Upon termination of this Agreement: (a) all rights to all Services granted to you under this Agreement will immediately cease; (b) you must cease all use of all Services, and (c) you must return or destroy all Koronet Confidential Information (as defined in Section 11.1 (Confidential Information) below) in your possession or control and certify in writing to Koronet that you have fully complied with these requirements. Any provision will survive any termination or expiration if by its nature and context it is intended to survive, including Sections 1 (Definitions), 3 (Restrictions; Obligations; Ownership), 6.2 (Disclaimer of Warranty), 7.4 (Your Indemnification), 9 (Limitation of Liability), 10 (Termination), 11 (Confidential Information), 12 (Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver), and 13 (General).

11. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

11.1. Definition. Confidential Information” means information or materials provided by one party (“Discloser”) to the other party (“Recipient”) which are in tangible form and labelled “confidential” or the like, or information which a reasonable person knew or should have known to be confidential, including without limitation all non-public information relating to business plans, customers and customer lists, data, designs (whether actual, contemplated, experimental, or planned), financial information, forecasts, inventions, know-how, methods, market analysis, pricing, products (whether actual, contemplated, experimental, or planned), prerelease offerings, research and development, security policies and processes, source and object code, and strategies of the Discloser. With respect to Koronet, the following information shall be considered Confidential Information whether or not marked or identified as such: (a) information regarding Koronet’s pricing, product roadmaps or strategic marketing plans; and (b) non-public materials relating to the Services.

11.2. Protection. Recipient may use Confidential Information of Discloser: (a) to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Agreement; or (b) in connection with the parties’ ongoing business relationship. Recipient will disclose the Confidential Information of Discloser only to the employees or contractors of Recipient who have a need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement and who are under a duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than Recipient’s duty hereunder. Recipient will implement means designed to protect Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as Recipient protects its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature but with no less than reasonable care.

11.3. Exceptions. Recipient’s obligations under Section 11.2 (Protection) with respect to any Confidential Information will terminate if Recipient can show by written records that such information: (a) was already known to Recipient at the time of disclosure by Discloser; (b) was disclosed to Recipient by a third party who had the right to make such disclosure without any confidentiality restrictions; (c) is, or through no fault of Recipient has become, generally available to the public; or (d) was independently developed by Recipient without access to, or use of, Discloser’s Confidential Information. In addition, Recipient will be allowed to disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is required by law or by the order of a court of similar judicial or administrative body, provided that Recipient notifies Discloser of such required disclosure promptly and in writing and cooperates with Discloser, at Discloser’s request and expense, in any lawful action to contest or limit the scope of such required disclosure.

11.4. Feedback; Analytical Data. You acknowledge and agree that any suggestions, enhancements, requests, recommendations, corrections, or other feedback provided by you or your Authorized Users relating to the operation, functionality, or performance of the Services may be freely used by Koronet without restriction, accounting, or payment of any kind. You further acknowledge and agree that Koronet may collect and compile data related to or derived from monitoring your access to and use of the Services (“Analytical Data”) for statistical and performance analysis, improvement of the Services, development of new products and services, detection and prevention of fraudulent use of the Services, and for any other lawful purpose. As between you and Koronet, all right, title and interest in Analytical Data, together with all performance data, metadata, transactional data, ecommerce data generated through utilization of the Services or as a derivative or compilation work derived from the Content belong to and are retained solely by Koronet.

11.5. Privacy. Notwithstanding the terms of this Section 11 or anything else to the contrary herein, Koronet’s Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”), available at https://www.kometsales.com/pages/privacy-policy, is incorporated by reference into this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that Koronet may collect and use information as contemplated in the Privacy Policy. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Privacy Policy, the Privacy Policy shall supersede and control.

If and in so far as the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) applies to the processing of personal data by Koronet on behalf of You, You acknowledge and agree that the terms of the Data Processing Addendum attached hereto govern the relationship between Koronet and You with regard to such processing of personal data. The terms “processing” and “personal data” as used in this clause 11.5 have the meaning ascribed to them in the GDPR.

12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER. 

YOU MUST READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND KORONET.  YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT THIS SECTION AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 12.3 BELOW.

IF YOU ARE AN ECUADORIAN INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY USING THE SERVICES, PLEASE REFER TO SCHEDULE 1, AS IT CONTAINS ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS REGARDING DISPUTE RESOLUTION THAT MAY RENDER THIS SECTION INAPPLICABLE. 

12.1. Election to Arbitrate; No Jury Trial. This Section 12 is referred to in this Agreement as the “Arbitration Provision.” You agree that any and all disputes or that have arisen or may arise between you and Koronet, whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach) or your use of the Services, any aspect of the relationship, or transactions between us, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Provision, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Provision does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.

You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and Koronet are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not by a judge or jury.

12.2. Applicability of Federal Arbitration Act; Arbitrator’s Powers. This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed and enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). The arbitrator will apply substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations. The arbitrator may award damages or other types of relief permitted by applicable substantive law, subject to the limitations set forth in this Arbitration Provision. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and evidence that would apply in a court. The arbitrator shall take steps to reasonably protect confidential information.

12.3. Opt-Out of Arbitration Provision. You may opt-out of this Arbitration Provision for all purposes by sending an arbitration opt-out notice to 8400 NW 36th Street #450, Doral, FL 33166 AND via email to support@kometsales.com within thirty (30) days of the date of your electronic acceptance of this Agreement. The opt-out notice must clearly state that you are rejecting arbitration; identify this Agreement to which it applies by date; provide your name, address, and company name; and be signed by you. You may send an opt-out notice in any manner you see fit as long as it is received at the specified address within the specified time. No other methods can be used to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision. If the opt-out notice is sent on your behalf by a third party, such third party must include evidence of his or her authority to submit the opt-out notice on your behalf.

12.4. Class Action Waiver. YOU AND KORONET AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND KORONET AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS.

12.5. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution; Required Notice to Koronet. Koronet is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most user concerns can be resolved quickly and to the user’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at support@kometsales.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Crew should be sent support@kometsales.com (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. If you and Koronet do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Koronet may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Koronet or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you are or Koronet is entitled.

12.6. Arbitration Procedure. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Provision, the terms of this Arbitration Provision will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Provision terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of this Agreement as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Provision. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under this Agreement and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

Unless Koronet and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of each’s ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Koronet agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

12.7. Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Provision. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, Koronet will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $75,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, Koronet will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Koronet will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

12.8. Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

12.9. Survival and Severability of Arbitration Provision. This Arbitration Provision shall survive the termination of these Terms.

If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or section of this Provision (other than Section 12.4) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Provision will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of Section 12.4 are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision will be null and void, unless such sections are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.

12.10. Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Koronet agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of our Services or products, you may reject any such change by sending Koronet written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted this Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to this Agreement).

13. GENERAL.

13.1. Transfers; Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement, any Order, or any right or obligation herein or delegate any performance without Koronet’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Any other attempted assignment or transfer by you will be void. Koronet may use its affiliates or other sufficiently qualified subcontractors to provide services to you, provided that Koronet remains responsible to you for the performance of the services.

13.2. Notices. Any notice delivered by Koronet to you under this Agreement will be delivered via mail or email. Any notice delivered by you to Koronet will be delivered to the Koronet address set forth in the applicable Order.

13.3. Waiver; Severability. Failure to enforce a provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver. If any part of this Agreement is held unenforceable, the validity of all remaining parts will not be affected. Koronet may in its sole discretion replace the provision with a version which resembles the original provision as closely as possible, but is not unenforceable.

13.4. Compliance with Laws; Export Control; Government Regulations. Each party shall comply with all laws applicable to the actions contemplated by this Agreement. You acknowledge that the Services are provided subject to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, may be subject to the export control laws of the applicable territory, and that diversion contrary to applicable export control laws is prohibited. You represent that you are not, and are not acting on behalf of, (a) any person who is a citizen, national, or resident of, or who is controlled by the government of any country to which the United States has prohibited export transactions, or (b) any person or entity listed on the U.S. Treasury Department list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons, or the U.S. Commerce Department Denied Persons List or Entity List.

13.5. Construction. Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience and are not to be used in interpreting this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the word “including” and words of similar import mean “including, but not limited to”.

13.6. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States of America (excluding its conflict of law rules), and the federal laws of the United States. With the exception stated in Schedule 1, to the extent permitted by law, the state and federal courts located in Miami, Florida will be the exclusive jurisdiction for disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. If you are domiciled in the European Economic Area, this Agreement will instead be governed by Dutch law (excluding its conflict of law rules) and the district court in Amsterdam will be the exclusive jurisdiction for disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

13.7. Third Party Rights. Other than as expressly set out in this Agreement, this Agreement does not create any rights for any person who is a party to it, and no person who is not a party to this Agreement may enforce any of its terms or rely on any exclusion or limitation contained in it.

13.8. Order of Precedence. With respect to any inconsistency between this Agreement and an Order, the terms of the Order shall supersede and control over any conflicting or additional terms and conditions of this Agreement.

13.9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including accepted Orders and any amendments hereto, contain the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all previous or contemporaneous communications, representations, proposals, commitments, understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be amended only in writing signed by authorized representatives of both parties.

Schedule 1 – Overview Personal Data

This Schedule contains the categories of Personal Data that may be processed by Koronet on Client’s behalf under the Agreement. 

The software made available by Koronet enables Client to process different categories of Personal Data.
