Lincoln Loop is not liable or responsible for Third Party Services. Customer is responsible for configuring the Services to achieve its desired goals.

3. Consideration

  1. Fees. Customer will pay Lincoln Loop the then applicable fees described at https://apppack.io for each User that accesses the Services in a calendar month in accordance with the terms therein (the "Fees"), along with any applicable sales and use taxes. Customer shall be billed for actual usage by Users and Customer shall pay the additional fees in the manner provided herein. Lincoln Loop reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and Fees for any renewal term by providing at least sixty (60) days' notice to Customer prior to the beginning of such Renewal Term (which may be sent by email).

Customer shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Services other than taxes based on Lincoln Loop's net income.

4. Warranties; Disclaimers; Limitations on liability

  1. General Representations. Each party represents and warrants that: (a) as of the Effective Date and throughout the Term, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization; (b) that the execution and performance of the Agreement, or use of the Services, will not conflict with or violate any provision of any law having applicability to such party; and (c) that the Agreement, when executed and delivered, will constitute a valid and binding obligation of such party and will be enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms.
  2. Lincoln Loop Warranties. Lincoln Loop shall use reasonable efforts consistent with industry standards to maintain the Services in a manner which minimizes errors and interruptions in the Services. Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by Lincoln Loop or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond Lincoln Loop's reasonable control, but Lincoln Loop shall use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by e-mail of any scheduled service disruption. Lincoln Loop does not warrant that the Platform will be completely error-free or uninterrupted. If Customer notifies Lincoln Loop of a reproducible error in the Services that indicates a breach of the foregoing warranty (each, an "Error") within 30 days after Customer experiences such Error, Lincoln Loop shall, at its own expense and as its sole obligation and Customer's exclusive remedy use commercially reasonable efforts to correct or provide a workaround for such Error.
  3. Compliance with Laws and Policies. Customer will use the Services in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations; as well as any of Lincoln Loop's standard published policies, if any, in effect as of the date Customer and Lincoln Loop execute an Order Form and as may be amended by Lincoln Loop, in its sole discretion, from time to time. Although Lincoln Loop has no obligation to monitor Customer's use of Services, Lincoln Loop may do so and may prohibit any use of the Services it believes may be (or alleged to be) in violation of the foregoing. Lincoln Loop will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in the performance of this Agreement.
  4. Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE AGREEMENT, LINCOLN LOOP DOES NOT MAKE, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND REGARDING THE AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES, OR INTERFACE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT OR FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE IN TRADE. LINCOLN LOOP DOES NOT WARRANT, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS, THAT THE SERVICES OR INTERFACE WILL BE ACCURATE, WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, OR ERROR-FREE.
  5. Disclaimer of Indirect Damages. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF. IN NO EVENT WILL LINCOLN LOOP BE LIABLE FOR THE PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES.
  6. Limitations on Liability. EXCEPT FOR DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, OR OBLIGATIONS ARISING FROM SECTION 5 (INDEMNIFICATION), EACH PARTY'S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THE AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES RECEIVED BY LINCOLN LOOP UNDER THE APPLICABLE ORDER FORM DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE FIRST DATE ON WHICH THE LIABILITY AROSE.
  7. Exceptions. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN LIABILITY, IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS THE LIABILITY OF LINCOLN LOOP WILL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 4 WILL APPLY WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN BREACHED, ANY LIMITED REMEDY HEREIN IS HELD TO FAIL OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR THE FORM OF THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, STATUTE, TORT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEGLIGENCE).
