All rights not expressly granted under this Agreement are retained by MOTION.
- Accuracy of Service Materials. 2.2 With respect to its advertising, offering, description, or sale of the Services, MOTION attempts to describe its products as accurately as possible at all times. Nevertheless, MOTION does not warrant that any descriptions, pricing, availability, or other information relating to the Services from its Website, marketing materials, promotional flyers, advertisements, or other printed or electronic materials (collectively, “Service Materials”) are always accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. Despite our efforts, it is possible that information provided in Service Materials may be mispriced, described inaccurately, or that the Service may be unavailable. In the event MOTION determines that a Service is mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable, MOTION reserves the right to take any action it deems reasonable and necessary to rectify the error, including without limitation, canceling your account or subscription to the Services. You agree to notify MOTION immediately if you become aware of any pricing or descriptive errors or inconsistencies with any Services you order through the Service Materials and comply with any corrective action taken by MOTION. MOTION’s sole and exclusive liability will be to use its reasonable commercial efforts to correct any non-conformity. In the event MOTION is unable through reasonable efforts to correct a defective Service or non-conformity, you may elect to terminate this Agreement and receive a prorated refund of any pre-paid, unused recurring fees. This refund is your sole and exclusive remedy for any non-conformity in the Services.

In the event that a change to the Services would, in MOTION’s reasonable discretion and judgment, permanently materially diminish or impair the functionality of the Services (“Material Change”), MOTION shall provide you with written notice of such Material Change at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the Material Change will take effect. If the Material Change is unacceptable to you, you may terminate the Services without penalty.

FEES AND PAYMENT
- Fees. Indicative pricing for the Services available at https://motionmeetings.co/pricing/ is provided for discussion purposes only. Customer acknowledges that only those fees specified in Order Forms, including all applicable taxes and Overage Charges, as well as Pass-Through Charges not otherwise specified in Order Forms such as SMS/MMS carrier fees or other charges should they arise or be billed by any underlying carrier or provider (each a “Pass-Through Charge”) shall apply and prevail. Customer agrees to promptly pay MOTION pay all fees specified in Order Forms including all applicable taxes and additional fees. Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order Form, (i) fees are based on Services and Content subscriptions purchased and not actual usage, (ii) payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, and (iii) quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term.
- Deposits. MOTION may, upon written notice, require Customer to maintain sufficient funds on deposit with MOTION to pay for Pass-Through Charges when incurred (unless otherwise set forth in any Service Order), and Customer hereby authorizes MOTION to immediately deduct from such deposit the amount of any Pass-Through Charge when incurred by Customer. If funds on deposit become at any point insufficient to pay for all charges due and owing, then Customer shall immediately deposit an amount required to zero out such insufficiency with MOTION. MOTION reserves the right to suspend all Services in the event Customer has a negative balance on deposit with MOTION.
- Invoicing and Payment. Customer will provide MOTION with valid and updated credit card information, or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to MOTION. If Customer provides credit card information to MOTION, Customer authorizes MOTION to charge such credit card for all Purchased Services listed in the Order Form for the initial subscription term and any renewal subscription term(s) as set forth in the “Term of Purchased Subscriptions” section below. Such charges, including but not limited to applicable initiation/installation charges, monthly recurring charges, support charges, and other fees shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order Form. Any additional usage charges are billed in arrears. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, invoiced fees are due net 30 days from the invoice date. If the Order Form specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, MOTION will invoice Customer in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to MOTION and notifying MOTION of any changes to such information, such as credit card account number, change of address, or expiration date changes. If the credit card or other payment method on your account is declined or fails for any reason, MOTION will use reasonable efforts to contact you and advise you of the failed billing attempts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MOTION reserves the right to disconnect your Service and terminate your account if your credit card on file is declined or fails for any reason. MOTION further reserves the right to continue to attempt charging your credit card for any outstanding Service charges and additional fees and pursue any other legal remedies available to MOTION. We may assess an additional fee of the lesser of (a) fifty dollars ($50) or (b) the highest amount allowed by law for any credit card chargeback or check returned for nonpayment. Any payment authorization will remain valid until thirty (30) days after you terminate our authority to charge your payment method. Upon termination, you hereby agree that MOTION may charge you any fees and any other outstanding charges and disconnect your service.
- Overdue Charges. Time is of the essence for payment. If any invoiced amount is not received by MOTION by the due date, then without limiting MOTION’s rights or remedies, (a) those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, and/or (b) MOTION may condition future subscription renewals and Order Forms on payment terms shorter than those specified in the “Invoicing and Payment” section above. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “Paid in Full”) shall not waive any of MOTION’s rights to collect the full amount due.
- Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any charge owing by Customer under this or any other agreement for the Services is 30 days or more overdue, (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts Customer has authorized MOTION to charge to Customer’s credit card), MOTION may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, accelerate Customer’s unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Services until such amounts are paid in full, provided that, other than for customers paying by credit card or direct debit whose payment has been declined, MOTION will give Customer at least 10 days’ prior notice that its account is overdue, in accordance with the “Manner of Giving Notice” section below for billing notices, before suspending the Services to Customer.
- Payment Disputes. You must dispute any charges for the Services in writing to MOTION customer support within thirty (30) days of the date of the charge by MOTION. If you do not provide a written statement explaining in reasonable detail your reasons for disputing the charge within such time period, you hereby irrevocably waive any objection and further recourse with regard to such charges. MOTION will not exercise its rights under the “Overdue Charges” or “Suspension of Service and Acceleration” section above if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
- Taxes. MOTION’s fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder, including paying all personal property, sales, use, and other taxes and license and registration fees and other assessments or charges levied or imposed by any governmental body or agency as a result of the execution or performance of this Agreement, including your receipt of the Services. For clarity, Customers domiciled in Canada shall be responsible for all harmonized sales tax (HST), provincial sales tax (PST), goods and services tax (GST), value added tax, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any Canadian federal, provincial, territorial or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder. Customer will not withhold any taxes from any amounts due to MOTION unless such withholding or deduction is required by applicable law. In such event, the amount of such payment due from Customer shall be increased to an amount which (after making such withholding or deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment that would have been due if no such withholding or deduction had been required. If MOTION has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, MOTION will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides MOTION with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, MOTION is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.

CONFIDENTIALITY
- Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of Customer includes Customer Data; Confidential Information of MOTION includes the Services and Content, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Order Forms (including pricing). Confidential Information of each party includes business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without knowledge of any breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-disclosure obligations set forth in this “Confidentiality” section apply to Confidential Information exchanged between the parties in connection with the evaluation of additional MOTION services.
- Protection of Confidential Information. As between the parties, each party retains all ownership rights in and to its Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this “Confidentiality” section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MOTION may disclose the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Order Form to a contractor or Non-MOTION Application Provider to the extent necessary to perform MOTION’s obligations under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein.
- Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
