Resolve will process Customer Content in order to provide and enhance the Services and Software. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Customer is at all times the data controller and Resolve is a data processor. Customer represents and warrants that it has all necessary rights in the Customer Content to grant Resolve the right to use, and Customer hereby grants Resolve a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, and fully paid license to use, modify, and distribute the Customer Content as necessary for Resolve to provide and enhance the Services. All rights in and to the Customer Content not expressly granted to Resolve in this Agreement are reserved by Customer. Customer represents and warrants that any Customer Content hosted by Resolve as part of the Services will not (a) infringe or violate the rights of any third party; or (b) be deceptive, defamatory, obscene, or unlawful. Customer acknowledges that any use of the Services by Customer or Authorized Users contrary to or in violation of the representations and warranties of Customer in this section constitutes unauthorized and improper use of the Services. Customer shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, and appropriateness of all Customer Content. The Parties acknowledge that Resolve does not and cannot review all Customer Content and will not be responsible for such content, and that Customer instructs Resolve to delete, move, or edit any Customer Content that Resolve determines violates or might violate this Agreement, or any applicable law or regulation, or is otherwise unacceptable. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Customer Content may be transferred or stored in a Data Center Region. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Customer Content may be shared with third parties as necessary to provide and enhance the Services.
Resolve will process Customer Data as needed to provide the Services. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Customer is at all times the data controller and Resolve is a data processor. Customer represents and warrants that Customer shall only provide to Resolve the minimum amount of personally identifiable information, the extent of which is determined and controlled by Customer in its sole discretion, for each Authorized User, to enable the Authorized User to enjoy the benefit of this Agreement. Customer represents and warrants that Customer is entitled to transfer relevant Customer Data to Resolve so that Resolve may lawfully use, process, and transfer the Customer Data in accordance with this Agreement on Customer’s behalf and Customer shall ensure the same. Customer shall ensure that the relevant third parties, including data subjects, have been informed of, and have given their consent to, such use, processing, and transfer as required by all applicable data protection legislation. Customer acknowledges that Resolve is reliant on Customer for direction as to the extent to which Resolve is entitled to use and process the Customer Data. Resolve shall process the Customer Data only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any written instructions given by Customer. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Customer Data may be transferred or stored in a Data Center Region. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Customer Data may be shared with third parties as necessary to provide and enhance the Services. Resolve will not be liable for any claim brought by an Authorized User arising from any action or omission by Resolve, to the extent that such action or omission resulted from Customer's instructions.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that Resolve may obtain and aggregate Customer Content and/or anonymized Customer Data with respect to Customer or Authorized Users ("Aggregate Content"), and Resolve may utilize the Aggregate Content to analyze, improve, support, and operate the Services, during and after the term of this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that Aggregate Content is not Customer Content or Customer Data.
As of the Effective Date, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer’s authorized representative has evaluated the features and functionality of the Services in a means satisfactory to Customer and accepts that the Services have been demonstrably shown to have all of the features and functionality to Customer’s satisfaction. Customer agrees that its purchases hereunder are neither contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, nor dependent on any oral or written comments made by Resolve regarding future functionality or features.
Resolve and third parties may make available third-party products or services, including, but not limited to, third-party integrations with Autodesk BIM 360 or other similar applications (“Non-Resolve Applications”). Any use by Customer and any exchange of data between Customer and the provider of Non-Resolve Applications is solely between Customer and the applicable provider. Resolve does not warrant or support Non-Resolve Applications or other non-Resolve products or services. If Customer installs or enables a Non-Resolve Application for use with the Services, Customer hereby grants Resolve permission to allow the provider of that Non-Resolve Application to access Customer’s data and content as required for the interoperation of that Non-Resolve Application with the Services. Resolve is not responsible for any disclosure, modification, or deletion of any Customer Data or Customer Content resulting from access by or integration with a Non-Resolve Application. The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with Non-Resolve Applications. To use such features, Customer may be required to obtain access to Non-Resolve Applications from their providers, and may be required to grant Resolve access to Customer’s account(s) on the Non-Resolve Applications. Customer agrees to fully comply with any terms and conditions required by providers of Non-Resolve Applications and obtain all consents necessary for Resolve to receive Customer Data and/or Customer Content from such providers. If the provider of a Non-Resolve Application ceases to make the Non-Resolve Application available for interoperation with the corresponding Service features, Resolve may cease providing those Service features without providing Customer any refund, credit, or other compensation. Customer uses Non-Resolve Applications at its own risk and Resolve is not responsible for any acts or omissions of providers of Non-Resolve Applications. RESOLVE HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY HARM OR DAMAGES CAUSED BY NON-RESOLVE APPLICATIONS.
From time to time, Resolve may invite Customer and Authorized Users to try or discuss certain beta services, including pilot, limited release, developer preview, in-development, non-production, or evaluation services (“Beta Services”) at no charge. Customer may accept or decline any such trial. Beta Services will be clearly designated as such by Resolve. Beta Services and discussions about Beta Services are Resolve’s Confidential Information, for evaluation purposes and not for production use, are not considered Services under this Agreement, are not supported, and may be subject to additional terms. Unless otherwise stated, any Beta Services trial period will expire upon the earlier of one year from the trial start date or the date that a version of the Beta Services becomes generally available. Resolve may discontinue Beta Services at any time and may never make them generally available. BETA SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY AND WITHOUT INDEMNITY. RESOLVE WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR, AND CUSTOMER HEREBY RELEASES RESOLVE FROM ANY LIABILITY OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY BETA SERVICE.
PAYMENT
Customer shall pay Resolve all Subscription Fees specified on the Order Form upon receipt of invoice unless otherwise stated on the Order Form. Overdue payments will be subject to a late fee of 1.5% for each month or fraction thereof that the payment is overdue, or the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. In addition to any other remedies available to Resolve, Resolve shall be entitled to discontinue provision of the Services until all overdue amounts due are paid in full. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, all payments to Resolve are non-refundable and non-cancelable. Customer shall reimburse Resolve for Resolve’s collection costs incurred in attempting to collect any late payments, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
The Subscription Fees stated on the Order Form are exclusive of any federal, state, or other governmental taxes, duties, fees, excises, or tariffs (“Taxes”) now or hereafter imposed on the Services. Customer shall be responsible for, and if necessary shall reimburse Resolve for, all such Taxes on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder, except for taxes imposed on Resolve’s net income. If Resolve has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this Section, Resolve will add such Taxes to the amount invoiced to Customer.
Resolve may audit Customer’s Construction Volume (as specified on the Order Form) to ensure compliance with this Agreement. Resolve will give Customer at least ten days’ advance notice of any such audit and will conduct the audit during normal business hours in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Customer’s normal operations. Customer agrees to reasonably cooperate with and assist Resolve upon receipt of a notice of audit. Such audit will be at Resolve’s expense; however, if any such audit discloses any underpayment by Customer or usage exceeding Customer’s subscription as stated on the Order Form(s), Resolve may invoice Customer and Customer shall immediately pay Resolve such underpaid amount, together with interest thereon at the rate specified in section 4.1, and Customer shall also pay Resolve for Resolve’s expenses associated with such audit.
TERM/TERMINATION.
This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and will remain in effect for the initial term specified on the Order Form (“Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated as provided herein. Upon the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement will automatically be renewed for one year (each such period an “Automatic Renewal Term”) unless one Party gives notice to the other Party at least ten days prior to the end of the Initial Term or unless otherwise specified on the Order Form. The Subscription Fees must be paid on or before the start of the Automatic Renewal Term in order to avoid a termination of Services.
Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon: (1) any material breach of this Agreement by the other Party that is not cured within thirty days (or within ten days in case of failure to pay) following written notice thereof; (2) the other Party becoming insolvent or bankrupt, liquidating or being dissolved, or ceasing substantially all of its business; or (3) a breach of section 11.3. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement or Services authorized in an Order Form, Customer shall immediately discontinue all access and use of the Services. In the event Customer terminates this Agreement for a material and uncured breach by Resolve, Resolve shall, as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, refund to Customer any prepaid but unused Subscription Fees calculated on a straight-line prorated basis for the remainder of the then-current Term. In the event that Resolve terminates the Agreement for a material and uncured breach by Customer, Customer shall continue to pay any fees due to Resolve pursuant to section 4.1. In addition to any other remedies available to Resolve, Resolve may suspend Customer’s or any Authorized Users’ access to the Services, at Resolve’s sole option, in the event of any violation of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, Resolve shall follow the data return procedures outlined in Exhibit A.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.
Resolve will retain all worldwide right, title, and interest (including intellectual property rights) in and to the Site and the Services, the look and feel of the Site, and all copyrights in and to its content. The Site is copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise protected, and owned or licensed by Resolve. Nothing in this Agreement grants Customer or any Authorized User an express or implied right to use any Resolve intellectual property except as set forth in section 3.1 above. All proprietary rights in the Services, including the Software and any aggregate usage data, traffic patterns, and Aggregate Content collected by Resolve in connection with use of the Services, will be the sole and exclusive property of Resolve. Resolve retains the royalty-free right to use any suggestions, ideas, feedback, or other recommendations provided by Customer or Authorized Users relating to the Services. Resolve may use Customer’s name and/or its logo on Resolve’s website and in its marketing materials to indicate that Customer is a client of Resolve. Customer hereby grants Resolve the right to contact Customer and Authorized Users in connection with their use of the Services unless otherwise stated on the Order Form. All other rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved by Resolve.
WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY.
Each Party warrants that it has all necessary authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. Resolve represents and warrants that (1) the Services will perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation under normal circumstances and when used in accordance with this Agreement and applicable Documentation, and (2) the Services provided hereunder will be performed in a professional manner in accordance with prevailing industry standards. Provided that Customer notifies Resolve of any breach of the foregoing warranty during the Term, Resolve shall, as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, provide the support services set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement. The Services may contain links to sites on the Internet that are owned and operated by third parties. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Resolve is not responsible for the availability of, or the content located on or through, any such external site.
The Services are provided “as is”. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Resolve disclaims all other warranties and conditions, express or implied. Resolve expressly disclaims any implied warranties, including the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. Resolve does not warrant that the operation of the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free. Specifically, third-party content and applications are provided “as-is,” exclusive of any warranty. Resolve disclaims all liability for any harm or damages caused by any third-party networking or hosting providers.
Resolve will not be liable for any special, indirect, exemplary, punitive, incidental, or consequential damages of any nature (including Customer’s loss of construction business or Customer’s failure to use the Services). In any event, aside from its obligations in section 8, Resolve’s total maximum liability arising out of or in any way connected to this Agreement will not exceed the amount paid to Resolve by Customer during the twelve-month period immediately preceding such claim. These limitations will apply whether a claim arises under contract, tort or any other theory of liability. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply. In these jurisdictions, Resolve’s liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law. The limitations set forth in this section 7 will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose. The Parties acknowledge and understand that the disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability set forth herein form an essential basis of the agreement between the Parties, reflect an allocation of risk between the Parties, and that absent these disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability, the terms and conditions of this Agreement would be substantially different.
INDEMNITY.
During the Term, Resolve shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Customer from any loss or damages finally awarded or agreed in settlement arising from a third-party action claiming that the Services infringe any duly issued U.S. patent, copyright, or trademark or misappropriate any trade secret. In addition, if the use of the Services infringes or is enjoined, or Resolve believes it is likely to infringe or be enjoined, Resolve may, at its sole option: (a) procure for Customer the right to continue use of the Services as furnished; (b) modify the Services to make them non-infringing, provided that they still substantially conform to the applicable Documentation; or (c) if Resolve, after using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable to accomplish the foregoing remedies, terminate this Agreement and refund to Customer any prepaid but unused Subscription Fees calculated on a straight-line prorated basis for the remainder of the then-current Term. The intellectual property indemnity provided herein does not apply to the extent the alleged infringement arises from (x) any use of the Services not in accordance with this Agreement or as specified in the Documentation, (y) any combination of the Services and third-party applications (including but not limited to Non-Resolve Applications), or (z) any unauthorized modification of the Services. This section states Resolve’s sole and exclusive liability and Customer’s sole remedies for any threatened or actual infringement of proprietary rights.
During the Term, Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Resolve and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, settlements, losses, costs, or expenses of any kind, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of (a) processing of Customer Data within the scope of this Agreement; (b) Customer’s misuse of the intellectual property rights of any third party; and (c) any Customer Content that may violate section 3.5 of this Agreement.
CONFIDENTIALITY.
The Parties and Authorized Users shall, during and after the existence of this Agreement, hold in strictest confidence and will not use for any purpose unrelated to its performance of this Agreement or disclose to any third party, any Confidential Information of the other Party. The term “Confidential Information” means all non- public information that the other Party designates as being confidential, or which, under the circumstances of disclosure, ought to be reasonably understood to be confidential. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, information concerning business methods, pricing, business plans, new product launches, new product development, customer and vendor information, internal policies and procedures, other financial information, technical information and design, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Party shall not disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information without the prior written consent of such other Party, except to its employees, contractors, or agents who have a specific need to know such information and are under a written obligation of confidentiality at least as restrictive as that contained in this section. Information will not be deemed confidential if it (a) was known to the receiving Party and was acquired through proper methods, prior to its receipt from the disclosing Party, as evidenced by written records of the receiving Party; (b) is now or later becomes (through no act or failure on the part of the receiving Party) generally known through no breach of this Agreement by the receiving Party; (c) is supplied to the receiving Party by a third party that is free to make that disclosure without restriction; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving Party without use of or reference to any Confidential Information provided by the disclosing Party. The restrictions on disclosure imposed by this section do not apply to information that is required by law or order of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body to be disclosed by the receiving Party, provided that in each such case the receiving Party provides the disclosing Party with prompt written notice of such order or requirement and reasonably assists the disclosing Party, at the disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate relief. Upon termination of this Agreement, each Party shall promptly cease all further use of Confidential Information, return to the other Party all physical materials containing Confidential Information, whether the materials were originally provided by the disclosing Party or copied or otherwise prepared by the receiving Party, and erase or otherwise destroy any Confidential Information kept by either Party in electronic or other non-physical form. The Parties acknowledge that the receiving Party will not be required to return to the disclosing Party or destroy those copies of Confidential Information residing on the receiving Party’s backup or disaster-recovery systems, or which must be maintained for regulatory or policy purposes; provided that such Party continues to abide by its obligations under this section. Resolve will be deemed to satisfy its obligations to return Confidential Information if it complies with its obligations with respect to the export or availability of Customer Content in Exhibit A. Termination or expiration of this Agreement will not affect each Party’s continuing obligations under this section.
PRIVACY.
Resolve will retain all worldwide right, title, and interest (including intellectual property rights) in and to the Site and the Services, the look and feel of the Site, and all copyrights in and to its content. The Site is copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise protected, and owned or licensed by Resolve. Nothing in this Agreement grants Customer or any Authorized User an express or implied right to use any Resolve intellectual property except as set forth in section 3.1 above. All proprietary rights in the Services, including the Software and any aggregate usage data, traffic patterns, and Aggregate Content collected by Resolve in connection with use of the Services, will be the sole and exclusive property of Resolve.

Customer hereby grants Resolve the right to contact Customer and Authorized Users in connection with their use of the Services unless otherwise stated on the Order Form. All other rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved by Resolve.
GENERAL.
This Agreement may not be modified except by a written instrument signed by both Parties. Failure by either Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.
Neither Party may assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise without the other Party’s prior written consent; except that Resolve may assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer this Agreement without such consent to an affiliate or in connection with any merger, consolidation, reorganization, amalgamation, sale of assets, or any other similar transaction. Any attempt to assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer this Agreement other than in accordance with this provision will be void.
Both Parties shall comply with all applicable local, state, national, and foreign laws, rules, and regulations including all applicable export and import laws and regulations in connection with their performance, access, and/or use of the Services under this Agreement. Customer represents and warrants that Customer, and its directors, officers, employees, and agents, have not taken, and during the term of this Agreement, will not take any action that would constitute a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, the UK Bribery Act 2010, or any other anti-bribery or anti-corruption legislation of the United States, or any other jurisdiction in which Customer or Resolve conducts business.
Customer shall comply with all legal duties applicable to Customer, including obligations as data controller by virtue of Customer’s role in determining Authorized Users. Specifically, Customer shall provide relevant persons and/or participants with all information Customer is required by law to provide, and, if necessary, shall obtain the consent of these persons. The Services and derivatives thereof may be subject to export laws and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions. Customer represents that it is not named on any U.S. government denied-party list. Customer shall not permit Authorized Users to access or use the Services in a U.S.-embargoed country (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, or Crimea) or in violation of any U.S. export law or regulation.
The rights of the Parties hereunder will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. Any suits brought hereunder must be brought in the federal or state courts serving Santa Barbara County, California. In the event of any claim, action, or judicial proceeding arising under this Agreement, the prevailing Party will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in resolving such claim, action, or judicial proceeding.
If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force. Any notice, consent, or other communication hereunder must be in writing, and must be given personally, or sent via overnight delivery or via email with confirmation of receipt, to either Party at its respective address set forth in the Order Form (or such other address as provided by that Party), or by Resolve to Customer via notification from the Services. Notices will be deemed given when delivered.
The relationship of the Parties is that of independent contractors and nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed to make either Party an agent, partner, joint venturer, or representative of the other for any purpose. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy under or by reason of this Agreement.
Nonperformance by either Party (other than Customer’s payment obligations) will be excused to the extent failure to perform is beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing Party.
This Agreement, together with any URLs contained herein, any exhibits, and the Order Form(s), constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and replaces any prior understandings, written or oral. Further, under no circumstances will the provisions of any document issued by Customer (including, but not limited to, any request for quotes or proposals, purchase orders, non-disclosure agreements, Customer exhibits to this Agreement, and vendor forms or registrations with terms that conflict with this Agreement) be deemed to modify, alter, or expand the rights, duties, or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement, regardless of any failure of Resolve to object to such terms, provisions, or conditions. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Order Form, the Order Form will prevail. In addition to any rights that accrued prior to termination, the provisions of sections 3.7, 4, and 6 through 11 will survive any termination of this Agreement.
MAINTENANCE
SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
Resolve has a service-level objective for the Services of 99% availability, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Downtime does not include (i) problems caused by factors outside of Resolve’s reasonable control, or (ii) unavailability of the Services during scheduled maintenance.
SUPPORT
During the Term, Customer and Authorized Users will have access to technical support via telephone, online chat, email, or self-paced online tutorials. Support hours will be standard business hours Monday through Friday, 10am a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time (“ET”) Friday, excluding holidays. Support does not include training sessions on the features and functionality of the Services (implementation) or training in computer skills considered prerequisite to an individual’s ability to use personal computers, the Internet/World-Wide Web, Non-Resolve Applications, Customer’s hardware, and online software. Upon Resolve’s receipt of a support request, Resolve will use commercially reasonable efforts to answer questions and provide standard error corrections to known problems.
DATA SECURITY AND DELETION
During the Term, Resolve shall make commercially reasonable efforts to protect the security of Customer Content/Customer Data. The Services do not replace the need for Customer to maintain regular data backups or redundant data archives.
Resolve contracts with a third-party data center provider to provide technology services such as network connectivity to the Internet for the servers running the Services. Personnel access to the data center used by Resolve for these Services is restricted, and all entrances and common areas are monitored 24x7 via closed- circuit cameras. Public access to the data center is forbidden. Fire-suppression systems are located in the data center, and power systems in the data center are designed to run uninterrupted even in the event of a total power outage. All servers are supplied with Uninterruptible Power Supply (“UPS”) power sources that will continue to run if utility power fails. The UPS power subsystem is fully redundant, with instantaneous failover in case the primary UPS fails. In the event of an extended power outage, Resolve relies on onsite diesel generators. Generators are regularly tested to ensure functionality in the event of an emergency.
Customer allows Resolve after such thirty-day period to delete all Customer Content/Customer Data.
MAINTENANCE
If a system failure occurs that creates an outage of the Services, Resolve will utilize commercially reasonable means to end the outage as soon as possible. Outages due to the Internet, hosting providers, and/or Customer or Authorized User systems are outside Resolve’s control and, in such event, Resolve may assist the Customer or Authorized User in the diagnosis but may not be able to resolve the problem.
From time to time, Resolve or its hosting providers will perform preventative maintenance, such as updating servers and routers with security patches, and software upgrades. Resolve will provide notice prior to any interruption in the Services for scheduled maintenance and will keep any resulting downtime reasonable. Resolve will use reasonable efforts to perform such maintenance during non- peak hours.
