Unless otherwise specified, (a) a User's password may not be shared with any other individual, and (b), a User identification may only be reassigned to a new individual replacing one who will no longer use the Service. If you exceed a contractual usage limit, we may work with you to seek to reduce your usage so that it conforms to that limit. If, notwithstanding our efforts, you are unable or unwilling to abide by a contractual usage limit, you will subscribe to a separate subscription plan for additional quantities of the applicable Services promptly upon our request, and/or pay any invoice for excess usage in accordance with this Agreement.
Your Responsibilities. You will (a) be responsible for a Users' compliance with this Agreement and Services, (b) be responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of Your Data or information provided by you, (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of Services, and notify us promptly of any such unauthorized access or use, and (d) use Services only in accordance with this Agreement, Subscription Plan, and applicable laws and government regulations.
Compliance. As between you and Cubeless, you are responsible for compliance with the provisions of this Agreement by agents and Users and for any and all activities that occur under your account, which Cubeless may verify from time to time. Without limiting the foregoing, you will ensure that your use of the Services is compliant with all applicable laws and regulations as well as any and all privacy notices, agreements, or other obligations you may maintain or enter into with agents or Users.
System Requirements. A high-speed Internet connection is required for proper transmission of the Services. You are responsible for procuring and maintaining the network connections that connect your network to the Services including, but not limited to, browser software that supports protocols used by Cubeless, including the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol or other protocols accepted by Cubeless, and to follow procedures for accessing services that support such protocols. We are not responsible for notifying you, agents, or Users of any upgrades, fixes, or enhancements to any such software or for any compromise of data transmitted across computer networks or telecommunications facilities (including but not limited to the internet) which are not owned, operated, or controlled by Cubeless. We assume no responsibility for the reliability or performance of any connections as described in this paragraph.
6. FEES AND PAYMENT FOR PURCHASED SERVICES
Fees. You will pay all fees in advance as specified in the Subscription Plan opted by you. Except as otherwise specified herein or in the Subscription Plan, (i) fees are based on the Subscription Plan purchased and not actual usage if such usage does not exceed the contractual usage limit, (ii) payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, and (iii) quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term.
Invoicing and Payment. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to us and notifying us of any changes to such information. The invoiced charges are due immediately from the invoice date. You may be provided with a grace period of seven (7) days from the invoice date at our sole discretion.
Overdue Charges. If any invoiced amount is not received by us by the due date and the grace period as mentioned hereinabove, then without limiting our rights or remedies, (a) those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, and/or (b) we may condition future Subscription renewals on different payment terms than those specified in this Agreement.
Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owing by you under this or any other agreement for our Services is seven (7) days overdue, we may, without limiting our other rights and remedies, accelerate your unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend our Services to you until such amounts are paid in full.
Taxes. Unless otherwise designated, our fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with your Subscriptions hereunder. If we have the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which you are responsible, we will invoice you and you will pay that amount unless you provide us with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, we are solely responsible for taxes assessable against us based on our income, property, and employees.
Future Functionality. You agree that your Subscriptions are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by us regarding future functionality or features.
7. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSES
Reservation of Rights. Subject to the limited rights expressly granted hereunder, we, our Affiliates and our licensors own all rights, titles, and interests in and to all copyright, trademark rights, patent rights, design rights, and other IP rights to the Software and Services, as well as to any work output and all further developments, updates, upgrades, enhancements, modifications, or derivative works which are developed on or out of the Services by any party. No rights are granted to you hereunder other than as expressly set forth herein.
License to Host Your Data and Applications. You grant us, our Affiliates and applicable contractors a worldwide license to host, copy, transmit, and display Your Data, and program code created by or for you, as reasonably necessary for us to provide the Services in accordance with this Agreement.

You grant to us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use and incorporate into our and/or our Affiliates' services any suggestion, enhancement request, recommendation, correction or other feedback provided by you or Users relating to the operation of our or our Affiliates' services.
8. CONFIDENTIALITY
Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Your Confidential Information includes Your Data; our Confidential Information includes the Services; and Confidential Information of each party includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as well as business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.
The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates' employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel, and accountants without the other party's prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel, or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate's, legal counsel's, or accountant's compliance with this “Confidentiality” section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may disclose the terms of this Agreement to a subcontractor or non-Cubeless application provider to the extent necessary to perform our obligations to you under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein.
Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.

EACH PARTY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS FOR ANY HARM OR DAMAGES CAUSED BY ANY THIRD-PARTY HOSTING PROVIDERS.
We do not provide legal or compliance advice. Customer is solely responsible for determining and complying with its obligations under all appliable laws, rules, and regulations, including all privacy laws. Customer should consult with qualified legal counsel or consultants, as needed, to ensure that their use of Software complies with the law.

10. INDEMNIFICATION
Indemnification by Us. We will indemnify and defend you from and against any claim brought by a third party against you alleging that your use of a Service as permitted hereunder, infringes or misappropriates a third party's valid patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret (an “IP Claim”). We shall, at our expense, defend such IP Claim and pay damages finally awarded against you in connection therewith, including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys engaged by Cubeless for such defense, provided that (a) you promptly notify Cubeless of the threat or notice of such IP Claim; (b) we will have sole, exclusive control and authority to select defense attorneys, defend and/or settle any such IP Claim (however, we shall not settle or compromise any claim that results in liability or admission of any liability by you without your prior written consent); and (c) you fully cooperate with Cubeless in connection therewith. If use of a Service by you, agents, or Users has become, or, in our opinion, is likely to become, the subject of any such IP Claim, We may, at our option and expense (i) procure for you the right to continue using the Service(s) as set forth hereunder; (ii) replace or modify a Service to make it non-infringing; or (iii) if options (i) or (ii) are not commercially reasonable or practicable as determined by Cubeless, terminate your subscription to the Service(s) and repay you, on a pro-rata basis, any subscription charges paid to Cubeless for the unused portion of your subscription term for such Service(s). We will have no liability or obligation under this section with respect to any IP Claim if such claim is caused in whole or in part by (x) compliance with designs, data, instructions or specifications provided by you; (y) modification of the Service(s) by anyone other than Cubeless or Cubeless personnel; or (z) the combination, operation or use of the Service(s) with other hardware or software where a Service would not by itself be infringing. The provisions of this section state the sole, exclusive and entire liability of Cubeless to you and your sole remedy with respect to an IP Claim brought by reason of access to or use of a Service by you, agents, or Users.
Indemnification by You. You will indemnify, defend, and hold Cubeless harmless against any claim brought by a third party against Cubeless (a) arising from or related to use of a Service (and not arising solely from the Service itself) by you, agents, or Users in breach of this Agreement; or (b) alleging that your use of the Service or your service data infringes or misappropriates a third party's valid patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret; provided that (i) we promptly notify you of the threat or notice of such claim; (ii) you will have the sole and exclusive control and authority to select defense attorneys, and to defend and/or settle any such claim (however, you shall not settle or compromise any claim that results in liability or admission of any liability by us without our prior written consent); and (iii) we fully cooperate with you in connection therewith.
