5.3. Changes to Your ERP System.
a. If you modify your ERP system (without changing the provider) in a way that may affect the functioning of our Services (including a minor version update), please notify us in advance so that we are aware of the change and may plan for it.
b. If you change your ERP system to a different provider/different system or roll out a new major release within the same system during the term, additional engineering may be required in order to maintain compatibility with our Services. You agree to cooperate with us in all reasonable ways to allow us to update our Services to work with your changed systems.

The parties further agree to work together in good faith to minimize downtime of the Services.
d. If the new ERP system is not a system we support, we will quote you costs for the engineering required to support the new system, and we will not proceed with the work until we have mutually agreed on the costs for the work. If the quote for additional engineering is equal to or less than one monthly payment, you agree in advance that you will pay such amount upon being invoiced and cooperate to allow us to expeditiously perform the work, and we agree to do so. However, if the parties are unable to agree upon such price within thirty (30) days of when we provided you the quote, and the quoted price exceeds per-month cost of the Services, either party may terminate this Agreement effective upon the commencement of use of the new ERP by providing thirty (30) days written notice.

5.4. Suspension. We may, in our reasonable discretion, and without prior notice under exigent or emergency situations where we deem suspension reasonably necessary to prevent potential harm to our or other’s networks or a potential illegal act (in which case we will give you notice as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable). We may also issue a warning or, upon five (5) business days’ notice, suspend your account and access to the Services, (without waiving subsequent termination rights), if you breach or threaten to breach this Agreement or if we are unable to verify or authenticate any information you have provided. We will reinstate your access as soon as you have demonstrated to our reasonable satisfaction that the issue has been resolved and will not reoccur, unless we have terminated this Agreement for cause prior to that time.

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the rights, licenses and access to the Services granted to you under this Agreement will immediately terminate. Upon your written request made within sixty (60) days after the effective date of termination, we will make available to you for download a file of Your Data in comma separated value (.csv) format along with attachments in their native format, provided you have made all payments required under the Agreement. After such 60-day period, we shall have no obligation to maintain or provide any of Your Data and shall thereafter delete Your Data from our systems in accordance with our data retention policies. If you terminate with cause under Section 12.3, we will refund to you any Unearned Fees covering the remainder of the term of all subscriptions after the effective date of termination. If we terminate for cause under Section 12.3, you are required to immediately pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all Order Forms after the effective date of termination. In no event shall any termination relieve you of the obligation to pay any fees payable to us for the period prior to the effective date of termination. Sections 1 (Definitions), 6 (Proprietary Rights), 7 (Fees and Payment), 8 (Confidentiality), 9.4 (Disclaimer), 10 (Indemnification), 11 (Limitation of Liability), 12.5 (Effects of Termination), 13 (Disputes/Arbitration; Governing Law) and 14 (General Provisions) shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
13. DISPUTES/ARBITRATION; GOVERNING LAW
13.1. Binding Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for mandatory binding arbitration in front of a single arbitrator chosen in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (using Expedited Procedures) (“Rules”) available at:
https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/CommercialRules_Web-Final.pdf (as of the date of these Terms and Conditions). Unless provided otherwise herein, the arbitrator may not award non-monetary or equitable relief of any sort, and shall have no power to award damages inconsistent with this Agreement. The parties expressly waive their right to obtain such damages in arbitration. All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential. Neither the parties nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of the arbitration, except as necessary to enforce the results of the arbitration or to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. Before making any such disclosure, a party shall give written notice to the other party and shall afford such party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests. The arbitrator shall render its award in writing and will include the findings of fact and conclusions of law upon which the award is based. The result of the arbitration shall bind the parties and judgment on the arbitrators’ award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In addition to any and all other relief to which a party may be entitled, the arbitrator shall award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including reasonable expert witness fees and costs (if applicable), to the prevailing party (should there be one) in any such arbitration. In the event of conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the Rules, these Terms and Conditions shall be first in precedence.
13.2. Waiver of Jury Trial; Individual Basis; Equitable Relief. THE PARTIES SURRENDER AND WAIVE THE RIGHT TO SUBMIT ANY DISPUTE TO A COURT OR JURY, OR TO APPEAL TO A HIGHER COURT. THE PARTIES AGREE TO ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be a class arbitration). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit either party (prior to the commencement of arbitration) from seeking and obtaining from a court of competent jurisdiction (without necessity of posting bond) injunctive relief in order to preserve the status quo and/or avoid irreparable harm which may be inadequately compensable by monetary damages, for example in respect of a threatened breach of the confidentiality or license-restriction provisions hereof. Nothing in this Section 13 shall be construed to prohibit SourceDay from using an attorney or collections agency to collect unpaid fees.
13.3. Where Held; Language; Governing Law. The place of arbitration shall be Austin (Travis County), TX, USA, and the proceedings shall be conducted in the English language. The Agreement shall be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act to the exclusion of any inconsistent state laws and the arbitrator shall follow the law and judicial precedents that a United States District Judge sitting in the Western District of Texas would apply to the dispute.
14. GENERAL PROVISIONS
14.1. Notice. Except for Legal Notices: (a) we may provide you notice via the Services (e.g., by the message center or dashboard) or via email or to your contact person on file as updated from time to time, and (b) you may provide us notice to the email address set forth in your Order Form, as updated from time to time. Such notice is deemed received on the first business day after posting or sending. Legal Notices must be in writing, are deemed received only upon actual delivery (or refusal), and shall be sent (if to you): to the address set forth on your most current Order Form (or such address as you have updated in writing), and (if to SourceDay) to SourceDay, Inc., Attn: Contracts, 9737 Great Hills Trail, Suite 100, Austin, TX 78759. “Legal Notices” means any notice of termination (except if the recipient confirms receipt of the email by a human-generated response), notices alleging breach hereof, or pertaining to an indemnifiable claim.
14.2. Export Compliance. You agree to comply with all applicable export and re-export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce, trade and economic sanctions maintained by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) maintained by the Department of State. You covenant that you will not — directly or indirectly — sell, export, re-export, transfer, divert, or otherwise dispose of any products, software, or technology (including products derived from or based on such technology) received from SourceDay under this Agreement to any destination, entity, or person prohibited by the laws or regulations of the United States, without obtaining prior authorization from the competent government authorities as required by those laws and regulations. You agree to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, SourceDay from and against any fines or penalties that may arise as a result of your breach of this provision.
14.3. Relationship of the Parties; No Third-Party Beneficiaries; Waiver. The parties are independent contractors to each other. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between the parties, and neither party has the right to bind the other party to any agreement, understanding, or contract. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that right. A waiver of any default is not a waiver of any subsequent default.
14.4. Assignment. Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party (not to be unreasonably withheld), except that a party may assign this Agreement in its entirety (including all Order Forms), without consent of the other party, to its Affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets not involving a direct competitor of the other party. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.
14.5. Entire Agreement; No Reliance; Order of Precedence. The Agreement (as defined above), constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any oral promises or any other terms, representations, commitments, understandings, or matters, other than those expressly set forth in writing in the Agreement. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective against us unless in writing and signed by us. The order of precedence in the event of any inconsistency among different documents comprising the Agreement is as follows (from highest to lowest): (a) any conflicting provision of an Order Form expressly stating that is intended to modify or supersede a provision of these Terms and Conditions; (b) these Terms and Conditions; (c) Order Forms; (d) any online policy. Other than the mutually executed Order Form(s), no PO’s, preprinted forms, order documentation, or any other forms provided by you (“Forms”) shall be deemed to vary, add to, or delete any provisions hereof, and all such unilateral terms of yours shall be null and void, even if we execute the Forms.
14.6. Miscellaneous. These Terms and Conditions are in effect pursuant to their incorporation into the executed Order Form; an Order Form (and/or this Agreement) may be executed by signature (electronic or “ink”), or via clicking to acknowledge acceptance, via click wrap and/or in counterparts, including counterparts delivered electronically, each of which will be deemed to be an original and such counterparts together will constitute one and the same agreement. SourceDay shall be excused from performance hereunder to the extent that performance is prevented, delayed or obstructed by causes beyond its reasonable control including acts of God, weather events, labor strife, acts of war (declared or not) or terrorism, acts of government, civil unrest, or denial of service attacks. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed to the extent necessary to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties (or deleted if reformation is not feasible), and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act shall not apply to the Agreement. The terms “including” and “includes” are not to be construed as words of limitation but rather shall be interpreted as if followed by the words “but [is/are] not limited to”.
