Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions shall apply to Customer’s use of Exceed’s customer interaction management software solution enabling personalized and automated interactions with customers and potential customers (the “Contacts”) (the “Service“, which shall also include all updates, upgrades, improvements, bug fixes, and other modifications made in connection therewith) on such terms detailed in one or more ordering documents signed by the parties, including any exhibits thereto (each, an “Order Form”). Customer’s execution of an Order Form referencing these Terms and Conditions shall be deemed Customer’s agreement to these Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions and all Order Forms (together, the “Agreement“) represent the parties’ entire understanding regarding the Service and shall govern over any different or additional terms of any purchase order and no terms included in any such purchase order shall apply to the Services. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and an Order Form, the terms of the Order Form shall prevail. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to such terms in the Order.

The Service
1. Subject to Customer’s compliance with these Terms and Conditions and payment of all applicable fees, Exceed will grant to Customer the right, during the term set forth in the Order Form, to use the Service on Customer’s account(s) detailed in the Order Form (the “Account“). Use of the Service for any other purpose shall require Exceed’s prior written consent and shall be subject to such terms (including pricing) to be separately agreed.
2. Exceed may make modifications, additions and upgrades to the Service, as it deems necessary. The terms of these Terms and Conditions will apply to any updates that Exceed may make available to the Customer.
3. Exceed shall grant Customer a limited, revocable, non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use the Service during the term of this Agreement on the Account for the purposes stated herein.
4. Exceed shall make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Service will be accessible and functional on a continuous basis, with the exception of scheduled maintenance periods. The foregoing notwithstanding, Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Service may be inaccessible or inoperable at any time and for any reason, including without limitation due to equipment malfunctions, unscheduled maintenance or repairs, or causes that are beyond Exceed’s reasonable control or not reasonably foreseeable by Exceed, including without limitation interruption or failure of telecommunication or digital transmission links, hostile network attacks, network congestion or other failures.
5. In using the Service, Customer will adhere to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including those regarding the transmission and distribution of information or material over the Internet, including without limitations, those applicable to privacy, spam, etc., and will otherwise adhere to generally accepted standards of Internet usage.
6. Customer acknowledges that since certain functions of the Service are dependent on the integration with third party’s platforms and/or services (including, without limitation various electronic mail platforms), Exceed shall not be responsible in any way for any interruption in the performance of Service which occurs as a result of: (i) any change or modification made in such third party’s platform/product and/or technical problem caused to such third party’s web based platform/product; or (ii) the impediment of access to such third party’s web based platform/product by Exceed.
Data and Contact Information
1. Customer shall provide Exceed all (i) message templates, including without limitation, questions to Contacts and answers to Contacts’ questions and guidelines for transfer of conversation to an actual salesperson on behalf of Customer (“Data”); and (ii) necessary information with respect to the Contacts (the “Contact Information”). The Data and the Contact Information will be saved on Exceed’s servers and will be used by Exceed in order to provide the Customer with the Services.
2. It is Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure that (i) it has all necessary rights and legal bases to process the Contact’s personal Data, including but not limited to having obtained all necessary Consents (as defined below) from each of the Contacts to provide Exceed the Contact Information, to allow Exceed to contact the Contacts on behalf of the Customer and to use the Contact Information in the provision of the Service; and (ii) the Contact Information does not infringe or violate any intellectual property and does not contain any protected information which Customer may not disclose in accordance with any applicable law, rule or regulation. For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “Consent(s)” shall mean a clear affirmative action and unambiguous indication, separate from other terms and conditions, provided by the Contacts to Customer to the fact that they agree to provide the Customer and/or Exceed with the Contact Information (including the categories of data the Customer wishes to process) and that they agree to the process of Personal Information by Exceed in accordance with the terms contained in this Agreement (including indicating Exceed identity as performing process on behalf of the Customer), which will include their right to withdraw their Consent and the manner in which they will be able to exercise this right. It is hereby clarified that such Consent shall be in compliance with all applicable laws. The Customer shall fully indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Exceed and its subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, agents and suppliers, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders and personnel, from and against any claims, suits, hearings, actions, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, costs, losses, judgments or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to any breach of the provisions of this Section 2.2. Notwithstanding, in case of an “unsubscribed” request by a Contact (rather than withdraw of Consent), the Customer shall notify Exceed without further delay after the receipt of such request and in case possible will take actions to make the identifiable information, stored with respect to such Contact, anonymized.
