1. Services, Use, Conduct and Suspension

1.1          Services. Provider shall provide the Services and other services as described in this Agreement and/or set forth in the relevant duly acknowledged order form(s) under this Agreement (hereinafter “Order Form(s)”). Subject to continued compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including full payment of applicable fees, Provider grants to Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide right to access and use, and permit Authorized Users to access and use, the Services solely for internal business purposes in accordance with any documentation provided by Provider under the terms and conditions of this Agreement during the Term. “Authorized User(s)” or “User(s)” means individual employees and independent contractors of Customer who have a need, and are authorized by Customer, to use the Services. Neither Party will have any obligation with respect to any draft Order Form unless and until it is acknowledged in writing by the Customer. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any terms and/or conditions of this Agreement conflict with any terms and/or conditions of any Order Form, the terms and conditions set forth in the Order Form will control. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Services provided by Provider are not exclusive to Customer and that Provider may provide such Services to other entities. While Provider uses reasonable efforts to keep the Services accessible, the Services may be unavailable from time to time. Customer understands and agrees that there may be interruptions to the Services and/or access to Customer’s account in the Services due to circumstances both within Provider’s control (such as, routine maintenance) and outside of Provider’s control. In addition, Provider expressly reserves the exclusive right to, without prior notice, at any time and from time to time (i) offer new, additional, substitute, modified or amended services, provided that any such new, additional, substitute, modified or amended services do not materially degrade Customer’s use of the Services, and (ii) discontinue offering all or any particular Services. In the event Provider discontinues offering all or any particular Service(s), Provider shall provide Customer with a pro-rata refund for any prepaid but unused Services as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy therefor.

Customer is solely responsible for obtaining, maintaining, installing and supporting all ‘Internet’ access, computer hardware, software, telecommunications capabilities and other equipment and services (specifically including responsibility for providing appropriate personal computers and mobile devices) needed for it and its Authorized Users to access and/or use the Services. Customer shall ensure that its network and systems comply with the relevant specifications provided by Provider from time to time and shall provide Provider with information as may be required by Provider in order to provide the Services. To the extent any of the Services include downloadable software modules, Provider will not be responsible for any compatibility of such Services with any other software or system.

1.3          Permitted Use.

Customer shall strictly maintain the confidentiality of all Identifiers, and Customer is solely responsible and liable for all transactions, activities, and other consequences resulting from the use and/or disclosure of such Identifiers.

The Parties agree that no certification authority or other third party verification is necessary to validate its electronic signature, and that the lack of such certification of third party verification will not in any way affect the enforceability of the Parties’ electronic signature or any resulting agreement between Provider and Customer. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement and/or any acknowledged Order Form shall be effective unless such modification or amendment is in writing and signed by both Parties hereto. Any prior agreements or representations, either written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and/or any acknowledged Order Form are of no force or effect. The headings and titles of the paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience only and are not intended to define, limit or construe the contents of the provisions contained herein.
