Unless ModuleQ states otherwise, all payments must be made in U.S. Dollars by check-in immediately available funds to an account designated by ModuleQ or by credit/debit card via an authorized ModuleQ payment processor.

“Confidential Information” means all information disclosed (whether in oral, written, or other tangible or intangible forms) by ModuleQ to Customer (or otherwise discovered by Customer) concerning or related to these Terms, ModuleQ and/or the Services (whether before, on or after the Effective Date) which Customer knows or should know, given the facts and circumstances surrounding the disclosure of the information, is the confidential information of ModuleQ including, but not limited to: trade secrets, know-how, business plans, the Services, and other similar information. Customer will, during the term of these Terms and thereafter, maintain in confidence the Confidential Information and will not use or disclose such Confidential Information except as expressly permitted in these Terms. Customer will use the same degree of care in protecting the Confidential Information as Customer uses to protect its own confidential information from unauthorized use or disclosure but in no event less than reasonable care. Notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in these Terms, any suggestions, comments, or other feedback provided by Customer to ModuleQ with respect to the Services, any support, and maintenance provided by ModuleQ or ModuleQ (collectively, “Feedback”) will constitute Confidential Information. ModuleQ will be free to use, disclose, reproduce, license, and otherwise distribute and exploit the Feedback provided to it as it sees fit, entirely without obligation or restriction of any kind, on account of Intellectual Property Rights or otherwise. The customer acknowledges and agrees that any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information will result in irreparable injury to ModuleQ, which injury could not be adequately compensated by the payment of money damages. In addition to any other legal and equitable remedies that may be available, ModuleQ will be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach by Customer of the confidentiality obligations hereunder, from any court of competent jurisdiction, without being required to show any actual damage or irreparable harm, prove the inadequacy of its legal remedies or post any bond or other security.

9. SECURITY AND REQUIRED DISCLOSURES

11. DISCLAIMER

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. MODULEQ DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN) WITH RESPECT TO THESE TERMS, THE MODULEQ IP, ANY THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE, OR ANY CUSTOMER CONTENT WHETHER ALLEGED TO ARISE BY OPERATION OF LAW, BY REASON OF CUSTOM OR USAGE IN THE TRADE, BY COURSE OF DEALING OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, WARRANTIES OF FITNESS OR SUITABILITY FOR ANY PURPOSE (WHETHER OR NOT MODULEQ KNOWS, HAS REASON TO KNOW, HAS BEEN ADVISED, OR IS OTHERWISE AWARE OF ANY SUCH PURPOSE), AND WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OR CONDITION OF TITLE.

12. INDEMNIFICATION

Customer, at its sole expense, will defend, indemnify and hold ModuleQ (and its directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents) harmless from and against any and all actual or threatened suits, actions, proceedings (at law or in equity), claims, damages, payments, deficiencies, fines, judgments, settlements, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, penalties, interest, and disbursements) caused by, arising out of or resulting from Customer IP or Customer’s violation (or alleged violation) of these Terms (including, any breach or alleged breach by Customer of any of Customers representations or warranties).

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

IN NO EVENT WILL MODULEQ BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER, ANY USERS, OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE MODULEQ IP, HOWEVER, CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED), PRODUCT LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY), EVEN IF MODULEQ HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. FURTHER, IN NO EVENT WILL MODULEQ’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY THE CUSTOMER TO MODULEQ DURING THE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD WITHIN WHICH THE DAMAGES AROSE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY TERMS TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE TERMS: (A) THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY FAILURE OF ANY SERVICE LEVEL STANDARDS ARE THE CREDITS PROVIDED UNDER THESE TERMS; AND (B) MODULEQ WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DISCLOSURE OF, UNAUTHORIZED USE OF AND/OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO ANY CUSTOMER CONTENT.

14. ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE CUSTOMER AND MODULEQ TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH BOTH PARTIES CAN SEEK RELIEF.

Customer and ModuleQ will arbitrate any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or related to these Terms or the Services, except that neither Customer nor ModuleQ is required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and/or other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, or patents. ARBITRATION PREVENTS CUSTOMERS AND MODULEQ FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL. Customer and ModuleQ will notify each other of any dispute within 30 days of when it arises and attempt informal resolution before any demand for arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted confidentially in San Francisco, California by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of JAMS (or its successor). Except as expressly provided in these Terms, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. The arbitrator will render a written opinion including findings of fact and law, and the award and determination of the arbitrator will bind the parties and will not be subject to an appeal. Judgment may be entered upon the award of the arbitrator in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties will equally share the expenses of the arbitration unless the arbitrator determines to apportion fees and expenses differently. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, NO ARBITRATION OR CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS WILL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE SERVICES, AND NEITHER CUSTOMER NOR MODULEQ will commence against the other a class action, class ARBITRATION, or other representative action or proceeding.

Customers can choose to reject this agreement to arbitrate (“opt-out”) by sending ModuleQ a written opt-out notice (the “Opt-Out Notice”) to 717 Market St Ste 100, San Francisco, CA 94103 within 30 days after the date Customer accepts these Terms for the first time. The Opt-Out Notice must state that the Customer does not agree to this agreement to arbitrate and must include Customer’s name, address, phone number, and email address. The customer must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way Customers can opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate. If the Customer opts out of this agreement to arbitrate, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply.

15. MISCELLANEOUS

Entire Agreement. These Terms (including the terms and conditions incorporated into these Terms by reference) set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, negotiations, conversations, discussions, and understandings, written or oral, with respect to such subject matter and all past dealing or industry custom.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without resort to its conflict of law provisions. The state or federal court in San Francisco, California will be the jurisdiction in which any suits should be filed if they relate to these Terms. Prior to the filing or initiation of any action or proceeding relating to these Terms, the parties must participate in good faith mediation in San Francisco County, California. If a party initiates any proceeding regarding these Terms, the prevailing party to such proceeding is entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs for claims arising out of these Terms.

Neither party will have any right or authority to assume or create any obligations or to make any representations or warranties on behalf of any other party, whether express or implied, or to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever.

Assignment. Customer may not assign, delegate, or transfer (by sale, merger, operation of law, or otherwise) these Terms or any right, title, interest, or obligation hereunder without the prior written consent of ModuleQ. Any attempted or purported assignment, delegation or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void and without effect. ModuleQ may assign these Terms without the Customer’s prior written consent. These Terms will be binding and inure to the benefit of such assignees, transferees, and other successors in the interest of the parties, in the event of an assignment or other transfer made consistent with the provisions of these Terms.

Electronic Communications. ModuleQ may choose to electronically deliver all communications with Customers, which may include email to the email address Customer provides to ModuleQ. ModuleQ’s electronic communications to Customer may transmit or convey information about action taken on Customer’s request, portions of Customer’s request that may be incomplete or require additional explanation, any notices required under applicable law, and any other notices. The customer agrees to do business electronically with ModuleQ and to receive electronically all current and future notices, disclosures, communications, and information and that the aforementioned electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. An electronic notice will be deemed to have been received on the day of receipt as evidenced by such email.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other provisions of these Terms will nonetheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by these Terms is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties will negotiate in good faith to modify these Terms so as to affect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled.
