Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensee shall be solely responsible for:

   1. the technical installation and operation of any and all Applications, including compliance with the technical and policy-implemented limitations of the API and the restrictions of this Agreement in designing and implementing the Applications;
   2. creating and displaying information and content on, through, or within the Applications;

Any and all acts by each and every Subscriber shall be attributed to the Licensee and deemed for all purposes hereunder to be acts of the Licensee.

1. Licensee represents, warrants, and covenants that to the extent Licensee’s Applications store, process, or transmit BlueX Service Data, neither Licensee nor any Application does or will, without appropriate prior user consent or except to the extent required by applicable law (a) modify the content of BlueX Service Data in a manner that adversely affects the integrity of BlueX Service Data; (b) disclose BlueX Service Data to any third party; or (c) use BlueX Service Data for any purpose other than providing the Application functionality to Subscribers of such Application.

2. Licensee represents, warrants, and covenants that (a) its Applications and Licensee Marks, the use of such Applications by its Subscribers, and the activities with respect to such Applications and Licensee Marks undertaken by BlueX in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, do not and will not violate, misappropriate, or infringe upon the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party; (b) it (i) is in compliance, and will continue to comply, with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations, including, without limitation, all applicable export control laws and (ii) has and will maintain all licenses, permits, and other permissions necessary to develop, implement, and Publish its Applications; (c) its Applications do not and will not contain or introduce any Malicious Software into the BlueX Service, the API, any BlueX Service Data, or other data stored or transmitted using the BlueX Service; and (d) its Applications are not and will not be designed to or utilized for the purpose of spamming any Subscribers or other users of any Application.

Licensee acknowledges and agrees that BlueX may modify this Agreement, the BlueX Services, the API, the API Guidelines, the Privacy Policy, and the Terms of Use, from time to time (each, a “Modification”). Licensee shall be notified of a Modification to this Agreement, the BlueX API or the API Guidelines through notifications or posts on the Developer Website. All other Modifications shall be communicated through the BlueX Services, any website owned and operated by BlueX, or any other form of direct communication from BlueX to Licensee. Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that such Modifications may be implemented at any time and without any notice to Licensee. Licensee shall, within thirty (30) days from the date of first notice of any Modification(s) (or such shorter period of time specified in the notice of the Modification(s)) (the “Conformance Period”) comply with such Modification(s) by implementing and using the most current version of the API and making any changes to Applications that may be required as a result of such Modification(s). Licensee acknowledges that a Modification may have an adverse effect on Applications, including but not limited to changing the manner in which Applications communicate with the API and display or transmit BlueX Service Data. BlueX shall have no liability of any kind to Licensee or any user of Licensee’s Applications with respect to such Modifications or any adverse effects resulting from such Modifications. Licensee’s continued access to or use of the BlueX Services or API following the Conformance Period shall constitute binding acceptance of the Modification(s) at issue.

BlueX may collect certain information through the API or the BlueX Service about You or any of Your Subscribers, employees, contractors, or agents. By accessing, using, and providing information to or through the API or the BlueX Service, You consent to all actions taken by us with respect to Your information in compliance with the then-current version of our Privacy Policy and represent and warrant that all relevant Subscribers have consented to all such actions.

You acknowledge that, as between You and Us, (a) We own all right, title, and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the BlueX Services, the API, the BlueX Marks, BlueX’s other technology and any BlueX Service Data and (b) You own all right, title, and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to Your Applications, excluding the aforementioned rights in Section 7(a) above. You shall use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the API and BlueX Marks (including all copies thereof) from infringement, misappropriation, theft, misuse, or unauthorized access. You shall promptly notify Us if You become aware of any infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights in the API or the BlueX Marks and shall fully cooperate with Us, in any legal action taken by Us to enforce Our Intellectual Property Rights. Subject to the limited licenses expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement transfers or assigns (a) to BlueX any of Licensee’s Intellectual Property Rights in its Applications or Licensee’s Marks or other technology or (b) to Licensee any of BlueX’s Intellectual Property Rights in the BlueX Services, the API, the BlueX Marks, BlueX’s other technology, or any BlueX Service Data.

This Agreement does not entitle Licensee to any support for the BlueX Services or the API, unless Licensee makes separate arrangements with BlueX for such support. Licensee is solely responsible for providing all support and technical assistance to users of its Applications including Subscribers who access, deploy, and/or purchase its Applications. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that BlueX has no obligation to provide support or technical assistance to the users of Applications and Licensee shall not represent to any such users that BlueX is available to provide such support. Licensee agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide reasonable support to users of its Applications.

Fees and other amounts payable to BlueX by Licensee in connection with the API shall be paid in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the relevant Quotation, if any.

Licensee may from time to time, gain access to BlueX’s confidential or proprietary information (“Confidential Information”). Licensee may use Confidential Information only to the extent necessary to exercise its rights under this Agreement. Subject to the express permissions set forth herein, Licensee may not disclose Confidential Information to a third party without the prior express consent of BlueX, provided in writing or by email. Without limiting any other obligation of Licensee under this Agreement, Licensee agrees that it shall protect Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that Licensee would use to protect its own confidential and proprietary information of a similar nature and in any event with no less than a reasonable degree of care.

ALL ASPECTS OF THE SERVICES AND THE API, INCLUDING ALL SERVER AND NETWORK COMPONENTS ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND BLUEX EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BLUEX DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE BLUEX SERVICE OR API WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER MALICIOUS SOFTWARE, AND NO INFORMATION OR ADVICE OBTAINED BY YOU FROM BLUEX OR THROUGH THE BLUEX SERVICE OR API SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

1. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE) WILL EITHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THEIR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES OR BUSINESS, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR FOR ANY TYPE OF INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE LOSS OR DAMAGES, OR ANY OTHER LOSS OR DAMAGES INCURRED BY SUCH PARTY OR THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE API, OR THE BLUEX SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF OR COULD HAVE FORESEEN SUCH DAMAGES.

2. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, BLUEX’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO LICENSEE OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED WHAT LICENSEE HAS PAID BLUEX FOR THE MONTH PROCEEDING AT THE TIME OF THAT CLAIM. ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE FIRST EVENT OR OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH CLAIM.

3. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply to Licensee. IN THESE JURISDICTIONS, BLUEX’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. The limitations set forth in this Section 12 will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless BlueX, its Affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by an Indemnified Party (collectively, “Losses”) arising from or related to (a) any breach of an obligation, representation, warranty, covenant, or other provision of this Agreement or (b) any matter for which Licensee has expressly agreed to be responsible pursuant to this Agreement. BlueX shall promptly notify Licensee in writing after obtaining knowledge of any Losses or discovery of facts on which an Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under this Section 13. BlueX reserves the right, at its option and in its sole discretion, to assume full control of the defense of claims with legal counsel of its choice. Licensee may not enter into any third party agreement that would, in any manner whatsoever, constitute an admission of fault by any Indemnified Party or bind any Indemnified Party in any manner, without BlueX’s prior written consent. In the event BlueX assumes control of the defense of any claim, BlueX shall not settle any such claim requiring payment from Licensee without Licensee’s prior written approval.

This Agreement will become effective on the first day You (a) execute any related Quotation, (b) click the “I ACCEPT” button below, (c) access or use the API, or (d) authorize or permit any individual to access or use the API and will remain in effect until terminated pursuant to this Section 14 (the period during which this Agreement is effective, the “Term”). Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason, or for no reason including, but not limited to, if Licensee violates any provision of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any termination of this Agreement shall also terminate the licenses granted to Licensee hereunder. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Licensee shall cease using, and either return to BlueX, or destroy and remove from all computers, hard drives, networks, and other storage media, all copies of any materials licensed pursuant to this Agreement and any Confidential Information in Licensee’s possession, and shall certify to BlueX that such actions have occurred. Sections 3, 4, 7, 9-21 hereof shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Licensee may not, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, assign all or any part of this Agreement or Licensee’s rights hereunder or delegate performance of Licensee’s duties hereunder without BlueX’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. BlueX may assign all or any part of this Agreement or BlueX’s rights hereunder or delegate performance of BlueX’s duties hereunder without Licensee’s consent. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, this Agreement will be fully binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

This Agreement, any Quotation, and all other terms and conditions incorporated herein or therein by reference, including, without limitation, the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Either party’s failure to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of that provision or of any other provision of this Agreement.

If any provision in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision shall be modified by the court and interpreted so as to best effect the parties’ original intent to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full effect.

The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the parties.

All notices to be provided by BlueX to Licensee under this Agreement may be delivered in writing (a) by internationally recognized overnight delivery service (“Courier”) or mail to the contact mailing address provided by Licensee to BlueX or (b) electronic mail to the electronic mail address provided for the Licensee contact identified on any Quotation. Licensee must give notice to BlueX in writing by Courier or mail to the following address: BlueX Trade, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 11F, No. 132, Nanjing East Road Section 2, Taipei, Taiwan. All notices shall be deemed to have been given immediately upon delivery by electronic mail, or if otherwise delivered, upon receipt.

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without reference to conflict of laws principles. Any disputes under this Agreement shall be resolved in a court of general jurisdiction in San Francisco County, California. You hereby expressly agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of this jurisdiction for the purpose of resolving any dispute relating to this Agreement or access to or use of the API by You, the Subscribers, or any other user of an Application.

The API may be subject to US export control laws, including the Export Control Reform Act and its associated regulations. You will not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the API to, or make the API accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by law, rule, or regulation. You will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing, or otherwise making the API available outside the United States.

These Aggregator Supplemental Terms and Conditions (the “Supplemental Terms”) form an integral part of the Application Developer and API Agreement You have entered into with BlueX and shall be construed in all respects to be one and the same instrument therewith. If You have been identified as an Aggregator by checking the appropriate box in any Quotation, these Supplemental Terms shall apply. In all other cases, these Supplemental Terms shall have no force or effect.

Prior to allowing any Subscriber to access any Application You must require that such Subscriber: (a) has read and understood the terms and the conditions of the Application Developer and API Agreement and (b) has agreed not to cause You to violate any of such terms and conditions. Provided that You have fulfilled your obligations with respect to a Subscriber pursuant to these Supplemental Terms and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Application Developer and API Agreement, You are permitted to charge such Subscriber, either directly or indirectly, for such Subscriber’s use of the API.
