Locaal may suspend or terminate any User’s access to the ContentsPal Platform upon notice to Customer in the event Locaal reasonably determines that such User has violated any terms of this Agreement. Customer will (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the ContentsPal Platform and Locaal Software and notify Locaal promptly of any such unauthorized access or use, and (b) use ContentsPal Platform and Locaal Software only in accordance with the Documentation and applicable laws and regulations.

2.3 Integrations. The ContentsPal Platform supports Integrations with certain Data Sources to ingest Customer Data and Third Party Data into the ContentsPal Platform. Customer’s access and use of such Data Sources shall be governed solely by the terms and conditions of the provider of such Data Sources and Locaal does not endorse, is not responsible or liable for, and makes no representations as to Customer Data or Third Party Data or any aspect of any Data Sources that Customer connects with the ContentsPal Platform using the Integrations. In order for the ContentsPal Platform to communicate with such Data Sources, Customer may be required to input Customer’s access credentials for the Data Sources in order to authorize the ContentsPal Platform to connect to the Data Sources and to transmit, receive and process Customer Data to provide the ContentsPal Platform to Customer. By enabling any Data Sources, Customer is expressly permitting Locaal to disclose Customer’s access credentials to the provider of the Data Source and to ingest into the ContentsPal Platform Customer Data from the Data Source as necessary to provide the ContentsPal Platform to Customer and its Users. Locaal assumes no responsibility for the Data Sources, or their availability or unavailability, or for the accuracy, completeness, integrity or legality of any Customer Data and/or Third Party Data received from the Data Sources. Locaal cannot guarantee the continued availability of Integrations to such Data Sources features, and may cease enabling access to them, if, for example and without limitation, the provider of a Data Source ceases to make the Data Source available for interoperation with the ContentsPal Platform in a manner acceptable to Locaal. Integrations with Data Sources may be dependent on the APIs made available by the Data Sources, and, in the case of Customer’s Data Sources, APIs made available by Customer and Locaal assumes no liability for any failure of the Integrations to connect to the Data Sources or to ingest Customer Data or Third Party Data that is attributable to the APIs or the Data Sources. Customer irrevocably waives any claim against Locaal arising out of or related to any Data Sources, or the connection of Customer’s ContentsPal Platform account with any Data Sources, selected by Customer or its Users. 

2.4 System Requirements. A high-speed Internet connection is required for proper use of the ContentsPal Platform and ingestion of Customer Data from Data Sources. Customer is responsible for procuring and maintaining the network connections that connect Customer’s network to the ContentsPal Platform including, but not limited to, browser software that supports protocols used by the ContentsPal Platform. Locaal is not responsible for notifying Customer of any upgrades, fixes or enhancements to any such software or for any compromise of data, including Customer Data, transmitted across computer networks or telecommunications facilities (including but not limited to the Internet) which are not owned, operated or controlled by Locaal. Locaal assumes no responsibility for the reliability or performance of any connections as described in this Section.

These Access Credentials are granted to individual, named persons and may not be shared; provided, however, that Access Credentials may be permanently reassigned between uniquely identified individuals over time, but may not be reassigned so frequently as to enable the sharing of single Access Credentials between multiple Users. Customer will at all times be responsible for all actions taken under Customer’s account or using any of its Access Credentials. Customer will require its Users to keep Access Credentials secure and confidential and will promptly notify Locaal of any unauthorized use of any Access Credentials.

In consideration for the rights granted hereunder, Customer will pay to Locaal the fees payable pursuant to Customer’s Subscription Plan in accordance with the payment terms applicable to such Subscription Plan. Locaal uses a third party payment processor, currently Stripe, to process online payments and Stripe’s terms and conditions and privacy policy are applicable to processing of payments and are set forth here.  All fees are nonrefundable, except as expressly otherwise set forth herein, and will be paid in U.S. dollars. Any fees that are not paid when due are subject to interest at one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, from the due date until paid. All amounts payable exclude taxes, levies, duties, sales and use taxes, value added tax, and similar governmental assessments of any nature excluding taxes on Locaal’s net income and employees (“Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes.  If Locaal has the legal obligation to collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible, Locaal will charge Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides Locaal with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.  Customer will make all payments to Locaal free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes; any such taxes imposed on payments of fees to Locaal will be Customer’s sole responsibility, and Customer will provide Locaal with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as Locaal may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.‍

5. CUSTOMER DATA. As between Customer and Locaal, Customer owns all right, title and interest in and to the Customer Data and reserves all rights not expressly granted to Locaal under this Agreement. ‍Customer represents, warrants and covenants that (i) Customer has all required rights and licenses to the Customer Data it submits to the ContentsPal Platform for processing, including all Customer Data transmitted from the Data Sources, and shall be solely responsible for the accuracy, integrity and legality of Customer Data, (ii) the Customer Data, and use of the ContentsPal Platform to process such Customer Data, will not violate applicable laws or regulations or third party rights, and (iii) the Customer Data will not contain any Malware. Customer grants to Locaal a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, worldwide license, under any and all of Customer’s Intellectual Property Rights, to (directly and indirectly using its third party hosting providers, affiliates and subcontractors) host, use, serve, render, store, access, copy, test, analyze, and create derivative works of the Customer Data for the sole purposes of providing the ContentsPal Platform to Customer. 

6. CONFIDENTIALITY.

6.1 Confidential Information. Each party (the “Disclosing Party”) may from time to time during the term of this Agreement disclose to or learn from the other party (the “Receiving Party”) certain information regarding the Disclosing Party’s business, including without limitation, technical, marketing, financial, employee, planning, and other confidential or proprietary information whether disclosed orally, in writing or visually, that is either marked or designated as confidential or is identified in writing as confidential at the time of disclosure or which the Receiving Party knew or should have known, under the circumstances, was considered confidential or proprietary by the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”). For the avoidance of doubt, the ContentsPal Platform, Locaal Technology, ContentsPal Platform Analytics, and Locaal Documentation constitute Confidential Information of Locaal and the Third Party Data constitutes Confidential Information of the Data Source. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, the Customer Data constitute Confidential Information of Customer. The Receiving Party’s obligations under this subsection will not apply to any portion of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information if the Receiving Party can document that such information: (a) was already lawfully known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (b) is disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party who had the right to make such disclosure without any confidentiality restrictions; (c) is, or through no fault of the Receiving Party has become, generally available to the public; or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. In addition, the Receiving Party will be allowed to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent that such disclosure is (i) approved in writing by the Disclosing Party, (ii) necessary for the Receiving Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement in connection with a legal proceeding; or (iii) required by law or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body, provided that the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party of such required disclosure promptly and in writing and cooperates with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s reasonable request and expense, in any lawful action to contest or limit the scope of such required disclosure.

6.2 Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose not expressly permitted by this Agreement, and will disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only to the employees of the Receiving Party who have a need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement and who are under a duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than the Receiving Party’s duty hereunder. The Receiving Party will (a) protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as the Receiving Party protects its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature and with no less than reasonable care; and (b) promptly advise the Disclosing Party upon becoming aware of any loss, disclosure, or duplication of the Confidential Information or of any breach of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the misappropriation of the Confidential Information. Both parties acknowledge and agree that the Disclosing Party may be irreparably harmed by any violation of this Article 6 (Confidentiality) and that the use of the Confidential Information for any purpose other than that stated herein may, among other things, enable the Receiving Party or other third parties receiving such Confidential Information to compete unfairly with the Disclosing Party. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, the disclosing party shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, to seek (i) an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post security or other bond; or (ii) a decree for specific performance of the applicable provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the obligations of the Receiving Party, with respect to the Confidential Information of Disclosing Party, shall be in full force and effect as follows: (A) in the case of any information or materials that constitute a trade secret within the meaning of applicable law, for as long as such information and materials remain as a trade secret, or (B) in the case of any other information or materials, during the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years following the termination or expiration of this Agreement.‍ Customer agrees that Locaal shall have the right to list Customer as a customer of Locaal, use Customer’s name and logo, in Locaal’s on and offline marketing collateral including as a customer on Locaal’s customer lists, including a short description of the ContentsPal Platform provided to Customer.

8. INDEMNIFICATION.

8.1 Locaal Indemnity. If Customer has purchased and paid for a twelve month subscription to the ContentsPal Platform (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt any beta versions, free trials, and free versions), Locaal shall defend (at Locaal’s expense), Customer and its affiliates and its and their officers, directors and employees from and against any third-party claims, suits, or proceedings ( “Claims”) brought against Customer or its officers, directors or employees by a third party contending that Customer’s use of the ContentsPal Platform in accordance with the Locaal Documentation infringes any Intellectual Property Rights of a third party and shall pay all damages finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to by Locaal in settlement of the Claim. In the event that the ContentsPal Platform or any part thereof is likely to, in Locaal’s sole opinion, or does become the subject of an infringement related Claim, and Locaal cannot, at its option and expense, procure for Customer the right to continue using the ContentsPal Platform, or any part thereof, or modify the ContentsPal Platform, or any part thereof, to make it non infringing, then Locaal may terminate this Agreement with notice to Customer and will provide the Customer with a refund of any pre-paid fees for the unexpired portion of the remaining Subscription Term. Locaal shall have no liability for any Claim or demand arising from (i) an allegation that does not state with specificity that the ContentsPal Platform is the basis of the Claims; (ii) the use or combination of the ContentsPal Platform or any part thereof with software, hardware, or other materials not developed by Locaal if the ContentsPal Platform or use thereof would not infringe without such combination; (iii) modification of the ContentsPal Platform by a party other than Locaal, if the use of unmodified ContentsPal Platform would not constitute infringement; (iv) use of the ContentsPal Platform in violation of this Agreement or the Locaal Documentation if the claim would not have arisen but for such breach or unauthorized use; (v) an allegation made against Customer arising out of or related to Customer Data, Integrations, Data Sources, Third Party Data or open source software; or (vi) beta versions, free trials or free versions of the ContentsPal Platform.

8.3 Indemnification Process. The foregoing indemnification obligations are conditioned on the indemnified party: (a) notifying the indemnifying party promptly in writing of such action, (b) reasonably cooperating and assisting in such defense at the indemnifying party’s expense, and (c) giving sole control of the defense and any related settlement negotiations to the indemnifying party. Neither party shall settle any claim without the other party’s prior written consent which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnified party may participate in the defense of the claim at the indemnified party’s expense.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ARE CUMULATIVE AND NOT PER INCIDENT AND SHALL APPLY EVEN IF THE NON-BREACHING PARTY’S REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT LIMIT CUSTOMER’S LIABILITY TO MAKE PAYMENT OF UNDISPUTED FEES DUE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON DURATION OR THE EXCLUSION OF AN IMPLIED WARRANTY, SO THE LIMITATIONS HEREIN MAY NOT APPLY. Neither party shall be responsible or liable for any loss, damage or inconvenience suffered by the other or by any third person, to the extent that such loss, damage or inconvenience is caused by the failure of the other party to comply with its obligations under this Agreement.‍ Each party acknowledges that the fees set forth in this Agreement reflect the allocation of risk between the parties and that the other party would not enter into this Agreement without these limitations on its liability.
