IT-HARVEST MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT
Version 1.10
Date: October 23, 2022

This Master Services Agreement is between licensee (the “Licensee” or “Client”) and IT-Harvest (“IT-Harvest” or the “Licensor”) (each may be individually referred to as “Party”, or collectively, the “Parties”). Licensee as defined in the agreement shall be the company, legal entity, or person, that has acquired a license (the “License” as defined in section 2.2 herein) to access electronic information published or otherwise made available by IT-Harvest under this agreement (the “Licensed Material” as defined in section 2.1 herein), including, but not limited to IT-Harvest’s proprietary database via the IT-Harvest technology, which includes, but is not limited to, IT- Harvest’s password-protected online services, application programming interfaces (the “APIs”), data warehouse solution, any other software that connects IT-Harvest’s database with any customer relationship manager tool, marketing automation tool, sales enablement software, or other similar software, and IT-Harvest’s Chrome extension and Mozilla extension (collectively, the “IT-Harvest Technology”). You hereby represent that you have the legal authority to bind the licensee to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

You hereby accept the terms of this Master Services Agreement (the “MSA”) by that you accept these terms by confirming that you have read and accept them. The terms of the MSA shall apply to the subscription services and contract terms and the Licensed Material.

IT-Harvest reserves the right to change or modify the MSA from time to time. If such change or modification materially impairs Licensee’s rights, IT-Harvest will give written notice to Licensee. Any change or modification will be effective upon posting on the IT-Harvest site where the MSA may be found. Licensee is advised to review the MSA periodically. Licensee’s continued use of the Licensed Material following the posting of any change or modification to the MSA will constitute Licensee’s acceptance of such change or modification. If Licensee does not agree to the amended MSA, Licensee must stop accessing and using the service and notify IT-Harvest of such disagreement.

2.2.    License. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, IT-Harvest hereby grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, fee-bearing, limited license during the Term (the “Term” as as selected when choosing a recurring payment plan) to access and use the Licensed Material (the “License”).

3.  FEES     Licensee shall pay all fees outlined and listed in accordance to the terms when ordering, and any addendum (the “IT-Harvest Fees”).

Suspension or termination of the License shall have no effect on the Term or Licensee's obligation to pay the IT-Harvest Fees. This is not intended to be IT-Harvest's exclusive remedy, and IT-Harvest retains all rights and remedies it may have at law or in equity.

Licensee may not assign or delegate its rights or obligations, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, without IT-Harvest’s prior written consent. IT- Harvest may assign this Agreement without Licensee’s consent to IT-Harvest’s successor entity in the case where IT-Harvest undergoes any reincorporation, merger, acquisition, sale, purchase, or other business combination (the “Corporate Restructure”), provided that any such assignee fulfills IT-Harvest’s obligations set forth in this Agreement. In the event Licensee undergoes any Corporate Restructure into a successor entity, Licensee shall be strictly prohibited from providing the Licensed Material or access to the Licensed Material to any additional users beyond the Authorized Users created prior to the Corporate Restructure. Upon its Corporate Restructure, the Licensee will not be able to add additional seats or Authorized Users, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will continue to bind Licensee’s successor entity upon any Corporate Restructure. Any assignment or delegation in violation of this Agreement shall be void.

12. BREACH

In the event the Licensee is in breach of any of the terms or obligations of this Agreement, said breach shall constitute grounds for termination of the Agreement. Licensee agrees to pay all costs incurred by IT-Harvest in endeavoring to enforce the terms of this Agreement, including reasonable attorney fees. IT-Harvest and Licensee will make a good faith attempt to resolve any and all claims and disputes through mediation or alternate dispute resolution prior to taking any legal action or filing any legal proceeding in court. Licensee’s breach shall have no effect on Licensee’s obligation to pay the IT-Harvest Fees. Without limiting the remedies available to IT- Harvest, Licensee acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Par. 5 of this Agreement above may result in material irreparable injury to IT-Harvest for which there is no
adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure precisely damages for such injuries and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, IT-Harvest shall be entitled, without the requirement to post bond or other security, to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or injunction restraining Licensee from engaging in activities prohibited by this Agreement, or requiring Licensee to take actions to protect the property of IT-Harvest or such other relief as may be required to specifically enforce any of the covenants in Par. 5 of this Agreement.

13. GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed for all purposes by the laws of the State of Michigan without regard to choice of law principles. The Parties agree that the courts of the State of Michigan and the County of Oakland shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any and all disputes arising from this Agreement and that neither Party will bring any action under this agreement in any other jurisdiction.

14. WAIVER

The waiver by either Party of a breach of, or default under, any provision of this Agreement shall not be effective unless in writing and shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of, or default under, the same or any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall any forbearance or delay on the part of either Party in enforcing any provision of this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder be construed as a waiver of such provision or of a right to enforce the same for such occurrence or any future occurrence.

15. SEVERABILITY

If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired and shall remain in full force and effect, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid, legal and enforceable provision that comes closest to the intent of the Parties underlying the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

In addition, Licensee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all actual or threatened Claims, arising out of or in connection with, but not limited to the following: (a) Licensee or Authorized Users of Licensee sending any information or messages to any Licensed Material Contact (including, but not limited to, messages sent by phone, e-mail, mail or fax); (b) the use of the Licensed Material or services by any third party to whom Licensee has granted access to the Licensed Material (including access obtained through use of the usernames and
