10.1 Limited Warranty. STACK warrants solely to Customer (and not to any individual Authorized User) that, during the Subscription Term, if applicable, or such other time period of use as described or contemplated in the applicable Order Form, the ordered Service will conform in all material respect to the description of such Service set forth in its Documentation (the “Service Limited Warranty”) and that all Professional Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with generally recognized industry standards for similar services. Without limiting the foregoing, STACK does not warrant that (a) any Service will meet Customer’s requirements; (b) any Service will operate without interruption or be error free; or (c) any Content will be accurate or reliable. Furthermore, STACK is not responsible for delays, delivery failures, or any other loss or damage resulting from the transfer of data over communications networks and facilities, including the internet. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Services may be subject to limitations, delays and other problems inherent in the use of the internet, servers that are hosted by third-party providers and such related network and communications infrastructure.”
10.2 Exclusive Remedy for Breach of Warranty.

If the use of such Service is for other than a stated period in the applicable Order Form (e.g., for the duration of an estimated project length), then STACK will refund to Customer a pro-rata portion of the paid fees for such Service as equitably and reasonably determined by STACK. STACK shall have no liability for any claim based upon (i) improper use of a Service or use of a Service not in accordance with instructions provided by STACK; (ii) any modification of a Service that is not done by STACK; or (iii) errors caused by the infrastructure, network, communications facilities, including the internet, other software or hardware used to access a Service. If the ordered Professional Services do not conform to the Professional Service Limited Warranty, then STACK shall, at its option and expense reperform the Professional Services. The foregoing states Customer’s sole remedy and the exclusive obligation of STACK with respect to claims of breach of the Services Limited Warranty.

Each party shall use the Confidential Information of the other party only in a manner consistent with the Agreement and shall otherwise protect such Confidential Information from disclosure to others with the same degree of care accorded to its own proprietary information (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care).
14.3 Release from Restrictions. The provisions of Section 14.2 shall not apply to any Confidential Information which is required to be disclosed by the receiving party to comply with applicable laws, to defend or prosecute litigation or to comply with governmental regulations, provided that, unless prohibited by law, the receiving party provides to the other party prior written notice of such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity to contest such disclosure, and thereafter reasonably cooperates with the disclosing party to take lawful actions to avoid and/or minimize the degree of such disclosure.
14.4 Return of Confidential Information.

No party shall make any contracts, warranties or representations or assume or create any other obligations, express or implied, in another party’s name or on its behalf.
15.3 Injunctive Relief. All parties acknowledge that in the event of a breach, or threatened breach, of any of the provisions of Sections 3, or Section 14 of the Agreement by Customer, STACK may suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce those provisions without being required to prove damages or post a bond.
15.4 Notices. Notices under the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand, sent by facsimile, sent by email, mailed via certified mail, or delivered by commercial courier service. Notices shall be deemed effective when received or upon attempted delivery, in the event that delivery is refused.
15.5 Waiver. The failure of either party to act upon any right, remedy, or breach of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right, remedy, or breach. No waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
15.6 Governing Law. This Agreement and any claim arising out of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Unites States of America, and particularly, the laws of the State of Ohio, excluding its conflict of laws principles, and such Customer and its Authorized Users irrevocably agree that the courts of the State of Ohio shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of, or in connection with, the Agreement or its subject matter or formation. The parties expressly exclude the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act. No action arising out of, or related to, the Agreement may be brought by STACK, Customer or any of its Authorized Users more than one (1) year after the cause of action was, or reasonably should have been, discovered or, in the case of an action for nonpayment, more than two (2) years after the date the last payment was due; however, nothing in the Agreement shall limit the ability to bring an action in connection with fraud or intentional or willful misconduct.
15.7 Government Rights. If used or acquired by the United States Government, the Government acknowledges that (a) an Application and the Documentation are “Commercial Items”, as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of “Commercial Computer Software” and “Commercial Computer Software Documentation”, as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 or 48 C.F.R. 227.7202, as applicable and (b) the Government’s rights are limited to those specifically granted pursuant to this Agreement. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 or 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, as applicable, the Commercial Computer Software and Commercial Computer Software Documentation are being licensed to U.S. Government end users and U.S. Government contractors (a) only as Commercial Items and (b) with only those rights as are granted to all other end users pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. The manufacturer is STACK Construction Technologies Inc, located at 9999 Carver Road, Suite 300, Cincinnati, Ohio 45242.
15.8 Entire Agreement. These Terms and Conditions are incorporated by reference into every Order and Order Form. These Terms and Conditions shall apply to all Services ordered or used by Customer unless there is a separate written agreement between STACK and Customer governing Customer’s use of any Services, in which case such separate written agreement shall govern Customer’s Use of the corresponding Services. The Agreement (together, for Customer, with any Order Form or any statement of work) constitutes the complete agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter of the Agreement, and, unless otherwise agreed in writing by STACK, supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or representations, written or oral, concerning the subject matter of the Agreement and the use of any Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any separate existing confidentiality agreement entered into between the parties shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, and to the extent that any of the provisions of any such agreement conflict with the provisions of the Agreement, the provisions of such existing agreement shall prevail and govern and control such conflict. To the extent that any of the provisions of an Order Form or statement of work and these Terms and Conditions conflict, the provision of such Order Form or statement of work shall prevail and govern and control such conflict. You agree that STACK shall license, and provide, a Service only in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
15.9 Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties, and all other provisions will remain in full force and effect.
STACK offers a service uptime guarantee for the Services of 99.9% (“Service Uptime”) of available time. If STACK fails to maintain this level of service availability, you may contact STACK and request a credit for the time that your service was unavailable to you. The credit may be used only for the purchase of further products and services from STACK and is exclusive of any applicable taxes. The credit does not apply to service interruptions caused by:
1. periodic scheduled maintenance or repairs STACK may undertake from time to time
2. outages that affect only the Customer or the Customer’s (or its Authorized Users’) computer, network or Internet Service Provider
3. power outages or acts of Nature beyond the control of STACK
Ultimately the total service uptime shall be solely determined by STACK and shall be calculated on a prorated monthly basis. STACK shall not be responsible for delays or service interruptions attributable to causes beyond its reasonable control, including limitations on the availability of telephone transmission lines and facilities, failures of other communications equipment, Internet access delays or failures, failures or deficiencies of Customer’s or its Authorized Users’ equipment, or Customer’s failure to meet its responsibilities under this Agreement.
