4.2 Variable Fees. Variable Fees for such items as messaging, carrier surcharges and wireless carrier lookups that occur during a billing period, will be charged or invoiced starting with the next Billing Period in the Subscription Term. Tatango will monitor or audit remotely these variable fees in the Subscription Service. This information is also available to you on your Billing Page in your Tatango account.

4.3 Payment by credit card. If you are paying by credit card, you authorize us to charge your credit card or bank account for all fees payable at the beginning of the Initial Subscription Term and all subsequent Billing Periods, including upgrades. You further authorize us to use a third party to process payments, and consent to the disclosure of your payment information to such third party.

4.4 Payment against invoice. If you are paying by invoice, we will invoice you at the beginning of the Initial Subscription Term and at the beginning of each subsequent Billing Period. All amounts invoiced are due and payable within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice, unless otherwise specified in the Order Form.

4.5 Payment Information. You will keep your contact information, billing information and credit card information (where applicable) up to date. Changes may be made on your Billing Page within your Tatango account. All payment obligations are non­cancelable and all amounts paid are non­refundable, except as specifically provided for in this Agreement. All fees are due and payable in advance throughout the Subscription Term.

4.6 Overdue Payments. Customer’s failure to timely pay any fees and expenses that are not the subject of a good faith dispute of which Customer notifies Tatango in a detailed writing (“Undisputed Fees”) shall constitute a material breach of the Agreement. If any amounts for which Customer is responsible are overdue, then Tatango may provide Customer with written notice of the same (a “Late Notice”). If Customer fails to pay all overdue amounts within 10 business days after Customer’s receipt of the Late Notice, then Tatango may, in addition to any of its other rights or remedies, suspend access to the Platform and/or its provision of Services until all overdue amounts are paid in full. If Customer fails to pay all overdue amounts within 30 days after Customer’s receipt of the Late Notice, then Tatango: (a) may terminate the Agreement, including all outstanding Order Forms and SOWs; (b) shall be entitled to recover from Customer (i) interest on all overdue amounts at the lower of a rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law (“Interest”); and (ii) all fees and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and collection agency fees) incurred in seeking collection of such overdue amounts (“Collection Costs”).

4.7 Sales Tax. All fees are exclusive of taxes, which we will charge as applicable.

Subject to the limited rights expressly granted hereunder, Tatango reserves all rights, title, and interest in and to the Platform, and the Services, including all related patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights. No rights are granted to Customer hereunder other than as expressly set forth herein. In addition, Tatango shall own all rights, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to any improvements to the Platform, including without limitation those relating to any new Tatango, Inc. programs, upgrades, modifications, refinements, or enhancements (collectively, “Improvements”) developed by or for Tatango in connection with providing the Platform to Customer, even when such Improvements result from Customer’s request. To the extent, if any, that ownership in such Improvements does not automatically vest in Tatango by virtue of the Agreement or otherwise, Customer hereby transfers and assigns to Tatango all rights, title, and interest that Customer may have in and to such Improvements.

5.3 Customer’s Intellectual Property. As between Tatango and Customer, Customer exclusively owns all rights, title and interest in and to all Data. In addition, all content created by, or by Tatango for, Customer during performance of the Services (the “Work Product”), shall be the sole and exclusive property of Customer. Tatango agrees that it will not use the same Work Product created for Customer under this Agreement for another Tatango customer; provided, however, that nothing in the preceding sentence shall be interpreted to preclude Tatango from using the same functionality, format, code, design, concepts, workflows, integrations or other ideas represented in the Work Product. For all other deliverables described in a Statement of Work which are not deemed Work Product, Tatango hereby grants Customer a worldwide, non­exclusive, non­transferable, royalty free license to use such other deliverables during an applicable Subscription Term.

5.4 Publicity; Trademarks. Neither party may issue press releases or any other public announcement of any kind relating to the Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during an applicable Subscription Term, either party may include the names, trademarks and other logos of the other party (collectively the “Marks”) in lists (including on its website) of customers or vendors in accordance with the other party’s standard usage guidelines relating to its Marks. In addition, Tatango may use the Customer’s Marks in connection with its authorized provision of the Platform and solely to the extent Customer has uploaded or incorporated such Marks into the form of communication to be delivered, and has initiated the distribution of the same, through its use of the Platform. Except as set forth herein, neither party may use the Marks of the other party without its prior written consent.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1 Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all confidential and proprietary information of a party (“Disclosing Party”) disclosed to the other party (“Receiving Party”) that (a) if disclosed orally is designated as confidential at the time of disclosure, (b) if disclosed in writing is marked as “Confidential” and/or “Proprietary”, or (c) reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, the terms and conditions of the Agreement (including pricing and other terms reflected in all Order Forms and SOWs), the Data, business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, financial information, business strategies, practices, procedures, methodologies, know­how, product designs, and business processes. Confidential Information (except for Data) shall not include any information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party by the Receiving Party; (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (iii) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or (iv) is rightfully received from a third party not known by the Receiving Party to be subject to an obligation owed to the Disclosing Party.

6.2 Confidentiality. The Receiving Party shall use practices consistent with generally accepted industry standards to protect the security of Confidential Information it receives from the Disclosing Party and to prevent the disclosure or use any such Confidential Information for any purpose other than to fulfill the purpose of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) the Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information to its employees and contractors, as well as those of its Affiliates, who have a need to know such information for purposes relating to the Agreement, and hereby certifies that prior to disclosure it will cause such employees and contractors to agree to be bound by terms and conditions of confidentiality substantially similar to those in this MSA; and (b) each party may disclose the existence and terms of the Agreement: (i) in confidence, to a potential purchaser of or successor to any portion of such party’s business; (ii) to its attorneys, accountants and other advisors having a need to know the same; and (iii) if necessary to enforce its rights under the Agreement, provided that the Receiving Party uses reasonable efforts to limit such disclosure and to obtain confidential treatment of, or a protective order governing, the terms of the Agreement.

6.3 Compelled Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is requested to, or subject to a legal obligation to, disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it shall provide the Disclosing Party with notice of the same as early as reasonably practical (if legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.

6.4 Remedies. If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of the confidentiality protections hereunder, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek immediate injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the parties that any other available remedies may be inadequate. Customer acknowledges that Tatango is unable to guarantee absolute security of Data or Confidential Information and that Tatango has no liability to Customer for any unauthorized access or use of such Data or Information by a third party, or the corruption, deletion, destruction or loss of any such Data or Information, unless Tatango’s security practices are below generally accepted industry standards.

6.5 Survival. Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this MSA for any reason, the obligations of confidentiality and non­use set forth in this Section shall extend for a period of five years after such expiration or termination, except with respect to either party’s trade secrets or to audit reports and findings belonging to Tatango’s third party datacenters, all of which shall be held in confidence indefinitely.
