This Agreement, together with the Service Order, replaces and supersedes Company’s Terms of Services.

1.2 Customer acknowledges that Company does not provide waste management or function as a waste management carrier. The Company’s Services may be used by Customer to request and schedule waste management services with Third-Party Providers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and a Service Order. Customer agrees that Company has no responsibility or liability to Customer related to any waste management provided to Customer by Third-Party Providers through the use of the Services other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Service Order. Company does not guarantee the suitability, safety, or ability of Third-Party Providers. It is solely Customer’s responsibility to determine if a Third-Party Provider will meet Customer’s needs and expectations. Company will not participate in disputes between Customer and a Third-Party Provider. 1.3 By using the Services, Customer acknowledges it may be exposed to situations involving Third-Party Providers that are potentially unsafe, offensive, harmful to minors, or otherwise objectionable, and that use of Third-Party Providers arranged or scheduled using the Services is at Customer’s own risk and judgment. Company shall not have any liability arising from or in any way related to Customer’s transactions or relationship with Third-Party Providers.

2.1 License; Restrictions. Subject to Customer’s full and continued performance of its obligations under this Agreement, together with any Service Order, Company grants to Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non- sublicensable, revocable, non-transferrable license to: (i) access and use the Applications on Customer’s own device solely in connection with Customer’s use of the Services; and (ii) access and use any content, information, and related materials that may be made available through the Services, in each case solely for Customer’s limited use strictly in accordance with this Agreement. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Company and Company’s licensors.

2.2 Company agrees that it will not take, or permit to be taken, any of the following actions:

a. Remove any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices from any portion of the Services;

b. Reproduce, modify, prepare derivative works based upon, distribute, license, lease, sell, resell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, stream, broadcast, or otherwise exploit the Services except as expressly permitted by Company;

e. Link to, mirror, or frame any portion of the Services;

g. Attempt to gain unauthorized access to or impair any aspect of the Services or its related systems or networks.

3. Use of Services.

a. Other Services and Content. The Services may be made available or accessed in connection with content provided by other entities  (including advertising) that Company does not control. Customer acknowledges that different terms may apply to its use of such entities and content. Company does not endorse such entities and content and in no event shall Company be responsible or liable for any products or services of such entities.

b. User Requirements and Conduct. The Service is not available for use by persons under the age of 18. Customer may not authorize third parties to use Customer’s account and may not allow persons under the age of 18 to receive waste management services from Third Party Providers. Customer may not assign or otherwise transfer its account with Company to any other person or entity. Customer agrees to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances when using the Services, including but not limited to any laws, ordinances or rules (including without limitation the rules of any applicable home owners association or condominium owners association), or orders relating to Customer’s mandatory maintenance of waste management services. Customer further acknowledges that it may only use the Services for lawful purposes, and that this limitation will exclude certain types of materials from the Services, including without limitation the transport of unlawful or hazardous materials. Company grants Third Party Service Providers a license to enter onto the Premises for the purpose of providing the Services. Customer will not, in using the Services, cause nuisance, annoyance, inconvenience, or property damage, whether to the Third-Party Provider or any other party. In certain instances, at its discretion, Company may require Customer to provide proof of identity to access or use the Services, and Customer agrees that it may be denied access or use of the Services if Customer refuses to provide proof of identity. Company’s Services are designed for on-demand waste management, and not for personal transport. Any driver who transports Customer during the transaction is doing so completely under their own personal insurance and liability. This is not a service that Company provides. Any such use for personal transport constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. In the event of any breach by Customer of any provision of this Section 3(b), Customer shall pay to Company liquidated damages, as specified in Section 10. Any breach by Customer of this Section shall be deemed a material breach.

c. Text Messaging. Customer understands that it may receive informational text (SMS) messages as part of the normal business operation of Customer’s use of the Services. Customer acknowledges that opting out of receiving text (SMS) messages may impact your use of the Services.

d. Promotional Codes. Company may, in its sole discretion, create promotional codes that may be redeemed for account credit or other features or benefits related to a Third-Party Provider’s services, subject to terms that Company establishes on a per promotional code basis (“Promo Codes”). Customer agrees that Promo Codes: (i) must be used only for the intended audience and purpose, and in a lawful manner; (ii) may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner, or made available to the general public, unless expressly permitted by Company; (iii) may be disabled by Company at any time for any reason without liability to Company; (iv) may only be used pursuant to the specific terms established by Company for such Promo Code; (v) are not valid for cash; and (vi) may expire prior to Customer’s use. Company reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of Promo Codes by Customer in the event that Company determines or believes that the use or redemption of the Promo Code was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the applicable Promo Code terms or this Agreement.

e. User-Provided Content. Company may, in its sole discretion, permit Customer from time to time to submit, upload, publish or otherwise make available to Company through the Services textual, audio, and/or visual content and information, including commentary and feedback related to the Services, initiation of support requests, and submission of entries for competitions and promotions (“User Content”). Any User Content provided by Customer remains your property. However, by providing User Content to Company, Customer grants to Company a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferrable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise exploit in any manner such User Content in all formats and distribution channels now known or hereafter devised (including in connection with the Services and Company’s business and on third-party sites and services), without further notice to or consent from Customer, and without the requirement of payment to Customer or any other person or entity. Customer represents and warrants that: (i) Customer is either the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content or has all rights, licenses, consents and releases necessary to grant Company the license to the User Content as set forth above; and (ii) neither the User Content nor Customer’s submission, uploading, publishing or otherwise making available of such User Content nor Company’s use of the User Content as permitted herein will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation. Customer agrees to not provide User Content that is defamatory, libelous, hateful, violent, obscene, pornographic, unlawful, or otherwise offensive, as determined by Company in its sole discretion, whether or not such material may be protected by law. Company may, but shall not be obligated to, review, monitor, or remove User Content, at Company’s sole discretion and at any time and for any reason, without notice to Customer.

f. Network Access and Devices. Customer is responsible for obtaining and maintaining the data network access necessary to use the Services. Customer’s mobile network’s data and messaging rates and fees may apply if the Services are accessed or the Services from a wireless-enabled device. Customer is responsible for acquiring and updating compatible hardware or devices necessary to access and use the Services and Applications and any updates thereto. Company does not guarantee that the Services, or any portion thereof, will function on any particular hardware or devices. In addition, the Services may be subject to malfunctions and delays inherent in the use of the Internet and electronic communications.

4. Ownership; Publicity Right.

a. Ownership. The Services and all rights therein are and shall remain Company’s property or the property of Company’s licensors.

Customer is responsible for payment of all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder (excluding taxes based on Dimension’s net income or property), and any related penalties and interest. Customer will, upon request, provide Dimension with official receipts issued by appropriate taxing authorities, or such other evidence as Dimension may reasonably request, to establish that such Taxes have been paid.  Except as expressly set forth herein, all payments shall be in accordance with the Service Order.

A non-breaching Party may immediately terminate this agreement at any time following a breach by the other Party, which such other Party fails to cure within five (5) days after receiving written notice describing the terms of the alleged breach and the steps the breaching Party should take to cure such breach. In the event of Customer’s breach of its payment obligations under Section 5, then following such notice and opportunity to cure, the liquidated damages provisions of Section 10 shall additionally apply. In the event of Customer’s breach of its obligations under Section 3(b), no notice or cure period shall apply, and the liquidated damages provisions of Section 10 shall immediately apply. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Company from terminating this Agreement in accordance with the Terms of Services.

9. ARBITRATION. EXCEPT FOR CUSTOMER’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS, WHICH SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION SET FORTH IN SECTION 7, AND EXCEPT FOR CUSTOMER’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION, ENFORCEMENT, INTERPRETATION OR VALIDITY THEREOF, INCLUDING THE DETERMINATION OF THE SCOPE OR APPLICABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, SHALL BE DETERMINED BY ARBITRATION IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA BEFORE ONE ARBITRATOR. THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE ADMINISTERED BY JAMS (FORMERLY KNOWN AS JUDICIAL ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION SERVICES, INC.), PURSUANT TO ITS COMPREHENSIVE ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES. JUDGMENT ON THE AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION. THIS CLAUSE SHALL NOT PRECLUDE PARTIES FROM SEEKING PROVISIONAL REMEDIES IN AID OF ARBITRATION FROM A COURT OF APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.  THE PARTIES  ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THEY ARE  EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR MEMBER IN ANY CLASS IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING UNLESS BOTH YOU AND DIMENSION OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY  CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, EXCEPT WHERE SUCH WAIVER IS PROHIBITED BY LAW OR DEEMED BY A COURT OF LAW TO  BE AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY.  TO THE EXTENT EITHER PARTY IS PERMITTED BY LAW OR COURT OF LAW TO PROCEED WITH A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT: (I) THE PREVAILING PARTY SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS’ FEES OR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PURSUING THE CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION (NOT WITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT); AND (II) THE PARTY WHO INITIATES OR PARTICIPATES AS A MEMBER OF THE CLASS WILL NOT SUBMIT A CLAIM OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY RECOVERY SECURED THROUGH THE CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.  

10. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. IN THE EVENT OF CUSTOMER’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER EITHER SECTION 3(b) OR SECTION 5 OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND, IN THE CASE SOLELY OF ANY BREACH OF SECTION 5, SUBJECT TO THE NOTICE AND CURE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 8, COMPANY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE, AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, PAYMENT IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO: (A) IN THE CASE OF A BREACH OF SECTION 3(B), THE GREATER OF (I) TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($20,000.00) OR (II) AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO TWICE THE AMOUNT OF ANY RESULTING LEGAL COSTS, JUDGMENTS, PENALTIES, AND/OR FINES LEVIED AGAINST COMPANY; OR (B) IN THE CASE OF A BREACH OF SECTION 5, THE GREATER OF (I) TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($20,000.00), OR (II) THE FULL AMOUNT OF TWO(2) MONTHS WORTH OF GROSS BILLABLES REMAINING FOR THE CONTRACT TERM. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE NEGATIVE IMPACT ON COMPANY WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL, AND THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE ACTUAL DAMAGES TO BE SUFFERED BY THE NON-BREACHING PARTIES AS A RESULT OF SUCH BREACH, AND THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SENTENCE REPRESENT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH COMPANY WOULD INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH BREACH. THE PARTIES ADDITIONALLY AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING LIQUIDATED DAMAGES ARE REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AT THE TIME THE CONTRACT WAS MADE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1671(B).

SUCH AMOUNT SHALL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR ANY INCIDENT OF BREACH OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE REASONABLE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO COMPANY.

WHEREAS, Company operates the “Services,” comprising a technology platform that enables users of Company’s provided mobile applications or websites (each, an “Application”) to arrange and schedule waste, refuse or bulky item or recycling, removal, moving and/or logistics services with third-party providers of such services (“Third-Party Providers”), including independent third-party moving providers and third-party logistics providers under agreement with Company or its subsidiaries; and

WHEREAS Customer desires to retain the Services at no less than the Minimum Service Levels, and on an ongoing basis from Company for Customer’s facilities as designated in the Service Order (the “Premises”); and

WHEREAS Company desires to render the Services at the Premises;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound do hereby agree as follows:

This Agreement is a “take or pay agreement” such that Customer is absolutely and irrevocably required to pay for the contracted volume of Services per year, at the Minimum Service Level, as designated in the Service Order at the prices and payment terms set forth therein regardless of Customer’s actual usage. As used in this Agreement, “Minimum Service Levels” means a minimum of services provided annually hereunder by Company, via a Third-Party Provider, totaling Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) , at the prices and other specifications stated in the Service Order, during the twelve-month period commencing with the Effective Date and every twelve-month period thereafter for the duration of this Agreement. In the event that Customer fails to purchase the Minimum Service Levels (such failure including but not limit to failure to order contracted volume, or failure to pay the account payable) in a given year, the Seller is entitled to invoice Customer a Minimum Annual Service Fee as specified in the Service Order, and Customer shall pay the full Minimum Annual Service Fee. Customer specifically acknowledges that the Services hereunder are being provided by Company at a significantly discounted rate, and Customer accepts that it will be liable for the full purchase price of either the Minimum Service Levels or the Minimum Annual Service Fee, regardless of whether Customer orders Services equal to the Minimum Service Level.

2. Exclusivity. During the period that this Agreement is in effect, the Company shall be the Customer’s sole provider of the Services, and the sole provider of any trash collection and hauling services that compete, either directly or indirectly, with Company’s Services. Customer agrees that it will not (i) solicit, initiate, or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any person relating to any services competitive with Company’s business. Customer will promptly notify Customer if any individual or entity makes any proposal, offer, inquiry, or contact with respect to any of the foregoing. The services of the Company to Customer under this Agreement are not deemed exclusive, and the Company shall be free to render similar services to other clients and to engage in other activities.

Each Service Order shall be deemed, upon its execution or acceptance, to be incorporated into this Agreement. In interpreting this Agreement, in the event of any ambiguity or conflict between the terms, definitions or obligations of this Agreement and any Service Order, the terms of this Agreement shall control, unless expressly stated otherwise in the Service Order.

JUDGMENT ON THE AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION. THIS CLAUSE SHALL NOT PRECLUDE PARTIES FROM SEEKING PROVISIONAL REMEDIES IN AID OF ARBITRATION FROM A COURT OF APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION. 

12. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. IN THE EVENT OF CUSTOMER’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER EITHER SECTION 5(b) OR SECTION 7 OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND, IN THE CASE SOLELY OF ANY BREACH OF SECTION 7, SUBJECT TO THE NOTICE AND CURE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 10, COMPANY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE, AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, PAYMENT IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO: (A) IN THE CASE OF A BREACH OF SECTION 5(B), THE GREATER OF (I) FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($5,000.00) OR (II) AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO TWICE THE AMOUNT OF ANY RESULTING LEGAL COSTS, JUDGMENTS, PENALTIES, AND/OR FINES LEVIED AGAINST COMPANY; OR (B) IN THE CASE OF A BREACH OF SECTION 7, THE GREATER OF (I) FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($5,000.00), OR (II) THE FULL AMOUNT OF GROSS BILLABLES REMAINING FOR THE CONTRACT TERM.

SUCH AMOUNT SHALL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR ANY INCIDENT OF BREACH OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE REASONABLE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO COMPANY.
