Cloud Service Agreement

Version 2.1 • Released November 5, 2024

These Cloud Service Agreement Standard Terms (Version 2.1) govern your use of Forward Inc.’s services. By using our services, you agree to these terms. Forward Inc. is a Delaware corporation.

1. Service

Access and Use. During the Subscription Period and subject to the terms of this Agreement, you may (a) access and use the Cloud Service; and (b) copy and use the included Software and Documentation only as needed to access and use the Cloud Service, in each case, for your internal business purposes. If one of your Affiliates enters a separate Order Form with Forward Inc., that Affiliate creates a separate agreement between Forward Inc. and the Affiliate, where Forward Inc.’s responsibility to that Affiliate is individual and separate from you, and you are not responsible for your Affiliate’s agreement.
Support. During the Subscription Period, Forward Inc. will provide Technical Support as described in the Order Form.
User Accounts. You are responsible for all actions on Users’ accounts and for all Users’ compliance with this Agreement. You and Users must protect the confidentiality of your passwords and login credentials. You will promptly notify Forward Inc. if you suspect or know of any fraudulent activity with your accounts, passwords, or credentials, or if they become compromised.
Feedback and Usage Data. You may, but are not required to, give Forward Inc. Feedback, in which case you give Feedback “AS IS”. Forward Inc. may use all Feedback freely without any restriction or obligation. In addition, Forward Inc. may collect and analyze Usage Data, and Forward Inc. may freely use Usage Data to maintain, improve, enhance, and promote Forward Inc.’s products and services without restriction or obligation. However, Forward Inc. may only disclose Usage Data to others if the Usage Data is aggregated and does not identify you or Users.
Customer Content. Forward Inc. may copy, display, modify, and use Customer Content only as needed to provide and maintain the Product and related offerings. You are responsible for the accuracy and content of Customer Content.
Machine Learning. Usage Data and Customer Content may be used to develop, train, or enhance artificial intelligence or machine learning models that are part of Forward Inc.’s products and services, including third-party components of the Product, and you authorize Forward Inc. to process your Usage Data and Customer Content for such purposes. However, (a) Usage Data and Customer Content must be aggregated before it can be used for these purposes, and (b) Forward Inc. will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with industry standard technology to de-identify Usage Data and Customer Content before such use. Nothing in this section will reduce or limit Forward Inc.’s obligations regarding Personal Data that may be contained in Usage Data or Customer Content under Applicable Data Protection Laws. Due to the nature of artificial intelligence and machine learning, information generated by these features may be incorrect or inaccurate. Product features that include artificial intelligence or machine learning models are not human and are not a substitute for human oversight.

Personal Data. Before submitting Personal Data governed by GDPR, you must enter into a data processing agreement with Forward Inc.

Exclusive Remedy. This Section 9 (Indemnification), together with any termination rights, describes each Protected Party’s exclusive remedy and each Indemnifying Party’s entire liability for a Covered Claim.

10. Confidentiality

Non-Use and Non-Disclosure. Except as otherwise authorized in the Agreement or as needed to fulfill its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement, Recipient will not (a) use Discloser’s Confidential Information; nor (b) disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information to anyone else.

Permitted Disclosures. Recipient may disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information to Users, employees, advisors, contractors, and representatives who each have a need to know the Confidential Information, but only if the person or entity is bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those in this Section 10 (Confidentiality) and Recipient remains responsible for everyone’s compliance with the terms of this Section 10 (Confidentiality).

Except for the limited rights in Section 1.5 (Customer Content) and 1.6 (Machine Learning), you retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Customer Content.

12. General Terms

Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the only agreement between the parties about its subject and this Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous statements (whether in writing or not) about its subject. Forward Inc. expressly rejects any terms included in your purchase order or similar document, which may only be used for accounting or administrative purposes. No terms or conditions in any of your documentation or online vendor portal will apply to your use of the Product unless expressly agreed to in a legally binding written agreement signed by an authorized Forward Inc. representative, regardless of what such terms may say.
Modifications, Severability, and Waiver. Any waiver, modification, or change to the Agreement must be in writing and signed or electronically accepted by each party. If any term of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a relevant court or governing body, the remaining terms of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. The failure of a party to enforce a term or to exercise an option or right in this Agreement will not constitute a waiver by that party of the term, option, or right.
Governing Law and Chosen Courts. The Governing Law will govern all interpretations and disputes about this Agreement, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. The parties will bring any legal suit, action, or proceeding about this Agreement in the Chosen Courts, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts.
Injunctive Relief. Despite Section 12.3 (Governing Law and Chosen Courts), a breach of Section 10 (Confidentiality) or the violation of a party’s intellectual property rights may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages cannot adequately compensate. As a result, upon the actual or threatened breach of Section 10 (Confidentiality) or violation of a party’s intellectual property rights, the non-breaching or non-violating party may seek appropriate equitable relief, including an injunction, in any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post a bond and without limiting its other rights or remedies.
Non-Exhaustive Remedies. Except where the Agreement provides for an exclusive remedy, seeking or exercising a remedy does not limit the other rights or remedies available to a party.
Assignment. Neither party may assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. However, either party may assign this Agreement upon notice if the assigning party undergoes a merger, change of control, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all its equity, business, or assets to which this Agreement relates. Any attempted but non-permitted assignment is void. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
Beta Products. If Forward Inc. gives you access to a Beta Product, the Beta Product is provided “AS IS” and Section 6.3 (Representations & Warranty From Provider) does not apply to any Beta Products.

Logo Rights. Forward Inc. may identify you and use your name and logo in marketing to identify you as a user of Forward Inc.’s products and services.

No Third-Party Beneficiary. There are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for a delay or failure to perform its obligations of this Agreement if caused by a Force Majeure Event. However, this section does not excuse your obligations to pay Fees.
Export Controls. You may not remove or export from the United States or allow the export or re-export of the Product or any related technology or materials in violation of any restrictions, laws, or regulations of the United States Department of Commerce, OFAC, or any other United States or foreign agency or authority. You represent and warrant that you are not (a) a resident or national of an Embargoed Country; (b) an entity organized under the laws of an Embargoed Country; (c) designated on any list of prohibited, restricted, or sanctioned parties maintained by the U.S. government or agencies or other applicable governments or agencies, including OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List and the UN Security Council Consolidated List; nor (d) 50% or more owned by any party designated on any of the above lists. Forward Inc. may terminate this Agreement immediately without notice or liability to comply, as determined in Forward Inc.’s sole discretion, with applicable export controls and sanctions laws and regulations.

Any use, modification, reproduction, release, performance, display, or disclosure of the Product by the U.S. Government will be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and all other use is prohibited.
Anti-Bribery. Neither party will take any action that would be a violation of any Applicable Laws that prohibit the offering, giving, promising to offer or give, or receiving, directly or indirectly, money or anything of value to any third party to assist Forward Inc. or you in retaining or obtaining business. Examples of these kinds of laws include the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act 2010.
Titles and Interpretation. Section titles are for convenience and reference only. All uses of “including” and similar phrases are non-exhaustive and without limitation. The United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act do not apply to this Agreement.
