An “Order Form” means a document signed by both Company and ServiceCore identifying the Services ordered, the costs associated with such Services, the period of time Company will have access to the ordered Service(s) (the “Access Term”), the schedule of payments for the performance of such Services, data syncing and/or import preferences, limits on Authorized Users, and any unique additional terms.

ServiceCore may agree to providing additional technical support services pursuant to an Order Form.
- ServiceCore shall provide to you the Development Services and Marketing Services described in the applicable Order Form in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. With respect to any of your responsibilities ServiceCore’s obligations related thereto will be subject to the complete and timely performance by you of your responsibilities.

Such change order will extend such milestones and/or require you to pay such additional amounts as necessary to compensate for the failure of the parties’ assumptions. In the event that the parties are unable to reach agreement on such change order, ServiceCore may, in its discretion, terminate this Agreement. In the event of such termination, you shall pay ServiceCore the fees for any Development Services and Marketing Services performed before the effective date of termination, on a time and materials basis, such fees not to exceed the amount associated with the next uncompleted milestone, plus any reasonable costs incurred before the effective date of termination.

You agree that ServiceCore retains the right to create reasonable limits on ServiceCore’s use and storage of your Content you Make Available, such as limits on file size, storage space, processing capacity, and similar limits described on the applicable Order Form and as otherwise determined by ServiceCore in its sole discretion.
- License. ServiceCore does not claim ownership of your Content you Make Available. However, when you Make Available your Content, you represent that you have all rights, permissions, and consents (including from Authorized Users) necessary to collect, process, transmit, use, store, and destroy your Content you Make Available as contemplated herein. You further agree that in relation to any information (including personal information) that Company transfers to ServiceCore under the Agreement, Company shall provide such notices and disclosures to customers and individuals (and, as applicable, obtain all approvals, authorizations and Consents from customers) as are sufficient in scope to enable ServiceCore (and its vendors) to process such information from Company to perform the Services under the Agreement and in accordance with All Applicable Privacy Laws and Regulations. As used in this Section, “Consent” means, the individual’s voluntary and willful acceptance of the collection, use, storage, transfer, processing, or disclosure of their information in compliance with All Applicable Privacy Laws and Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, “All Applicable Privacy Laws and Regulations” means any laws governing data privacy and security, including laws that could require certain disclosures, notices, or Consent for the collection, use, storage, transfer, disclosure, or processing of personal information.

ServiceCore and ServiceCore Parties will not be liable for any damages, claims, injury, costs and expenses arising from or related to the Company’s customers Consent.
- Reporting Copyright and Other IP Violations. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. ServiceCore also reviews claims of trademark infringement. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by ServiceCore infringe your copyright or trademark rights, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it be blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work or trademark claimed to have been infringed on (or, if multiple copyrighted works or trademarks located on the Service are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow ServiceCore to locate the material on the Services; (d) the name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright or trademark owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Please be advised that ServiceCore will not respond to complaints that do not meet these requirements. If ServiceCore determines that the materials alleged to infringe your copyright or trademark rights do not require removal, ServiceCore will remove those materials only pursuant to a court order declaring the content or use of the materials unlawful. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Counter-notices must include the following information: (1) your name, address, and telephone number; (2) the source of the content that was removed; (3) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the content was removed in error; (4) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located; or, if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which ServiceCore may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original complaint; and (5) a physical or electronic signature (for example, typing your full name). Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Service must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA (see copyright.gov/title17/92appb.html) and should be sent to the agent identified below. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
