This Allbound Terms of Service Agreement, together with the Order Form(s) and Statement(s) of Work referencing these terms of service (collectively, this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the effective date of the first Order Form or Statement of Work, each as defined below, (the “Effective Date”) by and between Allbound, Inc (“Allbound”) and the customer identified in such Order Form or Statement of Work (“Customer”). By executing an order form or statement of work that references this Agreement (as applicable, an “Order Form” or “Statement of Work”), or indicating acceptance of this Agreement via click through, electronic signature or other electronic means offered by Allbound, Customer agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any individual accepting this Agreement on behalf of a Customer which is an organization or other entity represents and warrants that he or she has the authority to bind Customer to this Agreement. IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, CUSTOMER IS NOT PERMITTED TO USE THE ALLBOUND SERVICES. 

The parties agree as follows:

1. Allbound Services

1.1.  This Agreement governs (a) Customer’s access to and use of Allbound’s proprietary, web-based software solution(s) described in the applicable Order Form (the “Allbound Services”); and (b) Allbound’s performance and Customer’s receipt of managed services or other professional services as described in the applicable Statement of Work (the “Professional Services”). Allbound grants to Customer and its authorized employees and agents (“End Users”) a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive right during the term set forth on the applicable Order Form (the “Subscription Term”) to access and use the Allbound Services for Customer’s business purposes. 

1.2. In the event that Customer elects to have Allbound perform any Professional Services, the parties will enter into a Statement of Work governing the provision of such Professional Services. Each Statement of Work is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Statement of Work and the terms of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement govern unless expressly provided otherwise in the applicable Statement of Work.  Each Statement of Work will, at a minimum, include: (a) a description of the specific Professional Services to be provided; (b) the schedule for the performance of the Professional Services; and (c) the fees payable for such Professional Services.  To the extent Allbound creates or develops any deliverables arising from or related to the Professional Services, upon Customer’s payment for the applicable Professional Services, and to the extent Customer is not in breach of this Agreement, Allbound grants to Customer a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive right, during the applicable Subscription Term, to access and use such deliverables solely for Customer’s internal business purposes, subject to the use restrictions set forth in this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that the deliverables are Allbound’s Confidential Information (as defined below).

As between the parties, Customer owns all right, title and interest in and to the Customer Materials.  Customer consents to Allbound’s use of and access to the Customer Materials solely to the extent necessary to enable Allbound to provide the Allbound Services to Customer in accordance with this Agreement.

4.2. Allbound

As between the parties and subject to the grant of rights in Section 1 of this Agreement, Allbound and its licensors own all right, title and interest in and to the Allbound Services (and any and all modifications to or derivative works of the Allbound Services) and any and all intellectual property rights embodied in the foregoing (collectively, the “Allbound IP”). Subject to the limited license above and as between the parties, Allbound owns and will continue to own all right, title and interest in and to all such deliverables and all discoveries, inventions, developments, improvements, works of authorship, information, data, analysis, know-how, ideas, technology, materials, and other work product arising out of or related to the Professional Services, together with all related Intellectual Property Rights therein.

Each party reserves all rights not expressly granted in this Agreement, and no licenses are granted by a party to the other party under this Agreement, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. 

 

5. Fees and Payment Terms

5.1. Fees

The fees for the Allbound Services and Professional Services are set forth in the applicable Order Form or Statement of Work (the “Fees”). Unless otherwise expressly specified in the applicable Order Form or Statement of Work, Customer will pay all Fees within 30 days of the date Allbound’s invoice to Customer. The Fees may be increased effective upon the next renewal term so long as Allbound provides Customer with 90 days prior written notice.

5.2. Interest and Taxes

The Fees do not include sales and similar taxes levied upon the provision of the Allbound Services or the Professional Services provided under this Agreement.  Customer will be responsible for such taxes other than taxes based solely on Allbound’s net income. 

5.3. Payment Card Terms

By providing Allbound with credit card information (including account number, expiration date, card verification code, and billing address), Customer represents and warrants that all such information is complete and accurate and authorizes Allbound to charge such credit card for all Fees that are due and payable hereunder. Allbound will initiate periodic charges to credit card for all Fees incurred during the Subscription Term. Customer’s authorization of such recurring charges will remain effective for the duration of the Subscription Term, unless Customer notifies Allbound in writing that Customer revokes such consent. Customer further authorizes Allbound to receive updated credit card account information from the issuer of the credit card.

 

6. User Data and Security

6.1. Anonymous Usage Data

Allbound may monitor use of the Allbound Services by its customers generally and use technical and meta data about Customer’s use of the Allbound Services gathered in an aggregate and anonymous manner in order to improve the Allbound Services. Allbound may use, sell, and publish such information, provided that such information does not identify Customer or any Customer Material in any way. For clarity, any data Allbound provides to third parties will only be in an aggregated and anonymous manner with sufficient other customer information that Customer may not be discovered via analysis on the aggregated data.

6.2. Security

Allbound will use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any unauthorized use, access, processing, destruction, loss or disclosure of any Customer Materials stored or processed by the Allbound Services. In the case of a confirmed unauthorized use, access, processing, destruction, loss or disclosure of any such Customer Materials by a third party (a “Security Incident”), Allbound will notify Customer after Allbound becomes aware of the Security Incident.

6.3. Restrictions on Certain Types of Data

Customer shall not process via, or submit to, the Allbound Services any Customer Materials that include any: (a) “personal health information,” as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act; (b) government issued identification numbers, including Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers and other state or national issued identification numbers; (c) financial account information, including bank account numbers; (d) payment card data, including credit card or debit card numbers; (e) biometric information, such as fingerprints or voiceprints; or (f) “sensitive” personal data, as defined under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, about residents of Switzerland and any member country of the European Union, including racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, physical or health-related data, sexual life, or sexual orientation.

 

7. Obligations of the Parties

7.1. Passwords

Customer is responsible for protecting and safeguarding any passwords, API keys, user IDs or other credentials and login information (collectively, “Passwords“) that have been provided to Customer or that are generated in connection with Customer’s use of the Allbound Services. Customer will not disclose or make available Passwords to any third-party other than to End Users and will use best efforts to prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, the Passwords or the Allbound Services. Customer is fully responsible for all activities that occur in connection with the Passwords. Customer will immediately notify Allbound in writing of any unauthorized use of the Allbound Services that comes to Customer’s attention.

7.2. Third Party Dependencies

Customer acknowledges that the Allbound Services (including the Customer Materials) are hosted and processed on a network owned and maintained by a third-party services provider. The Allbound Services may contain or otherwise use certain third-party software.

 

8. Confidentiality

8.1. Definition
“Confidential Information” means all non-public information disclosed (whether in oral, written, or other tangible or intangible form) by one party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) related to technical, commercial, financial, employee, or planning information disclosed in connection with this Agreement and is (A) identified in writing as confidential at the time of disclosure, whether in printed, textual, graphic, or electronic form; or (B) disclosed in non-tangible form, identified as confidential at the time of disclosure, summarized in a writing labeled as “confidential”, and delivered to the Receiving Party within 15 days after disclosure; provided, however, a failure to mark information as “Confidential” or to reduce oral/visual disclosures to writing will not preclude confidential treatment under this Agreement if such information would reasonably be considered confidential based upon the nature of the information and the circumstances surrounding its disclosure. Confidential Information includes the components of the business plans, financial plans, know-how, customer information, strategies and other similar information. Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is in or enters the public domain without breach of this Agreement and through no fault of the Receiving Party; (b) the Receiving Party can reasonably demonstrate was in its possession prior to first receiving it from the Disclosing Party; (c) the Receiving Party can demonstrate was developed by the Receiving Party independently and without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (d) the Receiving Party receives from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without breach of a nondisclosure obligation.

8.2. Use and Disclosure

The Receiving Party will maintain in confidence, during the Subscription Term and thereafter, the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and will not use such Confidential Information except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care in protecting the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information from unauthorized use or disclosure, but at least reasonable care. In addition, the Receiving Party will only disclose Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party to its directors, officers, employees and contractors who have a need to know such Confidential Information in connection with this Agreement and only if such directors, officers, employees and contractors are bound by confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than the non-disclosure obligations contained in this Section 8.

8.3. Feedback

Customer acknowledges that any suggestions, comments or other feedback provided by Customer to Allbound with respect to Allbound, the Allbound Services or the Professional Services (“Feedback”) may be used by Allbound for the purpose of optimizing, improving, enhancing or creating derivative products; and Allbound shall have no obligation to compensate Customer and shall not identify Customer as the source of such Feedback.

8.4. Injunctive Relief

The Receiving Party acknowledges that any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party may result in irreparable injury to the Disclosing Party, 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, the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach by the Receiving Party of the confidentiality obligations hereunder, from any court of competent jurisdiction, without being required to: (a) show any actual damage or irreparable harm; (b) prove the inadequacy of its legal remedies; or (c) post any bond or other security.

 

9. Representations, Warranties and Remedies

9.1. General Representations and Warranties

Each party represents and warrants that: (a) it is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the place of its establishment or incorporation; and (b) it has full corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

9.2. Limited Allbound Services Warranty

Allbound represents and warrants that: (a) it will perform the Professional Services in a professional and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the Statement of Work; and (b) so long as Customer uses the Allbound Services in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable specifications, the Allbound Services will materially conform to the applicable specifications set forth in the applicable Order Form (if any) and to the documentation provided by Allbound to Customer.   If Allbound breaches the warranty provided in Section 9.2, Allbound’s sole liability and Customer’s exclusive remedy is for Allbound to correct or re-perform any defective Allbound Service at no additional cost to Customer.  If Allbound is not able to correct or re-perform in a reasonable period of time not to exceed thirty (30) days, CUSTOMER MAY terminate the affected Allbound Services.  

9.3. Disclaimer

EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 9.1 AND 9.2, EACH PARTY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ALLBOUND SERVICES, THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND ANY THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY ALLBOUND UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY AND ALL: (A) WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY; (B) WARRANTIES OF FITNESS OR SUITABILITY FOR ANY PURPOSE; OR (C) WARRANTIES OF NONINFRINGEMENT. THIS DISCLAIMER AND EXCLUSION APPLY EVEN IF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SET FORTH ABOVE FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

 

10. Indemnification Obligations

10.1. Infringement Indemnity

Allbound will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Customer and its directors, officers, and employees (collectively, the “Customer Indemnitees”) from and against any and all third party claims, suits, actions or proceedings and  any related damages, payments, deficiencies, fines, judgments, settlements, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)  that result from or arise in connection with the exercise of any of the rights granted under this Agreement with respect to any of the Allbound IP (excluding any Open Source Software) infringing any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party. In the event of a Claim pursuant to this Section 10.1, Allbound may, at its option and expense: (a) obtain for Customer the right to continue to use the Allbound Services in accordance with this Agreement; (b) substitute the allegedly infringing component for an equivalent non-infringing component; or (c) modify the Allbound Services to make them non-infringing. If (a), (b), or (c) is not obtainable on commercially reasonable terms, Allbound may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately, by written notice to Customer. Allbound’s indemnification obligations do not extend to Claims arising from or relating to: (i) any combination of the Allbound Services (or any portion thereof) by any Customer Indemnitee, End Users or any third party with any equipment, software, data or any other materials where the infringement would not have occurred but for such combination; (iii) any modification to the Allbound Services by any Customer Indemnitees, End Users or any third party where the infringement would not have occurred but for such modification; (iv) the use of the Allbound Services by any Customer Indemnitees, End Users or any third party in a manner contrary to the terms of this Agreement where the infringement would not have occurred but for such use; or (v) the continued use of the Allbound Services after Allbound has provided substantially equivalent non-infringing software or service. The indemnity provided in this Section 10.1 and the foregoing remedies constitute Allbound’s sole liability and Customer’s exclusive remedy in the event of a Claim pursuant to this Section 10.1.

10.2. Customer Indemnity

Customer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Allbound and its directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Allbound Indemnitees”) from and against any Claims and indemnify Allbound Indemnitees from any related damages, payments, deficiencies, fines, judgments, settlements, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, penalties, interest and disbursements) arising out of, based on or related to (a) Customer’s business operations, any Customer IP or any Customer Materials; or (b) any breach or alleged breach of Customer’s obligations under this Agreement.

10.3. Procedures

The indemnifying party’s indemnification obligations under this Section 10 are conditioned upon the indemnified party: (a) giving prompt written notice of the Claim to the indemnifying party once the indemnified party becomes aware of the Claim (provided that failure to provide prompt written notice to the indemnifying party shall not alleviate an indemnifying party’s obligations under Section 10 to the extent any associated delay does not materially prejudice or impair the defense of the related Claims); (b) granting the indemnifying party sole control of the defense (including granting the indemnifying party the right to select and use counsel of its own choosing) and settlement of the Claim (except that the indemnified party’s prior written approval will be required for any settlement that reasonably can be expected to require an affirmative obligation of the indemnified party); and (c) providing reasonable cooperation to the indemnifying party and, at the indemnifying party’s request and expense, assistance in the defense or settlement of the Claim.

 

11. Limitation of Liability

EXCEPT FOR ALLBOUND’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, IN NO EVENT WILL ALLBOUND’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER OR TO ANY END USER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER TO ALLBOUND DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE EVENT UNDER WHICH THE DAMAGES AROSE.

MULTIPLE CLAIMS WILL NOT EXPAND THIS LIMITATION. THIS SECTION WILL BE GIVEN FULL EFFECT EVEN IF ANY REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT IS DEEMED TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

FURTHER, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY TERMS TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, ALLBOUND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY BREACH OF ANY SERVERS OR SYSTEMS, ANY HACKING, OR ANY UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF, OR ACCESS TO, ANY CUSTOMER IP (IN ANY MEDIUM), UNLESS SUCH OCCURS AS A DIRECT RESULT OF ALLBOUND’S BREACH OF ANY OF ITS SECURITY OBLIGATIONS AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.2 (SECURITY).

This Agreement, including the Order Form(s) and Statement(s) of Work, sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes 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. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and an Order Form or Statement of Work, the terms of this Agreement control, provided, however, to the extent the inconsistent terms are not in conflict with the terms of this document but are in addition to those set forth herein (as permitted by Section 5), the terms of the Order Form or Statement of Work will apply. The parties may amend the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.6.

13.2. Independent Contractor

Neither party will, for any purpose, be deemed to be an agent, franchisor, franchise, employee, representative, owner or partner of the other party, and the relationship between the parties will only be that of independent contractors.

No failure or delay (in whole or in part) on the part of a party to exercise any right or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof or effect any other right or remedy. Unless expressly provided herein, all rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided hereunder or by law. The waiver of one breach or default or any delay in exercising any rights will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.
