IF CUSTOMER SIGNS UP FOR THE LICENSED PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, EITHER THROUGH THE WEB SITE OR BY SIGNING AN ORDER, CONTRACT, CUSTOMER AGREES THAT IT HAS READ, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
This Master Subscription and Services Agreement (this "Agreement") is by and between Signal Genesys ("Signal Genesys") and the Customer, including its Affiliates (collectively "Customer") identified in the applicable Order. The "Effective Date" of this Agreement will be the date first written and signed on Customer's Order (defined below).
1.0 Subscription and Services
1.1 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Customer may use or receive the Signal Genesys Subscription and Services that Customer selects in order forms executed in writing by both parties or entered into by Customer on-line through Signal Genesys's web site (each an "Order"). "Subscription" means Customer's and its Permitted Users' access rights to the Licensed Products (as defined below) by and on behalf of Signal Genesys, which shall include Support as set forth in the applicable Order. "Services" means those professional services or trainings that are agreed upon and set forth in the applicable Order. UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED, NEITHER THE SUBSCRIPTION NOR THE SERVICES ARE PERFORMED OR PROVIDED AT CUSTOMER'S FACILITIES, AND ARE INSTEAD ACCESSED BY CUSTOMER REMOTELY VIA THE INTERNET AND DATA MAY BE STORED OR HOSTED OUTSIDE OF CUSTOMER'S COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.
1.2 The scope of the Subscription is based upon Customer's then current subscription level as further specified in the applicable Order. The number of Permitted Users will be set forth in the applicable Order and determined on an individual, named user basis rather than on a concurrent user or shared user basis. For purposes of this Agreement, "Permitted User" means Customer employees and Customer Advisors authorized by Customer to access and use the Licensed Products. "Advisor" means each party's Affiliate employees, outside lawyers, independent auditors, consultants, or accountants. Permitted Users may not be a company or individual of a company that competes with Signal Genesys in offering subscriptions or services similar to Signal Genesys's offerings (each an "Signal Genesys Competitor") without Signal Genesys's prior written consent. Customer may permit its Advisors to utilize the Services as Permitted Users solely for the purpose of providing services for Customer. Customer may utilize the administrative tools to reassign different individuals to Permitted User slots on a reasonable basis. Signal Genesys may confirm the number of Permitted Users utilizing the Subscription and if the number of Permitted Users exceeds the number of Permitted Users as set forth in the applicable Order, Signal Genesys may adjust the Subscription Fees ("Subscription Fees") billed to Customer to reflect such additional Permitted Users. Such confirmation does not include access to Customer's network or allow Signal Genesys access to Customer Data (defined below).
1.3 "Licensed Products" means Signal Genesys software and Third Party Software, as well as the Documentation, operating instructions, user instructions, and other materials which may be furnished to Customer by Signal Genesys in printed or electronic format that are pertinent to the use of the Subscription. "Documentation" means the instructions, specifications, and other materials describing the functionality, features, and operating characteristics of the Licensed Products, are available after logging into Customer's account located at app.signalgenesys.io, and any updates thereto.
1.4 "Third Party Software" means software and services authored by a third party. As of the Effective Date, there are no additional terms associated with the Third Party Software ("Third Party Terms") that Customer must comply with. However, if after the Effective Date the Third Party Software should become subject to Third Party Terms, upon reasonable notice to Customer such terms will be attached to this Agreement or the applicable Order. If Customer determines the Third Party Terms have an adverse impact on Customer, and as a result Customer does not consent to the Third Party Terms, Customer must notify Signal Genesys of its rejection of the Third Party Terms within thirty (30) days after their receipt. If Customer provides such notice, Signal Genesys shall be entitled to terminate immediately this Agreement, and in such case Signal Genesys will provide Customer with a refund for any prepaid and unearned fees.
1.5 Affiliates may receive Subscription and/or Services by executing an Order that outlines the scope of the applicable Subscription or Services and that incorporates this Agreement by reference. Each Affiliate that signs an Order referencing this Agreement shall be considered "Customer" as such term is used herein and such Affiliate is solely responsible for its obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Order. Customer agrees it will be responsible for all obligations under this Agreement by any Affiliate that receives Services under Customer's Order. "Affiliate" means any corporation, partnership, joint venture, joint stock company, limited liability company, trust, estate, association, or other entity the existence of which is recognized by any governmental authority, (collectively an "Entity") that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with Customer or any Entity in which Customer has any direct or indirect ownership interest, whether controlling or not, of at least 50%, at any time during the term of this Agreement. For purposes of this definition the term "controls", "is controlled by" or "under common control with" means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
2.0 Obligations of the Parties
2.1 Each party will, at its own expense: (a) remain compliant with all laws and government regulations applicable to this Agreement, and (b) reasonably cooperate with the other party in connection with such party's performance hereunder.
2.2 Unless otherwise agreed, Customer is responsible for all data or information inputted, edited, authored, generated, managed or otherwise submitted by Customer or its Permitted Users (the "Data") into the Licensed Products. As between Customer and Signal Genesys, Customer will be responsible for the accuracy, truthfulness, consistency, and completeness and consents to use of all information supplied by or on behalf of Customer. Signal Genesys will have no responsibility to review information posted by Customer or its Permitted Users. Signal Genesys will have no liability as to the accuracy of any content posted by Customer or its Permitted Users. Upon request by Customer made within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, Signal Genesys will make the Data available to Customer for export or download as provided in the Documentation. After such 30-day period, Signal Genesys will have no obligation to maintain or provide the Data, and will thereafter delete or destroy all copies of the Data in Signal Genesys's systems or otherwise in Signal Genesys's possession or control as provided in the Documentation, unless legally prohibited.
2.3 Customer will, at Customer's expense: (a) allow Signal Genesys reasonable remote access to Customer's Subscription account for the purpose of resolving reported problems or to verify Customer's compliance with the terms of this Agreement (such access does not require access to Customer's network or systems); (b) channel its communications regarding support of the Licensed Products, its Subscription account, and/or Services through its Permitted Users; (c) provide its own equipment and communication means and pay for its own costs and expenses associated with connecting to the internet; and (d) provide Customer-specific information necessary for providing the Subscription and/or Service upon Signal Genesys's request.
2.4 Customer will be responsible for payment as described in Section 3.0.
2.5 From time to time, Signal Genesys may invite Customer to try Beta Services and/or Products. Customer may accept or decline any such trial in its sole discretion. Beta Services and/or Products will be clearly designated as beta, pilot, limited release, developer preview, non production, evaluation or by a description of similar import. Beta Services are for evaluation purposes only and not for production use, are not considered "Licensed Products" or "Services" under this Agreement, are not supported, and may be subject to additional terms. Unless otherwise stated, any Beta Services trial period will expire upon the earlier of one year from the trial start date or the date that a version of the Beta Services and/or Products becomes generally available. Signal Genesys may discontinue Beta Services and/or Products at any time in its sole discretion and may never make them generally available.Signal Genesys will have no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with a Beta Service and/or Product.
3.0 Payment
3.1 Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order, Signal Genesys may increase the fees for the Subscription and/or Services under this Agreement at any time during the term of this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Customer.
3.2 Fees stated in the Orders do not include applicable taxes. Customer agrees to bear all taxes including, but not limited to, value-added tax, sales and use tax, gross receipts tax, and any similar tax, except for taxes based upon Signal Genesys's income, which may be levied or assessed in connection with this Agreement. Customer shall pay such tax when due or reimburse Signal Genesys. If any tax is required to be paid by Signal Genesys, the full amount of such tax will be billed to Customer separately, whether or not this Agreement is then in effect and promptly paid by Customer. Subscription Fees are based on the Subscription purchased and not on the actual use of the Licensed Products and/or Services by Customer.
3.3 Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order: (a) Customer shall pay all fees under this Agreement (i) in U.S. Dollars, (ii) in advance and (iii) no later than thirty (30) days from receipt of invoice; (b) if any sum payable under this Agreement is not paid when due then, without prejudice to Signal Genesys's other rights under this Agreement, the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue amount from the due date until payment is made in full both before or after any judgment, at the lesser of: (i) one and one half percent (1.5%) per month; or (ii) the highest rate allowed by law; and (c) if Customer has not paid the invoice in full within thirty (30), Signal Genesys has the right to suspend Customer's Subscription or Signal Genesys's provision of Services until full payment, including late payment charges, are paid by Customer. In the case that Customer requires the use of a third party for invoice processing, Customer shall be the sole bearer of any cost and expense associated with such third party.
3.4 To the extent Customer requires the use of a purchase order prior to making any payments under this Agreement, Customer's failure to submit such purchase order to Signal Genesys does not excuse Customer from payment of the fees in the amounts, or in the manner, agreed upon herein or in the applicable Order. If Customer disputes the fees charged within an applicable invoice, Customer must provide Signal Genesys written notice of such dispute within a commercially reasonable time from receipt of invoice. Upon the receipt of such notice, Customer and Signal Genesys will work in good faith to address such contested amounts, provided, however, that Customer will remain responsible for the portion of fees that are not disputed.
4.0 Term; Termination
4.1 Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order, each term set forth in a Subscription Order ("Subscription Term") will (a) begin on the Start Date set forth on the applicable Order, (b) remain in effect for a period of twelve (12) months, and (c) AUTOMATICALLY AND CONTINUOUSLY RENEW FOR ADDITIONAL TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIODS UNTIL EITHER PARTY NOTIFIES THE OTHER THAT THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT RENEW AT LEAST SIXTY (60) DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE THEN CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION TERM. Notwithstanding Customer's notice of non-renewal prior to the expiration of the Subscription Term, Customer will remain responsible for the Subscription Fees associated with such Subscription Term.
4.2 Unless otherwise terminated pursuant to this Section 4.0, the "Term" of this Agreement shall run from the Start Date of the first Subscription Order and continue until expiration or termination of the last term under the Subscription Orders to this Agreement.
4.3 Either party may terminate this Agreement, or any Order, for a material breach by the other party that is not cured within a reasonable term after written notice of such material breach. The non-breaching party may elect to terminate the applicable Order only or the Agreement as a whole (and thus, all Orders hereunder); but shall identify its selection in writing in the original notice of breach.
4.4 Customer may terminate this Agreement or an Order without cause upon thirty (30) days written notice, provided, it shall remain responsible for the (a) Subscription Fees associated with the then current Subscription Term, and (b) fees for any completed Services. Signal Genesys may terminate this Agreement without cause upon thirty (30) days written notice, provided that it shall refund unearned fees within a commercially reasonable time.
4.5 Neither expiration nor termination of this Agreement will terminate those obligations and rights of the parties pursuant to provisions of this Agreement which by their express terms are intended to survive and such provisions will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the respective rights and obligations of the parties under Sections 5, 7, 8, 10 and 11 will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement regardless of when such termination becomes effective.
5.0 Confidential Information
5.1 Signal Genesys and its service providers shall collect, use, disclose and otherwise utilize the Data solely for purposes of providing the Subscription or Services to Customer under this Agreement. In connection with this Agreement, each of the parties may disclose to the other party information that relates to the disclosing party's or disclosing party's customers' business operations, financial condition, customers, products, services, or technical knowledge ("Confidential Information"). Except as otherwise specifically agreed in writing, each party agrees that: (a) all information communicated to it by the other in connection with this Agreement and identified as confidential; (b) all information identified as confidential to which it has access in connection with this Agreement; and (c) all information communicated to it that reasonably should have been understood by the receiving party, because of confidentiality, descriptions or similar legends, the circumstances of disclosure or the nature of the information itself, to be confidential to the disclosing party, will be Confidential Information and will be deemed to have been received in confidence and will be used only for purposes of this Agreement. Signal Genesys Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, the Licensed Products, training materials, development plans, screenshots, and Documentation related thereto.

5.2 Each party's Confidential Information will remain the property of that party except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. Each party will use at least the same degree of care to safeguard and to prevent disclosing to third parties the Confidential Information of the other as it employs to avoid unauthorized disclosure or publication of its own information (or information of its customers) of a similar nature, and in any event, no less than reasonable care. Each party may disclose relevant aspects of the other party's Confidential Information to its employees to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary for the performance of its obligations, or the enforcement of its rights, under this Agreement; provided, however, that such party will use reasonable efforts to ensure that all such persons comply with these confidentiality provisions. Each party may disclose the other party's Confidential Information to its Advisors provided that the Advisors are subject to (a) written confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Agreement, or (b) other professional or fiduciary obligations of confidentiality. Advisors are restricted to using the Confidential Information for the sole purpose of providing the contracted services to the party. Each party will be responsible for any improper disclosure of Confidential Information by such party's employees, Advisors, agents, or contractors.

Neither party may withhold the Confidential Information of the other party or refuse for any reason (including due to the other party's actual or alleged breach of this Agreement) to promptly return to the other party its Confidential Information (including copies thereof) if requested to do so. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement and completion of a party's obligations under this Agreement, each party will (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement) return or destroy, as the other party may direct, all documentation in any medium that contains or refers to the other party's Confidential Information, and retain no copies. Subject to the foregoing confidentiality obligations, either party may retain copies of the Confidential Information of the other party to the extent required to document its performance or for compliance with applicable laws or regulations.
5.4 This Section 5 will not apply to any particular information that either party can demonstrate (a) was, at the time of disclosure to it, in the public domain; (b) after disclosure to it, is published or otherwise becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the receiving party; (c) was in the possession of the receiving party at the time of disclosure to it and was not the subject of a pre- existing confidentiality obligation; (d) was received after disclosure to it from a third party who had a lawful right to disclose such information (without corresponding confidentiality obligations) to it; or (e) was independently developed by or for the receiving party without use of the Confidential Information of the disclosing party. In addition, a party will not be considered to have breached its obligations under this Section 5 for disclosing Confidential Information of the other party to the extent required to satisfy any legal requirement of a competent governmental or regulatory authority, provided that promptly upon receiving any such request and to the extent it is legally permissible, such party advises the other party prior to making such disclosure and provides a reasonable opportunity to the other party to object to such disclosure, take action to ensure confidential treatment of the Confidential Information, or (subject to applicable law) take such other action as it considers appropriate to protect the Confidential Information.
5.5 Each party will: (a) notify the other party promptly of any material unauthorized possession, use, or knowledge, of the other party's Confidential Information by any person that may become known to such party; (b) promptly furnish to the other party details of the unauthorized possession, use, or knowledge, or attempt thereof, and use reasonable efforts to assist the other party in investigating or preventing the recurrence of any unauthorized possession, use, or knowledge, or attempt thereof, of Confidential Information; (c) use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other party in any litigation and investigation against third parties deemed necessary by the other party to protect its proprietary rights; and (d) promptly use reasonable efforts to prevent a recurrence of any such unauthorized possession, use, or knowledge of Confidential Information.
5.6 In addition to the foregoing obligations, Customer agrees to hold the Licensed Products, and all logins and passwords for the Subscription, in confidence, and to protect the confidential nature thereof, and shall not disclose any trade secrets contained, embodied, or utilized therein, to anyone other than a Permitted User having a need for such disclosure, and then only to allow use of the Licensed Products as authorized herein. Customer shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that the provisions of this Section are not violated by any employee, Permitted User, Advisor, or any other person under Customer's control or in its service.
5.7 In providing the Subscription, Signal Genesys utilizes the services of AWS and Google Cloud ("Cloud Hosting Providers"). Signal Genesys and its Cloud Hosting Providers may record and collect information related to account activity (e.g., typical web analytics, which includes but is not limited to latency, packet size, hops, and source destination) in the course of providing the Subscription, but may only use such information to improve the Subscription and/or fulfill its rights and obligations under this Agreement or an Order. Collection of such information by Cloud Hosting Providers is not individually linked to Customer or its Permitted Users, is de-identified, and aggregated across all of Signal Genesys's customers generally. Any use of such information is subject to the terms of this Section 5.0.
5.8 In providing the Subscription, Customer hereby grants to Signal Genesys a non-exclusive, fully paid, worldwide and irrevocable license to, among other things, copy, anonymize, aggregate, process and display the Data and to derive anonymous statistical, usage and other informational data related to the Data (the "Survey Data") and to compile, analyze, combine or incorporate the Survey Data with or into other similar data and information available, derived or obtained from other clients, customers, licensees or users of Signal Genesys, or otherwise (collectively, the Survey Data and such compiled, combined or incorporated data and information shall be referred to as the "Aggregate Survey Data"), to permit Signal Genesys to provide additional services to its customers, including the copying, publication, distribution, display, licensing or sale of Aggregate Survey Data and related or similar other statistics or data to third parties pursuant to a separate licensing agreement, sales agreement or other type of agreement.

The Survey Data and Aggregate Survey Data are explicitly not subject to the terms of this Section 5.0.
