Folio will also update the “Last Updated” date on the top of these Master Terms. Unless otherwise provided, new terms are effective immediately for new customers of the Services.  If Folio makes material changes to these Master Terms, Folio may (and where required by law, will) also provide notification of changes in another way that Folio believes is reasonably likely to reach Customer, such as via email or another manner through the Platform (which may include posting an announcement on the Services). Folio may require Customer to provide consent to the updated Master Terms in a specified manner before further use of the Services is permitted.  IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE CHANGES AFTER RECEIVING A NOTICE OF SUCH CHANGES, CUSTOMER SHALL STOP ACCESSING THE SERVICES. 

PLEASE READ SECTION 15.8 CAREFULLY AS IT CONTAINS PROVISIONS THAT GOVERN HOW TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND FOLIO AND CERTAIN OTHER PARTIES, INCLUDING AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE THAT REQUIRES (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS) THAT ALL DISPUTES ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION.

The Services enable Customer to manage certain aspects of purchasing goods and other items from suppliers, such as browsing product catalogues, placing orders, accessing and processing invoices, and tracking delivery and payments status. Additional features may be made available through the Services, including the ability to pay invoices or otherwise make payments to vendors and suppliers, subject to Supplemental Terms as applicable.  Customer’s use of such additional features, including without limitation the ability to pay invoices or otherwise make payments to suppliers, may be subject to additional terms (“Supplemental Terms”) and such Supplemental Terms will either be listed in these Master Terms or will be presented to Customer for its acceptance when Customer signs up for the additional features.  If the Master Terms are inconsistent with the Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms shall control with respect to the relevant features.

    1. Centralized Interface for Order Placement and Management. Folio provides a centralized interface that hotel operators can use to manage certain aspects of purchasing goods and other items from vendors and suppliers, such as browsing product catalogues, placing orders, accessing and processing invoices, and tracking delivery and payments status. Folio is not an actual seller or provider of any goods or other items listed on the Platform or procured through the Services, so the actual contract for purchase is directly between Customer and third-party vendors and suppliers. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Folio has no control over and does not guarantee: the existence, quality, safety or legality of any goods or other items listed on the Platform or procured through the Services, or the truth or accuracy of the information made available through the Services regarding any goods or other items; the ability of vendors and suppliers to sell any goods or other items and deliver them in a timely manner; the accuracy of any statements made by third-party vendors and suppliers; or that a vendor or supplier will actually complete a transaction, deliver or accept any requested return of, any item. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Folio does not endorse or recommend any products, services, or statements from third-party vendors and suppliers. 

    2. Interactions with Vendors and Suppliers; Purchasing Authority

      1. As part of the Services, Folio may facilitate Customer’s access and connection with vendors and suppliers. However, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Folio is not an agent  of any vendor or supplier or authorized to act on their behalf. Folio makes available all information regarding vendor, suppliers and their goods and other items on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis and Folio does not guarantee the accuracy of any description or the availability of any goods or other items.  TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, (I) FOLIO WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY GOODS OR OTHER ITEMS PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTY VENDORS OR SUPPLIERS, AND (II) FOLIO MAKES NO, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL STATUTORY OR IMPLIED, WARRANTIES REGARDING ANY GOODS OR OTHER ITEMS PROVIDED BY SUCH VENDORS OR SUPPLIERS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY SUCH WARRANTIES OF QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

      2.  Customer hereby appoints Folio as its limited, non-exclusive buying agent for the goods or other items that are the subject of an order that has been submitted by Customer’s Authorized Users via the Platform or Services (the “Approved Merchandise”), with authority to submit orders for such Approved Merchandise to the applicable supplier or vendor on Customer’s behalf.  Folio shall at no time: (i) place an order for goods or other items other than the Approved Merchandise, or (ii) take or claim legal or equitable title to any Approved Merchandise purchased by or on behalf of Customer. As between the parties, Customer will be solely responsible for: (a) vetting vendors and suppliers and providing a list of approved vendors and suppliers to Folio; (b) negotiating and entering into any master procurement and/or purchasing terms with each supplier; (c) instructing Folio to place orders that Customer requires; (d) reviewing and approving each order submitted by its Authorized Users through the Services and marking the order as approved (where enabled by the features and functionality of the Services); (e) receiving delivery of Approved Merchandise ordered through the Services and marking the relevant order as received or completed (as enabled by the features and functionality of the Services); (f) paying for all amounts due and payable to vendors and suppliers in consideration for Approved Merchandise; (g) ensuring that all processes and procedures required by Customer’s internal procurement, supplier management, accounting and other internal functions are properly followed, including but not limited to processing confirmatory purchase orders where required; (h) handling and resolving any and all requests and disputes Customer may have with any vendor, supplier or other party, including but not limited to disputes regarding nonconforming goods or other items, loss or damage during delivery, and returns or exchanges; (i) complying with all laws and regulations related to the importation, exportation, and customs clearance of Approved Merchandise ordered through the Services, including arranging for shipment and delivery, procuring insurance on shipment, and paying all applicable taxes, duties, levies, shipping charges and other fees and expenses.  Customer represents and warrants that each individual whom Customer designates as an Authorized User or whom Customer otherwise authorizes or permits to access and use the Platform or interact with the Services, has all necessary power and authority to furnish to Folio and update from time to time a list of approved vendors and suppliers, furnish Customer’s credentials for third-party sites to Folio, direct Folio to retrieve and use Customer’s Account Information, instruct Folio to place orders, mark orders as approved, received and/or completed (as enabled by the features and functionality of the Services), take other supplier management related decisions and actions, and otherwise exercise and perform Customer’s rights and obligations hereunder, in each case for and on behalf of Customer.

    3. Funding Source. When you add a funding source or payment method to your Customer Account, you agree to the following:

(a)        You have the authority to disclose the payment method information and to bind the person or organization for which you act;

(b)        You authorize the initiation of debit or credit entries, as applicable, to the payment methods in accordance with instructions inputted through the Services, and, if necessary, the initiation of adjustments for any transactions debited or credited in error;

(c)        You acknowledge that transactions initiated from your payment method must comply with laws in all applicable jurisdictions and, if applicable, the Nacha Operating Rules; and

(d)        Your authorization will remain in effect until not later than fourteen (14) days after Folio receives written notice from you of your desire to cancel such authorization, and such cancellation may render the Services otherwise unusable to you.

  1. License; Access and Use; Services 

    1. Access to the Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Folio hereby grants to Customer, during the term of the Agreement, a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right to access and use, and permit Authorized Users to access and use, the Services solely for Customer’s internal business purposes in accordance with the Agreement and the Support Materials.

    2. Customer Accounts; User Accounts. In order to access the Services, Customer will be required to register an enterprise account with Folio (a “Customer Account”). In addition, Customer will provision a user account for the Services (a “User Account”) for each Authorized User. A Customer Account may have multiple User Accounts associated with it, and each Customer Account shall have an Authorized User designated with administrative privileges to add, remove, suspend and otherwise manage the User Accounts associated with such Customer Account. User Accounts may only be accessed and used by one Authorized User and may not be shared with any person other than the Authorized User to which the User Account was provisioned. As between Folio and Customer, Customer is responsible for each Authorized User maintaining the confidentiality of any access credentials for the User Account of such Authorized User. Customer is responsible for all actions taken using any User Account provisioned by Customer. Customer will promptly notify Folio if Customer becomes aware of or reasonably suspects that there has been any unauthorized access to any User Account. 

    3. Support Materials. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Folio hereby grants to Customer a non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license during the term of the Agreement to reproduce, without modification, and internally use a reasonable number of copies of the Support Materials solely in connection with Customer’s authorized use of the Services. Customer will include on any copies it makes of the Support Materials the copyright notices or proprietary legends contained within the same.

    4. Customer Restrictions. Customer will not directly or indirectly: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, translate, modify, create derivative works of the Folio Materials; (b) copy or reproduce the Folio Materials, except to the extent necessary to exercise the licensed use of the same hereunder; (c) attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Platform, breach the security or authentication measures of the Platform without proper authorization or willfully render any part of the Platform unusable; (d) use or access the Folio Materials to develop a product or service that is competitive with the Folio or engage in competitive analysis or benchmarking with respect to Folio Materials; (e) transfer, distribute, sell, resell, lease, license, sublicense, operate as a service for or on behalf of others, or otherwise assign the Folio Materials or, other than with respect to Authorized Users, offer access to the Folio Materials to a third party; (f) circumvent or interfere with any authentication or security measures of the Platform or interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Platform; (g) export the Folio Materials or technical data or any copy, portions or direct product thereof to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Denial Orders; (h) transmit unlawful, infringing or harmful data or code, or any data or code that Customer is not authorized to transmit, either to or from the Platform; or (i) otherwise use the Folio Materials except as expressly permitted hereunder. Customer will notify Folio promptly of any such unauthorized access to or use of the Folio Materials. In addition, in using the Folio Materials or any Customer Content, Customer shall not send any unsolicited or unauthorized communications, or otherwise violate the CAN-SPAM Act or any other anti-spam or similar law.

    5. Implementation Services. The Parties may enter into one or more statements of work for implementation or training services or other similar services to be provided by Folio (“Implementation Services”) that reference this Agreement, set forth the details of the Implementation Services to be provided hereunder, and the fees to be paid by Customer therefor (any such statement of work, an “SOW”). Subject to Customer’s timely payment of all applicable fees, Folio will perform the Implementation Services, identified in the Order Form or an SOW in a professional and workmanlike manner materially in accordance with the specifications and schedules therefor set forth in such Order Form or SOW. Except as expressly set forth in the applicable Order Form or SOW, Folio will own and retain all right, title, and interest, including all intellectual property and proprietary rights, in and to any work product or deliverables created in connection with any Implementation Services. Nothing in the Agreement shall be understood to prevent Folio from developing similar work product or deliverables for other customers.

    6. Text Message Services. Folio may offer one or more mobile message programs  (collectively, the “Message Service”) that allows Customer and Authorized Users to receive SMS/MMS mobile messages by opting-in such as through online or application-based enrollment forms.  Regardless of the opt-in method Customer or an Authorized User uses to enroll, it agrees that its use of the Message Service is governed by this Agreement. Folio does not charge for the Message Service, but Customer or the Authorized User is responsible for all charges and fees associated with mobile messaging imposed by its wireless carrier and Customer and the Authorized User acknowledges that its carrier may charge or deduct usage credit from its account when Customer or  the Authorized User texts Folio or Folio sends messages to Customer or  the Authorized User. Message and data rates may apply. By enrolling a telephone number in the Message Service, Customer or the Authorized User authorizes Folio to send recurring SMS and MMS mobile messages to the number specified by Customer or  the Authorized User, and Customer or the Authorized User represents that it is authorized to receive mobile messages at such number. The messages sent through the Message Service may include order notifications, approval requirements, receipt reminders, customer support messages, and other content. If Customer or an Authorized User does not wish to continue participating in a Message Service program Folio offers, Customer or the Authorized User agrees to reply STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT to any mobile message it receives from that program to opt out. Customer or the Authorized User may receive an additional mobile message confirming its decision to opt out. Customer or the Authorized User understands and agrees that the foregoing options are the only reasonable methods of opting out. Customer or the Authorized User acknowledges that Folio’s text message platform may not recognize and respond to unsubscribe requests that alter, change, or modify the STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE or QUIT keyword commands, such as the use of different spellings or the addition of other words or phrases to the command, and agrees that Folio and its service providers will have no liability for failing to honor such requests. Customer or the Authorized User also understands and agrees that any other method of opting out, including, but not limited to, texting words other than those keyword commands set forth above or verbally requesting one of Folio’s employees to remove Customer or the Authorized User from Folio’s list, is not a reasonable means of opting out. To the extent Customer or the Authorized User subscribes to more than one Message Service program that Folio operates, Customer or the Authorized User must unsubscribe from each program separately.  For Message Service support or assistance, text the HELP keyword in response to any message received through the Message Service or email Folio at support@folio.co. Please note that the use of this email address is not an acceptable method of opting out of the Message Service.  Opt outs must be submitted in accordance with the procedures set forth above. Folio may change any short code or telephone number it uses to operate the Message Service at any time with notice to Customer or the Authorized User. Customer or the Authorized User acknowledges that any messages, including any STOP or HELP requests, Customer or the Authorized User sends to a short code or telephone number that Folio has changed may not be received and Folio is not responsible for honoring requests made in such messages. The Message Service may not be available in all areas or supported by all carriers or all devices. Customer or the Authorized User should check with its carrier for details. Delivery of mobile messages is subject to effective transmission from Customer’s or the Authorized User’s wireless carrier/network operator and is outside of Folio’s control. Folio and the wireless carriers supported by the Message Service are not liable for any failed, delayed or undelivered messages. If Customer or the Authorized User decides to change its mobile phone number, Customer or the Authorized User agrees to first opt out of each Message Service program in which its number is enrolled. For clarity, Customer or the Authorized User acknowledges and agrees that any disputes between Customer or the Authorized User and Folio related to the Message Service will be governed by Section 15.8 (Arbitration).

  2. Fees

    1. Fees. Customer will pay Folio the fees set forth in the Order Form and SOWs in accordance with the payment terms set forth therein. Except as otherwise specified in the Order Form or the applicable SOW: (a) fees are quoted and payable in United States dollars; and (b) payment will be made by ACH transfer to a bank account designated by Folio. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or an Order Form or SOW all payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable.

All other rights in and to the Folio Materials are expressly reserved by Folio. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all rights granted hereunder in and to the Folio Materials are licensed and not sold or transferred.

For the avoidance of doubt, Customer’s Account Information (as defined below) shall be deemed to be Customer Content. Customer hereby grants Folio a non-exclusive, limited license during the term of this Agreement to use Customer Content solely as necessary to perform the Services and perform its obligations hereunder. Folio will delete and erase any Customer Content from the Platform within a commercially reasonable amount of time following Customer’s request therefor. Folio will have no liability due to any inability to use the Services as a result of any Customer Content that was deleted at Customer’s request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing herein limits or restricts Folio’s right or ability to use data regarding the performance, availability, usage, integrity and security of the Folio Materials and Customer hereby grants Folio a perpetual, irrevocable unlimited, royalty-free, fully paid up, sublicensable license to use any non-personally identifiable information related to users’ interactions with the Services to operate and improve Folio’s products and services.

    3. Storage. Unless expressly agreed to by Folio in writing elsewhere, Folio has no obligation to store any Customer Content. Folio has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or accuracy of any Customer Content; the failure to store, transmit, or receive transmission of Customer Content; or the security, privacy, storage, or transmission of other communications originating with or involving use of the Folio Materials. 

  4. Confidential Information

    1. Definition. “Confidential Information” means, with respect to each Party (as the “Disclosing Party”), any information disclosed by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party to the other Party (as the “Receiving Party”) that is either designated as confidential or proprietary at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably understood to be confidential in light of the nature of the information or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure and: (a) with respect to Customer as Disclosing Party, “Confidential Information” includes the Customer Content; (b) with respect to Folio as Disclosing Party, “Confidential Information” includes the Folio Materials; and (c) with respect to each Party as the Disclosing Party, “Confidential Information” includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

    2. Confidentiality. Receiving Party will use the Confidential Information solely to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under the Agreement and it will not disclose, or permit to be disclosed, the same directly or indirectly, to any third party without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent, except as otherwise permitted hereunder. However, Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information: (a) to its employees, officers, directors, attorneys, auditors, financial advisors and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) who have a need to know and are legally bound to keep such information confidential by confidentiality obligations with respect to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party consistent with those of this Agreement (provided that the Receiving Party shall be responsible for any actions of its Representatives that would breach this Section 6.2 if such action were taken by Receiving Party); and (b) as required by law (in which case the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with prior written notification thereof, will provide the Disclosing Party with the opportunity to contest such disclosure, and will use its reasonable efforts to minimize such disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law; and provided further that any information so disclosed shall retain its confidentiality protections for all other purposes). Receiving Party agrees to exercise the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own like Confidential Information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care in protecting the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure. The obligations of confidentiality in this 15.8n 6.2 shall not apply to information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate: (i) is or becomes generally known or publicly available through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) was properly known by or disclosed to the Receiving Party, without restriction, by another person with the legal authority to do so; or (iii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Confidential Information, as demonstrated by the Receiving Party’s contemporaneous written records. 

    3. No Personally Identifiable Information. Unless expressly set forth in the Order Form, the Parties do not intend for Customer to provide any personally identifiable information (as defined under applicable privacy laws) in connection with Customer’s use of the Services, other than the limited information required for the provisioning of User Accounts. To the extent the Parties agree that Customer will provide any other personally identifiable information in connection with its use of the Services, the Parties will agree in good faith with respect to terms governing the processing of such personally identifiable information unless otherwise set forth in the Order Form. 

    4. Feedback. Customer may from time to time provide Folio suggestions or comments for enhancements or improvements, new features or functionality or other feedback (“Feedback”). Customer hereby grants Folio a perpetual, irrevocable unlimited, royalty-free, fully paid up, sublicensable, license to freely use, exercise, and exploit any such Feedback in connection with Folio’s business, products, and services.

  5. Service Levels and Security. Folio will: (a) prepare and implement a disaster recovery plan intended to restore service within 24 hours after any interruption of the Platform; (b) provide Customer with technical support by email at support@folio.co; and (c) implement commercially reasonable measures designed to secure the Platform against unauthorized access to or alteration of Customer Content on the Platform; provided that Customer is solely responsible for maintaining the security and operability of any systems and devices used to access the Platform ensuring timely transmission of, and the accuracy, quality, integrity, and reliability of all Customer Content submitted to the Platform. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7 does not apply during any period of time in which Folio is providing Customer access to the Services free-of-charge. 

  6. Third Party Technology

    1. Third Party Accounts. Customer or Authorized Users may be permitted to connect their account on a Third Party Technology (any such account, a “Third Party Account”). If Customer or an Authorized User connects any Third Party Account with the Services, then: (a) Customer represents and warrants that they have all necessary rights to connect the Third Party Account to the Services and to permit Folio to access the Third Party Account in accordance with this Agreement; and (b) Folio may access and store any information, data, software code, and/or other materials accessible to the Services through such Third Party Account as Customer Content hereunder. Customer is solely responsible for any Third Party Technology for which Customer, or an Authorized User chooses to connect a Third Party Account to the Services. Customer’s and Authorized Users’ relationship with the providers of such Third Party Technology for which a Third Party Account is connected to the Services is governed solely by Customer’s agreement with such third party service provider, and Folio is not liable for: (i) any action or inaction by such third party service provider; (ii) Folio’s possession or use as Customer Content of any data or information that may be provided to it by such third party service providers in violation of the settings in such Third Party Account; or (iii) any inability to access or use any Customer Content as a result of any cancellation or loss of or inability to access or use any Third Party Account.

    2. Account Information from Third-Party Sites. When Customer uses the Services or Folio Materials, Customer may direct Folio to retrieve Customer’s data, materials and information maintained online by third parties with which Customer has customer relationships (“Account Information”) to provide the Services. By agreeing to these Master Terms, Customer (a) acknowledges that by accessing and connecting with Customer’s vendors and suppliers through the Services, Customer’s credentials may be collected, converted, stored in encrypted form and used by Folio for the purposes of providing the Services and Folio Materials on Customer’s behalf; (b) authorizes Folio to (i) collect and store in an encrypted form Customer’s credentials; (ii) access the websites of Customer’s vendors and suppliers using the credentials on an as-needed basis to provide the Services and Folio Materials to Customer; (iii) view, retrieve, download and/or store Customer’s Account Information accessed from its suppliers and vendors; and (iv) take all such actions as are reasonably necessary to provide the Services and Folio Materials to Customer. By way of example only, Folio will, as Customer’s authorized agent, access and retrieve the following information for those suppliers that Customer connects with through the Services: (a) product availability information, including stock or backorder status; (b) pricing information, including any pricing specific to Customer’s own affiliated business; (c) cart modification information; (d) past order and invoice histories and records; and (e) order placement information. Customer represents and warrants that the Account Information belongs to Customer, that Customer has the right to access, retrieve and use the Account Information as set out above and that Customer has the authority to appoint, and hereby expressly does appoint, Folio as its agent with the limited power and authority as set forth in Section 8.3 below (without any obligation on Folio to pay any fees or subject to any restrictions or limitations). Folio does not review the Account Information for accuracy, legality or non-infringement. In addition, Folio cannot always foresee or anticipate technical or other difficulties which may result in failure to obtain data or loss of data, personalization settings, or other service interruptions. Folio does not assume responsibility for timeliness, accuracy, deletion, non-delivery or failure to store any Account Information, user data, communications or personalization settings.

    3. Customer’s Grant of Authority to Folio. Customer grants Folio a limited power of attorney, and appoints Folio as Customer’s attorney-in-fact and authorized agent, to access the third party sites Customer identifies, to: (i) retrieve and use Customer’s Account Information, including invoices, tracking information, and payment status, for the purpose of providing Services to Customer,, and (ii) submit orders for the Approved Merchandise with the applicable supplier or vendor on Customer’s behalf, in each case of (i) and (ii), with the full power and authority to do and perform each action necessary in connection with such activities to the fullest extent of Customer’s own authorizations and rights. Customer acknowledges and agrees that when Folio is accessing and retrieving Account Information from third-party sites, Folio is acting as Customer’s authorized agent, and not independently or as the agent of or on behalf of the third party that operates the third party site. In the event of any breach of Customer’s representations and warranties regarding the ownership of Account Information and appointment of Folio as Customer’s agent for accessing, retrieving and otherwise using Customer’s Account Information, Customer agrees to fully indemnify and hold Folio harmless from any resulting claims, losses or liabilities. 

    4. Third-Party Websites, Applications and Ads. The Folio Materials may contain links to third-party websites (“Third-Party Websites”), applications (“Third-Party Applications”) and advertisements for third parties (“Third-Party Ads”) (collectively, the “Third-Party Services”). When Customer clicks on a link to a Third-Party Service, Folio will not warn Customer that it has left the Folio Materials and become subject to the terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website or destination. Such Third-Party Services are not under the control of Folio.  Folio is not responsible for any Third-Party Services. Folio provides these Third-Party Services only as a convenience and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third-Party Services, or any product or service provided in connection therewith. Customer uses all links in Third-Party Services at its own risk. When Customer leaves the Folio Materials, this Agreement and Folio’s policies no longer govern. Customer should review applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any Third-Party Services, and make whatever investigations it feels necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any third party. 

  1. Sharing Customer Content and Information Through Third-Party Services.  Folio may provide tools through the Folio Materials that enable Customer to export information, including Customer Content, to Third-Party Services. By using one of these tools, Customer agrees that Folio may transfer that information to the applicable Third-Party Service. Folio is not responsible for any Third-Party Service’s use of Customer’s exported information. 

  1. Third-Party Application Access.  With respect to any Application accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store (an “App Store Sourced Application”), Customer shall only use the App Store Sourced Application (i) on an Apple-branded product that runs the iOS (Apple’s proprietary operating system) and (ii) as permitted by the “Usage Rules” set forth in the Apple Media Terms of Service, except that such App Store Sourced Application may be accessed, acquired, and used by other accounts associated with the purchaser via Apple’s Family Sharing function, volume purchasing, or Legacy Contacts function. Notwithstanding the first sentence in this section, with respect to any Application accessed through or downloaded from the Google Play store (a “Google Play Sourced Application”), Customer may have additional license rights with respect to use of the Application on a shared basis within Customer’s designated family group.

  2. Accessing and Downloading the Application from the Apple App Store.  The following applies to any App Store Sourced Application accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store: 

  1.

As between Folio and Apple, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Folio.

  4.

  1. Procedure for Making Claims of Intellectual Property Right Infringement. It is Folio’s policy to terminate membership privileges of any customer who repeatedly infringes copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights upon prompt notification to Folio by the respective intellectual property owner or their legal agent. Without limiting the foregoing, if Customer believes that its work has been copied and posted on the Folio Materials in a way that constitutes intellectual property rights infringement, please provide Folio’s designated intellectual property agent with the following information: (i) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right; (ii) a description of the copyrighted work, trademark, or other intellectual property right that Customer claims has been infringed; (iii) a description of the location on the Folio Materials of the material that Customer claims is infringing; (iv) Customer’s address, telephone number, and email address; (v) a written statement by Customer that it has a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right owner, its agent or the law; and (vi) a statement by Customer, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in Customer’s notice is accurate and that Customer is the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right owner or authorized to act on the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right owner’s behalf. Contact information for Folio’s designated agent for notice of claims of infringement is as follows: ATTN: IP CLAIMS, #1197, 3600 North Duke St STE 1, Durham NC 27704, United States.

Upon expiration of the Initial Term, the term of this Agreement will automatically renew for consecutive and successive renewal terms equal to the length of the Initial Term or such other duration as set forth in the Order Form (each a “Renewal Term”), unless either Party provides the other Party with written notice of non-renewal at least 60 days prior to the end of the then-current Initial Term or Renewal Term. Folio reserves the right to increase the fees payable under the Order Form effective at the start of the next applicable Renewal Term, by providing written notice of such increase to Customer at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-current term.

    2. Termination. Each Party may terminate the Agreement upon written notice to the other Party if: (a) the other Party commits any material breach of the Agreement and fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach; or (b) the other Party undergoes a liquidation, commencement of dissolution proceedings, or an assignment of substantially all its assets for the benefit of creditors. 

    3. Survival. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement: (a) all licenses and other rights and obligations will immediately terminate except that Sections 1, 3.4, 4, 5, 6, 10.3, 11.1, 12, 13, and 14 (other than 14.1) will survive indefinitely; and (b) Customer will immediately: (i) cease all use of the Folio Materials, (ii) promptly erase all copies of the Folio Materials in Customer’s possession, and (iii) certify in writing that it has complied with the foregoing (i) and (ii); provided that, except in the event of a termination for Customer’s breach, Folio will provide Customer with a five (5) day window after termination or expiration to export any Customer Content not previously exported from the Services.

  3. Electronic Communications. You consent to accept and receive communications from Folio in electronic form, including e-mail, text messages, calls, and push notifications to any mobile phone number you provide to us.

Customer agrees that all communications in either electronic or paper format will be considered “in writing.” Customer agrees that Folio has no obligation to provide communications in paper format. If you provide Folio with the email, phone number, or any other communication methods of a payment recipient, you represent that you have the authority and all necessary approvals to share such communication method.
