Customer shall comply with all laws and the requirements stated in this Agreement and the MYA Privacy Policy. Customer shall not permit any third party to access or use the MYA SaaS, except as permitted in this Agreement. In addition, Customer shall not directly or indirectly through or with one or more other persons (i) decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the MYA SaaS to (a) build a competitive product or service, (b) build a product or service using similar ideas, features, functions, or graphics of the MYA SaaS,, or (c) copy any ideas, features, functions, or graphics of the MYA SaaS, (ii) use the MYA SaaS to develop a competing service, (iii) provide, lease, lend, use for timesharing or service bureau purposes, or otherwise use or allow others to use the MYA SaaS for the benefit of any third party, or (iv) remove any copyright, trademark, proprietary rights, disclaimer, or warning notice included on or embedded in any part of the MYA SaaS (including any screen displays, etc.).

Customer shall not access or use the MYA Proprietary Content and Applications (defined below) or otherwise transfer or export or re-export to countries that the U.S. maintains an embargo (collectively, “Embargoed Countries”), or to or by a national or resident thereof, or any person or entity on the U.S. Department of Treasury’s List of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Table of Denial Orders (collectively, “Designated Nationals”), each of which may change from time to time. By using any MYA Proprietary Content and Applications, Customer represents and warrants that Customer is not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of, an Embargoed Country or Designated National. The MYA Proprietary Content and Applications may use encryption technology that is subject to licensing requirements under 15 C.F.R. Parts 730-774.

1.3 MYA Proprietary Content and Applications. Except for the limited rights granted in Section 1.1 (Limited Right to Access and Use) and an SOW, MYA and its licensors reserve all right, title, and interest in and to the MYA SaaS, the API, MYA’s other software and systems, Activation Data, MYA’s web applications, browser extensions, software applications, tools, and other application services, and MYA’s logos, marks, and other content MYA provides (collectively, the “MYA Proprietary Content and Applications”). In the event that Customer makes improvements or other modifications to the MYA Proprietary Content and Applications, Customer hereby grants to MYA a nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with the right to assign and sublicense) to use, display, copy, distribute, modify, make derivative works of, sell and import such modifications and improvements. Nothing in the preceding sentence is to be construed as granting MYA any rights to use Customer’s trademarks in commerce.
1.4 Product Data Owned by Customer. As between Customer and MYA, Customer owns all data and other content (including any text, graphic, audio, video, or other content) provided to MYA or input into the MYA SaaS by Customer or its users, which data and other content is not otherwise a part of MYA Proprietary Content and Applications (collectively, the “Product Data”). Customer hereby grants MYA a revocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license (with the right to assign and sublicense) to use, display, copy, distribute, and make derivative works of Product Data for purposes of enabling MYA to offer and perform its services and fulfill its obligations under this Agreement and to analyze performance and to improve or change the MYA SaaS.

1.5 Suspension of Access to MYA SaaS and Professional Services. MYA understands that consistent availability of the MYA SaaS is important to users, and strives to maintain same. However, MYA may suspend access to the MYA SaaS for any of the following reasons: (a) to prevent damages to, or degradation of, the MYA Proprietary Content and Applications; (b) to comply with any law, court order, or other governmental request; or (c) if Customer violates the terms of this Agreement. MYA shall use reasonable efforts to provide Customer with notice before or promptly following any suspension of access to the MYA SaaS. MYA shall restore access to the MYA SaaS as soon as the event giving rise to suspension has been resolved. Customer acknowledges that the API and the MYA SaaS may contain functionality that monitors Customer’s compliance with this Agreement. Customer shall not circumvent or attempt to circumvent any of the foregoing without MYA’s prior authorization. This Agreement is not to be construed as imposing any obligation or duty on MYA to monitor the Product Data or Customer’s use of the API or MYA SaaS.
1.6 Mutual Warranties. Each party represents and warrants to the other that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes a valid and binding agreement enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms; (b) no authorization or approval from any third party is required in connection with such party’s execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement; and (c) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not violate the terms or conditions of any other agreement to which it is a party or by which it is otherwise bound.

Professional Services may be ordered pursuant to an Order Form or statement of work. If MYA provides Professional Services to Customer pursuant to one or more statements of work (each, an “SOW”), each SOW will be considered a part of and an attachment to this Agreement. No SOW will be effective unless it is signed by the parties and references this Section 2.
3. Term. Unless otherwise provided in an Order Form or SOW, the initial term of this Agreement commences on the Effective Date and ends one year from the Effective Date. The initial term and each subsequent renewal term will automatically renew for a period of one year, unless (a) either party provides the other party with notice of its intent not to renew at least 30 days prior to the commencement of the next renewal term, or (b) a subsequent Order Form or SOW extends the term to a later date, in which case such later date will be the basis for subsequent renewals. The initial term and all subsequent renewal terms are referred to together as the “Term.”

Payments not made within the applicable time period are subject to late charges equal to the lesser of (a) one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month of the overdue amount, or (b) the maximum amount permitted under law, plus in either case, costs of collection and reasonable attorneys’ fees. If Customer believes that an invoice is incorrect and Customer desires to obtain an adjustment of such invoice, Customer must provide MYA notice thereof including relevant details within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Fees applicable to a renewal term may be adjusted with sixty (60) days’ notice to Customer prior to the start of such renewal term. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, and similar taxes. Customer shall pay all amounts in U.S. dollars.
6. Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 1.6 (MUTUAL WARRANTIES) AND 1.7 (ADDITIONAL MYA WARRANTY), THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, THE MYA SAAS AND THE MYA PROPRIETARY CONTENT AND APPLICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS-AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. MYA AND ITS VENDORS AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, QUALITY OF INFORMATION, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
7. Limitation of Liability and Damages.

8. Certain Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the terms below when capitalized have the following meanings:
“Force Majeure Event” means any act or event, whether foreseen or unforeseen, that (a) prevents the Nonperforming Party (defined in Section 9.9) from either performing its obligations under this Agreement or satisfying any conditions to the obligations of the other party under this Agreement, (b) is beyond the reasonable control of and not the fault of the Nonperforming Party, and (c) the Nonperforming Party has been unable to avoid or overcome by the exercise of reasonable diligence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Force Majeure Event does not include economic hardship or cost increases.

9. General Provisions.
9.1 Notices. To be effective, any notice, consent, or communication required or permitted to be given in connection with this Agreement must be in writing and personally delivered or sent by messenger, overnight courier, email, or certified mail and addressed to the address specified in the most recent Order Form, to the attention of the persons listed therein. Each party shall promptly notify the other of any change to such party’s address or contact information.

9.2 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or termination (other than termination as expressly permitted by this Agreement) of this Agreement is effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. No failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy or requiring the satisfaction of any condition under this Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties, operates as a waiver or estoppel of any right, remedy, or condition. A waiver made in writing on one occasion is effective only in that instance and only for the purpose that it is given and is not to be construed as a waiver on any future occasion or against any other person. To the extent any course of dealing, act, omission, failure, or delay in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement constitutes the election of an inconsistent right or remedy, that election does not either constitute a waiver of any right or remedy or limit or prevent the subsequent enforcement of any provision.
9.3 Assignment. Without the prior consent of the other party, neither party may (i) assign this Agreement or any of its rights under this Agreement, or (ii) delegate any performance under this Agreement, except in either case, to a successor in connection with a merger, sale of substantially all its assets, or similar reorganization. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this section will be void. This Agreement binds and inures to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
9.4 Governing Law. The laws of the State of Wisconsin govern all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, its interpretation, construction, performance, and enforcement, without giving effect to such state’s conflicts of law principles or rules of construction concerning the drafter hereof. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the state of Wisconsin, for the purpose of any suit, action, or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, which courts are the exclusive forum for any such suit, action, or other proceeding.
9.5 Feedback. Customer’s suggestions, comments, requests, and other feedback (collectively, “Feedback”) to MYA with respect to MYA’s offerings and services are welcomed by MYA. Feedback is voluntary, and MYA is not required to hold Feedback in confidence. Customer hereby grants MYA an irrevocable, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license (with the right to assign and sublicense) to use, display, copy, distribute, make derivative works of, sell and import (a) Feedback and (b) for the sole purpose of improving or changing the MYA SaaS and any other MYA Proprietary Content and Applications, the Product Data. Nothing in this section is to be construed as granting MYA a right to use Customer’s trademarks in commerce.
9.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be affected or impaired.
9.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Order Forms, invoices and any other exhibits and attachments hereto and thereto, constitutes the entire and final agreement between the parties. It is the complete and exclusive expression of the parties’ agreement on the matters contained in this Agreement. All prior and contemporaneous negotiations, term sheets, letters, memoranda, and other discussions and agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties on the matters contained in this Agreement are expressly merged into and superseded by this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be explained, supplemented, or qualified through evidence of trade usage or a prior course of dealings. In entering into this Agreement, neither party has relied on any statement, representation, warranty, or agreement of the other party except for those expressly contained in this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the body of this Agreement and any Order Form, SOW, exhibit, or other attachment, the governing priority of the documents is as follows: (a) this Agreement, (b) Order Form(s), (c) SOW(s), and (d) exhibits or other attachments, unless (i) the conflicting provision expressly states that it amends or supersedes a document that is listed in this sentence as having higher governing priority, (ii) such document is signed or initialed by both parties, and (iii) such document is dated as of or after the document that it amends or supersedes.
9.8 Relationship of Parties. The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors; there is no relationship of agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchise between the parties. Neither party has the authority to bind the other or to incur any obligation on its behalf.
9.9 Force Majeure. If a Force Majeure Event occurs, the party unable to perform (the “Nonperforming Party”) is excused from performing whatever is prevented by the Force Majeure Event to the extent so prevented, and satisfying whatever conditions precedent to the other party’s obligations that cannot be satisfied. A Force Majeure Event does not excuse the payment of money. When the Nonperforming Party is able to resume performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or satisfy the conditions precedent to the performing party’s obligations, it shall immediately do so. The relief offered by this section is the exclusive remedy available to the performing party with respect to a Force Majeure Event. Neither party will have the right to claim damages or to terminate this Agreement as a result of a Force Majeure Event.
