Supplemental Terms for services that Customer does not purchase or use do not apply to Customer.

 

  1. Use of the Services. Yavrio delivers “software as a service” and other services on a subscription basis. Yavrio grants Customer a nonexclusive, nontransferable right to access and use the Service(s) during the Term, solely for Customer’s internal business operations. Yavrio reserves all other rights. Customer shall not use any services that are not set forth in an in-application licence request actioned by Customer and accepted by Yavrio, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement. If Customer has a sandbox Account, Customer shall use it solely for testing non-production data and for internal business purposes only. Payments shall not be made from sandbox or test accounts.
  2. Customer’s Account. Yavrio shall enable an account for Customer to access the Service(s) (“Account”). Customer shall designate a specific person or persons authorized by Customer to manage and support the Account, including the creation of usernames and passwords for Authorized Users. Customer is solely responsible for maintaining the status of its Authorized Users. Customer and its Authorized Users shall maintain the confidentiality of all usernames, passwords, keys, tokens, access, and Account information under their control. Except to the extent caused by Yavrio’s breach of the Agreement, including its obligations under Section 8 (Confidential Information), Yavrio is not responsible for unauthorized access to the Account. Customer shall contact Yavrio promptly if (i) Customer reasonably believes that the Account has been compromised, including any loss, theft, or unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of Account information or (ii) Customer becomes aware of any other breach of security in relation to Customer’s Account information or the Services that may have occurred or is reasonably likely to occur.
  3. Yavrio’s Responsibilities. Yavrio shall: (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, , except for: (1) planned downtime (scheduled with at least 7 days’ notice and at a time intended to minimize impact to Yavrio customers) and (2) any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond Yavrio’s reasonable control, including internet service provider failures or delays or denial of service attacks against which Yavrio maintains commercially reasonable prevention controls.
  4. Customer’s Responsibilities. Customer (i) shall ensure the accuracy and completeness of Customer’s initial and ongoing configuration and setup of the Services; (ii) shall ensure that the Services are compatible with Customer’s business and systems requirements; (iii) shall ensure the accuracy, quality, legality, completeness, and integrity of the Customer Data provided by Customer and the means by which Customer acquired it; (iv) shall ensure the information Customer provides in connection with the Services, such as billing information and purchase orders (excluding Customer unique output that is returned by the Services to Customer), is current, accurate, and complete; and (v) is responsible for the provision, maintenance, and use of Customer’s hardware, network, internet connectivity, and software. Customer shall comply with the Acceptable Use Policy available at https://www.yavr.io/acceptable-use, with all Documentation, and with all Applicable Laws. Customer shall ensure that the Authorized Users and Representatives of Customer (and, if Customer enables its Affiliates to use the Services, its Affiliates, their Authorized Users, and their Representatives) comply with all of Customer’s obligations under the Agreement, and Customer shall be responsible for their acts and omissions relating to the Agreement as though they were those of Customer.
  5. Customer Affiliates. Customer may enable its Affiliates to use the Services. Unless Yavrio accepts an Order Document from an Affiliate or otherwise agrees in writing, all use of the Services by Customer’s Affiliates will be under Customer’s Account, Yavrio will invoice Customer and not its Affiliates for the Services, and Customer shall pay all invoices to Yavrio . When an Affiliate of Customer uses the Services, all references to “Customer” in the Agreement relating to access or use of, or restrictions or limitations on access or use of, the Services refer to the Affiliate. Among Customer and its Affiliates, only an entity specified on an Order Document may (i) take any action to enforce such entity’s rights and obligations arising from the Agreement, or (ii) request technical support for such entity with respect to the Services.
  6. Yavrio Affiliates. Yavrio may perform the Services itself or through any of its Affiliates. When an Affiliate of Yavrio provides the Services, all applicable references to “Yavrio” in the Agreement relating to provision of the Services refer to such Affiliate. Yavrio is responsible for its Affiliates’ compliance with the terms of the Agreement, and Yavrio shall be responsible for their acts and omissions relating to the Agreement as though they were those of Yavrio. Yavrio or its Affiliate may invoice Customer for the Services, and Customer shall pay all invoices to the Yavrio Affiliate that issued the invoice. Customer and its Affiliates shall bring any claims it or they may have solely against Yavrio and not against any Yavrio Affiliate providing or invoicing for the Service.
  7. Subcontractors. Yavrio may use subcontractors to facilitate its obligations under the Agreement, and Yavrio shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of such subcontractors relating to the Agreement as though they were those of Yavrio.
  8. Restrictions. Customer shall use the Services only as set forth in the Agreement and the Documentation, and not for the benefit of any third party. Customer shall not (i) reverse assemble, reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from any of the Yavrio Technology; (ii) reproduce, modify, create, or prepare derivative works of any of the Yavrio Technology or Documentation; (iii) distribute or display any of the Yavrio Technology or Documentation other than to Authorized Users; (iv) share, sell, rent, lease, or otherwise distribute access to the Services (except with respect to Customer’s Affiliates as expressly provided in Section 2(e)) or use the Services to operate any timesharing, service bureau, or similar business; (v) alter, destroy, or otherwise remove any proprietary notices within the Yavrio Technology or Documentation; or (vi) disclose the results of any benchmark tests to any third parties without Yavrio’s prior written consent.

Nothing in the Agreement transfers or conveys to Customer any ownership interest in Yavrio’s Intellectual Property.
  2. Suggestions. If Customer provides Yavrio with any suggested improvements to the Services, that suggestion is provided “as-is,” and Customer grants Yavrio a nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide license to, with rights to transfer, sublicense, sell, use, reproduce, display, and make derivative works of, such suggested improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 3(b) (Suggestions) grants Yavrio a license to use any Inventions covered by a registered patent owned by Customer.
  3. Customer’s Intellectual Property. Customer retains all ownership rights in Customer Data and Customer’s Confidential Information, including any Intellectual Property rights therein. Nothing in the Agreement transfers or conveys to Yavrio any ownership interest in or to the Customer Data or Customer’s Confidential Information, provided that Yavrio has the right to create Aggregate Data (as defined in Section 4(b) (Aggregate Data)) and owns all right, title, and interest in Aggregate Data both during and after the term of the Agreement. Customer shall ensure that it has all necessary rights and permissions required by Applicable Laws to use and permit the use of Customer Data in accordance with the Agreement.

 

4. PRIVACY AND SECURITY

  1. Use of Customer Data. Yavrio may retain, use, and disclose Customer Data solely (i) to fulfill its obligations to Customer under the Agreement; (ii) to provide customer support; (iii) for internal business purposes to maintain, evaluate, develop, and improve Yavrio’s services; or (iv) to comply with Applicable Laws. Customer Data and Customer’s Confidential Information do not include Personal Information relating to an employee or other authorized Representative of Customer that is collected or received by Yavrio in connection with the procurement or use of, or payment for, the Services (for example, the names and email addresses of Customer’s account representatives and accounting personnel). Yavrio’s use of Personal Information of such an employee or other Representative is governed by the Yavrio Privacy Policy available at https://www.yavr.io/privacy-policy, which describes how to manage individual communication preferences. Each Party shall be responsible for informing its own Representatives of the processing of their Personal Information as provided in the Agreement.
  2. Aggregate Data. Yavrio may create, generate, and use Aggregate Data for any lawful purpose. “Aggregate Data” means de-identified and anonymized sets of data derived from the data of multiple Yavrio customers (including Customer Data) for the purpose of expressing that information in summary form. Aggregate Data does not include any Personal Information relating to Customer, Authorized Users, Customer’s clients or customers, or other information that could reasonably identify a natural person or Customer.
  3. Protection of Customer Data, Personal Information, and Confidential Information. Each Party is responsible for complying with Applicable Laws, including applicable data protection legal requirements, for the purposes of the Agreement. Yavrio shall implement and maintain commercially reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards and security methods designed to prevent any unauthorized release, access, destruction, modification, or disclosure of Customer Data, Confidential Information, or Personal Information. Yavrio shall facilitate Customer’s compliance with its obligations for data security and response to individual data subject requests with respect to Personal Information in Yavrio’s possession or control, to the extent that Customer is required to comply with the following: (i) the U.K. Data Protection Act 2018 and the United Kingdom General Data Protection Act ("UK GDPR"); and (ii) the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (“GDPR”) and any applicable laws enacted by an EU member state implementing the requirements of GDPR. The Agreement and the Documentation are Customer’s instructions for processing Customer Data, and Yavrio shall not process Customer Data for any other purpose. Yavrio shall use commercially reasonable measures to ensure that any Yavrio subcontractors implement and comply with reasonable security measures in handling any Customer Data, Personal Information, or Customer’s Confidential Information.
  4. Service Provider. If Yavrio processes Customer Data on behalf of Customer for the provision of the Services, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Yavrio is a “Service Provider”, and Customer Data may include personal information. Yavrio does not sell Personal Information. When Yavrio processes Personal Information for or on behalf of Customer, Yavrio collects, retains, uses, and discloses such Personal Information solely for the permitted purposes described in the Agreement, and for no other commercial purpose. Yavrio certifies that it understands and will comply with these restrictions.
  5. Data Processing Addendum. Whenever Yavrio processes the Personal Information of individuals in the EEA or the United Kingdom, or where Customer is established in the EEA or the United Kingdom, Customer agrees that Yavrio does so as a processor only.
  6. Notices. Yavrio shall notify Customer without undue delay in accordance with Applicable Laws of unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of any Customer Data or Customer’s Confidential Information under Yavrio’s control. Yavrio shall provide Customer with information regarding such incident as required by Applicable Laws or as reasonably requested by Customer to enable Customer to comply with its obligations under Applicable Laws. Yavrio shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) identify the cause of the incident and (ii) remediate the cause of the incident within Yavrio’s systems, to the extent such remediation is within Yavrio’s reasonable control.

 

5. SERVICE SUSPENSION AND DISPUTES

  1. Generally. As reasonably practicable under the circumstances, Yavrio shall endeavor to resolve together with Customer any circumstance that may give rise to Yavrio’s suspension rights, which include, for example, the following: (i) a material risk caused by Customer, its Affiliates, or its or their Authorized Users or Representatives to the security or performance of the Services, the network, Customer, or any other Yavrio customer or business partner; (ii) use of the Services in violation of the Agreement; or (iii) Customer is delinquent in its payment obligations for any undisputed amounts. In the case of payment delinquency, Yavrio services will be discontinued until such time as the invoice is satisfied. For any other suspension, other than with respect to sandbox Accounts, Yavrio shall make a good faith effort to contact and provide notice to Customer (including by email to Customer’s business contact) in advance. Payment of undisputed amounts will be considered delinquent if not received within 15 days following the due date set forth on an invoice. Yavrio acknowledges that suspending Customer’s right to access or use the Services is a significant action, and therefore Yavrio shall not exercise this remedy except in good faith and as necessary to resolve the issue giving rise to Yavrio’s right to suspend the Services. Yavrio shall also pursue other less drastic measures it deems appropriate, including collaborating with Customer to isolate the issue and escalating unresolved issues to senior management of Customer and Yavrio. Yavrio shall not destroy or overwrite any Customer Data during the suspension period.
  2. Effect of Suspension. If Yavrio suspends Customer’s ability to access the Services, (i) Customer remains responsible for all fees and charges for suspended Services and for other Services to which Customer continues to have access, if any; and (ii) Customer will not be entitled to any compensation or credits for any period of suspension, unless suspension was due to Yavrio’s error or omission.
  3. Payment Disputes. Customer must assert any payment dispute in writing to Yavrio according to the instructions in the Documentation within 15 days after the due date of the invoice giving rise to the dispute. Yavrio shall not exercise its suspension or termination rights or apply interest on late payments if Customer disputes the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and provides reasonable cooperation to resolve the dispute.

 

6. TERM AND TERMINATION

  1. Agreement Term. The term of the Agreement (the “Term”) begins on the Effective Date of the Initial Subscription Term for the first Service purchased and ends on the date of termination or expiration of the final Subscription Term.
  2. Subscription Terms. Customer may purchase subscriptions to one or more Services during the Term. The effective period (usually one calendar month) of each subscription is a “Subscription Term” and, depending on the timing and agreed terms, those subscriptions may have different Subscription Terms. Each Initial Subscription Term begins on an “Effective Date,” which is either (1) the date Yavrio enters Customer’s Order Document into Yavrio’s billing system or (2) an alternate date mutually agreed by the Parties in writing or (3) the date on which payment is received and access to the system is granted.

    Customer’s subscription will continue until terminated. To use Yavrio’s services, Customer must have submitted Customer’s details to Yavrio and provided payment information by going to the Yavrio Account Page in Business Central. Customer is responsible for keeping payment information updated (including changes to Customer’s address or other changes). Customer may have an account with a third party, in which case it is Customer’s responsibility to keep the applicable third party apprised of its correct payment information.

    Unless Customer cancels Customer’s subscription before Customer’s billing date, Customer authorises us to charge the subscription fee for the next billing cycle (see "Cancellation" below).

  3. Billing and Cancellation

    Billing Cycle. The subscription fee for Yavrio’s services will be charged on the last day of the calendar month for that month’s usage in arrears.  Monthly usage is not pro rated. Therefore, licences marked as active on any day of a given month will be billed for that month. If Customer signed up for Yavrio’s services using Customer’s account with a third party, Customer can find the billing information about Customer’s subscription by visiting Customer’s account with the applicable third party.

  4. Payment. To use Yavrio’s services Customer must provide details for invoicing and commit to paying Yavrio’s invoices. Invoices must be settled by electronic fund transfer to a bank account specified by Yavrio. Customer remains responsible for any unpaid amounts. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and Customer does not cancel Customer’s account, Yavrio may suspend Customer’s access to the service until Yavrio has received payment.
  5. Updating Customer’s Invoicing Information. Customer can update Customer’s Invoicing Information by going to the "Account" page. Yavrio may also update Customer’s Invoicing infrormation using information provided by the payment service providers.
  6. Cancellation. Customer can cancel Customer’s subscription at any time, and Customer will continue to have access to the service through the end of Customer’s billing period. Payments are non-refundable and Yavrio does not provide refunds or credits for any partial subscription periods or unused services. To cancel, disconnect all bank accounts in the system or contact Yavrio using the contact details on the Yavrio website. If Customer signed up for Yavrio’s services using Customer’s account with a third party and wishes to cancel Customer’s Yavrio subscription, Customer may need to do so through such third party, for example by visiting Customer’s account with the applicable third party and turning off auto-renew, or unsubscribing from the Yavrio service through that third party.
  7. Subscription to Upgraded or Additional Services. If Customer upgrades any of Customer’s Service subscriptions during a Subscription Term, then the Subscription Term for the upgraded Service will be coterminous with the current Subscription Term. In the event of any upgrade, Yavrio will invoice Customer for the then-current applicable upgrade fee plus an amount equal to the difference between the then-current Service fee and the upgraded Service fee. If Customer subscribes to an additional Service, the Subscription Term for that Service will begin on the Effective Date for that Service and Customer will be separately charged for the applicable activation and monthly Service subscription fee for the additional Service. If Customer upgrades the tier of Service purchased, renews a Service, or purchases an additional Service (excluding automatic upgrades), then all Services to which Customer subscribes under these Terms will be subject to the then-current Terms and applicable Supplemental Terms.
  8. Deletion of Data.

    At Customer’s Request. Upon Customer’s request at any time during the Subscription Term for a Service or up to 60 days after termination of the Subscription Term, Yavrio shall promptly destroy or overwrite Customer Data for such Service or Customer’s Confidential Information, other than Customer Data or Customer Confidential Information or Personal Information contained in automatic computer backups or historical archives or that must be retained to fulfil obligations under the Agreement for regulatory, legal, or audit purposes, or for compliance with Yavrio’s data retention policies. If Customer requests Yavrio permanently destroy or overwrite Customer Data, Customer releases Yavrio from any claims or liability relating to that Customer Data, including, without limitation, any accuracy guarantee, warranty, or indemnification.

    Upon Termination. If Customer does not request deletion of its Customer Data or Customer’s Confidential Information, Yavrio will destroy or overwrite such data and information in accordance with Yavrio’s document retention policies and standard backup and archival procedures, after the data or information is no longer reasonably necessary to fulfil obligations under the Agreement or for regulatory, legal, or audit compliance.

 

7. FEES AND TAXES

  1. Fees. Customer shall pay all fees specified in each Order Document or invoice and applicable Expenses. Customer will be invoiced based on the Order Document, including, if applicable, for usage-based fees. Except as otherwise specified in the Agreement: (i) amounts are quoted and payable in the currency specified on the Order Document; and (ii) payment obligations are non-cancellable and fees and Expenses paid are non-refundable. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Yavrio will automatically invoice Customer for any renewals, upgrades, and additional Services purchased.
  2. Subscription Plans. Customer is not entitled to any refund of fees paid or relief from fees due if the volume of Service Customer actually uses is less than the volume Customer ordered, and Customer may not carry over any unused volume to Customer’s next Subscription Term. If Customer wishes to reduce the volume of a Service subscription plan, then Customer must make the required changes within the application before the start of the next Renewal Subscription Term for the applicable Service, and the reduction will be effective at the start of that next Renewal Subscription Term.

    Yavrio may offer a number of subscription plans, including annual subscription plans offered by third parties in conjunction with the provision of their own products and services. Some subscription plans may have differing conditions and limitations, which will be disclosed at Customer’s sign-up or in other communications made available to Customer. Customer can find specific details regarding Customer’s subscription by visiting the Yavrio website or the website of the applicable third party.

    Promotional Offers. Yavrio may from time to time offer special promotional offers (“Offers”). Offer eligibility is determined by Yavrio at its sole discretion and Yavrio reserves the right to revoke an Offer and put Customer’s account on hold in the event that Yavrio determines Customer is not eligible. Those customers with older subscriptions may not be eligible for certain introductory Offers. Likewise, those customers joining with a new subscription may not receive the same Offer as earlier adopters. Yavrio may use information such as system identifiers, or an account email address to determine Offer eligibility. The eligibility requirements and other limitations and conditions will be disclosed when the Customer sign-ups for the Offer or in other communications made available to the Customer.

  3. Taxes. Customer is responsible for any applicable value-added, or similar taxes, levies, or duties payable with respect to Customer’s order of Services assessable by any national or foreign jurisdiction. Unless expressly specified otherwise in any Order Document, all fees, rates, and estimates exclude such taxes, levies, and duties. Yavrio is responsible only for taxes based upon Yavrio’s net income, assets, payroll, property, and employees.
  4. Changes to the Price and Subscription Plans. Yavrio may change our subscription plans and the price of our service from time to time; however, any price changes or changes to Customer’s subscription plans will apply no earlier than 30 days following notice to Customer. Such notice may be in the form of an invoice or any other form of notice used by Yavrio to communicate with Customer. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, following the Initial Subscription Term, Service fees are subject to increases to the level of then-current standard pricing, which will become effective beginning upon the first day of each Renewal Subscription Term. If Customer objects to the increase, Customer may elect to not renew its order of Services. Customer acknowledges that the following do not constitute fee increases: (i) additional fees for any upgrade or any additional Service that Customer orders; (ii) overage fees for usage in excess of Customer’s usage tier; and (iii) expiration of any discount or incentive programs to which Customer was previously entitled.

 

8. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

  1. Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means information designated by a Party or a Party’s Affiliate as confidential, or given the circumstances, would reasonably be understood by the Recipient to be confidential, and that is disclosed by a Party, its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives (the “Discloser”) to the other Party, its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives (the “Recipient”), regardless of the form of disclosure. Confidential Information includes, with respect to Yavrio and its Affiliates, the Yavrio Technology and non-public Documentation, and with respect to Customer and its Affiliates, all Customer Data, and with respect to both the Discloser and Recipient, the non-public terms of the Agreement and all non-public information relating to business plans, customers and customer lists, data, designs (whether actual, contemplated, experimental, or planned), financial information, forecasts, Inventions, know-how, methods, market analysis, pricing, products (whether actual, contemplated, experimental, or planned), prerelease offerings, research and development, security policies and processes, source and object code, and strategies of the Discloser.
  2. Exclusions. Confidential Information does not include information that the Recipient can establish: (i) (except with respect to Personal Information) is or becomes generally known to the public without the Recipient’s breach of any obligation owed to the Discloser; (ii) has been rightfully received by the Recipient from a third party without confidentiality restrictions; (iii) is known to the Recipient without any restriction as to use or disclosure prior to first receipt by the Recipient from the Discloser; or (iv) has been independently developed by the Recipient without use of or reference to the Discloser’s Confidential Information.
  3. Disclosures Required by Law. If any Applicable Laws or judicial or administrative order requires the Recipient to disclose any of the Discloser’s Confidential Information, the Recipient shall (if legally permitted) promptly notify the Discloser in writing prior to making any such disclosure, in order to facilitate the Discloser’s efforts to protect its Confidential Information. Following such notification, the Recipient shall cooperate with the Discloser, at the Discloser’s reasonable expense, in seeking and obtaining protection for the Discloser’s Confidential Information. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the Discloser, the Recipient is legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information by any tribunal, regulatory authority, agency, or similar entity, the Recipient may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed, and the Recipient shall exercise its best efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the remaining Confidential Information.
  4. Restrictions on Use and Disclosure. The Recipient shall use Confidential Information of the Discloser solely to fulfill its obligations under the Agreement, to comply with Applicable Laws, or as otherwise permitted under the Agreement. Subject to the permitted disclosures set forth in Section 8(c) (Disclosures Required by Law), the Recipient shall hold Confidential Information in strict confidence and shall not disclose or authorize the disclosure of Confidential Information to third parties except as otherwise permitted by the Agreement. The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to a Representative or service provider on the condition that the Recipient: (i) ensures that such Representative or service provider is bound by a written agreement or other legally binding obligation of confidentiality and restricted use at least as protective as these Terms and (ii) is fully responsible for such Representative’s or service provider’s use and disclosure of the Confidential Information and its compliance with the obligations of the Recipient under this Section 8(d) (Restrictions on Use and Disclosure). The Recipient shall protect Confidential Information of the Discloser from unauthorized access and disclosure using the same degree of care, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care, that it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature and shall not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any such Confidential Information. All rights and obligations regarding Confidential Information (including Customer Data) will survive and remain subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement for as long as the Confidential Information is retained or until it no longer meets the definition of Confidential Information.
  5. Return of Confidential Information. Yavrio shall destroy, overwrite, or return Customer’s Confidential Information as provided in Section 6(h) (Return of Customer Data) or Section 6(i) (Deletion of Data), as applicable.

9. WARRANTIES

  1. Mutual Warranties. Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that (i) it has the authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Agreement; (ii) the Agreement does not conflict with any other agreement entered into by it; (iii) it does not conduct business for any unlawful purpose; and (iv) it is not a politically exposed person (PEP); on Her Majesty’s Treasury, Asset Freezing Unit’s Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets; the European Union’s consolidated list of persons, groups; the United States Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Asset Control’s list of Specially Designated National and Blocked Persons; and entities subject to EU financial sanctions; or any similar list of embargoed or blocked persons applicable to persons or entities in the jurisdiction of such Party’s domicile or use of the Services.

Yavrio warrants to Customer that: (1) the Yavrio Technology Yavrio provides to Customer will perform in all material respects in accordance with its applicable, then-current Documentation; (2) Yavrio will not materially reduce a Service or its features or functionality during a Subscription Term (provided, however, that Yavrio may deprecate a Service or Service features or functionality upon expiration of a Subscription Term with at least 30 days’ written notice to Customer); and (3) Yavrio will use commercially reasonable efforts, using then-current versions of commercially available antivirus software, to ensure that the Yavrio Technology provided to Customer contains no computer virus, Trojan horse, worm, or other similar malicious code. Yavrio does not warrant that the Yavrio Technology is free from all bugs, errors, or omissions.

    ii. If Yavrio fails to conform to any of the warranties in this Section 9(b) (Yavrio’s Warranties) and Yavrio does not render the Yavrio Technology conforming within 30 days of Customer’s written notice to Yavrio of the nonconformance, then, as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any nonconformance, Customer may immediately terminate its subscription for the affected Service upon notice to Yavrio, and Yavrio shall refund Customer the pro rata amount of any prepaid Service subscription fees applicable to the unused portion of the Subscription Term of the terminated Service (excluding any activation or other one-time fees). The refund will be calculated from the date that Customer notifies Yavrio of the nonconformance.

    iii. The warranties in this Section 9(b) (Yavrio’s Warranties) do not apply to the extent that the Service, systems, or software have been modified by persons other than Yavrio’s employees or persons authorized by Yavrio.

  3. Customer is responsible to make best efforts to ensure that data received (AIS) including, but not limited to, account consents, vendor bank detail and bank statement transactions, as well as data sent (PIS) including, but not limited to, payment initiation towards beneficiary accounts, is accurate, as intended, and reconciles with information available to Customer. Yavrio accepts no liability for failures on behalf of Customer to ensure accurate data.  For avoidance of doubt, this extends to Customer, Affiliates, and any other representatives authorized by Customer to access, amend or otherwise impact Customer’s data.
  4. Disclaimer of Implied Warranties. Except as expressly provided in the Agreement, the Services are provided on an “as-is” and “as available” basis, and neither Party makes any warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, and each Party specifically disclaims all implied warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

 

10. INDEMNIFICATION

  1. Indemnification by Customer. Customer shall indemnify and defend Yavrio and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, and employees against Losses incurred as a result of a third-party claim or action that (1) Customer’s use of the Service in breach of the Agreement infringes the Intellectual Property rights of a third party; (2) results from Customer’s breach of its obligations under the Agreement; or (3) results from Customer’s violation of Applicable Laws.
  2. Process. The obligations of a Party (“Indemnitor”) to defend or indemnify the other (“Indemnitee”) under this Section 10 (Indemnification) are subject to the following: (i) the Indemnitee must promptly inform the Indemnitor in writing of any claim or action within the scope of the Indemnitor’s defence or indemnity obligations set forth in the Agreement, provided that Indemnitor shall not be excused from its indemnity obligations for failure to provide prompt notice except to the extent that the Indemnitor is prejudiced by any such failure to provide prompt notice; (ii) the Indemnitor must be given exclusive control of the defence of such claim and all negotiations relating to its settlement, except that the Indemnitor may not, without Indemnitee’s approval, (A) make any admissions on the Indemnitee’s behalf or (B) settle any such claim unless the settlement unconditionally releases the Indemnitee of all liability; and (iii) the Indemnitee must reasonably assist the Indemnitor in all necessary respects in connection with the defence of the claim, at the Indemnitor’s expense. The Indemnitee may participate in the defence of the claim at its sole cost and expense.
  3. Exclusive Remedy. This Section 10 (Indemnification) states the Indemnitor’s sole liability and the Indemnitee’s exclusive remedy with respect to Infringement and any other type of third-party claim or action described in this Section. This Section does not apply to any direct claims between the Parties. For the sake of clarity, this Section does not cover any claims based on any error in accuracy or timeliness of any Service. Such claims are governed exclusively by, and limited by, the warranties in the Terms or the warranties or guarantees set forth in the applicable Supplemental Terms, if any.

  3. Mid-Term Modification Notice. If the Modification Notice states that the modifications will become effective during the then-current Subscription Term, and the modifications materially and adversely affect Customer, then Customer may terminate Customer’s subscription to the affected Service by providing written notice to Yavrio at any time within the 30-day period following the date of the Modification Notice. Customer’s termination will become effective on the later to occur of (i) the date on which Customer delivers a timely termination notice or (ii) the date on which the applicable modifications become effective, provided that, upon written request by Customer, Yavrio shall continue to provide such Service to Customer as needed to manage a reasonable transition to another vendor, not to exceed 60 days, and at Yavrio’s then-current rates for the affected Service. If Customer terminates a Service subscription pursuant to this Section 11(c) (Mid-Term Modification Notice), then Yavrio shall refund Customer the pro rata amount of any prepaid Service subscription fees applicable to the unused portion of the Subscription Term for the terminated Service (excluding any activation or other one-time fees).

  6.

Without these limitations, the fees for the Service(s) would be significantly higher. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some or all of the above exclusions or limitations may not apply, and the Parties may have additional rights.​

 

13. MISCELLANEOUS

  1. Relationship of the Parties; No Professional Opinions or Legal Advice. The Agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture, agency, or fiduciary relationship between the Parties.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that Yavrio does not provide legal advice, including legal or professional opinions or management advice.

14. PURCHASE THROUGH DISTRIBUTORS

This Section 14 (Purchase Through Distributors) only applies to Customers who have purchased a Service through a Distributor. “Distributor” means an entity that Yavrio has authorized as a distributor or reseller of the Services. For the sake of clarity, this Section 14 (Purchase Through Distributors) does not apply if Customer did not purchase a Service through a Distributor.

  1. Distributors. “Distributor Agreement” means the order, agreement or other document between Customer and a Distributor for Customer’s purchase or other acquisition of Services. Additional terms that apply to Customer’s use of the Services when obtained from a Distributor are set forth in this Section 14 (Purchase Through Distributors). In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Agreement and the Distributor Agreement, then the provisions of the Agreement prevail. If a Distributor has granted Customer any rights that Yavrio does not also directly grant to Customer in the Agreement, or that conflict with the Agreement, then Customer’s sole recourse with respect to such rights is against the Distributor.
  2. Subscriptions Through a Distributor. If Customer ordered a Service through a Distributor, the Subscription Term will begin on the Effective Date, and it will expire, renew, and terminate in accordance with the terms of the Distributor Agreement.
  3. Purchases Through a Distributor. If Customer ordered a Service through a Distributor, then the billing, payment, and termination sections of the Agreement may not apply to Customer, and Customer’s billing and payment rights and obligations are governed by the Distributor Agreement. However, if the Distributor from whom Customer purchased a Service fails to pay Yavrio any amounts due in connection with Customer’s use of the Services, Yavrio may suspend Customer’s Account, with or without notice to Customer, and may demand payment directly from Customer. Customer agrees that Customer’s remedy in the event of such suspension is solely against the Distributor and that Yavrio is not liable to Customer in any manner for such suspension. Yavrio may invoice Customer directly for renewals.
  4. Modifications. Yavrio may modify these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or any Supplemental Terms. If Customer ordered a Service through a Distributor, any modification will take effect upon the date of the modification, and Customer may avoid the applicability of the modification only by ceasing its use of a Service.
