13.2 – Assignability. Neither these Terms nor any rights under these Terms may be assigned or otherwise transferred by Subscriber, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of SellerMetrics. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.

13.3 – Subcontractors. SellerMetrics may utilize a subcontractor or other third party to perform its duties under these Terms so long as SellerMetrics remains responsible for all of its obligations under these Terms.

13.4 – Consent to Electronic Communications. By using the SellerMetrics Services, Subscriber consents to receiving certain electronic communications from SellerMetrics. Subscriber agrees that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that SellerMetrics sends to Subscriber electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that those communications be in writing.

Neither party will be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under these Terms on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by these Terms as a result of any cause or condition beyond its reasonable control, so long as that party uses all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove the causes of non-performance.

13.6 – Governing Law. These Terms will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the local laws of the State of Washington, U.S.A., without reference to its choice of law rules and not including the provisions of the 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

13.7 – Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or any breach of these Terms, will be determined by binding arbitration administered by, and in accordance with the rules of, the American Arbitration Association.

The award rendered by the arbitrators will be final and binding on the parties, and the arbitral judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 13.7 prevents either party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for equitable or injunctive relief.

13.8 – Waiver. The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of these Terms does not waive any other breach. The failure of any party to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with these Terms will not be a waiver of such party’s right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a novation of these Terms.

13.9 – Severability. If any part of these Terms is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the remaining portions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

13.10 – Privacy Policy. Please read the SellerMetrics Privacy Policy carefully for information relating to our collection, use, storage, disclosure of personal information. The SellerMetrics Privacy Policy is incorporated by this reference into, and made a part of, these Terms.

13.11 – Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the SellerMetrics Privacy Policy and any other agreement expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the final and complete expression of the agreement between these parties regarding Subscriber’s use of and SellerMetrics’s provision of the SellerMetrics Services. These Terms supersede all previous oral and written communications regarding these matters, all of which are merged into these Terms, except that these Terms do not supersede any prior nondisclosure or comparable agreement between the parties executed prior to the effective date of these Terms, nor do they affect the validity of any agreements between the parties relating to professional services relating to the SellerMetrics Services that SellerMetrics may provide. If there is a conflict between the main terms and conditions of these Terms, the Professional Services Addendum, a Statement of Work, or an Order Form, the Order Form will prevail, followed by the Statement of Work, followed by the Professional Services Addendum, followed by the main terms and conditions of these Terms.

SELLERMETRICS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ADDENDUM

This Professional Services Addendum (this “Addendum”) is an addendum to, and is hereby incorporated into the SellerMetrics Terms of Service (the “Terms”). This Addendum sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which SellerMetrics will provide consulting or other professional services to Subscriber pursuant to one or more Statements of Work (“Professional Services”). Capitalized Terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meaning given to them in the Terms.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES; STATEMENTS OF WORK; CHANGE ORDERS

1.1 – Professional Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Terms and this Addendum, SellerMetrics will perform the Professional Services. Subscriber acknowledges that SellerMetrics’s ability to provide the Professional Services may be affected if Subscriber does not provide reasonable assistance to SellerMetrics.

1.2 – Statements of Work. The specific details of the Professional Services to be performed will be described in one or more written statements of work that are executed by both parties (each, a “Statement of Work”). Once executed by both parties, each Statement of Work will be a unique agreement that incorporates the Terms and this Addendum and stands alone with respect to all other Statements of Work.

1.3 – Change Orders. Unless otherwise specified in a Statement of Work, Subscriber may reasonably request in writing that revisions be made with respect to the Professional Services or deliverables set forth in that Statement of Work (“Change Order”). If a Change Order recites revisions that materially increase the scope of the Professional Services or the effort required to deliver deliverables under the applicable Statement of Work, then within 10 business days after SellerMetrics’s receipt of the Change Order, SellerMetrics will deliver to Subscriber a written, revised Statement of Work reflecting SellerMetrics’s reasonable determination of the revised Professional Services, deliverables, delivery schedule, and payment schedule, if any, that will apply to the implementation of the revisions. If Subscriber approves the revised Statement of Work, then the parties will execute it, and upon execution, the revised Statement of Work will supersede the then-existing Statement of Work. If Subscriber does not approve the revised Statement of Work within 10 business days after its receipt by Subscriber, the then-existing Statement of Work will remain in full force and effect, and SellerMetrics will have no further obligation with respect to the applicable Change Order.

1.4 – Project Management. Each party will designate a single point of contact within its organization to manage the Professional Services (“Project Leader”). The Project Leaders will meet as necessary to manage the Professional Services. Disputes will be escalated to more senior executives, if the Project Leaders are unable to resolve a problem.

1.5 – Performance Standard. SellerMetrics will perform the Professional Services in accordance with the applicable Statement of Work, including any specifications in the Statement of Work. SellerMetrics will use reasonable efforts to complete the Professional Services, including the delivery of any deliverables, in accordance with the schedule of times and milestones specified in the applicable Statement of Work.

2.1.B – “Subscriber-Owned Deliverables” means those deliverables specifically listed as being owned by Subscriber in a Statement of Work, but excluding any Pre-Owned IP contained in or delivered with the Subscriber-Owned Deliverables.

2.1.C – “Technology” means works of authorship, designs, inventions, improvements, developments, discoveries, trade secrets, and other technology.

Upon and subject to final payment by Subscriber of all amounts owing to SellerMetrics under the applicable Statement of Work, SellerMetrics hereby assigns to Subscriber all right, title, and interest of SellerMetrics in or to the Subscriber-Owned Deliverables.

2.3 – Pre-Owned IP. If in the course of performing the Professional Services, SellerMetrics incorporates into any Subscriber-Owned Deliverable any Pre-Owned IP, SellerMetrics will grant and hereby grants to Subscriber a nonexclusive, royalty free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to reproduce, manufacture, modify, distribute, use, import, and otherwise exploit such Pre-Owned IP solely as part of or in connection with the Subscriber-Owned Deliverable.

TERM; TERMINATION
