The SOWs and their changes are not binding until signed by both you and us. Unless agreed otherwise in an applicable SOW, each SOW requires a valid, current, paid subscription plan, and each SOW will terminate upon the earliest occurrence of any of the following: (a) completion of the tasks applicable to the SOW, (b) the end of the then-current subscription period if the then-current subscription plan is not renewed, (c) termination of this Agreement, your account, or your access or use of the applicable Services, or (d) expiration of the SOW or this Agreement.

The term “Statement of Work” or “SOW” means a statement of work, an order, a similar document, or their changes, agreed and signed by you and us in writing, that describe details about the Services (other than the Services offered under our subscription plans) and the applicable fees. An SOW may be signed using electronic signatures in counterparts. The SOWs are part of this Agreement and are incorporated herein by reference.

The availability of any Third-Party Site or any Third-Party Content is not an endorsement of any materials thereof or any indication that such materials are accurate, useful, or non-harmful. You are solely responsible for your use of any Third-Party Sites and any Third-Party Content.

1.5 Third-Party Services. We may use third-party service providers in connection with the Services, for example, in connection with using or providing certain networks, servers, hardware, software, databases and tools, and/or processing and storing the Customer Content (see Section 3.5) and subscription/payment data, including credit card data.

9.4 Binding Arbitration. Each party agrees that, except for claims for injunctive or equitable relief or claims regarding intellectual property rights (which may be brought in any competent court without the posting of a bond), except as provided below and to the extent permitted by law, any and all claims or disputes in any way related to or concerning the subject matter of this Agreement or any Properties, including any billing disputes, will be resolved by binding arbitration. The arbitrator must follow this Agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorneys’ fees).

9.5 Reference and Promotions. You agree that we may reference you as our customer and use your trademarks and logos for such purpose without charge (e.g., display on our website). We may from time to time send you newsletters, promotional materials, and other communications and materials relating to us or the Services.

9.6 Assignment. You may not assign, transfer, delegate, or sublicense any obligations or benefit under this Agreement without our prior written consent.

This Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Agreement will be void and without effect.

9.7 Attorneys’ Fees. If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, then, except as otherwise specified by applicable law, the prevailing party will be entitled to attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements, in addition to any other relief to which the party may be entitled.

9.8 Survival. All provisions of this Agreement that, by their nature should survive termination or expiration, will survive any termination or expiration, including Sections 2.1, 2.4 through 2.7, 3, 4, 5.2 and 6 through 9.

9.11 Headings and Construction. Headings are for convenience only and do not, in any way, affect interpretation of this Agreement. The words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, are deemed to be followed by the word “without limitation.”

9.12 Force Majeure. A party will not be liable for nonperformance or delay in performance (other than of payment obligations) caused by any event beyond the control of such party, including wars, hostilities, revolutions, riots, civil commotion, national emergency, strikes, lockouts, shortage of materials, supplies, labor, fuel, transportation, or power, the other party’s breach, pandemics, epidemics, fires, floods, earthquakes, forces of nature, explosions, embargoes, any acts of God, internet, electric power, or communications outage, or any law, proclamation, regulation, ordinance of any court, government, or governmental body.
