Subject to Customer’s compliance with its obligations under Section 4.2, TD represents and warrants that the Software and Services will perform in all material respects in accordance with the Documentation provided by TD within the Software, website, paper, or CD copies of such Documentation. This warranty shall apply for a period of ninety (90) days following the delivery date and is applicable to the original Customer only and provided that the Software has not been modified by you or any third-party. Any breach not reported within such period will be deemed waived and accepted by Customer.

6.2.2. Warranty for Other Services. TD warrants that the Support Services, the Training Services and any other service set forth in an Order agreed to by Customer (excluding services contemplated by Section 6.2.1) will be performed in a manner that is consistent with generally accepted industry standards for such Service.

Any breach not reported to TD by Customer within thirty (30) days of performance of such Services will be deemed waived and accepted by Customer.

6.2.3. Disclaimers. THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 6.2 ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY ORAL REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES MADE BY OR ON BEHALF OF TD AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

TD does not warrant that the Software will operate in the combinations that Customer may select for use, that the Software will meet Customer’s requirements, that the operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or error-free, free of viruses or any other malicious code, free from any security breach or intrusion, technical or other malfunction or error, that may compromise Customer Data (inclusive, without limitation, of User Data or Student Data) , or fit for its intended purpose, or that all Software errors will be corrected. Any description of the Software contained on TD’s website or promotional materials is for the sole purpose of identifying them, and any such description is not a part of the basis of the bargain and does not constitute a warranty or representation.

6.3. Exclusive Remedies. For any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.2, Customer’s exclusive remedy, and TD’s entire liability, shall be as follows:

6.3.1. With respect a breach of the representation and warranty set forth in 6.2.1, TD shall correct the errors that caused TD to breach its warranty to Customer.

6.3.2. With respect a breach of the representation and warranty set forth in 6.2.2, TD shall re-perform the applicable Service.

6.3.3. If correction of the errors or re-performance of the applicable Service is not feasible or commercially reasonable, TD may refund the fees paid by Customer for the applicable Software or Service at issue.

6.4. Exculpation of Certain Claims; Limitation on Liability; Indemnification by Customer.

6.4.1. Customer shall be liable for (and Customer hereby waives any and all claims which Customer may have against TD for), (a) any inaccuracy in User Data provided by Customer or its Users, (b) the consequences of any instructions Customer may give to TD, and (c) Customer’s failure to protect User account names and passwords. In addition, TD is not responsible for (a) Customer’s access to the Internet, (b) interception or interruptions of communications through the Internet, (c) changes or losses of data through the Internet, (d) problems caused by changes in the operating characteristics of Computer hardware or Computer operating systems, or (e) problems resulting from interaction of the Software with non-TD software.

In no event shall TD be liable under the Agreement for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any damages for business interruption, loss of profits, revenue, data or use, or cost of cover suffered by Customer or by any third party, whether in an action in contract or tort, and even if TD has been advised of or is aware of the possibility of such damages. TD’s total liability for damages suffered by Customer or any of its affiliates under the Agreement or related to the Services shall in no event exceed an amount equal to three (3) times the average monthly fee paid by Customer to TD under the Agreement.

6.4.3. This Section 6.4 sets forth the full extent of TD’s liability for damages resulting from this Agreement and the Services, regardless of the form in which such liability of claim for damages may be asserted. The provisions of the Agreement allocate the risks between TD and Customer. The parties agree that TD’s pricing and other terms and conditions of the Agreement reflect the allocation of risk and the limitation of liability specified herein, and Customer acknowledges that without such limitation on liability and Customer’s agreement to maintain redundant copies of all data provided to TD in connection with the Services, TD would not have entered into this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, TD shall, under no circumstances whatsoever, be liable to Customer or any third-party related to any loss or compromise of Customer Data (inclusive, without limitation, of User Data or Student Data).

 

7. PAYMENT PROVISIONS

7.1. Fees, Invoicing and Payment; Suspension of Service.

7.1.1. Customer shall pay the fees set forth on the Order (or any Addendum, as the case may be) for the Software and Services.

7.1.2. Invoices for payment of all Services shall be in accordance with the applicable Order agreed to by Customer. In the absence of specific provisions in the applicable Order agreed to by Customer, (i) fees for one-time Professional Services or Professional Development (e.g., set-up and Training Services) are due upon acceptance of any Order and prior to delivery of the applicable Service, (ii) recurring fees (e.g., fees for Services) begin on the Service Start Date, and if a monthly payment schedule, shall be payable no less than monthly in advance and due in full on the first day of each month, and (iii) fees that are variable and dependent on actual usage shall be billed monthly in arrears and due upon receipt.

7.1.3. Administrative Fees include, but are not limited to; (i) late charges for any invoice not paid by the applicable due date shall be charged for each 30 days thereafter that such invoice remains unpaid. Additionally, any amounts payable by Customer hereunder which remain unpaid after the due date shall be subject to a finance charge equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted under applicable law, from the due date until the date such amount is paid, (ii) TD will charge a fee for each occurrence if checks or electronic (ACH) payments are returned unpaid or rejected by the issuing bank. Non-sufficient Funds checks or rejected ACH payments must be remitted within 5 working days after the Customer has been notified of the returned check or rejected ACH payment. The rejected amount and all future payments must be in the form of certified check or credit card. If, the NSF check or rejected ACH payment is not remitted within 5 working days, the Customer’s access to, and use of, Software and Services will be terminated.

7.1.4. Without limiting the additional fees and charges that shall be payable by Customer pursuant to Section 7.1.3, if applicable, TD shall have the right, exercisable in its sole and absolute discretion, to suspend Customer’s access to, and use of, the Software and Services, in the event that Customer has not paid any amounts due hereunder by the time such payment is due.

7.1.5. Customer’s payment obligations hereunder with respect to the Services may (if authorized by Customer) be made by direct withdrawal from Customer’s bank account.

TD and Customer each agree to be bound by and comply with the NACHA rules applicable to it with respect to such withdrawals. Any authorization given by Customer shall remain in effect unless and until revoked in writing by an authorized representative of Customer and until Customer’s bank and TD have each received such notice and have had reasonable time to act upon such notice.

7.2. Taxes. The fees listed in the Agreement (including the Order) do not include taxes; there shall be added to all payments hereunder amounts equal to any applicable taxes levied or based on this Agreement, exclusive of taxes based on TD’s net income. If TD is found to be responsible for the withholding and payment of taxes on behalf of Customer, Customer agrees to indemnify TD with respect to the full amount of taxes due, together with applicable interest and penalties. If Customer is required to withhold any tax from any payment, then the amount of the payment will be automatically increased to completely offset such tax so that the amount remitted to TD, net of all taxes, equals the amount invoiced or otherwise due.

7.3. Variable Use Service Fees. Variable use service fees are subject to external costs (such as postage rates, paper, etc.) and therefore are subject to change with 30-day written notice to Customer.

8. GENERAL TERMS

8.3. Notice. Customer agrees to notify TD of any changes to Customer’s business address, business contact, and support contact within ten (10) days of any change thereto. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing or as specifically set forth in the applicable section of the Agreement. To expedite order processing, Customer agrees that TD may treat documents emailed or faxed by Customer to TD as original documents; nevertheless, either party may require the other to exchange original signed documents to evidence an order for Services.

8.4. Other Terms.

8.4.1. The waiver by either party of any default or breach of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other, or subsequent, default or breach.

8.4.2. Except for actions for nonpayment or breach of TD’s proprietary rights in the Software, no action, regardless of form, arising out of the Agreement may be brought by either party more than thirty (30) days after the cause of action has accrued.

8.4.3. The Agreement constitutes the complete agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or representations, written or oral, concerning the subject matter of the Agreement.

8.4.4. TD may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under the Agreement to a third party. Customer may not assign the Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of TD, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; any such assignment without the prior consent of TD shall be void. TD may use subcontractors to perform Services under this Agreement; provided, however, that such subcontracting shall not relieve TD from responsibility for performance of its duties hereunder.

8.4.5. TD has no obligation to any third party by virtue of this Agreement, including any student of any Customer.

8.4.6. If any of the provisions of the Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the entire Agreement, but rather the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, the fullest extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the Agreement.

8.4.7. Customer acknowledges and agrees that calls to and from TD may be monitored or recorded.

8.4.8. TD may modify or amend the terms of the Agreement upon written notice, e-mail or otherwise, to Customer. Following any such notification, Customer shall have the right for a period of thirty (30) days from receipt to inform TD in writing that it does not accept the modification or amendment of the Agreement. If Customer does not notify TD in writing that it does not accept such modification or amendment within such thirty (30) day period, and continues to access and use the Software and/or receive the Services, this shall be deemed agreement by the Customer to the modification or amendment. If Customer properly notifies TD that it does not accept the new terms within the thirty (30) day period, then Customer may continue to access and use the Software until the end of Customer’s then-current term, at which time the Agreement, and Customer’s access to and use of the Software and its receipt of Services, shall terminate.
