Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Customer accepts and assumes all responsibility for complying with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with all of Customer's activities involving any Services, Output, or End User data.1.3 Ownership.Except for the rights expressly granted under this Section 1, Terra reserves and retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Services which includes but is not limited to the API Package and any related Output (except for raw End User data, which belongs to the End User), software, products, works, and other intellectual property created, used, or provided by Terra for the purposes of this Agreement.

Customer is responsible under Section 2 (Payments) of the Agreement for any fees or charges incurred by its Permitted Users in their use of the Services. If Customer enables any third parties as Permitted Users, Customer (and not Terra) remains solely responsible for its relationships with such third parties and for any related billing matters, technical support, or disputes.1.6 Development Accounts.In addition to allowing production access to the Services as described in Section 1.1 ("Production Access"), Terra may offer free sandbox or development accounts for the Services ("Development Accounts"). Customer may use Development Accounts solely for internal evaluation of the Services to determine whether to place a paid Order, and not for Production Access or any other purpose. In using Development Accounts, Customer must comply with Terra's relevant documentation, policies, and instructions, including as relates to the data types and use cases eligible for Development Accounts. Terra may make available different types of Development Accounts, and each Development Account may have limited functionality and other usage limits. Terra may modify or disable Development Accounts (and delete related data submitted by Customer or provided by Terra) without notice or liability to Customer. Terra has no support obligations for Development Accounts. The uses of Development Accounts remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation Sections 1.2 (Restrictions) through 1.5 (Permitted Users), 1.7 (Compliance Reviews), 4 (Confidentiality), 5 (Indemnity), 6 (Warranty; Disclaimer) and 7 (Limitation of Liability).1.7 Compliance Reviews.To access or use the Services, whether Development Accounts or Production Access, Customer must successfully pass Terra's compliance reviews, which may include automated verifications, online questionnaires, and requests for information ("Compliance Reviews"). As part of the Compliance Reviews, Customer must provide prompt responses to Terra's requests for information about Customer, the Customer Application, Customer's business and associated entities, and Customer's intended use of the Services. Customer represents and warrants that all information it provides to Terra as part of Compliance Reviews will be accurate and complete, and Customer will immediately notify Terra if any previously provided information is out-of-date or becomes inaccurate. Customer may be required to complete more than one Compliance Review, for instance, to enable Development Accounts or upgrade to Production Access, or as requested by Terra based on changes in Customer's use of the Services or increased risk factors. Customer's passage or failure of any Compliance Review is in Terra's sole discretion. If Customer fails any Compliance Review or fails to provide prompt and complete responses within three business days after Terra's requests for information (even if Customer has passed a previous Compliance Review or received provisional access to the Services), Terra may suspend, revoke, or terminate Customer's access to the Services, without notice or liability to Customer.1.8 Responsible Use.Customer agrees to use the Services and the API Package responsibly. This includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that the use of the Services and API Package complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies. Customer must not use the Services or API Package in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair any Terra server, or interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of any Services. Customer agrees not to attempt to gain unauthorized access to any Services or features through hacking, password mining or any other means.
PaymentsCustomer will pay Terra for the Services as set forth in the pricing schedule in the Terra dashboard (the “Payments”). If Customer purchases an Order, Customer's payment method automatically will be charged at the start of each subscription period for the fees and taxes applicable to that period. To avoid future charges, Customer must cancel their Order before the renewal date through the Terra dashboard or by contacting the relevant representative at Terra. In the case that Customer cancels their Order before the end of a billing cycle, Customer shall remain liable for payment for such period and Customer shall keep access to the Services for the remainder of the billing period. Payments must be made within seven (7) days from the date of Terra's invoice. Late payments are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection. The Customer will be responsible for all (i) taxes associated with Services other than taxes based on Terra's net income and (ii) Terra's costs of collection in the event of the Customer's delinquent payment. All Payments made are non-cancellable, and not subject to set-off. Terra reserves the right to revoke Customer's access to the Services should Customer have outstanding payments for longer than 1 month.

On the effective date of termination of this Agreement, all issued Orders under the Agreement will also terminate unless otherwise agreed by Terra and the Customer.3.2 Term of Orders.The Term of Orders shall be as follows, unless otherwise stated in the pricing schedule in the Customer's dashboard on Terra's website: (i) each Order will have an initial term of one (1) month (an “Initial Term”) beginning on the effective date of such Order; (ii) after the Initial Term, such Order will automatically renew for one (1) month periods (each a “Renewal Term”) unless either party provides the other party with notice prior to the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term; and (iii) Terra may revise its rates for the following Renewal Term by providing Customer with at least seven (7) days' written notice prior to the end of the then-current Initial Term or Renewal Term.3.3 Termination.(i) For Cause.

In addition, Terra may immediately suspend the Services in the event it determines or believes that (a) there is unauthorized access to the Services via Customer's account, (b) continued provision of the Services may do material harm to Terra or its networks or systems or reputation or subject Terra to liability, or (c) Customer materially breached the terms of this Agreement. For clarity, notice of termination for an Order shall not be construed to be notice of termination for this Agreement or for any other Order. (ii) Effect of Termination.Upon the expiration or termination of an Order, all rights granted to Customer with respect to such Order will terminate and Customer will immediately cease using the terminated Services or the applicable API Package (copies of which will be immediately returned to Terra or destroyed). The provisions of this Agreement that by their nature should survive termination, including but not limited to the sections on confidentiality, ownership, limitation of liability, and indemnification, will survive termination of the Order or this Agreement (as applicable).
CONFIDENTIALITYDuring the term of this Agreement, each party (a “Disclosing Party”) may disclose, under this Agreement, the other party (a “Receiving Party”) with confidential and/or proprietary materials and information of the first party (“Confidential Information”). All materials and information disclosed by Disclosing Party to Receiving Party under this Agreement and identified at the time of disclosure as “Confidential” or bearing a similar legend, and all such other information that the Receiving Party reasonably should have known was the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, will be considered Confidential Information.

At any time, upon Disclosing Party's request, Receiving Party will return to Disclosing Party all Disclosing Party's Confidential Information in its possession, including, without limitation, all copies and extracts thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to any third-party to the limited extent necessary to exercise its rights, or perform its obligations, under this Agreement; provided that, all such third parties are bound in writing by obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as protective of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information as this Agreement and (b) all Feedback and the API Package will be solely Terra's “Confidential Information.”

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Terra's aggregate liability in connection with each Order (including all liability under this agreement that arises as a result of such Order) will not exceed the amount paid or payable by customer to Terra during the six (6) month period prior to the event giving rise to liability (provided that, if no fees are paid or payable, such amounts will be limited to one hundred dollars (USD $100.00)).
