Customer is responsible for all activity occurring under Customer’s User accounts and shall abide by all applicable local, state, national, and foreign laws, treaties, and regulations in connection with Customer’s use of the Software, including those related to data privacy, international communications, and the transmission of technical or personal data. Customer will: (a) notify Skoop immediately of any unauthorized use of any password or account or any other known or suspected breach of security; (b) report to Skoop immediately and use reasonable efforts to stop immediately, any copying or distribution of Content that is known or suspected by Customer or any User; and (c) not impersonate another Skoop User or provide false identity information to gain access to or use the Software.
Customer will own any data, information, or material that Customer submits to the Software in the course of using the Software (“Client Data”).

If this Agreement is terminated (other than by reason of Customer’s breach), Skoop will make available to Customer a file of the Client Data within thirty (30) days of termination if Customer so requests in writing and pays any outstanding balance and termination fee owing on the date of termination. Customer agrees and acknowledges that Skoop has no obligation to retain the Client Data, and may delete such Client Data, on the 31st day after termination. Skoop reserves the right to withhold, remove and/or discard Client Data, without notice, for any breach, including, without limitation, Customer’s non-payment. Upon termination for cause, Customer’s right to access or use Client Data immediately ceases and Skoop shall have no obligation to maintain or provide any Client Data
Skoop alone will own all right, title, and interest, including all related Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Skoop SaaS Technology, the Content, and the Software and any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations, or other information provided by Customer or any other party relating to the Software. The Skoop name, the Skoop logo and the product names associated with the Software are trademarks of Skoop or third parties and no right or license is granted to use them. This Agreement is not a sale, but only a license to use and does not convey to Customer any rights of ownership in or related to the Software, the Skoop SaaS Technology, or the Intellectual Property Rights owned by Skoop. Customer acknowledges that, except as specifically provided under this Agreement, no other right, title, or interest in these items is granted.
Skoop will defend or, at its sole option, settle, at its own expense any suit, action or proceeding brought in a court of competent jurisdiction against Customer by a third party to the extent it is based on or arises out of a claim that any Software infringe any United States patent issued or any copyright or trade secret arising under the laws of any jurisdiction (an “IP Action”), and Skoop will pay damages finally awarded against Customer in such IP Action, or those monetary damages agreed to by Skoop and the claimant in a monetary settlement of such IP Action; provided that Skoop will be relieved of the foregoing obligations unless Customer: (a) gives Skoop prompt written notice of each such claim; (b) tenders to Skoop sole control of the defense or settlement of each such IP Action; and (c) cooperates with Skoop in defending or settling each such IP Action. If Skoop receives notice of an allegation that any Software infringe or misappropriates a third party’s intellectual property rights, or if Customer’s use of the Software are prohibited by permanent injunction of a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of such an infringement or misappropriation, Skoop may, at its sole option and expense: (a) procure for Customer the right to continue use such Software as provided hereunder; (b) modify the Software so that they are no longer infringing; or (c) replace the Software with other Software of equal or superior functional capability. If none of the foregoing is in Skoop’s reasonable determination commercially reasonable, Skoop will have the right to terminate any and all of the Software granted hereunder. If Skoop terminates as described above, Skoop will refund the applicable fees paid for such Software in advance. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 8, no settlement that requires Customer to make any payments or does not fully release Customer must be approved by the Customer in writing prior to any agreement between Skoop and claimant.
Customer will pay all fees or charges under this Agreement. Any fees, charges, or billing terms not expressly set forth in this Agreement will be payable and due under the terms then in effect at the time a fee or charge is incurred. Skoop will issue an invoice to Customer in advance of the end of a billing period for payment of the recurring fees for the following billing period. Customer is responsible for paying all fees and charges ordered for the entire Term, without regard to whether all Users or Screens are active. Payment terms are described on the relevant Software Platform License Order Form. Payment for recurring charges is due prior to the beginning of the applicable month, unless mutually agreed upon otherwise in writing. All other fees and charges are due within ten days after receipt of an invoice from Skoop.
An Authorized Administrator may add additional Screens by notifying Skoop in writing or through the Software. Added Screens will be subject to the following: (a) the term of added Screens will be coterminous with the Term (either Initial Term or Renewal Term) of this Agreement; (b) the fee for the added Screens will be the then current, applicable fees at the time ordered; and (c) Screens added in the middle of a billing month will be charged in full for that billing month. Skoop reserves the right to modify its fees and charges and to introduce new charges at any time, upon at least thirty (30) days prior notice to Customer, which notice may be provided by e-mail; provided however, that changes in the fees shall not be applicable to a current Screen until the end of the existing Term.
All fees and charges are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and Customer will be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only federal or state taxes based solely on Skoop’s income.
Customer agrees to update its billing and account information within thirty (30) days of any change. That information includes Customer’s legal company name, street address, e-mail address and the name and telephone number of an authorized billing contact and Authorized Administrator. If the contact information Customer provides is false or fraudulent, Skoop reserves the right to immediately terminate Customer’s access to the Software, in addition to any other legal remedies.
If Customer believes that the fees or charges to Customer’s account are incorrect, Customer must contact Skoop in writing within forty-five (45) days of the date of the charge in question, or the fees and charges assessed by Skoop will be deemed to be correct and accepted by Customer.
In addition to any other rights of Skoop, Skoop reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and Customer’s access to the Software if Customer’s account becomes delinquent and remains delinquent thirty (30) days after written notice of such delinquency. Invoices and accounts that are delinquent are subject to interest of 1.5% per month (or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less) on any delinquent balance, plus all expenses of collection. If Customer’s use of the Software is suspended but not terminated, Customer will be obligated for and agrees to pay the fees for the number of Screens for the balance of the full Term. Customer agrees that Skoop may charge any unpaid fees and charges to Customer’s credit card, initiate an ACH transaction or otherwise bill Customer for such unpaid fees and charges. Skoop reserves the right to impose a then current reconnection fee if Customer’s rights are suspended and Customer thereafter requests access to the Software. Customer agrees and acknowledges that Skoop has no obligation to retain Client Data and that such Client Data may be irretrievably deleted if Customer’s account is thirty (30) days or more delinquent. Customer acknowledges that suspension or non-payment will occur if a third party is paying the fees for such Customer’s access and such third party fails to make necessary payments.
Any breach of Customer’s payment obligations or any use of the Software contrary to the terms and conditions of this Agreement will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. In such event Skoop may immediately terminate this Agreement and all Software access to Customer without further liability. Skoop, in its sole discretion, may terminate Customer’s password, account or use of the Software if Customer breaches or otherwise fails to comply with this Agreement, or if Customer signage, in the sole judgment of Skoop, is deemed offensive, discriminatory or otherwise will harm the Skoop name, brand or reputation. In the event Customer terminates this Agreement prior to expiration of the full initial term, Customer shall pay Skoop an early termination fee equal to 75% of the remaining contract balance due. Should the Customer provide Skoop with notice of cancellation, Skoop shall reserve the right to charge the Customer’s payment method on file for the cancellation fee as agreed upon in this Agreement. Customer may give notice by means of a general notice on the Service, Email, or Direct Mail to Skoop’s address, 2075 E. 14 Mile Rd. Birmingham MI 48009 or by written communication sent by certified mail or pre-paid post to Customer’s address on record in Skoop’s account information. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the expiration of 10 days after mailing or posting (if sent by certified mail or pre-paid post).
