Each User has a right to use the Platform pursuant to an applicable SaaS Agreement, these General Terms and an applicable Yepzy Consumer Deposit Account Agreement. The Platform is not licensed or sold to you. If you are a Client, you should carefully read all the terms and conditions of your applicable SaaS Agreement, these General Terms and your applicable Yepzy Consumer Deposit Account Agreement before accessing or using the Platform. If you are User that is not a Client, you should carefully read all of these General Terms and your applicable Yepzy Consumer Deposit Account Agreement before accessing or using the Platform. Unless you have entered into a separate written and signed agreement with Yepzy providing otherwise, use of the Platform indicates your agreement to be bound by all the terms and conditions of these General Terms. If you do not agree to these terms, promptly cease using the Platform and delete or otherwise destroy any related documentation in your possession. Yepzy’s willingness to provide you access to the Platform is expressly conditioned on your acceptance of all of the terms in these General Terms. Yepzy may, at any time and from time to time, update these General Terms. Yepzy will give you written notice (via email or another form of written notice) of any updates to these General Terms. You will be bound by any such updated version of these General Terms if you continue to access and use the Platform after receiving notice of any such updated version.

UPON ACCESSING OR IN ANY WAY USING ANY VERSION OF THE SOFTWARE OR THE PLATFORM, YOU ARE REAFFIRMING THAT YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE THEN CURRENT VERSION OF THESE GENERAL TERMS.

You will have a non-exclusive and non-assignable right to access and use the Platform (as further specified below) provided that you comply with all terms and conditions of the applicable SaaS Agreement (if you are a Client), these General Terms and the applicable Yepzy Consumer Deposit Account Agreement. You may access and use a non-downloadable version of the Software via either: (i) a unique user identification number provided to you pursuant to a SaaS Agreement between you and Yepzy (a “User ID”) if you are a Client; or (ii) a unique access identification number (an “Access ID”) provided to you by or at the request of (or authorization by or through) another party (a “Master Client”) that has a valid User ID pursuant to SaaS Agreement between it and Yepzy. The Software and the Platform are protected by the copyright laws of the United States and international treaty provisions. There are severe penalties, both civil and criminal, for copyright infringement. You may not download, copy or reproduce all or any portion of the Software or the Platform.

Additionally, your right to use the Platform will terminate immediately upon the termination of the SaaS Agreement pursuant to which you have been provided either a User ID or an Access ID.

This information includes, but is not limited to, transaction data, data regarding parties using the Platform and computers or other devices accessing the Platform, and your User ID and/or Access ID (as applicable). Yepzy may use this information in order to provide support. Notwithstanding any other provision of these General Terms, any applicable Yepzy Consumer Deposit Account Agreement or any applicable SaaS Agreement, Yepzy may retain, use and disclose this information (other than any “personally identifiable information” as that term is defined in OMB Memorandum M-07-1616). Additionally, any documents or information transmitted to Yepzy by you or a Master Client may, at the request of you or such Master Client, be transmitted or otherwise disclosed by Yepzy to one or more third parties. Upon accessing or using any version of the Platform, you are reaffirming that you agree to any sharing or transmission of documents or information pursuant to this Section 8. You agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to release, hold harmless and indemnify Yepzy from and against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and costs, including but not limited to attorneys' fees, arising out of, or in any way connected with, the use, reuse, modifications, or misinterpretation of such information.

Please be aware that if you provide any third party with access to your data or computer systems, such third parties may be able to access data that uniquely identifies you.


8. Confidentiality. Each party acknowledges that it or its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents may, in the course of using the Platform, be exposed to or acquire information which is proprietary to or confidential to the other, its affiliated companies or third parties to whom such party has a duty of confidentiality. For purposes of these General Terms, “Confidential Information” shall include, without limitation, any information obtained by Yepzy or a User (or to which any of them has access) in connection with any applicable SaaS Agreement or Yepzy Consumer Deposit Account Agreement that relates to the party disclosing such Confidential Information (the “Disclosing Party”) and its past, present or future: (a) business activities, products, and/or developments; (b) employees, customers, counterparties, third party suppliers and/or contractors; (c) intellectual property; (d) data made available to or by a User in connection with a User using the Platform (including, but not limited to, financial records); (e) agreements, including without limitation, any applicable SaaS Agreement, and any records maintained thereunder; (f) information relating to plans, pricing, methods, methodologies, processes, financial data, lists, apparatus, statistics, programs, research, development, systems, source code, and/or information technology; and/or (g) any other information that, given its nature, would reasonably be intended to be confidential. Each party agrees to hold such Confidential Information in strict confidence and not to disclose to any person, firm or enterprise, or use any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Each party will treat the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information with the same degree of care that it treats its own confidential or proprietary information, but in no event using less than a reasonable standard of care. Each party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to its employees and contractors, who are bound by confidentiality obligations with respect to such Confidential Information that are no less restrictive than those set forth in this Section 9, and solely to the extent necessary or appropriate for it to perform its obligations under an applicable SaaS Agreement. Each party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information if required to do so under applicable law or if otherwise legally compelled to so disclose, provided that it, where reasonably practical and to the extent legally permissible, provides the Disclosing Party with prior written notice of the required disclosure so the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, and provided further that such party discloses no more of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information than reasonably necessary to respond to the required disclosure and cooperates, at the Disclosing Party’s cost and expense, with any action the Disclosing Party takes to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. Confidential Information shall not include information which the non-disclosing party can show by objective or verifiable evidence is: (a) in or becomes part of the public domain (or otherwise available to the public) other than by disclosure by a party in violation of these General Terms; (b) demonstrably known to such party previously; (c) independently developed by such party without the use of any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (d) rightfully obtained by such party from one or more third parties. Yepzy and you understand and agree that, in the event of a breach of this paragraph, damages may not be an adequate remedy and each party shall be entitled to seek (in addition to any remedies permitted under the SaaS Agreement) injunctive relief to restrain any such breach, threatened or actual. Nothing contained within these General Terms or any applicable SaaS Agreement or Yepzy Consumer Deposit Account Agreement shall prevent either party from responding to a valid subpoena, discovery request, or other compulsory legal process; provided, however, that not less than fourteen (14) calendar days prior to a party’s compliance with said legal process, the party that intends to comply with such process must (if not prohibited from doing so by any applicable law, rule, regulation or government or court order): (i) notify the other party of the subpoena, discovery request, or other compulsory legal process and the identity, address, and telephone number of the attorney or entity imposing said process; (ii) provide the other party with a copy of the subpoena, discovery request, or other compulsory legal process; and (iii) take no action to resist, oppose, obstruct, delay, or otherwise interfere any effort by the other party to seek a protective order, limitation order, stipulation, or similar compulsory or voluntary arrangement to protect the confidentiality of the information thus requested.

10. User Obligations. You are responsible to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the data used by you on the Platform. You are responsible for having and providing sufficient funds for any payment you elect to make via the Platform and for determining the appropriate amount to pay. It is your sole responsibility to correct any incorrect payment made by you via the Platform.  

 

11. No Reverse Engineering.   You agree to not: (i) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble all or any portion of the computer software related to the Platform, nor attempt in any other manner to obtain the source code for any such software; (ii) remove any proprietary notices, marks, labels, or logos from any such software or any related documentation; (iii) utilize any computer software or hardware which is designed to defeat any copy protection device, should the any product containing any such software be equipped with such a protection device; or (iv) commit any trademark, copyright or trade dress infringement or violate any other applicable laws regarding intellectual property protection or unfair competition by copying, emulating or otherwise reproducing any aspects of such software or its user interface. You also agree that such software and its related documentation constitute proprietary information of Yepzy and that they contain confidential information belonging to Yepzy.

 

12. Irreparable Harm. You and Yepzy agree that a breach of any provision in these General Terms or in an applicable SaaS Agreement or Yepzy Consumer Deposit Account Agreement by you or Yepzy may result in serious and irreparable injury to the other party. You and Yepzy agree that among other remedies you and Yepzy may each pursue upon the occurrence of any breach or threatened breach of these General Terms or any applicable SaaS Agreement or Yepzy Consumer Deposit Account Agreement by the other party, you or Yepzy (as applicable) may seek and obtain, when appropriate, injunctive relief to prevent any such breach or further breach or to restrain the other party from transmitting, recording, exploiting, replicating, or otherwise utilizing the Platform or any information in any manner not expressly permitted by the pursuant to these General Terms or an applicable SaaS Agreement or Yepzy Consumer Deposit Account Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 12 shall limit or waive your or Yepzy’s right to seek damages for a breach of these General Terms or any applicable SaaS Agreement or Yepzy Consumer Deposit Account Agreement.

                   

13. Information Not Warranted. All information provided by any person or entity other than Yepzy is not warranted by Yepzy to be accurate or complete. Such information is provided “as is” to you, and Yepzy makes no representation or guarantee regarding its accuracy or completeness.

 

14. Limited Warranty and Remedies. Yepzy warrants that the Platform (including the Software) will perform substantially in accordance with the materials accompanying the Platform for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of the applicable Master Client’s first use of it (this warranty is referred to herein as the “Limited Warranty” and applies to each new version of the Software that may be released by Yepzy and rightfully accessed and used by the applicable Master Client in connection with using the Platform). If an implied warranty or condition is created by your state/jurisdiction and federal or state/provincial law prohibits disclaimer of it, you also have an implied warranty or condition, BUT ONLY AS TO DEFECTS DISCOVERED DURING THE NINETY (90) DAY PERIOD OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. AS TO ANY DEFECTS DISCOVERED AFTER THE NINETY (90) DAY PERIOD, THERE IS NO WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty or condition lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Any supplements or updates to the Software that are not labeled (or otherwise identified in writing by Yepzy) as a new “version” of the Software, including without limitation, any (if any) service packs or hot fixes provided to you after the expiration of the ninety (90) day Limited Warranty period are not covered by any warranty or condition, express, implied or statutory.

 

Your exclusive remedy for any breach of the Limited Warranty is as set forth below. Except for any refund elected by Yepzy, YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED, TO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, if the Platform does not meet the Limited Warranty, and, to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law, even if any remedy fails its essential purpose. The terms of Section 16 below (“Exclusion of Incidental, Consequential and Certain Other Damages”) are also incorporated into the Limited Warranty. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. The Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have others which vary from state/jurisdiction to state/jurisdiction. Yepzy’s and its suppliers’ entire liability and your exclusive remedy shall be to, at Yepzy’s option from time to time exercised subject to applicable law, (i) replace defective media or documentation, as the case may be, (ii) use reasonable efforts to correct significant defects in the Software without charge, or (iii) refund any usage fees paid by you to Yepzy for your use of the applicable copy of the Software during the 90 day period prior to when you notified Yepzy in writing of the defect(s) and terminate all rights granted to you for such copy. Any replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or 30 days, whichever is longer. This Limited Warranty is void if failure of the Platform has resulted from accident, abuse, misapplication, abnormal use or a virus. To exercise your remedy, contact: Yepzy at 57 Union St., S PMB 1234, Concord, North Carolina 28025 Attn: Warranty Support or by email to WeCare@yepzy.com.

15. Disclaimer of Warranties. The above Limited Warranty is the only express warranty made to you regarding the Platform (including the Software) and is provided in lieu of any other express warranties (if any) created by any documentation, packaging or other communications. Except for the Limited Warranty and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Yepzy and its suppliers provide the Platform (including the Software) and support services (if any) AS IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS, and hereby disclaim all other warranties and conditions, either express, implied or statutory, including, but not limited to, any (if any) implied warranties, duties or conditions of merchantability, of fitness for a particular purpose, of reliability or availability, of accuracy or completeness of responses, of results, of workmanlike effort, of lack of viruses, and of lack of negligence, all with regard to the Platform (including the Software), and the provision of or failure to provide support or other services, information, software, and related content through the Platform or otherwise arising out of the use of the Platform. ALSO, THERE IS NO WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, QUIET POSSESSION, CORRESPONDENCE TO DESCRIPTION OR NON-INFRINGEMENT WITH REGARD TO THE PLATFORM (INCLUDING THE SOFTWARE) AND THERE IS NO WARRANTY THAT THE PLATFORM WILL COMPLY WITH ALL REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO YOU OR OPERATE PRECISELY AS DESCRIBED IN ANY DEMONSTRATIONS, REVIEWS OR ANY ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION. By way of example, without limitation, Yepzy provides no warranties of any kind to any end-users accessing or otherwise using applications developed or otherwise obtained by you. Because programs such as the Software are inherently complex, Yepzy does not warrant that the Software is error-free or will operate without interruption. Furthermore, Yepzy does not warrant that the Software will work with any given database, network or network application. You acknowledge that due to the complexity of the Software, it is possible that use of the Software could lead to the unintentional loss or corruption of data or the failure to receive any notices (if any) that are generated or supposed to be generated by the Software. You assume all risks of such data loss or corruption and all risks related to any missed notifications. The Limited Warranty provided in this Agreement does not cover any damages or losses resulting from any data loss or corruption or any failure to receive any notices that are generated or supposed to be generated by the Software.

 

16. Exclusion of Incidental, Consequential and Certain Other Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL YEPZY OR ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS OR VENDORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS OR CONFIDENTIAL OR OTHER INFORMATION, FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, FOR PERSONAL INJURY, FOR LOSS OF PRIVACY OR DATA, FOR FAILURE TO MEET ANY DUTY INCLUDING OF GOOD FAITH OR OF REASONABLE CARE, FOR NEGLIGENCE, AND FOR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY OR OTHER LOSS WHATSOEVER) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM (INCLUDING THE SOFTWARE), THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT OR OTHER SERVICES, INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, AND RELATED CONTENT THROUGH THE PLATFORM OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THE PLATFORM (INCLUDING THE SOFTWARE), OR OTHERWISE UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PROVISION OF THESE GENERAL TERMS OR ANY SAAS AGREEMENT OR YEPZY CONSUMER DEPOSIT ACCOUNT AGREEMENT, EVEN IN THE EVENT OF THE FAULT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF CONTRACT OR BREACH OF WARRANTY OF YEPZY OR ANY SUPPLIER OR VENDOR, AND EVEN IF YEPZY OR ANY SUPPLIER OR VENDOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

 

17. Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding any damages that you might incur for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, all damages referenced above and all direct or general damages), the entire liability of Yepzy and any of its suppliers or vendors under any provision of these General Terms or any SaaS Agreement or Yepzy Consumer Deposit Account Agreement and your exclusive remedy for all of the foregoing (except for any remedy of repair, replacement or termination and refund elected by Yepzy pursuant to Section 14 of these General Terms with respect to any breach of the Limited Warranty) shall be limited to the greater of the amount of usage fees actually paid by you to Yepzy for the Platform during the one year period immediately preceding the date when such damage occurred or (U.S.)$50.00. The foregoing limitations, exclusions and disclaimers (including Sections 14, 15 and 16 of these General Terms) shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, even if any remedy fails its essential purpose.

 

18. US. Government Rights. The Platform (including all Software and related documentation that comprise the Platform) is provided to the U.S. Government as “commercial items,” “commercial computer software,” “commercial computer software documentation,” and “technical data” with the same rights and restrictions generally applicable to the Platform. If you are using the Platform on behalf of the U.S. Government and these terms fail to meet the U.S. Government’s needs or are inconsistent in any respect with federal law, you will immediately discontinue your use of the Platform. The terms “commercial item” “commercial computer software,” “commercial computer software documentation,” and “technical data” are defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement.

 

19. Import and Export Compliance. In connection accessing or using the Platform, you will comply with all applicable import, re-import, export, and re-export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, and country-specific economic sanctions programs implemented by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. For clarity, you are solely responsible for compliance related to the manner in which you choose to use the Platform, including your transfer and processing of any of your data or documents (“Your Content”) and providing any other party access to any of Your Content.   You also agree not to use or distribute the Platform (or any of the Software) in violation of any law, statute, ordinance or other regulation of any applicable jurisdiction (including export controls and unfair competition laws) or any obligation to which you are bound.

All notices provided pursuant to these General Terms or any applicable SaaS Agreement or Yepzy Consumer Deposit Account Agreement must be in writing and shall be sufficiently given for all purposes hereunder if properly addressed and delivered personally by documented overnight delivery service, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by e-mail. If the notice is to Yepzy, it must be delivered to the mailing address or e-mail address, as the case may be, set forth below (provided that Yepzy may change such address or e-mail address by giving written notice to you pursuant to this Section 20). Yepzy may give notice to you at any mailing address or e-mail address that Yepzy has on file for you. Any notice given personally or by documented overnight delivery service is effective upon receipt. Any notice given by registered mail or overnight delivery service is effective upon receipt, to the extent such receipt is confirmed by return receipt. Any notice given by e-mail is effective upon receipt, to the extent that receipt is confirmed, either verbally or in writing by the recipient. Any notice which is refused, unclaimed or undeliverable because of an act or omission of the party to be notified, if such notice was correctly addressed to the party to be notified, shall be deemed communicated as of the first date that said notice was refused, unclaimed or deemed undeliverable by the postal authorities, or overnight delivery service.
