If Customer exceeds any user or usage limitations set forth on an Order Form, then (i) Conduit shall invoice Customer for such additional users or usage at the overage rates set forth on the Order Form (or if no overage rates are set forth on the Order Form, at Conduit’s then-current standard overage rates for such usage), in each case on a pro-rata basis from the first date of such excess usage through the end of the Order Form Initial Term or then-current Order Form Renewal Term (as applicable), and (ii) if such Order Form Term renews (in accordance with the section entitled “Term; Termination”, below, such renewal shall include the additional fees for such excess Authorized Users and usage.

If Customer is a controller or processor of personal data subject to (i) the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (the “EU GDPR”) and the EU GDPR as it forms part of the law of England and Wales by virtue of section 3 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the “UK GDPR” and, collectively with the EU GDPR, the “GDPR”), (ii) a controller or processor of personal data subject to the  Virginia Data Consumer Data Protection Act (the “VCDPA”), or (iii) is a business or service provider of personal information subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the “CCPA”), then the Data Processing Addendum located at https://conduit.xyz/dpa (as amended from time to time) (the “DPA”) applies and is hereby included and incorporated into this Agreement.  

   5. Customer agrees and acknowledges that Customer Data may be irretrievably deleted if Customer’s account is ninety (90) days or more delinquent.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Services may operate on, with or using application programming interfaces (APIs) and/or other services operated or provided by third parties (e.g., other vendors of Customer) (“Third Party Integrations”), (ii) the availability and operation of the Services or certain portions thereof may be dependent on Conduit’s ability to access such Third Party Integrations, and (iii) Customer’s failure to provide adequate access or any retraction of permissions relating to such Third Party Integrations may result in a suspension or interruption of the Services.

Any exchange of data or other interaction between Customer and a third party provider is solely between Customer and such third party provider and is governed by such third party’s terms and conditions.

11. Open Source Components. Certain aspects of the Services, such as the Client-Side Software, may contain or be distributed with open source software code or libraries (“Open Source Components”). Conduit will provide a list of Open Source Components for a particular version of any distributed portion of the Services, such as the Client-Side Software, on Customer’s request. To the extent required by the license applicable to such Open Source Components: (i) Conduit will use reasonable efforts to deliver to Customer any notices or other materials (such as source code); and (ii) the terms of such licenses will apply to such Open Source Components in lieu of the terms of this Agreement. To the extent the terms of such licenses prohibit any of the restrictions in this Agreement with respect to any particular Open Source Component, such restrictions will not apply to such Open Source Component. To the extent the terms of such licenses require Conduit to make an offer to provide source code or related information in connection with the Open Source Component, such offer is hereby made.

12. Term; Termination. 

    1. This Agreement shall commence upon the date of the first Order Form, and, unless earlier terminated in accordance herewith, shall last until the expiration of all Order Form Terms.

Without limiting the foregoing, Conduit may terminate, suspend or limit Customer’s and any Authorized User’s access to or use of the Services if (i) Customer’s or any Authorized User’s account is more than sixty (60) days past due, or (ii) Customer’s or any Authorized User’s use of the Services results in (or is reasonably likely to result in) damage to or material degradation of the Services which interferes with Conduit’s ability to provide access to the Services to other customers; provided that in the case of subsection (ii):  (a) prior to any such suspension or limitation, Conduit shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to Customer describing the nature of the damage or degradation; and (b) Conduit shall reinstate Customer’s use of or access to the Services, as applicable, if Customer remediates the issue within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice. In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Conduit may terminate this Agreement and any current Order Forms for any reason by providing Customer with ten (10) days prior written notice.
