Zentail may revise the Service Fee schedule at any time, provided it will give thirty (30) days’ advance notice before any change is applicable to Client. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein and without limitation of any other remedies available to it, in the event Client fails to pay any Service Fee (including in the event Client disconnects the Services or otherwise attempts to circumvent payment of the Service Fee) Zentail reserves the right to, immediately and without notice, terminate this Agreement and/or delete Client’s data and listings created through the Services. Client is responsible for paying all taxes associated with the Services, including sales, use, value added and excise taxes but excluding taxes assessed on the income or gross receipts of Zentail.

No method of electronic transmission of storage is 100% secure and Zentail cannot ensure or warrant the absolute security of any information Client transmits or stores in the Software.
3. Privacy Policy.  The Zentail privacy policy is available online at “https://www.zentail.com/privacy” (as amended from time to time, the “Privacy Policy”).  Zentail reserves the right to update the Privacy Policy from time to time, and will notify Client of any material changes.

Client acknowledges that the Software may interact with third party services (such as ecommerce shopping sites, inventory management, customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning and accounting software providers or third party logistics companies) (collectively, “Third Party Services”).  Any use or integration by Client of such Third Party Services, and any exchange of data between Client and any Third Party Service provider, is solely between Client and the applicable Third Party Service provider.  Zentail does not warrant or support, and shall have no liability for, any Third Party Services.  Client acknowledges that it will only use Third Party Services in accordance with the Documentation.
2. Third Party Services and Client Data. If Client installs or enables a Third Party Service for use with the Software or the Services, Client grants Zentail permission to allow the provider of that Third Party Service to access Client Data as required for the integration and interoperation of that Third Party Service with the Services.

3. Integration with Third Party Services. The Software may contain features designed to interoperate with a Third Party Service. To use such features, Client may be required to obtain access to a Third Party Service directly, and may be required to grant Zentail access to Client account(s) on the Third Party Service. Zentail cannot guarantee the continued availability of such Third Party Service features, and may cease providing them without entitling Client to any refund, credit, or other compensation.
4. Third Party Service Data.  Upon granting access to a Client account on a Third Party Service, the Software may interact with data that may exist on or subsequently be added to such Third Party Service.  Zentail is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of data on a Third Party Service by the Software or the Services. Client acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for any security incident on Client’s systems that results in the disclosure of such data. Client agrees to promptly (and in any event with 48 hours) delete any and/or all such data (in accordance with industry-standard sanitization processes, e.g., NIST 800-88) that it has received from a Third Party Service upon request by a user or from Zentail and provide certification of such deletion to Zentail as it may reasonably request, including a signed writing from an officer of Client.

7. Mutual Non-Disclosure.

1. Each party will maintain the confidentiality of the other party’s Confidential Information and will not use, disclose or have Confidential Information disclosed, directly or indirectly to any third party other than its Affiliates, except as required to provide the Services, as contemplated in this Agreement or subject to the other party’s prior permission.
   
2. Each Party will take precautions to maintain the confidentiality of the other Party’s Confidential Information with the same degree of care as its own Confidential Information, but in no case less than reasonable care. Each party will limit access to the other Party’s Confidential Information to those of its and its Affiliates’ Representatives, including Third Party Service providers, who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement.
   
3. “Confidential Information” means any information identified as “confidential” or “proprietary,” either by legend on written or electronically stored material, or which ought reasonably to be recognized as confidential or proprietary by virtue of its nature or the circumstances of its disclosure. Notwithstanding any failure to so identify it, the following types of information of either party shall automatically be deemed to be confidential information requiring protection hereunder: unreleased product or service information; pricing, financial or Client Data; marketing plans or business strategies; software and hardware; application programming interfaces; specifications or designs, proprietary formulae and proprietary algorithms. Confidential Information shall not include: (a) information already known to the other Party without an obligation of confidentiality or is generally known in the industry at the time of disclosure, (b) information that is independently developed by the other Party without use of the Confidential Information; (c) information that becomes available to the other Party from another source, provided that such other source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information on subsequent disclosure or use; or (d) information that is or becomes publicly known other than through a breach by the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event either Party or its representatives are requested or required by legal process or applicable Laws to disclose any of the Confidential Information, such requested Party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, give prompt notice to the other Party so that it may seek a protective order or other appropriate relief.

8. Term; Termination.

1. Term.  This Agreement will be effective upon the date of commencement of Client’s use of the Services (the “Effective Date”), and the term will continue for one month from the Effective Date (the “Term”).  At the end of such Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for consecutive one-month terms (each, a new “Term”) on the same terms and conditions, unless either Party notifies the other Party of non-renewal in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the applicable Term. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event a Term begins on a day of a month for which there is no corresponding day in the next month, then such Term will end on the last day of the next month and the following Term will begin on the first day of the subsequent month.
2. Termination for Material Breach.  Either Party may terminate this Agreement if the other Party is in material breach of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within ten (10) days after written notice of such breach is delivered to the breaching Party.  Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, this provision will not be interpreted to limit Zentail’s ability to suspend Client’s access to the Services in accordance with Section 3.d.
