By using Findcoder Services, Merchant agrees to our use, collection and disclosure of personally identifiable information in accordance with the Privacy Notice. Furthermore, as a Subscriber, Merchant agrees to establish and maintain a privacy policy that complies with local laws in Merchant’s jurisdiction and that is consistent with the Findcoder Privacy Notice. Merchant agrees that Findcoder may collect, maintain and use non-personally identifiable data obtained by it through the provision of Findcoder Services, including User Content, in aggregated form for its business purposes, and the improvement and enhancement of Findcoder Services, and Merchant grants Findcoder an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive right to use such data for such purposes.

Findcoder shall commence charging the software license fees described in the Merchant’s Sales Quote on the Effective Date. Merchant shall pay Findcoder any fees specified in its Sales Quote, in accordance with the timing and currency specified in the Sales Quote. Overdue amounts shall accrue interest at a rate which is the lesser of: two percent (2%) per month or the maximum rate allowable by law.

All pre-paid license, subscription, or other fees (including professional services such as installation and training) are non-refundable and subject to any additional payment or other terms or conditions provided for in the Merchant’s Findcoder Services Agreement.

Except as expressly provided in the applicable Sales Quote, Findcoder reserves the right, exercisable at any time prior to the commencement of any renewal term, to discontinue, during any such renewal term, any promotion or discount provided to Merchant on fees for Findcoder Services. In the event Findcoder chooses to exercise such right, the fees payable by Merchant for Findcoder Services during such renewal term and thereafter shall be Findcoder’s standard list prices for the applicable services in effect at the time of the applicable renewal. Any such change in fees will be communicated to Merchant by written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then current term, and shall take effect upon the commencement of the renewal term, unless Merchant terminates the Findcoder Services Agreement by delivery of written notice to Findcoder within ten (10) days of receiving notice of such fee changes.

4) Ownership, Copyright and Trademarks

The content made available by Findcoder through Findcoder Services, including all information, content, data, logos, marks, interfaces, designs, graphics, pictures, sound files, other files, and their selection and arrangement, is called “Content”. Content provided by Users is called “User Content”. For example, data about its Customers that Merchant provides to Findcoder and, data about its payments, menu, or operations that Merchant provides to Findcoder or is accessible by Findcoder through Findcoder Service is User Content of that Merchant, and Content that a User enters into any Findcoder database is User Content of the User. User Content is that User’s property and may only be utilized by Findcoder as expressly authorized herein. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that Findcoder is granted a limited license to utilize any User Content as necessary to provide and perform Findcoder Services, including to provide support to Users. Other than the User Content, all Content and all software available on Findcoder Services or used to create and operate Findcoder Services is the property of Findcoder or its licensors, and is protected by international patent, trademark, and copyright laws, and all rights to Findcoder Services, such Content and such software are expressly reserved. All trademarks, registered trademarks, product names and company names or logos mentioned in Findcoder Services are the property of their respective owners. Reference to any products, services, processes or other information, by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, supplier or otherwise does not constitute or imply endorsement, sponsorship or recommendation of them by Findcoder. Throughout the term of Findcoder Services Agreement, Findcoder may utilize Merchant’s business name, Merchant’s logo and Merchant’s other registered or unregistered trademarks, trade names, brands and/or service marks, on the Site and in other Findcoder promotional material, to promote the business of Findcoder. Findcoder may use and shall be the exclusive owner of any feedback, suggestions, improvements or ideas (“Feedback”) Merchant provides or has provided to Findcoder regarding Findcoder Services. This applies to Feedback provided to Findcoder at any time in any format. Merchant assigns all intellectual property rights in Feedback to Findcoder immediately upon communication of such Feedback to Findcoder or its representatives. Findcoder may use Feedback for any purpose without compensation or attribution to Merchant and Merchant forever waives and surrenders any and all rights in Feedback. If Merchant authorizes third parties to access Merchant’s User Content through Findcoder Services, Merchant agrees that we are permitted to provide to them the User Content, and also agrees that we have no responsibility or liability for their use of such User Content. Any such access shall be governed by any applicable end user or API agreements or terms applicable to such third party and may be subject to fees charged by such third party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Merchant is responsible for all business continuity, data loss, business interruption, or other risks that may arise out of Merchant’s use of Findcoder Services. Findcoder denies, disclaims, and waives any liability for any loss that may occur arising through use of Findcoder Services, including, but not limited to, loss of data, business interruption, incorrect calculation of any amount, including taxes or amounts due from Merchant’s Customers, or loss of Merchant’s goodwill. Findcoder Services are provided on an “as is” basis. Merchant acknowledges and accepts all risks associated with using Findcoder Services and releases Findcoder from any claim or liability in relation thereto. Merchant’s User Content is Merchant’s responsibility. We have no responsibility or liability for it, or for any loss or damage Merchant’s User Content may cause to Merchant or other people.

5) Merchant Limited License of Merchant User Content to Findcoder

We do not claim any ownership interest or rights in Merchant User Content except as provided for under the Terms, but we do need the right to use Merchant User Content to the extent necessary to provide Findcoder Services, now and in the future. Therefore, with respect to any User Content posted to, distributed or otherwise accessible through Findcoder Services, Merchant (a) grants Findcoder a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable right to use, display, perform, reproduce, distribute, publish, modify, adapt, translate, and create derivative works from such User Content, i) in any manner as may be necessary to provide Findcoder Services, ii) for any purposes for which Findcoder Services from time to time use such User Content, and iii) to ensure the security of Findcoder Services, systems and technology; (b) represents and warrants that (i) Merchant owns and controls all of the rights to the User Content Merchant posts, distributes or is made otherwise accessible to Findcoder by Merchant through Findcoder Service, or Merchant otherwise has the lawful right to post and distribute that User Content, to or through Findcoder Services, and (ii) the use and posting or other transmission of such User Content does not violate the Terms and will not violate any rights of or cause injury to any person or entity.

If Merchant’s User Content is intended for the use of other Users, Merchant also grants us and our partners a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable right to sublicense such User Content to such Users for their use in connection with their use of Findcoder Services in accordance with all applicable privacy laws and regulations. These licenses from Merchant are non-exclusive because Merchant has the right to use Merchant User Content elsewhere. They are royalty-free because we are not required to pay Merchant for the use of Merchant User Content on Findcoder Services. They are transferable because we need the right to transfer these licenses to any successor operator of Findcoder Services. Our rights to “modify, adapt, translate, and create derivative works from” are necessary because the normal operation of Findcoder Services does this to Merchant User Content when it processes it for use in Findcoder Services.

In addition to the foregoing, Merchant agrees that Findcoder may compile, collect, copy, modify, publish and otherwise use User Content in an aggregated fashion (excluding any parts of the User Content that represents personally identifiable information of an individual) (“Aggregated Anonymous Data”) for any lawful purpose. Findcoder shall be the owner of the Aggregated Anonymous Data, and may, without limitation, use the Aggregated Anonymous Data to analyze, improve, support and operate Findcoder Services, combine it with data from other sources, share it with third parties and otherwise use it for any lawful business purpose, both during the currency, and after the termination, of the Merchant’s Findcoder Services Agreement, including without limitation, in order to generate industry benchmarks or best practices guidance, recommendations or similar reports for distribution to and consumption by Findcoder, Subscribers and other third parties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that any and all Customer information and data, including personally identifiable information, of any Customer of Merchant which is collected by Findcoder through the use by the Customer of Findcoder’s reservations, waitlist and online ordering services and Gift Card Services (as defined below) (collectively, the “RWOO Customer Data”) shall be the sole property of Findcoder and not Merchant. To the extent allowable by applicable law and authorized by the Customer in question, Findcoder may share RWOO Customer Data with Merchant, solely for the purpose of Merchant fulfilling Customer reservation, waitlist, online ordering, Gift Card Services or other requests and for no other purposes. Merchant agrees to utilize all RWOO Customer Data solely for the purposes for which the data was provided to Merchant, and Merchant agrees to at all time comply with applicable privacy and other laws associated with the handling and use of such RWOO Customer Data.

6) Our Limited License of Content to Merchant

Findcoder grants Merchant a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to access Findcoder Services and to view, copy and print the portions of the Content available to Merchant through Findcoder Services for the limited purpose of using Findcoder Services as contemplated by Merchant’s Findcoder Services Agreement. Such license is subject to the Terms, and specifically conditional upon the following: (i) Merchant may only view, copy and print such portions of the Content for Merchant’s own use as contemplated by Findcoder Services; (ii) Merchant may not modify or otherwise make derivative works of the Content, or reproduce, distribute or display the Content except as expressly permitted in the Terms; (iii) Merchant may not remove or modify any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices that have been placed in the Content; (iv) Merchant may not use any data mining, robots or similar data gathering or extraction methods; and (v) Merchant may not use Findcoder Services or the Content other than for their intended purpose. Merchant may not assist any third party in carrying out these prohibited activities. When Merchant uses Findcoder Services to publish any menu, online ordering or similar functionality, a Findcoder logo or similar attribution with a link to findcoder.co.uk will be installed. Except as expressly permitted above, any use of any portion of the Content without the prior written permission of Findcoder is strictly prohibited and may result in the termination of the license granted in this section without notice, and immediate termination of the Merchant’s Findcoder Services Agreement and Merchant account with us. Any such unauthorized use may also violate applicable laws, including without limitation patent, copyright and trademark laws. Unless explicitly stated herein, nothing in the Terms may be construed as conferring any license to intellectual property rights, whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise. The license in this section is revocable by Findcoder at any time without notice or warning. Merchant represents and warrants that its use of Findcoder Services and the Content will be consistent with this license and will not infringe or violate the rights of any other party or breach any contract or legal duty to any other parties, or violate any applicable law or regulation.

7) Using Findcoder Services and Marketing Services

Findcoder Services may include services whereby Merchant, developers, or third parties hired by Merchant use Findcoder Services to market Merchant’s products and services. This section contains terms and conditions applicable to Merchant’s use of Findcoder Services for that purpose (a “Findcoder Marketing Initiative”). If Merchant procures a third party to develop a Findcoder Marketing Initiative for Merchant, this section applies to Merchant and its use of the Findcoder Services, and Merchant is responsible for the third party’s compliance with this section to the same extent as though Merchant were developing the Findcoder Marketing Initiative itself. Findcoder grants Merchant a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable license to use Findcoder Services as provided by Findcoder, in the manner permitted by the Terms. Such license does not license any other Content to Merchant. If Merchant wishes to use Merchant’s Findcoder Marketing Initiative to display or deliver any Content provided to us by a Subscriber, Merchant must obtain the prior agreement of that Subscriber to that use, by obtaining a license from the Subscriber, for Merchant’s use of that Content. This limited license is subject to the usage restrictions set forth in Section 6 above.

8) Hardware for Findcoder Services

Findcoder Services are intended to operate together with dedicated hardware. To minimize the risk of security breaches and technology malfunctions, Merchant agrees to use dedicated hardware for Findcoder Services. For example, Merchant will ensure that Merchant’s employees do not install apps on the AIO Screens; do not use the AIO Screens to surf the web, and such. If Merchant does not use dedicated hardware, we reserve the right to not support Merchant’s Findcoder Services as the other applications may cause conflicts or performance issues with Findcoder Services.

Findcoder uses mobile device management (“MDM”) software to provide Findcoder Services, and Merchant acknowledges and agrees that, as a condition of receiving Findcoder Services, any hardware deployed by Merchant to utilize Findcoder Services shall be enrolled in the MDM program, and Findcoder shall have the right to access and control any such hardware through the MDM for any and all the purposes related to providing the Findcoder Services to Merchant, and for such other purposes as are expressly set forth herein. Merchant shall take any and all such steps as may be necessary in order to grant such access and control to Findcoder as Findcoder may require, in its sole discretion. The MDM software constitutes a third-party service for the purpose of the Terms. Please refer to Section 13 below for each party’s obligations with respect to such third-party service.

9) Using Findcoder Gift Card Services

Findcoder Services may include certain gift card services (the “Gift Card Services”) which support the issuance and management of gift cards to Customers. If Merchant offers gift cards to its Customers through Gift Card Services, Merchant (not us) is the issuer and administrator of such gift cards, which must: (i) not be reloadable; (ii) not be used for payment for a credit account; (iii) be “closed loop” gift cards that may only be used for purchase of goods and services from Merchant and no other merchant or company; and (iv) not assess or impose any fees or charges on the issuance, activation, maintenance, or redemption of gift cards. Merchant further agrees: (i) not to issue a gift card with a value in excess of five-hundred pounds sterling (£500) or add value to a previously issued gift card so that the total funds loaded on a gift card in any single day exceed five-hundred pounds sterling (£500); (ii) not to issue more than five-hundred pounds sterling (£500) in gift cards to any single person in any one day; (iii) not to impose an expiration date on the gift card, and any unused balance of a gift card must remain available to the holder of the gift card until fully redeemed, even if Merchant’s Findcoder account is closed, suspended, or terminated; and (iv) not to provide a cash refund from or cash back on gift cards except to the extent required by applicable law. When issuing a gift card, Merchant must clearly disclose on the gift card itself, and on any packaging and promotional materials associated with the gift card, any restrictions, limitations and terms and conditions in respect of the use of such gift card, as well as contact information for the purpose of obtaining information about the gift card, including any remaining balance. All gift cards and the funds associated with gift cards are Merchant’s sole property. In addition to Merchant’s other indemnification obligations under the Terms, any liability for the use or misuse of Merchant’s gift cards, including any unfunded gift card balance or fraudulent activity, unauthorized use or losses related to a gift card or Customer, and any third-party claims arising from or relating to Merchant’s gift cards, are Merchant’s sole responsibility. Merchant is solely responsible for compliance with federal, provincial/state, territorial, and local laws, rules and regulations that apply to its gift cards, including but not limited to notice, disclosure requirements and language requirements, expiration dates and fees, refunds, unclaimed property or escheat requirements (such as tracking, reporting, and remittance of unclaimed property balances in all states), and customer service for buyers and holders of gift cards. Merchant represents and warrants that the balance associated with its gift cards will be at all times appropriately funded by deposits placed by the Customers with Merchant in connection with such gift cards in an amount that is no less than 100% of the total amount of currency represented as active and available to Customers of the current day’s gift card balance. Merchant will be responsible for overseeing and managing such funding, and responsible and liable for any failure of the gift cards to be fully funded.

10) Other Restrictions on Use of Findcoder Services

Any party’s use of Findcoder Services is also subject to the following restrictions. Merchant (alone or by assisting or enabling any other party) may not: (i) interfere or attempt to interfere in any manner with the proper workings of Findcoder Services, or create or distribute any Findcoder Marketing Initiative that adversely affects the functionality or performance of Findcoder Services or adversely impacts the behavior of other applications using Findcoder Services; (ii) misrepresent Merchant’s identity or intentions when communicating with us in relation to Findcoder Services, use the developer credentials licensed to a different individual or entity, allow Merchant credentials to be used by others, or mask Merchant’s usage of Findcoder Services; (iii) use Findcoder Services in association with, or as a component of, any website that in the sole discretion of Findcoder is determined to be obscene or otherwise commercially inappropriate; (iv) use Findcoder Services for any application that constitutes, promotes or is used in connection with spam, spyware, adware, other malicious programs or code; (v) use Findcoder Services in any manner or for any purpose that violates any law or regulation, any right of any person, including but not limited to intellectual property rights, rights of privacy, or rights of personality, taxation or governmental reporting obligations or other regulatory obligations; (vi) replicate, in whole or in part, the “look and feel” of Findcoder Services or portion of them; (vii) use a combination of visual, design, or functional elements that could reasonably be expected to cause confusion between Findcoder Services and Merchant’s Findcoder Marketing Initiatives among users; (viii) disparage or otherwise negatively represent Findcoder Services or do anything that could result in damage or dilution to the goodwill of Findcoder and its brand; (ix) use Findcoder Services for any application or service that attempts to replace or replicate the essential user experience or functionality of any or all Findcoder Services; (x) reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of Findcoder Services or any part thereof; (xi) circumvent or render ineffective any IP address-based functionality or restriction imposed by Findcoder Services; (xii) circumvent technological measures to prevent direct database access, nor manufacture tools or products to that effect; (xiii) build conversion functionality that converts Content from the Service to a competing or alternative product or service; or (xiv) at any time when Merchant is operating a Findcoder Marketing Initiative, solicit, interfere with or endeavor to entice away from us any of our Subscribers or other Users. Merchant agrees to carefully monitor Merchant’s use of Findcoder Services and ensure that it remains within reasonable operational limits for both Merchant’s own server capacity and for ours, when applicable. Findcoder has no responsibility to any person for any use or misuse of any User Content obtained through Findcoder Services. If Merchant is a Subscriber, Merchant should consider carefully whether Merchant wishes to give a Findcoder Marketing Initiative services developer access to Merchant User Content through Findcoder Services. If Merchant wishes to revoke access to Merchant User Content through Findcoder Services, Merchant should change Merchant’s Findcoder Services password or revoke authorization of the Findcoder Marketing Initiative to Merchant Content. Findcoder may monitor Merchant use of Findcoder Services for any reason, including but not limited to: quality assurance, improvement of Findcoder products and services, and verification of Merchant compliance with the Terms. Merchant shall not interfere with such monitoring or otherwise obscure from Findcoder any aspect of Merchant use of the Findcoder Services. Merchant acknowledges that any use by us of Merchant’s Findcoder Marketing Initiative for such purpose will not constitute our agreement to any terms of use Merchant purports to require us to comply with in such use.

11) Using Social Media Areas and Findcoder Services

Findcoder Services may include discussion forums, location-based services, menu, pricing, and establishment information, bulletin boards, review services or other forums in which Merchant or third parties may post reviews or other content, messages, materials or other items (“Social Media Areas”). If Findcoder provides such Social Media Areas, Merchant is solely responsible for Merchant’s use of such Social Media Areas and uses them at its own risk. User Content submitted to any Social Media Areas will be considered non-confidential. Merchant agrees not to post, upload to, transmit, distribute, store, create or otherwise publish on Social Media Areas any of the following: (i) any message, data, information, text, music, sound, photos, graphics, code or other material that is unlawful, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, lewd, suggestive, harassing, threatening, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, inflammatory, fraudulent or otherwise objectionable; (ii) content that would constitute, encourage or provide instructions for a criminal offense, violate the rights of any party, or that would otherwise create liability or violate any local, state, national or international law; (iii) content that may infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual or proprietary right of any party; (iv) content that impersonates any person or entity or otherwise misrepresents Merchant’s affiliation with a person or entity; (v) unsolicited promotions, political campaigning, advertising or solicitations; (vi) private information of any third party, including, without limitation, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and credit card numbers, unless that third party has expressly consented to such use; (iv) viruses, corrupted data or other harmful, disruptive or destructive files; (v) content that is inaccurate, misleading, or unrelated to the topic of the Social Media Area(s) in which such Content is posted; or (vi) content that, in the sole judgment of Findcoder, is objectionable or which restricts or inhibits any other person from using or enjoying the Social Media Areas  or Findcoder Services, or which may expose Findcoder or its users to any harm or liability of any type. Findcoder has a “zero-tolerance” policy towards unauthorized marketing and spam: Merchant may not use the Social Media Areas or Findcoder Services generally to send commercial or other messages to any third party if those messages are not solicited, authorized or welcomed by the third party, and in Merchant’s use of Findcoder Services, Merchant must comply with all applicable laws, including laws that apply in any jurisdiction to spam and marketing practices, and with any applicable marketing association guidelines on ethical marketing practices. Any use of the Social Media Areas or other portions of Findcoder Services in violation of the foregoing violates the Terms and may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of Merchant’s rights to use the Social Media Areas and/or Findcoder Services.

12) Providing a Reliable and Secure Service

We put a great deal of effort into ensuring that Findcoder Services operate on a reliable basis and where applicable provide a secure environment for Merchant’s data. We use what we believe to be “best-of-class” infrastructure and hosting services and security technologies and services that we believe provide Merchant with a secure and safe environment. However, no system is perfectly secure or reliable, the Internet, hardware, power sources, and local servers and associated technology are inherently unreliable at times and can be an insecure medium, and the reliability of hosting services, internet intermediaries, Merchant’s internet service provider, servers, databases, access to or use of financial or business records, and other service providers cannot be assured or assumed. When Merchant uses Findcoder Services, Merchant acknowledges Merchant understands and accepts these risks, and Merchant accepts sole responsibility for choosing to use a technology that does not provide perfect security or reliability.

13) No Responsibility for Third-Party Material

Findcoder Services may contain links or references to third-party websites (“Third-Party Sites”) and third-party content (“Third-Party Content”) as a service to those interested in this information, including third party suppliers, payment processors and other payment intermediaries that Merchant may use in connection with Merchant’s use of Findcoder Services. Merchant uses links to Third-Party Sites and any Third-Party Content or service provided there, at Merchant’s own risk. Findcoder makes no claim or representation regarding Third-Party Content or Third-Party Sites, and provides them or links to them only as a convenience. Inclusion in Findcoder Services of a link to a Third-Party Site or Third-Party Content does not imply Findcoder’s endorsement, adoption or sponsorship of, or affiliation with, such Third-Party Site or Third-Party Content. Findcoder accepts no responsibility for reviewing changes or updates to, or the quality, content, policies, nature or reliability of, Third-Party Content, Third-Party Sites, or websites linking to Findcoder Services. When Merchant leaves Findcoder Services, our Terms and policies no longer govern. Merchant should review applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any Third-Party Site, and should make whatever investigation Merchant feels necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any third party. The provider of any third-party service is solely responsible for that third-party service, the content therein, any warranties to the extent that such warranties have not been disclaimed, any training, support or maintenance for the third-party services, and any claims that Merchant or any other party may have relating to that third-party services or Merchant’s use of that third-party service. Merchant acknowledges that: (i) Merchant is purchasing the license to each third-party service from the provider of that third-party service; (ii) Findcoder is not acting as agent for the provider in providing each such third-party services to Merchant; (iii) Findcoder is not a party to the license between Merchant and the provider with respect to that third-party services; and (iv) Findcoder is not responsible for that third-party services, the content therein, or any warranties or claims that Merchant or any other party may have relating to that third-party services or Merchant’s use of that third-party services. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that Findcoder is a third party beneficiary of the End User License Agreement for each third-party services, and that, upon Merchant’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of the license to any such third-party services, Findcoder will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce such license against Merchant as a third party beneficiary thereof.

14) Advertisements and Promotions

Findcoder may run advertisements and promotions of third parties on Findcoder Services. Merchant’s business dealings or correspondence with, or participation in promotions of, advertisers other than Findcoder, and any terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between Merchant and such third party. Findcoder is not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the presence of third-party advertisers on Findcoder Services.

15) Warranty Disclaimer

Findcoder Services and any third-party services are provided to Merchant on an “as is” basis without any warranties from Findcoder of any kind, either express or implied. Findcoder expressly disclaims all other warranties, express or implied, including without limitation implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. Findcoder does not represent or warrant that Findcoder Services are accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. Findcoder Services and access to data may be interrupted or unavailable at any time and Merchant accepts all risks associated with such unavailability or interruption. Merchant should establish other systems to ensure business continuity and to ensure the accuracy or reliability or any business, financial or accounting data generated by the use of Findcoder Services or otherwise stored or accessed through Findcoder Services. While Findcoder attempts to make Merchant’s access to and use of Findcoder Services safe, Findcoder does not represent or warrant that the Findcoder Content, the third-party services or Findcoder Services are free of viruses or other harmful components or will be available without interruption or error.

16) Limitation of Liability; Indemnity

Merchant waives and shall not assert any claims or allegations of any nature whatsoever against Findcoder, its sponsors, suppliers, contractors, advertisers, vendors or other partners, licensors, any of their successors or assigns, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents or employees (collectively, the “Released Parties”) arising out of or in any way relating to Merchant’s use of Findcoder Services or any third-party services, including, without limitation, any claims or allegations relating to infringement of proprietary rights, or allegations that any Released Party has or should indemnify, defend or hold harmless Merchant or any third party from any claim or allegation arising from Merchant’s use or other exploitation of any third-party services or Findcoder Services. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing, Findcoder has no liability whatsoever with respect to any Customer’s use of services provided by Merchant. Merchant is solely responsible and liable in all respects to the Customer with regards to fulfilling any reservations or waitlist requests with Merchant made through Findcoder Services, or any online orders placed with Merchant or any Merchant gift cards purchased through Gift Card Services, and Merchant shall indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Released Parties from any claim or allegation of a Customer arising from or relating to any such reservations or waitlist requests with Merchant, any such online orders placed with Merchant or such Merchant gift cards. In addition, Merchant is solely responsible for establishing policies and practices regarding payments (including prepayments) for reservations, waitlist requests and online orders or fees or costs incurred by Customers who fail to utilize a booked reservation or waitlist request. It shall be Merchant’s responsibility to prominently display and disclose any and all such policies and practices to the Customer. Merchant uses Findcoder Services completely at Merchant’s own risk. Merchant agrees that this is fair and reasonable.

Merchant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Findcoder and the other Released Parties from any loss, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses, claims and proceedings arising out of Merchant’s use of Findcoder Services or any third-party services and from the use Findcoder Services or any third-party services by any person to whom Merchant gives access to Merchant account (including as staff), including any claims made by any person that any of Merchant’s User Content infringes the rights, including the intellectual property rights, of any third party. Some jurisdictions limit the scope of limitations of liability in which event Findcoder claims the full scope of limitation of liability as may be allowed in any applicable jurisdiction.

17) Communications

Notices that we give Merchant (other than notice of amendment of the Terms, which is discussed in the introduction of the Terms) may be provided in any number of ways, depending on the circumstances. For example, we may email Merchant or telephone Merchant at the contact information Merchant provided at time Merchant entered into the Findcoder Services Agreement (as same may have been updated by Merchant from time to time). Or we may post a notice to Users in the dashboard area of Merchant’s account on the Site, or post the notice elsewhere on the Site. When we post notices on the Site, we post them in the area of the Site suitable to the notice. It is Merchant’s responsibility to periodically review the Site for notices. Merchant agrees to keep all Registration Data current and up to date. Subject to the Privacy Notice, if Merchant sends Findcoder or posts on Social Media Areas any information, ideas, inventions, concepts, techniques or know-how (“User Submissions”), for any purpose, including the developing, manufacturing and/or marketing or products or services incorporating such information, Merchant acknowledges that Findcoder can use without limitation the User Submissions without acknowledgment or compensation to Merchant, and Merchant waives any claim of ownership or compensation or other rights Merchant may have in relation to the User Submissions. We actively review User Submissions for new ideas. If Merchant wishes to preserve any interest Merchant might have in Merchant User Submissions, Merchant should not post them or send them to us.

18) Applicable Law and Venue

Merchant and Findcoder both benefit from establishing a predictable legal environment in regard to Findcoder Services. Therefore, Merchant and Findcoder explicitly agree that all disputes, claims or other matters arising from or relating to Merchant’s use of Findcoder Services or any third-party services shall be exclusively governed by the federal laws of the United Kingdom applicable therein. The parties hereto waive any right to trial by jury in respect of any dispute arising from or related to the Findcoder Services Agreement. Except where prohibited by applicable law, any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract or tort, pursuant to statute or regulation, or otherwise, and whether preexisting, present or future) involving Findcoder and arising out of or relating to (a) the Terms; (b) Findcoder Services or any associated third-party services; (c) oral or written statements, advertisements or promotions relating to Findcoder Services or any associated third-party services; or (d) the relationships that result from Findcoder Services or any associated third-party services (collectively, a “Claim”), will be referred to and determined by individual arbitration by a single arbitrator (to the exclusion of the courts) in accordance with the Arbitrations Act. Arbitration can be initiated by either party delivering to the other party a written notice of arbitration invoking this provision. The arbitrator’s authority is limited to claims between Merchant and us alone. Claims may not be joined or consolidated unless Merchant and we consent in writing. An arbitration award and any judgment confirming it will apply only to the specific case and cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding. Each party will bear its own expenses under such arbitration, subject to the authority of the arbitrator to make an award of legal costs in accordance with the arbitrator’s authority. Except where prohibited by applicable law, Merchant waives any right Merchant may have to commence or participate in any class action against Findcoder related to any Claim and, where applicable, Merchant also agrees to opt out of any class proceedings against Findcoder. Without limiting the foregoing, Merchant and Findcoder will not have the right to participate in a representative capacity or as a member of any class pertaining to any Claim or other matter related to the Findcoder Services Agreement. If Merchant has a Claim, Merchant should give written notice of arbitration by registered mail to Findcoder’s head office. If Findcoder has a Claim, it will give Merchant notice of arbitration at Merchant’s address provided in Merchant’s Registration Data. Arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator pursuant to the commercial arbitration laws and rules under Arbitrations Act in effect on the date of the notice in the United Kingdom. To the extent arbitration as described above is prohibited by applicable law, Merchant agrees that all Claims shall be heard and resolved in a court of competent subject matter jurisdiction located in United Kingdom. Merchant consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts over Merchant, stipulates to the fairness and convenience of proceeding in such courts and submits to their exclusive jurisdiction, and covenants not to assert any objection to proceeding in such courts.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Findcoder shall be entitled, at its election, to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) for interim or permanent injunctive relief, a mandatory order, restraining order, or other like relief to restrain an actual or threatened breach of the Findcoder Services Agreement and Findcoder’s rights under it by any party and specifically but not limited to protection of the intellectual property, information technology, brand, trademarks, and other proprietary material of Findcoder or its suppliers or licensors; and (ii) to collect any outstanding amounts that Merchant owes to Findcoder. With respect to Merchant’s use of Findcoder Services Merchant, Merchant is responsible for compliance with all local laws applicable to Merchant and Merchant’s use of Findcoder Services and Merchant agrees to indemnify Findcoder and the other Released Parties for Merchant’s failure to comply with any such laws.

19) Term and Termination/Modification of License and Site Offerings

The term of the Findcoder Services Agreement shall commence on the Quote Created Date and shall continue for such number of months following the Effective Date as is specified in the Sales Quote beside the heading “Initial Term” (the “Initial Term”). Upon expiration of the Initial Term and unless otherwise stated in the Sales Quote, the term of the Findcoder Services Agreement will automatically renew for a period equivalent to the period of the Initial Term unless terminated by Merchant or Findcoder by delivery of written notice to the other party at least (180) days prior to the end of the then current term. Unless otherwise provided, Findcoder Services and access to Content are purchased as subscriptions.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Merchant may not terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the then current term. Notwithstanding any provision of the Terms, Findcoder reserves the right, without notice and in its sole discretion, without any liability to Merchant to (a) terminate Merchant’s license to use Findcoder Services, or any portion thereof (including any use of any third-party services) and the rights of any third party authorized by Merchant to access Merchant’s Findcoder account and User Content through Findcoder Services; (b) block or prevent Merchant’s future access to and use of all or any portion of Findcoder Services or Content (including any use of any third-party services) and the rights of any third party to which Merchant has granted access to Merchant’s Findcoder account and User Content through the Findcoder Services; (c) change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of Findcoder Services or Content; and (d) impose limits on Findcoder Services or Content. Merchant’s sole remedy in such circumstances shall be limited to and not exceed the return of the pro rata amount of any pre-paid fees applicable to the balance of the term of any then current subscription period. 

When Merchant’s Findcoder account is terminated, Merchant’s User Content will, shortly thereafter, cease to appear on Findcoder Services, except for User Content submitted to Social Media Areas, which may remain on the Social Media Areas after termination. Findcoder may also retain an archival copy of Merchant’s User Content after termination, and Merchant hereby grants us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable license to maintain such archival copy for our internal business purposes. If the Findcoder Services Agreement expires or terminates for any reason, Sections 4, 10-20, any representation or warranty Merchant makes in the Terms, and any other term of the Terms that by its nature is ongoing, shall survive indefinitely.

20) Default

In the event that Merchant defaults under any obligations owed to Findcoder under the Merchant’s Findcoder Services Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies which have in law or in equity, Findcoder may terminate the Merchant’s Findcoder Services Agreement, in which event, (i) if Merchant was provided with an Incentive (as disclosed in the Merchant’s Sales Quote), Merchant shall be liable to repay, and shall forthwith repay to Findcoder, the entire amount of the Incentive; and (ii) Merchant shall be liable to pay, and shall forthwith pay to Findcoder, the entire amount of any software license fees, hardware fees or payments and other amounts which would have been payable by Merchant to Findcoder during the balance of the then current term of the Merchant’s Findcoder Services Agreement, had the said agreement not been terminated.

In addition to the foregoing, in the event that Merchant defaults under any obligations owed to Findcoder under the Merchant’s Findcoder Services Agreement, it is expressly agreed that (a) if Merchant is a party to an HPP Agreement, throughout the term of the HPP Agreement, Findcoder shall maintain the right to remotely disable any AIO Screens which form part of the subject matter of the HPP Agreement; and (b) if the default occurs during the Initial Term and the Merchant was provided an Incentive for hardware (as disclosed in the Merchant’s Sales Quote), Findcoder shall maintain the right to remotely disable any iPads which form part of the subject matter of the Merchant Services Agreement.

21) Miscellaneous

If any provision of the Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from the Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Findcoder may assign any or all of its rights hereunder to any party without Merchant’s consent. Merchant is not permitted to assign any of Merchant’s rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Findcoder, and any such attempted assignment will be void and unenforceable. The Findcoder Services Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Merchant and Findcoder regarding Merchant’s use of Findcoder Services or any associated third-party services, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications whether electronic, oral or written between Merchant and Findcoder regarding Merchant’s use of them. Merchant has reviewed, understood and accepted the terms and conditions set forth in the Findcoder Services Agreement and has either consulted with legal counsel prior to its execution or has knowingly forgone its right to consult with legal counsel prior to such execution. The parties confirm that it is their wish that the Terms, as well as any other documents relating to these Terms, including notices, have been and shall be drawn up in the English language only.
