MIDLDEV OÜ shall not use or disclose Customer Data except as materially required to perform the Services or as required by law.

  5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

    5.1. Pre-Existing. Each party shall retain exclusive ownership of Intellectual Property created, authored, or invented by it prior to the commencement of the Services. If Customer provides MIDLDEV OÜ with its Customer IP, Customer hereby grants to MIDLDEV OÜ, during the term of the applicable Service Order, a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free, right and license (with right of sub-license where required to perform the Services) to use the Customer IP solely for the purpose of providing the Services. Customer represents and warrants that Customer has all rights in the Customer IP necessary to grant this license, and that MIDLDEV OÜ’s use of Customer IP shall not infringe on the Intellectual Property rights of any third party.

    5.2. Proprietary Rights; Deliverables. Unless otherwise specifically stated in the applicable Service Order, and excluding any Customer IP, as between the parties, MIDLDEV OÜ shall own all Intellectual Property created in providing the Services or contained in the Deliverables.

  6. FEES.

    6.1. Fees. Customer shall pay the Fees due within 30 days from the invoice date. If Customer has arranged for payment by credit card or automated clearing house, MIDLDEV OÜ may charge Customer’s card or account on or after the invoice date.

However, MIDLDEV OÜ may increase Fees following expiration of the Initial Term, any Renewal Term, or during any Auto-Renewal Term on giving at least 90 days advance written notice. For purposes of this clause, “advance written notice” means that the notice has been sent and the customer has acknowledged in writing they received it. (B) Holdover Rates. If Customer continues to use any Services following termination of the Agreement or applicable Service Order, Customer shall be responsible for payment of such Services at MIDLDEV OÜ’s then-current market rates.

Customer shall provide MIDLDEV OÜ with accurate and adequate documentation sufficient to permit MIDLDEV OÜ to determine if any Tax is due. All payments to MIDLDEV OÜ shall be made without any withholding or deduction for any taxes except for Local Withholding Taxes. Customer agrees to timely provide MIDLDEV OÜ with accurate factual information and documentation of Customer’s payment of any such Local Withholding Taxes. MIDLDEV OÜ shall remit such cost to Customer in the form of a credit on Customer’s outstanding account balance following receipt of sufficient evidence of payment of any such Local Withholding Taxes.

    6.4. Reimbursement for Expenses. Unless otherwise agreed in the Service Order, if any of the Services are performed at Customer’s premises, Customer agrees to reimburse MIDLDEV OÜ for the actual substantiated out-of-pocket expenses of its Representatives.

MIDLDEV OÜ is not responsible for error by the Payment Processor. By choosing to use the Services, you agree to pay MIDLDEV OÜ, through the Payment Processor, all charges at the prices then in effect for any use of the Services in accordance with the applicable payment terms, and you authorize MIDLDEV OÜ, through the Payment Processor, to charge your chosen payment provider.

    19.1. Some terms are incorporated into the Agreement by reference to pages on the MIDLDEV OÜ website and MIDLDEV OÜ may revise those terms from time to time (including the MSA).

The headings or captions in the Agreement are for convenience only. If over time Customer enters into multiple agreements for a given Customer Configuration (for example to add additional components or services) then the most recent terms referenced in the Service Order(s) shall govern the entirety of the Services for the given Customer Configuration.

    19.2. Unless otherwise expressly permitted in the Agreement, the terms of the Agreement may be varied only by a written agreement signed by both parties that expressly refers to the Agreement.

The pre-printed terms of Customer’s purchase order or other business form or terms that Customer provides shall be void and of no effect.

    19.3. If any part of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the rest of the Agreement shall continue in effect, and the unenforceable part shall be reformed to the extent possible to make it enforceable and give business efficacy to the Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that the pricing and other terms in the Agreement reflect and are based upon the intended allocation of risk between the parties and form an essential part of the Agreement. Each party may enforce its respective rights under the Agreement even if it has waived the right or failed to enforce the same or other rights in the past. The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors and not business partners. Neither party is the agent for the other and neither party has the right to bind the other on any agreement with a third party. Other than Representatives for the purposes of sections 7, 10, and 11, or as otherwise specifically designated a “Third Party Beneficiary”, there are no third party beneficiaries to the Agreement. The use of the word “including” means “including without limitation”.

  3. NO HIGH RISK USE.

  8. AUP BREACH. If Customer breaches the AUP (including unintentionally, resulting from Customer’s failure to use reasonable security precautions, or as a result of activity occurring without Customer authorization) MIDLDEV OÜ may block any content or traffic, suspend the Services, or terminate the Services in accordance with the Agreement. No credit shall be available under any Service Level Agreement for interruptions of Services resulting from AUP breach. Customer’s use of the Services to assist another person in an activity that would breach this AUP if performed by Customer is an AUP breach.
