If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining portions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and enforceable. This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable except with each Party’s prior written consent. This Agreement, including its attachments and the policies referenced herein, is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be altered, edited or modified except in a writing signed by all Parties. No action or inaction by any Party shall constitute the waiver by any Party of any right it may have hereunder. The Parties hereto are independent contractors with respect to each other and no agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of this Agreement. Neither Party hereto has any authority of any kind to bind the other Company in any respect whatsoever. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees. All notices under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service; and upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any controversy or claim arising under or in connection with this Agreement and/or the Services, or in connection with the validity, construction, performance, or purported breach of this Agreement and/or the Services, and/or in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement and/or the Services, shall be resolved by final, binding, and non-appealable arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator and administered by the American Arbitration Association in the city of San Jose, California, or, by the election of any party, virtually all in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”), as they may be amended and in effect at the time the arbitration is filed, regardless of the amount in dispute, and judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any state or federal court having jurisdiction thereof. To be clear, without limiting the previous sentence, the arbitration shall be commenced and the arbitrator shall be chosen in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Rules, which are incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement by reference. The parties agree to accept service of process in accordance with the Rules. Further, the parties agree to abide by and perform any award rendered in any such arbitration, and agree that any court having jurisdiction over them may issue a judgment based upon the award. The prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to reimbursement of all costs of the arbitration, including but not limited to filing fees and expenses, arbitrator fees and expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. BY AGREEING TO FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY IS WAIVING ITS RIGHT TO (A) A TRIAL BY JURY OR A JUDGE, IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT, (B) FINDINGS OF FACT AND USE OF THE RULES OF EVIDENCE PURSUANT TO THE DELAWARE RULES OF EVIDENCE OR THE FEDERAL RULES OF EVIDENCE, (C) AN APPEAL (EXCEPT ONE IN LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES AND LIMITED IN SCOPE), AND (D) FORMAL DISCOVERY RIGHTS WHICH PARTIES TO A LAWSUIT GENERALLY HAVE.
It is the intent of the Parties that this Agreement comply in all respects with all Applicable Laws and the Parties have structured their relationship with that specific intent. However, each Party understands that the Applicable Laws are complicated and in a state of flux. Therefore, subject to this paragraph, in the event that any provision of this Agreement is rendered invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, or the applicable laws and regulations are altered by any legislative or regulatory body, or either Party notifies the other Party in writing of its reasonable belief that this Agreement or any of its provisions may be declared null, void, unenforceable, or in violation of Applicable Laws, the remaining provisions, if any, of this Agreement shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect as set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any change to Applicable Law has a materially adverse effect on the ability of either Party to carry out its obligations under this Agreement such Party, upon written notice, may request renegotiation of this Agreement in good faith to amend this Agreement to the extent reasonably necessary or prudent to address the change in Applicable Law in a manner that accomplishes the intents and objectives of the Parties, as evidenced by the terms of this Agreement, in all material respects to the extent possible. Such renegotiation will be undertaken in good faith and may include the use of a mutually approved independent third-party mediator. If the Parties are unable to renegotiate the terms within ten (10) days after such notice and good faith negotiations, either Party may terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days’ further written notice or at the end of the Term (even if less than thirty (30) days remain until the end of the Term), whichever is earlier. For purposes of this section “Applicable Laws” means any and all applicable local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations; including but not limited to California’s MAUCRSA and the California DCC Regulations, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the U.S. Federal Controlled Substances Act shall for purposes hereof not constitute an Applicable Law, and a violation of the CSA shall not be deemed to constitute non-compliance with Applicable Law as used herein.
EXHIBIT A
Statement of Work
TBD
EXHIBIT B
Service Level Terms
The Services shall be available 99.9%, measured monthly, excluding holidays and weekends and scheduled maintenance. If Customer requests maintenance during these hours, any uptime or downtime calculation will exclude periods affected by such maintenance. Further, any downtime resulting from outages of third party connections or utilities or other reasons beyond Company’s control (e.g. pandemic, war, government order, acts of god, natural disasters, labor and/or civil unrest) will also be excluded from any such calculation. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Company’s entire liability, in connection with Service availability shall be that for each period of downtime lasting longer than one hour, Company will credit Customer 5% of Service fees for each period of 30 or more consecutive minutes of downtime; provided that no more than one such credit will accrue per day. Downtime shall begin to accrue as soon as Customer (with notice to Company) recognizes that downtime is taking place, and continues until the availability of the Services is restored. In order to receive downtime credit, Customer must notify Company in writing within 24 hours from the time of downtime, and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit. Such credits may not be redeemed for cash and shall not be cumulative beyond a total of credits for one (1) week of Service Fees in any one (1) calendar month in any event. Company will only apply a credit to the month in which the incident occurred. Company’s blocking of data communications or other Service in accordance with its policies shall not be deemed to be a failure of Company to provide adequate service levels under this Agreement.
