The use of the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform by the Customer or Authorized Users, or the payment by the Customer for the Company Services, shall be deemed unqualified acceptance of the terms and conditions included in this Agreement.

2. Customer Data. The Company does not own or make claim to any of the Customer Data. The Customer and/or the Authorized Users, not the Company, have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, appropriateness, and intellectual property ownership or right to use the Customer Data.

3. Confidentiality. The Company agrees and understands that the Customer Data are intended to be confidential, and will take reasonable steps to assure that the Customer Data stored on the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform are not inappropriately disclosed. The Company understands that the Customer Data may be subject to attorney-client privilege or be attorney work product, and agrees to hold such materials as an agent of the attorney or attorneys handling any Proceeding in connection with the Customer Data. Subject to applicable law or court order, the Company agrees not to disclose the Customer Data to any person or entity other than to the Customer, an Authorized User, or as an Authorized User authorizes or instructs. If access to Customer Data is sought by a third party, the Company will promptly notify the Customer or an Account Administrator of such action, tender to the Customer the Company’s defense responding to the request and cooperate with the Customer concerning the Company’s response.

4. Service Level Agreement. The Company guarantees to Customer that Customer’s access to Customer’s Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Account will have Service Level Availability of at least 99.99%. If Customer’s access to Customer’s Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Account is less than 99.9%, then Customer will be entitled to a pro rata credit for charges during the period of unavailability, except that credit under this section shall not be applicable or available in connection with any failure or deficiency of Service Level Availability caused by or associated with Service Level Credit Exceptions.

Each request in connection with this Service Level Agreement should include dates and approximate times of the unavailability of Customer's Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Account and must be received by the Company within ninety (90) days after Customer’s Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Account was not available. Credits under this section are the sole and exclusive remedy of Customer with respect to any failure or deficiency in connection with Service Level Availability.

5. Privacy, Disclosure. The Company’s general privacy policies may be viewed here. The Company reserves the right to modify its privacy policies from time to time. The Company occasionally may need to notify all Authorized Users of the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform (whether or not they have opted out as described above) of important announcements regarding the operation of the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform, and any related contact is authorized.

6. Intellectual Property. The Company, and its licensors, where applicable, own and shall own all right, title and interest, including all related Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Company Technology, the Company Content, and the Company Services, and any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations or other information provided by Customer, Customer Associated Persons, or Customer’s Users relating to the Company Services. This Agreement is not a sale and does not convey to Customer or Customer’s Users any rights of ownership or Intellectual Property Rights in or related to the Company Services, the Company Technology or the Company Content. The Company name, the Company logo, and the product names associated with the Company Services are trademarks of the Company, and no right or license is granted to use them. Customer and any of its agents shall not reverse engineer or access the Company Services or the Company Technology in order to (i) build a competitive product or service, (ii) build a product using similar ideas, features, functions or graphics, or (iii) copy any ideas, features, functions or graphics.

7. Responsibilities of the Customer and Users. The Customer and Authorized Users are responsible for all activity occurring in the Customer's Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Account and shall abide by all applicable local, state, national and foreign laws, treaties and regulations in connection with their use of the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform, including those related to data privacy, international communications and the transmission of technical or personal data. Customer and Authorized Users shall: (i) keep their user login password confidential, not share their password with any other person, maintain effective password security, use complex passwords that cannot be easily guessed, and change their passwords periodically, as needed to maintain the confidentiality of their Customer Data and the security of their access to the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform, (ii) notify the Company immediately of any unauthorized use of any password or account or any other known or suspected breach of security; (iii) report to the Company immediately and use reasonable efforts to stop immediately any improper use of the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform that is known or reasonably suspected by the Customer or Authorized Users; and (iv) not impersonate another the Company user or provide false identity information to gain access to or use the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform. Customer and Users shall not take any action in connection with the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform or the Company that is prohibited by this Agreement. Customer and Users should also maintain original or periodic backup copies of all Customer Data as needed, and this can be done by creating and downloading Briefcases or Productions, or engaging Company Professional Services for this purpose. Any Customer or Authorized User that is not a lawyer represents that such Customer or Authorized User has engaged legal counsel and looks to that counsel regarding legal advice and for expertise regarding litigation discovery requirements, and not to the Company.

8. Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Account Types. The Company offer various Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Accounts including eDiscovery Platform Flex Plans and Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Annual Plans. Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Flex Plans are month-to-month and can be cancelled at any time. Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Subscription Plans are fixed time commitments (e.g. (multiyear) and are not cancellable. Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Flex Plans and Subscription Plans both are billable based on Account Storage and do not assess user fees or case fees for normal use. For Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Flex Plans, the Company will bill Customer following the end of each calendar month for Account Usage of the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform during that month, at the Company's current rates for Company Services utilized, for the highest Account Storage used in the month, rounded up to the next largest GB. Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Subscription Plans are based on a maximum authorized Account Storage in the Account, and if exceeded in a month the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Subscription Plan may be upgraded to a larger plan with prorated credit. Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Subscription Plans may either be prepaid or billable in monthly installments, depending on the order. There are no set-up or ongoing case or user fees in a Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Account, so long as self-administered by an Account Administer(s) for the Account.

9. Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Account Storage Calculations. A Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Account will be billed based on the data stored in the account, including Customer Data uploaded and other ESI created or stored in the eDiscovery Platform Account, pursuant to current Company pricing, and this will be Customer’s Account Storage for such account at any particular time. The Company calculates the billable storage for the month for an eDiscovery Platform Account as the peak storage used, in GBs (rounded up). Account Storage size substantially increases beyond the amount of Customer Data uploaded because of decompression, PDF, TIFF image, and placeholder file creation, text extraction, OCR, index creation and update, SQL database creation and update, Production creation and Briefcase creation. If Customer Data is removed from a Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Account, or a case or account is deleted, the effect will not be reflected in the current monthly billing, which is based on the highest account usage in the month. Instead, deletions will be reflected in the succeeding month. An account or case cancellation or deletion will be billed for the month of deletion or cancellation, reflecting the highest of usage for the month of deletion or cancellation.

10. Billing for Company Services other than the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform. If the Customer or an Authorized User requests or otherwise engages Company Services other than customer self-service usage of the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform, Customer will pay for these Company Services based on the Company's current rates. This may include eDiscovery Processing Services that may be billed per GB processed and Professional Services and Consulting Services, which are billed hourly.

11. Billing Fees, Cycle & Information. The Customer agrees to provide the Company with complete and accurate billing and contact information. This information includes legal company name, street address, e-mail address, and name and telephone number of an authorized billing contact and Account Administrator. Fees for the Company Services are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and Customer shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties. For eDiscovery Flex Plans the Customer agrees to pay by credit card and to maintain a valid credit card on file with the Company for payment, including all required information to allow prompt billing. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all payments for Company Services are due immediately on billing. Once incurred, payment obligations for the Company Services are non-cancellable and all amounts paid are nonrefundable. With respect to any particular job, order or services part of the Company Services, the Company may require that Customer present an approved purchase order, provide a deposit, prepay for services, or pay with a valid credit card, as a condition to offering or providing any the Company Services, if the Company in good faith deems it advisable. If Customer has or is required to provide a credit card for billing, Customer agrees to maintain valid and updated information to the Company. If the Customer believes a bill or receipt is incorrect, the Customer must contact the Company in writing within 60 days of the invoice or billing date of the invoice or bill containing the amount in question to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit.

12. Non-Payment and Suspension. In addition to any other rights granted to the Company by this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to suspend Company Services if an Account becomes delinquent. Delinquent charges after 30 days are subject to interest of one percent per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all lawful expenses of collection. The Customer will continue to be charged for an Account License during any period of suspension. If the Customer or the Company terminates this Agreement, the Customer will remain obligated to pay the balance due on the Account computed in accordance with this Agreement, or if applicable, in an Incorporating Agreement. The Company may charge such unpaid fees to any credit card provider on the Account or otherwise bill the Customer for such unpaid fees. The Company may require a deposit against future Services, or prepayment of Services, and may rightfully refuse to render continued Services if unpaid.

13. Termination of Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Accounts by the Company. The Customer may terminate a Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Flex Plan Account by notifying the Company in writing at least three (3) business days prior to the end of any month. The termination will be effective for the next month and the Account will be billable for the month of termination and invoiced in the succeeding month. The Customer may terminate a Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Annual Plan Account by notifying the Company in writing at least three (3) business days prior to end of the applicable annual period. No refund or rebate of unused time or charges will be due or payable for the cancellation of any Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Account.

14. Termination by the Company. The Company may terminate a User’s access to the Account or use of the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform, if a User fails to comply with this Agreement. The Company may terminate an existing Account upon material breach of this Agreement by the Customer or any Authorized User. Any breach of the Customer’s payment obligations (after 10 days) or unauthorized use of the Company Technology or Company Services (at any time) by an Authorized User will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. In addition, the Company may terminate a Promotional Account at any time for any reason. The Customer and Users agree and acknowledge that the Company has no obligation to retain the Customer Data upon termination of Account License, and may delete Customer Data from the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform, within ten (10) days following termination. Prior to termination of an Account the Customer and Authorized Users should download and save any Customer Data that the Customer and Authorized Users wish to retain.

15. Customer Data following Account Termination. On cancellation or termination of any Lexbe eDiscovery Platform Account, the Company has no obligation to retain the Customer Data, and may delete Customer Data from the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform upon termination or expiration of an Account for any reason. Prior to termination, expiration or reduction of an Account, the Customer or Authorized Users should download and save any Customer Data that the Customer or Authorized Users wish to retain, utilizing Briefcase or Production functionality, or engaging Company Professional Services for that purpose (separately billable).
