Good day,

We’ve been a long time nessus “feed” customer since they started
charging for the immediate access.  However, we go to renew our license
this time and they have a new agreement to sign and they are being
difficult about budging.

http://cgi.tenablesecurity.com/Subscription_Agreement.pdf

From the Subscription agreement:

""" Accordingly, You agree that You will, at Your expense, indemnify,
defend and hold Tenable harmless in all claims and actions that seek
compensation of any kind for injury or death to persons and/or for
damage to property that arise out of or relate to Your security
solutions or Your use of the Plugins, or the solutions You provide to a
third party through Your use of the Plugins. You also agree to pay all
settlements, costs, damages, legal fees and expenses finally awarded in
all such claims and actions. """

That's language our Legal department won't accept under any circumstances.

Have any other orgs out there been unable to renew their feeds over this?
