Access to or use of some or all of the Services may be prevented, interrupted, or otherwise blocked by firewalls, cyber-security software, internet accessibility settings or other features, functionalities, incompatibilities, or configurations on Customer’s systems or Equipment or other third-party systems not under Highgate’s control, and Highgate has no responsibility to any party with respect thereto.2.2 Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that: (i) it has the full power and authority (corporate or otherwise) required to enter into the Customer Agreement and to carry out its obligations thereunder; (ii) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization; (iii) when executed and delivered by both Parties, the Customer Agreement will constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms; and (iv) it is in compliance with, and shall perform its obligations under the Customer Agreement and the Terms, and in the case of Highgate, the Services, in compliance with all applicable laws.2.3 Either Party may terminate, upon written notice to the other Party, the Customer Agreement if such other Party materially breaches the Customer Agreement or Terms and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of the notifying Party’s intention to terminate.2.4 Payment for amounts indicated on any invoice issued by Highgate are due within thirty (30) days after the date of such invoice. Fees are based on Services purchased according to the Customer Agreement.

All amounts payable to Highgate will be made without setoff or counterclaim and without any deduction or withholding. Customer shall pay all charges and applicable sales tax to Highgate by pre-approved credit card or ACH debits. Customer will be responsible for any associated payment processing fees.

Upon delivery of such written dispute notice, the Parties will cooperate and negotiate in good faith and use reasonable efforts to resolve such disputed charges.2.6 Customer will have no obligation or responsibility to pay any taxes or amounts (including interest, penalties, and fines) that are based upon the net income of Highgate. Should, in Highgate’s opinion, taxes or other government-related fees, including, sales tax, use tax, and VAT with respect to any Services, be required, Highgate may indicate such on an invoice to be paid by Customer.2.7 Highgate reserves the right to suspend or terminate Customer’s access to or use of the Services in the event any invoice remains unpaid when due.2.8 Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Services depend on data or services made available and provided by third parties, including but not limited to Salesforce, and Highgate is not responsible for the quality, accuracy, or availability of such third-party data or services. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that Highgate requires access to Customer’s data from Salesforce (the “Customer Data”) to provide the Services.

Proprietary Information of Highgate includes non-public information regarding pricing, features, functionality and performance of the Services. Proprietary Information of Customer includes any nonpublic information regarding sales data and activities, and other nonpublic information pertaining to its business operations and strategies provided by Customer to Highgate to enable the provision of the Services (including but not limited to Customer Data).

The Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any information that the Receiving Party can document (a) is or becomes generally available to the public through no fault of the Receiving Party, or (b) was rightfully in its possession or known by it without restriction on use or disclosure prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party, or (c) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party who is not under any obligation to the Disclosing Party to maintain the confidentiality of such information, or (d) was independently developed without use of or reference to any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party or (e) is required to be disclosed by law or court order (but in such case, such disclosed information remains subject to the terms of this Section for all other purposes). If the Receiving Party becomes legally compelled to disclose any Proprietary Information, the Receiving Party shall provide: (1) to the extent permitted under the law, prompt written notice of such requirement so that the Disclosing Party may seek, at its sole cost and expense, a protective order or other remedy; and (2) reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's sole cost and expense, in opposing such disclosure or seeking a protective order or other limitations on disclosure. If, after providing such notice and assistance as required herein, the Receiving Party remains required by law to disclose any Proprietary Information, the Receiving Party shall disclose no more than that portion of the Proprietary Information which, on the advice of the Receiving Party's legal counsel, the Receiving Party is legally required to disclose and, upon the Disclosing Party's request, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances from the applicable court or agency that such Proprietary Information will be afforded confidential treatment. The confidentiality obligations of this Section shall have priority over those in any separate written confidentiality agreement signed by the Parties. The existence of a Customer Agreement between the Parties shall not be deemed Proprietary Information but the terms of such Customer Agreement shall be deemed Proprietary Information.

In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to the Terms or your Customer Agreement (each, a “Dispute”), either party may elect to finally and exclusively resolve the dispute by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”).

ARBITRATION IS DIFFERENT FROM COURT, AND DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS MAY ALSO BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in New York County, New York. The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent Highgate from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect Highgate’s proprietary interests.
You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS CUSTOMER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
