Without limiting any of Client’s obligations under this Agreement, Client will provide Blitzen, in the form and format specified by Blitzen in any applicable Statement of Work, all Client Content reasonably required for Blitzen’s performance hereunder. For avoidance of doubt, although Blitzen will have the right hereunder to host, store, encode, reproduce and/or distribute the Client Content (among other things) in order to provide the Platform, the Services and the Deliverables in accordance with this Agreement, the parties agree that Blitzen does not take legal title to any Client Content supplied by Client.

Blitzen does not control any third-party application provider and accordingly on termination or expiration of this Agreement, any Client Content made available to any third-party application provider will be managed according to such third-party application provider’s terms of service and privacy policy. Blitzen is not responsible for any losses or consequences associated with Client’s use of any third-party application even if such third-party application is integrated with Client’s Platform account.

  5. PAYMENT OF FEES

Client will be responsible for and will pay any applicable sales, use or other taxes or duties, tariffs or the like applicable to the Fees (except for taxes on Blitzen’s income). All payments will be made without deduction for withholding taxes. Late payments may be subject to fees at the rate of 1.5% per month or, if lower, the maximum rate allowed by law. If Client fails to pay any Fees when due, then in addition to any other rights Blitzen may have, Blitzen will have the right to suspend delivery of all or a portion of the Platform, Deliverables or Services to Client, provided that Blitzen has supplied Client prior notice and thirty (30) days’ opportunity to cure such deficiency If Client believes that Blitzen has billed Client incorrectly, Client must notify Blitzen thereof (in writing) no later than thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice. If Blitzen pursues collection efforts against Client due to Client’s failure to pay Fees due under this Agreement, Client will pay Blitzen’s reasonable costs of collection, including any legal fees related thereto. After the first year of this Agreement, Blitzen will be entitled to change any of the Fees on at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Client, provided that Blitzen will not be able to change any of the Fees more than twice in any twelve (12) month period and, further provided that, upon receipt of such notice from Blitzen, Client will be entitled to terminate this Agreement on at least twenty (20) days’ notice to Blitzen. If Blitzen revokes its notice of change within such twenty (20) day period, this Agreement will not be so terminated and the Fees will not so change.

  6. TERM; TERMINATION

    1. Term. Subject to earlier termination as provided below, this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and continue until terminated in accordance with Section 6.2 below.

If applicable, Client will pay in full for the Services and Deliverables up to and including the last day on which the Services and Deliverables are provided. In the event that the Client terminates this Agreement for convenience pursuant to Section 6.2, Client shall pay to Blitzen liquidated damages in an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Fees applicable for the remainder of the then-current term (the “LDs”). The parties agree that the LDs are not a penalty, but represent a genuine and reasonable pre-estimate of the minimum damages that Blitzen will suffer as a result of Client’s early termination of this Agreement for convenience. In addition, each Statement of Work may be terminated in accordance with its terms. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, all rights granted herein will revert to the granting party and all licenses will terminate, and Client will make no further use of the Platform, the Services or Deliverables. All accrued rights to payment and any terms and conditions of this Agreement, which by their nature extend beyond the termination or expiry of this Agreement, shall survive the termination or expiry of this Agreement including, without limitation, Sections 1, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 4.2, 6.4, 7, 8.1, 9, 10 and 13.

Additionally, Blitzen will, after six (6) months of any termination or expiration of this Agreement, destroy all Client Content that it had used to perform the Services and supply the Platform and the Deliverables unless, during such six (6) month period: (a) Client has reactivated its account (including by executing the then-current version of this Agreement) and/or (b) Blitzen and Client specifically agree in writing to handle the Client Content in an alternative manner.

As used in this Agreement, "Confidential Information" means all confidential information disclosed by a party (the "Disclosing Party") to the other party (the "Receiving Party"), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Blitzen’s Confidential Information shall include the Platform and the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and Confidential Information of each party shall include as well as business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party.

      4. will use reasonable efforts to treat, and to cause all its representatives and those of its affiliates to treat, all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as strictly confidential, provided that in no event will such efforts be less than the degree of care that the Receiving Party exercises in protecting its own valuable confidential information.
    3. The Receiving Party will be entitled to disclose Confidential Information if such disclosure is required by a court, administrative body, or regulatory body (including a stock exchange) of competent jurisdiction, whether as a result of any application made by the Receiving Party or an investigation initiated by the regulatory body, or otherwise, provided that the Receiving Party will:
      1. give prompt notice of any such requirement for disclosure to the Disclosing Party so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy;
      2. take such steps as are reasonably necessary and available to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information by such court, administrative or regulatory body; and

  12. CHANGES TO THE SERVICES OR THIS AGREEMENT

    Blitzen continues to develop and improve the Services, so this Agreement may need to change along with the Services.

If you don’t agree with the new Agreement terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will no longer be able to use the Services.

The date of last update of this Agreement is set out at the bottom of this document.

    Blitzen may suspend or discontinue any part of the Services, or Blitzen may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Services.

Similarly, Blitzen reserves the right to remove any Content from the Services at any time if someone alleges you contributed that Content in violation of this Agreement and to change domain names selected (including if a domain infringes trademark rights of a third party), in our sole discretion, and without notice.
