(i) You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless TR.SSDCPI.COM, its Affiliates, and each of their respective agents, licensors, employees, officers and directors from and against any Claims to the extent they arise out of or in relation to: (1) your Application, product, service or User Data, including without limitation, their alleged infringement or misappropriation of the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party; (2) you or your End Users’ use of the Services or Software, including without limitation any (A) alleged violation of Data Protection Laws (as defined in the Data Processing and Security Agreement) by you, your End User(s), TR.SSDCPI.COM, or its Affiliate(s) in connection with such use; (B) alleged violation of any other applicable laws and regulations by you, your End Users, TR.SSDCPI.COM, or its Affiliates in connection with such use; (C) alleged violation of third party rights by you, your End Users, TR.SSDCPI.COM, or its Affiliates; and/or (D) such use that would constitute a violation of these Terms; and/or (3) the use of any products, services, data, software, hardware or business processes not provided by or on behalf of TR.SSDCPI.COM or its Affiliates. (ii) TR.SSDCPI.COM will provide you with: (1) prompt written notice of any Claims; and (2) reasonable assistance, at your expense, to defend or settle the Claim. TR.SSDCPI.COM and its Affiliates retain the right to appoint additional counsel of their choice to participate in defending or settling the Claims, in which case the counsel retained by you will consult with the counsel appointed by TR.SSDCPI.COM or its Affiliates and will give them the opportunity to provide comments on defense and settlement strategies. (iii) TAt your option, you may settle any such Claims, provided that any settlement requiring TR.SSDCPI.COM or its Affiliates or their agents, licensors, employees, officers or directors to admit liability, pay money, or take or refrain from taking any action will require TR.SSDCPI.COM’s or the Affiliate’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). (iv) Without limiting the foregoing, you agree to pay any final judgment entered against TR.SSDCPI.COM or its Affiliates or their licensors, employees, officers and directors including without limitation any damages, costs, penalties, fees, disgorgement, restitution, and interest, or in the event of settlement, any settlement amounts agreed to by you, as a result of those Claims. You also agree to reimburse us for any costs and reasonable attorney’s fees spent responding to any third-party subpoena, legal order or other processes associated with such Claims.
(g) Independent Allocations of Risk. Each provision of these terms that provides for a limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranties, or exclusion of damages is intended to allocate the risks of these terms between you and TR.SSDCPI.COM. This allocation is reflected in the fees charged by TR.SSDCPI.COM to you and is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between you and TR.SSDCPI.COM. Each of these provisions is severable and independent of all other provisions of these terms, and each of these provisions will apply even if the limited remedies in these terms have failed of their essential purpose.
12. TRADE COMPLIANCE
(a) Your Status. You represent and warrant that neither you, nor any of your officers, directors, shareholders, agents or employees, are: (i) listed in any list of designated persons maintained by the United States (including, without limitation, the list of “Specially Designated Nationals” as maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department), the PRC, the United Nations Security Council, the United Kingdom (including the Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets as maintained by His Majesty’s Treasury), the European Union and any Member State thereof (including the Consolidated List of Persons, Groups and Entities Subject to Financial Sanctions), or any other list of restricted persons maintained by any authority with jurisdiction over you (any person so listed being a “Restricted Person”); (ii) organized under the laws of, operating from or located or resident in a country or territory that is the target of comprehensive sanctions (as of the date of last update of these Terms, including Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea/Sevastopol region and the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (collectively, “Sanctioned Territories”)); or (iii) controlled or owned 50 percent or more (directly or indirectly) in the aggregate, by one or more Restricted Persons.
(b) Trade Compliance. In connection with your use of the Services, you will comply with all applicable export controls and economic sanctions laws and regulations of the United Nations, PRC, United States, European Union including its member states, the United Kingdom and other applicable government authorities including without limitation the U.S Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) and the economic sanctions rules and regulations implemented under statutory authority and/or the U.S. President’s Executive Orders and administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (collectively, “Trade Laws”). You agree not to engage in any activities in connection with the use of the Services that would violate Trade Laws or that would risk placing TR.SSDCPI.COM in breach of any Trade Laws. You are solely responsible for compliance with Trade Laws related to the manner in which you choose to use the Services, including: (i) your transfer and processing of User Data; (ii) the provision of User Data to End Users; and (iii) specifying the Service Region in which any of the foregoing occur. For the avoidance of doubt, these Terms require you to, and you are solely responsible for complying with Trade Laws in the use of the Services by you and your End Users.
(c) Trade Compliance Event. (i) If you become a Restricted Person or controlled or owned by 50% or more (directly or indirectly) in the aggregate, by one or more Restricted Person; (ii) if provision of or use of the Services becomes otherwise restricted or prohibited as a consequence of the imposition of sanctions or by operation of Trade Laws; (iii) if TR.SSDCPI.COM determines at its sole discretion that a breach of the foregoing Sections 12(a) or (b) by you has occurred or is at risk or occurring; or (iv) if TR.SSDCPI.COM reasonably believes that you or your End User are, or are at risk, of being in violation of Trade Laws or are engaging in activities that would risk placing TR.SSDCPI.COM in breach of any Trade Laws, TR.SSDCPI.COM shall not be obliged to perform any of its obligations under these Terms or continue to provide the Services and shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to terminate these Terms and the provision of the Services with immediate effect, without liability. TR.SSDCPI.COM is also entitled to, at its sole discretion, take any other remedial actions or relevant actions against you as it deems appropriate in light of the circumstances, including but not limited to, requesting you to remove any content that is subject to export control.
13. TRADE COMPLIANCE
(a) Independent Contractors. The relationship of the parties established by these Terms is that of independent contractors, and nothing contained in these Terms should be construed to give either party the power to: (i) act as an agent; or (ii) direct or control the day-to-day activities of the other. Financial and other obligations associated with each party’s business are the sole responsibility of that party and neither party has authority to bind the other party.
(b) Non-Assignability and Binding Effect. Neither party may assign or otherwise transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, its rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of the other party, except that TR.SSDCPI.COM may freely assign or otherwise transfer these Terms without your consent: (i) in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of TR.SSDCPI.COM’s assets; or (ii) to any Affiliate or as part of a corporate reorganization. Upon such assignment or transfer taking effect, the successor or permitted assigns (as the case may be) shall assume assignor/transferor’s liability and assignor/transferor is released from the same. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of the foregoing restriction will be void. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
(c) Consent to Electronic Communications. By using the Services, you consent to receiving certain electronic communications from us as further described in our Privacy Policy. Please read our Privacy Policy to learn more about our electronic communications practices. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically, whether by e-mail, through the Services platform, or otherwise, will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that those communications be in writing.
(d) Force Majeure. If the performance of these Terms is prevented, delayed, hindered or restricted, or TR.SSDCPI.COM breaches these Terms due to an event of force majeure, including but not limited to: (i) natural disasters; (ii) acts of government; (iii) promulgation or change of laws, regulations or policies (including Trade Laws, sanctions, restrictive measures or regulations); (iv) strikes or unrest; or (v) any significant change of circumstances (including changes in applicable laws which would render provision of Services potentially illegal or different from that contemplated by the parties at time of the acceptance of these Terms or first download, install, access, or use the Services), foreseeable or otherwise, in no case shall TR.SSDCPI.COM be liable for the breach of these Terms, or be otherwise liable for any such failure or delay in the performance of such obligations. If any of the abovementioned events persists for more than 15 calendar days, TR.SSDCPI.COM may terminate these Terms, without assuming any liability, by immediate written notice to you.
(e) Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. Except as provided in the North America Terms, EEA Consumer Terms, PRC Service Region Terms, Germany Terms, South Korea Terms or other region-specific or Service-specific terms, any claims for equitable relief may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction even if the parties have chosen an exclusive venue below. These Terms are governed by the jurisdiction set forth in Section 3. Unless the North America Terms, EEA Consumer Terms, PRC Service Region Terms, Germany Terms South Korea Terms or other region-specific or Service-specific terms specify otherwise, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, will be resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted. The seat of the arbitration will be Hong Kong and the language will be English. All proceedings will be confidential and there will be one arbitrator only.
(f) Waiver and Severability. The waiver by either party of any breach of these Terms does not waive any other breach. Neither party will be treated as having waived any rights by not exercising (or delaying the exercise of) any rights under these Terms. If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the remaining portions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
(g) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. These Terms are not intended to confer any benefits on any third party except to the extent that it expressly states that it does. End Users are not third party beneficiaries to these Terms.
(h) Entire Agreement. These Terms and the Additional Terms are the final and complete expression of all agreements between you and TR.SSDCPI.COM regarding their subject matter and supersede all prior oral and written agreements regarding these matters. The Additional Terms referred to in these Terms are incorporated by this reference. In the event of any conflict between the Terms and the Additional Terms, the inconsistency shall be resolved by giving preference to the following in the order that they are listed: (i) the Data Processing and Security Agreement (which shall govern with respect to processing of Personal Data as applicable to the relevant Services); (ii) these Terms; and (iii) the Additional Terms, provided, however, that the terms and conditions of the PRC Service Region Terms, the North America Terms, the EEA Consumer Terms, Germany Terms, South Korea Terms or other region-specific terms will govern with respect to the Services, if applicable. TR.SSDCPI.COM shall not be bound by any term which is different from, modifies or otherwise in addition to the terms of these Terms, unless modified in accordance with these Terms, or otherwise agreed in writing. Where applicable, if you enter into a separate service agreement with TR.SSDCPI.COM in respect of the Services, and where expressly provided by that service agreement, the terms of the service agreement shall prevail to the extent that there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of that service agreement and these Terms. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that any terms and conditions in any customer-issued purchasing forms, request for proposal, vendor questionnaire or similar shall not apply and TR.SSDCPI.COM disclaims the same.
(i) Modification of these Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Cookies Policy. TR.SSDCPI.COM may amend these Terms, including the Additional Terms, from time to time by posting updated versions to the TR.SSDCPI.COM site. Unless specifically provided in these Terms or the Additional Terms, or otherwise indicated by TR.SSDCPI.COM, the amended terms will take effect within 30 calendar days after they are posted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any changes relating to TR.SSDCPI.COM’s Services or product functionalities shall take effect immediately. TR.SSDCPI.COM will use reasonable efforts to notify you of the changes, but you are responsible for periodically checking these Terms, including the Additional Terms, for any modifications. Your continued use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of any amended Terms. Amended terms are not applicable retroactively.
(j) Language. All communications and notices in relation to these Terms shall be made or given in either English or Chinese. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any translations of these Terms are made, the Chinese version shall prevail.
(k) Publicity. You agree that TR.SSDCPI.COM may refer to you as a customer of TR.SSDCPI.COM and use your name and logo in TR.SSDCPI.COM’s marketing materials and websites. Except as otherwise permitted by law, you shall not issue any press release or make any other public communication with respect to these Terms, or the fact that TR.SSDCPI.COM is providing Services for you. You shall not use TR.SSDCPI.COM’s trademarks, service marks, service or trade names, logos (“TR.SSDCPI.COM Marks”); or identify TR.SSDCPI.COM as a supplier of the Services without prior written consent of TR.SSDCPI.COM. Notwithstanding the permission granted, unless otherwise agreed by TR.SSDCPI.COM in writing, your limited permission to identify TR.SSDCPI.COM for such purposes and for the use of TR.SSDCPI.COM’s Marks shall terminate as soon as these Terms expire or are terminated, whichever is sooner. Your use of the TR.SSDCPI.COM Marks shall be subject to any terms, conditions, or guidelines that TR.SSDCPI.COM may issue from time to time.
(l) Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given under these Terms will be effective if it is in writing and sent by certified or registered mail, or insured courier, return receipt requested, to the appropriate party at the address set forth above (in the case of TR.SSDCPI.COM) and the registered billing address or any other address registered with us (in your case) and with the appropriate postage affixed. Either party may change its address for receipt of notice by notice to the other party in accordance with this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notices, communications, or disclosures sent electronically by TR.SSDCPI.COM through email, the platform for the Services or otherwise, shall be deemed a valid and binding notice required or permitted to be given under these Terms.
