SPENDBASE CLOUD PLATFORM TERMS OF SERVICE

Please read these Spendbase Cloud Platform Terms of Service (“Terms” or “Agreement”) carefully before activating, accessing, or using the Spendbase Platform. These Terms constitute a binding agreement between Spendbase, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, registered address at 16192 Coastal Highway, Lewes, DE 19958, registration number 61-2064269 (together with its subsidiaries and Affiliates, “Spendbase”); and the legal entity accepting these Terms (“you” or the “Client”). These Terms govern the Client’s access to and use of the Spendbase cloud management and optimization platform, including all associated software, tooling, workflows, onboarding support, visibility features, and related platform functionality (collectively, the “Platform”). By accepting these Terms through Spendbase’s designated online acceptance process (including electronic checkbox acceptance), you agree, without reservation, to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Platform. These Terms may only be accepted on behalf of a legal entity. By accepting, you represent and warrant that you have full authority to bind the Client. Spendbase relies on this confirmation and will not be responsible for verifying such authority. If it is later determined that you lacked authority, the Client shall remain bound by these Terms, and you shall be personally responsible for any resulting obligations or losses. By accepting these Terms, you acknowledge and agree that:

(A) Cloud services (AWS, GCP, Azure, and others) are provided directly by the applicable cloud provider and remain subject to that provider’s own agreements and policies; nothing in these Terms modifies those agreements;

(B) Any cloud incentives, discounts, promotional benefits, or savings are discretionary, controlled entirely by the applicable cloud provider, and are not contractual deliverables of Spendbase;

(C) Spendbase does not sell cloud services and does not act as a cloud reseller under these Terms; and

(D) The Client remains solely responsible for all amounts payable directly to cloud providers for its cloud usage.

1. Definitions

For the purposes of these Terms, the following definitions shall apply:

1.1. “Agreement” means these Terms together with any other documents signed by the Parties expressly incorporated by reference;

1.2. “Affiliate” means any entity (i) which controls a Party; (ii) which is controlled by a Party; or (iii) which is controlled by an entity that also controls a Party; where “control” means possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of an entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise;

1.3. “Cloud Provider” means any third-party cloud infrastructure provider, including without limitation Amazon Web Services, Inc. (“AWS”), Google LLC (“GCP”), or Microsoft Corporation (“Azure”);

1.4. “Confidential Information” means any non-public business, technical, financial, or other information disclosed by one party (“Discloser”) to the other party (“Recipient”), whether orally, in writing, or by any other means, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure;

1.5. “Effective Date” means the date on which the Client accepts these Terms;

1.6. “Engagement Milestone” means the point at which Spendbase commences delivery of Platform optimization work in respect of the Client, including (without limitation) Platform-driven cost analysis, baseline assessment, infrastructure or account review, onboarding configuration, or any other Platform activity directed at producing Savings for the Client, irrespective of whether any Savings have at that time been realized, measured, or invoiced. The Engagement Milestone shall be evidenced by written notification from Spendbase to the Client (which may be delivered by email) confirming the commencement of such work, or by any other documented record reasonably demonstrating that such work has been undertaken.

1.7. “Intellectual Property Rights” means all patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, database rights, and other intellectual or industrial property rights, whether registered or unregistered;

1.9. “Platform Fee” means the fee payable by the Client for access to the Platform, as calculated in Section 5;

1.10. “Savings” means the verifiable reduction in the Client’s cloud spend attributable to the Client’s use of the Platform, calculated as the difference between (i) the Client’s prior or applicable standard cloud spend baseline and (ii) the actual cloud spend during the relevant billing period, as documented through Platform reporting.

2. Platform Access and Services

2.1. Subject to the Client’s compliance with these Terms and payment of all applicable Platform Fees, Spendbase grants the Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Platform during the Term solely for the Client’s internal business purposes.

2.5. Spendbase may make the Platform available through authorized Affiliates. References to Spendbase’s performance obligations include performance by such Affiliates.

3. Cloud Provider Relationships

3.1. The Client remains the direct billing customer of the applicable Cloud Provider and is solely and exclusively responsible for all cloud usage charges, fees, taxes, and invoices payable to Cloud Providers. Spendbase has no obligation to pay, advance, or guarantee any Cloud Provider invoice on the Client’s behalf, unless the Client chooses to join the Billing Organization (the “Billing Organization”).

3.2. For Amazon Web Services Cloud Platform access, participation in Spendbase’s designated AWS Billing Organization is mandatory in order to access AWS-related Spendbase platform services, pricing arrangements, or AWS program participation facilitated through Spendbase.

3.3. Spendbase is not responsible for and shall have no liability in respect of:

(i) the availability, uptime, performance, or security of any Cloud Provider’s services;

(ii) any Cloud Provider policy changes, program modifications, or eligibility determinations;

(iii) any denial, reduction, claw back, or expiration of discounts by any Cloud Provider; or

(iv) any interruption, suspension, or termination of the Client’s Cloud Provider accounts.

3.4. The Client shall timely complete the onboarding and billing authorization required for Spendbase to provide the Services or facilitate participation in any cloud provider program. If the Client fails to complete such actions within fourteen (14) calendar days following Spendbase’s written request, and such failure is not caused by Spendbase, Spendbase may suspend further onboarding activities and issue invoices for any applicable fees or amounts payable under these Terms, which shall become due and payable in accordance with the agreed payment terms, regardless of whether onboarding has been completed.

3.5. The Client acknowledges that Cloud Providers operate independent platforms, apply their own terms and conditions, and make their own commercial decisions. Spendbase exercises no control over Cloud Provider approvals, pricing, incentive eligibility, or account decisions.

3.6. If Spendbase is invited to, or assists with, the management of the Client’s cloud accounts (including AWS Organizations administration), Spendbase shall not, without the Client’s prior written consent: (a) modify the Client’s IAM users, roles, or permissions; or (b) apply or enforce Service Control Policies (SCPs) or other organizational policies that would materially restrict the Client’s access to cloud services.

4. Client Obligations

4.1. The Client shall:

(i) provide accurate, complete, and current information to Spendbase for all matters relating to Platform use and onboarding;

(ii) promptly notify Spendbase of any changes to account details, billing contacts, or relevant organizational information;

(iii) comply at all times with the applicable Cloud Provider terms, acceptable use policies, and any other applicable policies;

(iv) be solely responsible for all use of cloud services under its cloud accounts, whether authorized or unauthorized;

(v) maintain appropriate security over its Platform access credentials and cloud account credentials; and

(vi) provide all cooperation and access reasonably required for Spendbase to deliver Platform features and onboarding support.

4.2. The Client shall not: (a) sublicense, resell, or provide access to the Platform to any third party; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Platform; (c) use the Platform in any manner that violates applicable law or third-party rights; (d) circumvent any access controls, security measures, or technical limitations of the Platform; (e) use the Platform for benchmarking against competitive products without Spendbase’s prior written consent; (f) pursue, implement, replicate, or otherwise put into effect, through any channel other than the Platform, the same or substantially similar optimization measures, configuration changes, or Savings opportunities that Spendbase has identified, initiated, or worked on for the Client and in respect of which an Engagement Milestone has been reached, during the Term of this Agreement; or (g) implement, complete, cause to be implemented, or otherwise carry out (whether directly, through any Affiliate, or through any third party) any optimization measure, configuration change, or Savings opportunity in respect of which Spendbase has already reached the Engagement Milestone, whether under the same Cloud Provider account or any related, affiliated, or newly created Cloud Provider account;.

4.3. The Client shall not take any action the purpose or effect of which is to deprive Spendbase of its Platform Fee entitlement. Any material breach of this Section 4 shall entitle Spendbase to the full Platform Fee in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.

4.4. The Client shall promptly notify Spendbase of any unauthorized access to or suspected breach of its cloud accounts or Platform access that could affect billing, Savings calculations, or Platform security.

5. Platform Fee and Payment Terms

5.1. The Client shall pay Spendbase a Platform Fee for access to the Platform, which shall be calculated at a rate of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Savings achieved for the Client for the applicable billing period.

5.2. For Clients whose verified annual cloud Savings exceeds USD 100,000, the Platform Fee rate may be reduced to fifteen percent (15%) of Savings for the applicable billing period. Eligibility for the reduced rate may be subject to Spendbase’s written confirmation.

5.3. Upon reaching the Engagement Milestone, Spendbase’s entitlement to the Platform Fee shall be deemed to have accrued in full, regardless of which Party performs any subsequent implementation, configuration, or administrative step required to realize the Savings identified by Spendbase. The Client shall not be relieved of its obligation to pay the applicable Platform Fee by reason of: (i) the Client independently implementing, completing, or carrying out any step of the optimization or Savings-realization process; (ii) the Client obtaining or realizing the benefit of equivalent or substantially similar Savings through any channel other than the Platform; or (iii) any termination of this Agreement occurring after the Engagement Milestone has been reached.

5.4. If, at any time on or after the Engagement Milestone, the Client (a) declines, refuses, fails, or ceases to cooperate with Spendbase in the continued delivery or use of the Platform; (b) withdraws from, fails to complete, or unreasonably delays any onboarding, configuration, implementation, or Platform optimization process; (c) terminates this Agreement (other than for Spendbase’s uncured material breach); or (d) otherwise materially impedes Spendbase’s ability to deliver Platform services or to produce, measure, or verify Savings, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5, the Client shall pay to Spendbase a Platform Fee equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Platform Fee that would reasonably have been payable in respect of the Savings projected by Spendbase to be achievable for the Client over the remaining Initial Term or the then-current Renewed Term (as applicable), calculated in good faith by Spendbase on the basis of the Client’s baseline cloud spend, prior Platform reporting, and the optimization opportunities identified by Spendbase as of the Engagement Milestone.

5.5. Spendbase’s Platform Fee entitlement accrues upon reaching the Engagement Milestone, irrespective of which Party performs any subsequent step required to realize the identified Savings. The Client acknowledges that the Platform optimization process involves substantial preparatory and analytical work by Spendbase (including baseline assessment, eligibility and opportunity analysis, account or infrastructure configuration, documentation preparation, and communications with Cloud Providers or other third parties), the value of which is reflected in the Platform Fee structure, and that such value is delivered to the Client upon reaching the Engagement Milestone, regardless of any subsequent implementation step.

5.6. Spendbase shall invoice the Client monthly. Invoices will be sent to the billing contact designated by the Client. All invoices shall be payable within fourteen (14) calendar days from the invoice date, in the currency specified by Spendbase and to the bank account designated on the invoice. Payments shall be made in full without set-off, counterclaim, or deduction, except as required by law.

5.7. Spendbase may, in its discretion, offer the Client a payment plan of up to twelve (12) monthly installments for Platform Fees due in a given billing period. Where the total Platform Fee for the applicable billing period equals or exceeds twelve thousand United States dollars (USD 12,000), the Parties may agree to divide such Platform Fee into up to twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments. Installment arrangements must be agreed in writing prior to the invoice due date and do not reduce the total Platform Fee payable.

5.8. All overdue amounts, except those disputed in good faith, shall bear interest at a rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum lawful rate, whichever is lower, calculated from the due date until payment is received in full. The Client shall reimburse Spendbase for all reasonable costs of collection, including legal fees.

5.9. If the Client disputes any portion of an invoice, it shall notify Spendbase in writing within fifteen (15) calendar days of the invoice date, specifying the nature and basis of the dispute in reasonable detail. The Client shall pay all undisputed amounts by the due date. Disputes shall not suspend the Client’s payment obligation for undisputed charges.

5.10. All amounts payable under these Terms are exclusive of applicable taxes, duties, or levies. The Client shall be responsible for all such taxes, excluding taxes on Spendbase’s income.

5.11. Spendbase makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee regarding any minimum Savings. Platform Fee shall remain payable with respect to any Savings actually realized, even if the Savings are lower than anticipated.

5.12. Spendbase may require advance payment or other security for future Cloud usage charges if the Client’s payment history or creditworthiness is unsatisfactory in Spendbase’s reasonable judgment.

6. Suspension and Termination

6.1. Spendbase may suspend the Client’s access to the Platform, in whole or in part, immediately upon written notice if: (a) the Client fails to pay any undisputed amount when due; (b) the Client materially breaches any obligation under these Terms; or (c) Spendbase reasonably determines that continued access poses a security, legal, or regulatory risk. The Client remains liable for all Platform Fees accrued during any suspension period.

6.2. Spendbase may terminate these Terms immediately upon written notice if: (a) if the Client fails to pay any amounts due under this Agreement within ten (10) calendar days after receiving written notice of non-payment from Spendbase; (b) the Client materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure such breach within fifteen (15) calendar days after written notice; or (c) the Client engages in conduct that violates any Cloud Provider’s acceptable use policy or applicable law.

6.3. Spendbase may terminate this Agreement if the Client fails to pay any amounts due under this Agreement within ten (10) calendar days after receiving written notice of non-payment from Spendbase. If the Client fails to cure such payment default within the notice period, Spendbase may terminate the Agreement immediately upon written notice.

6.4. Either Party may terminate these Terms for convenience upon at least thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to the other Party.

6.5. Upon termination:

(i) the Client shall immediately pay all outstanding Platform Fees, taxes, and other amounts due to Spendbase;

(ii) the Client’s access to the Platform shall cease;

(iii) each Party shall return or destroy the other Party’s Confidential Information upon written request; and

(iv) Spendbase shall cease all access to Client Data, except to the extent required by law or to exercise its rights under these Terms.

6.6. Sections 1, 5 (to the extent of accrued obligations), 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.

6.7. Spendbase may engage third-party collection agencies or initiate legal proceedings to recover any overdue amounts. The Client shall reimburse Spendbase for all reasonable costs of collection, including legal fees and agency charges.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1. As between the Parties, Spendbase owns all rights, title, and interest in and to the Platform, all software, algorithms, tooling, dashboards, and Documentation, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein.

7.3. Spendbase may use Client Data in aggregated, de-identified form for internal analytics, product development, benchmarking, and marketing. Any publicly disclosed statistics shall reflect only aggregate usage across Spendbase’s clients and shall not attribute any data to the Client.

8. Confidentiality

8.1. Confidential Information under this Agreement means all non-public information disclosed by one Party to the other in connection with these Terms, including account identifiers, spend data, usage reports, discount levels, technical, commercial, and financial information, and any information identified as confidential at the time of disclosure.

(iii) not disclose Confidential Information to any third party except to employees, contractors, or professional advisors who have a need to know and are bound by obligations at least as protective as these Terms.

8.3. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information if required by applicable law, regulation, or court order, provided that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prompt written notice (where legally permitted) and cooperates in seeking protective measures.

8.4. Confidentiality obligations under this Section 9 shall survive termination of these Terms for five (5) years, except for trade secrets, which shall remain confidential indefinitely.

9. Data Protection

9.1. For the purposes of applicable data protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”), Spendbase acts as an independent data controller in respect of the Client’s personal data processed under these Terms. Spendbase processes such data for the following purposes: (a) onboarding and identity verification; (b) billing administration and invoicing for Cloud Services usage; (c) maintaining records of acceptance of these Terms; (d) account management and client communications; and (e) compliance with legal and regulatory obligations.

9.2. Spendbase’s practices regarding the collection, use, retention, and deletion of the Client’s personal data, including the Client’s rights as a data subject and how to exercise them, are set out in Spendbase’s Privacy Notice, available at here, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Spendbase will process the Client’s personal data only in accordance with that Privacy Notice and applicable data protection law.

9.3. Spendbase may engage sub-processors to assist in the delivery of billing and account administration services under these Terms. Spendbase will ensure that any such sub-processors are bound by data protection obligations no less protective than those set out in these Terms and in applicable law.

9.4. The Client acknowledges that Cloud Services are provided directly by the respective Cloud Provider and its affiliates, and that the Client’s use of Cloud Services — including any personal data the Client processes within its environment — is governed solely by the respective Cloud Provider customer agreement and Cloud Provider privacy policies. Spendbase has no access to, and assumes no responsibility for, any personal data processed by the Client within any Cloud Provider environment.

9.5. Each party shall comply with its respective obligations under applicable data protection law in connection with these Terms and shall not, by its acts or omissions, cause the other party to be in breach of such obligations.

10. Force Majeure

10.1. Neither Party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms (other than payment obligations) if such delay or failure is caused by events beyond its reasonable control (“Force Majeure Event”), including: acts of God, natural disasters, epidemic or pandemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action or restriction, power or internet outages, failures of Cloud Providers or other third-party infrastructure, or events of a similar nature.

10.2. The affected Party shall notify the other Party in writing as soon as reasonably practicable, specifying the nature, expected duration, and mitigation steps. The affected Party’s obligations shall be suspended to the extent affected by the Force Majeure Event.

10.3. Any unavailability or degradation of Cloud Provider services shall constitute a Force Majeure Event with respect to Spendbase, and Spendbase shall have no liability for such events.

11. Warranties, Disclaimers, and Limitation of Liability

11.1. Spendbase warrants that it will provide the Platform in a professional and workmanlike manner, using commercially reasonable skill and care, in accordance with applicable laws. The Client’s sole remedy for any breach of this warranty shall be, at Spendbase’s option, re-performance of the affected Platform services or a pro-rata refund of Platform Fees paid for the affected billing period.

11.2. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN SECTION 12.1, SPENDBASE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

IN NO EVENT SHALL SPENDBASE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

11.6. The limitations and disclaimers in this Section 12 reflect the Parties’ agreed allocation of risk and form an essential basis of the bargain between the Parties. They apply regardless of the form of action and whether or not Spendbase has been informed of the possibility of such damages.

12. Indemnification

12.1. Spendbase shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Client from and against third-party claims alleging that the Platform, as provided by Spendbase, infringes or misappropriates such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, and shall pay any damages, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees awarded or agreed in settlement, provided that: (i) the Client promptly notifies Spendbase in writing of the claim; (ii) Spendbase has sole control over the defense and settlement; and (iii) the Client reasonably cooperates in the defense.
