2.2. Use of the Services. During the Term (defined in Section 11.1 below), any User may access the features and functions of the Services that do not require a subscription, and Customer and Customer's Base Member(s) may access and use the features and functions of the Services to which Customer currently subscribes. Customer may: (a) add or restrict access to the Services for Base Member(s); or (b) remove access to the Services from Base Member(s). The Services are not intended for and should not be used by anyone under the age of eighteen (18). Customer shall not invite anyone under the age of eighteen (18) to become a Base Member.

2.3. Revisions of Services. We may revise features and functions of the Services at any time, including without limitation by removing such features and functions or reducing service levels.

2.4. Documentation. User may reproduce and use the Documentation solely as necessary to support its use of the Services.

2.6. Open Source Software. The Services may incorporate third-party Open Source Software (“OSS”), including without limitation OSS as listed here. We are grateful for the contributions of the open source community. Each OSS package is governed by its own license terms.

2.7. Links to Third-Party Websites. Our Website and Services may contain links to third-party websites. When you choose to click on a link to a third-party site, you do so solely at your own risk, and we strongly advise you to read that site’s Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. By providing links to other websites, we do not approve, endorse, or guarantee the information available on these sites.

2.8. Base Trials. We may make available to Users the option to create a Base and access certain features of the Services on a trial basis during a trial period (“Base Trial”). We may discontinue Base Trials or revoke User access to a Base Trial at any time, for any reason, at our sole discretion, and without notice. BASE TRIALS ARE MADE AVAILABLE “AS IS” AND ARE OFFERED WITHOUT SUPPORT, INDEMNITY, OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

2.9. Beta Testing. From time to time, we may invite Users to participate voluntarily in Beta Testing to help us test new features and tools for the Services (each a "Beta Item"). BETA ITEMS BEING BETA TESTED ARE MADE AVAILABLE “AS IS” AND ARE OFFERED WITHOUT SUPPORT, INDEMNITY, OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

3. SUBSCRIPTION PLANS, FEES, & PAYMENT.

3.1. Subscription Plans. We offer plans (“Subscription Plans”) that allow Customer and Customer's Base Members to use the Services for fees (“Subscription Fees”) that are billed on a monthly basis through Customer’s Account, which must be paid in advance. Any change to a Subscription Plan’s Subscription Fees or payment terms will become effective in the next Subscription Term following notice of such change to Customer. (“Subscription Term” means a period of one (1) month.) Each Base to which a Customer subscribes (“Base Subscription”) comes with an allotment for storage. Storage over the designated allotment during a Subscription Term will result in an additional charge, which will be included in the invoice for Customer’s next billing cycle.

3.2. Renewal of Subscription Plan. Customer’s Subscription Plan will automatically renew until cancelled by Customer or unless we terminate Customer's access to the Services in accordance with this Agreement. If Customer decides not to renew a Subscription Plan, Customer must cancel it at least one (1) day before the end of the current Subscription Term by indicating such cancellation in the Billing Portal, which is accessible from Customer’s Account page or from Customer’s Base Settings page.

3.3. Subscription Fees and Payment. Customer shall pay the Subscription Fees for each Subscription Term. We will not be required to refund Subscription Fees under any circumstances. If Customer adds Base Members to a Subscription Plan and/or upgrades a Subscription Plan during the current Subscription Term, the resulting fees for the current Subscription Term will be prorated. Stripe is currently our third-party service provider for payment services. Payments are processed by Stripe in accordance with their Terms and Privacy Policy.

3.4. Late Payments. For late payment, Customer shall pay interest charges from the time the payment was due at the rate that is the lower of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permissible under applicable law.

3.5. Taxes. Amounts due under this Agreement are payable to us without deduction for any tax, tariff, duty, or assessment imposed by any government authority (national, state, provincial, or local), including without limitation any sales, use, excise, ad valorem, property, withholding, or value-added tax, whether or not withheld at the source (collectively, “Sales Tax”). Except as forbidden by applicable law, we may require that Customer submit applicable Sales Taxes to us. However, the preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that Customer is tax exempt, provided it gives us a valid tax exemption certificate within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date. Our failure to include any applicable tax in an invoice will not waive or dismiss our rights or obligations pursuant to this Section 3.5. If applicable law requires withholding or deduction of Sales Taxes or any other tax or duty, Customer shall separately pay us the withheld or deducted amount, over and above fees due. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.5 does not govern taxes based on our net income.

4. USER CONTENT & PRIVACY.

4.1. User Content Ownership. We recognize and agree that Base Owner (or its licensors, as applicable) owns and retains all right, title, and interest in and to User Content in its Base.

4.4. Limited Use of User Content. We shall not: (a) access, process, or otherwise use User Content other than as necessary to provide and facilitate the Services; or (b) give any third party access to User Content with the exception of our Third-Party Service Providers or subcontractors that have a need for such access to help us provide and facilitate the Services. We shall exercise reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized disclosure or exposure of User Content.

4.8. Export. During a Base Trial, Base Owner may download Base Data and files. While Base Subscription is active, Customer may: (a) download Base Data and files; and (b) grant its Base Members the ability to download Base Data and files. Following the conclusion of a Base Trial or the cancellation of a Base Subscription, Base Owner may download Base Data for a period of no less than sixty (60) days. (“Base Data,” a type of User Content, means data submitted to and stored through the Services by Base Owner or Customer’s Base Members.)

4.9. Removal. We reserve the right to refuse or remove any User Content from the Services at any time, for any reason, at our sole discretion, and without notice.

4.10. Deletion of Base and User Content. During a Base Trial or Base Subscription Term, Base Owner may delete User Content in its Base. During or following the conclusion of a Base Trial, Base Owner may delete the Base and all User Content therein. During a Subscription Term, Customer may grant its Base Members the ability to delete User Content. Following the cancellation of a Base Subscription, Base Owner may delete the Base and all User Content therein.

If Customer’s Account is delinquent, suspended, or terminated for thirty (30) days or more, we may permanently erase its Base along with all User Content therein without limiting our other rights or remedies. Once a Base has been permanently deleted, it cannot be recovered or restored.

4.11. Privacy Policy. User acknowledges our Privacy Policy, and User recognizes and agrees that nothing in this Agreement restricts our right to alter such Privacy Policy.

4.12. Additional Fees. User recognizes and agrees that we may charge additional fees (without limitation) (a) for activities (if any) required by Privacy/Security Laws and (b) for activities User requests to help it comply with Privacy/Security Laws.

4.13. De-Identified Data. Notwithstanding the provisions above of this Article 4, we may use, reproduce, sell, publicize, or otherwise exploit De-Identified Data (as defined below) in any way, at our sole discretion, including without limitation aggregated with data from other Users. (“De-Identified Data” refers to data with the following removed: information that identifies or could reasonably be used to identify an individual person, a household, or User.)

4.14. Required Disclosure. Notwithstanding the provisions above of this Article 4, we may disclose User Content as required by applicable law or by proper legal or governmental authority. We shall give Base Owner reasonable notice of any such legal or governmental demand. We may in our sole discretion reasonably cooperate with Base Owner in any effort to seek a protective order or otherwise to contest such required disclosure, at Base Owner’s expense.

User shall take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access to the Services, including without limitation by creating a strong, secure Account password and protecting its password and other login information.

Customer shall take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access to the Services via API, including without limitation by protecting security of its Base API Key. Customer or Customer’s Base Members shall notify us immediately of any known or suspected unauthorized use of the API or breach of security and shall use best efforts to stop said breach. A new API Key can be generated in the Base’s Settings page. Excessive requests to the Services via the API or abuse of the API may result in temporary or permanent suspension of API access, at any time, at our sole discretion, and without notice.

6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IP) & FEEDBACK.

6.1. IP Rights to the Services. Objects and Order (or our licensors, as applicable) retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, including without limitation all software and code used to provide the Services, and all graphics, user interfaces, logos, and trademarks reproduced through the Services.

User recognizes that the Services and its components are protected by copyright and other laws.

6.2. Feedback. We have not agreed to and do not agree to treat as confidential any Feedback (as defined below) that Users give us, and nothing in this Agreement or in the parties’ dealings arising out of or related to this Agreement will restrict our right to use, profit from, disclose, publish, keep secret, or otherwise exploit Feedback without compensating or crediting User. Feedback will not be considered User’s trade secret. (“Feedback” refers to any suggestion or idea for improving or otherwise modifying any of our products or services.)

7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

“Confidential Information” refers to the following items we disclose to User: (a) any document we mark “Confidential”; (b) any information we orally designate as “Confidential” at the time of disclosure, provided we confirm such designation in writing within three (3) business days; and (c) any other nonpublic, sensitive information User should reasonably consider a trade secret or otherwise confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is in User’s possession at the time of disclosure; (ii) is independently developed by User without use of or reference to Confidential Information; (iii) becomes known publicly, before or after disclosure, other than as a result of User’s improper action or inaction; or (iv) is approved by us in writing for release by User.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, User shall protect Confidential Information with the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of similar nature and importance, but with no less than reasonable care. User shall promptly notify us of any misuse or misappropriation of Confidential Information that comes to User’s attention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, User may disclose Confidential Information as required by applicable law or by proper legal or governmental authority. User shall give us prompt notice of any such legal or governmental demand and reasonably cooperate with us in any effort to seek a protective order or otherwise to contest such required disclosure, at our expense.

7.3. Injunction. In the event that we determine a breach of this Article 7 has likely occurred, User agrees that: (a) no adequate remedy exists at law; (b) it would be difficult to determine the damages resulting from its breach of this Article 7, and such breach would cause irreparable harm to us; and (c) a grant of injunctive relief provides the best remedy for any such breach, without any requirement that we prove actual damage or post a bond or other security. User waives any opposition to such injunctive relief or any right to such proof, bond, or other security. (This Section 7.3 does not limit either party’s right to injunctive relief for breaches not listed.)

(b) Use of Trade Secret Information in Anti-Retaliation Lawsuit. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

9. INDEMNIFICATION.

User shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Objects and Order and our Associates (as defined below) against any “Indemnified Claim,” meaning any third-party claim, suit, or proceeding arising out of or related to User's alleged or actual use of, misuse of, or failure to use the Services, including without limitation: (a) claims by Base Members or by User’s employees, as well as by User’s own customers or users; (b) claims related to Data Incidents (as defined below); (c) claims related to infringement or violation of a copyright, trademark, trade secret, or privacy or confidentiality right by written material, images, videos, audio files, logos or other content uploaded to the Services through User’s Account, including without limitation by User Content; and (d) claims that use of the Services through User’s Account, including by other Users, harasses, defames, or defrauds a third party or violates the CAN-Spam Act of 2003 or any other law or restriction on electronic advertising.

User’s obligations set forth in this Article 9 include, without limitation: (i) settlement at User’s expense and payment of judgments finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction, as well as payment of court costs and other reasonable expenses; and (ii) reimbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred before User’s assumption of the defense (but not attorneys’ fees incurred thereafter). If User fails to assume the defense on time to avoid prejudicing the defense, we may defend the Indemnified Claim, without loss of rights pursuant to this Article 9. We will have the right, not to be exercised unreasonably, to reject any settlement or compromise that requires that we or our Associates admit wrongdoing or liability or subjects either of them to any ongoing affirmative obligation. (Our “Associates” are our officers, directors, shareholders, parents, subsidiaries, agents, successors, and assigns. A “Data Incident” is any (1) unauthorized disclosure of, access to, or use of Customer Content, including without limitation Excluded Data, or (2) violation of Privacy/Security Law through User’s Account.

12.7. No Waiver.
