Terms of Service

This Terms of Services Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Joppar (“Joppar,” “us,” “we” or “our”) will provide to you (“you,” “your” or “Customer”) with access to and use of Joppar’s back office content management system entitled as more particularly described at Content (the “Solution”) when you place your order for the Solution (the “Order”). This Agreement is effective on the date (the “Effective Date”) on which you place your Order which will require you to agree to these terms and conditions.

1. Certain Definitions

“Confidential Information” means (i) for you, information provided to us with your Order as well as any content uploaded to the Solution; (ii) for us, pricing and other Solution terms, any user IDs, software license keys or passwords that we may provide you, marketing and sales information, know-how, audit and security reports, product development plans, data center designs, or other proprietary information or technology provided to you (including Software); and (iii) for both you and us, trade secrets or any information designated as Confidential. Information developed without reference to another party’s Confidential Information, or that is a part of or enters the public domain or otherwise is made available to a party other than through a violation of confidentiality, will not be Confidential Information. For the avoidance of doubt, information transmitted to us or stored as part of the Solution will not be considered Confidential Information.

“Services” means any and all services performed by us as described in the applicable Order, including but not limited to any services performed in connection with a Solution.

“Software” means any software, library, utility, tool or other computer or program code, in object (binary) or source-code form, as well as the related documentation, provided by us in connection with the Solution. Software includes software locally installed on your systems and software accessed through the internet or by other remote means including websites, portals and cloud-based solutions to utilize a Solution in accordance with this Agreement.

“Third-Party Products” means any non-Joppar data, software or services provided, made available or otherwise used by us in connection with the Solution or any other Customer provided data, software or services.

2. Quotes, Ordering and Payment

We will charge amounts for Solutions as set forth in the applicable Order or, if not specified, the current list pricing provided on our website. Quoted prices will remain in effect only until the expiration date of the quote. All orders are subject to our acceptance. You shall pay all fees or charges as specified on each submitted Order (“Fees”). All payment obligations are non-cancelable and all amounts paid are nonrefundable. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Order, payment terms are net fifteen (15) days from the date of Joppar’s invoice, without offsets or deductions of any kind, and payment is due in US dollars. If payment under an applicable Order is to be made via credit card or electronic money transfer (i.e. ACH), such payment shall be chargeable upon invoice date. In the event that Customer’s use of the Services exceeds any transaction volumes, additional fees shall apply as set forth in the applicable Order. Such Fees shall be assessed monthly or on a monthly equivalent basis (for quarterly or annual plans), in arrears. Joppar’s Fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and Customer shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only taxes based solely on Joppar’s income. If Joppar has the legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which Customer is responsible, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer unless Customer provides Joppar with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. If Customer believes Customer’s bill is incorrect, Customer must contact Joppar in writing within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice containing the amount in question to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit. Customer agrees to provide Joppar with accurate billing and contact information, including Customer’s legal company name, street address, e-mail address, and name and telephone number of an authorized billing contact. Customer agrees to update this information within thirty (30) days of any change to it. If the contact information Customer has provided is false or fraudulent, Joppar reserves the right to terminate Customer’s access to the Solution in addition to any other legal remedies. Joppar reserves the right to modify its Fees with respect to the Solution and to introduce new charges to become effective upon the any renewal of your plan. In the event Customer fails to make payments per payment terms as set forth in this Agreement or in any applicable Order, and legal enforcement by Joppar is deemed necessary, Customer agrees to pay all reasonable legal fees and costs incurred by Joppar.

3. Term Renewals

The “Term” for any Solution begins on the Effective Date and extends for the period indicated in your Order. Unless you decline auto-renewal in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Term or unless auto-renewal is explicitly disclaimed in an Order, we may automatically renew this Agreement and the related Solution(s) for a successive Term at our then-current list price. By continuing to use the Solution(s) beyond the expiration of the applicable Term, we may renew this Agreement and the related Solution(s) in our discretion for a successive Term at our then-current list price. We will automatically invoice you or charge your credit card, as applicable, each auto-renewal.

4. Termination

Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party commits a material breach and the breach is not cured within sixty (60) days of receipt of written notice describing the nature of the breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to you if (i) you are delinquent on your payment obligations; (ii) you violate the AUP (as defined in Section 10); (iii) a change in our relationship with a third-party Software or technology provider has had a material adverse effect on our ability to provide the Solution; (iv) you declare bankruptcy, are adjudicated bankrupt or a receiver or trustee is appointed for you or substantially all of your assets; or (v) we decide, in our sole discretion, to discontinue the product or service offering you are using. In the event we terminate pursuant to this Section 5, we will not be liable to you. Upon termination of this Agreement, all rights and obligations under this Agreement will automatically terminate except for rights of action accruing prior to termination, payment obligations and any obligations that expressly or by implication are intended to survive termination. The following provisions shall expressly survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason: Section 1, 6, 8B, 8C, 13, 14 and 15.

5. Assignment

You may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under this Agreement to a third-party without our prior written consent. We may assign, sell or otherwise transfer our rights to a business, product line or substantially all of our assets, provided the transferee agrees to perform the obligations under this Agreement. We may subcontract or delegate in whole or in part this Agreement, provided that we remain responsible for the performance of the Solution. For purposes of this Agreement, any change of control will be deemed an assignment.

6. Proprietary Rights

A. Generally

Except for information created or otherwise owned by you or licensed by you from third-parties, including all information provided by you to us through the Solution or for use in connection with the Solution, all right, title, and interest in the intellectual property embodied in the Solution, including the know-how and methods by which the Solution is provided and the processes that make up the Solution, will belong solely and exclusively to us or our licensors, and you will have no rights in any of the above, except as expressly granted in this Agreement. The Services and the Software used to provide the Solution embody valuable trade secrets and proprietary rights of Joppar and/or our licensors and are protected by laws. Any intellectual property developed by us during the performance of the Solution will belong solely and exclusively to us and our licensors.

If professional services (such as implementation, training, consulting, etc.,) are included in any Order (“Professional Services”), in addition to the provisions in any mutually agreed upon statement of work relating to such Professional Services, the following provisions shall apply. We retain all ownership rights to any and all deliverables or work product created in connection with the performance of the Professional Services, excluding, any pre-existing technology or materials supplied by you for incorporation into such deliverable or work product. We grant you a royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable worldwide license to use any such deliverable or work product, to the extent necessary to permit you to use the deliverable or work product in connection with the Solution during the Term. You acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or limit us from performing similar services for any third party.

7. Suspension, Deletion and Modification

A. Suspension

We may suspend all or part of the Solution or your access thereto: (i) if you are delinquent on payment obligations; (ii) upon receipt of a subpoena or law-enforcement request; or (iii) when we have a commercially reasonable belief that you have breached this Agreement or that your use of the Solution poses an imminent security risk or may subject Joppar to liability.

B. Deletion

We may delete your data stored through the Solution (a) sixty (60) days following any termination by us pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, or (b) if you fail to renew an applicable Order within sixty (60) days of expiration.

We may modify the functionality or features of the Solution at any time, provided that the modification does not materially denigrate the functionality of the Solution (as described in the applicable Order) during the Term. We will not be liable to you or any third-party for any such modification. From time to time, we may change the location where the Solution is provided; provided, however, we will remain responsible for the delivery of the Solution.

D. Maintenance

It may be necessary for us to perform scheduled or unscheduled patches, updates, repairs or maintenance, which may temporarily degrade the quality of the Solution or result in a partial or complete outage of the Solution. Although we cannot guarantee that you will receive advance notice of repairs or maintenance, we will endeavor to provide at least 7 days notice of scheduled updates and patches.

Additional trial terms and conditions may appear on the trial registration web page.

You must cooperate with our reasonable investigation of Service outages, security issues and any suspected breach of this Agreement. Our Acceptable Use Policy follows (the “AUP”):

You are responsible for any content that may be lost or unrecoverable through your use of the Services.  You are encouraged to archive your content regularly and frequently.

Customer grants to Joppar a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to access, use, reproduce, modify, perform, display and distribute Customer data as is reasonable or necessary for Joppar to perform or provide the Solution.

THE SOLUTION, TOGETHER WITH ALL THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE PROVIDED BY JOPPAR, IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. JOPPAR MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE SOLUTION OR ANY OF THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES INCLUDED THEREIN, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SUITABILITY OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

JOPPAR’S SERVICES MAY BE SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS, DELAYS, AND OTHER PROBLEMS INHERENT IN THE USE OF THE INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS. JOPPAR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DELAYS, DELIVERY FAILURES, OR OTHER DAMAGE RESULTING FROM SUCH PROBLEMS NOT CAUSED BY JOPPAR.

JOPPAR’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY SOLUTIONS PROVIDED HEREUNDER) IN ANY 12-MONTH PERIOD WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT RECEIVED BY JOPPAR DURING THE PRIOR TWELVE (12) MONTHS OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE SPECIFIC SOLUTION GIVING RISE TO SUCH CLAIM(S).

THESE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS WILL APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT OR OTHERWISE. SUCH LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY AND EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LIABILITIES.

14. Indemnification

A. Indemnification by Us

We will defend and indemnify you from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to any third-party claim or action that the Solution (excluding Third-Party Products and open source software) infringes or misappropriates that third-party’s intellectual property rights enforceable in the United Sates. In addition, if we receive prompt notice of a claim that, in our reasonable opinion, is likely to result in an adverse ruling, then we will, at our option, (i) obtain a right for you to continue using the Software or that allow us to continue performing the Services; (ii) modify the Software or Services to make them non-infringing; (iii) replace the Software or Services with a non-infringing equivalent; or (iv) refund any prepaid fees for the allegedly infringing Services that have not been performed or provide a reasonably depreciated or pro rata refund for the allegedly infringing Software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will have no obligation under this Section for any claim resulting or arising from (1) modifications of the Software or Services that were not performed by or on behalf of us; (2) the combination, operation or use of the Software or Services in connection with a Third-Party Product (the combination of which causes the claimed infringement); or (3) our compliance with your written specifications or directions, including the incorporation of any software or other materials or processes provided by or requested by you. This Section states Customer’s exclusive remedies for any third-party intellectual property claim or action, and nothing in this Agreement or elsewhere will obligate us to provide any greater indemnity to Customer.

B. Indemnification by You

You will defend and indemnify the Joppar from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to any third-party claim or action relating to (a) your failure to obtain or maintain any appropriate license, intellectual property rights or other permissions, regulatory certifications or approvals associated with technology or data provided by you; (b) your breach of this Agreement or violation of any applicable law, regulation or order; (c) your use of the Solution; and (d) your provision of your own services, software, technology or solution

C. Mutual Indemnification

Each party will defend and indemnify the other party against any third-party claim or action for personal bodily injury, including death, to the extent directly caused by the indemnifying party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its obligations under this Agreement.

D. Indemnification Procedure

The indemnified party will (i) promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of any claim; (ii) grant the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and resolution of the claim; and (iii) cooperate with the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party’s expense, in defending and resolving the claim. Failure to provide prompt notice, however, will not affect the indemnifying party’s obligations to the extent the failure does not materially prejudice the indemnifying party’s ability to defend the claim. In no event will an indemnifying party consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any third-party claim without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (not to be unreasonably withheld) unless the judgment or settlement involves only the payment of money damages, without admission of fault, and expressly and unconditionally releases the indemnified party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to the claim.

15. Miscellaneous

A. Confidentiality

Confidential Information may not be disclosed except to affiliates, employees, agents and subcontractors who “need-to-know” it and who have agreed in writing to treat the Confidential Information under terms at least as restrictive as those in this Agreement. Each party agrees to take the necessary precautions to maintain the confidentiality of the other party’s Confidential Information by using at least the same degree of care as such party employs with respect to its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in no case less than a commercially reasonable standard of care to maintain confidentiality. If a recipient is required by a court or government agency to disclose Confidential Information, the recipient will provide reasonable advance notice to other party before making the disclosure. In our performance of the Solution, we may obtain information related to your use of the Solution. You agree that such information is not confidential and we may use such information in an aggregated, anonymized form to assist in improving and optimizing various aspects of the Solution or in support of generic marketing activities related to the Solution.

B. Independent Contractor Relationship

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The parties are independent contractors. No provision of this Agreement creates an association, trust, partnership or joint venture or imposes fiduciary duties, obligations or liability between you and us. Neither party will have any rights, power or authority to act or create an obligation, express or implied, on behalf of another party except as specified in this Agreement. This Agreement does not and is not intended to confer any rights or remedies, express or implied, upon any person other than the parties hereto.

C. Force Majeure

Neither party will be liable to the other for any failure to perform any of its obligations (except payment obligations) under this Agreement during any period in which performance is delayed by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, such as fire, explosion, power blackout, earthquake, flood, severe storms, strike, riot, embargo, labor disputes, acts of civil or military authority, war, terrorism (including cyber terrorism), acts of God, acts or omissions of internet traffic carriers or actions or omissions of regulatory or governmental authorities (including the passage of laws or regulations or other acts of government or law enforcement that impact the delivery of the Solution) (a “Force Majeure”). The delayed party will promptly provide the other party with written notice of the Force Majeure. The delayed party’s performance will be excused for the duration of the Force Majeure, but if the Force Majeure lasts longer than thirty (30) days, then the other party may immediately terminate, in whole or in part, this Agreement by giving written notice to the delayed party. In the case of a Force Majeure, Customer acknowledges and agrees that its data may not be recoverable and accepts responsibility for re-entry of such data.

D. Export Compliance

You will comply with all applicable import, re-import, export and re-export control laws, orders and regulations. Specifically and without limitation, you shall not permit any access or use of the Solution in a United States embargoed country (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria). We are not responsible for determining whether any Third-Party Product used in the performance of the Solution satisfies the local regulatory requirements of the country in which the Third-Party Product is delivered, and we are not obligated to provide any Software or perform any Services where we become aware that the resulting Software or Services do not satisfy local regulatory requirements.

E. Entire Agreement; Severability

This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and Joppar with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior oral and written understandings, communications or agreements between you and Joppar for the Solution. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement, in whole or in part, will be valid or binding unless it is in writing and executed by authorized representatives of both parties. If any provision of this Agreement should be found to be void or unenforceable, the provision will be stricken or modified, but only to the extent necessary to comply with the law, and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and will not be terminated.

F. Disputes

Resolving Disputes

Let’s Try To Sort Things Out First. We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Joppar, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting [email protected]. We’ll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you via email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days of submission, you or Joppar may bring a formal proceeding.

 

We Both Agree To Arbitrate. You and Joppar agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms or the Services through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.

 

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by clicking here and submitting the opt-out form within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.

 

Arbitration Procedures. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, San Francisco (CA), or any other location we agree to.

 

Arbitration Fees and Incentives. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Joppar will pay all arbitration fees for claims less than $35,000. Joppar will not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.

 

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Either you or Joppar may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in San Francisco (CA) or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

 

No Class Actions. You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren’t allowed.

 

Judicial forum for disputes. In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and Joppar agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of San Francisco County (CA). Both you and Joppar consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.

G. Waiver

The failure by us to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a present or future waiver of such provision nor limit our right to enforce such provision at a later time. All waivers must be in writing to be effective.

H. Notices

Notice to us under this Agreement must be in writing and sent by overnight courier or certified mail to Joppar at 340 S Lemon Avenue #1234 Walnut, CA 91789. Attention: Legal Notice.
