At the end of the Initial Services Term, the Service Agreement, and your subscription to the Services, will automatically renew for successive additional periods of the same duration as the Initial Services Term (each, a “Renewal Services Term”), at Boostpoint’s then-current pricing for such Services, unless either party notifies the other in writing of its intent not to renew this Agreement at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Initial Services Term or Renewal Services Term, as applicable. The Initial Services Term and any Renewal Services Terms are collectively referred to as the “Term”. Either party may immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other in the event that the other party breaches any material term of this Agreement and such breach is not cured within fourteen (14) days after written notice from the terminating party. In the event that Boostpoint terminates this Agreement for a material or willful breach, all amounts due under this Agreement shall immediately become due and payable. Boostpoint shall also have the right to suspend the Services as provided in Section 2(d) above. Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party in the event that all outstanding Service Agreements have expired or terminated. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, all licenses granted to Customer will terminate, and Boostpoint may remove any Customer Content from the Services.
- Fees and Payment.
- Fees. Customer shall pay Boostpoint (1) the fees set forth in a Quote or in Boostpoint’s current fee schedule for the subscription plan selected by Customer in connection with Customer’s registration for the Services via Boostpoint.com, as applicable (“Subscription Fees”); and (2) the fees for the placement of advertising with each applicable social media publisher, which amounts include Boostpoint’s agency commission for the placement of such advertising (collectively, “Ad Fees”, and together with the Subscription Fees, collectively, the “Fees”), as each may be modified or updated from time to time. Customer may pre-purchase credits to be applied to Ad Fees (“Ad Credits”). Customer shall pay all Fees without offset or deduction. Customer acknowledges and agrees that (i) Subscription Fees are based on Services subscriptions purchased, and not actual usage, (ii) payment obligations are non-cancelable and Fees paid are non-refundable, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and (iii) quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term of the applicable Service Agreement, and unused Ad Credits are non-refundable and cannot be cannot be sold, traded, transferred, or exchanged for cash. All Fees shall be paid in US dollars on or before the due date set forth in the relevant Service Agreement, and shall be made by credit card or other payment method approved by Boostpoint. Boostpoint may charge interest on overdue amounts at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest lawful rate, whichever is less. In the event that Boostpoint must utilize a collection agency or institute legal proceedings to collect any Fees or other amounts due under this Agreement, Customer shall be liable for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, agency costs, and other costs associated therewith.
- Taxes. All Fees and other amounts payable by Customer under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, value added, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or a Service Agreement, other than any taxes imposed on Boostpoint’s income.
- Confidential Information. From time to time during the Term of this Agreement, either party (as the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose or make available to the other party (as the “Receiving Party”) certain Confidential Information (as defined below) of the Disclosing Party. “Confidential Information” includes documents, data, software, and information which, when provided by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party: (i) are clearly identified as “Confidential” or “Proprietary” or are marked with a similar legend; (ii) are disclosed orally or visually, and identified as Confidential Information at the time of disclosure and confirmed as Confidential Information in writing within ten (10) business days; or (iii) a reasonable person would understand to be confidential or proprietary at the time of disclosure. The Services and Documentation, as well as results of benchmark and other tests run by either party and resulting from use of the Services, shall be deemed Boostpoint Confidential Information without any need for any markings or legends, and in addition to the other restrictions in this Section 5, shall not be disclosed to any competitor of Boostpoint. Confidential Information does not include information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate by written documentation was, at the time of disclosure: (a) in the public domain; (b) already known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure; (c) rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third party; or (d) independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall not disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the Receiving Party’s employees and service providers who are bound by confidentiality agreements with terms no less restrictive than those of this Section 5 and have a need to know the Confidential Information for the Receiving Party to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the limited extent required (1) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, provided that Receiving Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall, if permitted by law, give prompt prior written notice to the Disclosing Party and cooperate reasonably with the Disclosing Party’s efforts to obtain a protective order; or (2) to establish a Party’s rights under this Agreement, including to make required court filings. The Receiving Party shall use at least the same degree of care in protecting the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as the Receiving Party generally exercises in protecting its own information of a similar nature, and shall inform its employees and contractors having access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information of its confidential nature. In no event shall the Receiving Party use less than a commercially reasonable degree of care in protecting the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. On the expiration or termination of the Agreement, the Receiving Party shall promptly return to the Disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and, upon request, certify in writing to the Disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. Each Receiving Party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information will expire five years from the date the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information is first disclosed to the Receiving Party; provided, however, with respect to any such Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.

Customer hereby grants to Boostpoint a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable (except in connection with a permitted assignment of this Agreement), non-sublicensable (except to Boostpoint’s service providers, as deemed necessary to provide services to Boostpoint) worldwide license to reproduce, distribute, and otherwise use and display the Customer Content and perform all acts with respect to the Customer Content as may be necessary for Boostpoint to provide the Services to Customer.

Any estimates or projections provided by Boostpoint are solely illustrative and shall not be construed to be a guarantee by Boostpoint.

- Boostpoint Indemnification.
- Boostpoint shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer from and against any and all out-of-pocket losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Customer resulting from any third-party claim, suit, action, or proceeding due to the infringement or misappropriation of such third party’s valid U.S. intellectual property rights by the Services, as provide by Boostpoint to Customer and used by Customer in accordance with this Agreement.
- Should the Services become, or in Boostpoint’s opinion are likely to become, subject to a claim of infringement, Customer agrees to permit Boostpoint, at Boostpoint’s sole discretion, to (A) modify or replace the Services, or component or part thereof, to make it non-infringing, or (B) obtain the right for Customer to continue use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Boostpoint, in its sole discretion, determines that neither alternative is reasonably available to it, Boostpoint may terminate this Agreement, in its entirety or with respect to the affected component or part, effective immediately on written notice to Customer and with no further liability to Customer.

- Customer Indemnification. Customer shall indemnify, hold harmless, and, at Boostpoint’s option, defend Boostpoint from and against any and all out-of-pocket losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or relating to any third-party claim, suit, action, or proceeding (1) alleging that the Customer Content, or any use of the Customer Content in accordance with this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property, privacy, or other proprietary rights, and/or (2) alleging facts that, if true, would constitute Customer’s or any Authorized User’s (i) negligence or willful misconduct; (ii) use of the Services in a manner not authorized by this Agreement; (iii) use of the Services in combination with data, software, hardware, equipment or technology not provided by Boostpoint or authorized by Boostpoint in writing; (iv) modifications to the Services by Customer, Authorized Users, or any person obtaining access through Customer or an Authorized User; or (v) Customer’s breach of its representations and warranties in this Agreement.
- The foregoing indemnification obligations of each indemnifying party will be dependent on the indemnified party: (i) providing the indemnifying party with prompt written notice of the claim (provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying party’s obligation except to the extent it is materially prejudiced thereby); (ii) permitting the indemnifying party to control the defense and settlement of the claim; (iii) refraining from entering into any settlement or compromise of any such claim without approval of the indemnifying party; (iv) providing the indemnifying party with reasonable information and assistance for the defense or settlement of the claim, at the indemnifying party’s expense; and (v) using all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any loss, damage, or costs related to the claim.
- Sole Remedy. THIS SECTION 9 SETS FORTH CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND BOOSTPOINT’S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THE SERVICES OR THEIR USE INFRINGE, MISAPPROPRIATE, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATE OR MISAPPROPRIATE ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

- Miscellaneous.
- Entire Agreement. This Agreement, as modified from time to time, and any Quote entered into by the Parties, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, and representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.
- Amendment and Modification; Waiver. Boostpoint may modify this Agreement from time to time by posting an updated version of this Agreement on Boostpoint’s website or sending notice of the change to Customer via e-mail at the e-mail address currently associated with Customer’s account. By continuing to use the Services after Boostpoint makes these modifications, Customer agrees that it will be subject to the modified Agreement with respect to Service Agreement entered into on or after the date of the modification; however, Boostpoint will not apply the modifications to the Agreement retroactively to Service Agreements entered into before the date of the modification unless Customer affirmatively consents. Boostpoint recommends that Customer periodically check the “Last Updated” date of this Agreement as posted on Boostpoint website in order to keep apprised of any changes. Except as expressly provided herein, the Agreement may only be changed in a writing signed by authorized representatives of each party. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (i) no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, and (ii) no single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
- Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect their original intent as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
- Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the licenses granted hereunder will be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in each case located in the city of Philadelphia and County of Philadelphia, and each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action, or proceeding.
- Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any third party or agency without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign this Agreement without consent to a successor (by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets, reorganization or otherwise) to substantially all of the assets or business of the business unit to which this Agreement relates. Boostpoint may also, without notice, utilize subcontractors and agents to provide aspects of the Services, provided, however, that Boostpoint shall remain primarily responsible for compliance with its obligations under this Agreement. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section will be null and void. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
- Export Regulation. The Services utilize software and technology that may be subject to US export control laws, including the US Export Administration Act and its associated regulations. Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Services or the underlying software or technology to, or make the Services or the underlying software or technology accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by law, rule, or regulation. Customer shall comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing, or otherwise making the Services or the underlying software or technology available outside the US.
- US Government Rights. The Services and any related information are commercial computer software and commercial computer software documentation, and, as specified in FAR 12.212 or DFARS 227.7202, and their successors, as applicable, the U.S. federal government’s rights to use, reproduce or disclose such software, documentation and other information are restricted in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Use, duplication or disclosure by the U.S. federal government is subject to the restrictions as set forth in subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at DFARS 252.227-7013 or subparagraphs (c)(1) and (2) of the Commercial Computer Software-Restricted Rights at 48 CFR 52.227-19, as applicable.
- Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under Sections 5, 6, or, in the case of Customer, Section 2(b), would cause the other party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise.
- Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable to the other, following notice thereof, for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations (except for required payments and the parties’ obligations pursuant to Section 2(b), 5, and 6 above) for any cause that is beyond the reasonable control of such party, including, without limitation, acts of God, shortages of supplies, labor or materials, strikes and other labor disputes, storms, floods, acts of war or terrorism, third-party hacking and other criminal or malicious activities, utility brown-outs, failures of telecommunications or the Internet, epidemics, pandemics, public health crisis (including, but not limited to, COVID-19), and actions by a governmental authority (such as changes in government codes, ordinances, laws, rules, regulations, or restrictions) (collectively, “Force Majeure Events”). For the avoidance of doubt, Force Majeure Events do not include economic hardship, changes in market conditions, and/or insufficiency of funds, including to the extent caused by or resulting from any of the circumstances described in this section.
- No Agency. The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a joint venture, partnership, or agency relationship between the parties in this Agreement.
- Press Release. Boostpoint may issue a press release regarding Customer’s entry into this Agreement and use of the Services. Boostpoint may also refer to Customer as a customer or user of the Services in marketing materials, trade shows, and other promotional or industry-focused communications, and on Boostpoint’s website.
- All notices shall be in writing and shall be delivered by personal delivery, facsimile transmission, e-mail, overnight mail or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed given upon personal delivery, five days after deposit in the mail, or upon acknowledgment or confirmation of delivery of e-mail or facsimile transmission.
