We have no obligation to provide Support Services for Free Versions, Beta Versions, or Free Trials. Support is provided “AS AVAILABLE” and may be modified or discontinued at any time.
    2. Service Availability. We provide the service levels and service credits, if any, as set forth in a Service Order on a product by product basis. 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. The Service depends on the availability of the Subscriber Data from you and third-party data providers. You are responsible for making the Subscriber Data available that is necessary for us to provide the Service.

SERVICE CREDITS OR REFUNDS ARE NOT PROVIDED FOR SUSPENDED SERVICE TIME.
    4. 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.

  4. Third-Party Products
    1. Third-Party Products. Any third-party product or services that interoperates with the Services (e.g., a Third Party App) is provided pursuant to the terms of the applicable third-party agreement. We assume no responsibility for, and specifically disclaim any liability or obligation with respect to, any third-party product or service.
    2. Third Party Apps. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS OR CONTENT. 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 grant us permission to allow the provider of that Third Party App to access Subscriber Data as required for the interoperation of that Third Party App with the Service. We are not responsible for any disclosure, modification, or deletion of Subscriber Data by the applicable provider resulting from access by a Third Party App. 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.
    3. Third Party Content. We may provide, or third parties may provide, links to other third-party websites, services, or resources that are beyond our control. We make no representations as to the quality, suitability, functionality, or legality of any third-party content to which links may be provided, and you hereby waive any claim you might have against us with respect to such services. D8AVERSE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT ON THE INTERNET OR WEB PAGES THAT ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE SITE OR POSTS OF USER CONTENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH RESPONSIBILITY CANNOT BE LAWFULLY EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. Your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in promotions of, advertisers or partners found on or through the Site, including payment and delivery of related goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such advertiser or partner. You agree that we are not 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 presence of such advertisers or links to third-party websites or resources on the Site.
  5. Payment and Subscription Terms
    1. Purchase by the Credits. In order to use the Services, you must purchase credits with the Services that are then expended upon the creation of a particular entry/ pole record in the use of certain functionality in the Services. We will display the fees or costs associated with the credit(s) at the time of your purchase, including any tier based or other discounts, and you authorize us to charge the payment method you provide us for the credits that you purchase. ALL PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
    2. Subscription Fees. In the event you select a Subscription based model for services, 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 invoiced as set forth in the applicable Service Order and at the then-current rate for the Service. Fees for additional Service quantities, such as users, as may be applicable, will be invoiced at the time of order, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties. You will pay all amounts in full within 30 days after the invoice date. The charges in an invoice will be considered accepted by you unless we are notified of a good faith dispute in writing within 15 days of the date of the invoice. ALL PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
    3. Service Orders. In the event that credits are purchased through a Service Order rather than directly through our website, all terms and conditions outlined herein are incorporated into each Service Order. D8AVERSE HEREBY GIVES NOTICE THAT IT OBJECTS TO THE INCLUSION OF ANY DIFFERENT OR ADDITIONAL TERMS PROPOSED BY YOU. Any and all additional or different terms and conditions contained in any Service Order, Purchase Order, acceptance, invoices, or other commercial documents are hereby rejected and shall not become part of the Agreement between the parties and any reference to any proposal is solely for the purpose of incorporating the description and Specifications of any Services contained therein to the extent that such description and Specifications do not conflict with the description and specifications on the face of these Standard Terms and Conditions. ALL PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
    4. Nature of the Credits. THE CREDITS ARE NOT REFUNDABLE, TRANSFERABLE OR REDEEMABLE FOR CASH OR OTHER REMUNERATION. THE CREDITS ARE PERSONAL TO YOU AND MAY ONLY BE USED BY YOU TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE USE OF THE SERVICES. ANY CREDITS THAT ARE UNUSED 365 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE AUTOMATICALLY EXPIRE WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU.
    5. Automatic Renewal. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SERVICES BY DEFAULT INCLUDE AUTOMATIC PURCHASES OF CREDITS THAT WILL CONTINUALLY REFILL YOUR CREDITS AT THE SAME LEVEL OR NUMBER AS YOUR MOST RECENT PREVIOUS PURCHASE.
    6. Cancellation of Automatic Purchase: When purchasing by the credit, you shall have the ability to adjust or turn off the automatic purchase renewal through the settings menu in the Services. For Subscription agreements, those terms will be spelled out in the Subscription agreement entered into by both parties and the terms in that Subscription Agreement shall apply.
    7. 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.
    8. Taxes. The fees stated in a Service Order, Subscription Agreement, or per Credit fees do not include local, state, federal, or foreign taxes (e.g., value-added, goods, sales, services, 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. Taxes may be applied without notice. You acknowledge and confirm that the address you provide in your Account registration is the place of supply to you for Tax purposes. If requested by us, you agree to provide to us your VAT, GST, or similar tax identification number(s) to avoid application of taxes, as applicable, and you will use the ordered Site in the location(s) in accordance with the provided VAT or GST identification number(s). The parties’ obligations under this Section (Tax Responsibility) will survive the termination or expiration of these Terms.
    9. Currency. 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.
    10. 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.
  6. Term and Terminations
    1. Term. This Agreement commences on the effective date specified in the Service Order or Subscription Agreement 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 OR SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT, THIS AGREEMENT AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS FOR ADDITIONAL SUCCESSIVE TERMS OF EQUAL DURATION TO THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING TERM UNLESS AT LEAST 30 DAYS BEFORE THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT TERM EITHER PARTY PROVIDES WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE OTHER PARTY THAT IT DOES NOT INTEND TO RENEW. If you are purchasing by the credits rather than through a Service Order or Subscription Fees, this Agreement shall remain in effect for so long as your account shows active credits.
    2. Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party does not cure its material breach of this Agreement within 30 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 30-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. In the event you materially breach this agreement and fail to cure it as stated herein, we shall be entitled to terminate your account and cancel all credits without recourse or payment owed.
    3. Suspensions. 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 or violates this Agreement or any applicable laws, 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 your account (as may be applicable or appropriate in our 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.
    4. Post-Termination Obligations. If this Agreement 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; and (e) rights, duties, and obligations under this Agreement, which by their nature would continue beyond the termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement, shall survive termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement. 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.
    5. Post Termination Data Handling. Upon termination or expiration, we may retain Subscriber Data for up to 30 days to allow you to export it, after which we may delete it without notice or liability. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DELETION OF SUBSCRIBER DATA AFTER THE RETENTION PERIOD.
  7. Free Trials, Special Offers and Beta Versions
    1. Free Trials. If you receive access to the Services or Services features on a free or trial basis or as an early access offering (“Free Trials”), use is permitted only for your internal evaluation until the earlier of (a) the end of the free trial period; (b) the start date of any purchased credits or subscriptions ordered by you for such Service(s); or (c) termination by us in our sole discretion. Free Trials may be inoperable, incomplete or include features that we may never release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, you understand and agree that Free Trials are made available on an “AS IS,” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis and without any warranty, indemnity, support, accuracy, commitment to availability, security or other related obligation of any kind under this Agreement unless otherwise required by applicable law. OUR LIABILITY FOR A FREE TRIAL WILL NOT EXCEED US $50.
    2. Beta Versions. From time to time, we may make available for you to try, at your sole discretion, certain functionality related to the Service, which is clearly designated as beta, pilot, limited release, non-production, or by a similar description (each, a “Beta Version”). Beta Versions are intended for evaluation purposes and not for production use, are not supported, and may be subject to additional terms. We may discontinue Beta Versions at any time in our sole discretion and may never make them generally available. WE HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY HARM OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH A BETA VERSION.
    3. Termination of Free Trials, Offers, and Beta Versions. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable laws, we reserve the right to reduce the term of a trial period, Beta Version, or Special Offers, or end the same altogether without prior notice.
  8. Confidential Information
    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.
    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.
    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 this Agreement, 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 purge your Subscriber Data and your Service environment from our systems. The obligations in this Section 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 for as long as such information remains a trade secret under applicable law. Not withstanding the foregoing, we shall be entitled to retain one copy for legal archival and retention purposes.
    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. YOU GRANT TO US A ROYALTY-FREE, FULLY PAID, NON-EXCLUSIVE, PERPETUAL, IRREVOCABLE, WORLDWIDE, TRANSFERABLE LICENSE TO DISPLAY, USE, COPY, MODIFY, PUBLISH, PERFORM, TRANSLATE, CREATE DERIVATIVE WORKS FROM, SUBLICENSE, DISTRIBUTE, AND OTHERWISE EXPLOIT SUCH CONTENT WITHOUT RESTRICTION.
    5. Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, you acknowledge that, as between you and us, all our Confidential Information you receive from us, including all copies thereof in your possession or control, in any media, is proprietary to and exclusively owned by us. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title or interest in or to any of our Confidential Information, except as provided in these Terms. Any incorporation of our Confidential Information into any of your own materials will not render our Confidential Information non-confidential.
    6. Remedies. The receiving party acknowledges that any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information may cause irreparable harm, and the disclosing party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief without posting a bond, in addition to other remedies.
  9. Data
    1. Data Security. We implement and maintain physical, electronic, and managerial procedures intended to protect against the loss, misuse, unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of Subscriber Data. These measures include encryption of Subscriber Data during transmission to the Service, and encryption of backups of Subscriber Data and authentication credentials at rest. We will notify you of any unauthorized access to, or use of, Subscriber Data that comes to our attention. If any unauthorized disclosure of Subscriber Data resulting from your use of the Service comes to our attention, we will work with you to investigate the cause of such unauthorized disclosure, and will work together in good faith to take the steps reasonably necessary to prevent any future reoccurrence and to comply with applicable data breach notification laws.

    5. Independent Allocations of Risk. Each provision of this Agreement that provides for a limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranties, or exclusion of damages is to allocate the risks of this Agreement between the parties. This allocation is reflected in the pricing offered by us to you and is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between the parties. Each of these provisions is severable and independent of all other provisions of this Agreement. The limitations in this section will apply notwithstanding the failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy in this Agreement.
  14. Dispute Resolution
    1. Governing Law. This Agreement will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the local laws of the State of Florida, U.S.A., without reference to its choice of law rules and not including the provisions of the 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
    2. Mandatory Arbitration. Any legal actions arising under the Agreement must be initiated within one year after the cause of action arises. Prior to filing any legal claim, the initiating Party must contact the other Party and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE PARTIES AGREE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES (THE “RULES”) OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) BY ONE ARBITRATOR APPOINTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH RULES. The arbitration shall take place in the State of Florida, in the English language and the arbitral decision may be enforced in any court. The prevailing party in any arbitration action or proceeding shall be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees.
    3. Opt Out for Arbitration. CUSTOMER MAY OPT-OUT OF THE BINDING ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT BY PROVIDING NOTICE TO US BY EMAIL AT LEGAL@D8AVERSE.COM WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST BECAME SUBJECT TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION.
    4. Other Legal Rights. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations, or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy, or unauthorized use of intellectual property in any state, or federal court with lawful jurisdiction for such claims. This section does not prohibit either party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other equitable relief to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm, or to any action by us to collect amounts not paid to us when due. Judgment upon the award rendered by an arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party will be entitled to receive from the other party its attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with any arbitration or litigation instituted in connection with this Agreement. The parties will maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits.
    5. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration section, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
    6. Waiver of Class Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER, OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable, or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth herein shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
  15. Force Majeure
    1. Other than payment obligations, neither party will be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under this Agreement on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by this Agreement as a result of any cause or condition beyond its reasonable control, including an act of nature, war, fires, natural disaster, governmental actions or regulations, pandemics, epidemics, governmental shutdowns, terrorism, cyber-attacks, communication or utility failures or casualties or the failures or acts of third parties. The affected party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove the causes of non-performance.

Notices are deemed given five (5) business days following the date of mailing, upon delivery to a courier, or upon confirmation of email receipt.
  17. Severability
