This Software as a Service Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legal document between Paccurate, LLC (“Paccurate”) and the company with whom you are employed or engaged and on whose behalf you are accepting the terms of this Agreement ( “Customer”).

(c) Force Majeure. In no event shall either Party be liable to the other Party, or be deemed to have breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement (except for any obligations to make payments), if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond such Party's reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, or passage of law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo.

(f) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of New York. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the licenses granted hereunder will be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the city of New York and County of New York, and each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action, or proceeding.

No assignment or delegation will relieve the assigning or delegating Party of any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
(h) Export Regulation. Customer shall comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), that prohibit or restrict the export or re-export of the Services or any Customer Data outside the US.
(i) US Government Rights. Each of the Documentation and the software components that constitute the Services is a "commercial item" as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212. Accordingly, if Customer is an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefor, Customer only receives those rights with respect to the Services and Documentation as are granted to all other end users, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. § 227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. § 227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. § 12.212, with respect to all other US Government users and their contractors.
(j) Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Section 6 or, in the case of Customer, Section 2(c), would cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
(k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of which together are deemed to be one and the same agreement.
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit A have the meaning given to those terms in the Agreement.
The Services consist of a software as a service (SaaS) cartonization and shipping platform referred to as “Paccurate”(not to be confused with the defined term “Paccurate” in this Agreement referring to Paccurate LLC, the provider of the Paccurate SaaS platform) designed to enable customers to reduce product shipping costs and packaging waste by advising customers on the optimal way to pack and ship customers’ goods.
Paccurate will invoice Customer monthly in arrears. Monthly charges are based on the number of cartonization/shipping advice requests (“Requests”) submitted to the Services by the Customer and its Authorized Users via the Services’ API in the monthly period coved by the invoice. A single Request may be made multiple times but only charged once within the same billing period, so long as Paccurate’s billing system is able to identify subsequent Requests as identical or similar to previous Requests. To determine whether a Request matches previous a previous Request, Paccurate’s billing system keeps track of various data such as the SKUs and/or items being cartonized. Paccurate makes a good faith effort to recognize unique Requests but makes no guarantee that every Request will be correctly categorized or flagged as being a previously made API call. Customer shall notify Paccurate within thirty (30) days of receiving an invoice if it believes that a single unique Request to the Services made multiple times has been charged more than once in the covered billing period, and the Parties agree to resolve the billing issue in good faith. Customer shall pay all Paccurate invoices with thirty (30) days of the invoice date.
The minimum monthly charge to Customer for the use of the Services is $249, which includes 5,000 unique Requests to the Services by Customer. Additional unique Requests over the 5,000 will be billed to Customer monthly in arrears, at a fee of $0.04 per unique Request.
Paccurate will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage, as described below, during any monthly billing cycle (the “Service Commitment”). In the event Paccurate does not meet the Service Commitment, subject to the terms below, Customer will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below.
The “Monthly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the average of the Error Rates from each 5-minute interval in the monthly billing cycle. If Subscriber did not make any requests in a given 5-minute interval, that interval is assumed to have a 0% Error Rate.
The “Error Rate” means: (i) the total number of internal server errors returned by Paccurate as error status “InternalError” or “ServiceUnavailable” divided by (ii) the total number of Requests for the applicable Request type during that 5-minute interval. Paccurate will calculate the Error Rate for each Paccurate account as a percentage for each 5-minute interval in the monthly billing cycle. The calculation of the number of internal server errors will not include errors that arise directly or indirectly as a result of any of the Exclusions as set forth below.
A “Service Credit” is a dollar credit, calculated as set forth below, that Paccurate may credit back to an eligible Customer account.
Service Credits are calculated as a percentage of the total charges paid by Customer for the Services for the billing cycle in which the Monthly Uptime Percentage fell within the ranges set forth in the table below.
Monthly Uptime Percentage | Service Credit Percentage |
Less than 99.0% but greater than 95.0% | 10% |
95.0% or less, but greater than 90.0% | 20% |
90% or less | 50% |
The Service Commitment does not apply to any unavailability, suspension or termination of the Services, or any other Services issues: (i) caused by factors outside of Paccurate’s reasonable control, including any force majeure event or Internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of Paccurate; (ii) that result from any actions or inactions of Customer or any third party; (iii) that result from Customer’s equipment, software or other technology and/or third party equipment, software or other technology (other than third party equipment within Paccurate’s direct control); or (iv) arising from Paccurates suspension or termination of Customer’s right to use Paccurate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If availability is impacted by factors other than those used in Paccurate’s calculation of the Monthly Uptime Percentage, then Paccurate may issue a Service Credit considering such factors at Paccurate’s discretion.
