- Prohibited Personal Data. Customer will ensure that Customer Data includes only those data elements explicitly permitted under the Everflow Privacy Policy and DPA (“Permitted Data Elements”). A current version of the Everflow Privacy Policy is available at https://www.everflow.io/legal/privacy-policy and is incorporated herein by reference. As between Customer and Everflow, Customer shall be liable for any Customer Data beyond the Permitted Data Elements, and Everflow shall have no obligations under these Service Terms or the DPA with respect to any such Customer Data. Without limiting the obligations of Customer elsewhere in these Service Terms or the DPA, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing between Customer and Everflow, Customer will not provide or make available to Everflow: (i) “special categories of personal data” under the GDPR, CCPA and CPRA; (ii) any data concerning racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, or health or sex life; (iii) any financial account information other than Customer’s own payment information; (iv) any government identification numbers; (iv) any information that Customer knows or reasonably should know concerns any individual under the age of sixteen; or (v) any data that is otherwise subject to heightened restrictions relating to the transmission or processing of data for the jurisdictions in which Customer or Everflow operate, such as (by way of example only) the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, and the standards promulgated by the PCI Security Standards Council.
- Privacy. Customer will publish, and will advise in writing to its Partners that they must publish, a privacy policy that (i) discloses and obtains consent to the usage of third-party technology and the data collection and usage resulting from the use of the Platform Services (it being understood that this clause (i) will not be deemed to require those privacy policies to expressly identify Everflow or the Platform Services, unless otherwise required by applicable law or regulation); (ii) contains a conspicuous live hyperlink to an opt-out website that provides individuals the ability to, or contains instructions as to how to, opt out of interest-based advertising; and (iii) complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
- Treatment of Customer Data. Customer is ultimately responsible for making and keeping current copies of all Customer Data and related information. Everflow will retain Customer Data subject to any time or storage limitations set forth in Everflow documentation for the Platform Services, and may delete or decline to store Customer Data older than the prescribed age for deletion, or in excess of the disclosed storage limitation. Everflow shall not disclose the Customer Data to any third party except (a) as directed by Customer (including by Customer's selection of an optional third party data integration), (b) if such disclosure is made by Everflow in response to a court order, subpoena or other legal process, and provided that Everflow has given Customer reasonable notice of such court order, subpoena or other legal process, (c) if such disclosure is made to Everflow's service providers in connection with the operation of the Platform Services, or (d) if such disclosure is in aggregate non-personally identifiable form. Everflow shall use industry standard technology and practices to secure Customer Data.

For clarification, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by the parties, all suggestions, solutions, improvements, customizations, corrections, and other contributions provided by Customer regarding the Platform Services or Everflow Materials provided hereunder shall be owned by Everflow, and Customer hereby agrees to assign any such rights to Everflow.
6. TERM AND TERMINATION
- Duration and Renewal. Customer’s right to use the Platform Services under these Service Terms shall continue for the term set forth in each Order Form ("Term").
- Termination. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order Form, and subject to any initial or minimum Term defined in an Order Form, each party shall have the right to terminate an Order Form upon thirty (30) days written notice. For clarity, the right to terminate an Order Form upon thirty (30) days written notice shall not apply until the expiration of any initial or minimum term defined in the subject Order Form. A party may terminate these Service Terms immediately for a material breach by the other party that remains uncured for more than seven (7) days from delivery of written notice of the subject breach. Your right to use the Platform Services will automatically terminate upon any termination of these Service Terms. In case of expiration or termination of an Order Form by Customer, all outstanding fees, including the full monthly fee for the then current month, shall become immediately due and payable upon notice of termination (“Outstanding Fees”). For clarification, Everflow invoices monthly in arrears on a full calendar month basis and does not prorate invoices; if your paid access to the Platform Services starts or ends in the middle of a given month, you shall be invoiced for that full calendar month. Either party may terminate this Agreement during the Term immediately if the other party undergoes a bankruptcy or otherwise becomes subject to any other insolvency proceeding.
- Survival. The following provisions will survive expiration or termination (“Termination”) of these Service Terms: Sections 1, 2, 3.3, 3.4,4, 5, 6.3, 7 (to the extent of any outstanding payments), and 10 through 14, and such other provisions that by their nature are intended to survive Termination, shall survive Termination of this Agreement.
7. FEES AND PAYMENT

In consideration for Everflow providing the Platform Services and any agreed-upon professional services (including, without limitation, Setup and Value Added Services work) as defined in the Order Form (“Professional Services”), Customer shall pay to Everflow the corresponding fees set forth in the Order Form.
- Invoices; Payment. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order Form, Everflow shall invoice Customer in arrears at the end of each calendar month for the fees accrued during such calendar month. Each invoice is due and payable thirty (30) days following the invoice date. Overdue payments will accrue interest at the lesser rate of one percent (1%) per month, or the highest rate of interest allowed by law. For clarification, in case of conflict between these Service Terms and the Order Form in regards to invoicing and payment terms, the Order Form shall prevail. All payments shall be made in US Dollars, unless otherwise specified in the Order Form. Customer is responsible for Everflow’s costs and expenses (including attorney fees) to collect past due amounts. For clarification, Everflow invoices monthly in arrears on a full calendar month basis and does not prorate invoices; if your paid access to the Platform Services starts or ends in the middle of a given month, you shall be invoiced for that full calendar month.
- Taxes. The fees specified in these Service Terms are exclusive of taxes, duties, levies, tariffs, and other governmental charges (including, without limitation, sales, services, and value-added) (collectively, "Taxes"). Customer shall be responsible for payment of all Taxes and any related interest and/or penalties resulting from any payments made hereunder, other than Everflow's U.S. federal and state income taxes.
- Non-Paying Platform Services Users. The obligations set forth in this Section 7 shall not apply to the extent Customer has been provided access to the Platform Services free of charge in furtherance of such Customer’s use of the Platform Services in connection with its relationship with another Everflow customer.
8. CONFIDENTIALITY
- Obligations. "Confidential Information" means (subject to the exclusions below) any non-public information relating to or disclosed in the course of the Platform Services that should be reasonably understood to be confidential, including without limitation Customer Data. The receiving party will use the same care to protect Confidential Information as it uses for its own similar information, but no less than reasonable care, will not disclose Confidential Information to any third party without prior written authorization of the disclosing party, and will use Confidential Information only for the purpose of fulfilling its obligations or exercising its rights expressly reserved or granted under these Service Terms. The receiving party will promptly return or destroy the other party's Confidential Information upon request.
- Exclusions. Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (ii) was already in possession of the receiving party without confidentiality restrictions at the time of receipt from the disclosing party, as evidenced by written records; or (iii) was independently developed by the receiving party without violation of this Section 8. If a receiving party is required to disclose Confidential Information by law, regulation, or legal process, the receiving party will not be in violation of this Section 8 on account of making the required disclosure.
9. SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
If Customer's subscription includes service-level commitments, and the Order Form accordingly specifies that Everflow's SLA applies, Customer will be entitled to the commitments and remedies set forth in such SLA as attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference to or referenced in the Order Form. The remedies expressly provided in the SLA are Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, and Everflow's entire obligation, with respect to any service-level violation.

THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE OBLIGATION OF EVERFLOW WITH RESPECT TO ANY ALLEGED OR ACTUAL INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY THE PLATFORM SERVICES. Everflow shall have no liability under this Section 11.1 to the extent that any Claims are based on (i) any combination of the Platform Services with products, services, methods, content or other elements not authorized in writing by Everflow, (ii) modification or maintenance of the Platform Services by a party other than Everflow; or (iii) any use of the Platform Services in a manner that violates these Service Terms, documentation, instructions or materials (including Everflow Materials) given to Customer by Everflow.
- Mitigation Measures. In the event of any Claim or potential Claim covered by Section 11.1, Everflow may, in its discretion, seek to mitigate the impact of such Claim by modifying the Platform Services to make them non-infringing, and/or by suspending or terminating Customer's use of the Platform Services upon reasonable notice to Customer (provided, in the case of such suspension or termination, that Everflow will refund to Customer a portion of fees prepaid by Customer for the then-current subscription period, prorated to the portion of that subscription period that is affected by the suspension or termination).
- Indemnification by Customer. Customer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Everflow and its shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents, and its and their respective successors and assigns against any Claims arising from or related to (i) a breach of any of Customer’s representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement; (ii) any Customer Data; or (iii) the use of the Platform Services by Customer, Authorized Users, or Partners in violation of these Service Terms or any applicable Everflow documentation, instructions or materials (including Everflow Materials). Customer-indemnified Claims include, without limitation, Claims resulting from your advertising practices, actions or omissions, or those of your affiliate network Partners (including those advertising practices, actions or omissions related to Managed Proxy IP Service and your corresponding dedicated IP addresses, and Administered Domains), and any Claims brought by, or in connection with the actions or omissions of, Third Party Integration Providers.
- Procedures. Each party's indemnity obligations are subject to the following: (i) the aggrieved party will promptly notify the indemnifier in writing of the applicable Claim; (ii) the indemnifier will have sole control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations with respect to the Claim (provided that the indemnifier may not settle any Claim in a manner that would impair any of the indemnified party's rights or interests without prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld); and (iii) the indemnified party will, at the indemnifier's expense, provide all cooperation, information and assistance reasonably requested by the indemnifier for the defense of such Claim. Any delay or failure of the indemnified party to provide notice here under shall only relieve the indemnifier of its obligations hereunder to the extent, if at all, that it is actually prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
- Waiver of Certain Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR INFORMATION, OR COSTS OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF THESE SERVICE TERMS OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

14. MISCELLANEOUS
- Assignment. Customer may not assign the Agreement without Everflow’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may assign these Service Terms together with all Order Forms (and subject to any usage limitations therein) upon written notice to Everflow: (i) to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, Customer, where "control" means direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 50% of the voting interest of the subject entity; or (ii) to any entity acquiring Customer, with which Customer is merging, or to which Customer sells all or substantially all of its assets. Everflow shall have the right to increase amounts charged to Customer in the event of any assignment by Customer that either increases the cost of providing the Platform Services or by virtue of a change in taxes to be paid, reduces the amount received by Everflow. Any attempt to assign the Agreement except as permitted under this Section, will be null and of no effect. Subject to the foregoing, these Service Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of each party's successors and permitted assigns.
- Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure in performance (other than non-payment of amounts owing) due to causes beyond its reasonable control.
- Compliance. The parties agree to comply with all applicable international, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, privacy and data security laws, and export laws.

If any part of these Service Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid, in whole or in part, by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of these Service Terms will remain in full force and effect, and the provision affected will be construed so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permissible by law.
- Waiver. No forbearance or delay by either party in exercising or enforcing the provisions of the Agreement shall prejudice or restrict the rights (whether provided by the Agreement or by law) of that party. The waiver of a breach of any provision of these Service Terms will not operate or be interpreted as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach of that or any other provision.
- Notices. All notices permitted or required under these Service Terms shall be in writing, will reference these Service Terms, and shall be delivered in person, by overnight courier or express delivery service, or by first class, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by confirmed email delivery, to the address of the party specified on the Order Form or such other address as either party may specify in writing. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt.

Everflow may change these Service Terms, the Order Form or its policies from time to time (“Revised Version”), in which case we will post the subject Revised Version to our website at the same URL or location as the prior version. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, your continued use of the Platform Services means that you have agreed to the subject Revised Version.

Neither party shall have any authority to incur any obligations on behalf of the other party or to make any promise, representation or contract of any nature on behalf of the other party.

EXHIBIT A
Everflow Service Level Agreement
This Everflow Service Level Agreement ("SLA") supplements the Service Terms together with the Order Form(s) to which they are attached or incorporated, between Everflow and Customer that incorporate this SLA by reference (the "Agreement"). All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement. This SLA terminates or expires upon any termination or expiration of the Agreement.
1. SERVICE AVAILABILITY
- "Downtime" means any period during which all Platform Services cease to function and are therefore unavailable for access by Customer, calculated as a percentage of the total time during a calendar month.
- "Excused Downtime" means any Downtime that: (a) occurs during a Scheduled Maintenance Period; (b) occurs during any suspension of Customer's access to the Platform Services as permitted under the Agreement; (c) occurs during any period in which Customer is in breach of the Agreement (including while any payments by Customer are overdue); (d) results from Everflow’s cloud hosting provider Google LLC; or (e) results from the actions or omissions of Customer or third parties acting on Customer's behalf or from any cause beyond Everflow's reasonable control.
- "Scheduled Maintenance Period" means any pre-scheduled time period during which Everflow performs maintenance on the Platform Services. The regularly scheduled time for maintenance is presently 9 p.m. to 12.00 a.m. PST/PDT, and may be used by Everflow without advance notification. Everflow may expand these scheduled times upon one (1) day's advance notice. Everflow may change the regularly scheduled time for maintenance by amending this SLA upon ten (10) business days' written notice delivered either by email or through a notice on the Platform Services.
- "Target Downtime" means Downtime, excluding Excused Downtime, of 0.1% of the total time in any calendar month.
- In the event that Everflow in its sole discretion determines that any unscheduled maintenance is necessary, Everflow will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer.
- For any calendar month in which the Downtime for the Platform Services exceeds the Target Downtime, Everflow will, if and only if Customer delivers a written credit request within thirty (30) days of the end of the relevant calendar month, issue Customer a service credit calculated as a percentage of the fees due from Customer for such calendar month equal to two (2) times the difference between the Target Downtime and the Downtime percentage. The maximum service credit for any calendar month under this SLA shall not exceed the fees payable for such calendar month.
- This SLA describes your sole remedy, and our entire obligation, if we exceed the Target Downtime. This SLA does not diminish or override the disclaimer of warranties in the Agreement to which this SLA is attached (except as expressly stated therein).
