4. Customer Cooperation. Customer is responsible for selecting Authorized Users and represents and
warrants it shall select Authorized Users who are qualified to operate the Cloud Service and are familiar
with the information, calculations, and reports that serve as input and output. Any data entry errors
are the responsibility of Customer and Springbrook does not assume the cost of any necessary servicing,
repair or correction arising from such errors. Customer acknowledges that successful installation,
implementation and use of the Springbrook Services cannot be accomplished by Springbrook’s efforts
along and requires substantial effort and cooperation by Customer. Both Springbrook and Customer
shall at all times use their best efforts to actively participate and cooperate in data conversion, system
installation, implementation, training and use, shall provide each other accurate and timely
information, and shall afford each other reasonable access to information and facilities. All substantive
communication between Springbrook and Customer will take place between Springbrook and a project
manager designated by Customer.
5. Third Party Services. Customer may choose to obtain products and services that are provided or
supported by third parties (“Third‐Party Services”) for use in conjunction with the Springbrook Services
either directly from the third party providing the Third Party Services or indirectly through Springbrook
where Springbrook acts as a reseller of the Third Party Services. Third Party Services may require
Customer to enter into a license or other agreement with such third party for use of the Third‐Party
Services. Customer is solely responsible for obtaining any such license or other agreement for the Third‐
‐Party Services. CUSTOMER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIRD‐PARTY SERVICES
ARE PROVIDED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE APPLICABLE THIRD‐PARTY LICENSE OR SEPARATE
AGREEMENT (IF ANY) BETWEEN THE PROVIDER OF THE THIRD‐PARTY SERVICES AND CUSTOMER,
CUSTOMER MAY SEEK REDRESS FOR USE OF THE THIRD‐PARTY SERVICES SOLELY FROM THE THIRD
PARTY PROVIDING THE THIRD‐PARTY SERVICES, AND SPRINGBROOK ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR,
AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION WITH RESPECT TO, ANY THIRD‐PARTY
SERVICE.
6. Maintenance and Support Terms.
(a) Support. Maintenance and Support Services, as described in Exhibit A, are included in the Cloud
Service Subscription for no additional fees, except as provided otherwise in Exhibit A.
(b) Partner Support. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Customer receives
Maintenance and Support Services from an authorized Channel Partner, then the terms for such
services agreed upon by Customer and such Channel Partner shall govern in lieu of those set forth
in the Exhibit A attached hereto, and Springbrook shall have no support obligations to Customer.
7. Ordering Process.
(a) Order Forms. Customer may purchase the Springbrook Services (Cloud Service Subscriptions, Cloud
Software licenses or Professional Services) by executing and submitting an Order Form. Execution
of an Order Form referencing these Terms and Conditions makes them binding upon Customer, as does
any access or use of the Springbrook Services. Upon execution of an Order Form by both Parties and
subject to Customer’s payment of the corresponding Fees, Springbrook will make the Cloud Service
or Cloud Software, as applicable, available to Customer. Any terms and conditions contained in any
August 2023. Cloud Service Master Agreement Terms and
Conditions
Page 7
quote, invoice, or purchase order that are inconsistent with or are in addition to the terms and
conditions of the Agreement will be deemed stricken, unless expressly agreed to in writing by
Springbrook with explicit reference to the accepted terms and conditions. Upon acceptance of an
Order Form, it will become part of the Agreement and will supersede any conflicting terms herein.
(b) No Requirement for Purchase Order. Customer acknowledges that a purchase order is not required
and is for administrative convenience only, and that Springbrook has the right to issue an invoice and
collect payment without a corresponding purchase order, provided, however, that if a Customer’s
procurement procedure requires the issuance of a purchase order or a purchase order number on a
pertinent Order Form or Statement of Work, the purchase order is required to be provided to
Springbrook. If the Customer issues a purchase order, then it shall be for the full amount set forth in
the applicable Order Form or Statement of Work.
8. Payment Terms.
(a) Pricing. Customer will be invoiced for those amounts and at those prices set forth in an Order Form.
Fees do not include any customization of the Cloud Software or Cloud Service (nor support for any
such customizations, unless otherwise agreed in writing). If Customer’s usage of the Cloud Software
or Cloud Service is in excess of those amounts set forth in the Order Form, Customer may be billed
for those overages. Customer acknowledges that purchases under the Agreement are neither
contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features nor dependent on any oral or
written public comments made by Springbrook regarding future functionality or features of the
Springbrook Services. Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order Form, (i) fees are based
on the specified Springbrook Services purchased, (ii) payment obligations are noncancelable and
fees paid are non‐refundable, except for amounts paid in error that are not actually due under the
Agreement or as otherwise expressly provided herein, and (iii) quantities purchased cannot be
decreased during the relevant Subscription Period.
(b) Payments. Springbrook will invoice Customer in advance for the Cloud Service. Customer shall pay
Invoices within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. If Customer orders additional Subscription
quantities or services part‐way through an existing Subscription Period the initial Subscription Period
for the additional quantity or services will be made coterminous with the existing Subscription Period
and the Cloud Service Fee for such additional quantity will be prorated accordingly. Fees for Optional
Cloud Service will be due at the same time as payment for the corresponding Cloud Service, or (if
applicable) as otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form or governing terms. Customer is
responsible for keeping Springbrook accurately and fully informed of Customer’s billing and contact
information, including providing any purchase order numbers in advance of invoice issuance.
Springbrook shall have no responsibility for any invoices that are not received due to inaccurate or
missing information provided by Customer. Customer shall pay interest on all payments not received
by the invoice due date set forth above at a rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month or the
maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is lower. All amounts due under this Agreement shall
be paid by Customer in full without any set‐off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding. Subscription
Fees will be subject to an automatic annual increase of seven percent (7%) over the prior year’s Fees
("Standard Annual Price Increase"). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Customer
makes its payments pursuant to this Agreement to a Channel Partner, then the payment terms
agreed by Customer and such Channel Partner shall govern to the extent anything in this Section 8
conflicts with such payment terms.

Conditions

(c) Taxes. Fees for Springbrook Services do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental
assessments of any nature, including but not limited to value‐added, sales, use or withholding taxes,
assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, "Taxes").
Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes. If Springbrook has the legal obligation to pay or collect
Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this paragraph, the appropriate amount will be
invoiced to and paid by Customer, unless Customer provides Springbrook with a valid tax exemption
certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority prior to invoice issuance. For clarity,
Springbrook is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on Springbrook’s income,
property and employees.
(d) Suspension of Service. If any amount owing by the Customer for the Cloud Service is ninety (90) or
more days delinquent, Springbrook may, in its sole discretion and cumulative to its other remedies
under this Section, temporarily cease providing to Customer the Cloud Service.
9. Ownership.
(a) Ownership of Springbrook Services. As between Springbrook and Customer all right, title and interest
to the Cloud Software, the Cloud Service, all technology underlying the foregoing, the
Documentation, any improvements, design contributions, updates, or derivative works thereto,
any knowledge or processes related thereto and/or provided hereunder, and all associated
Intellectual Property Rights, belong solely to Springbrook, and is protected under the laws of the
United States and the individual states and by international treaty provisions. Springbrook reserves
all rights not granted herein.
(b) Limited Rights. Customer shall only receive those rights in the Springbrook Services that are
expressly granted to it hereunder. Customer acknowledges that the rights granted under this
Agreement, as they pertain to Maintenance and Support and to the Cloud Software and Cloud
Service, do not provide Customer with title to or ownership of the Cloud Software or Cloud Service.
10. Feedback. Customer grants Springbrook a royalty‐free, fully‐paid, worldwide, transferable, sub‐
licensable, irrevocable, perpetual license to use or incorporate into the Springbrook Services (or
Springbrook’s other software or services) any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations,
or other feedback provided by Customer or Authorized Users relating to the operation or features of the
Springbrook Services.
11. Security.
(a) Customer Responsibilities. Cloud Software or data generated by the Cloud Service and stored in an
electronic or paper format, is the sole responsibility of the Customer and its related entities and
affiliates. Springbrook or its assignees shall not be held responsible for the theft, misappropriation,
loss, or misuse of personal or entity related financial information, utility billing records, or any
other financial information stored in Customer controlled electronic media or physical storage
locations. Customer acknowledges that Customer is solely responsible for the Customer’s security
procedures, including but not limited to password security, encryption of sensitive information,
proper handling of payroll

Conditions

ACH files, physical custody of cash, internal audit procedures and processes, annual reporting, and
proper training in security and backup procedures. In addition, the Customer and its related entities
and affiliates agree to indemnify and hold harmless Springbrook or its assignees from all costs,
damages, expense and attorney’s fees incurred in the event of any security breach, theft,
misappropriation, loss, misuse of personal or entity related financial information, or other related
incident.
(b) Security Breaches. Customer acknowledges that, notwithstanding security features of the Cloud
Service, no product, hardware, software or service can provide a completely secure mechanism of
electronic transmission or communication and that there are persons and entities, including
enterprises, governments and quasi‐governmental actors, as well as technologies, that may
attempt to breach any electronic security measure. Subject only to its limited warranty obligations
set forth in Section 14, Springbrook will have no liability for any security breach caused by any such
persons, entities, or technologies. Customer further acknowledges that the Cloud Service is not
guaranteed to operate without interruptions, failures, or errors. If Customer or Authorized Users
use the Cloud Service in any application or environment where failure could cause personal injury,
loss of life, or other substantial harm, Customer assumes any associated risks and will indemnify
Springbrook and hold it harmless against those risks.
(c) Customer Data. Customer shall be responsible for Customer Data as entered in to, applied or
used in the Cloud Service. Customer is responsible for ensuring the accuracy, quality, integrity and
legality of Customer Data. In addition, Customer acknowledges that Springbrook generally does not
have access to and cannot retrieve lost Customer Data. If Customer loses Customer Data, Customer
may no longer have access to the Cloud Service. Customer grants to Springbrook the non‐exclusive
right to process Customer Data (including personal data) for the sole purpose of and only to the
extent necessary for Springbrook: (i) to provide the Springbrook Services; (ii) to verify Customer’s
compliance with the restrictions set forth in Section 3 (Restrictions on Use of the Cloud Service and
Cloud Software) if Springbrook has a reasonable belief of Customer’s non‐compliance; and (iii) as
otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Springbrook may utilize the information concerning
Customer’s use of the Cloud Service (excluding any use of Customer’s personal data or Customer’s
Confidential Information) to improve the Cloud Service, to provide Customer with reports on its
use of the Cloud Services, and to compile aggregate statistics and usage patterns by customers
using the Cloud Services. Customer represents and warrants that it owns or has full and
unrestricted rights and authority to effectuate the grants set forth in this Section and there are no
third parties who may claim rights or interests in the Customer Data or otherwise hinder such
grants.
(d) Use of Aggregate Data. Customer agrees that Springbrook may collect, use, and disclose
quantitative data derived from the use of the Cloud Service for industry analysis, benchmarking,
analytics, marketing, and other business purposes. All disclosed data will be in aggregate form only
and will not identify Customer, its Authorized Users, or any third parties utilizing the Cloud Service.

12. Confidentiality.
(a) Confidentiality Term. The obligations described in this Section commence on the Effective Date and
will continue until two (2) years following any termination or expiration of this Agreement
(“Confidentiality Term”).
(b) Confidentiality Obligations. During the Confidentiality Term and subject to the other terms of this
Agreement (including Springbrook’s Privacy Policy, accessible at https://sprbrk.box.com/v/sprbrk-
privacy-policy, which URL and its content may be updated from time to time by Springbrook),
Recipient will protect the confidentiality of Confidential Information using the same degree of care
that it uses to protect its own information of similar importance, but will in any case use no less than
a reasonable degree of care to protect Confidential Information. Recipient will not directly or
indirectly disclose Confidential Information or any part thereof to any third party without Disclosing
Party’s advance express written authorization to do so. Recipient may disclose Confidential
Information only to its employees, contractors or advisors on a need‐to‐know basis and who are
bound by confidentiality and non‐use restrictions at least as stringent as those contained herein. In
responding to a request for Confidential Information, Recipient will cooperate with Disclosing Party,
in a timely fashion and in a manner consistent with applicable laws, to protect the Confidential
Information to the fullest extent possible.
(c) Legally Compelled Information. In the event the Recipient becomes legally compelled (by
deposition, interrogatory, requests for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar
process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, or the Recipient determines that it is
obligated by law, rule, statute or governmental regulation to disclose any of the Confidential
Information, the Recipient shall provide the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice of such
requirement so that the Disclosing Party, if possible, may seek a protective order or other
appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that
such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Recipient agrees to furnish only that
portion of the Confidential Information that it is legally required to furnish and to exercise
reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such
Confidential Information. A Party’s obligations hereunder with respect to legally compelled
information shall continue to be applicable for all other purposes.
(d) Publicity. During the term of this Agreement, including the term of any amendment hereto,
Springbrook may publicly disclose its ongoing business relationship with Customer. Such disclosures
may indicate Customer's identity and the Springbrook Services provided or contracted to be
provided to Customer. These disclosures may include press releases or other communications to
media, display on Springbrook web sites, or use in other marketing activities, but will not include
non‐public information or indicate Customer's express endorsement of Springbrook's products or
services without Customer's prior written authorization.
13. Term and Termination.

SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND SPRINGBROOK AND ITS SUPPLIERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY
AND ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR
OTHERWISE WITH RESPECT THERETO, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON‐INFRINGEMENT, OR THE CONTINUOUS,
UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR‐FREE, VIRUS‐FREE, OR SECURE ACCESS TO OR OPERATION OF THE
SPRINGBROOK SERVICES. SPRINGBROOK EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION OR DATA ACCESSED OR USED IN
CONNECTION WITH THE SPRINGBROOK SERVICES OR MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT OR THAT THE
SPRINGBROOK SERVICES WILL BE COMPATIBLE OR WORK WITH ANY CUSTOMER OR THIRD‐PARTY
SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE.
15. Mutual Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by Customer. Customer will defend (or settle), indemnify and hold harmless
Springbrook, its officers, directors, employees and subcontractors, from and against any liabilities,
losses, damages and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of
or in connection with any third‐party claim: (i) that a third party has suffered injury, damage or loss
resulting from Customer’s or any Authorized User’s use of the Software or Cloud Service, or (ii)
arising from allegations that Customer has used the Software or Cloud Service in a manner that
violates this Agreement or applicable law, or (iii) in connection with the nature and content of
Customer Data processed by the Software or Cloud Service.
(b) Indemnification by Springbrook.
(i) Intellectual Property Indemnification. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 15,
Springbrook will (a) defend at its expense any filed lawsuit (a “Claim”) brought against Customer
by a third party (the “Claimant”) to the extent such Claim alleges that the Cloud Service or Cloud
Software provided by Springbrook to Customer hereunder violates or infringes the Claimant’s
patents, trademarks or copyrights or misappropriates the Claimant’s trade secrets (collectively,
“IP Rights”), and (b) either (i) indemnify Customer with respect to any final, non‐appealable
judgments, costs, fines or penalties awarded, entered or assessed against Customer by a court
of competent jurisdiction that directly result from a Claim, or (ii) pay the value of any settlement
with the Claimant agreed to by Springbrook.
(ii) Springbrook Options. If a temporary or permanent injunction is obtained against the use of any
part of the Cloud Service or Cloud Software for the reason that they infringe or misappropriate
any third party’s IP Rights or there is a reasonable likelihood of such an injunction, Springbrook
August 2023. Cloud Service Master Agreement Terms and
Conditions
Page 13
may at its option (a) modify the Cloud Service or Cloud Software to avoid the allegation of
infringement, (b) obtain for Customer the right to continue using the Cloud Service or Cloud
Software, or (c) replace the allegedly infringing Cloud Service or Cloud Software with non‐
infringing and functionally equivalent technology. In the event that none of the foregoing is
commercially reasonable, Springbrook may terminate Customer’s right to use the allegedly
infringing portion of the Cloud Service or Cloud Software.
(iii) Exclusions. Springbrook will not be liable or have any obligations hereunder for any infringement
of IP Rights resulting from (a) the combination, utilization or integration of the Cloud Service or
Cloud Software with Customer’s or any third party’s products or technology, (b) compliance with
Customer’s designs, specifications or instructions; (c) unauthorized modification of the Cloud
Service or Cloud Software by any entity other than Springbrook, (d) use of the Cloud Service or
Cloud Software other than as specified in Springbrook’s published specifications and
documentation, (e) Customer’s failure to incorporate updates or upgrades that would have
avoided the alleged infringement; or (f) Customer’s breach of the Agreement.
(iv) THIS SECTION 15 STATES THE ENTIRE OBLIGATION OF SPRINGBROOK, ITS AFFILIATES AND ITS
LICENSORS WITH RESPECT TO ANY ALLEGED OR ACTUAL INFRINGEMENT OR
MISAPPROPRIATION OF IP RIGHTS BY THE CLOUD SOFTWARE, CLOUD SERVICE OR ANY OTHER
SPRINGBOOK SERVICES.
(c) Indemnification Requirements. In connection with any claim for indemnification under this Section
15, the indemnified party must: (i) provide the indemnifying party prompt written notice of such
claim; (ii) reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party, at indemnified party’s expense, in
defense and settlement of such claim; (iii) give sole authority to the indemnifying party to defend or
settle such claim; and (iv) make no admission of liability with respect to the claim. The indemnified
party may, at its sole expense, actively participate in any suit or proceeding, through its own counsel.
16. Limitation of Liability.
(a) Waiver of Consequential Damages. Neither Springbrook nor any other person or entity involved in
creating, producing, or delivering the Springbrook Services will be liable for any indirect, incidental,
special, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of
goodwill, loss of revenue, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of
substitute products or services, or other commercial or economic loss of any kind whatsoever, or
any liability of Customer to a third party, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or from
the use of or inability to use the Springbrook Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort
(including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, even if Springbrook was advised of
the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental, consequential or special damages, so the above limitations may not apply to Customer.
(b) In no event will Springbrook’s aggregate liability hereunder to Customer or any third party arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement or from the use of or inability to use the Springbrook
Services, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, exceed the total amount paid
by Customer in the twelve (12) month period preceding the incident. These limitations shall apply
notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any remedy.
(c) Security and Other Risks. Customer acknowledges that, notwithstanding security features of the
August 2023. Cloud Service Master Agreement Terms and
Conditions
Page 14
Cloud Service, no product, hardware, software or service can provide a completely secure
mechanism of electronic transmission or communication and that there are persons and entities,
including enterprises, governments and quasi‐governmental actors, as well as technologies, that
may attempt to breach any electronic security measure. Subject only to its limited warranty
obligations set forth in Section 14, Springbrook will have no liability for any security breach caused
by any such persons, entities, or technologies. If Customer or Authorized Users use the Subscription
Service in any application or environment where failure could cause personal injury, loss of life, or
other substantial harm, Customer assumes any associated risks and will indemnify Springbrook and
hold it harmless against those risks.
17. Other Terms and Conditions.
(a) Dispute Resolution. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Oregon without regard
for its conflict of laws principles. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
or the breach thereof, will be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration
Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, including the Emergency Interim Relief
Procedures, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction thereof. The number of arbitrators shall be one (1) unless the Parties mutually
agree otherwise. The place of arbitration will be Multnomah County, Oregon. Either party may apply
to the arbitrator for injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is
otherwise resolved. Either Party also may, without waiving any remedy hereunder, seek from any
court having jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or
property of that party, pending the arbitrator’s determination of the merits of the controversy. Each
party will initially bear its own expenses and an equal share of the costs of the arbitration, but the
prevailing party may be awarded its expenses, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and costs.
(b) Other Agencies. Each Party understands and agrees that this Agreement may be used by other
governmental agencies under substantially the same terms and conditions, excluding pricing,
duration, scope of services to be provided, and other terms unique to the Customer. Each
governmental agency desiring to accept this Agreement, and make an award thereof, shall do so
independently of the Customer and/or any other governmental agency. Each governmental agency
shall be responsible for its own purchases, and each shall be liable only for materials and/or services
ordered and received by it, and no governmental agency, other than Customer, assumes any liability
by virtue of this Agreement. This Agreement in no way restricts or interferes with the right of the
Customer or any governmental agency to competitively procure any or all items. The foregoing does
not authorize either Party to disclose Confidential Information of the other Party.
(c) Equitable Relief. The Recipient acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s
Confidential Information or misappropriation or infringement of a Party’s Intellectual Property
Rights could cause substantial harm to the Disclosing Party or owner of such Intellectual Property
Rights for which damages alone might not be a sufficient remedy and, therefore, that upon any such
disclosure, misappropriation or infringement, the injured Party will be entitled to seek appropriate
equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law or equity.
(d) Assignment. Springbrook may assign its rights and obligations hereunder for purposes of financing
or pursuant to corporate transactions involving merger, acquisition, or the sale of all or substantially
all of its stock or assets. Assignment by a Customer of its rights and obligations hereunder requires
the advance written consent of Springbrook. Any attempted assignment or transfer, without such
August 2023. Cloud Service Master Agreement Terms and
Conditions
Page 15
consent, will be void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of
the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the Parties and
supersedes any and all prior agreements of the Parties with respect to the transactions set forth
herein.
(f) Severability and Amendment If any particular provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid
or unenforceable, that determination will not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, which
will be construed in all respects as if the invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted. No
extension, modification, or amendment of this Agreement will be effective unless it is described in
writing and signed by all Parties.
(g) Notice. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all notices, permissions and approvals
hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed to have been given upon: (i) personal delivery, (ii)
the third business day after mailing by first class mail, or (iii) sending by confirmed email if sent
during the recipient’s normal business hours (or, if not, then on the next business day). Notices will
be sent to the address specified by the recipient in writing when entering into this Agreement or
establishing Customer’s account for the Springbrook Services (or such other address as the recipient
may thereafter specify by notice given in accordance with this Section 17).
(h) Compliance with Laws. Each party will comply with all applicable laws and regulations with respect
to its activities under this Agreement including, but not limited to, export laws and regulations of
the United States and other applicable jurisdictions. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer will
not permit Authorized Users to access or use the Cloud Service or Cloud Software in violation of
any U.S. export embargo, prohibition or restriction. Further, in connection with the services
performed under this Agreement and Customer’s use of the Cloud Services or Cloud Software, the
Parties agree to comply with all applicable anti‐ corruption and anti‐bribery laws, statutes, and
regulations.
(i) Relationship of the Parties. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture,
agency, fiduciary or similar relationship between the parties.
(j) Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under
this Agreement will constitute a waiver of that right. Other than as expressly stated herein, the
remedies provided herein are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other remedies of a party at
law or in equity.
(k) Force Majeure. Springbrook will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform under this
Agreement to the extent such delay or failure results from circumstances or causes beyond the
reasonable control of Springbrook.

II. AVAILABILITY
Service Availability:

use of the Cloud Service provided hereunder and in an applicable Order Form and (b) operate and
manage the Cloud Service with a ninety‐nine and one‐half percent (99.5%) uptime goal (the “Availability
SLA”), excluding situations identified as “Exclusions” below.
“Exclusions" means any outage that results from any of the following:
(a) Any maintenance performed by Springbrook during Springbrook’s standard maintenance
windows. Springbrook will notify Customer within forty‐eight (48) hours of any standard
maintenance and within twenty‐four (24) hours for other non‐standard emergency
maintenance (collectively referred to herein as “Scheduled Maintenance”).
(b) Customer’s information content or application programming, or the acts or omissions of
Customer or its agents, including, without limitation, the following:
1. Customer’s failure to provide Springbrook with reasonable advance prior notice of any
pending unusual large deployments of new nodes (e.g., adding over ten (10) percent total
nodes in less than twenty‐four (24) hours);
2. Customer’s implementation of any significant configuration changes, including changes that
lead to a greater than thirty percent (30%) change in a one week period or greater than fifty
percent (50%) change in a one month period in the number of key objects in the system
including but not limited to metrics, snapshots, nodes, events and business transactions;
3. Any misconfiguration by Customer (as determined in Springbrook’s sole discretion),
including, without limitation, configuration errors and bad or unintended usage of the Cloud
Service; and
4. Force majeure or other circumstances beyond Springbrook’s reasonable control that
could not be avoided by its exercise of due care.
(c) Failures of the Internet backbone, telecommunications systems, ISP failures, or the network by
which Customer connects to the Internet backbone or any other network unavailability.
(d) Any window of time when Customer agrees that Cloud Service availability/unavailability will not
be monitored or counted.
(e) Any problems resulting from Customer combining or merging the Cloud Service with any
hardware or software not supplied by Springbrook or not identified by Springbrook in the
Specifications as being compatible with the Cloud Service.
August 2023. Cloud Service Master Agreement Terms and Conditions - Exhibit

(f) Interruptions or delays in providing the Cloud Service resulting from telecommunication or
Internet service provider failures. Customer’s or any third party’s use of the Cloud Service in an
unauthorized or unlawful manner.
August 2023. Cloud Service Master Agreement Terms and Conditions - Exhibit
A
Page 20
Remedies for Excessive Downtime:
In the event the Availability of the Cloud Service falls below the Availability SLA in a given calendar
month, Springbrook will pay Customer a service credit (“Service Credit”) equal to the percentage of
the fees set forth in the table below corresponding to the actual Availability of the Cloud Service
during the applicable calendar month. Springbrook will apply any Service Credits only against future
Cloud Service payments otherwise due from Customer. Service Credits will not entitle Customer to
any refund or other payment from Springbrook. Service Credits may not be transferred or applied to
any other account. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, Customer’s sole and exclusive
remedy for any unavailability, non‐performance, or other failure by Springbrook to provide the Cloud
Service is the receipt of a Service Credit (if eligible) in accordance with the terms of this Exhibit A.
System availability is measured by the following formula: x = (n ‐ y) *100 / n
Notes:
(1) "x" is the uptime percentage; "n" is the total number of hours in the given calendar month minus
Exclusions; and "y" is the total number of downtime hours in the given calendar month not caused
by an Exclusion.
Service Availability Percentage of Monthly Service Fees Credited
>99.5% 0%
95.0% ‐ < 99.5% 5% (max of $280)
90.0% ‐ < 95.0% 10% (max of $560)
80.0% ‐ < 90.0% 20% (max $840)
70.0% ‐ < 80.0% 30% (max of $1,120)
60.0% ‐ < 70.0% 40% (max of $1,400)
< 50% 50% (max of $2,800)
Customer Account Login:
For Springbrook user interface access, Springbrook uses TLS 1.2 with AES 256 bit or similar encryption
for protection of data in transit, which is supported by most modern browsers. Springbrook will also
restrict applicable administrative user interface access to Customer corporate networks for
additional security on written request by Customer.
Hosting:
Springbrook’s SaaS platform (servers, infrastructure, and storage) for the Cloud Service is and will
remain hosted in one of the largest data centers in North America, specifically designed and
constructed to deliver world‐ class physical security, power availability, infrastructure flexibility and
growth capacity. Springbrook’s data center provider is and will remain SSAE 18 SOC2 compliant,
meaning it has been fully independently audited to verify the validity and functionality of its control
activities and processes. Every Server for the Services is and will remain operated in a fully
redundant fail‐over pair to ensure high availability. Data is and will remain backed up nightly, stored
redundantly and will be restored rapidly in case of failure.
Security Patching and updates are actively evaluated by engineers and will be deployed based upon
the impact and risk and stability benefits they offer to Springbrook’s SaaS platform and Customers.
August 2023. Cloud Service Master Agreement Terms and Conditions - Exhibit
A
Page 21
Springbrook will attempt to provide customers reasonable prior notice to security changes, updates,
and patches, unless the delay will lead to a significant risk of impact to customer data.
Fees:
Maintenance and Support Services, as described herein, are included in the Cloud Service
Subscription for no additional fees, except as follows:
Springbrook will bill Customer on an hourly basis for the following services that are beyond the
scope of standard Maintenance and Support Services;
(a) Maintenance or Support in cases where repeated operator‐produced error by the same user
continues to occur despite notification to Customer;

controls to ensure the accuracy and appropriate use of the Cloud Software or Cloud Service and
compliance with local, state and federal regulations and auditors requirements;
(e) Costs associated with Customer’s creation or modification of data in Springbrook’s database
except through the appropriate use of the Cloud Software or Cloud Service;
(f) Costs associated with Customer’s own actions to integrate the Cloud Software or Cloud Service
with applications or services not purchased from Springbrook;
(g) Costs associated with Customer’s failure to meet the terms and conditions of this Agreement;
(h) Costs associated with additional labor or out of pocket expenses incurred while providing support
to Customer in cases where Springbrook has requested but Customer has denied remote access
into a user workstation or the server housing the Cloud Software; and
(i) Labor and travel costs associated with providing on‐site for services covered by this Agreement.

EXHIBIT B
ONLINE PAYMENTS SCHEDULE
1. Definitions.
“Citizen” means the person who uses Online Payments (as defined below) to complete a payment
processing that results in the debiting or charging of an amount to such person’s payment
instrument and the crediting of funds to Customer.
“Online Payments” means an optional third‐party add‐on to the Cloud Software that Springbrook
facilitates designed to collect payment information for the purpose of payment processing.
“Payment Application(s)” refers broadly to all third‐party payment applications, gateway,
processors, payment terminals, and service providers that store, process, or transmit cardholder
data as part of authorization or settlement, where these payment applications are sold, distributed
or licensed to Customer.
2. Online Payments.
(a) During the Term, and subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Exhibit,
Springbrook will provide the right to access to, and use of, Online Payments to Customer’s Citizens
with an Online Payments enabled Account. For the avoidance of doubt, Springbrook is only
facilitating access to and use of Online Payments and is not a provider of Online Payments.
(b) To facilitate payments, Customer will be required to provide Springbrook with certain Customer
Data, including specifically, information that allows Springbrook to: (a) transmit Customer’s
identifying information to a Payment Application; (b) if applicable, receive appropriate payment
authorization from a Payment Application; and (c) collect any other information that Customer
or Payment Application requires of Springbrook in order to facilitate payment processing.
Customer authorizes Springbrook to store, process, and transmit Customer Data as necessary for
a Payment Application to facilitate payment processing between Customer and a third party
designated by Customer. Unless otherwise provided, Online Payments will temporarily store
information received from Customer, such as account information for a Payment Application only
for the purpose of facilitating the payment processing.
(c) The payment processing facilitated through Online Payments is processing activities between
Customer and a third party and/or Customer and a Payment Application, and not with
Springbrook. Payment Applications are independent contractors and not agents, employees or
subcontractors of Springbrook. Springbrook does not control and is not responsible for the
payment methods made available by the Payment Applications through Cloud Software nor the
Third‐Party Services that are sold or purchased by Customer. Customer acknowledges and agrees
that Springbrook cannot ensure that Citizen or third party will complete a payment processing or
that it is authorized to do so.
August 2023. Cloud Service Master Agreement Terms and Conditions - Exhibit
B
Page 23
3. Additional Customer Responsibilities.
Springbrook’s provision of Online Payments is conditioned on Customer’s acknowledgement of and
agreement of the following:
(a) Customer is solely responsible for registering and maintaining an account with Online Payments
in order to facilitate the payment processing via Online Payments;
(b) Customer is solely responsible for complying with: (i) all laws applicable to the payment
processing conducted by customer via Online Payments; (ii) all terms of use or other terms and
conditions between Customer and Payment Applications.
(c) Customer is solely responsible for the acts and omissions of its Authorized Users in relation to
their use of Online Payments and for ensuring that such use complies with the terms of the
Agreement;
(d) Customer has exclusive control over and responsibility for the content, quality, and format of
any payments processing it submits to be processed via Online Payments. Nothing in this Exhibit
may be construed to make Springbrook a party to any payment processed by Online Payments,
and Springbrook makes no representation or warranty regarding the payment processing sought
to be affected by Customer’s use of Online Payments; and
(e) Customer is solely responsible for any and all disputes with any Payment Applications or Citizens
related to or in connection with a payment processing sought to be facilitated via Online
Payments, including, but not limited to: (i) chargebacks; (ii) products or services not received;
(iii) return of, delayed delivery of, or cancelled products or services; (iv) cancelled transactions;
(v) duplicate transactions or charges; (vi) electronic debits and credits involving bank accounts,
debit cards, credit cards, and check issuances; and (vii) amount of time to complete payment
processing.
4. Payment Warranties; Disclaimers’ Limitation of Liability.
(a) Springbrook Payments Warranty. The parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any
of the provisions of the Agreement, Springbrook’s sole and exclusive warranties with respect to
Online Payments are set forth in the following sentence. Springbrook warrants that Online
Payments as delivered to Customer and used in accordance with the Agreement and its
applicable specifications will perform substantially in accordance with the specifications
associated with the Software.
(b) Disclaimer. Except for the express warranties for the Cloud Software set forth above, Springbrook:
(a) makes no additional representation or warrant of any kind‐whether express, implied in fact
or by operation of law, or statutory‐with respect to Online Payments; (b) disclaims all implied
warranties, including, but not limited to, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non‐
infringement and title; and (c) does not warrant that Online Payments will be error‐free or meet
Customer’s requirements. Customer has no right to make or pass on any representation or
warranty on behalf of Springbrook to any third party.
(c) Limitation of Liability. Springbrook shall not be responsible or liable for any claims, demands and
damages (actual and consequential) arising out of or in any way connected with a dispute that
may arise between Customer and a Citizen, and /or Customer and a Payment Application
August 2023. Cloud Service Master Agreement Terms and Conditions - Exhibit
B
Page 24
regarding the payment processing (“Payment Processing Disputes”), and Customer hereby
agrees that it will not bring or assert any action, claim or cause of action in jurisdiction or forum
against Springbrook arising from or relating to a Payment Processing Dispute.
5. Third Party Claims.
In addition to the third party claims obligations and subject to the indemnification procedures under
the Agreement, Customer will indemnify and defend Springbrook against, any Claim to the extent
arising from or related to: (a) improper use of Online Payments by Customer or its Authorized Users
or Citizens; (b) any breach by Customer of its obligations hereunder; (c) the nature and content of all
cardholder data or any related data thereto provided by customer, its Authorized Users or Citizens
through use of Online Payments; (D) violation of any law or the rights of a third party by Customer
through its use of Online Payments and/or the actions or inactions of any third party to whom
Customer grants permissions to use Customer’s Account or access Online Payments on Customer’s
behalf; and (e) the terms of an agreement between Customer and a Citizen, or Customer and a
Payment Application.
