If Client elects to use applications, integrations, add-ons, software, code, online services, systems and other products not developed by Connectly ("Third-Party Products") in connection with or otherwise made available through the Services, those products may make Third-Party Content available to Client and may access Client’s instance of the Services, including Client Data.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that Connectly has and is taking active steps to help support the compliance of its customers, including by having you agree to these Terms.

You understand and acknowledge that it is generally a violation of federal law, including the TCPA, to contact a consumer by phone, text or email without prior express written consent. Connectly is not responsible for ensuring that you do not transmit messages to consumers, including by telephone or email in violation of the consent rules.

You understand and acknowledge that it is generally a violation of the federal law of Canada, including CASL, to contact a consumer by text message, phone, electronic messaging, or email without prior express written consent.

These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California, in the United States. Connectly’s mailing address is 601 Marshall Street, Redwood City CA 94063, United States.

21. FEES AND PAYMENT.

Fees. Unless otherwise specified on the applicable Subscription Documentation, the Services are provided on an ongoing, per license subscription-basis including automatically recurring payments for periodic charges, according to the terms and conditions referenced in the Subscription Documentation ("Subscription"). Client agrees to pay to Connectly the fees for the Subscription to the Services or any Bundle ("Subscription Fees") and any additional fees (if applicable), all as set forth in the applicable Subscription Documentation (collectively, the "Fees"). Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Subscription documentation, unless Client terminates a Free Access Subscription prior to the lapse of the Free Access Subscription term, such Services will convert to a paid Subscription and Client agrees to pay Connectly the applicable Subscription Fees according to the terms of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Subscription Documentation, payment for all Fees is due within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.

Payment of Fees. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Subscription Documentation, all Subscription Fees will be paid annually in advance, though overage fees (if any) may be charged in arrears, and all references to currency set forth herein will mean U.S. dollars, with all payments hereunder to be made in U.S. dollars. Subscription Fees are non-refundable and non-creditable, except as expressly set forth in Sections 2.3 (Modification of the Services) and 8.3 (Termination for Cause). If the payment method selected on the applicable Subscription Documentation is credit card, ACH, or direct debit, Client authorizes Connectly to charge the Subscription Fees automatically, on an auto-renew basis on your Subscription Start Date (as defined below) for each subsequent Subscription Term. For the avoidance of doubt, all additional Subscription Fees for additional Services accessed by Client will be billed when the Service is first accessed by Client and automatically, on an auto-review basis on Client’s existing Subscription Start Date. The Subscription will continue unless and until you or Connectly terminate your Subscription in accordance with Section 8. You must cancel your Subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fees to your account. If Client elects to pay by credit card, then you are responsible for both (a) enabling auto-recharge on your account and (b) ensuring that your account has a sufficient positive balance to cover all Fees when due. Should Connectly be unable to process/receive the Fees when due and owing, payment shall be considered overdue. Connectly shall have the right to charge interest on all overdue amounts at the annual rate of 12%, compounded monthly, or the maximum lawful amounts, whichever is less. Additionally, after payment becomes overdue, Connectly shall have the right to immediately suspend Client’s access to the Services and/or seek to enforce Client’s payment obligations including through the use of third-party services.

Taxes. Connectly’s Fees are exclusive of all taxes, and Client must pay any applicable taxes or levies, whether domestic or foreign, other than taxes based on the income of Connectly. Client will make tax payments to Connectly to the extent amounts are included on Connectly’s invoices.

Annual Fee Increase. Connectly reserves the right to increase Fees for any Services, upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice, effective on the start date of your subsequent Subscription Term.

22. DISCLAIMERS

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED EXPRESSLY HEREIN, ALL Connectly TECHNOLOGY AND RELATED SERVICES, MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE Connectly TECHNOLOGY ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND ON AN "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS.

THE DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION WILL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN. CLIENT MAY HAVE OTHER STATUTORY RIGHTS. HOWEVER, ANY STATUTORILY REQUIRED WARRANTIES UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IF ANY, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE SHORTEST PERIOD AND MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE SERVICES OR Connectly ENTITIES OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE Connectly ENTITIES OR THE SERVICES THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. Connectly DOES NOT PROVIDE ITS CLIENTS WITH LEGAL ADVICE REGARDING DATA PRIVACY OR COMPLIANCE WITH RELEVANT LAW IN ANY JURISDICTION, AND ANY STATEMENTS MADE BY Connectly TO ITS CLIENT(S) DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL ADVICE. USE OF THE SERVICES DOES NOT GUARANTEE COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS IN ANY JURISDICTION.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL Connectly OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST OR INACCURATE DATA, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, LOST PROFITS, COSTS OF DELAY, REPUTATIONAL HARM, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, COVER, RELIANCE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, HOWEVER CAUSED, EVEN IF INFORMED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL Connectly’S OR ITS SUPPLIERS’ TOTAL LIABILITY EXCEED IN AGGREGATE THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY CLIENT TO Connectly FOR THE APPLICABLE SERVICE(S) OR RELATED SERVICE(S) IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM FOR FREE ACCESS SUBSCRIPTIONS OR BETA RELEASES PROVIDED WITHOUT CHARGE, Connectly’S TOTAL LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED IN AGGREGATE FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50.00 US). NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NONE OF THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14 EXCLUDES EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR FRAUD OR FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY A PARTY’S NEGLIGENCE. IN ADDITION, THE LAWS IN SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN THIS SECTION. IF ANY OF THESE LAWS IS FOUND TO APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THIS SECTION 14 WILL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY SUCH LAW. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS SECTION 21 IS A FUNDAMENTAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN AND A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND WILL SURVIVE AND APPLY TO ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY Connectly TECHNOLOGY OR ANY RELATED SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY IN THIS AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Data Processing Annex (DPA)

‍This Data Processing Annex applies to all processing of personal data on End-Users that Customer provides to Connectly through the Services.

Terms such as “personal data”, “processing”, “data controller”, “data processor”, “personal data breach” etc. shall have the meaning assigned to them under the applicable data protection legislation, such as the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation), except for the definition of sub-processor which explicitly excludes telecom carriers and other telecom service providers which are deemed necessary for the operation of the Services, yet, due to the fact that such parties are acting as a mere conduit or as an independent data controller, do not fall under the definition of data processor as stated in the Data Protection Legislation. Additionally, the definitions of: “controller” includes “Business”; "processor" includes “Service Provider”; “data subject” includes “Consumer”; “personal data” includes “Personal Information”; in each case as defined under the CCPA.

Connectly and Customer both acknowledge and agree that the exchange of personal data between the Parties does not form part of any monetary or other valuable consideration exchanged between the Parties with respect to the Agreement or this DPA. For the avoidance of doubt, Connectly does not sell Customer’s personal data or the personal data of end users.

Customer and Connectly both acknowledge and understand that with respect to the processing of personal data of end-users (‘data subjects’), which Customer exports to Connectly for the provision of the Services, Connectly acts as a data processor.

1. Customer hereby instructs Connectly to process data subjects’ personal data to the extent required for the performance of the Services under the Agreement.
2. Connectly shall, in relation to any personal data which is processed in connection with the Services:

1. process personal data only on documented instructions of Customer, unless otherwise required by the laws of any member of the European Union or by the laws of the European Union applicable to Connectly to process personal data;
2. only provide personnel with ‘need to know’ access to the personal data and ensure that all such personnel who have access to or process personal data are under a legal obligation to keep the personal data confidential;
3. take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, damage, alteration or disclosure. These measures shall be appropriate to the level of risk presented by the processing (and having regard to the nature of the personal data) and to the harm which might result from a personal data breach affecting the personal data;
4. provide Customer with any assistance as reasonably requested by Customer in order to allow Customer to comply with obligations of Customer under the Data Protection Legislation, including the notification of personal data breaches, security of processing and assisting Customer with the performance of any relevant data protection impact assessment;
5. provide Customer with reasonable assistance in order to allow Customer to comply with its obligations to data subjects who exercise their rights under the Data Protection Legislation. Connectly will make available technical and organizational measures to allow Customer to fulfil these obligations via the account of Customer. Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that requests sent by Customer via email are not considered as a valid means to exercise its rights and that any such requests will not be processed by Connectly. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer as the data controller is responsible for processing any request or complaint from data subjects with respect to the personal data of a data subject;
6. at Customer’s choice, delete or return personal data and copies thereof to Customer on termination of Customer’s agreement with Connectly, unless otherwise required by applicable laws;
7. maintain records as required under the Data Protection Legislation of the processing activities carried out under the Agreement and this DPA;
8. be prohibited from retaining, using, or disclosing the personal data for any purpose other than as specified in the Agreement, as set out in this DPA, or as otherwise permitted by the Data Protection Legislation, unless Connectly is required to do so due to a legal obligation, in which case it will act as a data controller;
9. not further collect, sell, or use personal data except as necessary for the fulfillment of the Agreement.
10. at least every second year, audit the security and personal data processing activities of Connectly, and provide Customer (on a confidential basis), upon its specific written request, with a summary or a description of the results of such audit. A summary of an ISO 27001:2013 audit report will be considered to fulfil the request of Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, the audit may either be an internal audit, or an audit performed by a third party, which decision shall, however, be in the sole discretion of Connectly;
11. if the summary or description of the results of the audit provided by Connectly to Customer, according to paragraph 2(j) of this DPA, gives Customer substantiated reasons to believe that Connectly is in breach of its obligations under this DPA, related to the personal data provided by Customer, allow an independent and qualified third party appointed by Customer and approved by Connectly, to audit the applicable personal data processing activities of Connectly, provided that the terms under Clause 3 of this DPA are met; and,
12. notify Customer as soon as reasonably possible if Connectly receives a notice or communication from a governmental or regulatory body which relates directly to the processing of personal data, as instructed and provided by Customer, by Connectly or its (sub-)processors, unless notifying Customer of such notice or communication is prohibited by law.

1. Customer shall:

1. notify Connectly at least two (2) months before exercising the audit right of Customer under paragraph 2(k) of this DPA:
2. ensure that any audit does not unreasonably disrupt the business operation of Connectly; and,
3. bear and pay for all costs of such an audit.

1. Customer represents and warrants that it has provided notice to the End-User that the personal data is being used or shared in accordance with the terms and conditions envisaged in Section 1798.140(t)(2)(C)(i) of the CCPA. Customer is responsible for compliance with the requirements of the CCPA applicable to it as a data controller.
2. If Customer acts as a data controller, Customer guarantees that all processing activities are lawful, have a specific purpose, and any required notices and consents or otherwise appropriate legal basis are in place to enable lawful transfer of personal data. If Customer is a data processor (in which case Connectly will act as a sub-processor, Customer ensures that the relevant data controller guarantees that the conditions listed in this clause are met.
3. Given the nature of the Services, the use of the Services by Customer and Customer’s End-Users may require the transfer of personal data outside the EEA; when the performance of the Services involves a transfer of personal data to sub-processors outside the EEA, Customer hereby gives Connectly a mandate for the term of all agreements in place between Customer and Connectly to enter into EU Model Contract Clauses with sub-processors outside the EEA on behalf of Customer, if no other appropriate transfer mechanisms under the Data Protection Legislation apply.
4. By means of this clause, Customer gives Connectly a general written authorization for the engagement of any other third parties as new sub-processors for the processing of personal data, subject to the terms of this DPA. Connectly will not engage any sub-processor in the processing of personal data under this Agreement without prior informing Customer of any intended change concerning the addition or replacement of other processors, thereby giving Customer the opportunity to object to such changes. Customer may reasonably object to Connectly’s use of a new sub- processor (where using such a new sub-processor would weaken the protections for Personal Data provided in this DPA) by notifying Connectly promptly in writing within five (5) business days’ notice period. Such notice shall explain the reasonable grounds for the objection. Where Customer objects to the new sub-processor, Connectly shall work with Customer in good faith to make available a commercially reasonable change in the provision of the Services which avoids the use of that proposed sub-processor. If Connectly is unable to make such change available within thirty (30) business days from Connectly’s receipt of Customer's notice, either party may terminate the applicable features of the services which cannot be provided by Connectly without the use of the proposed sub-processor.
5. Customer specifically agrees to the engagement of the entities listed at https://www.Connectly.com/en-gb/legal/privacy#processorList as sub-processors of Connectly for the processing of personal data. Connectly shall update the list of sub-processors when a new sub-processor for the processing of personal data is engaged.
6. Connectly will take all available and appropriate contractual measures to ensure that when a sub- processor is engaged:

1. the sub-processor will only process personal data if such processing is necessary for performance of the Services or a part thereof, and comply with the specific instructions stated in the Agreement, and;
2. data protection obligations providing similar protection as those in this DPA shall be imposed on the sub-processor by way of a contract or other legal act under EU or Member State law, in particular providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of the Data Protection Legislation.

1. Connectly remains liable to Customer under this DPA for the performance of the data protection obligations of its sub-processor.
2. Connectly hereby certifies that it understands all its contractual restrictions set out in the CCPA and will comply with them, to the extent applicable.
3. Details of the processing:

1. Subject matter and purpose of the processing: provision of the Services of Connectly to Customer.
2. Categories of personal data: information on End-Users that Customer provides to Connectly through the Services.
3. Categories of data subjects: data subjects can include customers of the Customer, employees, suppliers, and any other natural person who is the End-User of Services, from whom Customer provides personal data through the use of the Services.
4. Duration of the processing: personal data will be processed for as long as required for the performance of the Services, or as required under applicable law.
