5. OWNERSHIP AND PRIVACY

1. Ownership of the Service. Customer acknowledges that: (a) the Service and the Site contain proprietary and confidential information that is protected by applicable United States and international intellectual property laws; (b) Peer39 and/or its third party licensors own all right, title and interest, including, without limitation, all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Service, the Site, any content that may be presented or accessed through the Service or the Site, and all transactional, performance, and other data derived from the use of the Service or the Site; and (c) Customer’s access to the Service and the Site is licensed and not sold. Unless otherwise expressly stated in writing by Peer39, these terms grant Customer only a limited, non-sublicensable license to access and use the licensed portions of the Service for its internal business use only, and Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that no title or ownership in the Service is being transferred or assigned hereunder, and these Terms shall not be construed as a sale of any rights in the Service or any Peer39 Intellectual Property Rights. All rights not specifically granted under these Terms are reserved to Peer39 and its licensors.

2. Customer Grant is Non-Exclusive; Other License Terms. Customer acknowledges that the limited license right granted to Customer to access and use the Service is non-exclusive, with absolutely no limitation on Peer39’s ability to provide to any other parties the right to access and use the Service, including, without limitation, Customer’s competitors. Except as expressly agreed otherwise, Peer39 can terminate this license at any time, without notice, including where we reasonably consider that: (a) your use of the Service violates these Terms, any other contract between Customer and Peer39, or applicable law; (b) you fraudulently use or misuse the Service; or (c) we are unable to continue providing the Service to you due to technical or legitimate business reasons.

3. Customer Data. Customer, not Peer39, shall have sole responsibility for the contents, accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, appropriateness, and intellectual property ownership or right to use of all Customer Data, and Peer39 shall not be responsible or liable for Customer’s use of the Customer Data in, or in connection with, the Service, or for the deletion, correction, destruction, damage, loss, or failure to store any Customer Data. Peer39 reserves the right to withhold, remove and/or discard Customer Data without prior notice to Customer for any reason, including, without limitation, Customer’s breach of these Terms or non-payment of applicable fees.

4. Access to Customer Data. Upon termination of Customer’s access to the Service for any reason, Customer’s right to access or use Customer Data in the Service immediately ceases, and Peer39 shall have no obligation to maintain or forward any Customer Data. Peer39 may, in its sole discretion, charge a fee to store and provide Customer with access to its Customer Data after termination.

5. Security Standard. As part of the Service, Peer39 will implement reasonable security procedures consistent with prevailing industry standards to protect Customer Data from unauthorized access (the “Security Standard”). Provided that Peer39 is in compliance with the Security Standard and is not otherwise negligent, the parties agree that Peer39 shall not, under any circumstances, be held responsible or liable for (a) situations where data or transmissions are accessed (i) by third parties through illegal or illicit means; or (ii) through the exploitation of security gaps, weaknesses, or flaws unknown to Peer39 at the time; or (b) any other matter beyond Peer39’s reasonable control. Peer39 will report to Customer any unauthorized access to Customer Data, and Peer39 will use diligent efforts to promptly remedy any breach of security that resulted in such unauthorized access. In the event notification to persons included in such Customer Data is required, Customer shall be solely responsible for any and all such notifications, at Customer’s sole cost and expense.

6. Retention of Customer Data. Peer39 shall maintain Customer Data only through the Service Period as set forth above. Peer39 routinely backs-up Customer Data on at least a daily basis. Nevertheless, Customer acknowledges that it is assuming the risk that Customer Data may be lost due to any cause, and therefore Customer is solely responsible for backing up Customer Data throughout the Service Period.

7. Limitations on Privacy. Peer39 shall take commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of and to avoid disclosure to third parties of any Customer Data. Peer39 will not monitor, edit, or disclose any Customer Data without Customer’s prior consent (which may be provided via Customer’s settings in the Service which are intended to effect a disclosure of Customer Data to third parties), unless Peer39 has a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with legal process or other legal requirements of any governmental authority; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Peer39; (c) enforce these Terms; (d) protect the interests of users of the Service other than Customer; or (e) operate or conduct maintenance and repair of Peer39’s services or equipment.

3. Personal Information. Customer acknowledges that, other than the information required by the Service to set up and maintain individual access credentials for Customer’s Administrative User and Authorized Users, it will not include in Customer Data uploaded into the Service or use the Service to capture, disseminate, store or transmit any personal information or personal data (or similar terms, each as defined under applicable data protection or privacy laws) of individual persons, including “Protected Health Information” (including Self-Reported Information and Genetic Information) as such terms are defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.

In the event a request is made for Customer to disclose the Peer39 Materials or any related materials or information to a third party, Customer promptly shall give written notice to Peer39 identifying the requesting persons or entities and, if known to Customer, stating the reasons such requests have been made. Peer39 shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion whether the requested disclosures may be made, and if not, what action to take. Any use of the Service or the Peer39 Materials except as specifically authorized in these Terms, without the prior written permission of Peer39, is strictly prohibited and may violate civil or criminal laws, including laws protecting Intellectual Property Rights or other laws. Unless explicitly stated in these Terms, nothing in them shall be interpreted as conferring any license to Intellectual Property Rights, whether by estoppel, implication or other legal principles.

6. Proprietary Notices.

Peer39 will not be held responsible for: (a) any fault, inaccuracy, omission, delay or any other failure in the Service; (b) any errors or inaccuracies in any Customer Data; (c) service interruptions due to factors representing inherent risks associated with the use of electronic communications, including network interruptions (including the internet), communications failures, third party server downtime, power outages or system failures; or (d) any unauthorized access to, use of, alteration of or deletion, destruction, damage or loss of Customer Data. Peer39 may discontinue any aspect of the Service, or may change the nature, features, functions, scope or operation of the Service, at any time. Peer39 also does not in any way make any promises or warranties that the Service will be provided in an uninterrupted manner, error-free or free from harmful components. In addition, Peer39 makes no promises that the Service will meet Customer’s requirements or expectations or that Customer will achieve any particular result from using the Service. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer is not using the Service or agreeing to these Terms in reliance on any promises (whether innocent or negligent) except as expressly set out in these Terms.

2. Disclaimer of Actions of Third Parties. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Peer39 does not and cannot control the flow of data to or from the Peer39 Materials and other portions of the Internet. Such flow of data depends on the performance of Internet services provided or controlled by third parties. At times, actions or inactions of such third parties can impair or disrupt Customer’s connections to the Internet (or portions thereof), including the Service. Although Peer39 will use commercially reasonable efforts to take actions it deems appropriate to remedy and avoid such events, Peer39 cannot guarantee that such events will not occur. PEER39 DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RESULTING FROM OR RELATED TO THE PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF INTERNET SERVICES PROVIDED OR CONTROLLED BY THIRD PARTIES.

3. LIMITATION OF SPECIAL DAMAGES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.5 BELOW, IN NO EVENT (EXCLUDING THE EVENT OF BREACH OF SECTION 5, 6 OR 8 OF THESE TERMS) WILL EITHER PARTY OR ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR SAVINGS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA) THAT MAY BE SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY, WHETHER THE SAME ARISE IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF THE RELEVANT PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED SPECIFICALLY OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE OR ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE, OR THE BREACH OF ANY PROVISION OF THESE TERMS.

4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL PEER39’S LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID TO PEER39 BY CUSTOMER FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE EVENTS GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

5. EXCEPTIONS. THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 9 AND ELSEWHERE IN THESE TERMS WILL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSABLE AT LAW, BUT NEITHER PARTY WILL EXCLUDE OR LIMIT LIABILITY FOR: (a) DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY ITS NEGLIGENCE OR THAT OF ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS OR AGENTS ACTING IN THE COURSE OF THEIR DUTIES; (b) FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION; OR (c) ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT MAY NOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

6. LIMITATIONS ARE FUNDAMENTAL CONSIDERATION FOR THE SERVICE. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT PEER39 HAS OFFERED THE SERVICE, PEER39 MATERIALS AND OTHER CONTENT AND INFORMATION, SET ITS PRICES (IF ANY), AND ENTERED INTO THESE TERMS IN RELIANCE UPON THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN, THAT THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN REFLECT A REASONABLE AND FAIR ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN YOU AND PEER39, AND THAT THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND PEER39. PEER39 WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE TO YOU ON AN ECONOMICALLY REASONABLE BASIS WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS.

10. INDEMNIFICATION

1. Customer Indemnification of Peer39. Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Peer39 and its owners, officers, directors, managers, employees and agents against any and all losses, costs, damages or liabilities, including, without limitation, legal fees, costs and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of any claim, suit, action or other proceeding (“Claim”) brought against any of them by a third party, to the extent that such Claim is based on or arises in connection with (a) Customer’s use of the Service; (b) the Customer Data, (c) the use of the Service by any person using Customer’s Account; or (d) a violation of these Terms by Customer or any person using Customer’s Account.

2. Peer39 Indemnification of Customer. Peer39 shall indemnify, defend and hold Customer harmless against any and all Losses arising out of any Claim brought against Customer by a third party, to the extent that such Claim is based on or arises in connection with a claim that all or any portion of the Service, and use thereof in accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth in these Terms, infringes any Intellectual Property Rights of a third party. The foregoing obligations are conditioned on Customer: (a) notifying Peer39 promptly in writing of such Claim; (b) giving Peer39 sole control of the defense of such Claim and any related settlement negotiations; and (c) cooperating and, at Peer39’s request and expense, assisting in such defense. Customer shall have the right to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement, at Customer’s sole cost and expense. Without limitation of the foregoing, if the Service becomes, or in Peer39’s sole opinion is likely to become, the subject of an infringement Claim, Peer39 may, at its option and expense: (i) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Service; (ii) replace or modify the Service so that it becomes non-infringing; or (iii) terminate Customer’s access to and use of the Service, in whole or in part, as appropriate, upon written notice to Customer and refund Customer any fee pre-paid in respect of the Service upon such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Peer39 will be relieved of its obligation under this Section 10.2 to the extent that any third party Claim is based upon: (A) any use of the Service not in accordance with these Terms or the terms of any other contract between Customer and Peer39; (B) any use of the Service in combination with products, equipment, software, services or data not supplied by Peer39 if such infringement would have been avoided but for the combination with other products, equipment, software or data; (C) any use of any release of the Service other than the most current release made available to Customer; or (D) any unauthorized modification of the Service by Customer or its agents or subcontractors. THIS SECTION 10.2 STATES PEER39’S ENTIRE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT.

11. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES BY ARBITRATION

1. Arbitration of Claims. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to these Terms or Customer’s use of the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that either Customer or Peer39 may assert claims in small claims court if the claims qualify. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms as a court would. The arbitration shall be held using JAMS in New York, NY and shall be before one arbitrator, who shall be chosen from a panel of arbitrators selected by JAMS. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon Customer and Peer39 and judgment upon such award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The costs of the arbitrators and of the arbitration shall be borne one-half by each of the parties. The costs of each party’s counsel, accountants, etc., as well as any costs solely for their benefit, shall be borne separately by each party (subject to the right of recovery of attorneys’ fees by the prevailing party pursuant to these Terms).

2. Customer Acknowledgments. Customer hereby acknowledges that these arbitration provisions constitute a waiver of Customer’s right to commence a lawsuit in any jurisdiction with respect to the matters which are required to be settled by arbitration as provided in these Terms. The foregoing arbitration provisions shall not preclude any party from seeking equitable or interim relief in a court of law and the parties agree that the courts located in New York, NY, shall be the appropriate venue for obtaining such equitable or interim relief.

12. NOTICES

3. Updates to Notice Information. It shall be the responsibility of Customer to update Peer39 regarding any changes to Customer’s notice information. Customer acknowledges that any notice provided by Peer39 to Customer in accordance with these Terms will be deemed delivered to Customer whether or not Customer actually receives such notice.

13. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

1. GOVERNING LAW. THESE TERMS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW RULE OR PRINCIPLE THAT MIGHT RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
2. United States Government Rights. If the use of the Service is being acquired by or on behalf of the United States Government or by a U.S. Government prime contractor or subcontractor (at any tier), in accordance with 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-4 (for Department of Defense (DOD) acquisitions) and 48 C.F.R. 2.101 and 12.212 (for non-DOD acquisitions), the Government’s rights in the Service, including its rights to use, modify, reproduce, release, perform, display, or disclose the Peer39 Materials, shall be subject in all respects to the commercial license rights and restrictions provided in these Terms.
3. Entire Agreement. These Terms, along with, where applicable, the terms of any other contract between Customer and Peer39 that references these Terms, constitute the entire understanding of Peer39 and Customer pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions of the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof. For the sake of clarity, these Terms shall be interpreted to supplement and be complementary with the terms of any other contract between Customer and Peer39 for the use of Peer39 services; provided, however, if these Terms conflict with the terms of such other contracts, the other contracts shall control to the extent of such conflict, but solely with respect to the subject matter of such other contract.
4. Modifications. Peer39 may modify these Terms at any time by posting such modification on the Site or by notifying Customer by email, and such revised Terms will supersede and replace all earlier versions.
5. Binding Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
6. Assignment. Peer39 may assign the Service and all of its rights and obligations under these Terms to any successor to its business pursuant to any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of Peer39’s assets or business, or similar transaction. Customer may not assign these Terms or any of its rights or obligations under these Terms, or delegate any of its duties or obligations under hem, without the prior written consent of Peer39, which consent shall be contingent upon such restrictions or requirements upon any such assignee or delegate as Peer39 may, in its sole and absolute discretion, deem necessary.
7. Trade Compliance. In connection with these Terms, each party will comply with all applicable import, re-import, sanctions, anti-boycott, export, and re-export control laws and regulations, including all such laws and regulations that apply to a United States company, such as the Export Administration Regulations, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, and economic sanctions programs implemented by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. Customer represents and warrants that Customer and Customer’s financial institutions, or any party that owns or controls Customer or Customer’s financial institutions, are not subject to sanctions or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties, including but not limited to the lists maintained by the United Nations Security Council, the U.S. Government (e.g., the Specially Designated Nationals List and Foreign Sanctions Evaders List of the U.S. Department of Treasury, and the Entity List of the U.S. Department of Commerce), the European Union or its Member States, or other applicable government authority.
8. No Waivers. No failure or delay by a party to enforce any provision hereof or to exercise any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. Any waiver by a party of a breach or violation of any provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of any subsequent breach or violation. Any waiver must be in writing by the party from whom the waiver is sought and specifically reference the provision being waived to be effective.
9. Independent Contractors. Customer and Peer39 are independent contractors and these Terms will not be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship. Neither party, nor any of their respective affiliates, is an agent of the other for any purpose or has the authority to bind the other.
10. Force Majeure. In the event of any act of God, war, terrorism, mobilization, governmental regulation, strike, lockout, drought, flood, total or partial fire, technological or infrastructure attack or degradation, or other contingences or causes beyond Peer39’s reasonable control that might prevent the provision of the Service (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), performance of Peer39’s obligations may be suspended for the duration of such Force Majeure upon notice to Customer, without Peer39 being responsible to Customer for any damages or losses resulting from such suspension.
11. Captions. The captions in these Terms are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the interpretation or construction of these Terms or any provision hereof.
12. Interpretation. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in these Terms shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation. Reference to any agreement, document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and, if applicable, hereof. The use of the words “or,” “either” and “any” shall not be exclusive. Wherever a conflict exists between these Terms and any other agreement, these Terms shall control unless an express intent to vary or amend these Terms is expressed in such other agreement, but solely to the extent of such conflict. Any variation of these Terms must be signed by an authorized executive of Peer39 to be binding upon Peer39.
13. Drafting. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, the language in all parts of these Terms shall be interpreted, in all cases, according to its fair meaning and not for or against any party hereto. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of these Terms.
