The services may include subscription-based service levels, onboarding support, documentation preparation, application filing assistance, documentation review, workflow coordination, and related administrative support services, as specified in the applicable Order or statement of work. The services are provided as general business tools and administrative support services only. Customer acknowledges that Customer is solely responsible for determining the suitability of the services for Customer’s specific business purposes, licensing needs, and regulatory requirements. This Agreement also includes any updates, upgrades, enhancements, and modifications to the services provided by COMPANY. This Agreement includes each Order, the COMPANY’s Policies as published on COMPANY’s website from time to time, provided that COMPANY shall provide Customer with written notice of material changes to such policies at least thirty (30) days before such changes become effective, the Product-Specific Terms, and any other terms expressly referenced in an Order. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer is responsible for ensuring that Customer’s use of the services complies with all applicable laws and regulations governing Customer’s business operations. COMPANY’s role is limited to providing the services described in the applicable Order or statement of work and does not include legal advice, tax advice, accounting advice, regulatory interpretation, compliance consulting, or any representation that Customer, its agents, users, or other personnel are properly licensed, certified, registered, or otherwise authorized. For enterprise or other large-scale engagements, COMPANY may conduct an operational capacity review before confirming the applicable scope, timeline, and pricing in an Order or written amendment signed by the parties, and any resulting adjustments will become effective only upon mutual written agreement. Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless COMPANY, its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, actions, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation) arising from or related to Customer’s failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, except to the extent such failure results from COMPANY’s breach of this Agreement, provided that COMPANY (i) provides Customer with prompt written notice of such claim, (ii) provides Customer with reasonable cooperation in the defense at Customer’s expense, and (iii) grants Customer sole control of the defense and settlement of such claim, except that Customer may not settle any claim that admits liability on behalf of COMPANY or imposes obligations on COMPANY without COMPANY’s prior written consent.
2. Accounts; Authorized Users
2.1 Account Registration. Customer must be a client with a Company account. Customer registration information must be accurate, current and complete. Customer must keep their registration current so that we may send notices, statements and other information to you by email or through your account. Customer is responsible for all actions taken through Customer’s account by Authorized Users, including orders placed and services enabled (which may incur fees), and for maintaining the confidentiality and security of Customer’s account credentials. Customer shall not be responsible for unauthorized access resulting from COMPANY’s failure to maintain reasonable security controls or from security vulnerabilities in COMPANY’s systems. Customer must immediately notify COMPANY of any unauthorized use of Customer’s account. If you order Software through a Reseller (defined in Section 5.1(b)), then you are solely responsible for (i) any access by Reseller to your account and (ii) any related rights or obligations in your applicable agreement with the Reseller.
2.2 Authorized Users. Only Authorized Users may access and use the services. Some Software may allow you to designate different types of Authorized Users, in which case pricing and functionality may vary according to the type of Authorized User. Customer is responsible for compliance with this Agreement by all Authorized Users, including what Authorized Users do with your data, and for all fees incurred by Authorized Users (or from adding Authorized Users). Customer is also solely responsible for ensuring that its Authorized Users, agents, and other personnel utilizing the services are properly licensed, certified, registered, or otherwise authorized for any activities requiring licensure, certification, registration, or other authorization. All use of Software must be solely for the benefit of Customer or Customer’s Affiliates (except as expressly permitted in Section 2.3 below) and must be within the Scope of Use.

2.3 Secondary Users. As may be further described in the Documentation, certain Software may be used as part of your support (or similar) resources related to your own products, e.g., use of Service Management as part of a helpdesk or use of Confluence to share your own documentation with your users. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you may grant your own customers’ end users (“Secondary Users”) limited rights to use the Software solely so that they may view and interact with such resources. Customer may not permit Secondary Users to use the Software for purposes unrelated to supporting your own offerings or grant Secondary Users administrator, configuration, or similar use of the Software. Customer may not charge Secondary Users a specific fee for use of the Software, but you may charge an overall fee for your own offerings. Customer is responsible under Section 2.2 (Authorized Users) for all Secondary Users as “Authorized Users” and are otherwise solely responsible for your own products, support offerings and Secondary relationships. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, COMPANY has no direct or indirect warranty, indemnity or other liability or obligations of any kind to Secondary Users. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer is responsible for compliance with applicable laws related to Secondary Users’ data and use of the Software, including applicable data protection and privacy laws. Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless COMPANY and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation) arising from or related to Customer’s failure to comply with applicable laws regarding Secondary Users, except to the extent such claims arise from COMPANY’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or defects in the Software, provided that COMPANY (i) provides Customer with prompt written notice of such claim, (ii) provides Customer with reasonable cooperation in the defense at Customer’s expense, and (iii) grants Customer sole control of the defense and settlement of such claim, except that Customer may not settle any claim that admits liability on behalf of COMPANY or imposes obligations on COMPANY without COMPANY’s prior written consent.

4. Term and Termination
4.1 Term. The Agreement commences on the date Customer accepts it and continues until terminated by either party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
4.2 Monthly Term. If Customer opts to choose a monthly Subscription Term for the Software, there will be a monthly billing invoice, as indicated in Section 5.1 of this Agreement. The Agreement will automatically renew for successive monthly Subscription Terms unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term. Upon each renewal, the fees may be adjusted in accordance with Section 5.2 (Fee Changes).
4.3 Change to Commitment Term. Customer may change the Subscription Term from monthly to annual under the potential upgrade of Product. Customer cannot change a Subscription Term from annual to monthly, only after the annual Subscription Term has been terminated.
4.4 Termination for Convenience. Customer may terminate this Agreement or a Subscription Term upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice for any reason, such notice to be effective only at the end of the then-current Subscription Term. Customer will not be entitled to any refunds of prepaid fees as a result of exercising its rights under this Section 4.4. Upon termination under this Section 4.4, any unpaid amounts for services rendered through the effective date of termination will become immediately due and payable, together with any early termination fees specified in the applicable Order.
4.5 Termination for Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement or a Subscription Term if the other Party: (a) fails to cure a material breach of this Agreement (including failure to pay fees) within 30 days after written notice specifying the breach, (b) ceases operation without a successor, or (c) seeks protection under a bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors arrangement, composition, or comparable proceeding, or if such a proceeding is instituted against that party and not dismissed within 60 days. If Customer terminates this Agreement or a Subscription Term in accordance with this Section 4.5 due to COMPANY’s uncured material breach, COMPANY will refund to Customer any pre-paid, unused fees for the terminated portion of the Agreement or applicable Subscription Term, calculated on a pro-rata basis from the effective date of termination, less any amounts owed by Customer to COMPANY and less any damages incurred by COMPANY as a result of Customer’s prior breaches of this Agreement.
5. Billing and Payment

(a) Direct Purchases. If You purchase directly from COMPANY, fees and any payment terms are specified in Your Order with COMPANY.
(b) Resellers. If You purchase through a Reseller, Customer must pay all applicable amounts directly to the Reseller, and Customer order details (e.g. Products and Scope of Use) will be specified in the Order placed by the Reseller with COMPANY on Your behalf.
(c) Renewals. Unless otherwise specified in an Order and subject to the Product, Support or Advisory Services continuing to be generally available, a Subscription Term will automatically renew at COMPANY’s then-current rates, provided that any rate increase shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the prior Subscription Term’s rates without Customer’s prior written consent for: (i) if Customer’s prior Subscription was for a period less than twelve (12) months, another Subscription Term of a period equal to Your prior Subscription Term, or (ii) if Your prior Subscription Term was for twelve (12) months or more, twelve (12) months. Either party may elect not to renew a Subscription Term by giving written notice to the other party at least thirty (30) days before the end of the current Subscription Term. Customer may provide notice of non-renewal by email to COMPANY’s designated contract administration address as specified in the Documentation or on COMPANY’s website, with such notice deemed effective upon COMPANY’s written acknowledgment of receipt.
(d) Changes to Billing. Billing terms may be changed upon mutual written agreement of the parties at any time during a Subscription Term, with any adjustments prorated accordingly. The billing term can be changed from monthly to annual or from annual to monthly, with appropriate prorated adjustments.
(e) Increased Scope of Use. Customer may increase its Scope of Use by placing a new Order or modifying (by mutual agreement with COMPANY) an existing Order. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order, COMPANY will charge You for any increased Scope of Use at COMPANY’s then-current rates, prorated for the remainder of the then-current Subscription Term.
(f) Refunds. Fees and expenses are non-refundable except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, or where COMPANY fails to provide the Products or Services in material compliance with this Agreement, in which case Customer shall be entitled to a prorated refund for the period of non-performance. For any purchases Customer makes through a Reseller, any refunds from COMPANY payable to Customer relating to that purchase will be remitted by that Reseller, unless COMPANY specifically notifies Customer otherwise at the time of refund.
(g) Credit Cards. If Customer uses a credit card or similar online payment method for its initial Order, then Customer authorizes COMPANY to bill that payment method for renewals, additional Orders, and fees expressly agreed to in writing by Customer. For any overages to usage or additional fees exceeding $5,000 in any billing period, COMPANY will provide Customer with prior written notice before charging such amounts. Customer shall have five (5) business days to dispute such charges in writing, and COMPANY shall not process payment for disputed amounts until the dispute is resolved. Customer agrees to maintain valid and current payment information and to notify COMPANY immediately of any changes to such payment method.
5.2 Taxes.
(a) Taxes Generally. Fees and expenses are exclusive of any sales, use, GST, value-added, withholding or similar taxes or levies that apply to Customer Orders. Other than taxes on COMPANY’s net income, Customer is responsible for any sales, use, GST, value-added, or similar taxes or levies properly assessed on the Products or Services provided under this Agreement, which COMPANY will itemize separately in accordance with an applicable invoice. Customer shall not be responsible for any penalties, interest, or additional assessments resulting from COMPANY’s failure to properly collect, report, or remit such taxes.
(b) Withholding Taxes. To the extent Customer is required to withhold tax from payment to COMPANY in certain jurisdictions, Customer must provide valid documentation it receives from the taxing authority in such jurisdictions confirming remittance of withholding. This documentation must be provided at the time of payment of the applicable invoice to COMPANY.
5.3 Suspension for Non-payment. COMPANY may suspend Customer’s rights to use Products or receive Support or Advisory Services if payment is overdue by more than thirty (30) days, provided that COMPANY has given Customer no fewer than fifteen (15) business days’ written notice and an opportunity to cure any good faith billing dispute. COMPANY shall not suspend services if Customer is disputing charges in good faith and has paid all undisputed amounts.
6. COMPANY Warranties
6.1 Performance Warranties. COMPANY warrants to Customer that: (a) the Products will operate in substantial conformity with the applicable Documentation during the applicable Subscription Term, (b) COMPANY will not materially decrease the functionality or overall security of the Products during the applicable Subscription Term, (c) COMPANY will use reasonable efforts designed to ensure that the Products, when and as provided by COMPANY, are free of any viruses, malware, or similar malicious code, and (d) COMPANY will perform any administrative support, onboarding, documentation preparation, application filing assistance, or other services expressly identified in an applicable Order, service level agreement, or statement of work in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with this Agreement (each a “Performance Warranty”).
6.2 Performance Warranty Remedy. If COMPANY breaches a Performance Warranty and You make a reasonably detailed warranty claim within 30 days of discovering the issue, COMPANY will use reasonable efforts to correct the non-conformity. If COMPANY determines such remedy to be impracticable within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of the warranty breach, either party may terminate the affected Subscription Term. In the event of such termination due to COMPANY’s breach of warranty, COMPANY will refund to Customer any pre-paid, unused fees for the terminated portion of the Subscription Term on a pro-rata basis, calculated from the effective date of termination. This refund constitutes COMPANY’s sole liability for breach of warranty. These procedures are Customer’s exclusive remedy and COMPANY’s entire liability for breach of a Performance Warranty.
6.3 Warranty Exclusions. The warranties in this Section 6 (COMPANY Warranties) do not apply to: (a) any issue or non-conformity caused by Customer’s unauthorized use or modification of the Products, Customer’s breach of this Agreement, or Customer’s failure to implement Updates made available by COMPANY, (b) unsupported releases of Products, (c) Third-Party Products, (d) issues arising from Customer Data or Customer Materials, (e) use of the Products in combination with non-COMPANY products or services, (f) failures caused by Customer’s infrastructure, network, or systems, or (g) any customization or configuration performed by or on behalf of Customer without COMPANY’s prior written approval.

Customer acknowledges that COMPANY’s services are limited to the services expressly described in this Agreement and any applicable Order or statement of work, and that COMPANY does not provide legal advice, tax advice, accounting advice, regulatory interpretation, compliance consulting, or any guarantee of licensing, certification, registration, approval, filing acceptance, processing timeline, or business outcome.
7. Ordering Process and Delivery
Orders shall be binding upon COMPANY’s written acceptance. COMPANY may accept or reject any Order in its sole discretion. COMPANY’s acceptance may be provided by sending a confirmation email, providing access to the Products, or making license or access keys available to Customer. No terms of any purchase order or other business form used by Customer will supersede, supplement, or otherwise apply to this Agreement or COMPANY. COMPANY will deliver login instructions or license keys for Products electronically to Customer’s designated email address or account within five (5) business days of receiving full payment of the fees, or such other timeframe as specified in the Order. Customer is solely responsible for the installation, configuration, and implementation of all Products. COMPANY has no delivery, installation, configuration, or implementation obligations with respect to the Products after delivery of login instructions or license keys, except as expressly set forth in a separate Statement of Work signed by both parties. For enterprise or other large-scale engagements, COMPANY may conduct an operational capacity review before confirming final scope, timeline, and pricing, and any adjustments resulting from that review shall be effective only if set forth in an Order or other written amendment signed by the parties.
8. Support and Advisory Services
COMPANY will provide Support and Advisory Services as described in the Order and applicable Policies. COMPANY’s provision of Support and Advisory Services is subject to Customer providing reasonable access to Customer Materials and personnel as mutually agreed by the parties. Customer shall respond to reasonable requests for information or access within ten (10) business days and shall provide accurate and complete information, materials, and instructions necessary for COMPANY to perform the services. If Customer provides inaccurate or incomplete information, COMPANY shall not be liable for any resulting errors, delays, denials, rejections, or rework, and COMPANY may charge additional fees for rework required as a result if permitted by the applicable Order or upon mutual written agreement. If Customer’s delays in providing materials or personnel materially impact COMPANY’s ability to perform, COMPANY may, in its sole discretion: (i) suspend performance until such materials or personnel are provided, (ii) terminate the applicable Order or Statement of Work without liability, or (iii) adjust the timeline and fees to account for such delays. COMPANY shall notify Customer in writing of any such material delays. Additional or out-of-scope services may require a separate Order, statement of work, or other written agreement.
9. Ownership
Except as expressly set out in this Agreement, neither party grants the other any rights or licenses to its intellectual property under this Agreement. As between the parties, You own all intellectual property and other rights in Customer Data and Customer Materials provided to COMPANY or used with the Products. COMPANY and its licensors retain all intellectual property and other rights in the Products, any Support and Advisory Services deliverables, COMPANY technology, templates, formats, dashboards, methodologies, processes, know-how, and any modifications, enhancements, or derivative works thereof, whether created before, during, or after the Term, and regardless of whether such modifications incorporate Customer Data or feedback.

10.2 Product Assessment. COMPANY will provide reasonable information about the Products to assist Customer in its own assessment of whether the Products meet Customer’s requirements. Customer is responsible for determining whether the Products and services satisfy Customer’s regulatory obligations, licensing requirements, and compliance requirements, including those related to artificial intelligence laws, financial services regulations, insurance regulations, and any other laws or regulations applicable in New Jersey or any other jurisdiction. Customer acknowledges that COMPANY is not acting as Customer’s legal, compliance, tax, accounting, or regulatory advisor. COMPANY makes no representations or warranties regarding regulatory compliance, licensing eligibility, filing acceptance, approval, denial, processing timelines, or suitability for any particular regulatory environment, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
10.3 Sensitive Health Information and HIPAA. Unless the parties have entered into a separate, written Business Associate Agreement executed by authorized representatives of both parties, Customer must not (and must not permit anyone else to) upload to the Products or use the Products to collect, process, store, or transmit any patient, medical or other protected health information regulated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) or any similar health privacy laws. Customer acknowledges that the Products are not HIPAA-compliant unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing. COMPANY will provide reasonable technical safeguards to prevent inadvertent upload of such information and will notify Customer promptly if COMPANY becomes aware of any such upload.
11. Third-Party Code and Third-Party Products
11.1 Third-Party Code. This Agreement applies to the Products. Any open-source software and commercial third-party software included in the Products is governed by the applicable Third-Party Code licenses, which are incorporated herein by reference and available at [URL].

Customer’s use of Third-Party Products is subject to the relevant provider’s terms of use, not this Agreement. COMPANY does not control and has no liability for any issues, damages, losses, or liabilities arising from or related to Third-Party Products, except to the extent such issues arise from COMPANY’s negligence or willful misconduct in selecting, integrating, or recommending Third-Party Products. Customer acknowledges and agrees that its use of Third-Party Products is at Customer’s own risk.

14.4 Remedies. Unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information may cause substantial harm for which damages alone are not a sufficient remedy.

In the event of a conflict among the documents making up this Agreement, the main body of this Agreement (i.e. Sections 1 through 17, inclusive) will control, except that the Policies and Product-Specific Terms will control for their specific subject matter.
17.7 Other COMPANY Offerings. COMPANY makes available other offerings that can be used with the Products which, in some cases, are subject to separate terms and conditions.

17.8 Interpretation, Waivers and Severability. In this Agreement, headings are for convenience only and “including” and similar terms are to be construed without limitation. Waivers must be granted in writing and signed by the waiving party’s authorized representative, and also acknowledged by COMPANY’s authorized representative.

End-user agrees to implement and maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect such confidential information in compliance with applicable legal requirements. End-user shall not disclose confidential information to any third party without COMPANY’s prior written consent, except as required by law or valid legal process, provided that end-user provides COMPANY with advance written notice of any such required disclosure at least ten (10) business days prior to disclosure (or as soon as legally permissible if less notice is required by law) to allow COMPANY to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. End-user shall cooperate with COMPANY in seeking such protective measures and shall only disclose the minimum information required by law.
The obligations set forth in this Section 5.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years, except that obligations related to trade secrets shall continue for so long as the information remains a trade secret under applicable law, and obligations related to personal financial information subject to GLBA, consumer information subject to FCRA, or insurance information subject to state insurance privacy laws shall continue in accordance with the requirements of such laws.
6. Warranties and Disclaimers
6.1 Warranty. COMPANY warrants that the website services will perform substantially in accordance with the service description for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of account activation. COMPANY does not warrant that the website services will meet end-user’s specific requirements, that the website services will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that all service issues will be corrected. This warranty does not apply to any non-conformance caused by end-user’s misuse, unauthorized access, or use of the website services in violation of this agreement. COMPANY’s sole obligation and end-user’s exclusive remedy under this warranty shall be, at COMPANY’s sole and absolute discretion, to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the non-conforming website services or to refund the pro-rated service fees paid for the unused portion of the warranty period. This remedy is conditioned upon end-user providing written notice of the non-conformance to COMPANY within thirty (30) days of discovery, providing reasonable cooperation in diagnosing and correcting the issue, and allowing COMPANY reasonable time to attempt to correct the non-conformance before seeking any refund. End-user must provide COMPANY with at least thirty (30) days to attempt correction before the refund remedy becomes available. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY AND REMEDIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.
6.2 Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTY SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.1, THE WEBSITE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE SERVICES WILL BE SECURE, UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, OR SUITABILITY OF ANY DATA, INFORMATION, OR CONTENT PROVIDED THROUGH THE WEBSITE SERVICES OR ANY RESULTS OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE WEBSITE SERVICES. END-USER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE WEBSITE SERVICES ARE TOOLS AND THAT END-USER REMAINS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL BUSINESS DECISIONS, FINANCIAL ADVICE, INSURANCE UNDERWRITING DECISIONS, AND COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS. COMPANY makes no warranty that the website services comply with regulatory requirements specific to end-user’s particular business operations or use case, and end-user is solely responsible for determining whether the website services are suitable for end-user’s regulatory environment and for implementing appropriate controls and procedures to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations; provided, however, that COMPANY represents that the website services have been designed with features intended to facilitate compliance with generally applicable data protection and privacy laws, including GLBA and state insurance privacy requirements, when properly configured and used in accordance with COMPANY’s documentation and guidance. COMPANY makes no warranty regarding end-user’s actual compliance with any regulatory requirements, which depends on end-user’s implementation, configuration, and use of the website services. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING NEW JERSEY LAW, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED.
7. Limitation of Liability
7.1 Limitations. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, DATA USE, GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR USE, INCURRED BY THE END-USER OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. COMPANY’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID BY END-USER TO COMPANY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($5,000). NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL LIMIT COMPANY’S LIABILITY FOR (A) GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, (B) FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, OR (C) MATTERS FOR WHICH LIABILITY CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER NEW JERSEY LAW OR APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO END-USER TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW.
8. Termination
8.1 Termination Rights. COMPANY may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice if the end-user breaches any of its material terms and conditions and fails to cure such breach within ten (10) business days after receiving written notice thereof, except that COMPANY may terminate immediately without opportunity to cure in cases of: (i) non-payment of fees; (ii) breach of confidentiality obligations; (iii) infringement of COMPANY’s intellectual property rights; (iv) fraud or misrepresentation; or (v) conduct that poses immediate risk of harm to COMPANY or third parties. COMPANY may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice for convenience. COMPANY may also immediately suspend or terminate end-user’s access if COMPANY reasonably believes such action is necessary to comply with applicable law or to prevent harm to COMPANY or third parties. Upon termination for any reason, the end-user must immediately cease all use of the website services and destroy all copies of COMPANY’s confidential information and documentation in end-user’s possession or control, and certify such destruction in writing to COMPANY within ten (10) days; provided, however, that end-user may retain copies of documents, records, and information to the extent: (i) required by applicable law, regulation, or legal hold obligations; (ii) necessary to comply with tax, audit, or regulatory requirements; (iii) related to active insurance policies or claims; or (iv) necessary to enforce rights or defend claims under this Agreement.

Sections 4 (Intellectual Property Rights), 5 (Confidentiality), 6.2 (Disclaimer), 7 (Limitation of Liability), and 9 (General Provisions) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

9. General Provisions
9.1 Modification. COMPANY reserves the right to modify this Agreement at any time by posting the modified terms on the website or by providing written notice to end-user. Material modifications shall become effective thirty (30) days after notice is provided, except that modifications required by law or necessary to address security vulnerabilities may be implemented immediately. End-user’s continued use of the website services after the effective date of modifications constitutes acceptance of such modifications. If end-user does not agree to the modifications, end-user’s sole remedy is to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.
9.2 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Bergen County, New Jersey, and each party hereby irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts. End-user waives any objection to venue in New Jersey courts for claims that may properly be brought there, and any claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum, except where such waiver would be unenforceable under applicable law.

9.3 Entire Agreement. These policies and procedures, together with any insurance policy, financial advisory agreement, or other written agreement between COMPANY and end-user, constitute the entire agreement between COMPANY and the end-user concerning the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between these policies and procedures and the terms of an insurance policy or financial advisory agreement, these policies and procedures shall control unless the insurance policy or financial advisory agreement expressly states otherwise in writing with specific reference to the conflicting provision.

For clients with active insurance policies or financial advisory agreements, any such transfer will be subject to the terms of your policy or agreement and applicable insurance and securities regulations, and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice as required by law and your policy or agreement terms, except where such notice is prohibited by law, court order, or is impracticable due to the circumstances of the transaction. COMPANY shall have no liability for failure to provide such notice where circumstances beyond our reasonable control prevent such notification, including but not limited to emergency transactions, court-ordered sales, or situations where providing notice would violate confidentiality obligations or jeopardize the transaction.
We are not responsible for the actions of third parties with whom you independently choose to share personal or sensitive data, and we have no authority to manage or control third-party solicitations. You hereby irrevocably release and hold harmless COMPANY, its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns from any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to your decision to share information with third parties or from third-party use, disclosure, or misuse of such information, regardless of whether such third-party relationship was facilitated through the Software or arose independently. If you no longer wish to receive correspondence, emails, or other communications from third parties, you are solely responsible for contacting the third party directly, and COMPANY has no obligation to assist with or facilitate such requests.

Internet-Based Advertising. Additionally, we may use third-party software to serve ads on the Website, implement email marketing campaigns, and manage other interactive marketing initiatives. This third-party software may use cookies or similar tracking technology to help manage and optimize your online experience with us. We require our third-party service providers to comply with applicable privacy and data security laws, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, HIPAA (where applicable), and New Jersey data security requirements. We maintain written agreements with such providers that: (i) prohibit the provider from using or disclosing customer information except as necessary to perform services for us; (ii) require the provider to implement appropriate security measures; and (iii) require the provider to report any security incidents or breaches to us promptly.

Third-Party Websites
Our services may contain links to third-party websites and applications of interest, including advertisements and external services, that are not affiliated with us. Once you have used these links to leave our services, any information you provide to these third parties is not covered by this Privacy Policy, and we cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of your information. Before visiting and providing any information to any third-party websites, you should inform yourself of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that website, and should take those steps necessary to, in your discretion, protect the privacy of your information. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including other sites, services, or applications that may be linked to or from the Software. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any information, data, opinions, advice, or statements made on third-party sites. You acknowledge and agree that any reliance on third-party content is at your sole risk. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby release and hold harmless COMPANY from any claims, damages, or losses arising from your use of or reliance on third-party websites, services, or content, including but not limited to financial losses, identity theft, data breaches, or receipt of inaccurate information. COMPANY makes no representations or warranties regarding third-party sites and expressly disclaims all liability for third-party content, even if such sites are linked from or recommended through our services.
Security of Your Information
We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse. Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorized parties. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee complete security of your information. By using our services, you expressly acknowledge and accept the inherent risks and limitations of electronic data transmission and storage security, and you agree that COMPANY shall have no liability for any unauthorized access, data breach, or security incident except to the extent caused by COMPANY’s negligence, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, or as otherwise required by applicable law. You further acknowledge that you assume all risk of data loss, theft, or unauthorized access to the extent permitted by applicable law, and you waive any claims against COMPANY arising from security incidents except as required by applicable law or where COMPANY has breached its duty of care. However, we maintain comprehensive information security programs designed to comply with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Safeguards Rule, New Jersey insurance data security requirements, and industry best practices for protecting financial and health information. We will notify you of any security breach affecting your personal information as required by applicable law.
Policy for Children
We do not knowingly solicit information from or market to children under the age of 13. Our services are not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will delete that information as quickly as reasonably possible, subject to our legal and regulatory obligations. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 13, please contact us using the contact information provided below. COMPANY shall have no liability for any inadvertent collection of information from children under 13, provided we take corrective action upon discovery within the timeframes required by applicable law.
Controls for Do-Not-Track Features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. However, you may exercise choices about tracking through your browser settings and available industry opt-out mechanisms. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy. COMPANY reserves the right to implement or modify tracking technologies at its sole discretion, subject to applicable law and user consent where required. COMPANY shall not be liable for any technical limitations or failures in responding to user tracking preferences, except where such failures result from COMPANY’s negligence or violation of applicable law.
