EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES STATED EXPLICITLY HEREIN, WORKSIMPLE DOES NOT REPRESENT THAT CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE SERVICE WILL BE SECURE, TIMELY, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ALL ERRORS IN THE SERVICE AND/OR DOCUMENTATION WILL BE CORRECTED OR THAT THE SYSTEM THAT MAKES THE SERVICE AVAILABLE WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. THE WARRANTIES STATED IN THE TERMS OF SERVICE ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES OFFERED BY WORKSIMPLE. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND WORKSIMPLE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE NON-INFRINGEMENT AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OF COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES STATED IN THE TERMS OF SERVICE, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED TO CUSTOMER ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE ONLY. CUSTOMER ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR DETERMINING WHETHER THE SERVICE OR THE INFORMATION GENERATED THEREBY IS ACCURATE OR SUFFICIENT FOR CUSTOMER’S PURPOSES.
CUSTOMER AGREES THAT THE CONSIDERATION WHICH WORKSIMPLE IS CHARGING FOR THE SERVICE DOES NOT INCLUDE CONSIDERATION FOR ASSUMPTION BY WORKSIMPLE OF THE RISK OF CUSTOMER’S INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE OR KIND (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OR DISCLOSURE OF CUSTOMER DATA, LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS, OR LOSS OF OTHER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE) ARISING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL CAUSE OF ACTION TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS. The maximum liability of WorkSimple arising out of or in the connection with this Agreement or any use or other employment of the Service, whether such liability arises from any claim based on breach or repudiation of contract, breach of warranty, negligence, tort, or otherwise, shall in no case exceed the equivalent of 12 months in license fees applicable at the time of the event. The essential purpose of this provision is to limit the potential liability of the parties arising from this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the limitations set forth in this Section are integral to the amount of fees charged in connection with the license of the Service and that, were WorkSimple to assume any further liability other than as set forth herein, such fees would of necessity be set substantially higher. Certain states and/or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the exclusions set forth above may not apply to Customer.
Either party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party in the event of an uncured material breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party. Such notice by the complaining party shall expressly state all of the reasons for the claimed breach in sufficient detail so as to provide the alleged breaching party a meaningful opportunity to cure such alleged breach (“Notice”). Following receipt of such Notice, this Agreement shall terminate only if the alleged breaching party has not cured such alleged breach within thirty (30) days. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Customer shall have no rights to continue use of the Service. If this Agreement is terminated by Customer for any reason other than a termination expressly permitted by this Agreement, Customer agrees that WorkSimple shall be entitled to all of the fees due under this Agreement for the entire Term. If this Agreement is terminated by Customer for an uncured breach by WorkSimple, WorkSimple shall refund the pro rata portion of any fee paid by Customer for the terminated portion of the Term.
The Company may permanently or temporarily terminate, suspend, or otherwise refuse to permit your access to the Service without notice and liability, if, in the Company’s sole determination, you violate any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, including the following prohibited actions: (i) attempting to interfere with, compromise the system integrity or security or decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running the Service; (ii) taking any action that imposes, or may impose at our sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; (iii) uploading invalid data, viruses, worms, or other software agents through the Service; (iv) impersonating another person or otherwise misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity, conducting fraud, hiding or attempting to hide your identity; (v) interfering with the proper working of the Service; or, (vi) bypassing the measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Service, including, but not limited to, registering for the Service with a non-Network email address. Upon termination for any reason, you continue to be bound by this Agreement.

The failure of WorkSimple to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
Neither party shall be liable for any loss or delay (including failure to meet the service level commitment) resulting from any force majeure event, including, but not limited to, acts of God, fire, natural disaster, terrorism, labor stoppage, war or military hostilities, criminal acts of third parties, and any payment date or delivery of Service date shall be extended to the extent of any delay resulting from any force majeure event.
