4.1 Fees and Taxes. As consideration for the Subscription Service, the Customer will pay to AppZen the fees set forth in the Services Agreement in US Dollars, in accordance with the payment terms set forth therein. In the event payment by credit card is stipulated in the Services Agreement, the Customer authorizes AppZen to charge the specified credit card for the fees due.

By agreeing to the Services Agreement, the Customer consents to AppZen’s use of such third-party payment processors and agrees to comply with any terms and conditions imposed by these processors and communicated to the Customer. AppZen will be entitled to withhold performance and discontinue the Subscription Service until any past due amount is paid in full.

APPZEN DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ALL ERRORS CAN BE CORRECTED, OR THAT OPERATION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE will BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. SOME STATES AND JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OR LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO CUSTOMER.
6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
6.1 Types of Damages. TO THE EXTENT LEGALLY PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES OR COSTS DUE TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, REVENUE, GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION OR THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES.
6.2 Amount of Damages. SUBJECT TO SECTION 6.3, TO THE EXTENT LEGALLY PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS, THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THE SERVICES AGREEMENT will NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID OR OWED BY CUSTOMER TO APPZEN DURING THE twelve (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE ACT, OMISSION OR OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY, EXCEPT THAT WITH RESPECT TO BREACHES OF SECTION 7 (CONFIDENTIALITY), THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THE SERVICES AGREEMENT will NOT EXCEED FIVE TIMES (5X) THE FEES PAID OR OWED BY CUSTOMER TO APPZEN DURING THE twelve (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE ACT, OMISSION OR OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT INCREASE THESE LIMITS.

6.4 Basis of the Bargain. The parties agree that the limitations of liability set forth in this Section 6 will survive and continue in full force and effect despite any failure of consideration or of an exclusive remedy. The parties acknowledge that the fees have been set and the Services Agreement is entered into in reliance upon these limitations of liability and that all such limitations form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties.
7. Confidentiality
During the Subscription Term, each party (the “Disclosing Party”) may provide the other party (the “Receiving Party”) with certain information regarding the Disclosing Party’s business, technology, products, or services or other confidential or proprietary information (collectively, “Confidential Information”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Subscription Service, Documentation, output of the Service, and all enhancements and improvements thereto, will be considered Confidential Information of AppZen, and the Raw Data will be considered Confidential Information of the Customer. The Receiving Party agrees that it will not use or disclose to any third party any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except as expressly permitted under the Services Agreement. The Receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information to its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who have a need to know, who have confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth herein, and who have been informed of the confidential nature of such information. In addition, the Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that it protects its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than reasonable care. At the Disclosing Party’s request or upon termination of the Services Agreement, the Receiving Party will return to the Disclosing Party or destroy/erase all copies of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party does not have a continuing right to use under the Services Agreement. The obligation to return or destroy Confidential Information or copies thereof will not extend to back-up or archival copies generated in the ordinary course of the Receiving Party’s information systems’ procedures or to copies that must be retained under Applicable Laws, provided that such copies will: (a) be erased or destroyed in the ordinary course of the Receiving Party’s data processing procedures; and (b) remain subject to the obligations of confidentiality stated herein for so long as they are retained. The confidentiality obligations set forth in this section will not apply to any information that: (i) becomes generally available to the public through no fault of the Receiving Party; ii) is lawfully provided to the Receiving Party by a third party free of any confidentiality duties or obligations; (iii) the Receiving Party can prove, by clear and convincing evidence, was already known to the Receiving Party without restriction at the time of disclosure; and (iv) the Receiving Party can prove, by clear and convincing evidence, was independently developed by employees and contractors of the Receiving Party who had no access to the Confidential Information. In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is necessary for the Receiving Party to enforce its rights under the Services Agreement or is required by law, provided that the Receiving Party promptly notifies the Disclosing Party in writing of such required disclosure and cooperates with efforts of the Disclosing Party to seek an appropriate protective Services Agreement.
8. Indemnification
8.1 By AppZen. AppZen will defend, at its expense, any third party suit brought against the Customer, and will pay any settlement AppZen makes or approves, or any damages finally awarded in such suit, insofar as such suit is based on a claim by any third party alleging that the Subscription Service infringes or misappropriates any Intellectual Property Rights of such third party. If any portion of the Subscription Service becomes, or in AppZen’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement, AppZen may, at AppZen’s option: (a) procure for the Customer the right to continue using the Subscription Service; (b) replace the Subscription Service with a non-infringing, substantially similar subscription service; or (c) modify the Subscription Service so that it becomes non-infringing. In the event that any portion of the Subscription Service becomes, or in AppZen’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of a finding of infringement or an injunction, and none of the prior options are reasonably feasible, AppZen may terminate the Services Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AppZen will have no obligation under this section or otherwise to the extent any infringement claim is based upon: (i) any use of the Subscription Service not in accordance with the Services Agreement or as specified in the Documentation; (ii) any use of the Subscription Service in combination with products, equipment, software or data not supplied or recommended by AppZen; (iii) any modification of the Subscription Service other than by AppZen or its authorized agents; or (iv) modification of the Subscription Service based upon specifications furnished by the Customer. This section states the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Customer and the entire liability of AppZen, or any of the officers, directors, employees, shareholders, contractors or representatives of the foregoing, for third party claims and actions described in this section.
8.2 By the Customer. The Customer will defend, at its expense, any third party suit brought against AppZen, and will pay any settlement the Customer makes or approves, or any damages finally awarded in such suit, insofar as such suit is based on a claim by any third party arising out of or relating to the Customer’s breach or alleged breach of Section 1.4 (Restrictions) and Section 2 (Customer Obligations). This section states the sole and exclusive remedy available to AppZen and the entire liability of the Customer, or any of the officers, directors, employees, shareholders, contractors or representatives of the foregoing, for third party claims and actions described in this section.
8.3 Procedure. The indemnifying party’s obligations as set forth above are expressly conditioned upon each of the foregoing: (a) the indemnified party will promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of any threatened or actual claim or suit; (b) the indemnifying party will have sole control of the defense or settlement thereof; and (c) the indemnified party will reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party to facilitate such settlement or defense.
9. Term And Termination
9.1 Term. The Services Agreement commences on the Effective Date and remains in effect until terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.
9.2 Termination. In addition to any rights to terminate the Services Agreement in the Services Agreement, either party may terminate the Services Agreement with immediate effect upon notifying the other party if the other party materially breaches the Services Agreement and fails to cure the breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of the breach from the non-breaching party.
9.3 Effect of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of the Services Agreement for any reason: (a) all rights and obligations of both parties (except for surviving items as provided for below) will terminate; and (b) within ten (10) days after the effective date of termination, each party will comply with the obligations to return, destroy or erase all Confidential Information of the other party, as set forth in Section 7. The Customer may, within thirty (30) days of termination of the Services Agreement, request AppZen to return the Customer’s Raw Data and any output results in its instance. Thereafter, AppZen will delete the Customer’s instance and any data contained therein. Any provision of this Agreement that, by its nature, is intended to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, including but not limited to obligations regarding confidentiality, indemnification, limitations of liability, and intellectual property rights, shall survive such termination or expiration.
10. Miscellaneous
10.1 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. The Services Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. In the event of a dispute between the parties, each party will provide the other party with written notice of the dispute as soon as practicable, and the parties agree to exercise reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute amicably. A dispute that cannot be resolved within thirty (30) days following the notice of the dispute will, upon written demand of either party, be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration. If both parties have headquarters in California, arbitration will be conducted exclusively in Santa Clara, California. If the Customer is not headquartered in California, arbitration will be conducted exclusively in New York, New York. Arbitration will be held by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”) pursuant to the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C., Section 1 et seq, and the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS then in effect. The arbitration will be conducted, and all evidence will be submitted in the English language. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses, and the two parties will share equally the fees and costs of the arbitrators, unless the arbitrator rules otherwise. The award rendered in the arbitration will be final and binding and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The foregoing will not apply if the dispute involves a breach of confidentiality obligation or an infringement of the other party’s Intellectual Property Rights. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to the Services Agreement.
10.2 Export Compliance. Each party will comply with local and foreign export control Applicable Laws, including U.S. export control laws.
10.3 Severability, Waiver, Nonexclusivity, and Relationship Nature. If any provision of the Services Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Services Agreement will remain enforceable and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Services Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. Nothing in the Services Agreement will be deemed to restrict or limit AppZen’s right to perform similar services for any other party or to assign any employees or subcontractors to perform similar services for any other party or to use any information incidentally retained in the unaided memories of its employees providing the Subscription Service. AppZen’s relationship to the Customer is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. Neither party will have, and will not represent to any third party that it has, any authority to act on behalf of the other.
10.4 No Assignment. The Customer will not assign, subcontract, delegate, or otherwise transfer the Services Agreement, or its rights and obligations herein, without obtaining the prior written consent of AppZen, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.
10.5 Force Majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party (except the payment of money owed) will not be considered a breach of the Services Agreement if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood, or any other event beyond the reasonable control of such party, provided that such party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the other party of the cause of such delay and to resume performance as soon as possible.
10.6 Notices. Except as otherwise specified in this Services Agreement, each party must deliver all notices or other communications under the Services Agreement in writing to the other party at the address listed in the Services Agreement by courier, by electronic mail, or by a nationally recognized express mail service. Notice will be effective upon receipt or refusal of delivery. If delivered by courier or express mail service, such notice will be deemed given on the delivery date reflected by the courier or express mail service receipt. Each party may change its address for notice by giving notice of such change to the other party.
10.7 Entire Agreement. The Services Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matters hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, negotiations and discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matters, whether oral or written. Subject to Section 10.8, no modification of, or amendment to, the Services Agreement, or any waiver of any rights under the Services Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized signatory of the Customer and AppZen. For the avoidance of doubt, no purchase order or similar Customer-issued order form document may be deemed to alter or supersede any terms set forth herein, even to the extent that AppZen signifies acceptance of any such purchase order or similar document; any such acceptance will serve solely as an acknowledgement of the Customer’s order which will be governed by the terms of this Service Agreement. This Service Agreement is not contingent, and the Customer has not relied upon, the delivery of any future functionality, regardless of any verbal or written communication around AppZen’s future plans. The Services Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which will be deemed to be one instrument.
10.8 Changes AppZen reserves the right to change these Terms and Conditions at any time. AppZen does not need to give the Customer notice of changes that benefit the Customer or that do not materially reduce the benefit of the Subscription Service. For any other change, AppZen will give the Customer such notice as it considers to be reasonable in the circumstances. AppZen may give the Customer notice by providing a message directly to the Customer (including by sending Customer an email, text message, or a message within the Subscription Service) or by posting a general notification on the Subscription Service platform. If Customer keeps using the Subscription Service or the Services after the notification is provided or posted, Customer will be deemed to have accepted the changes. If Customer doesn’t accept any changes, Customer must notify AppZen and cease using the Subscription Service immediately.
