Fieldpoint Service Application Inc. (“Company”) requires users of its websites and Services, including any entity executing an order form (“Customer”) that references these terms to accept and adhere to these terms and conditions (“Agreement”). This Agreement governs the purchase and use of Company’s Software and Online Service (together, the “Services”) and is accepted by executing an order form that references this Agreement or by using or accessing Company’s Services. Company may update this Agreement from time to time and Customer will have 30 days to reject the updated terms by providing written notice to Company. If Customer continues to use or receive the Services following such period, the updated Agreement will be deemed accepted.

1. Order Form. Services will be ordered by Customer pursuant to executed order forms (each, an “Order Form”). Each Order Form will include the specific Services being ordered and the associated fees and any additional terms as applicable. Upon execution by both parties, each additional Order Form will be deemed an addendum hereto and will be subject to all of the terms and conditions herein. Any one of Customer’s subsidiaries or affiliates may also order Services under this Agreement by entering into an Order Form signed by such subsidiary or affiliate and Company and agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and such Order Form.

2. Software/Service.

2.1. General. Minimum system requirements may affect Customer’s ability to use the Services. Customer may need to use certain third-party products, software and/or services to access and use the Services.

2.2. Rights for Use. Subject to timely payment of all applicable Fees and Customer’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company hereby grants to Customer, during the Term (as defined below), as applicable, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right to access and use the Services identified on an applicable Order Form or otherwise provided by Company.

2.3. On Premises Instance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event Customer elects to install the Company software (“Software”) outside of Company’s online servers at any time, the additional terms and conditions set forth in Appendix A attached hereto shall apply in addition to, and not in lieu of (except as may be expressly set forth otherwise therein), the terms and conditions herein.

2.4. Accounts; Security. Access to or use of certain portions and features of the Services may require Customer to create an account (“Account”).

Customer is entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of its Account(s), including the password(s), and any other authentication credentials associated with Customer’s use of the Services. Accounts are not transferrable. Customer agrees to promptly notify Company if Customer becomes aware or suspects any unauthorized use of its accounts, including any unauthorized access or attempted access. Customer is responsible for all activities that occur under its Account(s). Further, Customer is the primary account holder and is responsible for all charges made by additional users added to the Account(s). A user license is required for each person utilizing Customer’s master account, or other data generated through the use of the Service (each a “User License”, and each user an “Authorized User”). Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer may not develop, write or use any application programming interface, web service or other application or code to access, connect to or communicate with the Services and/or any databases or tabled contained therein without obtaining the necessary connector license(s) from Company upon payment of Company’s applicable licenses for same. Any sharing of such data to reduce the number of licenses required or sharing account information in any way is strictly prohibited. The number of User Licenses shall be as set forth in the applicable Order Form. Company may increase or decrease the number of User Licenses available to Customer. Any such increase to the number of User Licenses (and any applicable Fees) shall become effective upon notice from Company, and any such decrease to the number of User License shall become effective upon the first day of the then-following Renewal Term (as defined below).

2.4.1. Compliance. During the Term (as defined herein) and for a period of two years thereafter, Customer shall keep all usual and proper records relating to the Services and Customer’s use thereof. Company may, from time to time and upon reasonable prior written notice, conduct, or request that Customer conduct, an internal audit of all Services in use throughout Customer’s organization, comparing the number of licenses in use to the number of User Licenses issued to and/or paid for by Customer. With respect to any such audit by Company, Customer shall permit Company’s representative(s) access to its premises, records and computer systems for such audit purposes, which audit shall occur during Customer’s normal business hours and shall not unreasonably interfere with Customer’s normal business activities. By conducting any such audit, Company does not waive its rights to enforce the terms hereof or to protect Company’s intellectual property by any other means permitted by law. If the audit permitted herein reveals Customer’s use of licenses beyond those permitted by the terms hereof, Customer shall promptly (i) acquire from Company sufficient User Licenses at the then-applicable retain pricing to cover any such deficiency for Customer’s past and then-present use, and (ii) reimburse Company for the cost of such audit.

2.6. Maintenance. Customer agrees that Company may install software updates, error corrections, and software upgrades to the Services as Company deems necessary from time to time. Following such installation, all such updates, error corrections and upgrades will be considered part of the Services for purposes of this Agreement.

2.7. Applicable Laws. Customer’s access to and use of the Service is subject to all applicable international, federal, state and local laws and regulations. Customer may not use the Service or any information data or Customer Content in violation of or to violate any law, rule or regulation.

Following expiration or termination of the Agreement or a Customer account, if applicable, Company may deactivate the applicable Customer account(s) and delete any data therein. Customer grants Company the right to host, use, process, display and transmit Customer Content to provide the Services pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Order Form.

4. Third Party Services. Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by Company in writing, Customer is prohibited from linking to the Service, framing of all or any portion of the Service, and using tools or functionality other than as provided by the Company to extract data from the Service. Company reserves the right to disable any unauthorized links or frames. Company will not be responsible and expressly disclaims any liability for any third party Services that Customer may use or connect to through the Service. If Customer activates any APIs or links to enable data sharing through the Service or directs Company to do so on its behalf, Customer thereby authorizes Company to send and receive Customer Content with any such activated third-party service and represents and warrants to Company that Customer has all appropriate right and title to grant such authorization. Customer will be solely responsible for any third-party fees related to the third-party Services and compliance with any applicable third-party service terms.

5. Intellectual Property.

5.1. Proprietary Rights. Company’s intellectual property, including without limitation the Service, its trademarks and copyrights and excluding any Customer Content contained therein, and any modification thereof, are and will remain the exclusive property of Company and its licensors. No licenses or rights are granted to Customer except for the limited rights expressly granted in this Agreement.

5.2. Feedback. Customer agrees that advice, feedback, criticism, or comments provided to Company related to the Service are given to Company and may be used by Company freely and without restriction and will not enable Customer to claim any interest, ownership or royalty in Company’s intellectual property, including, without limitation, any comments or feedback intended to improve the Services or Company’s other products. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer acknowledges and agrees that any customizations, changes, revisions or alterations made to the Services at the request of Customer or in connection with communications with Company are and always shall be the intellectual property of Company, and that any such improvements and/or alterations will not place any fiduciary or other obligation on Company, and Company is free to use any such improvements, customizations and alterations without additional compensation to Customer whatsoever.

6. Payment and Taxes.

6.1. Payment. Fees are set forth in the applicable Order Form (“Fees”). Set-up fees, if any, are due within 10 days of the date of the invoice therefor. Set-up fees, monthly subscription fees, transaction fees, and all other fees owed by Customer to Company will be automatically debited from the bank account, credit card, or other electronic payment method for which Customer has provided applicable account information (“Electronic Payment Information”). In the event Customer provides its Electronic Payment Information to Company, Customer authorizes Company to charge the credit card information provided, or debit the bank account information provided, as applicable, beginning as of the Effective Date and monthly thereafter (or as may be set forth otherwise in any Order Form), for all applicable Fees. Customer understands that this authorization will remain in effect until it is canceled in writing and agrees to notify Company in writing of any changes in Customer’s account information or termination of this authorization at least 15 days prior to the next billing date. If the payment date falls on a weekend or holiday, Customer understands that payments may be executed on the next business day. For ACH debits to a checking/savings account, Customer understands that because these are electronic transactions, these funds may be withdrawn from Customer’s account as of the payment date, and that it will have limited time to report and dispute errors. In the case the ACH transaction is returned for Non-Sufficient Funds (“NSF”) Customer understands that Company may, at its discretion, attempt to process the charge again within 30 days and agrees to an additional charge for each attempt returned NSF, which will be initiated as a separate transaction from the authorized payment. Customer has certified that the business bank account information provided is enabled for ACH transactions and agrees to reimburse Company for all penalties and fees incurred as a result of Customer’s bank rejecting ACH debits or credits as a result of the account not being properly configured for ACH transactions. Both parties agree to be bound by NACHA Operating Rules as they pertain to these transactions. Customer acknowledges that the origination of ACH transactions to its account must comply with the provisions of U.S. law. Customer agrees not to dispute these scheduled transactions with its bank or credit card company provided the transactions correspond to the terms indicated in this Agreement. In the event Customer does not provide its Electronic Payment Information or otherwise withdraws its consent to charge the credit card information provided, or debit the bank account information provided, as applicable, Company will send invoices to the contact(s) provided in an Order Form for each such Customer (or to the contact(s) otherwise provided by Customer for such payment purposes), and, unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Order Form, the Fees for each such Customer shall be due and payable within 30 days of receipt of the invoice therefor. Undisputed amounts that are past due will be subject to a monthly charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. Customer agrees to pay all reasonable costs of collection in the event any amount is not paid when due. Company, upon notice to Customer, which notice may be in the form of an invoice, will have the right to change Fees effective any time, which right will include, without limitation, the right to charge a Fee for new features or functions of the Service or for features or functions that have previously been offered at no charge. Unless otherwise noted in the Order Form, all Fees are payable in United States Dollars, and non-refundable.

6.2. Professional Services. Company may offer, and Customer may purchase (subject to availability), as a supplement to Customer’s purchase of the Services, hourly blocks of implementation, integration, customization and/or training sessions (each a “Block Session”). Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) any unused Block Sessions, or portion thereof, shall expire and be of no further effect or value as of the date that is twelve months after the date on which Customer purchased such Block Session(s), and (ii) any fees paid by Customer for Block Sessions which expired as set forth above shall be non-refundable to Customer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Company shall have the right to adjust the pricing and details of the Block Sessions at any time, without notice to Customer; provided, however, any such changes shall not affect Block Sessions purchased prior thereto, unless mutually agreed upon by the parties.

6.3. Taxes. Company Fees do not include any local, state, national, federal or foreign taxes, tariffs, levies or duties of any nature including value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes (“Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this Section. Company may invoice taxes to Customer and Customer will pay such taxes unless Customer provides Company with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
