  1. Limits on Certain Messages. By using functionality to send Client Messages to End-Users, Client  agrees to make End-Users aware of their right to opt out of any future messages, as required by  law. Client is responsible for honoring all opt-out requests from End-Users. Client must use a  valid telephone number. Phone numbers such as landline numbers that cannot receive  SMS/MMS or text messages will not be eligible for the Services. Client agrees that Supercharged SMS reserves  the right in its sole discretion to cap the number of Client Messages that may be sent in  connection with the Services. Applicable message and data rates apply to such messages. Client  hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) Supercharged SMS merely plays a technical role in transmitting or  routing Client Messages sent by Client as a conduit, (ii) that Client is the sender of any Client  Messages for purposes of Laws, (iii) Supercharged SMS has no relationship with or any obligation to any End User or any other person or entity with to whom Client provides services utilizing the Services  (“End-User Services”), none of whom is a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and (iv)  Client shall have sole responsibility and liability for any Client Messages and for compliance with  any Laws related to End-User Services. Supercharged SMS may suspend or disable Client’s ability to send  messages through the Services at any time if Supercharged SMS, in its sole discretion, believes Client is  sending messages in violation of the Terms of this Agreement.

 

  1. SUSPENSION OF SERVICE

 

  1. Supercharged SMS may suspend Client’s access to the Services if Client breaches Section 4 (Limitations on  Use) or Section 5 (Client Obligations), if Client’s account is 30 days or more overdue or if Client’s  actions risk harm to other Clients or the security, availability or integrity of the Services. Where  practicable, Supercharged SMS will use reasonable efforts to provide Client with prior notice of the  suspension. Once Client resolves the issue requiring suspension, Supercharged SMS will promptly restore  Client’s access to the Service in accordance with this Agreement. Supercharged SMS reserves the right, but is  not obligated, to monitor and audit Client’s use of the Services for any reason or no reason,  without notice, to ensure Client’s compliance with this Agreement.

  1. Indemnification by Supercharged SMS. Supercharged SMS will defend Client, its officers, directors, employees and  affiliates (“Client Indemnified Parties”) from and against any third-party claim made against a  Client Indemnified Party to the extent alleging that the Platform or the Services, when used by  Client as authorized in this Agreement, infringes such third-party’s U.S. patent, copyright,  trademark or trade secret, and will indemnify and hold harmless Client Indemnified Parties  against any damages or costs awarded against Client (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or  agreed in settlement by Supercharged SMS resulting from the claim.

 

  1. Indemnification by Client. Client will defend Supercharged SMS, its officers, directors, employees, and  affiliates (“Supercharged SMS Indemnified Parties”) from and against any third-party claim, demand, suit, or  proceeding made or brought against a Supercharged SMS Indemnified Party to the extent resulting from  Client Content, or Client’s breach or alleged breach of Section 5 (Client’s Obligations), Client’s use  of the Services or any activities other than in accordance with these Terms; and will indemnify  and hold harmless Supercharged SMS Indemnified Parties against any damages or costs awarded against  Supercharged SMS Indemnified Parties (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or agreed in settlement by  Client resulting from the claim.

 

  1. Procedures.  The indemnifying party’s obligations in this Section 12 are subject to receiving (i)  prompt written notice of the claim, (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation,  defense and settlement of the claim and (iii) all reasonably necessary cooperation of the  indemnified party, at the indemnifying party’s expense for reasonable out-of-pocket costs. The  indemnifying party may not settle any claim without the indemnified party’s prior written  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 Supercharged SMS is the indemnifying  party). The indemnified party may participate in a claim with its own counsel at its own expense.

 

  1. Mitigation and Exceptions.

Supercharged SMS’s obligations in this Section 12 do not apply (1) to infringement resulting from Client’s modification of the Platform or the Services or use of the  Platform in combination with items not provided by Supercharged SMS (including third-party platforms), (2)  to infringement resulting from Services other than the most recent release, (3) to unauthorized  use of the Platform or the Services, or (4) if Client settles or makes any admissions about a claim  without Supercharged SMS’s prior written consent. This Section 12 sets out Client’s exclusive remedy and  Supercharged SMS’s entire liability regarding infringement of third-party intellectual property rights.

 

  1. THIRD-PARTY PLATFORMS AND CONTENT

 

  1. Client may choose to use the Services with certain platform(s), publisher(s), add-on, website(s),  service or product not provided by Supercharged SMS that Client elects to integrate or enable for use with the  Services (“Third-Party Platforms“). Third-Party Platforms are not responsible for the Services or  the obligations between Supercharged SMS and Client pursuant to these Terms. Use of Third-Party Platforms  is subject to Client’s agreement with the relevant provider and not this Agreement, except where  expressly agreed by a Third-Party Platform, Third-Party Platform cannot provide assistance with  the installation or use of the Services. Supercharged SMS does not control and has no liability for Third-Party  Platforms, including their security, functionality, operation, availability or interoperability or how  the Third-Party Platforms or their providers use any and all data including (without limitation)  End-User data. If Client enables a Third-Party Platform to integrate or otherwise operate in  connection with the Services, Client authorizes Supercharged SMS to (i) access and exchange Client Content  and End-User data (including personally identifiable information) with the Third-Party Platform  on Client’s behalf and (ii) if required by the applicable Third-Party Platform, retain Client Content  and/or End-User data for such time period and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the  applicable Third-Party Platform, subject in each case to Supercharged SMS’s obligations under the Data  Processing Addendum.

 

  1. If Client is redirected to linked sites and content in connection with Client’s use of any Third-Party  Platform, Supercharged SMS recommends Client carefully read and abide by the terms of use and privacy  policies of such sites and content. Any opinions, advice, statements, content, services, offers or  other information expressed or made available by any Third-Party Platform, are those of the  respective third-party author(s) or distributor(s) and do not necessarily state or reflect those of  Supercharged SMS.

Upon such termination by Client under this section, Supercharged SMS shall promptly  refund to Client any fees previously paid by Client that pertain to any Services not yet provided as  of the date of termination. Except in the event of termination caused by an uncured, material  breach, fees paid are non-refundable.

 

  1. Fees are as described in each Order. All fees and expenses are non-refundable.

Client is responsible for paying  all Taxes associated with Client’s orders. If Supercharged SMS has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes  for which Client is responsible under this Section 14, Supercharged SMS will invoice Client and Client will pay  that amount unless Client provides Supercharged SMS with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the  appropriate taxing authority.
