If no Start Date is specified, the Start Date shall be the date of execution of the applicable Subscription Form. For single-event subscriptions (e.g., individual events or single tournaments) (“One-Time Events”), the Subscription Term shall commence and expire as set forth in the applicable Subscription Form or, if not specified, in accordance with the applicable event schedule. All Subscription Terms are subject to EverPass’s continued distribution rights from Licensors. The Subscription Term for any Third-Party Content may terminate earlier, without further notice, if EverPass ceases to have the right to distribute such Third-Party Content.
9.3 Automatic Renewal. Except for One-Time Events, each Subscription will automatically renew as follows: (a) for successive one (1)-month periods if the Initial Term is monthly; or (b) for successive twelve (12)-month periods for all other Initial Term durations (each, a “Renewal Subscription Term”). Renewal Subscription Term fees will be EverPass’s then-current fees in effect at the time of renewal based on Customer’s Authorized Locations, Hardware, and other Services. Either Party may elect not to renew by providing written notice to the other at least fifteen (15) days prior to the end of the current Subscription Term. Customer may also provide notice of non-renewal by calling 855-647-6059 or through such other methods as EverPass may make available from time to time in its sole discretion.
9.4 Suspension and Termination. If EverPass receives information that Customer has breached, or may breach, this Agreement, fails to timely pay any amounts due, fails to comply with any Applicable Law, or if Customer’s or its Users’ use of the Services results or may result in a degradation of the Services, as determined by EverPass in its sole discretion, EverPass may, at its option, with or without notice to Customer, (i) suspend Customer’s access to the Services (in whole or in part) until the issue is resolved, if curable, (ii) modify the Services, and/or (iii) terminate the Services and this Agreement, in whole or in part.

Furthermore, all rights, Licenses, consents, and authorizations granted by EverPass to Customer thereunder will immediately terminate.
10. BILLING AND PAYMENT
10.1 Fees and Payment Terms. Customer shall pay all fees as set forth in each Subscription Form. Unless otherwise specified in a Subscription Form:
- All fees are due in full prior to the start of the applicable Subscription Term.
- For monthly Subscription Terms, fees are invoiced and due at the start of each monthly billing period, including the Initial Term and each Renewal Subscription Term.
- If a Subscription Form provides for installment billing (e.g., an annual Subscription billed monthly), each installment will be invoiced and due at the start of the applicable monthly or other installment period as set forth in the Subscription Form. Upon renewal, installment-billed Subscriptions will continue on the same billing cycle unless otherwise notified by EverPass prior to renewal.
- Regardless of billing frequency, Customer commits to the full Subscription Term, and all fees for the entire Subscription Term remain due and payable, even if billed in installments. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, all fees are nonrefundable.
10.2 Invoicing and Disputes. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Subscription Form, full payment is due upon the date of invoice. If EverPass has Customer’s credit card or bank account information on file, Customer authorizes EverPass (or its designee) to automatically charge all amounts due on or after the invoice date. If Customer disputes any invoiced amount, Customer must provide EverPass a written explanation within fifteen (15) days of the invoice date (the “Dispute Period”) identifying the disputed amounts and the basis for the dispute. Failure to dispute an invoice within the Dispute Period constitutes a waiver of such dispute. Customer remains obligated to pay all undisputed amounts. Overdue amounts are subject to interest at 1.5% per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. EverPass may, in its sole discretion, suspend access to the Services until overdue amounts are paid.
10.3 Pricing. Subscription pricing is fixed during the Initial Term. EverPass may change pricing for any Subscription after the Initial Term upon at least thirty (30) days’ written notice before the start of the next Renewal Subscription Term, and the applicable Subscription Form(s) will be deemed amended accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Customer is on a monthly Subscription Term, pricing shall be subject to EverPass’s then-current market rates, and upon renewal, Customer will renew at EverPass’s then-current market rates.
10.4 Taxes. Fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and Customer shall be responsible for all such amounts (other than EverPass’s income tax), whether or not listed on the invoice.
10.5 Collections. To the extent permitted by law, Customer shall pay all reasonable costs EverPass incurs to collect unpaid amounts, and either Party may pursue collection of unpaid amounts through a collection agency without first complying with any arbitration or pre-dispute resolution requirements.
10.6 Promotional Offers. Customer shall comply with all terms of any promotional offer it receives. Promotional offer terms may be located on EverPass’s website, set forth in a Subscription Form, provided via email, or otherwise communicated to Customer. EverPass may modify or discontinue any promotional offer at any time. Upon expiration of any applicable promotional period, Customer’s applicable Subscription(s) will automatically continue at EverPass’s then-current standard rates. If EverPass determines Customer was not eligible for a promotional offer, EverPass may invoice Customer for the discounted amounts, and Customer authorizes EverPass to charge such amount to its payment method on file following written notice.
10.7 Third-Party Billing. If Customer obtains a Subscription through a third-party provider (e.g., authorized reseller, app store, digital distribution platform, or other authorized provider), that Subscription is also subject to the third-party provider’s terms. Where billing is handled by the third-party provider, this Agreement’s billing and payment provisions do not apply to the extent they conflict with the third-party provider’s terms. Subscriptions obtained through a third-party must be canceled in accordance with that third-party’s instructions. EverPass is not responsible for products and services provided by such third-party.
11. WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS

The warranties in (i) and (ii) do not apply to third-party materials (including Third-Party Content, Hardware, and third-party components incorporated into the EverPass Software), and shall not apply if Customer breaches any material provision of this Agreement or if the Services are modified, damaged, or misused by Customer, any User, or any other person given access to the Services. For any breach by EverPass of (i) or (ii) not excluded above, Customer’s sole remedy, and EverPass’s sole obligation, shall be, at EverPass’s sole option, to repair or replace the Services or refund prepaid fees therefore. For any breach by EverPass of (iii), Customer’s sole remedy, and EverPass’s sole obligation, shall be to refund fees paid for the affected Content. Customer represents and warrants that it has all necessary rights and consents to provide EverPass with Customer Data and shall not input, upload, transmit, or otherwise provide to or through the Services any information or materials that are unlawful, injurious, infringing, or contain, transmit, or activate any Malicious Code.
11.2 Disclaimers of Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” AND ARE WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AND EVERPASS, ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AGENTS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY ANY COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE, OR COURSE OF DEALING, ALL OF WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EVERPASS MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND THAT THE SERVICES WILL OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR BE ERROR FREE.
12. INDEMNIFICATION
12.1 Customer Indemnification. Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold EverPass, its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “EverPass Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), arising out of, or in connection with, (i) Customer’s use of the Services in breach of this Agreement, (ii) Customer’s use of the EverPass & Third-Party IP in breach of this Agreement, (iii) Customer Data, (iv) Customer’s failure to comply with Applicable Law in connection with the Services, (v) Customer’s violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right, or (vi) any third-party claims arising from or related to any of the foregoing. EverPass may assume exclusive defense and control of any indemnified claim, and Customer agrees to cooperate with the EverPass Indemnified Parties in defense thereof. Customer may not settle any claim covered by this Section 12.1 without EverPass’s prior written approval.
12.2 EverPass Indemnification.
- EverPass shall defend, indemnify and hold Customer harmless against any copyright infringement claim brought against Customer by a third party rights holder that arises from Customer’s exhibition of Content, when done so in compliance with this Agreement (“IP Claim”), provided that Customer (i) promptly gives written notice of the IP Claim to EverPass; (ii) gives EverPass sole control of the defense and settlement of the IP Claim (provided that Customer may participate in such defense at its own expense and that EverPass may not settle any IP Claim in a manner that admits liability on behalf of Customer or that imposes an injunction or other equitable relief upon Customer without Customer’s prior written consent); and (iii) provides reasonable assistance to EverPass, at EverPass’s expense, in the defense and settlement of the IP Claim. EverPass shall pay damages finally awarded against Customer and reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) directly attributable to such IP Claim. EverPass may, at its sole option and expense: (i) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Services under this Agreement; or (ii) replace or modify the Services to be non-infringing without material decrease in functionality. If the foregoing options are not reasonably practicable, EverPass may terminate this Agreement and refund to Customer all prepaid Fees for the remainder of the Subscription Term after the date of termination. This Section 12.2 is EverPass’s entire obligation and Customer’s exclusive remedy regarding any IP Claim.
- EverPass shall have no liability for any IP Claim to the extent arising from (i) modifications to the Services by anyone other than EverPass or its agents; (ii) the use or combination of the Services with any item not provided by EverPass where, in the absence of such use or combination, the Services alone would not have given rise to the IP Claim; (iii) Customer Data, including any content uploaded, displayed, or transmitted by Customer, any User, or any third party through EverPass Engage or any other customer-controlled features of the Services; or (iv) Customer’s continued use of an infringing version of the Services when EverPass has provided a non-infringing alternative; or (v) Customer’s breach of Section 6 (Terms of Use; Restrictions).
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
13.1 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EVERPASS, ITS AFFILIATES, ITS THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, PARTNERS, AGENTS AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES AND ALL OF THEIR SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE, PROFITS, USE OR OTHER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR CONTENT, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY OR NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, EVEN IF THE PARTY FROM WHICH DAMAGES ARE BEING SOUGHT OR THE THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
13.2 IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EVERPASS, ITS AFFILIATES, ITS THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, PARTNERS, AGENTS AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES AND ALL OF THEIR SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS IN CONNECTION WITH CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE SERVICES AND CONTENT) EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY CUSTOMER TO EVERPASS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
14. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
14.1 ”Confidential Information” means all confidential information of a Party (“Disclosing Party”) disclosed to the other Party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is identified as confidential or that the Receiving Party should reasonably understand to be confidential. Confidential Information includes Subscription Forms, Riders, pricing, Customer Data (subject to Section 5.4), EverPass Software, business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product designs, trade secrets, and business processes. Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) was in the Receiving Party’s lawful possession prior to disclosure and had not been obtained by the Receiving Party either directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party; (iii) is lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party without a disclosure restriction; or (iv) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
14.2 Confidentiality Obligations. Each Party shall use reasonable care to prevent disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information. EverPass may disclose Customer’s Confidential Information to its Affiliates and their employees, consultants, accountants, lawyers, and other third-party providers in connection with the Services; provided such parties are bound by confidentiality obligations no less protective than this Section.
14.3 Compelled Disclosure. If a Party is compelled by law or legal process to disclose Confidential Information, it shall provide prompt written notice to the other Party (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.
14.4 Injunctive Relief. If Customer discloses (or threatens to disclose) any Confidential Information in breach of this Section 14, EverPass shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being acknowledged by the Parties that any other available remedies may be inadequate.
14.5 Post-Termination Confidentiality. Upon any termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall continue to maintain the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and, upon request and subject to Applicable Law, return to the Disclosing Party or destroy (at the Disclosing Party’s election) all materials containing such Confidential Information.
15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
15.1 Class Action Waiver. ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE, ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE PROVISION OF ANY CONTENT TO CUSTOMER, WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NEITHER CUSTOMER NOR EVERPASS WILL SEEK TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE, INCLUDING IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS VOIDED OR FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, DO THE PARTIES CONSENT TO ARBITRATE ON A CLASSWIDE BASIS.
15.2 Jury Trial Waiver. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES, OR ANY CONTENT, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
15.3 Mandatory Pre-Dispute Resolution Process.
- Customer and EverPass will use reasonable, good faith efforts to resolve any dispute through consultation, cooperation, and good faith negotiations in accordance with the following process (“Pre-Dispute Resolution Process”):
- First, the Party will send a written notice of dispute to the other Party by certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested, or nationally recognized overnight delivery service or, only if the other Party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail at such party’s notice address. EverPass’s address for this notice is as follows: EverPass Media II, LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 200 W. Adams St., Suite 2905, Chicago, IL 60606; legalnotice@everpass.com. EverPass shall have the right to change its notice address for purposes of Section upon written notice to Customer.
- The required written notice shall include, if available: (a) the name of the person making the claim, (b) the email address associated with the Subscription(s) subject to the dispute, (c) a description of the nature and basis of the dispute or claim, and (d) the specific relief desired.
- If Customer and EverPass are unable to resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days after the notice is received, either Party may proceed to commence an action, consistent with Section 15.4 or 15.5.
- Either Party may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, as necessary to protect their rights or property (including intellectual property rights) pending completion of the Pre-Dispute Resolution Process.
15.4 Small Claims Court. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including but not limited to, the provision of any Content to Customer, that falls within the jurisdictional scope and limits of the small claims court where Customer is located must be brought in that court on an individual basis. Such disputes must remain in small claims court and may not be removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction. The Party initiating the small claims court proceeding shall submit a certification of compliance with the Pre-Dispute Resolution Process set forth in Section 15.3 above to that court. The certification shall be personally signed by that Party (and counsel, if represented).
15.5 Arbitration Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 15.4 above:
- Customer and EverPass agree that this Agreement affects interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provisions. Only to the extent not inconsistent with the substantive and procedural provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act, the laws of the State of Delaware govern interpretation of other aspects of the Agreement (for clarity, including the Subscription Forms), without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
- With respect to any and all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including but not limited to the Third-Party Content, Customer and EverPass agree to first negotiate in good faith to achieve a mutually satisfactory resolution, as provided in Section 15.3 above, before initiating a proceeding in any forum except as specifically set forth below.
- Except as otherwise provided herein, all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the provision of Third-Party Content to the Customer, that cannot be settled through informal negotiation will be settled exclusively through confidential binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement (“Arbitration Agreement”), AAA shall administer the arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and/or the Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, as applicable (the “AAA Rules”). The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The number of arbitrators shall be one. The AAA Rules and fee information are available at “https://www.adr.org/commercial.” If AAA is unable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, the Parties shall agree on an alternate administrator that will do so (provided that if the AAA determines it must apply more than one filing and/or administrative fee to a batch, notwithstanding the Parties’ agreement in Section 15.5(f) below, the AAA shall continue to administer the relevant arbitration(s)). If the Parties cannot agree, they shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware to appoint an alternate administrator that will do so.
- The demand for arbitration must be personally signed by the party initiating arbitration (and their counsel, if represented). By signing the demand for arbitration, a party (and their counsel, if represented) certifies that they have complied with all of the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), including that the claims and relief sought are neither frivolous nor brought for an improper purpose. The arbitrator is authorized to award any relief or impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 or applicable federal or state law against all appropriate persons (including counsel) as a court would. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Customer or EverPass may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award (if any).
- The arbitrator may award relief, including, but not limited to, monetary, declaratory, injunctive, or other equitable relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief (for clarity, not any relief that affects other EverPass customers or users) and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If a court decides that Applicable Law precludes enforcement of the foregoing limitations as to a particular claim or remedy (such as declaratory or injunctive relief), then that claim or remedy (and only that claim or remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and must be brought in the federal or state courts of the State of Delaware (unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise), and the Parties consent to personal and exclusive jurisdiction in these courts. The remaining claims and remedies will still be resolved through binding arbitration. The Parties also agree that for disputes that involve both claims that must be decided in arbitration and claims that must be severed pursuant to this subsection, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, you and we will first submit the claims and remedies that are subject to arbitration to arbitration pursuant to this binding Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator will not be permitted to adjudicate the claims or remedies that must be severed. Once the arbitration of the claims or remedies subject to arbitration has concluded, you and/or we may submit the claims or remedies that must be severed pursuant to this subsection to the federal or state courts of the State of Delaware to the extent otherwise permitted by law. The arbitrator may consider but will not be bound by rulings in other arbitrations where Customer and EverPass were not both parties. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction. Customer agrees that Customer or EverPass may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, as necessary to protect their rights or property (including intellectual property rights) pending the completion of arbitration. In addition, a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, validity, scope, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may bring claims to enforce intellectual property rights in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware. Regardless of whether a dispute is resolved by a court or pursuant to arbitration under the terms of this Section, you and we agree that the dispute is subject to the class action waiver provision in Section 15.1. If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of this Section 15.5. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances do the Parties consent to arbitrate on a class wide basis.
- To promote efficient handling of arbitration demands, if 50 or more substantially similar demands are filed against EverPass (or any third-party entitled to enforce the terms of this Section 15.5) where representation of all parties is consistent or coordinated across cases, the AAA will promptly take steps to: (1) administer the demands in batches of 50 (plus a final batch consisting of any remaining demands); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; (3) consider each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees per side, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be decided by the arbitrator, and one final award (taken together, the “Batch Arbitration” process); and (4) take other steps as necessary for a speedy and efficient resolution of the demands. Demands are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or facts, raise similar legal issues, and seek similar relief. If the Parties disagree on whether the Batch Arbitration process in this Section 15.5(f) applies, or the AAA declines to implement this Batch Arbitration process as set forth herein, the AAA will appoint an arbitrator to decide that issue, who may prescribe procedures or revisions only to the extent necessary to resolve the disagreement or permit AAA to otherwise implement the Batch Arbitration process. The Batch Arbitration process does not authorize a consolidated, joint, or mass arbitration or action other than as set forth in this Section 15.5(f), and in no circumstances is a class or collective action authorized.
15.6 Judicial Forum for Non-Arbitrable Disputes. To the extent any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement is not subject to mandatory arbitration or small claims court, such dispute shall be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and the Parties consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
15.7 Licensor Dispute Resolution. Certain Content is subject to Content-Specific Terms pursuant to Section 4.2 and, to the extent they conflict with this Agreement, the Content-Specific Terms shall govern with respect to all matters arising under or related to such Content including dispute resolution.
15.8 Equitable Relief. A breach or threatened breach by Customer of its obligations under Sections 5, 6, and 14 shall entitle EverPass to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, from any court of competent jurisdiction without posting bond or proving actual damages, the Parties acknowledging that monetary damages may be inadequate. Such remedies are in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
15.9 Statute of Limitations. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM CUSTOMER MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR USE OF THE SERVICES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
16. MISCELLANEOUS
16.1 Publicity. Customer grants EverPass a royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use Customer’s name and logo on EverPass’s website, customer lists, and marketing and promotional materials.
16.2 Changes to Agreement. EverPass reserves the right to amend or modify the terms of this Master Subscription Agreement and the Content-Specific Terms at any time. If EverPass makes material changes to the foregoing, EverPass will provide Customer with reasonable advance notice (except in urgent situations, such as preventing ongoing abuse, in response to legal requirements, or as required by Licensors) of such modifications, and the updated terms will be effective after such notice period. Notice may be provided by any method set forth in Section 16.11 or through the Services. For the avoidance of doubt, the addition of new Content-Specific Terms does not constitute a modification requiring notice under this Section. Customer’s continued use of the Services and/or applicable Subscription(s) will indicate, and be deemed, Customer’s acceptance of the updated terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Rider executed by the Parties may only be amended by a written agreement signed by both Parties.
16.3 Electronic Communications. By using the Services, Customer consents to receive communications from EverPass, its Affiliates, and its Licensors (including their respective designees), including legal terms or contracts, legal notices, newsletters and other marketing about features and content, special offers, promotions, surveys, and information regarding Customer’s account. Such communications may be sent to Customer’s email address(es) or phone number(s) on record, including via email, SMS or text message, in-app messaging, or by other methods. Customer agrees that such communications, and any agreements or disclosures that EverPass, its Affiliates, and/or its Licensors (including their respective designees) ask Customer to sign or accept, may be provided in electronic form and will be deemed received when sent or made available. Customer further authorizes EverPass, its Affiliates, and their designees to contact Customer using automated dialing systems or artificial or prerecorded voices, including voicemail messages. To opt out of marketing communications, Customer may email support@everpass.com.
16.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (the MSA, together with all Subscription Forms electronically submitted or executed by Customer, the Content-Specific Terms incorporated by reference herein, and any Riders mutually executed by the Parties) constitutes the Parties’ entire agreement regarding the Services and the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, representations, agreements, and prior versions of this Master Subscription Agreement. All Subscription Forms currently in effect remain in effect and are governed by this Agreement. Statements by EverPass personnel (e.g., salespeople and customer service representatives) do not constitute amendments to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any “Order Form For Complimentary Licensed Content”, any SLA, or any SOW previously accepted or executed by Customer in connection with the Services prior to March 9, 2026, is hereby terminated and superseded by this Agreement.
16.5 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the documents constituting this Agreement, the following order of priority shall apply (highest first): (i) Content-Specific Terms (solely with respect to the applicable Content); (ii) any Rider executed by the Parties; (iii) the Subscription Form; and (iv) the MSA.
16.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, such provision shall be construed to reflect the Parties’ original intent, with all other provisions remaining in full force and effect.
16.7 Independent Parties. Nothing in this Agreement creates a joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship between the Parties.
16.8 Assignment. Neither Party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the other Party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), except that: (i) either Party may assign this Agreement in its entirety to its successor in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all assets or equity; and (ii) EverPass may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any Affiliate. Customer shall promptly notify EverPass in writing of any permitted assignment for billing and account management purposes. Any unauthorized assignment shall be void. This Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
16.9 Subcontractors. EverPass may utilize subcontractors and/or third-party providers in association with this Agreement, including for the provision of the EverPass Software. EverPass shall be responsible for the performance of such parties in connection with this Agreement.
16.10 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform (excluding payment obligations) due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, government actions, natural disasters, civil unrest, acts of terror, labor disputes, internet or other Services disruptions involving hardware, software or power systems not within such Party’s possession or reasonable control, or denial of service attacks (each, a “Force Majeure Event“), during the Force Majeure Event.
16.11 Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing. EverPass may provide notice to Customer by notification through the Services, email to Customer’s email address on record, first-class mail, pre-paid post, or nationally recognized overnight delivery service to Customer’s address as set forth in Customer’s Subscription Form. For general or operational communications (e.g., account updates, changes to information pursuant to Section 8.4, or support requests), Customer may contact EverPass by email to support@everpass.com. For notices of non-renewal, Customer may provide notice by calling 855-647-6059. For formal legal notices required or permitted under this Agreement (e.g., dispute notices, or indemnification notices), Customer must provide notice to EverPass by email to legalnotice@everpass.com and by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or certified mail, return receipt requested, to: EverPass Media II, LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 200 W. Adams Street, Suite 2905, Chicago, IL 60606. Use of support@everpass.com for formal legal notices is insufficient and will not constitute valid notice under this Agreement. Customer bears the risk of non-delivery for any notice sent by email, and email notice to EverPass is effective only upon actual receipt by EverPass. EverPass may change its notice address upon written notice to Customer.
16.12 Waiver. Either Party’s failure to enforce any right or provision in this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless agreed to by such Party in writing. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
16.13 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience or reference only and are in no way intended to describe, interpret, define, or limit the scope, extent, or intent of any provision of this Agreement.
