This Terms of Service Agreement, including all and any Annexures and referenced URLs (“Agreement”), is entered into between Chocolat Média Inc., with its principal place of business located at 2019 Rue Moreau, Montreal, QC, Canada, H1W2M1 (“Beshared”) and the customer identified on the order for Beshared (as later defined), (“Customer”), and effective on the date on which Customer executes this Agreement (“Effective Date”).

1. SCOPE. This Agreement governs Beshared’s provision to Customer of such Beshared SaaS and/or such other services selected and ordered (“Beshared”) by Customer on the Beshared website (“Website”). The parties agree that the terms of this Agreement shall extend to and govern all orders placed on Beshared by Customer as well as any receipt and use by Customer and/or Permitted Users (as later defined) of the Beshared Services. It is understood by Customer that any software functionality, including that enabled by Beshared’s proprietary software, ‘Beshared’ (“Software”), made available to Customer pursuant to this Agreement shall be provided as part of Beshared’s software-as-a-service offering (“Beshared SaaS”) forming part of the Beshared and that no physical copies of Software shall be provided by Beshared.

2. RIGHT TO USE. Beshared hereby grants to Customer, effective as of the date this Agreement is executed (“Service Commencement Date”), a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable and limited right and license to receive, access and use the Beshared Services, through Customer’s internet connection or proprietary telecommunications line, for Customer’s internal business purposes (“Agreed Purpose”), in return for Customer’s strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Beshared may collect cookies while providing the Beshared Services to Customer and/or Permitted Users and its collection and usage thereof shall be governed by the policy set out in Beshared’s then prevailing cookie policy. While Beshared shall employ its reasonable efforts to safeguard any Service Data (as later defined) uploaded by Customer and/or Permitted Users to the Beshared system (“Beshared System”) used by Beshared as part of its provision of the Beshared Services, Customer acknowledges that it and/or its Permitted Users shall be solely responsible for making backup copies of any and all such Service Data. Customer specifically understands and agrees that the agreed Fees are specifically predicated on this allocation of risk and that consequently Beshared shall have no liability to Customer, its servants, or agents for any loss of or damage to such Service Data.

3. PERMITTED USE BY OTHERS. Beshared hereby authorizes Customer to permit Customer’s affiliates, servants and agents (“Permitted Users”) to receive, access and use Beshared Services for the Agreed Purpose on condition that (i) Customer shall procure the compliance of Permitted Users with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) Customer shall remain responsible and liable for any misuse of the Beshared Services or breach of the terms of this Agreement by Permitted Users in connection with their use of the Beshared Services or in connection with this Agreement, specifically including any applicable security, integrity or privacy laws or regulations and Acceptable Use (as later defined).

Receipt, access and use of and to the Beshared Services by Customer and/or Permitted Users is granted on condition of their strict compliance with the following restrictions, that under no circumstances shall Customer and/or Permitted Users: (i) transmit content that violates the privacy, intellectual property or other proprietary rights of Beshared or any other party; (ii) knowingly or recklessly transmit viruses, trojan horses, worms, malicious code, or other harmful or destructive content; (iii) breach any terms of this Agreement, or any applicable law; (iv) attempt to probe, scan, test, re-engineer or violate the security features of Beshared Services or any associated system or network, or to obtain unauthorized access to materials or other information stored thereon; (v) attempt to sell, resell, transfer, assign, license, sublicense, pledge, lease, rent, distribute, timeshare, or share or otherwise commercially exploit or make the Beshared Services available to or for the benefit of any third party, other than Permitted Users; (vi) attempt to interfere with or disrupt the integrity or provision of the Beshared Services or the data contained therein; (vii) exploit or present minors in a sexual way, or promote adult sexual services, or represent a private person offering to trade or sell drugs, firearms, or other hazardous materials, including any indication or promotion of hate speech; (viii) remove any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices from any portion of the Beshared Services; (ix) use meta tags, hidden text or metadata with Beshared’s trademark, logo, URL or product name without Beshared’s prior written consent; (x) use Beshared’s user information to forge any TCP/IP packet header or any part of the header information in any email or newsgroup posting, or in any way use the Beshared Services to send altered source-identifying information; (xi) share with any third party the login credentials used to access and use the Beshared Services; and/or (xii) attempt to interfere with the provision or use of the Beshared Services, whether directly or indirectly, by any other manner not expressly mentioned above (collectively, “Acceptable Use”).

5. ACCOUNT ACCESS. To enable receipt, access and use of and to the Beshared Services, Customer and/or each Permitted User shall register for and maintain an active Beshared account (“Account”). It is a condition of receipt, access and use of and to the Beshared Services that each Permitted User must be at least 18 years of age and Beshared shall, in no manner whatsoever, be liable for any violation of the foregoing. Customer shall be responsible for all activity that emanates from any Customer or Permitted User Account and for any use not in conformance with Acceptable Use.

6. SUPPORT. By creating an Account, Customer consents to Beshared sending Customer and/or Permitted Users email communications necessary to give effect to the terms of this Agreement. Customer and/or Permitted Users may opt-out of receiving such communication at any time by clicking the unsubscribe button located on any such email communications from Beshared. Customer acknowledges that opting out of such communication may impact the quality and beneficial use of the Beshared Services. As part of its provision of the Beshared Services, Beshared shall make available to Customer and/or Permitted Users reasonable support and information in connection with same, which support and information may be provided via phone, email or other reasonable means, in accordance with instructions to be shared by Beshared with Customer and each Permitted User.

7. NON-COMPLIANCE. Upon Customer or any Permitted User becoming aware of any non-compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation any Acceptable Use, Account maintenance, and/or applicable security, integrity or privacy requirements, Customer shall notify Beshared without undue delay, by sending an email summarizing any such non-compliance to [email protected], to enable any appropriate remedial action to be undertaken by Beshared.

8. MODIFICATIONS TO SYSTEM & UPDATES. Customer acknowledges that it is obtaining the benefit of a standard service and that, as such, Beshared may, in its sole discretion: (i) reengineer its network or service components, (ii) change the locations of its hosting centers, (iii) modify and/or replace technology and/or service architectures, without material degradation of the Beshared Services, and (iv) from time to time, provide enhancements or improvements to the features and/or functionality of the Beshared Services, which may include patches, bug fixes, updates, upgrades and other modifications (collectively, “Updates”).

To this end, Customer hereby agrees that Beshared has no obligation: (i) to provide any specific Updates, or at all, or (ii) to continue to provide or enable any particular features and/or functionalities of Beshared Services to Customer and/or Permitted Users. Customer further agrees that all Updates will, upon installation by Beshared, be: (i) deemed to constitute an integral part of the Beshared Services, and (ii) subject to the terms of this Agreement.

9. FEES. Customer agrees to pay Beshared the fees corresponding to the particular Beshared Services ordered by Customer, as set forth from time to time on the Website (“Fees”), in accordance with the payment terms set out therein. Such Fees are exclusive of all applicable taxes in any relevant jurisdiction and Customer shall be responsible for the payment of all such validly levied taxes, specifically excluding all and any taxes accruing on the basis of Beshared’s income which shall remain the responsibility of Beshared. Customer acknowledges that all Fees due hereunder are payable in advance and that any delay or failure on the part of Customer to pay the agreed Fees by the due date for payment shall enable Beshared, without further notice, to suspend the Beshared Services or terminate this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

10. THIRD PARTY INTERACTIONS. The Beshared Services may contain links to third party provided websites, applications, resources and advertisements (“Third Party Provision”). Customer understands and agrees that Third Party Provision is not under the control of Beshared and that any access to Third Party Provision by Customer and/or Permitted Users shall be entirely at Customer’s risk and subject to any Third Party Provision terms of use associated with same. Customer further agrees that Third Party Provision is outside of the scope of this Agreement and that Beshared shall have no responsibility or liability to Customer and/or Permitted User for: (i) the availability or accuracy of Third Party Provision; and/or (ii) the content, products, or services available from such Third Party Provision.

11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each party shall continue to own title to any Intellectual Property Rights (i) it owned as at the Effective Date, (ii) created and owned independently of this Agreement, and (iii) any modifications, adaptations and derivations of subsections (i) and (ii) above (“Background IP”) and nothing in this Agreement shall operate to transfer any Background IP between the parties. Beshared and/or its licensors own all worldwide Intellectual Property Rights in the: (a) Software and user interfaces used for providing the Beshared Services; (b) Beshared SaaS; (c) Products; (d) SDK; and (e) all trademarks, service marks and logos of Beshared (“Beshared IP”). Except for the right to receive, access and use the Beshared Services as expressly set forth herein specifically for the Purpose, no right or license is granted hereunder with respect to the Beshared IP. Further, Customer shall not, and shall procure that its Permitted Users shall not, nor permit any third party to: (a) use, copy, adapt, modify or create derivative works of the Beshared IP; (b) where applicable, reverse-engineer, disassemble, or decompile the Beshared IP or otherwise attempt to determine its underlying source code; (b) sell, lease, sublicense, rent, lend or provide any portion of the Beshared IP to any third party or allow the use of the Beshared IP by, or for the benefit of any person other than its Permitted Users ((a), (b) and (c) collectively “IP Restrictions”. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Intellectual Property Rights” shall mean all patents, inventions, discoveries, registered and unregistered rights in respect of copyright, industrial and other designs, databases, circuit layouts, trademarks, domain names, know-how, confidential information trade secrets, and all other intellectual property.

12. CUSTOMER/PERMITTED-USER REQUIREMENTS & CONDUCT. Customer shall ensure that neither it nor any Permitted Users will, in connection with their use of the Beshared Services, upload, share, or otherwise distribute any electronic data, text, messages or other materials, including personal data of such Permitted User (“Service Data”) in violation of Acceptable Use. Beshared reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to remove any Service Data that, in its good faith judgment, fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement, any other rules of user conduct, or is otherwise harmful, objectionable, or inaccurate. Beshared shall not be responsible for any failure or delay in removing such content or any business consequences of removing same.

13. SERVICE DATA. As between the parties, all right, title and interest in and to Service Data remains vested in Customer and Customer hereby grants Beshared a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty free license to use, transmit, distribute, modify, reproduce, display, store and process Service Data to the extent necessary for Beshared to make available and provide the Beshared Services to Customer and/or Permitted Users and to perform its obligations under the Agreement. In no circumstances shall Beshared share such Service Data or use such Service Data for the benefit of Beshared directly or Beshared’s other customers.

14. ANONYMOUS DATA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Customer hereby agrees that Beshared may create de-identified, aggregated or anonymous data which may, in part, include processing of and anonymizing Service Data (“Anonymous Data”) for the purposes of operating, analysing, improving, or marketing the Beshared Services provided always that any such Anonymous Data will in no circumstances, identify Customer or any Permitted User or enable the identification of same and that all persistent identifiers have been removed.

15. SERVICE USAGE DATA. For the sole purpose of providing and improving the Beshared Services, Beshared may collect and use data relating to the usage by Customer and/or Permitted Users of the Beshared Services, including without limitation monitoring and analysing usage and traffic patterns of its websites and Beshared Services. Such usage data: (a) is not Service Data; (b) does not include any personal information about Customer or Permitted Users; and (c) is owned by Beshared.

16. CONFIDENTIALITY. Any data and information, whether written, oral, or visual, including data and information that at the time of disclosure by disclosing party to the receiving party is identified as ‘confidential’ or which, based upon the content and circumstances of disclosure, would lead a reasonable person to conclude such data and information to be ‘confidential’ shall be deemed “Confidential Information”. Each party shall hold the Confidential Information of the other party in confidence, use same only to meet its obligations under the Agreement and not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party, save as expressly permitted by this Section 18. Each party may share the Confidential Information with those of its servants and agents that have a bona fide reason to receive same in furtherance of the sharing party’s obligations under the Agreement provided: (i) the sharing party remains liable for the breach of this section by its servants and agents receiving Confidential Information; and (ii) any such receiving servants and agents are similarly bound by broadly comparable obligations of confidentiality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that: (a) was already known by the receiving party through legitimate means; (b) is in the public domain, or becomes so, without fault of receiving party; (c) is independently derived by receiving party without access to the Confidential Information of the other party; or (d) is obtained from a third party absent breach of any obligations of confidentiality. Any breach of this provision by either party may cause irreparable harm to the other party for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from the court without proof of loss.

17. PRIVACY. The Beshared Services are not intended to be used for the storing or processing of personal data and any Service Data containing personal data/personally identifiable information (“PII”) is at the discretion and risk of Customer and/or Permitted Users. In the case of any PII processed in connection with the Beshared Services, as between the parties, Customer shall remain the owner and data controller of its PII and Beshared shall be the data processor, in which capacities the parties shall each comply with their respective obligations under then-applicable data privacy laws. In particular, Customer undertakes to comply with the applicable laws in respect of its collection of data and PII for use by Customer and/or Permitted User in their use of the Beshared Services. Collection and use of personal information by Beshared in connection with the provision of the Beshared Services will be governed by the terms set out in Beshared’s current privacy policy.

18. WARRANTY & DISCLAIMER.

18.1. LIMITED WARRANTY. Beshared represents and warrants that it has all necessary authority to enter into this Agreement and all necessary rights, title and interest to enable Beshared to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including the provision of Beshared Services.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 18.1, Beshared MAKES NO WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, NOR ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM THE COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR COURSE OF DEALING. Beshared DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE Beshared SERVICES AND/OR USAGE OF THE PRODUCTS WILL BE FREE OF INTERRUPTIONS, ERRORS, BUGS, VIRUSES OR SECURITY ISSUES OR THAT THEY WILL MEET ANY SPECIFIC CUSTOMER OR PERMITTED USER REQUIREMENTS.

19. INDEMNITY.

19.1. Beshared INDEMNITY. Beshared hereby agrees to indemnify, and defend Customer, its directors, officers and employees (“Indemnified Customer Parties”) from and against all costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), liabilities, and damages suffered by Indemnified Customer Parties, arising out of any third-party claim: (i) that Customer’s receipt, access, and use or possession of the Beshared Services and/or Products infringed the Intellectual Property Rights of a third party (“IP Claim”); (ii) for death or bodily injury resulting from the negligence of Beshared, its servants or agents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Beshared shall have no liability or obligation to indemnify Indemnified Customer Parties against any IP Claim to the extent such IP Claim results from: (a) any modification or unauthorized use of the Beshared Services and/or the Products (collectively, “Deliverables”); or (b) any breach of this Agreement by Customer and/or Permitted Users ((a) and (b), collectively “Indemnity Exclusions“).

19.2. IP CLAIM. If the provision by Beshared of any Deliverable becomes the subject matter of a third party IP Claim that does not fall within the Indemnity Exclusions, Beshared may, at its option: (i) obtain for Customer and/or Permitted Users the right to continue using the affected portion of the Deliverables; or (ii) replace or modify the affected portion of the Deliverables. If either of the above options are not reasonably available, Beshared may immediately terminate this Agreement upon giving 15 calendar days’ prior written notice to Customer. This Section 21 states Beshared’s sole and exclusive liability with respect to any IP Claim (whether actual or alleged) resulting from Beshared’s provision of Deliverables (or any part thereof) pursuant to this Agreement.

19.3. CUSTOMER INDEMNITY. Customer hereby agrees to indemnify and defend Beshared, its directors, officers and employees (“Indemnified Beshared Parties”) from and against all costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), liabilities, and damages suffered by the Indemnified Beshared Parties, arising out of any third-party claim: (i) based on violation by Customer and/or any Permitted User of any applicable law; (ii) that Beshared’s storage or use of Service Data in accordance with this Agreement infringed the Intellectual Property Rights of a third party; (iii) for death or bodily injury resulting from the negligence of Customer, its servants or agents. The indemnification obligation set forth above will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

20. LIABILITY

20.1. EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL Beshared, ITS SERVANTS AND AGENTS BE LIABLE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF A STATUTORY DUTY OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY PURE ECONOMIC LOSS, LOST PROFITS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, REPUTATIONAL DAMAGE, LOST GOODWILL, LOST (INCLUDING THEFT THROUGH HACKING) OR CORRUPTED DATA OF CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE Beshared SERVICES OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES.

22. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

22.1 FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party will be in default of its failure to perform any obligation hereunder (other than any payment obligation) to the extent that its non-performance results from causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, civil commotion, epidemics and pandemics (together with the resulting consequences or mitigations of same), strikes, labor disputes, internet service disruptions or slowdowns, vandalism or “hacker” attacks, or governmental demands or requirements.

(a) Subject to Subsection (b) of this Section 24.2, neither party may assign, novate or otherwise transfer any of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any person without the prior written consent of the other party and any attempt to do so will be void. (b) Notwithstanding Subsection (a) of this Section 24.2, Beshared may, without consent, assign this Agreement to an Affiliate or in connection with any merger, acquisition, reorganization, or other transfer of all or substantially all of its assets.

22.3 NOTICES. All notices made under or in connection with this Agreement must be in writing and sent to the other party at the address for such other party first set out in this Agreement or, in the case of the Customer, at the address provided by Customer at the time the order for Beshared Services was placed. Either party may elect to change its address for the purposes of receiving notices pursuant to this Agreement by providing the other party with written notice of such change. In the event of a termination under Section 23.1, Customer may provide notice through the Website, if such functionality is present at the time of such termination notice.

22.6 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties as to the matters set out herein and supersedes any prior agreement or communication. Any subsequent modification of this Agreement, or any part of it, shall only be effective if reduced to writing and signed and dated by both parties.

22.7 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement shall continue to be valid and such impacted provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to render such provision enforceable, while preserving to the fullest permissible extent the intent of the parties.
