E. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
You acknowledge and agree that the terms of your Order Form, any other negotiations that we may enter into with you, any product feedback that you provide and any non-public product roadmaps or other information that we provide to you will be our confidential information. During and after the Term of this Agreement, you will not use (except for performance of this Agreement) or disclose any such confidential information to any party without our prior written consent and you will protect such information from public disclosure. You may, however, disclose any such confidential information only to those employees, advisors and agents of yours who have a need to know such information (and only to the extent necessary) in support of your business and who are bound by confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations at least as protective as those set forth herein.
F. TERMINATION
In the case of any Services that are provided to you without charge, either party may terminate the Services at any time by notifying the other party by any means. We may take up to thirty (30) days to process your termination notice.
In the case of Services provided for charge, except as may be set forth otherwise in any Addendum hereto or in any Order Form, 1NERD may terminate this Agreement for convenience, at any time and without penalty, by providing written mail or email notice to your last provided physical address or email. You may not terminate prior to the expiration of the term of your paid-for Services. As a reminder, any subscription services will automatically renew, unless you provide a written notice of termination to us at least thirty (30) days prior your subscription expiration date (see “Subscription Services”).
In the event you or we terminate your Agreement before the end of your current term, you will be responsible for all charges remaining on your Agreement. All charges remaining on your Agreement shall be due no later than 20 days after the date you communicate your termination to 1NERD (“Due Date”), and you authorize 1NERD to process payment for all unpaid charges remaining on your Agreement on such Due Date. In the event of any dispute concerning the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including any action instituted to enforce this Fees provision, then the prevailing party shall be entitled to all costs incurred, including collection agency costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
In all cases, 1NERD may also at its sole option terminate or suspend any and all Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any or no reason, including without limitation if 1NERD has a good faith belief that you have (i) breached any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement; (ii)repeatedly or purposefully posted inaccurate or outdated User Information; or (iii) failed to honor appointments booked using the Services. Upon any termination, your right to use the Services and access Content will immediately cease. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason (i) all licenses granted to you hereunder shall automatically terminate and you will (i) remove any of the Services implemented on your properties, (ii) delete any 1NERD Content and 1NERD Marks from the same and from your possession and (iii), to the extent applicable, you will either return to 1NERD, or destroy and remove from all computers, hard drives, networks, and other storage media, all copies of any materials licensed pursuant to this Agreement and any 1NERD Confidential Information in your possession; and upon request you will promptly certify in writing to 1NERD that such actions have been taken.
Following any termination of Services, you will remain liable for any obligations incurred or charges accrued prior to the termination. As stated earlier, you will not be permitted to re-activate any terminated Services account (or open a new account) if you or anyone under your control still has a delinquent prior Services account.
Upon termination, we may, but will not be obligated to continue to store any of your User Content and other data relating to your account.
G. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; GOVERNING LAW; VENUE
You and 1NERD agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Services, this Agreement and any Order Form or other agreement or understanding entered into between you and 1NERD will be determined by binding arbitration (or, if we deem the amount to be small enough in small claims court, at our choosing). You agree that, by agreeing this Agreement, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and 1NERD are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your use of or membership to the Services.
To seek arbitration or to file a small claim court action against 1NERD, you must first send to 1NERD, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim, including a description of the basis for the claim and the relief being sought, to: General Counsel, 1NERD, Inc., 134 N 4th Street Brooklyn NY 11249. If we initiate arbitration, we will send a similar written notice to the email address used for your Services account. Following either party’s receipt of such a written notice, the parties agree to first use reasonable efforts to reach an amicable resolution to the claim. However, if the parties cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the notice is received, you or 1NERD may commence an arbitration proceeding (or, at our discretion if we think the matter is small enough, file a claim in small claims court.)
The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The arbitrator will be bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues will be for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless the parties agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the greater Tampa, Florida area.
Further, unless both parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
YOU AND 1NERD AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
YOU AND 1NERD FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN SIX (6) MONTHS AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES OR THE APPLICABLE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS PERIOD. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE PERMANENTLY BARRED.
A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. Any cause of action arising out of or related to the Services must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, excluding its conflicts of law rules, and the United States of America. Any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be finally settled by the state and federal courts located in the State of Florida. Use of the Services is not authorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation, this section.

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, then such provision will be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the Parties in a manner that complies with applicable law. The remainder of this Agreement, if capable of performance, will remain in full force and effect.
Entire Agreement and Amendments.
This Agreement, together with any applicable Order Form (if applicable) constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, agreements and understandings (oral or written) between the Parties with respect thereto. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and any governing Order the Order Form shall govern.
Waiver.
No waiver of or with respect to any provision of this Agreement, nor consent by a Party to the breach of or departure from any provision of this Agreement, shall in any event be binding on or effective against such Party unless it be in writing and signed by such Party, and then such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it is given.

WEBSITE SERVICES ADDENDUM
A. GENERALLY
Website Services typically include the development, deployment and continued hosting of a 1NERD-powered website that will reside at a domain that you provide and be integrated with other elements of the Services (your “1NERD Site”). The 1NERD Site will be created by 1NERD, leveraging a 1NERD website template that can be customized with your branding, as set forth herein and in your applicable Order Form. All additional elements relating to your 1NERD Site structure and the development timeline and corresponding commitments needed from you will be set forth in your Order Form.
CHARGES
1NERD Charges
Website Services are billed on a recurring, subscription basis (see “Subscription Billing” herein) but may include additional upfront charges or other costs, depending upon your customization and implementation. The cost specifically applicable to your Website Services will be as set forth on your Order Form.
Site Hosting.
1NERD may utilize a third-party provider to host your 1NERD Site. We may manage your hosting directly with such provider or we may require that you create a direct account with the provider. In all cases, we will use reasonable efforts to select a high-quality provider, but you agree that we will not be responsible for hosting outages or failures of the third-party provider.
Site Operations.
You will be responsible for maintaining your site domain and any other costs and expenses associated with managing and operating your 1NERD Site.
B. SITE DEVELOPMENT
The Site
1NERD will develop your 1NERD Site in accordance with any specifications set forth in the Order Form and these terms. 1NERD has developed the 1NERD Site web template(s) using standard programming languages (HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc.), that are intended to be optimized for currently major web and mobile browsers. Users of older or less capable browsers or devices may experience a less optimized design and overall experience. 1NERD’s website template(s) has not been tested or built for old or abandoned browsers, for example Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or 5.5 for Windows or Mac, previous versions of Apple’s Safari, Mozilla Firefox or Opera. The 1NERD Site templates may also not be compatible with all new browsers and devices. 1NERD does not guarantee improvements to Customer’s website’s search engine ranking, but the web pages that are developed are accessible to search engines.
Branding
Certain areas of the 1NERD Site templates permit branding customization. For clarity, no other branding customization will be facilitated by 1NERD. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that we include and require that you maintain certain 1NERD co-branding (such as “Powered by 1NERD”) on areas of the 1NERD Site. You expressly agree not to interfere with or remove any such 1NERD co-branding from your 1NERD Site and you will comply with any guidelines that we may provide in that respect. You will procure your site domain and provide 1NERD with necessary access tools. You will also provide any branding and related creative assets requested by 1NERD, as need for 1NERD to complete the site template(s). The foregoing will include but may not necessarily be limited elements of text/web copy, high resolution graphics/photos/designs, a logo, and other artwork and information. You agree to review work, provide feedback and approval in a timely and reasonable manner when requested and otherwise in accordance with any schedule(s) set out in the Order Form.
Guarantees, License and Limitations
You hereby guarantee to 1NERD that all elements of any text, trademarks, or other artwork and information that you provide to us or any of our partners for inclusion in the 1NERD Site are either owned by you, or that you have a valid license and permission to allow us to use them and include them within the 1NERD Site, as permitted hereunder. You hereby grant to 1NERD a royalty-free, worldwide, unrestricted right to use such contents through the relationship of the contract for the purpose of providing the Services. 1NERD hereby grants to you a license to access, use and display your 1NERD Site and any related site template tools that we make available to you, solely through the relationship of the contract set forth on your Order Form, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement. You hereby acknowledge and agree that 1NERD owns and will retain ownership to all code and any site copy that is not provided directly by you and the unique combination of these elements that constitutes a complete design of the 1NERD Site templates that we provide to you. You have no right to resell, license or otherwise transfer any aspect of a 1NERD Site or 1NERD Site template and understand that your right to access, use and display any of the same will end when your license is terminated as set forth above. 1NERD makes no representations, warranties or guarantees, of any kinds, that your 1NERD Site and any functionality, including any elements of the Services contained therein will always be available or error-free and you agree that 1NERD will not be liable to your or any third party for damages of any kind, including but not limited to lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages arising out of the operation of or inability to operate your 1NERD Site or any element of it.
1NERD will use reasonable efforts to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 – Level A (as published on June 5, 2018 – currently published and available at this URL ) (“WCAG 2.1, Level A”) in the developing of and for the launch of your 1NERD Site, as well as updates to it that 1NERD makes. 1NERD does not, however, represent or warrant that your 1NERD Site will conform to WCAG 2.1, Level A, and you and 1NERD agree that 1NERD shall not be liable to you for any claim, loss, damage, attorneys’ fees, or costs relating to the conformance to WCAG 2.1, Level A, or alleged accessibility issues with your 1NERD Site under any circumstances or legal theory, including, but not limited to, breach of contract, equitable or contractual indemnity, contribution, violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act or similar state laws or joint and several liability.
POST TERMINATION; OWNERSHIP
Following any termination of the Website Services, you understand that, except with respect to any of Your Marks, 1NERD will retain ownership to all aspects of the 1NERD Site design, UI and any content contained thereon and you will be prohibited from utilizing any of the same after the Term. 1NERD will use reasonable efforts to maintain and store all core assets that it contributed to the 1NERD Site for up to 180 days after contract termination, at which point all assets may be destroyed. You agree to store any of your own creative assets and/or any data that you may derive from your operation of the 1NERD Site (solely as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) safely as 1NERD is not required to keep or store any of the same.
API SERVICES ADDENDUM
A. GENERALLY
These additional terms supplement the terms of the Agreement and specifically relate to your use of 1NERD’s API, including but not limited to any XML data feed, any data transferred in JSON format via HTTP and any other data or information transferred via the API. All additional elements relating to your access to and use of the API will be set forth in your Order Form.
API ACCESS
1NERD will assign you a unique key to access and employ the API (the “API Key”). The API Key enables you to access and use the API on a nonexclusive basis. All calls to the API made by Your Services must include the unique API Key. You must keep the API Key confidential. You are solely responsible for all uses of the API under the API Key. You will not employ scripting mechanisms or otherwise programmatically register and/or attempt to generate API Keys. In addition, you must provide accurate contact information as requested by 1NERD in connection with Your Services and request for an API Key, and you agree to promptly notify 1NERD in writing of any changes in such information.
ADDITIONAL LICENSE TO YOU
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the supplementary terms of this API Services Addendum, 1NERD hereby grants to you during the Term, a revocable, limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, worldwide, royalty-free (subject to any agreed to fees) license to (i) access and use the API solely for the purposes of developing, testing, displaying, and distributing the Services for the Permitted Purpose to your customers; and (ii) use, reproduce, distribute, and transmit 1NERD Content solely to the extent necessary to format, display and make it available to your customers through your site and services that are made available in the United States of America. If 1NERD believes, in its sole discretion, that any provision of the Agreement has been violated by you, the licenses granted to you herein may be temporarily or permanently revoked, with or without notice.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES.
In addition to all of the other restrictions and obligations set forth in this Agreement relative to the Services generally, you agree to comply with any instructions and guidelines provided to you by 1NERD in conjunction with the API, as they may be updated from time to time.
1NERD will provide a tracking script that needs to be fired, providing 1NERD’s listing ID, each time the ‘detail’ view of a provided listing is viewed, both on any internal systems used by Company, and on any public facing webpages or applications where listings are displayed.
For any listings that are contacted through your system, you must provide 1NERD a record of the 1NERD listing ID via a JSON feed updated no less than daily for the contacted listing, the time of contact, and the type of contact. We may require additional reasonable cooperation from you to facilitate your use of our data via the API as contemplated herein.
If requested by 1NERD, you must provide 1NERD with valid (and updated) user logins to (i) all systems and products required to feed your User Data to the 1NERD API, specifically for 1NERD’s use of the same as part of the Services described herein, and (ii) any system or service which you will be pushing any 1NERD Content to or using or storing any 1NERD Content within.
If any affiliate or third party accesses or uses the API on your behalf (which you will not allow without our express permission), you are responsible for ensuring such third party complies with the provisions of the Agreement at all times while accessing or using the API or any 1NERD Content.
In displaying or using data from the API, you alone are responsible to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 – Level A (as published on June 5, 2018 – currently published and available at this URL ) (“WCAG 2.1, Level A”). You and 1NERD further agree that 1NERD shall not be liable to you for any claim, loss, damage, attorneys’ fees, or costs relating to or arising from your use of the API and conformance to WCAG 2.1, Level A, or alleged accessibility issues under any circumstances or legal theory, including, but not limited to, breach of contract, equitable or contractual indemnity, contribution, violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act or similar state laws or joint and several liability.
CHARGES
Your fees for accessing the API will be as set forth in your Order Form.
SERVICE COMMITMENTS; DISCLAIMERS
Absent any exigent circumstances, we will deliver the API via the JSON feed within five (5) business days of the effective date set forth on your Order Form.
1NERD represents and warrants to you that it shall perform the API Services in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with generally recognized industry standards for similar services. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE, 1NERD MAKES NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE API SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY (A) WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY; (B) WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; (C) WARRANTY OF TITLE; OR (D) WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE OR OTHERWISE. ALL OF THE DISCLAIMERS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT RELATIVE TO 1NERD’S PROVISION OF THE SERVICES GENERALLY SHALL ALSO APPLY TO THE API SERVICES.
API SUPPORT
You may submit inaccuracy reports by emailing support@1nerd.com and 1NERD will respond within one (1) business day. Unless otherwise expressly agreed between the parties in writing, this Agreement does not entitle you to any support for the API. You are solely responsible for providing all support and technical assistance to end users of your sites, products and services. You acknowledge and agree that 1NERD has no obligation to provide support or technical assistance to the users of your sites, products and services and you shall not represent to any such users that 1NERD will provide such support. You agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide reasonable support to users of your own sites, products and services.
