To the extent Services relate to one or more Properties listed in an Order Form, the license herein is limited to the Properties in the Order Form only. All rights not expressly granted to Client are reserved by G5. There are no implied rights. Client will not (and will not permit any third party to): (i) mirror any Content on any G5 website or any server owned or controlled by G5 without the prior written permission of an officer of G5; (ii) modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Services, reverse engineer, reverse assemble or otherwise attempt to discover any G5 Proprietary information; (iv) use the Services for timesharing or service bureau purposes or otherwise for the benefit of a third party; (v) remove any proprietary notices or labels from the Services; or (vi) provide any content or information from the Services to any unauthorized third party. 2.2 Client may not use the Services or any G5 Proprietary Information for any purpose other than as expressly permitted in this Agreement.

3. Prices; Payment Terms.

3.1 Price. All Order Forms will set forth the fees for Services including professional services for Statements of Work and payment terms.

3.2 Payment Terms. All fees shall be due and payable as indicated in the applicable Order Form. Client agrees to pay G5 all fees when due and will be considered delinquent after thirty (30) days of the due date. The prices do not include any taxes and Client shall pay any applicable sales, use, excise, withholding or other taxes applicable to sale or furnishing of the Services. Delinquent payments shall bear interest at the rate of one-and-one-half (1.5%) per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) from the payment due date until paid in full. Client will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by G5 in collecting unpaid or delinquent amounts. Client may not require G5 to use a third party vendor for billing without G5’s prior written consent. If G5 consents to such billing method, Client shall be responsible for all fees and costs associated therewith, including without limitation, any fees incurred by G5. G5 reserves the right to suspend the Services (by advance written notice or email) until Client pays all past due amounts.

Client shall not reproduce or allow any such G5 Proprietary Information to be delivered to or used by any third party. In the event of the termination of this Agreement for any reason, Client shall promptly deliver to G5 all materials and documents of any nature in its possession pertaining to any G5 Proprietary Information. As between Client and G5, G5 is the sole and exclusive owner of all G5 Proprietary Information.

4.2 Client Content. Client may upload Client Content to the Services or provide Client Content to G5 in connection with Client’s use of the Services. G5 does not verify, endorse, or claim ownership of any Client Content, and Client retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Client Content. Client grants to G5 during the term of this Agreement a non-exclusive, royalty-free, world-wide right to modify, create derivative works and publicly display Client Content solely and exclusively as part of G5’s performance of Services to Client.

4.3 No Transfer of Ownership. Except for the limited licenses expressly provided in this Agreement or any signed attachment hereto, neither party has or will acquire, any right, title or interest in any of the products, services, technology or intellectual property rights of the other party as a result of this Agreement.

5. Confidential Information.

5.1 As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all confidential information of a party (“Disclosing Party”) disclosed to the other party (“Receiving Party”), that is designated in writing as confidential or that reasonably should be considered confidential in light of the content of the information and the circumstances of its disclosure, as well as the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including pricing and other terms reflected in all Order Forms hereunder) and all G5 Proprietary Information. Each party as the Receiving Party understands that the other party as the Disclosing Party has disclosed or may disclose information relating to the Disclosing Party’s business. The Receiving Party agrees: (i) to take reasonable precautions to protect such Confidential Information and to only use the Confidential Information to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) not to divulge to any third person any such Confidential Information. The Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any information that the Receiving Party can document (a) is or becomes generally available to the public, or (b) was in its possession or known by the Receiving Party prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party, or (c) was rightfully disclosed to it by a third party, or (d) was independently developed without use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. This Section 5 will not be construed to prohibit the disclosure of Confidential Information if such disclosure is required by law or order of a court or other governmental authority. The parties agree to give the other party prompt notice of the receipt of any subpoena or other similar request for such disclosure.

5.2 Return of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, or earlier upon Disclosing Party’s request, the Receiving Party will promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information, together with all copies and summaries of Confidential Information in its possession or under its control.

5.3 No Transfer. This Agreement does not transfer any ownership rights to any Confidential Information.

5.4 Equitable Relief. The parties acknowledge that the remedies available at law for any breach of this Section 5 will, by their nature, be inadequate. Accordingly, a party may seek injunctive relief or other equitable relief to restrain a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5 or to specifically enforce this Section 5, without proving that any monetary damages have been sustained.

6. User Data.

The Services may collect or have access to data and personally identifiable information about individual users of Services (“User Data”). User Data will be treated by G5 as set forth in the G5 Privacy Policy.

7. Third Party Services.

The Services or G5 Platform may contain hyperlinks to web sites that are not controlled by G5. Client acknowledges and agrees that G5 is not responsible for and does not endorse or accept any responsibility over the content or use of third party sites, including, without limitation, the accuracy or reliability of any information, data, opinions, advice or statements made on these web sites. Client further understands that Client’s use of such third party sites and Third Party Services are governed by separate agreements accompanying such portions of the Services and Client is responsible for complying with the terms and conditions of such agreements. Client dealings with other entities promoted on or through the Services, including payment and delivery of related goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between Client and such other entity. Client agrees that G5 shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the promotion of such other entities through the Services.

8.2 Services Operations. G5 warrants that the Services will operate or be provided in material conformity with the applicable documentation provided by G5 and that the functionality of the Services will not be materially decreased during a Term. For any breach of this warranty, the Client’s sole and exclusive remedy and G5’s sole and exclusive liability shall be for G5 to correct any reported failure in the Services causing a breach of this warranty. G5 shall have no obligation with respect to a warranty claim hereunder unless notified of such claim within thirty (30) days of the first instance of any material functionality problem. If G5 is unable to correct any reported failure in the Services causing a breach of this warranty within ten (10) business days, Client may terminate the Services that G5 is unable to correct upon written notice to G5, and G5 will refund to Client any unused pre-paid fees for such terminated Services. Subject to the foregoing warranty G5 reserves the right, for any reason, in G5’s sole discretion and without notice to Client, to modify or change the Services or G5 Platform, to provide additional features or functions, or to enhance, delete or modify Content or its format or presentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, G5 may change, modify, suspend or discontinue any and all aspects of the Services, G5 Platform or Content to reflect changes in Third Party Services (or the terms on which such are made available) and, except for a refund to Client of any unused pre-paid fees for such terminated Third Party Services, G5 will not be liable to Client or to any third party for doing so.

8.3 Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT AS STATED IN THIS SECTION 8, THE SERVICES AND G5 PLATFORM ARE PROVIDED ON AN AS-IS BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION, CONDITION, OR GUARANTEE OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND CLIENT’S USE THEREOF IS AT CLIENT’S OWN RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, G5 DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, CONDITIONS, OR GUARANTEES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, SERVICE QUALITY, NONINFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

9. Limitation of Liability.

EXCEPT FOR PAYMENTS TO THIRD PARTIES UNDER THE INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND FOR A PARTY’S FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES EVEN IF THE OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ADDITION, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO A PARTY’S FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR A BREACH OF A PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 2, 4, OR 5, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID TO G5 UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE PRECEDING THREE MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE OCCURRENCE OF SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED THAT LIABILITY ARISING UNDER ANY OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS MADE A PART OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FURTHER LIMITED AS PROVIDED IN SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

10. Indemnification.

10.1 G5, at its expense, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Client against any losses, costs and damages arising from a claim by a third party against Client that the Services or the G5 Platform infringe any copyright or any United States patent issued as of the Effective Date or misappropriates any protected trade secret; provided that Client will provide G5 with (i) prompt written notice of the claim, (ii) sole control over the defense or settlement (provided, however, that any such settlement shall not result in financial liability on Client or require its admission of any fault without its prior written consent which shall not unreasonably be withheld), and (iii) reasonable support and cooperation with regard to the defense. In the event that G5’s right to provide the Services is enjoined or in G5’s reasonable opinion is likely to be enjoined, G5 may, at its expense, obtain the right to continue providing the Services, replace or modify the Services so that they become non-infringing but remain functionally equivalent, or if such remedies are not reasonably available, terminate this Agreement without liability. G5 shall have no indemnification liability under this Section 10 or otherwise to the extent a claim or suit is based upon (a) use of the Services or the G5 Platform in combination with software or hardware not provided by G5 if infringement would have been avoided in the absence of such combination, (b) modifications to the Services or G5 Platform not made by G5, if infringement would have been avoided by the absence of such modifications, (c) use of any version other than a current release of the Services or G5 Platform, if infringement would have been avoided by use of a current release, or (d) any claim against third party software, content or services that may be included in the Services or G5 Platform.

10.2 Client at its expense, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless G5 against any losses, costs and damages arising from a claim by a third party for any breach by Client of Sections 2, 4, 5 or 8.1, provided that G5 will provide Client with (i) prompt written notice of the claim, (ii) sole control over the defense or settlement (provided, however, that any such settlement shall not result in financial liability on G5 or require its admission of any fault or the making of any public statement without its prior written consent), and (iii) reasonable support and cooperation with regard to the defense.

11. Term.

Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 12, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect from the Effective Date stated in an Order Form signed by Client and G5, and will continue so long as any Services or Statement of Work under an Order Form between the parties [is in effect/ are being provided by G5].

12.1 Generally. Either party may immediately terminate this Agreement, including any Order Form or Statement of Work, and any order previously accepted by G5: (a) in the event of any proceedings, voluntary or involuntary, in bankruptcy or insolvency by or against the other party; or in the event of the appointment, with or without the other party’s consent, of an assignee for the benefit of creditors, or of a receiver; or if the other party admits in writing its inability to pay its debts when due; or (b) in the event the other party has materially breached this Agreement and, if curable, has not cured such breach within 30 days after receiving written notice thereof by the non-breaching party.
