SALESSTREAMLINER does not warrant any such third-party providers or any of their products or services, whether or not such products or services are designated by SALESSTREAMLINER as “certified,” “validated” or otherwise. Any exchange of data or other interaction between Customer and a third-party provider, and any purchase by Customer of any product or service offered by such third-party provider, is solely between Customer and such third-party provider.
- Fees & Payment.
4.1. User Fees. Customer shall pay all fees specified in all executed Order Forms hereunder. Except as otherwise provided, all fees are quoted in United States dollars. Fees are based on the number of User subscriptions purchased in the relevant Order Form, not the extent of actual usage. Except as otherwise provided, fees are non-refundable, and the number of subscriptions purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant Subscription Term stated on the Order Form.
4.2. Invoicing & Payment. License fees for the term of the Service will be invoiced in accordance with the terms set forth in the relevant Order Form. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, charges are due net 30 days from the invoice date. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, all payments made under this Agreement shall be in United States dollars. Invoices submitted via email should be sent in individual attachments (one invoice per attachment) in either PDF or TIFF formats to an email address provided by the Customer.
4.3. Overdue Payments. Any payment not received from Customer by the due date may accrue (except with respect to charges then under reasonable and good faith dispute), at SALESSTREAMLINER’ discretion, late charges at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid.
4.4. Verification. Customer is responsible for monitoring its use of the Service to which Customer has subscribed. Customer shall promptly report to SALESSTREAMLINER any suspected or actual use in excess of the authorized license quantity. SALESSTREAMLINER shall, at its sole option, be permitted to monitor the usage of any Service to ensure compliance with Customer’s authorized license level. In the event SALESSTREAMLINER becomes aware that Customer has used the Service in excess of the license quantity stated in the Order Form, SALESSTREAMLINER may immediately invoice and Customer shall pay such underpaid fees for such excess usage based on the applicable fees set forth in the Order Form, and Customer shall execute an additional Order Form to document the required purchase of any additional quantities or levels. Such fees shall accrue from the date the excess use began. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer shall not be entitled to claim any reduction of the fees payable under the Order Form or reduce the Usage Metric during the Subscription Term or Renewal Term of an Order Form.
4.5. Suspension of Service. If Customer’s account is 30 days or more overdue (except with respect to charges then under reasonable and good faith dispute), in addition to any of its other rights or remedies, SALESSTREAMLINER reserves the right to suspend the Service provided to Customer, without liability to Customer, until such amounts are paid in full.
4.6. Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, SALESSTREAMLINER’ fees do not include any local, state, federal or foreign taxes, levies or duties of any nature (“Taxes“). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes, excluding only taxes based on SALESSTREAMLINER’ income. If SALESSTREAMLINER has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer unless Customer provides SALESSTREAMLINER with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

6.3. Protection. Each party agrees to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other party in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential information of like kind, but in no event shall either party exercise less than reasonable care in protecting such Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall, except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees, contractors and agents who need such access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent than those herein for the protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for any use or disclosure of Confidential Information by any of its, and its affiliates, employees, contractors and/or agents.
6.4. Compelled Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it shall provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.
6.5. Remedies. If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of this Section 6, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the parties that any other available remedies are inadequate.

EXHIBIT A: SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT (“SLA”)
- Availability: SALESSTREAMLINER warrants the Service will generally be available 98% of the time, except as provided below. General availability will be calculated per calendar quarter, as follows:
[(total – nonexcluded – excluded) *100] > 98%
total – excluded
Where:
- total means the total number of minutes for the quarter
- nonexcluded means downtime that is not excluded
- excluded means the following:
– Any planned downtime.
– Any period of unavailability lasting less than 15 minutes.
– Any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond SALESSTREAMLINER reasonable control, without limitation, acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems (other than those involving SALESSTREAMLINER employees), computer, telecommunications, Internet service provider or hosting facility failures or delays involving hardware, software or power systems not within SALESSTREAMLINER possession or reasonable control, and network intrusions or denial of service attacks.
For any partial calendar quarter during which Customer subscribes to the Service, general availability will be calculated based on the entire calendar quarter, not just the portion for which Customer subscribed. In addition, unavailability for some specific features or functions within the Service, while others remain available, will not constitute unavailability of the Service, so long as the unavailable features or functions are not, in the aggregate, material to the Service as a whole.
- Penalties: Should SALESSTREAMLINER fail to meet 98% general availability of the Service for a calendar quarter, and this downtime significantly affected Customer’s ability to use the Service, Customer may continue to use the Service but will receive credit for one half day of its SALESSTREAMLINER subscription, in that quarter, for each two hours of general Service unavailability below 98%. Any such credit shall be applied to Customer’s next invoice (or refunded if there are no forthcoming invoices). The penalties specified in this “Penalties” section shall be the sole remedies available to Customer for breach of this SLA Exhibit.
- Reporting and Claims: To file a claim under this SLA Exhibit, Customer must send an email to support@salesstreamliner.com with the following details: (i) billing information, including company name, billing address, billing contact and billing contact phone number, (ii) Downtime information with dates and time periods for each instance of downtime during the relevant period, and (iii) an explanation of the claim made under this SLA Exhibit, including any relevant calculations.
Claims may only be made on a calendar quarter basis and must be submitted within 10 business days after the end of the relevant quarter, except for periods at the end of a subscription agreement that do not coincide with a calendar quarter, in which case Customer must make any claim within 10 business days after the end of its subscription agreement.
All claims will be verified against applicable system records. Should any periods of downtime submitted by Customer be disputed, SALESSTREAMLINER will provide to Customer a record of Service availability for the period in question. SALESSTREAMLINER will only provide records of system availability in response to good faith Customer claims.
- General: Any obligations of SALESSTREAMLINER under this SLA Exhibit shall become null and void upon any breach by Customer of its SALESSTREAMLINER subscription agreement, including any failure by Customer to meet payment obligations to SALESSTREAMLINER.
EXHIBIT B: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TERMS
- Applicability. The terms of this Exhibit B apply only to the extent that Customer and SALESSTREAMLINER execute a Statement of Work (“SOW”) for the provision of Professional Services to be provided by SALESSTREAMLINER for Customer.
- Professional Services.
2.1. Scope. SALESSTREAMLINER will provide such professional services as are specifically described in applicable SOW (“Professional Services”), and Customer will reasonably cooperate with SALESSTREAMLINER with regard to Professional Services.
- Fees & Payment Terms.
3.1. Payment. Customer will pay SALESSTREAMLINER the fees based on the terms specified in each SOW.
3.2. Other Expenses. Customer shall reimburse SALESSTREAMLINER for travel time and other expenses incurred in performance of Professional Services pursuant to the SALESSTREAMLINER travel policy, so long as Customer has previously approved the expense or range of expenses in question.
- Term and Termination.
4.1. Term. Each SOW will continue for the term set forth therein, if any.
4.2. Termination. Unless the SOW provides to the contrary, Customer may terminate an SOW for convenience upon 30 days’ written notice to SALESSTREAMLINER. Either party may terminate a SOW for the other’s material breach of such SOW, including of any related obligations set forth in this Exhibit B, on 30 days’ written notice, provided that if the other party cures the breach before expiration of such notice period, the SOW will not terminate.
4.3. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of an SOW: (1) if such SOW provides for an hourly or per unit fee, Customer will pay SALESSTREAMLINER such fee for the work performed up to the date of termination; and (2) if the SOW provides for a fixed fee, Customer will pay SALESSTREAMLINER the reasonable value of the Services received from SALESSTREAMLINER up to the termination date. Termination of a SOW for any reason, including without limitation breach, will not terminate any other SOW or this Exhibit B or this Agreement.
- Intellectual Property in Deliverables. SALESSTREAMLINER owns and retains ownership of all Deliverables, including without limitation preexisting software and other materials incorporated into Deliverables and new software and other materials created during Professional Services and incorporated into Deliverables. Customer receives no intellectual property rights to any Deliverable except to the extent that the applicable SOW provides a license thereto (e.g., with regard to client-side software). In the absence of such a license, Customer’s sole right with regard to Deliverables is to use them in conjunction with the Service during the applicable Subscription Term(s).
- Warranty.
6.1. Intellectual Property. SALESSTREAMLINER represents and warrants that, to the best of its knowledge as of the date of delivery, no Deliverable will infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third party. SALESSTREAMLINER’ sole responsibility and liability for breach of the warranty in the preceding sentence, and Customer’s sole remedy, shall be for SALESSTREAMLINER: (1) to substitute substantially functionally similar products or services for the infringing Deliverable; (2) to procure for Customer the right to continue using the Deliverable; or if neither of the foregoing is commercially practical in SALESSTREAMLINER’ reasonable judgment, (3) to terminate the SOW in question and refund to Customer 1/36th of the fees paid for the Deliverable for every month during which Customer is prevented from using it as a result of such infringement, during the first three years after delivery.
6.2. Professionalism & Function. SALESSTREAMLINER warrants that all Professional Services will be performed in a professional manner and materially in conformance with the SOW. SALESSTREAMLINER further warrants that Deliverables will conform to their specifications set forth in the SOW. Customer’s sole remedy and SALESSTREAMLINER’ sole liability and responsibility for breach of any warranty in this Section 6.2. of this Exhibit B shall be for SALESSTREAMLINER to re-perform the Professional Services in question, including creation of Deliverables, and Customer’s right to such remedy shall continue until 10 business days after delivery of the Professional Services or Deliverable in question.
- IP Indemnity. A claim, suit, or proceeding alleging that a Deliverable infringes third party intellectual property rights will be considered a Claim pursuant to Section 8.1 of this Agreement and thus subject to SALESSTREAMLINER’ indemnity and other obligations set forth and limited in Section 8.1.
- Relationship with the Service & the Agreement’s Main Body.
8.1. Service vs. Professional Services. Professional Services are not part of the Service (as that term is defined in Section 1 of this Agreement).
8.2. Construction. The provisions of the main body of the Agreement govern SOW’s and this Exhibit B. In the event of a conflict, the provisions of this Exhibit B will prevail over those of a SOW (and the provisions of the main body of this Agreement will prevail over those of this Exhibit B). Neither party’s acts or omissions related to Professional Services, to a SOW, or to this Exhibit B, including without limitation breach of an SOW or of this Exhibit B, will give the other party any rights or remedies not directly related to the SOW in question. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, SALESSTREAMLINER’ breach of a SOW or of this Exhibit B will not give Customer the right to terminate this Agreement, the right to a refund of fees paid for the Service or of other fees not paid pursuant to such SOW, or the right to damages, specific performance, rescission, restitution, or other contract remedies based on the parties’ transactions set forth anywhere in this Agreement other than in the applicable SOW, as well as in this Exhibit B to the extent applicable to such SOW. In addition to such other limits of liability as apply, including pursuant to Section 9.1 of this Agreement, SALESSTREAMLINER’ LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO A SOW SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE FEES PAID PURSUANT TO SUCH SOW. THE LIMIT OF LIABILTY IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 9.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT.
