7.2 Compliance with Law
(a) Both Parties will observe and comply with all applicable laws in connection with their performance under this Agreement. Each Party will notify the other, promptly and without any undue delay, of any discovered unauthorized use of the Services related to the Customer’s receipt of such Services hereunder; provided that such Party is legally able to give such notice. To the extent any End User is under the age of 18, Customer represents and warrants that it is responsible for obtaining any additional consents as required by applicable law.
(b) Mosh JD may suspend the Services, upon notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure, in the event of a material violation by the Customer of any obligation contained in this section 7, until such violation ceases and Mosh JD receives reasonable assurances that such violation will not continue. If Mosh JD believes, in its sole reasonable discretion, that the software, computing equipment, API or network systems owned or controlled by Mosh JD (collectively, “Mosh JD Systems”) are being currently used for criminal activity, in a manner that violates the legal rights of Mosh JD, Mosh JD’s customers (including the Customer), any user of the Mosh JD Software or other third-party, or is experiencing an actual data loss or data misappropriation, or that the continued operation of the Mosh JD Systems places the Mosh JD Systems in potential danger of data loss, data breach, or catastrophic failure, then such suspension may occur prior to the giving of such notice to the Customer.
(c) Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the Customer specifically represents and warrants that neither it, nor any of its affiliates or contractors are (i) currently identified on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the US Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) or any other similar list maintained by OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order or regulation (collectively, the “List”); and (ii) a person or entity with whom a citizen of the United States is prohibited to engage in transactions by any trade embargo, economic sanction, or other prohibition of United States law, regulation, or Executive Order of the President of the United States. Further, the Customer must comply with all relevant laws and ordinances pertaining to corruption, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and, if applicable, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010, with respect to any activities undertaken relating to this Agreement. The Customer must not pay, promise to pay, authorize a payment, give, promise to give, or authorize the giving of anything of value to any government official for purposes of (a) influencing any act or decision of any government official in his, her or their official capacity; (b) inducing any government official to do or omit to do any act in violation of the lawful duty of any official; (c) securing any improper advantage; or (d) inducing any government official to use his, her or their influence with the government or instrumentality of government to affect or influence any act or decision of the government or instrumentality with respect to any activities undertaken relating to this Agreement.
(d) Mosh JD commits to conduct itself in accordance with the operating procedures regarding the secure handling of payment card data in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and will ensure that the provisions of PCI DSS are followed by its employees, as well as any Subcontractors.
7.3 Application Programming Interface Provisions
(a) In connection with its use of the Mosh JD Software, the Customer will be provided with access to an ‘instance’ or ‘deployment environment’ of the Mosh JD Software (a “Mosh JD Instance”). The Mosh JD Instance may be accessible through an Application Program Interface (API) requiring login and API credentials (the “Mosh JD Credentials”). Mosh JD allows the Customer to control, track, and monitor Users with access to the Mosh JD Credentials.
(b) Mosh JD provides documentation disclosing certain protocols and aspects of its Mosh JD Software functionality for building and integrating Third Party Applications (the “API Protocols”), which may be updated from time to time provided however such change will not result in a material degradation of the Customer’s ability to use the Services. Mosh JD expressly disclaims and shall have no liability with respect to how the API Protocols are used. Further, unless otherwise specified by the Parties, in writing in an applicable Order Form or SOW, Mosh JD takes no ownership interest in or rights to any third-party software code that incorporates the API Protocols.
(c) In order to enable the functionality provided by the API Protocols, a requesting party must serve licensed Mosh JD Credentials to the Mosh JD Instance. The Customer expressly understands that Mosh JD does not go beyond a verification of proper Mosh JD Credentials to validate whether or not access to or use of a customer’s Mosh JD Instance is authorized. Accordingly, an unauthorized party may use misappropriated, although valid, Mosh JD Credentials to gain access to and employ the functionality of an otherwise properly licensed Mosh JD Instance. Once the Mosh JD Credentials are validated by the Mosh JD Instance, any software code that is written in accordance with the API Protocols will function with the Mosh JD Instance as designed. Thus, any unauthorized dissemination and distribution of the Mosh JD Credentials may lead to an unauthorized use of a Mosh JD Instance. Mosh JD expressly disclaims and shall have no liability to the Customer, or any third-party, for any loss or damages resulting from how the API Protocols are used, unless and to the extent that the same may be solely and directly attributable to Mosh JD’s actions.

Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, Mosh JD shall make the Customer’s materials available to it for a period of thirty (30) days.

The Customer may use the Transition Services to continue operations and for data retrieval and export purposes, and Mosh JD will provide reasonable migration tools that it generally makes available to its customers for the Customer to retrieve the Customer’s materials and content as a part of providing the Services. In any event where the Customer has elected to receive Transition Services, the Customer represents and warrants that it will work expeditiously and diligently to migrate itself onto an alternative solution.

14. Miscellaneous
14.1 Authority.
Each Party represents and warrants that it has the legal power and authority to enter into this Agreement. When executed and delivered by both Parties, this Agreement will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms.

14.3 Dispute Resolution; Waiver of Jury Trial
(a) In the event that any dispute arises between the Parties with respect to this Agreement, the Parties will first attempt to resolve the dispute, in good faith, through consultation.

The arbitrator’s award (the “Award”) will be final, and judgment may be entered upon it by any court having jurisdiction over such matter. Every arbitrator engaged pursuant to this section 14.3, and all proposed arbitrators, must be at arm’s-length from both Parties and shall not have any interest in the dispute. Each arbitrator shall, subject to applicable rules, determine the procedure for hearing the dispute but shall be caused to give written reasons for material findings of fact and a written decision. Each arbitrator shall determine the liability among the Parties to the dispute for the cost of the dispute resolution process and for the payment of the arbitrator. The Parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the Award, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an Award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by applicable law.
