Fees for additional Services or modifications to the Entitlements shall be invoiced upon Mobile Commons’ receipt of Customer’s request for such purchase. Subject to Section 4.2 (Modifications to Entitlements), where modifications to Entitlements to Subscription Services are purchased by Customer during an active Subscription Term, such fees shall be pro-rated for the remainder of such Subscription Term. Customer may provide Mobile Commons with a purchase order number or contract control number (“Order Number”) for invoicing for Services purchased under the Agreement. Where Customer provides such Order Number, Mobile Commons agrees that it will provide the Order Number on each invoice and that no invoice will be considered validly submitted under this Agreement without such Order Number. Whenever a purchase order is issued by Customer as provided herein, the parties agree that any such issuance is for convenience of the Customer and the terms and conditions of any such purchase orders, if any, are superseded by this MSA.
4.4. Disputed Invoices. If Customer reasonably and in good faith disputes all or any portion of any invoice, Customer shall notify Mobile Commons in writing of its objection within twenty (20) days from the date of the applicable invoice, providing a detailed description of the reasons for the objection, and shall pay the portion of the invoice, if any, which is not in dispute. If Customer does not object in a timely manner, the amount invoiced shall be conclusively deemed correct by the parties.
4.5. Late Payments. Mobile Commons shall notify Customer in writing, which may be by email, of any undisputed invoice which is thirty (30) or more days past due. In the event Customer has not promptly cured such default, then Mobile Commons may, on not less than five (5) business days’ prior written notice to Customer, in its sole discretion, and without prejudice to its other rights following material breach and failure to cure, until such breach has been cured in full, suspend performance of some or all of Mobile Commons’ obligations to provide Services under the Agreement. In the event of Customer’s default in the payment of any undisputed invoice(s) for a period in excess of sixty (60) days past due, Mobile Commons may, upon not less than ten (10) business days’ prior written notice to Customer, declare the entire principal sum payable under the Agreement immediately due and payable. Further, Customer shall reimburse any costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, collection agency fees, reasonable legal fees and court costs) incurred by Mobile Commons to collect any undisputed amount past due. Amounts due to either party under the Agreement may not be withheld or offset by either party for any reason.
4.6. Taxes. Customer shall be responsible for any applicable sales, value-added, use and similar taxes, together with all
customs and import duties, and similar levies and impositions (“Taxes”) payable with respect to its acquisition of Services, or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the Agreement, other than taxes based upon Mobile Commons’ personal property ownership or net income. Unless expressly specified otherwise in any Sales Order, all fees, rates and estimates exclude Taxes. If Customer has tax-exempt status, Customer shall provide written evidence of such status with its Sales Order(s) or upon request by Mobile Commons.

5.1. Agreement Term. This MSA shall commence upon the Effective Date and continue until each Sales Order has expired or is otherwise terminated in accordance with the Agreement (the “Agreement Term”).

5.3. Termination for Breach. In the event of a material breach of the Agreement by either party, the non-breaching party may elect to terminate the Agreement, any Sales Order (or portion thereof) affected by the breach by giving the breaching party written notice of the breach and the non-breaching party’s intention to terminate. If the breach has not been cured within the period ending thirty (30) days after such notice, and if the non-breaching party provides written notice of termination to the breaching party (“Termination Notice”), then the Agreement, or any such Sales Order, shall terminate within the time period specified in the Termination Notice. If Customer terminates the Agreement or any Sales Order for breach in accordance with this Section 5.3, then Mobile Commons shall refund to Customer a pro-rata amount of any affected Subscription Services fees prepaid to Mobile Commons and applicable to the unutilized portion of the Agreement Term for the terminated Agreement, and any affected unutilized Professional Services fees prepaid to Mobile Commons. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer’s failure to pay any overdue, undisputed fees within thirty (30) days of Mobile Commons notifying Customer of the overdue payment shall constitute a material breach of the Agreement.

The parties acknowledge and agree that Subscription Services are priced based on upon minimum commitments throughout the applicable Subscription Term and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, may not be terminated for the convenience of either party.
5.5. Suspension for Critical Threats. If Mobile Commons, acting reasonably in the circumstances then known to Mobile Commons, determines that Customer’s or any of its Users’ use of the Services poses an imminent threat to:

Mobile Commons shall cooperate with Customer to promptly restore access to the Services once it verifies that Customer has resolved the condition giving rise to the suspension.
5.6. Transition Assistance. Following the termination or expiration of a Sales Order, provided Customer makes a written
request within fourteen (14) days prior to the date of termination or expiration, subject to the then-current Professional Services 4 fees on a time and materials basis, Mobile Commons shall offer transition assistance (which may include, to the extent practicable, an export of Customer Data from the applicable Application or Instance).

Customer shall not (a) copy, rent, sell, disassemble, reverse engineer or decompile (except to the limited extent expressly authorised by applicable statutory law), modify or alter any part of the API, or (b) otherwise use the API on behalf of any third party.

officers, agents and employees, against any costs, expenses, damages finally awarded and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any claim, demand, suit, or proceeding made or brought by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) against Customer alleging that the use of any Application or Service as permitted in the Agreement infringes or misappropriates the Intellectual Property Rights of a third party.
9.2. Exclusions from Obligations. Mobile Commons shall have no obligation under Section 9.1 (Indemnification by Mobile Commons) for any infringement or misappropriation to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon:
(a) use of an Application or Service in combination with other products or services not provided by, or authorized in writing by, Mobile Commons if such infringement or misappropriation would not have arisen but for such combination;
(b) use of an Application or Service by Customer in violation of the terms of the Agreement;
(c) Customer’s failure to use an Application or Service in accordance with the Documentation (or other written instructions) provided by Mobile Commons, if the infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred but for such failure; or
(d) any modification of an Application or Service not made by or authorized in writing by, Mobile Commons where such
infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred absent such modification.
9.3. Mitigation of Infringement Action. If Customer’s use of any Application or Service is, or in Mobile Commons’ reasonable
opinion is likely to become, enjoined or materially diminished as a result of a proceeding arising under Section 9.1 (Infringement
Indemnification) then Mobile Commons shall either:
(a) procure the continuing right of Customer to use the Application or Service;
(b) replace or modify the Application or Service in a functionally equivalent manner so that it no longer infringes; or if, despite its commercially reasonable efforts, Mobile Commons is unable to do either (a) or (b), Mobile Commons shall
(c) terminate theAgreement and refund to Customer the pro-rata amount of any fees prepaid to Mobile Commons which are applicable to the unutilized or undelivered portions of the Subscription Services and/or Professional Services.
9.4. Limited Remedy. This Section 9 states Mobile Commons’ sole and exclusive liability, and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, for Mobile Commons’ actual or alleged breach of Section 8.3.1 (Non-Infringement), and any other actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation of third-party Intellectual Property Rights by any Application or Service.
9.5. Indemnification by Customer. Customer shall defend save and hold harmless Mobile Commons against any Third-Party
Claim made or brought against Mobile Commons by a third party alleging that Customer Data or Customer’s use of the Services in violation of this MSA, infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of a third party or violates applicable law, and shall indemnify Mobile Commons for any damages finally awarded against, and for reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by, Mobile Commons in connection with any such Third-Party Claim.
9.6. Relief from Obligations. An indemnifying party’s obligations arising under this Section 9 are expressly conditioned upon the indemnified party:
(a) promptly gives the indemnifying party written notice of the Third-Party Claim;
(b) providing the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement of the Third-Party Claim (provided that indemnifying party may not settle any Third-Party Claim unless the settlement unconditionally releases the indemnified party of all liability); and
(c) provides to indemnifying party all reasonable assistance, at indemnifying party’s expense. Further, an indemnifying party shall be relieved of its responsibilities under this Section 9 for any Third-Party Claims arising solely from the actions or omissions of indemnified party, its officers, employees or agents.
9.7. Classification of Amounts. Any amounts payable by an indemnified party to a third party pursuant to a judgment, liability for which falls within the indemnifying party’s indemnification obligations under the Agreement, shall be deemed direct damages.
9.8. Contributory Negligence. If the joint, concurring, comparative or contributory fault, negligence or willful misconduct of the parties gives rise to damages for which either party is entitled to indemnification under this MSA, then such damages shall be allocated between the parties in proportion to their respective degrees of fault, negligence or willful misconduct contributing to such damages and such indemnification shall be adjusted accordingly.
10. LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY
10.1. Exclusion of Certain Claims. SUBJECT TO SECTION 10.3, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE
OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF

13. GENERAL
13.1. Relationship. Mobile Commons shall be and act as an independent contractor (and not as the agent or representative of Customer) in the performance of its obligations under the Agreement.
13.2. Affiliates. This MSA sets forth the general terms and conditions under which Mobile Commons will provide Services to Customer and its Affiliates. Sales Orders may be entered into under this MSA by Mobile Commons or any Mobile Commons Affiliate, and by either the entity designated above as “Customer” or any of Customer’s Affiliates. In such event, the entity executing a Sales Order in the position of the Services provider shall be considered “Mobile Commons” and the Services recipient shall be considered “Customer” for all purposes of the resulting Agreement; and such Agreement shall be considered a two-party agreement between “Mobile Commons” and such “Customer”.
13.3. Compliance with Laws. Each party shall comply with all laws and regulations applicable to it, including export control laws
and embargoes. Neither party shall have any liability to the other for any non-performance of their obligations under the Agreement to the extent that the non-performance is mandated by applicable law. Each party represents and warrants to the other that neither it nor its Affiliates, nor any of its or their users, officers or directors, are persons, entities or organizations with whom the other party is prohibited from dealing (including provision of software, products or services) by virtue of any applicable law, regulation, or executive order.
13.4. U.S. Government Rights. To the extent applicable, Mobile Commons provides the Services for ultimate federal government end use solely in accordance with the following: Government technical data and software rights related to the Services include only those rights customarily provided to the public as defined in the Agreement.

13.5. Equitable Relief. Each of Customer and Mobile Commons acknowledges that damages may be an inadequate remedy if the other violates the terms of the Agreement pertaining to protection of a party’s Intellectual Property Rights, Confidential Information or Personal Data. Accordingly, each of them shall have the right, in addition to any other rights each of them may have, to seek in any court of competent jurisdiction, temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to restrain any breach, threatened breach, or otherwise to specifically enforce any of the obligations in the Agreement.
13.6. Assignability. Neither party may assign performance of the Agreement or any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under the Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however that either party may assign its rights and obligations under the Agreement to any of its Affiliates, or to any entity into or with which it is merged, or that acquires all or substantially all of its assets, upon notice to the other party. Subject to the foregoing restriction on assignment, the Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Each party shall, at its own cost and expense, procure and maintain in full force and effect during the Agreement Term, policies of insurance, of the types and in the minimum amounts reasonably necessary and appropriate in its industry to perform its respective obligations under the Agreement, with responsible insurance carriers duly qualified in those states (locations) where the Services are to be performed or used. Upon a party’s request, the other party shall provide its certificate of insurance.

Mobile Commons notice address:
ATTN: General Counsel
32 Court St Ste 904
Brooklyn, NY, 11201
legal@mobilecommons.com
To inform Customer of changes to the Services, or for other matters of importance (e.g., notifications regarding upcoming scheduled maintenance), Mobile Commons may broadcast messages through the Application or post messages on Mobile Commons’ web site. In each such event, Mobile Commons shall inform Customer of the broadcast by e-mail.
13.9. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. During any Subscription Term, Mobile Commons shall comply with its then
current applicable Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans. Mobile Commons shall test such plans at least once a year. Mobile Commons shall provide Customer with summaries of such plans and test results upon written request. Mobile Commons may not modify such plans to provide materially less protection to Customer without Customer’s prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably conditioned or withheld.
13.10. Force Majeure. If the performance of the Agreement is adversely restricted or if either party is unable to conform to any
warranty or obligation by reason of any Force Majeure Event then, except with respect to obligations to pay any fees or expenses and to obligations under Section 13.9 above (Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery), the party affected, upon giving prompt written notice to the other party, shall be excused from such performance on a day-to-day basis to the extent of such restriction (and the other party shall likewise be excused from performance of its obligations on a day-to-day basis to the extent such party’s obligations relate to the performance so restricted); provided, however, that the party so affected shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance and both parties shall proceed whenever such causes are removed or cease. “Force Majeure Event” means any failure or delay caused by or the result of causes beyond the reasonable control of a party or its service providers that could not have been avoided or corrected through the exercise of reasonable diligence, including natural catastrophe, internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of the party’s or its applicable infrastructure provider’s facilities, state-sponsored malware or state-sponsored cyber-attacks, terrorist actions, laws, orders, regulations, directions or actions of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof, or any civil or military authority, national emergency, insurrection, riot or war, or other similar occurrence. If a party fails to perform its obligations as a result of such restriction for a period of more than thirty (30) days, then the other party may terminate the affected Services without liability.
13.11. Waiver. The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of the Agreement does not waive any other breach. The failure of any party to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with the Agreement shall not be a waiver of such party’s right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor shall the same be construed as a novation of the Agreement.
13.12. Severability. Should any term and condition of the Agreement be declared illegal or otherwise unenforceable, it shall be severed from the remainder of this MSA, or the relevant portion of the Agreement, without affecting the legality or enforceability of the remaining portions of the Agreement.
13.13. Counterparts. Each portion of the Agreement (e.g., this MSA and each Sales Order) may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. For purposes of executing the Agreement, a facsimile copy or a “.pdf” image delivered via email of an executed copy of any such portion of the Agreement signed by an authorized signatory (manuscript signature or using electronic signature) shall be deemed an original.
13.14. Entire Agreement. This MSA, together with the Sales Order, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto regarding Customer’s use of each Application and receipt of all Services and supersedes and replaces all prior agreements, representations, warranties, statements, promises, information, arrangements and understandings, whether oral or written, express or implied, with respect to the provision and use of the Services. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this MSA and any Sales Order, the terms and conditions of this MSA shall prevail except to the extent the conflict
pertains to product or service description (e.g., type, quantity, usage volume) or pricing information, in which case the terms of the Sales Order shall prevail. No usage of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing between the parties shall be used to modify, interpret, supplement, or alter the terms of the Agreement. The Agreement may be changed only by a written agreement signed by an authorized signatory of the party against whom enforcement is sought; any additional, supplementary or conflicting terms supplied by either party (whether in hard copy or electronic form), including those contained on or within any invoice, purchase order, or standard terms of purchase, or any click-through license agreement or terms of use, are specifically and expressly rejected by each party.
13.15. Anti-Corruption. Each party agrees and acknowledges that it has not received or been offered any illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift, or thing of value from any of the other party’s employees, contractors or agents in connection with the Agreement. Reasonable gifts and entertainment provided in the ordinary course of business do not violate the above restriction. If either party learns of any violation of the above restriction, such party shall use reasonable efforts to promptly notify the other party.
13.16. Third Parties. Except as expressly set forth in the Agreement, no provisions of the Agreement are intended nor shall be interpreted to provide or create any third-party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any other party. If the law governing the Agreement is English law, then a person who is not a party to the Agreement shall not have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of the Agreement.
