Customer acknowledges that compliance with the provisions of this Agreement is necessary in order to protect the proprietary rights of ResMan. Customer further acknowledges that any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information of ResMan to any third party in breach of this Agreement will result in irreparable and continuing damage to ResMan.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement and subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 7.5 (Limitation of Liability), all remedies, whether under this Agreement, provided by law, or otherwise, are cumulative and not alternative, may be exercised concurrently or separately, and the exercise of any one remedy will not be deemed an election of such remedy to the exclusion of the other remedies.
10.6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any exhibits hereto and the Order Forms and Statements of Work which are incorporated herein by this reference) and any other documents expressly contemplated hereby constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes all prior written or oral agreements, communications, and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement is executed in English and no translation of this Agreement will have any effect on the interpretation hereof. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any Order Form or Statement of Work, then this Agreement controls and governs over such Order Form or Statement of Work (unless such Order Form or Statement of Work expressly states that it is amending a specific provision of this Agreement, in which case such Order Form or Statement of Work controls and governs over such specific provision).
10.7. Amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any Order Form or Statement of Work may be amended, modified, or supplemented orally. This Agreement and any Order Form or Statement of Work may only be amended, modified, or supplemented by an instrument in writing specifically mentioning this Agreement and signed by both of the Parties. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order Form, any additional Order Form will incorporate the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any prior Order Forms shall also be subject to the current form of this Agreement which will be available online at the following link: https://myresman.com/master-subscription-agreement/
10.8. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement is effective unless in writing and signed by the Party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of any such right, power, or remedy. The expressed waiver of any right or default hereunder will be effective only in the instance given and will not operate as or imply a waiver of any similar right or default on any subsequent occasion.
10.9. Notices. Any notice, demand, request, or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be made in writing, properly addressed to the Party to receive notice at the address set forth on the most recent Order Form or at such other address for notice as such Party may hereafter designate by written notice to the other Party given in the manner provided herein, and will be deemed given and received: (i) upon receipt if personally delivered; (ii) on the next business day after delivery to a nationally-recognized overnight courier service; (iii) on the third business day after deposit with the U.S. Postal Service if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (iv) to the extent applicable, by such other method as may be expressly permitted in this Agreement for certain communications.
10.10. Construction. If any provision of this Agreement is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law in any respect, then: (i) such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect the other provisions of this Agreement; (ii) this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision were excluded from this Agreement; and (iii) the court in its discretion may substitute for the excluded provision an enforceable provision which in economic substance reasonably approximates the excluded provision. If any provision of this Agreement is for any reason held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity, or subject, then such provision will be construed by limiting and reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the then-applicable law. However, If any material limitation or restriction on the use of a Subscription Service under this Agreement is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, at ResMan’s option, Customer’s right to use the applicable Subscription Services will immediately terminate.
10.11. Assignment; Successors and Assigns. Customer shall not transfer or assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under this Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or delegate any duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of ResMan, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion, and any purported attempt to do so in violation of this Section will be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
10.12. Export. Customer will comply with all applicable export and import laws, rules, and regulations in connection with Customer’s activities under this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that it is Customer’s responsibility to obtain any required licenses to export and re-export Subscription Services. The Subscription Services, including technical data, are subject to U.S. export control laws, including the U.S. Export Administration Act and its associated regulations, and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries. Customer represents and warrants that the Subscription Services are not being and will not be acquired for, shipped, transferred, or re-exported, directly or indirectly, to proscribed or embargoed countries or their nationals and persons on the Table of Denial Orders, the Entity List or the List of Specifically Designated Nationals, unless specifically authorized by the U.S. Government for those purposes.
10.13. Force Majeure. If by reason of labor disputes, strikes, lockouts, riots, war, inability to obtain labor or materials, earthquake, fire or other action of the elements, acts of God, accidents, viral outbreak or disease, Internet service provider failures or delays, governmental restrictions, appropriations or other causes beyond the reasonable control of a party hereto (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), either Party is unable to perform in whole or in part its obligations as set forth in this Agreement, excluding any obligations to make payments hereunder, then such Party will be relieved of those obligations to the extent it is so unable to perform and such inability to perform will not make such party liable to the other party. Neither Party will be liable for any losses, injury, delay or damages suffered or incurred by the other party due to a Force Majeure Event.
10.14. Counterparts. Each Order Form and Statement of Work may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, and all of which together constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties agree that a facsimile, pdf of a signed counterpart, or the use of an electronic signature service is as effective and has the same force and effect as the original thereof.

Addendum A
SERVICE TERMS for ResMan Payments
The following terms (“Payment Service Terms”) apply to the use of the ResMan Payments payment processing service (“Payment Services”) offered in conjunction with the Agreement. These Payment Service Terms only apply to ResMan customers who have selected and been approved for ResMan Payments as an applicable service on their Order Form (each, a “Customer”) accepted by ResMan.
The Payment Service Terms only apply to Customer’s use of ResMan Payments. Capitalized words which are used in the Payment Service Terms, but not defined in the Payment Service Terms, have the meaning given to such words in the Agreement. In the event of any conflict between these Payment Service Terms and the Agreement, these Payment Service Terms will apply as to the specific Payment Services and the Agreement will control for all other purposes.
1. Third Party Payment Processor
Customer acknowledges that ResMan is not currently licensed as a merchant payment processor. ResMan will instead serve as a data processor transmitting requests for merchant payment processing services to ResMan’s payment processing service provider or another third party selected by ResMan and reasonably acceptable to Customer (“Payment Processor”). Customer will be required to enter into a separate agreement (“Processor Agreement”) directly with the Payment Processor in order for ResMan to transmit Customer’s payment requests to the Payment Processor and for the Payment Processor to complete the payment transactions placed by Customer on Customer’s behalf.
The Payment Processor and its merchant banks will determine Customer’s eligibility for payment processing in accordance with their own underwriting criteria. The Payment Processor and its merchant banks must approve the transactions submitted by or on behalf of Customer. ResMan cannot assure Customer that it or its transactions will be accepted or approved by the Payment Processor or its merchant banks.
Nothing in the Terms or these Payment Services Terms shall reduce the liability or obligations of Customer under the Processor Agreement. ResMan may terminate the provisions of the Payment Services to Customer immediately in the event that (i) the Processor Agreement between Customer and the Payment Processor is terminated (or is not executed within a reasonable amount of time after ResMan accepts the Order Form providing for Payment Services); (ii) the agreement between ResMan and the Payment Processor is terminated or expires; or (iii) if any payment network or entity having jurisdiction over Payment Processor indicates that Payment Processor may no longer provide merchant services.
ResMan will not have direct access or control of Customer’s funds. Transactions will be processed through an ID established by the Payment Processor for Customer that enables ResMan and the Payment Processor to facilitate such payments (“Merchant ID”). Each Merchant ID will be exclusively for a specific Customer. It is Customer’s responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of Customer’s login credentials. Sharing credentials or a Customer’s Merchant ID for another’s use is strictly prohibited.
The Payment Processor will either receive transaction settlement proceeds in a bank account that it owns and controls or the proceeds will be settled to an account of the Payment Processor’s own processor; in either case, the applicable funds will then be settled to an account designated by Customer to the Payment Processor less the below Payment Services Fees, which will be retained and shared by ResMan and the Payment Processor.
2. Payment Processing Fees. Customer agrees to pay any and all applicable fees applicable to Payment Services as set forth on the Order Form.
3. Compliance with Laws and Applicable Policies.
Customer and ResMan each agree at all times to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, as well as applicable industry rules including but not limited to those of the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”), and card association rules. Customer agrees to comply with all applicable policies, rules and requirements of the Payment Processor and its applicable merchant banks.
4. Prohibited Persons
All of the following Persons are prohibited from using the Payment Services and Customer represents and warrants that it does not fall into any of the following classes: (i) Persons who appear on the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control, Specially Designated Nationals List; (ii) Persons who are less than 18 years of age; (iii) Persons, or their Affiliates who have been previously terminated for cause under a contract with Payment Processor; and (iv) Persons who are not both domiciled and resident in the United States. “Persons” means any individual, corporation (including any not for profit corporation), general or limited partnership, limited liability partnership, joint venture, estate, trust, firm, company (including any limited liability company or joint stock company), association, organization, entity or governmental authority.
5. Limitation of Warranty and Liability for Payment Services
ResMan makes no representation or warranty on behalf of the Payment Processor. Except as expressly set forth in the Agreement, the Payment Services are provided by ResMan without representations or warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, by operation of law, or otherwise, including, without limitation, any implied or statutory warranties of merchantability or fitness for particular purpose. In no event shall ResMan be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages whatsoever of any kind, including without limitation, loss of profits, revenue, data or damages from loss of use or delay, arising out of or in connection with the Payment Services (however arising, under any theory including but not limited to negligence, tort, contract, strict liability or under statute), even if ResMan has been informed in advance of the possibility of such potential claim, loss or damage. The total aggregate liability of ResMan for damages for any action related to the Payment Services will in no event exceed the amount of the fees paid to ResMan in connection with the particular Payment Services transaction giving rise to damages alleged.
