Inscale will provide Services under this Professional Services Agreement only to Customer’s (or a Customer Affiliate’s).

3 Fees.

Invoice and Payment.

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable SOW, all Fees (except for any disputed Fees then subject to a Billing Dispute under Section 3.6) shall be due and payable immediately upon receipt of the invoice date. Customer shall provide Inscale with complete and accurate billing and contact information including a valid email address for receipt of invoices.

Customer shall reimburse Inscale for all reasonable travel, food, lodging and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance and/or provision of the Services. Specific types of travel expenses and rates will be billed at the rates included in the SOW. If Inscale incurs any additional of the foregoing or additional costs or expenses in providing the Services and/or if Inscale charges any additional fees as described in Section 6.2 below, such fees, costs, and expenses may be invoiced separately.

Overdue Payments. Without limiting Inscale’s rights and remedies under this Services Agreement or by Law, any Fees not paid by Customer (except for any disputed Fees then subject to a Billing Dispute under Section 3.6) within thirty (30) days of the invoice date shall accrue late charges at the rate of one and one percent (1.0%) of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by Law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid, plus all reasonable expenses and fees of collection (including attorneys’ fees and court and administrative costs).

Customer shall make all payments required without deduction of any Taxes, except as required by Law, in which case the amount payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making any required deductions and withholdings, Inscale receives and retains (free from any liability for payment of Taxes) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. If Customer is exempt from paying any applicable Taxes, Customer shall promptly provide written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Inscale of its tax-exempt status, and Inscale will not include such Taxes in Customer’s invoices.

Suspension of Services for Non-Payment. If Customer’s account is more than thirty (30) days past due (except with respect to any disputed Fees then subject to a Billing Dispute under Section 3.6), in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have under this Services Agreement or by Law, Inscale reserves the right to cease providing any or all Services currently being performed or to be performed for Customer, without liability to Inscale for such suspension, and such Services shall only be resumed if Customer pays the full amount of such invoiced Fees (except for any disputed Fees then subject to a Billing Dispute under Section 3.6) are paid in full.

Billing Disputes. Any dispute involving invoiced Fees (a “Billing Dispute”) must be in writing and submitted to Inscale within thirty (30) days of the invoice date and include a reasonably detailed statement describing the nature and amount of the disputed Fees as well as the reasonable and good faith bases for why a credit or refund is being requested (a “Billing Dispute Notice”). Customer shall cooperate with Inscale to promptly address and attempt to resolve any Billing Dispute submitted in accordance herewith. Customer acknowledges and agrees that, in the event Customer does not submit a timely Billing Dispute Notice as required in this Section, Customer waives all rights to dispute such invoice and all Fees set forth in such invoice will be considered correct and binding on Customer.

Each Party shall be and remain fully liable and responsible for its Representatives’ unauthorized disclosure or use of the other Party’s Confidential Information. Each Party may confidentially disclose the terms of this Services Agreement to any actual or potential financing source or acquirer.

6 Representations, Warranties, Exclusive Remedies and Disclaimers.

Service Warranty. Inscale warrants that the Services shall be performed by qualified personnel in a professional manner, consistent with industry standards. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty will be for Inscale to promptly correct the defective Services at no cost or expense to Customer, which remedy shall apply and be available so long as Customer notifies Inscale in writing of any such breach within thirty (30) days of when such Services were provided by Inscale. Inscale does not otherwise warrant, expressly or implicitly, the results, performance, or quality of the Services or any Work Product provided under this Services Agreement or any SOW and Inscale has no obligation to provide any updates or upgrades for any Work Product.

a) Customer Cooperation and Responsibilities. (a) Customer agrees and acknowledges that Inscale is relying upon the timely availability of necessary Customer personnel as well as information (including, data, records, specifications, descriptions, and documentation) provided by Customer. As a result, the accuracy and results of the Services and provision of any Work Product are dependent upon the timeliness, accuracy, and completeness of the information furnished to Inscale by Customer and the timely availability of Customer’s employees, agents, and contractors. Inscale’s obligations to provide the Services are expressly conditioned upon Customer’s cooperation and timely: (i) performance of tasks, responsibilities, and reviews under the applicable SOW (including any project plans developed thereunder); (ii) provision of approvals and information (including data, records, specifications, descriptions, and documentation) under the SOW; (iii) access to Customer’s personnel, resources, facilities, and systems reasonably required for Inscale to perform the Services as well as Customer meeting all of its responsibilities as set forth in this Professional Services Agreement and any SOW; and (iv) licensing or procurement of any third party software and/or subscriptions needed by Customer in conjunction with Customer’s use of the Services and/or Inscale Subscription Services and are compatible with Inscale Subscription Services. Inscale is not responsible or liable for any third party software licensed and/or subscription purchased by Customer and Customer’s use of any such third party software and/or subscriptions is subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of any agreement entered into between Customer and the third party vendor (subsections (i), (ii), and (iii) above are collectively referred to as, “Customer Responsibilities”). Customer is also responsible for ensuring that Customer complies with all dates and deadlines set forth in any project plan. Any delays due to Customer’s failure to satisfy or comply with the Customer Responsibilities may result in delays in the provision of the Services (including the Work Product) and additional Fees. Customer shall be responsible for the content of all material, information, data, records, specifications, descriptions, and/or documentation provided by Customer to Inscale (collectively, the “Customer Data”). Customer shall not provide to Inscale any material, information, data, records, specifications, descriptions, and/or documentation that infringes, misappropriates, or violates the Intellectual Property Rights or privacy rights of any third party or is otherwise unlawful. Customer is also responsible for: (1) ensuring that all Customer data provided or made accessible to Inscale have been “cleaned” (i.e., gone through de-duplication; corrupted, outdated, and unrelated data have been removed; etc.); (2) providing Inscale with a backup data file or 24/7 remote access to a Customer computer contained the Customer data; and (3) if applicable and specified in a SOW, ensuring that Customer’s data are formatted in the Excel templates provided or made accessible by Inscale.

b)  Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is critical to the success of the provision of the Inscale Subscription Services and overall integrity of the project schedule that key project tasks have specific deadlines and durations to ensure the efficient and timely implementation of the Inscale Subscription Services. Accordingly, Customer will appoint a Project Manager who will be responsible for the timely coordination of internal resources necessary for managing the project to completion. The Project Manager will perform a variety of tasks including, without limitation: (i) co-developing, managing, and maintaining the project plan; (ii) promptly addressing and managing any issues and key decisions which arise; (iii) meeting agreed upon deadlines and promptly evaluating milestones; (iv) assigning responsibilities to Customer personnel and contractors (excluding Inscale); (v) ensuring that all resources to be provided by Customer are timely scheduled and available in order to ensure attendance and completion of tasks in a timely manner; and (vi) taking reasonable actions necessary to meet all dates and deadlines set forth in the project plan. The Project Manager will remain actively engaged throughout the duration of Inscale’s provision of professional services by actively participating, providing requested integration information, and otherwise completing all Customer obligations as set forth in any Order Form and/or SOW in a timely manner (“Cooperate”). Failure to Cooperate will result in the dismissal of assigned Inscale resources with no guarantee of resource continuity when project activity resumes. As a result, new resources may need to be onboarded at the expense of Customer.

c) If Customer does not meet any completion dates for deliverables and/or milestones, Inscale has the right to revisit and revise the project’s estimated costs, completion date, and approach to completing the project. Additionally, if any project delay is caused by Customer or any change in project scope, estimated level of effort, project timeline, and/or project resource commitments, Inscale has the right to increase its fees to reflect the additional services rendered as a result of Customer’s failure to perform any agreed upon task or meet any deadline.

d) If Customer notifies Inscale of a need to delay, reschedule, or cancel any professional services on less than three (3) business days prior written notice or if any professional services are delayed due to Customer not having performed its relevant responsibilities agreed upon with Inscale and/or as set forth in the project plan and/or any SOW or not having necessary personnel or contractors available for any meeting or task, Inscale may, in its sole discretion, charge, and Customer agrees to pay in a timely manner, a delay/rescheduling/cancellation fee of three hundred dollars ($300) plus the total amount of all expenses actually incurred and paid by Inscale arising from any such delay, rescheduling, or cancellation. The fee will also apply in any situation when: (i) any necessary Customer personnel fails to attend  any scheduled meeting, training session, and/or workshop; and (ii) Customer fails to vet the Inscale Subscription Services end to end (i.e., evaluating and testing all data, processes, forms, reports, etc.) and promptly report any issues or concerns with its ability to process transactions prior to going live. Customer will have up to ten (10) business days for reporting any implementation or performance issues after the go live date and, thereafter, any Customer issues will be addressed as part of Inscale’s customer support services as set forth in the Inscale Customer Support Policy.

e) Inscale’s timely performance of the professional services is conditioned on Customer continuing to Cooperate. If Customer fails to  Cooperate in a timely manner, Inscale will notify Customer and Inscale has the right to suspend its performance of the professional services. In such situation, the professional services will be deemed complete and Inscale’s personnel and resources may be assigned to other projects. Further, if Inscale suspends the professional services, (i) all prepaid or milestone-based  fees set forth in any Order Form and/or SOW shall become due and are deemed earned in full, and (ii) all unused time and materials fees set forth in any Order Form and/or SOW shall be voided.  Any and all services requested by Customer following such suspension will require Customer to send a written request to Inscale seeking re-engagement and execution of a new SOW. Upon execution of a new SOW, Inscale will promptly resume the professional services but Inscale cannot guarantee that the original resources will be re-assigned to the professional services and additional hours may be required.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INSCALE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE CONDITIONS AND/OR WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

7 Mutual Indemnification.

Indemnification by Inscale. Inscale shall defend and hold Customer, its officers, directors, employees and contractors harmless from and against any third party claims, demands, suits, or proceedings (“Claims”) against Customer arising out of or relating to (A) personal injury (including death) to any persons or damage to any tangible personal property (excluding any Customer Data) arising out of any negligent act, error, or omission of Inscale and/or any Inscale employee, agent, or contractor; or (B) any Work Product infringing a copyright, a U.S. patent issued as of the Effective Date, or a trademark of a third party, and shall pay all costs and damages finally awarded against Customer by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of any such Claim; provided, however, that Customer: (i) must give prompt written notice of the Claim to Inscale; (ii) gives Inscale sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (provided that Inscale may not settle any Claim or enter into any order or stipulated judgment that purports to bind Customer unless it unconditionally releases Customer of all liability); and (iii) provides to Inscale, at Inscale’s cost, all reasonable cooperation and assistance. If (a) Customer is enjoined from using the Work Product; or (b) the Work Product becomes, or Inscale believes the Work Product will likely become, the subject of an infringement Claim, Inscale shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) obtain for Customer the right to continue use of the affected Work Product; or (ii) replace or modify the affected Work Product so that it is no longer infringing. If, in Inscale’s sole reasonable discretion, neither of the foregoing options are reasonably available to or commercially feasible for Inscale, Inscale will request that Customer return and no longer use the affected Work Product and, upon Customer’s compliance with such request, Inscale’s sole liability will be to refund the Fees paid by Customer for the affected Services and/or Work Product. Inscale’s foregoing indemnification obligation shall not apply to any Claim based on or caused by: (v) any design specifications, requirements, documentation, materials, instructions, and/or directions prepared by Customer and/or provided to Inscale under these Services Terms or any SOW; (w) any Work Product or Services being modified by any party other than Inscale, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such modification; (x) any Work Product or Services being combined with other non-Inscale products, services, and/or processes not authorized by Inscale in writing, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such combination; (y) any unauthorized use of any of any Work Product or Services; (z) any third party deliverables or components not provided by Inscale that are contained within any Work Product or Services; or (f) Inscale’s use of any Customer Data in accordance with this Services Agreement.

Indemnification by Customer. Customer shall defend and hold Inscale, its officers, directors, employees and contractors harmless from and against any and all Claims against Inscale alleging that any Customer Data infringes the rights of, or have caused harm to, a third party or violates any Law, and shall pay all costs and damages finally awarded against Inscale by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of any such Claim; provided, however, that Inscale: (a) promptly gives written notice of the Claim to Customer; (b) gives Customer sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (provided that Customer may not settle any Claim or enter into any order or stipulated judgment that purports to bind Inscale unless it unconditionally releases Inscale of all liability); and (c) provides to Customer, at Customer’s cost, all reasonable cooperation and assistance.

8 Limitation of Liability.

Limitation of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO: (A) A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS; (B) A PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT; AND (C) CUSTOMER’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS SERVICES AGREEMENT AND ANY SOW, IN NO EVENT SHALL (I) EITHER PARTY OR ITS SUPPLIERS, AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, COVER, RELIANCE, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, HOWEVER CAUSED, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF BUSINESS, REVENUE, ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, PROFITS, USE, LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF ANY DATA AND/OR COST OF DATA RECONSTRUCTION, AND/OR PROCUREMENT OF ANY SUBSTITUTE OR REPLACEMENT GOODS, SERVICES, DATA, INVENTORY, OR EQUIPMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS SERVICES AGREEMENT, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGES; AND (II) EITHER PARTY’S ENTIRE AND MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS IN ANY MANNER RELATED TO THESE SERVICES TERMS AND/OR THE APPLICABLE SOW, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, EXCEED IN THE AGGREGATE, THE TOTAL FEES ACTUALLY PAID TO INSCALE BY CUSTOMER UNDER THE SOW WHICH GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS CUMULATIVE FOR ALL CLAIMS IN ANY MATTER RELATED TO THIS SERVICES AGREEMENT AND IS NOT PER INCIDENT.

Commencement of Actions; Mitigation of Damages. No Party may commence any action under these Services Terms or any SOW more than one (1) year after the occurrence of the breach or event giving rise to the claim for damages and/or indemnification. The claiming Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and avoid any damages.

9 Term; Termination.

SOWs. Unless otherwise provided in a SOW, the term of each SOW shall expire on the earlier of (a) the date of expiration of such SOW or cessation of such Services, as specified therein; or (b) Inscale’s completion of the Services described therein (the “Term”).

Applicability of these Services Terms. The term of these Services Terms commences as of the date these Services Terms are accepted by Customer in accordance with the terms herein and shall remain in effect and apply to each SOW executed by the Parties until all SOWs have expired or been terminated hereunder.

Termination.

Either Party may terminate a SOW or, at the election of the terminating Party, this Services Agreement (i) upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other Party of a material breach by the other Party if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such notice period; or (ii) immediately in the event the other Party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. In the event this Services Agreement is terminated, these Services Terms and all SOWs are simultaneously terminated. Notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in this Services Agreement, if any amounts owed by Customer (except for any Disputed Fees then in dispute under Section 3.6) are not fully-paid when due in accordance with Section 3, Customer shall be in material breach of this Services Agreement and, in addition to its other rights and remedies at law or in equity, Inscale may terminate this Services Agreement and cease providing all Services, effective immediately upon delivery of written notice to Customer.

If Customer terminates this Services Agreement or any SOW prior to the expiration of the applicable SOW Term for Inscale’s uncured breach, Customer shall be entitled to a refund of all pre-paid Fees for the Services paid for but not provided by Inscale beyond the effective date of termination. If, prior to the expiration of the applicable SOW Term, (i) Customer terminates this Services Agreement or any SOW before the completion of all Services purchased and such termination is not due to Inscale’s uncured breach; or (ii) Inscale terminates this Services Agreement or any SOW due to Customer’s uncured breach (collectively, a “Customer Early Termination”) and Customer has not already paid in advance the full amount of all Fees due under each SOW for the Services purchased by Customer, Customer shall pay Inscale an early termination charge equal to all Fees, including all applicable Taxes, set forth in each SOW which would otherwise be due through the end of the entire Term of such SOW (the “Early Termination Fee”). The Parties agree that the precise damages resulting from a Customer Early Termination are difficult to ascertain and the Early Termination Fee is a reasonable estimate of anticipated actual damages and not a penalty. Customer agrees and acknowledges that the Early Termination Fee shall apply even if Customer terminates this Services Agreement or any SOW prior to Inscale commencing performance of any Services under this Services Agreement. The Early Termination Fee shall be due and payable within ten (10) days of the effective date of termination and any prepaid Fees will be applied towards the amount of the Early Termination Fee.

10 Modifications and Amendments to Services Terms.

Modifications and Amendments. Inscale may, at any time and in its sole discretion, amend these Services Terms (posted at www.avsight.net/legal) if any such amendment(s) does not adversely and materially affect the level or quality of Services provided or to be provided by Inscale to Customer or change the rates quoted in any SOW. The revised Services Terms will become effective as to Customer on the earlier of (a) the first day after Customer and Inscale sign a new SOW that incorporates the revised version of the Services Terms by reference; or (b) thirty (30) days following Inscale’s written notice to Customer that a revised version of the Services Terms has been posted at www.avsight.net/legal.

Customer’s Rights. If Customer’s compliance with the revised or amended version of the Services Terms would materially or adversely affect Customer’s use of the Services or any Work Product provided under a SOW and Customer gives written notice of its objection to the revised Services Terms no later than ten (10) business days following the date that the revised Services Terms would otherwise have become effective as to Customer, Inscale will not enforce the revision(s) to such Services Terms as to Customer until thirty (30) days following the date the revision(s) would otherwise have become effective as to Customer and Customer will continue to be subject to the prior version of the Services Terms. During the thirty (30) day period, Customer may elect to terminate the SOW on these grounds by giving written notice to Inscale, which must be received by Inscale during such thirty (30) day period or such termination right shall be deemed to be waived by Customer. Inscale will not charge Customer an early termination fee for a termination on these grounds. If Customer does not elect to terminate the SOW during the thirty (30) day period, then the revised version of the Services Terms will become effective as to Customer and apply to the SOW (and all other SOWs) as of the end of the thirty (30) day period. If Customer elects to terminate the SOW in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.2, Inscale, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive application of the revised Services Terms as to Customer and continue to apply, for the remainder of the term of the SOW, the version of the Services Terms that was in effect prior to the date that the revised version of the Services Terms was posted at www.avsight.net/legal.

11 General Provisions.

Export Compliance. The Services and other technology Inscale makes available, and derivatives thereof, may be subject to export laws and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions. Each Party represents that it is not named on any U.S. government denied-party list. Customer shall not permit Users to access or use any of the Services in any U.S. embargoed country or in violation of any U.S. export law or regulation.

Employee Solicitation. While this Services Agreement is in effect and for one (1) year thereafter, Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or engage (whether as an employee, independent contractor or consultant) any Inscale employee or subcontractor who was involved in providing any Services. An employee’s or subcontractor’s response to a general, non-targeted advertisement for employment shall not be deemed solicitation for the purposes of this Services Agreement.

Survival. All provisions survive termination or expiration of this Services Agreement except those requiring performance only during the term of this Services Agreement and/or a SOW, as applicable.

No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Services Agreement does not create any right enforceable by any person or entity that is not a party hereto.

Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence. This Services Agreement along with all SOWs executed by the Parties, is the entire agreement between Customer and Inscale regarding the Services and supersedes and merges all prior and contemporaneous, written or oral, agreements, understandings, proposals, marketing materials and representations concerning its subject matter and the Services and there are no representations, understandings, or agreements that are not fully expressed. Except as otherwise provided herein, no modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Services Agreement or any SOW will be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by the Party against whom the modification, amendment or waiver is to be asserted. The Parties agree that any term or condition stated in any Customer purchase order or in any of Customer’s other order documentation (excluding any SOW) is void. Headings contained in this Services Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not in any way define or affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Services Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the following documents, the following order of precedence shall be: (a) these Services Terms; and (b) the applicable SOW (unless and to the extent expressly stated therein that a specified term therein shall take priority over an analogous or conflicting term in these Services Terms).

Assignment. Neither Party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the other Party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, either Party may assign this Services Agreement in its entirety together with all SOWs, without the other Party’s consent to its Affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of its assets provided that the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by all the terms of this Services Agreement (including all SOWs) and, in the case of an assignment by Customer, all past due Fees (except for any disputed Fees then subject to a Billing Dispute under Section 3.6) are paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party is acquired by, sells substantially all of its assets to, or undergoes a change of control in favor of, a direct competitor of the other Party, then such other Party may terminate this Services Agreement upon written notice. In the event of such a termination, Inscale will refund to Customer any prepaid Fees for the Services allocable to the remainder of the Term for the period after the effective date of such termination. Subject to the foregoing, this Services Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Relationship of the Parties. The Parties are independent contractors. This Services Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between the Parties. There are no third party beneficiaries under this Services Agreement.

Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform hereunder (excluding payment obligations) due to circumstances beyond such Party’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, epidemic or pandemic, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems (excluding those involving such Party’s employees or contractors), service disruptions involving hardware, software or power systems not within such Party’s possession or reasonable control, and denial of service attacks.

Waiver. No failure or delay by either Party in exercising or enforcing any right, remedy, or obligation under this Services Agreement or SOW will constitute a waiver of that right, remedy, or obligation or any other right. Any waiver of any right, remedy, or obligation under this Services Agreement or any SOW must be in writing and signed by each Party.  A waiver on one occasion shall not be construed as a waiver of any right, remedy, or obligation on any future occasion. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Services Agreement, the remedies provided herein are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other remedies of a Party at law or in equity.

Governing Law; Venue. This Services Agreement and any claim, controversy, right, obligation, or dispute arising under or related to this Services Agreement (including any SOW), the relationship of the Parties, and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights, performance obligations, and duties of the Parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflicts of laws principles. The Parties irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts in Delaware, USA. The Parties waive any right to jury trial in connection with any action or litigation in any way arising out of or related to this Services Agreement or any SOW.

Notice. Unless otherwise provided in this Services Agreement, all notices (except for routine business communications, e.g., scheduling of meetings or calls; requests for information; status reports, etc.) shall be in writing and sent via certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight courier service. Notices to Inscale shall be addressed to the Chief
Executive Officer, with a copy to the Vice President of Finance,   Notices sent to Inscale must be sent to its principal place of business identified below and sent to the attention of Chief Executive Officer at Inscale Technologies, Inc., 1544 Blowing Rock Road, Suite # 3716, Boone, NC 28607 (with a copy sent to Vice President of Finance at the same address). Notices to Customer may be sent to the contact information for Customer provided in the applicable SOW.

Severability. If any provision of Services Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to Law, the provision will be deemed null and void, and the remaining provisions of this Services Agreement will remain in effect.

Subcontractors. Inscale may use the services of subcontractors for the performance or provision of any Services or Work Product under any SOW, provided that Inscale remains responsible for the (a) compliance by any such subcontractor with the terms of this Services Agreement; and (b) overall performance of the Services.

Version 101723

MASTER SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

THIS MASTER SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (“MSA”) GOVERNS THE SERVICES (AS DEFINED BELOW) TO BE PROVIDED BY INSCALE TECHNOLOGIES, LLC (“INSCALE”), AND/OR ITS SUPPLIERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND/OR LICENSORS (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS “SUPPLIERS”) TO COMPANY OR ENTITY (“CUSTOMER”) THAT EXECUTES AN ORDER FORM (AS DEFINED BELOW). BY EXECUTING AN ORDER FORM, CUSTOMER IS ACCEPTING AND AGREEING TO THIS MSA AND THE TERMS OF SUCH ORDER FORM WHICH, UPON EXECUTION BY CUSTOMER, BECOMES PART OF AND SUBJECT TO THIS MSA. EACH ORDER FORM EXECUTED BY CUSTOMER SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE SPECIFIED THEREIN OR, IF NO EFFECTIVE DATE IS SPECIFIED, THE DATE CUSTOMER EXECUTES THE ORDER FORM. INSCALE AND CUSTOMER MAY BE REFERRED TO INDIVIDUALLY AS A “PARTY” AND, COLLECTIVELY, AS THE “PARTIES”.

 

Customer and Inscale (each may be referred to individually as a “Party” and, jointly, as the “Parties”) hereby agree as follows:

 

1.SCOPE

 

Terms and Conditions. The terms and conditions of this MSA apply to the software-as-a-service services provided by Inscale (the “Services”) as set forth and described in an order form or other ordering document issued by Inscale (including any online forms) that specify the Services to be provided hereunder and the applicable fees (each an “Order Form”). Services are made available utilizing the Saleforce.com (“SFDC”) online hosting platform and related services (“SFDC Services”), but the Services terms and conditions set forth in this MSA are specific to Inscale’s Services and exclude non-Inscale applications and SFDC Services, unless otherwise stated herein.

 

2.SERVICES

 

2.1 SFDC Services. This MSA is between Inscale and Customer. Customer acknowledges that Services are hosted for Inscale by SFDC and are also integrated as part of and are interoperable with the SFDC Services. By agreeing to the terms of this MSA, Customer accepts and agrees to abide by the SFDC terms of use in the SFDC User Guide accessible via login at http://www.salesforce.com, as may be updated from time to time. However, to the extent SFDC and Customer have entered into a valid agreement for the SFDC Services, the terms of such agreement shall govern Customer’s use of and access to such SFDC Services in connection with Customer’s use of the Services. Separate licensing terms may also apply for Customer’s use of the SFDC Services as made available to Customer by SFDC. Notwithstanding any other provision of this MSA, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Inscale shall not be responsible or liable for any such SFDC Services or for the acts, errors, omissions, or negligence of SFDC or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of this MSA,  “Affiliate” means an entity that owns or controls, is owned or controlled by, or is under common control or ownership with a Party, where “control” is the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.

 

2.2 Integration with Non-Inscale Applications. The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with non-Inscale applications. To use such features, Customer may be required to obtain access to such non-Inscale applications from their providers and comply with such providers’ applicable terms of use. If the provider of any such non-Inscale application ceases to make the non-Inscale application available for interoperation with the corresponding Inscale Services features on reasonable terms, Customer’s use of such Inscale Services features might cease without entitling Customer to any refund, credit, or other compensation. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Inscale shall not be responsible or liable for any such non-Inscale applications or for the acts, errors, omissions, or negligence of any provider of any non-Inscale application.

 

2.3 User Subscriptions. Inscale will make the Services available pursuant to the terms of this MSA and each Order Form during the applicable subscription term to each individual employee, consultant, contractor,  and/or agent who is authorized by Customer to access and/or use the Services during the applicable subscription term (each, a “User”) and subject to the usage restrictions, limits, and/or conditions set forth in this MSA as well as the applicable Order Form. If the Services will be made available to any Customer Affiliate pursuant to this MSA or any Order Form, then the term “Customer” shall also include any such Customer Affiliate. Customer shall be responsible for each of its, and its Affiliate’s, User’s use of the Services. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, (i) Services are purchased as User subscriptions and may be accessed by no more than the specified number of Users as set forth in the applicable Order form; (ii) Customer shall have the right to add additional User subscriptions during the applicable subscription term; provided, however, that the fee for any additional User subscription shall be at Inscale’s current subscription rate in effect on the date that any such additional User is added (and might result in a rate increase for any such additional User subscriptions), prorated for the remainder of the subscription term in effect at the time the additional User subscriptions are added; and (iii) the additional User subscriptions shall terminate on the same date as the pre-existing subscriptions. User subscriptions are for designated Users only and cannot be shared or used by more than one User but may be reassigned to new Users replacing former Users who no longer require ongoing access or use of the Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Customer shall have the right to allow others to indirectly access the Services (including through integrations or APIs), provided, that all such access in the aggregate with respect to a particular security access level shall require a single integration User license.

 

2.4 Usage Limitations. Customer’s usage must comply with the Salesforce Master Subscription Agreement posted at https://www.salesforce.com/content/dam/web/en_us/www/documents/legal/salesforce MSA.pdf in addition to this MSA. In the event of any conflict between these documents as to Salesforce’s responsibilities, rights, and liabilities, the terms of the Salesforce’s Master Subscription Agreement shall apply and prevail. Usage limitations imposed by SFDC may affect the use of Inscale’s application. The Services may be subject to other limitations imposed by SFDC (e.g., limits on disk storage space, on the number of calls Customer is permitted to make against the Inscale application programming interface, and, for Services that enable Customer to provide public websites, on the number of page views by visitors to those websites). Any such limitations are specified in the SFDC User Guide. The Services provide real-time information to enable Customer to monitor compliance with such limitations.

 

  1. ACCESS TO INSCALE SERVICES

 

3.1 Right to Use Inscale Services. Inscale grants Customer, subject to the terms and conditions of this MSA, a non-assignable, non-transferable (except as explicitly provided in this MSA), non-exclusive right to permit Customer’s Authorized Users to access and use the Inscale Services solely for Customer’s internal business purposes, subject to any specific usage restrictions set forth in the applicable Order.

 

3.2 Customer Support. Inscale will provide the Services in accordance with the Customer Support Policy attached hereto as Schedule 1 and incorporated herein. Customer’s purchase of the Services is neither contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or feature nor dependent on any oral or written public comment made by Inscale regarding future functionality and/or features.

 

3.3 Data Protection. Inscale will maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed for the protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Customer Data, including measures designed to prevent unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure of Customer Data by Inscale personnel, except (i) as required to provide the Inscale Services and prevent or address service or technical problems, or (ii) as compelled by law. For purposes of this MSA, “Customer Data” means all electronic data or information submitted by Customer to be stored or processed in the Inscale software platform. After becoming aware of a security breach, Inscale will promptly (a) notify Customer of the security breach; (b) investigate the security breach, and (c) make commercially reasonable efforts to prevent a recurrence of the security breach. Inscale agrees to cooperate in Customer’s handling of the matter by: (i) providing reasonable assistance with Customer’s investigation, and (ii) making available to Customer relevant records, logs, files, data reporting, and other materials related to the security breach, if required to comply with an applicable data protection law.

4.2 Customer Responsibilities Obligations; Grant Restrictions. (1) Customer shall not: (a) modify, copy, or create any derivative works based on the Services or frame or mirror any part or content of the Services, other than copying or framing for Customer own internal business purposes; (b) license, sublicense, sell, resell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, time share, offer in a service bureau, or otherwise make the Services available to any third party, other than to Users as permitted herein; (c) disassemble, reverse engineer, or decompile any portion of the Services, including any software utilized by Inscale in the provision of the Services, except to the extent required by applicable law; (d) access the Services if it (or any Affiliate) is a direct competitor of Inscale or in order to build any competitive or commercially available product or service or for purposes of monitoring the availability, performance, or functionality of the Services, or for any other benchmarking or competitive purposes; (e) copy any features, functions, integrations, interfaces or graphics of the Services; (f) use the Services in violation of any law, regulation, or outside the scope of the rights granted in this MSA; (g) in connection with the Services, upload, send, or store any material that (i) infringes or misappropriates any intellectual property right of Inscale, Inscale’s licensors or suppliers, or any third party, or is (ii) obscene, threatening, or otherwise unlawful or tortious or violates any law, regulation, or any party’s rights, including any privacy, publicity, import and export control, data protection, electronic communications, or anti-spamming laws or rights; (h) send or store any viruses, worms, time bombs, Trojan horses and other harmful or malicious code, files, scripts, agents, or programs (“Malicious Code”) in or in connection with the Services; (i) interfere with or disrupt performance of the Services or the data contained therein; or (j) attempt to gain access to the Services or its related systems or networks in a manner not set forth in the Documentation related to such Services. Customer shall have sole responsibility for the collection, accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, appropriateness, legal protection, and use rights of all Customer Data. Access to the Services is password-controlled and Customer is responsible for, and will implement and use industry-standard measures to, (x) maintain the security of User passwords and instruct its Users as to the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of passwords and/or User identifications; (y) prevent unauthorized access to and/or use of the Services, and notify Inscale promptly in writing of any unauthorized access and/or use; and (z) use the Services only in accordance with the SFDC User Guide and applicable laws and government regulations. Customer will cause its Affiliates (and such Affiliates’ Users) to comply with the provisions of this MSA and shall be responsible and liable for the acts, errors, omissions and negligence of all Users and Affiliates relating to the access to and use of the Services. Customer further agrees to comply with the terms of service of any non-Inscale application, including, without limitation, to any software, applications, or services, with which Customer uses the Services.

 

(2)  Customer is solely responsible for procuring and maintaining its network connections and telecommunications links from its systems to the Services, and maintaining the security of its equipment and account access passwords. The Services are subject to per User data and file storage limits established by SFDC. Customer has the right to purchase additional data and file storage capacity. If Customer exceeds the applicable number and/or type of authorized Users and/or the Customer Data exceeds the data and/or file storage limits as set forth in the applicable Order Form, Customer will pay Inscale’s then-current fees for such overage up to that point. Thereafter, Inscale may either (a) to the extent applicable, require Customer to either bring its usage within the limits of such restrictions, or (b) increase Customer’s permitted number of authorized Users or data and/or file storage capacity, as applicable (subject to continued payment of such fees for such overage).

 

4.3 Collection of Customer Data. Customer agrees and acknowledges that the collection of Customer Data is the sole and exclusive responsibility of Customer. Customer agrees and acknowledges that Inscale is not responsible in any way for any intellectual property infringement or the violation of any third party’s rights or laws, including, without limitation, any infringement or misappropriation of copyright, trademark, trade secret, or any other intellectual property right of any person or entity, arising from or relating to any Customer Data. In relation to all Personal Data comprised within the Customer Data, Customer warrants that such personal data shall have been obtained and supplied to Inscale in compliance with applicable laws, including, without limitation, any applicable data protection and/or privacy laws and Customer warrants that it has obtained all necessary consents and approvals from users that are necessary to permit Inscale to provide the Services to Customer and any of its Affiliates under this MSA. Customer further agrees to not use the Inscale Services to store, process, or transmit any Personal Data and Inscale disclaims responsibility for any Personal Data.  “Personal Data” means any non-public information and/or data that can be used, alone or in combination with other data, to identify any individual person. Personal Data includes, without limitation, a person’s  home address, date of birth, social security number, home or personal telephone numbers, credit card or debit card information (with or without any required security code), driver’s license number or unique number contained in any other government-issued identification document, bank account number or any password that would permit access to any individual’s financial account, mother’s maiden name and any other information used to authenticate identity, biometric records, Personal Health Information (as that term is defined and/or used in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act) or any other medical information, education information, any passport and/or visa number, passwords, financial information, and/or any employment information.

 

  1. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

 

5.1 Inscale Services. This is an agreement for use of Inscale’s Services and not an agreement for the sale or license of any software including any third party software. Subject to the limited rights expressly granted to Customer under this MSA, Inscale reserves all right, title and interest in and to the Services and all modifications and improvements thereto, plus all related intellectual property rights. Except as expressly stated in this MSA, this MSA does not grant Customer any rights to, or in, any patent, copyright, database right, trade secret, trade name, trademark (whether registered or unregistered), or any other rights or licenses in respect of the Services.

 

5.2 Customer Data. Customer reserves all right, title and interest in and to the Customer Data and, subject to the limited rights granted by Customer under this MSA, Inscale acquires no right, title or interest from Customer under this MSA in or to any Customer Data or any other intellectual property rights therein. Customer grants Inscale a limited license to access, copy, transmit, display, and modify such Customer Data, solely as necessary for Inscale to provide Services to Customer under this MSA and any Order Form.

 

5.3 Suggestions. Customer grants to Inscale a royalty-free, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual license to use and incorporate into the Services any suggestion, enhancement request, recommendation, correction, and/or any other feedback provided by Customer or any User relating to the Services.

 

5.4 Customer Applications and Code. If Customer, a third party acting on Customer’s behalf, or a User creates applications or program code using the Services, Customer authorizes Inscale to host, copy, transmit, display, and/or adapt such applications and program code, solely as necessary for Inscale to provide the Services in accordance with this MSA. Subject to the above, Inscale acquires no right, title or interest from Customer or Customer licensors under this MSA in or to such applications or program code, including any intellectual property rights therein.

 

6.FEES AND BILLING

 

6.1 Fees. (i) User subscription fees are based on services purchased and not actual usage, (ii) payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, and (iii) the number of User subscriptions purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term stated on the Order (provided, that Customer may decrease the number of User subscriptions for the next subscription term by providing written notice to Inscale at least sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of such subscription term).

 

6.2 Payment. All fees for the professional services and Services ordered by Customer shall be pursuant to an executed Order Form and all fees are quoted and payable in United States dollars. All fees are based on the Services ordered by Customer in any Order Form and not actual usage. Except as otherwise set forth in this MSA, all payment obligations are non-cancelable, fees paid are non-refundable, and quantities ordered cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term.

 

6.3 Invoicing. (a) Customer will provide Inscale with valid and updated credit card information, or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to Inscale. Upon Customer providing credit card information, Customer authorizes Inscale to charge such credit card for all professional services and Services listed in the Order Form for the initial subscription term and any renewal subscription term(s) and agrees to pay a three percent (3%) surcharge for payment by  credit card. Such charges shall be paid in advance, either annually or in accordance with a different billing frequency as stated in the applicable Order Form. If the Order Form specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, Inscale will invoice Customer in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form. If Customer has five (5) or less Users, payment by credit card or ACH is required. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, invoiced charges are due upon receipt. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Inscale and notifying Inscale of any changes to such information. (b) If any charges are not received from Customer by the due date, at Inscale’s discretion, (i) such charges may accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, from the date such payment was due until the date paid, and/or (ii) Inscale may condition future subscription renewals and Order Forms on payment terms shorter than those specified in the MSA.

 

6.4 Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owing by Customer under this MSA or any Order Form is thirty (30) or more days overdue (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts Customer has authorized Inscale to charge to Customer’s credit card), Inscale may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, accelerate Customer unpaid fee obligations under the MSA and any Order Form so that all such payment obligations become immediately due and payable and/or suspend the Services to Customer until all such amounts are paid in full. Inscale will give Customer at least five (5) days’ prior written notice (which written notice may be by email) that Customer’s account is overdue, before suspending services to Customer.

 

6.5 Payment Disputes. Any dispute involving any invoiced fees (a “Billing Dispute”) must be in writing and submitted in good faith to the Inscale within thirty (30) days of the invoice date and include a reasonably detailed statement describing the nature and amount of the disputed fees as well as the reasonable and good faith basis for why a credit or refund is being requested (a “Billing Dispute Notice”). Customer shall cooperate with the Inscale to promptly address and attempt to resolve any Billing Dispute submitted by Customer. Customer acknowledges and agrees that, if Customer does not submit a Billing Dispute Notice in compliance with this Section, Customer waives all rights to dispute such invoice and all fees set forth in such invoice will be considered correct and binding on Customer. Notwithstanding any Billing Dispute commenced in accordance with this Section, Customer shall remain obligated to pay in a timely manner all undisputed Fees within thirty (30) days of the invoice date or as otherwise applicable.

 

6.6 Taxes. All fees do not include any taxes. Customer is responsible for paying all taxes associated with the purchases of any Services. If Inscale has the obligation to pay or collect any taxes for which Customer is responsible, then the appropriate amount shall be included in the invoice and Customer agrees to pay such amount in a timely manner. For clarity, Inscale is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property, and employees.

Customer represents and warrants that Customer will not install or use the Services and/or any third party software for any such purposes.

 

7.5 Exclusive Remedies. As Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and Inscale’s sole and exclusive liability for breach of any warranty set forth in this Section, (i) Inscale shall correct the material deficiency of the affected Services at no additional charge to Customer; and (ii) if Inscale is unable to correct the material deficiency of the affected Services after its good faith efforts, Inscale shall, in its discretion, either refund to Customer a pro-rata portion of the amounts of any prepaid fees attributable to the materially deficient Services from the date Inscale received such written notice from Customer or extend the subscription term then in effect for a period of time equal to the time period that the materially deficient Services were provided by Inscale. To receive any warranty remedies, Customer must promptly report any deficiency in writing to Inscale, but no later than ten (10) business days after the deficiency has first occurred.

 

7.6 Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AND EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE (INCLUDING NON-INFRINGEMENT), AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM STATUTE, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT FOR THE ACT, ERROR, NEGLIGENCE, OR OMISSION OF A USER, EACH PARTY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS FOR ANY HARM OR DAMAGES CAUSED BY ANY THIRD PARTY. INSCALE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE ERROR FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED AND INSCALE SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LIMITATIONS, DISRUPTIONS, DELAYS, AND/OR OTHER PROBLEMS INHERENT IN THE USE OF THE INTERNET AND/OR ANY ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Inscale and its Suppliers make no warranties with respect to any portion of any deliverable or any third party software, deliverable, products, and/or services.

 

7.7 Non-Inscale Services. From time to time Inscale may invite Customer to try, at no charge, products or services that are not generally available to Inscale customers (“Non-Inscale Services”). Customer may accept or decline any such trial in Customer’s sole discretion. Any Non-Inscale Services will be clearly designated as beta, pilot, limited release, developer preview, non-production or by a description of similar import. Non-Inscale Services are provided solely for evaluation purposes and not for production use, are not supported, may contain bugs or errors, and may be subject to additional terms. NON-INSCALE SERVICES ARE NOT CONSIDERED “SERVICES” HEREUNDER AND ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY. Inscale may discontinue Non-Inscale Services at any time in its sole discretion and may never make them generally or commercially available.

 

8.INDEMNIFICATION

 

8.1 Indemnification by Inscale. Inscale shall defend Customer against any claim, demand, suit, or proceeding made or brought against Customer by a third party alleging that the use of the Services as permitted hereunder and in accordance with this MSA infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of a third party (a “Claim Against Customer”), and shall indemnify Customer for any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Customer as a result of, and for amounts paid by Customer under a settlement of, a Claim Against Customer; provided that Customer: (a) promptly gives Inscale written notice of the Claim Against Customer; (b) gives Inscale sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against Customer (provided that Inscale may not settle any Claim Against Customer unless the settlement unconditionally releases Customer of all liability); and (c) provides to Inscale all reasonable assistance, at Inscale’s expense. In the event of a Claim Against Customer, or if Inscale reasonably believes the Services may infringe or misappropriate any third party’s intellectual property rights, Inscale may, in its discretion and at no cost to Customer (i) modify the Services so that they no longer infringe or misappropriate any third party’s intellectual property, without breaching Inscale warranties under “Inscale Warranties” above, (ii) obtain a license for Customer’s continued use of the Services in accordance with this MSA, or (iii) upon prior written notice, terminate Customer’s subscriptions to and use of the Services and, upon such termination, refund to Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of the User subscriptions for the Services after the effective date of termination, except that SFDC fees are non-refundable. Inscale shall not be required to indemnify Customer in the event of: (1) modification of any portion of the Services in any manner by Customer, its employee, agent, contractor, or any User or as a result of any prohibited activity as set forth herein; (2) use of the Services in violation of this MSA, in any unauthorized manner, or in any manner inconsistent with the applicable documentation; (3) use of any Services in combination with any other product, service, and/or software not provided by Inscale or approved, and/or specified by Inscale in writing prior to such combined use; or (4) any infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property right arising from or related to the access to and/or use of any non-Inscale-provided third party software.

 

8.2 Indemnification by Customer. Customer shall defend Inscale against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against Inscale by a third party alleging that any Customer Data, or Customer’s use of the Services in breach of this MSA, infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of a third party or violates any applicable law (a “Claim Against Inscale”), and shall indemnify Inscale for any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Inscale as a result of, or for any amounts paid by Inscale under a settlement of, a Claim Against Inscale; provided that Inscale: (a) promptly give Customer written notice of the Claim Against Inscale; (b) give Customer sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against Inscale (provided that Customer may not settle any Claim Against Inscale unless the settlement unconditionally releases Inscale of all liability); and (c) provide to Customer all reasonable assistance, at Customer expense.

10.CONFIDENTIALITY

 

10.1 Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all non-public information disclosed by a Party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (“Receiving Party”), whether verbally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and/or the circumstances of disclosure. Customer Confidential Information includes Customer Data; Inscale Confidential Information includes the Services (including all documentation), information contained in any design documentation relating to any Inscale software programs including any source code, development level documentation, all Inscale development tools (except for publicly available tools), data files, databases, marketing plans, supplier and customer information; and Confidential Information of each Party includes the terms and conditions of any Order Form (including pricing), as well as business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed or made accessible by such Party. Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (iii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without access to or reliance on the Disclosing Party’s information.

 

10.2 Protection. The 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 Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this MSA or any Order Form; 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 any of its Affiliate’s employees, officers, advisors, contractors, and third parties (collectively, “Representatives”) who need access for purposes consistent with this MSA and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections, or have ethical duties to the Receiving Party, not materially less protective of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information than those set forth in this MSA. Each Party shall be and remain fully liable and responsible for any of its Representative’s unauthorized disclosure, access to, and/or use of the other Party’s Confidential Information. Each Party may confidentially disclose the terms of this MSA (including any Order Form) to any actual or potential financing source or acquirer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Inscale may disclose the terms of this MSA and any applicable Order Form to a subcontractor to the extent necessary to perform or satisfy Inscale’s obligations to Customer under this MSA and/or any Order Form, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth in this MSA.

 

10.3 Misuse of Confidential Information. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Services contain proprietary information and trade secrets of Inscale and its Suppliers. Customer will not use any Confidential Information or know how that it gains through use or study of the Services to facilitate Customer’s or any third party’s development of any services or products that would compete with the Services provided by Inscale. Subject to Inscale’s confidentiality obligations, Inscale reserves the right to develop and market any technology, products, and/or services or pursue business opportunities that compete with and/or are similar to those of Customer.

 

10.4 Compelled Disclosure; Retention. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law or regulation to do so, provided that, to the extent legally permissible, the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior written notice of the compelled disclosure and, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, reasonable assistance if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure or limit the extent of the disclosure through a protective order or other legal measure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Receiving Party may retain such copies of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as are reasonably necessary: (1) to comply with any laws or regulations applicable to Receiving Party or to comply with the Receiving Party’s document retention policies; and/or (2) for the purposes of defending or maintaining litigation; and (ii) in no event shall this MSA require the alteration, modification, deletion, or destruction of back-up tapes, archived data storage, or other media made in the ordinary course of business provided that the terms and conditions of this MSA shall apply to the Receiving Party’s retention of any of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and survive the termination or expiration of this MSA for any reason.

 

10.5 Injunctive Relief. The Receiving Party acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information may cause substantial harm to the Disclosing Party for which damages alone might not be a sufficient remedy and, therefore, that upon any such actual or threatened disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief, without the necessity of proving actual harm or posting bond, in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law or in equity.

 

10.6 Independent Development; Residuals. Nothing in the terms of this MSA shall be construed to limit Inscale’s or Customer’s right to independently develop or acquire products without the use of the other party’s Confidential Information.

 

  1. TERM AND TERMINATION

 

11.1 Term of this MSA. This MSA commences on the date Customer first executes an Order Form and continues until all User subscriptions granted in accordance with this MSA and all Order Forms have expired or been terminated. If Customer elects to use the Services for a free trial period and does not purchase a subscription before the end of that period, this MSA will terminate at the end of the free trial period.

 

11.2 Termination. This MSA may be terminated by Inscale immediately upon written notice in the event Customer fails to pay any invoice in accordance with Customer’s payment obligation as set forth in this MSA or any Order Form. A Party may terminate this MSA for cause: (i) upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other Party of a material breach if such material breach remains uncured at the expiration of such thirty (30) day time period, or (ii) if the other Party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors.

 

11.3 Term of Purchased User Subscriptions. User subscriptions purchased by Customer commence on the start date specified in the applicable Order Form and continue for the subscription term specified therein. Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, all User subscriptions shall automatically renew for additional periods equal to the original term of the expiring subscription term or one year (whichever is longer), unless either Party gives the other written notice of non-renewal at least third (30) days before the expiration of the relevant subscription term then in effect. The per-unit pricing during any such renewal term shall be the same as that during the prior term unless Inscale has given Customer written notice of a pricing increase at least 30 days before the end of such prior term, in which case the pricing increase shall be effective upon renewal and thereafter.

 

11.4 Effect of Termination. Upon any termination for by Customer due to Inscale’s uncured material breach, Inscale shall refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all subscriptions after the effective date of termination, except that subscription fees prepaid to SFDC are non-refundable. If, prior to the expiration of any subscription term then in effect for any Order Form, (i) Customer terminates this MSA or any Order Form and such termination is not due to Inscale’s uncured breach; or (ii) Inscale terminates this MSA or any Order Form due to Customer’s uncured breach (collectively, an “Early Termination”) and Customer has not already paid in advance the full amount of all fees due for the entire subscription term then in effect under the Order Form(s) being terminated, Customer shall promptly pay to Inscale an early termination charge equal to all fees, including all applicable taxes, set forth in each Order Form being terminated which would otherwise be due through the end of the entire subscription term then in effect under such Order Form(s) (the “Early Termination Fee”). The Parties agree that the precise damages resulting from an Early Termination are difficult to ascertain and the Early Termination Fee is a reasonable estimate of anticipated actual direct damages and not a penalty. Customer agrees and acknowledges that the Early Termination Fee shall apply even if Customer terminates this MSA and/or any Order Form prior to commencement of Customer’s access to or use of the Services. The Early Termination Fee shall be due and payable to Inscale within ten (10) business days of the effective date of termination and any applicable prepaid fees will be applied towards the amount of the Early Termination Fee to be paid by Customer.

 

11.5 Return of Customer Data. Upon written request by Customer made within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination of a subscription term, Inscale will make available to Customer for download a file of Customer Data in comma separated value (.csv) format along with attachments in their native format. If Customer requires Inscale’s assistance, Customer may purchase professional services from Inscale at Inscale’s then-current billing rate pursuant to a written Order Form or Statement of Work entered into between the Parties. After the expiration of such 30-day period, Inscale shall have no obligation to maintain or provide access to any of Customer Data and shall thereafter, unless legally prohibited, have the right to delete all of Customer Data in Inscale systems or otherwise in Inscale’s possession or control.

 

11.6 Survival. All Sections of this MSA specified as surviving shall survive any expiration or termination of this MSA for any reason. Sections 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7.5, 7.6, and 8 through and including 12 shall survive the expiration or termination of this MSA for any reason.

Except as otherwise provided in this MSA, no provision of this MSA (including any Order Form) may be amended, modified, superseded, or terminated, or any term or condition waived, unless the Parties agree in writing, signed by a duly authorized representative of each Party. The Parties agree that any term or condition stated in any Customer purchase order or any other Customer ordering documentation is inapplicable and void.

Any waiver of any right, remedy, or obligation under this MSA must be in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of each Party. A waiver on one occasion shall not be construed as a waiver of any obligation, right, or remedy on any future occasion. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this MSA, the remedies provided herein are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other rights and/or remedies of a Party at law or in equity.

 

12.6 Governing Law. This MSA shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflict of laws that would require application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS MSA OR ANY ORDER FORM.
