User Content.
License to User Content. In connection with Customer’s use of the Coda Platform, Customer may upload and/or create certain content to and through the Coda Platform (the “User Content”). As between Coda and Customer, Customer owns and retains any and all rights to User Content and no ownership rights are transferred to Coda under this Agreement. Customer hereby grants to Coda, and represents and warrants that Customer has all rights necessary to grant, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable right to host, process, store, display, perform, analyze, use, reproduce, transmit, archive, and make derivative works of User Content in order to operate the Coda Platform and provide the Services to Customer.
Customer's Responsibilities for User Content. Customer represents and warrants that: (i) it has obtained and/or created the User Content lawfully, and the User Content does not and will not violate any applicable laws or any person’s or entity's proprietary or intellectual property rights; (ii) the User Content is free of all viruses, Trojan horses, and other elements that could interrupt or harm the Coda Platform; (iii) Customer is solely responsible for ensuring compliance with all privacy laws in all jurisdictions that may apply to User Content provided hereunder; (iv) Coda may host, use, process, transmit, and otherwise exercise any license and rights to User Content granted hereunder without liability or cost to any third party; and (v) the User Content complies with the terms of Coda’s publishing and acceptable use policies.

User Content does not include log-in credentials, billing information and other User account information processed in connection with providing the Coda Platform and Services (“Account Data”), nor does User Content include usage data, analytics, error resolution data, or any other data relating to the operation, use and/or performance of the Coda Platform (“Usage Data”). Account Data, which may include information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular natural person (such information, “Personal Data”) and Usage Data is processed by Coda in accordance with its Privacy Policy which is currently located at
Publishing. From time to time, Customer may, in its sole discretion, elect to make certain User Content publicly available on the Coda Platform, including in the form of published documents, templates, websites, forms, and surveys (collectively, “Published Content”). Any Published Content must comply with Coda’s Publishing Policies (currently available at ). With respect to Published Content, Customer hereby grants to Coda a perpetual, irrevocable, fully transferable and sublicensable (through multiple tiers), worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license: (i) to reproduce, electronically distribute, transmit, have transmitted, perform, display, store, and archive any Published Content; and (ii) to make, have made, copy, modify, make derivative works of, use, sell, import, and otherwise distribute any such Published Content under all applicable laws and to permit others to do the same.

For the purposes of this Section 4.6, the terms "Personal Data", "Process", "Applicable Data Protection Laws", "GDPR", "UK Data Protection Laws" and "CCPA" have the meanings given to them in the DPA.
Payment; Taxes.
Payment Terms. If Customer purchases a subscription to use the Services, fees are specified through the Services interface or in the Order Form(s) and must be paid in advance. Upon execution or acceptance of any applicable Order Form, Coda will invoice Customer for Subscription Fees on an upfront basis for the relevant Subscription Period. Coda will also invoice Customer for any applicable True-Up Fees for the remainder of the Subscription Period, as may be further described in an applicable Order Form. Payment obligations are non-cancelable, and fees paid are non-refundable. For clarity, in the event Customer downgrades any subscriptions from a paid plan to a free plan, Customer will remain responsible for any unpaid fees under the paid plan, and Services under the paid plan will be deemed fully performed and delivered upon expiration of the initial paid plan subscription term. If Customer pays for the Services via invoice, full payment must be received within thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Overdue payments will be subject to interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, or the maximum allowable under applicable law, whichever is less.
Taxes. Fees are stated exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer will be responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Customer’s purchases, except for those taxes based on Coda’s net income.
Billing Policies. Customer agrees to the pricing communicated by Coda in the Order Form(s) or otherwise as part of the Services. If pricing is communicated to Customer through the Services interface, Coda may add new services for additional fees and charges, or add or amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in Coda’s sole discretion, by giving Customer at least 30 days' written notice (to the extent applicable), such increase to take effect at the beginning of the next billing cycle. In certain circumstances, Coda may be required to modify fees based on direction from a third party, in which case, Coda will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer within such period. If Customer does not wish to accept the price increase, Customer may give notice to terminate the Agreement, by giving at least 30 days' written notice to Coda, such notice to expire no later than the end of the then-current billing cycle. The fees will not increase during the notice period; otherwise, any change to such pricing shall become effective in the billing cycle following notice of such change as provided under the Agreement. If pricing is communicated to you through an Order Form, Subscription Fees are subject to change upon the first day of any Renewal Period. The access granted in this Agreement will not extend to the use of the Coda Platform beyond the specific programs or modules, or number of User Seats, authorized and paid for in accordance with the Services interface, Order Form or added in connection with True Ups. Coda reserves the right to limit, suspend, disable access to, or terminate, in part or in whole, your Account or your documents, or bill you for additional fees, in the event that you are (or are reasonably suspected of) abusing, misusing, exploiting, or otherwise circumventing any billing or pricing policy mechanics or features or functionality of the Coda Platform (including with respect to free or unpaid accounts, evaluations, trials, betas, account credits, or Maker billing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, billing of Packs purchased through the Services are governed by the .

If any of Customer’s account, order, or payment method information changes, Customer agrees to promptly update this information, so that Coda or our service provider(s) may complete Customer’s transactions and contact Customer as needed. Coda is not liable for any unauthorized use of Customer’s credit card, debit card, or other payment method by a third-party in connection with Customer’s use of the Services.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, THE CODA PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN AS-IS, AS AVAILABLE BASIS.
Term; Termination.
Term. Unless earlier terminated as provided in this Section, this Agreement will become effective upon the Effective Date of this Agreement and will terminate on the expiration of the last Order Form under this Agreement (the “Term”). Either Party may provide written notice of its intention to terminate an Order Form to the other Party at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the then-current Subscription Period.
Termination.
By Either Party. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party upon delivery of written notice of termination to the other Party, as follows:
if the other Party fails to perform or observe any material term or condition in this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such breach from the non-breaching Party;
if the other Party (i) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) admits in writing its inability to pay debts as they come due, (iii) voluntarily files a petition or similar document initiating any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding, or (iv) involuntarily becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding and such proceeding will not have been dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) days after such filing; or
if no Order Forms are in effect.
Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, each Party will promptly return, make available or at the other Party’s request, destroy all Confidential Information of the other Party (including the User Content). Customer acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement governs Customer’s subscription to the Enterprise package of the Coda Platform. Customer’s continued use of the Coda Platform upon the expiration or termination of applicable Order Form or this Agreement shall be governed by Coda’s standard terms of service available online.
Survival. Sections 3.2, 3.3, 4, 5.1 (until all payments are made), 5.2, 6, 7.3, 8, 9.2.2, 9.3, and 10-13 will survive termination of this Agreement for any reason. All other rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will expire upon termination of this Agreement, except that all payment obligations accrued hereunder prior to termination or expiration will survive such termination.
Confidentiality.
Confidential Information. From time to time during the Term, either Party may disclose information to the other, which, (i) if in written, graphic, machine readable or other tangible form is marked “Confidential” or “Proprietary” or which, if disclosed orally or by demonstration, is identified at the time of disclosure as confidential and reduced to a writing marked “Confidential” and delivered to the receiving party within thirty (30) days of such disclosure; or (ii) by the nature of the circumstances surrounding the disclosure, ought in good faith to be treated as confidential (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Notwithstanding any failure to so identify them, all technology or proprietary information underlying the Coda Platform will be deemed Confidential Information of Coda, and the User Content will be deemed Confidential Information of Customer.
Nondisclosure. Each Party (each a “Receiving Party”) agrees that it will use and reproduce the Confidential Information of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) only for purposes of exercising its rights and performing its obligations under this Agreement and only to the extent necessary for such purposes; will restrict disclosure of such Confidential Information to the Receiving Party’s employees, consultants, or advisors who have a need to know; and will not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party. The foregoing obligations will be satisfied by the Receiving Party through the exercise of at least the same degree of care used to restrict disclosure and use of its own information of like importance, but not less than reasonable care. All third parties to whom the Receiving Party discloses Confidential Information must be bound in writing by obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as protective of such information as this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it will not be a breach of this Agreement for the Receiving Party to disclose Confidential Information if compelled to do so under law, in a judicial or other governmental investigation or proceeding; provided that, to the extent permitted by law, the Receiving Party has given the Disclosing Party prior notice and reasonable assistance to permit the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to object to and/or limit the judicial or governmental requirement to disclosure.
Exceptions. Confidential Information excludes information that: (i) was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed or has entered the public domain through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) was known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, at the time of disclosure, as demonstrated by files in existence at the time of disclosure; (iii) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party; (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without any use of the Confidential Information, as demonstrated by files created at the time of such independent development; (v) becomes known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, from a source other than the Disclosing Party without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party and otherwise not in violation of the Disclosing Party’s rights; or (vi) is disclosed generally to third parties by the Disclosing Party without restrictions similar to those contained in this Agreement.
Remedies. The Receiving Party agrees that a breach of this Section may result in immediate and irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party that money damages alone may be inadequate to compensate. Therefore, in the event of such a breach, the Disclosing Party may seek equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, temporary injunction or permanent injunction without the posting of a bond or other security.
Limitation of Liability.
EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF THE OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS BASED UPON CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE.
MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY. THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF PAYMENTS MADE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE APPLICABLE ONE-YEAR TERM DURING WHICH THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY TOOK PLACE.
EXCLUSIONS. THE LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.2 SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY RESULTING FROM A PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, CUSTOMER’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS. THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF EACH PARTY WITH REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT. THE DISCLAIMERS CONTAINED IN SECTIONS 7 AND 8 ABOVE AND THE LIMITATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 11 ARE A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THE BASIS OF EACH PARTY’S BARGAIN HEREUNDER, AND NEITHER PARTY WOULD ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT ABSENT SUCH LIMITATIONS. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THESE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.
Indemnification.
Mutual Indemnification. Each Party will indemnify, defend and hold the other Party and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns harmless from and against all third party claims, suits, actions, damages, settlements, losses, liabilities, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses arising from a claim that the Coda Platform (as to Coda), or the User Content (as to Customer) violates any applicable statute, regulation, or law, or infringes any Intellectual Property Right or other proprietary or legal right of any third party (a “Claim”). This indemnity does not apply to, and Coda will have no obligation to Customer for, any infringement or misappropriation claim that arises from (i) modifications to the Coda Platform by anyone other than Coda, (ii) modifications to the Coda Platform based upon specifications furnished by Customer, (iii) Customer’s use of the Coda Platform other than as specified in this Agreement, or (iv) use of the Coda Platform in conjunction with third party software, hardware or data other than that approved by Coda.
Procedure. The indemnified Party will promptly notify the indemnifying Party in writing of any Claim; provided that the failure to provide such notice will not relieve the indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations except to the extent of any material prejudice directly resulting from such failure. The indemnifying Party will bear full responsibility for, and will have the right to solely control, the defense (including any settlements) of any Claim; provided, however, that (i) the indemnifying Party will keep the indemnified Party informed of, and consult with the indemnified Party in connection with, the progress of such litigation or settlement and (ii) the indemnifying Party will not settle any Claim in a manner that does not unconditionally release the indemnified Party without the indemnified Party’s written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Infringement Remedy. In the event any portion of the Coda Platform is held or believed by Coda, or any portion of the User Content is held or believed by Customer, to infringe or misappropriate Intellectual Property Rights of any third party (such portion to be deemed the “Infringing Materials”) in any place where the Coda Platform is used or accessed, then in addition to any other rights in this Section 12, Coda (where the Infringing Materials are the Coda Platform) or Customer (where the Infringing Materials are the User Content) will, at its sole expense and at its option: (i) obtain from such third party the right for the other Party to continue to use the Infringing Materials; or (ii) modify the Infringing Materials to avoid and eliminate such infringement or misappropriation, as the case may be; or (iii) upon mutual agreement with the other Party, remove and disable the Infringing Materials; or (iv) if none of the foregoing remedies is commercially feasible, terminate this Agreement.
THIS SECTION 12 SETS FORTH EACH PARTY’S ENTIRE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION, AND EACH PARTY’S SOLE REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
Miscellaneous.
Relationship of the Parties. The Parties are independent contractors and will have no right to assume or create any obligation or responsibility on behalf of the other Party.

Customer may not assign, sublicense, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Coda; provided that Customer may assign this Agreement to an entity merging with, consolidating with, or purchasing substantially all its assets or stock; provided, further, that the assignee will assume all rights and obligations under this Agreement. Coda may delegate or subcontract its obligations hereunder to a third party; provided that in such event, Coda shall at all times remain responsible for the performance of such obligations by any such third party. Any permitted assignment of this Agreement will be binding upon and enforceable by and against the Parties’ successors and assigns; provided that any unauthorized assignment will be null and void and constitute a breach of this Agreement.
Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person (including by overnight courier) or three days after being mailed by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), and on the date the notice is sent when sent by email unless the sender receives an automated message that the email has not been delivered, in each case to the respective Parties at the address first set forth on the Order Form. Either Party may change its contact information by providing the other Party with notice of the change in accordance with this Section.
Force Majeure. Except for payment obligations, if either Party is prevented from performing or is unable to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the Party invoking this provision, including acts of God, pandemics, acts of civil or military authorities, riots or civil disobedience, wars, strikes or labor disputes (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), such Party’s performance will be excused and the time for performance will be extended accordingly provided that the Party immediately takes all reasonably necessary steps to resume full performance.

Customer shall use commercially reasonable efforts and provide all requested information to allow Coda to publish the case study no later than sixty (60 days) following entry into the Agreement, or as may be otherwise agreed between the Parties.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except with respect to enforcing claims for injunctive or equitable relief, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or the interpretation, application, enforcement, breach, termination, or validity thereof (including any claim of inducement of this Agreement by fraud and including determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate) or its subject matter (collectively, “Disputes”) shall be determined by binding arbitration before one arbitrator. NEITHER PARTY MAY PURSUE ANY CLAIM AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY AS A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. CLAIMS REGARDING ANY DISPUTE AND REMEDIES SOUGHT AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION MUST BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS, NONREPRESENTATIVE) BASIS. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS conducted in accordance with the expedited procedures set forth in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures as those Rules exist on the date Customer first creates its account or accesses and/or uses the Services, including Rules 16.1 and 16.2 of those Rules. The arbitration shall be held in New York, New York, and it shall be conducted in the English language. The Parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and any award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision. The arbitrator shall have authority to award compensatory damages only and is not empowered to award any punitive, exemplary, or multiple damages, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16). Each Party shall be responsible for its respective fees, including attorney’s and expert’s fees, in pursuing or defending a claim hereunder. Judgment on any award in arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the above, each Party shall have recourse to any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce claims for injunctive and other equitable relief. Nothing herein shall preclude either Party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be replaced with the valid provision that most closely reflects the intent of the Parties and the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
Waiver. No delay or failure by either Party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of such right or remedy. All waivers must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Party waiving its rights. A waiver by any Party of any breach or covenant will not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of any other covenant.
Interpretation. The headings of the sections and paragraphs contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience and are not intended to be part of or to affect the interpretation of this Agreement. The term “including” will be deemed to mean “including, without limitation.”
Construction; Advice of Counsel. Both Parties acknowledge and agree that the Agreement has been jointly prepared and its provisions will not be construed more strictly against either Party as a result of its participation in such preparation. Each Party acknowledges and represents that, in executing this Agreement, it has had the opportunity to seek advice as to its legal rights from legal counsel and that the person signing on its behalf has read and understood all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
