6. Changes to the Technology.

Licensee’s App will maintain 100% compatibility with the Technology and the Platform (including changes provided to Licensee by 8th Wall which will be implemented in the App promptly thereafter). Licensee understands and agrees that we may cease support of old versions or releases of the Technology at any time. We may also automatically update the version of the Services that Licensee is using, including without limitation the Technology installed on each device (each, a “Device”) of Licensee’s end users.

7. Fees.

Certain versions or functionalities of the Technology may currently be free of charge, but we reserve the right to make certain additional features, updates or new versions/releases available only for payment. If Licensee chooses to purchase such Services, Licensee will pay 8th Wall fees for the applicable Service (“Fees”). We will not charge you any Fees without your prior authorization. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, all Fees will be invoiced monthly and all invoices issued under this Agreement are payable in U.S. dollars within thirty (30) days from date of invoice. Past due invoices are subject to interest on any outstanding balance of the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted by law. Licensee will be responsible for all taxes associated with the Services, including but not limited to taxes arising from payments collected via 8th Wall Payments (as defined below), but excluding taxes based on 8th Wall’s net income). All Fees paid are non-refundable and are not subject to set-off.

8. 8th Wall Payments.

As part of the Services, 8th Wall offers the ability to process payments for App functionality, digital content or digital goods created using the Technology (“8th Wall Payments”). The payment processing services offered as part of 8th Wall Payments are provided by a third party provider and offered at our sole discretion. Licensee may only use the payment processing services offered through 8th Wall Payments to charge for App functionality, digital content or digital goods created using the Technology.

Where Licensee has chosen to use 8th Wall Payments, we will collect payments owed to Licensee by Licensee End Users (“End User Fee”). Licensee agrees that the receipt of the End User Fee by 8th Wall satisfies the payer’s obligation to Licensee. 8th Wall reserves the right to adjust or withhold all or a portion of the End User Fee to provide refunds or settle disputes and chargebacks with End Users (which it may do in its sole discretion), as well as any other banking charges or other administrative expenses incurred by 8th Wall as a result of Licensee’s use of 8th Wall Payments.

In exchange for the provision of 8th Wall Payments, Licensee agrees to pay 8th Wall a fee per transaction between Licensee and Licensee’s end user (“8th Wall Payment Fee”). 8th Wall will notify the Licensee of the applicable 8th Wall Payment fee via the Platform. 8th Wall reserves the right to amend the 8th Wall Payment Fee from time to time.

Use of 8th Wall Payments is subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Services Agreement (collectively, the “Stripe Agreements”). By using 8th Wall Payments, Licensee agrees to be bound by and shall comply with the Stripe Agreements, as modified by Stripe from time to time. Licensee shall also comply with all applicable card network rules, policies, laws and regulations at all times when using 8th Wall Payments. Licensee shall not use 8th Wall Payments for any activity expressly prohibited by the Stripe Restricted Businesses List. Licensee acknowledges that the payment processing activities provided through 8th Wall Payments are between Licensee, Stripe and Licensee’s end user and not 8th Wall.

Licensee authorizes 8th Wall to obtain all necessary access and perform all necessary activity on their Stripe Connected Account to facilitate use of 8th Wall Payments. Licensee agrees to provide 8th Wall accurate and complete information about Licensee and its business, and authorizes 8th Wall to share such information, as well as transaction information related to Licensee’s use of the 8th Wall Payments, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

9. Improvements.

Licensee may from time to time provide suggestions, comments or other feedback to 8th Wall with respect to the Services (“Feedback”). Feedback, even if designated as confidential by Licensee, shall not create any confidentiality obligation for 8th Wall notwithstanding anything else. Licensee shall, and hereby does, grant to 8th Wall a nonexclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, fully paid up license to use and exploit the Feedback for any purpose.

10. Confidentiality; Data Collection.

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 (hereinafter referred to as “Proprietary Information” of the Disclosing Party).

a. Use and Non-Disclosure. The Receiving Party agrees: (i) not to divulge to any third person any such Proprietary Information, (i) to give access to such Proprietary information solely to those employees with a need to have access thereto for purposes of this Agreement, and (iii) to take the same security precautions to protect against disclosure or unauthorized use of such Proprietary Information that the party takes with its own proprietary information, but in no event will a party apply less than reasonable precautions to protect such Proprietary Information.

c. End User Data.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall comply with any restrictions stated in the Documentation regarding the use of the Technology in Apps which collect, or are likely to collect, Device Data from end users who are under the age required to be able to consent to the processing of personal information in their respective jurisdiction. 8th Wall will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the security and integrity of the Services, Licensee Data and Device Data. 8th Wall is not responsible to Licensee for unauthorized access to Licensee Data or Device Data or the unauthorized use of the Service unless such access is due to 8th Wall’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Licensee agrees and acknowledges that Licensee Data and Device Data may be irretrievably deleted if Licensee’s account is ninety (90) days or more delinquent. Please see our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum to learn more about what Device Data 8th Wall collects, and how such information is used.

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, TORT, CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, WILL 8TH WALL OR ITS SUPPLIERS OR RESELLERS BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, ACCURACY OF RESULTS, DEVICE FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LICENSEE’S USE OF THE SERVICES. 8TH WALL’S LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE LIMITED TO $100. THE FOREGOING WILL NOT APPLY TO DAMAGES FOR BODILY INJURY THAT, UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, CANNOT BE SO LIMITED. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF LICENSEE HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO LICENSEE.

14. Term; Termination.

This Agreement is effective as of the date Licensee begins using the Services and is effective until terminated in accordance with this Section 14. Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time by removing or ceasing all use of the Services. We may terminate this Agreement and Licensee’s access to the Services at any time and for any reason. All licenses granted to Licensee hereunder terminate upon termination or expiration of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, 8th Wall may suspend or limit Licensee’s access to or use of the Services if (i) Licensee account is more than sixty (60) days past due, or (ii) Licensee’s use of the Service results in (or is reasonably likely to result in) damage to or material degradation of the Service which interferes with 8th Wall’s ability to provide access to the Service to other customers; provided that in the case of subsection (ii): (a) 8th Wall will use reasonable good faith efforts to work with Licensee to resolve or mitigate the damage or degradation in order to resolve the issue without resorting to suspension or limitation; (b) prior to any such suspension or limitation, 8th Wall will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to Licensee describing the nature of the damage or degradation; and (c) 8th Wall will reinstate Licensee’s use of or access to the Services, as applicable, if Licensee remediates the issue within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, accrued payment obligations (if applicable), ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.

15. Choice of Law; Arbitration.

This Agreement is governed by and will be construed under the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement will be finally settled in Santa Clara County, California, in English, in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who will be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party will have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction. For all purposes of this Agreement, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state or federal courts located in, respectively, Santa Clara County, California or the Northern District of California. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis: class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. LICENSEE UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, LICENSEE AND 8TH WALL ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

16. Changes to Agreement, Platform, or Service.

8th Wall may modify the Agreement at any time, in 8th Wall’s sole discretion. If 8th Wall does so, 8th Wall will let Licensee know either by posting the modified Agreement on the Platform or 8th Wall’s website or through other communications. It is important that Licensee reviews the Agreement whenever 8th Wall modifies it because if Licensee continues to use the Platform or Services after 8th Wall has notified Licensee of the modification and the modified Agreement has been posted on the Platform or 8th Wall’s website, Licensee is indicating to 8th Wall that Licensee agrees to be bound by the modified Agreement. If Licensee does not agree to be bound by the modified Agreement, then Licensee may not continue to use the Platform or Services. Because the Platform and Services are evolving over time, 8th Wall may change or discontinue all or any part of the Platform or Services at any time and without notice, at 8th Wall’s sole discretion.

17. Miscellaneous.

You represent and warrant that you, and any entity that owns, controls, or is otherwise affiliated with you, i) are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. government embargo or sanctions, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country; ii) are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties (“Restricted Party List”); and iii) will not use the Services to do business with or provide goods or services, directly or indirectly, to anyone on a Restricted Party List or to any country with which trade is prohibited by any applicable sanctions. This Agreement represents the complete agreement concerning the subject matter hereof between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and representations between them. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing executed by both parties or as otherwise provided in Section 16. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. Any notices or other communications provided by 8th Wall under this Agreement, including those regarding modifications to this Agreement, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Platform. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is given. For notices made by posting to the Platform, the date of such posting will be deemed the date that notice is given. The failure of 8th Wall to act with respect to a breach of this Agreement by Licensee or others does not constitute a waiver and will not limit 8th Wall’s rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches. This Agreement is personal to Licensee and may not be assigned or transferred for any reason whatsoever without 8th Wall’s consent and any action or conduct in violation of the foregoing will be void and without effect. 8th Wall expressly reserves the right to assign this Agreement and to delegate any of its obligations hereunder.

Please contact support@8thwall.com if you have any questions or concerns regarding the Services.

8. Interactions with Third Parties.

The Hosting Services may contain links or connections to third party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by 8th Wall. When you access third party websites or use third party services, you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that 8th Wall is not responsible for such risks. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Hosting Services and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party website or service that you visit or utilize.

8th Wall has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed in any third party websites or by any third party that you interact with through the Hosting Services or First Party Content. In addition, 8th Wall will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor or edit the content of any third party site or service. By using the Hosting Services or interacting with First Party Content, you release and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any third party website or service.

Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Hosting Services and/or First Party Content, including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such organizations and/or individuals.

In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you release 8th Wall, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Services. If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

9. Indemnity

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend and hold harmless 8th Wall and our subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of our respective officers, directors, agents, partners and employees from and against any losses, liabilities, claims, demands, damages, expenses or costs (“Claims”) arising out of or related to (a) your access to or use of the Hosting Services and/or First Party Content; (b) Your Content, (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation, misappropriation or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights); or (e) your conduct in connection with your use of First Party Content. You agree to promptly notify 8th Wall of any third-party Claims, cooperate with 8th Wall in defending such Claims and pay all fees, costs and expenses associated with defending such Claims (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees). You also agree that 8th Wall will have control of the defense or settlement, at 8th Wall’s sole option, of any third-party Claims. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in terms applicable between you and 8th Wall.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER 8TH WALL NOR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE FIRST PARTY CONTENT WILL BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE FIRST PARTY CONTENT, OR FROM ANY INTERACTIONS YOU MAY HAVE WITH FIRST PARTY CONTENT, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT 8TH WALL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL 8TH WALL’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN 8TH WALL AND YOU.

11. Arbitration provisions applicable to use of First Party Content

THIS NOTICE IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO VISITORS ACCESSING FIRST PARTY CONTENT. THIS NOTICE DOES NOT APPLY: (1) IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF THE EEA, OR ANY JURISDICTION WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, (2) IF YOU OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION AS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION BELOW, OR (3) TO CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION BELOW.

If you live in the US or another jurisdiction which allows you to agree to arbitration, you and 8th Wall agree that any disputes relating to First Party Content will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right: (a) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (b) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights (the action described in this clause (b), an "IP Protection Action"). Notwithstanding this arbitration agreement, 8th Wall reserves the right to bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction against you to stop and/or seek compensation for the intentional or willful misuse or abuse of its intellectual property and/or Services.

Without limiting the preceding paragraph, you will also have the right to litigate any other dispute if you provide 8th Wall with written notice of your desire to do so by email to support@8thwall.com within thirty (30) days following the date you first access First Party Content (such notice, an "Arbitration Opt-out Notice"). When you submit an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, you will be required to represent that you are opting out within 30 days of first accessing First Party Content. If you don’t provide 8th Wall with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice within the thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any dispute except as expressly set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above. Further, unless both you and 8th Wall otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this class action waiver is held unenforceable, then the parties’ agreement to arbitrate will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Supplemental Terms. If the terms of this Section are found unenforceable as to any claim for relief, that claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought pursuant to Section 15, “Choice of Law, Arbitration” in Section A of the Terms and Conditions. All other claims will be arbitrated. The arbitrator, and not any court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to its interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation including any claim that all or any part of it is void or voidable.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/Rules or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. Our responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, 8th Wall will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
