4.4 Reservation of Rights. We retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Platform, our Offerings and Glofox Technology, and all related Intellectual Property Rights, including, without limitation, any Enhancements thereto. Your rights to access the Platform and Documentation, and use Purchased Services, are limited to those expressly set forth in these Terms. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
4.5 Glofox Account. Only you and your Authorized Users have rights to access your Glofox account. You and Authorized Users are strictly forbidden from sharing or allowing third parties to use it. You must keep log-in credentials to your Glofox account secure at all times. If you suspect that your account or credentials have been or are being used by an unauthorized third party, or have been compromised, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We may attribute all use of your Glofox account to you, and you agree to be responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You grant us the right to update any of the contact information associated with your account for billing purposes.
4.6 Hardware. You are solely responsible for setting up, maintaining and paying for your own technical equipment and Hardware needed to access the Platform or use Purchased Services. Technical equipment and Hardware may include, without limitation, the internet connection at your business location, modems, payment terminals, peripherals, tablets, mobile devices and workstations, and any third-party services related to such technical equipment and Hardware. We make no warranties on your Hardware and expressly disclaim all liability related to or arising from your use of Hardware associated with Purchased Services.
4.7 Glofox APIs. If we make access to any APIs available as part of Purchased Services, we reserve the right to place limits on access to such APIs (for example, limits on the number of calls or requests). Further, we may monitor your usage of such APIs and limit the number of calls or requests you may make if we believe that your usage is in breach of the Agreement or may negatively affect the security, operability, or integrity of the Platform or any of our Offerings (or otherwise impose liability on us).
5. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.
5.1 Engagement. Only an initial online training and implementation come standard with the Fees associated with your Purchased Services. Supplemental or on-site training, consulting work, custom reporting and technical support services will all be considered as separate engagements for Professional Services outside the scope of the Agreement (although we will consider the fees you owed for Professional Services to be part of the Fees owed under the Agreement). Unless Professional Services are described in your Order Form (and associated fees quoted as a separate line item), engagements for Professional Services will be quoted by us separately and must be accepted by you in writing, generally in a formal Statement of Work. If we bill for Professional Services on an hourly basis, we will do our best to approximate the number of hours needed to complete the engagement. However, if we go over on estimated hours, you will be responsible for all overage hours worked.
5.2 Personnel. We will be responsible for all taxes and employment obligations arising from our employment of personnel or contractors who perform Professional Services. You agree that we may use subcontractors in the performance of Professional Services. Where we subcontract any of our obligations to provide Professional Services, we will not be relieved of our obligations to you under the Agreement or any separate contract for Professional Services.
5.3 Limited Warranty. We warrant that Professional Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner. You must notify us in writing of a breach of this warranty within 30 days of performance of the Professional Services. To the extent permitted by law, your sole and exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty and our sole liability under or in connection with this warranty will be the re-performance of the relevant Professional Services.
5.4 No Advice. Whether related to Professional Services or not, we and our Team, including our Affiliates, do not provide any tax, legal or accounting advice. Any materials (including best practices, templates or exemplars) provided by us, any member of our Team, or our Affiliates have been prepared for informational purposes only, and are not intended to, and should not be relied on as tax, legal or accounting advice.
6. SUBSCRIBER DATA AND SUBSCRIBER OBLIGATIONS.
6.1 Rights in Subscriber Data. As between the parties, you will retain all rights, title and interest (including any and all Intellectual Property Rights) in and to Subscriber Data. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, you hereby grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to use, copy, store, modify, create derivative works of and display Subscriber Data solely to the extent necessary to provide you with Purchased Services.
6.2 No Archiving Responsibilities. We are not an archive for your Subscriber Data and shall have no obligation to keep your Subscriber Data on our Platform after the Agreement has expired or been terminated. It will be your sole responsibility to maintain appropriate copies of any Subscriber Data that you consider important on your technology systems or other appropriate storage locations.
6.3 Data Processing by Glofox. All of our data processing activities will be governed by the Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) incorporated by reference into the Agreement.
6.4 Aggregated Anonymous Data. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you agree that we may obtain and aggregate technical and other data about your and your Authorized Users’ use of the Purchased Services that is non-personally identifiable (“Aggregated Anonymized Data”), and we may use the Aggregated Anonymized Data to analyze, improve, support and operate the Platform and otherwise for any other business purpose during and after the Term of the Agreement, including without limitation to generate industry benchmark, best practice guidance, or issue recommendations in similar reports or resources. For clarity, this Section does not give us the right to identify you as the source of any Aggregated Anonymous Data.
6.5 Subscriber Obligations. Your failure to comply with any of the obligations described below may be considered grounds for suspension of Purchased Service or considered by us to be a material breach of the Agreement.
(a) In General. You will be solely responsible for the accuracy, content and legality of your Subscriber Data. You represent and warrant to us that you have all necessary rights, consents, permissions to collect, share and use Subscriber Data as contemplated in the Agreement (including granting us the rights above in Section 6.1) and that no Subscriber Data will violate or infringe (i) any third party Intellectual Property Rights or, publicity, privacy or other rights, (ii) any applicable laws; or (iii) any terms of service, privacy policies or other agreements governing your Glofox account with any third-party platform. You will be responsible for any Subscriber Data submitted to the Platform by all of your Authorized Users.
(b) No Sensitive Personal Information. You agree not to use Purchased Services or the Platform to collect, store, process or transmit Sensitive Personal Information.
(c) Compliance with Applicable Laws. You agree to comply with applicable laws in your access to the Platform or use of Purchased Services.

You further acknowledge that you will be solely responsible for complying with any applicable health club, health spa, or similar state or local legislation relating to the content and requirements of your contracts with End Users.

7. PAYMENT.
The payment terms below only apply when you purchase Offerings directly from us. When you purchase Offerings from an authorized Glofox reseller, the payment terms are between you and the authorized reseller.
7.1 Fees. You agree to pay all Fees specified in the Order Form or otherwise permitted by the Agreement. Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable, except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms. Without limiting any of our other rights or remedies herein, overdue charges may accrue interest monthly at the rate of 1.5% of the then-outstanding unpaid balance, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. All Fees must be paid in the currency invoiced. We reserve the right to increase your Fees at the start of each Renewal Term(s) by providing you a 30-day prior written notice.
7.2 Payment Due Date; Dispute Procedures. Fees are due and payable either within 30 days from the date of invoice receipt or as otherwise stated in the Order Form (whether on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis). Please report any invoice errors immediately. If you fail to raise an objection to a Glofox invoice within 30 days after the date you receive it, the invoice will be presumed correct. You must pay the undisputed portion of all invoices as required by the Agreement. Your obligation to pay Fees is not contingent on the delivery of any Enhancements, or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by us regarding any future functionality or feature. Your failure to pay Fees or any other amounts owed to us under the Agreement may be considered a material breach of the Agreement.
7.3 Credit Cards. If you choose to pay by credit or debit card, you (a) will provide Glofox or its designated third-party payment processor with valid credit or debit card information; and (b) hereby authorize Glofox or its designated third-party payment processor to charge such credit or debit card for all amounts permitted by the Agreement, including Fees for Purchased Services. Such charges must be paid in advance or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order Form.
7.4 Taxes. All Fees quoted are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, including any applicable sales and use tax. You are responsible for paying any taxes or similar government assessments (including, without limitation, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes). If we pay taxes on your behalf, we will send you a special tax invoice which you will be expected to pay within 30 days following your receipt of such invoice. We will be obligated to comply with valid tax liens and levies associated with your account. We will be solely responsible for taxes assessable against us based on our net income, property and employees.
7.5 Collection. You will be liable for our costs associated with collection in addition to the amount owed, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and expenses, costs of any arbitration or court proceeding, collection agency fees, and any applicable interest.
8. TERM; TERMINATION; SUSPENSION.
8.1 Term; Automatic Renewal. The Term of the Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date described in your Order Form and will continue for the duration of the Initial Term unless earlier terminated by either party in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. At the end of the Initial Term, the Agreement will automatically renew for successive Renewal Term(s) (as identified in the Order Form) unless you provide us with a 30-day written notice prior to the end of the Initial Term or, as applicable, the Renewal Term. If no Term is described in your Order Form, then the Agreement will be considered month-to-month, terminable by either party with a 30-day written notice.
8.2 Termination for Convenience. We shall have the right to terminate the Agreement for convenience at any time for any reason not expressly prohibited by law.
8.3 Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate the Agreement, or any of the Purchased Services, by written notice to the other party: (a) upon 30 days written notice of a material breach if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period; or (b) immediately if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (c) immediately if the other party dissolves or ceases to do business in the ordinary course; or (d) immediately if you violate the “License Restrictions” provisions described in Section 4.3 or your confidentiality obligations described in Section 11.
8.4 Effect of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason: (a) all licenses granted by Glofox to you under the Agreement shall terminate; (b) all licenses granted by you to Glofox under the Agreement shall terminate; and (c) Glofox will shall use reasonable efforts to make available and/or deliver Subscriber Data to you or a third party that you designate within 60 days following termination of the Agreement; provided, however, that Glofox shall have no obligation to return Subscriber Data unless and until all outstanding Fees have been paid, including, without limitation, payment of our then-current off-boarding fee; and, provided further, that Glofox shall have no obligation to provide Subscriber Data to you outside of its standard processes and procedures for off-boarding such data, including, without limitation, Glofox’s file transfer mechanisms and standard file format; and (d) after such 60-day period, Glofox shall have no continuing obligation to keep, hold or store Subscriber Data, except as may be required by applicable law.
8.5 Suspension. In addition to any of our other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, any termination rights), we reserve the right to suspend Purchased Services or your access to the Platform: (a) if you are 30 days or more overdue in paying our Fees; (b) if you are, or if we have reason to believe, you are violating the License Restrictions described in Section 4.3 above; (c) if you are in material breach of the Agreement; (d) if we deem the suspension necessary to protect the availability, integrity, resilience or security of the Platform; or (e) as required by law or by judicial authority.

The terms of this Section 8 and the terms of the following Sections will survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement: Sections 4.4 (Reservation of Rights), 9 (Third Parties), 10 (Ownership), 11 (Confidentiality), 12 (Indemnification), 13 (Limitations of Liability), 14 (Limited Warranties), 15 (Privacy & Data Protection), 16 (Dispute Resolution),18 (Applicable Law; Venue) and 19 (General Terms).
9. THIRD PARTIES.
9.1 Authorized Resellers. If you purchase Offerings through an authorized Glofox reseller, then these Terms will govern those Offerings but your payment obligations for Purchased Services will be with the authorized reseller, not Glofox; in that case, you will have no direct Fee payment obligations to Glofox for those Offerings. Any terms agreed to between you and the authorized reseller that are in addition to these Terms are solely between you and the authorized reseller. No agreement between you and an authorized reseller is binding on us, or will it have any force or effect with respect to the rights in, or the operation, use or provision of, the Offerings.
9.2 Third-Party Sites, Products & Services. Our Platform may include links to other websites or services (“Linked Sites”) solely as a convenience to you. These Linked Sites may include, without limitation, social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Unless otherwise specifically and explicitly indicated, Glofox does not endorse any such Linked Sites or the information, material, products, or services contained on or accessible through Linked Sites. Furthermore, we make no express or implied warranties with regard to the information, material, products, or services that are contained on or accessible through Linked Sites. More generally, we may, from time to time, make available certain features or functionalities that allow you to integrate with or use the Purchased Services or Platform with products or services offered and provided by third parties (“Third-Party Services”). You are solely responsible for complying with any applicable terms and conditions for Third-Party Services, which are separate and independent of the terms and conditions of the Agreement. ALL LINKED SITES AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES UNDER THE AGREEMENT FOR ANY HARM OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH LINKED SITES AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF SUBSCRIBER DATA OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO SUBSCRIBER DATA. USE OF LINKED SITES AND/OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICES IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
9.3 Payment Services Through Stripe. The Platform integrates with third-party payment processor, Stripe, to permit certain payment processing functionalities as part of our Offerings. We refer to these payment services and functionalities as integrated with Stripe as “Glofox Payments.” Whether you receive payment services through Glofox Payments, or directly with Stripe, for purposes of the Agreement we will refer to all of these functions as “Payment Services.” Payment Services are provided by Stripe and your receipt of Payment Services will be subject to Stripe’s separate Stripe Connected Account Agreement, available here. The Stripe Connected Account Agreement and Stripe’s Terms of Service shall be referred to collectively as the “Stripe Services Agreement.”
If you receive Payment Services through the Platform, then in addition to being subject to our Agreement (including these Terms), you also accept and agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement. As a condition to your receipt of Payment Services and enabling this Offering, you agree to provide us with complete and accurate information about your business and you expressly authorize us to share this information with Stripe, including, as applicable, any transaction-related information, for your receipt and use of Payment Services. Any applicable Fees or other charges (including, without limitation, fees for chargebacks, collection fees, convenience fees, or charges incidental to the collection of delinquent accounts) related to Payment Services are described in your Order Form. During the Term of the Agreement, if Stripe increases its payment processing fees on transactions run at your business location (which would normally be the result of increased fees charged by the major card brand networks), we shall have the right to pass along these fee increases to you and adjust your Fees for Payment Services accordingly. In this instance, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you in writing (email will be sufficient) at least 14 days in advance of such fee increases taking effect.
By entering into an Agreement, you authorize and expressly permit us to collect any Fees (including Fees related to Payment Services) or other amounts owed to us under the Agreement directly from the funds payable to you as the result of your receipt of Payment Services. If the amount of funds payable to you after payment settlement is insufficient to cover our Fees or other amounts owed to us under the Agreement, then we may charge or debit your bank account or credit card associated with the account or seek Fees from another business location where you receive Payment Services through the Platform.
All merchants or sub-merchants receiving Payment Services must submit to risk underwriting prior to receiving Payment Services. As a condition of your receipt of Payment Services, you consent to and agree to cooperate with our or Stripe’s standard underwriting process, including, without limitation, providing us with documentation or information that we reasonably request. We may, as circumstances dictate, require an owner or principal associated with Subscriber to sign a personal guarantee for receipt of Payment Services. You consent to receiving communications from us, or our authorized agent for Payment Services, relating to any matter related to your Payment Services account, including, without limitation, emails or calls seeking to collect on a delinquent account.
IT SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RESPONSIBILITY TO PREPARE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SALE AND PROVISION OF YOUR OWN PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TO END USERS. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY LIABILITY RELATED TO OR ARISING FROM YOUR CONTRACTS, AGREEMENTS OR TERMS WITH END USERS. YOU AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD US AND OUR AFFILIATES HARMLESS FROM ANY DAMAGES OR LIABILITY RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF THE BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR END USERS, INCLUDING ANY LIABILITY RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENTS OR OTHER CONTRACTS OR LEGAL DOCUMENTS FOR YOUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.
10. OWNERSHIP.
10.1 Glofox Ownership. As between you and Glofox, we own and reserve all right, title, and interest in and to the Platform, our Offerings, and all Glofox Technology, including, without limitation, all Intellectual Property Rights associated therewith. We retain rights in anything delivered or developed by us or on our behalf under the Agreement. No rights are granted to you other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement.
10.2 Subscriber Ownership. As between you and Glofox, you own and reserve all right, title and interest in and to your Subscriber Data (with the understanding that you may not own data related to individual End Users, including without limitation End User card data, as applicable).
10.3 Feedback. You have no obligation to provide us with ideas for improvement, suggestions or other feedback (collectively, “Feedback”) in connection with an Offering, unless otherwise expressly set forth in the applicable Order Form. If, however, you provide any Feedback, you hereby grant to Glofox a non-exclusive, transferable, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license (with rights to sublicense) to make, use, sell, offer to sell, reproduce, modify, distribute, make available, publicly display and perform, disclose and otherwise commercially exploit the Feedback.
11. CONFIDENTIALITY.
11.1 Obligations and Restrictions. The Receiving Party will: (a) keep the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information confidential; (b) not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party other than its officers, directors, employees or contractors working on Receiving Party’s behalf (collectively, “Representatives”) without the Disclosing Party’s written permission; (c) exclusively use such Confidential Information for its intended purpose; and (d) not remove any copyrights, trademark notices, or other indications of confidentiality from such Confidential Information. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its Representatives provided that each such individual is bound by confidentiality obligations that are at least as restrictive as the terms contained in the Agreement. The Receiving Party is responsible for its Representatives’ use and disclosure of Confidential Information and will take reasonable steps to ensure their compliance with the Agreement. Subscriber acknowledges that subcontractors and sub-processors of Subscriber Data may have access to Confidential Information that is shared through the Platform.
11.2 Compelled Disclosure. In the event that Receiving Party is required to disclose Confidential Information in a judicial or administrative proceeding, Receiving Party shall, to the extent permitted by law, give Disclosing Party as much advance notice as practical of the possibility of disclosure to allow Disclosing Party to stop such disclosure or obtain a protective order concerning such disclosure and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by Disclosing Party, Receiving Party is nonetheless, in the opinion of Receiving Party’s counsel, legally obligated to disclose Confidential Information, Receiving Party agrees to disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which its counsel advises is legally required to be so disclosed and to exercise commercially reasonably efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information so disclosed, including, without limitation, by cooperating with Disclosing Party to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be given to such Confidential Information by such judicial or administrative body.
11.3 Equitable Relief. The Receiving Party acknowledges that the unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information may cause the disclosing party irreparable harm and significant damages that may be difficult to calculate. Therefore, the Disclosing Party will have the right to seek equitable relief to prevent or stop any actual or threatened unauthorized use or disclosure of its Confidential Information in addition to any other rights and remedies that it may have.
12. INDEMNIFICATION.
12.1 Glofox Indemnity Obligations. Subject to the indemnification conditions described in Section 12.3, we will defend, at our expense, any third-party Claim against you made during the Term to the extent the Claim alleges that (a) the Platform or Purchased Services directly infringe on a third party’s patent, copyright or trademark; or that (b) we have misappropriated the third party’s trade secret (“Infringement Claim”). We will pay any damages finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction (or settlement amounts agreed to by us in writing). In the defense or settlement of any Infringement Claim, we may, at our sole option and expense: (i) procure for you a license to continue using the Platform or Purchased Services (or its infringing part) under the terms of this Agreement; (ii) replace or modify the allegedly infringing Platform or Purchased Service (or its infringing part) to avoid the infringement; or (iii) where (i) or (ii) are not reasonable or commercially feasible, terminate your license and access to the Platform and/or Purchased Services (or its infringing part) and issue you a refund for any prepaid Fees related to the loss of such Purchased Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall have no liability for any Infringement Claim that arises from any: (A) use of the Platform or Purchased Services in violation of the Agreement; (B) modification of the Platform or Purchased Services by you or any third party acting on your behalf; (C) failure by you to install the latest updated version of Platform software or Purchased Services as requested by us to avoid infringement; or (D) third party products, services, hardware, software or other materials, or combination of these with the Platform or Purchased Services, if the Platform or Purchased Services would not be infringing without this combination.
12.2 Subscriber Indemnity Obligations.

12.3 Indemnification Conditions. The indemnifying party, whether you or us, shall have no liability for any Claim that arises from any failure of the indemnified party to: (a) notify the indemnifying party in writing of the Claim promptly upon the earlier of learning of or receiving a notice of it, to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced by this failure; (b) provide the indemnifying party with reasonable assistance requested by the indemnifying party for the defense or settlement (as applicable) of the Claim; (c) provide the indemnifying party with the exclusive right to control and the authority to settle the Claim; and (d) refrain from making admissions or statements about the Claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent.
12.4 Sole and Exclusive Remedy. The remedies in this Section 12 (Indemnification) are, in addition to any termination or suspension remedies expressly set forth in this Agreement, the indemnified party’s sole and exclusive remedies and the indemnifying party’s sole liability regarding the subject matter giving rise to any Claim, including any claims regarding confidentiality obligations involving Subscriber Data that may arise from an incident resulting in a data breach.

13.3 Independent Allocation of Risk. You acknowledge and agree that the essential purpose of this Section is to allocate the risks under the Agreement between the parties and limit potential liability given the Fees charged, which would have been substantially higher if we were to assume any further liability other than as set forth herein. This allocation is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between you and us. Each of these provisions is severable and independent of all other provisions of the Agreement, and each of these provisions will apply even if the limited warranties in the Agreement have failed of their essential purpose.
13.4 Time Limitation. You further agree that any Claim which you may have against us must be filed within one (1) year after such Claim arose, otherwise the Claim shall be permanently barred.

The limited warranty set forth herein will not apply: (a) unless you make a claim within 30 days of the date on which you first noticed the non-conformity; (b) if the error was caused by misuse, unauthorized modification or Third-Party Services or Hardware; or (c) to use provided for Beta Offerings.

In the event of any Claim or dispute arising out of or related to your Agreement with us, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation or validity of this Agreement, or any part of it (collectively, “Dispute”), the party asserting the Dispute shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation or evidence) of the Dispute, and allowing the receiving party 30 days from the date of sending to respond to the Dispute.

YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.
