Modifications to this Agreement: From time to time, Wazzo Consulting may modify this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified by Wazzo Consulting, changes become effective for Customer upon renewal of the then-current Subscription Term or entry into a new Service Order Form after the updated version of this Agreement goes into effect.

This Agreement will govern Customer’s initial purchase on the Effective Date as well as any future purchases made by Customer that reference this Agreement.
These Terms of Service (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Wazzo Consulting com., a Sierra Leone company (“Wazzo Consulting “or “Provider”) and the person or entity placing an order for or accessing the Service (“Customer” or “you”).

Customer agrees to keep its Account information current, accurate and complete so that Wazzo Consulting may send notices, statements and other information to Customer via email or through its Account, which notifications will be subject to this Agreement and the Privacy Notice. Customer will be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of User login information and credentials for accessing the Services and will notify Wazzo Consulting promptly of any loss, misuse, or unauthorized disclosure of such login information and/or credentials of which Customer becomes aware. Wazzo Consulting and its Affiliates will not be liable for any damage or loss that may result from Customer’s breach of the foregoing obligations.

a. Use of Customer Data. As between the parties, Customer and its licensors retain all right, title and interest (including any and all intellectual property rights) in and to the Customer Data and any modifications made thereto in the course of the operation of the Wazzo Consulting Technology. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Customer hereby grants to Wazzo Consulting and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to process the Customer Data solely to the extent necessary to provide the Services, Software, Mobile Apps, and perform all related obligations owed to Customer under this Agreement, or as may be required by law. Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, content and legality of all Customer Data. Customer warrants that Customer has and will have sufficient rights in the Customer Data to grant the rights to Wazzo Consulting under this Agreement.
Customer agrees not to upload any Customer Data containing electronic patient health records or information (“ePHI”) unless Customer has entered into a business associate agreement with Wazzo Consulting, which will govern the parties’ respective obligations with respect to any ePHI uploaded by Customer to the Services, Software, or Mobile Apps (“BAA”). Upon mutual execution of a BAA, the BAA is incorporated by this reference into this Agreement and is subject to its terms. If Customer is permitted to submit ePHI data into the Service, Software or Mobile App, then Customer may submit such data to Wazzo Consulting and/or the Service only by uploading it as Customer Data. Unless a BAA is in place, Wazzo Consulting will have no liability under this Agreement for ePHI supplied by Customer or any User or End User, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in HIPAA or any similar federal or state laws, rules or regulations. Customer agrees not to upload credit cardholder data to the Service, Software or Mobile App unless Customer’s SOF expressly states that Customer is purchasing the PCI-compliant version of such offerings.
b. Data Security. The parties will comply with the terms of the Data Processing Addendum(“DPA”) located here, which is incorporated into this Agreement by this reference, with respect to the provision and processing of Personal Data as defined in the DPA. Wazzo Consulting will use appropriate technical and organizational measures in the Services to protect the Customer Data from unauthorized access, processing, loss, or disclosure. Wazzo Consulting measures are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing the Customer Data within the Services. Customer understands that Wazzo Consulting and its Affiliates will process Customer Data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, this Agreement, including the DPA, and the Privacy Notice.
4. Intellectual Property
a. Ownership Rights. Customer Data is Customer’s Confidential Information under this Agreement. Customer and its licensors retain all right, title and interest in and to the Customer Data and all of Customer’s Confidential Information provided under this Agreement, and WazzoConsulting obtains no rights in the foregoing except for the express rights granted in this Agreement and the Privacy Notice. Wazzo Consulting and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to Wazzo Consulting Technology. Customer acknowledges that the Services are offered as online, hosted solutions, and that Customer has no right to obtain a copy of the underlying computer code for any Services, except (if applicable) for any downloadable Software, in object code format. Wazzo Consulting may freely use and incorporate into Wazzo Consulting products and services any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, corrections, or other feedback provided by Customer or by any Users or End Users relating to Wazzo Consulting products or services. Feedback and any other suggestions are provided by Customer exclusively “AS IS,” in Customer’s sole discretion, and will not be used by Wazzo Consulting in any way that identifies or permits identification of Customer, its Affiliates, Users, or End Users.
b. Usage Data. Usage Data includes but is not limited to query logs, and any data (other than Customer Data) relating to the operation, support, and/or about Customer’s use of the Services, Software, Wazzo Consulting websites, Wazzo Consulting APIs, or the Wazzo Consulting marketplace (“Usage Data”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Wazzo Consulting may collect and use Usage Data to develop, improve, support, and operate its products and services. Wazzo Consulting may share Usage Data that includes Customer’s Confidential Information with third parties to the extent necessary to provide the Service and in accordance with Section 7 (Confidentiality) of this Agreement. Wazzo Consulting may also utilize Customer Data for its internal business purposes only to the extent such Customer Data has been aggregated and anonymized such that Customer and Customer’s Users and End Users cannot be identified.
c. Updates. Wazzo Consulting may update the Services and Software from time to time and Customer may receive notifications of Updates. Any Updates to the Services and Software are subject to this Agreement. Customer agrees that its purchase of the Services and Software is neither contingent upon the delivery of any future functionality or features, nor dependent upon any oral or written public comments made by Wazzo Consulting with respect to future functionality or features.
d. Other Services. Certain other services, such as third-party applications, are made available to Customer through the Wazzo Consulting Marketplace. These Third Party Services may integrate with the Services and are not licensed by Wazzo Consulting pursuant to this Agreement, but are governed by the third party provider’s terms and conditions and privacy policies that accompany them, which Customer must separately accept. By enabling Third Party Services, Customer understands and agrees that Wazzo Consulting is neither responsible for Customer’s use of these Third Party Services, nor does it provide any warranties whatsoever for these Third Party Services. Wazzo Consulting is not liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with Customer’s enablement, access or use of any such Third Party Services, or Customer’s reliance on the privacy practices, data security processes or other policies of such Third Party Services. Customer understands that Wazzo Consulting is not responsible for providing technical support for the Third Party Services and that Wazzo Consulting is not responsible for the data hosting and data transfer practices followed by the providers of such Third-Party Services.
5. Fees and Payment
a. Fees and Payment. All charges associated with Customer’s Account (“Fees”) are set forth in the applicable SOF or Website, and are due and payable in full within thirty (30) days from the invoice date or as stated in the applicable SOF. Payment obligations are non-cancelable, regardless of utilization by the Customer and except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, Fees paid are non-refundable. Customer will pay the Fees through an accepted payment method as specified in the applicable SOF or Website. Unless otherwise set forth in the SOF, Customer’s subscription to the Services will renew automatically for a Subscription Term in accordance with the renewal terms and conditions set forth in Section 6(b) below. During the Term, the Customer may not reduce their Service Plan or User count.
b. Late Payments. If undisputed Fees are more than thirty (30) days overdue, then, following written notification from Wazzo Consulting, Wazzo Consulting may suspend Customer’s access to the Wazzo Consulting Technology, including, without limitation, Customer’s Account, until such unpaid Fees are paid in full.
c. Payment Disputes. Wazzo Consulting will not exercise its rights under Section 5(b) (Late Payments), 6(d) (Termination for Cause) or Section 6(c)(i) (Suspension of Service) with respect to non-payment by Customer if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve such a dispute within thirty (30) days, each party will have the right to seek any remedies it may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, irrespective of any terms that would limit remedies on account of a dispute. For clarity, any undisputed amounts must be paid in full.
d. Applicable Taxes. The Fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments, including value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes assessable by any local, state, provincial or foreign jurisdiction (collectively “Taxes”). Customer agrees to pay applicable direct or indirect Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder, which, to the extent Wazzo Consulting is legally required to collect the same, will be itemized on the Wazzo Consulting invoice. If Customer has an obligation to withhold any amounts under any law or tax regime (other than U.S. income tax law), Customer will gross up the payments so that the Wazzo Consulting receives the amount actually quoted and invoiced. If Wazzo Consulting has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount will be invoiced and paid by the Customer, unless, prior to the invoice date, the Customer provides Wazzo Consulting with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
e. Orders by Affiliates. Customer’s Affiliates may purchase Services directly from Wazzo Consulting by executing an SOF which is governed by the terms of this Agreement. Such SOF will establish a new and separate agreement between the Customers’s Affiliate and the Wazzo Consulting entity signing such SOF. If the Affiliate resides in a different country than Customer, then the SOF may include modifications to terms applicable to the transaction(s) (including but not limited to tax terms and governing law).
f. Purchases from Channel Partners. Customer may procure use of any Services, Software, or Mobile Apps from a third-party authorized reseller of Wazzo Consulting, including third-party marketplaces (“Channel Partner”) pursuant to a separate agreement with the Channel Partner. Customer’s use of any Services, Software, or Mobile Apps procured through a Channel Partner will be subject to the terms of this Agreement, and all fees payable (including applicable taxes) for such use will be payable to the Channel Partner pursuant to the terms agreed to between Customer and Channel Partner. Customer understands and agrees that, if Customer purchased the Services, Software, or Mobile Apps subscriptions via a Channel Partner, service credits and refunds payable under this Agreement may be payable or applied by Channel Partner acting on behalf of Wazzo Consulting in proportion to the fees paid by Customer to the Channel Partner, and the discharge by the Channel Partner of such obligations will relieve Wazzo Consulting of the same under this Agreement.
6. Term, Termination and Suspension
a. Term. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date (or, for online Customers, the date of sign up on the Website) and will continue through the then-current Subscription Term. Service Plans commence on the start date specified in the relevant SOF (or, for online Customers, the date of sign up on the Website) and continue for the Subscription Term specified therein.
b. Renewal. Unless a party gives written notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the relevant Subscription Term, Service Plans will automatically renew for a period equal to the previous Subscription Term or one year (whichever is shorter). Wazzo Consulting reserves the right to increase the Fees at the beginning of each Subscription Term.
c. Suspension. Wazzo Consulting may suspend Customer’s access to the Services, Software, Mobile Apps and/or Customer’s Account, on the following grounds: (i) late payment/non-payment of undisputed Fees, per the process noted in Section 5(b) above; (ii) non-renewal of the Services by Customer; (iii) Customer’s or its Users’ breach of Section 2 (Use Restrictions); or (iv) in the event suspension is deemed necessary by Wazzo Consulting to prevent or address the introduction of Malicious Software (as defined in Section 8.b below), a security incident, or other harm to Customer, Wazzo Consulting, or Wazzo Consulting other customers. Wazzo Consulting will notify Customer of any such suspension. Wazzo Consulting will use diligent efforts to attempt to limit, where commercially feasible, the suspension to affected Users or Wazzo Consulting Technology, and will immediately restore the availability of the same as soon as the issues leading to the suspension are resolved. Such suspension will in no way affect Customer’s other obligations under this Agreement.
d. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party in the event that (i) such other party materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days of such notice, or (ii) immediately in the event the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors.
e. Free Trial Customers. Upon the expiration of Customer’s free trial, Wazzo Consulting may immediately suspend Customer’s access to the Services. Customer must export Customer Data before the end of the free trial or Customer Data will be permanently deleted. Wazzo Consulting will have no obligation to maintain, store or otherwise retain Customer Data beyond the end of the free trial period.
f. Data Export. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement or any SOF for any reason, Customer’s access to the Services, Software, Mobile Apps, APIs and other Wazzo Consulting Technology will terminate. Wazzo Consulting strongly recommends that Customer export all Customer Data before Customer closes Customer’s Account. Customer agrees, following the termination or expiration of this Agreement or an unrenewed Subscription Term, that Customer Data will be retained or deleted in accordance with the Supplemental Terms, as applicable to Customer. Where Customer Data is retained by Wazzo Consulting and can be exported, and provided that Customer is current on its payment obligations as described in Section 5, Customer may contact Wazzo Consulting within fourteen (14) days following the effective date of termination to have Wazzo Consulting export Customer’s Customer Data. Customer Data cannot be recovered once it is deleted.
7. Confidentiality.
Each party will protect the other’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as it protects its own Confidential Information of similar nature or importance, and in any event, using no less than reasonable care. Except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement, the receiving party may use the disclosing party’s Confidential Information solely to exercise its respective rights and perform its respective obligations under this Agreement, and will disclose such Confidential Information solely to those of its respective employees, representatives and agents who have a need to know such Confidential Information for such purposes and who are bound by obligations to maintain the confidentiality of, and not misuse, such Confidential Information. The provisions of this section will supersede any non-disclosure agreement by and between the parties entered into prior to this Agreement that would purport to address the confidentiality of any information shared by the parties, including Customer Data, and such agreement will have no further force or effect with respect to the foregoing. If the receiving party is required by law or court order to disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party, then the receiving party will, to the extent legally permitted, provide the disclosing party with advance written notification and cooperate in any effort to obtain confidential treatment of the Confidential Information. The receiving party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the receiving party, the disclosing party will be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.
8. Warranties/Disclaimer of Warranties
a. Service Warranty. Wazzo Consulting warrants that the Services, Software or Mobile Apps will perform in all material respects in accordance with the Documentation. Provided that Customer provides written notice of a claim within thirty (30) days after first becoming aware of a breach of the foregoing warranty, Wazzo Consulting will use diligent efforts to correct the Services, Software, or Mobile Apps so the foregoing warranty is met, and if Wazzo Consulting is unable to make such corrections in a timely manner, either party may terminate the applicable SOF, and Customer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, will be entitled to receive a refund of any unused Fees that Customer has pre-paid for the applicable Services, Software or Mobile Apps purchased thereunder. This warranty will not apply if the error or non-conformance was caused by Customer’s breach of this Agreement or Customer’s or its Users’ misuse of the Services, Software, and Mobile Apps, modifications to the Services, Software, and Mobile Apps by anyone other than Wazzo Consulting or its representatives, or third-party hardware, software, or services used in connection with the Services, Software, and Mobile Apps.
b. Malware Warranty. Wazzo Consulting warrants that the Services hosted by Wazzo Consulting will be monitored using commercially available means to attempt to detect and prevent the introduction of any computer instructions, circuitry or other technology means whose purpose or effect is to disrupt, damage or interfere with the authorized use of, or allow access to, the computer and communications facilities or equipment of Wazzo Consulting or Customer, including, without limitation, any code containing viruses, Trojan horses, worms, backdoors, trap doors, time-out devices or similar destructive or harmful code or code that self-replicates (collectively, “Malicious Software”).
c. Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AND ALL SUCH WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
9. Limitation of Liability
a. SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DOWNTIME COSTS, LOSS OF DATA, RESTORATION COSTS, LOST PROFITS, OR COST OF COVER) REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS ARE BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
b. EXCEPT FOR AN ACTION BROUGHT FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, FRAUD, DATA CLAIMS OR IP CLAIMS, EACH PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY AND THAT OF ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS, UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES RECEIVED OR PAYABLE TO FRESHWORKS IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM (“THE GENERAL LIABILITY CAP”).
c. IN THE CASE OF IP CLAIMS AND DATA CLAIMS, FRESHWORKS AND ITS AFFILIATES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO THE CUSTOMER AND ITS AFFILIATES FOR ALL SUCH CLAIMS IN THE AGGREGATE (FOR DAMAGES OR LIABILITY OF ANY TYPE) WILL NOT EXCEED TWO TIMES (2X) THE GENERAL LIABILITY CAP (“SUPERCAP”).
d. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY (OR ITS RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES) BE LIABLE FOR THE SAME EVENT UNDER BOTH THE GENERAL LIABILITY CAP AND THE SUPERCAP. SIMILARLY, THE FOREGOING CAPS WILL NOT BE CUMULATIVE; IF A PARTY (AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES) HAS ONE OR MORE CLAIMS SUBJECT TO EACH OF THOSE CAPS, THE MAXIMUM TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS IN THE AGGREGATE WILL NOT EXCEED THE APPLICABLE CAP.
e. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 9 WILL APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE AND WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THE APPLICABLE MONETARY CAPS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION WILL APPLY ACROSS THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY AND ALL SEPARATE AGREEMENT(S) ON AN AGGREGATED BASIS, WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER ANY INDIVIDUAL CUSTOMER AFFILIATES HAVE EXECUTED A SEPARATE SOF.
10. Indemnification
a. Indemnification by Wazzo Consulting. Wazzo Consulting will defend Customer and its Affiliates, from any third party claim alleging that Customer’s use of the Wazzo Consulting Technology as contemplated hereunder infringes such third party’s patent, copyright and/or trademark intellectual property rights (an “IP Claim”), and will indemnify and hold harmless Customer and its Affiliates from and against any damages and costs awarded against Customer or its Affiliates, or agreed in settlement by Wazzo Consulting (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from such IP Claim. Wazzo Consulting will have no liability or obligation with respect to any IP Claim if such claim is caused in whole or in part by (i) unauthorized use of the Wazzo Consulting Technology by Customer, its Affiliates or Users; (ii) modification of the Wazzo Consulting Technology by anyone other than Wazzo Consulting or its representatives; or (iii) the combination, operation or use of the Wazzo Consulting Technology with other data, hardware or software not provided by Wazzo Consulting. If Customer’s use of the Wazzo Consulting Technology results (or in Wazzo Consulting opinion is likely to result) in an IP Claim, Wazzo Consulting may at its own option and expense (a) procure for Customer the right to continue using the foregoing items as set forth hereunder; (b) replace or modify them to make them non-infringing; or (c) if options (a) or (b) are not commercially reasonably as determined by Wazzo Consulting, then either Customer or Wazzo Consulting may terminate Customer’s subscription to the Service, whereupon Wazzo Consulting will refund Customer, on a pro-rated basis, any Fees Customer has previously paid Wazzo Consulting for the corresponding unused portion. The sections above state Wazzo Consulting entire liability and Customer’s exclusive remedy with respect to an IP Claim.
b. Indemnification by Customer. Customer will defend Wazzo Consulting and its Affiliates from any third party claim (“Claim”), and will indemnify and hold harmless Wazzo Consulting and its Affiliates from and against any damages and costs awarded against Wazzo Consulting and its Affiliates, or agreed in settlement by Customer (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from such Claim, to the extent caused by: (i) Customer’s or its Affiliate’s unauthorized supply, disclosure, or processing of Customer Data, including Personal Data therein, or (ii) Customer’s or its Affiliate’s violation of laws applicable to Customer’s or its Affiliate’s business.
c. Indemnification Procedures. In the event of a potential indemnity obligation under this Section 10, the indemnified party will: (i) promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim, (ii) allow the indemnifying party the right to control the investigation, defense and settlement (if applicable) of such claim at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, and (iii) upon request of the indemnifying party, provide all necessary cooperation at the indemnifying party’s expense. Failure by the indemnified party to notify the indemnifying party of a claim under this Section will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section, however, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any litigation expenses that the indemnified party incurred prior to the time when notice is given or for any damages and/or costs resulting from any material prejudice caused by the delay or failure to provide notice to the indemnifying party in accordance with this Section. The indemnifying party may not settle any claim that would bind the indemnified party to any obligation (other than payment covered by the indemnifying party or ceasing to use infringing materials) or require any admission of fault by the indemnified party, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any indemnification obligation under this Section 10 will not apply if the indemnified party settles or makes any admission with respect to a claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent.
