2. Fees and Payment


(a) Election and Fees.

(i) The fees for the Services are set forth on the Affiniv pricing page ("Pricing Page") or on an executed Order Form or Statement of Work between you and Affiniv, each of which is incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. Fees for the Services may be payable in advance, in arrears, per user, or as otherwise described on the Pricing Page or on an executed Order Form or Statement of Work between us. You agree to pay Affiniv the fees indicated for the Services you purchase and for the indicated term ("Subscription Term") and for any other fees set forth on an executed Order Form or Statement of Work between us. Stated fees do not include any related taxes (including sales and use taxes, duties or other governmental taxes or fees), all of which are your responsibility and will be charged to your Payment Method in addition to the fees.

(ii) Fees for subscription-based Services will be invoiced to you or charged to your Payment Method on the day your Services plan selection goes into effect and will cover fees for your Services plan selection for the payment period indicated. Fees for other Services will be charged according to the applicable Pricing Page, Order Form or Statement of Work. At the end of the indicated Subscription Term for subscription-based Services, and unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Order Form or Statement of Work, your purchased Services will automatically renew for successive renewal Subscription Terms of equal length to the initial Subscription Term and the applicable fees will continue to be invoiced to you or charged to your Payment Method on a recurring basis until you change your Services plan selection or terminate this Agreement. The amount of the charge for each renewal Subscription Term will be the then-current fee applicable to the Services plan and Subscription Term you selected as set forth on the Pricing Page or otherwise communicated to you. You acknowledge that the amount of the charge may increase if the applicable fee increases. If applicable, you hereby authorize Affiniv to charge your Payment Method for such recurring charges

(iii) You may upgrade, downgrade or terminate your Subscription Services plan selection at any time. Plan downgrades and terminations will take effect only at the end of your current term and must be made at least 30 days prior to the start of your next renewal Subscription Term in order to avoid billing of the next renewal Subscription Term's fees at the prior rate. Services upgrades will take effect immediately and you will be charged a prorated fee for the remainder of your current Subscription Term based on the difference in price between your current plan and the upgraded plan.

(b) Payment Method. Affiniv may, from time to time, offer various expedited payment methods, including payment by credit card, debit card, or direct debit. If you select such a payment method when purchasing the Services, or provide such a payment method on an Order Form or Statement of Work (the "Payment Method"), you authorize Affiniv to charge you for Services through such Payment Method and agree to make payment using such Payment Method and to keep your payment-related information up to date. Certain Payment Methods, such as credit cards and debit cards, may involve agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Methods (the "Payment Method Provider"). If Affiniv does not receive payment from your Payment Method Provider, you agree to directly pay all amounts due upon demand from Affiniv. Your non-termination or continued use of the Services reaffirms that Affiniv is authorized to charge your Payment Method.

(c) Payment Matters. If your Payment Method fails or your account is past due, Affiniv reserves the right to either suspend or terminate your use of the Services. If Affiniv has agreed to issue invoices to you, payment of all invoices is due within 14 days of invoice receipt. You agree to submit in writing to Affiniv any disputes regarding any fees invoiced to you within 14 days of invoice receipt, or charged to your Payment Method within 60 days of such charge, otherwise such dispute will be waived and such invoices and charges will be final and not subject to challenge. Affiniv reserves the right to charge you interest at a rate of 1.5% per month on any overdue amounts, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. You will also reimburse any reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Affiniv to collect any undisputed amount that is not paid when due. All fees and charges are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for any partially used Services except (i) as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Pricing Page or an executed Order Form or Statement of Work between us; (ii) as otherwise required by applicable law; or (ii) at our sole and absolute discretion. All fees for Services are subject to change without notice; however, Affiniv will use reasonable efforts to notify you at least 30 days before any fee increase and fee changes will not take effect until your next renewal.

9. Confidential Information

(a) Definition. "Confidential Information" means non-public business information, know-how, and trade secrets in any form, including information regarding our product plans, security practices and policies, and any other information a reasonable person should understand to be confidential, which is disclosed by or on behalf of either party or its affiliates to the other party or its affiliates, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or by inspection of tangible objects, and whether such information is disclosed before or after the effective date of this Agreement. Confidential Information includes any portion of this Agreement and its terms that is not publicly available on our website.

The party receiving Confidential Information hereunder agrees to take reasonable steps, at least substantially equivalent to the steps it takes to protect its own proprietary information, but not less than reasonable care, to prevent the unauthorized duplication or disclosure of the Confidential Information to third parties without the disclosing party's prior written consent. The receiving party may disclose the disclosing party's Confidential Information to the receiving party's employees or agents who reasonably need to have access to such information to perform the receiving party's obligations under this Agreement, and who will treat such information as Confidential Information under the terms of this Agreement. The receiving party may disclose the disclosing party's Confidential Information if required by law so long as the receiving party gives the disclosing party written notice of the requirement prior to the disclosure (where permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the disclosing party's expense, in limiting disclosure or obtaining an order protecting the information from public disclosure.

Upon written request of the disclosing party, or in any event upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, the receiving party will return to the disclosing party or destroy all materials, in any medium, to the extent containing or reflecting any of the disclosing party's Confidential Information. With respect to your Customer Content, we will make your Customer Content available for download at any time upon your request during the term of this Agreement and for a period of 90 days following expiration or termination of this Agreement (excluding Customer Content resulting from Free Trials, which are covered by Section 1(e)). Following such 90-day period, we may purge your Customer Content from our systems. The obligations in this Section 9 survive for three years following expiration or termination of this Agreement, except that Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret of the disclosing party will continue to be subject to the terms of this Section 9 for as long as such information remains a trade secret under applicable law.

Further, you hereby represent and warrant to Affiniv that (i) you have the right to grant to Affiniv and its suppliers the rights granted herein and that none of the Customer Content contains any material that infringes upon any third-party right, including rights arising from contracts between you and third parties, copyright, trademark, class action, patent, consumer protection laws, trade secret, moral rights, privacy rights, rights of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right, or which slanders, defames, libels, or invades the right of privacy, publicity, or other property rights of any person; and (ii) none of the Customer Content provided by you hereunder contains any viruses, Trojan horses, trap doors, back doors, Easter eggs, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, or other computer programming routines that may potentially damage or interfere with the Services, or intercept or expropriate any system data or personal information from the Services.


11. Term; Termination

The term of this Agreement will continue until terminated. Without limiting Affiniv's rights to terminate as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, Affiniv may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to you for breach of Section 3, 4, 8, 9 or 10. In the event of a material breach by either party of any other provision of this Agreement, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement upon 5 business days' prior written notice without liability to the other party. Either party may terminate this Agreement for convenience at any time upon at least 10 business days' prior written notice to the other party. Upon termination of this Agreement, you will be responsible for paying (a) fees payable for the remainder of any ongoing Subscription Terms, unless this Agreement was terminated by you for Affiniv's uncured material breach or was terminated by Affiniv for convenience, and (b) any other amount due under this Agreement through the effective date of termination, and you authorize Affiniv to charge your Payment Method immediately upon termination for the full amount payable hereunder. No refunds of fees paid under this Agreement will be provided. Termination of this Agreement will not relieve either party of any obligations or liabilities that have accrued prior to the termination date (including obligations to pay fees, taxes, interest and collection costs) and is without prejudice to any other rights and remedies either party may have. In addition, each party's obligations as provided in the following sections of this Agreement will survive termination: 2, 3, 4(a), 6-9, 11-16 and 17 (excluding (a)).


12. Purchase Through Channel Partners

(a) Applicability. This Section 12 only applies to purchase of Services through an authorized distributor or reseller (a "Channel Partner"). If you are uncertain as to the applicability of this section to your purchase, you should contact Affiniv for further information.

(b) Channel Partners. If you ordered your Services from a Channel Partner, then the following terms apply:

(i) This Agreement is not exclusive of any rights you obtain under your agreement with the Channel Partner (the "Channel Partner Sale Agreement"); however, if there is any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Channel Partner Sale Agreement, then the provisions of this Agreement prevail. If a Channel Partner has granted you any rights that Affiniv does not also directly grant to you in this Agreement, or that conflict with this Agreement, then your sole recourse with respect to such rights is against the Channel Partner.

(ii) Your Subscription Term will run for the period of time stated in the Channel Partner Sales Agreement and, subject to Section 11, it will expire, renew and terminate in accordance with the terms of the Channel Partner Sale Agreement.

(iii) Section 2 does not apply to you, and your billing and payment rights and obligations are governed by the Channel Partner Sale Agreement. However, if the Channel Partner from whom you purchased the Services fails to pay Affiniv any amounts due in connection with your Services, then Affiniv may suspend your Services, with or without notice to you. You agree that your remedy in the event of such suspension is solely against the Channel Partner and that Affiniv is not liable to you in any manner for such suspension.



13. Indemnification

(a) Your Indemnity.

Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed as preventing either you or Affiniv from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or other violation of either party's confidential information or intellectual property or other proprietary rights.

(c) Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND AFFINIV ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.



17. Updates to this Agreement; Miscellaneous; Questions

(a) Updates to this Agreement. From time to time, Affiniv may change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Agreement (each an "Update"), and reserves the right to do so in its sole discretion. If Affiniv Updates this Agreement, it will make the Updated Agreement available here, and the Updated Agreement will indicate the date of the latest revision. Affiniv encourages you to review this Agreement periodically for changes. In the event that Updates to this Agreement materially alter your rights or obligations hereunder, Affiniv will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the Updates. For example, Affiniv may send a message to your email address that is currently associated with your Affiniv Account or generate a pop-up or similar notification when you access your Affiniv Account for the first time after such material changes are made. All Updated Agreements automatically take effect 30 days after they are made available through the Services, except that (i) disputes between you and Affiniv will be governed by the version of this Agreement that was in effect on the date the dispute arose and (ii) unless specifically agreed otherwise, if you do not agree with any changes to this Agreement, you may terminate this Agreement as set forth above. Your continued access to or use of the Services after an Updated Agreement has become effective indicates that you have read, understood and agreed to the current version of this Agreement.

(b) Audit Rights. Upon 15 days' notice, Affiniv may audit your use of the Services to ensure compliance with license, payment and other terms of this Agreement. You will cooperate with Affiniv's auditors and provide reasonable assistance and access to information. If the audit uncovers underpaid fees owed to Affiniv, you will pay those fees and if the audit uncovers a material underpayment of fees or material breach, you will pay Affiniv's costs incurred in conducting the audit within 30 days of written notification of the amounts owed. All information gathered as part of the audit will be treated as your Confidential Information.

(c) Entire Agreement; Conflicts. This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy and all Statements of Work and Order Forms, sets forth the entire agreement between Affiniv and you, and supersedes any and all prior agreements (whether written or oral) with respect to the subject matter set forth herein. If there is a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of an Order Form or Statement of Work, the terms of this Agreement will control unless the Order Form or Statement of Work states that a specific provision of this Agreement will be superseded by a specific provision of the Order Form or Statement of Work, and then the superseded terms will only apply to the applicable Order Form or Statement of Work, and not to any other Order Form or Statement of Work.

(d) Customer List. Affiniv may use your name and logo on its website and customer lists to identify you as a customer of the Services, unless you notify Affiniv in writing to stop doing so.

(e) Miscellaneous. This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Affiniv. Affiniv may freely assign or transfer this Agreement. Both parties are independent contractors, and neither party is an agent, representative or partner of the other. In this Agreement, "including" means "including without limitation". Affiniv may, in its sole discretion, work with licensors, vendors, contractors and other third parties to fulfill any obligations in this Agreement or to support the Services, and we may change our use of licensors, vendors, contractors and other third parties without notice to you. Any notices under this Agreement will be sent by Affiniv to at least one of the addresses provided to Affiniv in connection with your registration or updates thereto (or in a separate writing) and will be sent by you to the address for Affiniv shown on www.affiniv.com. The waiver of any breach or default of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default, and will not act to amend or negate the rights of the waiving party. If any provision contained in this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, then such provision will be severed and replaced with a new provision that most closely reflects the original intention of the parties, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Headings are provided for convenience but do not constitute part of this Agreement.
