Such audit shall be conducted (a) during the Customer’s normal business hours, (b) at LeapXpert’s expense, and (c) shall be done in a manner so as not to materially interfere with the Customer’s business.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Customer hereby grants to LeapXpert and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to process the Customer Data solely to the extent necessary to provide, maintain, and improve the Services and perform all related obligations owed to Customer under this Agreement, or as may be required by law.

, which is incorporated into this Agreement by this reference, with respect to the provision and processing of Personal Data as defined in the DPA. LeapXpert will use commercially reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational

within the Services. Customer understands that LeapXpert and its Affiliates will process Customer Data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, this Agreement, including the DPA, and the Privacy Policy.
- INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
- Ownership Rights. Customer Data is Customer’s Confidential Information under this Agreement. Customer and its licensors retain all right, title and interest in and to the Customer Data and all of Customer’s Confidential Information provided under this Agreement, and LeapXpert obtains no rights in the foregoing except for the express rights granted in this Agreement. LeapXpert and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to Services and Usage Data (as defined below). Customer acknowledges that the Services are offered as online, hosted solutions, and that Customer has no right to obtain a copy of the underlying computer code for any Services, except (if applicable) for any downloadable Software, in object code format. LeapXpert may freely use and incorporate into LeapXpert’s products and services any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, corrections, or other feedback provided by Customer or by any Users or End Users relating to LeapXpert’s products or services. Feedback and any other suggestions are provided by Customer exclusively “AS IS,” in Customer’s sole discretion, and will not be used by LeapXpert in any way that identifies or permits identification of Customer, its Affiliates, Users, or End Users.
- Usage Data. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, LeapXpert may collect and use any data that is derived from the use of the Services or characteristics such as country of domicile, company size, or industry, in each case that is anonymized and aggregated such that such data could no longer directly or indirectly identify Customer, Customer’s Users or End Users, or any natural person (“Usage Data
”). - Updates. LeapXpert may update the Services from time to time and Customer may receive notifications of Updates. Any Updates to the Services are subject to this Agreement. Customer agrees that its purchase of licenses to the Services is neither contingent upon the delivery of any future functionality or features, nor dependent upon any oral or written comments made by LeapXpert with respect to future functionality or features.
- Third-Party Services. LeapXpert or other third parties may make available third-party products or services (“Third-Party Services”). These Third-Party Services may integrate with the Services and are not licensed by LeapXpert pursuant to this Agreement, but are governed by the third party provider’s terms and conditions and privacy policies that accompany them, which Customer may be required to separately accept. LeapXpert does not warrant or support Third-Party Services, unless expressly provided otherwise in an Order Form. LeapXpert is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of Customer Data resulting from access by such third party. The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with Third-Party Services. LeapXpert cannot guarantee the continued availability of such Third-Party Services and may cease supporting them if, for example and without limitation, the Third-Party Service provider ceases to make the Third-Party Service available for interoperation with the corresponding Service features in a manner acceptable to LeapXpert. Customer understands that LeapXpert is not responsible for providing technical support for the Third-Party Services and that LeapXpert is not responsible for the data hosting and data transfer practices followed by the providers of such Third-Party Services.
- FEES AND PAYMENT
- Fees and Payment. In consideration for the provision of Services, Customer agrees to pay to LeapXpert the fees and charges set out in each Order Form (the “Fees”). LeapXpert shall invoice the Customer for the Fees according to the payment terms specified in the Order Form. Invoices will be delivered to the Customer by email and are due and payable in full within thirty (30) days from receipt of the invoice or as stated in the applicable Order Form. Payment obligations are non-cancellable, regardless of utilization by the Customer and, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, Fees paid are non-refundable. Customer will pay the Fees through an accepted payment method as specified in the applicable Order Form. Unless otherwise set forth in the Order Form, Customer’s subscription to the Services will renew automatically in accordance with the renewal terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.3 below. During the Term, the Customer shall not be entitled to reduce their Services or User count.
- Late Payments. Any undisputed amounts not paid when due will be subject to interest from and including the date payment is due through and including the date that LeapXpert receives payment at a simple rate of one and one-half (1.5%) percent per month. If undisputed Fees are more than thirty (30) days overdue, then, following written notification from LeapXpert, LeapXpert may suspend Customer’s access to all or part of the Services until such unpaid Fees are paid in full.
- Payment Disputes. LeapXpert will not exercise its rights under Section 5.2 (Late Payments), 6.5 (Termination for Cause) or Section 6.4(i) (Suspension of Service) with respect to non-payment by Customer if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve such a dispute within thirty (30) days, each party will have the right to seek any remedies it may have under this Agreement, irrespective of any terms that would limit remedies on account of a dispute. For clarity, any undisputed amounts must be paid in full.
- Taxes. Fees are stated exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes
”). Customer will be responsible for paying all Taxes associated with the Fees, except for those taxes based on our net income. Should any Fees be subject to withholding tax by any government, Customer will reimburse LeapXpert for such
withholding tax. - Orders by Affiliates. Customer’s Affiliates may purchase Services directly from LeapXpert by executing an Order Form which is governed by the terms of this Agreement. Such Order Form will establish a new and separate agreement between the Customer’s Affiliate and the LeapXpert entity signing such Order Form. If the Affiliate resides in a different country than Customer, then the Order Form may include modifications to terms applicable to the transaction(s) (including but not limited to tax terms and governing law).
- Purchases from LeapXpert Partners. Customer may procure use of the Services from a third-party authorized reseller of LeapXpert, including third party marketplaces (“LeapXpert Partner
”) pursuant to a separate agreement with the LeapXpert Partner. Customer’s use of any Services procured through a LeapXpert Partner will be subject to the terms of this Agreement, and all fees payable (including all applicable taxes) for
such use will be payable to the LeapXpert Partner pursuant to the terms agreed to between Customer and LeapXpert Partner. Customer understands and agrees that, if Customer purchased the Services subscriptions via a LeapXpert Partner,
service credits and refunds payable under this Agreement may be payable or applied by LeapXpert Partner acting on behalf of LeapXpert in proportion to the fees paid by Customer to the LeapXpert Partner, and the discharge by the LeapXpert
Partner of such obligations will relieve LeapXpert of the same under this Agreement.
- TERM, TERMINATION, AND SUSPENSION
- Agreement Term. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and will remain effective until all Services ordered under the Agreement have expired or been terminated or the Agreement terminates in accordance with this Section 6. Access to the Services commences on the start date specified in the relevant Order Form and continue for the Subscription Term (as defined below) specified therein.
- Subscription Term. Unless otherwise set forth on the applicable Order Form, the initial subscription term for the Services commences on the start date specified in the relevant Order Form and continues for a period of three (3) years (“Subscription Term
”). - Renewal. Unless a party gives written notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the relevant Subscription Term, the Subscription Term will automatically renew for additional one (1) year periods. LeapXpert reserves the right to increase the Fees at the beginning of each Subscription Term, including any automatically renewed term. Any Fees for a renewed Subscription Term are due upon the date of renewal.
- Suspension. LeapXpert may suspend Customer’s access to the Services on the following grounds: (i) late payment/non-payment of undisputed Fees, per the process noted in Section 5.2 above; (ii) non-renewal of the Services by Customer; (iii) Customer’s or its Users’ breach of Section 2 (Prohibited Use); or (iv) in the event suspension is deemed necessary by LeapXpert to prevent or address the introduction of Malicious Software (as defined in Section 8.2 below), a security incident, or other harm to Customer, LeapXpert, or LeapXpert’s other customers. LeapXpert will notify Customer of any such suspension, use diligent efforts to attempt to limit, where commercially feasible, the suspension to affected Users or Services, and will immediately restore the availability of the same as soon as the issues leading to the suspension are resolved. Such suspension will in no way affect Customer’s other obligations under this Agreement.
- Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party in the event that (i) such other party materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days of such notice, or (ii) immediately in the event the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors.
- Pilot Trial Customers. LeapXpert may offer a pilot trial to Customer at no cost to trial certain Services. Upon the expiration of a Customer’s pilot trial, if Customer does not wish to proceed with a subscription to the Services, LeapXpert may immediately suspend Customer’s access to the Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, LeapXpert will have no obligation to process, maintain, store, or otherwise retain Customer Data beyond the end of the pilot trial period.
- CONFIDENTIALITY
- Each party will protect the other’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as it protects its own Confidential Information of similar nature or importance, and in any event, using no less than reasonable care. Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the receiving party may use the disclosing party’s Confidential Information solely to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Agreement, and will disclose such Confidential Information solely (i) to those of its respective employees, representatives, and agents who are bound by obligations to maintain the confidentiality of, and not misuse, such Confidential Information; (ii) as necessary to comply with an order or subpoena of any administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) as reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law or regulation. The provisions of this section will supersede any non-disclosure agreement by and between the parties entered into prior to this Agreement that would purport to address the confidentiality of any information shared by the parties, including Customer Data, and such agreement will have no further force or effect with respect to the foregoing. The receiving party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone may not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the receiving party, the disclosing party will be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.

- INDEMNIFICATION
- Indemnification by LeapXpert. LeapXpert will defend Customer and its Affiliates, from any third party claim alleging that Customer’s use of the Services as contemplated hereunder infringes such third party’s patent, copyright and/or trademark intellectual property rights (an “IP Claim
”), and will indemnify and hold harmless Customer and its Affiliates from and against any damages and costs awarded against Customer or its Affiliates, or agreed in settlement by LeapXpert (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting
from such IP Claim. LeapXpert will have no liability or obligation with respect to any IP Claim if such claim is caused in whole or in part by (i) unauthorized use of the Services by Customer, its Affiliates or Users; (ii) modification
of the Services by anyone other than LeapXpert or its representatives; (iii) or the combination, operation or use of the Services with other data, hardware or software not provided by LeapXpert. If Customer’s use of the Services results
(or in LeapXpert’s opinion is likely to result) in an IP Claim, LeapXpert may at its own option and expense (a) procure for Customer the right to continue using the foregoing items as set forth hereunder; (b) replace or modify them
to make them non-infringing; or (c) if options (a) or (b) are not commercially reasonably as determined by LeapXpert, then either Customer or LeapXpert may terminate Customer’s subscription to the Services, whereupon LeapXpert will
refund Customer, on a pro-rated basis, any Fees Customer has previously paid LeapXpert for the corresponding unused portion. The sections above state LeapXpert’s entire liability and Customer’s exclusive remedy with respect to an IP
Claim. - Indemnification by Customer. Customer will defend LeapXpert and its Affiliates from any third party claim (“Claim”), and will indemnify and hold harmless LeapXpert and its Affiliates from and against any damages and costs awarded against LeapXpert and its Affiliates, or agreed in settlement by Customer (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from such Claim, to the extent caused by: (i) Customer’s or its Affiliate’s unauthorized supply, disclosure, or processing of Customer Data, including Personal Data therein, (ii) Customer’s or its Affiliate’s violation of laws applicable to Customer’s or its Affiliate’s business.
- Indemnification Procedures. In the event of a potential indemnity obligation under this Section 10, the indemnified party will: (i) promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim, (ii) allow the indemnifying party the right to control the investigation, defence, and settlement (if applicable) of such claim at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, and (iii) upon request of the indemnifying party, provide all necessary cooperation at the indemnifying party’s expense. Failure by the indemnified party to notify the indemnifying party of a claim under this section will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section, however, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any litigation expenses that the indemnified party incurred prior to the time when notice is given or for any damages and/or costs resulting from any material prejudice caused by the delay or failure to provide notice to the indemnifying party in accordance with this section. The indemnifying party may not settle any claim that would bind the indemnified party to any obligation (other than payment covered by the indemnifying party or ceasing to use infringing materials) or require any admission of fault by the indemnified party, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any indemnification obligation under this Section 10 will not apply if the indemnified party settles or makes any admission with respect to a claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent.
