Last updated October 12, 2022
This Platform Access and Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) governs the rights to use the software as a service platform (such platform, along with all related updates, upgrades and documentation are referred to collectively as the “Product”) of Paramify, Inc, a Delaware corporation (“Paramify”) on a subscription basis, as well as other related services that may be provided by Paramify. A “Customer” is a person or legal entity that has executed an Order Form (as defined below). (Customer and Paramify are referred to collectively herein as the “parties” and individually as a “party”). This Agreement is effective as of the earlier of (i) Customer’s initial use of the Product; or (ii) the effective date set forth in the order form or other agreement (“Order Form”) pursuant to which Customer has agreed to access the Product on a subscription basis (such date, the “Effective Date”). The Product is protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. This Agreement is also subject to the provisions of Paramify’s Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”).
1. PRODUCT ACCESS
1.1 Provision of the Product. Paramify agrees to provide Customer with access to the Product on a subscription basis for a set term as set forth on the Order Form (“Contract Term”).
1.2 Accounts. In order to access and use certain features of the Product, Customer must register for an account (“Account”). Use of and access to the Product, in whole or in part, is permitted to those persons designated by Customer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (“Permitted Users”). If Customer is given login information to access the Product, Customer shall require that all Permitted Users keep user ID and login information strictly confidential and not share such information with any unauthorized person. Customer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of its Account login information and is fully responsible for Permitted User activities that occur under the Customer’s Account.
1.3 Account Access. Customer acknowledges that while the security of Customer’s Account will be maintained through the use of logical authentication mechanisms, it is possible for Customer’s Account to be accessed by unauthorized third parties via communication between Customer and Paramify using the internet, other network communications, facilities, telephone, or other electronic means. Customer may permit its independent contractors and consultants who are not competitors of Paramify (“Contractors”) and Affiliates (as defined below) to serve as Permitted Users, provided Customer remains responsible for compliance by each such Contractor or Affiliate with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any such use of the Product by such Contractor or Affiliate is for the sole benefit of Customer. “Affiliate” means any entity under the control of Customer where “control” means ownership of or the right to control greater than 50% of the voting securities of such entity.
1.4 General Restrictions. Customer shall not: (a) rent, lease, copy, provide access to or sublicense the Product to a third party or use the Product to provide a service to a third-party, (b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise seek to obtain the source code or APIs to the Product, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law (and then only upon advance notice to Paramify), (c) modify the Product, or create any derivative product from any of the foregoing, (d) remove or obscure any product identification, proprietary, copyright or other notices contained in the Product (including any reports or data printed from the Product), (e) incorporate the Product into any other offering (whether software as a service or otherwise), or (f) publicly disseminate information or analysis regarding the performance of the Product.
1.5 Enterprise risk management or information security and Legal Advice. Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that any information provided to the Customer from time to time regarding or derived from any content (including Customer Data as defined in this Agreement) is not developed or provided by Paramify as either legal or enterprise risk management or information security advice and will not be used or treated by Customer as legal or enterprise risk management or information security advice. Customer agrees not to construe any content or materials listed on the Product as legal, insurance or enterprise risk management or information security advice or as an offer to sell, or as a solicitation of an offer to buy, any information security product or instrument. The Product and content made available through the Product are intended to be used by the Customer for document management purposes only. Paramify shall have no liability for any legal or enterprise risk management or information security or other decisions made based upon Customer's use of the Product.
1.6 Export. The Product may be subject to U.S. export control laws and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries. Customer agrees not to export, reexport, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any U.S. technical data acquired from Paramify, or any products utilizing such data, in violation of the United States export laws or regulations.
1.7 Security and Privacy. Paramify will maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Customer Data processed by Paramify in connection with Product as further described in the DPA.
Both Parties agree to comply with the terms of the DPA in connection with the processing of Customer Data by Paramify.
1.8 Hosting Services. Paramify will provide the hosting services for the Product ("Hosting Services") through a third party hosting facility (such as AWS) and may update the content, functionality and user interface of the Hosting Services from time to time in its sole discretion and in accordance with this Agreement. Customer will be solely responsible for the data entered in the Product, whether entered by the Customer or by Paramify on behalf of the Customer.
1.9 Hosting Service Access. In order to use the Product, Customer must have or obtain access to the internet. Customer agrees that Paramify is not providing Customer with access to the internet in order to use the Product and that Customer is solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining such internet access and for providing all equipment necessary to obtain and maintain such internet access. Paramify does not and cannot control the flow of data to or from Paramify’s network, designated hosting facility and/or other portions of the internet. Such flow depends in large part on the performance of internet services provided or controlled by third parties. At times, actions or inactions of such third parties can impair or disrupt Customer’s connections to the internet (or portions thereof). Paramify agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to take any actions it deems appropriate to remedy and avoid such events. However, Paramify cannot guarantee that such events will not occur. Accordingly, Paramify disclaims any and all liability resulting from or related to such events.
2. CUSTOMER DATA
2.1 Generally. “Customer Data” means any information or other data of any type which is provided by Customer to Paramify in connection with providing the Product. Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, content and legality of all Customer Data and its use by Customer.
2.2 Use of Customer Data. Customer represents and warrants to Paramify that Customer has sufficient rights in the Customer Data to authorize Paramify to process, distribute and display the Customer Data as contemplated by this Agreement and the functionality of the Product, and that the Customer Data does not infringe the rights of any third party. In connection with Customer’s use of the Product, certain features may permit Customer to interact or share Customer Data with third party websites or services. If Customer chooses to transmit Customer Data or provide any other information to such third parties, Customer agrees to be bound by any applicable third party terms of use, and Paramify accepts no responsibility or liability for any such third party services. Both parties agree to comply with the terms of the DPA in connection with the Customer Data.
2.3 Rights in Customer Data. As between the parties, Customer shall retain all right, title and interest (including any and all intellectual property rights) in and to the Customer Data as provided to Paramify. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Customer hereby grants to Paramify a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to use, copy, store, transmit, modify, create derivative works of and display (a) the Customer Data solely to the extent necessary to provide the Product to Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing Customer agrees that Paramify may, to the extent permissible under applicable law and this Agreement, use for its business purposes derivative works of the Customer Data and all right, title and interest (including any and all intellectual property rights) in and to such derivative works using de-identified Customer Data shall be owned by Paramify.
3. OWNERSHIP
3.1 This is a subscription agreement for use of the Product and not an agreement for sale. Customer acknowledges that it is obtaining only a limited right to the Product and that irrespective of any use of the words “purchase”, “sale” or like terms hereunder no ownership rights are being conveyed to Customer under this Agreement or otherwise and Customer agrees that Paramify or its suppliers retain all right, title and interest (including all patent, copyright, trade secret and other intellectual property rights) in and to the Product, documentation related to the Product (“Documentation”), Professional Services deliverables and any and all related and underlying software (including interfaces), databases (including data models, structures, non-Customer specific data and aggregated statistical data contained therein), technology, reports and documentation (collectively, “Paramify Technology”). Further, Customer acknowledges that the Product is offered as an on-line, hosted solution, and that Customer has no right to obtain a copy of the Product itself.

4. ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY

If Customer objects to the increase, then Customer may terminate this Agreement effective on expiration of the then-current Contract Term. Customer acknowledges that the expiration of any discount or incentive programs to which Customer was previously entitled shall not constitute a fee increase or otherwise require notice thereof. Except as expressly set forth in Section 7 (Limited Warranty), all fees are non-refundable. Paramify’s fees are exclusive of all shipping costs and Customer is required to pay any sales, withholding, or similar taxes or levies, other than taxes based on the income of Paramify.

Paramify does not warrant that Customer’s use of the Product will be uninterrupted or error-free, nor does Paramify warrant that it will review the Customer Data for accuracy or that it will preserve or maintain the Customer Data without loss.

Paramify shall indemnify and hold harmless Customer, its licensors and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against all third-party claims, causes of action, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with: (i) violation by Paramify of Paramify’s representations and warranties in this Agreement; or (ii) breach by Paramify of any terms of this Agreement including the DPA, provided that Paramify shall have received from Customer: (a) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for Paramify to respond without prejudice); (b) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense, or settlement (if applicable) of such claim; and (c) all reasonable necessary cooperation of Customer. If Customer’s use of the Product is, or in Paramify’s opinion is likely to be, enjoined due to a claim of infringement, or if required by settlement, Paramify may, in its sole discretion: (a) substitute substantially functionally similar products or services; (b) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Product; or if (a) and (b) are commercially impracticable, (c) terminate the Agreement and refund to Customer the fees paid by Customer for the portion of the Contract Term which was paid by Customer but not rendered by Paramify.

THIS SECTION 10 SETS FORTH PARAMIFY’S SOLE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT.
10.2 Customer Indemnification. Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless Paramify, its licensors and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against all third party claims, causes of action, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with: (i) any action taken (or not taken) by Customer based upon use of the Product; (ii) any Customer Data; (iii) any service or product offered by Customer in connection with or related to the Product; (iv) violation by Customer of Customer’s representations and warranties in this Agreement; or (v) breach by Customer of any terms of this Agreement including the DPA, provided that Customer shall have received from Paramify: (i) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for Customer to respond without prejudice); (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense, or settlement (if applicable) of such claim; and (iii) all reasonable necessary cooperation of Paramify.
11. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical information it obtains (“Receiving Party”) from the disclosing party (“Disclosing Party”) constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Any Paramify Technology, performance information relating to the Product, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information of Paramify without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence and not use or disclose any Confidential Information. Customer Data shall be deemed Confidential Information of Customer without any marking or further designation subject to the terms of Section 2 above. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence and not use or disclose any Confidential Information. The Receiving Party’s nondisclosure obligation shall not apply to information which the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information; or (v) is required to be disclosed pursuant to a regulation, law or court order (but only to the minimum extent required to comply with such regulation or order and with advance notice to the Disclosing Party). For the avoidance of doubt, aggregated and anonymized data derived in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed not to be Confidential Information of Customer. The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 11 and the confidentiality terms contained in any other agreements between the parties, the terms of this Section 11 shall prevail.
