Way2B1 software service terms and conditions
Effective Date: July 2024
Way2B1 HAS COMPLETE DISCRETION TO UPDATE AND CHANGE THE SOFTWARE SERVICES AGREEMENT FROM TIME TO TIME AND TO CHANGE THE SCOPE OR FEATURES OF THE SOFTWARE SERVICES FROM TIME TO TIME. Way2B1 MAY MAKE SUCH CHANGES WITHOUT NOTICE. IF YOU CONTINUE TO USE THE SOFTWARE SERVICES AFTER ANY SUCH CHANGES, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU WILL BE CONSIDERED TO HAVE CONSENTED TO THEM.
1. Provision of software services
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Way2B1 shall provide certain software services as specified in the Order Form to which these terms and conditions are attached (the “Software Services”) and user documentation, if any, provided by Way2B1 on the use of Software Services (“Documentation”) to Client and certain individuals or entities that are authorized to use the Software Services (“Authorized Users”). For clarification, Documentation means the official user documentation provided by Way2B1 to Client on the use of the Software Services. Any installation guide or end user documentation not prepared or provided by Way2B1; any online community site; unofficial documentation, videos, white papers, or related media; or feedback does not constitute Documentation.
Way2B1 hereby grants Foundation and Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable license to access and use the Software Services and Documentation during the Term (defined below) provided Client complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
If the Software Services and Documentation are provided to Client for evaluation purposes, Way2B1 grants to Foundation and Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and royalty-free evaluation license to use the Software Services solely for evaluation prior to purchase (“Evaluation License''). The Evaluation License shall terminate on the end date of the predetermined evaluation period or immediately upon notice from Way2B1, at its sole discretion. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, Software Services provided pursuant to an Evaluation License are provided to Client “AS IS'' without indemnification, support, or warranty of any kind, express or implied. Except to the extent such terms conflict with the specific evaluation terms set forth in the Section, all other terms of this Software Services Agreement shall apply to the Software Services under an Evaluation License.
The Software Services utilizes SMS and email notifications to communicate updates, alerts, and information to Client and its Authorized Users. Client acknowledges and agrees that data rates, charges, and fees may apply for Client’s and its Authorized Users’ mobile carrier or Internet Service Provider (ISP) for receiving these notifications and that such charges are Client’s responsibility. If Client or its Authorized Users no longer wish to receive SMS or email notifications from Way2B1, Client and its Authorized Users have the option to opt-out at any time. Client can manage its notification preferences by accessing its account settings or by replying STOP to any SMS message. Please note that opting out of these notifications may impact Client’s ability to receive timely updates and information related to the Software Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client will be able to opt-out of messages that are considered necessary for the Software Services, such as digital receipts and emails that alert Client and its Authorized Users to changes in their account's status.
2. Client's obligations; License restrictions
Client will (i) be responsible for its and its Authorized Users’ compliance with this Agreement; (ii) be solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, integrity, and legality of Client Data (defined below) and means relating to acquisition of the Client Data; (iii) maintain the security of Client's account, passwords (including administrative and user passwords) and files, and for all uses of Client's account; (iv) not provide, make available to, or permit other individuals to use or access the Software Services, except under the terms listed herein, that Client will responsible for any unauthorized activity of the Software Services and, once aware of any unauthorized activity of the Software Services, will immediately notify Way2B1 of unauthorized access and the use of the Platform; (v) perform periodic reviews of user access to client's account; (vi) remove Personal Identifiable Information “PII” irrelevant to the request from the names of documents or document contents when submitting documents to the Way2B1 help desk; (vii) remove Personal Identifiable Information “PII” from the names of documents when uploading documents to the Way2B1 platform; (viii) report issues or security concerns related to the Platform to Way2B1 in a timely manner; (ix) read the release notes and product update literature that is either communicated to administrative users or provided on the Way2B1 application; (x) not sell, resell, rent, or lease the Software Services; (xi) not modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, create derivative works, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Software Services; (xii) not remove any proprietary notices or labels on the Software Services; (xiii) not license the Software Services if Client (or any of its Authorized Users) is a direct competitor of Way2B1 or its affiliated entities for the purposes of monitoring the Software Service’s availability, performance, or functionality or for any other benchmarking or competitive purposes; (xiv) not knowingly use the Software Services to store or transmit infringing, libelous, unlawful, or tortious material or to store or transmit material in violation of third party privacy rights; (xv) not knowingly use the Software Services to store or transmit malicious code; or (xvi) not knowingly interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Software Services.
3. Fees & payment
Client’s Obligations; License Restrictions. All orders placed will be considered final. Fees will be due and payable as set forth in the terms of this Agreement or otherwise conveyed to you during the order process. Fees for any Renewal Term shall be at Way2B1’s then standard rates, currently in effect, or if applicable, as otherwise set forth on the web site or otherwise conveyed to you by Way2B1. If Client fails to pay in accordance with the payment terms, Way2B1 shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, (i) to suspend provision of the Software Services temporarily until Client fulfills its pending obligations or (ii) to terminate this Agreement for breach. Unless otherwise stated, all payments made under this Agreement shall be in United States dollars. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, fees are non-refundable.
If Client’s use of the Software Services exceeds the Service Capacity set forth in the Order Form or otherwise requires the payment of additional fees (per the terms of this Agreement), Client shall be billed for such usage and Client agrees to pay the additional fees in the manner provided herein. Way2B1 reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and Fees at the end of the Initial Service Term (as defined below) or then-current Renewal Term, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Client (which may be sent by email). If Client believes that Way2B1 has billed Client incorrectly, Client will use reasonable efforts to contact Way2B1 no later than ninety (90) days after the date on which Client received the billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to Way2B1’s support department.
If Client elects to contract with Way2B1 for Professional Services or Implementation Services, these services will be set forth in a separate Statement of Work and invoiced separately. If a retainer is due for Professional Services, it shall be paid within ten (10) business days following Way2B1’s invoice submitted upon execution of the contract or subsequent contract addendum.
Way2B1 may choose to bill through an invoice, in which case, full payment for invoices issued in any given month must be received and paid per terms outlined in the invoice by the date specified on the invoice; provided, that such payment terms shall in each case be at least thirty (30) days following Client’s receipt of an undisputed invoice.
4. User licenses
Client may, at any time during the Term, increase or decrease the number of users of the service. Authorized Users who are requested to have their access revoked will lose access to the site. Way2B1 will make reasonable attempt to remove access to revoked user(s) upon receiving the request through the proper channel. Any delay revoking the access due to time or day, day of the week, failure of the client to communicate request through the proper channel will not constitute a breach of responsibility by Way2B1. The monthly billing will be determined by the number of user licenses on the first calendar day of the month. Authorized Users who have their account revoked will incur licensing charges for the month in which their access was revoked.
Way2B1 user accounts on a Client workspace will be considered Authorized Users of the Software Services but will not count towards the total user license count (from a billing perspective). The Client is responsible for the administration of all user credentials, the capabilities of all user credentials, and the permissioning of those user credentials using standard application controls. This includes Way2B1 App Support accounts. New users added to the system will be billed for the month in which the account was created.
5. Taxes
Client’s Obligations; License Restrictions. All orders placed will be considered final. Fees will be due and payable as set forth in the terms of this Agreement or otherwise conveyed to you during the order process. Fees for any Renewal Term shall be at Way2B1’s then standard rates, currently in effect, or if applicable, as otherwise set forth on the web site or otherwise conveyed to you by Way2B1. If Client fails to pay in accordance with the payment terms, Way2B1 shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, (i) to suspend provision of the Software Services temporarily until Client fulfills its pending obligations or (ii) to terminate this Agreement for breach. Unless otherwise stated, all payments made under this Agreement shall be in United States dollars. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, fees are non-refundable.
If Client’s use of the Software Services exceeds the Service Capacity set forth in the Order Form or otherwise requires the payment of additional fees (per the terms of this Agreement), Client shall be billed for such usage and Client agrees to pay the additional fees in the manner provided herein. Way2B1 reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and Fees at the end of the Initial Service Term (as defined below) or then-current Renewal Term, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Client (which may be sent by email). If Client believes that Way2B1 has billed Client incorrectly, Client will use reasonable efforts to contact Way2B1 no later than ninety (90) days after the date on which Client received the billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to Way2B1’s support department.
If Client elects to contract with Way2B1 for Professional Services or Implementation Services, these services will be set forth in a separate Statement of Work and invoiced separately. If a retainer is due for Professional Services, it shall be paid within ten (10) business days following Way2B1’s invoice submitted upon execution of the contract or subsequent contract addendum.
Way2B1 may choose to bill through an invoice, in which case, full payment for invoices issued in any given month must be received and paid per terms outlined in the invoice by the date specified on the invoice; provided, that such payment terms shall in each case be at least thirty (30) days following Client’s receipt of an undisputed invoice.
6. Term & termination
Term Unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Section, this Agreement will begin on the Effective Date and will continue until the end of the period specified in the applicable quote or order form for the Software Services (the “Initial Service Term”) and shall be automatically renewed for additional terms of the same duration as the Initial Service Term (each, a “Renewal Term”, collectively with the Initial Service Term, the “Term”) unless a party gives the other party at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of non-renewal prior to the end of the Initial Service Term or the then-current Renewal Term (if any) where then the Agreement shall expire at the end of the Term.
Termination. Client may terminate this Agreement prior to expiration of the then-current Term at any time upon notice to Way2B1. Way2B1 may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days prior written notice, or immediately if the Client becomes subject to bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors, the Client infringes or misappropriates Way2B1’s intellectual property, or breaches the License Restrictions or Confidentiality provision set forth herein.
Effect of Termination. Termination shall not relieve Client of the obligation to pay any fees or other amounts accrued or payable to Way2B1 through the end of the then-current Term. Client shall not receive a credit or refund for any fees or payments made prior to termination. Sections 3 through 12 and 14 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. Further, Way2B1 will: (i) provide the transition assistance, as further described below; and (ii) continue to perform and be responsible for any and all of its surviving obligations and responsibilities, including, without limitation, Way2B1’s indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement and all damages related thereto. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, Client shall be entitled to continued provision of the Software Services, at Client’s expense and at the annualized rates set forth on the Order, by Way2B1 for a period of time not to exceed six (6) months for client to: (a) wind down its current use of the Software Services; (b) make a transition alternate services providers; or (c) move the Software Services in-house.
Upon Client request, Way2B1 will destroy all remaining Client Data hosted by Way2B1 within ninety (90) days of the request. Client Data may be destroyed at any time following one hundred and eighty (180) days from termination in Way2B1's sole discretion.
7. Client data
Way2B1 agrees that the data and information uploaded by Client (or Authorized Users of Client) that is stored or processed via the Software Services (the “Client Data”) shall be treated as confidential pursuant to Section 8 by Way2B1 and shall remain Client’s sole property. Subject to Client’s immediately revocable consent, Way2B1 and its Subcontractors may access Client Data only as reasonably necessary for Way2B1 to provide the Software Services to Client. Client Data will be made available promptly to Client, upon its request, in the form, and format reasonably requested by Client. For the avoidance of doubt, no Client Data may be sold, assigned, leased, or otherwise disposed of to third parties or commercially exploited by or on behalf of Way2B1. Neither Way2B1 nor any of its Subcontractors (as defined below), as applicable, may possess or assert any lien or other right against or to any Client Data. “Client Personal Information” means any information that, either individually or when combined with other information, could be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity. As between the parties, all Client Personal Information disclosed or otherwise made available to Way2B1 by or on behalf of Client will be considered Client’s property and Client’s Confidential Information (defined below). Way2B1 will restrict access to Client Personal Information on a need-to-know basis. Way2B1 will not disclose Client Personal Information to any third party (including Way2B1’s agents and contractors), nor permit any third party to have access to any Client Personal Information for any purpose except as required by law, or as reasonably necessary to perform the Software Services and in accordance with applicable laws; provided, however, Authorized Users (including for clarity, financial advisors and their representatives if authorized by Client) will be permitted by Way2B1 to access Client Data (including Client Personal Information). Way2B1 may not use, duplicate or retain records of Client Personal Information, except as reasonably necessary to perform the Software Services in accordance with this Agreement. Way2B1 will be responsible at Way2B1’s expense for complying with all applicable laws relating to Client Personal Information.
As part of the Software Services, Way2B1 will establish, implement and maintain a system of safeguards designed to: (i) prevent the destruction, loss, alteration and unauthorized access and use of Client Data in the possession or control of Way2B1 (or its Subcontractors, as applicable); (ii) permit Client Data to be returned to Client or disposed of; and (iii) meet (or exceed) and comply with applicable laws and applicable prevailing industry information security practices and standards, including relevant ISO standards, the standards set forth in the Way2B1 Digital Security and Compliance overview provided to Client, and the then-current SSAE SOC 2 Type II standards ("Information Security Program"). Way2B1 will, and will require its agents and contractors to, regularly test key controls, systems and procedures relating to the Information Security Program. The frequency and nature of such tests will be determined by Way2B1’s risk assessment organization in its reasonable discretion but in any event shall be sufficient to meet the standards and controls of the Information Security Program. Upon request, Way2B1 will provide Client with the results of all such tests and any other audit, review or examination relating to its information Security Program. All such information shall remain Way2B1’s Confidential Information. Way2B1 will notify Client immediately of any known, suspected or attempted unauthorized use, access, loss, disclosure, modification, or destruction of Client Data (each, a "Security Breach"). Way2B1 will promptly investigate each Security Breach, provide Client with a detailed written statement describing the circumstances surrounding each Security Breach, develop and provide a proposed remediation plan to address the Security Breach and prevent any further incidents and implement the proposed remediation plan. In addition, Way2B1 agrees to reasonably cooperate with Client in Client's handling of a Security Breach, including any investigation, reporting, disclosure or other obligations required by applicable law or regulation, or as Client may otherwise require. Way2B1 shall not notify any third party of, or make any public statement regarding, a Security Breach without Client's prior written authorization; provided however, Way2B1 shall be free to notify other Way2B1 clients to the extent that the Security Breach implicates other client data so long as any such notification does not identify Client or Client’s beneficial owner or family members as also being impacted by the Security Breach. Way2B1 shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by Way2B1 and/or Client in responding to and mitigating damages resulting from a Security Breach caused by the negligence or misconduct of Way2B1 or its agents, contractors or employees, including, without limitation, costs and expenses relating to, arising from, or comprised of: (a) any regulatory fines, penalties or other costs imposed by a regulatory authority; (b) public relations and other similar crisis management services as may be reasonably appropriate under the circumstances; (c) legal and accounting fees and expenses associated with Client's investigation of and response to the Security Breach; and (d) reasonable costs arising out of or in connection with any Security Breach resulting in a requirement for legally required notices (collectively "Costs"). The parties shall, in good faith, allocate between themselves Costs related to Security Breaches not caused by the negligence or misconduct of Way2B1 of its agents, contractors or employees.
Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Way2B1 is not responsible for maintaining and protecting backups of all Client Data directly or indirectly processed using the Software Services and that Way2B1 is not responsible for the failure to store, the loss, or the corruption of Client Data. Client agrees that Way2B1 and its affiliated entities will collect and track technical and related information about Client and Client’s use of the Software Services, including Client’s internet protocol address, the hardware and software that Client utilizes, and various usage statistics to assist with the necessary operation and function of the Software Services and for internal purposes only, including without limitation to facilitate in the provision of updates, support, invoicing, marketing by Way2B1, its affiliated entities, or its agents, and research and development, provided that all such data used for Way2B1’s internal purposes shall be anonymous and aggregated such that the applicable data cannot be associated with or used to identify Client or Client’s beneficial owner or family members. In the event that Way2B1 is required or ordered to disclose Client Data to a third party pursuant to judicial order or other compulsion of law, if legally permitted, Way2B1 shall take all commercially reasonable steps to provide the Client with prompt notice of any relevant order or basis for disclosure so as to allow Client to take whatever steps it can to object to such compulsory disclosure if Client so chooses and if requested by Client, Way2B1 shall reasonably assist Client, at Client’s expense, with respect to making any such objection.
Subject to the foregoing, Client agrees that any Client Data made available to Way2B1 through standard application controls can be utilized for the purposes of improving the Software Services, including but not limited to the addition of trained models and other machine learning techniques; provided, that when used for such purposes, the applicable Client Data shall be anonymous and aggregated such that it cannot be associated with or used to identify Client or Client’s beneficial owner or family members (except where agreed upon by both parties).
Way2B1 takes data privacy seriously and we make certain that third-party processor privacy policies align with our commitment to data privacy. We will never allow qualified third-party data and AI processors to retain and utilize Client Data for training, analysis, or internal product development. Our thorough vendor qualification process screens third-party processors to ensure they abide by these terms. We take every precaution to ensure data control is maintained within the Way2B1 platform, while also mitigating any risk with third-party vendors.
Client hereby consents to Way2B1 accessing and processing Client Data, which may include PII, to provide advanced technologies to the direct benefit of the Client. Features and solutions may include, but are not limited to, third party data processors, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and other personalized recommendation features. We take every possible cautionary step to ensure personal PII data is secure.
Way2B1 will be responsible for establishing, implementing, testing, and maintaining an effective business continuity plan to provide continuous access to, and support for, the Software Services to Client without interruption or material degradation of quality. At a minimum, Way2B1 must back up, archive and maintain duplicate or redundant systems that can fully recover the Software Services and all Client Data on a daily basis, and establish and follow procedures and frequency intervals for transmitting backup data and systems to Way2B1’s backup location. Such backup storage and systems will be located at a secure secondary location other than the location of Way2B1 's primary system(s) and Way2B1 tests database backup and restore processed at least annually. In addition to Way2B1’s backup strategy, Way2B1 also maintains multiple database clusters that span across multiple Availability Zones within each Region providing additional layers of high availability. Upon request, Way2B1 will provide Client with a summary copy of Way2B1's business continuity plan.
In the event that, Way2B1 determines that it is likely to become insolvent, or enter into receivership, or may become the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, or may make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or that a substantial part of Way2B1 's property is or becomes subject to any levy, seizure, assignment or sale for or by any creditor or governmental agency, Way2B1 shall immediately notify Client and the parties shall work in good faith to discuss and determine whether there is a mutually agreeable solution to ensure Way2B1's business continuity for the remainder of the Term. If the parties are not able to successfully find a means to ensure Way2B1’s business continuity for the remainder of the Term, Way2B1 will take all commercially reasonable steps to transition and transfer to Client or its designated thirty party service provider all of the Client Data. In addition, Way2B1 shall continue to make the Software Services available through Client's dedicated instance for a period of time for Client to (i) wind down its current use of the Software Services, (ii) make a transition to alternate services providers, or (iii) make a transition in-house.
8. System security
Way2B1 agrees to make every reasonable effort to prevent unauthorized access to all software and systems associated with the Way2B1 platform. Way2B1 is not responsible for unauthorized access and any resulting losses due to negligent, reckless, or intentional malicious Client behavior.
9. Confidentiality
As used in this Agreement, "Confidential Information" means any information, including, without limitation, with respect to Client, Client Personal Information and Client Data, disclosed by either party to the other party, either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or by inspection of tangible objects (i) that the disclosing party identifies as confidential or proprietary (ii) is of a type that a reasonable person would recognize it to be confidential or proprietary given the nature of the information and/or the circumstances of disclosure or (iii) Software Services. For purposes of clarification and without limitation, all information with respect to Client, Client Data, and Client Personal Information shall be “Confidential Information” hereunder, without any separate identification as “confidential” being required. Confidential Information may also include confidential or proprietary information disclosed to a disclosing party by a third party. The receiving party will: (i) hold the disclosing party’s Confidential Information in confidence; (ii) restrict disclosure of such Confidential Information to those of its employees , Subcontractors, and/or agents with a need to know such information and who are bound (i.e., as a condition to their employment or agency) by obligations respecting the protection of confidential information, which are substantially similar to, and no less protective than, those of this Agreement and which would extend to the disclosing party's Confidential Information; (iii) use such Confidential Information only for the purposes for which it was disclosed, unless otherwise set forth herein; and (iv) to the extent applicable, not modify, reverse engineer, decompile, create other works from, or disassemble any such Confidential Information, unless expressly permitted by applicable law without the possibility of contractual waiver or otherwise specified in writing by the disclosing party. The restrictions will not apply to Confidential Information to the extent it is not Client information or Client Personal Information, or information about the beneficial owner of Client or his family members, and (i) was in the public domain at the time of disclosure; (ii) became publicly available after disclosure to the receiving party without breach of this Agreement; (iii) was lawfully received by the receiving party from a third party without such restrictions; (iv) was known to the receiving party, its employees or agents without such restrictions prior to its receipt from the disclosing party; (v) was independently developed by the receiving party without breach of this Agreement; (vi) was generally made available to third parties by the disclosing party without such restriction; or (vii) is required to be disclosed by the receiving party pursuant to judicial order or other compulsion of law, provided that, to the extent legally permissible, the receiving party will provide to the disclosing party prompt notice of such order and comply with any protective order imposed on such disclosure. The parties agree that any material breach of Section 2 or this Section will cause irreparable injury and that injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction will be appropriate to prevent an initial or continuing breach of these Sections in addition to any other relief to the applicable party may be entitled.
10. Proprietary rights
The Software Services are licensed, not sold. Use herein of the word “purchase” in conjunction with licenses of the Software Services shall not imply a transfer of ownership. Except for the limited rights expressly granted by Way2B1 to Client in Section 1, Client acknowledges and agrees that, as between Client and Way2B1, all right, title and interest, including all copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, intellectual property (including but not limited to algorithms and business processes) and other proprietary rights, arising out of or relating to the provision of the Software Services belong exclusively to Way2B1, provided, for the avoidance of doubt, Way2B1 shall not have any right, title or interest in or to the Client Data, which, as between the parties, shall be solely and exclusively owned by Client. Way2B1 is hereby granted a royalty-free, fully-paid, worldwide, exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, irrevocable and perpetual license to use or incorporate into its products and services any information, data, suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations or other feedback provided by Client or its Authorized Users relating to the Software Services. All rights not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved by Way2B1.
11. Warranties
Way2B1 warrants to Client that (a) during the term of the Agreement the Software Services will perform substantially in conformance with the Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be performed by qualified personnel in a timely and professional manner and in accordance with prevailing industry standards and all applicable laws and regulations. Subject to Way2B1’s service level obligations set forth in Section 1, Way2B1 does not warrant that the Software Services will meet all of Client’s requirements or that use of the Software Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, as Way2B1’s and its suppliers’ entire liability, and as Client’s sole and exclusive remedy for a breach of the foregoing warranty, Way2B1 will, at its sole option and expense, promptly repair the Software Services or perform the Professional Services, as applicable.
In addition, Way2B1 represents and warrants that it shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Software Services do not and will not contain or transmit any computer code designed to disrupt, disable, harm, or otherwise impede in any manner, including aesthetical disruptions or distortions, the operation of the Software Services or any Client system (referred to as “viruses” or “worms”). Such efforts shall include, prior to making the Software Services available to Client: (a) using a leading commercially available virus scanning software (updated to obtain all then-current virus signatures) on the Software Services, to detect any such viruses and worms; and (b) in the event any such viruses or worms are so detected, to remove them. Each party warrants that: (i) it has the necessary corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement; (ii) this Agreement does not and will not conflict with any other agreement or understanding to which such party is a party or by which it is bound; and (iii) the person signing this Agreement on such party’s behalf has been duly authorized and empowered to enter into this Agreement.

13. Limit of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, (I) IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY, CONTINGENT OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, STATUTORY OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SOFTWARE SERVICES OR ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, EQUIPMENT FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, INDEMNITY OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH ANY SUCH LIABILITY IS BASED; AND (II) THE ENTIRE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EACH PARTY AND ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES AND THE SOLE REMEDY AVAILABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY IN ANY CASE IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SOFTWARE SERVICES OR ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER SHALL BE LIMITED TO TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND MONETARY DAMAGES THAT IN THE AGGREGATE MAY NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAYABLE OR PAID TO Way2B1 BY CLIENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO AN EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF WAY2B1’S LIABILITY WILL APPLY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO SECTION 7 (CLIENT DATA), SECTION 9 (CONFIDENTIALITY), AND SECTION 14 (INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION) OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ITS WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, ANY FINES OR PENALTIES ASSESSED ON A PARTY UNDER APPLICABLE LAW ARISING OUT OF THE OTHER PARTY’S BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT ARE DIRECT DAMAGES.
14. Intellectual property indemnification
Way2B1 will indemnify and hold Client, its affiliates, users and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (“Client Indemnitees”) harmless from any third party claim brought against Client Indemnitees (a) that the Software Services and any deliverables provided in connection with the Professional Services, in each case as provided by Way2B1 to Client under this Agreement and used or distributed within the scope of this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates any U.S. patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights of a third party, provided (i) use of the Software Services by Client is in conformity with the Agreement and Documentation; (ii) the infringement is not caused by modification or alteration of the Software Services or Documentation (other than modifications or alterations made by Way2B1), except where such modifications or alterations are made by Way2B1 or its authorized representatives, agreed to by Way2B1 in writing, or are necessary for the reasonable use of the Software Services; and/or (iii) the infringement was not caused by a combination or use of the Software Services with products not supplied by Way2B1, except where: (1) such combination is made by Way2B1 or its authorized representatives or agreed to by Way2B1 in writing; (2) such third party programs or products conform to Way2B1’s specific written instructions or specifications and such instructions or specifications cause the Software Services in combination with such third party programs or products to be infringing; or (3) such combination is reasonably contemplated by the applicable Documentation or is necessary or anticipated for the use of the Software Services. With respect to Way2B1 indemnification obligations hereunder (A) Client shall provide Way2B1 prompt notice of the claim received by Client, provided, however, that no failure to so notify Way2B1 shall relieve Way2B1 of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that Way2B1 can demonstrate actual prejudice attributable to such failure; (B) Way2B1 will have sole control of the selection of counsel, defense, and settlement of any such claim; and (C)Client shall provide Way2B1 with reasonable assistance, information and authority required for the defense and settlement of any such claim. This Section states Way2B1’s entire liability (and shall be Client’s sole and exclusive remedy) with respect to indemnification to Client.
Way2B1 has and shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Commercial Liability Insurance with limits that meet or exceed applicable statutory requirements and such other insurance that is standard in the industry for providers of comparable products and services.
15. General
Relationship of the Parties. The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between the parties. Nothing in this Agreement creates an exclusive relationship or in any way prevents Way2B1 from entering into similar arrangements with or providing similar services to other entities, including, without limitation, other similar customers. Client understands and acknowledges that Way2B1 is free to use some or all of the data, information, techniques, methodologies, forms, layouts or results of any of the products or services provided by Way2B1 (except, for clarity, Client Data or any other Client Confidential Information) hereunder in providing products or services to other customers and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit Way2B1’s right to do so.
Third Party Services. If the Client uses any third party service with the Software Services (including services that may use any application programming interface (API) provided by Way2B1), the Client acknowledges that the third party service may access or use the customer’s information. Way2B1 will not be responsible for any act or omission of the third party, including such third party’s use of the customer’s information. The Client agrees to contact the third party service provider for any issues arising from the Client’s use of the third party service. Compliance with Applicable Laws. The Software Services are protected by intellectual property laws and other laws of the United States and international laws and treaties, including intellectual property and export laws. Client agrees that it shall use the Software Services and shall perform all obligations under this Agreement in a manner that complies with all applicable laws applicable to Client and its use of the Software Services and published documentation, including, but not limited to, any and all contractual, statutory, or common law rights and obligations and applicable restrictions concerning intellectual property rights. The Software Services provided to Client hereunder may be subject to U.S. control laws and regulations and may also be subject to other applicable import and export laws. Client agrees that it shall abide by all applicable export control laws, rules and regulations applicable to its use of the Software Services.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the final, complete and exclusive agreement among the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, whether in written, oral, electronic, or other form, relating to the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client acknowledges and agrees that Way2B1’s Terms of Service may be modified by Way2B1 from time to time in accordance therewith provided that Client has been given notice of any such modifications, specifically apply to the Software Services provided hereunder and are binding upon Client and its Authorized Users, provided, however, that any modification by Way2B1 of Way2B1’s Terms of Service that adversely effect Client’s rights or interests under this Agreement require Client’s prior written consent and approval.
Conflicts. In the case of a conflict between a provision in this Agreement and any other Agreement you may enter into with Way2B1, such conflicting provision in the other Agreement controls. Any terms and conditions appearing on a purchase order or similar document issued by the Client do not apply to the Software Services, do not override or form part of this Agreement, and are void.
Subcontractor. Way2B1 is responsible for managing any permitted Subcontractors and is responsible for their acts and omissions to the same extent as if the acts and omissions were those of Way2B1, and for purposes of this Agreement such work shall be deemed performed by Way2B1. Way2B1 will be Client's sole point of contact regarding the Software Services and will be solely responsible for any payments owed to its Subcontractors. Way2B1 shall not disclose any Client Confidential Information to a permitted Subcontractor unless such Subcontractor has agreed in writing to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in a manner substantially equivalent to, and no less protective than, that required of Way2B1 under this Agreement. Way2B1’s agreements with its Subcontractors will contain appropriate provisions to flow down applicable duties and responsibilities of Way2B1 under this Agreement to the Subcontractor.
Waiver. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that right. The waiver of any breach or provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of any different or subsequent breach.
Assignment. Except as permitted herein, neither party may assign this Agreement or transfer any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the other party's prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Either party may, upon providing reasonable prior written notice to the other party but without the other party's consent, assign and delegate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (a) to any of its then current affiliates or (b) in connection with any merger or reorganization involving such party, or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of such party's assets or capital stock. Any assignment or transfer in violation of this Section is void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each party.
Publicity. Neither party may issue any press release or make any public announcement or marketing-related communication to third parties discussing the parties’ relationship under this Agreement or the terms of this Agreement without obtaining the prior, written consent of the other party, in each instance.
Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement is governed by and will be construed using California law, without giving effect to conflict of law provisions or to constructive presumptions favoring either party, except that the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act shall not apply to this Agreement. All actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be heard and determined exclusively by the state and federal courts located in San Francisco, California and the parties hereby consent to and waive any objections with respect to such jurisdiction and venue.
Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. In the event that any provision or portion thereof is found by any court to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected, and the parties consent to such court’s substitution of a valid and enforceable term that approximates the intent and effect of such invalid or unenforceable provision or portion.
