Terms of Service

Mavdawg Master Service Agreement

YOUR USE OF AND ACCESS TO THE SERVICES AND ASSOCIATED SOFTWARE (COLLECTIVELY, THE “SERVICE”) OF MAVDAWG HOLDINGS LLC.

BY UTILIZING THE SERVICE YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS MASTER SERVICE AGREEMENT AND ALL INCORPORATED POLICIES (THE “AGREEMENT”).

This Agreement is made between Mavdawg Holdings, LLC., a Delaware corporation, and each party (a “Customer”) that orders the Service through an online registration page or an order form (each an “Order Form”). The Order Form may contain additional terms and conditions and information regarding the Service Customer is ordering.

1. THE SERVICE

1.2 Mavdawg grants to Customer the right and permission to access and use the Service subject to a valid subscription, pursuant to the terms of the Order Form, and as further described herein.

1.3 Following execution of an Order Form by Mavdawg and Customer, Mavdawg will provide Customer access to the Service per the Order Form, which will allow the provisioning of end-user accounts for authorized Customer personnel (“Users”) and for Customer to control or manage certain features of the Service. Users’ access to the Service is limited and personal. Customer is solely responsible for actions taken by Users or by anyone using Customer’s accounts and passwords.

1.4 Mavdawg uses commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the highest Service availability. However, Mavdawg cannot guarantee that the Service will operate in an uninterrupted or error-free manner. Mavdawg performs Service maintenance and uses commercially reasonable effort to schedule system down-time to off-peak hours and to avoid service interruptions and delays. Mavdawg shall provide access to the Service at least 95% of the time in any calendar month (“Service Level”), except for planned outages, which such planned outages shall not exceed 12 hours per month. The Service shall not be deemed inaccessible if such inaccessibility is due to Customer’s action or systems (e.g., due to internal firewalls, internet connectivity issues, etc.).

2. DATA SECURITY

Mavdawg will maintain reasonable physical and technical safeguards to prevent unauthorized disclosure of or access to Content, in accordance with industry standards. Mavdawg will, without undue delay, notify Customer if it becomes aware of unauthorized access to Content. Mavdawg will not access, view or process Content except (a) as provided for in this Agreement; (b) as authorized or instructed by Customer in writing, (c) as required to perform its obligations under this Agreement; or (d) as required by applicable law. Mavdawg has no other obligations with respect to Content.

Mavdawg takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for the Content.  Customer shall be solely responsible for the Content.

3.4 Customer may not access or use the Service if it is a direct competitor of Mavdawg or for monitoring the Service’s availability, performance or functionality, or for any other benchmarking or competitive purposes.

4. FEES

4.1 In consideration for the right to use the Service under the terms herein, Customer will pay license fees (“Fees”) in the amounts and pursuant to the payment terms described in the Order Form(s). Customer agrees that in the event Mavdawg is unable to collect the Fees owed to Mavdawg for the Service, Mavdawg may take any other steps it deems necessary and reasonable to collect such Fees and that Customer will be responsible for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by Mavdawg in connection with such collection activity, including collection fees, court costs and attorneys’ fees. Except to the extent otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement or in an Order Form, all obligations to pay Fees are non-cancelable and all payments are non-refundable. All Fees will be due on Customer’s receipt of Mavdawg’s invoice.

Mavdawg may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, add or remove such links. Mavdawg has no control over these third-party websites and applications. Mavdawg does not endorse, sponsor or confirm their content, and Mavdawg is not responsible or liable for any communication or transaction that Customer may make with them.

7. WARRANTIES; DISCLAIMER

7.1 Each of Customer and Mavdawg represents, warrants and covenants to the other that: (a) it has the full corporate right, power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, and such execution and performance does not and will not violate any other agreement to which it is a party, and (b) this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation.

7.2 Mavdawg represents and warrants that the Service, when used in accordance with this Agreement, (i) will perform in all material respects as specified in Section 1 above (ii) will be virus-free and (iii) will not infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for breach of such warranty shall be for Mavdawg to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct or to replace the affected Service with a component or service of similar functionality. The above warranty is conditioned upon Customer notifying Mavdawg in writing within 15 days of discovery of any alleged defect in the Service together with a documented example of such defect. This warranty shall not apply to any portion of the Service that (a) has been subject to Customer’s abuse or misuse of the Service, (b) is related to a virus, worms and the like that has not been introduced by Mavdawg, or (c) was used without authorization.

7.3 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED ABOVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MAVDAWG EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE ABOVE, MAVDAWG MAKES NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO (I) THE SERVICE MEETING CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS, OR BEING UNINTERRUPTED, CONTINUOUS, TIMELY, OR ERROR FREE; (II) WHETHER CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE SERVICE OR THE CONTENT WILL GENERATE ANY PARTICULAR RESULTS OR CONSEQUENCES; OR (III) WHETHER CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE SERVICE IS LAWFUL IN ANY PARTICULAR JURISDICTION.

8. CONFIDENTIALITY

8.1 Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 8.2, “Confidential Information” means all information provided by a party to other party, whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure, and excluding any information that was or has become publicly available without the receiving party’s actions or inactions. Customer’s Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the Content.

8.2 Information will not be considered Confidential Information if the receiving party can establish by documentary evidence that the information is or was: (a) publicly available through no act or omission of the receiving party; (b) in the receiving party’s lawful possession prior to disclosure by the disclosing party and not obtained either directly or indirectly from the disclosing party; (c) lawfully disclosed to the receiving party by a third party without restriction on disclosure; or (d) independently developed by the receiving party without use of or access to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information.

8.3  Each party will hold the other party’s Confidential Information in strict confidence, use it only subject to the terms of this Agreement, allow its use only by the receiving party’s employees and consultants who have signed in advance a confidentiality agreement containing terms similar to this Agreement and on a need-to-know basis and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, not make the other party’s Confidential Information available to any third party unless to the extent required by applicable law, implement adequate security measures to ensure against unauthorized access to, use or copying of the other party’s Confidential Information, and notify the other party in writing of any misuse or misappropriation of the other party’s Confidential Information of which the receiving party may become aware. If the receiving party is required by applicable law or legal process to disclose any Confidential Information, it shall, prior to making such disclosure, use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the disclosing party of such requirements to afford the disclosing party the opportunity, at the disclosing party’s sole cost and expense, to obtain a protective order or other remedy.  Each party acknowledges that the other party may be irreparably harmed if Confidential Information of the other is disclosed in breach of this Section and that such other party may not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of such an actual or threatened breach.  Therefore, each party agrees that the other party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against any actual or threatened breach of this Section by the other party without the necessity of showing damages or showing that monetary damages would not afford an adequate remedy.

9. TERM AND TERMINATION

9.1 The initial subscription term of the Agreement will be as set forth and agreed by the parties in the Order Form.

9.2 Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party (i) materially breached this Agreement and has not cured such breach within 30 days after receiving notice (if curable), without prejudice and in addition to any right or remedy that the non-defaulting party may have under this Agreement or the applicable law, 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. 9.3 At the end of the initial subscription term, all of Customer’s subscriptions to the Service will renew automatically for an additional period of the same duration as the expiring subscription term unless Customer or Mavdawg notifies the other party in writing at least 30 days prior to the end of the then-current subscription term of its desire not to renew. Mavdawg will charge renewal Fees to Customer’s payment method on record as of the subscription renewal date.

9.4 Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement (a) Customer will cease use of the Service and all rights granted to Customer under this Agreement will terminate; (b) upon written request, Mavdawg will make Customer’s recorded calls available for download or export within 30 days following such termination, and (c) all sections of this Agreement that by their nature should survive termination will survive termination of the Agreement, including accrued rights to payment, confidentiality, disclaimers, and limitations of liability. Thereafter, Mavdawg will be under no obligation to maintain any Customer data, or make any data available to Customer and Mavdawg may delete any of the Content.

9.5 In the event of a termination due to uncured breach by Mavdawg pursuant to Section 9.2, Mavdawg will refund unused prepaid Fees applicable to the remainder of the subscription term.

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, (i) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; IN EACH CASE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, EVEN IF THE PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE; AND (ii) EACH PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY MAVDAWG FROM CUSTOMER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE APPLICABLE CLAIM. THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY AND ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

11. INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Mavdawg will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Customer, its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, obligations, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that Customer incurs in responding to a third-party claim or demand (“Claim”) alleging that the Service (excluding any Content) infringes or misappropriates any third party’s trademark, United States patent, copyright or trade secret. If a court of competent jurisdiction or Mavdawg reasonably determines that any such claim prevails or is likely to prevail, Mavdawg may, at Mavdawg’s sole discretion and expense: (a) procure the right for Customer to continue to use the Service; (b) replace or modify the applicable Service so that it no longer infringes or misappropriates, as applicable, such patent or copyright; or (c) terminate this Agreement and refund any prepaid Fees for the period subsequent to such termination, on a pro-rated basis.

11.2 Customer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Mavdawg, its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates, from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, obligations, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to any third-party claims with respect to (a) Customer’s or its user’s misuse of the Service in violation of the terms and conditions herein, and (b) the Content, including without limitation any unlawful, misleading, false, or inaccurate information in the Content.

11.3 As a condition to such indemnification the indemnitee will provide the other party with written notice of such claim. The indemnifying party will not enter into any settlement or compromise of any such claim without the indemnitee’s prior written consent. The indemnifying party may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification. In all events, each party will cooperate with the other in the defense of any claim.

12. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT END USE PROVISIONS

Mavdawg provides the Service, including related software and technology, for ultimate federal government end use solely in accordance with the following: Government technical data and software rights related to the Service include only those rights customarily provided to the public as defined in this Agreement. If a government agency has a need for rights not conveyed under these terms, it must negotiate with Mavdawg to determine if there are acceptable terms for transferring such rights, and a mutually acceptable written addendum specifically conveying such rights must be included in any applicable contract or agreement.

13. GOVERNING LAW AND EXCLUSIVE COURTS

This Agreement will be governed by laws of the State of New York without regard to its choice of law or conflicts of law principles. Customer and Mavdawg consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the courts in the Southern District of New York except that temporary relief to enjoin infringement of intellectual property rights may be sought in any court where such infringement has occurred. EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION (ON THE GROUNDS OF LACK OF JURISDICTION, FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR OTHERWISE) TO THE EXERCISE OF SUCH JURISDICTION OVER IT BY ANY SUCH COURTS.

14. FORCE MAJEURE

Neither party will be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement for any unanticipated failure that is unable to be mitigated and is caused by reasons beyond a party’s reasonable control (including without limitation acts of God, pandemic, war or civil disturbance), and it will notify the other party as soon as practicable in writing of such failure.

15. GENERAL
