Customer agrees to provide Market Genie with reasonable access and use of Customer’s applications, programs, data, internet, intranet, and other network resources in order to perform the Services without interference. In some instances, this may entail providing Market Genie with access to such network resources remotely. If, as a result of Customer’s failure to provide Market Genie with the access or assistance as described above, or for any other reason within the Customer's reasonable control, the deadline for performing the Services (as mutually agreed by both parties prior to performing the Services) is extended, Market Genie reserves the right to charge Customer at Market Genie’s then-current hourly rates for all Services performed beyond that deadline. If either Party proposes a change to the scope of the Services set forth in the Sales Order, the other Party will reasonably and in good faith consider and discuss with the other Party the proposed change. Upon agreement of a proposed change, if the changes are significant and substantial in nature, Market Genie reserves the right to require that the additional work be committed to writing in a new Sales Order. Further, Customer acknowledges that any requested additional work from Market Genie may increase costs and extend any applicable schedules set prior to the change request.

Shipments will be directed to the address set forth in the applicable Sales Order. Unless specified in writing by Customer, Market Genie will select the mode of shipment and the carrier. Market Genie shall include shipping and insurance charges on invoices to Customer, which shall be Customer’s sole responsibility. Market Genie will use reasonable efforts to meet Customer’s requested delivery schedules, but reserves the right to refuse, cancel, or delay shipment when Customer’s credit is impaired, when Customer is delinquent in payments or fails to meet other delivery, credit, or financial requirements reasonably established by Market Genie, or when Customer has otherwise failed to perform any material obligation of this Agreement.

Without prejudice to its other rights and remedies, if Market Genie does not receive any payment by its due date, Market Genie may assess a late payment charge on the unpaid amount at the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate allowed under applicable law, whichever is more.

Accordingly, in the event that this Agreement terminates prior to the end of the then-current term for any reason other than an uncured material breach by Market Genie, Customer agrees to pay Market Genie all fees and charges that would have otherwise been due to Market Genie pursuant to Section 3.1 had the Agreement continued until the end of the then-current term. The Parties agree that this is a fair allocation of risk in light of the fees and charges specified in the applicable Sales Orders.
    1. Software License and Hosting Services.
    2. Customer Software License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Market Genie hereby grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable (but only as provided herein) license to use the Software identified on any approved Sales Order attached hereto and all Documentation related thereto for the term set forth in the Sales Order, solely by End Users in the ordinary course of Customer’s business.

    5. Third Party Licenses. Customer acknowledges and agrees that MARKET GENIE’s ability to grant the rights and licenses granted to Customer under this Agreement, including any rights and licenses to the Integrated Content and the Hosting Services, may be contingent upon rights, titles, and licenses (“Third Party Licenses”) being obtained by MARKET GENIE from third parties and remaining unchanged and in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement and thereafter. Should any one or more Third Party Licenses be cancelled, terminated, rescinded, not renewed, or, as applicable, changed, Customer’s rights to use all or, as applicable, the affected portions of the Software, the Integrated Content, or the Hosting Services, as applicable, shall automatically and without notice terminate or, as applicable, change to the extent necessary or appropriate under the applicable Third Party License, which termination or change shall not constitute a breach by MARKET GENIE of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

As between Customer and MARKET GENIE, Customer is solely responsible for the selection and design of Customer’s business controls and the implementation of those controls within Customer’s organization on the access and use, and the security of Customer Data transmitted in connection with the Software and the Hosting Services (these controls also include any procedures necessary to safeguard the integrity and security of Customer Data from access by unauthorized personnel). Customer understands that the use of the Software may involve the transmission of Customer Data over the Internet and over various networks, only part of which may be owned or operated by MARKET GENIE, and that MARKET GENIE takes no responsibility for data that is lost, altered, intercepted, or stored without Customer’s authorization during the transmission of any data whatsoever across networks whether or not owned or operated by MARKET GENIE. Customer Data is the property of the Customer. Customer may request a copy of the Customer Data during the term of the Agreement and for thirty days following the termination of the Agreement.
