2 – Use Rights and Restrictions
2.1 Remora Services
Remora provides Client access to the Technology, Remora’s proprietary multi–product

tools, web stack health monitoring, customized reports, and inventory management tools. The Services
comprise such access and provisioning together with any Free Access Subscriptions or Beta Releases
(as defined below) and any other services Remora may offer from time to time, as defined in Section
1 (Definitions).
Remora shall provide Client the services set forth on the applicable Subscription Documentation.
Remora shall use reasonable diligence in the provisioning and customization of Client’s access
to the Technology and Remora endeavors to deliver the Services to Client on or before the effective
date on the applicable Subscription Documentation (the “Target Delivery Date”). Client
acknowledges and agrees that this delivery date is a good faith estimate and Remora’s failure
to deliver by such date shall not be a default under this Agreement. Remora shall provide the
Services in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Client will, from time to time, enter into a proposal, quote, purchase agreement, order form,
statement of work, or otherwise click to accept or agree to an online registration form constituting
Subscription Documentation (as defined in Section 1 (Definitions)), which references this Agreement
and details the Services ordered from Remora. Client may be provided the option to purchase certain
Services as part of a package deal, as detailed in the applicable Subscription Documentation. Remora
has no obligation to provide anyone access to the Technology, provide any Services, or perform any
tasks not specifically set forth in this Agreement, including any applicable Subscription
Documentation.
2.2 Alteration of Subscription Documentation
Any amendments or modification to any existing Subscription Documentation must be agreed to in
writing by the parties. Remora has no obligation to perform any Services under the amended
Subscription Documentation until the parties have agreed to the effect of such changes on the
applicable Fees.
2.3 Modification of the Services
Remora reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time,
with or without notice to Client except as expressly provided below, to: modify, update, upgrade,
reconfigure, limit, suspend, discontinue, or remove any Service, or any feature, component,
functionality, or offering thereof, in whole or in part incorporated in, installed on, or operating
in connection with the Services or any website hosted or provisioned through the Services. Remora
may exercise the foregoing rights for any reason it deems fit, including without limitation where
Remora determines, in its sole discretion, that such action benefits Remora’s Clients
generally, improves the Technology or the Services, or is necessary or advisable to protect Platform
Integrity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Remora, on a discretionary basis and other than
pursuant to Section 2.16 (Security and Platform Protection Actions) or Section 9.2 (Suspension of
Services), makes a modification, removal, or discontinuation that materially reduces the
functionality of the Services provided to Client, Remora will provide Client with prior written
notice of the change in accordance with Section 8.1 (Notices). No prior notice is required for: (a)
actions taken pursuant to Section 2.16 or Section 9.2; (b) changes that do not materially reduce the
functionality of the Services provided to Client; or (c) the replacement of a Service with a
functionally equivalent Service. Client acknowledges and agrees that no modification, replacement,
removal, or discontinuation of any Service made pursuant to this Section 2.3 or Section 2.16,
including the provision of a functionally equivalent Service, shall constitute a breach or default
of this Agreement, entitle Client to any refund, credit, or set–off (except as expressly
provided in Section 9.2 (Suspension of Services)), or relieve Client of its obligation to pay all
Fees set forth in the applicable Subscription Documentation.
2.4 License for Use of Services and Rights
Subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement, Remora grants Client a
subscription–based, non–exclusive, non–transferable, non–sublicensable,
revocable, limited right and license during the applicable Subscription Term and within the
Territory to: (a) access and use the Services designated on Client’s Subscription
Documentation including through Remora’s web–based Client portal and dashboards solely
for Client’s business purposes; and (b) download, install, and use Remora’s mobile
application(s) associated with the Services solely for Client’s business purposes; in each
case only in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Subscription Documentation.

sublicense or provide access to the Technology to a Third–Party (except Authorized Users as
specifically authorized above); (b) incorporate the Remora Technology (or any portion thereof) into
any site, product or service; (c) use the Technology (or any portion thereof) for time–sharing
purposes or for a Third–Party’s benefit; (d) publicly disseminate benchmark or
comparative performance testing of the Technology (which is deemed Remora’s Confidential
Information), provided that nothing in this clause (d) restricts Client from sharing its own
business metrics and website statistics (such as traffic, leads, and conversion data) with its
accountants, advisors, or dealer peer groups; (e) modify or create a derivative work of the
Technology or any portion thereof; (f) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, translate or

distribute any portion of the Technology other than as specifically permitted above; (i) use the
Technology or the Services in violation of the Acceptable Use Policy; (j) remove or obscure any

other right of any person, or that violates any applicable law; (l) sell, resell, license, rent, or
otherwise transfer for monetary or other valuable consideration any Customer Data or other personal
information collected through the Technology or the Services, including any personally identified
tracking data, as further described in Section 6.5 (No Resale of Consumer Data); or (m) access or
use the Technology or the Services to develop, train, or improve a product or service that competes
with the Technology or the Services, or assist any Third–Party in doing so.
2.6 Reservation of Rights
Remora reserves all rights not expressly granted to Client in this Agreement. Except for the limited
rights and licenses expressly granted under this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement grants, by
implication, waiver, estoppel, or otherwise, to Client or any Third–Party any Intellectual
Property Rights or other right, title, or interest in or to the Technology or any of Remora’s
Intellectual Property.
2.7 Beta Releases and Free Access Subscriptions
Subject to Client’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Remora may provide Client with
certain Services for free or on a trial basis (a “Free Access Subscription”) or with
“alpha”, “beta” or other early–stage Services, integrations, or
features (“Beta Releases”) for the Subscription Term set forth in the applicable
Subscription Documentation (if applicable). This Section and any additional terms Remora provides
with the applicable Free Access Subscription or Beta Release will apply thereto and supersede any
contrary provision in this Agreement. Remora may use good faith efforts in its discretion to assist
Client with Free Access Subscriptions or Beta Releases. Without limiting the other disclaimers and
limitations in this Agreement, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, CLIENT AGREES THAT ANY
FREE ACCESS SUBSCRIPTION OR BETA RELEASE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS
AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, SUPPORT, MAINTENANCE, STORAGE, SLA, OR INDEMNITY
OBLIGATIONS OF ANY KIND. WITH RESPECT TO BETA RELEASES, CLIENT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT
BETA RELEASES MAY NOT BE COMPLETE OR FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND MAY CONTAIN BUGS, ERRORS, OMISSIONS AND
OTHER PROBLEMS FOR WHICH REMORA WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE. ACCORDINGLY, ANY USE OF A BETA RELEASE IS
AT THE CLIENT’S SOLE RISK. You may choose to use Beta Releases in your sole discretion. Remora
makes no guarantees or promises with respect to the continued availability of any Free Access
Subscriptions or Beta Releases or that future versions of a Beta Release will be released or will be
available under the same terms. Remora may discontinue Beta Releases at any time, in our sole
discretion, and decide not to make Beta Releases generally available. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, Remora may terminate Client’s right to use any Free Access Subscription
or Beta Release at any time for any reason or no reason in Remora’s sole discretion, without
liability.
2.8 Account Registration
Client will register for a Remora account in order to access or receive the Services. Account
information must be accurate, current, and complete. Client agrees to keep its account information
up to date so that Remora may send notices, statements, and other information by email and/or
through Client’s account.
2.9 Eligibility and Use by Others
By agreeing to these Terms, Client warrants that it and its Authorized Users (as defined in Section 1
(Definitions)): (a) are over 18 years old; (b) have not previously been suspended or removed from
the Technology or the Services; and (c) will comply with all applicable laws when using the
Technology and the Services. Client may permit its Authorized Users to use the Technology provided
their use is for Client’s benefit only and remains in compliance with this Agreement.
Authorized Users are and will be subject to the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement
which may be communicated by posting to Remora’s website, or on a click–through basis to
Authorized Users upon access to the Services.
2.10 Responsibility for Authorized Users
Client will be responsible and liable for all Authorized Users’ use and access and their
compliance with the terms and conditions herein. Client will be solely responsible for authorizing
and creating user IDs, passwords, and other access credentials for Authorized Users. Client is
solely responsible for determining its Authorized Users and restricting and/or terminating the
rights of such users during the Subscription Term, as Client deems appropriate. Provided, however,
Remora may, in its sole discretion, suspend any Authorized User’s access to the Services.
Client is solely responsible for ensuring that any user IDs, passwords, and other access credentials
(such as API tokens) for the Technology are kept strictly confidential and not shared with any
unauthorized person. Client shall protect and safeguard the confidentiality of the passwords and
access to the Technology with at least the same degree of care as the Client would protect its own
important passwords, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable degree of care.
Additionally, Client is solely responsible for complying, and ensuring its Authorized Users comply,
with all laws applicable to Client. Client will be solely responsible for any and all actions taken
using its and its Authorized Users’ accounts, passwords, or access credentials. Client must
notify Remora promptly, and in any event within seventy–two (72) hours, after becoming aware
of any unauthorized use of its account. You are solely responsible for all use of the Technology and
the Services. Remora will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized use of
Client’s account, except to the extent caused by Remora’s breach of Section 2.14
(Security).
2.11 Use by Customers
Any person that is a customer of Client, or that is a potential customer of Client
(“Customer(s)”) who accesses and/or uses the Services, including via Client’s
website, are subject to the Acceptable Use Policy and such other terms as may be provided by Remora
from time to time, which includes Remora’s right to remove or disable access to any Customer
that violates our Acceptable Use Policy.
2.12 Documentation License
Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, Remora hereby grants to Client a
non–exclusive, non–sublicensable, non–transferable license to use the
Documentation during the Term and solely for Client’s internal business purposes in connection
with its use of the Services.
2.13 Monitoring
Remora is under no obligation to monitor the content of the Technology (or any server used in
connection with the Services). However, Client understands and agrees that Remora may monitor and
analyze Client Data or Customer Data (including but not limited to texts, messages, chats, etc.) to
improve the Technology, or the Services; to improve Client’s experience using the Remora
Technology, or the Services; to customize the Services and communicate with Client; to ensure
compliance with the Acceptable Use Policy; and/or to make the Services, or the Technology more
helpful or useful to Client and other users.
2.14 Security
Remora agrees to maintain technical and organizational measures designed to secure its systems from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Remora represents and warrants that its collection, access,
use, storage, processing, disposal, and disclosure of Customer Data does and will comply, in all
material respects, with all federal, state, and local privacy and data protection laws applicable to
Remora’s provision of the Services, including the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act, 15
U.S.C. § 6801, et seq. (“GLBA”) and associated regulations. Remora shall implement
administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect Customer Data that are no less
rigorous than accepted industry practices, and shall ensure that all such safeguards, including the
manner in which Customer Data is collected, accessed, used, stored, processed, disposed of, and
disclosed, comply with applicable data protection and privacy laws. At a minimum, Remora’s
safeguards for the protection of Customer Data shall include: (a) limiting access of Customer Data
to Authorized Remora Users (as defined herein); (b) securing business facilities, data centers,
paper files, servers, back–up systems and computing equipment; (c) implementing network,
device application, database and platform security; (d) securing information transmission, storage
and disposal; (e) implementing authentication and access controls within media, applications,
operating systems and equipment; (f) implementing appropriate personnel security and integrity
procedures and practices, including, but not limited to, conducting background checks consistent
with applicable law; and (g) providing appropriate privacy and information security training to
Remora’s Authorized Users. In addition, Remora shall promptly affirm compliance with any
amendments or modifications to the GLBA, upon request of Client. “Authorized Remora
Users” means (a) Remora’s employees who have a need to know or otherwise access Customer
Data to enable Remora to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and (b) Remora’s
agents, affiliates, or subcontractors who have a need to know or otherwise access Customer Data to
enable Remora to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and who are bound in writing by
confidentiality obligations sufficient to protect Customer Data in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. The parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Processing of personal
information collected through the Services on Client’s behalf are further set forth in
Remora’s Data Processing Addendum (https://remora.com/data-processing-addendum),
which is incorporated into and forms part of this Agreement.
2.15 Storage
Remora does not provide an archiving service. During the Subscription Term, Client acknowledges that
Remora may delete Client Data no longer in active use. Remora expressly disclaims all other
obligations with respect to storage.
2.16 Security and Platform Protection Actions
Client acknowledges and agrees that the Technology and the Services are provided on a shared,
multi–tenant infrastructure, including shared databases and hosting environments, and that
code, content, configurations, integrations, or activity associated with any one client account or
website may affect the security, stability, availability, integrity, or performance of the
Technology and the Services for all of Remora’s clients that is, Platform Integrity, as
defined in Section 1 (Definitions). Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, Remora reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time and without
prior notice to Client, to take any action Remora deems necessary or advisable to protect or
preserve Platform Integrity or to prevent harm or liability to Remora, its other clients, or any
Third–Party, including without limitation to: (a) remove, disable, quarantine, block, or
modify any code, script, software, plugin, tag, integration, or Third–Party Product installed
on or operating in connection with any website, application, or Service, regardless of whether it
was installed by Remora, Client, an Authorized User, or a Third–Party; (b) redirect, suspend,
disable, or take offline any website, domain, sub–domain, access point, or other component of
the Services hosted or provisioned through the Technology; (c) apply patches, updates, or
configuration changes, or roll back any change, to any portion of the Technology or the Services;
and (d) suspend or restrict access to the Services by any account, Authorized User, or Customer.
Where Remora determines it is reasonably practical under the circumstances, Remora will endeavor to
notify Client of any protective action materially affecting Client’s use of the Services,
which notice may be provided after the action is taken and in accordance with Section 8.1 (Notices);
provided, however, that Remora’s failure to provide any notice shall not limit Remora’s
rights under this Section or constitute a breach of this Agreement. Any action taken by Remora
pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall not constitute a breach or default of this Agreement, shall not
entitle Client to any refund, credit, or set–off (except as expressly provided in Section 9.2
(Suspension of Services)), and shall not relieve Client of its obligation to pay all Fees. TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, REMORA WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES,
LIABILITIES, OR LOSSES (INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE, OR PROFITS), OR ANY OTHER CONSEQUENCES
THAT CLIENT, ANY AUTHORIZED USER, OR ANY CUSTOMER MAY INCUR AS A RESULT OF ANY ACTION TAKEN BY
REMORA PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 2.16.
3 – Support Guarantee and Expectations
3.1 Support Expectations
Remora makes available web–based support through the Services, by phone, and by email. Any
support services are subject to this Agreement. Remora may also provide onboarding, deployment, and
other services under this Agreement. Such services are included in Client’s monthly
subscription and are not separately charged; their scope and terms may be described in the
applicable Subscription Documentation. Remora’s ability to provision Remora’s Technology
and deliver the Services will depend on Client’s reasonable and timely cooperation and the
accuracy and completeness of any information from Client needed to deliver the Services.
3.2 Remora’s Guarantee
Subject to the terms and conditions provided for herein, Remora guarantees that Client’s
Support Requests will be completed within three (3) business days of receipt (the “Three Day
Service Guarantee”) unless otherwise stated in the Subscription Documentation. Remora’s
business hours are typically 9 AM to 6 PM (EST), Monday through Friday. However, Remora reserves the
right to alter and amend these hours and/or close the office for holidays or for any other reason.
Regardless of the reason Remora’s offices may be closed, including any office closures after
normal business hours, the Three Day Service Guarantee provided for herein shall be tolled until
Remora re–opens for business. Additionally, Remora guarantees that all Support Requests will
be received, completed, and delivered by Remora’s own English–fluent support team
located in the United States; Remora does not use offshore call centers or offshore outsourced
support.
In the event that Client revises or alters any previously submitted Support Request, Client agrees
that, upon submission of any such request for revision or alteration to a previously submitted
Support Request, the original or previous Support Request will be deemed abandoned, and Remora shall
have three (3) business days (unless otherwise stated on the Subscription Documentation) from when
the revision or alteration is requested by the Client.
In the event that a Support Request relates to the Technology’s involvement or integration with
Third–Parties, Remora will communicate with the Client and the Third–Party in good faith
and endeavor to complete the request consistent with Remora’s Three Day Service Guarantee.
However, the Three Day Service Guarantee shall be tolled due to any delays caused by a
Third–Party, and Remora will not be held responsible for the time that the related
Third–Party takes to complete the provisioning, customizations, or modifications to the
Third–Party Products that may be required to complete Client’s request.
In the event that Client submits a Support Request that requires Remora to write custom code or make
substantial modifications to the Technology (i.e., “Custom Work,” as defined in Section
1 (Definitions)), Remora will, within the Three Day Service Guarantee period, notify Client that the
request constitutes Custom Work and provide a good–faith written estimate of the time required
to complete it; such notification and estimate together constitute a completed Support Request.
Thereafter, the Custom Work itself is not subject to Remora’s Three Day Service Guarantee, but
Remora will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Custom Work within the estimated
time frame and will notify Client if the estimate materially changes.
Remora will develop and maintain Client’s website to substantially conform to the Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, provided that Client adheres to Remora’s best
practices, and provided further that this commitment does not extend to: (a) content, images, or
materials supplied by Client, its Authorized Users, or its Customers; (b) any Third–Party code
or Third–Party Products, whether or not installed by Remora on Client’s behalf; or (c)
modifications made at Client’s request contrary to Remora’s recommendation. Remora makes
a good faith effort to conform Client’s website to the Americans with Disabilities Act;
however, Remora does not guarantee compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act or any other
accessibility law or regulation, and Client remains solely responsible for its own legal compliance
obligations with respect to accessibility.
Remora provides a system to help Clients comply with State and Federal laws and makes a good faith
effort to comply with all laws and regulations regarding the display of pricing. However, Remora
does not guarantee compliance with State and Federal laws regarding the display of pricing and
communication with Client’s prospects and customers that Remora is responsible for
communicating with through text messages and emails. Remora’s Technology and Services collects
text-based opt-in permission from consumers before sending SMS communications. Remora does not send
unsolicited messages to consumers. Client is expected to abide by the Telephone Consumer Protection
Act, the CAN-SPAM Act, the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act, the Florida Telephone Solicitation
Act, and all other relevant State and Federal laws that apply to email and text messaging
communications with consumers.
Remora makes a good faith effort to comply with Client’s OEM brand guidelines. While Remora
does take responsibility for abiding by the Client request configuration of how pricing is displayed
on the website, Client is responsible for the actual pricing of Client’s inventory and Remora
will not be held responsible for errors or omissions stemming from errant or noncompliant prices
provided to Remora by Client. Remora will clearly display the prices that are provided by Client on
the website.
In the event of a breach of any guarantee or commitment in this Section 3.2, Remora agrees to provide
one free month of Services and access to the Technology in the form of a credit equal to one (1)
month’s Base Rate as stated on Client’s Rate Schedule, applied as a credit line item on
the next monthly invoice; no more than one credit under this Section 3.2 will accrue for any single
calendar month. CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS CREDIT IS CLIENT’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
REMEDY, AND REMORA’S SOLE LIABILITY, FOR BREACH OF ANY GUARANTEE OR COMMITMENT IN THIS SECTION
3.2.
4 – Intellectual Property Ownership
4.1 Intellectual Property Ownership
All intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, patent disclosures and inventions
(whether patentable or not), trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, know–how, and other
confidential information, trade dress, trade names, logos, together with all of the goodwill
associated therewith, derivative works and all other rights (collectively, “Intellectual
Property Rights”) in and to all documents, work product and other materials that are delivered
to Client under this Agreement or prepared by or on behalf of Remora in the course of performing the
Services, except for any Confidential Information of Client, is owned exclusively by Remora and the

coding, or programming arising out of the Services.

Intellectual Property solely to the extent necessary to provide the Services to Client and as
otherwise provided herein. Client further instructs Remora to use and disclose Client’s
Intellectual Property, Client Data, and Customer Data as necessary to (a) provide the Services
consistent with this Agreement and Remora’s Privacy Policy, including detecting,
investigating, and preventing security incidents, spam, fraud, or unlawful use of the Technology or
the Services, and (b) respond to Client’s inquiries or any technical problems or to ensure
that the Technology is working properly.
Both parties acknowledge and agree that, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, neither
party shall acquire under this Agreement any rights of use or ownership with respect to any trade
names, trade dress, trademarks, service marks, commercial symbols, copyrightable material, designs,
logos and/or any other intellectual property of the other party or its licensors, and all such
intellectual property shall remain the property of its respective owner.
4.2 Ownership Acknowledgements and Updates
By accepting this Agreement, Client acknowledges that it is obtaining subscription–based access
to the Technology only which includes a limited right to use the Services and irrespective of any
use of the words “purchase”, “sale” or similar terms, no ownership rights
are transferred to Client under this Agreement and, except as expressly permitted by such limited
right, Client may not make any use of the Technology or the Services. Client agrees that Remora
exclusively retains all rights, title and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in
and to all products, any and all related documentation, software, technology, code, know–how,
logos, trademarks, service marks, and templates (including in any reports or output obtained from
the Technology), anything delivered as part of support, materials or other services, and any
updates, modifications or derivative works of any of the foregoing and reserves any licenses not
specifically granted herein. Furthermore, Remora exclusively owns and reserves all right, title, and
interest in and to Remora’s Confidential Information, which does not include Client Data in
identifiable form. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Remora exclusively
owns all right, title, and interest in and to: (a) all usage data, telemetry, logs, metadata, and
analytics generated by or derived from the use or operation of the Technology or the Services,
including the VIN Report and all other reports and output generated by the Technology (exclusive of
the Client Data contained therein); and (b) all anonymized, deidentified, or aggregated data derived
from Client Data or Customer Data; provided that Remora’s use of deidentified data remains
subject to the deidentification commitments in Remora’s Data Processing Addendum, and no data
described in clauses (a) or (b) will be used or disclosed in a manner that identifies Client, any
Authorized User, or any natural person, or that discloses Client’s Confidential Information.
The Services are offered as an on–line, hosted product. Accordingly, Client acknowledges and
agrees that it has no right to obtain a copy of the software behind any Services or Technology and
that Remora at its option may make updates, bug fixes, modifications, or improvements to the
Technology or the Services from time–to–time.
Remora owns the intellectual property rights in all software, designs, text, images, or other content
available on the Remora websites and the Technology or Remora has obtained applicable rights to such
text, images, software, or other content from applicable Third–Parties who own the content.

written consent. However, we give you permission to view, copy, and print material on Remora’s
public marketing websites subject to the following conditions: You may use such material only for
internal, informational, and noncommercial purposes; you may not alter the material; and you must
include our copyright notice on any copy. For clarity, Client’s use of the Technology, the
Services, and the reports and output generated by the Technology is governed by the license in
Section 2.4 (License for Use of Services and Rights), not by this paragraph.
Without obtaining Remora’s prior written consent, you may not republish, redistribute, or
otherwise make any copies, of the materials on the Remora websites or the Technology. No other use
of the material within the Remora websites or the Technology is permitted without our prior written

4.3 Client Data Rights
As between the parties, Client retains all right, title, and interest (including any intellectual
property rights) in and to the Client Data (as defined in Section 1 (Definitions), and including
Customer Data and Third–Party Content). Client hereby grants Remora a non–exclusive,
worldwide, royalty–free right and license to collect, use, copy, store, transmit, modify, and
create derivative works of the Client Data solely to the extent necessary to provide the Services to
Client and as otherwise provided herein. Client further instructs Remora to use and disclose Client
Data and Customer Data as necessary to (a) provide the Services consistent with this Agreement and
Remora’s Privacy Policy, including detecting, investigating, and preventing security
incidents, spam, fraud, or unlawful use of the Services, and (b) respond to Client’s inquiries
or any technical problems or to ensure that the Technology is working properly.
4.4 Feedback and Client Contributions
Remora does not accept or consider unsolicited ideas, including ideas for new promotions, new
products or technologies, processes, materials, marketing plans or new product names
(“contributions”). We do not want to create any misunderstandings or disputes if our
products or strategies seem similar to ideas submitted to us. In connection with any unsolicited
contributions you may submit to us, you agree that the contributions will not be confidential, that
no fiduciary relationship is intended or created between you and us, and that you have no
expectation of review, compensation, or consideration of any type. We are not responsible or liable
to any Third–Party for the content or contributions provided by you.
If Client or any of its employees, contractors, or agents provides Remora by any means with any
suggestions, comments, improvements, ideas, know–how, concepts, techniques, or other feedback
relating to the Technology or the Services, including new features or functionality (collectively,
“Feedback”), Client hereby assigns to Remora all right, title, and interest in and to
such Feedback, and, to the extent such assignment is ineffective for any reason, Client hereby
grants Remora a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty–free
right and license to use, copy, disclose, license, distribute, and exploit such Feedback in any
manner without any obligation, attribution, payment, or restriction based on Intellectual Property
Rights or otherwise. Client will ensure that it has obtained from its employees, contractors, and
agents all rights necessary to effect the foregoing assignment and license. Nothing in this
Agreement limits Remora’s right to independently use, develop, evaluate, or market products,
whether incorporating Feedback or otherwise, and Remora is not required to use any Feedback.
4.5 Copyright Infringement Claims; DMCA
Remora respects intellectual property rights and expects Clients, Authorized Users, and Customers to
do the same. If you believe that any content hosted on or made available through the Technology
infringes your copyright, you may send a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17
U.S.C. § 512 (the “DMCA”), to Remora’s Designated Copyright Agent: Remora,
Inc., Attn: DMCA Agent Legal Department, 3236 Beach Blvd., Jacksonville, FL 32207; email: dmca@remora.com. Your notification must include: (a)
identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (b) identification of the
allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit Remora to locate it;
(c) your name, address, telephone number, and email address; (d) a statement that you have a
good–faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its
agent, or the law; (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the
notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the
owner’s behalf; and (f) your physical or electronic signature. Upon receipt of a compliant
notification, Remora will expeditiously remove or disable access to the identified material and will
take reasonable steps to notify the party that posted it. That party may submit a
counter–notification complying with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) to the Designated Copyright
Agent, in which case Remora may restore the removed material in accordance with the DMCA. Remora
maintains and enforces a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts or access
of Clients, Authorized Users, or Customers who are repeat infringers. Nothing in this Section 4.5
limits Remora’s rights under Section 2.16 (Security and Platform Protection Actions) or
Section 9.2 (Suspension of Services).
5 – Confidential Information
5.1 Mutual Confidentiality
All non–public, confidential or proprietary information of either party (“Confidential
Information”), including, but not limited to, the terms of Client’s Subscription
Documentation and Rate Schedule, information about such party’s business affairs, products,
services, methodologies, confidential intellectual property, trade secrets, Third–Party
confidential information, and other sensitive or proprietary information, disclosed by one party
(the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”), whether
disclosed orally or disclosed or accessed in written, electronic, or other form or media, or
otherwise learned by the Receiving Party in connection with this Agreement, and whether or not
marked, designated, or otherwise identified as “confidential,” is confidential, solely
for use in performing this Agreement and may not be disclosed or copied unless authorized by the
Disclosing Party in writing. The Receiving Party shall protect and safeguard the confidentiality of
the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care as the
Receiving Party would protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a
commercially reasonable degree of care. Confidential Information does not include any information
that: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of the Receiving
Party’s breach of this Agreement; (b) is obtained by the Receiving Party on a
non–confidential basis from a Third–Party that was not legally or contractually
restricted from disclosing such information; (c) the Receiving Party establishes by documentary
evidence, was in its possession prior to the Disclosing Party’s disclosure hereunder; or (d)
is required to be disclosed under applicable federal, state or local law, regulation or a valid
order issued by a court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction.
5.2 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.
5.3 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 5. Each party may also
disclose the other party’s Confidential Information (including, in the case of Client, the
terms of Client’s Subscription Documentation and Rate Schedule) to its legal counsel,
accountants, and other professional advisors who have a need to know such information in connection
with advising that party, provided that such advisors are bound by professional obligations of
confidentiality or by confidentiality obligations no less protective than this Section 5, and the
disclosing party remains responsible for its advisors’ compliance.
5.4 Exclusions
These confidentiality obligations do not apply to (and Confidential Information does not include)
information excluded from Confidential Information under Section 5.1 (Mutual Confidentiality), or
information that is independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to
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.
5.5 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.
6 – Client Obligations
6.1 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. Client shall be responsible for registering and
renewing their domain name and phone numbers and paying all fees associated therewith, and Client
shall be the owner of such domain names and phone numbers. Client shall respond promptly to any
request by Remora for information or for approval of the Services. Client shall notify Remora of any
changes to Client’s procedures affecting Remora’s obligations under this Agreement at
least five (5) days before implementing such changes.
Client is responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of the inventory data feed(s)
supplying vehicle listings to Client’s website(s) and any applicable Group Website. Client
acknowledges that Billable Sale counts under Section 7 (Fees and Payment) are derived from the
addition and removal of vehicles in the website inventory feed, and that manipulation of feed data
for the purpose of avoiding or distorting Billable Sale counts is a material breach of this
Agreement.
Each party is responsible for any fines arising from its non–compliance or spamming. Each party
must comply with all applicable local, state, national and international laws, and regulations when
using the Technology or providing Services. Any attempt by anyone to damage, attack, disable,
overburden, or impair the Technology is a violation of criminal and civil laws. We reserve the right
to seek damages from anyone doing so to the fullest extent permitted by law.
You will not post or transmit through the Technology, or any of the Services, any material or content
that violates or infringes in any way the rights of others, solicits, encourages or promotes the use
of illegal substances, is threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, derogatory,
invasive of privacy or publicity rights, vulgar, obscene, bigoted or hateful, profane, scandalous,
pornographic, indecent or otherwise objectionable, gives rise to civil or criminal liability or
otherwise violates any applicable law.
Client is responsible and liable for all uses of the Services and Documentation resulting from access
provided by Remora, directly or indirectly, whether such access or use is permitted by or in
violation of this Agreement. 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. Amendments to this Agreement are governed by
Section 14.20 (Amendment).
6.2 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.
6.3 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
Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act of 1999, the CAN-SPAM Act, and Do Not Call rules and
prohibitions. Client also warrants and represents that: (a) Client has sole ownership of any Client
Data it provides to Remora, or otherwise has legal rights to provide such Client Data, and Client
Data and Remora’s use thereof will not violate Third–Party rights, including
intellectual property, privacy and publicity rights; (b) Remora’s possession and/or use of the
Client Data on Client’s behalf in connection with the Services, as contemplated hereunder,
will not violate any contract, statute, or regulation; (c) any Client Data that Client and/or
Client’s authorized representative(s) submit for publication on an online review or ratings
website as a provider of goods or services will be true and accurate, and will only concern Client
or the goods and/or services that Client provides; and (d) Client and/or Client’s authorized
representative(s) will only use the Services for interaction with actual Customers. 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.
6.4 Privacy Compliance Postures; California Compliance
(a) Client Responsibility for Privacy Posture. Client is solely responsible for
determining and adopting its own privacy compliance posture, including its compliance with the
California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020,
and their implementing regulations (collectively, “California Privacy Laws”), and any
other privacy or data protection law applicable to Client or its website(s). Remora provides
web–based tools designed to assist Client in implementing the privacy posture Client selects,
and Remora’s responsibility is limited to implementing Client’s selected posture on
Client’s behalf. Remora may place a default privacy policy on Client’s website; any such
default privacy policy is provided solely for Client’s convenience, and Client is and remains
solely responsible for the content, accuracy, completeness, and legal sufficiency of the privacy
policy posted on Client’s website and for Client’s cookie–compliance posture,
including with respect to California Privacy Laws. Consistent with Section 10.6 (No Advice), Remora
does not provide legal advice, no privacy posture, tool, or default policy provided by Remora
constitutes legal advice, and Client’s use of any of them does not guarantee compliance with
any law in any jurisdiction. Client is encouraged to consult its own legal counsel in selecting its
privacy posture.
(b) Cookie–Compliance Postures. Remora offers the following
cookie–compliance postures for Client websites, from which Client must select one.
Client’s selection (or failure to make a selection) is Client’s sole responsibility:
(i) No Banner. No cookie banner or notice is displayed on Client’s website.
This is the default posture provided by Remora if none are selected by Client.
(ii) Disclosure–Only Banner. Client’s website displays a notice
disclosing that the Technology uses cookies to track website users, without offering users a consent
choice.
(iii) Opt–Out Posture. Client’s website displays a cookie consent banner
permitting website users to allow or deny tracking. If Client selects this posture and a website
user denies tracking, Remora will honor the user’s request by suppressing third–party
scripts as described in Section 6.4(c).
(iv) Opt–In Posture (GDPR–Style). Client’s website displays a
cookie consent banner requiring affirmative consent before tracking occurs. If Client selects this
posture, Remora suppresses all cookie–producing scripts until the website user expressly opts
in to tracking.
(c) Script Suppression; Global Privacy Control. Remora reserves the right to honor a
website user’s request not to be tracked by suppressing any third–party scripts that
transmit data to cookies residing on third–party servers outside of Remora’s network.
Client acknowledges and agrees that Remora honors the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”)
opt–out preference signal on all Client websites, regardless of the cookie–compliance
posture selected by Client under Section 6.4(b) (including the No Banner posture), and that Remora
will suppress third–party tracking scripts in response to a GPC signal accordingly. Client
acknowledges that script suppression pursuant to a user’s consent choice under Client’s
selected posture, or pursuant to Section 2.16 (Security and Platform Protection Actions), may limit
the functionality of Third–Party Products or analytics on Client’s website and shall not
constitute a breach or default of this Agreement or entitle Client to any refund, credit, or
set–off.
6.5 No Resale of Consumer Data
Client Data and Customer Data collected through the Technology and the Services are collected on
Client’s behalf. Subject to this Agreement and applicable law (including any consent or notice
obligations owed to the individuals concerned), Client may use such data for Client’s own
internal business purposes, including Client’s own marketing and advertising purposes.
However, Client shall not, and shall not permit any Authorized User or Third–Party to, sell,
resell, rent, lease, license, sublicense, trade, disclose, or otherwise transfer or make available,
for monetary or other valuable consideration, any Customer Data or other personal information
collected through the Technology or the Services including without limitation any personally
identified or personally identifiable tracking, browsing, behavioral, or activity data to any other
business, data broker, or Third–Party. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.5 does not
prohibit Client from disclosing such data to its own service providers acting on Client’s
behalf and bound by written obligations no less restrictive than this Section, or as required by
applicable law.
7 – Fees and Payment
7.1 Subscription Model
The Services are provided on a single, all–inclusive monthly subscription basis. Client’s
monthly subscription covers all Services set forth in the applicable Subscription Documentation, and
there are no à la carte charges or separately billed add–on services. Except as expressly
provided in Section 7.7 (Group Websites) or as expressly stated on the applicable Rate Schedule,
Fees apply on a per–Rooftop basis: the Base Rate, Included Sales Allowance, Per–Sale
Rate, and Monthly Fee Cap (each as defined below) apply separately to each dealership location and
its associated website receiving the Services (each, a “Rooftop”). Client agrees to pay
Remora the fees determined in accordance with this Section 7 at the rates set forth in the
applicable Rate Schedule (collectively, the “Fees”).
7.2 Rate Schedule; Uniform Mechanics
All rates and dollar amounts applicable to Client including Client’s base monthly rate (the
“Base Rate”), included sales allowance (the “Included Sales Allowance”),
per–sale overage rate (the “Per–Sale Rate”), and monthly fee cap (the
“Monthly Fee Cap”) are set forth exclusively in the rate schedule attached to or
incorporated into Client’s Subscription Documentation (the “Rate Schedule”). The
Rate Schedule is the sole and controlling source of the rates applicable to Client. Any pricing
published on Remora’s website or in Remora’s marketing materials is list pricing
provided for general informational purposes only, does not apply to Client, and does not modify,
control, or supersede the Rate Schedule. This Agreement sets forth pricing methods and mechanics
only and contains no rates. The measurement methodology, billing calendar, dispute process,
proration rules, and termination and reconciliation processes set forth in this Agreement are
uniform across all Remora clients and are not subject to negotiation or variation by the Rate
Schedule or otherwise; a negotiated arrangement between Remora and Client may vary only the rates
and amounts stated on the Rate Schedule. In the event of any conflict, the Rate Schedule controls as
to rates and amounts, and this Agreement controls as to all methods and mechanics.
7.3 Billable Sales
A “Billable Sale” occurs when a vehicle listed on Client’s website is removed from
the website inventory feed. All sale and disposition types including retail, wholesale, and
commercial sales count equally as Billable Sales, provided the vehicle was listed on Client’s
website; vehicles never listed on Client’s website are never counted as Billable Sales.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a vehicle identification number (“VIN”) removed from the
website inventory feed that reappears within seven (7) days of removal whether on Client’s
website or on the website of any commonly–owned affiliated Rooftop or Group Website on
Remora’s platform is not counted as a Billable Sale (the “Reappearance
Exclusion”).
7.4 Measurement Period
Billable Sales are counted during each “Measurement Period,” which runs from the 20th day
of the previous calendar month through the 19th day of the current calendar month. A Billable Sale
is attributed to the Measurement Period in which the vehicle’s removal from the website
inventory feed occurs.
7.5 System of Record; Client–Facing Reporting
The VIN–level removal report generated by the Technology identifying, for each removed vehicle,
the VIN, year, make, model, date listed, and date removed (the “VIN Report”) is the
contractual system of record for billing under this Agreement. Client expressly acknowledges and
agrees that Remora’s Billable Sale counts are based on website–removal dates falling
within the applicable Measurement Period, that such counts will differ from reports generated by
Client’s dealer management system (“DMS”) or other systems that report sales by
contract date or other criteria, and that such differences are inherent to the measurement method
and are not billing errors. The Client portal provides a running count of current–period
Billable Sales and access to the VIN Report. The running count is preliminary and remains subject to
adjustment under the Reappearance Exclusion; the final Billable Sale count for a Measurement Period
is the count stated on the applicable invoice, subject to Section 7.9 (Invoice Disputes; Credits).
7.6 Included Sales Allowance; Overage Fees; Proration; Fee Cap
Each invoice includes the full Included Sales Allowance for the applicable Measurement Period.
Billable Sales during a Measurement Period up to and including the Included Sales Allowance are
included in the Base Rate at no additional charge. Each Billable Sale during a Measurement Period in
excess of the Included Sales Allowance is charged at the Per–Sale Rate (such charges,
“Overage Fees”). Base fees prorate for partial billing periods; the Included Sales
Allowance does not prorate. Total monthly Fees for each Rooftop (or for each Group Website) will not
exceed the Monthly Fee Cap stated on the applicable Rate Schedule.
7.7 Group Websites
A “Group Website” means a website operated through the Services for a dealer group that
aggregates or displays inventory attributable to more than one dealership location. Group Websites
are billed as follows:
(a) Groups with Rooftops on the Services. If one or more Rooftops of the dealer
group receive the Services, no Base Rate applies to the Group Website. Billable Sales occurring on
the Group Website are billed at the Per–Sale Rate stated on the applicable Rate Schedule only
to the extent the Billable Sale is not attributable to a Rooftop that Remora already serves and
bills under this Agreement or another agreement no sale is ever billed twice and such charges are
subject to the Monthly Fee Cap applicable to the Group Website. For the avoidance of doubt, a dealer
group all of whose dealership locations are Rooftops receiving the Services pays no Fees for its
Group Website.
(b) Per–Rooftop Default. The Base Rate, Included Sales Allowance, and Monthly
Fee Cap apply per Rooftop and per website by default. Any group–level cap, group–level
allowance, or other consolidated billing arrangement is a negotiated exception that applies only if
and as expressly stated on the applicable Rate Schedule, and is never a default.
(c) Uniform Measurement. Billable Sales on Group Websites are defined, measured, and
reported identically to Billable Sales on Rooftop websites including the definition in Section 7.3,
the Measurement Period in Section 7.4, the Reappearance Exclusion, and the VIN Report as system of
record under Section 7.5 including with respect to inventory originating from dealership locations
that do not otherwise receive the Services.
7.8 Billing Calendar; Payment of Fees
Remora issues one invoice per calendar month for each Rooftop (or Group Website), generated on the
20th day of each month. Each monthly invoice contains: (a) the Base Rate for the following calendar
month, billed in advance; and (b) any Overage Fees for the Measurement Period ending on the 19th of
the month of invoice generation, billed in arrears. Because a new Client has no completed
Measurement Period at the time of its first invoice, Client’s first invoice will contain no
Overage Fees. Each invoice is due in full on the first (1st) day of the calendar month following
invoice generation, and payment is considered overdue if not received within ten (10) days after the
due date. 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 this Agreement, including Section 3.2
(Remora’s Guarantee), Section 7.9 (Invoice Disputes; Credits), Section 9.2 (Suspension of
Services), Section 9.3 (Termination for Cause), and Section 11.2 (Indemnification by Remora). If the
payment method selected is credit card, ACH, or direct debit, Client authorizes Remora to charge the
Fees stated on each monthly invoice automatically on the invoice due date. The Subscription will
continue unless and until you or Remora terminate your Subscription in accordance with Section 9
(Term and Termination). Remora shall have the right to charge interest on all overdue amounts at the
rate of one and one–half percent (1.5%) per month (eighteen percent (18%) per annum, simple
interest), or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less. Additionally, if
payment becomes overdue, Remora may suspend Client’s access to the Technology after providing
Client written notice of nonpayment and five (5) business days’ opportunity to cure following
such notice, and/or may seek to enforce Client’s payment obligations. No prior notice or cure
period is required where Remora reasonably believes Client’s payment method has been used
fraudulently or Client has initiated an unjustified chargeback.
7.9 Invoice Disputes; Credits
Each invoice is due and payable in full on its due date notwithstanding any pending dispute, and
disputed amounts may never be withheld from the amount due. Client may dispute the Billable Sale
count on an invoice within sixty (60) days after the date of invoice generation; any dispute raised
after that window is waived. A dispute may be raised informally, and verbal notice is sufficient to
open a review; however, issuance of any credit requires supporting documentation from Client a DMS
sales report or a list of contested VINs. Adjustments validated by Remora are issued as credit line
items on the next monthly invoice. Upon expiration of the dispute window for an invoice, the
Billable Sale count and Fees stated on that invoice become final and binding on both parties, and
Remora will not issue corrections or additional charges for that Measurement Period after that date.
This Section 7.9 states the exclusive process for disputing Billable Sale counts and related Fees.
7.10 Taxes
Remora’s Fees are exclusive of all taxes, and Client must pay any applicable taxes or levies,
whether domestic or foreign. Client will make tax payments to Remora to the extent amounts are
included on Remora’s invoices.
7.11 Rate Reviews
The rates set forth on the Rate Schedule are reviewable, and may be adjusted by Remora, upon at least
ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to Client delivered in accordance with Section 14.20
(Amendment), with the adjusted rates effective upon the first renewal of Client’s Subscription
Term occurring on or after expiration of the notice period. Rate adjustments modify only the rates
and amounts stated on the Rate Schedule and do not modify the pricing methods and mechanics set
forth in this Section 7.
8 – Notice
8.1 Notices
Any notice or communication to Remora under this Agreement must be in writing. Client must send any
notices under this Agreement via postal mail to Remora Headquarters (3236 Beach Blvd., Jacksonville,
FL 32207) or via email to legal@remora.com with
“Attention Remora Legal Department” in the subject line. Notices of non–renewal
under Section 9.1 (Term) may also be sent by email to support@remora.com. 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.
9 – Term and Termination
9.1 Term
This Agreement is effective until the applicable Subscription Term for the Services has expired, or
the Subscription is terminated as expressly permitted herein. Subscriptions to the Services are
month–to–month: the initial term is one (1) month beginning on the Subscription Start
Date, and the Subscription will automatically renew for successive one (1) month periods (each such
period, 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 support@remora.com. 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
9.3 (Termination for Cause).
9.2 Suspension of Services
Remora may, in its sole and absolute discretion and with or without prior notice to Client, suspend
Client’s access to the Services in whole or in part, remove or disable Client Data, remove or
disable any Third–Party Product, code, script, or integration, or redirect, suspend, or take
offline any website or access point hosted or provisioned through the Services, if Remora determines
that: (a) Client’s account is overdue (provided that a suspension based solely on an overdue
account is subject to the notice–and–cure requirement in Section 7.8 (Billing Calendar;
Payment of Fees)); (b) Client has breached Section 2 (Use Rights and Restrictions) or Section 6
(Client Obligations); or (c) such action is necessary or advisable to prevent harm or liability to
Remora, its other clients, or any Third–Party, or to protect or preserve Platform Integrity
(as defined in Section 1 (Definitions)). Remora’s rights under this Section 9.2 are cumulative
and in addition to, and not in limitation of, Remora’s rights under Section 2.3 (Modification
of the Services) and Section 2.16 (Security and Platform Protection Actions). Client will remain
responsible for payment of Fees during any suspension period; provided, however, that
notwithstanding Section 2.3 (Modification of the Services) or Section 2.16 (Security and Platform
Protection Actions), if any suspension of the Services, or any protective action having
substantially the same effect on Client’s use of the Services, whether taken under this
Section 9.2, Section 2.3, or Section 2.16, continues for more than five (5) consecutive days and was
not caused by Client’s breach of this Agreement or Client’s failure to pay Fees when
due, the Base Rate will be abated pro–rata for the portion of the suspension period beyond
such five (5) days, applied as a credit line item on the next monthly invoice. 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 OR ANY
OTHER ACTION TAKEN BY REMORA PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 9.2.
9.3 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.
Remora may terminate this Agreement or any related Subscription Documentation immediately if Client
breaches Section 2 (Use Rights and Restrictions) (subject, in the case of a breach consisting solely
of a violation of the Acceptable Use Policy, to the enforcement provisions of that Policy), Section
6.5 (No Resale of Consumer Data), or Section 13.2 (Client Representations), or if Client’s
breach of any provision of this Agreement creates a risk of harm to Platform Integrity, other
clients, or any Third–Party. For any other breach of Section 6 (Client Obligations), Remora
may terminate this Agreement if Client fails to cure the breach within ten (10) days after written
notice. Remora may also terminate this Agreement for repeated violations of other Sections of this
Agreement, following written notice of each violation. Client may terminate this Agreement for
convenience upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Remora. Upon termination for convenience,
Client remains responsible for all Fees accrued through the effective date of termination the Base
Rate through the effective date (prorated for any partial month in accordance with Section 7.6
(Included Sales Allowance; Overage Fees; Proration; Fee Cap)) plus all accrued but unbilled Overage
Fees as reflected in the final reconciliation invoice described in Section 9.4 (Effect of
Termination). Client’s access to the Services, and the accrual of Fees, continues until the
effective date of termination.
9.4 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; provided, however, that Client may, by written request delivered to
Remora within thirty (30) days after the effective date of expiration or termination, and subject to
Client’s payment of all undisputed Fees then due, obtain one (1) export of the Client Data and
Customer Data then in Remora’s possession, in a commercially reasonable,
machine–readable format, and Remora will provide such export within a reasonable period after
receiving the request. Following such thirty (30) day period (or, if earlier, after delivery of the
requested export), Remora may delete any Client Data and Customer Data in its possession at any
time, subject to Section 11 (Data Retention and Deletion) of Remora’s Data Processing
Addendum. If Remora terminates this Agreement for cause as provided in Section 9.3 (Termination for
Cause), any payments for the remaining portion of the Subscription Term will become due immediately
and must be promptly paid by Client. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, Remora
will issue one final reconciliation invoice after the last service period ends, covering Overage
Fees for the final Measurement Period (or portion thereof ending on the effective date of
termination), any credit for prepaid Base Rate attributable to the period after the effective date
of termination (prorated in accordance with Section 7.6 (Included Sales Allowance; Overage Fees;
Proration; Fee Cap)), and any pending validated dispute credits under Section 7.9 (Invoice Disputes;
Credits), with any net payment due within ten (10) days of the invoice date. The final
reconciliation invoice is the sole exception to the
one–invoice–per–calendar–month structure set forth in Section 7.8 (Billing
Calendar; Payment of Fees). Except where this Agreement specifies an exclusive remedy, all remedies
under this Agreement, including termination or suspension, are cumulative and not exclusive of any
other rights or remedies that may be available.
9.5 Survival
Section 1 (Definitions), Section 2.5 (Restrictions), Section 2.6 (Reservation of Rights), Section 4
(Intellectual Property Ownership), Section 5 (Confidential Information), Section 6.3 (Client
Warranty), Section 6.5 (No Resale of Consumer Data), Section 7 (Fees and Payment) with respect to
Fees accrued through the effective date of termination and the final reconciliation invoice
described in Section 9.4 Section 8 (Notice), Section 9 (Term and Termination), Section 10
(Limitations of Liability), Section 11 (Indemnification), Section 12 (Dispute Resolution), Section
13.2 (Client Representations), Section 13.3 (Independent Contractor Status), Section 14 (General),
and the Data Processing Addendum (to the extent provided therein) shall survive any termination or
expiration of this Agreement. No other provisions of this Agreement survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement.

without prior notice.
Access to, and use of, the Technology and the Services is at your own risk. We have provided links to
certain Third–Party websites solely for your convenience, but we are not responsible for the
content of any Third–Party websites and do not endorse those websites. If you navigate to a
Third–Party website from any of the Remora websites or the Technology, we encourage you to
review and become familiar with the Third–Party’s privacy policies and terms.
10.2 Limited Warranty
Remora warrants that it shall perform the Services in a timely, workmanlike, and professional manner
in accordance with generally recognized industry standards for similar services and shall devote
adequate resources to meet its obligations under this Agreement. Remora (a) MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS
OR WARRANTIES EXCEPT FOR THOSE SET OUT ABOVE; AND (b) DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WARRANTIES THAT THE TECHNOLOGY OR THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR
ERROR FREE, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE PRACTICE. CLIENT
ACKNOWLEDGES THERE ARE INHERENT RISKS IN INTERNET CONNECTIVITY THAT COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF
CLIENT PRIVACY AND PROPERTY, INCLUDING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS
AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES SHALL BE DELIVERED BY REMORA AND ACCEPTED BY CLIENT “AS IS” AND
“AS AVAILABLE.” REMORA MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND THAT THE REMORA SERVICES OR
TECHNOLOGY, OR ANY PRODUCTS OR RESULTS OF THE USE THEREOF, WILL MEET CLIENT’S OR ANY OTHER
PERSON’S REQUIREMENTS, ACHIEVE ANY INTENDED RESULT, BE COMPATIBLE OR WORK WITH ANY SOFTWARE,
SYSTEM, OR OTHER SERVICES, OR BE SECURE, ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR ERROR FREE.
10.3 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 10.3. If Remora cannot reperform the Services
within thirty (30) days after Client’s written notice of such breach, Remora shall refund to
Client a pro–rata portion of the Fees actually paid by Client attributable to the defective
Services for the period affected by the breach. 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, except to the extent caused by Remora’s breach of
Section 2.14 (Security).
10.4 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.
10.5 Third–Party Resources Disclaimer
Remora accepts no responsibility for policies of Third–Party Resources (as defined in Section 1
(Definitions)) that Remora may submit to with respect to the classification or type of content they
accept, whether now or in the future. Client’s website or content may be excluded or banned
from any Third–Party Resource at any time by action of a Third–Party Resource. CLIENT
AGREES NOT TO HOLD REMORA RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ALLEGED DAMAGE TO CLIENT’S BUSINESS,
CLIENT’S WEBSITE, BRAND, DOMAIN, OR CONTENT OR ANY LIABILITY FROM ACTIONS TAKEN BY ANY
THIRD–PARTY RESOURCE AS A RESULT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TECHNOLOGY OR THE SERVICES
PERFORMED BY REMORA ACCORDING TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
10.6 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.
10.7 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. EXCEPT FOR
THE PARTIES’ RESPECTIVE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 11 (INDEMNIFICATION),
REMORA’S TOTAL LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED IN AGGREGATE THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY CLIENT TO
REMORA FOR THE APPLICABLE SERVICE(S) IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
FOR FREE ACCESS SUBSCRIPTIONS OR BETA RELEASES PROVIDED WITHOUT CHARGE, REMORA’S TOTAL
LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED IN AGGREGATE FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50.00 US). NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, NONE OF THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.7 EXCLUDES EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR
ITS OWN FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS
SECTION 10.7 IS A FUNDAMENTAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN AND A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN THE
PARTIES AND WILL SURVIVE AND APPLY TO ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY
REMORA TECHNOLOGY OR ANY RELATED SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT,
STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE). 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 10.7 ARE REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
11 – Indemnification
11.1 Indemnification by Client
Client will indemnify and hold harmless Remora and its officers, directors, employees, consultants,
affiliates, subsidiaries and agents (together, the “Remora Entities”) from and against
any Third–Party claims and related costs, damages, liabilities and expenses arising from or
pertaining to: (a) your unauthorized use of, or misuse of, the Services; (b) your violation of any
applicable law or Third–Party rights, including any intellectual property rights or publicity,
confidentiality, other property, or privacy right; (c) any dispute between you and any
Third–Party (including your Customers) to the extent arising out of Client’s conduct,
actions, or omissions; (d) any demand, dispute or issue between you and your payment processor; (e)
Client’s misuse of Client Data; (f) Remora’s use, in accordance with this Agreement, of
any information provided to Remora by you or your Customers; (g) any Third–Party claim arising
from Client’s breach of this Agreement, including Client’s warranties and obligations;
(h) any claim of a governmental entity or by any other party that you have violated any law, rule,
or regulation. Remora will provide Client prompt written notice of any claim subject to this Section
11.1, provided that delayed notice relieves Client of its obligations only to the extent Client is
materially prejudiced by the delay. Client will defend Remora against these claims at Remora’s
request with counsel reasonably acceptable to Remora, and Remora may participate in any claim
through counsel of its own choosing at its own expense; provided, however, that if Client fails to
timely assume the defense, Remora may defend the claim with counsel of its choosing and Client will
reimburse Remora for its reasonable expenses so incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and costs. The parties will reasonably cooperate on any defense. Client must not settle any claim
without Remora’s prior written consent if the settlement does not fully release Remora from
liability or would require Remora to admit fault, pay any amounts or take or refrain from taking any
action.
11.2 Indemnification by Remora
Remora will defend Client against any Third–Party claim alleging that the Technology or the
Services, as provided by Remora and used by Client in accordance with this Agreement, infringe or
misappropriate such Third–Party’s United States patent, copyright, trademark, or trade
secret, and will indemnify Client against the damages, liabilities, and costs (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) finally awarded against Client by a court of competent jurisdiction, or
agreed by Remora in settlement, as a result of such claim. Remora will additionally indemnify and
hold Client harmless from and against Third–Party claims, damages, and liabilities to the
extent arising from Remora’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Remora’s
obligations under this Section 11.2 do not apply to the extent a claim arises from: (a) Client Data,
Customer Data, or other content, materials, or specifications provided by Client, its Authorized
Users, or its Customers; (b) Third–Party Products or any other products, code, or services not
provided by Remora, or the combination, operation, or use of the Technology or the Services with any
of the foregoing, where the claim would not have arisen but for such combination; (c) any
modification of the Technology or the Services by anyone other than Remora or its authorized
representatives; (d) use of the Technology or the Services other than in accordance with this
Agreement and the Documentation, or continued use after Remora has notified Client in writing to
cease use due to an actual or potential infringement claim; or (e) Client’s breach of this
Agreement. If the Technology or the Services are, or in Remora’s reasonable opinion are likely
to become, the subject of an infringement or misappropriation claim, Remora may, at its option and
expense: (i) procure for Client the right to continue using the affected Technology or Services;
(ii) modify or replace the affected Technology or Services with a functionally equivalent,
non–infringing alternative, consistent with Section 2.3 (Modification of the Services); or
(iii) terminate the affected Services and refund any pre–paid unused Fees for the terminated
Services. Remora will control the defense and settlement of any claim under this Section 11.2 with
counsel of its choosing; Client may participate in the defense with counsel of its choice at its own
expense, and Client must promptly notify Remora in writing of any claim and provide reasonable
cooperation in the defense. Remora must not settle any claim in a manner that requires Client to
admit fault or pay any amounts without Client’s prior written consent. THIS SECTION 11.2
STATES REMORA’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY, AND CLIENT’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY,
FOR ANY CLAIM THAT THE TECHNOLOGY OR THE SERVICES INFRINGE, MISAPPROPRIATE, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATE ANY
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD–PARTY.
12 – Dispute Resolution
12.1 Disputes; Informal Resolution; Binding Arbitration
If a dispute arises between the parties related to this Agreement, the Technology, or the Services
provided thereunder (each, a “Claim”), the parties will first attempt in good faith to
resolve the Claim through informal negotiations for a period of at least thirty (30) days following
written notice of the Claim. Except for Excluded Claims (as defined below), any Claim not resolved
through informal negotiation will be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in
effect, before a single arbitrator, seated in Jacksonville, Florida (provided that either party may
elect to appear by videoconference), and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any
court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and
enforcement of this arbitration agreement. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any
dispute relating to the arbitrability of a Claim, except that only a court of competent jurisdiction
may decide the enforceability of Section 12.4 (Individual Basis). “Excluded Claims”
means: (a) claims to enjoin infringement or other misuse of Intellectual Property Rights or breach
of Section 5 (Confidential Information); (b) claims for equitable relief under Section 12.3
(Equitable Relief); (c) Remora’s claims for collection of unpaid Fees; and (d) claims within
the jurisdiction of small claims court. Excluded Claims, and any Claim finally determined to be
non–arbitrable, must be brought exclusively in the courts identified in Section 12.2
(Governing Law and Submission to Jurisdiction).
12.2 Governing Law and Submission to Jurisdiction
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State
of Florida without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause
the application of laws of any other jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out
of or related to this Agreement or the Services provided hereunder shall be instituted exclusively
in the state or federal courts in Jacksonville or Duval County, Florida, and each party irrevocably:
(a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts; and (b) waives any objection to such
courts based on venue or inconvenience. Service of process, summons, notice or other document by
mail to such party’s address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any
suit, action, or other proceeding brought in any such court.
12.3 Equitable Relief
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.
12.4 Individual Basis
YOU AND REMORA EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN
INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
12.5 Waiver of Jury Trial
EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING EXHIBITS,
SCHEDULES, ATTACHMENTS, AND APPENDICES ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT, IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED
AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN ARBITRATION, EACH
SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY EXHIBITS,
SCHEDULES, ATTACHMENTS, OR APPENDICES ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY. WE ALSO BOTH AGREE THAT YOU OR REMORA MAY BRING A SUIT IN COURT TO ENJOIN INFRINGEMENT OR
OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
13 – Representations and Warranties
13.1 Mutual Representations
Each party represents and warrants to the other party that: (a) it is duly organized, validly
existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation; (b) it has the
full right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement, to grant the rights and licenses
granted hereunder and to perform its obligations hereunder; (c) neither the execution and delivery
of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will violate or
conflict with or result in any breach of or default under any provision of any contract or agreement
of any kind to which such party is a party or by which such party is bound or to which any property
or asset of such party is subject; and (d) when executed and delivered by such party, this Agreement
will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such
party in accordance with its terms.
13.2 Client Representations
CLIENT REPRESENTS TO REMORA AND UNCONDITIONALLY COVENANTS AND GUARANTEES THAT IT SHALL NOT ACCEPT OR
USE THE TECHNOLOGY OR ANY OF THE SERVICES TO CREATE A COMPETITIVE PRODUCT OR PERMIT A
THIRD–PARTY TO USE THE TECHNOLOGY OR ANY OF THE SERVICES TO CREATE A COMPETITIVE PRODUCT;
AND/OR REPRODUCE, DUPLICATE, COPY, SELL AS A SERVICE TO ANY THIRD–PARTY, OR OTHERWISE EXPLOIT
ANY PORTION OF THE TECHNOLOGY OR THE SERVICES WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN PERMISSION BY REMORA.
13.3 Independent Contractor Status
The parties intend that the relationship between them created under this Agreement is that of an
independent contractor only. The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors, and this
Agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency
relationship. Neither party has the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other party.
Neither party is to be considered an agent or employee of the other party for any purpose
whatsoever. The details of the method and manner for performance of the Services by Remora shall be
under its own control, Client being interested only in the results thereof. Remora shall be solely
responsible for supervising, controlling, and directing the details and manner of the completion of
the Services. Nothing in this Agreement shall give Client the right to instruct, supervise, control,
or direct the details and manner of the completion of the Services. Remora shall be responsible for
all state, federal and local taxes, social security, workers’ compensation insurance,
disability insurance, and any other similar forms of payment, as well as all employment reporting,
for Remora and any of Remora’s employees or agents. The provisions of this Section shall
expressly survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
13.4 Remora Representations
Remora represents and warrants that, in providing the Services, Remora will comply in all material
respects with all federal and state laws, rules, and regulations applicable to Remora’s
provision of the Services, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable to Remora, the
CAN–SPAM Act of 2003 and the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (“GLBA”), each as
amended.
14 – General
14.1 Global Availability
We control the Technology and the Services from the United States. We make no representation that all
products and services are available worldwide. We reserve the right to limit, in our sole
discretion, the provision and quantity of any product or service to any person or geographic area.
If you choose to access the Technology or the Services from outside of the United States, you do so
on your own initiative and you are solely responsible for complying with applicable local laws.
Those who choose to access the Technology from other locations do so at their own initiative and are
responsible for compliance with local laws and any costs associated with access or use outside of
the Territory. You may not use or export the Services in violation of U.S. export laws and
regulations.
14.2 Prohibitions
Unless expressly and specifically authorized in writing by the other party in advance, each party is
prohibited from engaging in any of the following: (a) incurring any debt or obligation on behalf of
the other party; (b) entering into any contract, arrangement, or transaction which binds the other
party to any extent or creates any obligation on the other party; and/or (c) utilizing the other
party’s name, credit, reputation, goodwill, resources, and/or assets for any purpose without
the prior and explicit written approval of such party.
14.3 Use of Material for Promotional Purposes
Client grants Remora the right to use the work Remora produces for Remora’s own promotional
purposes and/or to cross–link it with other advertising developed by Remora. Client further
grants Remora the right to use Client’s trade names and trademarks in Remora’s
advertising and marketing materials and to list, reference, or otherwise identify Client as a Client
of Remora in Remora’s advertising and marketing materials. Remora will follow Client’s
reasonable written brand guidelines provided to Remora, and Client may revoke the rights granted in
this Section 14.3 as to future use at any time by written notice to Remora.
14.4 Review of this Agreement; Advice of Counsel
Each party hereto confirms that such party has had the opportunity to read, review and consider all
of the provisions of this Agreement, and to discuss this Agreement with whomever such party desired,
including lawyers of such party’s own choosing, and if such party has not consulted with a
lawyer, such party acknowledges having had the opportunity to have done so and that such party chose
voluntarily and knowingly not to consult with a lawyer with respect to this Agreement and all
matters related thereto. The parties each confirm that they understand the provisions of this
Agreement and its final and binding effect on them and that they are entering into this Agreement
freely, voluntarily, and without duress or coercion.
14.5 Severability
If any term or provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not
affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term
or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon a determination that any term or provision is invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to
affect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in order that the transactions
contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
14.6 Waiver
No waiver by any party of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless
explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in
this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or
privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
14.7 Assignment
This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party’s permitted successors and
assigns. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the advance written consent of the other
party, except that Remora may assign this Agreement without consent to an affiliate or in connection
with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its
assets or of the business to which this Agreement relates, upon written notice to Client. Any other
attempt to transfer or assign this Agreement will be null and void.
14.8 No Third–Party Beneficiaries
This Agreement benefits solely the parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted
successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, confers on any
Third–Party any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or
by reason of this Agreement.
14.9 Force Majeure
In no event shall Remora be liable to Client, or be deemed to have breached this Agreement, for any
failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement if and to the extent such
failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond Remora’s reasonable control, including
but not limited to acts of God, natural disaster, flood, fire, earthquake, hurricane, explosion,
war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, pandemic, epidemic, strikes, labor stoppages
or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, or passage of law or any action taken by a
governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo.
14.10 Headings
The headings of the Sections of this Agreement are inserted for reference only and shall not
constitute a part hereof or affect in any way the meaning of this Agreement. The headings are not
intended as a re–statement of the matters contained under each heading, and you acknowledge
that you have read and understand all the text of this Agreement, and not just the headings.
14.11 Strict Construction
The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the language chosen by the parties
hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied.

entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in any action or proceeding in
which it prevails to collect unpaid Fees, and (b) the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in any action or proceeding to enjoin or remedy
infringement, misappropriation, or other misuse of Intellectual Property Rights or breach of Section
5 (Confidential Information), in the event of a dispute arising out of this Agreement, each party
shall be responsible for all costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred by such
party.
14.13 Subcontractors
You agree that Remora may use subcontractors and may permit them to exercise the rights granted to
Remora in order to provide the Technology and related Services under this Agreement, provided that
this Section 14.13 does not limit Remora’s support guarantee in Section 3.2 (Remora’s
Guarantee). Remora shall ensure that its subcontractors are bound by and comply with the terms of
the Agreement, as well as all applicable federal, state or local law, regulation or a valid order
issued by a court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction.
14.14 Subpoenas
Nothing in this Agreement prevents Remora from disclosing Client Data to the extent required by law,
subpoenas, or court orders, but Remora will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Client
where permitted to do so.

This Agreement together with the Subscription Documentation, Rate Schedule, and the policies and
addenda incorporated by reference constitutes the sole and entire contract between you and Remora
regarding your access to our Technology or use of our Services, and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous contracts, representations, and warranties, both written and oral. In the event of a
conflict among the documents comprising this Agreement, the following order of precedence applies,
each solely to the extent of the conflict: (a) the Data Processing Addendum, with respect to the
Processing of personal information; (b) the Rate Schedule, with respect to rates and amounts (as
provided in Section 7.2 (Rate Schedule; Uniform Mechanics)); (c) the Subscription Documentation, to
the extent it expressly states that it modifies these Terms and identifies the provision modified;
(d) these Terms; and (e) the Acceptable Use Policy and the Privacy Policy. Material changes to the
Acceptable Use Policy or the Privacy Policy are subject to the notice requirements of Section 14.20

14.20 Amendment
Remora may amend this Agreement by providing written notice to Client, which must be delivered by
email to the email address(es) associated with Client’s account (and may not be given solely
by posting to Remora’s website): at least ninety (90) days’ prior written notice for any
amendment to the pricing methods set forth in Section 7 (Fees and Payment) or to the rates on
Client’s Rate Schedule (as further provided in Section 7.11 (Rate Reviews)), and at least
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice for any other material amendment. Each amendment
becomes effective upon the first renewal of Client’s Subscription Term occurring on or after
the expiration of the applicable notice period. If Client does not wish to accept an amendment,
Client’s sole remedy is to give notice of non–renewal under Section 9.1 (Term) or notice
of termination under Section 9.3 (Termination for Cause) before the amendment’s effective
date. Client’s continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance
of the amendment. This Section does not apply to amendments of Subscription Documentation, which
remain governed by Section 2.2 (Alteration of Subscription Documentation), and does not limit
Remora’s rights under Section 2.3 (Modification of the Services) or Section 2.16 (Security and
Platform Protection Actions).
