The parties agree as follows:
Term and Termination.
1.1 Term. The Agreement begins on the Effective Date and will continue for the period identified in the Service Order as the Initial Term, or if no such period is identified in the Service Order, for a period of 1-month (such period, the “Initial Term“), and thereafter shall automatically renew for consecutive (1) month periods (each a “Renewal Term“, and each Renewal Term and the Initial Term, the “Term“), unless either party provides written notice to the other party at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current Term that it has elected not to renew the Agreement.

The parties may execute additional or amended Service Orders and/or Supplemental Terms for additional Services, upgraded tiers, service levels, or packages, and/or Supplemental Services during the Term (collectively, “Additional Orders“). Except as expressly set forth in such Additional Orders, the initial term of any Additional Order shall begin on the date of execution of Additional Order and end upon the expiration of the then in effect Term, and the Additional Order shall thereafter renew for subsequent Renewal Terms until terminated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and such Additional Order.
1.3 Termination During Trial Period. If a trial period is explicitly included in the Serviced Order, Subscriber may terminate the Agreement at any time during the first thirty (30) days following the Effective Date (the “Trial Period“) with immediate effect. For the avoidance of doubt, Subscriber's right to terminate pursuant to this Section 1.3 applies only during the Trial Period (i.e., the first ninety (30) days of the first Initial Term), and not during any other term or period of the Agreement, or any extension, additional purchase of services or software, or any renewal, automatic or otherwise, even if such extension, additional purchase, or renewal is for materially different services or terms and conditions.
1.4 Termination For Cause. Either party may terminate the Agreement before the end of the then current Term if the other party materially breaches the Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after the non-breaching party provides written notice to the breaching party of such material breach and the actions required to cure such breach.
1.5 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of the Agreement: (a) any amounts owed by Subscriber to Sticky Cards will be immediately due and payable, (b) all rights granted to Subscriber and its Authorized Users by Sticky Cards will immediately terminate, and (c) Subscriber shall immediately cease using the Services. Except when terminated by Subscriber pursuant to and in strict compliance with Section 1.3, Section 1.4, or Section 15, all Fees that would otherwise be due and payable by Subscriber under this Agreement for the remainder of the Term shall become immediately due and payable to Sticky Cards. Such payment obligation shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies available to Sticky Cards.

5. Service Level Requirements.
5.1 Uptime and Reliability. Subject to any limits described in the Documentation, Sticky Cards will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Hosted Services available and operational to Subscriber with an uptime of 99.99%, calculated on a Quarterly, per-minute basis (“Required Uptime” and the actual amount of uptime as calculated in accordance with the Agreement, the “Calculated Uptime“). “Quarter” means each of the three (3) month periods beginning on February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1 and ending on the day preceding the beginning of the next Quarter, and “Quarterly” shall have a corresponding meaning.
5.2 Exclusions. Any determination of whether Sticky Cards has met the Required Uptime shall not include any unavailability or disruption to the Hosted Services due to: (i) Subscriber’s use of the Services in a manner not authorized in the Agreement or the Documentation, (ii) problems affecting internet connectivity or internet infrastructure not solely provided by and under the direct control of Sticky Cards, or any force majeure event or other factor outside of the reasonable control of Sticky Cards (including but not limited to, denial of service attacks or third-party service outages), (iii) Subscriber’s (or one of its agents’ or venders’) equipment, software, network connections, utilities or other infrastructure, (iv) third party systems, acts or omissions or (v) Scheduled Maintenance (as defined below) or reasonable emergency maintenance. “Scheduled Maintenance” means maintenance that may affect the availability of the Hosted Services the scheduled time of which has been disclosed or made available to Subscriber through the Documentation or otherwise in writing at least 72 hours in advance thereof. Scheduled Maintenance will not exceed six (6) hours per month in the aggregate and, to the extent practicable, will be scheduled during the evening hours between 11:00pm and 4:00am Eastern Time the following day. In the event of any unavailability described above, Sticky Cards will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption, inaccessibility and/or inoperability of the Hosted Services in connection with outages, whether scheduled or not.
5.3 Service Level Credits. If Sticky Cards does not meet the Required Uptime specified above for any full Quarter during the Term, Subscriber will be eligible for a service level credit (“Service Level Credit“) to be calculated, as follows: (i) if the Calculated Uptime is 99.75% to 99.99% (inclusive) of the Quarter's minutes, Subscriber will be eligible for a credit in an amount equal to 5% of Subscriber’s Average Monthly Subscription Fees for each month of the following Quarter; or (ii) if the Calculated Uptime is 99.50% to 99.74% (inclusive) of the Quarter's minutes, Subscriber will be eligible for a credit in an amount equal to 7.5% of Subscriber’s Average Monthly Subscription Fees for each month of the following Quarter; or (iii) if the Calculated Uptime is less than 99.50% of the Quarter's minutes, Subscriber will be eligible for a credit in an amount equal to 10.0% of Subscriber’s Average Monthly Subscription Fees for each month of the following Quarter. Subscriber's “Average Monthly Subscription Fees” will be equal to the aggregate Subscription Fees actually paid by Subscriber to Sticky Cards during the twelve (12) months preceding the calculation divided by twelve; provided, that if Subscriber has not paid Subscription Fees for a period of twelve months prior to the date of calculation then Sticky Cards shall calculate the Average Monthly Subscription Fees on any reasonable basis, including the average of Subscription Fees actually paid over the number of months preceding the calculation during which Subscriber paid Subscription Fees. Subscriber shall only be eligible to receive Service Level Credits with respect to any Quarter if Subscriber notifies Sticky Cards in writing within thirty (30) days after the end of the Quarter for which the Service Level Credits are claimed. In the event after such notification Sticky Cards determines that Service Level Credits are not due, or that different Service Level Credits are due, Sticky Cards shall notify Subscriber in writing of that finding. Service Level Credits will be applied to the next invoice following Subscriber’s written request therefor and Sticky Cards’s confirmation of available credits.

Parties are responsible for their own attorneys’ fees, except that the successful or prevailing party to any claim shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, subject to the limitations on liability set forth herein. The arbitration proceeding will take place in Ontario, Canada, unless otherwise agreed. A court of competent jurisdiction will have the authority to enter judgment on the arbitrator’s decision and award. The parties agree to bring any claim or dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not as a class or collective action, and there will be no right or authority for any claim or dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class or collective action.

15. Miscellaneous Terms. Sticky Cards and Subscriber are independent contractors, and nothing herein may be construed to create any agency, partnership, or joint venture between them. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever. The Agreement is not intended to benefit, nor will it be deemed to give rise to, any rights in any third party. No ambiguity will be construed against any party based upon a claim that such party drafted the ambiguous language. The Agreement and any Service Order and Supplemental Terms will be governed by Ontario law, without regard to conflict of law principles. The Agreement, the Service Order(s), and any Supplemental Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior understanding (written or oral) on the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Service Order and the Agreement, the Service Order will control. Sticky Cards may make changes to the Agreement from time to time by providing Subscriber with at least twenty (20) days written notice of any such changes (“Change Notice”). Such Change Notice shall specify the effective date of such changes (which must be at least twenty (20) days after delivery of the notice) and Subscriber’s continued access or use of the Services on or after the effective date of any such changes constitutes Subscriber’s acceptance of and consent to any such changes. If Subscriber opposes any such changes to the Agreement, Subscriber may terminate the Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to Sticky Cards delivered prior to the effective date of any such changes. If any provision of the Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. In the event of a breach, in addition to any remedies at law or in equity, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek specific performance and immediate injunctive relief. Failure by either party to require performance or claim breach will not be construed as a waiver. A party will not be liable for any failure of or delay in the performance of the Agreement for the period that such failure or delay is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, strikes or labor disputes, embargoes, government orders or any other force majeure event. Subscriber may not assign the Agreement without the prior written consent of Sticky Cards, and if permission is secured, the assignor will provide Sticky Cards with advance written notice so that payment can be directed appropriately. Any assignment by Subscriber in violation of this provision will be null and void. The Agreement will be binding on the parties’ permitted heirs, successors, and assigns. For the avoidance of doubt, following any merger, consolidation, or change of control of Subscriber resulting in multiple Subscribers or customers of Sticky Cards consolidating into a single entity or subsidiary or other affiliates, and regardless of whether the foregoing would constitute an assignment prohibited by this Section 15, all such obligations and Fees owed by Subscriber shall continue separately and remain in full force and effect for the remainder of the then in effect Term. Subscriber hereby grants to Sticky Cards a limited, revocable license to use Subscriber’s name, logo and identifying marks in advertising Sticky Cards’s services, subject to Subscriber’s reasonable objection.
