6.2 Survival of Confidentiality and Responsibilities
The Receiving Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement caused by any of its employees, contractors, agents, or representatives. At any time during or after the term of this Agreement, at the Disclosing Party’s written request, the Receiving Party shall promptly return, and shall require its representatives to return to the Disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Each party’s confidentiality obligations under this Agreement will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains confidential.
6.3 Obligation of Confidentiality
Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement, each party must: (a) hold in confidence and not disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to Third–Parties; and (b) use the other party’s Confidential Information only as necessary to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement. Each party may share the other party’s Confidential Information with its employees, agents, contractors, or subcontractors having a legitimate need to know, provided that such party remains responsible for any recipient’s compliance with the terms of this Section 5 (Confidential Information) and these recipients are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective than this Section 6.
6.4 Exclusions
These confidentiality obligations do not apply to (and Confidential Information does not include) information that: (a) is or becomes public knowledge through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was known by the receiving party prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (c) is rightfully obtained by the receiving party from a Third–Party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without using the disclosing party’s Confidential Information. A party may also disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to the extent required by law or court order, provided it gives advance notice (if permitted by law) and cooperates in any effort by the other party to obtain confidential treatment for the information.
6.5 Remedies
The parties acknowledge that disclosure of Confidential Information may cause substantial harm for which damages alone may be an insufficient remedy, and so upon breach of this Section each party is entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to any other remedies it may have at law.
7.1 Client’s Responsibilities
Client shall provide Remora with the initial information, contextual copy, inventory data, vehicle images and content intended to be displayed or that is needed to complete the development and provisioning of the Technology and of the Services.

Without limiting the foregoing, Client is responsible for all acts and omissions of Authorized Users, and any act or omission by an Authorized User that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if taken by Client will be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Client. Client shall use reasonable efforts to make all Authorized Users aware of this Agreement’s provisions as applicable to such Authorized User’s use of the Services and shall cause Authorized Users to comply with such provisions. Client understands that these Terms and Conditions are subject to change and that the most up to date version of these Terms and Conditions will be posted on the Remora website. It is the Client’s responsibility to review and understand the Terms and Conditions.
7.2 Regarding Third–Party Products
Remora may from time to time integrate its Services with Third–Party Products. For purposes of this Agreement, such Third–Party Products are subject to their own terms and conditions. If Client does not agree to abide by the applicable terms for any such Third–Party Products, then Client should not install, request for Remora to install, or use such Third–Party Products.
7.3 Client Warranty
Client warrants and represents that it is in full compliance with all applicable state, federal, and international laws, rules and regulations and that Client will not use the Services in a manner that would violate or cause Remora to violate any obligation with respect to any such laws, rules or regulations, or amendments thereto, including but not limited to the Federal Trade Commission’s Telemarketing Sales Rule, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act of 1999, the CAN–SPAM Act, and Do Not Call rules and prohibitions.

If Client receives any take–down requests or infringement notices related to Client Data or its use of Third–Party Products, it will promptly stop using these items with the Services and notify Remora immediately. Remora will not be held liable for any consequences of false and/or inaccurate content published through the Technology by Client or its Authorized Users.
8.1 Fees
Unless otherwise specified on the applicable Subscription Documentation, the Services are provided on an ongoing, per license, subscription–basis including automatically recurring payments for periodic charges, according to the terms and conditions referenced in the Subscription Documentation. Client agrees to pay to Remora the fees for the Subscription to the Services as set forth in the applicable Subscription Documentation (collectively, the “Fees”). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Subscription Documentation, payment for all Fees is due within thirty (10) days of the invoice date.
8.2 Payment of Fees
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Subscription Documentation, all Subscription Fees will be paid annually in advance, and all references to currency set forth herein will mean U.S. dollars, with all payments hereunder to be made in U.S. dollars. Subscription Fees are non–refundable and non–creditable, except as expressly set forth in Sections 2.3 (Modification of the Services) and 10.3 (Termination for Cause). If the payment method selected is credit card, ACH, or direct debit, Client authorizes Remora to charge the Subscription Fees automatically, on an auto–renew basis on the first (1st) day of each month for each subsequent Subscription Term. The Subscription will continue unless and until you or Remora terminate your Subscription in accordance with Section 9. You must cancel your Subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fees to your account. Should Remora be unable to process/receive the Fees when due and owing, payment shall be considered overdue. Remora shall have the right to charge interest on all overdue amounts at the annual rate of 18%, compounded monthly, or the maximum lawful amounts, whichever is less. Additionally, after payment becomes overdue, Remora shall have the right to immediately suspend Client’s access to the Technology and/or seek to enforce Client’s payment obligations.

Remora may send notices to the e–mail addresses on Client’s account or, at Remora’s option, to Client’s last–known postal address. Remora may provide operational notices regarding the Services through conspicuous posting of such notice on Remora’s website or through the Technology. Each party hereby consents to receipt of electronic notices and agrees that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that Remora sends to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that those communications be in writing. Remora is not responsible for any automatic filtering that Client, or its network provider may apply to email notifications.

Unless otherwise stated in Client’s Subscription Documentation, the initial term for any Subscription to the Services is twelve (12) months and will automatically renew for subsequent periods of equal duration (the “Subscription Term”), unless either party gives written notice of non–renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the then–current Subscription Term. Client may give notice of non–renewal by sending an email to [email protected]. If no Subscription start date is specified on the applicable Subscription Documentation, the Subscription starts when Client first obtains access to the Services (“Subscription Start Date”). By agreeing to any Subscription Documentation, Client is agreeing to pay applicable fees for the entire Subscription Term. Client cannot cancel or terminate a Subscription Term except as expressly permitted by Section 10.3 (Termination for Cause).
10.2 Suspension of Services
Remora may suspend Client’s access to the Services, remove Client Data, or disable Third–Party Products if it determines that; (a) Client’s account is overdue; or (b) Client has breached Section 2 (Use Rights; Restrictions) or 6 (Client Obligations); or (c) suspension is necessary to prevent harm or liability to other Clients or any Third–Party or to preserve the security, stability, availability, or integrity of the Technology or the Services. Client will remain responsible for payment of Fees during any suspension period. Unless this Agreement has been terminated, Remora will cooperate with Client to restore access to the Services once it verifies that Client has resolved the condition requiring suspension. REMORA WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE, LIABILITIES, LOSSES (INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF DATA OR PROFITS), OR ANY OTHER CONSEQUENCES THAT CLIENT OR ANY AUTHORIZED USER MAY INCUR AS A RESULT OF A SERVICE SUSPENSION.
10.3 Termination for Cause
Either party may terminate this Agreement, including any related Subscription Documentation, if the other party: (a) fails to cure any material breach of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after written notice detailing the breach; (b) ceases operation without a successor; or (c) seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors’ arrangement, composition, or comparable proceeding, or if any such proceeding is instituted against that party. If Client terminates during the Subscription Term for any reason other than the foregoing, Client will be responsible for the Fees due for the entire Subscription Term. Remora may terminate this Agreement or any related Subscription Documentation immediately if Client breaches Section 2 (Use Rights; Restrictions) or Section 7 (Client Obligations), or for repeated violations of other Sections of this Agreement. Client may terminate this Agreement without regard to breach or default upon ninety (90) days written notice to Remora, without any obligation, liability or penalty of any kind.
10.4 Effect of Termination
Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement or any Subscription Documentation: (a) Client’s license rights will terminate and it must immediately cease use of the Technology and the Services and delete (or, at Remora’s request, return) all copies of Remora’s documentation, scripts, passwords or access codes and any other Confidential Information in Client’s possession, custody or control and (b) Client’s right to access any Client Data in the Technology will cease, and Remora may delete any such data in its possession at any time.

11.3 Available Remedy
Remora’s sole and exclusive liability and Client’s sole and exclusive remedy for breach of the limited warranty is set out in this Section 11.3. If Remora cannot reperform the Services within 30 days after Client’s written notice of such breach, Remora in its sole discretion as to amount, shall refund to Client a portion of the Fees previously paid by Client corresponding to the defective Services. Client acknowledges that Remora will not be responsible for Client’s failure to achieve any specific results, productivity, or any other measurable performance. Client acknowledges that Remora shall have no responsibility for any Third–Party disrupting, intruding in part or in whole on all or any part of the Services performed for Client’s website and Remora is not responsible for any loss that may occur in the operation of the Technology implemented under the terms this Agreement.
11.4 Services Disclaimer
Client acknowledges that many of the resources that Remora may employ pursuant to this Agreement are competitive in nature. Client further acknowledges that Remora’s past performance is not indicative of any future results that Client may experience. Remora reserves the exclusive right, for the duration of the Term of this Agreement, to approve or disapprove any design or coding strategies, whether requested by Client or anyone presently employed by Client, that are considered by Remora to be detrimental to the Technology and/or the provision of Services by Remora under this Agreement.
11.5 Third–Party Resources Disclaimer

11.6 No Advice
NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE SERVICES OR REMORA ENTITIES OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE TECHNOLOGY WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE REMORA ENTITIES OR THE SERVICES THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. REMORA DOES NOT PROVIDE ITS CLIENTS WITH LEGAL ADVICE REGARDING DATA PRIVACY OR COMPLIANCE WITH RELEVANT LAW IN ANY JURISDICTION, AND ANY STATEMENTS MADE BY REMORA TO ITS CLIENT(S) DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL ADVICE. USE OF THE SERVICES DOES NOT GUARANTEE COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS IN ANY JURISDICTION.
11.7 Limitations of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL REMORA BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST OR INACCURATE DATA, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, LOST PROFITS, COSTS OF DELAY, REPUTATIONAL HARM, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, COVER, RELIANCE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, HOWEVER CAUSED, EVEN IF INFORMED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION 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 THESE TERMS. FURTHERMORE, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY DAMAGES FROM ANY BREACH BY REMORA WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE AND HAVE FURTHER AGREED THAT THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN THIS SECTION 11.7 ARE REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

In the event Remora retains counsel to defend against such claims, Client agrees to cooperate with our defense of any such claims and to reimburse Remora for any such expenses incurred, including all attorney’s fees and costs.

Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under this Agreement would cause the other party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages, or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise. If any of the provisions of these Terms are held void or unenforceable, such provisions will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary and replaced with a valid provision that maintains the intent of these Terms so that these Terms shall remain in full force and effect and such holding will not impair the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions. Our failure or neglect to enforce any of our rights under these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of that or any other rights we have. These Terms will not be construed to provide any rights or remedies for any Third–Parties. Any disputes or claims under these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or such claim or cause of action is barred.
