Right to Use of Logos.  Client hereby grants to Push Technologies the express right to use Client’s company logo in marketing, sales, financial, and public relations materials and other communications to identify Client as a Push Technologies customer.  Push Technologies hereby grants to Client the express right to use Push Technologies’ company logo solely to identify Push Technologies as a provider of services to Client.  Other than as expressly stated herein, neither Party shall use the other Party’s marks or logos without the prior written permission of the other Party.  All uses of such logos shall be for the sole benefit of the owner of such logo.
  3. Survival.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 13 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect.
  1.  CONFIDENTIALITY
    1. Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means any and all information or material or data disclosed by one Party or its affiliates ("Disclosing Party") to the other Party or its affiliates ("Receiving Party") or otherwise obtained by the Receiving Party, whether before or on or after the Effective Date hereof, and whether in writing, or in oral, graphic, electronic or any other form and in any stage of development, which derives actual or potential economic value from not being generally known and which (i) is either marked, designated or identified by the Disclosing Party as confidential, or (ii) is disclosed under circumstances such that Receiving Party should reasonably understand such information to be confidential, whether or not so marked, designated or identified.  Such Confidential Information includes (1) the Intellectual Property of the Disclosing Party or any licensor of the Disclosing Party in any form or stage of development, and (2) any third person information for which the Disclosing Party has a duty of nondisclosure, including any such information of any affiliate or of any licensor under a license agreement.  For these purposes and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties further acknowledge that (x) Client Information as defined herein (including all personally identifiable payroll and employee-level data) shall be the Confidential Information of Client, provided however that (y) all Anonymized Data in such form and all Feedback shall be the Confidential Information of Push Technologies.  All information regarding pricing and pricing-related information (including the Sales Orders) further shall be the Confidential Information of Push Technologies.
    2. Ownership.  The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party (including all copies, extracts and portions thereof) is and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Disclosing Party, but subject to the terms and conditions of Section 13 (Intellectual Property) of this Agreement, including all rights of Push Technologies to use Client Information hereunder.
    3. Non-Disclosure and Use. The Receiving Party shall hold the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in strict confidence and shall use at least the same standard of care as it uses to protect proprietary or confidential information of its own, but in no event less than reasonable care.  The Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information to its affiliates or to other officers, employees and consultants strictly on a need-to-know basis, and in each case such Party shall advise such persons of the nondisclosure and use obligations established hereunder and shall bind such persons in writing to obligations no less stringent than those established hereunder.  The Receiving Party shall not use any such Confidential Information at any time during or after the Term of this Agreement, except as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purpose of this Agreement and to exercise its rights and perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement.  The foregoing restrictions shall be without limiting and in addition to (i) any separate and independent rights and remedies of any Disclosing Party under any trade secret or similar statutes or codes or regulations and (ii) any other restrictions on use set forth under this Agreement.
    4. Nondisclosure Exceptions.
  1. Nothing herein shall prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information pursuant to a requirement of a governmental agency or applicable laws, so long as the Receiving Party provides the Disclosing Party with timely prior notice of such requirement, cooperates with any efforts of the Disclosing Party to prevent or narrow disclosure and protect the confidential nature of the information, and discloses only that portion of Confidential Information it believes to be required thereby on the written advice of counsel.
  2. Neither Party shall be obligated to maintain in confidence any information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public through no fault of the Receiving Party or any Related Person; (ii) the Receiving Party can show was previously known to the Receiving Party at the time of initial receipt of such information from the Disclosing Party or any affiliate, other than the Push Reports (as herein defined); (iii) the Receiving Party develops such information independently of any disclosure from the Disclosing Party hereunder and without reference to any Confidential Information of such Party; or (iv) the Receiving Party receives such information from an unaffiliated third party without violation of any of the obligations of such third party to the Disclosing Party or any affiliate.
  3. The Receiving Party shall have the burden of establishing the applicability of any of the foregoing exceptions. The foregoing exceptions shall not be applicable to any restrictions on use hereunder.
  1. Return and Retention. Each Receiving Party will return or destroy all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in its possession or control within the earlier of ten (10) days of written request by of the Disclosing Party or ninety (90) days of the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement; provided however that (i) the Receiving Party may retain archival file copies or descriptions of such Confidential Information for record keeping and regulatory purposes, subject to its ongoing compliance with the obligations and restrictions of this Section for as long as so retained, (ii) Client has and retains full responsibility for the retention of employment-related records on its employees as required by applicable laws and regulations, and (iii) in the case of Push Technologies, such Party may retain and use such Confidential Information as reasonably required to exercise any ownership or license or related rights of Push Technologies under this Agreement, including all rights in or to the Anonymized Data and the Feedback.
  2. Term of Obligations.  The Parties' respective nondisclosure obligations under this Section 14 shall continue during the Term and for a period of five (5) years following the termination or expiration of this Agreement including all Sales Orders, whichever is later, provided however that such nondisclosure obligations shall continue in perpetuity in the case of any trade secrets of a Party as defined under applicable law.   Restrictions on use or reverse engineering under this Agreement further shall not terminate or expire and shall further be subject to applicable law.
  3. Survival.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 14 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect.
  1.  TERM AND TERMINATION
    1. Term.   Subject to earlier termination as provided below, this Agreement is for the Subscription Term as specified in the mutually agreed Sales Order.  Unless stated otherwise in the Sales Order, the Initial Subscription Term shall commence on the Effective Date and conclude on the first anniversary of the Effective Date ("Initial Subscription Term"), and thereafter shall automatically renew for subsequent one (1) year periods, in each case at the Push Technology list price for the applicable Services in effect at the time of renewal, unless either Party gives the other Party notice of non-renewal at least forty-five (45) days prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Term.
    2. Termination for Cause.   A Party may terminate this Agreement or any Sales Order for cause if:
  1. The other Party breaches any material provision of this Agreement or any Sales Order and then fails to cure or remedy such breach within ninety (90) calendar days of receiving written notice from the non-breaching Party specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such breach(es), provided that the right to cure shall not be applicable to (i) a series of breaches of the same or similar nature or (ii) any breach incapable of cure;
  2. The other Party ceases business operations; or
  3. The other Party becomes insolvent, generally stops paying its debts as they become due, or seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors arrangement, dissolution, liquidation, winding up, composition or comparable proceeding or process, or if any such proceeding is instituted against such other Party (and not dismissed within ninety (90) days after commencement of one of the foregoing events), or makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors.
  1. Other Suspensions or Terminations.    In addition to and without limiting its other remedies hereunder:
  1. Push Technologies may also temporarily or permanently disable and/or suspend the Services and/or access by Client or any Authorized User to the Site or the Services, in whole or in part, immediately and without prior notice in the event Push Technologies reasonably determines that (i) there is or will be a threat or attack on the Site or any of the Push Technologies IP, or (ii) if Client or any of its Authorized Users breaches any material term of this Agreement or any Sales Order, including Section 5.2 hereof (Additional Restrictions). 
  2. Push Technologies may immediately terminate this Agreement or any Sales Order or the Services if Client has violated or, if conducting business with Client, a payee of Client, or any affiliate of Client is or would be in violation of, any of the rules or regulations promulgated by FINTRAC (if Client operates in Canada) or NACHA (if Client operates in the United States of America), or if Push Technologies reasonably believes such termination to be reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law or judicial or governmental demand or order.  
  3. This Section does not limit any of Push Technologies’ other rights or remedies at law, in equity, or under this Agreement.
  1.  Termination Without Cause.     Push Technologies may terminate this Agreement and all Sales Orders without cause upon thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to Client.
  2. Termination of Sales Order.   For avoidance of doubt, termination of a Sales Order standing alone does not automatically terminate this Agreement or any other Sales Orders as to all other matters hereunder.
  3. Termination/Suspension of Payment Services.   Without limiting the foregoing and in addition thereto, the parties agree that any Services that involve electronic or check payments being made by Push Technologies to third parties on Client’s behalf (collectively "Payment Services") and at its direction involve a credit risk to Push Technologies.   Such Services (including access to Client’s Account) may be immediately suspended or terminated by Push Technologies without prior notice if (each, a "Default"):
  1. Push Technologies has not received timely funds from Client;
  2. a bank notifies Push Technologies that it is no longer willing to originate debits from Client’s account(s) and/or credits on Client’s behalf for any reason;
  3. the authorization to debit Client’s account is terminated or Push Technologies reasonably believes that there is or has been fraudulent activity on the account;
  4. Push Technologies reasonably determines that Client no longer meets Push Technologies’ credit/financial eligibility requirements for such Services;
  5. Client has any material adverse change in its financial condition; or
  6. Push Technologies reasonably determines that Client presents an undue credit risk to Push Technologies or in the event of any other termination right.

If Payment Services are not terminated despite the occurrence of any of the events described above, Push Technologies may require Client to pay its outstanding and all future third-party payment amounts covered by Payment Services and/or Push Technologies’ fees and charges for Payment Services to Push Technologies by (i) bank or certified check; (ii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds; and/or (iii) advance of the then current schedule, as a condition to receiving further Payment Services.    Push Technologies shall have the right, without liability to Client or any third party, to suspend the Payment Services (including access to Client’s Account) for as long as the Default remains uncured in the sole judgment of Push Technologies.

  1. Discontinuance of Services.  Without limiting and in addition to its other rights hereunder, Push Technologies reserves the right to discontinue any Service or other deliverable at any time without cause.   In such event:
  1. Push Technologies will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least six (6) months' notice before the termination of the Service or deliverable.
  2. During the timeframe between when the end-of-life notification is made and the actual termination date for such Service or deliverable, no new enhancements will be made to the Service or deliverable.
  1. Post-Termination.  If use of any Services is or may be terminated by Push Technologies pursuant to this Section 15, and without limiting its other remedies hereunder, Push Technologies shall be entitled to allocate any funds remitted or otherwise made available by Client to Push Technologies in such priorities as Push Technologies (in its sole discretion) deems appropriate (including reimbursing Push Technologies for payments made by Push Technologies hereunder on Client’s behalf to a third party). If any Services are terminated by either Party hereto, Client shall immediately:
  1. become solely responsible for all of its third-party payment obligations covered by such Services then or thereafter due;
  2. reimburse Push Technologies for all payments made by Push Technologies hereunder on Client’s behalf to any third party; and
  3. pay any and all fees and charges invoiced by Push Technologies to Client relating to the Services.
  1. Limited Access Rights.  Upon termination of any of the Service(s) and/or termination of this Agreement or any Sales Order, any license or right of Client (or any Authorized User) to access and use such terminated Services(s) will automatically terminate; provided however that Push Technologies may, for thirty (30) calendar days after the effective date of termination, continue to provide Client with the ability to access the Client Account in a limited capacity with respect to such terminated Service(s), for the purpose of viewing and downloading information to the extent otherwise available in the Client Account at the time of termination of such Service(s) ("Limited Access Rights").   During any period in which Client has Limited Access Rights, Client must use reasonable efforts to adequately secure, and keep confidential, any passwords or credentials for the Client Account, and any information accessible via the Client Account.  Push Technologies may deny the Limited Access Rights to Client, or Push Technologies may revoke the Limited Access Rights at any time in its sole discretion, if it has any reason to believe that Client may have at any time breached any material provision of this Agreement, including Section 5.2 (Restricted Uses) or Section 12 (Compliance) hereof.   In no event shall any termination or suspension or revocation relieve Client of the obligation to pay any fees payable to Push Technologies for the period prior to the effective date of such termination or suspension or revocation. 
  2.   Termination of Sales Orders.   Termination or expiration of any Sales Order shall not of itself terminate this Agreement or any other Sales Order then in effect. 
  3. Downgrades.   Client may not downgrade its Services or reduce the number of seats under any Services during a Subscription Term. If Client desires to downgrade its Services or reduce the number of seats under any Services for a Subsequent Term, Client must provide Push Technologies with thirty (30) days advance written notice prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Term. Downgrading Services by Client may cause loss of content, features, or capacity of the Services as available to Client under its the Client Account, and Push Technologies shall not be liable for any costs, losses, damages, penalties, fines, expenses, or liabilities arising out of or related to any downgrading.
  4. No Refunds.  Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if Client elects to terminate its subscription to the Services or cancel its the Client Account prior to the end of its then-current Subscription Term, no refunds or credits for subscription charges or other fees or payments will be provided to Client.
  5. Termination Claims.   Push Technologies shall have no liability for any costs, losses, damages, penalties, fines, expenses, or liabilities arising out of or related to the termination or suspension of this Agreement or any Sales Order in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Section 15.      
  6.   Surviving Provisions.  All provisions of this Agreement or the relevant Sales Order that expressly, or by their nature, are intended to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement or such Sales Order (as the case may be), including in the case of this Agreement Section 5.2 (Restricted Use), Section 7.3 (Compliance), Section 9.2 (Anonymized Data), Section 9.3 (Feedback), Section 10 (Records), Section 11 (Fees), Section 12 (Compliance) Section 13 (Intellectual Property), Section 14 (Confidentiality), this Section 15 (Termination), Section 16 (Warranties and Disclaimers), Section 17 (Indemnification), Section 18 (Limitation of Liability), and Sections 3 (Definitions) and Section 20 (General Provisions) of this Agreement, and any and all claims or actions or causes of action arising prior to or in existence as of the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement or the relevant Sales Order, each shall not terminate and shall survive until the respective rights and obligations of the parties are fully satisfied or discharged hereunder and thereunder, as applicable.

    2. Push Technologies Indemnification.    Push Technologies agrees to and shall fully indemnify Client from and against any and all Losses which arise out or relate to or are in connection with any claim by an unaffiliated third party that the use by Client (including any Authorized User) of the Site or the Services infringes or misappropriates the IP Rights of such third party (also, "Claim"), but excluding from such indemnification any Claim to the extent caused or based on any of the following ("Excluded Claims"):

  4. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES SHALL BE APPLICABLE NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
  1.    SECURITY AND CONTROLS
    1. Business Continuity; Disaster Recovery.  Push Technologies maintains a commercially reasonable business continuity and disaster recovery plan and will follow such plan.
    2.

    3. Data Security Incident Notification.   If Push Technologies becomes aware of a security breach (as defined in any applicable law) or any other event that compromises the security, confidentiality or integrity of Client’s Personal Information (an "Incident"), Push Technologies will take appropriate actions to contain, investigate and mitigate the Incident. In the event that applicable law requires notification to individuals and others of such an Incident, Push Technologies will take additional mitigation steps including providing assistance with the drafting and mailing of such notifications. Push Technologies and Client shall mutually agree on the content and timing of any such notification, in good faith and as needed to meet applicable legal requirements.
  2.  GENERAL PROVISIONS

    2. Related Persons.

Entire Agreement.   This Agreement, including any and all exhibits, attachments, and appendices, and including all then applicable Sales Orders and Additional Service Terms, constitutes the entire integrated understanding and agreement between the parties as to all matters contained herein, and supersedes any and all prior agreements, representations and understandings of the parties.

Governing Law.   This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of California, without regard to the choice or conflicts of laws rules of such jurisdiction.  The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application to this Agreement, including all transactions under this Agreement and the subject matter of this Agreement.  Any disputes, actions, claims or causes of action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Services shall be subject to arbitration pursuant to the arbitration clause below, excluding any Intellectual Property Claims as defined herein, which shall be solely subject to litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction wherever located; and provided further that a Party also may seek injunctive or other equitable relief or enforcement of any judgment or award in any court of competent jurisdiction wherever located.   
  7. Arbitration.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement and except as otherwise set forth in this Section 20.15:
  1. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 20.14 above regarding injunctive or other equitable relief, if either Client or Push Technologies has any dispute, controversy, or claim, whether founded in contract, tort, statutory, or common law, concerning, arising out of, or relating to this Agreement or the Services, including any claim regarding the applicability, interpretation, scope, or validity of this arbitration clause and/or this Agreement (each of the foregoing, a "Legal Claim") that cannot be resolved directly between Client and Push Technologies, the Parties agree to resolve the dispute or controversy through arbitration in San Francisco, California under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, excluding however from arbitration for all purposes any Legal Claim with respect to the ownership, scope, validity, enforceability, or infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property or IP Rights of any Party or its affiliate or licensor, ("Intellectual Property Claims").  However, in the unforeseen event that arbitration sited in San Francisco, California is found to be unenforceable by a court with proper jurisdiction over the parties, then arbitration is still otherwise enforceable and mandatory according to the terms of this provision, but may in that circumstance be sited in any major metropolitan area within the state of the court making that decision (any city with a AAA office shall be deemed to be a major metropolitan area in this event).   All proceedings will be in English.  The Parties shall be entitled to such discovery as the Parties agree or as otherwise ordered by the arbitrator.  The arbitrator may award all forms of relief that would otherwise be available in court, including injunctive relief.  The arbitrator shall render a reasoned decision, and the decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the Parties to the arbitration.  Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court having jurisdiction.

BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY AGREES TO HAVE ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS OR CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 20.14 HEREOF (GOVERNING LAW), DECIDED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATION, AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES (i) ANY RIGHTS THE PARTY MIGHT OTHERWISE POSSESS TO HAVE THOSE MATTERS LITIGATED IN A COURT OR JURY TRIAL, (ii) ANY RIGHT THE PARTY MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES; AND (iii) TO JUDICIAL RIGHTS TO DISCOVERY AND APPEAL EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH RIGHTS ARE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED FOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.  
  3. If any Party refuses to submit to arbitration after agreeing to this provision, the Party may be compelled to arbitrate under United States federal law or, if United States federal law does not apply, under California state law.  The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply but, in the event that the Federal Arbitration Act does not apply, the Parties agree that the California Arbitration Act shall apply. 
  4. Notwithstanding the Parties’ rights in Section 20.14 above (Governing Law) and in this Section 20.15, the Parties acknowledge that, in the event it is appropriate and has some likelihood of success as to a particular matter as a dispute resolution mechanism, mediation may be the preferable means of dispute resolution.  In the event of a dispute between the Parties to this Agreement over the interpretation, application or enforcement of this Agreement, the Parties shall first determine whether participation in mediation of that dispute is mutually acceptable and has some likelihood of success.  If so, the Parties shall agree upon a mediator to facilitate the Parties’ discussion and resolution of their disputes and, prior to the commencement of the mediation proceedings, the Parties shall enter into a stipulation that information and documentation presented in mediation shall be treated as privileged in any subsequent proceeding under Sections 20.14 or this Section 20.15.  Despite the Parties’ agreement to consider mediation in the event of a dispute between them, the Parties retain their rights to institute proceedings as provided above.  
  1. Further Assurances and Documentation. Each Party hereto shall, from time to time at and after the date hereof, execute and deliver or cause the execution and delivery of such instruments, documents and assurances and take such further action as the other Party may reasonably request to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement, including in connection with any confirmation or assignment of Intellectual Property rights or including any documentation to be filed with any governmental or regulatory authority.  Without limiting the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that in order for Push Technologies to perform the Services, it may be necessary for Client to execute and deliver additional documents (such as reporting agent authorization, client account agreement, limited powers of attorney, et cetera) and Client agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents.
  2. Regulatory Notice.   No provincial, state, territorial, or federal agency monitors or assumes any responsibility for the financial solvency of third-party tax filers.
  3.  Use of Agents.   Push Technologies may designate any agent or subcontractor to perform such tasks and functions to complete any Services covered under this Agreement. However, nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve Push Technologies from responsibility for performance of its duties under the terms of this Agreement.
  4. Rights in Bankruptcy.  All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement to Push Technologies are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code and [Sections 32(6) of the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) and Section 65.11(7) the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act of Canada respectively (collectively, "Bankruptcy Code"), licenses of rights to "intellectual property" as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code.   A Party as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code.   To the extent the Bankruptcy Code provisions shall not be applicable in a specific jurisdiction notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, and in addition to and without limiting the other rights and remedies of the licensee Party set forth in this Agreement, such Party further shall have all rights and remedies as licensees of intellectual property under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws or proceedings in or with respect to such jurisdiction.
  5. Interpretation. The headings of the sections and subsections contained in this Agreement, including any Sales Order, are included for reference purposes only, are solely for the convenience of the parties, and shall not in any manner be deemed to affect the meaning, interpretation or applicability of this Agreement or any Sales Orders or the provisions hereof or thereof.

  6. Electronic Signatures
    1. Push Technologies provides an electronic signature service (the "Electronic Signature Service") which allows parties to sign documents electronically. Each time that Client uses the Electronic Signature Service, Client is expressly (i) affirming that Client is able to access and view the document (the "Document") and Client is electronically signing via the Electronic Signature Service; (ii) consenting to conduct business electronically with respect to the transaction contemplated by the Document; and (iii) agreeing to the use of electronic signatures for the Document.
    2. While many users prefer the convenience of electronic signatures, using the Electronic Signature Service to electronically sign Documents is optional, and Client can choose to manually sign Documents if Client prefers. If Client would like to manually sign a Document, Client should (i) inform the Party that sent Client the Document of Client’s decision to manually sign such Document; (ii) make sure that Client does not electronically sign the Document via the Electronic Signature Service; and (iii) obtain a physical copy of the Document for Client to sign.

UNDER APPLICABLE STATE, PROVINCIAL, AND FEDERAL LAWS, ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE ON SOME DOCUMENTS. IT IS THE CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO CONSULT WITH A LAWYER OR AN ATTORNEY TO DETERMINE WHETHER A DOCUMENT WILL BE ENFORCEABLE IF IT IS ELECTRONICALLY SIGNED VIA THE ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE SERVICE.
  7. Electronic Transmission.  This Agreement, and any amendments or changes hereto, by whatever means accepted, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were an original signed version thereof, delivered in person. Neither Party hereto shall argue that a contract was not formed hereunder based on (i) the use of electronic means to deliver a signature or to indicate acceptance of this Agreement, (ii) the terms and conditions of Sections 1 and 2 hereof, or (iii) the fact that any signature or acceptance of this Agreement was transmitted or communicated through electronic means; and each Party forever waives any related defense.
  8. Privacy Policy.  Please refer to Push Technologies’ Privacy Policy for information on how Push Technologies collects, uses, and discloses personally identifiable information from Client. Client acknowledges and understands that Push Technologies may collect, use, and disclose such information pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as supplemented by the Push Technologies Privacy Policy, as updated from time to time.
  9. Third Party Beneficiaries.  Nothing in this Agreement creates or will be deemed to create third party beneficiaries of or under this Agreement, other than any indemnitees solely for purposes of Section 17 hereof (Indemnification).

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in these Payroll and Tax Reporting Terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Main Agreement. Client agrees that the Main Agreement and Payroll and Tax Reporting Terms are a legally binding agreement between Client and Push Technologies. The Client should thoroughly read these Payroll and Tax Reporting Terms and the Main Agreement carefully and to save a copy of it for its records. 

These Payroll and Tax Reporting Terms set forth the terms and conditions pertaining to Client’s operations in the United States of America. By accessing and using any of the Payroll and Tax Service, Client accepts and agrees to be bound by these Terms and the Main Agreement.

I.        These Payroll and Tax Reporting Terms Are Part of and Are Governed by the Push Technologies US Master Services Agreement. 

The terms and conditions of these Payroll and Tax Reporting Terms are subject to the Main Agreement agreed to in connection with the creation of Client’s Account, including but not limited to all representations, warranties, covenants, disclaimers, limitations on liability, agreements, and indemnities relating to the Services, are set forth in the Main Agreement, which to the extent relevant are incorporated by reference into these Payroll and Tax Reporting Terms.

II.      Payroll and Tax Reporting Services

A.      CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYROLL INFORMATION/FUNDS:

Client understands that Push Technologies operates a payroll system that automatically generates employee gross pay and tax withholding amounts based exclusively on the payroll information supplied to Push Technologies by Client. Client agrees that it is Client’s responsibility to input correct payroll information for its own employees, to insure that all such information is kept complete, up to date, and in compliance with legal requirements applicable to Client, and to verify the accuracy of all such information on an ongoing basis for each and every pay period. Client agrees that Push Technologies has no obligation to inspect or verify the payroll data supplied by Client.

Client shall deliver to or otherwise provide Push Technologies with accurate and complete payroll and employee information and funds sufficient to cover all required payments under these Payroll and Tax Reporting Terms (including, without limitation, employee wage and salary payments, tax payments, garnishments, and service fees). Funds must be available no later than 12:01 am Eastern Time 4 banking day(s) prior to each scheduled payroll date. If, however, the scheduled payday falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or bank holiday, then such information and funds must be made available no later than 12:01 am Eastern Time 4 banking day(s) prior to such scheduled payday. Client agrees that Push Technologies may debit (via ACH) Client’s account via an ACH processor in order for Push Technologies to make Client’s payroll payments.

If Client fails to deliver accurate and complete payroll information and funds by the deadline set forth above, Push Technologies shall not be obligated to deliver the payroll on the scheduled payday. If Client fails to maintain a sufficient balance in the designated payroll account to cover all required payments then, in addition to all other remedies available at law, Client shall pay Push Technologies insufficient funds fees in accordance with Push Technologies’ price schedule.

Push Technologies may require certain payrolls to be funded by wire transfer or by other means providing immediately available funds if Push Technologies in its sole discretion so notifies Client inwriting (which for purposes of these Payroll and Tax Reporting Terms shall include notice by electronic mail to the Client contact e-mail address provided by Client at initial set-up). Push Technologies may terminate these Payroll and Tax Reporting Terms if Client repeatedly fails to deposit and maintain sufficient funds in the designated payroll account to allow Push Technologies to make all required payments. 

B.       SERVICE FEE:

Client shall pay Push Technologies a service fee for the payroll services to which Client has subscribed on the Sales Order in accordance with Push Technologies’ price quote. Push Technologies may adjust the pricing of its services in accordance with its pricing schedule as may be in effect from time to time, and Push Technologies may change both its ongoing service fees as well as specific one-time charges (such as set-up fees or Non-Sufficient Funds (“NSF” charges) to be charged to Client upon written notice to Client. Client understands and agrees that quarterly and/or annual payroll reports to be provided to Client may be withheld by Push Technologies if Client has not paid such service fees as may have been due at the close of the calendar period.

C.       PAYMENT:

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Push Technologies, Client shall pay its fees for all Push Technologies services through an ACH transaction. Client agrees that the funds representing the total amount due for all applicable Push Technologies billings must be on deposit in Client’s designated bank account in collectible form and in sufficient amount on the day the Push Technologies ACH charge is initiated. If sufficient funds are not available upon presentation of Push Technologies’ ACH charge to Client’s bank account, Push Technologies may take such further action, as it deems appropriate and consistent with the Main Agreement or this section or any other agreement with Client.  ACH or other payments not received by the date due will be subject to the NSF Fees outlined in these Payroll and Tax Reporting Terms  

D.       FORMS:

Client shall execute and deliver to Push Technologies all forms required to process Client’s payroll, and, if applicable, make all required tax payments and file all applicable state and federal tax forms, including, but not limited to, the tax forms identified on the Onboarding Package.

E.       CLIENT’S ACTS/INDEMNITY:

Push Technologies shall not be responsible for Client’s acts or omissions (including, without limitation, the amount, accuracy, timeliness of transmittal, or authorization of any entry received from Client). Client shall indemnify Push Technologies, pursuant to Section 17 of the Main Agreement, against any loss, liability, damages, costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) resulting from or arising out of Client’s performance or failure to perform its obligations under the  Main Agreement or these Payroll and Tax Reporting Terms, including but not limited to, the execution of instructions in good faith and in compliance with security procedures set forth below.  Client, and not Push Technologies, shall be responsible for Client’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements for payroll and tax reporting with respect to Client’s employees. 

F.       PASSWORD/TELEPHONIC INSTRUCTIONS:

Push Technologies will assign a user identification number  to all remote access and Internet users. Client is responsible for setting up their password. Each time Client accesses the service, Client will be required to enter the necessary password. Push Technologies has no obligation to verify any transaction request it receives from remote or Internet users that enter the correct user identification number and password. All payroll service transactions initiated by persons entering the correct user identification number and password are deemed to be fully authorized by Client.

If a password is lost or stolen, or disclosed to or discovered by an unauthorized individual, Client must notify Push Technologies immediately. Failure to notify Push Technologies promptly could result in loss of funds and unauthorized access to confidential information concerning Client and its employees. Client may contact Push Technologies at 1 (800) 449-9756 to report a lost, stolen or unauthorized disclosure of its user identification number or password. Push Technologies reserves the right to prevent access to the payroll service if Push Technologies has reason to believe the confidentiality of passwords has been compromised. Client understands that Push Technologies has implemented the password security procedures for the purpose of verifying the authenticity of the payment instructions transmitted to Push Technologies, and not for the purpose of detecting errors in such instructions. Client agrees that such procedures constitute a commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized instructions. Client agrees to be bound by any instruction received and verified by Push Technologies in accordance with such security procedures. Client may communicate with Push Technologies by telephone about the payroll service. Push Technologies may assign a telephone code word to be used by Client’s authorized representatives information or other instructions communicated to Push Technologies by an authorized Client representative using the authorization code word will be deemed to have been fully authorized by Client.

Push Technologies may, in its sole discretion, refuse to accept or act upon any telephonic instructions if Push Technologies has reason to believe the confidentiality of the code word has been compromised. At Client’s request, Push Technologies will make a reasonable effort to reverse an unauthorized entry, but shall not be responsible for the failure of any other person or entity to honor Client’s request. Client agrees to reimburse Push Technologies for any expenses incurred in attempting to honor such requests.

G.       TRANSITION/INFORMATION.

No later than ten (10) business days prior to the initial scheduled pay day, Client shall deliver to Push Technologies all completed and executed documents Push Technologies requires to provide payroll (and other) services, as well as any additional information requested by Push Technologies. Subsequent to the initial payroll processing, Client will complete and execute any renewals, amendments or replacements of documents which Push Technologies deems necessary.

H.         NON-SUFFICIENT FUNDS (NSF).

Push Technologies agrees to provide Client with all documentation and invoices necessary to correctly fund Client impound bank account. Should the bank account on file not be properly funded, upon notification, Client agrees to send funds via domestic wire funds by 3:00 pm Eastern Time. This wire will include all debit items returned plus fees set forth below for all ACH transactions outlined in these Terms according to wire instructions which will be made available to Client via email to the email address indicated above prior to 12:00 pm Eastern Time. Push Technologies NSF fees include the following charges: $70.00 per transaction item returned; $50.00 processing fee per item returned; 1.75% interest loan fee up to $10,000 of returned items or 1.25% for items greater than $10,000; $75.00 late fee per item per day if wire is not received by 3:00 pm Eastern Time on the date of notification.

  1. Initiate the payment of taxes from the Client’s bank account and deposit with an appropriate authorized depository on or before the applicable statutory deadlines (made known to Push Technologies by client), the required Federal, State, Territorial and/or local payroll tax withholding and employer obligations, and;
  2. Prepare and file all required Federal, State, Territorial and/or local payroll tax returns, forms and reports. 

B.         LIMITATIONS:

In addition to the other limitations contained in the Main Agreement or these Payroll and Tax Reporting Terms,  Push Technologies shall not be liable for tax deficiencies, interest charges and/or penalty assessments associated with any payroll tax payment or the failure to timely file or make any required payroll tax payment unless such deficiencies, interest charges and/or penalty assessments result from the negligence or willful misconduct of Push Technologies. Push Technologies shall not be liable for failure to make or timely make payroll tax deposits or filings if Client has not provided Push Technologies with adequate and necessary payroll, tax (i.e. account numbers, rates, etc.) and employee information or if Client fails to provide Push Technologies, or to maintain in its designated payroll and/or tax account, sufficient funds to cover such payroll and/or payroll tax obligations.

C.         CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR INFORMATION:

Client acknowledges that Push Technologies’ tax service automatically generates Federal, State, Territorial and/or local tax withholding and other employer and employee  tax deposits and returns which ultimately rely on data supplied to Push Technologies by Client. Client acknowledges that Push Technologies will rely on the payroll data supplied to it by Client as it automatically completes and submits filings to government agencies or other third parties. In addition, Client acknowledges that it is responsible for providing Push Technologies with a list of all tax jurisdictions and filing/payment frequencies which must be provided 15 days before the first payment is due to be performed by Push Technologies. Push Technologies will rely on such tax information provided by Client to make such payments in a timely manner and any penalties resulting from Push Technologies reliance on such tax information provided by Client will be Client’s responsibility.

Client further agrees to immediately provide Push Technologies with copies of any notices or correspondence (including coupon booklets, quarterly and annual tax returns, etc.) received from any Federal, State, Territorial and/or local tax authority with respect to tax returns or deposits made by/with Push Technologies. Client acknowledges that Client is responsible for registration for all tax jurisdictions in which Push Technologies is responsible for filing or preparing tax documents or payments on Client’s behalf.

Failure to register will carry a $50.00 penalty per quarter for each filing made on behalf of client for each jurisdiction not registered. Client shall maintain sufficient funds in its designated payroll account (and payroll tax account, if a separate account) necessary for Push Technologies to perform the services provided hereunder, including without limitation for the purposes of funding tax payments or deposits, amounts for interest, tax penalties or assessments not resulting from any mistake or negligence on the part of Push Technologies, as well as the service fees due Push Technologies for providing its tax services. Client shall further insure that sufficient funds are maintained in its designated payroll account (and payroll tax account, if a separate account) in accordance with a time table which Push Technologies shall in its reasonable discretion establish, not to exceed four (4) business days prior to the check date.

D.         TAX ACCOUNT:

Client agrees that Push Technologies may initiate a transfer from the Client’s bank to the related governmental authorities for payment of taxes.

B.         ACCURACY OF INFORMATION:

Client understands that it is responsible for providing to Push Technologies in timely fashion accurate payroll information necessary for Push Technologies to transmit direct deposit information containing ACH transactions to its designated ACH processor.

Provided, however, that the foregoing security interest shall not apply to those assets and receivables which are held in trust for or on behalf of Client’s own clients or other third parties, or which contain confidential or privileged information, or which contain other information the disclosure of which would be a violation of Client’s policies or any applicable law restricting such disclosure to third parties. To qualify for direct deposit services, Client authorizes Push Technologies to run a routine credit check and, in some cases, to obtain a simple bank reference at client’s expense prior to or after initiation of service.

In the event that an electronic debit of the Client’s account has been returned to Push Technologies’ ACH processor by reason of insufficient funds in the Client’s account (NSF), Push at its discretion may require the client to have funds available for processing seven (7) business days prior to the check date for future processing.
