Terms of Service

Effective as of September, 14 2021

PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AS THEY, TOGETHER WITH THE APPLICABLE OPENBRIDGE ORDER FORM ON WHICH THEY ARE REFERENCED, CONSTITUTE A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT AND GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM AND ASSOCIATED SERVICES PROVIDED BY OPENBRIDGE. BY ACCESSING OR USING OPENBRIDGE, BY RECEIVING OPENBRIDGE SERVICES, OR BY CLICKING “I AGREE”, “ORDER”, "SIGN UP", YOU ARE INDICATING THAT YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MUST NOT USE OPENBRIDGE SERVICES OR ACCESS AND USE THE OPENBRIDGE PLATFORM.

By agreeing to the Openbridge Terms, you and any entity that you represent ("Customer") are unconditionally consenting to be bound by and are becoming a party to these Openbridge Terms ("Agreement") as of the date of Customer's first Software usage (the "effective date"). Customer's continued use of the Software or any licensed materials provided by Openbridge, Inc., trading as Openbridge ("Openbridge") (or one of its affiliates and/or subsidiaries, as specified on an order form or Quote), shall also constitute assent to the terms of this Agreement.

Except as otherwise stated, no supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by a duly authorized representative of each party. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under this Agreement, nor will any waiver be effective unless in writing signed by a duly authorized representative on behalf of the party claimed to have waived. This Agreement may be executed by written signature or electronically and delivered in multiple counterparts, including facsimile, PDF, or other electronic counterparts, all of which will constitute the same instrument and Agreement.

From time to time, Openbridge may modify this Agreement. Unless another agreement between the parties supersedes this Agreement, changes become effective for Customer upon renewal of the then-current subscription term or entry into a new Order Form after the updated version of this Agreement goes into effect.

Software, Services, and related materials are collectively referred to herein as the “Licensed Materials".

License

Customer will not, directly or indirectly: reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code or underlying structure, ideas, know-how, or algorithms relevant to the Licensed Materials or any software, documentation, or data related to the Licensed Materials; modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Licensed Materials (except to the extent expressly permitted by Openbridge in writing or authorized within the Services).

Customer agrees that Openbridge and/or its licensors (as applicable) retain all right, title, and interest in and to all Licensed Materials incorporated in such modifications and/or patches, and all such Licensed Materials may only be used, copied, modified, displayed, distributed, or otherwise exploited in full compliance with this Agreement, and with a paid Openbridge subscription.

Support

Openbridge will provide practical support to the Customer for the support plan selected and paid for. If Customer does not reasonably comply with written specifications or instructions from Openbridge regarding any support issue or request, Openbridge may terminate its support obligations to Customer concerning such Support issue upon fifteen (15) days written notice if Customer does not cure such noncompliance within the notice period. Openbridge will use reasonable commercial efforts to respond to support questions by chat or email during the next business day at the latest.

This Agreement is the complete statement of the mutual understanding of the parties. It supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications, and other understandings relating to the subject matter. This Agreement shall supersede the terms of any purchase order or other business form. If accepted by Openbridge instead of, or in addition to, Openbridge's Order Form, the Customer's purchase order shall be binding only as to the following terms: (a) the Services ordered and (b) the appropriately calculated fees due. Other terms shall be void.

Restrictions

Except as expressly authorized, the Customer will not, and will not permit any third party to:

  • Use the Licensed Materials for any purpose other than as specifically authorized or in such a manner that would enable any unlicensed person to access the Licensed Materials.
  • Use the Licensed Materials or any other Openbridge software for any purpose other than its and its Affiliates' own internal use except as expressly permitted herein.
  • Use the Licensed Materials in connection with any high-risk or strict liability activity.
  • Use the Licensed Materials or Software other than per this Agreement and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

  • Use the Licensed Materials in any manner that (1) is harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, or libelous, (2) impersonates any person or entity, including without limitation any employee or representative of Openbridge, or (3) contains a virus, trojan horse, worm, time bomb, unsolicited bulk, commercial, or "spam" message, or other harmful computer code, file, or program.

The Customer will cooperate with Openbridge in connection with the performance of this Agreement by making available such personnel and information as may be reasonably required and taking such other actions as Openbridge may reasonably request. The Customer will also cooperate with Openbridge to establish authorization or other procedures for verifying that only designated Customer entities have access to any administrative functions of the Licensed Materials.

Customer shall maintain during the term of this Agreement and through the end of the third year after the date on which the final payment is made under this Agreement, books, records, contracts, and accounts relating to the amounts due Openbridge under this Agreement (collectively, the "Customer Records").

Openbridge may, at its sole expense, upon 30 days prior written notice to Customer and during Customer's regular business hours and subject to industry-standard confidentiality obligations, hire an independent third-party auditor to audit the Customer Records only to verify the amounts payable under this Agreement. If an audit reveals underpayment, then the Customer shall promptly pay the deficiency to Openbridge plus late fees and pay Openbridge for the reasonable costs of the audit.

The Customer will be responsible for maintaining the security of the Customer's account, passwords, files, and all uses of the Customer account.

Confidentiality

Each party (the "Receiving Party") understands that the other party (the "Disclosing Party") has disclosed or may disclose information relating to the Disclosing Party's technology or business (from now on referred to as "Proprietary Information" of the Disclosing Party). Without limiting the preceding, the Licensed Materials are Openbridge Proprietary Information.

The Receiving Party agrees:

  1. Not to divulge to any third person any such Proprietary Information.
  2. To give access to such Proprietary Information solely to those employees with a need to have access to that for purposes of this Agreement.
  3. To take the same security precautions to protect against disclosure or unauthorized use of such Proprietary Information that the party takes with its proprietary information, but in no event will a party apply less than reasonable precautions to protect such Proprietary Information.

The Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing will not apply concerning any information that the Receiving Party can document:

  1. is or generally becomes available to the public without any action by, or involvement of, the Receiving Party.
  2. In its possession or known by it before receipt from the Disclosing Party.
  3. Rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party.
  4. Independently developed without the use of any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party.

Nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing Proprietary Information under any judicial or governmental order, provided that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice of such disclosure to contest such order.

Openbridge may collect data concerning aggregate measures of the Licensed Materials' performance and Customer's usage of the Licensed Materials. Openbridge will not identify Customer as to the source of any such data without the Customer's prior written consent. The use of a third party to host the data collected shall not be deemed a disclosure.

Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other may suffer irreparable damage in the event of a breach of this Agreement. Such party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief (without the necessity of posting a bond) in the event of any such breach.

Both parties will have the right to disclose the existence of the relationship between the parties, but not the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless such disclosure of the Agreement terms are approved in writing by both Parties before such disclosure or is included in a filing required to be made by a party with a governmental authority or is made on a confidential basis as reasonably necessary to potential investors or acquirers.
