Modulate Service Terms and Conditions
Modulate, Inc. (“Modulate”) provides its
software and services to you (“Customer”)
subject to the following terms and conditions (the “Agreement”). By clicking a box indicating Customer’s
acceptance of this Agreement and the terms of service and conditions set forth herein,
or by otherwise using or accessing the Modulate Software (or any portion thereof),
Customer agrees that it has read and is bound by this Agreement. If Customer is accepting this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity,
Customer represents that it has the authority to bind such entity to this Agreement, in
which case the term “Customer” will refer to such entity. If Customer does not have such authority, or if Customer does not agree with this
Agreement, Customer must not accept this Agreement and may not use any portion of the
Modulate Software. As used herein, “clicking,” “accepting,” “signing,” and any other
similar language, shall all refer to Customer’s acceptance of this Agreement regardless
of the specific method of consent or acceptance.
1.

introduction, the following capitalized terms will have the meanings set forth
below:

attached Exhibits when applicable.
1.2.
“Confidential Information” means any
non-public information provided by either Party to the other that is identified as

confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure,
including, without limitation, technical data, product plans, customer, user, and
financial information, algorithms and presentations, and the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all Modulate Software is Confidential Information

identifiable information, or any information from which a person could reasonably
determine the identity of its source.

resell or distribute the Modulate Software, or any component thereof, on a standalone
basis. Customer will: (a) comply with any applicable laws, rules, or regulations in
connection with its activities under this Agreement; (b) not access, modify, delete,

Modulate will stop supporting or validating the previous version of the Client Software,
with Modulate to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such notice in advance by
an amount of time that is at least the lesser value between (a) the length of the current
Initial Term or Renewal Term, or (b) three (3) months.
2.5.
Export Control Laws. The Modulate Software is subject to U.S. export control laws, including the Export

“User”). Customer shall not make available
the [Platform] to any person or entity other than Users. Customer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all secure login
information, passwords and other information related to Users’ respective accounts at all
times. Customer is responsible for its Users’
compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement as though they were Customer
hereunder and will be responsible and liable for any User’s breach of any such terms and
conditions. Customer agrees to (a) immediately notify Modulate of any unauthorized use of
Customer’s or User’s password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure
that Customer and each User exits from its account at the end of each session when
accessing the Platform. Modulate will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from
Customer’s or a User’s failure to comply with this section.
3.2.
Modifications to Service. Modulate reserves the right to modify or
discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Platform (or any part thereof) with or
without notice. Customer agrees that Modulate will not be liable to you or to any third

establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Platform, including without

behalf. Customer agrees that Modulate has no responsibility or liability for the deletion
or failure to store any data or other content maintained or uploaded by the Platform.
Customer acknowledges that Modulate reserves the right to terminate accounts that are
inactive for an extended period of time. Customer further acknowledges that Modulate
reserves the right to change these general practices and limits at any time, in its sole
discretion, with or without notice.

use commercially reasonable industry standard security measures to safeguard against
unauthorized access to and use of such personally identifiable information by any
individual, computer program, or other unauthorized user. Modulate shall promptly notify Customer of any unauthorized access and/or use of the
personally identifiable information. In addition,

(a)
Customer will defend at its expense any Claim brought against Modulate, its licensors and
each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (“Modulate Indemnified Parties”) by any third party in the United States to the extent such Claim arises out of (a) the

however, that such Modulate Indemnified Party
(x) promptly notifies Customer in writing of such Claim; (y) promptly gives Customer the
right to control and direct the investigation, preparation, defense, and settlement of
such Claim, with counsel of Customer’s own choosing (provided that Modulate shall have the
right to reasonably participate, at its own expense, in the defense or settlement of any
such Claim); and (z) gives assistance and full cooperation for the defense of same.

11. Representations and Warranties
11.3.
Modulate represents and warrants to Customer that the Modulate Software will
substantially conform with the specifications for the Modulate Software provided in
writing by Modulate to Customer, and Modulate will not include in the Modulate Software
any computer code that intentionally disrupts, disables or damages the operation of a
network or computer system or any component thereof. In the event of a breach of the foregoing warranties, Modulate’s sole obligation, and
Customer’s sole remedy, will be for Modulate to use commercially reasonable efforts to
correct the Modulate Software. If Modulate cannot,
or determines that it is not practical to, make these corrections, Modulate may terminate
the License and the price paid for the affected portions of the Modulate Software by
Customer will be refunded to Customer.
11.4.
EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH HEREIN, THE MODULATE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS
IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. FURTHER, MODULATE DOES NOT WARRANT RESULTS OR USE OR THAT THE MODULATE SOFTWARE IS
ERROR-FREE OR THAT ITS USE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED.
12.1.
Assignment.
Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement (or any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement) without the other Party’s prior written consent,
except that consent to assign will not be required in the context of a merger,
acquisition, change of control or sale of all or substantially all of a Party’s assets
to which this Agreement relates. Any attempted assignment or transfer without complying
with the preceding sentence will be void. This Agreement inures to the benefit of and is
binding upon the Parties and their respective legal representatives, successors, and
permitted assigns.
12.2.
Entire Agreement; Amendments.
This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and writings (including for clarity all
white papers and marketing materials), and constitutes the entire agreement, between the
Parties with respect to the Modulate Software. The Parties may only amend this Agreement
in a writing executed by an authorized representative of each Party. No employee, agent,
or other representative of Modulate has any authority to bind Modulate with respect to any
statement, representation, warranty, or other expression unless the same is specifically
set forth in this Agreement.
12.3.
Governing Law; Venue.
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Each of the Parties
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the sole and exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and of the United States
of America located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for any litigation among the
Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement.
12.4.
Irreparable Harm.
The Parties agree that any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement by the other
Party would cause immediate and irreparable harm to a Party hereof, the value of which
would be difficult or impossible to determine and for which monetary damages would be
inadequate compensation. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies, the Party without
breach of this Agreement will be entitled to obtain injunctive relief or specific
performance from any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any such breaches and the
Party with breach of this Agreement expressly waives: (a) the defense that monetary
damages would be adequate compensation for the other Party; (b) the defense that the harm
to the Party with breach of this Agreement and/or to others would outweigh the harm to the
Party without breach of this Agreement.
12.5.
Notices.
To be valid, all notices permitted or required under this Agreement must be sent in
writing, via certified mail, by a Party to the other Party at the address set forth in the
Order Form. Notices will be deemed given on receipt by the applicable Party.
12.6.
Relationship.
This Agreement does not confer any third-party beneficiary rights and does not create a
joint venture, agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the Parties.
Except as expressly provided herein, neither Party has the right, power, or authority to
create any obligation or duty, express or implied, on behalf of the other. There are no
intended third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
12.7.
Severability, Waiver, and Interpretation.
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, such
unenforceability or invalidity will not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as
a whole and, in such event, such provision is to be changed and interpreted so as to best
accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of
applicable law. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any
other breach. In construing or interpreting the terms of this Agreement: (a) the headings
in this Agreement are for convenience only, and are not to be considered, and (b) no
presumption is to operate in either Party’s favor as a result of its counsel’s role in
drafting this Agreement.
12.8.
Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, each of which will
be deemed an original and all of which will be construed as and constitute the same
agreement. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile and such
execution and delivery will have the same force and effect of an original document with
original signatures.
