Any other use is strictly prohibited and may result in termination of your access to  Services without refund or other recourse.  Except for the rights expressly granted herein, no other rights, are granted to Customer under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, and all rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by ObservePoint.  All right, title and interest in and to the  Services and related documentation are and shall remain the exclusive property of ObservePoint and/or its licensors, and successors and nothing herein grants to Customer any right to access copies of any ObservePoint Software, whether in source or object code form.  Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the  Services and any software used in connection with the Services and related documentation are protected under U.S. and foreign copyright and other intellectual property laws; (ii) ObservePoint and its licensors retain all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in the  Services and any software used in connection with providing the Services and related documentation; and (iii) except as otherwise provided herein, Customer acquires no ownership in or to  Services, any software used in connection with provision of the Services, or related documentation.

2.3.

3. Fees and Taxes.

3.1. Fees. Unless otherwise stated  in a Service Order, fees for Services are invoiced annually in advance, and payments are due thirty (30) days from date of invoice. If all amounts payable are not received when due, ObservePoint may charge interest on delinquent undisputed amounts at the lesser of (a) the maximum amount chargeable by law or (b) one and one-half percent (1½%) per month.  ObservePoint reserves the right to suspend access to the Services until payment is current, and such suspension shall not extend the expiration date of Services ordered.  Except as expressly provided herein, all amounts for Services ordered are non-cancellable by Customer and all fees paid hereunder are non-refundable.

3.2. Taxes. Unless otherwise stated in a Service Order, ObservePoint’s fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including but not limited to value-added, sales and use, or withholding taxes, assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder, other than direct taxes on the net income of ObservePoint. If ObservePoint has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this paragraph, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer, unless Customer provides ObservePoint with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

3.3. Travel Costs and Expenses.  Unless otherwise stated in a Service Order, Customer will be responsible for payment of all reasonable travel costs and expenses incurred (airfare, ground transportation, lodging, and per diem meals) in connection with any on-site consulting and/or professional services provided by ObservePoint, and such travel will be confirmed with Customer in advance of booking. If requested by Customer, ObservePoint consultants will use Customer’s standard guidelines and discount providers when making travel arrangements. Customer will be billed for travel costs and expenses separately and reimbursement requests shall be submitted monthly.

4. Term, Renewal, and Termination of Agreement.

4.3. Renewal of  Services. Unless otherwise stated in a Service Order, the term for provision of  Services shall automatically renew for an additional annual term (or, for a multi-year term, for the number of years in that Service Order) on the expiration date of the then-current term, and on each expiration date thereafter unless intent to cancel is received in writing by ObservePoint thirty (30) days prior to the renewal date. Upon renewal, we may increase your fees up to our then-current list price. If this increase applies to you, we will notify you at least thirty (30) days in advance of your renewal and the increased fees will apply at the start of the next renewal term. If you do not agree to this increase, either party can choose to terminate your subscription at the end of your then-current term by giving the notice required above.

4.4. Termination for Material Breach. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice in the event of a material breach by the other Party that is not remedied within thirty (30) days of such notice.  With regard to such termination, if the Customer validly terminates this Agreement on the grounds of a material breach by ObservePoint, ObservePoint shall, if requested by the Customer in writing, issue a prorated refund for the pre-paid amount of any unused Services within thirty (30) days of the Customer’s written request.

4.5. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of the Agreement or an applicable Service Order, Customer will cease all use of the Services and destroy all copies of accompanying documentation that are in Customer’s possession.  Upon termination of the Agreement or a specific Service Order, Customer shall have the following options with regard to Customer Information:  1) if Customer requests in writing, prior to termination, ObservePoint shall provide Customer with a copy of the Customer Information  stored on ObservePoint servers, and  ObservePoint shall then delete all such Customer Information  from ObservePoint servers; or 2) ObservePoint shall purge remaining Customer Information  from the ObservePoint servers, and ObservePoint shall have no further responsibility to retain copies of Customer Information.  The Parties agree and acknowledge that the foregoing requirement does not apply to Usage Information  to the extent it does not contain or embody Customer Information  in raw form.

5.2. Restrictions. Customer and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns shall not, and shall prevent its personnel from using the Services to: (i) resell, rent, lend, lease, distribute, or timeshare the Services or otherwise use the Services on behalf of any third party (including on a “service bureau” or similar basis), or otherwise provide third parties with access or grant third parties rights to the Services other than as expressly permitted by ObservePoint, (ii)  alter or remove any marks, proprietary legends, privacy statements contained in the Services; (iii) circumvent or otherwise interfere with any authentication or security measures of the Services; (iv) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services; (v) violate the terms of use or other agreements governing the use and access of third party websites or services; (vi) access all or any portion of the Services by means of any crawler, scraper, bot, spider, or any other similar script or automated process; (vii) transmit material containing software viruses or other harmful or deleterious computer code, files, scripts, agents, or programs; or (viii) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the object code, source code or underlying ideas or algorithms of the ObservePoint Software, and shall not modify, translate, or create derivative works based on any element of the Services.  The Services may only be used for lawful purposes and in a lawful manner, and as such Customer agrees to comply with all applicable laws, statutes and regulations.

6. Customer’s Responsibilities.

6.1. Computers and Connectivity. Customer is responsible for providing and maintaining adequate computer equipment, its own software, internet browsers, internet connections, connectivity, and firewall access required for the access and use of the Services.

6.2. Security. Customer is solely responsible for determining which of its own personnel will have access to Customer Information and any data protection requirements to apply with respect thereto, including cross border data transfer requirements, related to the access, disclosure or distribution of such Customer Information.  If any Customer password is lost, stolen or otherwise compromised, Customer shall promptly notify ObservePoint, and ObservePoint issue a replacement password to Customer.

7. Disclaimers, Warranties

7.1. Free Services Disclaimer of Liability. Absent a signed Service Order, if Customer chooses to utilize any free Services made available by ObservePoint, Customer releases, waives, and otherwise holds harmless ObservePoint from any loss or liability Customer incurs in its use or reliance upon such free offerings. Customer acknowledges and agrees that ObservePoint is only able to make the free offerings available to Customer based on Customer’s agreement to hold ObservePoint harmless from any liability Customer sustains either directly or indirectly arising from the free services, and as such Customer’s sole and exclusive legal remedy shall be to cease using the free Services.  ObservePoint makes no representations or warranties whatsoever about such free Services. ObservePoint does not make any guarantees about the accuracy of any information contained in, by or through any free offerings.

7.2. Warranty. During the subscription term set forth in an applicable Service Order, in the event that Customer notifies ObservePoint that the Services do not materially conform to the specifications set forth in an applicable Service Order, ObservePoint shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with support to address such non-conformity.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SETFORTH HEREIN, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS”, AND OBSERVEPOINT MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY AND ALL SUCH IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE AS TO THE SECURITY, PERFORMANCE, NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE SERVICES. FOR CLARIFICATION, OBSERVEPOINT DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE AND ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ACTIONS TAKEN BY CUSTOMER BASED ON THE SERVICES PROVIDED INCLUDING CUSTOMER’S ACTIONS FOR CUSTOMER TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAWS, REGULATIONS OR OTHER GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS.
7.3. Third Party Software.

7.4. Implied Warranties. Some states or other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to Customer. Customer may also have other rights that vary from state to state and jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

8. Limited Trademark License/Publicity.

During the subscription term set forth in an applicable Service Order, Customer grants ObservePoint a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to use Customer’s name and logo to identify that Customer uses the Services (“Limited Trademark License”) on the ObservePoint website and/or in presentations and marketing materials.  To the extent that Customer is an agency or consultant of the company that will ultimately benefit from the Services provided hereunder, then Customer agrees that it has secured from its client a right and license for ObservePoint to use such client’s name and logo in connection with ObservePoint’s marketing and to identify such client as an ObservePoint Customer. Upon termination of this Agreement, the foregoing Limited Trademark License shall automatically terminate, provided however, that ObservePoint shall be allowed to continue using a Customer’s name and logo on any hardcopy marketing materials that were already in existence on the date of termination.

9. Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, it is to that extent to be deemed omitted. The remainder of the Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

10. Assignment.

This Agreement may not be assigned by either Party without the other Party’s prior written approval, except that ObservePoint may assign its rights pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any merger or reorganization involving ObservePoint or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of ObservePoint’s assets or stock. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties, and upon their heirs, acquirers, executors, personal representatives, administrators, and assignees.

If such claims are settled with no judicial determination of comparative fault, then the Parties agree to determine their comparative fault prior to any settlement.

11.4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

FOR CLARIFICATION, OBSERVEPOINT DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE AND ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ACTIONS TAKEN BY CUSTOMER BASED ON THE SERVICES PROVIDED INCLUDING CUSTOMER’S ACTIONS FOR CUSTOMER TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAWS, REGULATIONS OR OTHER GOVERNMENMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. SOME STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO CUSTOMER.

ObservePoint and Customer are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between the Parties. Neither Party is an agent or representative of the other nor is either Party authorized to, and shall not, make any warranties or representations or assume or create any other obligations on behalf of the other.

13. Confidentiality

13.1. Confidential Information. Each Party (each a “Discloser”) agrees that, in the course of performing its obligations hereunder, either might provide to the other (the “Recipient”) or develop information identified as confidential or that reasonably could be construed as confidential (“Confidential Information”).

The Recipient shall not disclose any such Confidential Information to persons not an employee or agent of Recipient nor to its affiliates without the prior written consent of the Discloser.  Any misuse or breach hereof must be reported promptly.  Nevertheless and notwithstanding the foregoing statement, each Party will attempt to comply with legally executed subpoena served upon such Party.

13.2. Caveats. The non-use and non-disclosure obligations of this Section 13 shall not apply to any information that (a) was already known to the Recipient at the time of disclosure, (b) was already in the public domain at the time of disclosure, or (c) was received or developed by the Recipient independent of any information received from the Discloser.  Recipient may disclose information pursuant to a request under applicable law.  Unless prohibited by law, if the information requested is Discloser Confidential information, Recipient shall notify Discloser of the request and give Discloser a reasonable opportunity to establish that the Discloser Confidential Information is exempt from disclosure under one or more exemptions under applicable law.

18. Force Majeure.

Except for any obligation to pay amounts due, either Party hereto will be temporarily excused from performance hereunder, in whole or in part, for any period of time that the Party is prevented from performing its obligations as a result of an act of God, governmental regulation or act, war, natural catastrophe, civil disobedience, court order, or other cause beyond the Party’s reasonable control.  Such non-performance will not constitute grounds for termination or default.

19. Governing Law.

This Agreement is made in accordance with and is governed and construed under The Laws of The State of Utah, without reference to such state’s conflicts of laws principles. Customer consents to the sole jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts of Salt Lake City, Utah for actions related to the subject matter hereof, to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 21, and irrevocably waives any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-conveniens or any similar ground. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods or the Uniform Commercial Code or similar statutes shall not apply with respect to this Agreement.

20. Legal Advice.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that ObservePoint has not and will not provide Customer with any legal advice and specifically ObservePoint has not given legal advice regarding relevant laws, rules, or regulations in the jurisdictions in which Customer uses the Services nor will Customer construe any ObservePoint communications as legal advice.
