IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE AGREEMENT, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE OPENEXCHANGE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. FOR CLARITY, EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY AGREES THAT THE AGREEMENT IS LEGALLY BINDING UPON IT.

These Terms of Service (“Terms of Service”) are entered into by and between OpenExchange, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“OpenExchange”), and the entity placing an order for and/or using the OpenExchange Subscription Services and/or One-time Services (“Customer” or “you”). If you are ordering and/or using OpenExchange Subscription Services and/or One-time Services on behalf of your company, you represent that you are authorized to accept this Agreement on behalf of your company, and all references to “you” or “Customer” reference your company. Company and Customer are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”. All defined terms used herein shall have the meanings accorded to such terms herein, including as set forth on Exhibit A (Definitions) attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Agreement; Effective Date: These Terms of Service together with all exhibits and addenda hereto and documents referenced and linked to herein and all Order Forms and Statements of Work entered into by the Parties hereunder (collectively, the “Agreement”) permit Customer to order OpenExchange Subscription Services and/or One-time Services from OpenExchange and sets forth the terms and conditions between the Parties with respect thereto, and governs the provision and use of Subscription Services and/or One-time Services ordered by Customer. In the event of any conflict between the provisions in these Terms of Service and any Order Form or SOW, the terms of such Order Form or SOW, as applicable, shall prevail. In the event of any conflict between the provisions in these Terms of Service and any exhibits and addenda hereto or any documents referenced and linked to herein, the terms of such exhibits and addenda hereto or any documents referenced and linked to herein, as applicable, shall prevail. No terms or conditions stated in a Customer purchase order or in any other Customer provided business forms or order documentation shall be incorporated into or form any part of this Agreement, and all such terms or conditions shall be null and void. The “Effective Date” of the Agreement is the date which is the earlier of (a) Customer’s initial access to any Subscription Services and/or One-time Services or (b) the effective date of the first Order Form or SOW that references these Terms of Service and is entered into between Customer and OpenExchange.

Modifications to Terms of Service: From time to time, OpenExchange may modify these Terms of Service; provided, that any modifications which are adverse to Customer will not become effective until renewal of Customer’s then-current Subscription Term or entry into a new Order Form or SOW. OpenExchange will use reasonable efforts to notify Customer of any adverse changes through communications via Customer’s account, email, posting on the OpenExchange website or through the OpenExchange Platform, or other means. Customer may be required to click to accept or otherwise agree to the modified Terms of Service before renewing a Subscription Term or entering into a new Order Form, and, in any event, Customer’s continued use of the OpenExchange Products and/or Services after the updated version of these Terms of Service go into effect shall constitute Customer’s acceptance of such updated version.

Orders by Affiliates: The Parties agree that an Affiliate of Customer may place orders for Subscription Services and/or One-time Services by executing a separate Order Form and/or SOW with OpenExchange in which the Customer Affiliate agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement, in which case all references to “Customer” in the Agreement shall mean the Customer Affiliate which executes the Order Form and/or SOW; provided, however, that Customer shall remain responsible for the compliance of its Affiliates with the terms of the Agreement and the Order Forms and Statements of Work, including without limitation payment of all fees due thereunder.

1.1.    Event Management Services; One-Time Services; Subscription Services. OpenExchange will make available to Customer those Event Management Services, Subscription Services and One-Time Services subscribed to by Customer pursuant to Order Forms and Statements of Work executed by the Parties from time to time. Event Management Services may be provided as Subscription Services or One-Time Services as specified in an Order Form or SOW. Customer shall have the right to use any work product delivered as part of One-Time Services (“Deliverables”) in support of Customer’s authorized use of the Event Management Services and/or OpenExchange Platform, as applicable, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement including without limitation the licenses, rights and restrictions set forth in Section 1.2 below and in any applicable Solutions Schedule and SOW. The Parties acknowledge that OpenExchange does not perform custom development work as part of the Professional Services and that the Deliverables provided by OpenExchange in the performance of the Professional Services may include, among other things, configuration and implementation of the OpenExchange Offering, addition of Customer’s name, logo and other branding to web interfaces, modifications to the OpenExchange Offering, training materials and Documentation. Accordingly, unless otherwise expressly agreed in an SOW, OpenExchange retains all right, title and interest in and to any such Deliverables, including without limitation all Intellectual Property Rights therein and thereto, excluding any Customer Content and Customer trademarks included therein.
