Prior to any deployment of the Services by Customer, Customer shall provide Company with (i) reasonable documentation of its systems, accounts, brand materials, products, services and business information needed for the Deliverables; (ii) where an Order Form provides for installation or deployment within the Customer Environment, Customer shall be responsible for performing such installation and deployment using installation scripts and documentation provided by Company; and (iii) any other information reasonably requested by Company in good faith that may be reasonably necessary for the deployment of the Services.

Customer shall be solely responsible for (i) obtaining, operating, and maintaining, at Customer's expense, the Customer Environment, and any infrastructure necessary for Customer's installation, deployment and use of the Services, including but not limited to telecommunications, computer and server hardware, storage, cooling, power, operating systems, mobile devices, software, services, Internet connectivity, phone numbers and messaging accounts, in each case in accordance with Company's documentation (the "System Requirements"). Customer shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the Customer Environment meets the System Requirements. In the event that Company assists or advises Customer with any Services setup, configuration or support, in no event shall such assistance or advice be construed as legal or other professional advice.
3.3 Audit. Company may, upon at least ten (10) business days' written notice, audit the Customer Environment and Customer's use of the Services if it has a reasonable basis to suspect Customer's non-compliance with the terms of this Agreement (an "Audit"). Audits will occur during normal business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably disrupt Customer's operations. During an Audit, Customer will cooperate in good faith with Company and provide access to the Customer Environment, records and personnel as reasonably required to complete the Audit. If Company identifies any material non-compliance with this Agreement, including unauthorized access to, distribution of, or use of Company's Services, Customer will promptly remedy the issue and pay any fees corresponding to Customer's noncompliant use of the Services. Customer acknowledges that any violation of this Section 3.3 may cause Company irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be inadequate compensation. In the event of a violation of any of this Section 3.3, Company shall be entitled to seek all available legal and equitable remedies, including injunctive relief, without the requirement of posting a bond.
3.4 Authorized Users Access to Services. Customer may permit any Authorized Users to access and use the features and functions of the Services as contemplated by this Agreement.

SOME STATES AND JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. THIS SECTION WILL APPLY SOLELY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS.
7.2 Amount of Damages. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO EXCLUDED LIABILITY, THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER TO COMPANY DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE ACT, OMISSION OR OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.
7.3 Basis of the Bargain. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE AND CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT DESPITE ANY FAILURE OF CONSIDERATION OR OF AN EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PRICES HAVE BEEN SET AND THE AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO IN RELIANCE UPON THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND THAT ALL SUCH LIMITATIONS FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
8. CONFIDENTIALITY
8.1 Confidential Information. During the term of this Agreement, each party (the "Disclosing Party") may provide the other party (the "Receiving Party") with certain information regarding the Disclosing Party's business, technology, products, or services or other confidential or proprietary information (collectively, "Confidential Information"). The Disclosing Party will mark all Confidential Information in tangible form as "confidential" or "proprietary" or with a similar legend, and identify all Confidential Information disclosed orally as confidential at the time of disclosure and provide a written summary of such Confidential Information within thirty (30) days after such oral disclosure. Regardless of whether so marked or identified, the Platform, Documentation, Generic Tools, Integration Tools, pricing, and all enhancements and improvements thereto will be considered Confidential Information of Company, and Customer's non-public business information, customer lists and non-public Customer Data will be considered Confidential Information of Customer.
8.2 Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party agrees that it will not use or disclose to any third party any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except as expressly permitted under this Agreement. The Receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information to Authorized Users (with respect to Customer) or other employees or subcontractors who have a need to know, who have confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth herein, and who have been informed of the confidential nature of such information (with respect to Company). In addition, the Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that it protects its own proprietary information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than reasonable care. At the Disclosing Party's request or upon termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party will return to the Disclosing Party or destroy (or permanently erase in the case of electronic files) all copies of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party does not have a continuing right to use under this Agreement, and the Receiving Party shall provide to the Disclosing Party a written affidavit certifying compliance with this sentence.
8.3 Exceptions. The confidentiality obligations set forth in this section will not apply to any information that (a) becomes generally available to the public through no fault of the Receiving Party; (b) is lawfully provided to the Receiving Party by a third party free of any confidentiality duties or obligations; (c) was already known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure; or (d) the Receiving Party can prove, by clear and convincing evidence, was independently developed by employees and contractors of the Receiving Party who had no access to the Confidential Information. In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is necessary for the Receiving Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement or is required by law or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body, provided that the Receiving Party promptly notifies the Disclosing Party in writing of such required disclosure and cooperates with the Disclosing Party if the Disclosing Party seeks an appropriate protective order.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 By Company. Company will indemnify and hold harmless, at its own expense, Customer from and against any and all threatened third-party claim, proceeding, or suit (each, a "Claim"), and pay all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and other expenses (including attorneys' and expert witnesses' costs and fees), arising out of or relating to an allegation that the Platform, when used by Customer as authorized herein, infringes or misappropriates a third party's patents, copyrights or trade secret rights under applicable Laws of any jurisdiction within the United States of America. If any portion of the Platform becomes, or in Company's opinion is likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement, Company may, at Company's option: (a) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Platform; (b) replace the infringing Platform (or infringing component) with non-infringing software or services which do not materially impair the functionality of the Platform; (c) modify the Platform so that it becomes non-infringing; or (d) terminate this Agreement and refund any unused prepaid fees for the remainder of the term then in effect, and upon such termination, Customer will immediately cease all use of the Platform and other Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company will have no obligation under this section or otherwise with respect to any infringement claim based upon (i) any use of the Platform not in accordance with this Agreement or as specified in the Documentation; (ii) any use of the Platform in combination with other products, equipment, software or data not supplied by Company; (iii) any Customer Data, Inputs or Outputs; or (iv) any modification of the Platform by any person other than Company or its authorized agents. This section states the sole and exclusive remedy of Customer and the entire liability of Company, or any of the officers, directors, members, managers, employees, shareholders, contractors or representatives of the foregoing, for infringement claims and actions.
9.2 By Customer. Customer will indemnify and hold harmless, at its own expense, Company and its affiliates, members, managers, employees, directors, and agents from and against any and all Claims, and pay all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and other expenses (including attorneys' and expert witnesses' costs and fees) arising out of or relating to (a) Customer's breach or alleged breach of Sections 3.1 and/or 6.4; (b) any agreement between Customer and the provider of a Connected Account or Third-Party Service, or any claim by a provider of a Connected Account relating to Customer's use of the Services through that Connected Account; (c) Customer's use of the Outputs; (d) the Customer Data, or the products, services, prices, offers and content that Customer markets or sells through any Deliverable; or (e) any claim by Customer's own customers or end users arising from their interaction with a Deliverable, except to the extent caused by Company's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
9.3 Procedure. The indemnifying party's obligations as set forth above are expressly conditioned upon each of the foregoing: (a) the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of any threatened or actual claim or suit; (b) the indemnifying party shall have sole control of the defense or settlement of any claim or suit; and (c) the indemnified party shall cooperate with the indemnifying party to facilitate the settlement or defense of any claim or suit. The indemnified party shall not agree to settle any such claim without the indemnifying party's express prior written consent. The indemnified party may participate in the defense of the Claim at its own expense and with counsel of its own choosing, but the indemnifying party will have sole control over the defense of the Claim.
10. TERM AND TERMINATION
10.1 Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue in full force and effect, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Agreement. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Order Form, the Order Term will continue in full force and effect for one (1) year ("Initial Order Term"), unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Agreement. Thereafter, the Order Form will automatically renew for additional terms of the same length as the Initial Order Term (each, a "Renewal Order Term"), unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal to the other party no later than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Initial Order Term or Renewal Order Term; provided that, for any Order Term of less than one (1) year (for example, a monthly hosting, maintenance or subscription plan), notice of non-renewal must be given no later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Order Term. One-time project Services (such as the initial design and build of a website, online store or chatbot) are complete upon delivery and are not subject to renewal, but any associated hosting, maintenance or subscription Services renew as described above.
10.2 Termination if No Outstanding Orders. If there are no outstanding Order Forms, either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the other. Neither party may terminate an Order once it has been accepted, other than by mutual consent, in accordance with the Gigatic Fulfillment Policy, or termination of this Agreement for material breach as set forth below.
10.3 Termination for Breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement or any Order immediately upon notice to the other party if the other party materially breaches this Agreement or the applicable Order, and such breach remains uncured more than thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such breach.
10.4 Effect of Termination. Expiration or termination of this Agreement will automatically terminate all active Orders, but termination of a single Order will not result in termination of this Agreement or any other Orders. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement or an Order all rights and licenses granted by Company to Customer under this Agreement or the applicable Order will terminate, and Company may take offline any hosted website, online store, chatbot or other Deliverable covered by the terminated Order. Either party's termination of this Agreement is without prejudice to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, and does not relieve either party of breaches occurring prior to the effective date of termination. Neither party will be liable to the other for damages arising solely as a result of terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
10.5 Post-Termination Obligations. Unless Customer terminates this Agreement for material breach, if this Agreement expires or is terminated: (1) Company will not refund Customer any Fees paid in advance of such expiration or termination, including pre-paid Fees, except as expressly provided in the Gigatic Fulfillment Policy; and (2) within ten (10) days after such expiration or termination, Customer shall pay Company all remaining Fees set forth under any terminated Order Forms so that Company is paid the full amount agreed to at the commencement of such Order Term (as if the Order Term had run its full course). Within thirty (30) days of the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Customer shall (i) cease all use of the applicable Services, (ii) permanently delete any component of the Platform installed in the Customer Environment and any other applicable Services using secure deletion methods in accordance with industry practices (subject to any legally required data retention obligations of which Company is notified in writing and provided that the Platform continues to remain subject to confidentiality obligations under the Agreement, as applicable, or for any ongoing legal proceedings), and (iii) where requested by Company, provide written certification of such deletion to Company signed by an appropriately qualified officer of the Customer. Company will retain Customer Data hosted by Company for thirty (30) days after termination or expiration to allow Customer to request an export under Section 4.2, after which Company may delete it. The sections and subsections titled Definitions, Customer Restrictions and Responsibilities, Ownership and Data Rights and Responsibilities, Fees and Expenses; Payments (as to amounts accrued), Warranties and Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Confidentiality, Indemnification, Effect of Termination, Post-Termination Obligations and Miscellaneous will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.
11. MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement. Subject to Section 11.2, the state and federal courts located in Laramie County, Wyoming shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any dispute, claim or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement that is not subject to arbitration, including any proceeding to confirm, enforce or vacate an arbitration award and any action for injunctive or other equitable relief, and each party irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, such courts and waives any objection based on inconvenient forum.
11.2 Dispute Resolution. For any dispute between Customer and Company, Customer agrees to first contact Company at [email protected] and to attempt to resolve the claim with Company informally. In the unlikely event that Company has not been able to resolve a claim it has with Customer within sixty (60) days, the parties each agree to resolve such claim exclusively through binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") before a single arbitrator (the "Arbitrator"), under the Expedited Procedures then in effect for AAA (the "Rules"), except as otherwise provided herein, or as otherwise determined by the Arbitrator (this Section 11.2, the "Arbitration Agreement"). In the event of any conflict between the Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, this Arbitration Agreement will control. AAA may be contacted at www.adr.org, where the Rules are also available. The arbitration will be conducted in Laramie County, Wyoming, unless the parties agree otherwise; the Arbitrator may permit the parties and witnesses to participate by video conference. Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing and administrative and Arbitrator fees in accordance with the Rules, and the award rendered by the Arbitrator will include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees, and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, including the state and federal courts located in Laramie County, Wyoming. The parties agree that the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the scope, interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable, or relating to any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, unconscionability, or estoppel. The Arbitrator will also be responsible for determining all Company arbitrability issues, including issues relating to contract formation and whether the Agreement, or any provision of the Agreement, are unconscionable or illusory. The arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis only; class, collective and representative proceedings are not permitted.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement will be construed to prevent Company from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts described in Section 11.1 as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of its data security, Intellectual Property Rights, or other proprietary rights, or from pursuing collection of unpaid Fees in such courts; or as preventing Customer from asserting claims in a small claims court, provided that Customer's claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances on only an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
11.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or a portion of a provision is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the rest of this Agreement will remain enforceable.
11.4 Waiver. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
11.5 Remedies. Except as provided in the subsection and section titled Indemnification, the parties' rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative. Customer acknowledges that the Services, Platform, Integration Tools, Generic Tools and Documentation contain valuable trade secrets and proprietary information of Company, that any actual or threatened breach of the sections titled Ownership and Data Rights and Responsibilities or Confidentiality or any other breach by Customer of its obligations with respect to Intellectual Property Rights of Company will constitute immediate, irreparable harm to Company for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy. In such case, Company will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief or other equitable relief without the requirement of posting bond, including an order that any Platform, Documentation, Integration Tools, or any portions thereof, that Customer attempts to import into any country or territory be seized, impounded and destroyed by customs officials. If any legal action is brought to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to receive its attorneys' fees, court costs, and other collection expenses, in addition to any other relief it may receive.
11.6 No Assignment. Customer shall not assign, subcontract, delegate, or otherwise transfer this Agreement, or its rights and obligations herein, without obtaining the prior written consent of Company, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void; provided, however, that either party may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or other operation of law, without any consent of the other party. Company may use subcontractors and Third-Party Services in performing the Services, and remains responsible for its subcontractors' performance of Company's obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of each party's permitted successors and assigns.
11.7 Publicity. Company may publicly list Customer as a customer of Company and, subject to Customer's brand guidelines, use Customer's trademark, trade name, and logo solely for marketing or promotional purposes, including displaying the Deliverables in Company's portfolio and including a discreet "Built by Gigatic" or similar attribution on websites and online stores hosted by Company, unless the Order Form provides otherwise or Customer opts out by written notice to [email protected].
11.8 Force Majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party (except the payment of money owed) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood, pandemic, epidemic, quarantine, outage or change of policy of a Third-Party Service or Connected Account provider, Internet or telecommunications failure, governmental action, or any other event beyond the control of such party, provided that such party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the other party of the cause of such delay and to resume performance as soon as possible.
11.9 Relationship of the Parties. Customer's relationship to Company is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. Customer will not have, and will not represent to any third party that it has, any authority to act on behalf of Company.
11.10 Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement must be delivered in writing, if to Company, by emailing [email protected], and if to Customer, by emailing the e-mail address set forth on the Order Form (or, if none, the e-mail address from which Customer accepted the Order Form or paid the invoice), provided, however, that with respect to any notices relating to breaches of this Agreement or termination, the notice must bear the subject line "Legal Notice" and, if to Customer, a copy of such notice will also be sent in writing to the postal address listed on the Order Form (if any) by courier, by certified or registered mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested), or by a nationally-recognized express mail service. Notices sent by email are deemed received on the business day after they are sent. Each party may change its email address and/or address for receipt of notice by giving notice of such change to the other party. Day-to-day operational communications (including by WhatsApp or other messaging channels) are not notices under this Section unless they are confirmed by email as provided above.
11.11 Precedence. To the extent that a conflict arises between the terms and conditions of an Order Form and the terms of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will govern, except to the extent that the Order Form expressly states that it supersedes specific language in the Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Gigatic Terms of Service, Privacy Policy or Fulfillment Policy, this Agreement governs with respect to the Services, except that the Fulfillment Policy governs refunds and cancellations and the DPA governs Personal Data as provided in Section 2.5.
11.12 Electronic Acceptance; Counterparts. This Agreement and each Order Form may be accepted electronically, including by clicking a button, checking a box, replying to an e-mail or message, paying a deposit or invoice, or signing by electronic signature, and may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. An accepted or signed copy of this Agreement or an Order Form delivered by email, or other means of electronic transmission, shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy. The parties agree that electronic records of acceptance maintained by Company constitute sufficient evidence of Customer's acceptance of this Agreement and the applicable Order Form.
11.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the DPA, Order Form(s), the Fulfillment Policy and any Supplemental Customer Terms) is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matters hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matters. No usage of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing between the parties will be used to modify, interpret, supplement, or alter the terms of the Agreement. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, or any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and accepted by an authorized representative of each of Customer and Company; provided that Company may publish updated versions of this Agreement from time to time, and each updated version will apply to Order Forms accepted on or after its publication date and, for existing Order Forms, upon the next Renewal Order Term following at least thirty (30) days' notice to Customer.
12. ACCEPTANCE

Customer accepts and agrees to be bound by this Agreement, and this Agreement becomes effective as of the Effective Date, when Customer signs or electronically accepts an Order Form that references this Agreement, pays a deposit or invoice for Services described in a quote, invoice or checkout page that references this Agreement, or otherwise accepts a quote that references this Agreement, as described in the section titled "How this Agreement is accepted."
