By accepting this Agreement, whether by (1) clicking a box indicating acceptance, (2) executing an Order Form referencing this Agreement, you agree to the terms of this Agreement. If the individual accepting this Agreement is doing so on behalf of a company or other legal entity, that individual represents that they have the authority to bind that entity and its affiliates to these terms and conditions, in which case “Customer” refers to that entity and its affiliates. If the individual accepting this Agreement does not have that authority or does not agree with these terms and conditions, they must not accept this Agreement and may not use the Services.

For customers domiciled in North or South America, this Agreement is entered into by Sidestreet Operations of South Carolina, LLC, a South Carolina limited liability corporation. Notices should be addressed to 187 North Church Street, Suite 205, Spartanburg, SC 29306, U.S.A. The governing law is that of South Carolina, along with controlling United States federal law, and the courts with exclusive jurisdiction are located in Spartanburg, South Carolina, U.S.A.

“Available out of scope” services are offered for an additional fee and will require a separate quote and agreement.

Term of Agreement Our agreements last for one year for ongoing services and auto-renews annually unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal at least 45 days before the renewal date. Either party may terminate the agreement with written notice within the first 30 days. Email will be considered sufficient written notice. All digital intellectual property remains SoSC’s unless otherwise agreed.

Financial Terms

Payment Terms For one-time projects, the initial deposit is due upon agreement acceptance. All payments are due Net 15. Ongoing services are billed monthly to a card kept on file unless other arrangements are mutually agreed upon. All payments and monthly payments are non-refundable. Services will be suspended if an invoice reaches 45 days past due, and SoSC is not liable for any lost revenue due to services interrupted for non-payment.

Fees Customer will pay all fees specified in Order Forms. Unless otherwise stated herein or in an Order Form: (i) fees are based on subscriptions purchased for Services and Content, not on actual usage, (ii) payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, and (iii) quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term.

Invoicing and Payment Customer will provide SoSC with valid and updated payment information, such as a credit card, purchase order, or other acceptable documentation. If Customer provides credit card information, Customer authorizes SoSC to charge the card for all Purchased Services listed in the Order Form, covering the initial subscription term and any renewal term(s) as stated in the “Term of Purchased Subscriptions” section below. Charges will be made in advance, either annually or according to any alternative billing frequency specified in the Order Form. If a different payment method is specified, SoSC will invoice Customer in advance, following the terms of the Order Form. Unless otherwise noted in the Order Form, invoiced fees are due within 15 days of the invoice date. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to SoSC and must notify SoSC of any changes.

Overdue Charges & Suspension If any invoiced amount is not received by SoSC by the due date, SoSC reserves the right, without limiting its other remedies, to (a) apply late interest at a rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, and/or (b) adjust future subscription renewals and Order Forms to require shorter payment terms.

If any amount owed by Customer under this or any other agreement for services is 45 days or more overdue (or 10 or more days overdue for credit card payments authorized by Customer), SoSC may, without limiting other remedies, accelerate Customer’s outstanding fee obligations under such agreements, making all amounts due immediately, and suspend Services until payment is received in full. For customers not paying by credit card or direct debit, SoSC will provide at least 10 days’ prior notice of overdue status, as per the “Manner of Giving Notice” section below, before suspending services.

Payment Disputes SoSC will not exercise its rights under the “Overdue Charges” or “Suspension of Service and Acceleration” sections if Customer is disputing the charges in good faith and is working diligently to resolve the issue.

Taxes SoSC’s fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments, such as value-added, sales, use, or withholding taxes, as applicable by jurisdiction. Customer is responsible for all taxes asSoSCiated with purchases under this Agreement. If SoSC is required by law to pay or collect taxes for which Customer is responsible, SoSC will invoice Customer, and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides SoSC with a valid tax exemption certificate from the relevant taxing authority. SoSC is solely responsible for taxes based on its own income, property, and employees.

Data, IP & Confidentiality

Intellectual Property (IP) & Reservation of Rights All intellectual property created by SoSC under this agreement remains SoSC’s until full payment is received or if the project requires a separate license agreement.

Subject to the limited rights expressly granted hereunder, Sidestreet Operations of South Carolina, LLC (SoSC), its Affiliates, licensors, and Content Providers reserve all of their rights, title, and interest in and to the Services and Content, including all related intellectual property rights. No rights are granted to Customer other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Customer has the right to access and use applicable Content, subject to the terms of applicable Order Forms, this Agreement, and the Documentation.

License by Customer to SoSC Customer grants SoSC, its Affiliates, and applicable contractors a worldwide, limited-term license to host, copy, use, transmit, and display any Non-SoSC Applications and program code created by or for Customer using a Service or for use by Customer with the Services, as well as Customer Data, as appropriate for SoSC to provide and ensure proper operation of the Services and asSoSCiated systems in accordance with this Agreement. If Customer chooses to use a Non-SoSC Application with a Service, Customer grants SoSC permission to allow the Non-SoSC Application and its provider to access Customer Data and information about Customer’s usage of the Non-SoSC Application, as appropriate for the interoperation of that Non-SoSC Application with the Service. Subject to the limited licenses granted herein, SoSC acquires no right, title, or interest from Customer or its licensors under this Agreement in or to any Customer Data, Non-SoSC Application, or program code.

Confidentiality Both parties agree to keep all received confidential information confidential. Either party may designate information confidential.

  • Definition of Confidential Information: “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that should reasonably be understood to be confidential based on the nature of the information and circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of Customer includes Customer Data; Confidential Information of Sidestreet Operations of South Carolina, LLC (SoSC) includes the Services, Content, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Order Forms (including pricing). Confidential Information of each party includes business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does not include information that (i) becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party before disclosure without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without knowledge of any breach of obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party. The non-disclosure obligations in this “Confidentiality” section apply to Confidential Information exchanged in evaluating additional SoSC services.

  • Protection of Confidential Information: Each party retains all ownership rights in its Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party outside the scope of this Agreement and (ii) limit access to Confidential Information to its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements containing protections not materially less protective than those in this Agreement. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel, and accountants without prior written consent from the other party, with the condition that the disclosing party remains responsible for compliance with this “Confidentiality” section by its Affiliates, legal counsel, or accountants. SoSC may disclose the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Order Form to a contractor or Non-SoSC Application Provider as necessary for SoSC to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality as protective as set forth herein.

  • Compelled Disclosure: The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if required by law, provided the Receiving Party gives prior notice to the Disclosing Party (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party seeks to contest the disclosure. If disclosure is required by law in a civil proceeding where the Disclosing Party is involved and is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for reasonable costs of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.

License by Customer to Use Feedback Customer grants SoSC and its Affiliates a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use, distribute, disclose, and incorporate into its services any suggestion, enhancement request, recommendation, correction, or other feedback provided by Customer or Users relating to the operation of SoSC’s or its Affiliates’ services.
