Terms and Conditions of Service

PodUP INC. (“PodUP”) helps entrepreneurs create, grow and monetize their businesses with online shows, podcasts and websites. It streamlines creation, production, hosting, distribution, marketing, monetization and management solutions through a software-as-a-service (“SAAS”) platform. Our platforms (collectively, the “Service”) are designed to help you manage the end-to-end process of creating a show. The Service is made available online through our websites, including, but not limited to PodUP.com. These Terms and Conditions of Service apply when you interact with our websites, products and services, and any other sites or services that link or incorporate these Terms and Conditions of Service.

Modifications to This Agreement

From time to time, PodUP may modify this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified by PodUP, modifications become effective when you access any of our websites or services, including, but not limited to, the Service, for the first time following the modification or enter into a new Order, whichever occurs first. PodUP will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any changes through communications via posting the modification online, through your account, email or other means. You may be required to click to accept or otherwise agree to the modified agreement before continuing use of the Service or entering into a new Order. In any event continued use of the Service after the updated version of this Agreement goes into effect will constitute your acceptance of such updated version.

USE OF ANY SERVICE OR PLACING AN ORDER WITH PodUP INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES CONTAINED OR REFERENCED IN THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT USE ANY SERVICE OR PLACE ANY ORDER. FOR CLARITY, EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS LEGALLY BINDING UPON IT. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISIONS THAT REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS.

Permitted Use of Service

During the Subscription Term, you may access and use the Service only for your internal business or personal purposes, in accordance with the subscription service selected by you.

Users

In order to utilize PodUP’s Service, you must become a user. PodUP has different types of users depending on the products used:

• Site Visitors
• Trial Users
• Subscribers

We refer to all types of users collectively as “Users” or “you”. Only Users may access or use the Service. By becoming a User, you agree to keep your login credentials confidential, take commercially reasonable steps to protect them, and not share them with anyone else. You further agree to promptly notify PodUP if you become aware of any compromise of login credentials or any error, omission, deficiency or defect located or discovered on the PodUP platforms.

Subscribers

In order to become a Subscriber, you must submit an “Order.” An Order is any PodUP provided ordering document, subscription purchase, subscription registration, online registration, order description or order confirmation for sales transactions of PodUP Service(s), or any other order or agreement entered into that referencing this Agreement.

Subscription Term

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order, PodUP offers month-to-month Subscription Terms. Monthly Subscription Terms will automatically renew for successive monthly periods, unless either party gives the other party written notice of non-renewal at least 15 calendar days before the end of the current Subscription Term. Upon notice of non-renewal, you will not be charged for the next billing cycle but will not receive any refunds or credits for amounts that have already been charged.

Fees and Taxes

Fees are as advertised or described at the time of each Order. You agree that PodUP may bill your credit card or other payment method for renewals and any unpaid fees, as applicable, on a monthly basis. You may change your payment method information by entering updated information through PodUP’s user interface. Unless the Order provides otherwise, all fees and expenses are due at the time of the Order or at the time of Subscription Term renewal. Fees for renewal Subscription Terms are at PodUP’s then current rates, regardless of any discounted pricing in a prior Order. Late payments are subject to a service charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less. All fees and expenses are non-refundable except as set out in Warranty Remedy or Mitigation and Exceptions. You are responsible for any sales, use, goods and service, value-added, withholding or similar taxes or levies that apply to its Orders, whether domestic or foreign (“Taxes”), other than PodUP‘s income tax. Fees and expenses are exclusive of Taxes.

Expedited Fees

PodUP strives to ensure prompt and timely service. It is anticipated that it may take our ShowAgency service three weeks or longer to produce each episode of your show on your behalf. However, it is acknowledged that at times a need may arise to expedite production for a number of different reasons. As such, should you request expedited production of any episode of your show, PodUP reserves the right to decline any production. However, should PodUP agree to expedite production of any episode, PodUP reserves the right to charge an expedited fee of no less than two hundred dollars ($200.00).

Age Requirement

The Service is not intended for, and may not be used by, anyone under the age of 18. By using the Service, you affirmatively assert that you are over 18 years of age and that you are the person whose name and other information have been provided for the Account in use.

If PodUP cannot do so within 30 days of your warranty claim, either party may terminate the affected Order.

Except for PodUP’s use rights in this Agreement, between the parties you retain all intellectual property and other rights in your content and your materials provided to PodUP.

Liability Cap

Except for Excluded Claims, each party’s (and its suppliers’) entire liability arising out of or related to this Agreement will not exceed in aggregate the actual amounts paid to PodUP by you during the two (2) months prior to any claim being made under this Agreement or at law.

The waivers and limitations set forth in this Agreement apply regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise and will survive and apply even if any limited remedy in this Agreement fails of its essential purpose.

Excluded Claims

“Excluded Claims” means: Your breach of Restrictions or Obligations under this Agreement, either party’s breach of Confidentiality (but excluding claims relating to your content), amounts payable to third parties under your obligation to indemnify PodUP under this Agreement, and/or either party’s willful misconduct.

Indemnification by PodUP

PodUP will defend you from and against any third party claim to the extent alleging that the Service (as opposed to your content), when used by you and as authorized in this Agreement, infringes a third party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret, and will indemnify and hold you harmless against any damages or costs awarded against your (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or agreed in settlement by PodUP resulting from the claim.

Indemnification by You

You will defend PodUP from and against any third party claim to the extent resulting from your content, your data, your materials, or your breach or alleged breach of any obligation set forth in this Agreement, and will indemnify and hold harmless PodUP against any damages or costs awarded against PodUP (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or agreed in settlement by or resulting from the claim.

Indemnification Procedures

The indemnifying party’s obligations hereunder are subject to receiving prompt notice of the claim with the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense and settlement of the claim. As part of the indemnifying party’s indemnification requirement, the indemnified party agrees to all reasonably necessary cooperation, at its own expense. The indemnifying party may not settle any claim without the indemnified party’s prior consent if settlement would require the indemnified party to admit fault or take or refrain from taking any action (other than relating to use of the Service, when PodUP is the indemnifying party). The indemnified party may participate in a claim with its own counsel at its own expense.

Mitigation and Exceptions

In response to an actual or potential claim, infringing or otherwise, if required by settlement or injunction or as PodUP determines necessary to avoid material liability, PodUP may at its option: (a) procure rights for your continued use of the Service, (b) replace or modify the allegedly infringing portion of the Service to avoid infringement or (c) terminate the affected Order and refund to you any pre-paid, unused fees for the terminated portion of the Subscription Term. PodUP’s obligations hereunder do not apply (1) to the extent infringement results from your modification of the Service or use of the Service in combination with items not specified or provided by PodUP, (2) to infringement resulting from software other than the most recent release provided by PodUP, (3) to unauthorized use of the Service, (4) if you make any admissions about a claim without PodUP’s prior consent, (5) if you continue to use the Service (or any element thereof) after being notified of allegedly infringing activity or informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (6) to trials and betas or other free or evaluation use. This sets out your exclusive remedy and PodUP’s entire liability regarding infringement of third party intellectual property rights.

Confidentiality

“Confidential Information” means information disclosed to the receiving party under this Agreement that is designated by the disclosing party as proprietary or confidential or that should be reasonably understood to be proprietary or confidential due to its nature and the circumstances of its disclosure. PodUP’s Confidential Information includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any technical or performance information about the Service. Your Confidential Information includes your content.

Each party covenants and agrees to (a) hold Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose it to third parties except as permitted in this Agreement, and (b) only use Confidential Information to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights in this Agreement. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors and other representatives having a legitimate need to know (including, for PodUP, its subcontractors)

Nonetheless, these confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that the receiving party can document (a) is or becomes public knowledge through no fault of the receiving party, (b) it rightfully knew or possessed prior to receipt under this Agreement, (c) it rightfully received from a third party without breach of confidentiality obligations or (d) it independently developed without using the disclosing party’s Confidential Information.

Unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information may cause substantial harm for which damages alone are an insufficient remedy. As such, each party may seek appropriate equitable relief, in addition to other available remedies, for breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement prohibits either party from making disclosures, including of your content and other Confidential Information, if required by law, subpoena or court order, provided (if permitted by law) it notifies the other party in advance and cooperates in any effort to protect confidential treatment.

Trials and Betas

If you receive access to the Service or Service features on a free or trial basis or as an alpha, beta or early access offering (“trials and betas”), use is permitted only for your internal evaluation during the period designated by PodUP (or if not designated, 30 days). Trials and betas are optional and either party may terminate trials and betas at any time for any reason. Trials and betas may be inoperable, incomplete or include features that PodUP may never release, and their features and performance information are PodUP’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, PodUP provides trials and betas “AS IS” with no warranty, indemnity or support and its liability for trials and betas will not exceed US $25.

Promotional Use

You agree that PodUP may include your name, likeness and/or your trademark(s) in PodUP’s lists and promotional materials.

Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws provisions and without regard to the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. The sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any action related to this Agreement shall be the state courts in and for Madison County, Idaho, and both parties submit to the personal jurisdiction of said courts.

Arbitration

If a dispute arises between the parties to this Agreement, the parties hereby agree to resolve such dispute exclusively via expedited and mandatory binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the procedures in this Agreement and the Arbitration Rules for Professional Accounting and Related Services Disputes of the AAA (“AAA Rules”). In the event of a conflict, the provisions of this Agreement will control.

The arbitration will be conducted before an arbitrator, regardless of the size of the dispute, to be selected as provided in the AAA Rules. Any issue concerning the extent to which any dispute is subject to arbitration, or concerning the applicability, interpretation or enforceability of these procedures, including any contention that all or part of these procedures are invalid or unenforceable, shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and resolved by the arbitrator. No potential arbitrator may serve unless he or she has agreed in writing to abide and be bound by these procedures.

The arbitrator may not award non monetary or equitable relief of any sort, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. They shall have no power to award (i) damages inconsistent with the Agreement or (ii) punitive damages or any other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, and the parties expressly waive their right to obtain such damages in arbitration or in any other forum. In no event, even if any other portion of these provisions is held to be invalid or unenforceable, shall the arbitrators have power to make an award or impose a remedy that could not be made or imposed by a court deciding the matter in the same jurisdiction.

No discovery will be permitted in connection with the arbitration unless it is expressly authorized by the arbitrator upon a showing of substantial need by the party seeking discovery.

All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential, and expedited. Neither the parties nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of the arbitration, except as necessary to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. Before making any such disclosure, a party shall give written notice to all other parties and shall afford such parties a reasonable opportunity to protect their interests.

The result of the arbitration will be binding on the parties, and judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction in accordance with this Agreement.

Attorneys’ Fees and Costs

Should either party bring an action against the other party to this Agreement, whether via arbitration or in a court at law, the prevailing party in any claim or action to enforce this Agreement will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with such claim or action.

Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (except for a failure to pay fees) due to events beyond its reasonable control, such as a pandemic, strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, Internet or utility failures, government action, refusal of government license or natural disaster.

In the event PodUP does not meet this Service Commitment, you may notify PodUP of any deficiencies, and where appropriate, in PodUP’s sole and absolute discretion, an appropriate non-refundable credit will be given that can be used as an offset for use of future Services. This is your sole and only remedy for PodUP’s failure to fulfill its Service Commitment.

1.14.2. Service Interruption. Should any of the Services become interrupted due to a failure or fault of the Services, you agree to notify PodUP immediately of the same. PodUP will have up to twenty-four (24) hours in which to respond and up to five (5) business days in which to provide a resolution, but only insofar as the failure or fault is a result of the Services provided by PodUP and not you or a third-party.

4. PodUP Equipment.

4.1. Equipment. PodUP may make equipment available to you to support your use of the PodUP Service (the “Equipment”). PodUP or its affiliates maintain all rights in the Equipment and is not selling, renting, leasing, or transferring any ownership, intellectual or other rights in the Equipment to you. You will not, and will not purport to, assign, grant, or transfer the Equipment or any interest in the Equipment to any individual or entity, and any such purported assignment, grant or transfer is void.

4.2. Facility Assessment. You will ensure that, at all times, the facility at which the Equipment is located (the “Designated Facility”) meets the minimum requirements necessary to support the installation, maintenance, use, and removal of the Equipment as described here and otherwise as described in any technical documentation or indicated to you during the ordering and installation process.

4.3. Delivery and Use. You will ensure that you have all necessary rights, certifications, and license for the delivery, installation, maintenance, use, and removal of the Equipment at the Designated Facility. You are responsible for any damage to the Equipment while it is at the Designated Facility, unless caused by PodUP. PodUP may terminate your use of the Services and remove the Equipment if you breach these terms or the terms of this Agreement.

4.4. Access to Equipment.

4.6. Services/SLAs/Security. The Hosting Service Terms for any Services that run locally on PodUP Equipment are subject to the same Hosting Service Terms of this Agreement. There are inherent differences between Services running locally on PodUP Equipment from those Services running at PodUP operated facilities because the Equipment is physically located at the Designated Facility where you are responsible for physical security and access controls, as well as all power, networking, and environmental conditions. Due to these differences, any PodUP commitments in the Agreement that depend on PodUP’s operation of such physical security and access controls, or power, networking, and environmental conditions, do not apply to PodUP Equipment or any Services running locally on PodUP Equipment.
