2. SERVICES

2.1. Provision of Services. Axisnow will provide the Services to Customer in accordance with this Agreement, including any Order Forms.

2.2. Software. To the extent that use of the Services requires Customer to install Software, Axisnow grants to Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except pursuant to Section 14.3 (Assignment)), and non-sublicensable license to install, copy and use the Software solely as necessary to use the Services in accordance with this Agreement and Axisnow documentation. If Customer’s right to use the Services terminates, Customer’s license to any related Software will also terminate.

2.3. Software Updates. Axisnow may occasionally make Software Updates available to Customer and Axisnow recommends that Customer installs them at its earliest convenience. All Software Updates will be deemed to be subject to the terms of this Agreement. Axisnow will not be liable for failure of the Services to operate effectively or correctly if Customer does not install the Software Updates in a timely manner.

2.4. Restrictions. Unless otherwise expressly permitted in writing by Axisnow, Customer will not (and will not permit a User or third party to):

(a) lease, sell, resell, or use for timesharing or service bureau purposes, the Services;

(b) interfere with, disrupt, alter, or modify any Services, or create an undue burden on the Services or the networks or services connected to the Services;

(c) engage in abusive or excessive usage of the Services (whether intentionally or unintentionally), which is usage significantly in excess of average usage patterns that adversely affects the speed, responsiveness, stability, availability or functionality of the Services;

(d) use any framing techniques to enclose any Axisnow Mark or Axisnow Materials (defined below) or use any meta tags or other “hidden text” using the Axisnow Marks;

(h) perform or publish any benchmark tests or analyses relating to the Services;

(i) purchase, access, or use the Services for the purpose of building or improving a competitive product or service, or for any other directly competitive purpose;

(j) circumvent or attempt to circumvent any limitations that Axisnow imposes on Customer’s account in accordance with this Agreement (such as account suspensions for non-payment);

(k) probe, scan, or test for vulnerabilities in the Services or any other Axisnow system or network;

(l) use the Services for any unlawful purposes or activities, or to facilitate unlawful activities;

(m) use the Services to transmit any code, agents, software, or links to such materials (such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and malware) with the intent to do harm;

(n) permit Users to share User Accounts or access credentials to User Accounts; or

(o) use the Services in a way that would subject Axisnow to any industry-specific regulations relating to Personal Data or specific types of sensitive data that Axisnow would not otherwise be generally subject to. For example, Customer may not use the Services to collect, process, store, or otherwise handle “protected health information” (as defined under HIPAA) in a manner that would subject Axisnow to HIPAA without entering into a separate business associate agreement with Axisnow that permits Customer to do so.

2.5. User Accounts. Customer may allow Users that Customer designates to access and use the Services, subject to their acceptance of the User Terms and any limitations agreed to by the parties. Each User Account may only be allocated to and used by a single User. The Services are not intended for Users under the age of 16 and Customer represents and warrants that no Users will be under the age of 16. Customer is responsible for ensuring that Users’ use of the Services comply with the User Terms and this Agreement. If there is a conflict between the User Terms and this Agreement, this Agreement will prevail to the extent of the conflict.

2.6. Third Party Services. Customer may be able to integrate the Services with a third party service not provided by Axisnow (such as a third party service that uses an API) (“Third Party Service”). Third Party Services are not Axisnow services, so Axisnow does not support or warrant them. If Customer chooses to use a Third Party Service, Customer acknowledges that such Third Party Service may access, use, disclose, provide, modify, or delete Customer Data in accordance with its functionality, and Customer agrees that Axisnow will not be responsible for any such actions.

2.7. Updates to the Services. Customer acknowledges that, as is typical for software-as-a-service products, Axisnow may continually update the Services. Customer agrees that its purchase of the Services is not contingent upon the delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written public documents made by Axisnow regarding future functionality or features.

2.8. Suspension of Services. Axisnow may temporarily suspend or disable the Services, or restrict Customer’s or any User’s access to the Services or any component thereof:

(a) if Axisnow reasonably determines that Customer or a User has breached this Agreement, including Section 2.4 (Restrictions);

(b) for a failure to timely pay any Fees;

(c) if Axisnow reasonably determines such action is required to avoid or mitigate material harm to Axisnow or its customers, such as if the Services are experiencing excessive use, denial of service attacks, or other attacks or disruptions outside of Axisnow’s control;

(d) to address any emergency security concerns, such as if Axisnow becomes aware that a User Account may have been used by an unauthorized person;

(e) for scheduled or emergency maintenance of the Services; or

(f) if required to do so by law or a governmental or regulatory authority.

Where practicable in the circumstances and permitted by law, Axisnow will notify Customer of any such suspension, disablement, or restriction and limit its scope and duration to the minimum time necessary to redress or resolve the reason for such action. Axisnow will endeavor to schedule any maintenance to off-peak hours. To receive advance notice of any scheduled maintenance that Axisnow expects to cause material temporary unavailability of the Services, Customer may subscribe to service updates via the Status Page.

2.9. Unauthorized Use. Customer will promptly notify Axisnow if Customer becomes aware of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of or access to the Services.

2.10. Managed Subdomains. Axisnow permits Customers to specify a subdomain of a Axisnow-managed domain (“Subdomain”) to be associated with their Customer account. Customer acknowledges that it has no ownership rights with respect to Subdomains, and Axisnow may, in its sole discretion, modify the name of a Subdomain assigned to Customer at any time (for example, to remove profanity or address a trademark infringement claim). Before doing so, Axisnow will endeavor to provide Customer with a reasonable opportunity to select a different Subdomain name. Customer will not use any profanity or other inappropriate terms in Subdomains.

3. SUBSCRIPTIONS, FEES & PAYMENT TERMS

3.1. Subscription Term. Services provided to Customer on a subscription basis (“subscriptions”) will be provided for the duration specified on the Order Form for that subscription (“Subscription Term”). Unless otherwise agreed, each of Customer’s subscriptions will automatically renew for periods equal to the initial Subscription Term specified for that subscription until Customer cancels its subscription through the billing page accessible through certain Admin Accounts, or until either party provides written notice of non-renewal to the other party at least 30 days prior to a renewal date.

3.2. Fees. Customer will pay to Axisnow all Fees when due. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement or prohibited by applicable law, payment obligations are non-cancelable and Fees paid are not refundable (including for any unused portion of a Subscription Term).

3.3. Payment Terms. Payment terms are typically specified on an Order Form. If not otherwise specified on an Order Form, the following payment terms will apply:

(a) all monetary amounts on an Order Form are denominated in SGD;

(b) all Fees will be paid by Customer in SGD;

(c) invoices are due within 30 days of the invoice date; and

(d) if Customer’s billing method is by invoice, Fees will be invoiced in full by Axisnow upon execution of the applicable Order Form (including for multi-year subscriptions) and upon renewal.

3.4. Overdue Payments. All past due payments, except to the extent reasonably disputed, will accrue interest at the highest rate allowed under applicable law but in no event more than 1.0% per month.

3.5. Purchase Orders. If Customer issues to Axisnow a purchase order upon entering into an Order Form, any such purchase order is for Customer’s internal purposes only, and any terms in such purchase order are rejected by Axisnow, do not amend this Agreement, and have no effect. If Customer requests Axisnow to reference a purchase order number on a Axisnow invoice, such reference is included for administrative convenience only.

3.6. Price Changes. Axisnow may change the Fees that Axisnow charges for any Services that automatically renew by giving Customer at least 30 days’ prior written notice of such changes, provided that any such changes will not take effect earlier than the next renewal date for the applicable Service.

3.7. Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, Axisnow’s Fees do not include any taxes, levies or duties of any nature, including value-added, sales, use, or withholding taxes, or similar government fees or taxes assessable in any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying any Taxes associated with Customer’s purchases under this Agreement, except for those assessable against Axisnow based on Axisnow’s income, property, or employees. If Axisnow has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this Section 3.7, Axisnow will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides Axisnow with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Where applicable, Customer will provide its VAT/GST registration number on an Order Form to confirm the business use of the ordered services.

3.8. Withholding Tax. Taxes will not be deducted from payments to Axisnow, except as required by applicable law, in which case Customer will increase the amount payable as necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings, Axisnow receives and retains (free from any liability for Taxes) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. Upon Axisnow’s request, Customer will provide to Axisnow its proof of withholding tax remittance to the respective tax authority.

3.9. Card Payments. If Customer provides Axisnow with credit or debit card (“Payment Card”) details for the payment of Fees, Customer: (a) represents that it is authorized to use such Payment Card; (b) authorizes Axisnow to charge such Payment Card on a periodic basis for the Fees when due, including upon sign up for paid Services and upon renewal; (c) agrees to keep its Payment Card details valid and current; and (d) agrees to pay any processing fees that are charged by third-party payment processors or Payment Card issuers. If Customer’s Payment Card is declined when Axisnow attempts to charge it, Axisnow may try to charge it again at a later time. If Axisnow does not receive payment, Axisnow may suspend or terminate Customer’s Services.

3.10. Treatment of Overages. During a Subscription Term, Axisnow may review Customer’s usage of the Services (e.g. the number of User Accounts provisioned by Customer). Customer agrees to pay for any usage beyond the amounts previously purchased by Customer (“Overage”). Unless otherwise agreed in writing, if additional User Accounts are required to be purchased by Customer to address any Overages, Axisnow may bill Customer for such additional User Accounts at the per unit pricing in effect at the time (as specified in the Order Form for the underlying subscription), and prorated for the portion of the Subscription Term remaining at such time.

4. FREE TRIALS, FREE SUBSCRIPTIONS & BETA SERVICES

4.1. Free Trials & Free Subscriptions. If Customer receives a free trial of the Services (including participating in a free proof of concept), Customer may only use those Services for the duration of that trial for the purpose of evaluating the desirability of purchasing the Services. Unless otherwise specified in an Order Form, either party may cancel a free trial before it ends by providing written notice to the other. Axisnow may terminate any Services under a free subscription plan with or without notice to Customer at any time, for any reason, including due to account inactivity.

4.2. Beta Services. If Customer chooses to receive Beta Services, Customer agrees to comply with any written requirements provided by Axisnow regarding those Beta Services. Beta Services are provided for Customer’s internal testing and evaluation purposes only and are not intended for use in production environments, with sensitive data, or as mission critical systems. Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Beta Services are not ready for commercial release, may not operate properly, and may contain errors; (b) Axisnow is under no obligation to release a commercial version of the Beta Services and may unilaterally abandon development of Beta Services without liability to Customer; and (c) that Customer uses Beta Services at its own risk. Customer is solely responsible for maintaining and protecting all data and information that is processed by Beta Services. Customer will be responsible for all costs and expenses required to backup and restore any data and information that is lost or corrupted as a result of Customer’s use of the Beta Services.

5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

5.4. Publicity. Customer allows Axisnow to identify Customer as a Axisnow customer by its name, logo and/or other type of mark on the Axisnow website and other marketing materials. Any goodwill arising from the use of Customer’s name and marks by Axisnow will inure to Customer’s benefit.

5.5. Feedback. If Customer provides Axisnow with any feedback about Axisnow’s products and services, Axisnow may use that feedback and incorporate it into its products and services without any obligation to Customer.

6.2. Personal Data Exports. To the extent Personal Data from the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland or the United Kingdom (collectively, “European Region”) is processed by AxisNow in the course of providing the Services, the Standard Contractual Clauses (as defined in the DPA) may apply as set forth in the DPA. If the Standard Contractual Clauses are applicable according to the DPA, entry into this Agreement will also be treated as execution of the Standard Contractual Clauses (including its annexes) as described in the DPA.

6.3. Customer Privacy Obligations. Customer represents and warrants that it is entitled to transfer Customer Data to AxisNow for the purpose of AxisNow processing any Personal Data contained in the Customer Data in accordance with this Agreement.

6.4. Account Consolidation. If Customer is an individual who registers for the Services using an email address with the same business email domain as an organization that is an existing or prospective AxisNow customer, Customer agrees that AxisNow may disclose Customer’s identity and business email address to such existing AxisNow customer for the purpose of facilitating the consolidation of that customer’s AxisNow accounts.

6.5. Security. AxisNow will maintain appropriate administrative, physical, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing, and accidental loss of and damage to Customer Data.

Definitions. “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by a party (“Discloser”) to the other party (“Recipient”) in connection with this Agreement that is either designated by Discloser as confidential at the time of disclosure, or would reasonably be understood by Recipient to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances under which it was disclosed.

(c) not disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information to any third party, except to Recipient and its Affiliates’ personnel, agents, and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and that have entered into written agreements (or are otherwise bound by legal obligations) no less protective of such Confidential Information than this Agreement, and to such other recipients as the Discloser may approve in writing; and

The provisions of this Section 10 (Indemnification) state AxisNow’s entire liability and constitute the other party’s sole and exclusive financial remedy for any indemnification claims.

Neither party will be liable for inadequate performance to the extent caused by events beyond the reasonable control of that party, including denial-of-service attacks, systemic electrical, telecommunications or other utility failures, embargoes, strikes, riots, pandemics, epidemics, natural disasters, acts of God, war, terrorism, and governmental action.

14.7. Interpretation. This Agreement was prepared and written in English. Any non-English translations of this Agreement which may be made available are provided for convenience only and are not valid or legally binding. The use of section headings in this Agreement is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of particular provisions. The use of the words “includes,” “including,” “such as,” “for example,” and similar terms are deemed not to limit what else might be included.

14.8. Notices. All notices must be in writing and will be deemed given when: (a) personally delivered; (b) verified by written receipt, if sent by postal mail with verification of receipt service or courier; (c) received, if sent by postal mail without verification of receipt; or (d) verified by automated receipt or electronic logs if sent by email, provided that no bounce or other technical error message was received in response.

Notices to AxisNow must be sent to AxisNow PTE.LTD. marked to the attention of the Legal Department, with a copy emailed to legalnotices@Axisnow.io. Email is insufficient for providing non-routine legal notices such as indemnification claims, breach notices, and termination notices (“Non-Routine Notices”) to AxisNow.

Notices to Customer may be sent to the email address associated with Customer’s designated primary Admin Account for the relevant Service. Customer may grant approvals, permission, waiver, extensions and consents by email. Customer consents to receiving certain electronic communications from AxisNow in connection with Customer’s use of the Services. Customer agrees that any notices or other communications sent to Customer electronically will satisfy any legal notice requirements. Billing-related notices (including notices of overdue payments) may be sent to the relevant billing contact designated by Customer. Notices to Users may be sent to the email address associated with that User’s account. Customer and Users must keep contact details associated with User accounts and billing contacts current and accurate, and Customer will notify AxisNow in writing of any changes to such details.

14.9. Precedence. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence shall be: (1) the applicable Order Form, and (2) the remainder of this Agreement. This Customer Agreement does not apply to the parties if the parties have entered into a separate agreement that expressly excludes the applicability of these online terms.

14.10. Relationship. The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between the parties.

14.11. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated from this Agreement to the minimum extent necessary and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

14.12. Third Party Beneficiaries. There are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

14.13. Updates. AxisNow may make changes to this Agreement from time to time for a variety of reasons, such as to reflect changes in the law or our business. If a revision materially and adversely alters Customer’s rights as determined by AxisNow in its sole discretion, AxisNow will use reasonable efforts to provide written notice to Customer prior to the change becoming effective, such as by emailing the email address associated with an Admin Account or by messaging Customer through the Services. Any material adverse changes to this Agreement will become effective on the date set forth in such notice and, unless otherwise specified, all other changes will become effective upon posting on the AxisNow website. The most current version of this Agreement for the Services will be posted on the AxisNow website. If Customer does not wish to agree to any changes made to this Agreement, Customer should stop using the Services and notify AxisNow, because by continuing to use the Services after the date the changes become effective, Customer indicates its agreement to be bound by the updated Agreement.

14.14. Waiver. A party’s failure or delay to enforce a provision under this Agreement is not a waiver of its right to do so later. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective only if in writing and, in the case of a waiver by AxisNow, signed by AxisNow. Any cause of action arising out of or related to the Services by the Customer against AxisNow must commence within 1 year after the cause of action accrues.
