Capitalized terms have the meaning given to them in the Agreement.
1. The Services.
1.1 You may purchase certain Services (as defined below) from Piksel each as further described on an applicable Service Agreement signed by both Piksel and You (each, a “Service Agreement”).
1.2 Each Service Agreement accepted by Piksel and You on or after the Effective Date shall become part of, and subject to, these Terms and Conditions. In the event of any conflict between or among any Service Agreement executed by both You and Piksel and these Terms and Conditions, then they will prevail in the following order: the Service Agreement and then these Terms and Conditions.
2. Term and Termination.
2.1 Each Service Agreement becomes effective on the Effective Date set forth on such Service Agreement. The term for each Service Agreement shall begin upon the latter of the Effective Date, or the date of initial notification of Service availability or use provided by Piksel to You under a Service Agreement (the “Commencement Date”) and shall extend for the period of a number of specified months thereafter as set forth in the applicable Service Agreement (the “Service Agreement Term”).
2.2 The Service Agreement Term is stated in a given Service Agreement. Upon expiration of the initial Service Agreement Term or any renewal Service Agreement Term, the Service Agreement Term shall automatically renew for consecutive twelve (12) month terms unless either party terminates the applicable Service Agreement effective as of the end of the then-current Service Agreement Term by notifying the other party in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current Service Agreement Term.
2.3 Upon any early termination of any Service Agreement by You without cause, prior to the end of the then- current Service Agreement Term, You shall pay to Piksel a fee equal to, for each Service Agreement so terminated (i) the number of months remaining in the then-current Service Agreement Term, multiplied by (ii) the minimum monthly charge under such Service Agreement (“Early Termination Fee”). The parties agree that the Early Termination Fee shall be liquidated damages and shall constitute compensation, for Your breach in early termination of a Service Agreement without cause, and is not a penalty. The payment by You of such liquidated damages shall be Your sole liability and entire obligation and Piksel’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to such termination. The parties agree that the Early Termination Fee is reasonable because: (i) the amount of actual damages to Piksel caused by such early termination is difficult or impossible to calculate accurately; and (ii) the Early Termination Fee is a reasonable pre-estimate of Piksel’s probable loss in the event of any such early termination. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, Sections 2.3, 3, 5.3, 5.4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14 (for the period set forth in the last sentence of 14.1), 15 through 17 of these Terms and Conditions shall survive, along with any other provisions of the Agreement that by their terms survive such termination or expiration.
2.4 Either party may terminate this Agreement (and all Service Agreements) due to the other party’s breach of a material covenant, term or condition of this Agreement; provided that: (i) the non-breaching party has first provided written notice of such breach to the breaching party, and (ii) the breaching party has failed to cure such breach, if curable, within the thirty (30) day period following its receipt of such notice. Either party may also terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party in accordance with Section 8.7 or Section 17.9.
2.5 Either party may terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon written notice if: (i) the other party files a petition for bankruptcy or is adjudicated as bankrupt; (ii) a petition in bankruptcy is filed against the other party and such petition is not removed or resolved within thirty (30) calendar days; (iii) the other party makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or an arrangement for its creditors pursuant to bankruptcy law; (iv) the other party discontinues any line of its business affecting the Services; (v) a receiver is appointed over all or substantially all of the other party’s assets or business; (vi) the other party is dissolved or liquidated; or (vii)in accordance with Section 11 of these Terms and Conditions. For avoidance of doubt, in the event that You terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 2.5, You will not be required to pay an Early Termination Fee.
2.6 Piksel may in its sole discretion suspend Your access to the Services (or any portion thereof) under the applicable Service Agreement: (i) should You fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (ii) based on any conduct that Piksel believes is or may be directly or indirectly harmful to other users, to Piksel or its suppliers (including their respective systems or the Services); (iii) based on any conduct that Piksel reasonably believes may be a violation of law or third party rights; or (iv) in the event of any legal restriction imposed on You, Piksel, or its suppliers with respect to provision of the Services; provided that Piksel will provide You with three (3) business days’ prior written notice of such suspension and afford You the opportunity to cure such violation prior to exercising such suspension rights. In addition, Piksel may in its sole discretion suspend Your access to the Services (or any portion thereof) or terminate the applicable Service Agreement or Statement of Work, should You change Your business model if such change materially diminishes the revenue share between You and Piksel, if Piksel notifies you of such diminished revenue share, and You have not reinstated Your previous business model, or one of similar import within ninety (90) days of such notification. Piksel’s right to suspend or terminate the Services as set forth in this Section shall not absolve You of any payment or indemnification obligations described herein or diminish any other right or remedy available to Piksel or its suppliers. No Service interruption shall be deemed to occur and Piksel shall have no responsibility to or liability for the Services during such period of suspension.
2.7 In the event that Piksel announces the end-of-life of any of the Services, Piksel shall provide: (i) at least three (3) months’ written notice of its intention to so discontinue such Services together with confirmation of the exact date on which the applicable Services will become end-of-life; and (ii) a written notification to You as to how long Piksel will continue to provide support for the Services that become end-of-life.
2.8 You hereby understand, acknowledge, and agree that in the event that this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Piksel has no obligation to maintain information, files, and Content (as defined herein) associated with Your account including, without limitation, Content posted by You. You shall be responsible for maintaining any and all backups of information, files, and Content uploaded to Your account, and Piksel shall not be liable for the deletion of such information, files or Content from Your account of the applicable Service Agreement’s termination.

3.1 The rates, fees and charges applicable to the Services are outlined in the applicable Service Agreement and incorporated by reference herein.

Services provided for a partial month will be invoiced on a pro-rata basis.

You shall pay all amounts by check, credit card or wire transfer. The unpaid and undisputed portion of any invoice not paid by the Due Date will be subject to an interest rate equal to 1.5% per month. You shall be deemed to be in material default hereunder if payment is not received within thirty (30) days of the Due Date and all amounts invoiced or earned but not yet invoiced by Piksel shall be deemed “past due.” In addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity, if all undisputed past due balances are not paid in full within thirty (30) days of the Due Date, Piksel reserves the right to immediately suspend the Services. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms and Conditions or any Service Agreement to the contrary, if Piksel elects to suspend the Services, no Service interruption shall be deemed to occur and Piksel shall have no responsibility to or liability for the Services during such period of suspension; provided, that Piksel shall reinstate the Services within forty- eight (48) hours of Your cure of any such payment defaults.
3.3 Reasonable, documented travel costs for Piksel personnel which are approved by You in writing in advance (email approval is acceptable), including actual pre-approved costs of airfare, hotel expenses, meals, and local transportation expenses incurred by Piksel personnel solely in connection with the performance of Piksel’s obligations on Your premises, or on a location designated by You, shall be reimbursed by You.

You waive any dispute regarding any amounts set forth on a given invoice if You do not timely notify Piksel in accordance with this Section.
3.5 Except as set forth in Section 3.4, Your obligation to pay any fees or amounts due under this Agreement shall not be subject to any rights of set-off, counterclaim, deduction, defense or other right which You may have against Piksel or any other party.
