These Nosto Terms of Service (“Agreement”) are entered into by and between the entity placing an order for, or accessing, any Services (“Customer”) and  “Nosto” (Nosto Solutions Ltd, or the applicable Nosto Solutions entity which is a party to any applicable Order Form)  ). “Services” means Nosto’s proprietary software-as-a-service solution(s) as described in the applicable Order Form.. These terms shall apply from the date that is the earlier of: (a) Customer’s initial access to any Services  through any online provisioning, registration or order process or (b) the effective date of the relevant Order Form. 

From time to time, Nosto may modify this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified by Nosto, changes become effective for Customer upon renewal of Customer’s current Subscription Term, or entry into a new Order Form. Nosto will use reasonable efforts to notify Customer of the changes through communications via Customer’s account, email or other means. Continued use of the Services after the updated version of this Agreement goes into effect will constitute Customer’s acceptance of such updated version. If Nosto specifies that material changes to the Agreement will take effect prior to Customer’s next renewal or new Order Form (such as for legal compliance reasons) and Customer objects to such changes, Customer may terminate the Subscription Term on notice in writing to Nosto and receive as its sole remedy a refund of any fees Customer has pre-paid for use of the applicable Services for the terminated portion of the Subscription Term, commencing on the date notice of termination was received.

If Customer is required by Law to withhold any Taxes from Customer’s payment, the fees payable by Customer will be increased as necessary so that after making any required withholdings, Nosto receives and retains (free from any liability for payment of Taxes) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such withholdings been made.

9.1. Limited Warranty. Nosto warrants that the Services will operate in substantial conformity with the applicable Documentation. Nosto’s sole liability (and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy) for any breach of this warranty will be, at no charge to Customer, for Nosto to use best commercially reasonable efforts to correct the reported non-conformity. If Nosto determines such remedy to be impracticable and the non-conformity is material, Customer may terminate the applicable Subscription Term and Customer will receive as its sole remedy a refund of any fees Customer has pre-paid for use of the Services for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term. The limited warranty set forth in this Section 9.1 will not apply if the error was caused by misuse, unauthorized modifications or third-party hardware, software or services.

9.2. Warranty Disclaimer. Except for the limited warranty in Section 9.1, all services are provided “as is”. Neither Nosto nor its suppliers make any other warranties, express or implied, statutory or otherwise, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, title, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.

10. Liability Limitation

The aggregate total liability of Nosto towards you in respect of any cause of action relating to or arising out of the Services is at all times limited to the fees and expenses paid by you to us hereunder during the three (3) months immediately prior to the date on which the cause of loss or damage giving rise to the claim arose.

The aforesaid limitations do not apply to loss or damage arising out of gross negligence or willful misconduct. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential or certain other damages, so the above limitation and exclusions may not apply to you.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us (and our subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees or partners) harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of this Agreement, your use of the Services (including any actions taken by a third party using your account), or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party. In the event of such a claim, suit, or action (“Claim”), we will attempt to provide notice of the Claim to the contact information we have for your account (provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not eliminate or reduce your indemnification obligations hereunder).
