Supplier is under no obligation to retain data for more than thirty (30) days beyond the expiration or termination of the Agreement or any given Order Form.

Indemnification

By Supplier. Supplier will, at its expense, defend Customer against any claim, demand, suit, or proceeding made or brought against Customer, or any Corporate Affiliates authorized to use the Products pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii)(A) of these GTCs, by a third party alleging that Customer’s use of a Product within the scope of the Agreement infringes or misappropriates the IP Rights of such a third party (a “Claim Against Customer”), and will indemnify Customer from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Customer, or for amounts paid by Customer under a settlement approved by Supplier in writing, as a result of a Claim Against Customer; provided that Customer notifies Supplier promptly in writing of the Claim Against Customer, provides Supplier with the sole control and authority to defend or settle the Claim Against Customer, and gives Supplier the authority, information and assistance necessary to settle or defend the Claim Against Customer. If any of the Products are, or in Supplier’s opinion are likely to be, claimed to infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third-party IP Rights, Supplier may in its discretion and at no cost to Customer (i) modify or replace the Products, in whole or in part, to make the Products (as so modified or replaced) non-infringing, while providing materially similar features and functionality, (ii) obtain the right for Customer to continue to use the Products as contemplated by the Agreement, or (iii) by written notice to Customer, terminate the Agreement with respect to all or part of the Products, and require Customer to immediately cease any use of the Products, or any specified part or feature thereof, provided that Customer shall be entitled to a Pro Rata Refund for any Products that are terminated pursuant hereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier shall have no obligation to defend against or indemnify for any Claims Against Customer to the extent they arise from: (A) combination, operation, integration or interfacing of the Cloud Services with Third-Party Content, if such Claim Against Customer would not have arisen but for such combination, operation, integration or interfacing; (B) use of the Products in a manner other than as authorized by the Agreement; (C) Supplier’s use of Customer Data in conjunction with the Products; or (D) modifications to the Cloud Services by any person other than Supplier or its authorized agents or subcontractors.

By Customer. Customer will, at its expense, defend Supplier against any claim, demand, suit, or proceeding made or brought against Supplier or any of its Corporate Affiliates or Personnel by a third party (i) alleging that any Customer Data, use of Customer Data by Supplier within the scope of the Agreement, or Customer action or inaction described in the final sentence of Section 8(a), infringes or misappropriates the IP Rights of such a third party, (ii) arising from Customer’s use of the Products in an unlawful manner or in violation of the Agreement, or (iii) which relates in any way to Customer’s relationship with Partner, including but not limited to anything arising from an Offer (a “Claim Against Supplier”), and will indemnify Supplier from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Supplier, or for amounts paid by Supplier under a settlement approved by Customer in writing, as a result of a Claim Against Supplier; provided that Supplier notifies Customer promptly in writing of the Claim Against Supplier, provides Customer with the sole control and authority to defend or settle the Claim Against Supplier, and gives Customer the authority, information and assistance necessary to settle or defend the Claim Against Supplier.

THE FOREGOING STATES THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY TO, AND THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST, THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD-PARTY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS DESCRIBED IN SECTIONS 8(a) AND 8(b).

Warranty & Warranty Disclaimer

Mutual Representations and Warranties. Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that: (i) it is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing as a corporation or other entity under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or other organization; (ii) it has the full right, power, and authority to enter into and perform its obligations and grant the rights, licenses, consents, and authorizations it grants or is required to grant under the Agreement; (iii) the execution of the Agreement by its representative whose signature is set forth at the end of the Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or organizational action of such Party; and (iv) when executed and delivered by both parties, the Agreement will constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms.

Additional Supplier Representations, Warranties, and Covenants.

Cloud Services. Supplier warrants that the Cloud Services will perform in material conformance with current Documentation.  As Customer’s sole remedy for any breach of this warranty, if Customer provides notice to Supplier of any reproducible incidence of non-conformance within thirty (30) days of discovering any such non-conformance, Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct such non-conformance, provided such non-conformance is not caused by: (A) negligence, gross negligence, or intentional misconduct on the part of Customer or any of its Authorized Users, (B) Customer’s failure to use of the Cloud Services in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, (C) Third Party Content or any other product or service not provided by Supplier its Corporate Affiliates, or its Personnel, or (D) Harmful Code, to the extent that such Harmful Code was not introduced as a result of Supplier’s negligence, gross negligence, or intentional misconduct.  If Supplier cannot correct a non-conformity within ninety (90) days from the date Customer provided notice of the non-conformity (the “Remedy Period”), then Customer may terminate the license for the non-conforming Cloud Service and receive a Pro Rata Refund for the non-conforming Cloud Service.  If Customer fails to exercise this right to terminate within fifteen (15) days after the end of the Remedy Period, Customer shall be deemed to have waived this right.

Services. Supplier warrants that the Services will be performed in a professional manner consistent with generally accepted industry standards for the Services.  As Customer’s sole remedy for any breach of this warranty, if Customer provides notice to Supplier of any documented incidence of non-conformance within thirty (30) days of discovering any such non-conformance, Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct such non-conformance, provided such non-conformance is not caused by: (A) Customer’s failure to adhere to its obligations under the Agreement, including but not limited to any assumptions set forth in an SOW, or (B) Third-Party Content or any other product or service not provided by Supplier, its Corporate Affiliates, or its Personnel.

Service Level Agreements. Service Level Agreements, to the extent that there are any, are those terms which are clearly identified as such in an SOW, Order Form, or the PSTs for a particular Product (“SLA”).  Supplier’s failure to meet a particular SLA shall not be a breach of warranty under Section 9(b)(i), unless and only to the extent that the SLAs expressly state otherwise.  Supplier’s sole and exclusive remedy for Supplier’s failure to meet a particular SLA will be as set forth in the SLAs.

Additional Customer Representations, Warranties, and Covenants. Customer represents, warrants, and covenants to Supplier that Customer (i) has complied with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to those applicable to the collection and use of Customer Data in connection with this Agreement, and (ii) owns or otherwise has and will have the necessary rights and consents in and relating to the Customer Data so that, as received by Supplier and processed in accordance with the Agreement, including any DPA, they do not and will not infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any IP Rights, or any privacy or other rights of any third party or violate any applicable law or regulation.  To the extent that any Customer Data was collected first by a third-party, such as a data broker, Customer further represents, warrants, and covenants to Supplier that it has a written agreement with any such third-party which requires that third-party to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to those applicable to the collection and use of the data obtained from that third-party.

DISCLAIMERS. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 9 AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PRODUCTS, AND THIRD-PARTY CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS,” AND SUPPLIER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY AND CONDITION OF MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR THE USE OF REASONABLE SKILL AND CARE.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING: (1) SUPPLIER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PRODUCTS WILL MEET ALL OF CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS, OR THAT THEIR OPERATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE; (2) LICENSOR MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEES OR CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO ANY INTERACTIONS BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND PARTNERS, WHETHER SUCH INTERACTIONS ARE FACILITATED BY THE CLOUD SERVICES OR OTHERWISE, OR THIRD-PARTY CONTENT PROVIDED WITH OR AS PART OF THE PRODUCTS; AND (3) SUPPLIER DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY THIRD PARTY’S PRIVACY OR DATA SECURITY PRACTICES. SUPPLIER’S LIMITED WARRANTIES DO NOT APPLY TO ANY CLOUD SERVICE WHICH HAS BEEN MODIFIED OR ALTERED IN ANY MANNER BY ANYONE OTHER THAN SUPPLIER, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS PERSONNEL. Some states or jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of certain or any express or implied warranties, representations, guarantees, or conditions, so the above disclaimers many not apply to Customer. Nothing in the Agreement excludes, restricts, or modifies any right or remedy, or any guarantee, representation, warranty, condition or other term, implied or imposed by any applicable law which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. The Parties agree that it is Customer’s responsibility to determine if the Products are suitable for Customer’s requirements. No other terms, conditions, representations, warranties or guarantees, whether written or oral, express or implied, will form a part of the Agreement or have any legal effect whatsoever.

Limitation of Liability. SUPPLIER’S ENTIRE LIABILITY UNDER THE AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE PRODUCTS WILL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT DAMAGES IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER TO SUPPLIER UNDER THE AGREEMENT DURING THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE FIRST EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. SUPPLIER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF REVENUE, PROFITS, GOODWILL OR DATA (INCLUDING DUE TO A VIRUS OR OTHERWISE), BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, FAILURE TO REALIZE EXPECTED SAVINGS, CORRUPTION OF DATA, OR CLAIMS AGAINST CUSTOMER BY ANY THIRD PARTY, EVEN IF SUPPLIER IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE.  THESE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY REGARDLESS OF HOW THE CLAIM ARISES, INCLUDING FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE, AND WILL APPLY TO ALL ORDER FORMS, SOWS, AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT.  SUPPLIER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY CLAIMS WHICH RESULT FROM THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND PARTNERS, WHETHER SUCH INTERACTIONS ARE FACILITATED BY THE CLOUD SERVICES OR OTHERWISE.  THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN SUPPLIER AND CUSTOMER AND FORM A MATERIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES.  SUPPLIER’S PRICING REFLECTS THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK AND THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SPECIFIED HEREIN.

Term and Termination

Term. The initial term of an Order Form or SOW will commence on the effective date set forth in the Order Form or SOW (the “Effective Date”) and will continue thereafter for the period as set out in the Order Form or SOW (“Initial Term”), unless terminated earlier by Supplier or Customer in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in an Order Form, an Order Form will automatically renew at the then-current Usage Metrics for additional recurring periods equal to the lesser of (i) the length of the Initial Term, or (ii) one (1) year (each being a “Renewal Term” and, collectively, with the Initial Term, the “Term”), unless either Party provides the other Party with thirty (30) days written notice prior to the conclusion of an Initial Term or any Renewal Term, as applicable. All terms and conditions hereof shall remain in effect during any Renewal Term, except as otherwise stated in the Agreement or expressly agreed to by the Parties in writing.  The term of these GTCs and the Agreement shall align with the Term of the Order Form or SOW which incorporates these GTCs. 

Suspension 

Failure to Pay Fees. Upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Customer, Supplier may suspend (A) Customer’s right to use of any Cloud Services, and/or (B) the provision of any Services, for as long as any undisputed Fees are delinquent and remain unpaid.  An invoice which indicates a past due amount shall satisfy the notice requirements of this Section 11(b)(i).

Misuse. Upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Customer, Supplier may suspend Customer’s right to use any Product which is not being used in conformance with the terms of the Agreement for as long as any such nonconformity remains uncured. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such nonconformity is, in Supplier’s sole discretion, likely to cause material harm or risk of harm to Supplier, its Corporate Affiliates, its Personnel, or the Products, Supplier may suspend Customer’s right to use the Product immediately without notice to Customer.

Additional Terms. In the event of any suspension under this Section 11(b), (A) Supplier shall not be precluded from exercising any additional remedies that might be available to it under the terms of the Agreement or otherwise, (B) the Term will not be extended and no Fees will be refunded to account for any period of suspension, and (C) Customer forfeits all right to use the Products and any other Supplier Materials, including without limitation Supplier’s Confidential Information, during the period of suspension, except to the extent that Supplier gives Customer its prior written consent to use Supplier any of the foregoing to cure the default that led to the suspension.  Any written notice provided under this Section 11(b) shall also satisfy the written notice requirements of Section 11(c) below.  Any choice by Supplier to forego suspension under this Section 11(b) shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights under the Agreement or otherwise.

Termination by Supplier. Supplier has the right to terminate the Agreement or any portion thereof, if Customer is in default of any material term or condition of the Agreement, and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such default. Without limitation, it will be deemed a Customer default under the Agreement if Customer fails to pay any amount when due hereunder. Supplier may terminate the Agreement immediately if: (i) Customer uses a Product in a way that violates any law or is causing, or is reasonably expected to cause, material harm to Supplier, its Corporate Affiliates, its Personnel, or the Products; or (ii) Customer becomes insolvent, a receiver, administrator, controller or a liquidator is appointed to Customer, Customer assigns any of its property for the benefit of creditors or any class of them or any proceedings have been commenced by or against Customer under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

Termination by Customer. Customer has the right to terminate the Agreement, or any portion thereof, if Supplier is in default of any material term or condition herein and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such default, or if Supplier becomes insolvent or any proceedings are to be commenced by or against Supplier under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

Effect of Termination and Expiration. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, or any portion thereof, for any reason, any and all amounts owed to Supplier pursuant to the Agreement, or the portion of the Agreement which has terminated or expired, will be immediately due and payable, and all rights, or those rights attributable the portion of the Agreement which has terminated or expired, granted to Customer hereunder will be immediately revoked and terminated. The obligations of the Parties and the provisions of the Agreement which are expressly stated to survive, or may be reasonable expected to survive, shall survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement, including without limitation Sections 6, 7(c), 8, 10, 13 and 14 of the Agreement.

Assignment. Neither Party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, except Supplier may assign the Agreement to any of its Corporate Affiliates without consent of Customer, provided that the Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of any Supplier successor or assignee. If Customer is acquired by, sells substantially all of its assets to, or undergoes change of control in favor of, a direct competitor of Supplier, then Supplier may terminate the Agreement with immediate effect upon written notice.

General

Export Compliance. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it and it’s Products, and derivatives thereof, may be subject to economic sanctions, anti-terrorism, and export and technology transfer control laws and policies and other restrictions regarding the sale, supply and use of its Products (“Export Laws”). Customer is responsible for ensuring that it complies with any applicable Export Laws when making use of the Cloud Services itself and with others, including but not limited to Partners.  Each Party represents that it is not named on any U.S. government denied-party list. Customer shall not permit access or use of the Products in a U.S.-embargoed country, EU- embargoed country, or United Nations-embargoed country or in violation of any other applicable embargo, export law or regulation.

Anti-Corruption. Customer has not received or been offered any illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift, or thing of value from any of Supplier’s employees or agents in connection with the Agreement. Reasonable gifts and entertainment provided in the ordinary course of business do not violate the above restriction. If Customer learns of any violation of the above restriction, Customer will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Supplier.

Subcontractors. Supplier reserves the right to make use of subcontractors to provide or develop any of the Products and to use such means as Supplier, in its sole discretion, considers appropriate. Supplier’s use of subcontractors shall not relieve Supplier of its obligations under the Agreement.

Non-Solicitation. During the Term of the Agreement and for a period of one (1) year following the termination of the Agreement, each Party hereto agrees not to solicit, recruit or employ any employee of the other Party without the prior written consent of an authorized representative of the other Party. For purposes of this section, the term “employee,” shall include any person with such status at any time during the six (6) months preceding any solicitation in question. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing restriction shall not apply to the following forms of solicitation (and resulting employment): (i) a Party using general bona fide solicitations directed at the public or industry participation in general publications or internet resources not specifically targeted at employees of the other Party, or employing any person who responds to such solicitations; (ii) using search firms, or hiring any persons solicited by such search firms, so long as such firms are not advised by a Party to solicit employees of the other Party; or (iii) soliciting any person who has left the employment of the other Party prior to the date of the Agreement.

All notices will be in writing, and will be deemed to be delivered upon (i) personal delivery; (ii) one business day after being delivered by reputable international shipping service to the address of the applicable Party set forth on the most recent Order Form or SOW, or if no such address exists, the last known address available to the Party providing notice; or (iii) when delivered by electronic mail (with confirmation of delivery) the Parties at the email addresses shown on the most recent Order Form or SOW, or if no such email address exists, the last known email address available to the Party providing notice, except for notices of termination or an indemnifiable claim (“Legal Notices”) which cannot be delivered electronically.   Each Party may modify its recipient of notices by providing notice pursuant to this Section 15(e).

0 The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement and supersedes all proposals, oral and written, and all previous negotiations and communications between the Parties and their representatives with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that, in entering into the Agreement, it does not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether it was made negligently or innocently) of any person (whether a Party to the Agreement or not) other than as expressly set out in the Agreement. The Agreement will prevail over terms and conditions of any Customer-issued purchase order, which will have no force and effect, even if Supplier accepts or does not otherwise reject the purchase order.  In the event of conflict between these GTCs and an Order Form or SOW, the terms of the Order Form or SOW shall control, but only as to that Order Form or SOW.  In the event of a conflict between the DPA and any other component of the Agreement, the DPA shall control.  If any provision contained herein or part thereof is determined to be void or unenforceable in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalid provision or part thereof shall be deemed not to affect or impair the validity or enforceability of any other provision or part thereof contained herein, all of which remaining provisions or parts thereof shall be and remain in full force and effect. 

Customer acknowledges and agrees that Supplier may, in its sole discretion, modify these GTCs from time to time, and that any such modifications become effective thirty (30) days after the date that Supplier provides the updated GTCs to Customer, which may be done by sending Customer an email or invoice containing a URL that hosts the updated GTCs along with a clear message that these GTCs have been updated.  Customer is responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with the updated GTCs.  If, prior to the effective date of the updated GTCs, Customer notifies Supplier of its objection to a modification of the GTCs which would result in a material degradation of Customer’s rights or Supplier’s obligations to Customer under the GTCs, then Supplier shall either conduct good faith negotiations of only those modifications which would result in such a material degradation, or, upon thirty (30) days notice to Customer, terminate the Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the termination right set forth in this Section shall be in addition to any other termination right Supplier may otherwise have under the Agreement.  If Supplier exercises its right to terminate pursuant to the terms of this Section, Customer shall be entitled to a Pro-Rata Refund of any Fees already paid by Customer for the affected Products, calculated from the effective date of any such termination. Customer’s failure to object prior to the effective date of the updated GTCs shall be deemed acceptance of the updated GTCs.  Except for Supplier’s right to update these GTCs pursuant to this Section, and except as otherwise agreed to in an SOW or Order From, the Agreement may only be modified by written amendment signed by the Parties.

Non-Waiver. Except as expressly stated in the Agreement, no term of the Agreement will be deemed waived, and no breach of a term excused, unless the waiver or excuse is provided in writing and signed by the Party issuing it.

Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under the Agreement, except for Customer’s payment obligations, due to any cause beyond the Party’s reasonable control, which may include labor disputes or other industrial disturbances, systemic electrical, telecommunications or other utility failures, earthquakes, storms or other acts of nature, global pandemic, embargoes, riots, acts or orders of government, acts of terrorism, or war (each a “Force Majeure Event”). The affected Party shall be excused from performance for as long as the Force Majeure Event continues, provided that the affected Party uses commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of the Force Majeure Event and resume performance.

Supplier may, no more frequently than annually, audit Customer’s use of the Products (e.g., through use of software tools or otherwise) to assess whether Customer’s use of the Products is in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Customer agrees to cooperate with Supplier’s audit and provide reasonable assistance and access to information. Any such audit shall not unreasonably interfere with Customer’s normal business operations. Customer agrees to pay, within thirty (30) days of written notification to Customer, any fees applicable to Customer’s use of the Products in excess of the applicable Usage Metrics. Supplier shall bear all costs of the Audit, except for any of Customer’s costs incurred in cooperating with the audit.

Independent Contractors. The relationship of the Parties established by the Agreement is that of independent contractors.  The Agreement does not establish an agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between Supplier and Customer. Supplier and its Personnel, and other entities which represent Supplier, are acting as independent contractors and not as employees or agents of Customer. Nothing in the Agreement will be construed to permit either Party to bind the other or to enter into obligations on behalf of the other Party
