Business Partner Code of Conduct

LogicMonitor is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of business conduct and ethics everywhere we operate or do business, and we are committed to following all applicable laws and regulations.  The strength of our reputation is based, not only on our own conduct, but also on the actions of those with whom we do business.  For that reason, we aim to work only with third parties who share our values and are committed to compliance with all applicable laws.  This Code is the foundation of our relationship with our Business Partners – creating a mutual understanding of our company’s core values and beliefs. This Code is not exhaustive; Business Partners are required to use their best judgment to ensure compliance with unaddressed topics.

Part of conducting business with LogicMonitor includes compliance with this Business Partner Code of Conduct. LogicMonitor has the right to terminate business with any Business Partner who fails to adhere to this Code.

Speaking Up

The policy of LogicMonitor is to require full compliance with both the letter and spirit of all antitrust laws of the countries where we do business.  LogicMonitor Business Partners are not permitted to:
