If the parties determine that certain billing inaccuracies are attributable to Nexus, Nexus will not issue a corrected invoice, but will instead issue a credit notice specifying the incorrect amount in the affected invoice. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Customer waives all claims relating to Fees unless such claims are made within 30 days after being invoiced. Any refunds are at the sole discretion of Nexus and will only be in the form of credit for the Nexus Services. Nothing in this Agreement obligates Nexus to extend credit or to refund any Fees to Customer or any other party. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, all payment obligations are non-cancelable, and Fees are non-refundable. Further, credits used for the Nexus Services are not refundable or otherwise transferrable.

Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, including Section 15, Nexus shall defend, indemnify, and hold Customer harmless against any costs, losses, or damages (including reasonable legal fees) incurred in connection with claims made or brought against Customer by a third party alleging that the access to or use of the Nexus Services as contemplated hereunder infringes or misappropriate the intellectual property rights of a third party (each an “Infringement Claim”); provided, that Customer (1) promptly gives written notice of the Infringement Claim to Nexus; (2) gives Nexus sole control of the defense and settlement of the Infringement Claim; provided that Nexus may not settle any Infringement Claim without Customerʼs prior consent unless it unconditionally releases Customer of all liability and the monetary damages in connection with such settlement are paid by Nexus; and (3) provides to Nexus all reasonable assistance and information. This Section 16 states Nexusʼs sole liability with respect to, and Customerʼs exclusive remedy against Nexus for, any claim against Customer.
The foregoing indemnity in does not extend to (1) any Infringement Claim based upon or arising from Customer Data or infringement or alleged infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property right by the combination of the Nexus Services with other products, software, or services not provided or approved by Nexus, if such infringement would have been avoided but for such combination; (2) any Infringement Claim in respect to any version of the Nexus Services other than the most current version; (3) any use, distribution, sublicensing, or exercise of any other right outside the scope of this Agreement; (4) any access, use, modification, combination, or development of the Nexus Services that is not performed or authorized in writing by Nexus, including in the use of any API; and (5) Customerʼs or Customer End Userʼs breach of this Agreement.

17. Export Control and Economic Sanctions
Customer acknowledges that the Nexus Services may be subject to U.S., foreign, and international export controls and economic sanctions laws and regulations and agrees to comply with all such applicable laws and regulations, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasuryʼs Office of Foreign Assets Control. Customer also specifically agrees not to, directly or indirectly, allow access to or use of the Nexus Services in embargoed or sanctioned countries/regions, by sanctioned or denied persons, or for prohibited end-uses under U.S. law without authorization from the U.S. government.
18. Modifications and Amendments
18.1 To the Services. Nexus may make updates or other changes to the Nexus Services from time to time in its sole discretion without notice to the Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Nexus makes a material change to the Nexus Services, Nexus will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer in writing, including without limitation by posting to the Nexus website at https://blueskynexus.com or its successor site(s), or via the Admin Console as soon as reasonably practicable.
18.2 To this Agreement. Nexus may make changes to this Agreement from time to time in its sole discretion upon written notice, including without limitation by posting on the Nexus website at https://blueskynexus.com/terms/ or its successor site(s), or by notifying Customer via the Admin Console. Changes made to this Agreement will be effective immediately unless otherwise noted by Nexus. Nexus will provide at least 15 daysʼ written notice of any pricing changes to the Nexus Services where possible, including without limitation by notifying Customer via the Admin Console or by updating the Pricing Policy. If Customer does not agree to any changes made to the Agreement, Customer must stop using the Nexus Services. Access or use of the Nexus Services will constitute acceptance of the revised Agreement.
19. Governing Law and Disputes; Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts-of-law principles.
By using the Nexus Services, Customer agrees that any and all disputes, claims or controversies that Customer may have against Nexus or its Representatives arising out of or relating to or connected in any way to (i) Customerʼs or any Customer End Userʼs access to or use of the Nexus Services, or (iii) this Agreement (including the interpretation and scope of this clause and the arbitrability of the dispute), shall be resolved exclusively by mandatory, binding arbitration initiated through and administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Customer further agrees that arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the applicable Rules and Procedures established by AAA, and that any arbitration proceeding, if necessary, will be held in New York, New York or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by Nexus and Customer. Arbitration will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitrator shall apply New York law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. Arbitration rules and forms may be obtained from AAA at https://www.adr.org. In order to initiate arbitration with the AAA, Customer may be responsible for paying a filing fee to the AAA, however, in the event Customer is able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Nexus will reimburse as much of Customerʼs filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. There will be no right or authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class action or representative basis. Customer understands and agrees that, by accepting this Agreement, Customer and Nexus are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action with respect to the claims covered by this mandatory arbitration provision. Customer is thus giving up its right to go to court to assert or defend its rights. A neutral arbitrator will determine Customerʼs rights, and not a judge or jury.
All claims Customer brings against Nexus or its Representatives must be resolved in accordance with this arbitration provision, except that Nexus may seek equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction of the State of New York in accordance with the laws of the State of New York for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights as well as for any other breach of this Agreement. All claims filed or brought by Customer contrary to this provision will be considered improperly filed and void. Should Customer file a claim contrary to this arbitration provision, Nexus will notify Customer in writing of the improperly filed claim, and Customer must promptly withdraw the claim. If Customer fails to promptly withdraw the claim after receiving written notice from Nexus, Nexus may recover its reasonable attorneysʼ fees and costs incurred to enforce this arbitration provision.
If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures established by AAA, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision was not contained herein.
20. Miscellaneous

This Agreement comprises the entire agreement between Customer and Nexus relating to Customerʼs access to and use of the Nexus Services, and supersedes any and all prior discussions, agreements, and understandings of any kind (including without limitation prior versions of this Agreement).

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, superseded, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the validity, legality or enforceability of any of the remaining provisions or notices shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.
20.3 Waiver. Failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver and a single or partial exercise of any right shall not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.

Assignment, transfer, or delegation by Customer will not relieve Customer of its obligations under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment, transfer, or delegation in violation of the foregoing shall be void. This Agreement will bind and insure to the benefit of each party’s successors or permitted assigns.
20.6 Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (except for a failure to pay fees) if the delay or failure results from any cause beyond such partyʼs reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, labor disputes or other industrial disturbances, systemic electrical, telecommunications, or other utility failures, earthquake, storms or other elements of nature, blockages, embargoes, riots, public health emergencies (including pandemics and epidemics), acts or orders of government, acts of terrorism, or war.
