In furtherance of the foregoing, Clean.io grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right and license to access and use cleanCART solely for your internal business purposes in connection with your Online Shop in order to detect and block Shopping Cart Threats and for purposes of otherwise receiving the applicable Services specified in your Order and in each case only consistent with the other limitations set forth in these Terms of Service and such Order.
2.2 Data and Information from Third Party Sites. Users may be required or allowed to link to a Google account or other third party account or site in order to provide, submit or upload Organization Data or other information to the Services (e.g. Google Analytics APIs, etc.). You expressly acknowledge and agree and grant us all necessary rights and licenses to access your Organization Data and all Threat Data and other information that may be hosted on third party sites, integrate into third party APIs to access and transmit your Organization Data and Threat Data and other information to the Services, store such Organization Data and information and process and use such Organization Data and other information via the Services. You are solely responsible for complying with all third party agreements, terms of service or other applicable legal terms and ensuring that you have the right to transmit Organization Data and Threat Data to the Services and permit the Services to process the Organization Data and Threat Data, including the terms of any Third Party E-commerce Platforms.
2.3 Limitations. User acknowledges and agrees that, from time-to-time, portions of, or functionality included in, the Platform and other Services may be added to, modified, or deleted by Clean.io and that the Platform and other Services may change over time. Clean.io may (but is not required to) expand or enhance the Services by providing additional features in the general course of Clean.io’s standard development model and offering road map. If any features or functionality are at the request or timing of User (or User requests any individualized consulting, implementation or other services) there may be additional cost and the Parties shall enter into a separate Order for such services. Additionally, certain new features or functionality may be priced separately and may not be included in the Fees and you may be required to pay additional amounts for such new features or functionality. User understands and agrees that temporary interruptions of the Services may occur as normal events. User further understands and agrees that Clean.io has no control over third party platforms and networks that User may access in the course of the use of the Services, and therefore, delays and disruption of other network transmissions are completely beyond Clean.io’s control. For instance, Clean.io may partner with Third Party E-Commerce Platforms for purposes of making the Platform directly available to their constituent Online Shops. Clean.io has no control over those Third Party E-Commerce Platforms and makes no guarantees that the Services will always be accessible directly via any such Third Party E-Commerce Platforms. It is even possible that a Third Party E-Commerce Platform may discontinue making the Services available to Users. User understands that certain functionality and portions of cleanCART or other Services may only be available to certain parties and that not all functionality and portions of cleanCART or other Services may be available to all Users. Any new features that augment or enhance the current Services shall be subject to these Terms of Service.
2.4 Equipment and Requirements. User acknowledges that certain portions or features of the Services may not be fully accessible or functional without a working computer or mobile device, a working Internet connection and/or working access to a cellular network, and applicable modems, hardware, servers, software, operating systems, networking, web servers and other technology, software, equipment or system elements that may be specified by Clean.io or a Third Party E-Commerce Platform from time to time or otherwise required to access the Services (the “Required Technology”). If User is unable to access all or part of the Services because it does not have access to any necessary Required Technology, Clean.io shall not be liable for any loss, damage, injury, claim or expense which may result from User’s inability to access the Services. Additionally, Clean.io may sometimes only offer the Platform through particular Third Party E-Commerce Platforms. If you transition your Online Shop away from such Third Party E-Commerce Platform , you will lose your access to the Platform and Services.
2.5 Network Limitations. User understands and agrees that temporary interruptions of the Services may occur as normal events. Clean.io may use third party providers to store, manage, and authenticate accounts and content, and to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run the Services. Additionally, Users may sometimes have the option to access the Platform via a Third Party E-Commerce Platform, which is completely outside of our control. We are not responsible for possible issues caused by third party faults or discontinued services. Clean.io does not guarantee or warrant that any Organization Data or Threat Data that a User saves, stores or accesses through the Services will not be subject to inadvertent damage, corruption, or loss. You are encouraged to back up the files that you store or access via the Services. While we take data security and privacy seriously, you understand and agreed that the technical processing and transmission of the Services, including Organization Data and Threat Data, may be transferred unencrypted and involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. Additionally, User further understands and agrees that Clean.io has no control over third party networks that you or other Users or Organizations may access or attempt to access in the course of the use of the Services, and therefore, delays and disruption of network transmissions and inaccuracies in results may be completely beyond Clean.io’s control and Clean.io assumes no responsibility for such delays, disruptions or inaccuracies. Without limiting the foregoing, Clean.io expressly disclaims responsibility for any lost revenues, lost profits, lost sales or billing errors, glitches or delays experienced by User or User’s Organization to the extent caused by Service outages or network or infrastructure interruptions. Additionally, Clean.io also expressly disclaims responsibility for any discount, coupon, rebate, promotional and similar codes that are not identified and/or blocked by the Platform as a result of a Service outage or network or infrastructure interruption. User understands and agrees that cleanCART and each of the other Services are provided “AS IS” and that Clean.io assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, misdelivery or failure to store any Organization Data or Threat Data, or any other communications or personalization settings.
2.6 Your Offerings. Clean.io assumes no responsibility for User’s products, services, solutions, offerings, businesses, operations, stores, products, Online Shops and other commercial activities (the “Offerings”), including, without limitation, that your use of the Service in relation to the Offerings complies with all applicable laws. You are solely responsible for providing and delivering the Offerings to your Visitors and resolving all disputes with such Visitors (including disputes related to the applicability of specific discount, coupon, rebate, promotional and similar codes). YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT CLEAN.IO SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF YOUR OR YOUR ORGANIZATION’S OFFERINGS AND ANY CLAIMS, ISSUES, MATTERS OR OTHER INTERACTIONS WITH ANY OF YOUR OR ANY OF YOUR ORGANIZATION’S VISITORS.
2.7 Your Privacy Policy.

Clean.io and its licensors and service providers reserve and shall respectively retain their entire right, title, and interest in and to the Services, including all copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights therein or relating thereto, except as expressly granted to you in these Terms of Service.
2.8 Implementation. If User orders any Services under an Order that require implementation assistance by Clean.io or other unique or personalized consultation or setup services, then promptly after submitting such Order, User will provide Clean.io with any information, resources and assistance required by Clean.io to enable the implementation or provision of the Services for User’s purposes as described on the Order and, if applicable, to provide any related training. Any dates specified in an Order are estimates only, and are contingent upon User’s timely compliance with its obligations relative to such implementation.

Upon the expiration of the Evaluation Term, the rights to access and use the applicable Services specified in the Order shall automatically, and without the necessity of any further action by either Party, convert to a paid subscription/use right. The date of such automatic conversion is referred to herein as the “Conversion Date”.
Unless a different term is specified in an Order, this Agreement shall continue with respect to the particular Services being provided via the Order either on an annual term basis (“Annual Term”) or on a monthly term basis (“Monthly Term”) as selected by User. If Customer selects an Annual Term, this Agreement shall remain in effect for a period of time equal to one (1) year from the Conversion Date. Following the initial year, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms with respect to the applicable Services, unless either Party provides the other Party with notice of its intention not to renew at least sixty (60) days’ prior to the end of the then-current term. The initial year together with all annual renewals shall be referred to as the “Annual Subscription Term”. If Customer selects a Monthly Term, this Agreement shall remain in effect for a period of time equal to one (1) month from the Conversion Date. Following the initial month, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one (1) month terms with respect to the applicable Services, unless either Party provides the other Party with notice of its intention not to renew at least thirty (30) days’ prior to the end of the then-current term. The initial month together with all monthly renewals shall be referred to as the “Monthly Subscription Term”. The Evaluation Term together with the Annual Subscription Term or Monthly Subscription Term (as applicable) are together referred to herein as the “Term”. The Fees specified in the applicable Order shall not apply during an Evaluation Term and only during an Annual Subscription Term or Monthly Subscription Term.
7.2 Termination. During the Evaluation Term, either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time for any or no reason upon written notice (email being sufficient) to the other party. User agrees that Clean.io may at any time, and at Clean.io’s sole discretion, terminate User’s (or User’s Organization’s) access to any portion or all of the Services without prior notice to User for violating this Agreement, including, without limitation, breach of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity may be grounds for terminating User’s relationship with Clean.io and may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. In addition, User acknowledges that Clean.io will cooperate fully with investigations of violations of systems or network security at other sites. In addition to the foregoing, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the other party terminates its business activities or becomes insolvent, files for bankruptcy, admits in writing its inability to pay debts as they mature, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes subject to direct control of a trustee, receiver or similar authority. Upon termination or suspension, regardless of the reasons therefore, User’s right to use the Platform or any of the other Services immediately ceases, and User acknowledges and agrees that Clean.io may immediately deactivate or delete User’s account (if applicable) and all related information and files in User’s account and/or bar any further access to such files, the Platform and the other Services. Clean.io shall not be liable to User or any third party for any claims or damages arising out of any termination or suspension or any other actions taken by Clean.io in connection therewith. Applicable provisions of these Terms of Service shall survive any termination.

Clean.io reserves the right, at Clean.io’s own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by User, in which event User will cooperate with Clean.io in asserting any available defenses.

Although the Platform or other Services may be accessible worldwide, Clean.io makes no representation that (i) use of the Platform or other Services are appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States, and (ii) use of the Platform or other Services is compliant with foreign law. Users who choose to access the Platform or other Services from other locations do so on User’s own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws. Any offer for any product, service, and/or information made in connection with the Platform or with any of the other Services is void where prohibited.
15. Law; Venue.
User agrees that the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Service and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between User and Clean.io, except as otherwise stated in these Terms of Service. All actions related to these Terms of Service shall take place in Baltimore, Maryland.
16. Arbitration.
16.1 Agreement to Arbitrate. This Section is referred to as the “Arbitration Agreement.” User agrees that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between User and Clean.io, whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement or in connection with Users use of the Platform or other Services, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that User may assert individual claims in small claims court, if User’s claims qualify. User agrees that, by agreeing to this Agreement, User and Clean.io are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. User’s rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement.
16.2 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. User and Clean.io agree that each may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both User and Clean.io 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 claim(s).
16.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Clean.io is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most concerns can be resolved quickly and to the participant’s satisfaction by emailing Clean.io’s support team at support@clean.io. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Clean.io should be sent to Clean.io at legal@clean.io Attn: Legal (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Clean.io and User do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, User or Clean.io may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Clean.io or User shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which User or Clean.io is entitled.
16.4 Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. 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 Clean.io and User agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If User’s claim is for $10,000 or less, Clean.io agrees that User 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 User’s 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 shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
16.5 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 Agreement. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
16.6 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.
16.7 Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than clause 16.2 above 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 Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of clause 16.2 is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of this Agreement will continue to apply.
17. Entire Agreement / Confidentiality
17.1 Entire Agreement. These Terms of Services and our cleanCART Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement and understanding between Clean.io and User concerning the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings of the parties with respect thereto. These Terms of Service may NOT be altered, supplemented, or amended by the use of any other document(s). Any attempt to alter, supplement or amend this document or to enter an order for products or services which are subject to additional or altered terms and conditions shall be null and void unless otherwise agreed to in a written agreement signed by User and Clean.io.
17.2 Confidential Information means any information disclosed previously or in the future by Clean.io (the “Disclosing Party”) to User or User’s Organization (each, a “Receiving Party”), either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or by inspection of tangible objects (including without limitation documents, business plans, source code, software, documentation, specifications, mock-ups, financial analyses, marketing plans, customer names, customer lists, product plans, products, services, inventions, processes, designs, drawings, engineering or hardware configuration information, know-how, trade secrets, or any other proprietary or business information), which is designated as “Confidential,” “Proprietary” or some similar designation, or other information, the confidential or proprietary nature of which is reasonably apparent under the circumstances. Confidential Information shall not, however, include any information which (i) was publicly known and made generally available in the public domain prior to the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (ii) becomes publicly known and made generally available after disclosure by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party through no action or inaction of the Receiving Party; (iii) is already in the possession of the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party as shown by the Receiving Party’s files and records immediately prior to the time of disclosure; (iv) is obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without a breach of such third party’s obligations of confidentiality as shown by the Receiving Party’s files and records immediately prior to the time of disclosure; or (v) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as shown by documents and other competent evidence in the Receiving Party’s possession. Moreover, it shall not be a breach of these Terms of Service for the Receiving Party to disclose to a court or other governmental body Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party which the Receiving Party is required by law to disclose to such entity, provided that the Receiving Party shall give the Disclosing Party written notice of such requirement prior to disclosure so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate relief. The Platform and the Services, including any documentation related thereto, shall all be considered the Confidential Information of Clean.io without any further requirement of marking or designation.
17.3 Non-Disclosure and Non-Use. The Receiving Party shall not disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to third parties or to the Receiving Party’s employees, except those employees who require the information to perform obligations or exercise rights under these Terms of Service and who have signed a confidentiality agreement at least as protective of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as these Terms of Service. The Receiving Party shall not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose other than for the purposes contemplated by these Terms of Service. The Receiving Party shall take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Without limiting the foregoing, the Receiving Party shall exercise the same degree of care to protect Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as it does to protect its own highly confidential information of like nature, which shall in no event be less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party shall immediately notify the Disclosing Party in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

18.4 No Waiver. Any failure by Clean.io to enforce or exercise any provision of these Terms of Service or related rights shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision or a waiver of Clean.io's right to enforce or exercise any such provision of these Terms of Service in the future.
