Fees and Payments
Short version: This Section describes the process by which Client will be billed for its annual subscription as well as detailing the penalties for failure to pay in a timely manner and the treatment of sales tax.
2.1. Fees: Client will pay Stello the license fees set forth in the Order (“License Fees”). Stello or its partners may provide consulting or other professional services (the “Professional Services”) to Client upon request and agreement of the parties. The fees for any Professional Services (“Professional Service Fees”, and together with the License Fees, the “Fees”) will be priced in an Order or separate Professional Services Agreement. All Fees will be due and payable within 30 days of receipt of the applicable invoice issued by Stello. All Fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable, except as otherwise provided herein or in any Professional Services Agreement. Client is responsible for maintaining complete and accurate billing and contact information within the Service. Unless Stello has agreed to an alternative payment arrangement, Client must provide Stello with a valid credit card number and any other payment information required for Stello to process Client’s payment. By submitting that information to Stello or a third party credit card processor, Client agrees that it has authorized Stello and/or the processor to charge the credit card for all Fees, including monthly fees and any overages. Stello or a third party credit card processor will automatically bill the credit card provided by Client or other form of payment submitted as part of the order process for the Fees and Client hereby consents to such automatic billing. Stello reserves the right to change the License Fees in its sole discretion; provided, however, that Stello shall provide three months prior written notice to Client and the revised License Fees shall not be effective until the Client’s renewal term following the effective date of the new License Fees.
2.2. Late Fee: Payments will accrue interest at the rate of one and a half percent (1%) of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid. If Client’s account is 15 days or more overdue, Stello may, in addition to any of its other rights or remedies, upon written notice, suspend Customer’s access to the Service until such amounts are paid in full. If such failure to pay has not been cured within 30 days of the due date, then upon written notice, Stello may terminate this Agreement and any or all outstanding Orders in accordance with Section 3 below.
2.3. Sales & Use Taxes: All fees payable to Stello by Client hereunder are exclusive of any sales taxes, use taxes, value added taxes and similar taxes applicable to the provision of Services or the license of the Software, specifically excluding any taxes based on Stello’s net income. If Stello incurs or is required to collect or pay any federal, state or local taxes based on the Software, Services or other deliverables, such taxes will be billed to and paid by Client. Client must provide Stello with accurate information to help it to determine whether any such taxes are due.
Term & Termination
Short version: This section details the term of the Agreement and each party’s right to terminate the Agreement.
3.1. Term: This Agreement will continue during the period set forth on the Order (“Initial Term”). 30-days prior to the end of the Initial Term or any subsequent renewal term equal in length to the Initial Term (each, a “Renewal Term,” together with the Initial Term, the “Term”), Stello will notify the Client about the upcoming renewal of this Agreement (including each Order hereunder). The Agreement will renew for additional consecutive terms equal in length to the Renewal Term, unless either party provides to the other notice of its intention not to renew this Agreement during the 30-day period. If you do not wish your Account subscription to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your subscription, please contact Stello.

Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights
Short version: This section details each party’s obligations with respect to the other party’s confidential information. These obligations are mutual, and we expect the same level of care with respect to our confidential information you expect from us. Further explanation of our treatment of information provided by you may be found in our Privacy Policy
4.1. Confidential Information: “Confidential Information” means all confidential information disclosed by Stello or Client (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), that is marked in writing as “confidential” or by a similar designation or that otherwise should be considered confidential information based on the nature of the information and circumstances of disclosure. For clarity, Confidential Information also includes Client Data, and Stello’s pricing, the non-public parts of the Service, its user interface, design and layout, and any related non-public specifications, documentation or technical information that Stello provides to Client and/or Authorized Users. Confidential Information will not include any information that
- a) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party;
b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party;
c) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or
d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.
4.2. Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care). The Receiving Party may only use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement. Except as expressly authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, the Receiving Party will limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees, contractors or agents who need such access to perform obligations under this Agreement and who are bound to terms as least as restrictive as those in this Agreement. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third party (other than its Affiliates and their legal counsel and accountants) without the other party’s prior written consent.
4.3. Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. The Receiving Party may also disclose Confidential Information to enforce the terms of this Agreement and to respond to claims that any Data violates the rights of third parties.
4.4. Ownership. The Services (including the Software and Documentation), and all worldwide Intellectual Property Rights in each of the foregoing, are the exclusive property of Stello and its suppliers. All rights in and to the Services (including the Software and Documentation) not expressly granted to Client in this Agreement are reserved by Stello and its suppliers. Except as expressly set forth herein, no express or implied license or right of any kind is granted to Client regarding the Services (including the Software and Documentation), or any part thereof, including any right to obtain possession of any source code, data or other technical material related to the Software.
WARRANTY
Short version: This section outlines the warranties granted, and those that are not granted, with respect to the Software.

The foregoing warranty shall not apply to performance issues of the Software (a) caused by factors outside of Stello’s reasonable control; (b) that result from any actions or inactions of Client or any third parties; or (c) that result from Client’s data structures, operating environment, or equipment. If the Software does not perform as warranted, Stello will, at its own expense, promptly correct any warranty breach. If, after making reasonable efforts to do so, Stello cannot provide the correction as described above, either party will be entitled to terminate the Order pursuant to Section 3, and Client will be entitled to a refund of any pre-paid fees for the period after the date of termination.
5.2. DISCLAIMERS: NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, STELLO DOES NOT WARRANT THAT CLIENT’S USE OF THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. OTHER THAN THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN SECTION 5.1, STELLO MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AND HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE SERVICES AND THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES AS TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SYSTEM AVAILABILITY OR RELIABILITY, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE. NO REPRESENTATION OR STATEMENT WILL BE BINDING UPON COMPANY AS A WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE UNLESS EXPRESSLY CONTAINED OR REFERENCED IN AN ORDER OR THIS AGREEMENT. CLIENT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE ARE RISKS INHERENT IN INTERNET CONNECTIVITY THAT COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CLIENT DATA OR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. CLIENT ASSUMES SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR RESULTS OBTAINED FROM ITS AUTHORIZED USERS’ USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES OR AND FOR CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM SUCH USE.
Indemnification
Short version: This section outlines the indemnification obligations of both Stello and the Client.
6.1. By Stello: Stello agrees to defend Client, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees (“Client Indemnitees”) against any third party suits alleging that the Services as delivered by Stello infringes or violates any third party intellectual property rights, and to indemnify and hold harmless such Client Indemnitees for all penalties, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees, court costs, damages awarded or costs of settlements entered into with respect to the third party claim. Stello has no liability if the alleged infringement or violation is based on: (i) a modification of the Software by Client or Client’s agent without Stello’s authorization, (ii) Client’s use of the Software in a manner contrary to the written instructions given to it by Stello, or (iii) the use of the Software after notice of the alleged or actual infringement from Stello or any appropriate authority. In the event of such third-party claim, Stello may, at its option, modify the Software to avoid the claim while maintaining substantially similar functionality or obtain a license to resolve the claim. In the event Stello is unable to achieve either of the foregoing on reasonable commercial terms, Stello may terminate the Order and provide Client a pro rata refund of any prepaid but unearned fees.
6.2. By Client: Client agrees to defend Stello and its officers, directors and employees (“Stello Indemnitees”) against any third-party suits arising from or in connection with (i) use of the Services by Client or any Authorized User in violation of this Agreement; (ii) Client Data uploaded or transmitted to the Service by Client or an Authorized User the transmission, storage or use of Client Data (whether based on a theory of infringement, unlawful use, violation of privacy or otherwise), and to indemnify and hold harmless such Stello Indemnitees for all penalties, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees, court costs, damages awarded or costs of settlements entered into with respect to the third party claim.
6.3. Procedure: The indemnifying party’s obligations under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 shall be subject to the following:
(a) the indemnifying party is given prompt notice of such claim by the party seeking indemnification, provided that failure to give prompt notice shall relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification obligation only to the extent that the delay materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend against the claim(s);
(b) each party provides reasonable cooperation to the other in the defense and settlement of such claim; and
(c) the indemnifying party is given sole authority to defend or settle the claim, as long as no settlement requires the indemnified party to pay any amount or admit liability or wrongdoing.
Limitation of Liability
Short version: This section sets forth the limitations on potential liabilities arising under the Agreement. The limitations apply equally to each party. The limitations do not apply to either party’s indemnification obligations.
7.1. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR REVENUE, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND WHETHER ANY CLAIM FOR RECOVERY IS BASED ON THEORIES OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR TORT (INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY). THE FOREGOING EXCLUSION WILL NOT REDUCE EITHER PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 6 OR A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREIN.
7.2. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY CLIENT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE CLAIM, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF CLAIM OR ACTION. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN STELLO AND CLIENT AND THAT STELLO’S PRICING REFLECTS THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK AND THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SPECIFIED HEREIN. THE FOREGOING EXCLUSION WILL NOT APPLY TO EITHER PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 6 OR A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREIN.
