3.2. Fees and Payment. Fees for the Services are invoiced monthly in arrears and are due net on receipt of invoice. The Services are measured and priced based on GMV. Customer will pay all charges for the Services and/or Professional Services on the terms set forth in the Order or the TOS. Each monthly invoice will be determined by Customer’s previous month’s GMV and the applicable percentage or amount of the monthly minimum, as shown in the Order. Except as expressly stated in the TOS, any payments Customer makes to Company are final and non-refundable. Customer is responsible for providing accurate and current billing, contact and payment information to Company. Customer agrees that Company may charge its payment card or bill Customer for all amounts due for Customer's use of the Services, and Company may take steps to update Customer payment information (where permitted) to ensure payment can be processed.

All references to currency will be in US dollars ($USD), unless otherwise stated on the Order.
3.3. Taxes and Withholdings.

In all cases, Customer will pay the amounts due under this Agreement to Company in full without any right of set-off or deduction.

Customer further agrees that it may collect interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the highest amount permitted by law on any amounts not paid when due.
4. TERM AND TERMINATION.
4.1. Term. The initial term commitment for Customer's purchase of Services will be as specified on an Order (“Initial Term”) and begins on the Order Effective Date stated in the applicable Order. If the Order is silent, the Initial Term for Services will be 12 months. After the Initial Term, the Order for Services will automatically renew for additional periods of 12 months each (“Renewal Terms” and collectively with the Initial Term, the “Term”), unless either party provides notice of non-renewal at least 60 days before the Initial Term or then current Renewal Term of the Order expires.
4.2. Adding Services to an Order. The parties agree to align the Term for the Services under multiple Orders for Services, but this will not reduce the Term for the Services under any Order. The expiration of specific Services under one Order does not affect the Term of any other Order still in effect.
4.3. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate the Agreement (i) if the other party breaches a material obligation and fails to cure within 30 days of receipt of written notice of such breach by the other party, or (ii) where permitted by applicable law, if the other party becomes insolvent or bankrupt, liquidated or is dissolved, or ceases substantially all of its business.
4.4. Effect of Termination. If the Agreement or any Services are terminated, Customer will immediately discontinue all use of the terminated Services, except that Company will provide Customer with limited access to the Services for a period of at least 30 days solely to enable Customer to retrieve its Customer Content from the Services. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Company has no obligation to maintain the Customer Content after this 30-day period. Upon your request made before the end of such 30-day period, Company will securely destroy the Customer Content. Termination of the Agreement will not affect any claim arising prior to the termination date.
4.5. Survival. The terms of the TOS will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement to the extent reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of the parties as indicated herein.
5. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.
5.1 Company’s Proprietary Rights and Marks. Customer acknowledges that Company or its licensors retain all proprietary right, title and interest in the Services, all Documentation and the Company’s name, logo, or other marks (together, the “Marks”), and any related intellectual property rights, including, without limitation, all modifications, enhancements, derivative works, and upgrades thereto. Except for the express limited rights set forth in this Agreement, no right, title or interest in Company's Services, Documentation, or Marks is granted to Customer. Customer agrees that Customer will not use or register any trademark, service mark, business name, domain name or social media account name or handle which incorporates in whole or in part Company’s Marks or is similar to any of these.
5.2 Customer Content. Customer retains all rights to its Customer Content and is solely responsible for the Customer Content sent or transmitted by Customer or displayed or uploaded by Customer in using the Services and for compliance with all laws pertaining to the Customer Content, including, but not limited to, laws requiring Customer to obtain the consent of a third party to use the Customer Content and to provide appropriate notices of third-party rights. Customer hereby grants Company a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, modify, reproduce, and distribute Customer Content in order to provide and operate the Services. Company will not view, access, or process any of Customer Content, except: (x) as authorized or instructed by Customer in this Agreement or in any other agreement between the parties, or by Users, (y) as required to comply with Company policies, applicable law, or governmental request, or (z) as may be necessary for the support and performance of the Services.
5.3 Feedback. Customer hereby grants Company a fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable, assignable, irrevocable, and perpetual license to implement, use, modify, commercially exploit, incorporate into the Services or otherwise use any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations or other feedback Company receives from Customer, Customer's Affiliates and Users (“Feedback”). Company also reserves the right to seek intellectual property protection for any features, functionality or components that may be based on or initiated by Customer's Feedback.
5.4 Aggregated Statistics. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Company may collect and compile data and information related to Customer's use of the Services to be used by Company in an aggregated and anonymized manner, including, but not limited to compile statistical and performance information related to the provision and operation of the Services (“Aggregated Statistics”). All right, title, and interest in Aggregated Statistics, and all intellectual property rights therein, belong to and are retained solely by Company. Customer agrees that Company may (i) make Aggregated Statistics publicly available in compliance with applicable law, and (ii) use Aggregated Statistics to the extent and in the manner permitted under applicable law, provided that such Aggregated Statistics do not identify Customer or Customer Content.
5.5 Publicity. Customer agrees that Company may use Customer’s name and logo, and refer to Customer, in its promotional and marketing materials including on its website, lists and business presentations.
6. DATA PRIVACY AND SECURITY.
6.1. Security Safeguards. Each party will maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Customer Content and any associated personal data that is collected and/or processed through the Services. On Company’s part, those safeguards will include commercially reasonable measures designed to prevent unauthorized access, use, modification, deletion, and disclosure of Customer Content. Customer (not Company) has sole responsibility for adequate security, protection, and backup of Customer Content when in Customer’s or its representatives’ or agents’ possession or control.
6.2. Sub-processors. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Company may use sub-processors to help provide the Services, who may access Customer Content and any associated personal data, to provide, secure and improve the Services. Before sharing Customer Content with any sub-processors, Company will require that the sub-processor maintains, at a minimum, commercially reasonable data practices for maintaining the confidentiality and security of Customer Content and preventing unauthorized access. Company will be responsible for the acts and omissions of its sub-processors to the same extent that Company would be responsible if Company were performing the Services.
6.3. Data Protection Laws. To the extent that Company’s provision of the Services involves the processing of Personal Data under applicable data protection law, the parties agree that Customer will be deemed to be the Data Controller, and Company will be deemed to be the Data Processor, as those terms are understood under the applicable data protection law. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Personal Data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person where an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to their physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
6.4. Privacy Laws. Company acknowledges that Customer Content which includes Personal Data may be protected from disclosure by provincial and or federal law. Company agrees to only retain, use and disclose such data for the purposes of fulfilling its duties under this Agreement and to keep all such data to which it has access in the performance of this Agreement in a secure manner and disclose it only on direction by Customer.
7. CONFIDENTIALITY.
7.1. “Confidential Information.” Confidential Information means all information that is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be confidential or proprietary due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Company’s Services, Documentation and any related intellectual property rights, and the terms and conditions of the Agreement will be deemed Confidential Information of Company without any marking or further designation. Confidential Information will not include information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information.
7.2. Restrictions on Disclosure and Use. Each party (as “Receiving Party”) will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. If Receiving Party is required by law or court order to disclose Confidential Information, then Receiving Party will, to the extent legally permitted, provide Disclosing Party with advance written notification, and cooperate in any effort to obtain confidential treatment of the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party, the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.
8. WARRANTIES.
8.1. Company provides the Professional Services or Services using a commercially reasonable level of care, and warrants that the Services will materially conform to their Documentation under normal use. Company's entire liability and Customer's exclusive remedy under this warranty will be, at Company's sole option and subject to applicable law to provide conforming Services or Professional Services, or to terminate the non-conforming Services or Professional Services, and provide a pro-rated refund of any prepaid fees from the date Customer notifies Company of the non-conformance through the end of the remaining term of the applicable Order.

If there is a conflict between any of the above referenced documents, the conflict will be resolved in the following order: the Order, and any attachments to an Order, and the TOS. No modification of or amendment to the Agreement will be effective unless mutually agreed in writing.
13.8. General Terms. If any term of the Agreement is not enforceable, this will not affect any other terms. Both parties are independent contractors and nothing in the Agreement creates a partnership, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between the parties. No person or entity not a party to the Agreement will be a third-party beneficiary or have the right to modify the Agreement or to make commitments binding on Company. Failure to enforce any right under the Agreement will not waive that right. The Agreement may be agreed to online or executed by electronic signature and in one or more counterparts. No party will be responsible for any delay or failure to perform under the Agreement due to force majeure events (e.g., natural disasters; epidemics, pandemics, terrorist activities, activities of third-party service providers, labor disputes; and acts of government) and acts beyond a party’s reasonable control, but only for so long as those conditions persist.
13.9. Beta Services. Company may offer Customer access to beta services that are being provided prior to general release (“Beta Services”). Customer understands and agrees that the Beta Services may contain bugs, errors and other defects, and use of the Beta Services is at Customer's sole risk. Customer acknowledges that its use of Beta Services is on a voluntary and optional basis, and Company has no obligation to provide technical support and may discontinue provision of Beta Services at any time in its sole discretion and without prior notice to Customer. These Beta Services are offered “AS-IS”, and to the full extent permitted by applicable law, Company disclaims any liability, warranties, indemnities, and conditions, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise. If Customer is using Beta Services, Customer agrees to receive related correspondence and updates from Company and acknowledges that opting out may result in cancellation of Customer’s access to the Beta Services. If Customer provides Feedback about the Beta Service, Customer agrees that Company owns any Feedback that Customer shares with Company. For the Beta Services only, this Section supersedes any conflicting terms and conditions in the Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to resolve conflict. When, if at all, Company releases a Beta Service for general availability, it is no longer a “Beta Service” and is treated as a part of Services for all purposes under this Agreement (including the payment of applicable additional Fees).
