This Section and any relevant Additional Terms will apply to any Free Access Subscription or Beta Release (even if a Beta Release is provided for a fee or counts towards Client’s Scope of Use allocations) and supersedes any contrary provision in this Agreement.

As between the parties, Client retains all right, title and interest (including any intellectual property rights) in and to any text, images or other content and data that Client selects or submits for use or incorporation with the Services (including without limitation, chat and message logs, Customer Data, PHI or any Third-Party Content) (“Client Data”). “Customer Data” means data related to the identity, characteristics and activities of Customers, collected or submitted to the Services by Client or captured by the Services. To the extent Client is a Covered Entity or a Business Associate, as those terms are defined in HIPAA (defined below), “Client Data” also includes PHI. “Third-Party Content” means content, data or other materials that Client provides to the ThetaCore Services from its third-party data providers, including through Third-Party Products (as defined below) used by Client. “HIPAA” means the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (the “HITECH Act”), the Administrative Simplification section of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as codified at 42 U.S.C. §1320d through d-8, as amended from time to time, and the requirements of any regulations promulgated under either the HITECH Act or HIPAA, including, without limitation, the federal privacy regulations as contained in 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164, the federal security standards as contained in 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 162, and the federal standards for electronic transactions contained in 45 C.F.R. Parts 160, all as may be amended from time to time. Client hereby grants ThetaCore a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right and license to collect, use, copy, store, transmit, modify and create derivative works of the Client Data solely to the extent necessary to provide the Services and related services to Client and as otherwise provided herein. Client further instructs ThetaCore to use and disclose Client Data and Customer Data as necessary to (a) provide the Services consistent with this Agreement and ThetaCore’s Privacy Policy, including detecting, investigating, and preventing security incidents, spam, fraud, or unlawful use of the Services, and (b) respond to Client’s inquiries or any technical problems and ensure the Services are working properly.
3.2. Monitoring. Client understands and agrees that ThetaCore, and any third-party platform(s) Client uses or accesses in connection with the Services, may monitor and analyze Client Data or Customer Data (including but not limited to reviews, surveys, messages, chats, etc.) to improve the Website, Services or third-party platform; to improve Client’s experience using the Website, Services or third-party platform; to customize and communicate informational or product offerings and promotions to Client; and/or to make the Website, Services, or third-party platform more helpful or useful to Client and other users.
3.3. Aggregate/Anonymous Data. Client agrees that ThetaCore will have the right to generate usage data from Client use of the Services and may aggregate anonymized Client Data (“Aggregate/Anonymous Data”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties agree that Aggregate/Anonymous Data is ThetaCore Technology, which ThetaCore may use for any business purpose during or after the term of this Agreement (including without limitation to develop and improve ThetaCore’s products and services and to create and distribute reports and other materials). ThetaCore will not distribute Aggregate/Anonymous Data in a manner that personally identifies Client or its Customers, or that would otherwise violate applicable laws. If Client and ThetaCore have entered into a BAA, ThetaCore will use the Aggregate/Anonymous Data only in conformity with the terms of such agreement. “BAA” means a Business Associate Agreement, which a written agreement between a covered entity and a business associate containing the elements specified at 45 CFR 164.504(e).
3.4. Security. ThetaCore agrees to maintain physical, technical and organizational measures designed, in its discretion, to secure its systems from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. If Client is a Covered Entity or Business Associate, as defined in HIPAA, ThetaCore and Client will agree to the terms of ThetaCore’s BAA, which may be amended from time to time, and to secure and utilize PHI in accordance with the BAA. ThetaCore takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any Client Data other than its express security obligations in this Section.
3.5. Storage. ThetaCore does not provide an archiving service. During the Subscription Term, Client acknowledges that ThetaCore may delete Client Data no longer in active use. ThetaCore expressly disclaims all other obligations with respect to storage.
4. Client Obligations.
4.1. Warranty. Client warrants and represents that it is in full compliance with all applicable state, federal, and international laws, rules and regulations and that Client will not use the Services in a manner that would violate or cause ThetaCore to violate any obligation with respect to any such laws, rules or regulations, or amendments thereto, including but not limited to the Federal Trade Commission’s Telemarketing Sales Rule, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, and The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

If Client receives any take-down requests or infringement notices related to Client Data or its use of Third-Party Products, it will promptly stop using these items with the Services and notify ThetaCore immediately. Additionally, if an integration is included in the Services Client orders, Client grants ThetaCore the right to access Client’s Information or other systems directly or through a third-party service for the purposes of fulfilling ThetaCore’s obligations under this Agreement, and Client warrants that Client is not restricted by law or applicable agreement from granting ThetaCore such right. ThetaCore will not be held liable for any consequences of false and/or inaccurate content submitted to or through the Services by Client, by its Authorized Users, or by any other user.
4.2. Customer Consent; Intended Use of the Services. Client understands and agrees that the Services are intended to allow Client to obtain behavioral insight in its Authorized User, Customers, and other users. Client agrees and acknowledges that Client is solely responsible for its compliance with applicable law and regulations and must not rely on the Services for any such compliance. Use of the Services does not guarantee compliance with applicable law or regulation, and ThetaCore expressly disclaims any liability for Client’s non-compliance. ThetaCore reserves the right to suspend or terminate Client’s access to the Services if ThetaCore believes, in its discretion, that Client has violated this Section 4.
5. Availability of Services; Support.
5.1. Availability. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and any scheduled maintenance and unavailability caused by: (a) actions or omissions of Client; (b) failures, errors or defects in the facilities, hardware, software or network of Client; or (c) circumstances that constitute a force majeure event or that are beyond ThetaCore’s reasonable control, the Services will be available for access via the Website 99.0% of the time during Mondays through Fridays of the applicable Subscription Term. Client’s sole remedy and ThetaCore’s sole liability for failure to meet such availability shall be support in accordance with Section 5.2.
5.2. Support. ThetaCore makes available web-based support through the Website. Additional support services may be available to Client subject to payment of applicable fees (if any), as specified in any applicable Order Form. Any support services are subject to this Agreement. ThetaCore may also provide onboarding, deployment, and other services under this Agreement. The scope, pricing and other terms for these additional services will be set forth in the applicable Order Form. ThetaCore’s ability to deliver the Services will depend on Client’s reasonable and timely cooperation and the accuracy and completeness of any information from Client needed to deliver the Services.
6. Fees and Payment
6.1. Fees. Unless otherwise specified on the applicable Order Form, the Services are provided on an ongoing, per license subscription-basis including automatically recurring payments for periodic charges, according to the terms and conditions referenced in the Order Form (“Subscription”). Client agrees to pay to ThetaCore the fees for the Subscription to the Services or any Bundle (“Subscription Fees”) and any additional fees (if applicable), all as set forth in the applicable Order Form (collectively, the “Fees”). Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Subscription documentation, unless Client terminates a Free Access Subscription prior to the lapse of the Free Access Subscription term, such Services will convert to a paid Subscription and Client agrees to pay ThetaCore the applicable Subscription Fees according to the terms of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, payment for all Fees is due within 30 days of the invoice date.
6.2. Payment of Fees. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, all Subscription Fees will be paid annually in advance, though overage fees (if any) may be charged in arrears, and all references to currency set forth herein will mean U.S. dollars, with all payments hereunder to be made in U.S. dollars. Subscription Fees are non-refundable and non-creditable, except as expressly set forth in Sections 1.3 (Modification of the Services) and 7.3 (Termination for Cause). If the payment method selected on the applicable Order Form is credit card, ACH, or direct debit, Client authorizes ThetaCore to charge the Subscription Fees automatically, on an auto-renew basis on your Subscription Start Date (as defined below) for each subsequent Subscription Term. For the avoidance of doubt, all additional Subscription Fees for additional Services accessed by Client will be billed when the Service is first accessed by Client and automatically, on an auto-review basis on Client’s existing Subscription Start Date. The Subscription will continue unless and until you or ThetaCore terminate your Subscription in accordance with Section 7. You must cancel your Subscription before it renews to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fees to your account. If Client elects to pay by credit card, then you are responsible for both (a) enabling auto-recharge on your account and (b) ensuring that your account has a sufficient positive balance to cover all Fees when due. Should ThetaCore be unable to process/receive the Fees when due and owing, payment shall be considered overdue. ThetaCore shall have the right to charge interest on all overdue amounts at the annual rate of 6%, compounded monthly, or the maximum lawful amounts, whichever is less. Additionally, after payment becomes overdue, ThetaCore shall have the right to immediately suspend Client’s access to the Services and/or seek to enforce Client’s payment obligations including using third-party services.
6.3. Taxes. ThetaCore’s Fees are exclusive of all taxes, and Client must pay any applicable taxes or levies, whether domestic or foreign, other than taxes based on the income of ThetaCore. Client will make tax payments to ThetaCore to the extent amounts are included on ThetaCore’s invoices.
6.4. Annual Fee Increase. ThetaCore reserves the right to increase Fees for any Services, upon 60 days’ prior written notice, effective on the start date of your subsequent Subscription Term.
7. Term and Termination
7.1. Term. This Agreement is effective until the applicable Subscription Term for the Services has expired or the Subscription is terminated as expressly permitted herein. Unless otherwise stated in Client’s Order Form, the initial term for any Subscription to the Services is twelve (12) months and will automatically renew for subsequent periods of equal duration (the “Subscription Term”), unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the end of the then-current Subscription Term. Client may give notice of non-renewal by sending an email to support@thetacore.com. If no Subscription start date is specified on the applicable Order Form, the Subscription starts when Client first obtains access to the Services (“Subscription Start Date”). By agreeing to any Order Form, Client is agreeing to pay applicable fees for the entire Subscription Term. Client cannot cancel or terminate a Subscription Term except as expressly permitted by Section 7.3 (Termination for Cause).
7.2. Suspension of Services. ThetaCore may suspend Client’s access to the Services if: (a) Client’s account is overdue or (b) Client has exceeded its Scope of Use limits. ThetaCore may also suspend Client’s access to the Services or remove Client Data or disable Third-Party Products if it determines that: (i) Client has breached Section 2 (Use Rights; Restrictions) or Section 4 (Client Obligations); or (ii) suspension is necessary to prevent harm or liability to other Clients or third parties or to preserve the security, stability, availability or integrity of the Services. ThetaCore will have no liability for acting as permitted above. For avoidance of doubt, Client will remain responsible for payment of Fees during any suspension period. Unless this Agreement has been terminated, ThetaCore will cooperate with Client to restore access to the Services once it verifies that Client has resolved the condition requiring suspension.
7.3. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement, including any related Order Form, if the other party: (a) fails to cure any material breach of this Agreement (including a failure to pay fees) within thirty (30) days after written notice detailing the breach; (b) ceases operation without a successor; or (c) seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors’ arrangement, composition or comparable proceeding, or if any such proceeding is instituted against that party (and not dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter). If Client terminates during the Subscription Term for any reason other than the foregoing, Client will be responsible for the Fees due for the entire Subscription Term. ThetaCore may also terminate this Agreement or any related Order Form immediately if Client breaches Section 2 (Use Rights; Restrictions) or Section 5 (Client Obligations), for repeated violations of other Sections of this Agreement, or if applicable, a breach of the parties’ BAA (if applicable).
7.4. Effect of Termination. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement or any Order Form: (a) Client’s license rights will terminate and it must immediately cease use of the Services (including any related ThetaCore Technology) and delete (or, at ThetaCore’s request, return) any and all copies of any ThetaCore documentation, scripts, passwords or access codes and any other ThetaCore Confidential Information in Client’s possession, custody or control and (b) Client’s right to access any Client Data in the applicable Services will cease, and unless otherwise precluded by a BAA, ThetaCore may delete any such data in its possession at any time. If ThetaCore terminates this Agreement for cause as provided in Section 7.3 (Termination for Cause), any payments for the remaining portion of the Subscription Term will become due and must be paid immediately by Client. Except where this Agreement specifies an exclusive remedy, all remedies under this Agreement, including termination or suspension, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that may be available to a party.
7.5. Survival. The following Sections survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: 2 (Use Rights; Restrictions); Section 3 (Client Data); Section 6 (Fees and Payment); Section 7 (Term and Termination); Section 8 (Confidential Information); Section 9 (ThetaCore Technology); [Section 10 (Third-Party Products and Integrations);] 11 (Indemnification); 12 (Disclaimers); 13 (Limitations of Liability); 14 (Dispute Resolution); and 15 (General).
8. Confidential Information
8.1. Obligation of Confidentiality. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement, each party (as the receiving party) must: (a) hold in confidence and not disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to third parties; and (b) use the other party’s Confidential Information only as necessary to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement. Each party may share the other party’s Confidential Information with its employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors having a legitimate need to know (which, for ThetaCore, includes the subcontractors referenced in Section 14.4), provided that such party remains responsible for any recipient’s compliance with the terms of this Section 8 and these recipients are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective than this Section.
8.2. Exclusions. These confidentiality obligations do not apply to (and Confidential Information does not include) information that: (a) is or becomes public knowledge through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was known by the receiving party prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (c) is rightfully obtained by the receiving party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without using the disclosing party’s Confidential Information. A party may also disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to the extent required by law or court order, provided it gives advance notice (if permitted by law) and cooperates in any effort by the other party to obtain confidential treatment for the information.
8.3. Remedies. The parties acknowledge that disclosure of Confidential Information may cause substantial harm for which damages alone may be an insufficient remedy, and so upon breach of this Section each party is entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to any other remedies it may have at law.
9. ThetaCore Technology
9.1. Ownership and Updates. By accepting this Agreement, Client acknowledges that it is obtaining only a limited right to use the Services and irrespective of any use of the words “purchase”, “sale” or similar terms, no ownership rights are transferred to Client under this Agreement and, except as expressly permitted by such limited right, Client may not make any use of ThetaCore Technology. Client agrees that ThetaCore (or its suppliers) exclusively retains all rights, title and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in and to all Services, products, any and all related documentation, software, technology, code, know-how, logos, trademarks, service marks, and templates (including in any reports or output obtained from the Services), anything delivered as part of support, materials or other services, and any updates, modifications or derivative works of any of the foregoing, including as may incorporate any Feedback (as defined below) (“ThetaCore Technology”) provided by ThetaCore (which is deemed ThetaCore’s Confidential Information) and reserves any licenses not specifically granted herein. Furthermore, ThetaCore exclusively owns and reserves all right, title, and interest in and to ThetaCore’s Confidential Information and any data, in anonymized or aggregated form that does not identify you, any End Users, or any natural person, generated or derived from the use or operation of the Services, including volumes, frequencies, bounce rates, and performance results for the Services. The Services are offered as an on-line, hosted product. Accordingly, Client acknowledges and agrees that it has no right to obtain a copy of the software behind any Services and that ThetaCore at its option may make updates, bug fixes, modifications or improvements to the Services from time-to-time.
9.2. Feedback. If Client elects to provide any suggestions, comments, improvements, information, ideas or other feedback or related materials to ThetaCore (collectively, “Feedback”), Client hereby grants ThetaCore a worldwide, perpetual, non-revocable, sublicensable, royalty-free right and license to use, copy, disclose, license, distribute and exploit any such Feedback in any manner without any obligation, payment or restriction based on intellectual property rights or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement limits ThetaCore’s right to independently use, develop, evaluate or market products, whether incorporating Feedback or otherwise.
10. Third-Party Products and Integrations.
ThetaCore may arrange with third-party providers, or facilitate Client making arrangements with third-party providers, that provide products or services in connection with the Services described in this Agreement. If Client elects to use applications, integrations, add-ons, software, code, online services, systems and other products not developed by ThetaCore (“Third-Party Products”) in connection with or otherwise made available through the Services, those products may make Third-Party Content available to Client and may access Client’s instance of the Services, including Client Data. Client agrees and acknowledges that use of such Third-Party Products may require Client to enter into separate terms and conditions with such third-party. ThetaCore is not a party to any such terms and will not be liable thereunder. ThetaCore does not warrant or support Third-Party Products or Third-Party Content and disclaims all responsibility and liability for these items and their access to the Services, including their modification, deletion, disclosure, or collection of Client Data. ThetaCore is not responsible in any way for Client Data once it is transmitted, copied, or removed from the Services.

In the event ThetaCore assumes exclusive defense of such claims, Client agrees to cooperate with our defense of any such claims.

HOWEVER, ANY STATUTORILY REQUIRED WARRANTIES UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IF ANY, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE SHORTEST PERIOD AND MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
12.2.

13. Limitations of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THETACORE OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST OR INACCURATE DATA, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, LOST PROFITS, COSTS OF DELAY, REPUTATIONAL HARM, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, COVER, RELIANCE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, HOWEVER CAUSED, EVEN IF INFORMED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL THETACORE’S OR ITS SUPPLIERS’ TOTAL LIABILITY EXCEED IN AGGREGATE THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY CLIENT TO THETACORE FOR THE APPLICABLE SERVICE(S) OR RELATED SERVICE(S) IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM FOR FREE ACCESS SUBSCRIPTIONS OR BETA RELEASES PROVIDED WITHOUT CHARGE, THETACORE’S TOTAL LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED IN AGGREGATE FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50.00 US).

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
14. Dispute Resolution.
If a dispute arises between the parties related to this Agreement or the Services provided therefrom, and the dispute cannot be settled through informal negotiations, the parties agree to resolve their dispute (referred to herein as “Claim(s)”) as follows:
14.1. Mediation. The parties agree to participate in mediation to settle their Claims in accordance with the rules and procedures found in Utah Code § 78B-10-101 et seq. (Utah Uniform Mediation Act and referred to as “UUMA”) and this Agreement before a party can file a judicial action, whether in a court of law, an administrative body, government agency, or otherwise. If there are any conflicting provisions between UUMA and this Agreement, the provisions in this Agreement will govern. Mediation must be conducted within sixty (60) days from a party receiving written notice of Claims from a complaining party. The notice must contain a detailed description of the nature of the Claims and the requested relief sought. A neutral mediator will be selected as mutually agreed upon by the parties. The mediator’s fees and costs will be paid to the mediator at the end of mediation, with both parties equally sharing the mediation costs and paying their own legal fees and costs. Mediation will occur in Salt Lake City, Utah.
14.2. Judicial Action. If the parties are unable to resolve the Claim pursuant to the mandatory mediation referenced above (or if one of the parties refuses to participate in the mandatory mediation or fails to respond to a complaining party’s request for mediation), the parties may subsequently file a judicial action.
14.3. Disputes Not Subject to the Mediation Process. The following claims or actions are not subject to the mandatory mediation provisions of this Section 13:
14.4. Class Action Waiver. Any action under these Terms of Service will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class/representative/collective actions are not permitted. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN EACH’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS, COLLECTIVE AND/ OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, SUCH AS IN THE FORM OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER. Further, unless both you and ThetaCore agree otherwise, a mediator, judge, court, or other judicial entity may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
15. General.
15.1. Assignment. This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party’s permitted successors and assigns. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the advance written consent of the other party, except that ThetaCore may assign this Agreement without consent to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, reorganization, acquisition or other transfer of all or substantially all of its assets or voting securities.

15.7. Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement (except payment obligations) if the delay or failure is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, such as a strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, disruption in transportation systems, disruption of labor force, national or state emergency, failure or reduction of power or telecommunications or data networks or services, or government act or order.

Material modifications are effective upon the earlier of your acceptance of the modified Terms or upon your next subsequent Subscription Term. Immaterial modifications will become effective upon posting or notification, and continued use of the Services or Website, following the update, will constitute acceptance of the updated Terms. If Client does not agree to the updated Terms, Client will no longer have the right to use the Services. Except as otherwise described in this Section, any modification or amendment to this Agreement must be made in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of each party (each in its discretion). No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under this Agreement. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision, whether similar, nor will any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of such provision or any other provision or of the right to enforce such provision or any other provision. Waivers must be made in writing and executed by a duly authorized representative of the waiving party.
15.9. Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for ease of reference only. They are not intended as a complete re-statement of the matters contained under each heading, and you acknowledge that you have read and understand all the text of this Agreement, and not just the headings.
15.10. Severability.

15.11. No Third-Party Rights. Nothing in this Agreement confers on any third party the right to enforce any provision of this Agreement. Client acknowledges that each Subscription only permits use by and for the legal entity or entities identified in the Subscription Documentation and not any affiliates.
