2.2Proprietary Rights. Ownership of and all right, title and interest to each Solution, Enhanced Data, Technology and Related Materials (including but not limited to, originals, translations, compilations and partial copies, if any), and any enhancements or derivative works thereof and all related Intellectual Property Rights, shall remain solely in iTradeNetwork and its licensors. Except as specifically authorized in writing by iTradeNetwork, Customer may not, nor allow others to, copy or otherwise reproduce any Solution, Technology, or Related Materials in whole or in part or attempt to unlock, download, reverse assemble, reverse compile, run third-party software applications other than approved integrated applications or browsers upon, or disrupt operation of any Solution or Technology. Customer will not, and will ensure that any agent of Customer does not, delete or in any manner alter the copyright, trademark, and any other proprietary rights notices of iTradeNetwork, if any, appearing on a Solution, Technology, or Related Materials as delivered to Customer. Customer will reproduce such notices on all authorized copies it makes of any Related Materials. Customer’s use of any Solution, Technology, or Related Materials will be limited to the use described in the applicable Order Form or SOW and only in connection with and only so long as, Customer is entitled to use a Solution in accordance with this Agreement. Customer agrees not to: (1) provide access to any Site or Solution to any third party or person who is not an Authorized User of such Site or Solution and Customer shall ensure that the Authorized Links shall only be used by Customer and its Authorized Users solely for the purposes of and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (2) directly, or through any third party, sell, license, barter, trade, transfer, or otherwise make or allow access to a Solution to any third party without iTradeNetwork’s prior written consent; (3) allow any further processing or analysis of Enhanced Data (other than mere reformatting for presentation purposes) or Confidential Information through any outsourced service or application competitive with iTradeNetwork and not approved by iTradeNetwork; or (4) attempt to derive any of iTradeNetwork’s product naming conventions or methods for deriving any iTradeNetwork product codes or iTradeNetwork product names; (5) engage in Automated Access of any Solution or iTradeNetwork system, except as expressly authorized in writing by iTradeNetwork, regardless of the purpose of such access and including any access that, in iTradeNetwork’s reasonable determination, mimics, replicates, or substitutes for human interaction with a Solution; (6) use any AI/ML System or other automated means to observe, analyze, monitor, or interact with any Solution in a manner likely to extract, mirror, or reconstruct the functionality, algorithms, data models, schemas, business logic, or underlying structure of any Solution or iTradeNetwork technology; or (7) use any Solution, Output Data, Enhanced Data, or any data or metadata obtained through or derived from a Solution to: (a) train, fine-tune, or otherwise develop or improve any AI/ML System, whether for Customer’s own use or for the benefit of any third party provided that nothing in this clause shall prohibit Customer from using Output Data solely for its own internal business analysis purposes using AI/ML tools, so long as such use does not involve training or improving any AI/ML System using Output Data, Enhanced Data, or any data or metadata derived from a Solution, or (b) develop, create, or enhance any product, service, database, or model, whether or not competitive with iTradeNetwork, that incorporates, is derived from, or is trained or built upon Output Data, Enhanced Data, or any data or metadata derived from a Solution,. Customer acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of items (5), (6), or (7) of this Section 2.2 may cause irreparable harm to iTradeNetwork for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that iTradeNetwork shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in addition to any other remedies available at law, without the requirement to post bond.

2.3Data Use Rights. Ownership of and all right, title and interest to Customer Content shall remain with Customer. Customer grants iTradeNetwork a nonexclusive, worldwide license to access, use, and process Customer Content solely to the extent necessary to provide, operate, maintain, support, and improve the Solution and related Services under the Agreement and any applicable Order or SOW. Customer further grants iTradeNetwork a nonexclusive, worldwide license to access, use, and process Customer Account Data solely to the extent necessary to establish, administer, and provide access to an account for use of the Solution. iTradeNetwork shall have the further right to disclose or publish, without Customer's consent, Customer Content in aggregated and de-identified form that is not directly attributable to Customer, for any lawful business purpose including benchmarking, analytics, and product development as such aggregated, de-identified data constitutes Enhanced Data owned by iTradeNetwork.

Where a Solution is used by two or more Customers to transact with one another, each Customer authorizes iTradeNetwork to transmit its Customer Content to the applicable Trading Partner(s) as necessary to complete the transaction, and authorizes the receiving Trading Partner to access, use, and retain such Trading Partner Data for purposes of fulfillment, invoicing, accounting, tax, and audit related to that transaction. Such authorization and the receiving Trading Partner's rights survive termination of the transmitting Customer's Agreement, Order Form, or SOW. Ownership of Trading Partner Data as between the transmitting and receiving Customers is not affected by this Section 2.3; each Customer retains ownership of the Customer Content it originates. A Transaction Record is not owned by either Customer. As between the parties, iTradeNetwork owns the matching, workflow, status, and derivative data elements it generates in creating a Transaction Record, which constitutes Enhanced Data under this Agreement. Ownership of the underlying Trading Partner Data reflected within a Transaction Record is unaffected and remains with the originating Customer as provided in this Section 2.3.

2.4Access and Use. To the extent that any access is granted hereunder, any such access shall be non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited access to utilize the Solution or Site solely for the purposes of and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the applicable Order and/or SOW as well as applicable laws and regulations. Customer is solely responsible for Authorized User’s access to and use of the Solution or Site. Customer shall immediately notify iTradeNetwork of any known or suspected unauthorized access or use. For the avoidance of any uncertainty, upon the termination of this Agreement the right of access and use of any Solution, and to the extent applicable any related access grants, shall end. Authorized User seats cannot be shared by more than one (1) individual but may be assigned to new users who are replacing Authorized Users. The number of Authorized Users may be defined in an Order Form.

2.5iTradeNetwork Support. iTradeNetwork will provide its standard support to Customer and Customer’s Authorized Users of the iTradeNetwork Subscription Services subscribed by Customer under this Agreement. Such standard support terms and conditions may be found at the following location: https://www.itradenetwork.com/support/customer-support which may be updated from time to time. Project Maintenance (if applicable) is excluded from iTradeNetwork Support and if provided, will require a SOW.

2.6Ordinary Use; Suspension Rights. Customer’s access to and use of each Solution must be consistent with ordinary commercial use of that Solution for Customer’s internal business purposes as designed and intended by iTradeNetwork. Customer shall not access or use any Solution in volumes, patterns, or manners inconsistent with such ordinary use, including without limitation systematic or bulk retrieval of data, continuous or near-continuous querying, or access patterns consistent with data harvesting or competitive intelligence gathering. iTradeNetwork reserves the right to suspend Customer’s access to any Solution immediately upon written notice (which may be delivered by email) if iTradeNetwork reasonably determines that: (i) Customer’s use of a Solution exceeds ordinary use thresholds or is inconsistent with the foregoing ordinary use standard; (ii) Customer or any Authorized User has engaged in Automated Access without iTradeNetwork’s written authorization; (iii) Customer’s use creates a material security risk to iTradeNetwork, its systems, or other customers; or (iv) iTradeNetwork reasonably suspects a breach of items (5), (6), or (7) of Section 2.2. iTradeNetwork will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of suspension where practicable, but may act immediately where delay would increase harm to iTradeNetwork, its data, or other customers. In addition to iTradeNetwork’s termination rights under Section 5.2, iTradeNetwork may terminate this Agreement and all Order Forms or SOWs immediately upon written notice if Customer’s breach of items (5), (6), or (7) of Section 2.2: (a) is material; (b) demonstrates bad faith or an intent to circumvent contractual use restrictions; or (c) is repeated following written notice from iTradeNetwork.

3. Professional Services.

3.1 Subscription Services Implementation. iTradeNetwork will implement Subscription Services in accordance with the terms set forth in the applicable Order Form or SOW.

3.2 Additional Professional Services. From time to time Customer may request from iTradeNetwork additional Professional Services by providing iTradeNetwork with a reasonably detailed written scope of work. Customer has no obligation to request, and iTradeNetwork has no obligation to perform Professional Services. An iTradeNetwork project manager will schedule a time to discuss Customer’s request, and to begin assessing and scoping the Project with Customer. Following the initial meeting(s), iTradeNetwork will assess and scope the proposed engagement (each a “Project”), and then prepare a SOW that specifies, among other things: (1) scope (i.e., “what is being provided”), (2) contact information, (3) logistics, (4) work estimate, including milestones/deliverables, expected resource requirements and estimated time, (5) Customer resources and responsibilities, (6) deliverable schedule, and (7) fees. A separate SOW will be required for each Project. Neither Party is obligated to enter into nor sign a SOW. Each SOW will become part of this Agreement when signed by both Parties. Either Party may request to terminate a SOW upon thirty (30) days prior written notice. Any such termination shall be subject to a Change Request (“CR”) specifying the termination date and executed by the Parties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event Customer terminates a SOW, Customer shall be obligated to pay in full without deduction or offset all unbilled or unpaid fees incurred by iTradeNetwork for the Professional Services provided up to the date of termination plus any non-cancellable commitments that have been incurred by iTradeNetwork. On the termination date, iTradeNetwork will immediately cease performing the Professional Services. Any unbilled or unpaid fees set forth in an SOW shall be non-refundable and non-cancelable.

4. Fees and Payment Terms.

4.1 Fees. Customer shall pay iTradeNetwork the fees in US dollars in the amounts and on the terms set forth in the applicable Order Form and for each Project in the amounts and on the terms set forth in the applicable SOW.

4.2 Payment Terms. Except as otherwise specified in an Order Form or SOW, (i) Fees shall be due and payable net thirty (30) days from invoice date without deduction or offset; and (ii), iTradeNetwork invoices are paid on an annual basis in advance. Thereafter, each Renewal Term’s Annual Subscription Services and, if applicable, Annual Connector Fees will be invoiced annually at least thirty (30) days in advance of the Renewal Term Effective Date. All invoices and payments are non-refundable and non-cancellable. For avoidance of doubt, if Customer account is active with iTradeNetwork any day during the service period being billed, Customer will be charged for services for the entire period. Fees do not include taxes (if any), or out-of-pocket costs incurred by iTradeNetwork for materials, or pre-approved travel and living expenses, content, or other materials or charges from third parties on behalf of Customer. Customer will pay and bear the liability for any taxes associated with Subscription Services and/or Professional Services, including sales, use, excise and VAT, but excluding taxes on iTradeNetwork’s income, capital or gross receipts. Customer agrees to reimburse iTradeNetwork for any travel or living expenses incurred by iTradeNetwork within thirty (30) days from invoice date in accordance with the terms stated in applicable Order Form or SOW. At Customer’s request, iTradeNetwork will provide original receipts and documentation supporting such costs. Payments made after their due date will incur a daily simple interest from the original invoice due date at a rate equal to 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. Customer shall pay all such interest and reasonable costs of collection, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs. If Customer does not pay iTradeNetwork within fifteen (15) days after the due date of any invoice, iTradeNetwork may, with prior written notice at its sole discretion, in addition to pursuing any of its other remedies, either suspend Subscription Services and/or performance of the applicable Professional Services until all outstanding payments are made, or terminate the applicable Order Form or SOW, and/or this Agreement. No such suspension shall affect iTradeNetwork’s rights or Customer’s accrued obligations hereunder. iTradeNetwork may adjust its fees as a result of any changes to the parameters noted in the applicable Order Form.

5. Terms and Termination

5.1 Term. The term and termination of each Solution is set forth in the applicable Order Form.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section, neither Party receiving Confidential Information of the other may disclose it to any third party without the prior written consent of the original disclosing Party, except to the receiving Party’s own employees, consultants or agents to whom disclosure is necessary to fulfill the purposes set forth in this Agreement and who are advised about, and agree to be bound by, this confidentiality provision and the confidential nature of the information. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a representation that the receiving Party will not develop or acquire information that is the same as or similar to the other Party’s Confidential Information, provided that the receiving Party does not do so in breach of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that they may have in development similar solutions and that nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent either Party from independently developing, offering, supporting and providing similar solutions, provided it is done without use of or reference to the other Party’s Confidential Information.

9.3 Exceptions. This Agreement imposes no obligation on the receiving Party with respect to information that the receiving Party can establish: (a) was in the possession of or was known by the receiving Party prior to its receipt from the disclosing Party without an obligation to maintain its confidentiality; (b) is or becomes generally known to the public without violation of this Agreement; (c) is obtained by the receiving Party from a third party without an obligation to keep such information confidential; or (d) is independently developed or created by the receiving Party. If the receiving Party is compelled pursuant to a legal proceeding or otherwise required by law to disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information, then before any such disclosure the receiving Party will promptly notify the disclosing Party so the disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with this Agreement and the receiving Party shall use its best efforts to obtain confidential treatment for such Confidential Information. In any such legally compelled disclosure, only that portion of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed may be disclosed.

10. Agreements Between Customer and Trading Partners.

Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any existing service levels or agreements or their terms between Customer and any Trading Partner. iTradeNetwork accepts no responsibility for maintaining or enforcing any such service levels, agreements or terms between Customer and any Trading Partner.

Customer shall accept responsibility for the use of all Customer User IDs, passwords and/or security authentication measures by Authorized Users and shall restrict the disclosure and disbursement of such Customer User IDs, passwords and/or security authentication measures to Customer personnel on a need-to-know/have basis. Customer shall take all reasonable precautions to protect against the theft, loss or fraudulent use of such Customer User IDs, passwords and/or security authentication measures. Customer shall immediately notify iTradeNetwork of any suspected theft, loss or fraudulent use of such Customer User IDs, passwords and/or security authentication measures.

Customer shall not, and shall ensure that its Authorized Users do not, circumvent or attempt to circumvent any security, authentication, rate-limiting, or access-control measures stated in this Agreement or implemented by iTradeNetwork in connection with any Solution.

11.5 In respect of its use of any iTradeNetwork Solution where access is provided to the iTradeNetwork Site, Customer shall be solely responsible for maintaining adequate controls over its processing and data transmissions; for monitoring the input and output of such processing and transmissions; and for notifying iTradeNetwork of any non-conforming processing and/or transmissions. Customer acknowledges and agrees that iTradeNetwork is not responsible for checking, verifying or editing message content or completeness or for detecting errors or anomalies, or for recreating or re-transmitting data beyond iTradeNetwork’s obligations as set forth herein.

11.6 UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE WILL CUSTOMER BE PERMITTED TO CONDUCT ANY VULNERABILITY SCANS OR PENETRATION TESTING AGAINST ITRADENETWORK’S PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT.

11.7 SSAE 18 Compliance. iTradeNetwork agrees that during the term of this Agreement that it will be SSAE 18 compliant. For the purposes of this Agreement, SSAE 18 compliance shall mean iTradeNetwork will obtain an attestation via an SSAE 18 Soc 2 Type 2 Report reporting on the design of controls and their operating effectiveness related to the iTradeNetwork on-demand collaborative workflow software for the retail and foodservice industries. Upon the request of Customer and at least ten (10) business days’ written notice, but not more than once per year, iTradeNetwork will provide to Customer a copy of its most recent SSAE18 Report.

12.7 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for failure to perform or delay in performing any obligation under this Agreement (except any payment obligations) if such failure or delay is due to acts of God, natural disaster, fire, flood, strike, war (declared or undeclared), terrorism, embargo, blockade, legal prohibition, governmental action, riot, insurrection, or non-iTradeNetwork-specific network or telecommunications failure or congestion that affects a Solution, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party.

The rights granted to a Trading Partner under Section 2.3 to access, use, and retain Trading Partner Data and Transaction Record are authorizations and licenses granted by the transmitting Customer and administered by iTradeNetwork, and do not confer upon any Trading Partner any status as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, nor any right to enforce any provision of this Agreement against iTradeNetwork or Customer.
