Order Forms are not effective or deemed entered into until signed by an authorized representative of each party. These Terms and Conditions apply to any attached Order Form and all subsequent Order Forms to the exclusion of any other terms or conditions that either party seeks to impose or incorporate or that are implied by course of dealing. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Conditions and any Order Form, the terms and conditions in such Order Form will govern solely with respect to such Order Form and the services provided in connection therewith.

The features and functionality of the Platform available will be determined by the Tier described on the applicable Order Form (details available here https://try.zageno.com/pricing-plans-features, (the “Tier Page”)). The Tier Page is incorporated herein by reference.

1.3  Limitations.

a          Customer will not provide access to the Platform to any person who is not an employee or contractor of Customer (each, an “Authorized User”). Zageno will enable account creation for the designated list of Authorized Users’ provided by Customer to Zageno in connection with the Configuration Services. Customer is solely responsible for, and will be solely liable for, all uses of accounts linked to Customer’s or its Authorized Users’ login credentials (whether or not authorized) and its and their use of the Platform, and for ensuring that all Authorized Users’ use of the Platform complies with this Agreement. Customer and its Authorized Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their respective password and account.

b          Except as expressly permitted hereunder Customer will not and will not permit or authorize any third party to: (i) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code or underlying structure, ideas or algorithms of any of the Platform; (ii) modify, translate or create derivative works based on any of the Platform or Documentation; (iii) copy, rent, lease, distribute, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer or allow any lien, security interest or other encumbrance on any of the Platform or Documentation; (iv) use any of the Platform or Documentation for timesharing or service bureau purposes or otherwise for the benefit of a third party; (v) hack, manipulate, interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of or otherwise attempt to gain unauthorized access to any of the Platform or their related systems, hardware or networks or any content or technology incorporated in any of the foregoing; (vi) remove or obscure any proprietary notices or labels of Zageno or its suppliers on any of the Platform or Documentation; (vii) access or use the Platform or Documentation (or any part thereof) to build a competitive or substantially similar product or service; or (viii) use the Platform or the Documentation other than for its legitimate business purposes as contemplated by this Agreement.

1.4  Third-Party Services. The Platform may enable access to or integration with certain third party services, products, solutions, software or technology (collectively, the “Third Party Services”) to enable Customer’s use thereof. Customer may elect, via the Platform, to enable the access to or integration with a Third Party Service that is permitted via the Platform. Zageno may share with each such Third Party Service all Customer Data that is requested or otherwise accessed by such Third Party Service. Any data, information or other materials collected via or received by Zageno from any Third Party Service will be deemed Customer Data.

2      MARKETPLACE

2.1  Purchasing. Customer can place orders for products and/or services (“Products”) offered and supplied by third-party suppliers or vendors (“Suppliers”) on the Platform. Orders for Products placed by Customer on the Platform are “Orders”.

2.2  Orders and Vendor of Record. All Orders will be fulfilled by Suppliers; Products are supplied by Suppliers and shipped directly from Supplier to Customer.

a          Certain Suppliers may be indicated as “Preferred Suppliers” on the Platform. For any Order placed on the Platform for Products supplied by a Preferred Supplier, Zageno may be listed as the vendor of record for such Products, and Customer will pay Zageno directly for such Products.

b          Suppliers not listed on the Platform as a Preferred Supplier are “Procurement Service Suppliers.” An Order placed on the Platform for Products supplied by a Procurement Service Supplier is deemed a request by Customer for Zageno to submit a purchase order for such Order to the applicable Procurement Service Supplier on behalf of Customer (such Order, a “Procurement Service Order”). Solely if and to the extent that Customer places a Procurement Service Order on the Platform, Customer hereby appoints Zageno as its authorized agent to, in accordance with any Procurement Service Order and the Authorization Form set forth on Exhibit B (the “Authorization Form”), and in Customer’s name and on Customer’s behalf, submit a purchase order with Procurement Service Supplier with or for Customer’s account with such Procurement Service Supplier, to correspond with such Procurement Service Supplier regarding such Procurement Service Order, and to pay Procurement Service Suppliers for such Procurement Service Order. Such appointment and authorization will be effective during the Term and revocable only upon the mutual written agreement of both parties that is validly executed by authorized representatives thereof. For Procurement Service Orders, the applicable Procurement Service Supplier may be listed as the vendor of record for such Products, and Customer will remit the appropriate payment for such Products to Zageno who will pay the Procurement Service Supplier for such Products on Customer’s behalf. Customer may only revoke, amend or limit the Authorization Form upon ninety (90) days written notice to Zageno; such revocation, amendment, or limit may restrict Customer from purchasing Products from Procurement Service Suppliers. The authorization set out in the Authorization Form shall terminate following the Term.

2.3  Order Confirmation. All Orders are subject to the confirmation of the applicable Supplier; an Order is not confirmed until Zageno provides written confirmation to Customer (notification via email or the Platform portal sufficient). Zageno will use reasonable efforts to confirm an Order within twenty four (24) hours of an Order’s authorization or approval pursuant to this Agreement. A Supplier may respond to an Order and offer, for each Product included in the Order, different pricing for Products, different Product volume or unit number availability, different Product shipping costs or timing, or other terms that differ from the initial Order; Zageno will provide notice of such different terms (such notice, the “Order Exception”) to Customer. Customer may accept the Order Exception via the Platform (in which case, such new terms supersede the prior Order and such new terms are deemed the Order), or Customer may reject the Order Exception, in which case the applicable Order will be cancelled.

2.4  Suppliers. All Orders are subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Supplier, available here https://zageno.com/c/supplier-terms and the terms and details listed on the Platform page for such Product (collectively, the “Supplier Policies”). Supplier Policies include shipping and return policies of the applicable Supplier as well as the warranties for any Product. The Supplier Policies are subject to change; before placing any Orders, Customer must review the applicable Supplier Policies as they may be updated, and will govern the purchase of any Product. As between Zageno and Customer, in the event of a conflict between the Supplier Policies and this Agreement, this Agreement will govern. The Supplier Policies of a Supplier may not include delivery and shipping terms, product warranties, or cancellation and return terms; solely to the extent any such term or warranty is not included in the Supplier Policies applicable to an Order, the relevant default terms or warranty available here https://zageno.com/c/supplier-terms will apply to such Order (the “Default Policies”). The Default Policies are subject to change; before placing any Orders, Customer must review the applicable Default Policies as they may be updated, and, subject to the foregoing sentence, will govern the purchase of any Product.

2.5  Authorization. Certain Authorized Users will be designated by Customer in writing or appointed by Customer via the Platform as “Administrative Users”. Administrative Users have the permissions to act on behalf of the Customer, including to remove or authorize new Authorized Users, or to designate Authorized Users as accounts with the authority to approve or accept certain Orders or Order Exceptions initiated by other Authorized Users (the Authorized Users with such approval authority, the “Approvers”). Orders will not be processed (or for a Procurement Service Order, submitted to the applicable Procurement Service Supplier) until approved by an applicable Approver. Any Order or Order Exception approved or accepted by an Approver account (whether or not such action was authorized or permitted by Customer) will be fully processed and submitted and subject to the Supplier Policies and this Agreement. More information regarding the permissions and authority of Administrative Users and the authorization procedures is available here https://zageno.com/c/solutions/.

2.6  Product Pricing. Prices for Products are listed on the appropriate Platform page for such Product, and are set by Zageno at Zageno’s sole discretion; prices are subject to change. Customer must remit the price listed on the Platform for each such Product subject to any additional discounts to which Zageno may offer at its sole discretion or as otherwise agreed to in writing by Customer and Zageno, or, if applicable, the revised price set out in an Order Exception accepted by Customer, plus any shipping charges or Fees and any Taxes or customs duties (collectively, the “Total Price”).

Such results and the anonymized data are not Customer Data hereunder.

In addition, if any payment has not been received by Zageno within thirty (30) days from the time such payment is due, Zageno may suspend access to the Platform or Services until such payment is made.

Collection of credit card information and the processing of payment of Fees by credit card will be performed by third party payment processers (the “Payment Processors”). Customer will be subject to the applicable Payment Processor’s terms and conditions for the processing of payments, as the same may be modified by such Payment Processor from time to time (collectively, the “Payment Processer Terms”).

Customer will provide accurate information with respect to the applicable method of payment and agrees to promptly contact Zageno if any such information needs to be updated. Customer will ensure that it has sufficient funds or credit (as applicable) associated with the selected method of payment. Customer understands that the amounts charged or debited may vary and that this authorization will remain in effect during the Term. If an ACH payment is returned from the applicable bank account for insufficient or uncollected funds or for erroneous information, Zageno may reinitiate the returned ACH debit to the applicable bank account. Any amounts owed to Zageno that cannot be collected by ACH debit may be charged to any backup credit card on file for Customer. All Fees will be paid in the currency specified in the applicable invoice. Unless otherwise stated herein, all Fees are non-refundable.

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent; provided that either party may assign this Agreement to an acquirer of or successor to all or substantially all of its business or assets to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock, reorganization or otherwise. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either party otherwise than in accordance with this Section 10 will be null and void. This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and that all waivers and modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and a party does not have any authority of any kind to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever (except as provided herein with respect to Procurement Service Orders and Procurement Service Suppliers and as set out in the Authorization Form). Any unauthorized use of the Platform or Documentation will cause irreparable harm and injury to Zageno for which there is no adequate remedy at law. In addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement, at law or in equity, Customer further agrees that Zageno will be entitled to injunctive relief in the event Customer uses the Platform or Documentation in violation of the limited license granted herein or uses the Platform or Documentation in any way not expressly permitted by this Agreement. All notices under this Agreement will be in writing and sent to the recipient’s address set forth in the most recent Order Form (or other address requested in writing by a party) and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or email; the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service; and upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

Each party will be excused from performance for any period during which, and to the extent that, it is prevented from performing any obligation or service, in whole or in part, as a result of a cause beyond its reasonable control and without its fault or negligence, including, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of war, epidemics, fire, communication line failures, power failures, earthquakes, floods, blizzard, or other natural disasters (but excluding failure caused by a party’s financial condition or any internal labor problems (including strikes, lockouts, work stoppages or slowdowns, or the threat thereof)) (a “Force Majeure Event”). Delays in performing obligations due to a Force Majeure Event will automatically extend the deadline for performing such obligations for a period equal to the duration of such Force Majeure Event. Except as otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, in the event such non-performance continues for a period of thirty (30) days or more, the party not affected by the force majeure event may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the other party. Upon the occurrence of any Force Majeure Event, the affected party will give the other party written notice thereof as soon as reasonably practicable of its failure of performance, describing the cause and effect of such failure, and the anticipated duration of its inability to perform. The Agreement and the performance thereof will be governed interpreted, construed and regulated by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without reference to its choice of law rules. All disputes arising out of the Agreement will be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the International Arbitration Rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc.
