PAYMENTS AND BILLING
1. Fees. In consideration for Company granting Customer access to and use of the Service, commencing on the Service Effective Date, Customer shall regularly pay Company within the Subscription Term, the subscription fees and, where applicable, fees charged for additional services of the Company (the “Fees”) according to the conditions of the corresponding Service Plan or as set forth in the relevant Order, without any offset or deduction. Customer shall make all payments hereunder in US dollars. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Fees are non-refundable, except as otherwise expressly stated in this Contract and/or in Company’s Return, Cancelation and Refund Policy incorporated herein by reference. Please note that there will be no refunds or credits for partial months of the use of the Service.
2. Trial Period. From time to time, Company may offer trials of the Service for a specified period of time without payment or at a reduced rate and in the scope defined by Company (each, a “Trial”). Please note, that certain features, functionality, or modules of the Service may not be available or restricted during the Trial. Customer may only use the Trial for: (i) internal testing, evaluation, or trial purposes, and (ii) for a specified period. Customer may not use the Service (including, but not limited to, during the Trial) if Customer directly or indirectly engages (or intends to engage) in any business that competes with Company or offers a similar software solution or services to the Service. Customer may not release to any third party the results of any evaluation of the Service during the Trial performed by or on behalf of Customer for purposes of monitoring its availability, performance, or functionality, or for any other benchmarking or competitive purposes without the prior written approval of Company. Additional Trial terms and conditions may appear on the Trial registration web page in the Service. Any such additional terms and conditions are incorporated into these Terms by reference and are legally binding. Customer must use the Trial within the scope and limits defined by Company. Company reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine the prospective Customer’s eligibility for a Trial, and, subject to applicable laws, to withdraw or to modify a Trial at any time without prior notice and with no liability, to the greatest extent permitted under law. Please note, that you may only use a Trial once.
If Customer registers or signs an Order Form for a Trial, Company will make the Service available under the Trial until the earlier of (a) the end of the Trial period, or (b) the date upon which aggregate use of the Trial exceeds any usage or quantity limitations imposed thereon, or (c) the start date of any paid subscription (i.e., the Service Effective Date) to a Service Plan purchased by you for the Service, or (d) termination by Company in its sole discretion. Additional Trial terms and conditions may appear on the Trial registration web page in the Service.
DURING A FREE TRIAL THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITH NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY AND COMPANY SHALL HAVE NO INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, OR ANY LIABILITY OF ANY TYPE WITH RESPECT TO A TRIAL AND/OR THE SERVICE, UNLESS SUCH EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY IS UNENFORCEABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW IN WHICH CASE, COMPANY’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE DURING THE TRIAL IS $1,000. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, CUSTOMER SHALL BE FULLY LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF ITS USE OF A FREE TRIAL. ANY CUSTOMER DATA AND CONFIGURATIONS ENTERED INTO CUSTOMER’S SERVICE ACCOUNT DURING THE TRIAL MAY BE PERMANENTLY LOST UPON TERMINATION / EXPIRATION OF THE TRIAL.
Upon or prior to the expiration of the Trial, Customer may select the Service Plan and purchase a paid subscription to the Service. If Customer does not subscribe to a Service Plan upon the expiration of the Trial, then Customer will cease access to the Service and Customer’s access to and right to use the Service will be automatically terminated, with or without notice. Customer acknowledges that Company reserves the right to delete Customer’s account created during the Trial (and any data contained therein) in its sole discretion, without notice or any further liability or obligation.
Company may modify or terminate the Trial at any time, for any reason, and any modification or termination will not be deemed a material, detrimental change.
3. Billing and Payment Methods. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Company and such other information necessary for the Company to charge the applicable Fees when due, and any other charges payable in connection with the Customer’s use of the Services. All fees are due and payable in advance on a monthly or annual basis (unless otherwise specified in the corresponding Order Form) throughout the Subscription Term. The payment method will be agreed upon by the Parties hereto. If Customer is paying by invoice, all amounts invoiced by Company are due and payable within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice, unless otherwise specified in the corresponding Order Form. Additionally, Company uses Stripe as its third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”). The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions, and policies of the Payment Processor in addition to these Terms. By choosing to use the online payment method, Customer agrees to pay Company, through the Payment Processor, all the applicable Fees for the use of the Service under the corresponding Service Plan. If Company (through the Payment Processor) does not receive the applicable payment from Customer, Customer agrees to pay all the outstanding amounts due within five (5) business days upon written notice. Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Company shall not be liable for any payments and monetary transactions that occur through the Customer’s use of the online payment method with a Payment Processor; Company is not responsible for error by the Payment Processor. Customer understands that the Payment Processor handles all payments and monetary transactions and Company has no control over the Payment Processor’s services. Customer acknowledges that the Payment processor may charge certain fees, such as foreign transaction fees or other fees relating to the processing of the Customer’s payment. Company reserves the right to change the Payment Processor at any time and at its sole discretion.
4. Billing Period. The applicable subscription Fees and any other charges Customer may incur in connection with its use of the Service, such as taxes and possible transaction fees, will be charged on the specific payment date indicated in the account in the Service, unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Parties in the corresponding Order Form. The length of the Customer’s Billing Period will depend on the type of the Service Plan (monthly or annual) chosen when Customer signed-up for the Service. In some cases, the payment date may change, for example if the Payment Method has not successfully settled on or before the Service Effective Date, or if the use of the Service on a paid subscription basis under the selected Service Plan began on a day not contained in a given month. Customer can see their next payment date in their account in the Service.
5. Fee Adjustments and Plan Modifications. Fees will remain fixed, as defined in the applicable then-current Order, unless: (i) Customer exceeds any limits (if any) of Service use specified in the applicable Order Form; (ii) Customer requests for any upgrades or additional features; or (iv) otherwise agreed to in Customer’s Order, which may be amended by mutual consent of both Parties. Upon renewal, Company may increase the Fees up to its then-current list price for the Service Plans. If this increase applies to you, we will notify you at least thirty (30) days in advance of your renewal, and the increased Fees will apply at the start of the next renewal of the Subscription Term. If the Customer does not agree to such an increase, Customer may choose to terminate the subscription to the Service at the end of the then-current Subscription Term by providing a prior written notice to Company.
If Customer elects to upgrade its then-current Service Plan during a Subscription Term, any incremental Fees associated with such upgrade will be prorated over the remaining then-current Billing Period and charged to Customer’s account (i.e., the upgrade of the Service Plan will take effect immediately, and the Fee associated with such upgrade for the remaining period will be charged; the Billing Period remains the same). Customer will be charged the adjusted rate reflecting such upgrade on subsequent Billing Periods.
Customer may downgrade their Service Plan for a subsequent Billing Period prior to the end of the then-current Billing Period (i.e., downgrade will take effect starting from the next Billing Period). Subsequently, Customer will be charged the adjusted rate on the next Billing Period. Please note that the downgrade of the Service Plan may cause a loss of content, features, or capacity of the Service as available to Customer, and Company is not responsible for such loss.
If Customer is using a legacy or custom Service Plan (which is not available anymore), Customer can switch to any of the current Service Plans at any time. Please note that you will not be able to switch back to the legacy plan once you’ve upgraded to any of the then-current Service Plans.
6. Late Payments. If Customer fails to make any payment when due, in addition to all other remedies that may be available: (i) Company may charge interest on the past due amount at the rate of 1.0% per month calculated daily and compounded monthly or, if lower, the highest rate permitted under applicable law; (ii) Customer shall reimburse Company for all costs incurred by Company in collecting any late payments or interest, including attorneys’ fees, court costs, and collection agency fees; and (iii) if such failure continues for more than ten (10) days of the due date, Company may suspend access to Service until all past due amounts and interest thereon have been paid, without incurring any obligation or liability to Customers, Authorized Users or any other Person by reason of such prohibition of access to Service. In addition, if a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, Company may suspend Customer’s access to the Service until the due amount was successfully received by the Company.
7. Taxes. All Fees and other amounts payable by Customer hereunder are exclusive of taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, other charges, domestic or foreign-imposed by any federal, state, or local tax authority with respect thereto including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for all Taxes of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder, other than any Taxes imposed on Company’s income or revenues. If Company has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this Section 5, Company will invoice Customer, and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides Company with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

PRIVACY AND DATA PRACTICES
1. For the purpose of delivering the Service and its functionality, the ongoing operation thereof, and/or for security purposes, Company collects, processes and stores certain data. Company respects the privacy and is committed to protecting any information shared with Company. Company will maintain commercially appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect Personal Data in its possession. Company’s policy and practices and the type of information processed are further described in Mobile Tailor Privacy Policy published on Company’s website, which is incorporated herein by reference.
2. Both Parties shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations pertaining to data security and privacy and shall collect data only in a lawful manner. Customer hereby represents and warrants that any data provided by or on behalf of Customer shall have been obtained and shall be provided or made available to Company in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including by obtaining all necessary consents (where applicable) from data subjects (including, but not limited to, Authorized Users and End-Users) whose data is provided or made available giving consent, as may be necessary to permit Company to provide the Service and perform its obligations as contemplated by these Terms. Customer shall retain ownership rights to all such data processed under the terms of this Contract, subject to a limited license granted to Company hereunder. Customer shall be solely responsible for obtaining all consents and authorizations as may be required by any applicable law, for the collection, storage and processing of such data by Company according to Customer’s instructions.
3. The Parties agree that Customer shall be deemed to be the “Data Controller”, and Company shall be deemed to be the “Data Processor”, as those terms are understood under the applicable data protection law. Where required under the applicable law, the Parties will execute a separate data processing agreement (incorporated herein by reference) governing such processing activities.
4. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Company may use “Sub-processors” (as this term understood under the applicable data protection law), who may access Personal Data, to provide certain functionality, secure and improve the Service. The names and locations of all current Sub-processors used for the processing of Personal Data within the Service are set forth in the Privacy Policy available on Company’s website.
5. Company may also collect Anonymized Data and use, store, analyze, and disclose such Anonymized Data to diagnose problems, improve the Service, other Company’s products or offerings, provide services, and to conduct product marketing, research and development activities. Customer understands and agrees that such Anonymized Data shall be owned by Company and Company shall not be restricted from using or disclosing such Anonymized Data in any way.
6. Company will maintain industry-standard physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect any data in its possession from loss, misuse, corruption, and unauthorized access or disclosure. Company hereby confirms that the appropriate security controls and technical safeguards shall be implemented into the Service to prevent contamination with a virus, worms, Trojan horses or any other contaminating elements; provided, however, that Company shall not be liable for such incidences or errors that are caused exclusively by the intervention or use of third parties, including Customer itself, or which derive from maintenance and support activities that were not performed by the Company. In case if Company considers that a security incident occurred and such incident caused any destruction, accidental loss or illegal modification or publication of the Service-related data, etc., it should promptly notify Customer. Company will provide Customer with the updated information about the status of the security incident until the problem has been resolved. The reports should include, at least, a description of the security incident, the measures adopted and the remediation plans.
SERVICE UPTIME COMMITMENT. SUPPORT SERVICES
1. Uptime Commitment. Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide 99.5% Actual Availability of the Service in a given calendar month during the Subscription Term (“Availability Guarantee”), as measured and monitored by Company. Actual Availability will be calculated on a monthly basis using the following formula:
[(X – Y) / X] * 100 = %
Where:
X = Scheduled Availability; and
Y = Unscheduled Downtime
Company will provide Customer with the information regarding the Actual Availability in real-time via a health check service available at customer’s request (for the historical uptime information). All availability calculations will be based on Company’s system records.
2. Service Credits. Subject to Sections 13.1 and 13.3, if and to the extent Company fails to meet the Availability Guarantee set forth in Section 13.1 Customer is entitled to a Service Credit as set forth below. Service Credits are Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any performance or availability issues for the Service under the Contract. Customer may not unilaterally offset the Fees for any performance or availability issues; they will be credited to Customer following Company’s verification of the Actual Availability for the month claimed. Service Credits are pro-rated based on the Actual Availability and duration of the Unscheduled Downtime:
Monthly Actual Availability PercentageService Credit
(% of the monthly Fee)< 99.5%10%< 99.0%15%
Customer must submit the claim and all required information by the end of the calendar month following the month in which such alleged Unscheduled Downtime occurred. Where the claim is confirmed, Company shall provide Customer with the Service Credit against the monthly Fee amounts owed to Company for the subsequent month following the month in which the Customer’s claim was filed. With respect to any failure of Company to meet the Availability Guarantee, this Section 13.2 states Company’s sole and entire liability to Customer and Customer’s sole remedy. Service Credits are not refunds and cannot be exchanged into a cash amount.
3. Excluded Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Unscheduled Downtime will be deemed to have occurred if the downtime: (i) is caused by factors outside of Company’s reasonable control and/or by any force-majeure events, including, without limitation, telecommunications provider-related problems or issues, Internet access or related problems occurring beyond the point in the network where Company maintains access and control over the Services; acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, national shortage of adequate power, or passage of law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo; (ii) results from any actions or inactions of Customer, Authorized Users or any third party (except for Company’s employees, agents, consultants and subcontractors), i.e., any misuse, improper use, alteration, or damage of the Service; (iii) results from the Customer’s equipment, network, service, software or other technology, or third party equipment, network, software or other technology (except for the equipment within Company’s direct control); (iv) occurs due to Scheduled Maintenance for which Company provides at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice; or (v) occurs during Company’s emergency maintenance that is necessary for purposes of maintaining the integrity or operation of the Services, regardless of the notice provided by Company (collectively, the “Excluded Time”).
4. Technical Support and Technical Assistance. Subject to Customer’s timely payment of the applicable Fees set forth in the Contract, Company will provide Customer with the support and maintenance services as described herein.
For the purposes of these Terms, “Technical Support Services” means Company’s support services to respond to and resolve Errors at no additional charge as set forth herein and may cover the following Service (core technology) Errors:
Company’s technology server not responding – meaning access or connection to the server or API is impossible or limited;
Integration issues – meaning integration script provided by Company (if applicable) has stopped working or the widget (where applicable) is not opening;
Updates and maintenance – technology upgrades and/or security updates.
For the sake of clarity, Technical Support Services do not cover the following matters: (A) technical implementation services and Company’s guidelines on: (i) specific solutions used, (ii) workarounds, (iii) Open Source Components and Third-Party Services (if used), (iv) software (technology) and/or API response misuse; (B) bugs: (i) caused by any Open Source Component (including any third-party libraries) and/or Third-Party Services vendors (outside of the scope of integration),(ii) caused by Customer and/or a third-party development team (vendor), (iii) caused by a domain, server and/or third-party service(s) misconfiguration, (iv) not related to the Service (core technology) and/or server response. Technical Support Services described herein will be provided by Company in accordance with Section 13.5 below.
“Technical Assistance Services” herein means Company’s services provided in connection with Customer’s requests for the following:
Any additional guidance or assistance on the technical use of the Service and/or Company’s API (where applicable);
Provision of the access by adding new Authorized Users to the admin panel (where applicable), including password reset for the existing Authorized Users;
Analytics and provision of the reporting data for the use of the Service (i.e., usage, customer pattern details, etc.);
Performing investigations and answering Customer’s questions on the Service performance (e.g., with respect to pattern discrepancies, parameters of the Service components like admin panel and widget, etc.)
Technical Assistance Services under this Section 13.4 are subject to the following limits, unless otherwise expressly agreed in the applicable Order Form with the Customer:
Two (2) hours per month.
Parties may agree to extra hours for the Technical Assistance Services over the limit for an additional fee. In this case, terms for such additional Technical Assistance Services and the applicable fees will be agreed upon by the Parties in the corresponding Order Form.
Any requests for the additional development services are not covered by the Technical Support Services and/or Technical Assistance Services. These requests are considered to be “Feature Requests” and may cover the following matters:
any additional development services that are not specified in the Contract or, where applicable, Master Professional Services Agreement (including the corresponding Statement of Work) executed by and between the Parties;
any additional, new, or extending to the existing functionality of the Service;
any new features in the widget (if applicable);
expanding the core technology response by adding any additional features.
Feature Requests are not subject to this Contract. If Customer provides a Feature Request, it will be covered by a separate agreement to be executed by and between the Parties.
5. Severity Levels. Response and Resolution Time. All the support requests are assigned a severity level based on the impact on the use of the Service, according to the chart below. Customer may determine the initial severity level when placing a request, however, severity levels may be changed and allocated at Company’s sole discretion after initial contact and assessment of the issue from Company providing the Customer is notified. All disputes regarding severity classification will be resolved by Company at its sole discretion. Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the support standards set forth in the chart below for the corresponding severity level. Response time shall be measured from the moment an issue is reported to Company by Customer and Company’s acknowledgment of the issue. The time for resolution begins when Company receives a documented report on the issue, defect or error and, if requested by Company, a listing of output or other information that may be reasonably requested by Company.
An Error is considered resolved when (i) the Error is fixed by Company; (ii) the source of the Error is determined to lie with a third party, Customer or Authorized User; or (iii) Customer does not respond to a Company’s request regarding the Error within three (3) consecutive business days after the Company’s request.
6. Communications and Error Reporting. All communications regarding the support and maintenance services indicated in this Section 13 should be directed to support@made-custom.com.
7. Remote Services. In order to assist in the analysis and resolution of an Error, Customer agrees to provide Company with access to Customer’s computers, network, or systems over the internet such that Company may install and use remote access software to collect and transmit to Company diagnostic, technical, usage, and related information, including information about Customer’s computers, systems, or network, relating to or derived from Customer’s use of the Service. Customer agrees that Company may collect, maintain, process, and use this information in the course of performing its obligations under the Contract.
8. Limitations. Company shall not be responsible for the provision of any maintenance and/or support services to the extent that issues arise due to Customer’s: (i) misuse, improper use, misconfiguration, damaging the Service; (ii) use of the Service with any hardware or software not recommended by Company; or (iii) other use of the Service in a manner that contradicts Company’s instructions and/or the Contract.
TERM AND TERMINATION
1. Term. The term of the Contract begins on the date when Customer first signs-up, starts using or accesses the Service (whichever is earlier) and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to any of the Contract’s express provisions, continues through the expiration or earlier termination of the last Order to be in effect. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable written Order Form or a written agreement executed by and between the Parties, the subscription will automatically renew for the same period at the end of the then-current Billing Period, unless terminated or canceled pursuant to the Company’s Return, Cancelation and Refund Policy incorporated herein by reference.
2. Termination for Cause. Either Party may terminate the Contract effective on written notice to the other Party if the other Party materially breaches the Contract and such breach is not cured within five (5) days after the non-breaching Party provides notice of the breach. Customer is responsible for all acts of its Authorized Users, including for any breaches of this Contract caused by its Authorized Users. Either Party may terminate the Contract immediately (on written notice), if the other Party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, cessation of business, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. In addition, Company may terminate any Order upon written notice to Customer if Customer fails to pay any amount due, and such failure continues more than five (5) days after Company’s delivery of written notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company may terminate the Contract immediately on written notice to Customer if Company reasonably believes that the Service is being used by Customer or its Authorized Users in violation of applicable law.
3. Termination Without Cause. Unless otherwise expressly stated in the applicable Order Form, Customer may elect to terminate the subscription to a Service effective as of the end of then-current Billing Period by providing notice, in accordance with Company’s Return, Cancelation and Refund Policy (at least three (3) business days before the end of the then-current Billing Period). Company will not provide any refunds of prepaid and/or unused Fees. Unless otherwise expressly stated in the applicable Order Form, Company may also terminate the Contract without cause by providing Customer with at least three (3) business days prior written notice before the end of the then-current Billing Period.
4. Effect of Termination or Expiration. Termination of the Contract will terminate all subscriptions and all Orders. Upon expiration or earlier termination of the Contract:
All rights granted hereunder shall immediately terminate and any and all use and/or exploitation by Customer and/or on its behalf of the Service, and any part thereof, shall immediately cease and expire;
Company will have no obligation to provide access to the Service to Customer or its Authorized Users following the effective date of the termination;
All pending amounts owed to Company by the Customer shall become immediately due and payable;
The Receiving Party shall return or destroy, at the Disclosing Party’s option, all copies of Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party, pursuant to Section 8;

Customer acknowledges and agrees that under the general rule the Fees are non-refundable, except: (a) as otherwise expressly stated in Company’s Return, Cancelation and Refund Policy incorporated herein by reference; (b) where the Contract was terminated by Company without cause in accordance with the Section 14.3 above and the Customer has pre-paid the corresponding Fees for the subsequent Billing Periods in advance – in this case Company will refund any prepaid but unused pro-rata share of Fees covering use of the Service after termination. Fees are otherwise non-refundable.
5. Suspension of Access. Company reserves the right to monitor the use of the Service for security and operational purposes. Company may suspend or otherwise deny Customer’s, Authorized User’s or any other person’s access to or use of all or any part of the Service for: (i) security reasons if Company believes, in its reasonable discretion, that any third party has gained unauthorized access to any portion of the Service using any credential issued by Company to Customer or its Authorized Users; (ii) any material breach of the Contract; (iii) use of the Service in breach of Section 4; (iv) Customer’s refusal to accept changes made to these Terms; (v) any illegal, or foreseen to be illegal, fraudulent, or deceptive use; (vi) (iii) repeated instances of posting or uploading Prohibited Content; (vii) creating a security vulnerability for the Service; or (viii) due to non-payment (in accordance with Section 5.6).

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify the Contract so as to affect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
