Service, including, but not limited to, “browser” software that supports a data security protocol compatible
with the protocol used by SYSTEMIZE!. Until notified otherwise by SYSTEMIZE!, Customer agrees to use software

across networks not owned and/or operated by SYSTEMIZE!, including, but not limited to, the Internet.
2.7. Links/Third-Party Data. The Service may provide, or third parties may provide, links to other World

successful utilization of the Service, including but not limited to providing Customer with User Guides,
Knowledge Base and online help, as well as optional and “for fee” training classes. SYSTEMIZE! also offers
customer support and professional services consultation. Customer acknowledges that SYSTEMIZE! has
extensive experience helping Customers improve utilization and realization of benefits of the Service, and
that not following the advice of SYSTEMIZE! or engaging SYSTEMIZE! or other SYSTEMIZE! authorized implementation
partner in the provision of professional services may substantially limit Customer’s ability to successfully
utilize the Service or to enjoy the power and potential of the Service.
2.9. Trademark Information. SYSTEMIZE!®, the SYSTEMIZE! logo®, DataBuilder®, SmartFilters®, RecentBar®,
and other SYSTEMIZE! service marks, logos and product and service names are marks of

without SYSTEMIZE!’s express prior written permission.
2.10. Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, confidential information shall include
the terms of this Agreement, Customer Data, and any information that is clearly identified in writing
at the time of disclosure as confidential (“Confidential Information”). Each party agrees: (a) to keep
confidential all Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other party or by a third-party; (b) not to use
the Confidential Information of the other party except to the extent necessary to perform its obligations
or exercise rights under this Agreement; and (c) to protect the confidentiality thereof in the same manner
as it protects the confidentiality of similar information and data of its own (at all times exercising at least
a reasonable degree of care in the protection of such Confidential Information) and to make Confidential
Information available to authorized persons only on a “need to know” basis. Either party may disclose
Confidential Information on a need-to-know basis to its contractors who have executed written agreements
requiring them to maintain such information in strict confidence and use it only to facilitate the performance
of their services in connection with the performance of this Agreement. Confidential Information
shall not include information which: (1) is known publicly; (2) is generally known in the industry before
disclosure; (3) has become known publicly, without fault of the recipient, subsequent to disclosure by the
disclosing party; or (4) the recipient becomes aware of from a third party not bound by non-disclosure
obligations to the disclosing party and with the lawful right to disclose such information to the recipient.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.10 will not prohibit the disclosure of Confidential Information
to the extent that such disclosure is permitted by law or order of a court or other governmental authority
or regulation. With respect to any information received by either party from the other as a result of any
other relationship between the parties other than in the course of performance under this Agreement
(i.e., business development, partnership, alliance, etc.), the parties will abide by the terms and conditions
of any applicable Nondisclosure Agreement (or similar agreement) executed between the parties.
2.11 Suite Upgrades. In the event that during the Term Customer upgrades its suite to one of higher
functionality, Customer agrees that it cannot subsequently revert to the original suite without incurring
significant professional services charges to manually affect that conversion which is equivalent to
implementing a new account.
2.12 Storage Limits. SYSTEMIZE! currently limits the amount of database storage to 10GB. Any customers
using database storage in excess of this limit will be charged additional fees.
2.13 License From Customer. Customer understands and agrees that it is SYSTEMIZE!’s practice to make
tape back up copies of the Customer Data in Customer’s account. Customer acknowledges and agrees
that SYSTEMIZE! may store and maintain such data for approximately one year (unless legally required to
maintain such Customer Data longer). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Customer
grants SYSTEMIZE! a limited non-exclusive non-transferable (except in connection with an assignment under
Section 9 of the signed agreement) license to copy, store, record, transmit, maintain, display, view, print, or
otherwise use Customer Data to the extent necessary to provide the Service to Customer. Customer agrees
that the license to store and maintain Customer Data shall survive the termination of this Agreement for
approximately one year for the sole purpose of storing backup Customer Data at SYSTEMIZE!’s offsite storage
facility. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, SYSTEMIZE! agrees that, as between Customer and SYSTEMIZE!,
Customer Data shall at all times be considered the property of Customer.
3. Warranties.
3.1. Warranty Of Functionality. SYSTEMIZE! warrants to Customer during the Term that the Service will
achieve in all material respects the functionality described in the User Guides applicable to the products
purchased by Customer and that such functionality will be maintained in all material respects in subsequent
upgrades to the Service. SYSTEMIZE! does not warrant that the Service will be error-free. Customer’s sole
and exclusive remedy for SYSTEMIZE!’s breach of this warranty shall be that SYSTEMIZE! shall be required to use
commercially reasonable efforts to modify the Service to achieve in all material respects the functionality
described in the User Guides and other related documentation and if SYSTEMIZE! is unable to restore such
functionality, Customer shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement and shall be entitled to receive a
pro-rata refund of the license fees paid for under the Agreement for its use of the Service for the terminated
portion of the Term. SYSTEMIZE! shall have no obligation with respect to a warranty claim unless notified of
such claim within sixty (60) days of the first instance of any material functionality problem, and such notice
must be sent to billing@SYSTEMIZE!.com.
3.2. Service Level Warranty. SYSTEMIZE! warrants that during the Term that SYSTEMIZE! will meet the service
level specified in the “Service Level Commitment” listed on Schedule I hereto, which is hereby incorporated
by reference. In the event that SYSTEMIZE! fails to achieve the applicable service level in any month, Customer
will be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to a credit in accordance with the terms set forth in the
Service Level Commitment. Customer agrees that SYSTEMIZE!’s system logs and other records shall be used for
calculating any service level events.
3.3. Security, Data Integrity And Backup Warranty. SYSTEMIZE! warrants during the Term of this
Agreement that SYSTEMIZE! will use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard and accurately maintain
Customer Data, utilizing at a minimum industry standard security and backup procedures. In the event of
a breach of this provision, SYSTEMIZE! will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the Customer’s Data
or restore the Customer’s Data as quickly as possible but in any case not to exceed three (3) business days.
3.4. Non-Infringement Warranty. SYSTEMIZE! warrants that it is the sole owner and has full power and
authority to grant the license and use of the Service and other rights granted by the Agreement to
Customer with respect to the Service and that neither the performance by Customer in its utilization of
the Service, nor the license of and authorized use by Customer of the Service as described herein will in
any way constitute an infringement or other violation of any copyright or trademark of any third party.
3.5. Other Warranty. SYSTEMIZE! warrants that the Service shall be free of viruses, Trojan horses, worms,
spyware, or other malicious code or components.
4. Disclaimer Of Warranties. EXCEPT AS STATED IN SECTION 3 ABOVE, SYSTEMIZE! DOES NOT REPRESENT
THAT CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE SERVICE WILL BE SECURE, TIMELY, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE
OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ALL ERRORS IN THE SERVICE
AND/OR DOCUMENTATION WILL BE CORRECTED OR THAT THE SYSTEM THAT MAKES THE SERVICE
AVAILABLE WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. THE WARRANTIES STATED IN
SECTION 3 ABOVE ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES OFFERED BY SYSTEMIZE!. THERE ARE NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. EXCEPT AS STATED IN SECTION 3
ABOVE, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED TO CUSTOMER ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND
IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE ONLY. CUSTOMER ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR DETERMINING
WHETHER THE SERVICE OR THE INFORMATION GENERATED THEREBY IS ACCURATE OR SUFFICIENT
FOR CUSTOMER’S PURPOSES.
5. Limitations Of Liability. CUSTOMER AGREES THAT THE CONSIDERATION WHICH SYSTEMIZE! IS CHARGING
HEREUNDER DOES NOT INCLUDE CONSIDERATION FOR ASSUMPTION BY SYSTEMIZE! OF THE RISK OF
CUSTOMER’S INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE
TO ANYONE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR
INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE OR KIND (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OR DISCLOSURE OF
CUSTOMER DATA, LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS, OR LOSS OF OTHER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE) ARISING
FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL CAUSE OF
ACTION TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT. Except with regard to amounts due under this Agreement, and a party’s breach of Section
2.10, the maximum liability of either party to any person, firm or corporation whatsoever arising out of
or in the connection with any license, use or other employment of the Service, whether such liability
arises from any claim based on breach or repudiation of contract, breach of warranty, negligence, tort, or
otherwise, shall in no case exceed the equivalent of 12 months in license fees applicable at the time of
the event. In the event of a breach of Section 2.10 of this Agreement, the maximum liability of either party
shall be an amount equal to five (5) times the equivalent of 12 months of license fees applicable at the
time of the event. The essential purpose of this provision is to limit the potential liability of the parties
arising from this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the limitations set forth in this Section are
integral to the amount of fees charged in connection with the license of the Service and that, were
SYSTEMIZE! to assume any further liability other than as set forth herein, such fees would of necessity be set
substantially higher. Certain states and/or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or
limitations of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the exclusions set forth above may not
apply to Customer. THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT APPLY TO
EITHER PARTY’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6 BELOW
6. Indemnification.
6.1. Infringement. SYSTEMIZE! will indemnify, defend and hold Customer harmless from and against any
and all costs, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees)
(collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or in connection with a claim, suit, action, or proceeding brought by
any third party against Customer which arise out of or result from the infringement of any copyright,
trademark, or misappropriation of a trade secret relating to the Service; provided that Customer (a)
promptly gives SYSTEMIZE! notice of the claim, suit, action, or proceeding; (b) gives SYSTEMIZE! sole control of
the defense and related settlement negotiations; and (c) provides SYSTEMIZE! with all reasonably available
information and assistance necessary to perform SYSTEMIZE!’s obligations under this paragraph. If the Service
is held to infringe, SYSTEMIZE! will, at its own expense, in its sole discretion use commercially reasonable
efforts either (a) to procure a license that will protect Customer against such claim without cost to
Customer; or (b) to replace the Service with a non-infringing Service. Provided that SYSTEMIZE! complies with
this Section 6.1, Customer shall be entitled as its sole and exclusive remedy to terminate the Agreement
and receive a pro-rata refund of the license fees paid for under the Agreement for the terminated portion
of the Term.
6.2. Disclosure Of Customer Data. SYSTEMIZE! will indemnify, defend and hold Customer harmless from
and against any Losses arising out of or in connection with a claim, suit, action, or proceeding brought by
any third party against Customer which arise out of or result directly from SYSTEMIZE!’s gross negligence in
preventing unauthorized access to confidential Customer Data or SYSTEMIZE!’s willful misconduct in disclosing
Customer Data, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with a claim by a third
party alleging a breach of confidentiality. SYSTEMIZE! will indemnify Customer up to an amount equal to five
(5) times the equivalent of 12 months of license fees applicable at the time of the event, from and against
any Losses incurred by Customer with respect to any third party claim, suit, action, or proceeding arising
out of or relating to SYSTEMIZE!’s breach of Section 5.10 of this Agreement (which breach does not rise to
the level of gross negligence in preventing unauthorized access to confidential Customer Data or willful
misconduct in disclosing such confidential Customer Data as described in this Section 6.2). SYSTEMIZE!’s
indemnification obligations under this Section 6.2 are expressly premised upon Customer (a) promptly
giving SYSTEMIZE! notice of any such third party claim, suit, action, or proceeding; (b) giving SYSTEMIZE! sole
control of the defense and related settlement negotiations; and (c) promptly providing SYSTEMIZE! with all
reasonably available information and assistance necessary to perform SYSTEMIZE!’s obligations under this
Section 6.2. Provided that SYSTEMIZE! complies with this Section 6.2, Customer shall be entitled as its sole
and exclusive remedy to terminate the Agreement and receive a pro-rata refund of the license fees paid
for under the Agreement for the terminated portion of the Term.
6.3. Customer’s Indemnity. Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold SYSTEMIZE! harmless from and
against any and all Losses arising out of or in connection with a claim, suit, action, or proceeding brought
by any third party against SYSTEMIZE! which arise out of or result from a claim by a third-party (i) alleging that
the Customer Data or any trademarks or service marks other than SYSTEMIZE! Marks, or any use thereof,
infringes the intellectual property rights or other rights, or has caused harm to a third party, or (ii) arising
out of Customer’s breach of Section 2.4 and 2.10 above, provided that SYSTEMIZE! (a) promptly provides
Customer notice of the claim, suit, action, or proceeding; (b) gives Customer sole control of the defense
and related settlement negotiations; and (c) provides Customer with all reasonably available information
and assistance necessary to perform Customer’s obligations under this paragraph.
6.4. Survival. The indemnification obligations contained in this Section 6 shall survive termination of this
Agreement for one year.
7. Suspension/Termination.
7.1. Suspension For Delinquent Account. SYSTEMIZE! reserves the right to suspend Customer’s access to
and/or use of the Service (and that of any other customer of SYSTEMIZE! that controls, is controlled by, or is
under common control with Customer) (a “Customer Affiliate”)) for any accounts for which any payment
is due but unpaid but only after SYSTEMIZE! has provided Customer two (2) delinquency notices, and at least
thirty (30) days have passed since the transmission of the first notice (“Delinquent Account Status”).
SYSTEMIZE! also reserves the right to suspend Customer’s access and/or use of the Service in the event that
any Customer Affiliate account is in Delinquent Account Status. Customer agrees that SYSTEMIZE! shall not
be liable to Customer or to any Customer Affiliate or other third party for any suspension of the Service
resulting from Customer’s nonpayment of fees as described in this Section 7.1.
7.2. Suspension For Ongoing Harm. Customer agrees that SYSTEMIZE! may with reasonably contemporaneous
telephonic notice to Customer suspend Customer’s access to the Service if SYSTEMIZE! reasonably
concludes that Customer is using the Service to engage in denial of service attacks, spamming, or using
the Service to engage in illegal activity, and/or Customer’s use of the Service is causing immediate, material
and ongoing harm to SYSTEMIZE! or others. In the extraordinary event that SYSTEMIZE! suspends Customer’s
access to the Service, SYSTEMIZE! will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the issues causing the
suspension of Service. Customer agrees that SYSTEMIZE! shall not be liable to Customer nor to any third party
for any suspension of the Service under such circumstances as described in this Section 7.2.
7.3. In The Event of Breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days formal
written notice to the other party in the event of a material breach of any provision of this Agreement by
the other party. Such notice by the complaining party shall expressly state all of the reasons for the claimed
breach in sufficient detail so as to provide the alleged breaching party a meaningful opportunity to cure
such alleged breach (“Notice”). Following receipt of such Notice, the alleged breaching party shall have
thirty (30) days to cure such alleged breach, after which time the Agreement shall terminate only if the
alleged breach was not cured. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Customer shall have no
rights to continue use of the Service. If this Agreement is terminated by Customer for any reason other
than a termination expressly permitted by this Agreement, Customer agrees that SYSTEMIZE! shall be entitled
to all of the fees due under this Agreement for the entire Term. If this Agreement is terminated as a result
of a breach on SYSTEMIZE!’s part, SYSTEMIZE! shall refund the pro rata portion of any fee paid by Customer for
the terminated portion of the Term.
7.4. Handling Of Customer Data In The Event Of Termination. Customer agrees that following
termination of Customer’s account and/or use of the Service, SYSTEMIZE! may immediately deactivate
Customer’s account and that following a reasonable period of not less than 90 days shall be able to delete
Customer’s account and related Customer Data from SYSTEMIZE!’s “live” site, while retaining Customer Data
offsite storage. However, in the event that Customer’s Service with SYSTEMIZE! terminates, SYSTEMIZE! will grant
Customer temporary, limited access to the Service for the sole purpose of permitting Customer to retrieve
lawful Customer Data, provided that Customer has paid in full all good faith undisputed amounts owed to
SYSTEMIZE!. Customer further agrees that SYSTEMIZE! shall not be liable to Customer nor to any third party for
any termination of Customer access to the Service or deletion of Customer Data, provided that SYSTEMIZE! is
in compliance with the terms of this Section 7.4.
8. Modification To Or Discontinuation Of The Service. SYSTEMIZE! reserves the right at any time and from
time to time to modify, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof). In the event that
SYSTEMIZE! modifies the Service in a manner which removes or disables a feature or functionality on which
Customer materially relies, SYSTEMIZE!, at Customer’s request, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
substantially restore such functionality to Customer. In the event that SYSTEMIZE! is unable to substantially
restore such functionality (unless enjoined from doing so by a court of competent jurisdiction), Customer
shall have the right to terminate the Agreement and receive a pro-rata refund of the license fees paid
under the Agreement for the terminated portion of the Term. Customer acknowledges that SYSTEMIZE!
reserves the right to discontinue offering the Service at the conclusion of Customer’s then current Term.
Customer agrees that SYSTEMIZE! shall not be liable to Customer nor to any third party for any modification
of the Service as described in this Section 8.
9. Modification To The Terms Of Service. These Terms of Service may be amended by SYSTEMIZE! in its
discretion by providing thirty days advance notice to a user designated as an administrator of your
SYSTEMIZE! account either: (a) as a note on the screen presented immediately after completion of the log
in authentication credentials at the log in screen, or (b) by email to the registered email address provided
for the administrator(s) for Customer’s account.
Schedule I
SERVICE LEVEL COMMITMENT FOR SUBSCRIBERS OF SYSTEMIZE!
Service Level Commitment
SYSTEMIZE! commits to provide 99.5% uptime with respect to the Customer’s Service during each month of the
Term, excluding regularly scheduled maintenance times.
If in any month this uptime commitment is not met by SYSTEMIZE! and Customer was negatively impacted
(i.e., attempted to log into or access the Service and failed due to the unscheduled downtime of the Service),
SYSTEMIZE! shall provide, as the sole and exclusive remedy, a service credit equal to one month’s fee for the use
of the Service.
Scheduled and Unscheduled Maintenance
Regularly scheduled maintenance time does not count as downtime. Maintenance time is regularly scheduled
if it is communicated in accordance with the notice section set forth below at least two full business days in
advance of the maintenance time. Regularly scheduled maintenance time typically is communicated at least 48
hours in advance, and takes less than 10-15 hours each quarter.
SYSTEMIZE! in its sole discretion may take the Service down for unscheduled maintenance and in that event
will attempt to notify customer in advance in accordance with the Notice section set forth below. Such
unscheduled maintenance will be counted against the uptime guarantee.
Credit Request
In order to receive a credit under this service level commitment, Customer must request it simply by emailing
SYSTEMIZE! at billing@systemize-software.com, within five days of the end of the applicable quarter. If Customer submits
a credit request and does not receive a prompt automated response indicating that the request was received,
Customer must resubmit the request because the submission was not properly received and will not result in
a credit. Customers who are past due or in default with respect to any payment or any material contractual
obligations to SYSTEMIZE! are not eligible for any credit under this Service Level Commitment. The service credit is
valid for up to two years from the quarter for which the credit was issued. SYSTEMIZE! shall calculate any service
level downtime using SYSTEMIZE!’s system logs and other records.
Updates/Notice
This Service Level Commitment may be amended by SYSTEMIZE! in its discretion but only after providing thirty
days advance notice. Notices will be sufficient if provided to a user designated as an administrator of your
SYSTEMIZE! account either: (a) as a note on the screen presented immediately after completion of the log in
authentication credentials at the log in screen, or (b) by email to the registered email address provided for the
administrator(s) for Customer’s account.
