Customer may specify an Authorized User to be the billing owner and one or more Authorized Users to be administrators (each an "Administrator") to manage its account, and Buildertrend is entitled to rely on communications from an Administrator when servicing Customer's account. Customer's Administrator(s) may have the ability to access, monitor, use, and/or export Customer Data or Registered Client Data. Customer is solely responsible for maintaining the security of Authorized User accounts and passwords. In the event that Customer is unable to log into Buildertrend as an Administrator (for example, Customer has lost the Administrator password), then Customer authorizes Buildertrend to request the following information in order to restore Administrator access: (i) a copy of Customer's business license, and (ii) a copy of the State issued driver's license of the individual named on Customer's business license.

Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, legality, reliability, and appropriateness of all Customer Data. Customer shall ensure that it is entitled to transfer the relevant Customer Data to Buildertrend so that Buildertrend and its service providers may lawfully use, process, and transfer the Customer Data in accordance with this Agreement on Customer's behalf. Customer shall promptly notify Buildertrend if it becomes aware of any unauthorized use of or access to Customer's account or the Service. If a Registered Client wishes to exercise his or her rights under a consumer privacy law (including, but not limited to, the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), United Kingdom's Data Protection Act, Canada's Personal Information and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), or California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018), the Registered Client shall contact the Customer to request the Customer to remove that data from the Service on the Registered Client's behalf.
2.7 Suspension. Buildertrend may request that Customer suspend the account of any Authorized User or Registered Client who (a) violates this Agreement; or (b) uses the Service in a manner that Buildertrend reasonably believes may cause a security risk, a disruption to others' use of the Service, or liability for Buildertrend. If Customer fails to promptly suspend or terminate such Authorized User or Registered Client's account, then Buildertrend reserves the right to do so and/or to suspend or terminate Customer's account.
3.1 By Customer. Customer warrants that (a) this Agreement is legally binding upon it and enforceable in accordance with its terms; (b) it has obtained all legally required consents and permissions from Authorized Users and Registered Clients for the submission and processing of any and all data submitted through the Service including, but not limited to personal data; and (c) the transfer and processing of Customer Data under the agreement complies with all applicable laws.
3.2 By Buildertrend. Buildertrend warrants that (a) this Agreement is legally binding upon it and enforceable in accordance with its terms; and (b) its performance hereunder will not conflict with any other agreements with third parties.
3.3 Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE APPLICATION, THE SERVICE, AND ALL RELATED COMPONENTS AND INFORMATION ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND BUILDERTREND AND ITS AFFILIATES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, PERFORMANCE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT NOR ARE THERE ANY WARRANTIES CREATED BY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR TRADE USAGE AND BUILDERTREND DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR THE APPLICATION WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S NEEDS. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUILDERTREND DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APPLICATION OR THE SERVICE WILL BE UNITERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. BUILDERTREND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY RELATED TO DELAYS, DELIVERY FAILURES, INTERCEPTION, ALTERATION, OR OTHER DAMAGE RESULTING FROM MATTERS OUTSIDE OF ITS CONTROL, INCLUDING PROBLEMS INHERENT IN THE USE OF THE INTERNET, MOBILE, AND PERSONAL COMPUTING DEVICES, TRANSMISSION OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OVER THE INTERNET OR OTHER NETWORKS, AND THIRD-PARTY HOSTING SERVICE PROVIDERS. THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT AND FORMED THE BASIS FOR DETERMINING THE PRICE CHARGED FOR THE SERVICE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OF AN IMPLIED WARRANTY, SO THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. Buildertrend does not warrant that the Application or the Service will be compatible with all devices. If the Application or the Service is accessed through a mobile device, the relevant wireless service carrier may charge applicable data rates and related fees.
3.4 Device and Wireless Carrier Disclaimers. While Buildertrend attempts to provide the Service and Application features to all users, use of the Application and the Service may be limited for some or all users due to conditions outside of Buildertrend's control. As a result, not all advertised features may be available at all times. Some of these conditions include, but are not limited to, the following: an individual's mobile device or their wireless carrier may limit the features available. Data or messaging plans may limit certain use of the Service. An individual's wireless voice and/or data signal may make access to the Application or some of its features intermittent or unavailable. The Application and its features may not be available in some geographic locations.
Buildertrend is not liable, and expressly disclaims any representations or warranties, regarding access to the Application or its services or features through a particular wireless carrier, network, or plan, on a particular device, or in a particular location. Buildertrend does not guarantee that the Service will always be accessible or available. Customer and its Authorized Users and Registered Clients are each solely responsible for any and all costs each party incurs to access the Application through their own mobile device.
4.1 Subscription Fees. Customer's Subscription Fees are set forth in the applicable Order Form delivered to Customer by Buildertrend. All Subscription Fees are subject to change upon notice. Customer shall pay all fees when due and is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing information to Buildertrend. If such fees are paid via credit card or other electronic means, Customer authorizes Buildertrend to charge such fees using Customer's selected payment method. Payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable unless otherwise expressly provided for herein. The number of Authorized Users or Time-Clock Users purchased under a Subscription cannot be decreased during the applicable Subscription Term. Buildertrend reserves the right to suspend Customer's account, in addition to all of its other available rights and remedies, in the event that Customer's account becomes overdue. Suspension shall not relieve Customer's obligation to pay all amounts due.
4.2 Auto-Renewal. Customer agrees that its Subscription will automatically renew on a monthly basis after the initial Subscription Term (the "Renewal Date") at the then-current Subscription Fee. If Customer has an annual Subscription Term, Buildertrend will endeavor to notify Customer by email at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Subscription Term to inquire whether Customer would like to renew for another annual Subscription Term. Customer authorizes Buildertrend to automatically charge Customer for the applicable fees on or after the Renewal Date unless the Subscription has been terminated or cancelled in accordance with this Agreement. If Customer wishes to reduce the number of Authorized Users or Time-Clock Users in its Subscription, it must do so prior to the Renewal Date. Customer must cancel its Subscription prior to the Renewal Date in order to avoid being charged the applicable Subscription Fee for the relevant Subscription Term on the Renewal Date. Customer can cancel its Subscription any time by contacting its customer success representative or emailing support@buildertrend.com; however, if Customer attempts to cancel its Subscription during the Subscription Term, Customer will not be issued a refund for the most recent Subscription Fee (or any previously) charged fees and the Subscription will terminate on the next applicable Renewal Date.
4.3 Calculation. Subscription fees are based on annual or monthly periods (or pro rata portions thereof, calculated on a daily basis) that begin on the Subscription start date and each annual or monthly anniversary thereafter. Customer shall purchase a Subscription to the Service for each Authorized User and Time-Clock User, and the initial number of Authorized Users and Time-Clock Users is reflected in the applicable Order Form. Customer may add Authorized Users and Time-Clock Users to its Subscription at any time on written notice to Buildertrend (email notice is acceptable). If Customer has an annual Subscription Term, the fees for additional Authorized Users and Time-Clock Users will be calculated at the then-current fee multiplied by the months remaining in the Customer's Subscription Term. Buildertrend reserves the right to calculate the total number of Authorized Users and Time-Clock Users periodically and, if the number of Authorized Users or Time-Clock exceeds Customer's current Subscription, then Buildertrend reserves the right to invoice Customer for the applicable number of users for the remaining period in Customer's Subscription Term, so that all Authorized User Subscription Terms coincide and are co-terminus. Buildertrend reserves the right to revise fee rates and/or the billable amount structure for the Service at any time in accordance with Section 13.3 below. Buildertrend may charge Customer the then-current pricing for the applicable Subscription if the number of Authorized Users or Time-Clock Users is modified, if Customer changes its Subscription plan, and/or on the next Renewal Date.
4.4 Risk-Free Trial. Customer may be eligible for a risk-free trial period as described in the applicable Order Form. Beginning on the Effective Date, Customer will be charged all applicable Subscription Fees during the Risk-Free Period using the Customer's selected payment method. To receive a refund of such Subscription Fees charged during the Risk-Free Period, Customer must cancel the Subscription (pursuant to Section 4.2 above) prior to the expiration of the Risk-Free Period.
4.5 Taxes. Any fees charged to Customer are exclusive of taxes. Except for those taxes based on Buildertrend's net income, Customer shall be responsible for all applicable taxes in connection with this Agreement including, but not limited to, sales, use, excise, value-added, goods and services, consumption, and other similar taxes or duties. Should any payment for the Service be subject to withholding tax by any government, Customer shall reimburse Buildertrend for such withholding tax.
4.6 Future Features and Functionality. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any purchases under this Agreement are not contingent upon the delivery of any future feature or functionality or dependent upon any oral or written public or private comments made by Buildertrend regarding future features or functionality. Buildertrend may release Improvements and other features and functionality in its discretion.
This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until all Subscriptions to the Service granted in accordance with this Agreement have expired or been terminated. Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party: (a) is in material breach of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within twenty (20) days following receipt of written notice from the non-breaching party, except that termination will take effect upon notice in the event of a breach of Section 2.3 (Usage Restrictions); or (b) ceases its business operations or becomes subject to insolvency proceedings and the proceedings are not dismissed within sixty (60) days. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, all Subscriptions and any other rights granted to Customer under this Agreement shall immediately terminate, and Buildertrend may immediately deactivate Customer's account(s) associated with the Agreement. In no event will any termination relieve Customer of the obligation to pay any fees accrued or payable to Buildertrend. The following sections shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement: Section 1 (Definitions), Section 2.3 (Usage Restrictions), Section 3 (Warranties), Section 4.1 (Subscription Fees), Section 4.5 (Taxes), Section 5 (Term and Termination), Section 6 (Confidentiality), Section 7 (Intellectual Property Rights), Section 9 (Indemnification), Section 10 (Liability), Section 11 (Export Compliance), Section 12 (Use Outside the United States of America), and Section 13 (Miscellaneous).

The receiving party will use the same care and discretion with respect to the Confidential Information received from the disclosing party as it uses with its own similar information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. The receiving party may disclose the disclosing party's Confidential Information to its employees, Affiliates, consultants, subcontractors, agents, or advisors ("Representatives") who have a strict need to access the Confidential Information for the purpose of performing under this Agreement and only to those who are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information upon terms at least as protective as those contained in this Agreement. Either party may disclose the terms of this Agreement to potential parties to a bona fide fundraising, acquisition, or similar transaction solely for purposes of the proposed transaction, provided that any such potential party is subject to written non-disclosure obligations and limitations on use no less protective than those set forth herein.
6.3 Equitable Relief. The receiving party acknowledges that the remedy at law for breach of this Section 6 may be inadequate and that, in addition to any other remedy the disclosing party may have, it shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, an injunction or injunctions (without the requirement of posting a bond, other security or any similar requirement or proving any actual damages), to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Section 6 by the receiving party or any of its Representatives and to enforce the terms and provisions of this Section 6 in addition to any other remedy to which the disclosing party is entitled at law or in equity.
6.4 Compelled Disclosure. The receiving party may access and disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party if legally required to do so in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding; provided, however, that in such event the receiving party will, if lawfully permitted to do so, notify the disclosing party within a reasonable time prior to such access or disclosure so as to allow the disclosing party an opportunity to seek appropriate protective measures. If the receiving party is compelled by law to access or disclose the disclosing party's Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the disclosing party is a party, the disclosing party will reimburse the receiving party for the reasonable costs of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information. Receiving party will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed, and any Confidential Information so disclosed shall maintain its confidentiality protection for all purposes other than such legally compelled disclosure.
6.5 Sensitive/Personal Information. Customer agrees that it shall not use the Service to send or store personal information subject to special regulatory or contractual handling requirements (e.g., Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, and any similar data protection laws) including without limitation: credit card information, credit card numbers and magnetic stripe information, social security numbers, driver's license numbers, passport numbers, government issued identification numbers, health-related information, biometric data, financial account information, personally identifiable information collected from children under the age of 13 or from online services directed toward children, and real time geo-location data which can identify an individual, or information deemed "sensitive" under applicable law (such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, or religious or philosophical beliefs).

9.1 By Customer. Customer shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Buildertrend, its Affiliates, and their employees, officers, and directors (together, the "Buildertrend Indemnified Parties") from and against any third party claims, actions, proceedings, suits and demands brought against the Buildertrend Indemnified Parties, and against all related liabilities, damages, settlements, penalties, fines, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, settlement costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Buildertrend Indemnified Parties arising out of or relating to: (i) Customer's breach of any term or condition of this Agreement, (ii) Customer's, its Authorized Users, and/or Registered Client's use of the Service, (iii) Customer's, its Authorized Users, and/or Registered Client's unauthorized use of the Service, or (iv) Customer's, its Authorized Users, and/or Registered Client's use, posting, uploading or transmission of Customer Data and/or Registered Client Data. Buildertrend will provide prompt notice to Customer of any indemnifiable claim against Buildertrend. Customer will undertake, at Customer's own cost, the defense of any claim, suit, or proceeding with counsel reasonably acceptable to Buildertrend. Buildertrend reserves the right to participate in the defense of the claim, suit or proceeding, at Buildertrend's expense, with counsel of Buildertrend's choosing.
9.2 By Buildertrend. Buildertrend will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer, its Affiliates, and their employees, officers, and directors (together the "Customer Indemnified Parties") from and against all liabilities, damages, costs (including settlement costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of any claim by a third party against the Customer Indemnified Parties to the extent the claim is based on an allegation that the Service infringes or misappropriates any copyright, trade secret, U.S. patent, or trademark right of the third party. In no event will Buildertrend have any obligations or liability under this Section arising from: (i) Customer's, any Authorized User's, or any Registered Client's use of the Service other than as permitted under this Agreement; or (ii) use of the Service in a modified form or in combination with products, services, content, or data furnished to Customer by Buildertrend.
9.3 Potential Infringement. If the Service becomes, or in Buildertrend's reasonable judgment is likely to become, subject to a claim of infringement, then Buildertrend may in its sole discretion: (a) obtain the right, at Buildertrend's expense, for Customer to continue using the Service; (b) provide a non-infringing functionally equivalent replacement; or (c) modify the Service so that it is no longer infringing. If Buildertrend, in its sole reasonable judgment, determines that none of the above options are commercially reasonable, then Buildertrend may suspend or terminate Customer's use of the Service, in which case Buildertrend's sole liability (in addition to its obligations under Section 9.2) shall be to provide Customer with a prorated refund of any prepaid, unused fees applicable to the remaining portion of the Subscription Term. Sections 9.2 and 9.3 state Buildertrend's sole liability and the Customer Indemnified Parties' exclusive remedy for infringement claims.
9.4 Indemnification Process. The party seeking indemnification must provide prompt notice to the indemnifying party concerning the existence of an indemnifiable claim and must provide the indemnifying party with all information and assistance reasonably requested and otherwise cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in defending the claim. Failure to give prompt notice does not constitute a waiver of a party's right to indemnification and shall affect the indemnifying party's obligations under this Agreement only to the extent that the indemnifying party's rights are materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. The indemnifying party shall have full control and authority over the defense of any claim. However, any settlement requiring the party seeking indemnification to admit liability or make any financial payment shall require such party's prior written consent.
10.1 Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR A PARTY'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 9 ("INDEMNIFICATION"), IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY'S OR ITS AFFILIATES' AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY) EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AGGREGATE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE PREVIOUS SIX (6) MONTHS, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($100.00). CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RIGHT AND REMEDY IN CASE OF DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SERVICE OR ANY OTHER GRIEVANCE SHALL BE TERMINATION (WITHOUT REFUND) AND DISCONTINUATION OF ACCESS TO, OR USE OF THE SERVICE.
10.2 Exclusion of Consequential and Related Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL BUILDERTREND OR ITS AFFILIATES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER, ITS AUTHORIZED USERS, ITS REGISTERED CLIENTS OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY (A) LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, OR LOSS OF USE, OR LOSS OF DATA, OR INFORMATION (B) INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, (C) BODILY INJURY OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, OR (D) REPUTATIONAL HARM, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER BASED ON A CLAIM OR ACTION OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER TORT, BREACH OF ANY STATUTORY DUTY, INDEMNITY OR CONTRIBUTION, OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY AND WHETHER OR NOT BUILDERTREND HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
10.3 Allocation of Risk. The provision of this Section 10 allocates the risks under this Agreement between the parties, and the parties have relied on these limitations in determining whether to enter into this Agreement.
The Service may be subject to export laws and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions. Customer represents that neither it nor any of its Authorized Users are named on any U.S. government denied-party list. Customer shall not permit any Authorized User to access or use any Service in a U.S.-embargoed country or region or in violation of any U.S. export law or regulation. Customer and its Authorized Users shall not use the Service to export, re-export, transfer, or make available, whether directly or indirectly, any regulated item or information to anyone outside the U.S. in connection with this Agreement without first complying with all export control laws and regulations that may be imposed by the U.S. Government and any country or organization of nations within whose jurisdiction Customer operates or does business.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury, through the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), prohibits U.S. companies from engaging in all or certain commercial activities with certain sanctioned countries (each a "Sanctioned Country") and certain individuals, organizations or entities, including without limitation, certain "Specially Designated Nationals" ("SDN") listed by OFAC. If Customer is located in a Sanctioned Country or is listed as an SDN, Customer is prohibited from registering or signing up with, subscribing to, or using the Service. If Buildertrend determines that the Service is being used by prohibited persons, Buildertrend will terminate any impacted accounts. Buildertrend reserves the right to also provide notification of any such usage to the US DOT/OFAC.
The Service is controlled and operated by Buildertrend from its offices in the United States of America. Except as explicitly set forth herein, Buildertrend makes no representations that the Service is appropriate for use in other jurisdictions. Those who access or use the Service from other jurisdictions do so at their own risk and are responsible for compliance with local laws.
13.1 Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement and any disputes arising under it will be governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska without regard to its conflict of laws provisions, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts located in Omaha, Nebraska. The parties expressly agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act shall not apply to this Agreement.
13.2 MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND PROHIBITION ON CLASS ACTIONS. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, IT EXPLAINS THE TERMS UPON WHICH CUSTOMER IS WAIVING ITS RIGHT TO BRING CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN A COURT OF LAW OR TO HAVE A JURY RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES HEREUNDER. Except if other applicable laws require otherwise, the parties hereto agree and understand that any dispute or claim related to Customer's, its Authorized Users or Registered Client's use of the Service, any disputes regarding any alleged breach of the Agreement, to the extent such dispute cannot otherwise be resolved, as well as any other action to enforce the terms of this Agreement or for the breach of this Agreement, shall be referred to final and binding arbitration, and not in court.
The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.
Any arbitration proceeding will take place in the State of Nebraska, subject to the laws of the State of Nebraska and will otherwise be governed by the then-current commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the parties hereto expressly waive their rights, if any, to have any such matters heard by a court or jury, or administrative agency whether federal or state. The parties in any arbitration to enforce this Agreement or remedy its breach will equally share the costs associated with such arbitration proceedings; provided, that, each party shall pay its own attorney's fees. Within fourteen (14) days after the commencement of arbitration, each party shall select one person to act as arbitrator and the two selected shall select a third arbitrator within ten (10) days of their appointment. If the arbitrators selected by the parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association.
All parties agree that any dispute resolution proceedings (including any arbitrations and any court proceedings) will be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Class actions and class arbitrations are prohibited. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. The parties also agree that Customer and Buildertrend may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
13.3 Notice. Buildertrend may give notices to Customer related to the Service through email, text, in-app notifications, or by posting them on the Buildertrend website or through the Service and such electronic notices shall satisfy any legal requirement that such notices be made in writing. Notices to Buildertrend shall be sent to Buildertrend Legal at legal@buildertrend.com with a copy sent first class, airmail, or overnight courier to Buildertrend Solutions, Inc., 11818 I Street, Omaha, NE 68137, c/o: Legal Department.
13.4 Publicity. Buildertrend may include Customer's name and logo in Buildertrend's online customer list and in print and electronic marketing materials.
13.5 Relationship of the Parties. The parties are and shall be independent contractors with respect to all services provided under this Agreement. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the parties. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. Without limiting this Section, a Customer's Authorized Users and its Registered Clients are not third-party beneficiaries to Customer's rights under this Agreement.
13.6 Force Majeure. Buildertrend shall not be liable to Customer for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement if the delay or failure is due to events which are beyond the reasonable control of Buildertrend, including but not limited to natural disaster, civil disturbance, acts of terrorism or war, labor conditions, governmental actions, interruption or failure of the Internet or any utility service, failures in third-party hosting services, and denial of service attacks (each a "Force Majeure Event"). Buildertrend shall be relieved from its obligations (or part thereof) as long as the Force Majeure Event lasts and hinders the performance of said obligations (or part thereof). Buildertrend shall promptly notify Customer and make reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure Event.
13.7 Severability; No Waiver. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to any judicial decree or decision, such provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and remain enforceable between the parties. No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and a party's failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
13.8 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights and licenses granted under this Agreement may be transferred or assigned by either party without the other party's express written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that either party may assign this Agreement and all Order Forms under this Agreement upon written notice without the other party's consent to an Affiliate or to its successor in interest in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets not involving a direct competitor of the non-assigning party. Any other attempt to transfer or assign this Agreement will be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors, and permitted assigns.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that its access to or use of the Service is governed by the then-current Agreement that is effective at the time of Customer's access to or use of the Service. If Buildertrend makes material changes to this Agreement, it will notify Customer by updating the "Updated" date indicated at the top of this page with the date that revisions to this Agreement were last made. Buildertrend will not notify Customer of any such changes by email or other personal contact, but it reserves the right to do so. Customer should revisit this Agreement on a regular basis as revised versions will be binding upon Customer. Any such modification will be effective upon Buildertrend's posting of such new terms. Customer understands and agrees that its continued access to or use of the Service after the effective date of modifications to this Agreement indicates Customer's acceptance of the modifications.

The use of such third-party services are subject to the third-party's terms of service. Any disputes arising regarding a third-party's services must be resolved directly between Customer and the third-party. Buildertrend disclaims all warranties or representations regarding any third-party services. Buildertrend, in its sole discretion, and without notice to Customer, may subcontract any Services to be performed by a third-party.
13.11 Hyperlinks. A link from the Service to a third party's website does not mean that Buildertrend endorses or accepts any responsibility for the content, functioning, policies, or use of such website, and Customer enters any such website at its own risk. It is Customer's responsibility to take precautions to ensure that w hatever websites or other online materials that it selects for use are free of viruses and other items of a destructive nature. Additionally, Buildertrend suggests you review the linked site's terms of service and privacy policy, and if Customer does not agree to be bound by the terms of that site, terminate its visit to that site. Buildertrend is not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of the sites operated by our business partners or other third parties. Buildertrend expressly disclaims any liability related to such sites. Buildertrend also prohibits unauthorized hypertext links to the Service or the framing of any content available through the Service. Buildertrend reserves the right to disable any unauthorized links or frames.
