12.3 Termination. A party may terminate this Agreement (a) 30 days after providing written notice to the other party of a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such 30-day period, (b) if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (c) upon 10 days’ written notice to the other party if the other party is in material breach of this Agreement more than two times notwithstanding any cure of such breaches.

12.4 Refund or Payment upon Termination. If You chose to terminate, You won't be issued a refund except in Our sole discretion, or if legally required. Because Beta Services and trial periods may be provided at no charge to You, the applicable statutory rights of cancellation may not result in a refund.

12.5 Customer Content Deletion. After the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, We will have no obligation to maintain or provide Customer Content, and may, in Our sole discretion, delete or destroy all copies of Customer Content in Our systems or otherwise in Our possession or control, unless legally prohibited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Purchased Service, We may choose to keep certain Customer Content available for electronic retrieval for a reasonable time period after such termination or expiration.

12.6 Surviving Provisions. Each party is responsible for any obligations to the other party that arose prior to any termination or expiration of this Agreement. In addition, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, Section 7 (Intellectual Property Rights), Section 8 (Confidentiality), Section 9. (Warranties), Section 10 (Mutual Indemnification), Section 11 (Limitation of Liability), Section 12.4 (Refund or Payment upon Termination), Section 12.5 Customer Content Deletion, this Section 12.6 (Surviving Provisions), Section 13 (Notices, Governing Law and Dispute Resolution), and Section 14 (General Provisions) survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

13. Notices, Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

13.1 Manner of Giving Notice. All notices, permissions, and approvals hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed given upon: (i) personal delivery, (ii) the third business day after mailing, (iii) the second business day after sending via an overnight delivery service; or (iii) the first business day after sending by email (provided email is not sufficient for notices of material breach, termination, or an indemnifiable claim). Notices to Us shall be addressed to:

Chauncey Technologies, LLC

Address: 3800 Venice Blvd. STE 206. Los Angeles, California 90034

Email: info@chauncey.live

Billing-related notices to You shall be addressed to the relevant billing contact designated by You. All other notices to You shall be addressed to the Authorized User designated by You, in writing, by like notice

13.2 Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement and any disputes arising under it will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles, California. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

13.3 Informal Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. The parties acknowledge that most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. The parties will use their best efforts to settle any dispute directly through consultation with each other before initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. If, after good faith negotiations the parties are unable to resolve the dispute, any and all disputes arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement, including without limitation its existence, validity or termination, shall be resolved according to California law and exclusively by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”) and pursuant to the then existing arbitration rules at JAMS.

If the parties cannot agree upon selection of an arbitrator, then JAMS shall appoint an arbitrator experienced in the enterprise software industry. The place of the arbitration will be San Francisco, California unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties. The arbitration will be conducted in English. The arbitrator shall provide detailed written findings of fact and conclusions of law in support of any award. Judgment upon any such award may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The existence of a dispute, submission to arbitration, and any arbitration award under this Agreement is deemed the Confidential Information of both parties.

The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth herein is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the portions of this Section 13.3 mandating arbitration shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

You may opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions by sending written notice to Chauncey. Any such notice must be given within 30 days of the Effective Date. If Customer opts out of arbitration, Chauncey also will not be bound to arbitrate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13, (a) either party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief as set forth in Section 13.4 (Equitable Relief) below and to stop unauthorized use of the Service or infringement of Intellectual Property Rights and (b) any disputes, claims, or controversies concerning either party’s Intellectual Property Rights or claims of piracy or unauthorized use of the Service shall not be subject to arbitration but instead must be heard in state or Federal court in Los Angeles, California.

13.4 Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Section 8 (Confidentiality) or, in the case of Customer, Section 4.5 (Usage Restrictions), would cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.

14. General Provisions

14.1 Export Compliance. The Service, other technology We make available, and derivatives thereof may be subject to export laws and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions. Each party represents that it is not named on any U.S. government denied-party list. You will not permit Authorized Users to access or use the Service in a U.S.-embargoed country, or permit access or use by any denied party, or otherwise in violation of any U.S. export law or regulation.

14.2 Entire Agreement and Order of Precedence. This Agreement, including any Order and addenda or exhibits incorporated therein, is the entire agreement between You and Us regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. No waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be asserted. The parties agree that any term or condition stated in Your purchase order or in any other of Your order documentation (excluding Order) during the term of this Agreement is void. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence will be: (1) this Agreement, (2) the applicable Order, and (3) the Documentation.

14.3 Assignment. Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, either party may assign this Agreement in its entirety (including all Orders), without the other party’s consent to its Affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to which this Agreement relates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party merges with, is acquired by, sells substantially all or substantially all of its assets to, or otherwise undergoes a change of control in favor of, a direct competitor of the other party, then such other party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice.

14.4 Relationship of the Parties. The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the parties.

14.5 Publicity. Unless otherwise set forth on an Order, Chauncey may use Customer’s name, logo and marks to identify Customer as a Chauncey customer on Chauncey’s website and marketing, public relations and materials for current or prospective investors.

14.6 Third-Party Beneficiaries.  There are no third-party beneficiaries under this Agreement.

14.7 Waiver. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under this Agreement constitutes a waiver of that right.

14.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be deemed null and void, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect.

14.9 Changes. Chauncey may revise this Agreement from time to time by posting a revised version on its website. Any such revised version will take effect as of the date of posting of the revised version or such later date set forth in a notice to you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if You do not agree to the revised version, You may provide us written notice of non-renewal under Section 12.2 (Term of Purchased Subscriptions) within 30 days of the effective date of the revised version and such revised version will not apply to Your access and use of the Service through the remainder of Your then-current Subscription Term.

14.10 Force Majeure. Except for payment obligations, neither party will be liable for inadequate performance to the extent caused by a condition (for example, natural disaster, an act of war or terrorism, riot, labor condition, governmental action, Internet service provider failure or delay, or denial of service attack) that was beyond the party’s reasonable control.

14.11 US Government Rights. The Documentation, and each software component that We use to provide the Service is a “commercial item” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212. If Customer is an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefor, Customer only receives those rights with respect to the Service, Documentation as are granted to all other end users, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. § 227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. § 227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. § 12.212, with respect to all other US Government users and their contractors.
