These Terms of Use and all Orders (collectively referred to as the “Agreement”) represent the parties’ entire understanding regarding the Platform and shall govern over any different or additional terms of any purchase order and no terms included in any such purchase order shall apply to the Platform unless such different terms are stated specifically in a mutually signed Order.

Customer agrees that it will supply accurate and complete information to Tagado, and that it will update that information promptly after it changes. Customer represents and warrants that it has full right and authority to provide Tagado with the foregoing information, including, without limitation, any third party’s consent (to the extent required under any applicable law).
3. Platform Availability

The terms of the Agreement will apply to any such changes and/or updates that Tagado may make available to Customer. If, in Tagado’s reasonable judgment, any such modification to the Platform materially reduces its functionality, Tagado will endeavor to inform Customer via the e-mail address associated with Customer’s Account no less than fourteen (14) days prior to such change. Customer’s continued access and/or use of the Platform following such changes or modifications shall be deemed to be Customers acceptance of the revised Platform.

- Late Payments. Any payments by Customer that are not paid on or before the date such payments are due under the Agreement shall bear interest of one percent (1%) per month.

7. Confidentiality
-
- The parties acknowledges that the other has and is expected to have access to information that relates to the other party’s, its business, assets, financial condition, affairs, activities, plans and projections, customers, suppliers, partners, and other third parties with whom said party agreed or agrees, from time to time, to hold information of such party in confidence (the “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, the Platform and any know-how disclosed by Tagado, trade secrets and other proprietary information and personally identifiable Customer Data. The restriction herein shall not apply to the extent that such information is in the public domain or hereafter falls into the public domain through no fault of either party. Each party agrees not to use said Confidential Information for any purpose except as necessary to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement. Each party shall protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of the other party’s Confidential Information to the same degree that it takes to protect its own confidential information and in no event less than reasonable care. Each party may disclose, distribute, or disseminate the other party’s Confidential Information to any of its officers, directors, members, managers, partners, employees, contractors, or agents (its “Representatives”), provided that the party reasonably believes that its Representatives have a need to know, and such Representatives are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those contained herein. If any party is legally compelled to disclose any of the other party’s Confidential Information, such party will provide the other party prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that it may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Section. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or the disclosing party waives compliance with the provisions of this Section, the receiving party may furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which it is advised by its counsel is legally required to be disclosed and will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that confidential treatment will be afforded such disclosed portion of the Confidential Information.

The disclosing party will not be required to post a bond or other security in connection with the granting of any such relief.
