The AltExchange Platform refers to the tools and services offered to Registered Users of AltExchange, including its wholly-owned subsidiaries and affiliates. This includes any and all of the Content thereon and services provided by AltExchange on or in conjunction with websites wholly owned by AltExchange, including but not limited to, application program interfaces (“APIs”), storage, email, professional services, and collaboration services. Such tools and services include, but are not limited to, the offerings on the following websites:

  3. REGISTERED USERS

    3.1. Accredited Investors: If you represent to AltExchange that you are an Accredited Investor (as defined by U.S. Security and Exchange Commission guidelines), you may use the AltExchange Platform to access the functions specified in your subscription including uploading your Confidential Information, using the various functions of the SaaS, and making your Confidential Information available to authorized third parties. 

    3.2. Advisors:  If you represent to AltExchange that you are an Advisor, you will have access to authorized Investor Confidential Information in addition to the functions of the AltExchange Platform. 

    3.3 AltExchange shall have no obligation to participate or assist in any way in the event of any dispute between Users, Accredited Investors and Advisors.

    3.4. Notwithstanding the above or anything to the contrary set forth in the Terms of Service, AltExchange shall have the absolute and unlimited rights to reject any User, to terminate the account of any User, to delete any User Content, or to publish any User Content that is not confidential, including for the purposes of marketing AltExchange and/or the AltExchange Platform.
  4. The Software-as-a-Service

    4.1. Use of the SaaS. During the Term, Customer may access and use the SaaS pursuant to the terms of any outstanding Order, including such features and functions as the Order requires.

    4.2. Documentation: Customer may reproduce and use the Documentation solely as necessary to support Users’ use of the SaaS.  No copyright license or other license implied or explicit is granted hereby.

    4.3. SaaS Revisions. Provider may revise SaaS features and functions at any time, including without limitation by removing such features and functions or reducing service levels.
  5. PAYMENT

    5.1. Subscription Fees. Customer shall pay Provider the fee set forth in each Order (the “Subscription Fee”) for each Term. Provider’s invoices are due within 30 days of issuance. For late payment, Customer shall pay interest charges from the time the payment was due at the rate that is the lower of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permissible under applicable law. Provider will not be required to refund the Subscription Fee under any circumstances.

    5.2. Amounts due under this Agreement are payable to Provider without deduction for any tax, tariff, duty, or assessment imposed by any government authority (national, state, provincial, or local), including without limitation any sales, use, excise, ad valorem, property, withholding, or value-added tax, whether or not withheld at the source (collectively, “Sales Tax”). Except as forbidden by applicable law, Provider may require that Customer submit applicable Sales Taxes to Provider. However, the preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that Customer is tax exempt, provided it gives Provider a valid tax exemption certificate within 30 days of the Effective Date. Provider’s failure to include any applicable tax in an invoice will not waive or dismiss its rights or obligations pursuant to this Section 5.2. If applicable law requires withholding or deduction of Sales Taxes or any other tax or duty, Customer shall separately pay Provider the withheld or deducted amount, over and above fees due. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.2 does not govern taxes based on Provider’s net income.
  6. CUSTOMER DATA & PRIVACY
    6.1. Use of Customer Data. Provider shall not access, process, or otherwise use Customer Data other than as necessary to facilitate the SaaS. Further, Provider shall exercise reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized disclosure or exposure of Customer Data; and shall comply with all Privacy/Security Laws that are applicable both specifically to Provider and generally to data processors in the jurisdictions in which Provider does business and operates physical facilities. 

    6.2. . If Provider receives a “right to know,” deletion, “right to be forgotten,” or similar request related to Customer Data, Provider may respond in accordance with applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement precludes Provider from asserting rights or defenses it may have under applicable law related to such requests.

    6.3. Additional Fees. Customer recognizes and agrees that Provider may charge additional fees (without limitation) (a) for activities (if any) required by Privacy/Security Laws and (b) for activities Customer requests to help it comply with Privacy/Security Laws.

    6.4. Privacy Policy. Customer acknowledges Provider’s privacy policy at https://www.altexchange.com/privacy-policy/, and Customer recognizes and agrees that nothing in this Agreement restricts Provider’s right to alter such privacy policy.

    6.5. De-Identified Data. Notwithstanding the provisions above of this Article 4, Provider may use, reproduce, sell, publicize, or otherwise exploit De-Identified Data (as defined below) in any way, in its sole discretion, including without limitation aggregating with data from other Customers. (“De-Identified Data” refers to Customer Data with the following removed: information that identifies or could reasonably be used to identify an individual person, a household, or Customer.)

    6.6. Erasure. Provider may permanently erase Customer Data if Customer’s account is delinquent, suspended, or terminated for 30 days or more, without limiting Provider’s other rights or remedies, and with reasonable advance notice to Customer.

    6.7. Required Disclosure. Notwithstanding the provisions above of this Article, Provider may disclose Customer Data as required by applicable law or by proper legal or governmental authority. Provider shall give Customer prompt notice of any such legal or governmental demand and reasonably cooperate with Customer in any effort to seek a protective order or otherwise to contest such required disclosure, at Customer’s expense.

    6.8. Risk of Exposure. Customer recognizes and agrees that hosting data online involves risks of unauthorized disclosure or exposure and that, in accessing and using the SaaS, Customer assumes such risks. Provider offers no representation, warranty, or guarantee that Customer Data will not be exposed or disclosed through errors or the actions of third parties.

    6.9. Data Accuracy. Provider shall have no responsibility or liability for the accuracy of data uploaded to the SaaS by Customer, including without limitation Customer Data and any other data uploaded by Users.

Customer shall inform Provider of any Excluded Data within Customer Data promptly after discovery (without limiting Provider’s rights or remedies). Customer recognizes and agrees that: (i) the provisions of this Agreement related to Customer Data do not apply to Excluded Data; (ii) Provider has no liability for any failure to provide protections in the Excluded Data Laws (as defined below) or otherwise to protect Excluded Data; and (iii) Provider’s systems are not intended for management or protection of Excluded Data and may not provide adequate or legally required security for Excluded Data. Provider is not responsible or liable for any data exposure or disclosure or related loss to the extent that it involves Excluded Data. (“Excluded Data” means protected health information under HIPAA, personally identifiable information under GDPR or other EU-originating PII, or stolen or otherwise unauthorized data from a security breach or other hack.  “Excluded Data Laws” means any law or regulation governing Excluded Data, including without limitation any law or regulation protecting privacy or security rights of Excluded Data subjects, as well as the following statutes and regulations: Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
  7. CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITIES & RESTRICTIONS

    7.1.

In the event that it reasonably suspects any breach of the requirements of this Section, including without limitation by Users, Provider may suspend Customer’s access to the SaaS without advance notice, in addition to such other remedies as Provider may have. This Agreement does not require that Provider take any action against Customer or any User or other third party for violating these terms of use, this Section, or this Agreement, but Provider is free to take any such action it sees fit

    7.2. Unauthorized Access. Customer shall take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access to the SaaS, including without limitation by protecting its passwords and other log-in information. Customer shall notify Provider immediately of any known or suspected unauthorized use of the SaaS or breach of its security and shall use best efforts to stop said breach.

    7.3. Compliance with Laws. In its use of the SaaS, Customer shall comply with all applicable laws, including without limitation Privacy/Security laws.

    7.4. Users & SaaS Access. Customer is responsible and liable for: (a) use of the SaaS, including without limitation any conduct by its authorized Accredited Investors and Administrators that violate the TOS or the requirements of this Agreement applicable to Customer; and (b) any use of the SaaS through Customer’s account, whether authorized or unauthorized.
  8. IP & FEEDBACK.

    8.1. IP Rights to the SaaS. Provider retains all right, title, and interest in and to the SaaS, including without limitation all software used to provide the SaaS and all graphics, user interfaces, logos, and trademarks reproduced through the SaaS. This Agreement does not grant Customer any intellectual property license or rights in or to the SaaS or any of its components, except to the limited extent that such rights are necessary for Customer’s use of the SaaS as specifically authorized by this Agreement. Customer recognizes that the SaaS and its components are protected by copyright and other laws.

    8.2. Feedback. Provider has not agreed to and does not agree to treat as confidential any Feedback (as defined below) that Customer, Customer’s Clients, or other Users give Provider, and nothing in this Agreement or in the parties’ dealings arising out of or related to this Agreement will restrict Provider’s right to use, profit from, disclose, publish, keep secret, or otherwise exploit Feedback, without compensating or crediting Customer. Feedback will not be considered Customer’s trade secret. (“Feedback” refers to any suggestion or idea for improving or otherwise modifying any of Provider’s products or services.)
  9. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. “Confidential Information” refers to the following items either Party discloses to the other: (a) any document marked “Confidential”; (b) any information a disclosing party orally designates as “Confidential” at the time of disclosure, provided the disclosing party confirms such designation in writing within thirty (30) business days; (c) the Documentation, whether or not marked or designated confidential; (d) any Accredited Investor or Customer Data; and (e) any other nonpublic, sensitive information either party could reasonably consider a trade secret or otherwise confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is in the receiving party’s possession at the time of disclosure; (ii) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to Confidential Information; (iii) becomes known publicly, before or after disclosure, other than as a result of the receiving party’s  improper action or inaction; or (iv) is approved for release in writing by the disclosing party.  Customer is on notice that the Confidential Information may include Provider’s valuable trade secrets.

    9.1. A receiving party shall not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than accessing and using the SaaS (the “Purpose”). Customer: (a) shall not disclose Confidential Information to any employee or contractor of Customer unless such person needs access in order to facilitate the Purpose and executes a nondisclosure agreement with Customer with terms no less restrictive than those of this Article 9; and (b) shall not disclose Confidential Information to any other third party without Provider’s prior written consent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer shall protect Confidential Information with the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of similar nature and importance, but with no less than reasonable care. Customer shall promptly notify Provider of any misuse or misappropriation of Confidential Information that comes to Customer’s attention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may disclose Confidential Information as required by applicable law or by proper legal or governmental authority. Customer shall give Provider prompt notice of any such legal or governmental demand and reasonably cooperate with Provider in any effort to seek a protective order or otherwise to contest such required disclosure, at Provider’s expense.

    9.2. Termination & Return. With respect to each item of Confidential Information, the obligations of Section 9.1 above (Nondisclosure) will terminate five (5) years after the date of disclosure; provided that such obligations related to Confidential Information constituting Provider’s trade secrets will continue so long as such information remains subject to trade secret protection pursuant to applicable law. Upon termination of this Agreement, Customer shall return all copies of Confidential Information to Provider or certify, in writing, the destruction thereof.

    9.3. Customer agrees that: (a) no adequate remedy exists at law if it breaches any of its obligations in this Article 9; (b) it would be difficult to determine the damages resulting from its breach of this Article 9, and such breach would cause irreparable harm to Provider; and (iii) a grant of injunctive relief provides the best remedy for any such breach, without any requirement that Provider prove actual damage or post a bond or other security. Customer waives any opposition to such injunctive relief or any right to such proof, bond, or other security. (This Section does not limit either party’s right to injunctive relief for breaches not listed.)

    9.4. Retention of Rights. This Agreement does not transfer ownership of Confidential Information or grant a license thereto. Provider will retain all right, title, and interest in and to all Confidential Information.
  10. REPRESENTATIONS & WARRANTIES
    10.1. Provider represents and warrants that it is the owner of the SaaS and of each and every component thereof, or the recipient of a valid license thereto, and that it has and will maintain the full power and authority to grant the rights to use the SaaS set forth in this Agreement without the further consent of any third party. Provider’s representations and warranties in the preceding sentence do not apply to use of the SaaS in combination with hardware or software not provided or approved by Provider. In case of breach of the warranty above in this Section 10, Provider, at its own expense, shall promptly: (a) secure for Customer the right to continue using the SaaS; (b) replace or modify the SaaS to make it noninfringing; or if such remedies are not commercially practical in Provider’s reasonable opinion, (c) refund the fees paid for the SaaS on a pro rata basis (for every month remaining in the then-current Term following the date after which Customer access to the SaaS ceases) as a result of such breach of warranty. If Provider exercises its rights pursuant to Subsection 10.1(c) above, Customer shall promptly cease all use of the SaaS and all reproduction and use of the Documentation and erase all copies in its possession or control. This Section 10.1, in conjunction with Customer’s right to terminate this Agreement where applicable, states Customer’s sole remedy and Provider’s entire liability for breach of the warranty above in this Section 10.1.

    10.2. From Customer. Customer represents and warrants that: (a) it has the full right and authority to enter into, execute, and perform its obligations under this Agreement and that no pending or threatened claim or litigation known to it would have a material adverse impact on its ability to perform as required by this Agreement; (b) it has accurately identified itself and it has not provided any inaccurate information about itself to or through the SaaS; and (c) it is a corporation, the sole proprietorship of an individual 18 years or older, or another entity authorized to do business pursuant to applicable law.

    10.3. CUSTOMER ACCEPTS THE SAAS “AS IS,” WITH NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM STATUTE, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING: (a) PROVIDER HAS NO OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY OR DEFEND CUSTOMER OR USERS AGAINST CLAIMS RELATED TO INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; (b) PROVIDER DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SAAS WILL PERFORM WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR ERROR; AND (c) PROVIDER DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SAAS IS SECURE FROM HACKING OR OTHER UNAUTHORIZED INTRUSION OR THAT CUSTOMER DATA WILL REMAIN PRIVATE OR SECURE.
  11. INDEMNIFICATION. Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Provider and the Provider Associates (as defined below) against any “Indemnified Claim,” meaning any third party claim, suit, or proceeding arising out of or related to Customer’s alleged or actual use of, misuse of, or failure to use the SaaS, including without limitation: (a) claims by Users or by Customer’s employees, as well as by Customer’s own customers; (b) claims related Data Incidents (as defined below); (c) claims related to infringement or violation of a copyright, trademark, trade secret, or privacy or confidentiality right by written material, images, logos or other content uploaded to the SaaS through Customer’s account, including without limitation by Customer Data; and (d) claims that use of the SaaS through Customer’s account, including by Users, harasses, defames, or defrauds a third party or violates the CAN-Spam Act of 2003 or any other law or restriction on electronic advertising. INDEMNIFIED CLAIMS INCLUDE, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO PROVIDER’S NEGLIGENCE. Customer’s obligations set forth in this Article 11 include, without limitation: (i) settlement at Customer’s expense and payment of judgments finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction, as well as payment of court costs and other reasonable expenses; and (ii) reimbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred before Customers’ assumption of the defense (but not attorneys’ fees incurred thereafter). If Customer fails to assume the defense on time to avoid prejudicing the defense, Provider may defend the Indemnified Claim, without loss of rights pursuant to this Article 9. Provider will have the right, not to be exercised unreasonably, to reject any settlement or compromise that requires that it or a Provider Associate admit wrongdoing or liability or subjects either of them to any ongoing affirmative obligation. (“Provider Associates” are Provider’s officers, directors, shareholders, parents, subsidiaries, agents, successors, and assigns. A “Data Incident” is any (1) unauthorized disclosure of, access to, or use of Customer Data, including without limitation Excluded Data, or (2) violation of Privacy/Security Law through Customer’s account. Data Incidents include, without limitation, such events caused by Customer, by Provider, by Customer’s customers or other users, by hackers, and by any other third party.)

Customer acknowledges and agrees that Provider has based its pricing on and entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the limitations of liability and disclaimers of warranties and damages in this Article 12 and that such terms form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties. If applicable law limits the application of the provisions of this Article 12, Provider’s liability will be limited to the maximum extent permissible. For the avoidance of doubt, Provider’s liability limits and other rights set forth in this Article 12 apply likewise to Provider’s affiliates, licensors, suppliers, advertisers, agents, sponsors, directors, officers, employees, consultants, and other representatives.
  13. TERM & TERMINATION.

    13.1. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) will commence on the Effective Date and continue for the period set forth in the Order or, if none, for 12 months.

  14. MISCELLANEOUS.

    14.2. Force Majeure. No delay, failure, or default, other than a failure to pay fees when due, will constitute a breach of this Agreement to the extent caused by acts of war, terrorism, hurricanes, earthquakes, epidemics, other acts of God or of nature, strikes or other labor disputes, riots or other acts of civil disorder, embargoes, government orders responding to any of the foregoing, or other causes beyond the performing party’s reasonable control.

    14.3. Customer may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without Provider’s express written consent.

    14.5. No Waiver. Neither party will be deemed to have waived any of its rights under this Agreement by lapse of time or by any statement or representation other than by an authorized representative in an explicit written waiver.

    14.6. Choice of Law & Jurisdiction: This Agreement and all claims arising out of or related to this Agreement will be governed solely by the internal laws of the State of Delaware including without limitation applicable federal law, without reference to any conflicts of law principle that would apply the substantive laws of another jurisdiction to the parties’ rights or duties. The parties consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of Denver, Colorado. This Section 14.7 governs all claims arising out of or related to this Agreement, including without limitation tort claims.

    14.8. Technology Export. Customer shall not: (a) permit any third party to access or use the SaaS in violation of any U.S. law or regulation; or (b) export any software provided by Provider or otherwise remove it from the United States except in compliance with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer shall not permit any third party to access or use the SaaS in, or export such software to, a country subject to a United States embargo (as of the Effective Date, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria).

    14.9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous writings, negotiations, and discussions with respect to its subject matter. Neither party has relied upon any such prior or contemporaneous communications.

    14.10. Amendment. Provider may amend this Agreement from time to time by posting an amended version at its Website and sending Customer written notice thereof. Such amendment will be deemed accepted and become effective 30 days after such notice (the “Proposed Amendment Date”) unless Customer first gives Provider written notice of rejection of the amendment. In the event of such rejection, this Agreement will continue under its original provisions, and the amendment will become effective at the start of Customer’s next Term following the Proposed Amendment Date (unless Customer first terminates this Agreement pursuant to Article 13, Term & Termination). Customer’s continued use of the Service following the effective date of an amendment will confirm Customer’s consent thereto. This Agreement may not be amended in any other way except through a written agreement by authorized representatives of each party. Provider may revise the TOS, Privacy Policy and Terms of Use at any time by posting a new version of either at the Website, and such new version will become effective on the date it is posted; provided if such amendment materially reduces Customer’s rights or protections, notice and consent will be subject to the requirements above in this Section.
