This Agreement governs Your access to and use of the Apty platform for creating, deploying, and using interactive on-screen engagement and guidance, described at www.apty.io (the “Services”). BY EXECUTING ANY APTY REGISTRATION AND ORDER FORM (“Order Form”) THAT REFERENCES THIS AGREEMENT, YOU and Apty AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT.

Grant of Rights. This Agreement grants You the following rights: Installation and Use.

Provision of Services. Apty access is granted per application and is limited to the subscription period mentioned in the applicable Order Form. Customer and users of Customer’s platform (“End Users”) may access and use the Services solely in accordance with this Agreement and any applicable Order Forms. Customer will be primarily responsible for any breaches of this Agreement by Customer and/or End Users.

Facilities and Data Processing. Apty shall use standard industry practices and security measures to transfer, maintain, and process Customer Data and shall in all cases comply with Appendix A. These measures are designed to protect the integrity of Customer Data and guard against the unauthorized or unlawful access to, use, transfer, disclosure, modification, deletion and processing of Customer Data. Customer acknowledges and consents to allow Apty to transfer, store, and access Customer Data in the United States and locations other than Customer’s home country, provided Apty uses the Customer Data solely for its internal purposes to provide the services and in compliance with all applicable laws. For purposes of this Agreement:

(i)“Customer Data” means Account Data, Configuration Data and Usage Data;

(ii) “Account Data” means the account and contact information submitted to Apty by Customer;

(iii) “Configuration Data” means the Customer-specific guidance and engagement information and data created using the Services, in particular the Apty Editor; and

(iv) “Usage Data” means information regarding use of the Services by End Users.
Service Levels. Apty will take commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services in conformance with the Service Level Agreement attached hereto. Service Credits will be the sole and exclusive remedy for any service level breaches under the Service Level Agreement.

Modification to the Services. Apty may, from time to time, update the Services and related materials at its sole discretion provided that such updates will not diminish the services or eliminate functionality. If an update will materially alter functionality, Apty will notify Customer and the parties may thereafter mutually discuss the proposed changes and if necessary execute a change order to account for such material changes to the Services. Apty will utilize the email address associated with the account for any such notification.

Customer Obligations.
Usage Limits. Services are subject to application and usage limits as outlined in this Agreement and/or the Order Form. Additional users may be added only with the prior written consent of Apty.

Unauthorized Use & Access. Customer shall prevent unauthorized use of the Services by the End Users and terminate any unauthorized use of or access to the Services. The Services are not intended for End Users under the age of 16. Customer will promptly notify Apty of any unauthorized use of or access to the Services to which it becomes aware of and agrees to Apty’s immediate suspension and termination of all unauthorized users.

Restricted Uses. Customer shall not copy or duplicate the Services nor reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify or revise the Software, nor use the Services for purposes other than expressly permitted by this Agreement or the applicable Order Form. Customer shall not access the source code of the Services or any part thereof, or create derivative works thereof; nor rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer or otherwise make available any Services in whole or in part to any third party; nor use the Services in any illegal manner or in any way that infringes any right of any third party, including the rights in connection with privacy and intellectual property rights; nor bypass or breach any security device or protection, or input, upload, transmit or otherwise provide to or through the Services or the Apty platform any information or materials that are unlawful or injurious or contain any harmful code; nor disrupt, destroy, impair or otherwise impede any Services; nor otherwise access or use the Services beyond the authorized scope.

Intellectual Property Rights.

Content and Services. Customer retains all ownership and intellectual property rights in and to the Customer Data only. Apty or its licensors retain all ownership and intellectual property rights to the Services and Apty materials, including Apty program and ancillary programs, and derivative works thereof, and to anything developed or delivered by or on behalf of Apty under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all rights to any intellectual property related to the Services (other than to Customer Data) are expressly reserved by Apty and its third-party licensors.

Feedback. Apty may, at its discretion and for any purpose, use, modify, disclose, reproduce, and incorporate into its products and services, license and sublicense or otherwise distribute, any feedback, comments, or suggestions with respect to the Services that Customer or End Users send to Apty (“Feedback”) without any obligation to Customer. Both parties agree that all Feedback is and will be deemed given entirely voluntarily. Further, Apty will be free to exploit the Feedback provided to it as it sees fit, entirely without obligation or restriction of any kind on account of intellectual property rights or otherwise.

Access to Data. Customer hereby grants Apty and its agents all rights and permissions in or relating to Customer Data and the Customer content as are necessary or useful to perform the Services only or to enforce this Agreement and exercise Apty’s rights hereunder. Apty may not use or process Customer Data for any purpose other than as set forth in this Agreement or a Customer Order.

Confidentiality.

By virtue of this Agreement, the parties may have access to information that is confidential to one another (“Confidential Information”). Each party agrees to disclose to the other party only information that is required for the performance of obligations under this Agreement. Confidential Information shall be limited to the terms and pricing under this Agreement, Customer Data residing in the Services environment, Feedback, and all information clearly identified as confidential at the time of disclosure. For the avoidance of doubt, Feedback, all Apty materials and the financial terms of this Agreement will be deemed to be Confidential Information of Apty and Customer Data is deemed the Confidential Information of Customer.

A party’s Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) was or becomes a part of the public domain through no act or omission of the other party in breach of this Agreement; (ii) was rightfully known to, or in the other party’s lawful possession, prior to the disclosure and had not been obtained by the other party, directly or indirectly, from the disclosing party; (iii) is lawfully disclosed to the other party by a third party without restriction on the disclosure; or (iv) is independently developed by the other party without reference to or use of any Confidential Information.

Each party will keep the other party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access or disclosure using at least the degree of care it uses to protect its most sensitive information and in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Each party agrees not to disclose each other’s Confidential Information to any third party other than as set forth in the following sentence for a period of five years from the date of the disclosing party’s disclosure of the Confidential Information to the receiving party; provided, however, that Apty will hold Customer Confidential Information that resides within the Services environment in confidence for as long as such information resides in the Services environment; and, provided, further, that each party will hold the other party’s trade secrets confidential for as long as they remain trade secrets under applicable law. Each party may disclose Confidential Information only to those of its and its’ affiliate employees, agents or subcontractors who are required to protect it against unauthorized disclosure in a manner no less protective than required under this Agreement. Nothing shall prevent either party from disclosing the terms or pricing under this Agreement or orders placed under this Agreement in any legal proceeding arising from or in connection with this Agreement or from disclosing the Confidential Information to a governmental entity or pursuant to a court order as required by law; provided that, the non-disclosing party shall: (i) promptly, and prior to such disclosure, notify the disclosing party in writing of such compelled disclosure so that the disclosing party can seek a protective order or other remedy; and (ii) provide reasonable assistance to the disclosing party, at the disclosing party’s sole cost and expense, in opposing such disclosure or seeking a protective order or other limitations on disclosure.

Fees & Payment.

Fees. Customer will pay all fees specified in any applicable Order Forms. Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order Form:
fees are based on the Services purchased and not actual usage;
payment obligations are non-cancelable.
Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Apty.

Taxes. Apty’s fees do not include sales tax, value-added tax, or any other levies or similar governmental assessments by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Customer’s purchases hereunder. If Apty has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this Section, Apty will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides Apty with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, Apty is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.

Term & Termination.

Term. This Agreement commences upon the execution of an Order Form incorporating these terms (the “Effective Date”) and will remain in effect so long as any Order Forms incorporating this Agreement remains in effect, or until Customer’s subscription to the Services expires or terminates. This Agreement will automatically renew for additional successive one (1) year terms unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Agreement’s express provisions or either Party gives the other Party written notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term (each a “Renewal Term” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”).

Termination for Breach. Either Apty or Customer may terminate this Agreement if: (i) the other party is in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and fails to cure that breach within 30 days after receipt of written notice from the non- breaching party, or if such breach is not curable within 60 days; (ii) immediately, if either party breaches Section 4, or 5; or
(iii) the other party ceases its business operations or becomes subject to insolvency proceedings and the proceedings are not dismissed within 90 days.

Effects of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement: (i) the rights granted by Apty to Customer will cease immediately (except as set forth in this section); (ii) any and all unpaid fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Services prior to termination shall become due and payable according to the applicable payment terms for such fees and expenses; (iii) Apty will provide Customer access to its account so that Customer may export its Customer Data; and (iv) after a commercially reasonable period of time, Apty shall delete any Customer Data relating to Customer’s account. The following sections will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement: Section 4 (Intellectual Property Rights), Section 5 (Confidentiality), Section 7(c) (Effects of Termination), Section 8 (Indemnification), Section 9 (Representations, Warranties, Exclusive Remedies and Disclaimers), Section 10 (Limitation of Liability), and Section 11 (Miscellaneous).

Indemnification.

By Customer. Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Apty and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against all liabilities, damages, and costs (including settlement costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any claim by a third party against Apty regarding: (i) Customer’s rights to the Customer Data, (ii) Customer’s use of the Services in breach of this Agreement or in violation of any applicable law or (iii) negligence or more culpable act or omission (including recklessness or willful misconduct) by Customer or any End User, or any third party on behalf of Customer or any End User.

By Apty. Apty shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Customer and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, permitted successors and permitted assigns from and against all liabilities, damages, costs (including settlement costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any claim by a third party against Customer
for Apty’s infringement or misappropriation any copyright, trade secret, U.S. patent, or trademark right of the third party;
for Apty’s use of Customer Data or the security of Customer’s Data in breach of this Agreement; or (iii) negligence or more culpable act or omission (including recklessness or willful misconduct) by Apty or any third party on behalf of Apty. In no event will Apty have any obligations or liability under this Section8.b.(i) arising from: (i) use of any Services in a modified form by anyone other than Apty or in combination with materials not furnished by Apty that Apty reasonably does not expect Customer to use with such Services and if such infringement would not have occurred but for the modification or combination ; and (ii) any content, information, or data provided by Customer, End Users, or other third parties.

General. The party seeking indemnification will promptly notify the other party of the claim and cooperate with the other party in defending the claim at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party will have full control and authority over the defense, except that: (i) any settlement requiring the party seeking indemnification to admit liability requires prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) the party seeking indemnification may participate in and observe, or join in the defense, with its own counsel at its own expense. If any of the Services or Apty materials are, or in Apty’s opinion are likely to be, claimed to infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate any third-party intellectual property right, or if Customer’s or any End User’s use of the Services or Apty materials is enjoined or threatened to be enjoined, Apty may, at its option and sole cost and expense: (x) obtain the right for Customer to continue to use the Services and Apty materials as contemplated by this Agreement; (y) modify or replace the Services and Apty materials, in whole or in part, to seek to make the Services and Apty materials (as so modified or replaced) non- infringing, while providing materially equivalent features and functionality, in which case such modifications or replacements will constitute Services and Apty materials, as applicable, under this Agreement; or (z) by written notice to Customer, terminate this Agreement with respect to all or part of the Services and Apty materials, and require Customer to immediately cease any use of the Services and Apty materials or any specified part or feature thereof and provide Customer with a pro- rata refund of any fees prepaid hereunder. THE INDEMNITIES ABOVE ARE APTY AND CUSTOMER’S ONLY REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR VIOLATION BY THE OTHER PARTY OF A THIRD PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
