2. Customer Responsibilities.

General. Customer is responsible and liable for all uses of the Services and Documentation resulting from access provided by Customer, directly or indirectly, whether such access or use is permitted by or in violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer is responsible for all acts and omissions of Authorized Users, and any act or omission by an Authorized User that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if taken by Customer will be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Customer. Customer shall use all reasonable efforts to make all Authorized Users aware of this Agreement’s provisions as applicable to such Authorized User’s use of the Services and shall cause Authorized Users to comply with such provisions.
Third-Party Products. Provider may from time to time make Third-Party Products available to Customer. For purposes of this Agreement, such Third-Party Products are subject to their own terms and conditions which you hereby agree to be bound by and comply with. If Customer does not agree to abide by the applicable terms for any such Third-Party Products, then Customer should not install or use such Third-Party Products.
Technical Requirements. In accordance with the requirements set forth on EXHIBIT A, Customer must have required equipment, software, and Internet access to be able to use the Services. Acquiring, installing, maintaining and operating equipment, any Customer software, and Internet access is solely Customer’s responsibility, except as otherwise expressly provided in a Schedule. Provider neither represents nor warrants that the Provider Software will be accessible through all web browser releases or all versions of tablets, smartphones, or other computing devices, except as expressly set forth on EXHIBIT A.
Use of Website and Services. Customer shall not and shall ensure that the Authorized Users do not, and shall not otherwise knowingly permit others in using the Provider website or Services to: (i) defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate or infringe the legal rights (such as rights of privacy, publicity and intellectual property) of others or Provider; (ii) publish, ship, distribute or disseminate any harmful, inappropriate, profane, vulgar, infringing, obscene, false, fraudulent, tortious, indecent, unlawful, immoral or otherwise objectionable material or information (including any unsolicited commercial communications); (iii) publish, ship, distribute or disseminate material or information that encourages conduct that constitutes a criminal offense; (iv) misrepresent or in any other way falsely identify Customer’s identity or affiliation, including through impersonation or altering any technical information in communications using the Services; (v) knowingly transmit or upload any material through the Software Services containing viruses, trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, or any other programs with the intent or effect of damaging, destroying, disrupting or otherwise impairing Provider’s, or any other person’s or entity’s, network, computer system, or other equipment; (vi) interfere with or disrupt the Services, networks or servers connected to the Provider systems or violate the regulations, policies or procedures of such networks or servers, including unlawful or unauthorized altering of any of the information submitted through the Software Services; (vii) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Software Services, other Provider customers’ computer systems or networks using the Software Services through any means; (viii) copy, modify or create derivative works or improvements of the Services or Provider Software; (ix) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, decode, adapt or otherwise attempt to derive or gain access to the source code of the Services or Provider Software, in whole or in part; (x) bypass or breach any security device or protection used by the Services or Provider software or access or use the Services or Provider software other than through the use of then valid access credentials; (xi) remove, delete, alter or obscure any trademarks, Documentation, warranties or disclaimers, or any copyright, trademark, patent or other Intellectual Property Rights notices from any Services or Provider software; (xii) access or use the Services or Provider software for purposes of competitive analysis of the Services or Provider software, the development, provision or use of a competing software service or product or any other purpose that is to Provider’s detriment or commercial disadvantage; or (xiii) interfere with another party’s use of the Services. Provider has no obligation to monitor Customer’s use of the Provider software and Services; however, Provider reserves the right, at all times, to monitor such use, and to review, retain and disclose any information as necessary to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and to satisfy or cooperate with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.
Account Activation. Provider will provide Customer with a Provider account in order to use the Services. Customer may then choose an account name for its web space (e.g., myname.Providersaas.com) that is not already in use by another customer. Customer and Authorized Users are fully responsible for all activities performed on or through their account. Customer agrees that Customer and each Authorized User will: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information as prompted by the registration form, (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to ensure the information is always true, accurate, current and complete, (c) immediately inform Provider of any unauthorized use of an account or any other breach of security, and (d) exit from the account at the end of each work session. Provider undertakes no obligation to verify the data provided by Customer or its Authorized Users. However, if Provider finds or suspects that the provided information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Provider may suspend or terminate Customer’s or and Authorized User’s account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services (or any part of them).
Password Confidentiality. Each Authorized User that uses the Software Services must choose a password when registering. Customer will cause such Authorized Users to maintain the confidentiality of the passwords. Customer will also be assigned a password or passwords for access to and use of the Software Services. Customer acknowledges that once the initial password provided to the Customer is changed, Provider does not retain the technical ability to retrieve such passwords. Customer is fully responsible for all activities that occur using Customer and Authorized User passwords. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Provider shall not be liable for any loss that Customer or any Authorized User may incur as a result of someone else using a password that has been assigned to or obtained by Customer or its Authorized Users, either with or without the knowledge of Customer or the applicable Authorized User; nor shall Provider be liable or responsible for any unauthorized access or misuse of the Software Services by Customer or any of its Authorized Users.
Authorized Users. In relation to the Authorized Users, Customer undertakes that: (i) it will not allow or knowingly suffer any user subscription to be used by more than one individual Authorized User unless it has been reassigned in its entirety to another individual Authorized User, in which case the prior Authorized User shall no longer have any right to access or use the Services and/or Documentation; (ii) it shall maintain an up to date list of current Authorized Users; (iii) it shall permit Provider to audit the Services in order to establish the name and password of each Authorized User, where such audit may be conducted no more than once per quarter, at Provider’s expense, and this right shall be exercised with reasonable prior notice, in such a manner as not to substantially interfere with Customer’s normal conduct of business; (iv) if any audits reveal that any password has been provided to any individual who is not an authorized Authorized User, then without prejudice to Provider’s other rights, Customer shall promptly disable such passwords and Provider shall not issue any new passwords to any such individual; and (v) if any audits reveal that Customer has underpaid Fees to Provider, then without prejudice to the Provider’s other rights, Customer shall pay to Provider an amount equal to such underpayment within ten (10) Business Days of the date of the relevant audit.
Application Programming Interface Provisions.
1. An instance of the Provider Software (“Provider Instance”) may be accessible through an Application Program Interface (API) requiring login and API credentials (“Provider Credentials”). Customer expressly understands and agrees that Provider does not control, track, or monitor the dissemination of any of “Provider Credentials”, and, therefore, any misappropriation of those Provider Credentials may neither be apparent to nor discoverable by Provider without notice.
2. Provider provides documentation disclosing certain aspects of its software functionality (“API Software and Protocols”). The API Software and Protocols may allow customers to pull and insert specific data elements into and out of their Provider instance (“Code Snippet”). Provider expressly disclaims and shall have no liability with respect to how the API Software and Protocols or Code Snippets are used. Further, unless otherwise specified in an applicable SOW, Provider takes no ownership interest in or rights to any third-party software code that incorporates the API Software and Protocols or Code Snippets, unless otherwise agreed by the parties upon in writing.
3. In order to enable the functionality provided by the API Software and Protocols, a requesting party must serve licensed Provider Credentials to the Provider Instance. Customer expressly understands that Provider does not go beyond a verification of proper Provider Credentials to validate whether or not access or use of a customer’s Provider Instance is authorized. Accordingly, an unauthorized party may use misappropriated, although valid, Provider Credentials to gain access to and employ the functionality of an otherwise properly licensed Provider Instance. Once the Provider Credentials are validated by the Provider Instance, any software code that is written in accordance to Provider’s API Protocols will function with the Provider Instance as designed. Thus, any unauthorized dissemination and distribution of the Provider Credentials may lead to an unauthorized use of a Provider Instance. Provider expressly disclaims and shall have no liability to Customer or any third party for how the API Software and Protocols or Code Snippets are used, whether authorized or not authorized by Customer.
4. Provider allows Customer to control, track, and monitor end-users with access to the API credentials. Customer expressly understands and acknowledges, therefore, that it is an obligation upon Customer to govern all Authorized Users under its license with policies and procedures that conform to an authorized use of their subscribed Provider Instance.
5. Nothing in the foregoing shall be construed as a requirement on Provider to follow the same API Software and Protocols in the future, and the parties expressly understand that Provider may change the API Software and Protocols, with or without notice, at any time. Provider shall have no liability to Customer or any third party with respect to any changes, whether announced or unannounced.
6. Provider expressly disclaims and shall have no liability for any loss or damages resulting from the use of the API Software and Protocols, with or without misappropriated API Credentials in a software application, and Customer shall indemnify defend, and hold harmless Provider against all claims, actions or proceedings, arising out of any claim related thereto, to the extent of Customer’s action or inaction with respect thereto.
7. Subject to and conditioned on Customer’s compliance with all terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Provider hereby grant Customer a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence during the term of the Agreement to use the Provider Instance solely for Customer’s internal business purposes in allowing those applications developed by Customer to interact with the Provider Instance (“Your Applications”) to communicate and interoperate with the Provider Offering. You acknowledge that there are no implied licences granted under this Agreement. We reserve all rights that are not expressly granted. You may not use the Provider Instance for any other purpose without our prior written consent. You must obtain an Provider Instance Key through the registration process available at [URL] to use and access the Provider Instance. You may not share your Provider Instance Key with any third party, must keep your Provider Instance Key and all log-in information secure, and must use the Provider Instance Key as your sole means of accessing the Provider Instance. Your Provider Instance Key may be revoked at any time by us.
8. Except as expressly authorized under this Agreement, Customer may not: (a) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Provider Instance, in whole or in part; (b) rent, lease, lend, sell, license, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or otherwise make available the Provider Instance; (c) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, decode, adapt, or otherwise attempt to derive or gain access to any software component of the Provider Instance, in whole or in part; (d) remove any proprietary notices from the Provider Instance; (e) use the Provider Instance in any manner or for any purpose that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property right or other right of any person, or that violates any applicable law; (f) combine or integrate the Provider Instance with any software, technology, services, or materials not authorized by Provider; (g) design or permit Your Applications to disable, override, or otherwise interfere with any Provider-implemented communications to end users, consent screens, user settings, alerts, warning, or the like; (h) use the Provider Instance in any of Your Applications to replicate or attempt to replace the user experience of the Provider Offering; or (i) attempt to cloak or conceal your identity or the identity of Your Applications when requesting authorization to use the Provider Instance
This Agreement does not entitle you to any support for the Provider Instance. You acknowledge that we may update or modify the Provider Instance from time to time and at our sole discretion (in each instance, an “Update“), and may require you to obtain and use the most recent version of the Provider Instance. Updates may adversely affect how Your Applications communicate with the Provider Offering. You are required to make any changes to the Applications that are required for integration as a result of such Update at your sole cost and expense. Your continued use of the Provider Instance following an Update constitutes binding acceptance of the Update.

3. Service Levels and Support.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Support Services available in accordance with the service levels set out in EXHIBIT A.

4. Fees and Payment.

Fees. Customer shall pay Provider the fees (“Fees“) as set forth in the quote agreed to by the Customer by the 1st day of each month of service in accordance with the Provider’s Payment Policy as outlined in Exhibit C. Customer shall make all payments hereunder in Canadian dollars on or before the date which is fifteen (15) days from the date of Provider’s invoice. If Customer fails to make any payment when due, without limiting Provider’s other rights and remedies: (i) Provider may charge interest on the past due amount at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or, if lower, the maximum amount permitted under applicable Law; (ii) Customer shall reimburse Provider for all costs incurred by Provider in collecting any late payments or interest, including legal fees, court costs, and collection agency fees; and (iii) if such failure continues for 30 days or more, Provider may suspend Customer’s and its Authorized Users’ access to any portion or all of the Services until such amounts are paid in full.
Taxes. All Fees and other amounts payable by Customer under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments. Customer is responsible for all harmonized sales tax (HST), provincial sales tax (PST), goods and services tax (GST), value added tax, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, provincial, territorial, or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on Provider’s income.

Customer agrees to maintain complete and accurate records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles during the Term and for a period of two (2) years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement with respect to matters necessary for accurately determining amounts due hereunder. Provider may, at its own expense, on reasonable prior notice, periodically inspect and audit Customer’s records with respect to matters covered by this Agreement, provided that if such inspection and audit reveals that Customer has underpaid Provider with respect to any amounts due and payable during the Term, Customer shall promptly pay the amounts necessary to rectify such underpayment, together with interest in accordance with Section 4(a) . Customer shall pay for the costs of the audit if the audit determines that Customer’s underpayment equals or exceeds five percent (5%) for any quarter. Such inspection and auditing rights will extend throughout the Term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

5. Confidential Information

The receiving Party shall not disclose the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the receiving Party’s employees who have a need to know the Confidential Information for the receiving Party to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required (i) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order; or (ii) to establish a Party’s rights under this Agreement, including to make required court filings. On the expiration or termination of the Agreement, the receiving Party shall promptly return to the disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. Each Party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the Effective Date and will survive expiration or termination of the Agreement.

Prior to making such a disclosure, Provider shall, to the extent permitted under the Legal Order, make commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with: (a) prompt written notice of the disclosure requirements set forth in the Legal Order so that Customer may seek, at its sole cost and expense, a protective order or other remedy; and (b) reasonable assistance, at Customer’s sole cost and expense, in opposing such disclosure or seeking a protective order or other limitations on disclosure. If, after providing such notice and assistance as required herein, Provider remains subject to a Legal Order to disclose any Personal Data, Provider shall, upon Customer’s request, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances from the applicable court or agency that such Personal Data will be Processed solely to the extent necessary and otherwise remain confidential.

12. Cross-Border Transfers of Personal Data

Neither Customer nor Provider shall transfer any Personal Data to another country unless the transfer complies with the Data Privacy Laws. Provider may transfer and process Personal Data anywhere in the world where Provider, its Affiliates or its Subprocessors maintain data processing operations. To the extent that Provider processes (or causes to be processed) any Personal Data originating from the European Economic Union in a country that has not been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for Personal Data, Provider shall put in place such measures as are necessary to ensure the transfer is in compliance with EU Data Privacy Laws, which may include the execution of standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or the putting in place of any other valid transfer mechanism under Data Privacy Laws.
