1. Subscription Authorizations and Scope of Use

1.1. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Policies, Blockbax authorizes you to access and use the Service and Documentation solely for your internal business use, by and through Authorized Users. This Subscription Authorization is limited, nonexclusive and nontransferable, unless Parties agreed in writing otherwise.

2. Agreement Structure

2.1. The Agreement means this MSA, the Order, applicable Order Form, annexes, addendums and amendments thereto. The Service provided as a fully managed service (“Software-as-a-Service” or “SaaS”), shall be subject to the attached Appendix 1 entitled “SaaS Specific Terms”. The Service provided as software you manage yourself on your hardware (“On-Premise”), shall be subject to the attached Appendix 2 entitled “On-Premise Specific Terms”.

2.2. If a term in an Order, annex or addendum conflicts with, or is different than, a term in this Agreement, the provisions of this MSA will prevail unless the term in the Order specifically states that it will prevail.

2.3. Subject to Blockbax’ acceptance, you or your Affiliates (each, a “Customer Entity”) may enter into Orders. Each Order will be a separate agreement between Blockbax and the Customer Entity that signs the Order and in each such case, all references to “you” in this Agreement will be deemed references to the Customer Entity that signed the Order; provided, however, that you and your Affiliates will be jointly liable for compliance with the terms of this Agreement and any Order by any Customer Entity, and you accept full liability as between the Parties for the actions and inactions of your Affiliates. A breach of the terms of this Agreement or any Order by any Customer Entity will be considered a breach by each Customer Entity.

2.4. An Order may state a term for that Order (the “Order Term”). In the event an Order does not specify a fixed term, then the Order Term will run from the Order’s effective date until the end of the calendar month in which either Party gives notice of termination in accordance with the Agreement.

2.5. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the Agreement shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the section Definitions of the MSA.

3. Payment Terms

3.1. You will pay in full all invoices from Blockbax in the currency stipulated in the Order within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice.

3.2. You must assert any payment dispute in writing within 10 days of your receipt of the invoice giving rise to the dispute. Blockbax will not exercise its suspension or termination rights or apply interest on late payments if you dispute the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith, and provide reasonable cooperation to resolve the dispute. Except in the event of such good faith disputes, all unpaid invoices past due are subject to a late charge equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum interest allowed by law. If litigation is initiated for the collection of past due amounts, the prevailing Party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and related costs from the non-prevailing Party.

4. Taxes

4.1. All fees and amounts set forth in the Agreement are exclusive of taxes, levies, duties or charges imposed by government authorities (collectively, “Taxes”). You shall be solely responsible for all sales, service, value-added, use, excise, consumption and any other Taxes on amounts payable by you under this Agreement (other than any Taxes on Blockbax’ income, revenues, gross receipts, personnel or assets). If you are required to deduct or withhold any Tax under Applicable Law, you must pay the amount deducted or withheld as required by Applicable Law and pay Blockbax an additional amount so that Blockbax receives payment in full of amounts due under this Agreement as if there were no deduction or withholding.

5. Warranty and Limitation of Liability

5.1. Each Party represents, warrants and covenants that it will comply with all Applicable Laws and regulations in connection with this Agreement.

5.2. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law: (a) in no event shall either Party, its Affiliates or their employees, contractors, agents, officers or directors be liable for any Indirect Damages; and (b) in no event shall either Party’s cumulative and aggregate liability under this Agreement for Direct Damages exceed the fees paid to Blockbax by a Customer Entity under the applicable Order(s), including prior Orders for the same Service, in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the liability. The exclusions and limitations in this section apply whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, or any other basis, even if the non-breaching Party has been advised of the possibility of such damage.

5.3. The exclusions and limitations in this section shall not apply to a Party’s indemnification obligations under the Agreement, Loss arising out of a Party’s failure to comply with its confidentiality obligations under the MSA, or your payment obligations to Blockbax under this Agreement.

8. Non-Blockbax Services and Material

8.1. The Service supports integrations and other connections to certain Non-Blockbax Services. If an Authorized User chooses to use a Non-Blockbax Service with the Service, in doing so, you hereby grant to Blockbax permission to interoperate with the Non-Blockbax Service.

12.1. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by one Party, its Affiliates, business partners or their respective employees, contractors or agents (the “Discloser”) that is designated as confidential, either orally or in writing, or that, given the nature of the information or circumstances surrounding its disclosure, reasonably should be understood to be confidential. Confidential Information includes without limitation: (a) information relating to the Discloser’s or its Affiliates’ technology, customers, business plans, promotional and marketing activities, finances and other business affairs; (b) third-party information that the Discloser is obligated to keep confidential; (c) Customer Data; and (d) the terms of this Agreement.

12.2. The Recipient shall protect Confidential Information of the Discloser against any unauthorized use or disclosure to the same extent that the Recipient protects its own Confidential Information of a similar nature against unauthorized use or disclosure, but in no event shall use less than a reasonable standard of care to protect such Confidential Information. The Recipient shall use any Confidential Information of the Discloser solely for the purposes for which it is provided by the Discloser. In the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Recipient of its obligations under this section, the Discloser will be entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce such obligations. These obligations of confidentiality shall survive expiration or termination of the Agreement.

13. Term Agreement

13.1. Unless terminated early in accordance with the Agreement, the term of this MSA will continue after the initial term. When for a period of 12 months no new Orders are placed since the latest Order, the MSA will expire on that date (12 months after the latest Order).

14. Renewal Order

14.1. Unless either Party gives the other Party written notice of its intention not to renew an Order at least 15 days prior to the Order’s expiration date, the Order will automatically renew for an additional period of the same duration as the expiring Order Term up to a maximum of 1 year, using the latest applicable per-unit pricing (each such period, a “Renewal Term”). If the Renewal Term is longer than one month, then at least 15 – and no more than 30 – days prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, Blockbax may notify you of such renewal. Effective upon the first anniversary of the Effective Date and up to one time per calendar year thereafter (or, if an Order Term is longer than one year, then up to one time during each Renewal Term), Blockbax may increase then current pricing for the Service by a percentage equal to the increase for the prior 12-month period (or the prior period of the same duration as the Renewal Term, if longer) in the CBS Netherlands Consumer Price Index (CPI) or successor series, as published by Statistics Netherlands (CBS). If you object to the increase, then you must notify Blockbax of your intention not to renew the Order within 30 days of your receipt of notice of the increase from Blockbax. Failure to timely notify Blockbax shall be deemed to constitute consent to the applicable fee increase.

15. Early Termination

15.1. Blockbax may terminate any Order or suspend Service upon written notice to you if you fail to pay any amount due under the Agreement, and such failure continues more than 10 days after Blockbax’ delivery of written notice. In addition, either Party may terminate the Agreement, effective on written notice to the other Party, if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement, and such breach (if capable of cure) remains uncured 30 days after the non-breaching Party provides the breaching Party written notice of such breach.

16. Effect of Termination

16.1. Upon expiration or earlier termination of an Order: (a) all rights granted to you with respect to the Service and Support under such Order will terminate effective as of the effective date of termination; (b) Blockbax shall have no obligation to provide the Service to you or Authorized Users after the effective date of the termination; and (c) you shall pay to Blockbax any amounts payable for your and any Authorized User’s use of the Service through the effective date of the termination, together with all other amounts in accordance with the Order. For up to 15 days from the effective date of termination an Authorized User designated by you will be permitted to continue to access and download the information that is stored in the Service database on the effective date of termination, provided that (i) you have paid all amounts due under this Agreement; (ii) the designated Authorized User shall not otherwise access or use the features or functionality of the Service; and (iii) such access and use shall otherwise continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

17. Indemnification

17.1. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Blockbax, its Affiliates and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors (collectively, “Blockbax Indemnitees”), from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Loss”) arising out of or related to any claim, suit, action or proceeding (each, an “Action”) by a third party arising out of or relating to Customer Data or your (or an Authorized User’s) use of the Service, breach of this Agreement or violation of Applicable Law.

17.2. Blockbax agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless you, your Affiliates and your respective employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors (collectively, “Customer Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Loss arising out of or related to any Action by a third party alleging that use of the Service in accordance with this Agreement infringes such third party’s patent or copyright, or misappropriates such third party’s trade secrets (each, a “Customer Infringement Claim”). If the Service becomes, or in Blockbax’ opinion is likely to become, the subject of a Customer Infringement Claim, Blockbax may in its discretion and at its own expense: (a) obtain for you the right to continue using the Service; (b) modify the Service so that it no longer infringes or misappropriates; or (c) terminate this Agreement and all Orders and issue a pro rata refund. Blockbax will have no liability for any Customer Infringement Claim to the extent it arises from: (i) your use of the Service in a manner inconsistent with its intended use under the Documentation; (ii) your breach of this Agreement; (iii) Customer Data; (iv) Non-Blockbax Material, including the combination of any Non-Blockbax Material with the Services; (v) Blockbax’ compliance with your specifications or instructions; or (vi) your use of the Service after Blockbax notifies you to discontinue use due to an Customer Infringement Claim. The foregoing states Blockbax’ entire liability and Customer’s exclusive remedies for any claim of intellectual property rights infringement or misappropriation.

17.3. A Customer Indemnitee or Blockbax Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) seeking indemnification shall promptly notify the other Party (each, an “Indemnifying Party”), in writing of any Action for which it seeks indemnification pursuant to this section and cooperate with the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly take control of the defense and investigation of such Action and shall employ counsel of its choice to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. An Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own expense with counsel of its own choice. A Party’s failure to perform any obligations under this section will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under paragraph 1 and 2 of this section except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle an Action without the Indemnified Party’s written consent if such settlement shall require action or payment by the Indemnified Party.

18. Modifications

18.1. Blockbax may modify the MSA at any time by posting a revised at https://blockbax.com/legal/msa, which modifications will become effective as of the first day of the calendar month following the month in which they were first posted for new Orders, or in case of a renewal will become effective immediately upon the start of the Renewal Term. By using the Service after the date on which any modifications enter into effect, you agree to the latest version of this Agreement.

19.6. Force Majeure.
