This license is restricted to use by Customer and its Users and does not include the right to use the Subscription Services on behalf of any third party.  

4.2 Customer Guidelines and Responsibilities.

Company transmits and receives live video, videos, pictures, files, voice, SMS, and MMS messages via other major telecommunications companies and mobile network operators, and thus Company’s ability to control or adjust the timing of the transmission of Customer’s messages is subject to the technical constraints imposed upon Company. While Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to transmit Customer’s messages and broadcasts to the applicable network for final delivery to Customer’s designated clients and Users as quickly as possible, Company cannot commit to, and does not guarantee, a specific maximum delivery or transmission time.  Such times depend on various network and system-related factors among the various parties involved in the transmission of Customer’s messages across the public switched telephone network and/or Internet. Customer hereby understands and acknowledges that communications carriers assign messages with a default lifetime and any message that cannot be delivered successfully within the lifetime assigned to it will be discarded by the relevant communications carrier without any notice.

Customer represents and warrants that at all times during the term it will (a) set up, maintain and operate in good repair all Customer Systems on or through which the Services are accessed or used and (b) provide all cooperation and assistance as Company may reasonably request to enable Company to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under and in connection with the Agreement.

4.6 Customer Data Requirements and Consent.  Company is, under no circumstances, responsible for the contents and/or accuracy or legality of Customer’s messages to Clients and Company will only transmit such messages on a basis of good faith that Customer uses the Services in accordance with the Agreement. Customer is solely responsible for providing the content of all messages initiated by Customer through the Services and Apps. Customer hereby represents and warrants that: (a) it has obtained all necessary consents from its Users and clients for Company to send communications to clients and Users on behalf of Customer through the Services; (b) it will obtain all requisite consents necessary to use the Customer Data via the Services, including any verification and authentication of Customer or its clients and Users; (c) it will not send communications to any persons after receipt of an opt-out request from such person, except to confirm the opt-out request in compliance with applicable law, and (d) it is not permitted to and will not send or share any content via the Services promoting, offering or regarding cannabis at any time and doing so is a material violation of this Agreement. Company will not be liable for any misuse of the Services by Customer or its Users.  Company is not responsible for the views and opinions contained in any of Customer’s or its Users’ messages.

Company reserves the right to suspend Customer’s and its Users’ access to the Services if Company reasonably determines that: (a) Customer’s use of the Services presents a threat to Company’s network; (b) Customer has violated any of its obligations under Sections 4.3 and 4.5 above; (c) the security or proper function of the Services may be compromised due to hacking, denial of service attacks or other activities of a similar nature; or (d) Customer’s continued use may violate any applicable law or third-party rights. To the extent reasonably practicable given the nature of the issue giving rise to the suspension, Company will promptly: (i) notify Customer of such suspension in writing (electronic notice acceptable), and (ii) reinstate the suspended Services after the issue is abated.

4.8 Third-Party Applications. Unless otherwise set forth in an applicable Order Form: Company may make available Third-Party Applications that operate, interface or are delivered with the Services. Customer shall enter into a separate agreement with any such applicable third-party vendor prior to accessing and using such Third-Party Applications. Use of such Third Party Applications will be governed by such third party’s terms and conditions. COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO, THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS, WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE DESIGNATED BY COMPANY AS “VERIFIED” OR OTHERWISE, AND COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR SUCH THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS.

4.9 Template Terms: In certain circumstances, where subscribed for by Customer in an Order Form, Company may, as part of the Services, provide template terms of service, privacy policies and/or cookies policies for Customer and/or its Affiliates.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1 Confidential Information.  During the term of this Agreement, each Party will regard any information provided to it by the other Party and designated in writing as proprietary or confidential to be confidential (“Confidential Information”).

The receiving Party and its Representatives shall use such Confidential Information only for the purpose for which it was disclosed and shall not use or exploit such Confidential Information for its own benefit or the benefit of another party without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party. Each Party accepts responsibility for the actions of its Representatives and shall protect the other Party’s Confidential Information in the same manner as it protects its own proprietary information of a similar nature and sensitivity, but in no event shall less than reasonable care be used.  The Parties expressly agree that the terms and pricing of this Agreement are Confidential Information and Customer further agrees that it shall not use the Services for the purposes of conducting comparative analysis, evaluations or product benchmarks with respect to the Services and will not publicly post any analysis or reviews of the Services without Company’s prior written approval.  A receiving Party shall, to the extent legally permissible, promptly notify the disclosing Party upon any request for disclosure of Confidential Information by a valid order of a court or other governmental body having jurisdiction and shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the disclosing Party in enforcing its rights (at the disclosing Party’s expense). In any event, the receiving Party shall make such disclosure only to the extent required and shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that confidential treatment is afforded to any such Confidential Information so disclosed.

If Customer believes the warranty stated in this Section has been breached, Customer must notify Company of the breach no later than thirty (30) days following the date of becoming aware that the warranty was allegedly breached, and Company will promptly correct the non-conformity at its own expense if a breach of this warranty occurred.

Where applicable to the Subscription Services purchased, Customer acknowledges and agrees that the technology and platforms are run by software that is designed to be active 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, subject to scheduled maintenance; however, software in general is not error-free and the existence of any errors in Company software or technology used to deliver the Subscription Services or the failure to achieve such activity shall not constitute a breach of the Agreement. In the event that Company discovers a material error or problem with Customer’s Equipment or Customer Systems or other interface which substantially affects Customer’s use of the Subscription Services purchased by Customer, Company will notify Customer of such and once Customer has adequately remedied the issue, Company shall use reasonable measures to restore access to Customer’s service, provided that such error or problem has not been caused by incorrect use, abuse or corruption of the Subscription Services software or by improper use of the Subscription Services by Customer with other software or on Equipment which it is incompatible, or by a third party or unauthorized person accessing the service through Customer’s passcodes or access credentials.

Customer will indemnify Company Indemnitees from any damages, reasonable attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Company Indemnitees as a result of, or for any amounts paid under a court-approved settlement of a Claim Against Company.

8.3 Indemnification Procedure. Each Party’s obligation to indemnify the other Party is conditioned on the Party seeking indemnification: (a) promptly notifying the indemnifying Party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying Party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby; (b) allowing the indemnifying Party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement, provided that the indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim that requires the indemnified Party to admit fault or subjects the indemnified Party to ongoing obligations without the indemnified Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and (c) giving the indemnifying Party reasonable assistance in the defense and settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed.
