Customer acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Customer does not own its User Account, nor does Customer possess any rights to data stored by or on behalf of AccessGrid on the servers running the Service.
3.2 Connecting Via Third-Party Services
By connecting to the Service via a third-party service, Customer gives AccessGrid permission to access and use Customer's information from that service, as permitted by that service, and to store Customer's log-in credentials and/or access tokens for that service.
3.3 Account Security
Customer may never use another user's User Account without such user's permission. When creating a User Account, Customer must provide accurate and complete information, and must keep this information up to date. Customer is solely responsible for the activity that occurs on Customer's User Account, Customer will keep its User Account password(s) and/or any other authentication credentials secure, and it will not share Customer's password(s) and/or any other authentication credentials with anyone else. AccessGrid encourages use of "strong" passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols) to protect User Accounts. AccessGrid will not be liable for, and expressly disclaims liability for, any losses caused by any unauthorized use of Customer's User Account and/or any changes to Customer's User Account, including changes made by any Authorized Users with administrator-level access to Customer's User Account. Customer will notify AccessGrid immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of Customer's User Account.

Occasionally, AccessGrid looks for beta testers to help AccessGrid test its new features. These features will be identified as "beta" or "pre-release," or words or phrases with similar meanings (each, a "Beta Product"). Beta Products are made available on an "as is," and "as available" basis and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, without any warranties or contractual commitments AccessGrid makes for other aspects of the AccessGrid Technology.
4. Fees; Payment
4.1 Fees
Customer will pay AccessGrid all fees of the type and amount set forth on the Customer's account via the Service ("Fees"). Customer will pay for any excess usage beyond any usage limitations or metrics on which Fees are based on AccessGrid's then current standard rates for such usage as specified in your User Account. AccessGrid reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and Fees at the end of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term (as applicable), upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Customer (which may be sent by email). Unless otherwise required by law, (a) all Fees are non-cancellable, non-refundable, and non-recoupable; and (b) all invoices for Fees are due and payable in United States Dollars.
4.2 Payment
To use the Service, you must provide AccessGrid with at least one (1) current, valid payment card that is accepted by AccessGrid and its third party payment processor (each such card, a "Payment Method"). By providing a Payment Method, you authorize each of AccessGrid and its third-party payment processor ("Payment Processor") to charge that Payment Method the applicable Fees and taxes, including, if applicable, on a recurring basis until you cancel your subscription to the Service in accordance with this Agreement. Fees and taxes will be charged to your Payment Method on the specific payment date indicated in your User Account. In some cases, your payment date may change, for example, if your Payment Method has not successfully settled, if you changed your subscription plan, or if your subscription began on a date not contained in a subsequent month. The length of your billing cycle will depend on the type of subscription in which you are enrolled, if applicable. Fees are fully earned upon payment. AccessGrid may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of Service-related charges through various methods, including authorizing it up to one (1) month of service as soon as you register for the Service. AccessGrid or Payment Processor will attempt to verify your Payment Method(s), and may do so by processing an authorization hold, which is standard practice. To the extent Payment Processor processes payments made by you, you will be subject to terms and conditions governing the use of Payment Processor's service. Please review such terms and conditions as well as Payment Processor's privacy notice (each of which is available on Payment Processor's website). You acknowledge and understand that Payment Processor may collect and retain third-party fees whenever you pay Fees. You understand that BY SIGNING UP FOR THE SERVICE, unless and until you notify ACCESSGRID of your intent to cancel, your subscription TO THE SERVICE and the corresponding FEES will automatically renew, YOU AUTHORIZE ACCESSGRID AND PAYMENT PROCESSOR TO CHARGE YOU, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INITIAL TERM AND EACH RENEWAL TERM, THE FEES FOR THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION, ANY APPLICABLE TAXES, AND ANY OTHER CHARGES YOU MAY INCUR IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH SUBSCRIPTION.
4.3 Representations
You represent and warrant that: (a) the account, order, and Payment Method information you supply to AccessGrid and/or to Payment Processor, as applicable, is true, accurate, correct, and complete; (b) you are duly authorized to use the Payment Method(s); (c) you will pay any and all charges incurred by users of your Payment Method in connection with the Service, including any applicable Fees (at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred) and Taxes; and (d) charges incurred by you will be honored by your Payment Method company. ACCESSGRID DISCLAIMS any and all liability with respect to, and you understand and acknowledge that ACCESSGRID IS NOT responsible for: (X) any security or privacy breaches related to your credit card or other Payment Method, (Y) any fees that may be charged to you by your bank in connection with the collection of Fees, and/or (Z) any unauthorized use of your credit card, debit card, or other Payment Method by a third party.
4.4 Late Payment
If, due to an inaccurate or faulty payment method provided by Customer, Customer's payment is overdue, then AccessGrid may (x) charge interest from the due date at the lesser of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate allowed by law, if less) until paid in full, and (y) suspend the Service if Customer's payment is overdue for more than thirty (30) days, with advance notice to Customer.
4.5 Taxes
Customer is responsible for all Taxes, arising out of the Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. AccessGrid will itemize any invoiced Taxes, and Customer will pay invoiced Taxes without any deduction or withholding. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to more accurately determine each Party's tax liability and to minimize such liability to the extent legally permissible.
5. Proprietary Rights
5.1 Intellectual Property Rights
Customer acknowledges that AccessGrid owns and retains all rights, title, and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the AccessGrid Technology, including all technology, software, algorithms, user interfaces, trade secrets, improvements, techniques, designs, inventions, works of authorship, and other tangible and intangible material and information pertaining thereto or included therein, and nothing in the Agreement shall preclude or restrict AccessGrid from using or exploiting any concepts, ideas, techniques or know-how of or related to the AccessGrid Technology or otherwise arising in connection with AccessGrid's performance under the Agreement.

8. Indemnification
8.1 By AccessGrid

8.3 Exclusions
Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 will not apply to the extent the underlying allegation arises from: (a) the indemnified Party's breach of the Agreement or (b) for any use of the Service in combination (as applicable) with materials not provided by AccessGrid under the Agreement, unless the combination is required by the Agreement.
8.4 Conditions
Any indemnified Party must promptly notify the indemnifying Party in writing of any allegation(s) that preceded the Third-Party Legal Proceeding and cooperate reasonably with the indemnifying Party to resolve the allegation(s) and Third-Party Legal Proceeding.

8.5 Remedies
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any intellectual property infringement claim is brought or threatened against Customer, or if AccessGrid reasonably believes that the Service may infringe a third party's Intellectual Property Rights, then AccessGrid may, at its sole option and expense: (a) procure for Customer the right to continue to use the Service; (b) modify the Service, as applicable, to make it non-infringing without materially reducing their functionality; (c) replace the affected aspect of the Service with non-infringing technology having substantially similar capabilities; or (d) if AccessGrid determines, in its sole discretion, that none of the foregoing remedies are commercially practicable, then it may choose to suspend or terminate the impacted Service or the Agreement as a whole and refund Customer, on a pro-rated basis, any pre-paid Fees for the corresponding unused portion of the Term.

12.8 Arbitration
The Parties agree to resolve all disputes arising under or in connection with the Agreement through binding arbitration. A Party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other Party. The Parties will use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute directly, but if the Parties do not reach an agreement to do so within thirty (30) days after the notice is received, either Party may commence an arbitration proceeding. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA Rules"). The arbitration will be conducted in English in New York, New York, USA. If the Parties do not agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the applicable rules of the AAA for the appointment of an arbitrator. The selection of an arbitrator under the rules of the AAA will be final and binding on the Parties. The arbitrator must be independent of the Parties. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding on both Parties, and the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The costs and expenses of the arbitration will be shared equally by both Parties; however, if the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in arbitration is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 12.8 will not prohibit either Party from: (a) bringing an individual action in small claims court; (b) seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction; (c) pursuing an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; or (d) filing suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claim. If this Section 12.8 is found to be unenforceable, the Parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 12.5 will govern any action arising out of or related to the Agreement.
