3. Third Party Applications and Services.
redIQ may make available to Customer optional third-party applications, services or data for use in connection with the redIQ Service for which a separate charge may apply as specified in the Order or in the User Guide (“Third Party Products”). Customer’s use of any Third-Party Products may be subject to a separate end-user license agreement (“EULA”) from the third-party vendor which will govern Customer’s use of the Third-Party Products. redIQ makes no warranties of any kind and assumes no liability whatsoever for Customer’s use of (or inability to use) Third Party Products, which are made available by redIQ “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE” and “WITH ALL FAULTS”.
4. Security of Customer Data
4.1 Data Security. During the Term of this Agreement, redIQ will use due diligence to implement and maintain commercially reasonable administrative, physical and technical safeguards and measures designed to protect against unauthorized access to Customer Data as described more fully in redIQ’s Data Security Practices located at https://rediq.com/data-security. REDIQ DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SYSTEM WILL BE ENTIRELY FREE FROM MALWARE OR DATA SECURITY THREATS, SINCE ATTACK VECTORS ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING.
4.2 Customer Data Storage Location. The redIQ Service is provided from the United States and Customer Data is stored in the United States. redIQ may use its service Affiliate in India to convert into usable form property rent rolls, operating statements and certain other data entry and related technical services in support of the Service and may transfer Customer Data to and from its Indian Affiliate in secure form for such limited purpose. Customer is advised to make regular backups of its Customer Data.
5. Customer Responsibilities
5.1 Establishment of Accounts. Customer will appoint an Administrator who shall be responsible for: (a) configuring the Customer’s settings of the redIQ Service; (b) managing any Customer devices and systems needed to access the Service; (c) assigning and managing Customer’s User Accounts and (d) enforcing and managing User access controls and permissions in accordance with Customer’s own information system security policies and applicable law. redIQ support personnel will never ask for Customer’s passwords. Customer will ensure that Users do not share their password or other login credentials with any other person or permit any other person to log on as such User. If a User’s login credentials become compromised, Customer will promptly notify redIQ’s support desk.
5.2 Customer Data. Our Privacy Policy describes our privacy practices with respect to Personal Information collected from visitors to our website and subscribers to our Service. This Agreement governs our use of Customer Data (including Personal Information) to operate the Service based on the specific features Customer subscribes to and what activities Customer participates in, as follows:
(a) Generally. As between the Parties, Customer Data shall at all times remain the exclusive property of Customer. Customer will: (a) be solely responsible for the nature, quality and accuracy of the Customer Data; (b) ensure that the Customer Data complies with the terms of this Agreement and all applicable laws and regulations; (c) promptly handle and resolve any notices and claims relating to the Customer Data (e.g. take-down notices pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act); and (d) ensure that it has the rights to the Customer Data in order to grant redIQ the rights contemplated by this Agreement. redIQ has no liability to Customer or any third party as a result of: (i) any unauthorized disclosure or access to a User’s Account or Customer Data as a result of Customer’s misuse of the redIQ Service or loss of any User password or login credentials by a User; (ii) any deletion, destruction, damage or loss of Customer Data caused by or at the direction of Customer; or (iii) any failure of Customer to maintain adequate security or Malware controls in any devices used to access the redIQ Service or to store back-ups of Customer Data.
(b) Sharing Deal Level Data. Customer has the option of sharing Deal Level Data and Physical Property Data it has uploaded to the Service with third parties and may receive such data from third parties who choose to share it with Customer. If Customer communicates with another user, that user may obtain certain Personal Information about Customer (e.g., Customer’s name and contact information). If Customer obtains Deal Level Data from a third party and adds that Deal to Customer’s redIQ account, the user who originally shared the Deal on the Service will be able to see certain Personal Information about Customer, such as Customer’s full name, job title, company, the number of times Customer viewed the Deal, the types of changes Customer made to the transaction assumptions (e.g., the fact that Customer changed some expense and occupancy assumptions, but not the specific changes Customer made to those assumptions unless Customer consents to sharing such information). If a colleague forwards to Customer a link to a Deal that is shared by a third party (including correct authentication information, if the link has been password protected), it is the original third party who initially shared the Deal (not your colleague) who would be able to see Customer’s Personal Information and activity described above. If Customer shares a Deal with a third party, Customer (and redIQ) lose control over the information contained in that Deal.
(c) Optional Participation in redIQ Data Pools: The Service contains a Property Specific Data Pool and an Anonymized Data Pool (collectively, the “redIQ Data Pools”) that contain a repository of data obtained exclusively from redIQ users who agree to contribute Customer Data in exchange for access to premium features of the Service. Some features of the Service may only function, or function fully, if the Customer opts-in to the redIQ Data Pools. Customer may opt-out of participating in the redIQ Data Pools by having its Administrator indicate in the Account Settings. If Customer does participate, then redIQ may add Customer Data to the redIQ Data Pools and use it on a non-exclusive, sub-licensable, worldwide, royalty-free basis as follows:
- The Service may use anonymized Physical Property Data to provide redIQ Analytic Reports, redIQ Models, Derived Data, and features of the Service to other customers and users. The data disclosed to other users will not contain any property names, tenant names, occupancy status information, or financial information pertaining to specific properties (the “Property Specific Data Pool”).
- The Service may aggregate all anonymized Physical Property Data and Deal Level Data into a broader data pool and share it with redIQ’s users in redIQ Analytic Reports, redIQ Models, Derived Data, and other features of the Service to other customers and users at a macro, non-property specific level on an anonymous basis (the “Anonymized Data Pool”).
(i) Prospective Opting-Out. If Customer participates in the redIQ Data Pools, it may later opt-out prospectively at any time by giving redIQ notice as specified in the User Guide. During any period of participation, Customer Data uploaded to the Service is irrevocably added to the redIQ Data Pools. Once Customer Data is contributed to the redIQ Data Pools, it is not feasible later to re-identify and remove it. Customer acknowledges that redIQ’s license to use Customer Data previously contributed to the redIQ Data Pools is irrevocable. For the avoidance of doubt, a decision by Customer to opt-out will only stop new contributions of such Customer Data into the Data Pools after redIQ has a reasonable opportunity to implement the request. Customer Data in the redIQ Data Pools may be used in other offerings in the redIQ Service and in digital offerings of its Affiliates in the form permitted by this Agreement.
5.3 Notification of Unauthorized Use. Customer will promptly notify redIQ in writing of any unauthorized use of any Account, Customer Data or the redIQ Service that comes to Customer’s attention and will provide prompt cooperation as reasonably requested by redIQ. RedIQ may rely on electronic instructions received through Customer’s Administrator Account until such time, if any, that redIQ’s support desk receives notice that Customer’s login credentials have been compromised.
6. Support and Maintenance.
Customer’s subscription to the Service includes at no additional charge access to the online Support features of our website, including the User Guide, FAQs, Knowledge Base and access to our Support desk. In addition, Customer’s subscription includes at no additional cost periodic updates that redIQ in its sole discretion makes to the subscribed features, such as changes to the user interface, navigation and minor improvements which will supersede existing features at the time they are generally commercially released. From time to time, redIQ may in its sole discretion remove, simplify or consolidate features or release substantial new or different features, capabilities or product offerings, some of which may be outside the scope of the then-current version of the redIQ Service and require an additional subscription and payment of fees. redIQ will give reasonable advance notice to Customer’s Administrative Contact through the Administrative Console or by email of Scheduled Downtime in which the redIQ Service may be unavailable. Downtime occasioned by Force Majeure Events or on an emergency basis shall be accompanied by notice that is reasonable under the circumstances.
7. Warranty and Disclaimer
7.1 Service Warranty; Exclusive Remedies. redIQ warrants solely to Customer that, during the Subscription Period, the redIQ Service will perform substantially in accordance with the User Guide under normal use by Customer in compliance with this Agreement. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and redIQ’s entire liability for a breach of this warranty shall be for redIQ to use commercially reasonable efforts to modify the redIQ Service or otherwise resolve the reported issue to conform to this warranty. redIQ may not be able to correct all errors in the Service and is not responsible for errors caused by Customer or deficiencies in Customer software or equipment. If redIQ is unable after reasonable attempts to correct material errors that substantially deprive Customer of the beneficial use of the Service, Customer may as its sole and exclusive remedy exercise its right to terminate the applicable Order and receive a pro-rated refund. There are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and the warranties set forth herein are made for the benefit of the named Customer only.
7.2 Customer Warranties. Customer represents and warrants to redIQ that Customer owns or has all requisite rights to the Customer Data needed by redIQ and Customer to operate the Service and perform this Agreement (including any optional participation by Customer in the redIQ Data Pools and the granting of license rights to use Customer Data therein for the purposes described in this Agreement).
7.3 Disclaimer of Warranties. THE SERVICE (INCLUDING REDIQ ANALYTIC REPORTS, REDIQ MODELS AND APIs) MAY CONTAIN ERRORS AND OMISSIONS, SHOULD BE INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED BY CUSTOMER AND CANNOT SUBSTITUTE FOR CUSTOMER’S EXERCISE OF DUE DILIGENCE AND INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT. REDIQ AND ITS SUPPLIERS DO NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING THE ACCURACY, QUALITY, AVAILABILITY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE SERVICE, ANY REDIQ MODELS OR OUTPUT OBTAINED FROM IT. THE SERVICE WARRANTY PROVIDED IN SECTION 7.1 AND THE SERVICE LEVEL CREDITS ARE THE LIMITED AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES IN THE EVENT OF A MATERIAL BREACH. REDIQ WILL USE GOOD FAITH EFFORTS TO IMPLEMENT ITS DATA PROTECTION PLAN DESCRIBED IN THIS AGREEMENT BUT CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT ITS EFFORTS OR THE SERVICE ARE ENTIRELY EFFECTIVE IN SECURING THE SERVICE FROM ALL THREATS, WHICH ARE CONSTANTLY EVOLVING. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PRICE FOR THE SERVICE REFLECTS THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK AND SUCH RISK HAS BEEN FACTORED INTO THE AGREEMENT AS A WHOLE.
TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, REDIQ DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION: (A) THOSE ARISING OUT OF ANY COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE; (B) WARRANTIES OF: (I) SATISFACTORY QUALITY; (II) FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; (III) NON-INFRINGEMENT; OR (IV) INTEROPERABILITY WITH THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES; (C) THAT THE REDIQ SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS AND (D) THAT CUSTOMER DATA WILL BE SECURE, AVAILABLE OR NOT OTHERWISE LOST OR DAMAGED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IN SUCH AN EVENT, THE ABOVE EXCLUSION WILL NOT APPLY SOLELY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW.
8. Proprietary Rights
8.1 Customer Data Ownership. As between Customer and redIQ, Customer or its licensors exclusively own all right, title and interest in and to all Customer Data. Customer hereby grants redIQ the right to transmit, process, use and disclose the Customer Data solely to provide the redIQ Service to Customer, to any User or to third parties as specified in this Agreement. If Customer participates in the redIQ Data Pools, the license granted by Customer to redIQ to use Customer Data submitted during the period of participation in those redIQ Data Pools is irrevocable and will survive Customer’s opting out of such participation or termination of this Agreement with respect to previously submitted Customer Data. Customer will use due diligence to make regular backups of all Customer Data and store them offline from the Service.
8.2 Ownership of redIQ Service. As between redIQ and Customer, redIQ or its licensors own and reserve all right, title and interest in and to, including any improvements or derivatives, the redIQ Service, redIQ Models, redIQ Data, redIQ Analytic Reports (except Customer Data contained therein), redIQ trademarks and other features of the redIQ Service. The Service is licensed and not “sold” to Customer. No title to or ownership of any proprietary rights related to the redIQ Service is transferred to Customer pursuant to this Agreement. All rights not expressly granted to Customer are reserved by redIQ. Any Feedback provided by Customer shall be deemed assigned to and become the exclusive property of redIQ and may be used without financial or other legal obligation to Customer.
9. Training or Consulting Services.
Training and consulting services are available to our enterprise level customers. Please contact redIQ if you would like to upgrade to an enterprise agreement.
10. Fees and Payment
10.1 Fees. Customer will pay all fees specified in Orders according to this Agreement. The Order will specify any licensing metrics applicable to Customer (and any authorized Affiliates). Unless otherwise specified in an Order, all fees are payable each Subscription Period in advance in U.S. Dollars and are non-cancelable and non-refundable. All fees are based on Service features ordered and not on actual usage.
10.2 Invoicing and Payment Terms.
(a) Payment for Invoiced Orders. Customer will pay all fees net thirty (30) days from receipt of redIQ’s electronic invoice unless otherwise specified in an Order. If Customer disputes any invoice, it will provide written notice of the reason for the dispute, will itemize the disputed amount and will timely pay any undisputed portion when due. The Parties will cooperate to resolve any disputed items within fifteen (15) days. All amounts due and payable by Customer under this Agreement will be made without set-off, deduction or withholding. Customer will promptly reimburse redIQ for its reasonable legal fees, court costs and expenses to collect any past due amount, which shall accrue interest at one (1) percent per month until paid.
(b) Payment for Orders with Linked Payment Method. For certain subscriptions, add-ons or products, Customer may be required to link an online payment method at the time of the Order, so that payments may be processed automatically when due. These offerings may be available to purchase and activate from within an online Customer portal.
10.3 Taxes. Prices do not include and Customer will pay any transaction taxes, such as local, state, provincial, federal or foreign taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including sales, use, value-added taxes (“VAT”), excise, goods and services taxes, consumption taxes, professional or occupational license fees measured by revenue or similar taxes, other than taxes based on redIQ’s net income or profits (collectively, “Taxes”). All fees are payable in full and without reduction for Taxes, which will be determined based on Customer’s address listed in the Order. If Customer claims an exemption from any Taxes, Customer will provide redIQ in a timely manner with a valid tax exemption certificate. If an audit subsequently assesses Taxes, Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold redIQ harmless from such Taxes, including interest and penalties imposed thereon.
10.3 Administrative Suspension for Non-payment. If any invoices are unpaid more than thirty (30) days beyond their due date, or redIQ is unable to charge a linked payment method, redIQ may upon ten (10) days’ written notice suspend Customer’s access to the redIQ Service, without liability to Customer. redIQ may condition any resumption of Service upon payment of past due amounts and Customer providing adequate assurance of future performance of its payment obligations.
11. Term and Termination
11.1 Term of Agreement. This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will remain in effect for three (3) years or such longer period for which there is an Order then in effect (“Term”), unless otherwise terminated as provided herein. Each Order will be in effect for a Subscription Period of one (1) year from the Service Start Date shown on the Order unless otherwise stated therein and shall thereupon terminate.
11.2 Automatic Renewal. Except as expressly stated in an Order executed by the Parties, Customer’s Subscription Term shall automatically renew for the same Subscription Term (but not less than one (1) year) at redIQ’s then-current undiscounted rates, unless Customer provides notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Subscription Term.
11.3 Termination for Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other Party for a material breach of this Agreement if such breach remains uncured after the expiration of such period. If the breach is not capable of being cured (e.g., breach of confidentiality) then this Agreement may be terminated on written notice.
11.4 Termination for Insolvency. Either Party may suspend or terminate this Agreement if the other Party becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or becomes subject to a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding (“Insolvency Proceeding”). Customer acknowledges that the redIQ Service is a service, not a good, provided on a pro rata daily basis over the Term. Any use of the redIQ Service by Customer after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding is an actual, necessary cost and expense of preserving Customer’s estate. Customer agrees that nothing herein shall limit redIQ’s rights of offset or recoupment and that redIQ is entitled to offset or recoup the value of redIQ Service provided after Customer becomes subject to an Insolvency Proceeding against any claim brought by or on behalf of Customer, including any state or federal preference, fraudulent transfer or other avoidance action.
11.5 Post-Termination Obligations. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, Customer will have no further rights to access or use the redIQ Service (including redIQ Models). Within thirty (30) days prior to termination or expiration of this Agreement (or as otherwise reasonably agreed by redIQ in writing), and regardless of whether a dispute may exist between the Parties, Customer may request a bulk download of its Customer Data in electronic format. After such termination or expiration date, any remaining Customer Data may be permanently deleted by redIQ. Notwithstanding the foregoing, redIQ may continue using Customer Data previously submitted by Customer to the redIQ Data Pools in perpetuity, since once such contributed data is anonymized, it is not possible to re-identify or remove it from the Pools.
11.6 Surviving Provisions. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, the following sections will survive: Sections 1 (“Definitions”), 5.2 (“Customer Data”), 7.3 (“Disclaimer of Warranties”), 8 (“Proprietary Rights”), 10 (“Fees and Payments”), 11.5 (“Post Termination Obligations”), 11.6 (“Surviving Provisions”), 12 (“Indemnification”), 13 (“Limitation of Liability”), 14 (“Confidentiality”) and 15 (“Miscellaneous”) and any other provision which, by its nature, should survive
12. Indemnification
12.1 IP Indemnification by redIQ. redIQ will defend Customer against any third-party claim that the redIQ Service infringes a United States registered patent, trademark, or copyright of a third party, or misappropriates a trade secret and will indemnify Customer for the resulting costs and damages finally awarded against Customer to such third party by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to by redIQ in settlement. redIQ will have no liability to Customer under this Section for any claim that arises out of: (a) any unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of the redIQ Service by Customer; (b) use of the redIQ Service in combination with any other products, technology, process, software or equipment not supplied by redIQ if such claim would have been avoided without such combination; (c) any modification or alteration of the redIQ Service by anyone other than redIQ or redIQ’s authorized agents without the written approval of redIQ; (d) any Customer Data or (e) Customer’s bulk downloading of data from the Service in violation of this Agreement or use of the Service as a substitute for any pre-existing data license to which Customer is a party in order to obtain data elements. With respect to an indemnified claim governed by this Section, redIQ will (at redIQ’s option and expense): (i) obtain for Customer the right to continue using the redIQ Service; (ii) modify the redIQ Service to make it non-infringing; or (iii) if subsections (i) and (ii) are not commercially viable (as determined by redIQ in its sole discretion), terminate this Agreement, in which case Customer will be entitled to a pro-rated refund of any fees pre-paid by Customer for the corresponding unused period of the applicable Subscription Period.
12.2 Indemnification by Customer. Customer will defend redIQ against any third-party claim: (a) that any Customer Data or use of it as contemplated in this Agreement (including sharing of Deal Level Data or participation in the redIQ Data Pools) infringes a patent, trademark, or copyright, or misappropriates a trade secret or violates any privacy right or legal obligation; (b) arising from Customer’s use of the redIQ Service in violation of Section 2.2 (Acceptable Use of the redIQ Service); (c) any material breach by Customer of a EULA governing Third Party Product(s) used by Customer with the Service, and (d) any claim by a pre-existing third party data licensor that Customer has used the Service as a substitute for a data license with such vendor to obtain data elements. Customer will, with respect to any claim against redIQ that is subject to this Section, indemnify redIQ for the resulting costs and damages finally awarded against redIQ to such third party by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in settlement.
