By accessing or using our Platform, you expressly acknowledge and agree that the company whose details you have inserted as part of the initial set-up process (“you”) is entering a legal agreement with us and has understood and agrees to comply with, and be legally bound by, these Terms of Use. These Terms of Use together with the online account information you provided as part of the initial set-up process (“Account”) and pricing and subscription terms you have read and accepted during the registration to the Platform or by executing the applicable purchase order (“Subscription Plan”) (together, “Terms”) , constitute a binding agreement (“Agreement”). You hereby waive any applicable rights to require an original (non-electronic) signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, to the extent not prohibited under applicable law. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms please do not access or use our Platform. Furthermore, if you are acting on behalf of an entity, you represent that you are authorized to act on behalf of, and bind to this Agreement, such entity.

1. Background. Squadded is engaged, inter alia, in the research, development, marketing and commercialization of its Platform which enables its users (“Users”) to interact, chat and invite other Users, to shop online and collectively in a group (“Squad”). Every time a User accesses the Platform, it should be considered one “Session” as detailed in the Subscription Plan.
2. Modification. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change these Terms at any time. Such change will be effective 10 days following posting of the revised Terms on our Platform, and your continued use of the Platform thereafter means that you accept those changes. Squadded therefore encourages you to check the Platform regularly to see the most current Terms.
3. Platform Access. For the Term (defined below), we hereby grant you permission to use the Platform provided that you comply with these Terms and applicable law. In order to perform the installation of the Platform on the website into which you want the Platform to be integrated, as listed in your Account (the "Website"), Squadded will provide a code/script to you (the “Code”) that will be added by you on all relevant website pages. You and Squadded agree that access to the Platform and to the Website will always be free of charge to Users.
4. Feedback. You shall report to Squadded any feedback received from Users and/or any deficiencies or irregularities noticed by you as soon as practicable (“Feedback”). In any event of defects, lagging or deficiencies of the Platform, as reported by you or the Users, Squadded shall use reasonable efforts to rectify such deficiencies as soon as practicable, at its expense.
5. Fees and Payments.
5.1 You shall pay Squadded either a monthly fee (“Monthly Fee”) or annual fee (“Annual Fee”), as shall be set out in your Subscription Plan.
5.2 The Subscription Plan shall also detail the number of Sessions included in the Monthly Fee or Annual Fee. In the event the number of Sessions exceeds the Sessions included in the Monthly Fee or Annual Fee (as determined by Squadded), you shall pay such excess costs in accordance with the per-Session cost detailed in your Subscription Plan.
5.3 Both the Monthly Fee and Annual Fee shall be paid, within 30 days of your receipt of a due invoice from Squadded, or as otherwise detailed in your Subscription Plan.
5.4 VAT shall be added to all amounts payable hereunder, if applicable.
5.5 All amounts paid to Squadded by you are quoted in this Agreement including the Subscription Plan, shall be exclusive (net) of any taxes, customs, and fees, which may apply. If any taxes are required to be withheld, you shall pay Squadded an additional amount such that after such withholding, the payment will equal the amount that would have been otherwise payable under this Agreement.
6. Confidential Information. Each party (“Recipient”) may have access to certain non-public or proprietary information of materials of the other party (“Discloser”) and/or Confidential Information of the Discloser. “Confidential Information” means any and all information, in tangible (paper, disk or other) or non-tangible (oral or visual) form, whether of a technical, business or other nature, including without limitation, any information related to the pricing of Squadded’s services. Recipient shall maintain the Confidential Information in confidence, and protect it from disclosure, using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, as Recipient uses to protect its own confidential information. Recipient may use the Confidential Information only for the purpose of this Agreement and shall prevent any other use, dissemination, communication, or publication thereof. Recipient shall not use or exploit or permit others to use or exploit the Confidential Information (i) for any purpose other than the use of the Platform and/or (ii) in order to promote interests which compete with the Discloser’s business. Recipient shall be responsible for any breach of the Agreement made by its employees as if Recipient itself had made such breach. The Recipient's obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall not apply with respect to Confidential Information which the Recipient can prove: (a) was known to Recipient before receipt from Discloser; (b) is or becomes a matter of public knowledge through no fault of Recipient; (c) is rightfully received by Recipient from a third party which owes no obligation of confidentiality to the Discloser; or (d) is independently developed by Recipient. If Recipient is required to disclose Confidential Information to a government body or court of law, Recipient agrees to give Discloser notice so that Discloser may contest the disclosure or obtain a protective order. Recipient shall only disclose that portion of the Confidential Information that Recipient is legally obligated to do so. In the event that the Parties entered into a non-disclosure agreement prior the signature hereof (the “NDA”), the provisions of the NDA shall be deemed to supersede and prevail over the provisions of this Section and shall be deemed extended to cover all information disclosed under these Terms.
7. Ownership. All title, rights and interest in the Platform and/or Feedback, shall be deemed the sole and exclusive property of Squadded and any and all patents, copyrights, trademarks, designs, inventions, trade secrets, know-how, technology, algorithms, or any other intellectual property rights, whether registered or not (and any applications therefor) including, but not limited to, all enhancements, improvements, derivatives, modifications and discoveries thereof and goodwill associated therewith, shall vest solely in Squadded (“Squadded IP”). You acknowledge that you have no rights, title or interest in or to the Squadded IP.

The initial term and each renewal term thereafter (if any) shall collectively be referred to as the “Term.” Either party may terminate this Agreement: (a) immediately upon written notice to the other party, if the other party materially breaches this Agreement and, if curable, fails to cure that breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice specifying the breach; and/or (b) immediately upon written notice to the other party, if the other party is declared bankrupt, or, in the event an involuntary bankruptcy action is filed against such other party, it has not taken, within sixty (60) days from service of such action to such party, any action under applicable law for such filed action to be dismissed. Upon termination hereof for any reason, Section 6 (Confidential Information), Sections 7 (Ownership), 8 (Publication), 10 (Liability), 7 (Term and Termination), and 13 (Miscellaneous) shall survive termination hereof for any reason.

The failure or neglect of either party hereto to enforce at any time or for any period any right or provision hereof in accordance with its terms shall not be construed as a waiver of such right or provision, or such Party shall be entitled to enforce such right or provision as it shall see fit. In the event that any of the terms, conditions or provisions contained in this Agreement shall be determined invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision shall be modified to the extent necessary to make it valid, rather than such provision being declared invalid or void for such reason. The relationship of the parties is solely that of independent contractors and neither party has any authority to enter into agreements of any kind on behalf of the other party.
