Ribbit Services may also make available materials, information, and services provided by third parties. These Third Party Services are provided by separate companies under license agreements that accompany those services. Ribbit offers no guarantees and assumes no responsibility or liability of any type with respect to the Third Party Services, including any liability resulting from incompatibility between the Third Party Services and the Ribbit Services. You agree that You will neither hold nor seek to hold Ribbit responsible or liable with respect to the Third Party Services. ARTICLE 4 TERMINATION 4.1 Termination by Ribbit.

Items not disputed within thirty (30) days after the applicable invoice date shall be deemed to be correct. 6.2.2 You agree that any and all payments by You will be made to Ribbit via credit or debit card, issued by a U.S. bank or other bank as may be acceptable to Ribbit in its sole discretion. Ribbit may change the types of cards accepted at any time at its sole discretion. Ribbit may, at its sole discretion, elect to send You monthly invoices, which invoices shall be payable in full within 30 days of receipt. You are solely responsible for the use of the account from which payment is made. If You provide an account number that Ribbit accepts for payment of Your monthly bills, You are authorizing Ribbit to charge all amounts You owe, then or later, to that account and to demand immediate payment from the card issuer. You also agree to pay, under the terms of Your agreement with Your card issuer, the amounts charged to Your account. Each time You use Ribbit Services, You reaffirm that Ribbit is authorized to charge Your card. You agree to authorize Ribbit to charge purchases made online to the account supplied by You to Ribbit when You licensed the SDK, or the account that Ribbit has on file for You when You make a purchase. You agree to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation, attorney's fees incurred by Ribbit to collect any monies due under this Agreement. It is Your responsibility to notify Ribbit promptly if the card information You have provided is no longer accurate.

ARTICLE 10 MISCELLANEOUS 10.1 Government End Users. If the Ribbit Software and Services are supplied to or purchased by or on behalf of the United States Government, then the Ribbit Software and Services are deemed to be "commercial software" as that term is used in the Federal Acquisition Regulation system. Rights of the United States shall not exceed the minimum rights set forth in FAR 52.227-19 for "restricted computer software." All other terms and conditions of this Agreement apply. 10.2 Confidential Information. Each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical, financial and other proprietary information it obtains (“Receiving Party”) from the disclosing party (“Disclosing Party”) constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. The Ribbit Services, technical information and other code or data of any type provided by Ribbit (or its agents) shall be deemed trade secret and Confidential Information of Ribbit without any marking or further designation. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are Confidential Information of Ribbit. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence and not use or disclose any Confidential Information except to affiliates or advisors who are under an obligation of confidentiality equivalent to this Section 9 and have a need to know such Confidential Information. The Receiving Party’s nondisclosure obligation shall not apply to information which the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information; or (v) is required to be disclosed pursuant to a regulation, law or court order (but only to the minimum extent required to comply with such regulation or order and with advance notice to the Disclosing Party). The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm to the Disclosing Party that could not be remedied by the payment of damages alone and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever remedies it might have at law. 10.3 Choice of Law and Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California, U.S.A., without regard to conflicts of laws provisions thereof, and without regard to the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. You hereby agree that all actions or proceedings arising directly or indirectly from or in connection with this Agreement shall be litigated only in the state or federal courts in and for Santa Clara County, California. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the foregoing courts and consent that any process or notice of motion or other application to either of said courts or a judge thereof may be served inside or outside the state of California by registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to such party at its address set forth in this Agreement or in Ribbit’s records (and service so made shall be deemed complete five (5) days after the same has been posted as aforesaid) or by personal service or in such other manner as may be permissible under the rules of said courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, You agree that Ribbit shall be entitled to apply for injunctive or equitable remedies in any jurisdiction as it deems necessary. 10.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF YOU AND RIBBIT HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION AS BETWEEN THE PARTIES DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISPUTES RELATING HERETO. 10.5 Limitation on Actions. You may not institute any action or legal proceedings in any form arising out of this Agreement or Your use of the Website or the Ribbit Services more than twelve (12) months after the cause of action has arisen. 10.6 Waiver and Severability. Failure by Ribbit to exercise any of its rights under, or to enforce any provision of, this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of such rights or ability to enforce such provision, and those rights or remedies shall remain available to Ribbit. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same effect of the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. 10.7 General Provisions. This Agreement (including the documents, such as the API Terms of Use ToS, incorporated by reference herein) embodies the entire understanding and agreement between You and Ribbit respecting the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes any and all prior understandings and agreements between You and Ribbit respecting the Ribbit Software and Services. This Agreement has been prepared in the English language and such version shall be controlling in all respects and any non-English version of this Agreement is solely for accommodation purposes. Any and all rights and remedies of You or Ribbit upon breach or other default under this Agreement will be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by law or equity on either party, and the exercise of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other. The captions and headings appearing in this Agreement are for reference only and will not be considered in construing this Agreement. 10.8 Press Releases and Other Publicity. You may not issue any press release or make any other public statement regarding this Agreement, its terms and conditions, or the relationship of the parties without Ribbit’s express prior written approval, which may be withheld in Ribbit’s sole discretion. 10.9 Assignment.
