i. Non-PSci Applications. The Services may permit the use, access or connection to certain external third- party products, services, software, and websites, in conjunction with Customer use of our Applications and Services (“Non-PSci Application(s)”) which use, access and connection are in Customer’s sole control and discretion. If Customer wishes to use a Non-PSci Application with the Services, Customer grants PSci permission to connect the Services with the Non-PSci Application to receive and process Customer Data on its behalf in accordance with this Agreement. To take advantage of this feature, Customer may be required to sign up or log into such Non-PSci Application on its respective website or applications. If Customer enables the Services to access such Non-PSci Application, Customer is permitting PSci to pass
on Customer login information to the Non-PSci Application and granting the Non-PSci Application permission to access or otherwise process Customer Data. Customer acknowledges that Customer use of such Non-PSci Application is governed solely by the terms and conditions and privacy policy of such Non-PSci Application. Company is not liable for any damage or loss arising from or in connection with Customer’s enablement of such Non-PSci Application or any acts or omissions of any Non-PSci Application. Furthermore, PSci is not responsible for any false or inaccurate information generated by such Non-PSci Applications and is not obligated to take any steps to independently verify the accuracy or authenticity of such information. Customer acknowledges that the Services may at times use data scraped
from publicly available third-party websites. Company makes no warranties whatsoever with regard to the use of any such data by Customer.
4. Fees.
a. Services Fees. Customer will pay PSci the applicable fees for the Services specified in the relevant Order Form (collectively, the “Fees”). Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any applicable Order Form and/or SOW: (i) Fees are quoted and are due and payable in United States Dollars, net of taxes; (ii) payment obligations are non-cancelable; and (iii) Fees paid are non-refundable, except as set forth in Section 5(c). Customer will not use the Services in excess of the usage terms specified in the applicable Order Form (“Usage Rights”). If PSci determines Customer is exceeding its Usage Rights, PSci will notify Customer in writing (email being sufficient) specifying such overages, and Customer will have thirty (30) days from the date of notice in which to bring its usage within the limits of such Usage Rights. If Customer
fails to do so within such 30-day period, PSci shall have the right to charge Customer, and Customer agrees to pay for the applicable usage tier, which will be co-termed with the Subscription Term specified in the Order Form. If Customer’s use of the Services exceeds any applicable limits or otherwise requires the payment of additional fees as set forth in the Order Form, Customer shall be invoiced for such usage and Customer agrees to pay the additional Fees. Customer hereby authorizes PSci, its Affiliates and third-party payment processor(s) to charge Customer’s payment method for the Fees.
b. Invoices and Payment Terms. Fees will be invoiced in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form and/or SOW. PSci will bill Customer through invoices sent via email to the billing contact designated by Customer. Unless otherwise agreed in the relevant Order Form and/or SOW, full payment for invoices issued must be received within thirty (30) days from the invoice date.
c. Taxes. Except for those taxes based on PSci's net income, Customer will be responsible for all applicable taxes in connection with this Agreement including, but not limited to, sales, use, excise, value-added, goods and services, consumption, and other similar taxes or duties. Should any payment for the Services provided by PSci be subject to withholding tax by any government, Customer will reimburse PSci for such withholding tax.
d. Fee Disputes. Any good faith disputes regarding invoices must be raised by Customer in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of such invoice (“Dispute Notice Period”). Customer and PSci will diligently work to address such contested amounts, provided, however, that Customer will remain responsible for promptly paying any undisputed portion of an invoice. If Customer fails to pay any amounts which are not disputed in good faith within the Dispute Notice Period, such amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.0% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection. Furthermore, and notwithstanding the requirements set forth in Section 5(b), if Customer fails to pay any invoice within ten (10) business days after PSci has provided Customer with a written payment reminder (with respect to which, the emailing of the unpaid invoice shall be deemed
sufficient) (“Delinquency Notice”), then PSci shall thereafter have the right to terminate the Services and the applicable Order Form and/or SOW without further notice and to seek remedies available at law or inequity. PSci reserves the right to increase the Fees at the time of any Subscription Term renewal.
5. Term.
a. Agreement Term. This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues until all Order Forms have expired or been terminated (the “Term”). If Customer accesses or uses any Services (including any Evaluation Services) without an Order Form, this Agreement governs that access and use and continues until Customer ceases all use of the Services or PSci terminates or discontinues such access, which PSci may do at any time in its sole discretion where no Fees are payable for such Services. The Services commence on the start date and continue for the Subscription Term specified in the applicable Order Form. Customer will lose access to the expiring Services within twenty-four (24) hours of the last day of the Subscription Term. Termination of this Agreement will terminate any and all Order Forms and SOWs under
this Agreement.
b. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party (i) commits a material breach of this Agreement and fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice together with a reasonably detailed description of such breach or (ii) becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors.
c. Refund or Payment upon Termination for Cause. Upon any termination for cause by Customer, PSci will refund Customer any prepaid fees of all subscriptions covering the remainder of the Subscription Term after the effective date of termination. Upon any termination for cause by PSci, Customer will pay all outstanding invoices and any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term of all Order Forms. In no event will any termination relieve Customer of the obligation to pay any fees payable to PSci for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
d. Suspension of Service. PSci may, upon written notice to Customer, suspend Customer's password, account, and access to the Services (“Access”) if Customer fails to pay undisputed amounts within ten (10) business days after PSci has provided Customer with a Delinquency Notice of such failure. Furthermore, PSci may restrict functionality of the Services or temporarily suspend Customer’s Access if PSci reasonably believes that Customer or its Users have violated this Agreement. Unless PSCI reasonably believes the need to restrict or suspend Access is time-sensitive and requires immediate action without notice, or PSci is
prohibited from providing notice under law or legal order, PSci will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer by email prior to such suspension. PSci will not be liable to Customer or any third parties for any of the foregoing actions. PSci will restore Customer’s access to the Services as soon as the violation that gave rise to the suspension has been resolved (including, in the case of non-payment, upon receipt of all outstanding undisputed amounts due). Any suspension of the Services in accordance with this Section 5(d) shall not relieve Customer of its payment obligations under the Agreement and PSci's right to suspend Access under this Section 5(d) is in addition to, and not in lieu of, PSci's right to terminate the Agreement for non-payment under Section 4(d) above.
e. Return and Deletion. In the event of the termination of the Services by either party, Customer Data shall be completely and irrevocably deleted from PSci’s systems within thirty (30) days of termination. Upon completion of the deletion and Customer’s written request, PSci will certify that all Customer Data has been successfully removed. Notwithstanding the above, PSci may store Customer Data pursuant to bona fide records retention policies currently in place or which may be enacted by PSci from time to time, provided that the confidentiality obligations set forth herein will continue to apply. If requested by Customer prior to the termination or expiration of the Term, PSci will permit Customer to access the Subscription Services for ten (10) business days following the termination date solely as necessary to
download a copy of the Customer Data then stored by PSci. Except for any Customer Data that is automatically stored on PSci’s routing back-up or archival systems, PSci will, unless legally prohibited, delete all Customer Data in its systems or otherwise in its possession within ninety (90) days following the date of termination.
f. De-Installation of Application. With respect to on-premises use of the Services, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement and/or the Order Form, all licenses for use of the Application shall also terminate and Customer is responsible for completely removing and uninstalling the PSci Application from all environments where the Application was installed by or on behalf of Customer. Customer shall certify the de-installation of the Application in writing upon written request from PSci.
g. Surviving Provisions. The sections titled “Fees,” “Proprietary Rights,” “Confidentiality,” “Representations, Warranties and Disclaimers,” “Mutual Indemnification,” “Limitation of Liability,” “Refund or Payment upon Termination for Cause,” “Portability and Deletion,” “Surviving Provisions” and “General Provisions” shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Subject to the limited rights expressly granted hereunder, PSci owns and reserves all rights, title and interest in and to the Services and Documentation, including all patents, inventions, copyrights, trademarks, domain names, trade secrets, know-how, and any other intellectual property and/or proprietary rights including to the extent any derivative works are developed, for any reason, (“Intellectual Property Rights”) related to the Services.

c. Aggregate Usage Data. PSci may aggregate de-identified Customer Data together with data from other PSci customers (provided such data does not include CUI or Personal Data, or any data subject to federal regulations (e.g., ITAR, FISMA) without Customer’s prior written consent), to generate and retain data about PSci customers and information relating to the provision, use and performance of the Services (“Aggregate Usage Data”). PSci may use and disclose Aggregate Usage Data to develop, improve and deliver the Services and other offerings or otherwise operate its business, provided that disclosures will not identify Customer, any Customer personnel, or any Confidential Information (defined below) of Customer to any third party.
d. Feedback. If Customer or any User provides PSci any feedback or suggestions regarding the Services or Evaluation Services (“Feedback”), then Customer grants PSci an unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use any such Feedback for any purpose without any obligation or compensation to Customer or any User. Feedback will not include any Personal Data or Customer Confidential Information.
7. Confidentiality.
a. Definition of Confidential Information. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all confidential information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as “confidential” or “proprietary” or similar designation by the Disclosing Party or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure.

However, Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) was publicly known and made generally available in the public domain prior to the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (ii) becomes publicly known and made generally available after disclosure by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party other than as a result of a violation of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; (iii) is already in the possession of the receiving party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party; (iv) is obtained by the receiving party from a third party without a breach of the third party’s obligations of confidentiality; (v)

b. Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall (i) use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care); and (ii) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement. Either party may disclose Confidential Information to its Affiliates, employees, officers, directors, attorneys, auditors, financial advisors and other representatives who have a need to know and are legally bound to keep such information confidential by confidentiality obligations at least as stringent as those herein; or as required by law, in which case the party disclosing the other’s information to any third party will (if permitted by law and to the extent practicable) (iii) provide the other with (a) prior written notification thereof and (b) the opportunity to contest such disclosure; and (iv) use
reasonable efforts to minimize such disclosure. Each party will exercise due care in protecting Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure and will promptly notify the other in writing if it becomes aware of any violations of confidentiality obligations set forth herein.
c. Press Release and Marketing Materials. PSci will not use Customer’s name, logo, or likeness in any press release or marketing materials without prior written consent from Customer.

Customer is responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the email address and other contact information of its named account owner on the “Personal Settings” page within the Application.

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Customer warrants that neither it nor any party that wholly or partially owns Customer is listed on or acting on behalf of and will not act on behalf of any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties or organized, headquartered or located in (or a national of) a country that is subject to an U.S. government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country (an “Embargoed Jurisdiction”), (ii) Customer will not (and will not permit any third
parties to) access or use the Services or PSci Materials from an Embargoed Jurisdiction or in violation of any U.S. export embargo, prohibition or restriction, and (iii) Customer will not submit to PSci or in the Services any information that is controlled under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations.

j. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including linked terms incorporated by reference, and all exhibits, addenda and Order Forms, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning Customer’s purchase and use of the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement supersedes any non-disclosure agreement previously entered by the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. If PSci and Customer have executed a separate negotiated written agreement governing Customer’s purchase and use of the Services, that agreement, and not this Agreement, shall govern to the extent of any conflict. Except as expressly provided in Section 12(k), no modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement proposed by or on behalf of Customer shall be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of PSci. If any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions in the body of this Agreement and any exhibit or addendum hereto or any Order Form, the terms of such exhibit, addendum or Order Form shall prevail. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary therein, no terms or conditions stated in or accepted by PSci during a vendor onboarding process or web portal, a Customer purchase order, or any other Customer order documentation (excluding Order Forms) shall be incorporated into or form any part of this Agreement, and all such terms or conditions shall be null and void.
k. Changes to this Agreement. PSci may modify, revise, supplement or replace this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion. PSci is not required to review, discuss or negotiate any such change with Customer, and no notice to, consent from, or countersignature by Customer is required for a change to take effect. PSci will post the revised Agreement on the Site and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of it. The revised Agreement is effective upon posting and applies to all access to and use of the Services occurring on or after that date. Customer’s continued access to or use of the Services after the revised Agreement is posted constitutes Customer’s acceptance of it. Customer is responsible for reviewing the then-current Agreement
posted on the Site from time to time. If Customer does not agree to a revised Agreement, Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy is to stop accessing and using the Services and to terminate its subscription in accordance with Section 5; no such termination shall entitle Customer to any refund or credit of prepaid Fees except as expressly provided in Section 5(c), and no such termination shall relieve Customer of its obligation to pay Fees accrued or payable under any Order Form. For the avoidance of doubt, PSci may not modify the Fees payable under a then-current Order Form by revising this Agreement.
l. Electronic Acceptance and Communications. Customer consents to transact with PSci electronically. Customer’s electronic acceptance of this Agreement, and any Order Form executed or submitted electronically or by PDF counterpart, has the same force and effect as an original document bearing original signatures, and PSci’s records of such acceptance (including date, time and account identifiers) shall be admissible evidence of it. Customer consents to receive notices and other communications regarding the Services electronically, including by email, to the named account owner and by posting to the Site or within the Application.
