6. Updates, Support, Maintenance.
We may update the Platform from time to time as we determine in our sole discretion.

However, we reserve the right to perform unscheduled maintenance at any time as needed to respond to urgent or critical service issues.
7. Price and Payment.
(a) Fees. In consideration for the provision of access to and use of the Platform, you agree to pay to us all applicable fees that we may charge in accordance with our pricing schedules in effect from time to time. We may offer a limited free trial period for access to the Platform, after which time fees will be charged through the payment method you provide. You may terminate this Agreement at any time during such trial period to avoid the obligation to pay fees.

Interest will accrue on overdue amounts at the rate of 1.5% per month, or the greatest amount permitted by law, whichever is less. All amounts are due and must be paid in US Dollars.
(c) Automatic Renewal. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, your account to access and use the Services will automatically renew for subsequent periods as communicated to you during the setup process. If the number of Members associated with your Company account increases (by being added by the account administrator), you agree to pay the corresponding increased fees for such additional Members upon renewal.
(d) Taxes. The amounts specified in any Order do not include any taxes, levies, duties, or similar charges assessed against or payable in connection with these Terms (“Taxes”). You agree to be responsible for and pay all applicable Taxes. If you claim to be exempt from any Taxes, then you must deliver to us appropriate evidence of such tax exemption status.
(e) Refunds. Refunds are issued when a company administrator downgrades their company’s subscription plan. The downgrade subscription refund amount is calculated based on prorated amount of time remaining in the subscription plan and termination date. For subscription cancelation, the fees paid under these Terms are nonrefundable.
8. Your Responsibilities.
(a) You agree that you are solely responsible for: (i) the provision of your own reliable, high speed internet connectivity to and from the Platform; (ii) your own equipment, including but not limited to administrator and end user workstations, mobile devices and compatible web browsers; and (iii) all activities of Members conducted under their logins, and for their compliance with these Terms (collectively, “Your Responsibilities”).
(b) You acknowledge and agree that: (i) Your Responsibilities may change from time to time in conjunction with changes to the Platform; and (ii) your failure to comply with this provision may mean that you are unable to access or use the Platform, and we will have no liability in such situations.

(a) As between you and us, you will own all right, title and interest in and to the Content, including all Intellectual Property Rights contained in, associated with or embodied in the Content.
(b) You hereby grant to us a worldwide, fully-paid, royalty-free, sub-licensable, transferrable and perpetual license to (i) enable and configure the Platform to copy, distribute, display, publicly perform, and modify the Content by means of the Platform, (ii) create backup and archival copies of the Content, and (iii) otherwise perform our obligations under these Terms.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the grant of rights in the preceding subsection, you acknowledge and agree that we will use the Content to provide services to you whereby you are connected with Opportunity Responders and/or Opportunity Creators (as the context may require). You acknowledge and agree that your Content will be visible by other Companies and their Members. You hereby consent to the use and disclosure of your Content as set forth in these Terms.
(d) You warrant and represent to us that you have, as necessary, obtained and will at all time during the time that these Terms are in effect, maintain all necessary licenses and permissions from third party holders of Intellectual Property Rights in the Content to grant to us the licenses set forth in this section, including, without limitation, the necessary third party licenses to copy, distribute, display, publicly perform and modify the Content via the various features and functionalities of the Platform for purposes of marketing, advertising and promoting your business and services. You agree to promptly notify us in writing in the event any of your warranties or representations set forth in this subsection becomes no longer true or accurate.
(e) You acknowledge and agree that you will not use the Platform to infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate any third party Intellectual Property Rights. You represent and warrant to us that all Content and any and all elements thereof, do not and will not infringe upon any third party Intellectual Property Rights, and that the Content does not and will not contain any subject matter that is defamatory, obscene or which would otherwise subject us to liability to any third party.
(f) We may, at any time and without prior notice to you, and without liability to you, remove, delete, or disable access to any Content we believe to be inaccurate, or that may infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate the Intellectual Property Rights of a third party.
(g) You acknowledge that we may collect information from third party sources to initially populate your Profile. You agree that during the registration process, you will review your Profile information and other Content associated with your Company appearing on the Platform and will promptly correct any inaccuracies appearing therein.

(h) At all times, you bear the full risk of loss of any Content resulting from your or your Members’ conduct. You and we agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to establish connectivity between our respective systems using security methods and protocols that would not be expected to be readily disabled or circumvented without the application of professional tools not readily or commercially available to consumers, or to implement technology which you and we agree is comparable to the aforementioned. You will otherwise be solely responsible for undertaking measures to prevent any loss or damage to Content, and maintain independent archival and backup copies of all Content. We will have the right, but not the obligation, to create and maintain archival or backup copies of all Content. You expressly agree that you will not use, nor rely upon the Platform, for backup storage of Content, and that except as expressly provided in these Terms, we will have no liability for any loss or damage to any Content.
(i) We may use Content, when de-identified and compiled and aggregated with other data we collect, to provide information services to others with respect to industry trends, benchmarks, performance and other general industry-specific and industry wide data. You hereby grant us the perpetual, unlimited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid right to do so.
10. Usage Data.
You hereby grant to us a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid license to collect, copy, display, distribute and modify information arising from your use of the Platform, without restriction or remuneration.

(c) WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS YOU ENTER INTO (FOR EXAMPLE AS OPPORTUNITY CREATOR OR OPPORTUNITY PARTNER) ARE AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND ARE SUBJECT TO THE ARRANGEMENTS OR AGREEMENTS THAT YOU ENTER INTO WITH THE RELEVANT OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES. WE PROVIDE THE PLATFORM MERELY AS A CONDUIT FOR THE EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION TO ENABLE AND FACILITATE THE ENTERING INTO OF BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS BETWEEN INDEPENDENT PARTIES. WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES OR REPRESENTATIONS, AND HEREBY DISCLAIM THE SAME, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING THE GOODS AND SERVICES OF PARTIES WITH WHOM YOU MAY ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT AFTER HAVING BEEN CONNECTED BY MEANS OF THE PLATFORM.
12. Confidentiality.
(a) Each party will protect the other’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access or disclosure in the same manner as each protects its own Confidential Information, but with no less than reasonable care. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in accordance with these Terms, each party may use each other’s Confidential Information solely to exercise its respective rights and perform its respective obligations under these Terms and may disclose such Confidential Information (i) solely to the employees and/or non-employee service providers and contractors who have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound by terms of confidentiality intended to prevent the misuse of such Confidential Information; (ii) as necessary to comply with an order or subpoena of any administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) as reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law or regulation. The provisions of this section will control over any non-disclosure agreement by and between the parties and such agreement shall have no further force or effect with respect to the exchange of Confidential Information after the acceptance of these Terms. For purposes of clarity, any exchange of Confidential Information prior to the acceptance of these Terms shall continue to be governed by such non-disclosure agreement.
(b) The obligations of this section will not apply to the extent that Confidential Information (i) was already known to the receiving party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party; (ii) was or is obtained by the receiving party from a third party not known by the receiving party to be under an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information; (iii) is or becomes generally available to the public other than by violation of these Terms or another valid agreement between the parties; or (iv) was or is independently developed by the receiving party without the use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information.

(a) Our Obligations.
(i) Except as otherwise provided in this section, we will defend you against any claim, action or proceeding brought against you by a third party that is not another Company or Member (for purposes of this section, a “Third Party”) based upon a substantive allegation that the Platform, used in accordance with these Terms, infringes a patent, copyright or trade secret right of a Third Party (a “P2P Global-Covered Claim”), and indemnify you against, and hold you harmless from, costs and damages finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction against you, or that we agree to in settlement, that are directly attributable to such P2P Global-Covered Claim, provided that: (A) you deliver to us written notice of the P2P Global-Covered Claim and any actions taken in connection therewith promptly after you first receive notice thereof (and in any event before any of our rights or ability to defend or settle are prejudiced), (B) you grant to us the sole authority to assume the defense thereof, and the sole right to settle the P2P Global-Covered Claim, through counsel of our choice, (C) you reasonably cooperate with us in connection with the P2P Global-Covered Claim, its defense and/or settlement, and (D) you do not make any admission prejudicial to our interests with respect to the P2P Global-Covered Claim.
(ii) We will have no obligations or liability attributable to any P2P Global-Covered Claim arising from or related to: (A) your use of the Platform in a manner not permitted by these Terms, or (B) the modification of any portion of the Platform by any person other than us.
(iii) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF THESE TERMS TO THE CONTRARY, THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION CONSTITUTE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND OUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT, TRADE SECRET, OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT OF ANY PERSON.
(b) Your Obligations.
You will indemnify and defend us (including our officers, agents and employees, collectively the “P2P Global Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all settlements, judgments, awards, fines, penalties, interest, liabilities, losses, costs, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements and court costs) sustained or incurred by any of the P2P Global Indemnified Parties, based upon, relating to or arising from (i) any claims, actions, suits, proceedings, or investigations, regardless of whether suit is failed, alleging that any Content or any use of Content misappropriates, infringes or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property Right, right under contract, or other right of any other person, (ii) any breach by you of any provision of these Terms, including but not limited to any warranty or representation set forth in these Terms, (iii) any actual or alleged violation of applicable law by you, and (iv) any claim arising from your business arrangement, provision or receipt of goods or services, or other dealing with any other Company or Member of the Platform, including but not limited to violation of any In-Platform Terms.
15. Limitation of Liability.
(a) OUR MAXIMUM LIABILITY (INCLUDING OUR AGENTS, DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS) TO YOU FOR DAMAGES FOR ANY AND ALL CAUSES WHATSOEVER, AND YOUR MAXIMUM REMEDY, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE LIMITED TO AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE FEES PAID IN THE SIX MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM. IN NO EVENT WILL WE (OR OUR AGENTS, DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS) BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST DATA OR CONTENT, LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ACCESS OR USE OF THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WITHOUT THESE DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, THE COST OF ACCESS TO THE PLATFORM WOULD BE GREATER.
(b) The provisions of these Terms allocate the risks between you and us. The fees payable by you reflect this allocation of risk, as expressed by the limited warranties, remedies and limitations of liability set out in these Terms.
16. Feedback.
You may provide, or we may request, input regarding the Platform, including, without limitation, comments or suggestions regarding the possible creation, modification, correction, improvement or enhancement of a portion of the Platform or another one of our sites, services or products (collectively “Feedback”).

We will be entitled to use Feedback for any purpose without restriction or remuneration of any kind.
17. General.
(a) Governing Law. These Terms will be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Ohio as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Ohio between Ohio residents, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
(b) Compliance With Laws. Each party will comply with all federal, state and local laws and regulations applicable to it (“Laws”). If, while these Terms are in effect, any Law becomes effective that substantially and materially alters the ability or cost of either party to perform its obligations under these Terms in whole or part, the parties will renegotiate the provisions of these Terms to the extent necessary to reflect the effect of such Law. If renegotiations do not result in terms agreeable to both parties, the party that would bear the altered cost due to the change in the Law will have the right to terminate these Terms without penalty upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party.
(c) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as specifically identified in these Terms, nothing in these Terms is intended to confer upon any person other than the parties and their respective successors or permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities whatsoever. For purposes of clarity, other Companies and Members of the Platform are not intended third party beneficiaries of these Terms.
(d) Relation of the Parties. The parties agree that each is acting as an independent contractor and under no circumstances will any of the employees of one party be deemed the employees of the other for any purpose. Except as otherwise expressly agreed by the parties, these Terms will not be construed as authority for either party to act for the other party in any agency or other capacity, or to make commitments of any kind for the account of or on behalf of the other. Nothing in these Terms will be deemed to constitute a joint venture or partnership between the parties.
(e) Assignment. You may not assign your rights or delegate your obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights under these Terms. Any purported assignment in violation of this section will be void.
(f) Dispute Resolution.
(i) Arbitration. Any dispute arising under these terms will be subject to binding arbitration by a single arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association (AAA), in accordance with its relevant industry rules, if any. The arbitration will be held in Cleveland , Ohio. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant injunctive relief and specific performance to enforce these Terms. Judgment on any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(ii) Informal Preliminary Dispute Resolution. The parties agree that in the event of a dispute between them, prior to seeking relief through arbitration, they will promptly meet and confer (telephone communications sufficient) in an effort to resolve such dispute through good faith consultation and negotiation. In the event the parties are unable to resolve such dispute within 30 days after the initial meeting and conference, either party may then commence legal proceedings as provided above in this section.
(iii) Injunctive Relief. Nothing in this section, however, requiring informal dispute resolution prior to instituting legal proceedings will prohibit either party from seeking injunctive relief in situations where such proceedings may be appropriate, including but not limited to threatened or actual infringement of Intellectual Property Rights or misuse or disclosure of proprietary or confidential information.
(g) No Waiver. The failure of either party to exercise any right or the waiver by either party of any breach, shall not prevent a subsequent exercise of such right or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same of any other provision of these Terms. All waivers must be in writing, and signed by the party waiving its rights.
(h) Notices. All notices or other communications that are required or permitted under these Terms must be in writing and will be sufficient if sent through means of communications between the parties via the Platform.
(i) Captions and Headings. The captions and headings of clauses contained in these Terms preceding the text of articles, sections, subsections and paragraphs are inserted solely for convenience and ease of reference only and shall not constitute any part of these Terms, or have any effect on its interpretation or construction.
(j) Severability. If any court of competent jurisdiction finds any portion of any provision of these Terms to be unenforceable or contrary to applicable law, the parties agree that the provision will be deemed modified to the least extent necessary to make it enforceable, and all other provisions of these Terms will remain unaffected.
(k) Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to their subject matter, and supersede all other agreements, proposals, negotiations, representations or communications relating to the subject matter. Both parties acknowledge that they have not been induced to agree to these Terms by any representations or promises not specifically stated in these Terms. The protections of these Terms will apply to actions of the parties performed in preparation for and anticipation of the execution of these Terms. Any amendment to these Terms must be in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties.
