NOVEDGE TERMS OF SALE

TERMS OF SALE – RESALE AGREEMENT

This Resale Agreement (this “Agreement") governs the purchase and use of hardware, applications, and software (the “Products”) resold by Novedge, between Novedge LLC, a California limited liability company (“Novedge”), and you, the end customer and user of the Products resold by Novedge (“Customer”).

By accepting this Agreement, whether by clicking a box indicating its acceptance, navigating through a login page where a link to this Agreement is provided, or executing a Purchase Order that references this Agreement, Customer agrees to the terms of this Agreement. If Customer and Novedge have executed a written agreement governing Customer’s access to and use of a Product, then the terms of such signed agreement will govern and will supersede this Agreement.

This Agreement is effective as of the earlier of the date that Customer accepts the terms of this Agreement as indicated above or first accesses or uses any of the Products (the “Effective Date”). Novedge reserves the right to modify or update the terms of this Agreement in its discretion, the effective date of which will be the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days from the date of such update or modification and (ii) Customer’s continued use of the Products.

Novedge and Customer hereby agree as follows.

2. RESALE AND LICENSE

2.1 Purchase of the Products. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Customer is agreeing to purchase Products provided by a Product Producer through Novedge. Novedge is a reseller of such Products, and does not manufacture or produce such Products in any way. Customer agrees that, upon the execution of any Purchase Order of the Products, Customer shall additionally be subject to the terms and conditions of the Product Producer’s End User Agreement, which can be found or requested at such Product Producer’s website. Customer hereby acknowledges that Novedge is not a party to the Product Producer’s End User Agreement, and that the Product Producer’s End User Agreement provides all rights and responsibilities related to the Products, other than those provided herein. Novedge shall not be liable for any rights or responsibilities related to such Product Producer’s End User Agreement, the suitability or performance of any Products, or any claims of any kind related thereto.

2.2 License to Novedge. Customer grants Novedge a non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, store, and process Customer Data solely to provide the Products to Customer. Customer represents and warrants that it possesses the necessary rights and consents to grant Novedge the rights set forth in this Section 2.2 with respect to Customer Data.

3. WARRANTIES; RETURNS

3.1 Disclaimer. As a reseller of the Products, Novedge disclaims any representation or warranty that the Products will be substantially free of defects.

3.2 Remedies. In the event of any defects in the Products, Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy will be controlled by the Product Producer’s End User Agreement, and Novedge shall have no liability related thereto. In the case of any such defects, Customer understands that they should contact the Product Producer for any remedy.  

3.3 Returns.  Except as otherwise stated herein, Novedge does not accept returns for any Hardware purchases. Subject to any return or refund restrictions imposed by any Software Producer, Novedge may, in its sole and absolute discretion, consider any reasonable refund or return requests for any Software purchased by Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, each Software Producer’s refund and return policy is different, which may preclude Novedge’s ability to offer any refund or remedy entirely. Thus, it is Customer’s responsibility to ensure that the Products they purchase are compatible with their needs. For any returns or refunds beyond the scope of this Agreement, Customer must reach out to the Product Producer directly for any warranty, refund, or return policies.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you believe you have received any Products in error, or wish to consult with Novedge regarding your purchase, please contact us at info@novedge.com.

7. FEES AND SHIPPING

7.1 Fees. Customer shall pay the fees for the Products set forth on the applicable Purchase Order.

For Products purchased directly through Novedge’s website, payment is due immediately at the point of sale. For any Product purchases conducted with Novedge directly, payment will be due as agreed upon between Customer and Novedge at the time of such purchase (the “Due Date”).

7.2 Overdue Charges.

8.1 Confidential Information. Except as explicitly excluded below, any information of a confidential or proprietary nature provided by a party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) constitutes the Disclosing Party’s confidential and proprietary information (“Confidential Information”). Novedge’s Confidential Information includes the Products. Customer’s Confidential Information includes Customer Data. Confidential Information does not include information which is (i) already known by the receiving party without an obligation of confidentiality other than pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) publicly known or becomes publicly known through no unauthorized act of the Receiving Party; (iii) rightfully received from a third party without a confidentiality obligation to the Disclosing Party; or (iv) independently developed by the Receiving Party without access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

8.2 Confidentiality Obligations.  Each party will use the Confidential Information of the other party only as necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, will not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party, and will protect the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information with the same standard of care as the Receiving Party uses or would use to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event will the Receiving Party use less than a reasonable standard of care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may share the other party’s Confidential Information with those of its employees, agents and representatives who have a need to know such information and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those contained herein (each, a “Representative”). Each party shall be responsible for any breach of confidentiality by any of its Representatives.

8.3 Additional Exclusions. A Receiving Party will not violate its confidentiality obligations if it discloses the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information if required by applicable laws, including by court subpoena or similar instrument so long as the Receiving Party provides the Disclosing Party with written notice of the required disclosure so as to allow the Disclosing Party to contest or seek to limit the disclosure or obtain a protective order. If no protective order or other remedy is obtained, the Receiving Party will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required, and agrees to exercise reasonable efforts to ensure that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Confidential Information so disclosed.

9. DATA PROTECTION

9.1 Security. Novedge secures Customer Data in accordance with its privacy practices available here. Any protections provided by a Product Producer can be requested or reviewed at such Product Producer’s website.

Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Novedge, its affiliates, and their respective owners, directors, members, officers, and employees (together, the “Novedge Indemnitees”) from and against any claim, action, demand, suit or proceeding (each, a “Claim”) related to (a) Customer’s or a User’s engaging in a Prohibited Use, (b) Customer’s breach of its obligations in Section 5.1, and (c) any and all acts or omissions of its Users. Customer will pay any settlement of and any damages finally awarded against any Novedge Indemnitee by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of any such Claim so long as Novedge (i) gives Customer prompt written notice of the Claim, (ii) gives Customer sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (provided that Customer may not settle any Claim without Novedge’s prior written consent which will not be unreasonably withheld), and (iii) provides to Customer all reasonable assistance, at Customer’s request and expense.
