3               Services, Service Levels and Customer Assistance

3.1           Services. During each applicable Service Term, Tealium will provide the Services to Customer. Each Service Order specifies an Authorized Usage Level and a Service Term. Customer will ensure that either (a) its use of the Services does not exceed its Authorized Usage Level or (b) if its use of the Services exceeds the Authorized Usage Level, it will pay the Additional Usage Fee invoiced by Tealium according to the terms of the applicable Service Order and Section 4 below. During the applicable Service Term (a) Customer is authorized to use the Services on all Digital Properties in accordance with the MSA, and (b) Tealium grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (with no right to sublicense) right and license to copy the Code only for insertion in Digital Properties for use in connection with the Services. Tealium does not grant any other rights to the Code. Tealium reserves all rights not expressly granted under the MSA.

3.2           Service Level Agreement. Tealium will provide the Services in accordance with the terms set forth in the Service Level Agreement identified in the applicable Service Order (the “SLA”). Except as otherwise provided in this TOS, the remedies set forth in the SLA are Tealium’s sole liability, and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, for any failure of Tealium to provide the Services in accordance with the performance metrics set forth in the SLA.

3.3           Customer Assistance. Customer will supply Tealium personnel with such information, resources, and assistance as Tealium may request. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Tealium’s ability to successfully provide the Services in a timely manner is contingent upon its timely receipt from Customer of such information, resources and assistance as may be requested by Tealium. Tealium will have no liability for deficiencies or delays in the Services resulting from the acts or omissions of Customer, its agents, or employees or performance of the Services in accordance with Customer’s instructions. Without limiting the foregoing, if Tealium is unable to deploy all of the Services specified in the Service Order as a result of delay attributable to Customer, then all deployment fees specified in the Service Order will be deemed earned by Tealium and payable by Customer.

3.4           Non-Tealium Products or Services. The Services include the ability to connect to and exchange data with third party systems or services with whom Customer may have a contractual right to connect, many of whom may be listed on the Tealium website (which list may vary from time to time) under “integrations” or “marketplace” (“Non-Tealium Products”). These are not Tealium products or services, and Tealium does not warrant or support Non-Tealium Products, and Customer will decide whether or not to enable them. Any use of Non-Tealium Products in connection with the Services is solely between Customer and the applicable third party provider. If Customer’s use of the Services includes use of Connectors, then Customer covenants that (a) it has a contractual relationship with the vendor to which the Connector may exchange Customer Data giving Customer the right to exchange Customer Data with such vendor, and (b) it will comply with all obligations and restrictions imposed by such vendor(s). Tealium disclaims any warranty that any particular Connector will be error free or uninterrupted, and Customer acknowledges that modification of the vendor specific API is controlled by such vendor.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable SOW, Customer agrees to reimburse Tealium for travel, lodging and meal expenses incurred in the course of providing Technical Services at any location other than Tealium’s site. Tealium will invoice Customer for expenses incurred. Any payment not received when due will accrue interest on the outstanding amount at a rate of three (3) times the French legal interest rate calculated as from the day following the due date on the invoice. Customer will pay to Tealium all expenses incurred by Tealium in exercising its rights to payments under this MSA, including, but not limited to, the fixed statutory allowance of forty euro (€40) for recovery costs, attorneys’ fees and the additional fees of any collection agency retained by Tealium. All sums payable under this MSA are exclusive of: (a) VAT, GST or any relevant local sales or use taxes; (b) income taxes assessed by any governmental agencies, including, but not limited to withholdings and royalties; and (c) other taxes and similar fees imposed on the delivery of Services, (collectively “Taxes”).

12.2        Service Terms. Each Service Order will provide for a service term (each a “Service Term”). Unless otherwise provided in the MSA, at the end of the Service Term of any Service Order and to avoid unintended interruption of service, the term of such Service Order will automatically renew for successive twelve (12) month periods unless either Party gives written notice to the other Party of its intention not to renew at least ninety (90) days before the end of a Service Term.

Upon termination by Customer for Tealium’s breach, Tealium will refund any unearned portion of prepaid usage fees.

The failure of either Party to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the MSA will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision, and any waiver granted by a Party in one instance does not constitute a waiver for other instances. 

17.           Independent Contractors

The relationship between the Parties is solely that of independent contractors, and neither Party will have any authority to bind or commit the other. Nothing in the MSA will be deemed or construed to create a joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship between the Parties for any purpose. 

18.           Assignment

Neither the MSA nor any of the rights or duties arising out of the MSA may be assigned by Tealium or Customer without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; except that either Party may, without such consent, assign the MSA and its rights and duties arising out of the MSA to the transferee, or other successor in interest, in connection with the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets or in connection with any reincorporation, merger, acquisition, re-organization, or consolidation, provided the assigning Party promptly notifies the non-assigning Party in writing.
