If the change constitutes a material adverse change in the Services (as reasonably determined by you), you may notify FADEL by Written Notice (which, to be effective, must be received by FADEL prior to the effective date of the change) of your request to terminate the Services based upon your objection to the change, which such termination shall be effective prior to or on the date of the change.

Each Party (and any Authorized Personnel to whom it has disclosed Confidential Information), may use Confidential Information only to exercise rights and fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, while using reasonable care to protect it.

Intellectual Property Rights
Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement does not grant either Party any rights, implied or otherwise, to the other’s content or any of the other’s intellectual property. As between the Parties, you own all Intellectual Property Rights in Customer Data, and FADEL owns all Intellectual Property Rights in the Services. Except as expressly allowed by FADEL, any Brand Features, copyright or other proprietary notices, legends, symbols or labels appearing on or in the Service shall not be removed or altered by Customer.
Publicity
Customer will not unreasonably withhold the ability for FADEL to include your name or Brand Features in a list of FADEL customers, whether online or in promotional materials. You also agree that you will not unreasonably withhold the ability for FADEL to verbally reference you as a customer of the FADEL products or services that are the subject of this Agreement. This Section is subject to the Brand Features Limitation section below.
Display of Brand Features
FADEL may display its Brand Features on the Service Pages to indicate that the Services are provided by FADEL. Neither party may display or use the other party’s Brand Features beyond what is allowed in this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent.

Term
This Agreement shall commence and expire on the date as provided for in the Order Form, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement (the “Term”).
Purchases During Services Term
Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, End User Accounts for use in conjunction with the Services that are purchased during the term specified on the Order Form (the “Service Term”) will have a prorated term ending on the last day of that term.
Auto-Renewal
At the end of each Service Term, the Services will automatically renew for an additional term of twelve (12) months by default at the then-current yearly Fees unless you and FADEL mutually agree otherwise. If either party does not want the Services to renew, then it will provide the other party Written Notice to this effect at least fifteen (15) days prior to the end of the then-current Service Term. This notice of non-renewal will be effective upon the conclusion of the then-current Service Term.
Revising Rates
FADEL may revise its rates for the renewal Service Term by providing you notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the start of the renewal Service Term.
Termination by Customer
You may terminate this Agreement for any reason or for no reason upon written notice to FADEL. If you terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section prior to the conclusion of the Term, FADEL will bill you, and you are responsible for paying FADEL, for any fees and other remaining unpaid amounts for the remainder of the Term that would otherwise have been owed had this Agreement not been terminated.
Termination by Customer with a Release
You may terminate this Agreement, and FADEL will provide you with a Release, if FADEL materially breaches this Agreement, and such breach remains uncured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice.
Termination by FADEL
FADEL may suspend performance or terminate this Agreement: (a) with six (6) months’ prior notice to you, in which case FADEL will provide Customer with a Release; (b) if you breach this Agreement, and such breach remains uncured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice; (c) if you are in material breach of this Agreement more than two (2) times notwithstanding any cure of such breaches; or (d) if FADEL reasonably determines that it is commercially impractical to continue providing the Services in light of applicable laws, in which case FADEL will provide you with a Release.
Effects of Expiration or Termination
You are responsible for maintaining, protecting, and making backups of Customer Data prior to loading into the Services. To the extent permitted by applicable law, FADEL will not be liable for any failure to store, or for loss or corruption of, Customer Data. You are encouraged to frequently backup and archive Customer Data which will be uploaded to the Services. FADEL shall provide you access to, and the ability to export, the Customer Data following the expiration or termination of an account or of the Services if requested by you by notice to FADEL within twenty (20) days of the expiration or termination. It is FADEL’s standard practice following the same to delete Customer Data by removing pointers to it on FADEL’s active servers and overwriting it over time, and you acknowledge and agree that FADEL shall not be liable for the same if you do not request the data within the timeframe set forth in the preceding sentence. The termination of the Services will result in the automatic cancellation of all associated Accounts (e.g., End User Accounts, Admin Accounts, etc.). Upon request, each party shall promptly return to the other party, or destroy and certify the destruction of, all Confidential Information of the other party. Any termination of this Agreement shall not affect FADEL’s rights to any payments due by you. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.

Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is found void or unenforceable, it shall be replaced to the extent possible with a provision that comes closest to the meaning of the original provision.

This SLA states Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by FADEL to meet the SLA.
Modifications
FADEL may modify the terms of this SLA to, for example, reflect changes to the law or changes to the Services, notice of which will be posted on this page.

Support Request Submission
Characterization of Requests
Customer shall designate a priority upon submission of a Request. Upon receiving a request, FADEL will determine whether the request is a “Service Unusable,” “Standard Request” or a “Feature Request.” Any such determination made by FADEL is final and binding on Customer. FADEL reserves the right to change Customer’s priority designation if FADEL believes that Customer’s designation is incorrect and will inform Customer of any such change in its response to the support Request. Customer may appeal any such reclassification to FADEL’s Support management for review through any available support channel.
Procedures for Acknowledgement and Resolution of Requests
When making a Request, Customer will provide all requested diagnostic information and assist FADEL Support Personnel as may be required to resolve a Request.
Request Acknowledgement
FADEL may respond to a Request by acknowledging receipt of the Request. Customer acknowledges and agrees that FADEL may be unable to provide answers to, or resolve all, Requests.
Feature Requests
If FADEL deems a Request to be a Feature Request, FADEL will log such Request for consideration to add to a future update or release of the Services and will consider the matter closed.

For clarity, FADEL will not have any obligation to write or build any applications or write code to facilitate the Services.
