2.1  In accordance with the terms and conditions established in this Agreement, Digierts will furnish the Customer with the Services.

2.2 Throughout the Term and contingent upon the Customer’s adherence to the stipulations of this Agreement, Digierts extends to the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited, and revocable privilege.

4.1 Furnish Digierts with information that is reasonably requested by Digierts and deemed necessary by the Services for each Customer Site. Furthermore, the Customer agrees to keep this information up-to-date in relation to each Customer Site. In the event that the Customer fails to provide any information that Digierts reasonably requests within seven (7) days of receiving such a written request, and this information is essential for the provision of Services in connection with the Customer Site, Digierts reserves the right to terminate the Services associated with that particular Customer Site. It’s important to note that no fees shall be charged to the Customer for that Customer Site after such termination.

5.3 The Customer is under no obligation to provide Digierts with any suggestions or feedback concerning its products or services (“Feedback”). In cases where the Customer does supply Feedback to Digierts, the Customer assigns ownership of such Feedback to Digierts, and Digierts may employ and modify such Feedback without any restrictions or payments.

6. Confidentiality

The Receiving Party commits to the following:

(i) Non-Disclosure: It shall not disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any third party, except to its Representatives (directors, employees, advisors, or consultants) on a “need to know” basis. These Representatives must also be bound by confidentiality obligations at least as stringent as those detailed herein.

(ii) Restricted Use: It shall not use or replicate any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose beyond fulfilling its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement.

(iii) Maintenance of Confidentiality: It shall maintain the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party with a level of confidentiality at least equivalent to the degree of care it employs to safeguard its own confidential information. This level of care shall not fall below a reasonable standard. However, if the Receiving Party is legally compelled by a legal process or applicable law, rule, or regulation to disclose any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will provide prior notice to the Disclosing Party, provided that this is legally permissible. Such notice will enable the Disclosing Party to seek protective measures or other suitable remedies.

These confidentiality obligations will remain in effect for a period of three (3) years from the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, superseding any prior confidentiality agreements between the parties.

13. General

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Digierts and the Customer, and it supersedes any prior agreements or representations, whether oral or written, regarding the subject matter covered in this Agreement. Any terms and conditions in the Customer’s separate purchase order, if any, are explicitly rejected, superseded, and excluded. Digierts may modify these terms periodically, and such changes will be effective when posted on the Digierts Website at [email protected] with the updated terms becoming effective upon the renewal of the Order and Agreement, in accordance with applicable law. By continuing to access or use the Services, the Customer agrees to be bound by the revised terms. The Customer is not allowed to transfer or assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any third party except to an Affiliate or in the event of a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assigning party’s assets. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section will be void.

If any part of this Agreement is declared invalid or unenforceable for any reason, that part will be modified to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, in a manner that most closely reflects the intent of the parties. If it cannot be modified, it will be eliminated, but the validity of the remaining portions will not be affected and will remain in force. A failure by either party to enforce or insist upon the performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any rights or remedies under this Agreement or by law will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any right to assert or rely upon that provision, right, or remedy in that or any other instance.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, and any dispute arising from this Agreement will be exclusively brought before the courts of Sheridan.
