2. THE SERVICES

2.1 Order Form. Client orders the subscription to use the Services described on the Order Form. To the extent there is a conflict between the terms of this SaaS Services Agreement and the terms of the Order Form, the terms of the Order Form will prevail.
2.2 Use of the Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Trovata grants to Client a limited, nontransferable (except in connection with the transfer of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.9), nonexclusive license, without the right to sublicense, to the Services for the defined terms in the Order Form, solely for Client’s internal business use by Authorized Users. Use rights are limited to the purchased usage metrics set forth in the Order Form (e.g., number of accounts or financial institutions). Trovata will use reasonable efforts to improve and enhance its offerings, and will from time-to-time provide upgrades and updates to Client of the Services as and when made generally available; provided, however, that such upgrades and updates shall not apply to new and premium Services that are not listed on the Client’s Order Form. Client agrees and acknowledges that use of the Services in excess of the scope set forth in an applicable Order Form will result in additional fees.
2.3 Use of the Documentation. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Trovata grants to Client a limited, nontransferable (except in connection with the transfer of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.9), nonexclusive license, without right of sublicense, for the defined terms in the Order Form to reproduce, without modification, and internally use a reasonable number of copies of the Documentation solely in connection with Client’s use of the Services in accordance with this Agreement.
2.4 Financial Account Linkage. In order to use the Services, Client will be required to link at least one financial account to the Services. In order to link a financial account, Client agrees to provide true, accurate, current and complete Financial Account Information of a Client account. Client represents and warrants that it is authorized to provide Financial Account Information to Trovata and link the financial accounts to the Services. By linking a financial account to the Services, Client authorizes Trovata and its service providers to periodically access third party sites designated by Client, on Client’s behalf, to retrieve Account Data to provide the purchased Services. Trovata will have no liability or other responsibility for inaccuracy or incompleteness in Financial Account Information, or Client’s inability to use the Services due to such inaccuracy or incompleteness. Trovata makes no representation, warranty or guarantee that accounts at all financial institutions are available for linkage to the Services, because not all financial institutions allow accounts linkage, and financial institutions may discontinue allowing financial account linkage after Client has started using the Services. Trovata will have no liability for lack of ability to link Client’s accounts at all of Client’s financial institutions to the Services.
2.5 Payments Services; Client Transaction Approval Thresholds and Approval Process. Payment requests made through the Payments Services will be transferred to Client’s bank, to be acted upon by Client’s bank without regard to any approval processes set up by Client directly with its bank. As such, Client must establish its desired transaction approval thresholds and approval process within the Payments Services with respect to any payment requests made through the Payments Services, and Client is solely responsible for establishing its desired transaction approval thresholds and the approval process. By initiating payments in the Payments Services, Client represents to Trovata that such transaction approval thresholds and approval processes have been reviewed and approved according to all internal requirements within Client.
2.6 Restrictions. Authorized User accounts cannot be used by more than one individual. Client is responsible for the accuracy, quality and legality of the Client Content. Client is responsible for maintaining the security of its account in the Services and for maintaining the security of the authentication credentials of its Authorized Users, as well as for determining access privileges and rights for Authorized Users. Client is responsible for all uses of its account with or without its knowledge or consent, including the initiation of any payments in the Payments Services, if applicable. Client is responsible for all damages caused by its or an Authorized User’s failure to maintain the security of its account and authentication credentials. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement, Client will not, and will not permit or authorize third parties to: (a) reproduce, modify, translate, enhance, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of the Services or Documentation, unless expressly permitted by applicable law; (b) rent, lease, or sublicense the Services or Documentation or otherwise provide unauthorized access thereto; (c) circumvent or disable any technological or security features or measures in the Services, or (d) use the Services: (i) in a way prohibited by law, regulation, governmental order or decree; (ii) to violate the rights of others; (iii) to try to gain unauthorized access to or disrupt any service, device, data, account or network; (iv) to spam or distribute malware; (v) in a way that could harm the Services, introduce malicious code into the Services, or impair anyone else’s use of the Services. Client will only use the Services and Documentation in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
2.7 Protection against Unauthorized Use. Client will use its best efforts to prevent any Unauthorized Use of the Services and Documentation and will immediately notify Trovata in writing of any Unauthorized Use that comes to Client’s attention, at legal@trovata.io, followed by contacting Client’s customer relationship manager. If there is Unauthorized Use by anyone who obtained access to the Services or Documentation through Client, Client will take all steps reasonably necessary to terminate the Unauthorized Use. Client will reasonably cooperate and assist with any actions that Trovata takes to prevent or terminate Unauthorized Use of the Services or Documentation. Client is directly responsible to Trovata for the conduct of its Authorized Users.
2.8 Payments Services Disclaimer. IF CLIENT WILL HAVE ACCESS TO PAYMENTS SERVICES, CLIENT UNDERSTANDS THAT ANY PERSON WITH ACCESS TO THE AUTHENTICATION CREDENTIALS OF ANY AUTHORIZED USER WILL BE ABLE TO INITIATE PAYMENTS TO THIRD PARTIES, SUBJECT TO THE TRANSACTION APPROVAL THRESHOLDS AND APPROVAL PROCESS SET UP BY CLIENT IN THE PAYMENTS SERVICES AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 2.5. TROVATA WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, LOSSES OR LIABILITY IF CLIENT’S AUTHENTICATION CREDENTIALS ARE NOT KEPT CONFIDENTIAL BY IT OR ANY AUTHORIZED USER, OR FOR THE ACTIONS OF AN UNAUTHORIZED THIRD- PARTY LOGGING INTO AND ACCESSING THE PAYMENTS SERVICES TO INITIATE FRAUDULENT PAYMENTS. CLIENT FURTHER AGREES THAT CLIENT’S BANK IS NOT AN AGENT OF TROVATA, AND TROVATA WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY OF CLIENT’S BANKS.
2.9 Investment Services Access Disclaimer. CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT TROVATA IS NOT A REGULATED FINANCIAL SERVICES FIRM AND DOES NOT PROVIDE FINANCIAL SERVICES TO CLIENT IN CONNECTION WITH CLIENT'S USE OF THE SERVICES. ALTHOUGH CLIENT MAY OBTAIN ACCESS TO INVESTMENT SERVICES PARTNER’S PRODUCTS THROUGH THE USE OF THE TROVATA SERVICES, SERVICES AND FINANCIAL ADVICE PROVIDED THROUGH AN INVESTMENT SERVICES PARTNER ARE OFFERED AND PROVIDED BY EACH SUCH INVESTMENT SERVICES PARTNER OR ONE OR MORE AFFILIATES THEREOF. EACH SUCH INVESTMENT SERVICES PARTNER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING FINANCIAL SERVICES TO CLIENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CLIENT ACCOUNT AGREEMENT, TERMS, CONDITIONS AND POLICIES THAT GOVERN CLIENT’S ACCOUNT WITH SUCH APPLICABLE INVESTMENT SERVICES PARTNER. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, CLIENT DOES NOT RECEIVE ANY FINANCIAL SERVICES FROM TROVATA BY VIRTUE OF THIS AGREEMENT. TROVATA IS ABLE TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE INVESTMENT SERVICES PARTNER PURSUANT TO AN AGREEMENT WITH SUCH INVESTMENT SERVICES PARTNER AND MAY RECEIVE COMPENSATION FROM SUCH INVESTMENT SERVICES PARTNER IN CONNECTION WITH PROVIDING THE INVESTMENT SERVICES PARTNER'S PRODUCT TO MUTUAL CLIENTS. TROVATA IS NOT A CURRENT CLIENT OF ANY SUCH INVESTMENT SERVICES PARTNER. TROVATA MAY HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN CONNECTION WITH PROVIDING THE ACCESS TO INVESTMENT SERVICES PARTNER DUE TO ITS RECEIPT OF COMPENSATION FROM SUCH INVESTMENT SERVICES PARTNER.

3. COMPENSATION

3.1 Fees. Other than amounts disputed in good faith, Client will pay all fees and any other amounts owing under this Agreement as set out on the Order Form, as applicable, plus any applicable VAT, sales, use, excise or other taxes (the “Fees”).
3.2 Payment. Unless otherwise specified in the Order Form, Client will pay all undisputed amounts within thirty (30) days of the date of receipt of the applicable invoice. If Client disputes any invoiced amount, Client will notify Trovata in detail in writing as to the nature of the disputed charges and the reason for Client’s disagreement prior to the due date of the payment, but Client will pay all undisputed charges on the applicable invoice by their due date. Trovata will respond by providing documentation in reasonable detail for the disputed charges. The parties will make all reasonable attempts to resolve the dispute in good faith and as amicably as possible within thirty (30) days. Any undisputed amount not paid when due will be subject to finance charges equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable usury law, whichever is less, determined and compounded daily from the date due until the date paid. Client will also reimburse any reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Trovata to collect any undisputed amount that is not paid when due.
3.3 Taxes. Other than net income and gross receipt taxes imposed on Trovata, Client will bear all taxes, duties, and other governmental charges (collectively, “taxes”) resulting from this Agreement. Client will pay any additional taxes as are necessary to ensure that the net amounts received by Trovata after all such taxes are paid are equal to the amounts that Trovata would have been entitled to in accordance with this Agreement as if the taxes did not exist.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, Trovata maintains the right to increase fees for any such renewed term by no more than the greater of (a) ten percent (10%) and (b) the then-current CPI in effect at the new subscription Term start date; provided, however that this restriction shall not apply to increases in fees related to additional Products and Services.

Without limitation, any failure by Client to timely pay to Trovata any undisputed amounts when due will constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and Trovata may, without limitation of any of Trovata’s other rights and remedies available, suspend performance of any or all Services and Support Services then in progress during any time that Client is in default of such amounts owed to Trovata.
4.4 Notice of Termination. If a party fails to cure any material breach specified in any notice under Section 4.3 within thirty (30) days after the date of the receipt of the written notice (or a later date as may be specified in the notice), then the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement by giving the breaching party written notice of termination.
