By registering as a Template Provider or using the Services, Template Provider acknowledges and agrees that it has read, accepts, and agrees to be bound by and comply with this Agreement, as amended from time to time in accordance with Section 12.11 . If Template Provider does not accept and agree to be bound by this Agreement, or is not capable of agreeing to the terms of this Agreement, Template Provider will immediately cease any use of the Services.

As a condition of entering into this Agreement, Template Provider represents and warrants that: (a) it has the capacity to enter into this Agreement; (b) it will comply with this Agreement; (c) it has all ownership and intellectual property rights in the Original Templates; and (d) all information supplied by Template Provider to Provision is true, accurate, current and complete.

In this Agreement, 'Template Provider' includes the Ultimate Recipient. In the event Template Provider is subcontracting the development of any Original Templates, Template Provider will be responsible for ensuring that the Original Templates, the Digital Templates, and the relevant subcontractor comply with this Agreement.

The Services may not be accessed for purposes of monitoring their availability, performance or functionality, or for any other benchmarking or competitive purposes. Provision's direct competitors are prohibited from accessing the Services, except with Provision's prior written consent.

  3. PRIVACY POLICY; DISCLAIMER; SUSPENSION OF ACCESS

    • Privacy. Template Provider represents and warrants that the Original Templates will not contain any personally identifiable data. Provision's collection, use, storage, process, disclosure and deletion of information about an identifiable individual provided by Template Provider under this Agreement is governed by applicable privacy and data protection laws.

    • Disclaimers.

      1. As between Provision and Template Provider, Template Provider is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, and appropriateness of all Original Templates and the final form of all Digital Templates. Template Provider will ensure that the final format of all Digital Templates meets Template Provider's specifications and requirements at all times.

      2. Template Provider understands that the technical processing and transmission of Original Templates and the Digital Templates is fundamentally necessary to use the Services. Therefore, Template Provider expressly consents to Provision's storage of Original Templates, which will involve transmission over the Internet, and over various networks, only part of which may be owned and/or operated by Provision.

      3. Template Provider will employ all physical, administrative, and technical controls, screening, and security procedures and other safeguards necessary to: (a) securely administer the distribution and use of all credentials and protect against any unauthorized access to, or use of, the Services; and (b) control the content and use of Original Templates, including the uploading of the Original Templates for processing by the Services.

      4. The Services do not replace the need for Template Provider to maintain regular data backups or redundant data archives. Provision has no obligation or liability for any loss, alteration, destruction, damage, corruption, or recovery of Original Templates or Digital Templates resulting from Template Provider's failure to comply with its obligations under this Section or otherwise in this Agreement.

    • Suspension of Access. In addition to any other suspension or termination rights of Provision pursuant to this Agreement, certain extraordinary circumstances may require Provision to suspend or terminate (where appropriate), as determined in Provision's discretion, Template Provider's access to and/or use of, or otherwise modify, the Services and/or any component thereof, without notice in order to: (a) prevent damages to, or degradation of the integrity of, Provision's network; (b) comply with any law, regulation, court order, or other governmental request or order; or (c) otherwise protect Provision from potential legal liability or harm to its reputation or business. Provision will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Template Provider of the reason(s) for such suspension or termination action as soon as reasonably practicable. In the event of a suspension, Provision will promptly restore Template Provider's access to the Services as soon as the event giving rise to the suspension has been resolved as determined in Provision's discretion. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed to limit Provision's actions or remedies or act as a waiver of Provision's rights in any way with respect to any of the foregoing activities. Provision will not be responsible for any loss or damages incurred by Template Provider as a result of any termination or suspension of access to or use of the Services under this Section.

  4. TEMPLATE PROVIDER RESPONSIBILITIES

    • Limitations. Template Provider will not and will not permit any other person to: (a) modify, adapt, alter or translate the Provision Platform or the Compliance Store; (b) sublicense, lease, rent, loan, distribute, or otherwise transfer any rights Template Provider has under this Agreement to any other person; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise derive or determine or attempt to derive or determine the source code (or algorithms, structure or organization) of any software underlying the Services; (d) use or copy the any software underlying the Services except as expressly allowed hereunder. Without limiting any other section of this Agreement, Template Provider is responsible for identifying and authenticating any users it permits to access and use the Services, and for such users' compliance with this Agreement.

  5. FEES AND PAYMENT

    • Set Up Fees. Template Provider will pay to Provision the Set-Up Fee identified on the Registration Form within 30 days of the Effective Date.

    • Customer Fees. Provision will make the Digital Templates available to Customers on the Compliance Store pursuant to a separate agreement between Provision and the Customer (the "Customer Agreement") whereby the Customer pays an agreed-upon fee (the "Customer Fee") for access to the Template Provider's Digital Template through the Compliance Store. For the purpose of clarity, Template Provider acknowledges and agrees that it is not a party to the Customer Agreement and that Customer may terminate its subscription to the Digital Template in accordance with the terms of the Customer Agreement, which may include the payment of a cancellation fee from the Customer (the "Cancellation Fee"). In the event Customer pays the Cancellation Fee to Provision and Template Provider is in good standing with this Agreement, Provision will include the Cancellation Fee as a component of the Customer Fee. Provision reserves the right to reject any prospective customer at its discretion, and may suspend or terminate access to the Compliance Store or the Digital Template to any Customer at any time in accordance with the applicable Customer Agreement.

    • Changes to the Customer Fees. While Provision will make reasonable efforts to provide the Digital Templates to Customers at the Customer Fee agreed-to between the Parties on the Registration Form, Provision may, in its sole discretion: (a) provide free or discounted access of up to 30% to the Digital Templates for Customers on a time-limited basis; and (b) modify or change the Customer Fee. In the event Template Provider wishes to update the Customer Fee, Template Provider will provide written notice to Provision of such requested update and the Parties agree to enter into good faith negotiations. Any updates to the Customer Fee will need to be mutually agreed upon in writing, and will not change for any existing Customer.

    • Revenue Share. On a quarterly basis during the Term, Provision will pay Template Provider 70% of the Customer Fees received from Customers for the Digital Templates during the applicable quarter, less (a) discounts or promotional rates offered to the Customer; (b) any fees or costs incurred for marketing and promotion of the Digital Templates; (c) currency conversion or foreign exchange fees; (d) costs incurred to make the payment; and (e) any taxes or government fees (the "Revenue Share").

    • Invoices and Reports. Provision will issue Template Provider reports for all Digital Templates sold to Customers during the Term, and the Revenue Share payable to Template Provider. Upon request by Provision, Template Provider will issue an invoice to Provision for the Revenue Share.

    • Disputes. If Template Provider believes there in an error in the Revenue Share, Template Provider must contact Provision no later than 15 days from having received the Revenue Share payment in which the error appeared in order to dispute any amounts paid by Provision. Upon request, Provision will provide Template Provider with additional documentation and information that Provision reasonably considers to be required for Template Provider to verify the Revenue Share paid to Template Provider. In the event of a dispute, Provision is under no obligation to pay disputed amounts while a dispute is pending resolution.

    • Suspension of Revenue Share. Provision may suspend the accrual and payment of the Revenue Share in the event: (a) that Provision determines, at its sole discretion, that the Original Templates or the Digital Templates are inaccurate or out of date; or (b) Template Provider has not paid any outstanding fees to Provision. In the event a Customer terminates or suspends their subscription to the Digital Templates as a result of the Template being out of date or Provision's suspension of the Digital Templates, Template Provider agrees that it will not be entitled to any payment of the Cancellation Fee.

    • Payment of the Revenue Share. Revenue Share is only calculated when Provision receives full payment of the Customer Fees from the Customer. Provision will make all Revenue Share payments via electronic transfer in the currency indicated on the Registration Form. Template Provider is responsible for ensuring that Provision has accurate and up to date electronic transfer information.

    • Taxes. The Parties acknowledge that the Revenue Share (and any part thereof) paid or payable by Provision to Template Provider are exclusive of all applicable goods and services tax, harmonized sales tax, or other sales or value-added taxes.
