SECTION 1. ACCESS TO THE SERVICES

1.1 Service. We will make the Services available to End-Users within the Territory pursuant to these Terms of Service and the applicable Order Form(s).   Each End-User’s use of the Burnalong Platform and Services will subject to Burnalong’s then current, terms and conditions for End-Users.

SECTION 2. TERM AND TERMINATION

2.1 Subscription Term. Your subscription to the Service shall commence on the Effective Date and continue for the Initial Term as set forth in the Order Form.  Upon expiration of the Initial Term, the Subscription Term shall automatically renew for the same period as the Initial Term described in the Order Form unless either Party provides written notice of termination at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.

2.2 Termination.  Either Party may terminate Your subscription upon written notice of termination if the other Party: (1) defaults in the performance of or breaches any material requirement or obligation, which default or breach is not cured within ninety (90) days following the defaulting or breaching Party’s receipt of written notice of default; (2) ceases doing business in the normal course; (3) is the subject of any state or federal proceeding (whether voluntary or involuntary) relating to its bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation that is not dismissed within ninety (90) days; or (4) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a receiver is appointed for a substantial part of the other Party’s assets.  Payment obligations of accrued amounts for Services rendered and any claims relating to these Terms of Service shall survive termination. 

2.3 Payment. Upon Termination. Except for Your termination under Section 2.2, if You terminate Your subscription to a Service prior to the end of Your then effective Subscription Term, or if We terminate or cancel Your subscription pursuant to Section 2.2, in addition to any other amounts You may owe Burnalong, You must immediately pay any then undisputed Subscription Charges associated with the remainder of such Subscription Term.

2.4 No Refunds. Except for Your termination rights under Section, 2.2, if You elect to terminate Your subscription prior to the end of Your then current Subscription Term, no refunds or credits for Subscription Charges or other fees or payments will be provided to You.

 

 

SECTION 3. PAYMENTS AND TAXES

3.1 Payment Terms. You agree that the Fees must be paid  upfront at the beginning of each Subscription Term by pre-approved credit card in the amount reflected on the Order Form pursuant to these Terms of Service. You authorize Burnalong or its designee to make such automatic charges to Your credit card. If You change Your financial institution, You will provide Burnalong all information needed for the replacement automatic charge at least ten (10) days before the effective date of the change. Any payment that remains unpaid for twenty-one (21) days shall entitle Burnalong to terminate Your subscription for the Service. The closing of Your account, insufficient funds, denial of a transaction by Your credit card company, or any other action which prevents the automatic charge for Fees shall constitute a material breach of these Terms of Service. You agree to pay reasonable attorney fees, legal expenses, and other lawful collection costs and expenses of collection incurred after an uncured breach of these Terms of Service. You acknowledge and agree that Your method of payment shall be processed by a third-party PCI-DSS compliant payments processor.

3.2 Price Increases.  Burnalong may increase the Fees for the Services identified in any Order Form  for each Renewal Term by up to 8.00% over the Fees paid by You for the prior Subscription Term.  The aforementioned limitation shall not apply with respect to price increases following a promotional offer.  Burnalong will provide You with written notice of any such price increase. 

3.3 Taxes. Each Party shall pay all international, federal, state, and local sales, use, or other applicable taxes for which such Party may become liable under the implementation of this Order Form.  You shall be responsible for any applicable taxes related to the purchase of Services except for taxes related to Burnalong’s gross income. You agree to provide all reasonably requested information related to tax matters associated with Your purchase of the Service.

 

SECTION 4. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Each Party shall maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other Party and not disclose or disseminate such Confidential Information to third parties. The receiving party shall use reasonable care in maintaining the Confidential Information.

Upon termination or expiration of Your subscription, the Parties shall destroy or return all Confidential Information of the other Party and shall not use any Confidential Information of the other Party in its business. A receiving party shall not be required to delete Confidential Information that is stored in its electronic files as backup and all such Confidential Information shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Section 4 for so long as such information is retained by a receiving party.

If Burnalong refuses or otherwise fails to defend such Third-Party Claim as provided herein, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend such Third-Party Claim in any manner it deems appropriate at the sole cost of Burnalong; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party will not settle such a Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of Burnalong, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

7.2   Burnalong shall have no indemnification obligation or other liability for any infringement or misappropriation claim to the extent resulting or alleged to result from: (1) use of the Burnalong IP thereof in combination with any equipment, software, or data not approved for use by Burnalong, or use in any manner for which the Burnalong IP was not designed, or any modification or alteration of the Burnalong IP by an person or entity other than Burnalong; (2) any instruction, information, design or other materials furnished by You to Burnalong hereunder; or (3) Your continuing the allegedly infringing activity after being provided by Burnalong with modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement.

7.3   If such a Third-Party Claim is made or appears possible, You agree to permit Burnalong, at Burnalong’s sole cost and expense, to (1) modify or replace the Burnalong IP, or component or part thereof, to make it non-infringing, or (2) obtain the right for You to continue use the Burnalong IP. If neither of these alternatives are possible notwithstanding Burnalong’s commercially reasonable efforts, Burnalong may terminate Your subscription, in its entirety or with respect to the affected component or part, effective immediately on written notice to You, provided that Burnalong shall refund or credit to You all amounts paid by You in respect of the Burnalong IP that You cannot reasonably use as intended under these Terms of Service.
