Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that it complies with any legal, regulatory or similar restrictions applicable to the types of data Customer elects to process with the Products. Customer remains responsible for properly handling and processing notices regarding Personal Data of Customer s clients and Users.
The Products grant Customer the ability to independently backup and archive Customer Data. Accordingly, Customer is responsible for performing regular backups of Customer Data. Nevertheless, Sauecommerce will regularly perform backups of Customer Data stored in the Products. Sauecommerce will assist Customer in recovering and restoring Customer Data to the Products to the extent commercially feasible. Customer understands and agrees that Sauecommerce is not responsible for any loss or corruption of Customer Data or other software.

Customer agrees that access and use of such Third-Party Services shall be governed solely by the terms and conditions of such Third-Party Services, and that Sauecommerce is not responsible or liable for, and makes no representations or warranties as to any aspect of such Third-Party Services, including, without limitation, their content or data practices (including with regards to Customer Data and Personal Data) or any interaction between Customer and the provider of such Third-Party Services, regardless of whether or not such Third-Party Services are provided by a third party that is a member of a Sauecommerce partner program or otherwise designated by Sauecommerce as certified , or approved by or integrated with Sauecommerce. Any use by Customer of Third-Party Services shall be solely between Customer and the applicable third-party provider.

7. Maintenance activities and product changes
It may be necessary for Sauecommerce to perform scheduled and/or unscheduled repairs or maintenance, or remotely patch or upgrade the Product. This may temporarily degrade the quality of the services or result in a partial or complete outage of the Product. Sauecommerce will endeavour to carry out such work during times that will cause the least disruption to Customer s business. Customer shall cooperate, if necessary, to perform such work.
Sauecommerce may add to, at any time and its full discretion, remove, change or discontinue the Products or any component or version of the Products at any time (the Product Changes ), which may require Customer to take certain actions including, but not limited to, installing certain patches, fixes or updates, upgrading to a new version of a Product and/or migrating to an alternative Product. Such Changes may be made for reasons including, but not limited to: (i) to comply with applicable law or regulation, (ii) for security reasons, (iii) due to changes imposed by a third party supplier, and/or (iv) due to the termination of our relationship with a third party supplier which is material for the provision of the Products.
8. Termination and Suspension
In the event of a material breach of this Agreement by either party, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement by giving the breaching party written notice specifying the nature of the breach in reasonable detail and the non-breaching party s intention to terminate (a Termination Notice ). If the breach has not been cured within the period ending thirty (30) days following delivery of the Termination Notice, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sauecommerce reserves the right, at any time and without notice, to terminate this Agreement if Customer violates the license restrictions under Section 2.3 of the Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sauecommerce may suspend Customer s access to the Products immediately without notice if Sauecommerce, in its sole discretion, believes: (i) such suspension is required by law; (ii) there is a security or privacy risk to Customer; (iii) Customer is infringing or violating the rights of third parties, or acting in a manner that is abusive, profane or offensive; (iv) Customer does not pay its Fees or any invoices in a timely manner; or (v) Customer is in breach of any material provision of this Agreement, including its license restrictions or confidentiality obligations. Any suspension of Customer s access to the Products will not limit or waive Sauecommerce s rights to terminate this Agreement or Customer s access to the Products.
Upon termination of this Agreement, Customer shall discontinue its use of the Product(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, termination of this Agreement by Sauecommerce shall not limit Customer s obligation to pay all of the applicable Fees, nor restrict Sauecommerce from pursuing any available remedies, including injunctive relief. Customer agrees that following termination of Customer s account and/or use of the Product, Sauecommerce may immediately deactivate Customer s account and delete Customer Data. Customer further agrees that Sauecommerce shall not be liable to Customer nor to any third party for any termination of Customer s access to the Product or deletion of Customer Data in accordance with this Agreement. Sections discussing license restrictions, Fees and payment, confidentiality, Customer representation, indemnification, and limitation of liability shall survive termination of this Agreement, along with any other provisions that are intended by their terms to survive.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, should the Agreement be terminated (a) by Customer prior to completion of the Current Term for any reason other than breach by Sauecommerce under Section ., or (b) by Sauecommerce for material breach by Customer under Section --- or ----, Customer will be charged an early termination fee calculated as the sum of: (i) any non-recurring Fees relating to the terminated Agreement(s) which have not been paid to Sauecommerce as of the effective date of termination; and
(ii) any recurring Fees under the Agreement that would have otherwise become due during the remainder of the Current Term; and (iii) the difference between the list price (as indicated on our website), and the discounted price (if any) on either software and/or Hardware that the Customer may have received during or pertaining to the Current Term (collectively, the Early Termination Fee ). The Customer (i) authorizes Sauecommerce to collect the Early Termination Fee, and any applicable taxes due on such fee, according to the same payment methods and/or accounts for collecting amounts under the Agreement, and (ii) acknowledges that the Early Termination Fee shall be immediately due and payable in full. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Early Termination Fee is a genuine and reasonable pre-estimate of the loss and damage suffered by Sauecommerce in the event that the Customer terminates prior to completion of the Current Term and not a penalty.
if Sauecommerce violates the terms of this Agreement in a significant way, you are entitled to early termination. This right also applies to Sauecommerce in the event you violate the terms of this Agreement.
Termination doesn t occur instantly you must first send us a Termination Notice giving us thirty (30) days to fix the breach. If the breach is legitimate and we fail to fix it, you are free to cancel this Agreement. You should also know that we may cancel this Agreement without sending you a Termination Notice for breaches to the specific sections listed to the left. In certain circumstances, we may be forced to suspend your access to the Products. For example, this would occur:
- if it was required by law
- if you are faced with a privacy or security risk
- if you infringe or violate the rights of third parties
- if you refuse to pay us
- If you breach any material obligations under this agreement.
If this agreement is cancelled, you agree to stop using the Products and to pay us any Fees that are still outstanding. Any instalments that have not yet matured will become due immediately upon termination. We might also deactivate your account and delete any of your data.
Customers who cancel their subscription prior to the end of the term, are charged with an early termination fee.
9. Indemnification
Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sauecommerce and its officers, employees, and agents from and against all losses, expenses, liabilities, damages and costs including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees (collectively Costs ), to the extent that such Costs are attributable to any breach by Customer or any User, independent contractor, or affiliate thereof, of any representations, warranties or other obligations set forth in this Agreement.
