The Agreement governs the provision by ChannelApe to the Customer of access to the Platform described on the Order Form, as it may be updated from time to time in ChannelApe’s sole discretion (the “Platform”). The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior communications and agreements, and supersedes any web terms posted on the Platform.

ChannelApe and Customer may enter into one or more Order Forms, pursuant to which Customer may purchase a subscription for the term set forth therein (each, a “Subscription Term”) to access and use the Platform described therein. Each Order Form is subject to the terms of, and incorporated into this Agreement, upon mutual execution by Customer and ChannelApe.
2. Access to the Platform. During each Subscription Term, and subject to Customer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, ChannelApe shall provide Customer with non-exclusive access to the Platform and outputs therefrom and grants Customer the right to access and use the Platform solely for its own business purposes, during such Subscription Term.

5. Billing Disputes. Customer agrees that it shall notify ChannelApe within 60 days of receipt of an invoice from ChannelApe if it intends to dispute the amounts owed under such invoice, and that after 60 days all undisputed invoices will be deemed to have been accepted.
3. ChannelApe Intellectual Property Rights & Restrictions. ChannelApe shall retain all intellectual property rights in the Platform and outputs therefrom, including any and all derivatives, changes and improvements thereto. Customer agrees that it obtains no intellectual property rights or licenses by this Agreement except those expressly granted herein. Customer hereby grants ChannelApe a non exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to any ideas, suggestions, feedback, or service improvements given by Customer pertaining to the Platform.

4. EU Privacy Laws. Customer agrees that it will not transfer to ChannelApe any Customer Data that contains personal data of a person subject to the European Union General Data Protection Regulation without first entering into a mutually agreeable data processing agreement with ChannelApe.
5. Confidentiality.
1. Nondisclosure. Each party (each a “Receiving Party”) agrees that it shall use and reproduce the Confidential Information of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) only for purposes of exercising its rights and performing its obligations under this Agreement and only to the extent necessary for such purposes and shall restrict disclosure of such Confidential Information to the Receiving Party’s employees, consultants, or advisors who have a need to know and who are bound by obligations of confidentiality and non­use at least as protective of such information as this Agreement and shall not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party. The foregoing obligations shall be satisfied by the Receiving Party through the exercise of at least the same degree of care used to restrict disclosure and use of its own information of like importance, but not less than reasonable care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement for the Receiving Party to disclose Confidential Information if compelled to do so under law, in a judicial or other governmental investigation or proceeding, provided that, to the extent permitted by law, the Receiving Party has given the Disclosing Party prior notice and reasonable assistance to permit the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to object to and/or limit the judicial or governmental requirement to disclosure. “Confidential Information” means all information of a party disclosed to the other party, regardless of the form of disclosure, 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 without limitation and without the need to designate as confidential, the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2. Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither party shall be liable for using or disclosing information that such party can prove: (i) was publicly known at the time it was disclosed or has become publicly known through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) was known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, at the time of disclosure, as demonstrated by files in existence at the time of disclosure; (iii) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party; (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without any use of the Confidential Information, as demonstrated by files created at the time of such independent development; (v) becomes known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, from a source other than the Disclosing Party without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party and otherwise not in violation of the Disclosing Party’s rights; or (vi) is disclosed generally to third parties by the Disclosing Party without restrictions similar to those contained in this Agreement.
6. Representations and Warranties.
1. Warranties. Each party represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (b) its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance hereunder will not violate any applicable law, rule or regulation. Customer additionally represents and warrants that the Customer Content does not infringe upon any third party's proprietary rights, including intellectual property rights.
2. Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN, CHANNELAPE PROVIDES THE USE OF THE SERVICE TO CUSTOMER ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT WHETHER ALLEGED TO ARISE BY LAW, BY USAGE IN THE TRADE, BY COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE.

7. Indemnification.

The indemnified party shall provide the indemnifying party with: (a) prompt written notice of such Claim; (b) sole control over the defense and settlement of such Claim; and (c) information as may be reasonably requested by the indemnifying party. The indemnified party will have the right to approve the counsel selected by the indemnifying party for defense of any such claim, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnifying party shall not settle any such Claim in a manner that does not unconditionally release the indemnified party without the indemnified party’s written consent.
8. Limitation of Liability.
1. EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL CHANNELAPE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, HOWEVER CAUSED, AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER OR NOT CHANNELAPE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
