4. NON-ZEDDIT APPLICATIONS & OTHER THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS
4.1 Acquisition of Non-Zeddit Products and Services. Zeddit or third parties may make available third-party products or services, including, for example, Non-Zeddit Applications, data integrators, data warehouses, and implementations and other services. Any acquisition by Customer of such products or services, and any exchange of data between Customer and any non-Zeddit provider, product or service is solely between Customer and the applicable non-Zeddit provider. Zeddit does not warrant or support Non-Zeddit Applications or other non-Zeddit products or services. Customer will be solely responsible for and liable to any such non-Zeddit products or services, notwithstanding any inter-operation with the Services.
4.2 Non-Zeddit Applications and Customer Data. Customer grants Zeddit permission to allow the Non-Zeddit Application and its provider to access Customer Data as required for the interoperation of that Non-Zeddit Application with the Services. Zeddit is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of Customer Data resulting from access by such Non-Zeddit Application or its provider. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4 is intended to relieve Zeddit from responsibility for the provision of its own Services.
4.3 Integration with Non-Zeddit Applications. The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with Non-Zeddit Applications. To use such features, Customer may be required to obtain access to such Non-Zeddit Applications from their providers and may be required to grant Zeddit access to Customer’s account(s) on such Non-Zeddit Applications. Zeddit cannot guarantee the continued availability of such Service features, and may cease providing them without entitling Customer to any refund, credit, or other compensation, if for example and without limitation, the provider of a Non-Zeddit Application ceases to make the Non-Zeddit Application available for interoperation with the corresponding Service features in a manner acceptable to Zeddit.
5. FEES AND PAYMENT
5.1 Fees. Customer will pay all fees specified in the Pricing Proposal. Except as otherwise specified herein, (i) fees are typically collected monthly (unless stated otherwise), and (ii) payment obligations are non-cancellable and fees paid are non-refundable.
5.2 Invoicing and Payment. Unless otherwise stated, fees will be invoiced monthly in arrears and otherwise in accordance with any agreement with Customer. Unless otherwise stated, fees are due net 30 days from the invoice date. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Zeddit and notifying Zeddit of any changes to such information.
5.3 Overdue Charges. If any invoiced amount is not received by Zeddit by the due date, then without limiting Zeddit’s rights or remedies, those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower.
5.4 Suspension of Service. If any charge owing by Customer is 30 days or more overdue, Zeddit may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend Services and Content until such amounts are paid in full, provided that, other than for any Customer paying by credit card or direct debit and whose payment has been declined, Zeddit has given Customer at least 10 days’ prior notice that its account is overdue. In the event of a declined payment, Zeddit shall promptly notify Customer.
5.5 Payment Disputes. Zeddit will not exercise its rights under the “Overdue Charges” or “Suspension of Service” section above if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
5.6 Taxes. Zeddit's fees do not include 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 whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. If Zeddit has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, Zeddit will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides Zeddit with a valid tax exemption certificate authorised by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, Zeddit is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.
5.7 Future Functionality. Customer agrees that its purchases are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Zeddit regarding future functionality or features.
6. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSES
6.1 Reservation of Rights; Copyright Ownership and Other Intellectual Property Matters. Subject to the limited rights expressly granted hereunder, Zeddit, and (if applicable) its licensors reserve all of their right, title and interest in and to the Services, including all of their related intellectual property rights including copyright protections and restrictions. Unless otherwise set forth herein, Zeddit is the owner of all its work product or other data derived from the Services hereunder (including any metadata derived from any Customer Data hereunder). For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example only, Zeddit is permitted to use anonymised algorithms, parameters, models, trends, analyses, and training sets developed using the Customer Data; however, Customer shall retain all rights in any raw data it provides or shares with Zeddit. Customer may only use work product provided hereunder, including the data structures, as part of the Services solely for the purposes set forth under the applicable Pricing Proposal. No rights are granted to Customer hereunder other than as expressly set forth herein.
6.2 Third party services. Customer retains all rights and obligations to any Non-Zeddit Applications or other 3rd party services entered on the Customer’s behalf, with the Customer as the primary account holder, as part of the scope of work. Customer will retain all rights to any data, reports, visualisations or other work delivered to Customer on any Non-Zeddit Applications or third-party systems for which Customer is the primary account holder. Zeddit retains ownership of any work provided to customer on Zeddit’s platform, or on any third-party services for which Zeddit is the primary account holder.
6.3 License by Customer to Host Customer Data and Applications. Customer grants Zeddit, its Affiliates and applicable contractors a worldwide, limited-term license to host, copy, transmit, create derivations of, and display Customer Data for use by Customer with the Services under the terms of a Data Processing Agreement, to the extent necessary for Zeddit to provide the Services in accordance with this Agreement or as necessary for Zeddit to secure its intellectual property rights set forth in Section 6.1 above.
6.4 License by Customer to Use Feedback. Customer grants to Zeddit and its Affiliates a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use and incorporate into its services any suggestion, enhancement request, recommendation, correction or other feedback provided by Customer or Users relating to the operation of Zeddit’s or its Affiliates’ Services or Content or for any market insight which Zeddit may benefit from.
7. CONFIDENTIALITY
7.1 Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Subject to the terms herein, Confidential Information of Zeddit includes the Services; and Confidential Information of each party includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Pricing Proposal (including pricing), as well as business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.
7.2 Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement and (ii) except as otherwise authorised by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this “Confidentiality” section.
7.3 Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
7.4 References. Zeddit may reference Customer as a customer of Zeddit for marketing purposes and may include Customer’s name and logo on Zeddit’s customer lists and summarise generally the nature of any work being performed hereunder, subject to Customer’s prior written consent.
