We perform and maintain regular database backups according to the retention policy appropriate for the particular system. We incorporate database and system maintenance operations and processes designed to address data consistency, indexing, and integrity requirements that also help improve query performance. We have implemented and will maintain commercially reasonable measures intended to avoid unplanned Service interruptions. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you in advance of planned Service interruptions. In the event of an unplanned Service interruption, you may contact us for Support Service, as described in this Agreement.

You are responsible for making the Subscriber Data available that is necessary for us to provide the Service.
4. SUPPORT SERVICES
4.1 Support Services. We will provide you with the applicable Support Services for the type or version of the Service to which you are subscribed so long as you are current in payment of the Subscription Fees (if applicable). We have no obligation to provide Support Services for Free Versions, Beta Versions or Free Trials.
4.2 Your Responsibilities. You will provide assistance, cooperation, information, equipment, data, a suitable work environment, and resources reasonably necessary to enable us to perform the Support Services. You acknowledge that our ability to provide Support Services may be affected if you do not meet your responsibilities as set forth above.
5. THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS
5.1 Third-Party Artwork. Depending on the subscription package and features you purchased, the Services may permit you to purchase the artwork of other users of our Services. In such cases, while we may facilitate such transaction by providing you access to the marketplace, you agree that any such transaction is solely between you and the seller. You acknowledge and agree that we do verify or make any assessment as to the quality or authenticity of any artwork sold through the Services and have no duty to do so. We assume no responsibility for, and specifically disclaim any liability or obligation with respect to, any third-party artwork, products or services, and you will hold us harmless as to all such third party-party artwork, products or services. You are solely responsible for all interactions with other users.
5.2 Third Party Apps. Aspects of the Services may be designed to interoperate with Third Party Apps. We do not warrant or support Third Party Apps, regardless of whether the Third Party App is listed by us. If you install or enable a Third Party App for use with the Service, you hereby consent, authorize and grant (i) us and the provider of the Third Party App permission to use Subscriber Data as required for interoperation of that Third Party App with the Service and (ii) us permission to allow the provider of that Third Party App to access, take possession and use Subscriber Data in accordance with such provider’s agreement with you. You agree and acknowledge that we are not responsible for any disclosure, modification, or deletion of Subscriber Data by the applicable provider resulting from such access by a Third Party App and hereby indemnify us for any resulting losses or damages. If we believe a Third Party App violates our policies, this Agreement, applicable law, or the rights of any third party, we may disable the Third Party App and suspend use of the Third Party App until the potential violation is resolved.
6. FEES AND PAYMENT
6.1 Fees and Payment Terms. Unless otherwise specified in a Service Order, the Subscription Fees for the initial subscription term fees set forth in the Service Order are due upon execution of the Service Order. After the initial subscription term, Subscription Fees will be due either monthly or annually as set forth in the applicable Service Order and at the then-current rate for the Service. Fees for additional Service quantities, including additional features or Authorized Users, as may be applicable, will be charged on a pro-rate basis at the time of the increase in Service quantity and thereafter in full for each following subscription term. You will pay all amounts in full when due. Unless expressly provided otherwise in a Service Order, all amounts payable under this Agreement are denominated in United States dollars, and you will pay all such amounts in United States dollars.
6.2 Credit Card. If you use a credit card to set up an account or pay for the Service, you must be authorized to use the credit card information that you enter when you create the billing account. You authorize us to charge you for the Service plus a reasonable processing fee using your credit card and for any paid feature of the Service that you choose to sign up for or use under this Agreement. We may bill: (a) in advance; (b) at the time of purchase; (c) shortly after purchase; or (d) on a recurring basis for a subscription to the Service. If you set up a Free Trial using a credit card or if you paid the Subscription Fees using a credit card, you agree that we may automatically charge your credit card account the applicable Subscription Fee when the Free Trial ends or renew your subscription and charge your credit card account on the one-month or one-year anniversary, as the case may be, of your last subscription date (the “Renewal Date”), unless you cancel your subscription before the end of the Free Trial or the Renewal Date (as applicable). We will automatically renew your subscription on the Renewal Date until you terminate your subscription or we no longer offer the Service to which you subscribed. We will notify you in advance of the difference for recurring Subscription Fees. You must keep all information in your billing account current. You may change your payment method at any time.
6.3 Late Payment. Any amount not paid when due will be subject to finance charges equal to 1.5% of the unpaid balance per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable usury law, whichever is less, determined and compounded monthly from the date due until the date paid. You will reimburse any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by us to collect any amount that is not paid when due. Amounts due from you under this Agreement may not be withheld or offset by you against amounts due to you for any reason.
6.4 Taxes. The fees stated in a Service Order do not include local, state, federal, or foreign taxes (e.g., value-added, sales, or use taxes), or fees, duties, or other governmental charges resulting from this Agreement (“Taxes”). You are responsible for paying all applicable Taxes. If we determine that we have the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes, we will add such Taxes to the applicable invoice and you will pay such Taxes, unless you provide us with a valid tax exemption certificate from the appropriate taxing authority. If a taxing authority subsequently pursues us for unpaid Taxes for which you are responsible under this Agreement and which you did not pay to us, we may invoice you and you will pay such Taxes to us or directly to the taxing authority, plus all applicable interest, penalties and fees.
6.5 Future Functionality. Your purchases are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by us regarding future functionality or features.
7. TERM AND TERMINATION
7.1 Term. This Agreement commences on the effective date specified in the Service Order and continues for the initial subscription term specified in the Service Order, unless this Agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly stated in the Service Order, this Agreement automatically renews for additional successive terms of equal duration to the immediately preceding term unless either party provides written notice to the other party that it does not intend to renew. In such cases, you will continue to have access to the Services until the end of the current subscription period.
7.2 Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party does not cure its material breach of this Agreement within 15 days of receiving written notice of the material breach from the non-breaching party. A breach of this Agreement by your Affiliate, or an Authorized User will be treated as a breach by you. Termination in accordance with this subsection will take effect when the breaching party receives written notice of termination from the non-breaching party, which notice must not be delivered until the breaching party has failed to cure its material breach during the 15-day cure period. If you fail to timely pay any Subscription Fees, we may, without limitation to any of our other rights or remedies, suspend performance of the Service and Support Services until we receive all amounts due, or may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Subsection.
7.3 Suspensions. If you tell us to stop using your payment method without providing a replacement payment method, or we otherwise do not receive timely payment from you for a Service that requires payment, we may, upon notice to you and after a reasonable cure period determined by us in our sole but reasonable discretion, disable various features or suspend your access, in part or in full, to that Service, including but not limited to removing any website we may maintain or provide for you as part of the Services. If you become aware, or if we have reason to believe, that any Authorized User, Third Party App or Subscriber Data constitutes a security threat, is violating this Agreement or any applicable laws, may cause us civil or criminal liability or is engaged in fraudulent activities, you will immediately suspend the Authorized User’s access, use of the Third Party App and/or remove the relevant Subscriber Data (as applicable). If you fail to immediately suspend or remove such user, app or data, we may specifically request that you do so or we may disable the Third Party App, remove the applicable Subscriber Data, suspend the Services and/or disable or limit your account (as may be applicable or appropriate in our sole but reasonable discretion) until such security threat or violation is resolved. Suspension will be to the minimum extent required to resolve the issue, and if we suspend a Third Party App or your account, for any reason, without prior notice to you, we will provide you the reason for the suspension as soon as is reasonably possible.
7.4 Post-Termination Obligations. If a Service Order is terminated for any reason: (a) we have no obligation to provide or perform any Service or Support Services after the effective date of the termination; (b) you will immediately pay to us any Subscription Fees and other amounts that have accrued prior to the effective date of the termination; (c) any and all liabilities accrued prior to the effective date of the termination will survive; (d) you will provide us with a written certification signed by your authorized representative certifying that all use of the Service and Documentation has been discontinued; (e) unless you are using a Free Version or with respect to Free Trials, we will provide a copy of the Subscriber Data in a format determined by us in our sole but reasonable discretion; and (f) Sections and Subsections 1, 3.3, 3.5, 3.7, 5, 7.4, 8, 9.4, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 will survive termination. If you request additional services with respect to the return of the Subscriber Data that is outside of our then current standard data return practices, we reserve the right to refuse to provide such additional services, and if we agree, we may charge for such services. If this Agreement is terminated by us for your uncured material breach or by you other than as a result of a material, uncured breach by us, you will pay to us the amounts due under the applicable Service Order for the remainder of the then-current term.
8. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
8.1 Definition. “Confidential Information” means non-public business information, know-how, and trade secrets in any form, including information regarding our product plans, Beta Versions, terms of this Agreement, and any other information a reasonable person should understand to be confidential, which is disclosed by or on behalf of either party or its Affiliates to the other party or its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or by inspection of tangible objects, and whether such information is disclosed before or after the effective date specified on the Service Order. Confidential Information includes this Agreement and its terms. “Confidential Information” excludes information that (a) is publicly known and made generally available in the public domain prior to the time of disclosure by the disclosing party through no action or inaction of the receiving party; (b) is already in the possession of the receiving party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party, as shown by the receiving party’s files and records; (c) is obtained by the receiving party from a third party without a breach of the third party’s obligations of confidentiality; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information, as shown by documents and other competent evidence in the receiving party’s possession.
8.2 Maintenance of Confidentiality. The party receiving Confidential Information hereunder agrees to take reasonable steps, at least substantially equivalent to the steps it takes to protect its own proprietary information, but not less than reasonable care, to prevent the unauthorized duplication or disclosure of the Confidential Information to third parties without the disclosing party’s prior written consent. The receiving party may disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information to the receiving party’s employees, contractors or agents who reasonably need to have access to such information to perform the receiving party’s obligations under this Agreement, and who will treat such Confidential Information under the terms of this Agreement. We may disclose this Agreement to our auditors, attorneys, other advisors, actual and potential investors and funding sources and their representatives, in each case who agree to hold it in confidence. The receiving party may disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information if required by law so long as the receiving party gives the disclosing party written notice of the requirement prior to the disclosure (where permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the disclosing party’s expense, in limiting disclosure or obtaining an order protecting the information from public disclosure.
8.3 Return of Materials and Effect of Termination. Upon written request of the disclosing party, or in any event upon any termination or expiration of a Service Order, the receiving party will return to the disclosing party or destroy all materials, in any medium, to the extent containing or reflecting any of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information. Following expiration or termination of this Agreement, we may but need not purge your Subscriber Data (or any portion thereof) and your Service environment from our systems provided that we will purge any Subscriber Data for which we have a legal obligation to purge pursuant to a lawful request from you or an Authorized User. The obligations in this Section 8 survive for three years following expiration or termination of this Agreement, except that Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret of the disclosing party will continue to be subject to the terms of this Section 8 for as long as such information remains a trade secret under applicable law.
8.4 Feedback and Other Content. The Service may permit you, your Affiliates, and Authorized Users to submit feedback, user community contributions and comments, technical support information, suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, and messages relating to the use and operation of the Service.
