8. Confidential & Proprietary Information.
For purposes of this Section, a Party receiving Confidential & Proprietary Information (as defined below) shall be the
"Recipient" and the Party disclosing such information shall be the "Discloser."
(a) Acknowledgment. Customer hereby acknowledges that the Service (including any Documentation, source code,
translations, compilations, partial copies and derivative works used in connection with the Services) is provided using
confidential and proprietary information belonging exclusively to CartStack (or its designees), and CartStack hereby
acknowledges that Customer Data contains confidential and proprietary information belonging exclusively to Customer or
relating to its affairs (in each case, "Confidential & Proprietary Information"). Confidential & Proprietary Information
does not include: (i) information already known or independently developed by Recipient outside the scope of this
relationship by personnel not having access to any Confidential & Proprietary Information; (ii) information in the
public domain through no wrongful act of Recipient, or (iii) information received by Recipient from a third party who
was free to disclose it.
(b) Covenant. Recipient hereby agrees that during the Term and at all times thereafter it shall not use, commercialize,
or disclose such Confidential & Proprietary Information of the Discloser to any person or entity, except to its own
employees and agents having a "need to know" (and who themselves are bound by similar nondisclosure restrictions), and
to such other recipients as the Discloser may approve in writing; provided that all such recipients shall have first
executed a confidentiality agreement in a form acceptable to Discloser. Recipient shall not: (i) alter or remove from
any Confidential & Proprietary Information of the Discloser any proprietary legend, or (ii) decompile, disassemble, or
reverse engineer the Confidential & Proprietary Information (and any information derived in violation of such covenant
shall automatically be deemed Confidential & Proprietary Information owned exclusively by the Discloser). Recipient
shall use at least the same degree of care in safeguarding the Confidential & Proprietary Information of the Discloser
as it uses in safeguarding its own confidential information, but in any event at least reasonable care. Upon termination
or expiration of this Agreement, and regardless of whether a dispute may exist, Recipient shall, upon request by
Discloser, return or destroy (as instructed by Discloser) all Confidential & Proprietary Information of Discloser in its
possession or control and cease all further use thereof.
(c) Injunctive Relief. Recipient acknowledges that violation of the provisions of this Section would cause irreparable
harm to Discloser not adequately compensable by monetary damages. In addition to other relief, it is agreed that
injunctive relief shall be available without necessity of posting bond to prevent any actual or threatened violation of
such provisions.
9. Warranties.
(a) Noninfringement Warranty. CartStack represents and warrants to the best of its knowledge and belief that the
Service, when properly used as contemplated herein, will not infringe or misappropriate any third party Intellectual
Property Rights. Upon being notified of such a claim, CartStack shall at its option: (i) defend through litigation or
obtain through negotiation the right of Customer to continue using the Service; (ii) rework the Service so as to make it
noninfringing while preserving the original functionality, or (iii) replace the Service with functionally equivalent
services. If none of the foregoing alternatives provide an adequate remedy, Customer may terminate all or any part of
this Agreement. Customer represents and warrants that it owns or has all requisite rights to use the Customer Data with
the Service, and to authorize CartStack to use Customer Data as contemplated herein, and that such use will not infringe
or misappropriate any third-party Intellectual Property Rights.

accordance with the applicable Documentation; provided, that (i) the Service is implemented and operated in accordance
with all instructions supplied by CartStack; (ii) Customer notifies CartStack of any defect within ten (10) calendar
days after the appearance thereof; and (iii) Customer has paid all amounts due hereunder and is not in default of any

WILL OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR BE ERROR FREE. CARTSTACK MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO
SERVICES PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS RELATING TO OR SUPPORTING THE APPLICATION, INCLUDING HOSTING AND
MAINTENANCE SERVICES, AND ANY CLAIM OF CUSTOMER ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO SUCH SERVICES WILL, AS BETWEEN CARTSTACK AND
SUCH SERVICE PROVIDER, BE SOLELY AGAINST SUCH SERVICE PROVIDER. THE APPLICATION AND SERVICE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND
CARTSTACK HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INCLUDING ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, ACCURACY, QUALITY, INTEGRATION, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
10. Mutual Indemnity.
(a) By CartStack. CartStack shall defend, indemnify, and hold Customer harmless from any claim, suit, demand, or action
brought against Customer (including reasonable attorney fees) that CartStack violated Section 8 ("Confidentiality &
Proprietary Information") or that the Service in the form provided violates or infringes any Intellectual Property
Rights, provided that CartStack is given prompt notice of the claim and sole control over the defense and any settlement
thereof (except CartStack shall not enter into any settlement prejudicial to Customer without Customer's consent).
CartStack is not obligated under this Section to the extent any claim arises from Customer's breach of this Agreement or
use of the Service in combination with any other service or any software, data, process, or technology not supplied by
CartStack (where there would be no claim, but for such combination) or unless Customer provides CartStack its reasonable
cooperation, subject to CartStack reimbursing Customer for its reasonable expenses arising from such cooperation.
(b) By Customer. Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold CartStack harmless from any claim, suit, demand, or action
brought against CartStack (including reasonable attorney fees) that Customer violated Section 8 ("Confidentiality &
Proprietary Information") or that Customer Data or Customer's use of the Service harms any person, violates any law, or
infringes any Intellectual Property Rights, provided that Customer is given prompt notice of the claim and sole control
over the defense and any settlement of any third party claim (except Customer shall not enter into any settlement
prejudicial to CartStack without CartStack's consent). Customer is not obligated under this Section to the extent any
claim arises from CartStack's breach of this Agreement or use of Customer Data in connection with services other than
the Services (where there would be no claim, but for such combination) or unless CartStack provides Customer its
reasonable cooperation, subject to Customer reimbursing CartStack for its reasonable expenses arising from such
cooperation.

Agreement or to the rights or duties of the parties under this Agreement. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, or its subject matter, shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Either party may send a notice to the other party of its

Minneapolis, Minnesota by a single arbitrator knowledgeable in the commercial aspects of “software as a service”
arrangements and intellectual property. The parties will mutually appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the

after the commencement of the hearing. Prior to the hearing, each party will have the right to take up to four (4)
evidentiary depositions, and exchange two (2) sets of document production requests and two sets, each, of not more than
ten (10) interrogatories. The arbitrator will provide detailed written explanations to the parties to support their
award and regardless of outcome, each party shall pay its own costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) associated
with the arbitration proceeding and fifty percent (50%) of the fees of the arbitrator and the AAA. The arbitration award
will be final and binding and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
15. Independent Contractor Status. Each Party and its employees and agents are independent contractors in relation to
the other Party with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be deemed to establish a
partnership, joint venture, association or employment relationship between the Parties. Each Party shall remain
responsible, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Party, for the withholding and payment of all Federal,
state and local personal income, wage, earnings, occupation, social security, worker's compensation, unemployment,
sickness and disability insurance taxes, payroll levies or employee benefit requirements now existing or hereafter
enacted and attributable to themselves and their respective people.
16. Modifications to Agreement.
(a) Posting of Revised Agreement. CartStack may modify this agreement by posting a revised version at
http://cartstack.com/terms. The revised agreement is effective immediately unless CartStack expressly states otherwise.
Continued use of the Service by the Customer beyond the Grace Period defined below constitutes acceptance by the
Customer of the revised agreement. It is the responsibility of the Customer to regularly check the posted agreement for
changes.
(b) Grace Period. Customers that do not accept to the revised agreement may notify CartStack within fifteen (15) days
and terminate the agreement by paying any remaining usage fees.
17. Publicity.
Customer agrees that CartStack may identify Customer as a customer and use Customer’s logo and trademark in CartStack’s
promotional materials. Customer may request that CartStack stop doing so by submitting an email to support@cartstack.com
at any time. Customer acknowledges that it may take CartStack up to 30 days to process such request. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, Customer acknowledges that CartStack may disclose the existence and terms and
conditions of this Agreement to its advisors, actual, and potential sources of financing and to third parties for
purposes of due diligence.

omissions of third party technology providers, riots, fires, earthquakes, floods, power blackouts, strikes, weather
conditions or acts of hackers, internet service providers, or any other third party or acts or omissions of Customer.
19. Assignment.
Neither party may assign this Agreement to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party,
provided that no consent shall be required for CartStack to assign this Agreement in the event of any merger,
reorganization, consolidation, sale of assets, or similar change-in-control transaction. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties’ successors and permitted assigns. Either party may employ subcontractors
in performing its duties under this Agreement, provided, however, that such party shall not be relieved of any
obligation under this Agreement.
20. No Third Party Beneficiaries.
This Agreement is an agreement between the parties, and confers no rights upon either party’s employees, agents,
contractors, partners of customers, or upon any other person or entity.
21. Miscellaneous.

between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other communications, whether written or
oral. Except as specifically permitted herein, neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be

void. CartStack reserves all rights not specifically granted herein. Neither Party shall be liable for delays caused by
events beyond its reasonable control, except non-payment of amounts due hereunder shall not be excused by this
provision. Any provision hereof found by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable shall be
automatically conformed to the minimum requirements of law and all other provisions shall remain in full force and
effect. Waiver of any provision hereof in one instance shall not preclude enforcement thereof on future occasions.
