The Service is the proprietary intellectual property of Uniform and its licensors, protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Except for the rights granted herein, Uniform and its licensors retain all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in the Service (and any derivative works of or improvements to any of the foregoing created by or for Uniform) and the documentation. Even if the terms “purchase” and “sale” are used, Customer does not receive ownership rights in the Service and have only those use rights in this Agreement. Uniform retains all rights not explicitly granted herein.

Customer retains all rights to Customer Data. Uniform disclaims all ownership and other rights as to Customer Data, except any limited rights granted by Customer to provide the Service.

Customer will pay Uniform in U.S. Dollars the fees in the amounts and at the times specified on the Order Form. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are due 30 days from the date of Uniform’s invoice and all fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable.  If Customer is paying by credit card, Customer represents and warrants that it has the right to use the credit card provided and grants Uniform the right to provide the credit card information, including the credit card number, its expiration data and billing address, to third parties for the purposes of facilitating payment transactions. If payment is not received by the due date, Uniform may suspend Customer’s access to Service until overdue amounts are paid in full. Customer is responsible for any sales, use, value added, excise, property, withholding or similar tax and any related tariffs, and similar charges, except taxes based on Uniform’s net income. If Customer is required to pay any such taxes, Customer shall pay such taxes with no reduction or offset in the amounts payable to Uniform hereunder. If an applicable tax authority requires Uniform to pay any taxes that should have been payable by Customer, Uniform will advise Customer in writing, and Customer will promptly reimburse Uniform for the amounts paid.

By purchasing subscription Services with a credit card or similar electronic form of payment, Customer agrees that payment may be made to Uniform at the recurring intervals agreed to by Customer until the subscription is terminated by Customer or Uniform.  By authorizing recurring payments, Customer authorizes Uniform to store Customer’s payment information and process such payments.  If any transaction is rejected or denied, Uniform reserves the right to collect any applicable rejection or insufficient funds fee and process any such payment.

In order to confirm compliance with this Agreement, Uniform may, at its expense and not more frequently than annually, audit Customer’s records relating to Customer’s use of the Service, and Customer agrees to reasonably cooperate with respect to any such audit. Any such audit shall be conducted with at least 30 days’ notice, during regular business hours online or at Customer’s facilities and shall not unreasonably interfere with Customer’s business. If the audit indicates a discrepancy in the fees payable to Uniform greater than 5% of the amount paid by Customer for the period audited, Customer shall pay Uniform’s reasonable expenses of the audit in addition to any additional fees due.

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.2, all information disclosed by one party to the other party during the term of this Agreement that is identified in writing at the time of disclosure as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of the disclosure, whether in oral, written, graphic or electronic form, shall be deemed to be “Confidential Information”. The existence and terms of this Agreement are Confidential Information of both parties.

Information will not be considered Confidential Information if the receiving party can establish by documentary evidence that the information is or was:  publicly available through no act or omission of the receiving party;  in the receiving party’s lawful possession prior to disclosure by the disclosing party and not obtained either directly or indirectly from the disclosing party;  lawfully disclosed to the receiving party by a third party without restriction on disclosure; or independently developed by the receiving party without use of or access to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information.

The parties agree, both during the term of this Agreement and for a period of five years (and with respect to Confidential Information that is: (a) a trade secret for an indefinite period, and (b) Personal Data for the period required by applicable law) after its termination, to hold each other’s Confidential Information in confidence and not to disclose such information in any form to any third party without the express written consent of the disclosing party, except to employees and service providers performing services for the benefit of the receiving party who are under a written non-disclosure agreement protecting the applicable Confidential Information in a manner no less restrictive than this Agreement. Each party agrees to take all reasonable steps to ensure that Confidential Information is not disclosed or distributed by its employees or agents in violation of this Agreement. A receiving party facing legal action to disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party shall, to the extent permitted, promptly notify and provide the disclosing party the opportunity to oppose such disclosure or obtain a protective order and shall continue to treat such information as Confidential Information. This Section 6.3 shall not be construed as granting or conferring any rights to either party by license or otherwise, expressly or implicitly, to any Confidential Information.

Each of Uniform and Customer represents and warrants that:  it has the full right, power and authority to enter into and fully perform this Agreement;  the person signing this Agreement on its behalf is a duly authorized representative of such party who has in fact been authorized to execute this Agreement;  its entry herein does not violate any other agreement by which it is bound; and  it is a legal entity in good standing in the jurisdiction of its formation and shall continuously remain in good standing during the term of this Agreement.

Uniform will maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Customer Data. Those safeguards will include, but will not be limited to, measures for preventing access, use, modification or disclosure of Customer Data by Uniform personnel except (a) to provide the Service and to prevent or address service or technical problems, or (b) as Customer expressly permits in writing.

Uniform is not obligated to correct errors caused: by unauthorized modification to the Service, if Customer uses the Service other than as described in the documentation, by non-Uniform software or services, or by combining the Service with any other hardware or Service not authorized by Uniform in writing.

THE WARRANTIES ABOVE ARE THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES REGARDING THE SERVICE AND ARE GIVEN IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OF UNIFORM, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING NON-INFRINGEMENT AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

UNIFORM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT THE FEATURES OR FUNCTIONALITIES OF THE SERVICE WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE OR THAT ALL ERRORS IN THE SERVICE OR DOCUMENTATION WILL BE CORRECTED. UNIFORM SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DETERMINING THAT CUSTOMER’S PROPOSED USE OF THE SERVICE COMPLIES WITH APPLICABLE LAWS IN CUSTOMER’S JURISDICTION(S).

Uniform at its own expense will defend, indemnify and hold Customer and its Related Parties against all liabilities, damages, fines, judgments, settlements, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) (“Costs”) arising from or relating to claims, demands, suits, actions or proceedings made or brought by third parties against Customer and its Related Parties (collectively, “Claims”) alleging that the Service infringes such third party’s trademark or copyright arising under the laws of the United States, or that Vendor misappropriated such third party’s trade secrets in the development of the Service. “Related Parties” means Affiliates, successors, assigns, members, shareholders, officers, directors and agents of Uniform or Customer, as applicable.

If Uniform believes the Service, or any part thereof, may be the subject of an infringement or a misappropriation claim as to which this Section 8.1 applies, Uniform may, in its discretion and at its sole expense: (1) procure for Customer the right to continue using such Service or any applicable part thereof, (2) modify or replace the Service so as to make it non-infringing, or (3) terminate this Agreement and refund to Customer any unused prepaid fees for periods following the termination date. This section 8.1 states Uniform’s sole liability to, and Customer’s exclusive remedy for intellectual property infringement claims of any kind in connection with the Service.

Uniform shall not have any indemnification obligation pursuant to this Agreement to the extent a Claim is based on:  use of any version of the Service other than the then-current, unaltered version, if infringement would have been avoided by use of a current, unaltered version thereof that has been made available to Customer;  use of the Service in violation of this Agreement;  modifications to the Service made by Customer;  where Customer continues to use the Service after being notified of allegedly infringing activity or being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement; or  a third party service or Customer Data.

Customer at its own expense will defend, indemnify and hold Uniform and its Related Parties harmless against any liabilities, damages, fines, judgments, settlements, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) arising out of Claims made or brought by anyone other than an Uniform Related Party alleging misappropriation, misuse or breach of applicable law related to Customer Data.

Promptly after a party seeking indemnification obtains knowledge of the existence or commencement of a Claim, the party to be indemnified will notify the other party of the Claim in writing; provided however, that the indemnifying party’s indemnity obligations will be waived only if and to the extent that its ability to conduct the defense are materially prejudiced by this failure to give notice. The indemnifying party will assume the sole control of defense and settlement of the Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party at the indemnifying party’s risk and expense; provided, however, the indemnified party  may join in the defense and settlement of the Claim and employ counsel at its own expense, and  will reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense and settlement of the Claim. The indemnifying party may not settle any Claim without the indemnified party’s written consent unless the settlement (x) includes a release of all covered claims pending against the indemnified party; (y) contains no admission of liability or wrongdoing by the indemnified party; and (z) imposes no obligations upon the indemnified party other than an obligation to stop using any infringing items. If both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party are named parties in any action relating to the Claim and the counsel chosen by the indemnifying party cannot represent both the indemnified party and indemnifying party due to any present or potential conflict in representing the interests of both of them, then the indemnifying party will retain separate counsel for the indemnified party.

This Section 8 states the entire liability of the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy with respect to all Claims described in this section.

In no event shall either party or its agents and suppliers (including their directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and suppliers) be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, including without limitation procurement of substitute products or services or loss of profits, revenue, data or data use, even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in this Agreement will limit Customer’s liability for misappropriation of Uniform’s intellectual property rights in the Service.

The aggregate, cumulative liability of each party (including its directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and suppliers) under this Agreement shall be limited to the Fees paid or payable by Customer to Uniform during the twelve month period prior to the event giving rise to any claim, or $100 if Customer is using a trial of a Service. The foregoing shall not limit Customer’s payment obligations.

The provisions of this Agreement fairly allocate the risks between Uniform, on the one hand, and Customer on the other. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the pricing reflects this allocation of risk and the limitation of liability specified herein, and that Uniform would not enter into this Agreement without such allocation and limitation.

This Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues until terminated as provided below.

Either party may terminate this Agreement (including all related Order Forms) if the other party:  fails to cure any material breach of this Agreement within 30 days after written notice of such breach;  ceases operation without a successor; or  seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors arrangement, composition or comparable proceeding, or if any such proceeding is instituted against such party (and not dismissed within 60 days). Termination is not an exclusive remedy and the exercise by either party of any remedy under this Agreement will be without prejudice to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement, by law, or otherwise.

Immediately on termination of this Agreement, Customer shall cease all use of the Service. Within ten business days following the termination date, Customer shall, at Uniform’s option, return to Uniform or destroy (and certify to Uniform in writing as to such destruction) all copies materials embodying or reflecting the Service, documentation and any other Uniform Confidential Information. On termination or expiration of this Agreement or an Order Form other than termination by Customer for Uniform’s breach, Customer will immediately pay Uniform, as liquidated damages based on the varying levels of effort required over time to maintain Customer’s subscription, the remaining balance (if any) identified on the Order Form for the remainder of the subscription term.

Sections 2.4 through 3.4 and 5 through 12 of this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement; provided that Sections 7 and 8 shall only survive to the extent applicable to claims, other than with respect to confidentiality obligations, arising prior to the termination date.

This section is applicable only if Customer is a US government agency or a contractor to a US government agency. The Software and any related documentation contain commercial computer software and documentation which are proprietary data belonging solely to Uniform and its licensors. Pursuant to DFARS 227.7202 or FAR 12.212, as applicable, the U.S. Government's right to use, reproduce or disclose the Software and any related documentation acquired under this Agreement is subject to the restrictions of this Agreement.

This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements and communications relating to the subject matter hereof, including any NDAs or confidentiality agreements entered previously. If any provision of this Agreement is adjudicated invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect and the Agreement will be amended to the minimum extent necessary to achieve, to the maximum extent possible, the same legal and commercial effect originally intended by the parties. This Agreement shall supersede the terms of any purchase order or other business form. If accepted by Uniform in lieu of or in addition to Uniform’s Order Form, Customer’s purchase order shall be binding only as to the following terms:  the Service ordered and the appropriately calculated fees due. Other terms shall be void.

This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the other party’s prior written consent, whether by operation of law or otherwise, except that either party may assign this Agreement to its successor in the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such party. Any other purported assignment shall be void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.

Neither party shall be liable to the other for its failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, except for payment obligations, during any period in which such performance is delayed or rendered impracticable or impossible due to unforeseen circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

No supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding, unless executed in writing by a duly authorized representative of each party. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under this Agreement, nor will any waiver be effective unless in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative on behalf of the party claimed to have waived. This Agreement may be executed electronically or by written signature and delivered in multiple versions, including facsimile, PDF, or other electronic counterparts, all of which will constitute one and the same instrument and agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, United States of America without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. This Agreement shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods or the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act. Any legal action relating to this Agreement will be brought in the federal or state courts in the Northern District of California, U.S.A., and the parties agree to the exercise of jurisdiction by such courts. In the event of any action, suit or proceeding related to this Agreement, the prevailing party, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available, shall be entitled to receive reimbursement of reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and court costs.

All notices must be in writing and sent to Customer at the address provided on the Order Form and to Uniform at 2140 Hyde St., Apt 404, San Francisco, CA 94109. Either party may update its address as described in this paragraph. Notices will be deemed delivered when: (a) verified by written receipt if sent by personal courier, overnight courier, or postal mail; or (b) confirmed or replied to by the recipient if sent by email.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between Customer and Uniform.
