Customer acknowledges and agrees that the amount billed and charged each month may vary depending on Customer's usage of the Services and may include adjustments to monthly subscription fee, upgrade fees, one-time service fees, additional usage charges, taxes and other fees as described above.
b. Foreign Transaction Fees. Customer acknowledges that for certain Recurring Payment Methods, the provider/issuer may charge a foreign transaction fee or other charges.
c. Invalid Payment.

Any MYCS.ai Technology, performance information relating to any Service, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement will be deemed Confidential Information of MYCS.ai without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will (1) hold in confidence and not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties and (2) not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than fulfilling its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors and other representatives having a legitimate need to know (including, for MYCS.ai, the subcontractors referenced in Section 16 (Subcontractors)), provided that such representatives are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective of the Disclosing Party than this Section 14 and that the Receiving Party remains responsible for compliance by any such representative with the terms of this Section 14. The Receiving Party's confidentiality obligations will not apply to information that the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information. The Receiving Party may make disclosures to the extent required by law or court order, provided the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment. The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.
15. Publicity
MYCS.ai may, upon Customer's prior written consent, use Customer's name to identify Customer as an MYCS.ai customer of the Services, including on MYCS.ai's public website. MYCS.ai agrees that any such use shall be subject to MYCS.ai complying with any written guidelines that Customer may deliver to MYCS.ai regarding the use of its name and shall not be deemed Customer's endorsement of the Services.
16. General Terms
Assignment
This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party's permitted successors and assigns. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the advance written consent of the other party, except that either party may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, reorganization, acquisition or other transfer of all or substantially all of such party's assets or voting securities. Any attempt to transfer or assign this Agreement except as expressly authorized under this Section 16 will be null and void.
Severability
If any provision of this Agreement will be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in effect.
Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.
a) Direct Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising from or relating to this Agreement, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, (“Dispute"), the parties shall first use their best efforts to resolve the Dispute. If a Dispute arises, the complaining party shall provide written notice to the other party in a document specifically entitled “Initial Notice of Dispute,” specifically setting forth the precise nature of the dispute (“Initial Notice of Dispute"). If an Initial Notice of Dispute is being sent to MYCS.ai it must be emailed to legal @ mycs.ai and sent via mail to:
Attn: Legal Department MYCS.ai
Following receipt of the Initial Notice of Dispute, the parties shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interest, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution of the Dispute that is satisfactory to both parties (“Direct Dispute Resolution"). If the parties are unable to reach a resolution of the Dispute through Direct Dispute Resolution within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Initial Notice of Dispute, then the Dispute may subsequently be resolved in a court of law as set forth below.
b) Choice of Law and Jurisdiction. FOR ANY CLAIM WHICH IS NOT SUBJECT TO THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION, CUSTOMER AGREES TO SUBMIT AND CONSENT TO THE PERSONAL AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION IN, AND THE EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF, THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED WITHIN SHERIDAN COUNTY, WYOMING. IN ANY DISPUTE, WYOMING LAW SHALL APPLY.
c) Construction and Joinder. THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE CONSTRUED AS IF IT WAS JOINTLY WRITTEN BY BOTH PARTIES. BOTH CUSTOMER AND MYCS.ai AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS. NO ARBITRATION OR CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE SERVICES, AND NO CLASS ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE PERMITTED. IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE CONCERNING THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION, SUCH CLAIM MUST BE ADJUDICATED BY A COURT AND NOT BY AN ARBITRATOR.
d) Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the above provisions, MYCS.ai may apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
Notice
Any notice or communication required or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing to the parties at the addresses set forth on the Subscription or at such other address as may be given in writing by either party to the other in accordance with this Section and will be deemed to have been received by the addressee (i) if given by hand, immediately upon receipt; (ii) if given by overnight courier service, the first business day following dispatch (iii) if given by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, the second business day after such notice is deposited in the mail; or (iv) if given by email on the first business day after we send it. You agree that any electronic communication satisfies any applicable legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.
Amendments
Waivers. Except as provided under “Modifications to this Agreement” and otherwise provided herein, no supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement will be binding, unless executed in writing by a duly authorized representative of each party to this Agreement. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under this Agreement, nor will any waiver be effective unless in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative on behalf of the party claimed to have waived. No provision of any purchase order or other business form employed by Customer that may be referenced in the Subscription or otherwise issued by Customer will supersede or modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement (regardless of any statement to the contrary in such document), and any such document relating to this Agreement will be for Customer's convenience and administrative purposes only and will have no legal effect.
Entire Agreement
This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements and communications relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that the Services are on-line, subscription-based products, and that in order to provide improved customer experience MYCS.ai may make changes to the Services, and MYCS.ai will update the applicable Documentation accordingly. The support and service level availability terms described in the Security Policy, the Support Policy, and the SLA may be updated from time to time upon reasonable notice to Customer to reflect process improvements or changing practices (but the modifications will not materially decrease MYCS.ai's obligations as compared to those reflected in such terms as of the Effective Date).
Force Majeure
Neither party will be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (except for a failure to pay fees) if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events that occur after the signing of this Agreement and that are beyond the reasonable control of such party, such as a strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, failure or diminishment of power or telecommunications or data networks or services, or refusal of a license by a government agency.
Subcontractors
MYCS.ai may use the services of subcontractors and permit them to exercise the rights granted to MYCS.ai in order to provide the Services under this Agreement, provided that MYCS.ai remains responsible for (i) compliance of any such subcontractor with the terms of this Agreement,(ii) for the overall performance of the Services as required under this Agreement, and (iii) compliance with the terms of the DPA.
Subpoenas
Nothing in this Agreement prevents MYCS.ai from disclosing Customer Data to the extent required by law, subpoenas, or court orders, but MYCS.ai will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer where permitted to do so.
Independent Contractors
The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors. There is no relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency created hereby between the parties. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other party's behalf without the other party's prior written consent
Export Control and Economic Sanctions
Each party: (i) agrees to comply with all export control and economic sanctions and any relevant import laws and regulations of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions, and (ii) represents and warrants that it is not listed on any U.S. or other government list of prohibited or restricted parties or located in (or a national of) a country that is subject to a U.S. government export control embargo or economic sanctions. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) Customer will not (and will not permit any of its users to) access or use the Services in violation of any U.S. export control or economic sanction, prohibition or restriction, and (b) Customer will not submit to the Services any information that is controlled under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations or that is controlled under any Export Control Classification Number (other than EAR99) on the Commerce Control List of the Export Administration Regulations.

If Customer or end user of the Services is an agency, department, or other entity of the United States Government, then the use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer of the Services, or any related documentation of any kind, including technical data and manuals, is restricted by the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 12.212 (Computer Software) for civilian purposes and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 227.7202 (Rights in Commercial Computer Software or Commercial Computer Software Documentation) for military purposes. All Services were developed fully at private expense.
