Customer Acknowledgements, Representations, and Warranties: Customer acknowledges, understands and agrees that Futuri will provide the Services “AS IS” without any warranty or guaranty, express or implied.

4.0 INDEMNIFICATION

4.1. Indemnification: The Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Futuri and its affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees, representatives, and their successors in interest and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, damages, or expenses of whatever form or nature, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of legal defense, whether direct or indirect, that they, or any of them, may sustain or incur as a result of (i) any act or omission of the Customer; (ii) a breach by Customer of any representation, warranty, and/or agreement with any Indemnified Party; (iii) failure by Customer to pay any and all applicable taxes, customs, duties, tariffs, and the like arising from the transactions set forth in these Terms and Conditions and/or the Agreement; (iv) any and all corrupt data, viruses, malware, or security breaches directly or indirectly introduced by the Customer or resulting from the Customer’s failure to take commercially reasonable measures to prevent the same; (v) a violation by Customer (any of its officers, directors, employees or agents) of any applicable law, regulation, or order of the United States or any other applicable government or quasi-governmental authority; and/or (vi) any claim that Customer property or any portion thereof infringes or misappropriates any third party patents, copyrights, trademark, and/or intellectual property or other proprietary rights.

The Indemnified Party will provide, at no additional cost to the Indemnified Party, the assistance, information and authority necessary to assist the Customer in its obligations. Customer may not settle any such matter without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party as to any settlement that imposes an obligation on, or requires any admission by, the Indemnified Party. Failure of the Indemnified Party to promptly notify the Customer will not relieve the Customer of its obligations except to the limited extent such delay materially prejudices the Customer.

Commencement of Relationship and Provision of Services: The execution of an Agreement by Customer and acceptance thereof by Futuri establishes the respective rights and obligations of the parties. If there is no executed Agreement but Customer nevertheless uses Services, Customer is deemed to have consented to all terms of the Agreement, including these Terms and Conditions and any documents incorporated therein by reference.

Confidential Information shall not include any information that: (i) corresponds in substance to information developed by Customer without reference to the Confidential Information or can be demonstrated by Customer to be in the Customer’s possession prior to receipt of the same from Futuri; (ii) now is or hereafter becomes publicly known through no fault of the Customer; or (iii) otherwise lawfully becomes available to the Customer from a third party not known by the Customer to be under an obligation of confidentiality to Futuri.

Customer shall not at any time during the Term and any time thereafter do or permit to be done any act or thing which impairs or may impair the rights of Futuri with respect to Futuri’s Intellectual Property. Customer will never represent that it has any ownership in any of Futuri’s Intellectual Property. Customer expressly agrees that all of the use and goodwill of the Intellectual Property shall inure to the sole benefit of Futuri.

5.7. Injunctive Relief: The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the extent of damages in the event of a breach of the restrictive covenants contained in these Terms and Conditions may be difficult or impossible to ascertain and that there may be no adequate remedy at law in the event of any such breach. Consequently, in the event of such breach, the non-breaching party shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have at law, to seek an injunction or other equitable relief to enforce any or all of the covenants contained in these Terms and Conditions.

5.8. Reservation of Remedies: The rights, powers and remedies that may be given or reserved to the parties by these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to all other and further remedies provided by law. These Terms and Conditions and the Agreement shall not be construed to deprive the parties of any other rights, powers and other remedies otherwise given by law or at equity. No delay or failure by Futuri in exercising any right or remedy and no partial or single exercise of such right or remedy shall constitute a waiver by Futuri of such right or any other rights in these Terms and Conditions and/or the Agreement. No consent by Futuri to a breach of any express or implied term of these Terms and Conditions and/or the Agreement shall constitute a consent to any prior or subsequent breach of the same or any other term.

6.0 BILLING AND PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

6.1. Customer Responsibility for Payment:  Customer shall pay Futuri for Services at the rates and frequencies set forth in the Agreement.

6.2. Service Start Date:  Futuri will notify Customer when Services are available for use.

6.3. Taxes:  Service rates and charges are exclusive of all taxes, fees, tax-related surcharges and tax-like surcharges. Customer shall promptly pay any and all applicable sales and use taxes, customs, duties, and tariffs on the Services provided by Futuri to Customer.

6.4. Late Payment Fee on Past Due Amounts:  Except as expressly provided otherwise, invoices not paid in full by the due date will be past due and subject to an additional charge equal to the lesser of a one and one half percent (1.5%) per month late payment fee or the maximum monthly rate permitted by law on past­ due balances.

6.5. Credit Balances on Closed Accounts:  It a Customer whose account for Service has been closed has a credit balance owing, Futuri will transfer the credit balance to another account of the Customer, if there is one, or will mail a check for the credit balance owed to the Customer if Futuri believes it has a valid and current address for the Customer.  If Futuri is not certain it has a valid and current address for the Customer, it will include a notice in the final invoice mailed to the Customer’s last known address according to Futuri’s records, asking that the Customer verify the address so Futuri can mail a check for the credit balance owing, or it will write to the Customer at that address and request Customer verification of the address. Verification may be achieved by a Customer calling a designated telephone number or writing to a specified address. Upon receiving verification, a check for the credit balance owing will be mailed to Customer.  If the final invoice or the notification letter is returned to Futuri by the post office as undeliverable, or if no Customer response is received within thirty (30) days of the mailing of the final invoice or the notification letter, Futuri may apply a closed account maintenance charge of $5.00 per month beginning in the second monthly billing period following the month in which the account was closed.  This charge will apply until either the Customer requests a refund in writing or the credit balance owed is exhausted.

6.6. Recovery of Collection Costs:  Unless otherwise prohibited by law, Customer shall reimburse Futuri for any costs incurred by Futuri in undertaking any collection activity, including, but not limited to, the reimbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees.

7.0 TERMINATION/DEFAULT

7.1. Consequences of Termination.  Termination of the Agreement in accordance with the foregoing provisions will not affect (i) the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to invoices issued by Futuri prior to the effective date of the termination, (ii) the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to intellectual property rights, confidentiality, indemnification non-competition, non-circumvention, non-solicitation, and governing law of the parties as set forth herein, or (iii) terminate liabilities arising out of conduct prior to the actual date of termination.  Otherwise, all rights and obligations of the parties shall cease to exist upon termination of the Agreement.  In the event any amount due from Customer to Futuri remains unpaid upon termination of the Agreement, Customer irrevocably authorizes Futuri to sell any and all goods of the Customer in possession of Futuri and in all other property of Customer in Futuri’s possession anywhere in the world, by any and all methods, manners and media, including, without limitation, by digital marketing and internet sales.  Customer acknowledges and agrees that Futuri and/or Futuri’ affiliates or representatives may sell such goods and property of the Customer in accordance with terms and conditions as Futuri determines from time to time in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, purchase price, payment terms, and/or shipping terms.  Futuri is irrevocably authorized to bill, invoice and collect all sales proceeds from the sale of such goods and property of the Customer by Futuri, its affiliates and representatives.  Upon satisfying any and all amounts due and owed to Futuri by Customer, including costs and expenses incurred in selling such goods and property and collecting upon such sales, Futuri shall pay the excess proceeds, if any, to Customer.

7.2. Termination Not Exclusive Remedy:  Any remedy provided to Futuri shall not be construed to be an exclusive remedy and shall not deprive Futuri of its ability to pursue other available remedies. The parties agree that Futuri’s damages in the event of Service cancellation or termination would be difficult or impossible to ascertain and, therefore, any early cancellation or termination charges invoiced to Customer by Futuri are intended to serve as liquidated damages rather than penalties.

7.3. Return of Equipment: In the event that the Agreement is terminated for any reason, Customer shall return any and all Futuri equipment to Futuri in good operating condition within thirty (30) days from the date of such termination. In the event that Futuri does not receive said equipment in good working condition, within thirty (30) days from the date of such termination, Customer agrees to immediately pay Futuri Two Thousand Four Hundred and 00/100 Dollars as liquidated damages for failure to timely return Futuri equipment in good working condition.  In the event that Futuri has to engage an outside third party collection service or attorney to recover the equipment, the Customer agrees that the Customer shall be responsible for payment of any such collection fees.
