Mobile Action does not provide any aspect of the Third Party Applications and in no event will Mobile Action be responsible for any errors or bugs in the Subscription Services or Third Party Applications caused in whole or in part by the Third Party Applications, or for any failure of a Third Party Application to properly interoperate with the Subscription Services. If Mobile Action receives information that a Third Party Application may violate any Applicable Laws or third-party rights, Subscriber will, promptly upon receiving notice of the foregoing from Mobile Action, disable any connection between such Third Party Application and the Subscription Services to resolve the potential violation (and if Subscriber fails to promptly disable such connection, Mobile Action shall have the right to do so).
3. Additional Services.
(a) Access to Documentation. Mobile Action will provide Subscriber via the Website or other means with access to the Documentation, as may be updated from time to time. Subscriber may print a reasonable number of copies of, use, and permit its Designated Affiliates and Authorized Users to use, the Documentation solely in connection with the use of the Subscription Services. Subscriber will not, and will not permit any other person to, remove any copyright, trademark or other notices from any copies of the Documentation.
(b) Professional Services. Subject to Subscriber’s cooperation and assistance in accordance with Section 4(b) Mobile Action will provide the Professional Services described in one or more Statements of Work entered into by the Parties under this Agreement. Any Professional Services to be provided by Mobile Action to Subscriber will be set forth in a statement of work that references this Agreement (each, a “Statement of Work”). Each Statement of Work will describe the Professional Services to be provided by Mobile Action, the fees to be paid by Subscriber for such Professional Services, and any other terms and conditions that may be agreed to by the Parties with respect to such Professional Services. Each Statement of Work will be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. To the extent any provision set forth in a Statement of Work conflicts with any provision set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, the provision set forth elsewhere in this Agreement will control. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a Statement of Work, if any Professional Services involve the development of any customization to the Subscription Services, all rights to such customization will be owned by Mobile Action and will be deemed to be included in the definition of Subscription Services and licensed to Subscriber on the terms set forth herein.
4. Subscriber Responsibilities.
(a) Subscriber Infrastructure. Subscriber, its Affiliates and Authorized Users will be responsible for obtaining and maintaining their respective internet and other network connections and telecommunications links, and other third party software, services, and related hardware, and infrastructure necessary for it to access the Services.
(b) Professional Services Support. In connection with the provision of Professional Services (if any), Subscriber will: (i) provide timely access to appropriate Subscriber personnel who will promptly grant approvals and otherwise make any necessary decisions; and (ii) perform Subscriber’s duties set forth in the applicable Statement of Work (if any), in each case through qualified personnel who are capable of performing Subscriber’s duties and tasks under the Agreement. All materials and information provided by Subscriber to Mobile Action will be reliable, adequate and accurate for the purpose of performing its obligations pursuant to this Agreement and each Statement of Work, and Mobile Action will not be required to independently test, verify or audit such information.
5. Fees and Payment Terms.
(a) Fees. Subscriber will pay Mobile Action subscription fees as set forth in the applicable Service Agreement (the “Subscription Fees”) and other rates and amounts set forth in the applicable Service Agreement and/or Statements of Work (together with the Subscription Fees, the “Fees”) without offset or deduction. Mobile Action will issue invoices to Subscriber during the Term as set forth in the applicable Service Agreement, and Subscriber will pay all amounts set forth on such invoice as set forth in the applicable Service Agreement. All payments of Fees are non-refundable.
(b) Payments. All amounts stated in this Agreement or on any invoice are in U.S. dollars, and all payments will be made in U.S. dollars. Subscriber agrees to pay all fees via credit card or other approved payment methods. Subscriber authorizes Mobile Action to charge the provided credit card for all applicable fees on a recurring basis, in accordance with the billing cycle outlined in this agreement. In the event of a declined payment, Mobile Action will notify the subscriber and may suspend services until payment is successfully processed. All payments are non-refundable and neither Party will have the right to set off, discount or otherwise reduce or refuse to pay any amounts due to the other Party under this Agreement. Late payments will accrue interest at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum allowable interest under applicable law, from due date until paid. Subscriber will reimburse Mobile Action for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in collecting any late payments or interest.
Subscriber agrees to pay any applicable Subscription Fees as set forth in the applicable Service Agreement or made known to Subscriber during registration. A valid credit card is required for paying accounts, and credit card validation is required for free trial accounts; however, Subscriber’s credit card will not be charged until immediately after the expiration of the Trial Period (as defined below). Mobile Action may use a third-party service provider (“Third-Party Service Provider”) to process payments. Subscriber warrants and represents to such Third-Party Service Provider that Subscriber is the valid owner or an authorized user of the credit card provided to process payment and that all information provided is accurate. Mobile Action reserves the right to change any Fees or institute new or additional Fees at any time upon notice to Subscriber.
If billing is carried out on a pay-per-use basis (e.g., billing on an App, Keyword, or Ad Spend basis), the amount due will be calculated for each month according to the agreed pricing scheme. The amount due will be calculated based on the day of the month on which Subscriber’s usage of the Services was at its maximum total.
In the event of a default on a due payment, Mobile Action may, without affecting its other rights, postpone the fulfillment of its obligations until completion of such payment and claim an appropriate extension to the performance deadline.
Subscriber agrees to notify Mobile Action via email of any invoice dispute within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the invoice (the “Invoice Dispute Period”). Invoice disputes shall be emailed to [email protected] and shall include detailed reason(s) for the dispute. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Subscriber waives all claims relating to the Services and Fees unless claimed or asserted within the Invoice Dispute Period. For the avoidance of doubt, if Subscriber fails to dispute an invoice within the Invoice Dispute Period, Subscriber acknowledges that the invoice will be considered payable in full and “as is.” In the event that Subscriber contracts with a third party to process invoices on its behalf, Subscriber will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such third party with the requisite information and/or authorization to facilitate timely payment to Mobile Action. Furthermore, Subscriber agrees that its obligation to make timely payments and/or to notify Mobile Action of invoice disputes in a timely manner will neither be lessened nor excused due to the actions of such third parties.
(c) Taxes. All Fees and other amounts stated in the Service Agreement are exclusive of, and all sales, use, ad valorem and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, multinational or local government regulatory authority on any amount (“Taxes”). Subscriber will pay all Taxes on any Fees or other amounts payable by Subscriber to Mobile Action hereunder, provided that Subscriber is not responsible for income taxes and payroll taxes relating to Mobile Action’s employees. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that Subscriber is required to deduct or withhold any Taxes from the amounts payable to Mobile Action hereunder, Subscriber will pay an additional amount, so that Mobile Action receives the amounts due to it hereunder in full, as if there were no withholding or deduction.
(d) Subscription Trial Period. Subscriber’s initial Subscription to the Services may include a free trial period that will last for a period of seven (7) days (the “Trial Period”), unless otherwise specified in the applicable Service Agreement. Upon expiration of the Trial Period, the Subscription will automatically commence, subject to payment of applicable Subscription Fees as set forth in the applicable Service Agreement. Subscriber may cancel the Subscription at any time during the Trial Period by accessing their billing page on the MobileAction platform and selecting the “Cancel Subscription” button, and the cancellation will take effect within twenty-four (24) hours. Mobile Action reserves the right to terminate, reduce, or modify the scope, usage, or availability of the Trial Period, or discontinue the offering of Trial Periods entirely, at its sole discretion and at any time. Mobile Action assumes no liability for such termination, reduction, modification, or discontinuance of the Trial Period. Mobile Action may terminate, suspend, or modify the Trial Period without notice to Subscriber or any third party.

Mobile Action will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Subscriber and its Authorized Users, Designated Affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, managers, shareholders, members and employees from any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expert and consulting fees) in connection with any third party claim that the use of the Subscription Services in accordance with this Agreement infringes or misappropriates intellectual property or proprietary rights of third party; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations shall be subject to Subscriber (x) promptly notifying Mobile Action of the claim, and (y) providing Mobile Action with reasonable cooperation in the defense of the claim when Subscriber becomes aware. Mobile Action will have sole control over the defense and negotiations for a settlement or compromise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mobile Action shall have no obligation with respect to a third party claim to the extent the third party claim arises from: (i) use of the Subscription Services in combination with modules, apparatus, hardware, software, or services not authorized by Mobile Action or contemplated for use with the Documentation for the Subscription Services; (ii) Subscriber’s breach of this Agreement, negligence, willful misconduct or fraud, (iii) any Subscriber Data, (iv) Subscriber’s failure to use any enhancements, modifications, or updates to the Subscription Services that have been provided by Mobile Action, (v) use of the Subscription Services in a manner that is not in accordance with this Agreement or the Documentation; (vi) the alteration or modification of the Subscription Services by a party other than Mobile Action, unless such alterations and modifications were authorized by Mobile Action or contemplated for use with the Subscription Services.
(b) Indemnification by Subscriber. Subscriber will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Mobile Action and its Affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, managers, shareholders, members and employees from any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expert and consulting fees) in connection with any third party claim arising from or relating to (i) any allegation that any data, information or materials provided by Subscriber hereunder, including, without limitation, the Subscriber Data, when used in connection with the Subscription Services: (A) infringes or misappropriates any intellectual property or proprietary rights of a third party, or (B) violates any Applicable Laws; (ii) Subscriber’s actual or alleged violation of Applicable Law, or breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations shall be subject to Mobile Action (x) promptly notifying Subscriber of the claim, and (y) providing Subscriber with reasonable cooperation in the defense of the claim. Subscriber will have sole control over the defense and negotiations for a settlement or compromise, provided that Subscriber may not settle any claim without Mobile Action’s prior written approval unless the settlement is for a monetary amount, unconditionally releases Mobile Action from all liability without prejudice, does not require any admission by Mobile Action, and does not place restrictions upon Mobile Action’s business, products or services. Mobile Action may participate in the defense or settlement of any such claim at its own expense and with its own choice of counsel or, if Subscriber refuses to fulfill its obligation of defense, the Mobile Action may defend itself and seek reimbursement from the Subscriber.
(c) IP Remedies. If Mobile Action believes the Subscription Services (or any component thereof) do or could infringe any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, Mobile Action may, at its sole option and expense use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) modify or replace the Subscription Services, or any component or part thereof, to make it non-infringing; or (ii) procure the right for Subscriber to continue use in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Mobile Action determines that neither alternative is commercially practicable, Mobile Action may terminate this Agreement, in its entirety or with respect to the affected component, by providing written notice to Subscriber.
14. Miscellaneous Provisions.

Unless otherwise specified herein, all notices and other communications between the Parties required or permitted by this Agreement or by applicable law, will be deemed properly given, if given by (i) personal service, (ii) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (iii) nationally recognized private courier service or (iv) email, to the respective addresses of the Parties set forth in the Service Agreement, provided when Subscriber signed up for the Services or such other addresses as the respective Parties may designate by like notice from time to time.

(b) Relationship Of The Parties. Each Party is an independent contractor of the other Party. Nothing in this Agreement will constitute or be construed to establish a partnership between or joint venture by the Parties, or constitute either Party the agent of the other. Neither Party will have the power or authority to bind the other or incur any obligations on the other’s behalf without the other Party’s prior written consent.
(c) Non-Exclusivity. The Parties agree that this Agreement does not create an exclusive relationship between the Parties. Mobile Action may provide the Subscription Services to any competitor of Subscriber without the prior express written consent of Subscriber. Subscriber may purchase any services from any supplier of its selection regardless of whether the services are similar to those provided under this Agreement.
(d) Assignment. Subscriber may not assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without Mobile Action’s prior written consent. For purposes of this Agreement, a Change of Control of Subscriber is deemed to be an assignment of this Agreement. Mobile Action may, without the consent of the Subscriber, freely assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement . Any assignment or other transfer in violation of this Section will be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.
(e) Force Majeure. Except with respect to failure to pay any amount due under this Agreement, nonperformance of either Party will be excused to the extent that performance is rendered impossible by strike, fire, flood, governmental acts, orders or restrictions, failure of suppliers, or any other reason where failure to perform is beyond the control and not caused by the negligence of the non-performing Party.
(f) Choice of Law. This Agreement, and any disputes directly or indirectly arising from or relating to this Agreement, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
