1. Introduction

By using the Oracle web-based technical support service that references these terms (by hyperlink, by reference or otherwise) ("Support Portal"), Customer (hereinafter "you") agrees to the following terms and conditions ("Support Portal Terms of Use"), and to the Oracle.com Terms of Use (http://www.oracle.com/html/terms.html), including without limitation Oracle's policies regarding use of Oracle's trademarks and logos; use of forums and public communications; and third party web sites, content and services. These terms supplement the terms of your agreement with Oracle or a vendor acquired by Oracle. In the event of a conflict between either your agreement or the Oracle.com Terms of Use (http://www.oracle.com/html/terms.html) and the following terms, the terms below will control your use of and access to the Support Portal.

Through the Support Portal, you may have access to various programs, software and web-based tools, and other materials made available by Oracle now and in the future, including but not limited to bulletins, white papers, and other technical publications; information on product certification, product availability, and product desupport; any bug database; service requests that you have submitted and related information; software patches; bulletin board and forum messages; and hyperlinks to web sites not controlled by Oracle (the "Materials").

You agree that access to the Support Portal, including access to the service request function, will be granted only to your designated support contacts and that the Materials may be used only in support of your authorized use of the Oracle product and/or cloud services for which you have a current support contract. Except as specifically provided in your agreement with Oracle, the Materials may not be used to provide services for or to third parties and may not be shared with or accessed by third parties. The Materials may be shared with or accessed by your agents or contractors acting on your behalf, subject to your Oracle agreement, solely for your support of your authorized use of the Oracle product and/or cloud services and you are responsible for their compliance with these Support Portal Terms of Use. You agree that you will not access or use the Support Portal in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, impair, or otherwise result in unauthorized access to or interference with, the proper functioning of any Oracle accounts, systems, or networks. For example, you may not use any software routines commonly known as robots, spiders, scrapers, or any other automated means, to access the Support Portal or any other Oracle accounts, systems, or networks.
