12. Term and Termination

  1. Term. This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and shall continue in force and effect until terminated in accordance with this Agreement (“Term”). Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not terminate any existing Orders, and the terms of this Agreement shall survive for purposes of governing such Orders. No new Orders or Order renewals may be entered into under this Agreement by the Parties after expiration or termination of this Agreement.
  2. Order Term. The term for each Order will commence on the effective date of the Order and will continue for the subscription term referenced in the Order (“Initial Order Term”). Thereafter, for Orders with an Order Term of 12 months or less, the term for each Order will renew automatically for additional periods as stated in the Order (“Renewal Order Term”) unless one party notifies the other in writing at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance of the end of the then current Order Term of its intention not to renew. The Initial Order Term and Renewal Order Terms are referred to collectively as the “Order Term”. Termination or expiration of a particular Order does not terminate any other Order.
  3. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement or any Order thereunder upon written notice if the other party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to correct the breach within thirty (30) days following written notice specifying the breach.
  4. Rights and Obligations Upon Expiration or Termination. Upon expiration or termination of an applicable Order, Customer’s and its Authorized Users’ right to access and use the Services will immediately terminate, Customer and its Authorized Users will immediately cease all use of the Services, and each party will return or destroy, and make no further use of any Confidential Information, materials, or other items (and all copies thereof) belonging to the other party.

Zeplin may retain any Customer Data in its ordinary back-ups subject to its ordinary deletion practices, provided that such Customer Data is put beyond use or not otherwise reasonably accessible. Upon expiration or termination of an applicable Order, Zeplin will cease use of any Customer Marks that Zeplin had been granted prior permission for use thereof; provided, however, that (i) Zeplin will have a reasonable time to remove the Customer Marks from promotional materials, (ii) Zeplin will be entitled to exhaust materials printed during the Term that include the Customer Marks, and (iii) Zeplin will not be required to remove any such printed materials from circulation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer’s right to use the Services under a particular Order is based upon the terms and conditions of that Order in addition to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Zeplin and Customer hereby agree to submit to the jurisdiction of, and agree that venue is proper in, those courts in any such legal action or proceeding.
  2. Waiver; Severability. The waiver by either party of any default or breach of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach. In the event any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
  3. Notices. All notices, including notices of address change, required to be sent hereunder will be in writing and will be sent to the addresses set forth above; delivered in person; or sent by email to the Designated POC as listed in Section 14. The notices will be deemed to have been given upon: (a) the date actually delivered in person; (b) the day after the date sent by overnight courier; (c) three (3) days following the date such notice was mailed by first class mail; or (d) at the time when the email is accepted by the receiving party’s email system.
  4. Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder (except for the payment of money) on account of events beyond the reasonable control of such party, which may include without limitation denial-of-service attacks, strikes, shortages, riots, insurrection, fires, flood, storm, explosions, acts of God, war, terrorism, governmental action, labor conditions, earthquakes and material shortages (each a “Force Majeure Event”). Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the non-performing party will be excused from any further performance of its obligations effected by the Force Majeure Event for so long as the event continues and such party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance.
  5. Compliance with Laws. Each party agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to its activities hereunder, including, but not limited to, any export laws and regulations of the United States.
  6. Relationship Between the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between the parties. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or to incur obligations on the other’s behalf without such other party’s prior written consent.
  7. Assignment. Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, either party may assign this Agreement in its entirety (including all Orders), without the other party’s consent to its Affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, upon written notice. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 13(g) will be null and void. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.
  8. Affiliates. A Customer Affiliate may enter into an Order under this Agreement and, in such case, by entering into the Order, the Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to such Order and such Affiliate will be considered to be Customer, as such term is used herein, with respect to such Order. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties who have entered into an Order under this Agreement and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.
  9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, and the exhibits attached hereto (including any Order and Addenda), constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between the parties concerning its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, written or oral, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative of each party.
  10. Conflict. In the event of an inconsistency between an Order and this Agreement, the terms of the Order will prevail to the extent of such inconsistency. In the event of a conflict between any addendum to this Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will prevail, unless otherwise specifically provided in the addendum by referring to the provision of this Agreement that the addendum overrides. Any additional or different terms or conditions issued by Customer in any purchase order are hereby rejected by Zeplin and this Agreement supersedes any additional or different terms proposed by Customer in a purchase order or similar document, except as otherwise separately agreed in writing by Zeplin.
  11. Counterparts; Headings. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will constitute an original, and all of which will constitute one and the same instrument. The headings in this Agreement are for the convenience of reference only and have no legal effect.
