  6. Subcontracting. New/Mode may engage third parties to assist it in providing the Services or any part thereof. 

  7. Third-Party Products. The New/Mode SaaS Services may contain or require the use of Licensed Third Party Technology or other third party products that are owned by third parties (collectively “Third-Party Products”). Customer will accept and comply with the license terms applicable to Third-Party Products. If Customer does not agree to abide by the applicable license terms for any such Third-Party Products, then Customer should not install, access, or use such Third-Party Products. Any acquisition by Customer of such Third-Party Products, and any exchange of data between Customer and any such provider of Third-Party Products is solely between Customer and the applicable Third-Party Products provider. New/Mode does not warrant or support Third-Party Products or other third party products, offerings or services, whether or not they are designated by New/Mode as “certified” or otherwise. New/Mode cannot guarantee the continued availability of such Third-Party Products features, and may cease providing them without entitling Customer to any refund, credit, or other compensation, if for example and without limitation, the provider of a Third-Party Products ceases to make the Third-Party Products available for interoperation or otherwise in connection with the corresponding service features in a manner acceptable to New/Mode. New/Mode is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of Customer Data resulting from access by such Third-Party Products or its provider.

  8. Acceptable Use Policy. Customer shall comply with the AUP. 

  9. Service Availability
    1. Notwithstanding Section 1.d., the New/Mode Platform Services shall be available 99.9%, measured monthly. If Customer requests maintenance during scheduled maintenance hours, any uptime or downtime calculation will exclude periods affected by such maintenance. Further, any downtime resulting from outages of third party connections or utilities or other reasons beyond New/Mode’s control will also be excluded from any such calculation. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and New/Mode's entire liability, in connection with Service availability shall be that for each period of downtime lasting longer than one hour, New/Mode will credit Customer 2.5% of Service fees for each period of 30 or more consecutive minutes of downtime; provided that no more than one such credit will accrue per day. Downtime shall begin to accrue as soon as Customer (with notice to New/Mode) recognizes that downtime is taking place, and continues until the availability of the Services is restored. In order to receive downtime credit, Customer must notify New/Mode in writing within 24 hours from the time of downtime, and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit. Such credits may not be redeemed for cash and shall not be cumulative beyond a total of credits for one (1) week of Service Fees in any one (1) calendar month in any event. New/Mode will only apply a credit to the month in which the incident occurred. New/Mode’s blocking of data communications or other Service in accordance with its policies shall not be deemed to be a failure of New/Mode to provide adequate service levels under this Agreement.

    2. New/Mode only provides that communications services (including but not limited to phone, fax, SMS and email) are processed correctly and delivered by New/Mode to the applicable network or server. New/Mode is not responsible for the final delivery of any communication initiated through New/Mode’s Platform Services, as this is out of New/Mode’s control and is the responsibility of the communications carrier.

    3. New/Mode transmits and receives text messages and voice broadcasts via major telecommunications companies and mobile network operators, and thus New/Mode’s influence over the timing of the transmission of Customer’s messages and broadcasts is within the technical constraints imposed upon New/Mode. While New/Mode shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transmit messages and broadcasts to the applicable network for final delivery to designated recipients as fast as possible, New/Mode cannot commit to, and do not guarantee, a specific maximum delivery time. Such times depend on various network and system-related factors among the various entities involved in the transportation of messages and broadcasts across the public switched telephone network and/or Internet. Customer should know that communications carriers assign text messages and voice broadcasts with a default lifetime and any message or broadcast that cannot be delivered successfully within the lifetime assigned to it will be discarded by the communications carrier without any notice. New/Mode is not liable for any loss incurred by the failure of a message or broadcast to be delivered, and Customer acknowledges that damages for financial or other loss resulting from delivery failure cannot be claimed from New/Mode for any such non-deliveries. Furthermore, Customer agrees that message and broadcast contents are deemed to have zero value.

  10. Professional Services. New/Mode will use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the Professional Services set out in an applicable Order Form. 

 

2. USER ACCOUNTS
  1. Upon Customer’s request, New/Mode will issue one or more administrator accounts (the “Administrator Accounts”) to Customer that provides Customer with the capability to create user accounts (each, a “Customer User Account”) for each user that Customer wishes to have access to and use of the New/Mode Platform Services (each user, and each administrator, a “Permitted User”).

  2. The Customer is responsible for identifying and authenticating all Permitted Users and for Permitted Users’ use of the New/Mode Platform Services in compliance with this Agreement. The Customer will ensure that Permitted Users only use the New/Mode Platform Services through the Customer User Account. Customer will not allow any Permitted User to share the Customer User Account with any other person. Customer will promptly notify New/Mode of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of the New/Mode Platform Services. New/Mode reserves the right to suspend, deactivate, or replace the Customer User Account if it determines that the Customer User Account may have been used for an unauthorized purpose.

  3. The Customer will ensure that all individual users of the New/Mode Platform Services, including Permitted Users, are contractually bound to terms and conditions with the Customer that are no less restrictive or protective of New/Mode’s rights than those set forth in this Agreement.

  4. Customer grants to New/Mode and its affiliates a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, sublicensable, and fully paid-up right to use and incorporate into the New/Mode Platform Services, any suggestion, enhancement request, recommendation, correction or other feedback provided by Customer or Permitted Users relating to the operation of Services or any of New/Mode’s affiliates’ services (“Feedback”).

New/Mode shall use commercially reasonable efforts to support Customer in taking the requested actions. The foregoing shall apply only where Customer has so instructed New/Mode in writing, and where Customer reimburses New/Mode for the cost and expenses incurred in providing such support (such reimbursement as set forth in Section 8.c. of the DPA).

If Customer objects in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice to a particular Sub-processor Processing Personal Data (with specific details of Customer’s reasons for objection), and that objection is not unreasonable in New/Mode’s sole determination, New/Mode will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide an alternative method for provision of the Services to Customer, without Processing Personal Data using the new Sub-processor. If no objection is received within such ten (10) day period, such Sub-Processor shall be deemed approved.
