11. Fair Use Policy. You agree that the Services are subject to a fair use policy, which is detailed below. If we provide notice of non-compliant usage, and you refuse to correct your compliance, OnPointe reserves the right to charge up to twelve (12) months in arrears for the actual fair usage of the Services, and to adjust your billing for the remainder of your contract term to reflect your actual fair usage of the Services at the time of notice.

The Fair Use Policy is as follows: OnPointe user accounts may not be shared between multiple individuals, or used by one individual to produce the outputs of the services en masse for multiple advisors. OnPointe user accounts licensed only for administrative assistants may not be used by individuals holding a securities license who meet with clients and/or provide advice. For example, if you present the individual as an advisor or representative of your firm on your web site, they do not qualify for an administrative assistant license. OnPointe reserves the right to determine which named individuals may qualify, to change that determination if their role with your firm changes, and to limit the number of administrative assistant licenses available to you.

12. License to Use Marketing Resources. Subject to your continued status as a paying customer in good standing, OnPointe hereby grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferrable license to utilize its logo and brand images, marketing copy, content resources, white papers, print collateral, slide decks and other marketing resources (the “Marketing Resources”) provided to you, for the sole purpose of promoting your advisory and/or insurance firm’s use of the Services in your marketing communications directed at acquiring and/or retaining clients. You agree to utilize the Marketing Resources in accordance with any Brand Image Guidelines provided to you by OnPointe. You agree to cease and desist from the use of the Marketing Resources if (a) you terminate your OnPointe account and are no longer a paying customer, or (b) OnPointe requests in writing that you do so for any reason.

13. Billing, Payment and Term of Contract. The Services are licensed to you under a contract that you enter into with OnPointe at the time of your subscription. The terms of your contract are encapsulated in an order form that we email to the “account owner” at the time of purchase. If you did not receive or cannot find a copy of your order form, simply request one by sending an email to support@onpointeriskanalyzer.com

Any additional user licenses, add-ons or other services added during the course of your contract will be committed for the remainder of your current contract term, unless otherwise noted on an Order Form for the additional licenses, add-ons or services. All fees are non-refundable once billed. If you believe you have been billed in error, please email support@onpointeriskanalyzer.com and we will be glad to assist.

Termination is deemed effective when you receive a message from the OnPointe Billing Team that your cancellation has been processed.

Once OnPointe has processed your cancellation, your access to and payment for the Services
will continue for the remainder of your contract term. If there is no deadline for notice of non-renewal specified on your order form, such notice of non-renewal must be received by OnPointe thirty (30) days in advance of your next billing date.

OnPointe may, at any time, terminate your account and refuse access to the Services with you if (a) you have breached any provision of the Terms (or have acted in manner which shows that you do not intend to, or are unable to comply with the provisions of the Terms); (b) OnPointe is required to do so by law (for example, where the provision of the Services to you is, or becomes, unlawful); (c) you are no longer a licensed investment advisor, licensed insurance agent or qualified administrator of a licensed investment advisor or licensed insurance agent; (d) OnPointe is transitioning to or no longer providing the Services to users in the jurisdiction in which you are resident or from which you use the Services; (e) the provision of the Services to you by OnPointe is, in OnPointe’s sole discretion, no longer commercially viable; (f) your communication with OnPointe employees is abusive or threatening, in OnPointe’s sole discretion; or (g) you do not pay the amounts due for the Services according to the Terms.

Upon termination, all of the legal rights, obligations and liabilities that you and OnPointe have benefited from, been subject to (or which have accrued over time while the Terms have been in force) or which are expressed to continue indefinitely, will be unaffected by this termination, including the provisions of the “General Legal Terms” and “Conflict of Laws” sections below.

15. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW, YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND THAT THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITH ALL FAULTS.

IN PARTICULAR, ONPOINTE, ITS OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, AND ITS LICENSORS DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT TO YOU THAT: (a) YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, (b) YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, VIRUS FREE OR FREE FROM ERROR, (c) ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED BY YOU AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, AND (d) THAT DEFECTS IN THE OPERATION OR FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED.

ANY MATERIAL DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICES IS DONE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR OTHER DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA THATRESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OF ANY SUCH MATERIAL.

NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM ONPOINTE OR THROUGH OR FROM THE SERVICES WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THE TERMS.

ONPOINTE FURTHER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-

INFRINGEMENT.

BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOUR ACTIVITIES ARE LAWFUL IN EVERY JURISDICTION WHERE YOU ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.

16. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ONPOINTE, ITS OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, AND ITS LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR: ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE INCURRED BY YOU, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY. THIS WILL INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, ANY LOSS OF PROFIT (WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY), ANY LOSS OF GOODWILL OR BUSINESS REPUTATION, ANY LOSS OF DATA SUFFERED, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS; ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE WHICH MAY BE INCURRED BY YOU, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OR DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF YOUR OR ONPOINTE’S ACTIONS; ANY CHANGES WHICH ONPOINTE MAY MAKE TO THE SERVICES, OR FOR ANY PERMANENT OR TEMPORARY CESSATION IN THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICES (OR ANY FEATURES WITHIN THE SERVICES); THE DELETION OF, CORRUPTION OF, OR FAILURE TO STORE, ANY CONTENT AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS DATA MAINTAINED OR TRANSMITTED BY OR THROUGH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES; YOUR FAILURE TO KEEP YOUR PASSWORD OR ACCOUNT DETAILS SECURE AND CONFIDENTIAL;YOUR FAILURE TO PROVIDE ONPOINTE WITH ACCURATE ACCOUNT INFORMATION; ALL OF THE LIMITATIONS ON ONPOINTE’S LIABILITY TO YOU WILL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT ONPOINTE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH LOSSES ARISING. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT WILL THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF ONPOINTE, ITS OFFICERS OR DIRECTORS, ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, AND ITS LICENSORS FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR CAUSES OR ACTION EXCEED FIFTY UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($50.00).

17. Indemnification You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless OnPointe, its officers and directors, its affiliates or subsidiaries, their sponsors, contractors, advertisers, vendors or their partners, and any of their successors or assigns, and any of their respective officers, directors, agents or employees (the “Released Parties”) from any loss, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, claims and proceedings arising out of or relating to: (a) your or your Advisor’s use of the Services; and (b) any alleged breach of the Terms by you.

18. General Legal Terms. The Terms, combined with your order form, constitute the whole legal agreement between you and OnPointe and govern your use of the Services, and completely replace any prior agreements between you and OnPointe in relation to the Services. If you have entered into an Enterprise Customer Agreement or a Master Services Agreement with OnPointe, it is agreed that those terms may supersede these Terms of Service if they clearly state that is the case. You agree that if OnPointe does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in the Terms (or which OnPointe has the benefit of under any
applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of OnPointe’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to OnPointe. If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from the Terms without affecting the rest of the Terms. The remaining provisions of the Terms will continue to be valid and enforceable.

The Terms, and your relationship with OnPointe under the Terms, will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that any dispute regarding the interpretation or enforcement of the terms will be decided by confidential, final and binding arbitration conducted by a mutually agreed to arbitrator located within the County of Berrien, State of Michigan, United States of America. The filing fees and arbitrator’s fees and costs in such arbitration will be borne by the non-prevailing party. The parties will be entitled to reasonable discovery of essential matters as determined by the arbitrator. In the arbitration, the parties will be entitled to all remedies that would have been available if the matter were litigated in a court of law. Notwithstanding this, you agree that OnPointe will still be allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.

OnPointe may assign any or all of its rights hereunder to any party without your consent. You are not permitted to assign any of your rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of OnPointe, and any such attempted assignment will be void and unenforceable.
