Subscriber may terminate these Terms of Use with thirty (30) days’ written notice provided any predetermined minimum contractual obligation has been met. Subscriber is obligated to the full term of any written service contracts, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing.

Subscriber’s rights under the Terms of Use will automatically terminate without notice if Subscriber fails to comply with any of its terms. In the case of termination, Logic may immediately revoke access to the Services without notice. Logic may also terminate Subscriber’s right to use the Application at any time and in such event, Logic may modify the Application to make it inoperable. Logic’s failure to insist upon or enforce Subscriber’s strict compliance with these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of any of Logic’s rights.

Should the Subscriber voluntarily choose to terminate the Terms of Use with all outstanding fees paid, Logic may provide an export of the Subscriber’s proprietary data that is current in the Application. Data export and its format as well as associated fees will be at the sole discretion of Logic.

c. Effect of Termination

Upon termination of this Service Agreement, all rights granted to the Subscriber under this Service Agreement shall immediately terminate, including the right to access and use the Service by all of the Subscriber’s users, unless the termination is due to the Subscriber’s subscription for use of the Service under a separate service agreement. Termination of this Service Agreement shall not be construed to waive or release any claim that a party is entitled to assert at the time of such termination, and the applicable provisions of this Service Agreement shall continue to apply to such claim until it is resolved.

8. Fees

The fee (“Fee”) for use of Showcase is described in this Services Agreement such that the subscriber will be assessed a monthly user fee as determined by number of users. A user is described as one user account registered in Showcase CMS. The definition of “user” may be modified, altered, or changed by Logic, at such time Logic will provide written notice (including but not limited to email notice) to the Subscriber. Any amounts due Logic under this Agreement that are not paid within 30 days after they are due shall incur interest at the rate of 1 1/2 percent per month. The interest shall be calculated from the date payment is originally due until the date payment is made in full. Subscriber shall pay such interest, with all payments first being applied to interest and then to principal. Subscriber shall pay to Logic any legal costs Logic incurs in enforcing its rights in relation to any overdue payment.

Subscriber will manage user accounts with the Application, and Logic may amend Fees at any time based on (but not limited to) additions or deletions of user accounts in the Application. Subscriber may be subject to additional fees associated with content loading or other custom services. Such fees will be detailed in the purchase agreement.
Any increase in the Fee will take effect at such date as may be specified on the Site or in writing (including but not limited to email notice) to the Subscriber.

Subscriber agrees to pay fees applicable for Subscriber’s usage of the Service, and authorizes Logic (or its designated payment processor) to charge Subscriber for such Fee using the applicable payment method for such Fee.

b. Refunds

All Fees paid to Logic are nonrefundable.

Subscriber may contact Logic regarding billing or other questions by calling Logic’s client service center at the telephone number on the Site, or by visiting the “Contact Us” web page on the Site.

9. Performance

Subscriber shall notify Logic’s customer service team of performance issues by email, telephone call, or issue tracking system. Logic will provide an assessment of the issue, during which time frequent communication with the Subscriber may be required to address and/or rectify performance issues. Logic will make every attempt to alleviate performance issues within its reasonable control as quickly as possible. Logic may provide the Subscriber a “credit” for service time lost, at Logic’s discretion. This is the sole and exclusive remedy for performance failure from causes within Logic’s reasonable control. Logic shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control.

10. Export Regulations

Subscriber will comply with all export and re-export restrictions and regulations of the United States Department of Commerce and other United States and foreign agencies and authorities that may apply to the Application, and not to transfer, or encourage, assist, or authorize the transfer of the Application to a prohibited country or otherwise in violation of any applicable restrictions or regulations.

a. By Subscriber

Subscriber shall indemnify and hold harmless Logic and its parent and affiliate companies, and their directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all loss, damage, liability, and expense arising from any claim brought against any such indemnified party by any third party to the extent: (a) alleging that the Content, or Subscriber’s use of the Service (if in violation of the terms of this Service Agreement), infringes upon any patent, copyright, trademark, privacy, trade secret, or other proprietary right of, or otherwise harms, any third party or breaches a contract with any third party; or (b) resulting from the failure of Subscriber to comply with its obligations under this Service Agreement or from the acts or omissions of Subscriber or its employees, agents, Account users, and affiliates, and each of the successors and assigns of the above persons or entities.

14. Use of Third Party Services

When the Subscriber uses the Application or the Services, the Subscriber may also be using the services of one or more third parties, such as a wireless carrier or a mobile platform provider, (collectively and individually, “Third Party Services”), and acknowledges that the use of those Third Party Services may be subject to the separate policies and terms of use, including fees, of one or more third parties. Third Party Services may display, include or make available content, data, information, applications or materials from third parties (“Third Party Materials”) or provide links to certain third party websites. By using the Third Party Services, the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Logic is not responsible for examining or evaluating the content, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, validity, copyright compliance, legality, decency, quality or any other aspect of the Third Party Materials or websites. Logic does not warrant or endorse and does not assume and will not have any liability or responsibility to the Subscriber or any other person for any Third Party Services, Third Party Materials or third party websites, or for any other materials, products, or services of third parties. Third Party Materials and links to other websites are provided solely as a convenience.

15. Information Received and Confidentiality

The Application will provide Logic with data regarding the Subscriber’s usage of the app, including, but not limited to, content and user account information. Any information provided to us may be stored on Logic’s servers and is subject to these Terms of Use.

Unless expressly authorized in writing by the other party, neither Subscriber nor Logic shall disclose to any third party any Confidential Information of the other, nor use such Confidential Information in any manner other than to perform its obligations under this Agreement. “Confidential Information” means any non-public information and/or materials provided by a party under this Agreement to the other party and reasonably understood to be confidential, but shall not include Materials.

Furthermore, Subscriber will keep in confidence all passwords and/or other access information related to the Services.

16. Entire Agreement

This Agreement represents the entire and integrated agreement between Logic and Subscriber, and supersedes all prior negotiations and/or representations. Furthermore, in the event that the effective dates of any other applicable agreement have lapsed without extension, renewal or replacement, this Agreement becomes the definitive agreement for Subscriber’s use of the Application and Services. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary that might be set forth in a Subscriber Purchase Order, the preprinted terms and conditions on the face and reverse side of a purchase order shall not apply to the parties and are not part of this Agreement.

17. Changes to the Service

Logic may modify, suspend, or terminate the Subscriber’s right to use part of the Application or the Services at any time without notice, and in that event Logic may modify the Application to make it inoperable. Logic will not be liable to the Subscriber should it exercise those rights.

18. Amendment

Logic may amend any of these Terms of Use at its sole discretion by posting the revised terms on the Showcase website or within the Application. The Subscriber’s continued use of the Service or the Application after any amendment’s effective date evidences its agreement to be bound by the revised terms.

19. Conflicts

The terms of these Terms of Use govern the Application and any updates or upgrades to the Application that Logic may provide that replace or supplement the original Application, unless the update or upgrade is accompanied by a separate license, in which case the terms of that license will govern. If Logic provides specific terms of use for a particular Service and there is a conflict between the specific terms of use for the particular Service and these Terms of Use, the specific terms of use for the particular Service will govern.

20. Miscellaneous

a. Relationship of Parties

Logic and Subscriber are independent contractors and this Service Agreement will not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency between Logic and Subscriber. Subscriber shall not, and will have no power to, bind Logic or incur obligations on Logic’s behalf.

b. Assignment

Subscriber may not assign or transfer this Service Agreement without the prior written consent of Logic, and any attempted assignment without such consent will be void. Logic may assign or transfer this Service Agreement at any time. Subject to the foregoing restriction on Subscriber, this Service Agreement is binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

c. Waiver and Severability

Logic’s failure to enforce any term or condition of this Service Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to later enforce such term or condition or any other term or condition of this Service Agreement. If any provision of this Service Agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible, and the remaining provisions of this Service Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

d. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for delays or nonperformance of this Agreement occasioned by acts of God, public enemies, civil disobedience, governmental regulations or decrees, labor disputes, unavailability of materials, equipment failure, strikes, fires, accidents, or any other causes, whether or not of the kind enumerated in this provision, that are beyond such party’s reasonable control. If performance by either party to this Agreement is delayed due to any of the foregoing causes, the delay shall not be deemed a breach under this Agreement, and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If it appears that performance by either party to this Agreement will be delayed due to any of the foregoing causes, the party shall promptly notify the other party in writing stating the cause of the delay and its expected duration and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to carry out performance as soon as reasonably possible.

21. Governing Law

In the event of litigation between Logic and the Subscriber relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit. Michigan law will govern this Agreement. Any litigation or arbitration between Logic and the Subscriber will take place in Washtenaw County, Michigan; both parties waive any objection to personal jurisdiction or venue in any forum located in that county. If any provisions of this agreement are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of this Agreement will be in full force and effect unless the un-enforceability materially diminishes the benefit of the bargain hereunder, in which case, the party whose rights have been reduced will have the option for thirty (30) days after such determination to terminate this Agreement subject to paragraph 7 of the Service Agreement.
