3.2 Outside Platform interoperability.  Pacvue cannot guarantee the continued availability of any particular Outside Platform feature, and may cease providing them without entitling Customer to any refund, credit, or other compensation, such as if an Outside Platform provider ceases to make the Outside Platform available for interoperation with the corresponding Services features in a manner acceptable to Pacvue. 

3.3 Necessary Services.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that in order for the Services to work with certain Outside Platforms, such as Amazon’s marketplace services for sellers, you must grant us access to your applicable third party account(s) with such Outside Platforms, such as your Amazon account for Amazon’s marketplace services.   

3.4 Customer’s Right to Access.  You represent that you have the rights to access and grant us access to any Outside Platforms you use with the Services, and that you are an owner or authorized user of the Outside Platform accounts you authorize us to incorporate.  You further agree and acknowledge that we do not own or operate such Outside Platforms and we are therefore not responsible for the operations, security, or performance of such Outside Platforms or Customer Data provided thereby.

If Customer receives notice from Pacvue that an Outside Platform must be removed, modified and/or disabled to avoid violating applicable law, applicable Outside Terms or third-party rights, Customer will promptly do so. If Customer does not take required action in accordance with the above, or if in Pacvue’s judgment immediate action is necessary or continued violation is likely to reoccur, Pacvue may disable Customer’s use of the applicable Outside Platform within the Services and any related aspect of the Services to the extent it deems necessary to avoid violating applicable law, applicable Outside Terms or third-party rights.  If requested by Pacvue, Customer shall confirm such deletion and discontinuance of use in writing and Pacvue shall be authorized to provide a copy of such confirmation to any such third-party claimant or governmental authority, as applicable.

However, Pacvue will use commercially reasonable efforts under the circumstances to provide Customer with notice and an opportunity to remedy such violation or threat prior to any such suspension.   

4.4 Usage Restrictions.  Customer agrees that it and its Users will not:

5.1 Fees. Customer will pay all fees described in any Order Form in accordance with the terms of the Order Form (“Fees”).  Except as otherwise specified in these Terms or in an Order Form, (i) payment obligations are non-cancelable and all Fees paid are non-refundable, and (ii) the nature, quantity or scope of Purchased Services may only be increased or decreased in accordance with the applicable Order Form. Customer hereby acknowledges that its right to any Upgrades will be contingent upon Customer agreeing to additional Fees, either as set forth in a new schedule to its Order Form or as otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. In the event that Customer disputes any Fees in any invoice, you agree to notify us within twenty (20) days of the receipt of such invoice. If you fail to notify us within such period, you hereby waive your right to dispute such Fees. 

5.2 Payment. Customer will maintain with Pacvue (or its payment processor) valid and updated credit card information or alternative financial or payment documentation or information (for example, bank account information) reasonably acceptable to Pacvue. Except as otherwise provided in an Order Form, Customer authorizes Pacvue (or its payment processor) to charge such payment method in advance of Customer’s access or use of the Services. Failure by Customer to provide a purchase/insertion order shall not limit Pacvue its rights or remedies. 

5.3 Overdue Charges. If Pacvue is unable to effect payment when due using Customer’s payment method, then Pacvue may, without limiting its rights or remedies, charge Customer for all costs, including collection costs, court costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees associated with the attempt and/or collection of past due amounts, as well as a monthly late fee equal to 1.5% per month or the greatest amount allowed under the law.  

5.4 Suspension of Services. In the event any Fees due and owing from the last day of the initial payment period, Pacvue may, after providing notice to Client, and without limiting any of its other rights and remedies: (i) suspend, terminate, or otherwise deny Client access to or use of, all or any part of the Services, and (ii) require full payment of the overdue amount, and any other amount due and owing, prior to additional or continued performance by Pacvue. 

5.5 Taxes. Pacvue’s fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases or subscriptions hereunder. If Pacvue has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, Pacvue will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides Pacvue with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, Pacvue is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.   

6. PACVUE’S RIGHTS; LICENSE TO FEEDBACK 

6.1 Reservation of Rights. Subject to the limited rights expressly granted hereunder, Pacvue, its Affiliates and its licensors reserve all of their rights, title, and interest in and to the Services and Content, including all of their related intellectual property rights.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY   

7.1 Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure, including the contents of any Order Form(s) or other written information specific to Customer’s relationship with Pacvue. Confidential Information of Customer includes Customer Data; Confidential Information of Pacvue includes the Services and Content. Confidential Information of each party includes business and marketing plans, financial data and information, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, 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, (ii) 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. For clarity, the non-disclosure obligations in this Section 7 apply to Confidential Information exchanged between the parties in connection with the evaluation of any Services, whether Purchased Services or otherwise.   

7.2 Protection of Confidential Information. As between the parties, each party retains all ownership rights in and to its Confidential Information. 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 these Terms and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit disclosure and access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees, professional advisors and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with these Terms and are bound by confidentiality obligations in favor of the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein, this does not include disclosure to to Pacvues competitors which is specifically excluded. 

7.3 Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior written notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.   

8. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND DISCLAIMERS

8.2 Services Warranties.

For any breach of a warranty under this Section 8.2, Customer’s exclusive remedies are those described in Section 11.2 (“Termination”) and Section 11.3 (“Refund or Payment upon Termination”) below.   

8.3 Infringement Warranty & Remedy.  Pacvue warrants that, when used in accordance with these Terms, the Purchased Services do not and will not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.  The foregoing warranty will not apply to the extent any infringement arises from the Customer’s use of the Purchased Services in combination with hardware or software not provided by Pacvue.  In the event of a breach of the warranty in this Section 8.3, Pacvue, at its own option and expense, will promptly take the following actions: (a) secure for Customer the necessary rights to allow Customer continue using the Purchased Services; (b) replace or modify the Purchased Services to make them non-infringing; or (c) terminate the infringing features of the Purchased Services and refund to Customer any prepaid fees for such features, in proportion to the remaining time in the applicable Subscription Term. In addition to Customer’s right to terminate for breach where applicable, the preceding sentence states Pacvue’s sole obligation and liability, and Customer’s sole remedy, for breach of the warranty in this Section 8.3 and for potential or actual intellectual property infringement by the Purchased Services. 

8.4 Disclaimers. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, PACVUE AND ITS AFFILIATES MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, GUARANTEES, OR CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE SERVICES INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY THAT ANY SERVICES AND ESTIMATIONS ARE ERROR-FREE OR WILL OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, OR THAT ALL ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED. PACVUE ALSO SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS THAT USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT CUSTOMER’S OWN RISK AND THAT PACVUE PROVIDES THE SERVICES ON AN “AS IS” BASIS “WITH ALL FAULTS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”

9.2 Pacvue shall (a) promptly give written notice of the Claim to Customer; (b) give Customer sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim using counsel reasonably approved by Pacvue (provided that Customer may not settle or defend any Claim unless it unconditionally releases Pacvue of all liability without the obligation to take or refrain from any action or pay any amounts); and (c) provide to Customer, at Customer’s cost, all reasonable assistance.   

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY   

10.1 Limitation of Liability.  EXCEPT FOR INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER AND ITS AFFILIATES HEREUNDER FOR PURCHASED SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE FIRST INCIDENT OUT OF WHICH THE LIABILITY AROSE.

12. ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER 

12.1 Informal Process First.  You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and Pacvue, you will first contact Pacvue and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution. 
 
12.2 Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver.  After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Dispute“) relating in any way to your use of Pacvue’s services and/or products, including the Services, will be resolved by arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the Dispute. You and Pacvue agree that any Dispute will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules“) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms).

Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis – class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You understand that by agreeing to these Terms, you and Pacvue are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or class arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and Pacvue will have the right to (i) bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator and (ii) you and Pacvue may instead assert a claim in “small claims” court, but only if the claim qualifies, the claim remains in such court and the claim remains on an individual, non-representative and non-class basis.

‍ 
13.8 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 these Terms in its entirety, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party is acquired by, sells all or 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 these Terms upon written notice. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.
