Cloud Services Agreement
This Cloud Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is between ReMatter Inc. (“ReMatter”) and Customer. This Agreement allows Customer to purchase access to certain of ReMatter’s services as specified under one or more Orders. Certain capitalized terms are defined in Exhibit A and others are defined contextually in this Agreement.
BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, EITHER BY CLICKING A BOX INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE, USING (OR MAKING ANY PAYMENT FOR) ANY SERVICES, OR OTHERWISE AFFIRMATIVELY INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU:
(A) AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF AS AN INDIVIDUAL, UNLESS YOU ARE USING THE SERVICES ON BEHALF OF AN ORGANIZATION, COMPANY, OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, IN WHICH CASE YOU AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF SUCH ENTITY FOR WHICH YOU ACT (“CUSTOMER”); AND
(B) REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND CUSTOMER TO THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MUST NOT ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT USE ANY SERVICES.
1. Overview
ReMatter provides Services that Customer may use to help manage Customer’s recycling yard operations.
2. Services
2.1. Ordering Process
Services are purchased as stated in an Order in the manner established for each of the Services. Each Order will include the specific Services ordered by Customer, including, as applicable, the purchased Services, the applicable Facility, and the time period for which such Order applies.
2.2. Permitted Use
During a Subscription Term, subject to Customer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Customer may access and use the Services only for its internal business purposes in accordance with the Documentation, this Agreement, and any limitations set forth in an Order. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, ReMatter hereby grants to Customer a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-sublicensable, non-transferable (except pursuant to Section 20.1 (Assignment)) license, during the Subscription Term, to: make calls to ReMatter’s application programming interfaces (“APIs”) solely as specified in the Documentation and in accordance with this Agreement. ReMatter reserves the right to monitor Customer’s use of the APIs and may restrict Customer’s access to the API or limit the volume of API calls in that Customer may make, including if Customer’s use exceeds ReMatter’s API call limits or has a negative impact on performance of the Services. ReMatter may, but has no obligation to, update, upgrade, or otherwise modify its APIs and features or functionality thereof. For avoidance of doubt, Customer’s right to use the APIs is subject to Section 2.6 (Restrictions).
2.3. Remote App
During the Subscription Term, subject to Customer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Documentation, and any limitations set forth in an Order, ReMatter grants Customer a limited, non-transferable, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable right and license for each User to: (a) download any Remote App onto a Supported Device; and (b) use the Remote App for the sole purpose of accessing and using the applicable Service. Users are responsible for installing all Updates that ReMatter makes available to the Remote App. Failure to install all Updates to the Remote App will void the Performance Warranty.
2.4. Users
Only Users, using the mechanisms designated by ReMatter (including, if applicable, API access keys) (“Log-in Credentials”), may access and use the Services. Each User must keep its Log-in Credentials confidential and not share them with anyone else. Customer is responsible for its Users’ compliance with this Agreement and all actions taken through their Log-in Credentials (excluding misuse of the Log-in Credentials caused by ReMatter’s breach of this Agreement). Customer will promptly notify ReMatter if it becomes aware of any compromise of any Log-in Credentials. ReMatter may Process Log-in Credentials in connection with ReMatter’s provision of the Services or for ReMatter’s internal business purposes.
2.5. Professional Services
Subject to Customer’s timely payment of all applicable Fees, ReMatter will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Customer the Professional Services, if any, set forth in each Order. Customer will own and retain, and ReMatter hereby assigns and agrees to assign, all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property and proprietary rights and moral rights, in and to the Deliverables created for the Customer under this Agreement; provided that such assignment excludes any and all rights, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to all ReMatter Technology, and nothing in this Agreement will preclude or restrict ReMatter from using or exploiting any concepts, ideas, techniques or know-how of or related to the ReMatter Technology, or otherwise arising in connection with ReMatter’s provision of the Services. If in the course of performing the Professional Services, ReMatter incorporates into any Deliverable any ReMatter Technology, ReMatter grants to Customer a nonexclusive, royalty free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to reproduce, manufacture, modify, distribute, use, import, and otherwise exploit the ReMatter Technology solely as part of or in connection with the Deliverable. Nothing in this Agreement or any Order or attachment to this Agreement will be understood to prevent ReMatter from developing similar work product or deliverables for other customers.

Additionally, Customer must not use a Service with Prohibited Data or for High Risk Activities. Customer acknowledges that the Services are not intended to meet any legal obligations for these uses, including HIPAA requirements, and that ReMatter is not a Business Associate as defined under HIPAA. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, ReMatter has no liability for Prohibited Data or use of a Service for High Risk Activities.
3. SLA and Support
During a Subscription Term, ReMatter will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the applicable Services in accordance with the SLA and the Support Policy.
4. Upgrades
Unless stated otherwise in an Order, ReMatter will make Updates to Services as ReMatter makes them available to its customers of the applicable Services generally. Customer’s purchase of access to Services is not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features or dependent on any oral or written public or private comments made by ReMatter regarding future functionality or features of the Services. From time to time, ReMatter, in its sole discretion, may make available Upgrades under additional or different terms. Nothing in this Agreement obligates ReMatter to make Upgrades available to Customer as part of the Services or otherwise unless specifically included in an Order.
5. Data
5.1. Use of Customer Data
Customer grants ReMatter the non-exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable right to use, copy, store, disclose, transmit, transfer, publicly display, modify, and create derivative works from Customer Data only as necessary to:

(b) derive or generate Usage Data;
(c) create and compile Aggregated Data; and
(d) as otherwise required by Laws or as agreed to in writing between the parties.
5.2. Data Protection Laws
Customer will not use the Services with any Customer Data that is subject to Data Protection Laws without first entering into a data processing addendum with ReMatter concerning the Processing of such Customer Data in accordance with such Data Protection Laws.
5.3. Privacy Policy
To the extent Personal Data as defined in ReMatter’s privacy policy at https://rematter.com/privacy (or such other URL or location as may be specified by ReMatter from time to time) (“Privacy Policy”) is uploaded, transmitted, submitted, provided, or processed in connection with Customer’s use of the Services, ReMatter will comply with the Privacy Policy.
5.4. Usage Data; Aggregated Data
ReMatter may Process Usage Data and Aggregated Data for internal business purposes, such as to:

Customer represents and warrants that it has made all disclosures, provided all notices, and has obtained all rights, consents, and permissions necessary for ReMatter to Process Customer Data set forth in this Agreement without violating or infringing Laws, third-party rights, or terms or policies that apply to the Customer Data.
7. Suspension of Service
ReMatter may immediately suspend Customer’s access to any or all of the Services if:
(a) Customer breaches Section 2.6 (Restrictions) or Section 6 (Customer Obligations);
(b) any payments required under this Agreement are overdue by 30 days or more;
(c) changes to Laws or new Laws require that ReMatter suspend a Service or otherwise may impose additional liability on the part of ReMatter; or
(d) Customer’s actions risk harm to any of ReMatter’s other customers or the security, availability, or integrity of a Service.
Where practicable, ReMatter will use reasonable efforts to provide Customer with prior notice of the suspension (email sufficing). If the issue that led to the suspension is resolved, ReMatter will restore Customer’s access to the Service(s).
8. Customer Systems
Customer will provide and maintain all Customer Systems, and ReMatter will not have any liability for any claims related to such Customer Systems.
9. Third-Party Platforms
Use of Third-Party Platforms is subject to Customer’s agreement with the relevant provider and not this Agreement. ReMatter does not control and has no liability for Third-Party Platforms, including their security, functionality, operation, availability, or interoperability with the Services or how the Third-Party Platforms or their providers use Customer Data. By enabling a Third-Party Platform to interact with the Services, Customer authorizes ReMatter to access and exchange Customer Data with such Third-Party Platform on Customer’s behalf.
10. Technical Services
Customer will give ReMatter timely access to Customer Materials reasonably needed for the Technical Services, and if Customer fails to do so, ReMatter’s obligation to provide Technical Services will be excused until access is provided. ReMatter will use Customer Materials only for purposes of providing Technical Services. Customer may use Technical Services deliverables only as part of its authorized use of the Services and, subject to the same terms as for the Services in Section 2 (Services) and Section 6 (Customer Obligations).
11. Commercial Terms
11.1. Subscription Term
Except as set forth in an Order, each Subscription Term will automatically renew for successive 12-month periods unless either party gives the other party notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the current Subscription Term ends.
11.2. Fees and Taxes
Fees for the Services and Professional Services (as applicable) are described in each Order (“Fees”). Customer will reimburse ReMatter for reasonable travel and lodging expenses it incurs in providing Technical Services (“Expenses”). All Fees and Expenses will be paid in US dollars unless otherwise provided in an Order. Fees and Expenses are invoiced annually upfront at the start of the Subscription Term unless otherwise described on the schedule in the Order. Unless the Order provides otherwise, all Fees and Expenses are due within 10 days of the invoice date. Fees for renewal Subscription Terms are at ReMatter’s then-current rates, regardless of any discounted pricing in a prior Order.
Late payments are subject to a service charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by Law, whichever is less. All Fees and Expenses are non-refundable except as may be set out in Section 12.3 (Warranty Remedy) and Section 16.4 (Mitigation).
For the avoidance of doubt, if Customer terminates this Agreement or otherwise cancels an Order, Customer is responsible for the entire amount owed during the applicable Subscription Term, even if following such termination or cancellation Customer will not be accessing or using the Service in the remaining months of the Subscription Term.
11.3. Payment Processing
ReMatter may contract with a third party to process any payments submitted for or through the Service (“Payment Processor”). By making any purchase for or through the Service, Customer authorizes ReMatter to share any of its information with the Payment Processor in order to process Customer’s payment.
ReMatter may use Stripe as its Payment Processor (https://stripe.com). In that case, Stripe will collect, use, and process Customer’s information, including payment information, in accordance with Stripe’s privacy policy (which may be accessed at https://stripe.com/privacy), and Stripe’s terms of service (which may be accessed at https://stripe.com/legal/consumer).
12. Warranties and Disclaimers
12.1. Mutual Warranties
Each party represents and warrants to the other party that:
(a) it is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing as a corporation or other entity under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or other organization;
(b) it has the full right, power, and authority to enter into and perform its obligations and grant the rights, licenses, consents, and authorizations it grants or is required to grant under this Agreement;
(c) the execution of this Agreement by its representative whose signature is set forth on the Order has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or organizational action of such party; and
(d) when executed and delivered by both parties, this Agreement will constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms.
12.2. ReMatter’s Limited Warranties
ReMatter warrants to Customer that:
(a) each of the Services will perform materially as described in its Documentation and ReMatter will not materially decrease the overall functionality of the Service (“Performance Warranty”) during a Subscription Term (“Performance Warranty Period”); and
(b) ReMatter will perform any Technical Services in a professional and workmanlike manner (“Technical Services Warranty”) during the period in which the Technical Services are performed (“Technical Services Warranty Period”).
The Performance Warranty and Technical Services Warranty are each referred to as a “Limited Warranty” and collectively as the “Limited Warranties.” The Performance Warranty Period and Technical Services Warranty Period are each referred to as a “Warranty Period.”
12.3. Warranty Remedy
If ReMatter breaches a Limited Warranty during the applicable Warranty Period and Customer makes a reasonably detailed warranty claim in the manner required by ReMatter within 30 days of discovering a breach of the Performance Warranty for the applicable Service(s) or of receipt of Technical Services, then ReMatter will use reasonable efforts to correct the non-conformity.
If ReMatter cannot do so within 30 days of receipt of Customer’s warranty claim, either party may terminate the affected Order as it relates to the non-conforming Service or Technical Services. ReMatter will then refund to Customer any pre-paid, unused fees for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term (for the Performance Warranty) or for the non-conforming Technical Services (for the Technical Services Warranty).
This Section sets forth Customer’s exclusive remedy and ReMatter’s entire liability for breach of the Limited Warranties. These warranties do not apply to:
(a) issues caused by Customer’s or Users’ misuse of or unauthorized modifications to the applicable Service;
(b) issues in or caused by Third-Party Platforms or other third-party systems;
(c) use of the applicable Service other than according to the Documentation; or
(d) Trials and Betas or other free or evaluation use.
12.4. Disclaimers
Except as expressly provided in Section 12.2 (ReMatter’s Limited Warranties), the Services, Support, Technical Services, and all other ReMatter services are provided “AS IS.” ReMatter, on its own behalf and on behalf of its suppliers and licensors, makes no other warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or noninfringement.
ReMatter does not warrant that Customer’s use of the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free, that ReMatter will review Customer Data for accuracy, or that it will maintain Customer Data without loss. ReMatter is not liable for delays, failures, or problems inherent in use of the Internet and electronic communications or other systems outside ReMatter’s control. Customer may have other statutory rights, but any statutorily required warranties will be limited to the shortest legally permitted period.

The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) starts when Customer accepts this Agreement and continues until expiration or termination of all Subscription Terms.

16. Indemnification
16.1. Indemnification by ReMatter
ReMatter will defend Customer from and against any third-party claim to the extent alleging that a Service as operated by ReMatter, when used by Customer as permitted under the applicable Order, infringes or misappropriates a third party’s U.S. patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret.

“Confidential Information” means information disclosed to the receiving party (“Recipient”) under this Agreement that is designated by the disclosing party (“Discloser”) as proprietary or confidential or that should be reasonably understood to be proprietary or confidential due to its nature and the circumstances of its disclosure. ReMatter’s Confidential Information includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any technical or performance information about the Services. Customer’s Confidential Information includes Customer Data.

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement or at Discloser’s request, Recipient will delete all Confidential Information, except, in the case where ReMatter is the Recipient, ReMatter may retain the Customer’s Confidential Information to the extent required to continue to provide the Services.
Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors, and other representatives having a legitimate need to know (including, for ReMatter, the subcontractors referenced in Section 20.9) (collectively, “Representatives”), provided Recipient remains responsible for its respective compliance with this Section 17 and such Representatives are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective than this Section 17.

17.5. Required Disclosures
Nothing in this Agreement prohibits either party from making disclosures, including of Customer Data and other Confidential Information, if required by Law, subpoena, or court order, provided (if permitted by Law) it notifies the other party in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment.
18. Trials and Betas
If Customer receives access to Services or features thereof on a free or trial basis or as an alpha, beta, or early access offering (“Trials and Betas”), then, unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Order, use is permitted only for the limited number of Users ReMatter specifies to Customer, and only for Customer’s internal evaluation during the period designated by ReMatter (or if not designated, 30 days). Trials and Betas are optional and either party may terminate Trials and Betas at any time for any reason. Trials and Betas may be inoperable, incomplete, or include features that ReMatter may never release, and their features and performance information are ReMatter’s Confidential Information.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, ReMatter provides no warranty, indemnity, SLA, or support for Trials and Betas, and its liability for Trials and Betas will not exceed USD $50.
19. Publicity

20. General Terms
20.1. Assignment
Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior consent of the other party, except that either party may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, reorganization, acquisition, or other transfer of all or substantially all its assets or voting securities to the other party involved in such transaction.

20.6. Amendments
Any amendments, modifications, or supplements to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by each party’s authorized representatives or, as appropriate, agreed through electronic means provided by ReMatter. Nonetheless, with notice to Customer, ReMatter may modify the Policies to reflect new features or changing practices, but the modifications will not materially decrease ReMatter’s overall obligations during a Subscription Term. The terms in any Customer purchase order or business form will not amend or modify this Agreement and are expressly rejected by ReMatter; any of these Customer documents are for administrative purposes only and have no legal effect.
20.7. Waivers and Severability
Waivers must be signed by the waiving party’s authorized representative and cannot be implied from conduct. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so the rest of this Agreement remains in effect.
20.8. Force Majeure
Neither party is liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (except for a failure to pay Fees) due to events beyond its reasonable control, such as a strike, blockade, war, pandemic, act of terrorism, riot, Internet or utility failures, refusal of government license, or natural disaster (“Force Majeure Events”).
20.9. Subcontractors
ReMatter may use subcontractors and permit them to exercise ReMatter’s rights, but ReMatter remains responsible for their compliance with this Agreement and for its overall performance under this Agreement.
20.10. Independent Contractors
The parties are independent contractors, not agents, partners, or joint venturers.
20.11. Export

If the User or licensee of the Services is an agency, department, or other entity of the United States Government, the use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer of the Services or any related documentation of any kind, including technical data and manuals, is restricted by the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 12.212 for civilian purposes and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 227.7202 for military purposes. The Services were developed fully at private expense. All other use is prohibited.
20.14. Notice Regarding Apple
This Section 20.14 only applies to the extent Customer uses ReMatter’s Remote App on an iOS device. Customer acknowledges that this Agreement is between Customer and ReMatter only, not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”), and Apple is not responsible for the Service or the content of it. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Service.
