By way of example and not limitation, Client may not acquire nor utilize in any way a domain or subdomain that includes a Merchant’s Proprietary Term (e.g., www.Merchantdomain-outlet-sale.com, www.outlet.sale.Merchantdomain.Client’sdomain.com) if Client is not the Merchant that owns the Proprietary Term. Client may use Proprietary Terms as a sub-directory of Client’s Site (e.g., Client’sdomain.com/proprietaryterm). Such Prohibited Marketing will result in the immediate termination of this Agreement.
5.1 General. When a user places an order for a Product through the Site of a Fulfiller it will be fulfilled through the Quivers Solution and Client’s user will become a Customer of Quivers and/or the participating Merchant. Consequently, all terms for the sale of Product, including but not limited to, the price, rules, policies, procedures, customer service, returns, etc., shall be determined by Quivers and/or the Merchant in their sole discretion, and may be changed at any time. Customers who make Qualified Purchases through Client’s Site will receive the purchased Products subject to the Merchant’s standard warranty.
Quivers will notify the Merchant and/or its authorized Fulfillers of the opportunity to claim the order, or any part of the order, by means specified by the Merchant’s authorized Fulfillers (e.g., by text message, smart phone mobile application and/or email). The order, timing, frequency and other allocation rules of such notification to Fulfillers are set by the Merchant and may be modified by the Merchant at any time. The notification will set forth the exact terms and conditions of the order, including (i) the Products ordered; (ii) the Product Sales Price; (iii) the Customer’s ship to city and state or province; (iv) any shipping and handling fee, as determined solely by the Merchant, and (v) the amount of the Quivers Service Fee and Merchant Fulfillment Fee that will be retained by Quivers.
While the notification is pending, authorized Fulfillers of the Merchant, or the Merchant itself depending on the allocation rules determined by the Merchant, may claim any part or all of the order for fulfillment. Unless otherwise noted, an authorized Fulfiller shall not, for any reason, claim a Product or entire order if it does not have the physical inventory and immediate ability to fulfill such Product/order either by shipment or in-store pick up. If the first Fulfiller to claim a Product/order for fulfillment does not have sufficient inventory to fulfill it, such Fulfiller must withdraw its claim to such Product/order within 15 minutes by contacting the Merchant directly so that another Fulfiller and/or the Merchant may claim and fulfill the Product/order.
The order, or part of an order if permitted by the Merchant’s notification criteria, will be fulfilled by the first authorized Fulfiller (or Merchant, as the case may be) to claim the Product/order for fulfillment (“Fulfiller”). If an order has not been claimed for fulfillment within the time set by the Merchant through the Quivers Solution, the Merchant must (i) claim and fulfill the order, (ii) cancel the order due to Product unavailability, or (iii) resend the order through the Quivers Solution so that it may be claimed by an authorized Fulfiller of the Merchant. In any event, all orders must either be irrevocably claimed for fulfillment or cancelled by the Merchant due to Product unavailability within 48 hours of the time the order is initially placed by the Customer.
Fulfillers will make every reasonable effort to ensure timely and accurate order fulfillment. The Product/order must be shipped or available for pick up at a physical store location within the time designated by the Merchant. Once shipped, the name, address(es), phone number(s), email address(es), and/or other identification and contact information of the Fulfiller(s) will be provided to the Customer. Shipped refers to the date the carrier takes delivery of the package from the Fulfiller, or the postmarked date if it is delivered via national Postal Service. If a delay occurs, Quivers and the Customer will need to be promptly notified.
Orders will be processed securely pursuant to the requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. The Fulfiller must print the packing list from the “Print Packing List” function on the Quivers Site and include it with each order. No other invoices shall be placed inside the box. All orders shall be packed with sufficient fill material to prevent damage during shipment. Fragile items should be marked accordingly with a conspicuous label or writing. Orders must be shipped in new or very good condition boxes that are Merchant-Merchanted or without any Merchanting. Fulfiller(s) may use their Merchanted boxes if pre-approved in writing is obtained by the Merchant. Promotional material and/or literature placed inside of shipping boxes must be approved in advance and in writing by the Merchant. Quivers recommends using services with tracking numbers such as United Parcel Service (“UPS”), Federal Express, or DHL. Fulfillers must provide for delivery confirmation by signature of Customers on all orders over $250. Failure to comply may result in a chargeback to the Fulfiller pursuant to the Section 5.8 below entitled Deductions From Qualified Purchases.
Once the Product/order is shipped, tracking information will be sent to the Customer. Quivers determines that an order is fulfilled when tracking information, or notice the Product was picked up, is entered into the Quivers Site by the Fulfiller. A Qualified Purchase is complete when payment is received by Quivers on behalf of the Customer, and all Products in the order have been marked as shipped or cancelled.
5.2 Shipping and Handling. Each participating Merchant will determine whether, and to what extent, a charge for shipping and handling will be included in each Customer order. Any such shipping and handling charge will be indicated in the notification to Fulfillers set forth above. To the extent there is no shipping and handling charge indicated for a particular order (i.e., the order includes free shipping), or the indicated charge is not sufficient to cover the actual shipping and handling cost to fulfill the Product/order, Fulfillers shall be solely responsible for, and absorb, their respective shipping and handling costs for all Products/orders.
5.3 Sales Tax. Based on the information Client provides, the Quivers Solution will estimate applicable Sales Tax, if any, and Quivers’ independently contracted payment processor or Client’s payment processor, as applicable, will collect any Sales Tax due from Customers, which will then be forwarded to the Fulfiller. Such collected Sales Taxes will be listed in the settlement reports issued by Quivers. THE FULFILLER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE TO NOTIFY QUIVERS OF ALL JURISDICTIONS WHERE IT HAS A SALES TAX NEXUS OR IS OTHERWISE OBLIGATED TO PAY SALES TAX, SHALL REPORT AND PAY ANY SALES TAX IT OWES, AND SHALL INDEMNIFY QUIVERS FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO PURSUANT TO THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISION SET FORTH HEREIN. As used herein, “Sales Tax” includes, but is not limited to, excise, import, export, value added, consumption and other such taxes and duties assessed, incurred or required to be collected or paid for any reason in connection with any transactions made pursuant to this Agreement.
5.4 Payments to Client for Qualified Purchases
5.4.1 Amount for Fulfilling Order: Subject to all other terms of this Agreement, Quivers will pay Fulfillers for each Qualified Purchase a sum equal to the Product Sales Price, plus any sales tax and shipping and handling charges, less Quivers Service Fee, Merchant Fulfillment Fee, and any applicable payment for generating an order pursuant to the preceding paragraph.
5.5 Payments to Bank Accounts in Different Currency than Order: Cross-currency and/or international payments may incur transfer and/or foreign exchange fees that will be deducted from payments Quivers makes to Client. Client’s receiving bank may also charge Client a transfer fee and/or other service fees. All such fees shall be Client’s sole responsibility.
5.6 Timing: Within thirty (30) days following the end of each week period (generally this will be Friday UTC, though the exact day may change)), Quivers will pay Client for all Qualified Purchases made in a period. In the event a Customer places an order in one period and Product is shipped or picked up in the following period (e.g., an order is placed on Thursday and Product is shipped on the following Monday), the Qualified Purchase will be deemed to have occurred in the period the Product is shipped or picked up. Additionally, in the event a Customer places an order in one period and the funds for the order are received by Quivers in the following period (e.g., the order funds are received by the merchant on Thursday but not transferred to and received by Quivers until Monday), the Qualified Purchase will be deemed to have occurred in the period the order funds were received by Quivers.
5.7 Tracking, Reporting & Payment: Quivers will track Qualified Purchases for reporting and payment purposes and make reports available to Client through the Quivers Solution. In the event of any dispute regarding tracking and calculating Qualified Purchases, the automated results from the Quivers Solution shall control and be binding upon the parties to this Agreement. Client will receive payments by direct deposit into a bank account designated by Client, or by check, at the election of Quivers. Client will be responsible for providing Quivers with the name and address of the bank, type of account, account number, exact name on the account, and the routing number for the bank. Client is responsible for paying any taxes that may be owed by Client as a result of receiving Payments (e.g., income tax), and no additional compensation will be paid to Client for such taxes.
5.8 Deductions from Qualified Purchases: Quivers may apply chargebacks against payments due to Client in the future. Chargebacks are retroactive or prospective reductions to payments or credits made by Quivers pertaining to Qualified Purchases resulting from: (i) credit card chargebacks involving orders that Quivers has previously paid Client, or given Client credit, for; (ii) erroneous calculation or crediting of orders or payments to Client; (iii) partial or full credit for returned Products or canceled orders; (iv) orders that occur after this Agreement is terminated; (v) orders generated via “Prohibited Marketing”; (vi) orders where one or more Products were not received by the Customer; (vii) orders where one or more Products were declared by the Customer as not as described and/or were defective; and (viii) orders that otherwise violate the terms of this Agreement. Any balance not so repaid will be paid by Client in cash upon demand.
5.9 Risk of Loss
Damage or loss to Products caused during shipment is the sole risk and responsibility of the Fulfiller(s), so Fulfiller(s) should consider insuring Products shipped by them or at their direction for fair value in the case of loss. If Customers want replacements for Products received in damaged condition, the Fulfiller will send replacements and make a claim with the shipping company. In any event, if a Customer pays for a Product and it is lost or damaged and the Fulfiller does not resolve the issue to the reasonable satisfaction of the Customer, Quivers may, in its sole discretion, chargeback the payment pursuant to the “Deductions from Qualified Purchase” Section 5.8 herein.
5.10 Customer Service. Merchants participating in the Quivers Services expect their customers will receive fast, excellent service. Fulfillers’ continued participation in the Quivers Services depends on Client meeting Quivers’ and participating Merchants’ customer service requirements, including those specified in this Agreement. Client’s consistent ability to meet Quivers’ and participating Merchants’ customer service requirements may affect Merchants’ allocation of Customer orders to Client for fulfillment through the Quivers Site. Frequent inability to meet such customer service requirements may result in termination of Client’s status as an authorized Fulfiller and therefore termination of this Agreement.
Customer service for Products accepted by Customers shall primarily be the responsibility of, and handled by, the Fulfiller(s). If the Fulfiller is an authorized Fulfiller who attempts in good faith, but is unable to solve a Customer’s issue, the Fulfiller must provide the Customer with the Merchant’s customer support contact information. Thereafter, customer service shall be the responsibility of the Merchant.
5.11 Customer Returns. Fulfillers shall accept all Customer returns for any reason of unopened Merchant packaging (as opposed to shipping packaging) for thirty (30) days following shipment of Products.
5.12 Customer Warranty. Customers making purchases through the Quivers Site will receive the purchased Products subject to the Merchant and/or manufacturer’s standard warranty. Quivers does not provide any additional warranty of any kind for Products, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

10.1 Application. This Section 10 only applies to the extent that the Client’s use of Quivers Services falls within the scope of DP Law.
10.2 Definitions. Within this Section 10: (a) “Client Personal Data” means any Personal Data transferred pursuant to this Agreement in relation to the provision of Quivers Services; (b) “DP Law(s)” means the Data Protection Act 1998, the EU Directive 95/46/EC, as replaced or superseded from time to time, including by the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (the “GDPR”) and any laws and/or regulations implementing or supplementing the GDPR; the E-Privacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and all other applicable laws and regulations relating to the Processing of Personal Data, including any legislation that replaces, repeals and/or supersedes any of the foregoing; and (c) “Personal Data”, and “Processing” shall have the same meanings as in the GDPR, and their cognate terms shall be construed accordingly and “processed” and “process” shall be construed in accordance with the definition of “Processing”.
10.3 Obligations. Each party shall: (a) ensure that it complies at all times with all applicable obligations which may arise under applicable DP Laws in connection with the Processing of Personal Data pursuant to this Agreement; and (b) take appropriate technical and organizational measures against unauthorized or unlawful Processing of Personal Data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, Personal Data. When considering what measure is appropriate, each party shall have regard to the state of good practice, technical development and the cost of implementing any measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the harm that might result from such unauthorized or unlawful Processing or accidental loss or destruction, and to the nature of the Personal Data to be protected.
10.4 Data Processor. To the extent that Quivers Processes, pursuant to this Agreement, Client Personal Data on behalf of Client, the provisions of Exhibit B shall apply to the Processing of such Client Personal Data.
11.1 Fees. The subscription and/or implementation and services fees payable by Client for the Quivers Services and the applicable Quivers Agreement term, will be set forth in each Quivers Agreement. Client will pay all fees in advance on a monthly, quarterly or annual or other basis as set forth in the applicable Quivers Agreement.
11.2 Payment Terms. Except as set forth herein or in a Quivers Agreement, all payments under this Agreement shall be made within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Payments shall be made in currently available funds by ACH or wire transfer, by credit or debit card (provided Quivers may add an additional processing fee to such payments), or by such other means as Quivers may specify from time-to-time. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Quivers and specified in the applicable Quivers Agreement, all fees are payable in the currency of the United States of America. All fees specifically exclude (and Client is responsible for) any and all applicable sales, use and other taxes, other than taxes based on Quivers’ income. If all or any part of any payment owed to Quivers under this Agreement is withheld, based upon a claim that such withholding is required pursuant to the tax laws of any country or its political subdivisions and/or any tax treaty between the U.S. and any such country, such payment shall be increased by the amount necessary to result in a net payment to Quivers of the amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement. Any amounts due under this Agreement which are not paid within thirty (30) calendar days of their due date shall be subject to a late payment charge of the lower of: (a) one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (and shall thereafter bear interest at a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum until paid); and (b) the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law. Each party is responsible for its own expenses under this Agreement. All fees payable under this Agreement are non-refundable.
11.3 Subscription Fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all subscription or other recurring fees shall be (i) due and payable upon the date of receipt of an invoice and, if applicable, such fees shall be automatically charged to the payment information on file with Quivers, or (ii) paid on the dates and pursuant to the terms set forth in the applicable Quivers Agreement.
11.4 Third-Party Payment Gateway. In the event a Merchant uses a third-party payment gateway to process transactions related to the sale of Products through the Quivers Services, such that Quivers is not the initial recipient of funds related to such sale, Quivers will provide an invoice to the Merchant no fewer than two (2) times per month in respect of the Quivers Service Fee and other amounts incurred pursuant to this Agreement as a result of such transactions (e.g., amounts due and owing to fulfilling Fulfillers). Such invoices shall be due and payable upon the date of receipt.
11.5 Changes to Fees. Quivers may change its fees and payment terms at its discretion; provided however, that such changes will not take effect for Client until the start of the next renewal term for a Quivers Agreement or this Agreement. In the case of such an amendment, Client’s continued use of the Quivers Services after the effective date of the amendment constitutes Client’s agreement to pay the revised fees.
12.1 Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the date this Agreement is first agreed to by Client (including by click-through or other agreement or by executing a Quivers Agreement that references this Agreement), and shall continue for an initial term of two (2) years or as otherwise defined the Quivers Agreement. The term of each Quivers Agreement will be as set forth therein. The initial term of this Agreement and the licenses to use the Quivers Solution pursuant to each Quivers Agreement will automatically renew for successive renewal terms of one (1) year each unless a party notifies the other party in writing of its intent not to renew at least thirty (30) days in advance of the end of the initial term or subsequent renewal terms.
12.2 Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement (and any Quivers Agreement then in effect) if the other party breaches any material term of this Agreement which, in the case of Client will include any breach of Client’s payment obligations, if the other party fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after notice of such breach. Additionally, (a) either party may terminate this Agreement and any Quivers Agreement immediately if the other party materially violates any applicable laws or regulations applicable to this Agreement and (b) Quivers may terminate this Agreement and any Quivers Agreement immediately if Quivers is required by any payment processor to terminate its relationship with Client.
12.3 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement or any Quivers Agreement is terminated, Quivers will continue to process orders relating to Client that were initiated before notice of termination is given. Client shall fulfill all Products/orders irrevocably claimed for fulfillment and shall continue to provide customer service support in good faith for a period of sixty (60) days. Except as required to fulfill such pending Products/orders or to render customer service support in good faith, Client must immediately cease using the Quivers Services. Payment for Qualified Purchases may be delayed up to an additional thirty (30) days in the case of any termination of this Agreement or any Quivers Agreement.
If this Agreement or any Quivers Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the applicable term defined therein, Client shall be required to pay to Quivers (a) any remaining Quivers subscription fees due for the remaining duration of the applicable term and (b) any committed transaction fees set forth in any applicable Quivers Agreement. The foregoing termination fee will be due within thirty (30) days of termination and must be paid in immediately available funds via ACH, wire transfer, or by such other means as Quivers may specify. For the avoidance of doubt, Client will be responsible for any fees associated with such payment.
The termination of this Agreement or any Quivers Agreement will not affect rights or obligations of the parties that have accrued prior to the effective date of such termination. In addition, the Sections 1 (“Definitions”), 8 (“Confidentiality”), 11 (“Fees”) for fees due as of termination, 12.3 (“Effect of Termination”), 13 (“Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights”), 15.4 (“Warranty Disclaimer”), 16 (“Limitation of Liability”), and 17 (“Indemnification”) through 29 (“Counterparts”) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
13.1 Quivers Intellectual Property. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Client acknowledges and agrees that, prior to and during the term of this Agreement, Quivers has developed and may further develop, including any changes and improvements requested or suggested by Client, ideas, concepts, processes, methodologies, software, know-how, copyrightable material, notes, records, drawings, designs, inventions (whether patentable or not), technology, source and object code, algorithms, improvements, developments, discoveries and trade secrets (“Quivers Intellectual Property”), some of which Quivers may use in performance or provision of the Quivers Services. Client agrees that Quivers shall have and retain exclusive Intellectual Property Rights of all such Quivers Intellectual Property and shall be entitled to use any and all Quivers Intellectual Property in connection with the performance and/or creation of the Quivers Services for Client as well as for other parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Client or any third-party claim, or any court of law determines, that Client has a legal interest in any Quivers Intellectual Property, Client further agrees to assign (or cause to be assigned) and does hereby assign fully to Quivers all such Intellectual Property Rights. Any assignment under this Agreement includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure, and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as moral rights. To the extent such moral rights cannot be assigned under applicable law and to the extent the following is allowed by the laws in the various countries where moral rights exist, Client hereby waives such moral rights and consent to any action of Quivers that would violate such moral rights in the absence of such consent. Client will confirm any such waivers and consents in writing from time to time as requested by Quivers. Quivers retains all right, title and interest, including, without limitation, all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Quivers Solution, Quivers Services and Quivers Site and there are no implied licenses thereto.
13.2 Assistance. Client agrees to perform, during and after the term of this Agreement, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by Quivers to permit and assist it in evidencing, perfecting, obtaining, maintaining, defending and enforcing Quivers’ Intellectual Property rights. Such acts may include, but are not limited to, execution of documents and assistance or cooperation in legal proceedings. If Quivers is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure Client’s signature to any such document (including, but not limited to renewals, extensions, continuations, divisions or continuations in part), Client hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Quivers and its duly authorized officers and agents, as Client’s agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on behalf and instead of Client, to execute and file any documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the above purposes with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Client. Quivers may enforce its Intellectual Property Rights to the full extent of the law. Any unauthorized use of Quivers’ Intellectual Property may subject Client to penalties or damages, including but not limited to those related to infringement or violation of trademarks, copyrights, patents, privacy, and publicity rights.
If Client believes that a Product or other Content infringes upon Client’s copyrighted works, please notify Quivers in writing pursuant the Quivers Intellectual Property Policy
(https://www.quivers.com). If Client notifies Quivers of any Content on the Quivers Site that is allegedly infringing, defamatory, damaging, illegal, or offensive, Quivers may investigate the allegation and determine in its sole discretion whether to remove or request the removal of such Content from the Quivers Site.
15.1 Client’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Client represents, warrants and covenants that: (i) Client has the right, power and authority to enter into, and perform Client’s obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, assigning or granting the rights and/or licenses to Quivers set forth herein; (ii) the acts of entering into and performing Client’s obligations under this Agreement do not violate any agreement, rights or obligations existing between Client and any other person or entity; (iii) throughout the term of this Agreement, Client shall not enter into any agreement that is inconsistent with Client’s obligations hereunder; (iv) to the best of Client’s knowledge, any Content Client provides to Quivers does not and will not infringe upon or misappropriate any copyright, patent, trade secret, trademark, service mark, or other proprietary or Intellectual Property Rights of others; (v) the Content Client provides to Quivers does not and shall not contain any Content, data, work, materials, link, advertising or services that actually or potentially violate any law or regulation or infringe or misappropriate any copyright, patent, trade secret, trademark, service mark, or other proprietary or intellectual property, contract or tort right of any person; (vi) any information Client provides to Quivers in the performance of this Agreement is not and shall not be the confidential information of any third party; (vii) Client will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, all export and import control laws and regulations in Client’s performance hereunder; and (viii) in entering this Agreement, Client is not relying on any representation, guarantee or statement that is not expressly contained herein.

COMPLIANCE WITH ANY SUCH LEGAL, REGULATORY, OR OTHER REQUIREMENTS BY CLIENT IS STRICTLY CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITY.
IN NO EVENT WILL QUIVERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION), WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS FORESEEABLE, EVEN IF QUIVERS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR ARISES FROM ANY CLAIM BASED UPON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ARISING OUT OF, OR RESULTING FROM, ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT.

17.1 By Client. Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Quivers and its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, consultants, attorneys, suppliers and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, expenses, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments or other liabilities (including product liability), except for those caused solely by Quivers’ gross negligence or willful misconduct, arising out of or relating to: (i) Client’s use of Quivers Services; (ii) Client’s acts or omissions under or as contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) Client’s failure to comply with this Agreement; (iv) Client’s infringement or misappropriation, or infringement by any other user of Client’s account, of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity; (v) any claim against Quivers of infringement or violation of any intellectual property or other right of any person based on Quivers’ actions taken or omissions made at Client’s direction; (vi) use of any Client Marks or Content provided by Client, including without limitation for use on Client’s Site or on the Quivers Site, and (vii) the advertising, sale, purchase and use of Products delivered or intended to be delivered to Customers.
17.2 By Quivers. Quivers will defend, indemnify and hold Client harmless from and against any and all third-party claims and any resulting third party liabilities, losses, expenses and damages (collectively, the “Claims”) directly resulting from a claim that the Quivers Solution (specifically excluding any Product, Client Marks or Client Content) violates or infringes such third party’s registered U.S. intellectual property right. If the Quivers Solution becomes, or in the opinion of Quivers may become, the subject of a Claim, then Quivers may, at its option (i) procure for Client the right to use the Quivers Solution free of any third party liability; or (ii) replace or modify the Quivers Solution with non-infringing components with substantially similar functionality; or (iii) terminate this Agreement upon notice to Client and refund to Client any prepaid unused fees for affected Quivers Solution. The forgoing obligations described in this Section define Client’s sole and exclusive remedies for any claims that the Quivers Solution violates or infringes a third party intellectual property right.
Not withstanding the foregoing, Quivers will have no obligation under this Section 17 or otherwise with respect to any infringement claim based upon (i) any use of the Quivers Solution not in accordance with this Agreement or for purposes not intended by Quivers, (ii) any use of the Quivers Solution in combination with other unauthorized products, equipment, software, or data not supplied by Quivers, (iii) any use of any release of the Quivers Solution other than the most current release made available to Client, or (iv) any modification of the Quivers Solution by any person other than Quivers or its authorized agents or subcontractors. THIS SECTION 17.2 STATES QUIVERS’ ENTIRE LIABILITY AND CLIENT’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS AND ACTIONS.
17.3 Indemnification Procedure. For all indemnity obligations described herein, the following shall apply. The indemnified party will notify the indemnifying party in a reasonably prompt manner of any claim for which the indemnified party is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. The indemnifying party may thereafter assume sole control of the defense and settlement of such claim. The indemnified party will have the right to participate at its own sole cost and expense in the defense or settlement of such claim. The indemnified party will provide the indemnifying party with a reasonable amount of assistance in connection with defending or settlement any such claim, at the indemnifying party’s expense.

All notices shall be addressed to Quivers at the address as follows, or at such other address as Quivers may designate by written notice to Client:

Suite #325
Millcreek, UT 84117
USA
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without reference to the principles of conflicts of laws, or the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to the Quivers Services, this Agreement or any agreement or relationship Client have or had with Quivers or its related entities shall be heard exclusively in any state or federal court in Salt Lake City, Utah.
If any action in a court of law is brought to enjoin infringement or other misuse of Intellectual Property Rights in connection with this Agreement, the substantially prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and other actual costs incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.
Quivers personnel delivering services to Client under this Agreement may perform similar services for others during or after the term of this Agreement. Quivers will make reasonable efforts to honor Client’s specific requests regarding assignment of Quivers personnel; however, Quivers reserves the sole right to make and change all such assignments.
This Agreement does not prevent Quivers from providing the Quivers Services to other parties while providing the same to Client. Client and Quivers are independent contractors. Client and Quivers shall have no claim against each other for vacation pay, sick leave, retirement benefits, social security, income tax, worker’s compensation, health or disability benefits, unemployment insurance benefits, or employee benefits of any kind. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute the parties as partners, employer/employee, or joint venturers, nor shall either party have any right, power or authority to act or create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party or otherwise bind each other.
The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to act with respect to a breach by the other party of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision, the right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches, or the right to enforce such provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such holding shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof, and any part of such provision not held invalid or unenforceable shall remain in effect.
Client may not assign any of Client’s rights, duties or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Quivers, which may not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempt to do so shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement, and any assignment in violation of this provision shall be void ab initio. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.
This Agreement shall be interpreted fairly in accordance with its terms and without any strict construction in favor of or against either party. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces all prior written or oral agreements regarding such subject matter. Notwithstanding that Client may be required to acknowledge or agree to a click-on or click-through terms of use agreement on the Quivers Site, if any provisions of this Agreement conflict with the provisions of such click-on or click-through terms, the provisions of this Agreement will control. Except as otherwise provided herein, any supplement, modification or amendment by Client of this Agreement shall not be binding unless executed in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Quivers. The English language version of this Agreement shall be controlling in all respects and shall prevail in case of any inconsistencies with translated versions, if any.
During the term of this Agreement, Quivers will at its own cost, obtain and maintain in force appropriate insurance policies, including worker’s compensation and general liability insurance.
Except for its obligations under Section 8 hereof (Confidentiality) and except for any obligations of payment, neither party will be responsible for failure of performance due to causes beyond its control. Such causes include (without limitation) accidents, acts of God such as flood or other natural catastrophe, strikes, labor disputes, civil insurrection, war, actions of any government agency, or any other casualty or cause beyond the control of the parties, shortage of materials, or the stability or availability of power or the Internet, or portion thereof (collectively, “Force Majeure”). Written notice of such Force Majeure shall be given by the affected party to the other party within ten (10) days of such party becoming affected by the Force Majeure. In the event any Force Majeure event or events continue for one or more periods of at least thirty (30) days in the aggregate during any twelve (12) month period, the affected party shall have the unilateral right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party.
Amendments to this Agreement may occur periodically.
Quivers shall have the right to hire or engage one or more subcontractors or other third parties to perform all or any of its obligations under this Agreement; provided that Quivers shall remain ultimately responsible for the performance or non-performance of any such subcontractor and for ensuring that the obligations with respect to the nature, quality and standards of care set forth in this Agreement are satisfied with respect to any services provided by any such subcontractor.
Exhibit A
Service Level Agreement
Quivers will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Quivers Services available 99.5% of the time, excluding any Scheduled Downtime or Unscheduled Downtime events, each as defined below. The Service availability will be calculated by dividing the total number of minutes of uptime in the Quivers Services during an applicable calendar month by the total number of actual minutes in such month minus minutes of Scheduled Downtime or attributable to elements outside of Quivers’ reasonable control, and then multiplying that amount by 100 (“Scheduled Uptime”).
Quivers will use reasonable efforts to provide Client with a minimum of (7) days advance notice for all scheduled downtime to perform system maintenance, backup and upgrade functions for the Quivers Services (the “Scheduled Downtime”) if the Quivers Services will be unavailable due to the performance of system maintenance, backup and upgrade functions. Scheduled Downtime will not exceed eight (8) hours per month and will be scheduled in advance during off-peak hours (based on PT). Quivers will notify Client’s administrator via email of any Scheduled Downtime that will exceed (2) hours.
The duration of Scheduled Downtime is measured, in minutes, as the amount of elapsed time from when the Quivers Services are not available to perform operations to when the Quivers Services become available to perform operations.
Unscheduled Downtime is defined as any time outside of the Scheduled Downtime when the Quivers Services are not available to perform operations, excluding any outages caused by the failure of any third-party vendors or hosting providers, the Internet in general, or any force majeure event or event beyond Quivers’ control. The measurement is in minutes.
If the Quivers Services does not meet the Scheduled Uptime levels set forth above, Client will be entitled, upon written request, to a Service Level Credit to be calculated as follows:
Service Level Credits shall be Clients sole and exclusive remedy in the event of any failure to meet the Service Levels. Service Level Credits will be applied to the next invoice following Client’s request and Quivers’ confirmation that credits are applicable.
