Charges

‍

Taxes. Customer will be responsible for all Taxes associated with Services, other than taxes based on INSPECTIV’s net income. If Customer provides INSPECTIV with a valid, duly executed tax exemption certificate, INSPECTIV will exempt Customer from Taxes per applicable law, effective on the date of receipt of the certificate. If Customer disputes the application of any Tax, Customer must give notice of the dispute within six months of the invoice date; otherwise, the application of Taxes as between INSPECTIV and Customer will be deemed correct and binding on Customer. If Customer is required by law to deduct or withhold from any payment due hereunder, the gross amount payable to INSPECTIV will be increased so that, after such deduction or withholding, the net amount received by INSPECTIV will not be less than INSPECTIV would have received absent such deduction or withholding.
Fees and Charges. INSPECTIV will invoice Customer, and Customer agrees to pay INSPECTIV as set forth in the applicable SO or SOW or, if not set forth therein, within 30 days of invoice date. INSPECTIV reserves the right in its sole discretion to adjust applicable fees and charges at the end of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, with 30 days prior notice to Customer. Invoices may be provided electronically.
Payment.
a. Payment of charges are set forth in the applicable SO or SOW. Customer will remit payment to INSPECTIV via INSPECTIV’s designated payment-processing platform or at INSPECTIV’s principal offices, unless INSPECTIV provides notice otherwise. All fees and charges will be payable in United States dollars. For any credit/debit card chargeback decided in INSPECTIV’s favor, INSPECTIV may invoice Customer a $25.00 charge to recover costs and pursue any other remedies available herein.
b. If an invoice is unpaid within the agreed upon terms set forth in the SO or SOW, INSPECTIV may, in its sole discretion and upon notice, (i) suspend Services, (ii) apply a late charge on the unpaid amount equal to the lesser of 1.5% interest per month or the maximum rate allowed by law, (iii) require Customer to provide a deposit to guarantee payment and/or (iv) pursue any other available remedy.
c. If Customer disputes in good faith an invoiced amount, Customer will, within 30 days of the invoice date, (i) pay the undisputed portion of the invoiced amount and (ii) provide detailed notice of the dispute and supporting documentation. The Parties then will work diligently to resolve the dispute. If Customer does not timely submit such materials, Customer waives all rights to dispute such amounts.

‍

Grant of Rights, Intellectual Property

‍

INSPECTIV grants to Customer the non-exclusive right to access and use the Services during the Term only for the purposes of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, INSPECTIV retains all rights, title and interest in and to the Services, Software, inventions or other INSPECTIV Technology deployed or developed, all Feedback and any Intellectual Property Rights related thereto. Customer will not, directly or indirectly, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive source code, object code or underlying structure, ideas, know-how or algorithms relevant to the Services, INSPECTIV Technology or any software (in source or object formats), documentation or data related thereto (collectively, “Software”); modify, translate, or create derivative works based on Services or INSPECTIV Technology (except to the extent expressly permitted by INSPECTIV or authorized within the Services); use Services or INSPECTIV Technology for timesharing or service bureau purposes or otherwise for the benefit of a third party; or remove any proprietary notices or labels.
Customer grants to INSPECTIV and its agents and subcontractors, the right to access and use, ingest, reproduce, duplicate, format, store, and display Customer Materials and Testing Environments in order to provide Services. Customer additionally grants to INSPECTIV a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, irrevocable, perpetual license to use or incorporate (a) Feedback without attribution to Customer and (b) Customer Materials and Testing Environments to create aggregated, anonymized information that does not identify Customer or an end user as the source of any specific piece of data, and does not include personally identifiable information (“Aggregate Data”). INSPECTIV will be the sole owner of the Aggregate Data and will be free to use and disclose the Aggregate Data. Subject to the foregoing, Customer retains all rights, title and interest in and to Customer Materials, Testing Environments and Intellectual Property Rights related thereto.
If Customer provides INSPECTIV with access to any non-public website or Testing Environment, Customer will cooperate with INSPECTIV in its efforts to make such website or Testing Environment available through the Services and allow INSPECTIV to access such website or Testing Environment. If any integration, development or other custom work is necessary to make such website or Testing Environment available to INSPECTIV through the Services, Customer will pay INSPECTIV for such services on a time and materials basis at INSPECTIV’s then-current rates and will reimburse INSPECTIV for all Customer approved, out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the performance of such Services.
Customer may use the Services to message or communicate with INSPECTIV. INSPECTIV reserves the right to monitor, intercept, review, store and/or delete such messages or communications, without further notice. Customer agrees that the identity of any INSPECTIV personnel will not be disclosed or otherwise made available to Customer by INSPECTIV or through the Services, and that INSPECTIV has no obligation to disclose the identity of any INSPECTIV personnel to Customer.

‍

Customer Data

‍

The Parties acknowledge and agree that (1) by providing Services, INSPECTIV, its Affiliates and agents will come into possession of certain Customer data, (2) any processing of such data by INSPECTIV occurs exclusively at Customer’s direction and discretion, as exercised through workflows or other agreed means and (3) INSPECTIV, its Affiliates and agents may use, process and/or transfer Customer data, including transfers to entities in countries that do not provide statutory protections for personal data (a) in connection with Services and (b) to incorporate Customer data into databases controlled by INSPECTIV and its Affiliates for purposes of providing the Services hereunder and for Services improvement.

‍

Confidentiality

‍

During the Term and for three years after, Receiving Party will not use, copy or disclose Confidential Information except as permitted herein. All copies of Confidential Information remain Disclosing Party’s sole property. Receiving Party will protect Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information using at least the same procedures as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but no less than reasonable procedures. Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, consultants and contractors who have a need to know in connection with this Agreement and who have executed a similarly stringent confidentiality agreement or are subject to a professional duty of confidentiality. Receiving Party also may disclose Confidential Information pursuant to applicable law, regulation, subpoena or other order of a court of competent jurisdiction (collectively, “Legal Requirement”) or to establish rights or obligations under this Agreement in any proceeding; provided, that (1) reasonable prior notice, unless legally prohibited, is provided to Disclosing Party to permit it the opportunity to contest such disclosure, (2) Receiving Party cooperates with Disclosing Party to comply with any applicable protective order and (3) Receiving Party discloses only to the extent necessary to comply with the Legal Requirement or to establish such rights or obligations. Receiving Party will notify Disclosing Party upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information and will cooperate to help prevent further unauthorized use or disclosure. These confidentiality obligations do not apply to Confidential Information which (a) was in the other's possession before receipt from Disclosing party; (b) was received in good faith from a third party not subject to a confidential obligation to the other Party; (c) now is or later becomes publicly known through no breach of confidential obligation by Receiving Party; (d) was developed by Receiving Party without having access to the Confidential Information received from the other Party; or (e) is authorized in writing by Disclosing Party to be released or is designated in writing by Disclosing Party as no longer confidential. Receiving Party acknowledges that Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information is valuable and unique and that unauthorized use or disclosure will result in irreparable injury to Disclosing Party, for which monetary damages are inadequate. If Receiving Party violates or threatens to violate this Section 6, Disclosing Party may seek injunctive relief without posting bond, in addition to any other available remedies.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, each Party may retain an archival copy of the other Party’s Confidential Information and disclose portions of the archival copy to its licensing, accreditation or other regulatory bodies provided such recipients are subject to confidentiality requirements at least as restrictive as those provided herein. Confidential Information securely stored using third-party applications will not constitute a disclosure of such Confidential Information. Confidential Information incidentally captured by system-backup media need not be returned or destroyed, provided that the backup media are maintained in confidence.
If Customer terminates this Agreement, an SO or SOW early without cause or if INSPECTIV terminates the Agreement, an SO or SOW for cause, Customer will be invoiced and pay to INSPECTIV an early termination fee in an amount equal to Customer’s recurring charges, if any, multiplied by the number of months remaining in the Term, or as otherwise set forth in the applicable SO or SOW. This early termination fee is agreed by the Parties to be liquidated damages and not a penalty.

‍

Customer will, at its cost, defend and indemnify INSPECTIV and its officers, directors, employees, agents and permitted successors and assigns (each a "INSPECTIV Indemnitee") through final judgment or settlement, from and against any third-party claim, action, suit, proceeding, judgments, settlements, losses, damages, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) and costs (including allocable costs of in-house counsel) ("Claim") brought against a INSPECTIV Indemnitee arising out, related to or based upon (a) a material breach of Customer’s obligations hereunder, (b) Customer Materials or (c) unauthorized use of or access to Services or Software.
INSPECTIV will, at its cost, defend and indemnify Customer and its officers, directors, employees, agents and permitted successors and assigns (each a "Customer Indemnitee") through final judgment or settlement, from and against any Claim brought against a Customer Indemnitee arising out, related to or based upon (a) a material breach of INSPECTIV’s obligations hereunder or (b) any allegation that Customer’s use of the INSPECTIV Technology or Services in accordance with this Agreement infringes or misappropriates the Intellectual Property Rights of a third party, unless such Claim is attributable to the following: (i) any unauthorized modification or enhancement of INSPECTIV Technology or Services or (ii) use of the INSPECTIV Technology and/or Services in combination with other products or services not provided or approved by INSPECTIV, where the violation, infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred but for such combination.
Process. The INSPECTIV Indemnitee or Customer Indemnitee, as applicable (“Indemnified Party”), will (a) promptly provide notice to the other Party hereto (“Indemnifying Party”) of any indemnifiable Claim provided, that, any delay in providing notice will not relieve Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by the delay, (b) permit Indemnifying Party to control the defense of such Claim and (c) provide reasonable assistance at Indemnifying Party’s cost. Subject to the foregoing, Indemnifying Party may select legal counsel to represent the Indemnified Party (such counsel to be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) and to otherwise control the defense.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Other than INSPECTIV Affiliates providing any Services, there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.
Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable by reason of any failure or delay in performing its obligations hereunder due to any act of God, war, military action, governmental restriction or action, civil disorder or unrest, terrorism, explosion, accident, fire, flood or other natural disaster, vandalism, sabotage, labor condition, shortage, embargo, malicious code or online attacks (provided, that the Party claiming such cause has taken commercially reasonable steps to prevent such attacks) or other cause beyond such Party’s reasonable control (each, a "Force Majeure Event"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer’s obligation to pay will not be delayed or excused by a Force Majeure Event to the extent of Services provided before a Force Majeure Event. A Party whose performance is affected by a Force Majeure Event will promptly provide notice with relevant details to the other Party and the notifying Party’s obligations will be suspended to the extent caused by such Force Majeure Event for as long as it continues; and the time to perform the affected obligation will be extended by the delay caused by the Force Majeure Event. If the affected Party is prevented by the Force Majeure Event from performing its obligations with regard to a Service for 30 days, either Party may in its sole discretion immediately terminate the affected Service upon notice to the other Party; provided, that, if Customer terminates, Customer must first provide INSPECTIV a reasonable opportunity to comparably replace the affected Service. Upon such termination, INSPECTIV is entitled to payment of all accrued but unpaid fees or charges incurred through the termination date. The Parties otherwise will bear their own costs and INSPECTIV will be under no further liability to perform the affected Services.
Choice of Law, Forum. This Agreement will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Each Party agrees that any action, suit or other proceeding based upon or arising from this Agreement (each, a "Dispute") will be brought and maintained only in a Federal or State court of competent jurisdiction located in Los Angeles County, California. Each Party consents to the mandatory jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waives any right to object to jurisdiction and venue. The prevailing Party in any Dispute will be entitled to recovery of its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act and United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Agreement.
Relationship of Parties. The Parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not establish a partnership, joint venture, association or agency relationship or other co-operative entity between the Parties.
Waiver, Changes. No failure or delay by a Party to exercise or enforce any right hereunder will waive any such right. INSPECTIV may amend this Agreement from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion. While INSPECTIV will endeavor to provide notice, it is not required to.
Severability. If any provision hereunder is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or contrary to law, such holding will not render the Agreement unenforceable or contrary to law as a whole; and such provision will be changed and interpreted to best accomplish the objectives of the provision subject to applicable law.
Assignment. Neither Party may assign this Agreement without the other Party’s express prior consent except that INSPECTIV may freely assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, (a) to a parent or Affiliate or (b) in connection with a Change of Control. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all permitted successors and assigns. Any assignment in contravention of this section is null and void.

Parts 730 et seq.), as well as those of a non-US equivalent. Accordingly, their use, import, export and re-export may be restricted, prohibited or require securing licenses.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement, all SOs, SOWs or addenda and exhibits between the Parties are incorporated herein by reference, constitute the Parties’ entire agreement with respect to its subject matter and supersede all other prior or contemporaneous representations, understandings or agreements; and there are no other representations, understandings or agreements between the Parties relative to such subject matter.
Remedies. Unless otherwise expressly stated, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties’ rights and remedies provided for hereunder are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies at law or equity.
Construction. Descriptive headings are for convenience only and will not affect the construction of this Agreement. “Include,” “including” or “e.g.” mean “include, without limitation”. “Day” means calendar day unless otherwise indicated. Terms with well-known technical or industry meanings are construed as such. Each Party and its counsel have fully reviewed and contributed to this Agreement. Any rule of construction that ambiguities are resolved against the drafter will not apply in interpreting the Agreement.
Arbitration of Disputes, Class Action Waiver. Any claim or dispute relating to this Agreement (“Claim”) will be exclusively resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court, except that qualifying claims may be asserted in small claims court. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law will apply to Claims. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury, and court review of an award may be limited; but an arbitrator may award the same damages and relief as a court and must follow the Agreement just as a court would. The Parties hereby agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.

Arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles, California unless you choose to have it conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or the Parties mutually agree to another location. The arbitration will be conducted under JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, per the Expedited Procedures in those Rules. See http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/ or call 1-800-352-5267. The JAMS rules will govern payment of filing, administration and arbitrator fees. The arbitrator will award to the prevailing party its costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, or an appropriate percentage thereof if the arbitrator determines the prevailing party won some but not all Claims. Judgment on an arbitration award may be entered in any court with competent jurisdiction.

The Parties hereby agree that either Party may sue in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. If such a claim proceeds in court, you and INSPECTIV waive any right to a jury trial, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of that action will be the state or federal courts in Los Angeles, California and the Parties consent to the mandatory jurisdiction and venue of these respective courts.
Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder will be in writing, in English and deemed conclusively made (a) if personally delivered, upon delivery, (b) if delivered by overnight courier or private mail service, upon receipt, (c) if delivered by certified mail return receipt requested, five days from mail deposit or (d) if delivered by e-mail or fax, upon delivery confirmation.
