You may start using the Services as soon as Slapshot gives you access to them. You can continue to use the Services for the Term of this Agreement.
Other than expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement, you acknowledges that it is your sole responsibility to determine that the Services meet your business requirements and, to the fullest extent permissible by law and without limitation, we give no warranties that the Service will be fit for purpose, of satisfactory quality, uninterrupted or error free save where expressly set out in the Agreement.
Slapshot reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Platform, including suspending or ceasing work on the Services, at any time, for any reason, in its sole discretion, including but not limited to (i) non-compliance with this Agreement, or (ii) non-payment of validly owed Charges (defined below).
Payment and Tax
In consideration of Slapshot’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and save with respect to any use of the Services by the Client during an unpaid early access period (in accordance with Clause 7), the Client shall pay on a monthly basis the Subscription Charges plus any Consumption Charges (the “Charges”).
The Client shall pay all applicable Charges in cleared funds promptly when due, and in any event no later than within 14 calendar days of such Charges becoming due, through Platform and subject to any applicable payment system provider terms and conditions.
In the event that the Client is obliged by any properly constituted authority to deduct any form of withholding tax, surcharge or duty, the Client agrees and undertakes to gross up any Charges due to Slapshot so that the amount paid to Slapshot is the amount set out on the applicable invoice.
Slapshot shall add applicable taxes (such as sales tax) to the Charges at the prevailing rate as applicable.
Failure to pay fees when due shall be a material breach of this Agreement which entitles Slapshot to suspend or terminate this Agreement (pursuant to Clause 12 of this Agreement). This, in turn, will affect the Client’s access to the Services. Charges remain chargeable at our standard rates during the suspension. If Slapshot terminate this Agreement for the Client’s material breach, Slapshot will require the Client to pay, without delay, all fees and costs accruing before the termination date, all unpaid subscriptions and any other amounts due to Slapshot by the Client under this Agreement.
If the Client fails to pay any amount due under this Agreement, Slapshot may charge the Client interest on the overdue amount, payable by the Client on demand, from the due date up to the date of actual payment, after as well as before judgment, at the rate of 4% per annum above the base rate for the time being of the Bank of England. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis and be compounded quarterly.

The Agreement will come into effect on the date of your first use of the Services and shall remain in effect until terminated in accordance with this Agreement (the “Term)”.
Slapshot may terminate (or at its sole option suspend) the Agreement or part thereof:
immediately on giving notice in writing to you if the Client fails to pay any sum due under the Agreement (otherwise than as a consequence of any default on Slapshot’s part) and such sum remains unpaid for five (5) days after written notice from Slapshot requiring such sum to be paid;
immediately on giving notice in writing to you if you are in material breach of any term of the Agreement (other than any failure by the Client to make any payment hereunder, in which event the provisions of Clause 12.2.1 shall apply) and, in the case of a breach capable of being remedied, shall have failed to have remedied, within 30 days of receiving notice requiring you to do so.
Notwithstanding the above, Slapshot may suspend access to any part of the Platform and/or the Services immediately without notice if: (a) you are in breach of this Agreement; or (b) your use of the Services has or is likely to have an adverse impact on Slapshot, its clients, or any other third party. Suspension in accordance with the foregoing shall not relieve you of any of your liabilities or obligations under this Agreement.
Either Party may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by giving written notice to the other if the other commits a material breach of any obligation under this Agreement and if a Party is the subject of a bankruptcy order, or becomes insolvent, or makes any arrangement or composition with or assignment for the benefit of its creditors or goes into voluntary or compulsory liquidation (other than for the purpose of amalgamation or reconstruction) or a receiver or administrator is appointed over the Party’s assets.
Consequences of Termination and Expiry
Notwithstanding the service of a notice to terminate this Agreement or any part thereof, Slapshot shall continue to provide the ordered Services until the date of expiry or termination (howsoever arising) of this Agreement (or any part thereof) or such other date as required under this Clause 13.
Within ten (10) Working Days of the earlier of the date of expiry or termination (howsoever arising) of this Agreement:
the License shall automatically terminate; and
Slapshot shall submit invoices for any Services that it has supplied to the Client, but for which no invoice has been submitted and the Client shall pay these invoices immediately on receipt.
Subject to Clause 14 (Liability), if the Client terminates this Agreement other than in compliance with the provisions of Clause 12.3, the Client shall indemnify Slapshot against any reasonable commitments, liabilities or expenditure which would otherwise represent an unavoidable loss by Slapshot by reason of the termination of this Agreement, provided that Slapshot takes reasonable steps to mitigate such loss.
Any termination of the Agreement howsoever occasioned shall not affect any accrued rights or liabilities of either party nor shall it affect the coming into force or the continuance in force of any provision hereof which is expressly or by implication intended to come into or continue in force on or after such termination.
Liability
This Clause 14 sets out Slapshot’s entire financial liability (including any liability for the acts or omissions of Slapshot’s employees, agents and sub-contractors) to you in respect of:
any breach of the Agreement; and
any representation, statement or tortious act or omission (including negligence) arising under or in connection with this Agreement.
Except as expressly and specifically provided in this Agreement, all warranties, conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes Slapshot’s liability: for death or personal injury caused by Slapshot’s negligence; or
for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
any other liability which cannot be excluded by law.
In claiming against Slapshot for any such losses you are expected to avoid losses occurring and take reasonable precautions to avoid loss (such as contacting Slapshot promptly upon becoming aware of an issue).
Both parties expressly agree that Slapshot’s aggregate liability and your sole and exclusive remedy in connection with any dispute under this Agreement shall be a claim for monetary damages not to exceed the amount of fees paid by Client for use of the Services in the twelve (12) months preceding the event that gives rise to the claim.
Slapshot will not be liable under this Agreement for:
use not consistent with Slapshot’s applicable description of the Service in question; or
indirect, special or consequential losses or loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, reputation, wasted management time or anticipated savings.
In the event of any breach of the warranties provided by Slapshot in Clause 6.2, your exclusive remedy and Slapshot’s only obligation and liability to the Client shall be as set out in Clause 6.4.
If our performance of our obligations under this Agreement is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of Client, Client’s Affiliates, agents, subcontractors, consultants or employees, or Collaborators we shall not be liable for any costs, liabilities, charges or losses sustained or incurred by you or your Affiliates that arise directly or indirectly from such prevention or delay.
You shall indemnify Slapshot against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including but not limited to any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal costs (calculated on a full indemnity basis) and all other professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by Slapshot arising out of or in connection with:
any breach by you of the warranties contained in this Agreement;
your breach or negligent performance or non-performance of this agreement;
any claim made against Slapshot for actual or alleged infringement of a third party’s intellectual property rights arising out of or in connection with any content or materials provided by you to Slapshot during the term of the Agreement.
Force Majeure
In no event shall either Party be liable for any delay or failure to perform hereunder, which delay or failure is due to causes beyond the reasonable control of that party, including, without limitation, acts of God, strikes, lock-outs, fires, floods, embargoes, governmental acts or regulations, war or civil disturbances. The delayed Party’s time for performance shall be extended for a period of time equivalent to the time lost because of the excusable delay.
Transfer and Sub-Contracting
You shall not, without the prior written consent of Slapshot, assign, transfer, charge, assign, sub-contract or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Slapshot may at any time assign, transfer, charge, sub-contract or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement.
Dispute Resolution and Class Action Waiver
You and Slapshot shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a settlement of any dispute between them arising out of or in connection with this Agreement within sixty (60) days of either party notifying the other of the dispute.
If the dispute cannot be resolved by the parties within such sixty (60) day period, the Parties agree to enter non-binding mediation.
If the parties are unable to resolve their dispute within thirty (30) days after non-binding mediation, the parties agree to submit to arbitration as follows:
THIS SECTION CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS ABOUT HOW TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE WITH US.
Except if you opt-out as expressly permitted below, or except to the extent contrary to applicable law (“Excluded Disputes”), you hereby agree that all disputes between you and us (whether or not such dispute involves a third party) with regard to your relationship with us may, in our discretion, be resolved by binding, individual arbitration under the American Arbitration Association’s rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes and you hereby expressly waive trial by jury. You agree that you shall not participate in any class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this Agreement. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if we are a party to the proceeding. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with this Agreement. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. To opt out, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision. You must use this address to opt out: legal@slapshot.ai, insert “Arbitration Opt Out” in the subject line of the email, and include your name and residence address, the email address you use for your account with us, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. This arbitration agreement and class action waiver will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
Waiver and Severability
In the event that any party to this Agreement fails to exercise any right or remedy contained herein, this shall not be construed as a waiver of that right or remedy.
In the event that any of these terms are found to be unlawful, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, that term is to be deemed severed from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions. This term shall apply only within jurisdictions where a particular term is illegal.
Previous Terms and Conditions
In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any prior versions thereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail unless it is expressly stated otherwise.
Entire Agreement and Variation
