PRIVACY AND USER DATA

Data Privacy. You may be asked, or choose, to provide personal information in a questionnaire, application, form, or similar document or service in connection with your use of the Services. Except as provided in connection with a Customer Agreement, any personal information that you provide to us will be subject to the Privacy Policy. However, Ontra’s use of personal data provided by you in your capacity as a Customer Authorized User and information provided to Ontra by or through a Customer pursuant to or in connection with a Customer Agreement may, instead or also, be subject to the terms and conditions of such Customer Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, and consistent with Applicable Law, the Privacy Policy governs Ontra’s use of the personal information you provide to Ontra or through the Services, including End User Data. In the event that you provide any personal information about or on behalf of another person or entity in connection with the Services or your use thereof, you hereby represent and warrant that you have obtained all right, permission, authority and consent required under Applicable Law to provide this personal information to Ontra and allow Ontra to use, handle and share this personal information in the manner set forth in our Privacy Policy.

You understand and agree that Ontra may monitor, collect, and compile data and information related to or derived from your use of the Services, including any End User Data you post or upload, in each case, in an aggregate and anonymized manner (the “Aggregated Data”). All right, title, and interest in Aggregated Data, and all intellectual property rights therein, belong to and are retained solely by Ontra.

SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION

Term. These Terms begin on the date you first use the Services and continue as long as you have an User Account with Ontra and/or continue to use the Services.

Suspension or Termination for Violation of these Terms. Ontra reserves the right to take down any End User Data or suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time if it determines in its sole discretion that you have violated these Terms or that your use or access to the Services is causing or may cause immediate, material or ongoing harm to Ontra, the Site, the Platforms, the Services, another User or Customer, or any of our or our affiliates’ vendors, including without limitation our subprocessors.

Service Suspension. In addition to the foregoing rights, you understand that from time to time, your access and use of the Services may be temporarily unavailable, impaired, or suspended by Ontra due to any of the following: (i) scheduled maintenance, (ii) unscheduled emergency maintenance, (iii) your use of the Services (A) in violation of these Terms or (B) that causes, or may cause, immediate, material or ongoing harm to Ontra, the Site, the Platforms, the Services, another User or Customer, or any of Ontra or its affiliates’ respective vendors; (iv) one or more third party vendors suspending or terminating Ontra’s access to or use of its products or services that are required to enable you to access or use the Services; or (vi) as a result of any governing legal or regulatory decree, guidance or opinion, a force majeure event, or any other event beyond the reasonable control of Ontra. Ontra will endeavor to provide you with advanced notice of any suspension to the extent practicable. Except as otherwise specified in a Customer Agreement, Ontra will have no liability to you for a suspension of the Services.

Termination of the Platform Services. As a Customer Authorized User, you may delete your User Account at any time by contacting [email protected], at which time you will lose the ability to access or use the Platform and the license(s) granted to you as an Customer Authorized User pursuant to these Terms and/or a Customer Agreement will terminate. Account termination may result in destruction of any End User Data associated with your User Account. Because your access to and use of the Platform Services is subject to the Customer Agreement, you understand that the Customer may suspend or terminate your User Account at its discretion or that we may suspend or terminate your User Account pursuant to the Customer Agreement without prior notice to you. Upon termination of your access to the Platform Services you must immediately cease all access to and use of the Platform Services.

You understand and acknowledge that through your use of or access to the Services, you may have access to or receive certain nonpublic information regarding Ontra’s business, products and services or regarding other Users. You agree that you will not use or disclose any information you receive through the Services to any person except as required for your use of the Services, and that you will exercise a reasonable degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of that information.

Ontra’s Confidentiality Obligations. In addition to any obligations Ontra may have pursuant to a Customer Agreement, Ontra understands and acknowledges that it will have access to or come into possession of your End User Data through your use of or access to the Services, and Ontra will likewise exercise a reasonable degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of your End User Data.

Information, comments, ideas, suggestions, Feedback or other materials submitted to Ontra through the Site will not be confidential. You understand and agree that Ontra reserves the right to freely use and/or disseminate such submissions on an unrestricted basis for any purpose.

INDEMNIFICATION OF ONTRA

You will indemnify and hold harmless Ontra, its affiliates, and its and its affiliates’ respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Ontra in connection with any action, claim or proceeding brought by a third party (excluding subcontractors and agents of Ontra) arising out of or in relation to (a) in the case of Customer Authorized Users making use of the Platform Services, unless otherwise specified in the relevant Customer Agreement, your use of, posting, or other transmission of your End User Data in connection with the Platform Services, your use of the Platform Services in violation of Section 2 or 5 these Terms and (b) in the case of all other Users, your use of the Services, including your use of, posting or other transmission of your End User Data, or your violation of these Terms.

LIMITED WARRANTY

The transmission of data in connection with the use of the Services is subject to the potential for errors, omissions, delays and losses that may give rise to loss or damage to your End User Data (a “Data Event”). You understand these risks are inherent to the Services, and that you are responsible for adopting reasonable measures to limit the impact of a Data Event. If you experience a Data Event, please notify Ontra immediately at [email protected]. Ontra will use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly remedy any nonconformity or defect in the Services that resulted in a Data Event upon discovering it. Ontra will not be responsible to address or remedy any Data Event to the extent, (a) you fail to promptly notify Ontra of such Data Event, (b) the Data Event was caused by software or other equipment that was not provided by Ontra, or (c) the Data Event arises from your breach of these Terms. You understand and agree that, except as otherwise specified in a Customer Agreement, the remedies described in the foregoing paragraph will be your sole remedy for any Data Event and that Ontra will have no further liability to you in connection with such Data Event.

EXCEPT AS EXPLICITLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS OR A CUSTOMER AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES AND THE ONTRA PROPERTY ARE PROVIDED TO YOU “AS IS” AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND ONTRA AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, PARTNERS, PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES AND EACH OF ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MANAGERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, CONTRACTORS, REPRESENTATIVES AND AGENTS, AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (ONTRA AND ALL SUCH PARTIES TOGETHER, THE “ONTRA PARTIES”) HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. THE ONTRA PARTIES MAKE NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND THAT THE SERVICES AND THE ONTRA PROPERTY, OR RESULTS OF THE USE THEREOF, WILL MEET YOUR OR ANY OTHER PERSON’S REQUIREMENTS, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, ACHIEVE ANY INTENDED RESULT, BE COMPATIBLE OR WORK WITH ANY SOFTWARE, SYSTEM OR OTHER SERVICES, OR BE SECURE, ACCURATE, COMPLETE, FREE OF HARMFUL CODE, OR ERROR FREE. THE ONTRA PARTIES WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR THE ACCURACY, COPYRIGHT COMPLIANCE, LEGALITY, OR DECENCY OF MATERIAL CONTAINED IN OR ACCESSED THROUGH THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY ONTRA PROPERTY, OR ANY CLAIMS, ACTIONS, SUITS, PROCEDURES, COSTS, EXPENSES, DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES ARISING OUT OF USE OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOUR PARTICIPATION IN, THE SERVICES. THE ONTRA PARTIES MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING SUGGESTIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS OF SERVICES OR PRODUCTS OFFERED OR PURCHASED THROUGH OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES. SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU BUT WILL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN A CUSTOMER AGREEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN NO EVENT WILL ONTRA OR THE ONTRA PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, ENHANCED, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLDUDNG, INCREASED COSTS, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR LOST BUSINESS, REVENUES, OR PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL OR REPUTATION, USE, INABILITY TO USE, LOSS, INTERRUPTION, DELAY OR RECOVERY OF ANY DATA, OR BREACH OF DATA OR SYSTEM SECURITY, COST OF REPLACEMENT GOODS OR SERVICES, OR ERROR OR INTERRUPTION OF USE OR FOR LOSS OR INACCURACY OR CORRUPTION OF DATA) ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, IN EACH CASE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES OR SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES WERE OTHERWISE FORESEEABLE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL ONTRA’S OR THE ONTRA PARTIES’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES EXCEED $100. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT LIMIT ANY LIABILITY OF ONTRA FOR FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL OR CERTAIN OTHER DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS, REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH ONTRA AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM ONTRA.

Summary. Most of your concerns can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction by contacting us at [email protected]. In the unlikely event that we are unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction (or if Ontra has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes that you bring in your capacity as a User and/or in relation to these Terms through binding arbitration rather than in a court of general jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, any dispute you may have in your capacity as a Customer Authorized User or on behalf of the Customer that authorized your use of the Platform Services shall be handled by Ontra and the Customer pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in the Customer Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, less costly and less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than a court does, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. In any litigation between you and Ontra over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND ONTRA WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.

Exceptions. As limited exceptions to the Section entitled “Summary” above, and subject to the Section entitled “Exclusive Venue” below, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either party’s right to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court in the New York County, New York or any United States county where you live or work; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of law and competent jurisdiction; or (d) file suit in a court of general jurisdiction to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

Arbitration Agreement. These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Ontra and you agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding, before a single arbitrator in the County of New York in the State of New York, the United States of America. You also acknowledge and agree that Ontra’s officers, directors, managers, employees and independent contractors (“Personnel”) are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, all Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as the third-party beneficiary hereof. Any arbitration between you and Ontra will proceed in the English language and be governed by the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect (collectively, “JAMS Rules”) by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes. The arbitrator shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with the JAMS Rules. You understand and agree that, except as expressly provided otherwise herein, the arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. YOU AGREE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU AND ONTRA ARE EACH WAIVING ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. This Section 12 will survive termination of these Terms.

Notice. If you or Ontra intends to seek arbitration, the party seeking to initiate the arbitration proceeding must first send, by U.S. certified mail, nationally recognized overnight courier (with all fees pre-paid), or email (with confirmation of transmission), a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) to the other party. A Notice to Ontra should be sent via U.S. mail or other nationally recognized overnight courier addressed to Notice of Dispute, InCloud, LLC, 2041 East Street PMB39, Concord, CA 94520, Attn: General Counsel with a copy of the Notice submitted via email to to [email protected] (the “Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). Upon receipt of a Notice, Ontra and you will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute described in the Notice. If Ontra and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the dispute within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Ontra may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Ontra or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Ontra is entitled.

Arbitration Costs. The JAMS Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. The prevailing party in any arbitration action or proceeding will be entitled to receive from the non-prevailing party all costs, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the prevailing party in connection with that action or proceeding, whether or not the controversy is reduced to judgment or award. The prevailing party will be that party that is determined by the arbitrator(s) to have prevailed on the major disputed issues. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the value of your claim is less than ten thousand ($10,000) dollars, and the arbitrator, upon final disposition of the case, finds the substance of your claim and/or the relief sought was not frivolous or initiated for an improper purpose, Ontra will pay for the reasonable filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND ONTRA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING AND THAT ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this provision is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Section 12 will be null and void.

Exclusive Venue. In any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits either you or Ontra to litigate any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court, then the foregoing arbitration agreement will not apply to either party and the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services will be in the state or federal courts of and located in, respectively, New York County in the State of New York, the United States of America, or the federal district in which that county falls.

Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Ontra modifies this arbitration provision, other than a change to our address for delivery of a Notice, you may reject the modification by sending us written notice within 30 days of being notified of that modification to Ontra’s Notice Address, in which case this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected, will continue to govern any disputes between you and Ontra.

The above-written information must be sent to our registered “Copyright Agent” as follows:

Copyright Agent c/o InCloud, LLC, 2041 East Street PMB39, Concord, CA 94520, [email protected]

Upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement, we reserve the right to: (x) remove or disable access to the infringing material; (y) notify the content provider who is accused of infringement that we have removed or disabled access to the applicable material; and (z) terminate such content provider’s access to the Services if he or she is a repeat offender.

If you believe that your End User Data that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your End User Data, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the End User Data that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the End User Data appeared before it was removed or disabled; (3) a statement that you have a good faith belief that the End User Data was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the End User Data; and (4) your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court in the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Ontra is located, and that such person or entity will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement. If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, Ontra may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed End User Data or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the End User Data provider, member, or user, the removed End User Data may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Ontra’s sole discretion.
