  1. USE OF THE SERVICES

3.1. Our Responsibilities. We shall: (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Purchased Services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for: (a) planned downtime (of which We will endeavor to give at least 8 hours’ notice and, to the extent practicable, to schedule during the weekend hours from 6:00 p.m. Friday to 3:00 a.m. Monday, Pacific Time), or (b) any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond Our reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, acts of government, floods, fires, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, pandemics, strikes or other labor problems, Internet service provider failures or delays, and denial of service attacks; and (ii) provide the Purchased Services in a manner that complies with applicable laws and government regulations.

We do not warrant, and are not responsible for the legality, quality, accuracy, integrity, fitness, reliability, or availability of any third party application, content or service (“Third Party Apps”) that You may purchase or connect to, through or with the Services, or any descriptions or promises related to any of the foregoing.  Your agreement to use such Third Party Apps will be solely between You and such third party provider. 

3.3. Your Responsibilities. You shall (i) be responsible for Users’ compliance with this Agreement, (ii) be responsible for the accuracy, completeness, quality and legality of Your Data and of the means by which You acquired Your Data, (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Services, and notify Us promptly of any such unauthorized access or use, and (iv) use the Services only in accordance with applicable laws and government regulations.

Any such limitations are specified in the Order Form. We will endeavor to provide updates if You are approaching or exceeding the limitations outlined in the Order Form.

3.5 Data Access. We will have the right to access and use Your Data for the limited purposes of delivering the Services and responding to service or technical problems.

3.6 Service Interruptions and Support. If the Service is interrupted or not delivered, You should contact Our customer support team at: support@sifdata.com. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Services outlined in the Services/Pricing Overview. Customer support is provided by email, and will be initiated within five (5) business days after the date Our customer support team receives Your request for support.

  1. FEES AND PAYMENT FOR PURCHASED SERVICES

4.1. Fees. You shall pay all fees specified in all Order Forms. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement or in an Order Form, (i) fees are based on the Services purchased, and not actual usage; (ii) payment obligations are non-cancelable; and (iii) all fees paid are non-refundable. Services subscription fees are based on monthly periods that begin on the subscription term start date specified in the applicable Order Form, and each monthly anniversary of such start date; therefore, fees for Services subscriptions added in the middle of a monthly period will be charged pro-rata for that monthly period and the monthly periods remaining in the subscription term.

4.2. Invoicing and Payment. You shall provide Us with valid and updated credit card information, valid ACH information, or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to Us. If You provide credit card information to Us, You hereby authorize Us to charge such credit card for all Services listed in the Order Form for the initial subscription term and any renewal subscription term(s) as set forth in Section 10.2 (Term of Purchased Services Subscriptions). Such charges may be made in advance, either monthly, annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order Form. If the Order Form specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, We will invoice You in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Order Form. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, invoiced charges are due and payable immediately on receipt of the invoice. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Us and promptly notifying Us of any changes to such information.

4.3. Overdue Charges. If any charges are not received from You by the due date, then at Our discretion, (a) such 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, from the date such payment was due until the date paid; and (b) We may condition future subscription renewals and Order Forms on payment terms different than those specified in Section 4.2 (Invoicing and Payment).

4.4. Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owing by You under this Agreement or any other agreement for Our services is 30 or more days overdue (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts You have authorized Us to charge to Your credit card), We may, without limiting Our other rights and remedies, (i) accelerate Your unpaid fee obligations under any or all such agreements so that Your obligations become immediately due and payable; and (ii) suspend Our services to You until such amounts are paid in full.  We will typically give You at least 7 days’ prior notice that Your account is overdue before suspending services to You.

4.5. Payment Disputes. We will not exercise Our rights under Section 4.3 (Overdue Charges) or 4.4 (Suspension of Service and Acceleration) if we determine that You are disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith, and are cooperating diligently with Us to resolve the dispute.

4.6. Taxes. Unless otherwise stated in an applicable Order Form, Our fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including but not limited to value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). You are responsible for paying any and all Taxes associated with Your purchases from Us, including, without limitation, purchases under this Agreement. If We have the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which You are responsible under this paragraph, We will invoice the appropriate amount to You, and You will be responsible for paying such invoiced 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.

5.1. Reservation of Rights in Services. Subject to the limited rights expressly granted under this Agreement, We specifically reserve all rights, title and interest in and to the Services and all other of Our proprietary and confidential information, including all related intellectual property rights.

  1. CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1. Definition of Confidential Information. As used herein, “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 is known or reasonably should be understood by the Receiving Party to be confidential or proprietary given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Your Confidential Information includes Your Data; Our Confidential Information includes the Services and all other of Our confidential and proprietary information; and Confidential Information of each party includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Order Forms, as well as trade secrets, business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product/service plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party. However, Confidential Information will not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives; (ii) was received by the Receiving Party from another person without any limitations on use or disclosure, but only if the Receiving Party had no reason to believe that the other person was prohibited from using or disclosing the information by a contractual or fiduciary obligation; or (iii) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without using any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.

6.2. Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind, but in no event less than reasonable care, and shall: (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 in Receiving Party’s possession or control to those of its and its Affiliates’ Representatives who need such access for purposes consistent with this Agreement, who are informed by the Receiving Party of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information, and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent than those in this Agreement. Neither party may disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates and their legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent.  Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the party’s Representatives to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.  The Receiving Party shall: (A) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of any breach of this Section 6.2 by the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives; and (B) assist the Disclosing Party in every reasonable way to retrieve any Confidential Information that was used or disclosed by the Receiving Party or a Representative of the Receiving Party in breach of this Section 6.2 and to mitigate the harm caused by such breach.

6.3. Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such 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 such Confidential Information.

6.4 Transfers. You hereby consent to the transfer of, and access to, personal data of EEA data subjects by Us and Our subprocessors to (or from) areas outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), provided that We have taken measures to verify that such transfer/access is in compliance with ADPL and the EC Standard Contractual Clauses (controller to processor), which are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by this reference.

6.5 Rights of EEA Data Subjects. We will provide reasonable and timely assistance to You to respond to any request from an EEA data subject for the correction, updating, or deletion of the EEA data subject’s personal data. We will, subject to applicable legal requirements, follow only Your instructions in this regard. You hereby instruct Us to delete all personal data, to the extent technically feasible, that has been deleted at the data subject’s request.

6.6 Data Impact Assessments. If We believe that Our processing of any EEA personal data is likely to result in a high risk to the data protection rights and freedoms of EEA data subjects, We will promptly inform You and provide You with such reasonable and timely assistance necessary to conduct a data protection impact assessment and, if necessary, consult with a relevant data protection authority.

6.7 Equitable Relief. The parties acknowledge that the remedies at law for any breach of this Section 6 will, by their nature, be inadequate.  Accordingly, each party may obtain injunctive relief or other equitable relief to restrain a breach or threatened breach of any of the terms of this Section 6, or to specifically enforce the terms of this Section 6, without proving that any monetary damages have been sustained.

8.2. Indemnification by You. You shall defend Us against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against Us by a third party alleging that Your Data, or Your use of the Services in breach of this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of a third party or violates applicable law (a “Claim Against Us”), and shall indemnify Us for any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Us as a result of, or for any amounts paid by Us under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim Against Us; provided that We (a) promptly give You written notice of the Claim Against Us; (b) give You sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against Us (provided that You may not settle any Claim Against Us without Our prior written consent unless the settlement unconditionally releases Us of all liability); and (c) provide to You all reasonable assistance, at Your expense.

The termination of this Agreement, regardless of how it occurs, will not relieve a party of obligations that have accrued before the termination.  All provisions of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to survive its termination will do so, including, without limitation, the provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

The per-unit pricing during any such renewal term will be the same as that during the prior term unless We have given You written notice of a pricing increase at least 60 days before the end of such prior term, in which case the pricing increase will be effective on renewal and thereafter during that renewal term.

On any termination of this Agreement for cause by You, and subject to Our set-off of any other amounts or damages owed by You to Us, We will refund to You any subscription fees that You prepaid to Us for the remainder of the term after the effective date of the termination. On any termination for cause by Us, You shall immediately pay to Us an amount equal to the entire remaining contract sum under all Order Forms that covers the remainder of the term of all Order Forms after the effective date of the termination. In no event will any termination by either party for any reason relieve You of Your obligation to pay any and all fees payable to Us for the period prior to the effective date of the termination.

10.5. Return of Your Data. On request by You made within 30 days after the effective date of termination of a Purchased Services subscription, and conditioned on You first paying all remaining amounts due to Us under this Agreement, We will make available to You for download a file of Your Data in comma separated value (.csv) format along with attachments in their native format.
