5.2 Data Security.

During the term of this Agreement, Fusebill will maintain (i) its PCI Level 1 Certification; and (ii) administrative, technical and physical safeguards that are consistent with industry standards, designed to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of the Subscriber Data within Subscriber’s Fusebill account; however, Fusebill and the Fusebill Related Parties have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the deletion, loss, accidental disclosure of, or failure to store, the Subscriber Data, documents and/or other communications maintained or transmitted by the Service.

5.3 Data Access and Controls.

6. 
   PAYMENT TERMS

6.1 Charges.

6.1.1 Fee Description. Subject to Section 6.4 (Changes to the Service and Charges),the subscription fee for Subscriber’s access to and use of the Service is based on:

(a) Subscriber’s Revenue Band or

(b) a percentage of the actual net invoiced amounts that Subscriber uses the Service to process (plus a fixed monthly platform fee).

As used in this Agreement, “Revenue Band” refers to the maximum net invoiced amount that Subscriber either (i) self-reports to Fusebill (as of the Effective Date, in respect of the first year of Subscriber’s use of the Service or such other time period as agreed in the applicable Order Form); or (ii) uses the Service to process (in respect of any renewal term(s), as of the anniversary of the Effective Date). If Subscriber’s subscription fee is based on (ii) above, the applicable Revenue Band for each renewal term will be calculated based on the maximum net invoiced amount that Subscriber uses the Service to process during the three (3) month period immediately prior to the anniversary of the Effective Date, times four (4). Should the three (3) month period immediately prior to the anniversary of the Effective Date not accurately reflect Subscriber’s projected net invoiced revenue (due to the number and timing of quarterly and/or annual billings), Fusebill reserves the right to adjust Subscriber’s applicable Revenue Band. For clarity, all Revenue Bands and/or net invoiced amounts are based on Subscriber’s gross billings (i.e. inclusive of any sales or similar taxes applicable to such billings and irrespective of any write-offs or credits that Subscriber may apply).

If Subscriber’s subscription fee is based on (b) above and Subscriber self-reports and/or uses the Service to process net invoiced amount(s) in a currency other than USD, Fusebill will treat all non-USD currencies as USD. For example, if Subscriber uses the Service to process $1M CDN, $1M USD and €1M in a given month, Subscriber’s subscription fee for that month will be based on $3M USD (plus Subscriber’s fixed monthly platform fee).

If Subscriber elects to access and use Third-Party Services in connection with Subscriber’s use of the Service (see Section 9 below), such access and use will require payment of additional transaction fees. Current pricing for Fusebill Payments is provided to Subscriber upon registering with our third-party platform partner; however, this pricing may change without notice (unless otherwise prohibited) from time to time at the discretion of our third-party payment platform partner. Any continued access and use by Subscriber of Fusebill Payments after a change indicates Subscriber’s agreement with the new fees and charges, as of the effective date of the change. If Subscriber does not agree to the new fees and charges or the third-party payment platform partner’s applicable terms of use, Subscriber must discontinue using Fusebill Payments.

Subscriber agrees to pay all subscription fees, transaction fees, administrative charges (see Section 6.2), professional services fees and, as applicable, taxes (collectively, “Charges”) for use of the Service in the currency in which Subscriber is billed and according to the applicable payment plan in effect for Subscriber’s country of residence, as specified on the applicable Order Form.

6.1.2 Access. Access to and use of the Service, including all related Professional Services, is subject to Subscriber’s payment of the Charges set out on the applicable Order Form.

6.1.3 Payment Terms. Unless otherwise stated on the applicable Order Form or in this Agreement, (i) subscription fees, professional services fees and taxes (as applicable), are payable in advance as of the Effective Date, either monthly or annually as indicated on the Order Form; and (ii) all invoiced Charges are in U.S. dollars, are due upon receipt, are non-cancelable and once paid, are non-refundable. Unless otherwise specified on the Order Form, late payments (on any undisputed amounts) may be subject to interest charges of 1.0% per month (or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower) as well as the expenses associated with Fusebill’s efforts to collect such amounts.

6.1.4 Professional Services: Scheduling and Acceptance. Professional Services includes Implementation, Integration, Customization and Product Feature Commitments. If Subscriber is required to complete certain tasks in order for Fusebill to timely deliver the Professional Services selected by Subscriber, Subscriber agrees to (i) provide a dedicated project manager to facilitate interaction between Fusebill and Subscriber; (ii) provide the necessary technical resources to complete development work that Subscriber may need to undertake, (iii) make decisions and supply documents and other materials as needed; and (iv) promptly approve all deliverables and respond to issues needing resolution. Any failure by Subscriber to act in accordance with (i) – (iv) above, including, excessive stopping and starting of Fusebill’s delivery of the Professional Services, may result in scope and/or fee and/or delivery date changes and gives Fusebill the right to require reimbursement from Subscriber for any incremental costs that it incurs as a result of such failure(s). Unless otherwise specified on the Order Form (or in the applicable Statement of Work, if any), all Professional Services activity will be conducted remotely from Fusebill’s offices in Ottawa, Canada during Fusebill’s normal business hours. Fusebill acknowledges and agrees that no travel or out-of-pocket expenses shall be incurred other than in accordance with this Agreement and/or an executed Statement of Work. If travel is required, Subscriber agrees to reimburse Fusebill for reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Fusebill representatives in accordance with Fusebill’s then current Travel & Expense Guidelines.

Fusebill shall be deemed to have fulfilled its Professional Services obligations to Subscriber when it accomplishes the activities described in the Order Form and/or Statement of Work, as applicable. Feedback requiring changes to Professional Services deliverables due to non-conformance with the specifications or other requirements set forth in the Order Form and/or Statement of Work must be received in writing by Subscriber’s assigned Fusebill representative within three (3) business days of Subscriber’s receipt of the deliverable at issue, failing which, such deliverable will be deemed accepted. Upon receipt of such notification, Fusebill with work with Subscriber to mutually agree on the required modifications. Deviations from the specification provided by Subscriber to Fusebill that are identified in writing to Fusebill within fifteen (15) days of Subscriber’s receipt will be timely resolved at the expense of Fusebill, provided that such corrective action does not exceed a total of two (2) hours. Unless otherwise agreed by Fusebill, all Professional Services described in the Order Form and/or Statement of Work are to be delivered within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days of Subscriber’s acceptance of this Agreement, failing which, Fusebill may, in its sole discretion, require Subscriber to forfeit the right to receive such Professional Services. Extensions to this deadline may be requested via a written change order and such requests are subject to Fusebill’s reasonable review and written approval.

Professional Services resources will only be assigned and schedules confirmed upon Subscriber’s acceptance of this Agreement (or a signed Statement of Work, if required). Note that customization services are subject to detailed review upon acceptance of this Agreement, the outcome of which could impact Fusebill’s anticipated delivery date(s). Fusebill therefore reserves the right to change delivery dates associated with Subscriber’s customization services, if any, following acceptance of this Agreement.

Professional Services: Description of Services

In accordance with the terms applicable to Subscriber, as provided in the applicable Order Form , Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that: (a) Professional Service activities that require customization of the Service require a separate Statement of Work (see Customization below); (b) Professional Services do not apply to any free trial of the Service; and (c) additional terms and conditions apply to the following categories of Professional Services:

Implementation – Fusebill will work with Subscriber to define a representative sampling of Subscriber’s product catalog in order to illustrate the Service’s various configuration options (which may or may not comprise Subscriber’s entire catalog). The remaining catalog items will be configured by Subscriber. Subscriber Data import activity, if any, requires (i) a minimum of ten (10) business days’ notice; (ii) confirmation by Fusebill of a confirmed import date (based on Subscriber’s resource availability); and (iii) receipt of Subscriber’s final import file not later than 48 hours before Subscriber’s scheduled import date, in order that Fusebill may validate it for content and format. If the import file delivery date is missed, or if the content or format are not acceptable, Subscriber’s import date reservation may be forfeited and rescheduled by Fusebill at its sole discretion and convenience. Other details regarding the Subscriber Data’s import file format and the applicable submission process are available from Fusebill’s on-line help, available at https://support.fusebill.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004499248-Importing-Your-Customer-Data-Into-Fusebill.

As used in this Agreement and Subscriber’s Order Form and/or Statement of Work (as applicable), “Go-Live Date” means the mutually agreed date on which Subscriber expects to process invoices using the Service. The Go-Live Date will be agreed to by Subscriber and Fusebill. Both parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the Go-Live Date. After the Go-Live Date, Fusebill is under no obligation to continue to import Subscriber Data.

Fusebill will only accept responsibility for delays that affect the Go-Live Date if such delays are the direct result of issues that have been reported to and acknowledged by Fusebill. If applicable, the transfer of End Users’ credit card information from another PCI compliant vendor to Fusebill is Subscriber’s responsibility , as is the responsibility to provide Subscriber Data (including but not limited to customer names and addresses, subscription details, product catalog information, etc.) in a timely manner as mutually agreed during the Implementation planning phase. If Fusebill’s receipt of this information is delayed and Subscriber’s Go-Live Date is negatively impacted as a result, Fusebill reserves the right to enforce the original fee schedule associated with Subscriber’s Professional Services as described in the applicable Order Form and/or Statement of Work. Feature gaps and/or product enhancement requests will only qualify for revised payment terms at Fusebill’s sole discretion. 

Integration – If Subscriber authorizes Fusebill to perform integration services, such services will be delivered against a single, generally available, version of the third-party software with which the Service is being integrated. Alternatively, Subscriber may choose to integrate the Service with Subscriber’s systems. Any feature or functionality not supported by the generally available version of the Fusebill plug-in is outside the scope of this Agreement. Integration between systems may result in some loss or damage to Subscriber Data. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Fusebill is not responsible for: (i) any such loss or damage associated with any integration efforts authorized and performed by either Subscriber and/or Fusebill; [and [(ii) with the exception of integration services performed by Fusebill in relation to Advanced Taxation (as further referenced below),] ensuring that integration services provided by it which use APIs from third-party systems will remain upwardly compatible should such third-party systems be upgraded to a newer version. If such an incompatibility occurs, upon Subscriber’s written request, Fusebill will provide Subscriber with a cost and scope estimate to upgrade the integration services previously provided. [If Subscriber’s use of the Service includes an Advanced Taxation integration service, such use is subject to the following additional terms of use: www.avalara.com/terms. For clarity and without limiting the foregoing, Subscriber’s use of Avalara AvaTax ITB is limited to Subscriber’s internal business use and Subscriber may not allow End Users, licensees or third parties to use the Avalara AvaTax service.]

Custom Reports – A Custom Report is defined as a single export of data from the Fusebill database, consisting of rows and columns in “raw” CSV format, delivered to Subscriber either one time or on a recurring schedule. The number of Custom Reports that Subscriber is entitled to receive depends on Subscriber’s Implementation Services level, as described in Subscriber’s Order Form and/or the applicable Statement of Work. Once the Custom Report has been deployed to the production environment, it will consume one Custom Report entitlement. Subscriber has the ability to run each Custom Report either on demand or as scheduled by Subscriber.

Subscriber is responsible for the following: (i) summarization of the data along various axes; (ii) creation or maintenance of pivot tables or other Excel constructs which can be layered on top of the raw data for analysis. For clarity, requests for the same data with different sorting or filtering parameters each count as a separate Custom Report Request against Subscriber’s allotted total, as do reports created to replace a retired report.

Changes are allowed during the “design” phase of each report. During this phase, Subscriber will work with a Fusebill Support resource to define the content of the file within the constraints listed above and finalize on a format and content. Once finalized, Fusebill will email Subscriber the definition of the Custom Report. Subscriber must respond in email confirming the report definition. Fusebill will then execute the report query and transmit the file to Subscriber based on the parameters described above. Subscriber will have a period of thirty (30) business days in which to validate the receipt of the first Report and confirm that it meets the requirements outlined during the design phase, after which the Custom Report will be deemed acceptable. If applicable, the recurring schedule will then be configured.

Changes to an approved Custom Report Design can be done on request to Fusebill Support (support@fusebill.com). Additional Professional Services fees may apply. Fusebill will notify Subscriber in advance if an additional fee is required and written approval is required prior to proceeding to make any requested changes.

Customization – Customization services require a separate Statement of Work which includes, a detailed Project Plan and Project Assumptions. If an item described in the applicable Statement of Work does not occur in the manner or time frame specified or is altered during the course of Fusebill’s delivery of such services due to a change in Subscriber’s requirements (which may occur as a result of new information being discovered by either Subscriber or Fusebill), then unless otherwise agreed by Fusebill, such circumstance shall (i) constitute a material change to this Agreement; and (ii) entitle Fusebill to alter the Project Plan, applicable fee and or Fusebill responsibilities that are or were predicated on assumptions in this Agreement.

Customization services that relate to services and usage other than the published Fusebill interface are not upwardly compatible and must be re-applied at Subscriber’s sole cost to each Service upgrade. Upon written request by Subscriber, Fusebill will provide Subscriber with a cost and scope estimate to upgrade the customization services previously provided.

Fusebill is not responsible for ensuring that any customization service which uses APIs from third-party systems will remain upwardly compatible should such third-party systems be upgraded to a newer version. If such an incompatibility occurs, upon Subscriber’s written request, Fusebill will provide Subscriber with a cost and scope estimate to upgrade the customization services previously provided.

Product Feature Commitments – Fusebill will use commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill commitments specified in Subscriber’s Order Form and/or Statement of Work as “product feature commitments” (if any); however, such commitments are subject to ongoing review and accordingly, Fusebill reserves the right to change delivery dates associated with such commitments at any time.

Subject to Section 4.3, Fusebill reserves the right to re-use the concepts, specifications and implementation of any custom services and/or product feature commitments delivered to Subscriber. Fusebill hereby grants to Subscriber an irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free right and license to use, modify and create derivative works from such custom services, product feature commitments and their related deliverables, provided that Subscriber agrees to refrain from distributing such custom services and/or product feature commitments (and/or their related deliverables), or any portion thereof, as a stand-alone good or service.

6.1.5 Failure to Use Account. Failure to use Subscriber’s account will not be deemed a basis for refusing to pay any Charges invoiced by Fusebill in accordance with this Agreement.

6.1.6 Update Payment Information. Subscriber will:

(i) Keep the billing, credit card and payment information Subscriber provides to Fusebill (including name, credit card number and expiry date, mailing address, email address and telephone number) accurate and up to date; otherwise, Fusebill may suspend the Service;

(ii) Promptly advise Fusebill if Subscriber’s credit card information changes due to loss, theft, cancellation or otherwise and be responsible for any Charges submitted before Fusebill could reasonably act on Subscriber’s notice; and

(iii) Be liable for Subscriber’s failure to pay any Charges billed to Subscriber by Fusebill caused by Subscriber’s failure to provide Fusebill with up to date billing information.

6.1.8 Invoice Inquiries. If Subscriber has any questions regarding any Charges that have been applied to Subscriber’s account, Subscriber must contact Fusebill Finance at billing@fusebill.com within thirty (30) days of the applicable charge date.

6.2 Processing Costs.

To offset its additional processing costs, Fusebill may bill Subscriber for administrative charges as set from time to time for administrative or account activities including: collection efforts due to non-payment or having a balance over Subscriber’s credit limit (if applicable) or returned or rejected payments as detailed in the applicable Order Form or Statement of Work. All administrative charges charged to Subscriber will be indicated on Subscriber’s invoice or receipt and Subscriber will pay all such charges on receipt.

6.3 Taxes.

All Charges are exclusive of value added, sales or other taxes, except as required by law. If Subscriber has a valid tax exemption certificate, please notify Fusebill and provide a copy of it prior to Fusebill’s billing of any Charges. If Subscriber is a Canadian resident, Subscriber will be charged H.S.T, G.S.T. and/or P.S.T., as applicable. If Subscriber resides outside of Canada, Subscriber’s place of residency will be deemed not to be Canada unless Fusebill is notified otherwise. It is Subscriber’s responsibility to inform Fusebill if Suscriber’s residency changes and to provide a mailing address and proof of residency. Non-Canadian residents will be deemed not to have registered for G.S.T. unless Fusebill is notified otherwise.

6.4 Changes to the Service and Charges.

Fusebill may change the Service (or any aspect thereof, including Professional Services) or Charges (including one-time Charges) at any time upon a minimum of thirty (30) days’ notice to Subscriber by posting the change on the Website, by sending notice via an email to the email address Subscriber provides on registration, by including a message on Subscriber’s invoice, in writing, or by any other notice method reasonably likely to come to Subscriber’s attention. Unless otherwise indicted on Subscriber’s Order Form, if Subscriber’s access to and use of the Service remains unchanged on renewal (i.e. no change to Revenue Band or no other change in the subscription plan that applies to Subscriber), Fusebill reserves the right to increase Subscriber’s subscription fee by not more than 8% per annum.

Unless otherwise agreed by Fusebill, Subscriber may only change the subscription plan that applies to Subscriber (as further described in Section 6.1.1 (a) and (b) above) on a minimum of sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Fusebill; such change will become effective on the next anniversary of the Effective Date.

Fusebill reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to impose upper limits on various aspects of Subscriber’s use of the Service (including, employee logins, customers, invoices, API requests, subscriptions and emails), in relation to both Subscriber’s subscription and related sandbox account(s) (if any); such limits, if any, shall be as detailed in the applicable Order Form. Use in excess of such limits shall entitle Fusebill to increase the subscription fee applicable to Subscriber in accordance with Fusebill’s then-applicable fee schedule.

If Subscriber does not accept any of the above-described change(s), Subscriber’s sole recourse is to terminate the Service in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement. Continued access to and use of the Service after the change(s) come(s) into effect constitutes Subscriber’s acceptance of the change(s) and Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that (i) Subscriber will be deemed to have accepted the change(s), with no additional written agreement or express acknowledgement required; and (ii) Subscriber will continue to be responsible to pay for the Service unless Subscriber terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.

6.5. Pre-authorized Payment.

By providing a credit card to Fusebill as part of the account set-up for monthly or annual pre-authorized payments, Subscriber authorizes Fusebill to charge Subscriber’s credit card for all outstanding Charges and outstanding account balances due under the Agreement, and this constitutes Fusebill’s good and sufficient authority for so doing. If Subscriber’s pre-authorized payment fails, Fusebill may immediately suspend or terminate Subscriber’s account without notice to Subscriber and collect Charges owing using other collection mechanisms. Subscriber is solely responsible for all Charges incurred under Subscriber’s account by Subscriber or third parties.

7. TERM AND TERMINATION

7.1 Term.

This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and will remain effective until terminated by either party as set forth below.

Unless otherwise specified on the applicable Order Form, the term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue for 1 year periods (billed annually in advance, unless otherwise specified on the applicable Order Form, in accordance with Section 6 (Payment Terms)) and shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods, unless either party elects to terminate in accordance with this Agreement or provides prior written notice of non-renewal to the other party at least thirty (30) days’ prior to the end of the then-current term.

7.2 Service Suspension or Termination by Fusebill.

Without limiting other remedies, Fusebill may limit, suspend or terminate this Agreement and Subscriber’s use of the Service (and all Fusebill IP), and delete Subscriber’s user account and/or user ID, with immediate effect, if any outstanding invoice is more than thirty (30) days past due, or if Fusebill determines (acting reasonably) that Subscriber is (i) in breach of any of the terms of this Agreement, (iii) acting inconsistently with respect to any Fusebill policies, or (iv) engaging in fraudulent or illegal activities. Fusebill will effect such suspension or termination by providing notice to Subscriber in writing and/or by preventing access to Subscriber’s account.

7.3 Effect of Termination.

Fusebill and the Fusebill Related Parties will not be liable in respect of any damage caused by the termination of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Service (and therefore, Subscriber’s access to Fusebill’s system) will terminate. Termination of this Agreement will not relieve Subscriber of any obligation to pay any accrued Charges and Fusebill will submit a final invoice in respect of unpaid Charges (if applicable).

7.4 Transition Support.

If Subscriber wishes to have Fusebill export a copy of Subscriber Data to another PCI-compliant vendor, Subscriber must submit a written request to Fusebill within sixty (60) days of the termination of this Agreement. Subscriber Data exports vary in complexity and duration depending on the amount and type of Subscriber Data stored on Subscriber’s behalf. Accordingly, Subscriber Data export may require Subscriber’s execution of a Data Transfer Release and Indemnification Agreement (in the form provided by Fusebill at Subscriber’s request) and is subject to the parties agreeing in good faith to the terms for such export in a Statement of Work, including, the anticipated timeframes, resources and costs associated with such export. All applicable costs are the responsibility of Subscriber and must be paid in advance of the export. If Subscriber does not notify Fusebill within thirty (30) days of the termination of this Agreement that Subscriber wishes to export the Subscriber Data and/or agreement is not reached on all applicable export terms and conditions, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Fusebill may delete the Subscriber Data from its systems with no liability to Subscriber.

8. SUPPORT SERVICES

8.1 Service Levels.

8.2 Support Named Contacts.

Fusebill customer service and technical support in relation to the Service are provided to Fusebill customers only. For the avoidance of doubt, Subscriber will be responsible for providing first line support to End Users. Within ten (10) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Subscriber must provide Fusebill with the name and contact information for not more than three (3) named contact(s) who are authorized by Subscriber to access Fusebill’s support services.

The providers of Third-Party Offerings are solely responsible for such Third-Party Offerings, the content therein, any warranties (to the extent that such warranties have not been disclaimed), any training, support or maintenance (unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Fusebill), and any claims that Subscriber or any other party may have relating to such Third-Party Offerings, including Subscriber’s use of them. Inclusion in the Service of Third-Party Offerings does not imply Fusebill’s endorsement, adoption or sponsorship of, or affiliation with, such Third-Party Offerings. Fusebill has no obligation to monitor or maintain Third-Party Offerings and may disable or restrict access to any Third-Party Offerings at any time without notice. Access to and use of any Third-Party Offerings, including the availability thereof and uptimes related thereto, is at Subscriber’s own risk and is solely determined by the relevant third-party provider and is subject to additional terms and conditions applicable to such Third-Party Offerings. Subscriber is solely responsible for maintaining appropriate accounts in good standing with the providers of Third-Party Offerings. Fusebill will have no liability or other obligation to Subscriber for any Third-Party Offering or Subscriber Data exported to a Third-Party Offering, including but not limited to any unavailability of any Third-Party Offerings, or any third-party provider’s decision to discontinue, suspend or terminate any Third-Party Offerings.

If Subscriber elects to subscribe to Fusebill Payments though the Service, Subscriber must agree to the third-party payment platform partner’s applicable terms of use made available to Subscriber upon registering for an account with Fusebill’s third-party payment platform partner. Further, if Subscriber elects to access and use any Third Party Offerings, including any applications and services offered by our integration partners in connection with the Service, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that such applications and services are subject to additional terms and conditions of the integration partners, as applicable and are solely the responsibility of such Third Parties. Fusebill has no liability or obligation in connection with such Third Party Offerings.

By using or enabling any Third-Party Offering, Subscriber is expressly permitting Fusebill to disclose Subscriber Data or other information to the extent necessary to any applicable provider of such Third Party Offering for the Service to interoperate with, or for Subscriber to utilize or benefit from, the Service with such Third-Party Offering. Fusebill is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of Subscriber Data resulting from access by, or transmission to, a Third-Party Offering.

Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Fusebill and its Affiliates are third party beneficiaries of the Terms of Service, including any End User License Agreements, as applicable, for such Third-Party Offerings, and that, upon Subscriber’s acceptance of the terms and conditions applicable to any such Third-Party Offerings, Fusebill will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce the applicable terms and conditions against Subscriber as a third party beneficiary thereof.

12.3 Severability. Should any term or provision hereof be deemed invalid, void or unenforceable either in its entirety or in a particular application, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by law, the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

12.4 No Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy by either party hereunder shall constitute a waiver of that right. No waiver of any provision of the Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the waiving party.

12.5 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be deemed to be in breach of the Agreement for any failure or delay in performance (other than payment of Fees due hereunder) caused by reasons beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, third party strikes, pandemics or epidemics or any related restrictions imposed by applicable health authorities, failure of suppliers, fires, floods, earthquakes or Internet or telecommunications failures.

12.13 Dispute Resolution. Except for actions related to non-payment of Fees or breach of a party’s proprietary rights, the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to discuss and resolve in good faith any dispute arising under the Agreement as soon as practicable and without the necessity of any formal proceeding, including, if requested in writing by either party, by each appointing one or more senior management representatives not directly involved with the day-to-day provision or use of the Services, who shall endeavor to resolve such dispute at a meeting to take place at a mutually agreeable time and place.
