Zanbato Data Program Terms and Conditions
1. GENERAL
1.1 Ordering Services
Zanbato will provide the Services described in these Data Program Terms and Conditions and any Order Form in accordance with the terms and conditions of these Data Program Terms and Conditions and any Order Form. Each Service Order will become a part of and be governed by the terms of these Data Program Terms and Conditions.
1.2 Parties
Zanbato, Inc. or any of its Affiliates (each, “Zanbato”) may enter into an Order Form with Client under these Data Program Terms and Conditions, and with respect to such Order Forms, such Affiliate becomes a party to this Agreement and references to Zanbato in these Data Program Terms and Conditions are deemed to be references to such Affiliate. With respect to Zanbato, each Order Form is a separate obligation of the Zanbato entity that execute(s) such Order Form and no other Zanbato entity has any obligation under such Order Form. Each Order Form executed by a Zanbato entity on the one hand and a Client on the other hand, together with the Data Program Terms and Conditions, comprises a single Agreement between such Client and Zanbato such Zanbato entity. Accordingly, one or more separate Agreements may be created, each governed by the same Data Program Terms and Conditions.
1.3 Precedence
If there is any conflict among any elements of the Agreement, the descending order of precedence will be (unless expressly stated otherwise for any particular terms): Order Form, Data Program Terms and Conditions. In some cases, additional or modified rights to the rights provided in these Data Program Terms and Conditions, will be included in an Order Form for a particular Service.
1.4 Changes to the Data Program Terms of Use
Zanbato may revise and update these Data Program Terms of Use from time to time in its sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when they are posted and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. A party’s continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Data Program Terms of Use means that the party accepts and agrees to the changes.
2. TERM
The Data Program Terms and Conditions commence on the date specified in the Order Form and will remain in force during the term of any Service. Unless otherwise stated in an Order Form, the initial term of each Service (and any permission granted) is one year from the first day of the month following the date the Service is first made available and will automatically renew for additional one-year periods, unless one party gives the other at least 90 days’ notice prior to the end of the then-current term.
3. CHARGES
3.1 Payment of Fees
Client will pay the Fees within 30 days of the date of the invoice and without set-off, counterclaim or deduction. Recurring Fees accrue from the first day of the month following the date the relevant Service is made available by Zanbato until the end of the month in which a termination of the Service takes effect. Zanbato may apply a service charge of 1% per month or the highest lawful interest rate (whichever is lower) to all amounts not paid to Zanbato when due. Zanbato is not permitted or authorized by regulators to hold Client money on behalf of Client. Therefore, it is imperative that Client submits the exact amount charged for the relevant Service. If Client overpays any invoice, Zanbato shall, once identified, refund the overpayment in an appropriate and reasonable time frame.
3.2 Payment of Taxes
The Fees are exclusive of taxes, and Client will also pay applicable taxes and duties (including withholding taxes, value added tax (VAT), or other taxes but excluding income taxes imposed on Zanbato). Client will provide to Zanbato written evidence of any withholding tax paid by Client or any tax exemption on which Client wishes to rely. If Client is obliged to withhold or deduct any portion of the Fees, then Zanbato shall be entitled to receive from Client such amounts as will ensure that the net receipt, after tax and duties, to Zanbato in respect of the Fees is the same as it would have been, were the payment not subject to the tax or duties.
3.3 Changes to Fees
During the term of a Service, Zanbato may increase or adjust the basis for calculating the Fees for each Service annually (the “Annual Adjustment”) by providing Client at least 90 days prior written notice. If solely as a result of the Annual Adjustment, Zanbato increases the Fees by more than 5%, Client may terminate the affected Service by notifying Zanbato within 30 days of the date of Zanbato’s notice. Termination of such Service is effective on the date when the increase or adjustment takes effect.
3.4 Excess Use
Access to the Services is limited to the scope set forth on the applicable Order Form. In the event that the Client’s scope of use exceeds the limits set out in the Order Form (such as the number of Users, transactions (including returns), entities, and/or territories) Zanbato shall be entitled to charge additional Fees for the excess use at the rates set out in the Order Form or at the then current Zanbato pricing, whichever is greater (which additional Fees shall be a one-time adjustment for perpetual licenses and pro-rated for subscription licenses for the remainder of the initial term or renewal term, as applicable).
