MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Master Services Agreement (“Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions between Customer (as defined below) and Whimsical, Inc., a Delaware corporation with a place of business at 1630 Welton Street, 7^th Floor, Denver, Colorado 80202 USA (“Whimsical”), which govern Customer’s and its Affiliates’ access to and use of Whimsical’s Services. Whimsical and Customer may individually be referred to as a “party” and collectively “the parties”. The Agreement is effective as of the date that you sign up for the Services online or submit an Order Form that references this Agreement (the “Effective Date”). This Agreement includes and incorporates the Order Form, if applicable, and any exhibits thereto, the Policies, and (as applicable) any DPA or other agreement related to the Services and executed by the parties. In the event of a conflict between the Order Form and this Agreement, the Order Form shall control. There shall be no force or effect to any different terms of any related purchase order or similar form even if signed by the parties after the date hereof.

By accepting this Agreement, either by clicking a box indicating your acceptance, executing an Order Form or other document that references this Agreement, by using (or making any payment for) the Services, or by otherwise indicating your acceptance of this Agreement, you: (1) agree to this Agreement on behalf of the customer indicated on the Order Form (if applicable) or the organization, business, or other legal entity for which you act (“Customer,” “you,” or “your”); and (2) represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind Customer to this Agreement. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with this Agreement, you must not accept this Agreement and may not use the Services.

Many organizations, such as businesses, use Whimsical’s Services. If you are accessing or using the Services on behalf of an organization, business, or other legal entity (an “Organization”) then your Organization is legally and financially responsible for your access to and use of the Services as well as for the use of your Whimsical account by others affiliated with the Organization, including any employees, agents, or contractors. For the avoidance of doubt, the Organization for which you act will be considered the “Customer” under this Agreement. Further, if a Workspace is created by an Administrator that uses an Organization email and such Workspace maintains an Administrator whose account uses an Organization email, that Organization, subject to such Organization having the necessary subscription plan and prior notice to relevant Users, may gain access to account information associated with such Workspace or may claim control and ownership of such Workspace. If you are accessing the Services for personal use only (i.e., not in connection with an Organization), your use of the Services is governed by the Whimsical Terms of Service available at https://whimsical.com/terms.

4. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

4.1 Each party (the “Receiving Party”) shall protect the Confidential Information of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) using the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information (but not less than reasonable care).  The Receiving Party shall (a) not use or disclose any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose except as necessary in performance of its obligations under this Agreement or as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, and (b) limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its employees and contractors who have a need to know such Confidential Information 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.  Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is made generally available to the public without breach of this Agreement or of any existing confidentiality obligations governing such information; (ii) is developed by the Receiving Party independently from and without reference to the Confidential Information; (iii) is disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party without restriction; or (iv) was in the Receiving Party’s lawful possession prior to disclosure and was not obtained by the Receiving Party either directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party.

All Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party. Upon termination, the Receiving Party shall cease any use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Upon the Disclosing Party’s written request, the Receiving Party shall promptly return or destroy all documents and tangible materials containing Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and provide a signed document attesting to such return or destruction.

The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information may cause substantial harm for which damages alone may not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party, the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.
