Subscriber is aware that the successful and timely performance of Subscriber’s obligations under the provisions of this Agreement is a requirement for Casolve to complete the implementation process. If the Subscriber requests or needs on-site installation services, Casolve may charge the Subscriber for any incidental travel-related costs, as agreed to and detailed in a Quote/Invoice/Sales Order/Casolve’s Billing page.

• Subscriber is aware of the following: (I) Casolve will be released from its obligations to implement the Casolve Services within any specified time frame if Subscriber fails to make good faith efforts to do so; (ii) Casolve expects and relies on Subscriber’s good faith efforts, including timely and responsive communication surrounding the implementation efforts.

1. Third-party hardware or software Each Authorized User will require a personal computer, tablet, or other computing devices with an Internet connection that complies with any written standards from Casolve, as may be described in the Documentation, in order to use the Casolve Service, the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees. Additionally, for the Subscriber to access, use, or fully benefit from the Casolve Service, specific third-party software that is not integrated into the Casolve Service may need to be installed on a such computer or other devices (each such device when properly installed with the required third-party software to access the Casolve Service, herein referred to as an “Authorized Device”) (including a compatible third party web browser). For the usage of the Subscriber’s Authorized Users, Subscriber shall be solely responsible for procuring Authorized Devices at Subscriber’s own expense. The terms and conditions of any end-user licensing agreement included with the third-party software that the subscriber has independently obtained must be followed. A few open-source software components may also be a part of Casolve Services; each of these components has its own copyright notice and license, which are both contained in the relevant license file and documentation. The obligation to abide by such third-party terms and conditions is on the subscriber. Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber’s access to and use of the Casolve Service does not carry, and Subscriber does not receive under this Agreement any license, covenant not to sue, or other rights under any third party intellectual property rights or other rights.
2. By using the Casolve Services, the Subscriber agrees to take precautions to ensure that no code, files, or programs are used that could disrupt, damage, or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware, or telecommunications equipment. This includes, but is not limited to, avoiding the introduction of viruses or other harmful code into the software used by Casolve Services or by hosted systems or servers. Casolve disclaims all liability for any loss or damage to a subscriber’s data or other property or materials. The Subscriber is completely responsible for safeguarding and backing up the Subscriber’s Data as well as any other subscriber-owned materials and property.
3. Casolve advises using the Google Chrome web browser (“Browser”) to access Casolve and making sure that all Browser updates are applied. Although it is not advised, if a user chooses to access the Casolve Services using a different web browser, they must make sure it supports HTTP/2 and TLS 1.2 or 1.3.
4. Data Migration
5. Data Migration

1. Migration of data. Depending on what is stated in the relevant Quote/Invoice/Sales Order/Casolve’s Billing page, Casolve may offer data migrating services. To facilitate communication and make decisions throughout the data transfer operations, the Subscriber must give Casolve the names and contact details of the Subscriber’s Casolve Administrator(s). The Subscriber understands and accepts that the timely and efficient fulfillment of the Subscriber’s obligations under the provisions of this Agreement is fully necessary for Casolve to finish the data transfer process.
2. The importing of data and/or documents (as specified in a Quote/Invoice/Sales Order/Casolve’s Billing page) into the subscriber’s Casolve organization is included in data migration services. In accordance with the schedule and instructions provided by the Subscriber’s Implementation team, the Subscriber must upload a copy of the Data and/or documents they have contracted for migration to Casolve’s designated service location. The extraction of any Data from the prior provider of the Subscriber is not Casolve’s responsibility (s). Any Data that cannot be retrieved from the Subscriber’s prior provider(s) or any delays brought on by the Subscriber’s failure to extract Data and/or documents within the specified timetable are not the responsibility of Casolve. Any additional charges imposed by the Subscriber’s prior provider(s) for additional Data and/or documents are not the responsibility of Casolve. Prior to the migration of information into production, the subscriber will be asked to approve the data mapping and document alignment. Casolve is not liable for any data or documents that are not migrated as a result of incomplete or inaccurate data mapping or incomplete or inaccurate document alignment. The number of legacy servers or systems that the subscriber plans to migrate from is indicated by the quantity associated with data or document migration as stated on the Quote/Invoice/Sales Order/Casolve’s Billing page. The copy of such Data will be used by Casolve to carry out test migrations. Subscriber accepts that Casolve and Subscriber both share responsibility for the migration procedure. In order to make sure that the Data is being imported and mapped correctly, subscriber feedback is required at each test or draft migration.
3. Any changes made to the migration itself after it has been given the go-ahead for the final migration will be regarded as additional work, perhaps requiring more time and money. If the Subscriber wants the most recent data available, after a test migration that the Subscriber has accepted, an updated copy of the Data must be performed.
4. Following the final migration, Casolve promises to retain the subscriber’s copy of uploaded data files for 90 days. The copy of uploaded data files will be planned for hard deletion from the Casolve systems after ninety (90) days. In the event that the deleted copy of the uploaded data files has to be recovered, the subscriber is responsible for sending Casolve a fresh copy of the files in a readable format.
5. Subscriber represents and warrants that it will engage in good faith best efforts to migrate the Data Subscriber wishes to upload to the Casolve Service to Casolve’s designated platform.
6. Subscriber is aware of the following: (I) Casolve will be released from its obligations to complete the data migration within any given time period if Subscriber fails to make good faith efforts to migrate the Data; (ii) Casolve expects and relies on Subscriber’s good faith efforts, including timely and responsive communication surrounding the data migration efforts; and (iii) Casolve cannot complete a successful and timely data migration in the absence of Subscriber.

2. Data. The subscriber is aware that it is exclusively responsible for obtaining data from the prior provider and delivering it to Casolve in a suitable, commercial format that is common in the business. Subscriber additionally comprehends that any Data sent to Casolve in an acceptable, commercial format that is commonly used in the sector is exclusively its responsibility for the correctness, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, appropriateness, and ownership. If the Subscriber fails to deliver data in an acceptable, commercially viable format, Casolve may charge extra costs to convert the data to the appropriate format and/or take other measures to permit the use of the Data on the Subscriber’s behalf. Up to three test or draft migrations and one final migration are included in data migration expenses. After the live transfer, there may be additional costs for any additional testing and/or modifications.

3. In order to provide the Casolve Services to the Subscriber and any data migration services described here, the Subscriber hereby grants to Casolve a royalty-free, irrevocable license to use any pre-existing materials the Subscriber has provided to Casolve under this Agreement or under any Quote/Invoice/Sales Order/Casolve’s Billing page.

4. Auditing rights. In order to prove compliance with this Agreement, the Subscriber undertakes to maintain records that are adequate to show how many Authorized Users have access to the Casolve Service. Upon giving the subscriber fair written notice in advance, Casolve may audit the subscriber’s use of the Casolve Service. In addition to any other remedies, Casolve may have, Subscriber, shall cure such breach within thirty (30) days of written notice from Casolve by paying all applicable subscription fees that were due and payable by Subscriber at the time Subscriber exceeded the scope of Subscriber’s permitted use of the Casolve Service, or if an audit reveals that Subscriber has failed to pay any associated subscription fees for such use. If any such audit reveals that Subscriber has knowingly violated any material term of this agreement or that Subscriber has underpaid Casolve by a sum greater than five percent (5%) of the amounts due Casolve in the period being audited, then Subscriber shall also pay or reimburse Casolve for the audit’s costs.

5. Privacy. Subscriber’s access to the Casolve Service may require Subscriber’s Authorized Users to provide certain personal information about Subscriber or Subscriber’s Authorized Users (hereinafter referred to as “Personal Data”).

Without limiting the foregoing, such Personal Data may include Subscriber’s Authorized Users’ Login Credentials (as defined below), name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, organization name, employment title, and/or certain technical information about the system hardware and software that is being used by Subscriber’s Authorized Users. Casolve will collect, use, and in certain limited circumstances disclose the Subscriber’s Personal Data (e.g. to contractors and service providers who are assisting Casolve in the operation or hosting of the Casolve Service) in accordance with our Privacy Policy. As a condition to uploading any Personal Data to the Casolve Service and/or otherwise accessing and using the Casolve Service, the Subscriber is required to accept the terms of our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber has read our current Privacy Policy which is available at www.Casolve.com/privacy-policy. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Casolve processes such information, including Personal Data, in its capacity as the data processor and that Subscriber remains at all times the data controller of such processing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in Subscriber’s capacity as data controller, it is Subscriber’s exclusive responsibility to obtain all necessary consents to such processing, to convey the information notices as required by applicable law, to make any necessary filings with the appropriate data protection authority(ies), to enforce and comply with any request to access and/or rectify and/or delete any Personal Data of Subscriber’s Authorized Users. Subscriber agrees to indemnify and defend Casolve against any suits, actions, claims, or proceedings, whether originating from Subscriber’s Authorized Users, a data protection authority, and/or a third party in this respect.

6. Protection of Subscriber’s Data. Casolve will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for the protection of the security, confidentiality, and integrity of the Subscriber’s Data (including the Subscriber’s Personal Data). Casolve will not (a) disclose Subscriber’s Data except in accordance with our Privacy Policy or as otherwise expressly permitted in writing by Subscriber, or (b) access Subscriber’s Data except to provide the Casolve Service and prevent or address service or technical problems, or at Subscriber’s request in connection with customer support matters. Although Casolve uses reasonable efforts to safeguard the security of such information, transmissions made on or through the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be secure.

7. Features for server communication. In order to provide the Subscriber with features that prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Casolve Service, the Subscriber understands and accepts that the Casolve Service may incorporate server access limits, security measures, and other technologies. Subscriber acknowledges that they won’t try to undermine or alter any security measures included in the Casolve Service, nor will they encourage or help anyone else do so.

8. Credentials for login. If the required functionality is made available as part of the Casolve Service, the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Subscriber shall require each Authorized User to establish a user account, including a username and password, or other login credentials (collectively, “Login Credentials”) in order to access and use the Casolve Service.

4. Uploaded Data Files Backup. Casolve shall not be obligated to store any Uploaded Data Files for more than sixty (60) days following the expiration or termination of this Agreement by either party.

8. Confidentiality

Neither party shall, during the term of this Agreement, (I) disclose any Confidential Information to any unaffiliated third party; provided, however, that Casolve may disclose any Data that is Confidential Information in accordance with its Privacy Policy; or (ii) use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than that specified in this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party agrees to keep the Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party confidential and to protect it with the same level of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information (but in no case less than a reasonable degree of care). The Receiving Party also agrees to notify the Disclosing Party promptly of any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information and to support the Receiving Party in remedying any such unauthorized disclosure. The Receiving Party acknowledges that it is the Receiving Party’s responsibility to ensure that everyone who has access to the Confidential Information under this Agreement complies with its terms. Nothing in this agreement should be interpreted as preventing the parties from disclosing confidential information when required to do so by law, a court order, or another governmental order or request, provided that in each case the party being asked to do so promptly notifies the other party and makes every effort to keep the disclosure to a minimum and preserve the confidentiality of the information to the greatest extent possible. In addition, the party compelled to make the disclosure must allow the opposing party to use reasonable legal tools to try and restrict it.

Without first getting the third party’s written authorization, neither party will divulge any sensitive information to the other.

Except as specifically provided for in this Agreement, any Confidential Information given hereunder shall remain the exclusive property of the Disclosing Party and the Receiving Party shall have no interest in or rights therein.

Casolve reserves the right to disclose Subscriber’s Confidential Information to such third party in connection with their performance of services on Casolve’s behalf. Examples of services that Casolve may contract with third parties to perform include but are not limited to marketing assistance, email delivery, hosting, backup and recovery services, customer service, and data analysis. Any third parties hired by Casolve as service providers must uphold the confidentiality of any information given to them, and they are not allowed to use such information for any other reason than to provide services for Casolve.

The parties acknowledge that the use or disclosure of Confidential Information without authorization would constitute a material breach of this Agreement, could result in irreparable harm to the party who disclosed it, and would entitle the party who disclosed it to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent such use or disclosure without the need to post a bond.

Except for any Confidential Information that is a trade secret as defined by applicable law, the receiving party will continue to be bound by its obligations for as long as such information remains eligible for trade secret protection under applicable law, but in no event for a period of less than the seven (7) years. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of seven (7) years.
