3. TERM; TERMINATION

3.1 Term. This Agreement commences on the effective date specified in the Service Order and continues for an initial subscription term of 12 months or such other 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 equal in length to the initial subscription term specified in the Service Order unless at least 60 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.

3.2 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. 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 fees, we may, without limitation to any of our other rights or remedies, suspend performance of the Services until we receive all amounts due, or may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Subsection.

3.3 Post-Termination Obligations. Following termination, you shall immediately cease use of the Services and any license granted to you under any agreement related to your use of the Services shall immediately terminate.

4. FEES

4.1 General. As a condition to receiving the Services, you shall pay all one-time setup fees (if any) and recurring or subscription fees, usage fees, and other amounts further described in, and in accordance with, the applicable Service Order (“Fees”). Subscription fees and all other recurring fees are payable immediately upon the start of the initial subscription term or renewal term, as applicable, except as otherwise set forth on a Service Order or in this Agreement. Usage fees are payable when incurred.  Non-recurring fees are due before we will ship any equipment or provide any Services. Fees are exclusive of taxes, duties or similar governmental assessments, including, value-added, sales, GST, or use taxes. You are responsible for paying all taxes associated with this Agreement. We may adjust subscription fees after the earlier to occur of the (a) expiration of the initial subscription term, or (b) the 12-month anniversary of the start of the initial subscription term. We may adjust any Fees that are pass-through in nature or that may change due to third-party pricing changes at any time. You hereby authorize us (either ourselves or through an Affiliate) to charge the credit card—or other electronic payment method—associated with the payment method you have provided us for all Fees as they become due. You are responsible for ensuring that the payment method information on file is current at all times. Missed billing cycles, for any reason, may result in loss or interruption of Services.

4.2 Late Payments. Notwithstanding our right set forth in Section 4.1 to automatically charge for the payment of Fees, we may invoice you for any Fees, and you shall pay such invoice within fifteen (15) days of receipt thereof via credit card, ACH, or any other payment method we may deem acceptable in our sole discretion. If payment is not made on the respective due date, we may, at our discretion and in addition to other remedies available, (i) charge a late fee on the unpaid balance at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum lawful rate permitted by applicable law, and compounded monthly, and (ii) suspend your access to the Services. You agree to reimburse us for all collection costs, attorney’s fees incurred in collecting overdue payments, and interest for any overdue amounts.

4.3 Early Termination Fees. In the event you cancel or terminate any Service Order prior to its natural expiration, you agree to pay an early termination fee equal to the amount of the remaining Fees set forth in such Service Order (pro-rated for any partial months) as if no such early cancellation or termination had occurred, plus a decommissioning fee in an amount consistent with our current rates (collectively, the “Early Termination Fee”). The Early Termination Fee will become immediately due and payable upon an early cancellation or termination and represents our fees for permitting an early termination and not a penalty.

We are not responsible, and you agree to hold us harmless, for any disclosure, modification or deletion of such data resulting from access by any Third Party Service or its provider. Any acquisition by you of a Third Party Service, and any exchange of data between you and any Third Party Service or its provider, is solely between you and the applicable third-party provider. We do not warrant or support Third Party Service or other third-party products or services. Further, we cannot guarantee the continued availability of any Service features that interoperate with Third Party Service, and may cease providing them without being in breach of this Agreement or entitling you to any refund, credit, or other compensation, if for example and without limitation, the provider of a Third Party Service ceases to make the Third Party Service available for interoperation with the corresponding Service features in a manner acceptable to us (a “Third Party Service Termination”). This Agreement will remain in full force and effect following any Third Party Service Termination until this Agreement is terminated or expires in accordance with these Terms. 

15. MODIFICATIONS

15.1 To the Agreement. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change these Terms on a going-forward basis at any time. All modifications are effective upon publication. Disputes arising under this Agreement will be resolved in accordance with the version of this Agreement that was in effect at the time the dispute arose.

15.2 To the Services. We may update, upgrade or change the Services from time to time in our sole discretion. We will provide all such updates, upgrades or changes to the Services that we make generally available to our other similar customers on similar terms, but we otherwise reserve the right to charge an additional fee.

16. GENERAL PROVISIONS

16.1 Product Specific Terms. Subject to the Services you have purchased from us, the additional terms and conditions found at lumistry.com/client/products-services-description shall apply and are hereby incorporated by reference.  

16.2 Access by Competitors. You may not access the Service if you are our competitor, except with our prior written consent. In addition, you may not access the Service, or allow or provide others access to the Service, for purposes of monitoring its availability, performance, or functionality, or for any other benchmarking or competitive purpose, including, without limitation, copying any ideas, functions, or processes included in or derived from the Services or building a competitive offering.

16.3 United States Only. The Services are intended for use only within the United States and its territories. We make no representation that the Services are appropriate, or are available for use outside the U.S. Those who choose to access and use our Services from outside the U.S. do so on their own initiative, at their own risk, and are responsible for compliance with applicable laws.

16.4 U.S. Government Use. If the Service is licensed under a United States government contract, you acknowledge that the Service is a “commercial item” as defined in 48 CFR 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” as such terms are defined in FAR Section 2.101 and Section 252.227-7014 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (48 CFR 252.227-7014) and used in 48 CFR 12.212 or 48 CFR 227.7202-1, as applicable. You also acknowledge that the Service is “commercial computer software” as defined in 48 CFR 252.227-7014(a)(1). United States government agencies and entities and others acquiring under a United States government contract will have only those rights, and will be subject to all restrictions, set forth in these Terms.

16.5 Relationship. We will be and act as an independent contractor (and not as the agent or representative of you) in the performance of these Terms.

16.6 Assignment and Delegation. You may not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under these Terms (in whole or in part) without our prior written consent, except in connection with a change of control, merger, or by operation of law. Your assignment or delegation will not relieve you of your obligations under these Terms nor release you of your liability under these Terms. We may voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law assign any of our rights or delegate any of our obligations under these Terms without your consent, including but not limited to delegating responsibility of providing some or all of the Services to one or more subcontractors or our Affiliates. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Subsection will be null and void. Subject to this Subsection, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of each party’s respective permitted successors and permitted assigns.

16.7 Notices. Except as provided in Section 13.1, any notice required or permitted to be given in accordance with these Terms will be effective if it is in writing and sent by certified or registered mail, or overnight courier, return receipt requested, to the appropriate party at the address at the address provided by the other party and with the appropriate postage affixed. Either party may change its address for receipt of notice by notice to the other party in accordance with this Subsection. Notices are deemed given two business days following the date of mailing or one business day following delivery to a courier.

16.8 Force Majeure. We will not be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under the Agreement on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by the Agreement as a result of any cause or condition beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, changes to law or regulations, embargoes, war, terrorist acts, acts or omissions of third party technology providers, riots, fires, earthquakes, floods, power outages, strikes, weather conditions, viruses, malware or ransomware, or acts of hackers, internet service providers or any other third party, or your or your Affiliates’ acts or omissions.

16.9 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed and construed under the laws of the State of Texas without regard to conflicts of law provisions. Any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be brought in the federal or state courts, as applicable, in Texas, and each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts and not including the provisions of the 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

16.10 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each of our Affiliates is a third party beneficiary of these Terms to which we reserve the right to extend the benefits, obligations, and privileges without specifically naming such Affiliate as a party. Without limiting the foregoing, liability to you in connection with the Agreement shall reside solely with us and not with our Affiliates. Any Affiliate may execute a separate Service Order for Services subject to the same terms and conditions of these Terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, neither we nor any of our Affiliates have any joint and several liability with one another to you.  Your rights and obligations under these terms are with respect to us and you agree to seek the recovery of any damages solely against us, and not with any of our Affiliates.

16.11 Waiver. Failure, neglect, or delay by a party to enforce the provisions of the Agreement or its rights or remedies at any time, will not be construed as a waiver of the party’s rights under the Agreement and will not in any way affect the validity of the whole or any part of the Agreement or prejudice the party’s right to take subsequent action. Exercise or enforcement by either party of any right or remedy under the Agreement will not preclude the enforcement by the party of any other right or remedy under the Agreement or that the party is entitled by law to enforce.

16.12 Severability. If any part of the Agreement is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the remaining portions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If any material limitation or restriction on the use of the Service under the Agreement is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, your right to use the Service will immediately terminate.

16.13 Headings. Headings are used in the Agreement for reference only and will not be considered when interpreting the Agreement. The singular of any term, including any defined term, shall include the plural and the plural of any term shall include the singular.

16.14 Entire Agreement. These Terms contain the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement and supersede all previous communications, representations, understandings, and agreements, either oral or written, between the parties with respect to said subject matter. No usage of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing between the parties will be used to modify, interpret, supplement, or alter the terms of the Agreement.
