2.2 Changes to these TOS.  Subscriber’s use of and access to the Journey Platform is governed by these TOS which are posted at https://journeyid.com/terms-of-service-agreement/ or such successor site as designated by Journey.  Journey may modify these TOS at any time in its sole discretion by posting updates to these TOS at the designated site.  Modifications to these TOS may be required, for example, to address changes to laws applicable to the Journey Platform, modifications to the Journey Platform, and obligations imposed by suppliers and licensors.  Unless otherwise noted by Journey, material changes to these TOS will become effective 30 days after they are posted, except to the extent the changes apply to new functionality or are required by applicable law, in which case they will be effective immediately.  Subscriber’s continued access and use of the Journey Platform means that Subscriber accepts and agrees to any such modifications.  It is Subscriber’s responsibility to check for updates to these TOS.  In the event that Subscriber does not agree to a modification to these TOS that has a material adverse impact on Subscriber’s use of and access to the Journey Platform, Subscriber’s sole and exclusive remedy is to provide Journey with written notice, within thirty (30) days after the posting of such modified TOS, of its intent, based on the modifications to the TOS, to terminate its subscription and all use and access to the Journey Platform.  In the event Subscriber so notifies Journey, the Parties shall in good faith seek to resolve any disagreement with respect to the updated TOS and if they are unable to do so within fifteen (15) Business Days of such notice, these TOS and Subscriber’s subscription to the Journey Platform shall terminate, and Subscriber shall cease use of and access to the Journey Platform, effective as of the last day of the billing period during which Subscriber notified Journey of its intent to terminate.

Subscriber’s rights to access and use the Journey Platform are limited to those expressly granted in these TOS.  No other rights with respect to the Journey Platform, including associated software, tools and services, or any related Journey intellectual property are implied.  

2.4 Third-Party Products.  Journey may from time to time make Third-Party Products available to Subscriber.  For purposes of these TOS, such Third-Party Products are subject to their own terms and conditions and the applicable flow through provisions referred to in the Order Form.  If Subscriber does not agree to abide by the applicable terms for any such Third-Party Products, then Subscriber should not purchase, license, install or use such Third-Party Products.  In the event that Subscriber chooses to deploy certain software components that comprise the Journey Platform within Customer’s network environment, Subscriber acknowledges that such software may contain certain publicly available third party open source (“Third-Party Open Source”).  In addition to the terms of these TOS, Third-Party Open Source is subject to the relevant third party license, including the relevant proprietary notices, disclaimers, requirements and/or extended rights which are relevant to the Third-Party Open Source.  To the extent the terms of open source licenses applicable to Third-Party Open Source prohibit any of the restrictions in these TOS, such restrictions will not apply to such Third-Party Open Source.

3. SUBSCRIBER OBLIGATIONS.

3.1 System Requirements.  Use of the Journey Platform requires one or more compatible devices, Internet access (high speed recommended), and certain third-party software and services necessary for Subscriber and its Authorized Users to access and use the Journey Platform and may require obtaining updates or upgrades from time to time. Subscriber’s ability to use the Journey Platform may be affected by the performance of these factors. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that such system requirements, which may change from time to time, and any fees associated therewith, are Subscriber’s responsibility.     

3.2 Account Use. In connection with Subscriber’s subscription to the Journey Platform, Subscriber may authorize Authorized Users to access and use the Journey Platform in accordance with the usage limitations set forth in the applicable Order Form. Subscriber is responsible for all uses of the Journey Platform resulting from access provided by Subscriber, directly or indirectly, whether such access or use is permitted by or in violation of these TOS.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber is responsible for all acts and omissions of its Authorized Users and their compliance with these TOS. Any act or omission by an Authorized User that would constitute a breach of these TOS if taken by Subscriber will be deemed a breach of these TOS by Subscriber. Subscriber shall use reasonable efforts to make all Authorized Users aware of these TOS provisions as applicable to such Authorized User’s use of the Journey Platform and shall cause Authorized Users to comply with these TOS.  Subscriber is solely responsible for the confidentiality and use of the Authorized Users’ login credentials. Subscriber will promptly inform Journey of any need to deactivate an Authorized User or change any login credential information. Journey reserves the right to delete or change Authorized Users’ login credentials at any time and for any reason. Journey will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by any unauthorized use of an Authorized User’s account.

4. SERVICE AND SUPPORT; PLATFORM CHANGES; UNAVAILABILITY.

4.1 Service and Support.  During the Term of a subscription to the Journey Platform under these TOS, Journey will make available Journey Support for the Journey Platform in accordance with its then current Support terms available at https://journeyid.com/journey-support-engagement/ or such other URL as Journey may designate. This includes technical assistance, troubleshooting, and responding to Subscriber inquiries. Additionally, Journey offers best practices for password management, advising Authorized Users to use strong, unique passwords of at least 8 characters, update them regularly (at least every 90 days), and store them securely in a password manager. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) should be enabled where possible, and common or easily guessable passwords should be avoided. Authorized Users are also encouraged to monitor for any potential breaches and update their passwords immediately if a compromise is detected. These practices aim to enhance security and prevent unauthorized access to the Journey Platform.

4.2 Platform Changes.  Journey may, at its sole discretion, modify the features, or functionality of the Journey Platform from time to time, or discontinue, in part or it its entirety, the Journey Platform, without prior notice. Journey will inform Subscriber if Journey makes a material change to the Journey Platform, including associated software, tools, and services, if such change has a material adverse impact on Subscriber’s use of the Journey Platform.  Such notification will be provided via posting on the Website or via email provided that Subscriber has subscribed to be informed about such change.

4.3 Unavailability.  The Journey Platform will be made available by Journey subject to any unavailability caused by: (a) circumstances beyond Journey’s reasonable control, including any force majeure events as contemplated in Section 13.4; (b) or any computer, communications, Internet service or hosting facility failures or delays involving hardware, software, power, other systems or services not within Journey’s possession or reasonable control; (c) denial of service attacks; or (d) Third Party Products. The Platform may be temporarily limited, interrupted or curtailed due to maintenance, repair, modifications, upgrades or relocation. Journey shall attempt to notify Subscriber of scheduled and unscheduled network outages that are expected to last more than four (4) hours, such notices to be published at www.journeyid.com.

4.4 PCI Responsibility Acknowledgement. Journey acknowledges responsibility for the security of cardholder data being processed, to the extent it could impact the security of the cardholder data environment. This responsibility includes ensuring that all necessary safeguards and controls are in place to protect the cardholder data in compliance with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) requirements.

5. FEES AND PAYMENT.

5.1 Fees. If Subscriber purchases a subscription to the Journey Platform via a Journey authorized reseller, applicable fee arrangements for such subscription are as agreed between Subscriber and the authorized reseller.  If Subscriber purchases a subscription to the Journey Platform directly from Journey, Subscriber shall pay Journey all applicable Fees, including without limitation subscription fees, one-time set up fees, and reimbursable expenses, as set forth on and in accordance with these TOS and the Order Form and without deduction or set-off.  Unless otherwise expressly provided in these TOS or in an Order Form, all Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable.  Subscription Fees will be invoiced upon acceptance of the applicable Order Form.  Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Order Form, all Fees and payments due hereunder are in U.S. dollars and will be due within 30 days after the date of Subscriber’s receipt of each invoice. If Subscriber wishes to dispute an invoice, it must provide written notice to Journey with details of the disputed amount and bases for the dispute, within 30 days after the date of Subscriber’s receipt of the invoice.  If Subscriber is in default of making any payment due to Journey, then Journey may, without prejudice to other remedies available, assess a late payment charge, at the lower rate of 1.5% per month, or the maximum rate under applicable law, and/or suspend access to the Journey Platform, and such failure to pay will be considered a material breach of these TOS. If at any time Journey suspends or disables access to the Journey Platform (as applicable) for non-payment, Journey may charge a reactivation fee to reinstate the Subscriber. 

5.2 Taxes. The Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, such as VAT and applicable sales tax (collectively “Taxes”) which are the responsibility of Subscriber.  Upon making a determination that any Taxes apply, Journey will invoice Subscriber for such Taxes and remit any payments made on any such invoice directly to the appropriate taxing authorities; provided that any failure by Journey to include such Taxes on an invoice shall not relieve Subscriber of responsibility for any such applicable Taxes. Subscriber shall promptly reimburse Journey for any and all Taxes that Journey is required to pay in connection with these TOS or Journey’s performance hereunder.  Nothing in these TOS requires either Party to pay any income taxes or similar charges of the other Party.

6. TERM, TERMINATION, AND SUSPENSION.

6.1 Term. These TOS shall be effective as of the earlier of the date accepted by Subscriber, Subscriber’s first use of or access to the Journey Platform, or commencement of the Initial Term of Subscriber’s subscription to the Journey Platform (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with the terms of these TOS.  Either Party may terminate these TOS upon written notice to the other Party if there is no Order Form currently in effect as of the date of such termination.  Each Order Form will terminate upon expiration of the Term of the applicable subscription, unless expressly stated otherwise in the Order Form or in these TOS.    

6.2 Termination of an Order Form. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, after the Initial Term, a subscription for access to and use of the Journey Platform shall automatically renew for successive Renewal Terms at then-current rates, unless either Party provides a written notice of non-renewal not less than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration or termination of the then current Term.  Subscriptions purchased through an authorized Journey reseller shall be subject to the renewal terms agreed between Subscriber and the reseller unless otherwise agreed between Subscriber and Journey.  

6.3 Termination for Cause. If either Party commits a material breach of its obligations under these TOS, or under an applicable Order Form, the other Party may terminate these TOS or the affected Order Form (as applicable), by providing the other Party with thirty (30) days’ prior notice detailing such breach and an opportunity to cure the breach within such thirty (30) day period.    If Journey terminates under this provision, then in addition to any other rights Journey may have, Subscriber will be responsible for all subscription fees for the Journey Platform for the remainder of the applicable Term.

6.4 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of these TOS: (i) all rights granted hereunder to Subscriber and Subscriber’s Authorized Users will immediately cease, and Subscriber and Subscriber’s Authorized Users will immediately cease all access to and use of the non-public portions of the Website, the Journey Platform and Documentation; and (ii) Subscriber will promptly pay all unpaid Fees and Taxes due through the end of the Term.  Any terms or sections which by their nature should reasonably survive will survive the termination or expiration of these TOS or an Order Form.

7. DATA PROTECTION.

Content will be submitted to the Journey Platform in encrypted form.  Subscriber will not provide Journey with access to decryption keys, and Journey will have no liability in the event that Subscriber provides such access to Journey.

Subscriber agrees that Journey shall immediately notify Subscriber of any data breach that may affect Subscriber’s personal data and provide reasonable cooperation in any breach investigation or remediation efforts.

7.4 Usage and Aggregated Data. Journey may monitor the performance and use of the Website and the Journey Platform by its subscribers and customers and collect data regarding such performance and use (“Usage Data”).  Journey may use Usage Data to develop, improve, support, and operate the Journey Platform and related products and services during and after the term of these TOS and to verify Subscriber’s usage in compliance with these TOS.  Journey may not share any Usage Data with a third party except: i) if such Usage Data includes Confidential Information of Subscriber, in accordance with Section 9 (Confidentiality) of these TOS; and (ii) to the extent Usage Data is aggregated and anonymized such that Subscriber, its Authorized Users, and Subscriber Customers cannot reasonably be identified.  Journey may combine performance and use data from its subscribers and use such combined data to create and derive aggregated and/or anonymized data that does not identify Subscriber, its Authorized Users, or Subscriber Customers (“Aggregated Data”). Journey may collect, use, and publish such Aggregated Data for the purpose of creating aggregated and anonymized statistics regarding Journey’s customer base, for benchmarking purposes, improving the Journey Platform, and for sharing it with Journey’s prospective customers and business partners.

8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

8.1 Feedback. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Journey may freely use and incorporate into Journey’s products and services any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, corrections, or other feedback provided by Subscriber or by any Authorized Users relating to Journey’s products or services (“Feedback”).  All Feedback is provided without warranties.  

8.2 Journey Technology. All right, title, and interest (including all patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property rights) in and to the Website, the Documentation, the Journey Platform, Usage Data and Aggregated Data, and any and all related and underlying technology and documentation; and any derivative works, modifications, improvements, adaptations, enhancements, or translations of any of the foregoing, including any Feedback that may be incorporated (“Journey Technology”), shall be and remain Journey’s and/or Journey’s suppliers’ exclusive property. Except for the express limited rights set forth in these TOS, no right, title, or interest in any Journey Technology is granted to Subscriber, its Authorized Users, or Subscriber Customers.  

9. CONFIDENTIALITY.

9.1 Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means any non-public data, information and other materials regarding the products, software, services, or business of a party (and/or, if either party is bound to protect the confidentiality of any third party’s information, of a third party) provided by or made available by one Party (“Disclosing Party”), either directly or indirectly through third parties, to the other party (“Receiving Party”) where the information is marked or otherwise communicated as being “proprietary” or “confidential” or the like, or where the information should, by its nature, be reasonably considered to be confidential and/or proprietary.  The Parties agree that without limiting the foregoing, the Journey Platform (and any performance data, benchmark results, and technical information relating thereto), the Website, the Documentation, and Journey’s pricing information will be deemed the Confidential Information of Journey.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available without fault of the Receiving Party; (b) is documented as being known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (c) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference or access to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; or (d) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without restrictions on use or disclosure.

 

9.2 Confidentiality Obligations. At all times, the Receiving Party will protect and preserve the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, using no less care than that with which it protects and preserves its own confidential and proprietary information of a similar nature (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care), and will not use the Confidential Information for any purpose except to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under these TOS. The Receiving Party may disclose, distribute, or disseminate the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any of its officers, directors, members, managers, partners, employees, contractors, or agents (its “Representatives”), provided that the Receiving Party reasonably believes that its Representatives have a need to know and such Representatives are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those contained herein. The Receiving Party will not disclose, distribute, or disseminate the Confidential Information to any third party, other than its Representatives, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party will ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Confidential Information, including ensuring compliance with applicable privacy regulations, and will notify the Disclosing Party in the event of any unauthorized access, disclosure, or breach of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will at all times remain responsible for any violations of these TOS by any of its Representatives. If the Receiving Party is legally compelled to disclose any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party prompt prior written notice of such requirement (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance should the Disclosing Party seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy to limit disclosure of the Confidential Information. Such compelled disclosure shall not be a violation of these terms governing protection of Confidential Information, and any information so disclosed will continue to be protected as Confidential Information for all other purposes.

9.3 Return or Destruction. Upon termination of these TOS, or upon a Party’s written request, the Parties shall cease all use of the other Party’s Confidential Information and shall at the other Party’s written request, either promptly return, or destroy, all Confidential Information, including any copies, in tangible form or in an erasable storage medium in that Party’s possession or under its control; provided that Journey may retain copies of its work product hereunder containing Company’s Confidential Information for archival purposes subject to the terms of this Section 9. 

9.4 Ownership and License. Each Party shall retain all right, title and interest to such Party’s Confidential Information. No license under any trademark, patent or copyright, or application for same which is in existence as of the Effective Date or thereafter, is either granted or implied by the disclosure of Confidential Information.

10. WARRANTIES; DISCLAIMERS AND INDEMNITY.

12.2 Subscriber’s Defense and Indemnification Obligations.  Subscriber will defend and indemnify Journey and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contactors, suppliers, licensors, partners and agents (each, a “Journey Indemnified Party”) against third party claims brought against a Journey Indemnified Party arising from (a) Subscriber’s breach of these TOS; (b) Subscriber’s violation of applicable law; (c) Content or Subscriber data (including personal data), or the combination of Content or Subscriber data with other applications, content, or processes (including, but not limited to any claim involving infringement or misappropriation of third party rights); (d) Subscriber’s use of the Journey Platform, Website, or Documentation, (e) a dispute between Subscriber and any client, verifier, or dispute between Subscriber and any third party with whom Subscriber uses the Journey Platform to interact including Subscriber Customers, or (f) Subscriber’s, or its employees’ or agents’, or Authorized Users’ negligence or willful misconduct.  Subscriber will defend and indemnity the applicable Journey Indemnified Party against all damages and costs finally awarded against the Journey Indemnified Party by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed upon in a settlement approved by Subscriber resulting from such a claim.

12.3 Indemnification Procedures.  The Party against whom a third party claim is brought will: (a) timely notify the other Party in writing of the claim (provided, that the failure to provide timely notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 12 unless the indemnifying party’s defense of such claim is materially prejudiced by such failure); and (b) reasonably cooperate in the defense of the claim and may participate in the defense of the claim at its own expense.  The Party that is obligated to defend a claim will have the right to fully control the defense and to settle the claim; provided, however, that any settlement of a claim shall not include a financial or specific performance obligation on, or admission of liability by, the party against whom the claim is brought.

12.4 Sole Remedy.  THE FOREGOING STATES THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY’S ENTIRE LIABILITY, AND THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, WITH RESPECT TO ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY THIRD PARTIES.  THE FOREGOING ALSO IS IN LIEU OF, AND JOURNEY DISCLAIMS, ALL WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE JOURNEY PLATFORM AND ANY OTHER JOURNEY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

13. GENERAL

13.1 Independent Contractor. The Parties are independent contractors. These TOS do not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the Parties.

13.2 Language. These TOS are in the English language. Versions in any other language will be for accommodation only, and only the English language version will be binding upon the Parties hereto.

13.3 Export Restrictions. Subscriber acknowledges that the Journey Platform, or portions thereof, may be subject to the export control laws of the United States. Subscriber will not export, re-export, divert, transfer, or disclose any portion of the Journey Platform, Journey Technology, or any related technical information or materials, directly or indirectly, in violation of any applicable export law or regulation.

13.4 Force Majeure. Except for payment obligations, neither Party will be responsible for failure of performance due to causes beyond its reasonable control. Such causes include (without limitation) accidents, severe weather events, acts of God, labor disputes, actions of any government agency, epidemic, pandemic, shortage of materials, acts of terrorism, unavailability of third-party hosting services, or the stability or availability of the Internet or connectivity outside of the control of a Party.

13.5 Injunctive Relief and Cumulative Remedies. Nothing in these TOS will be construed to preclude either Party from seeking provisional and equitable remedies, including but not limited to temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions from any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided in these TOS, any and all of the rights and remedies specified herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy conferred by these TOS or by law or equity, and the exercise of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other. 

13.6 Affiliates. Subject to Journey’s prior written approval, any Subscriber Affiliate may make a purchase hereunder, provided that the Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of these TOS and any Affiliate incorporates these TOS by reference into their order. Subscriber shall remain jointly liable for the performance of its Affiliates’ hereunder.

13.7 Notices. All notices to be made or given pursuant to these TOS must be in writing in the English language and addressed to the Parties at the addresses designated by each respective Party from time to time in accordance with this Section.  In the case of Journey, notices are to be given to Journey at the address set forth on the first page of these TOS unless Journey provides written notice of an updated address.  In the case of Subscriber, notices are to be given to Subscriber at the Subscriber address included in the Order Form. All notices must be delivered by personal delivery, nationally recognized overnight courier (with all fees pre-paid), or email with confirmation of transmission, or certified or registered mail (in each case, return receipt requested, postage pre-paid).  Except as otherwise provided in these TOS, a notice is effective only: (i) upon receipt by the receiving Party; and (ii) if the Party giving the notice has complied with the requirements of this Section.  

13.8 Assignment. Journey may assign these TOS (or any of its rights and obligations under these TOS): a) to any of its Affiliates; or (b) in connection with any merger, consolidation, reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any similar transaction. Any other assignment of these TOS (and any Order Form) or any rights or obligations under these TOS without the express written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld) will be invalid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Journey may subcontract obligations under these TOS provided that Journey will retain responsibility for the work of its subcontractors.

13.9 Waiver and Severability. Failure by either Party to exercise any of its rights under, or to enforce any provision of, these TOS will not be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of such rights or ability to enforce such provision in the future. In the event that a provision of these TOS is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall nonetheless be enforced in accordance with their terms. Further, in the event that any provision is held to be overbroad as written, such provision shall be deemed amended to narrow its application to the extent necessary to make the provision enforceable according to applicable law and shall be enforced as amended.

13.10 U.S. Government End User Purchasers. Software provided by Journey to use the Journey Platform, if any, and associated documentation are “commercial items,” as defined at Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) (48 C.F.R.) 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in FAR 12.212. Consistent with FAR 12.211 (Technical Data) and FAR 12.212 (Computer Software) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (“DFAR”) 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, and notwithstanding any other FAR or other contractual clause to the contrary in any agreement into which these TOS may be incorporated, Government end users will acquire, such software and associated documentation with only those rights set forth in these TOS. Any license provisions that are inconsistent with federal procurement regulations are not enforceable against the U.S. Government.

All proceedings related to these TOS shall be conducted in English.
