RECITALS

WHEREAS, Customer desires to obtain access to the Services with respect to certain of its information technology needs; and DCKAP wishes to provide the Services to Customer, each on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises set forth herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt, and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. SERVICES

1.1 Purpose. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which DCKAP agrees to provide (i) certain hosted “software as a service” (“Subscription Services”) for certain software applications (each such application together with any applicable documentation thereto, and programming and user interfaces therefor, a “Platform”) to Authorized Users, as further set forth on each order form (“Order Form”) and (ii) if applicable, all other implementation services, customization, integration, data import and export, monitoring, technical support, maintenance, training, backup and recovery, and change management (“Professional Services” together with Subscription Services, the “Services”) related to Customer’s access to, and use of, such Subscription Services and each Platform, as further set forth on each statement of services (“Statement of Work”) issued hereunder (Order Forms and Statements of Professional Services are sometimes referred to jointly as a “Statement of Services”).

1.2 The Services; Access and Use License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Term, DCKAP shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide (i) Customer and Authorized Users access to each Platform, and (ii) Customer the Professional Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Term, DCKAP hereby grants Customer and Authorized Users a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non transferable, worldwide license to access and use each Platform, solely for internal business purposes as set forth herein.

1.3 Subscription Services. Each applicable Order Form shall specify and further describe the Subscription Services to be provided in accordance with the representations and warranties set forth herein, and shall identify, each applicable Platform, user limitations, fees, subscription term and other applicable terms and conditions.

1.4 Professional Services. Each applicable Statement of Work shall specify and further describe the Professional Services to be provided in accordance with the representations and warranties set forth herein, and may, but need not, include, the Professional Services offered, limitations, milestones, fees, term and other applicable terms and conditions.

1.5 Changes to Platform. DCKAP may, in its sole discretion, make any changes to any Platform that it deems necessary or useful to (i) maintain or enhance (a) the quality or delivery of DCKAP’s products or services to its customers, (b) the competitive strength of, or market for, DCKAP’s products or services, (c) such Platform’s cost efficiency or performance, or (ii) to comply with applicable law.

2. PLATFORM ACCESS AND AUTHORIZED USER

2.1 Administrative Users. During the configuration and set-up process for each Platform, Customer will identify an administrative user name and password for Customer’s DCKAP account. DCKAP reserves the right to refuse registration of, or cancel usernames and passwords it deems inappropriate.

2.2 Authorized Users. Customer may allow such number of Customer’s employees and/or independent contractors as is indicated on an Order Form to use the applicable Platform on behalf of Customer as “Customer Users.” Additionally, if applicable to a Platform, Customer may allow such number of designees (“Vendor Users” and together with Customer Users, “Authorized Users”) and, subject to DCKAP’s then-current Vendor Terms of Use, of its vendors (“Vendors”) as is indicated on an Order Form, and their personnel, to access each Platform in connection with such Vendor’s activity with Customer through such Platform. Authorized User subscriptions are for designated Authorized Users and cannot be shared or used by more than one Authorized User, but may be reassigned to new Authorized Users replacing former Authorized Users who no longer require ongoing use of the applicable Platform.

2.3 Authorized User Conditions to Use. As a condition to access and use of a Platform, (i) each Authorized User shall agree to abide by the terms of DCKAP’s end-user terms of use which it may adopt from time to time, (ii) Customer Users shall agree to abide by the terms of this Agreement, or a subset hereof, and (iii) Vendor Users shall agree to abide by the terms of the then-current DCKAP Vendor Terms of Service applicable to such Platform, and, in each case, Customer shall ensure such compliance. Customer shall immediately notify DCKAP of any violation of the terms of any of the foregoing by any Authorized User upon becoming aware of such violation, and shall be liable for any breach of the foregoing agreements by any Authorized User.

2.4 Account Responsibility. Customer will be responsible for (i) all uses of any account that Customer has access to, whether or not Customer has authorized the particular use or user, and regardless of Customer’s knowledge of such use, and (ii) securing its DCKAP account, passwords (including but not limited to administrative and user passwords) and files. DCKAP is not responsible for any losses, damages, costs, expenses or claims that result from stolen or lost passwords.

3. ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

3.1 Software Restrictions. Customer will not, nor permit or encourage any third party to, directly or indirectly (i) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover or derive the source code, object code or underlying structure, ideas, know-how or algorithms relevant to a Platform or any software, documentation or data related to a Platform (“Software”); (ii) modify, translate, or create derivative works based on a Platform or any Software; (iii) use a Platform or any Software for time sharing or service bureau purposes or other computer service to a third party; (iv) modify, remove or obstruct any proprietary notices or labels; or (v) use any Software or a Platform in any manner to assist or take part in the development, marketing or sale of a product potentially competitive with such Software or Platform.

DCKAP may suspend Customer’s account and access to each Platform and performance of the Services at any time and without notice if DCKAP believes that Customer is in violation of this Agreement.

3.3 Cooperation. Customer shall provide all cooperation and assistance as DCKAP may reasonably request to enable DCKAP to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under, and in connection with, this Agreement, including providing DCKAP with such access to Customer’s premises and its information technology infrastructure as is necessary for DCKAP to perform the Services in accordance with this Agreement.

3.4 Training and Education. Customer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Customer Users to be, at all times, educated and trained in the proper use and operation of each Platform such Customer Users utilize, and to ensure that each Platform is used in accordance with applicable manuals, instructions, specifications and documentation provided by DCKAP from time to time.

3.5 Customer Systems.

Customer agrees to the foregoing and warrants that it is not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such prohibited country or on any such prohibited party list.

4. CONFIDENTIALITY

4.1 Confidential Information. Each party (the “Receiving Party”) understands that the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) has been, and may be, exposed to or acquired business, technical or financial information relating to the Disclosing Party’s business (hereinafter referred to as “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information of DCKAP includes non-public information regarding features, functionality and performance of each Platform and Software. Confidential Information of Customer includes non-public data provided by Customer to DCKAP to enable the provision of access to, and use of, the Services as well as all content, data and information recorded and stored by each Platform for Customer (“Customer Data”), but explicitly excludes Vendor Information (defined below). The terms and conditions of this Agreement, including all pricing and related metrics, are DCKAP’s Confidential Information.

4.2 Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Confidential Information shall not include any information that the Receiving Party can document (i) is or becomes generally available to the public, (ii) was in its possession or known by it prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party, (iii) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party, or (iv) was independently developed without use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.

4.3 Non-use and Non-disclosure. With respect to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party agrees to: (i) use the same degree of care to protect the confidentiality, and prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure, of such Confidential Information it uses to protect its own proprietary and confidential information of like nature, which shall not be less than a reasonable degree of care, (ii) hold all such Confidential Information in strict confidence and not use, sell, copy, transfer reproduce, or divulge such Confidential Information to any third party, (iii) not use such Confidential Information for any purposes whatsoever other than the performance of, or as otherwise authorized by, this Agreement.

4.4 Compelled Disclosure. Notwithstanding Section 4.3, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent necessary to comply with a court order or applicable law; provided, however, that the Receiving Party delivers reasonable advance notice of such disclosure to the Disclosing Party and uses reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information, in whole or in part.

4.5 Remedies for Breach of Obligation of Confidentiality. The Receiving Party acknowledges that breach of its obligation of confidentiality may cause irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party for which the Disclosing Party may not be fully or adequately compensated by recovery of monetary damages. Accordingly, in the event of any violation, or threatened violation, by the Receiving Party of its obligations under this Section, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in addition to any other remedy that may be available at law or in equity, without the necessity of posting bond or proving actual damages.

5. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

5.1 Ownership. Customer shall own all rights, title and interest in and to the Customer Data. DCKAP shall own and retain all right, title and interest in and to (i) each Platform, Software and the Services and all improvements, enhancements or modifications thereto, (ii) any software, applications, inventions or other technology developed in connection with the Services, and (iii) all intellectual property and proprietary rights in and related to any of the foregoing (collectively, “Services IP”). To the extent Customer acquires any right, title or interest in any Services IP, Customer hereby assigns all of its right, title and interest in such Services IP to DCKAP.

Customer hereby grants to DCKAP a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide and royalty-free license to use and otherwise exploit (i) Customer Data to provide the Services to Customer hereunder and as necessary or useful to monitor and improve a Platform, Software and the Services, both during and after the Term, and (ii) Vendor Information for any lawful purpose. “Vendor Information” means any Vendor list or Vendor contact information that is provided to DCKAP by Customer or uploaded to any Platform by or on behalf of Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, DCKAP may use, reproduce and disclose Platform-, Software- and Services-related information, data and material that is anonymized, de identified, or otherwise rendered not reasonably associated or linked to Customer or any other identifiable individual person or entity for product improvement and other lawful purposes, all of which information, data and material will be owned by DCKAP. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to back-up Customer Data during the Term, and Customer acknowledges that it will not have access to Customer Data through DCKAP or any Platform following the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

5.3 No Other Rights. No rights or licenses are granted except as expressly set forth herein.

6. FEES & PAYMENT

6.1 Fees. Customer will pay DCKAP the then-applicable fees described in an Order Form or Statement of Work, as applicable, in accordance with the terms set forth therein (“Fees”), including, for the avoidance of doubt, any fees incurred through Customer’s use of a Platform exceeding a services capacity parameter specified on an Order Form.

6.2 Renewal Fees. Upon the commencement of each Renewal Term, (i) Customer shall be liable to DCKAP for payment of a Renewal Fee. Customer hereby consents to DCKAP charging any such Renewal Fee to the credit card, or other payment method, associated with Customer’s account without need to provide any further notice or receive any further consent. Each “Renewal Fee” shall equal the Service Fee or Renewal Fee, as applicable, due to DCKAP during previous term as may be increased in DCKAP’s sole discretion by a percentage up to the Fee Increase Percentage specified on the applicable Order Form; provided that, if the Initial Term was greater than one (1) year, for purposes of calculating the initial Renewal Fee the Service Fee shall be prorated to one (1) year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Customer is not liable to DCKAP for a Service Fee under an Order Form, no Renewal Fees shall be charged to Customer with respect to such Order Form.

6.3 Reimbursable Expenses. In addition to the Fees, if applicable, Customer shall reimburse DCKAP for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by DCKAP in connection with performing the Professional Services.

6.4 Payment.

Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, plus all expenses of collection. In addition to any other remedies available, DCKAP may suspend Services in the event of payment delinquency. Customer acknowledges and agrees that DCKAP does not provide refunds on Services that have been initiated. DCKAP’s business model calls for DCKAP to provide the Services upon initiation and full or partial refunds are not possible based on the amount of work done.

6.5 Payment Disputes. If Customer believes that DCKAP has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact DCKAP no later than thirty (30) days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the believed error or problem appeared in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to DCKAP’s customer support department or the applicable Account Manager.

6.6 Taxes. Customer shall pay, and shall be liable for, all taxes relating to DCKAP’s provision of the Services hereunder. DCKAP shall pay, and shall be liable for, taxes based on its net income or capital.

6.7 No Deductions or Setoffs. All amounts payable to DCKAP hereunder shall be paid by Customer to DCKAP in full without any setoff, recoupment, counterclaim, deduction, debit or withholding for any reason except as may be required by applicable law.

6.8 Subpoena Expenses. If DCKAP has to provide information in response to a subpoena related to Customer’s account, then DCKAP may charge Customer for DCKAP’s costs. Such charges may include fees for attorney and employee time spent retrieving records, preparing documents and participating in depositions or other legal process as well as other costs incurred in complying with such legal processes.
