3. FEES; PAYMENT TERMS

3.1  Fees. Customer agrees to pay CarNow for the Services provided and expenses incurred on the basis and at the rates specified in each Sales Order. Unless otherwise set forth on the Sales Order, payment shall be due within thirty (30) days after receipt of CarNow’s invoice and shall be made in US Dollars.

If Customer disputes any charge or amount on any invoice and such dispute cannot be resolved promptly through good faith discussions between the Parties, Customer shall pay the amounts due under this Agreement less the disputed amount, and the Parties shall diligently proceed to resolve such disputed amount. An amount will be considered disputed in good faith if (i) Customer delivers a written statement to CarNow on or before the due date of the invoice, describing in detail the basis of the dispute and the amount being withheld by Customer, (ii) such written statement represents that the amount in dispute has been determined after due investigation of the facts and that such disputed amount has been determined in good faith, and (iii) all other amounts due from Customer that are not in dispute have been paid as and when required under this Agreement.

Customer shall be responsible for the payment of all sales, use and similar taxes arising from or relating to the Services rendered, except for taxes related to the net income of CarNow and any taxes or obligations imposed upon CarNow under federal, state and local wage laws.

4.  CONFIDENTIALITY

4.1  Confidential Information. During the term of this Agreement, each Party will regard any information provided to it by the other Party and designated in writing as proprietary or confidential to be confidential (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall also include information which, to a reasonable person familiar with the disclosing Party’s business and the industry in which it operates, is of a confidential or proprietary nature. The receiving Party shall hold in confidence, and shall not disclose (or permit or suffer its personnel to disclose) any Confidential Information to any person or entity except to a director, officer, employee, outside consultant, or advisor (collectively “Representatives”) who have a need to know such Confidential Information in the course of the performance of their duties for the receiving Party and who are bound by a duty of confidentiality no less protective of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information than this Agreement. The receiving Party and its Representatives shall use such Confidential Information only for the purpose for which it was disclosed and shall not use or exploit such Confidential Information for its own benefit or the benefit of another without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party. Each Party accepts responsibility for the actions of its Representatives and shall protect the other Party’s Confidential Information in the same manner as it protects its own valuable confidential information, but in no event shall less than reasonable care be used. The Parties expressly agree that the terms and pricing of this Agreement are Confidential Information. A receiving Party shall promptly notify the disclosing Party upon becoming aware of a breach or threatened breach hereunder, and shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the disclosing Party in enforcing its rights.

4.2  Exclusions. Information will not be deemed Confidential Information hereunder if such information: (i) is known prior to receipt from the disclosing Party, without any obligation of confidentiality; (ii) becomes known to the receiving Party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; (iii) becomes publicly known or otherwise publicly available, except through a breach of this Agreement; or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party without use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. The receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information pursuant to the requirements of applicable law, legal process or government regulation, provided that it gives the disclosing Party reasonable prior written notice to permit the disclosing Party to contest such disclosure, and such disclosure is otherwise limited to the required disclosure.

4.3  Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, both Parties acknowledge that any use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement may cause the disclosing Party irreparable and immediate damage for which remedies other than injunctive relief may be inadequate. Therefore, both Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedy to which the disclosing Party may be entitled hereunder, at law or equity, the disclosing Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) to restrain such use in addition to other appropriate remedies available under applicable law.

5.  LIMITED WARRANTY

5.1  Subscription Service Warranty. CarNow warrants that during the term of any Sales Order for the Subscription Service, the Subscription Service will conform, in all material respects, with its Documentation. CarNow does not warrant that it will be able to correct all reported defects or that use of the Subscription Service will be uninterrupted or error free. CarNow makes no warranty regarding features or services provided by third parties. For any breach of the above warranty, CarNow will, at no additional cost to Customer, provide remedial services necessary to enable the Subscription Service to conform to the warranty. Customer will provide CarNow with a reasonable opportunity to remedy any breach and reasonable assistance in remedying any defects. The remedies set out in this subsection are Customer’s sole remedies for breach of the above warranty. Such warranty shall only apply if the Subscription Service has been utilized by Customer in accordance with the Sales Order and this Agreement.

5.2  Professional Services Warranty. CarNow warrants that any Professional Services provided hereunder shall be provided in a competent manner in accordance with any specifications set forth in the Sales Order, in all material respects. CarNow further warrants that any Work Product provided pursuant to any Professional Services engagement shall comply, in all material respects, with the specifications set forth in the applicable Sales Order. If the Services are not performed as warranted or the Work Product does not so comply, then, upon Customer’s written request, CarNow shall promptly re-perform, or cause to be re-performed, such Professional Services, at no additional charge to Customer. Such warranties and other obligations shall only survive for thirty (30) days following the completion of the Professional Services or the delivery of each applicable portion of the Work Product, as the case may be. Such re-performance shall be Customer’s exclusive remedy and CarNow’s sole liability for any such non-performance. If, however, after repeated efforts, CarNow is unable to remedy such defect in any Work Product, then Customer’s sole remedy and CarNow’s entire liability shall be to refund to Customer any amounts previously paid by Customer for the particular deficient Professional Services or Work Product.

5.3  No Other Warranty. CARNOW DOES NOT REPRESENT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ALL ERRORS IN THE SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED OR THAT THE OVERALL SYSTEM THAT MAKES THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE AVAILABLE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE INTERNET, OTHER TRANSMISSION NETWORKS, AND CUSTOMER’S LOCAL NETWORK AND EQUIPMENT) WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. THE WARRANTIES STATED IN SECTION 5 ABOVE ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES OFFERED BY CARNOW. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON- INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.

6.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

6.1  Consequential Damage Waiver. Except as may arise out of either Party’s breach of Section 4, neither Party will be liable to the other or any third party for loss of profits, or special, indirect, incidental, consequential or exemplary damages, including lost profits and costs, in connection with the performance of the Services, or the performance of any other obligations under this Agreement, even if it is aware of the possibility of the occurrence of such damages.

6.2  Limitation of Liability. Except as may arise out of CarNow’s breach of Section 4, the total cumulative liability of CarNow to Customer for any and all claims and damages under this Agreement, whether arising by statute, contract, tort or otherwise, will not exceed the fees paid by Customer to CarNow under the Sales Order for the Services which form the subject of the claim during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. The provisions of this Agreement allocate risks between the Parties. The pricing set forth in each Sales Order reflects this allocation of risk and the limitation of liability specified herein.

7.  TERM

7.1  Term. This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date as set forth above and will continue in effect until otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 7.2 below. The term of each Sales Order for the Subscription Service shall be set forth on the Sales Order. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the applicable Sales Order, each Sales Order shall automatically renew for additional terms of one (1) month each unless either Party notifies the other Party in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the then current expiration date that it has elected not to renew such Sales Order. CarNow reserves the right to change the rates, applicable charges and usage policies and to introduce new charges, for such Sales Order upon providing Customer written notice thereof (which notice may be provided by e-mail) at least 30 days prior to the then current renewal date of the Sales Order.

7.2  Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may terminate this Agreement or any Sales Order (i) immediately in the event of a material breach of this Agreement or any such Sales Order by the other Party that is not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof from the other Party, or (ii) immediately if the other Party ceases doing business or is the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing or (iii) at any time and for any reason upon no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other Party. Termination of a Sales Order shall not be deemed a termination of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement shall, however, terminate all outstanding Sales Orders. All rights and obligations of the Parties which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination or expiration will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement and each Sales Order.

7.3  Effect of Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement or any applicable Sales Order, CarNow shall no longer provide the applicable Services to Customer and Customer shall cease and cause its Users to cease using the Services. Except as expressly provided herein, termination of this Agreement by either Party will be a nonexclusive remedy for breach and will be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of such Party. Upon termination of this Agreement, each Party shall promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other Party in its possession.

9.1  CarNow Indemnification. Subject to Section 3 below, CarNow will indemnify, defend and hold Customer harmless from and against any and all costs, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred arising out of or in connection with a claim, suit, action, or proceeding brought by any third party against Customer alleging that the use of the Services or Work Product as permitted hereunder infringes any United States copyright or trademark, or constitutes a misappropriation of a trade secret of a third party. Excluded from the above indemnification obligations are claims to the extent arising from (a) use of the Services or Work Product in violation of this Agreement or applicable law, (b) use of the Services or Work Product after CarNow notifies Customer to discontinue use because of an infringement claim, (c) any claim relating to any third party products or services or Customer Content, (d) modifications to the Services or Work Product made other than by CarNow (where the claim would not have arisen but for such modification), (e) the combination, operation, or use of the Work Product with software or equipment which was not provided by CarNow, to the extent that Customer’s liability for such claim would have been avoided in the absence of such combination, operation, or use; (f) the use of any third party content ot materials or (g) compliance by CarNow with Customer’s custom requirements or specifications if and to the extent such compliance with Customer’s custom requirements or specifications resulted in the infringement. If the Services or Work Product are held to infringe, CarNow will, at its own expense, in its sole discretion use commercially reasonable efforts either (a) to procure a license that will protect Customer against such claim without cost to Customer; (b) to replace the Services or Work Product with non-infringing Services or Work Product; or (c) if (a) and (b) are not commercially feasible, terminate the Agreement or the applicable Sales Order and refund to the Customer any prepaid unused fees paid to CarNow for the infringing Services or Work Product. The rights and remedies granted Customer under this Section 9.1 state CarNow’s entire liability, and Customer’s exclusive remedy, with respect to any claim of infringement of the intellectual property rights of a third party, whether arising under statutory or common law or otherwise.

9.2  Customer Indemnification. Subject to Section 9.3 below, Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold CarNow harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from a claim, suit, action, or proceeding brought by any third party against CarNow that arises out of or results from a claim (i) alleging that the Customer Content, or any use thereof, infringes the intellectual property rights or proprietary rights of others, or has caused harm to a third party, or (ii) arising out of Customer’s use of the Subscription Service, any breach by Customer of Section 8.2 above or any violation by Customer of any applicable law.

9.3  Indemnification Procedure. The indemnified Party shall (i) promptly notify the indemnifying Party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying Party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby, and (ii) allow the indemnifying Party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement; provided that the indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim without the indemnified Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The indemnified Party shall also provide the indemnifying Party with reasonable cooperation and assistance in defending such claim (at the indemnifying Party’s cost).

Exhibit A

SUBSCRIPTION SERVICETERMS OF USE

These Terms of Use for the Subscription Service (these “Terms of Use”) establishes the terms and conditions under which CarNow will provide the Subscription Service (as defined below) to Customer. These Terms of Use are an exhibit to the CarNow Master Subscription Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) and are incorporated by reference into and made a part of such Agreement. The Subscription Service shall constitute one of the Services provided by CarNow under the Agreement to the extent purchased by Customer. With respect to the provision of Subscription Service, any conflict between the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms of Use and the Agreement shall be controlled by the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms of Use.

A.   Subscription Service.

Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use and the Agreement, CarNow will provide Customer with access to the Subscription Service during the term set forth on the applicable Sales Order. A high speed Internet connection is required for proper access to the Subscription Service. Customer is responsible for procuring and maintaining the network connections that connect the Customer network to the Subscription Service. CarNow assumes no responsibility for the reliability or performance of any connections as described in this Section. Customer shall not attempt to access any other of CarNow’s systems, programs or data that are not made available for public use in connection with the Subscription Service. In connection with its use of the Subscription Service, Customer shall be entitled to access and use only those modules and software applications of the Subscription Service that are expressly listed on a Sales Order.
