Feedonomics Terms of Service

This Subscription Agreement (the Agreement) by and between Feedonomics, LLC (Feedonomics), a California Limited Liability Company, and Subscriber includes the terms and definitions set out below. Subscriber and Feedonomics are herein referred to individually as a Party and collectively as the Parties.

Feedonomics is the master licensor of Technology which aggregates data across multiple sources and creates a data file (the Data Service) which Feedonomics makes available to its customers for the customer’s internal business purposes. The Subscription Fee incorporated in this Agreement, is subject to change and all subscription fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.

1. LICENSE GRANTS
   • Data Service Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Feedonomics hereby grants to Subscriber a limited, nonexclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable right to use the Data Service solely for its internal business purposes. Subscriber shall not (i) provide access to the Data Service to unauthorized third parties, (ii) publicly publish, copy (except for internal use), duplicate or replicate the Data Service, (iii) scrape any data, content or intellectual property, or otherwise trespass or interfere with Feedonomics’ Data Service or systems; or (iv) sublicense, distribute or transfer the Data Service or underlying data except as otherwise expressly permitted herein.
   • Availability of the Data Service Feedonomics shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Data Service to Subscriber on an ongoing basis. However, there will be occasions when the Data Service may be interrupted for maintenance, upgrades and repairs, or as a result of failure of telecommunications links and equipment that are beyond Feedonomics's control. Feedonomics shall take reasonable steps to minimize such disruption, to the extent it is within Feedonomics's reasonable control. Under no circumstances shall Feedonomics be liable to Subscriber for any interruptions, outages, or other system failures that are beyond Feedonomics's control. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Feedonomics obtains the data for the Data Service from third parties, and that such sources may become temporarily or permanently unavailable. If such unavailability materially affects Feedonomics's ability to provide the Data Service in whole or in part for more than ten consecutive days, Subscriber shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Feedonomics and receive a pro rata refund of the last subscription fee paid.
2. OWNERSHIP

   Feedonomics or its licensor(s) shall retain all rights, title and interest in and to The Data Service and any data, files, or other information provided or used by Feedonomics in the provision of the Data Service. Neither Party shall have any right to use the other Party's trademarks, logos, service marks or other indicia of origin, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. No rights other than those expressly recited herein are to be implied from this Agreement.

   Feedonomics owns the rights to the data service, which is the underlying technology and platform receiving Subscriber’s data from multiple sources. Subscriber’s data is optimized to create feed files which are provided to the various shopping engines. The file created is the property of the Subscriber and placed in the Subscriber’s merchant center. The most recently optimized file is always the property of the Subscriber.

3. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
   • Definition. Confidential Information shall mean and include all of the confidential and proprietary information and all other information, not in the public domain, that relates to the Data Service.

   • Protection of Confidential Information. The receiving Party will protect the disclosing Party's Confidential Information from unauthorized dissemination and use with the same degree of care that such receiving Party uses to protect its own non-public and confidential information, but in no event less than a commercially reasonable degree of care. The receiving Party will not use the disclosing Party's Confidential Information for purposes other than those necessary to directly further the purposes of this Agreement. The receiving Party will not disclose to third parties the disclosing Party's Confidential Information without prior written consent of the disclosing Party.

   • Disclosure of Confidential Information. These provisions shall not prevent the receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information where it is required to do so by law or by a binding court order save that, to the extent legally permissible, it shall notify the disclosing Party of such disclosure and allow the disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to object to such disclosure.
