7.             Fees and Payment.

A.            Fees and Payment.

(1)           Customer will pay OpenReel all fees described in all SOWs (the “Fees”) in accordance with the terms therein. If Customer believes that OpenReel has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact OpenReel no later than 60 days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, to receive an adjustment or credit. All Fees are non-refundable, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement. Fees are based on services purchased and not actual usage, but Customer’s use of the Services may be subject to usage limits in accordance with the Services package Customer selects. If Customer exceed its usage limits, extra charges may apply.

(2)           Unless otherwise set out in the SOW, Fees are payable annually in advance. OpenReel may bill Customer through an invoice, in which case, unless otherwise specified in a SOW, full payment for invoices issued in a given month 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 Services. Customer will pay all Fees in U.S. Dollars. If Customer elects to make payment via credit card, additional fees may apply. OpenReel may suspend access to the Services if Customer fails to make any payment due within 10 business days after OpenReel provides notice of the failure. Suspension of the Services by OpenReel under this section does not relieve Customer of its payment obligations under this Agreement. OpenReel will not be liable to Customer nor to any third party for any suspension of the Services pursuant to this section.

B.            Taxes. Other than federal and state net income taxes imposed on OpenReel, Customer will bear all taxes, duties, and other governmental charges relating to the Services.

8.             Term and Termination.

A.            Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the effective date of the first SOW and will continue until terminated in accordance with this Agreement (the “Term”). If a SOW Term is not specified in a SOW, the SOW Term will be 12 months. Upon expiration of a SOW, the SOW Term will automatically renew for a term equivalent to the initial SOW Term, unless otherwise specified in the SOW or if either party notifies the other in writing of its desire to terminate the applicable SOW at least 30 days before the expiration of the then-current SOW Term.

B.            Termination for Breach or Insolvency. Either party may terminate this Agreement or any SOW effective upon written notice to the other party, if the other party materially breaches this Agreement (or a SOW) 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. OpenReel may terminate or suspend this Agreement or any part of it immediately upon written notice to Customer without a cure period if Customer breaches Sections 3 (Restrictions and Responsibilities) or 6 (Confidentiality). 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.

C.            Termination for Change of Control. OpenReel may terminate this Agreement if OpenReel ceases to provide the Services or if OpenReel consummates a Change of Control Transaction. “Change of Control Transaction” means any: (1) merger, sale of outstanding shares of stock of OpenReel, or similar transaction or series of related transactions in which a third party acquires majority voting power of OpenReel’s shares of stock; or (2) sale or transfer of all or substantially all of OpenReel’s assets.

D.            Effect of Termination. Termination of this Agreement will automatically terminate all active SOWs, but termination of a single SOW will not result in termination of this Agreement or any other SOWs. Upon the termination of this Agreement or a SOW, all rights and licenses granted by OpenReel to Customer under this Agreement or the applicable SOW 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 liability for 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.

E.            Post-Termination Obligations. Upon any termination of this Agreement or any SOW, OpenReel will make all Customer Data then held on Customer’s behalf by OpenReel pursuant to this Agreement or the applicable SOW available to Customer for electronic retrieval for a period of 14 days. After such period, OpenReel may, but is not obligated to, delete any such Customer Data. If Customer terminates this Agreement for OpenReel’s material breach, or if OpenReel terminates this Agreement under Section 10.C (IP Infringement), Customer will pay a pro rata amount of the Fees for any terminated Services or Implementation Services up to and including the last day on which the Services or Implementation Services are provided, and OpenReel will refund any Fees paid for Services or Implementation Services not provided. If this Agreement is terminated for any other reason, OpenReel will not refund Customer any Fees paid, and within 10 days after such termination, Customer will pay OpenReel all remaining Fees owed under any terminated SOWs. The following sections of this Agreement will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: Sections 1 (Definitions), 2.A (SOWs), 2.F (Subcontractors), 3 (Restrictions and Responsibilities), 4 (Ownership), 5.B (Usage Data), 6 (Confidentiality), 7 (Fees and Payment), 8.C (Effect of Termination), 8.E (Post-Termination Obligations), 10 (Indemnification), 11 (Limitations of Liability), 12 (Arbitration), 14 (Compliance with Applicable Law; Export), and 15 (Miscellaneous).

C.            Customer Warranties. Customer represents and warrants to OpenReel that: (1) Customer has the necessary rights to authorize OpenReel to use the Customer Data in accordance with this Agreement, and such use by OpenReel of Customer Data does not and will not infringe any third-party right, including any Intellectual Property Right, privacy right, or right of publicity; (2) Customer will use the Services in compliance with the Documentation and Applicable Law; (3) Customer’s Final Videos will comply with Applicable Law and Customer will only use and distribute its Final Videos in accordance with Applicable Law; and (4) Customer has and will maintain all necessary rights, consents, licenses, and waivers required to create, record, submit, publish, and use the Final Videos for Customer’s intended purposes, including without limitation consents, licenses and waivers from: (i) copyright owners, artists, actors, directors, performers, writers, producers or any other individuals appearing in Final Videos; (ii) public performance rights collection organizations (e.g., SOCAN, ASCAP, BMI or SESAC); and (iii) the owners of musical compositions and sound recordings embodied in Final Videos.

To the extent Customer uses the Services to collect Customer Data from a child under the age of 13, Customer represents and warrants that Customer is solely responsible for complying with the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (“COPPA”), and that Customer will obtain advance written consent from all parents or guardians whose children under 13 will be accessing or using the Services. When obtaining consent, Customer will provide parents and guardians with OpenReel’s Privacy Policy and Customer will keep all consents on file and provide them to OpenReel upon request.

D.            Disclaimer. Except for the limited warranties described in this Section 9 (Warranties and Disclaimer), OpenReel makes no other express or implied warranties with respect to the Services, Implementation Services, Documentation, Usage Data, or otherwise, and specifically disclaims all implied and statutory warranties, including the implied warranties of non-infringement of third-party rights, merchantability, satisfactory quality, accuracy, title, and fitness for a particular purpose, and any warranties arising from course of dealing, usage, or trade practice.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of warranties, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to Customer.

10.          Indemnification.

A.            By OpenReel.

(1)           Defense. At Customer’s option and request, OpenReel will defend Customer from any actual or threatened third-party claim, proceeding, suit, action, or inquiry arising out of or based on an allegation that Customer’s use of the Services in accordance with this Agreement infringe any third-party Intellectual Property Rights (an “OpenReel Indemnifiable Claim”). If Customer requests OpenReel to defend it from any OpenReel Indemnifiable Claim, Customer will: (1) give OpenReel prompt written notice of the OpenReel Indemnifiable Claim; (2) grant OpenReel full and complete control over the defense and settlement of the OpenReel Indemnifiable Claim; (3) provide assistance in connection with the defense and settlement of the OpenReel Indemnifiable Claim as OpenReel may reasonably request; and (4) comply with any settlement or court order made in connection with the OpenReel Indemnifiable Claim.

Customer may participate in the defense of an OpenReel Indemnifiable Claim at its own expense and with counsel of its own choosing.

(2)           Indemnification. OpenReel will indemnify Customer from and pay: (1) all damages, costs, fines, judgments, expenses, and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by Customer in any OpenReel Indemnifiable Claim; (2) all out-of-pocket costs (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by Customer in connection with the defense of an OpenReel Indemnifiable Claim (other than attorneys’ fees and costs incurred without OpenReel’s consent after OpenReel has accepted defense of the OpenReel Indemnifiable Claim); and (3) all amounts that OpenReel agrees to pay to any third party to settle any OpenReel Indemnifiable Claim.

B.            By Customer.

(1)           Defense. At OpenReel’s option and request, Customer will defend OpenReel and its officers, directors, employees, agents, service providers, licensors, and affiliates (collectively, the “OpenReel Indemnified Parties”) from any actual or threatened third-party claim, proceeding, suit, action, or inquiry arising out of or based on: (a) Company’s breach of Section 9 (Warranties and Disclaimer) or (b) the development, production, and exploitation of Final Videos (each, a “Customer IndemnifiableClaim”).

Notwithstanding the previous sentence, Customer will not enter into any settlement that involves an admission of guilt or liability of OpenReel without OpenReel’s prior written consent. OpenReel may participate in the defense of a Customer Indemnifiable Claim at its own expense and with counsel of its own choosing.

(2)           Indemnification.

C.            IP Infringement. If the Services are held to infringe (or if OpenReel reasonably believes will be held to infringe) any third-party Intellectual Property Rights, OpenReel may, at its option and expense: (1) modify the Services to make them non-infringing; or (2) obtain a license that permits Customer to continue using the Services. If OpenReel does not believe either option is reasonably practicable, OpenReel may terminate this Agreement. OpenReel will have no obligation for any infringement of Intellectual Property Rights relating to the Services to the extent that arising out of: (1) use of the Services in combination with other products or services; (2) designs, requirements, or specifications required by or provided by Customer; (3) use of the Services in breach of this Agreement or outside the scope of the license granted to Customer; (4) Customer’s failure to use the Services in accordance with the Documentation; (5) any modification of the Services not made or authorized in writing by OpenReel; or (6) use of Third-Party Services. Section 10.A states OpenReel’s sole and exclusive liability, and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, for the actual or alleged infringement of any third party Intellectual Property Rights arising from Customer’s use of the Services.

11.          Limitations of Liability.

A.         Exclusion of Damages. Neither OpenReel nor its suppliers, officers, affiliates, representatives, contractors, or employees will be liable to Customer for any consequential, incidental, special, or exemplary damages arising out of or related to this Agreement, including lost profits, loss of business, or loss of data, even if OpenReel is apprised of the likelihood of such damages occurring.

B.         Damages Cap. OpenReel’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, will not exceed the Fees paid by Customer to OpenReel during the six months immediately preceding the claim (determined as of the date of any final judgment in an action). Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, death or personal injury, or fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

C.         Basis of the Bargain. This Section 11 (Limitations of Liability) is to allocate the risks of this Agreement between the parties. This allocation is reflected in the pricing offered by OpenReel to Customer and is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between the parties. Each of these provisions is severable and independent of all other provisions of this Agreement. The limitations in this Section 11 (Limitations of Liability) will apply notwithstanding the failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy in this Agreement.

D.         Applicability. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of damages. This Section 11 (Limitations of Liability) will apply to Customer solely to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

12.          Arbitration. Any claim, dispute, or controversy between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement which cannot be satisfactorily settled by the parties will be finally and exclusively settled by binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) upon the written request of either party. The Arbitration will be administered under the Arbitration Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted (the “Rules”). The Arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator selected in accordance with the Rules. The seat of the Arbitration will be in New York, New York. The Arbitration will be conducted in English. The Arbitration award will be final and binding upon the parties, and judgment upon such award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The Arbitration proceedings and any award will be each party’s Confidential Information. The arbitrator’s award may include compensatory damages against either party but the arbitrator will not be authorized to and will not award punitive damages against either party. The parties agree to keep confidential the existence of the arbitration, the arbitral proceedings, the submissions made by the parties, and the decisions made by the arbitrator, including its awards, except as required by Applicable Law and to the extent not already in the public domain. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (A) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (B) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

13.          Publicity. OpenReel may publicly list Customer as a customer of OpenReel and use Customer’s trademark, trade name, and logo for marketing or promotional purposes and in other communication with existing or potential OpenReel customers, resellers, or investors.

14.          Compliance with Applicable Law; Export. Each party will comply with all Applicable Law in connection with exercising its rights or performing its obligations under this Agreement, including applicable export laws. As defined in FAR section 2.101, the Services and Documentation are “commercial items” and according to DFAR section 252.2277014(a)(1) and (5) are deemed to be “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation.” Consistent with DFAR section 227.7202 and FAR section 12.212, any use modification, reproduction, release, performance, display, or disclosure of such commercial software or commercial software documentation by the U.S. Government will be governed solely by this Agreement and will be prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement.

15.          Miscellaneous.

A.            Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by New York law without reference to its conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Agreement. Subject to Section 12 (Arbitration), all claims arising under this Agreement will be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of New York, New York. The parties submit to the jurisdiction in those courts. In any proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees.

B.            Non-Solicitation. During the Term and for three years thereafter, Customer will not directly or indirectly solicit for employment or otherwise induce, influence, or encourage any employee or contractor of OpenReel to terminate their engagement with OpenReel. This Section 15.B will apply solely to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

C.            Injunctive Relief.

“a” means the percentage of Availability in the month;

“b” means the total number of hours in the month;

“c” means the total number of Excused Downtime hours in the month; and

“d” means = the total number of hours the Services are unavailable for reasons other than Excused Downtime in the month.
