6. Optional Third-Party Services.
Generally. Stacksi or third parties may make available third-party products or services, including integrations and other services (“Third-Party Services”) that Customer may elect to use use (such as Amazon Web Services, Google single-sign on, SAML SSO via Customer Identity Providers). Customer may elect, in their sole discretion, whether to use any Third Party Services. Any election by Customer to use such Third-Party Services and any exchange of data between Customer and any Third-Party Service or Third-Party Service provider is solely between Customer and the applicable third-party provider. Stacksi does not warrant or provide support for Third-Party Services, whether or not they are designated by Stacksi as “recommended,” “certified,” or otherwise.
Customer Data. If Customer elects to use any Third-Party Services with the Stacksi Platform, Customer grants Stacksi permission to allow the Third-Party Service and its provider to access Customer Data as required for the interoperation of that Third-Party Service with the Stacksi Platform. Stacksi is not responsible for any disclosure, modification, or deletion of Customer Data resulting from access by such Third-Party Service or its provider. Customer is responsible for directly negotiating any limits on the use of Customer Data by the Third-Party Services directly with the Third-Party Service provider.
Interoperability. The Stacksi Platform may contain features designed to interoperate with Third-Party Services. To use such features, Customer may be required to obtain access to such Third-Party Services from their providers, and may be required to grant Stacksi access to Customer’s accounts on such Third-Party Services. Stacksi cannot guarantee the continued availability of such Stacksi Platform features, and may cease providing them without providing Customer any refund, credit, or other compensation, including if the provider of a Third-Party Service ceases to make the Third-Party Service available for interoperation with the corresponding Stacksi Platform features in a manner acceptable to Stacksi.
7. Confidentiality. Each party as Recipient shall take reasonable precautions to protect Discloser’s Confidential Information, and not to use (except as expressly permitted in this Agreement) or divulge to any third person any such Confidential Information. The foregoing shall not apply with respect to any Confidential Information after five years following the disclosure thereof (or, with respect to trade secrets, for so long as such Confidential Information constitutes a trade secret under Applicable Law), or any Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed by Applicable Law. If Recipient is required to disclose Confidential Information of the other party under applicable law, court order or other governmental authority lawfully demanding the Confidential Information, the receiving party shall: (i) to the extent legally permissible, give to the disclosing party prompt written notice of the request and a reasonable opportunity to object to the disclosure and to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy; (ii) use reasonable efforts to limit disclosure; (iii) disclose only the Confidential Information specifically required and only to the extent compelled to do so; and (iv) continue to maintain confidentiality after the required disclosure.
8. Fees and Payment.
Fees and Payment.
Customer shall pay Stacksi all fees described in all Service Orders in accordance with the terms therein (the “Fees”). Stacksi may change the Fees or applicable charges or institute new charges and Fees at the end of the initial Order Term or then-current renewal Order Term, upon 30 days’ prior notice to Customer (which may be sent by email). If Customer believes that Stacksi has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Stacksi no later than 60 days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to Stacksi’s customer support department.
Unless otherwise specified in a Service Order, full payment is due 30 days after the date of the applicable invoice. Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection, and may result in immediate termination of access to the Stacksi Platform.
Taxes. Other than federal and state net income taxes imposed on Stacksi, Customer shall bear all taxes, duties, and other governmental charges relating to the Services.
9. Term and Termination.
Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the effective date of the first Service Order between the parties and will continue until terminated in accordance with this Agreement (the “Term”).
Termination for Convenience. If there are no outstanding Service Orders, either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the other. Neither party may terminate a Service Order once it has been executed, other than by mutual consent or termination of this Agreement for material breach as set forth below.
Termination for Breach or Insolvency. Either party may terminate this Agreement or a Service Order, effective upon written notice to the other party, if the other party materially breaches this Agreement or a Service Order and such breach is incapable of cure, or (if such breach capable of cure) the breaching party does not cure such breach within 30 days of receiving notice of it. Stacksi may terminate or suspend this Agreement or any part of it immediately upon written notice to Customer without a cure period if Customer breaches any of the terms of this Agreement relating to Stacksi’s Intellectual Property Rights or Stacksi’s Confidential Information. Either party may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice, if the other party files, or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or pursuant to any other insolvency law, makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or applies for, or consents to, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, or custodian for a substantial part of its property.
Effect of Termination. Expiration or termination of this Agreement will automatically terminate all active Service Orders, but termination of a single Service Order will not result in termination of this Agreement or any other Service Orders. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement or a Service Order all rights and licenses granted by Stacksi to Customer and all rights and licenses granted by Customer to Stacksi under this Agreement or the applicable Service Order will terminate. Either party’s termination of this Agreement is without prejudice to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, and does not relieve either party of breaches occurring prior to the effective date of termination. Neither party will be liable to the other for damages arising solely as a result of terminating this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
Post-Termination Obligations. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, Stacksi shall make all Customer Data then held by Stacksi available to Customer for electronic retrieval for a period of 30 days. After such period, Stacksi will, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, delete any stored Customer Data. If Customer terminates this Agreement for material breach, Customer shall pay in full for any terminated Service Orders up to and including the last day on which access to the Services are provided. If this Agreement expires or is terminated for any other reason: (1) Stacksi will not refund Customer any Fees paid in advance of such expiration or termination; and (2) within ten days after such expiration or termination, Customer shall pay Stacksi all remaining Fees owed under any terminated Service Orders so that Stacksi is paid the full annual amount agreed to at the commencement of such Order Term. The following sections of this Agreement will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: 1, 2.A, 2.E, 2.G, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9.D, 9.E, and 10–13.

Stacksi makes no representations that any Beta Features will be made generally available and Stacksi may discontinue or modify any Beta Feature without notice. Beta Features are provided “AS IS,” and Customer’s use of a Beta Feature is at Customer’s sole risk.

12. Limitations of Liability.
EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES. STACKSI WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, EVEN IF STACKSI IS APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING.
DAMAGES CAP. STACKSI’S TOTAL LIABILITY OF ALL KINDS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING WARRANTY CLAIMS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY ACTION OR CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER TO STACKSI DURING THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM (DETERMINED AS OF THE DATE OF ANY FINAL JUDGMENT IN AN ACTION).
BASIS OF THE BARGAIN. EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS OF THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICING OFFERED BY STACKSI TO CUSTOMER AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

13. General.
Compliance with Applicable Law. Customer shall comply with all Applicable Law in connection with Customer’s activities under this Agreement, including applicable export laws.

Injunctive Relief. If either party breaches Sections 5 (Ownership) or 7 (Confidentiality), the other party may suffer irreparable harm, and monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate the non-breaching party. Accordingly, either party may, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, seek injunctive or other equitable relief in response to any such breach.
Further Assurances. Each party shall execute and deliver any documents or instruments, and take any further actions that are reasonably required, to provide the other party the full benefits and rights described in this Agreement.
Attorneys’ Fees. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees.

However, consent is not required for an assignment of this Agreement in connection with a change of control, merger, stock transfer, sale or other disposition of substantially all the assets of the assigning party’s business. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties’ permitted successors and assigns.
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or portion of a provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the rest of this Agreement will remain in effect.
No Waiver. Neither party will be treated as having waived any rights by not exercising (or delaying the exercise of) any rights under this Agreement.
Entire Agreement.

Nature of Rights. The licenses granted under this Agreement are rights in “intellectual property” within the scope of Section 101 (or its successors) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”).

Any heading, caption, or section title contained in this Agreement is for convenience only, and in no way defines or explains any section or provision. Any use of the term “including” or variations thereof in this Agreement shall be construed as if followed by the phrase “without limitation.”
