3. LICENSE GRANT

 * License to Services. Subject to your compliance with these Agreement,
   Uploadcare hereby grants a personal, non-exclusive, non-commercial,
   non-sublicensable, revocable and non-transferable license to use the Website
   and Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
   No rights are granted to you except as expressly set forth in the Agreement.
 * License to Content. By submitting Content to Uploadcare for inclusion on the
   Services, you grant Uploadcare a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive
   license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content solely for the
   purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting your account and providing
   the Services. Uploadcare has the right to grant to its contractors
   sublicenses under the licenses granted under this section and for the same
   purpose. If you request for the deletion of your Content, Uploadcare will use
   reasonable efforts to remove it from the Services, but you acknowledge that
   caching or references to the Content may not be made immediately unavailable.
 * Feedback. You grant to Uploadcare worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable,
   royalty-free license to use and incorporate into the Services and Website any
   suggestion, enhancement request, recommendation, correction, or other
   feedback provided by you.
 * Trademarks. You consent to Uploadcare’s use of your name and logo and general
   description of your relationship with Uploadcare in press releases and other
   marketing materials and appearances. You grant to Uploadcare worldwide, a
   non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid up license to use and reproduce your
   trademarks, tradenames and logos in Uploadcare’ marketing materials and
   website and to indicate that you are an Uploadcare customer. Uploadcare will
   abide by any written trademark usage guidelines provided by you. All goodwill
   arising out of the use of your trademarks, tradenames and logos shall inure
   to your benefit. To decline Uploadcare this license you need to email
   help@uploadcare.com stating that you do not wish to be used as a reference.


4. VIOLATIVE CONTENT

Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, Uploadcare has the
right (though not the obligation) to, in Uploadcare’s sole discretion (i) refuse
or remove any content that, in Uploadcare’s reasonable opinion, violates any
Uploadcare policy or is in any way harmful or objectionable, or (ii) terminate
or deny access to and use of the Services to any individual or entity for any
reason. Uploadcare will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts
previously paid.


5. PAID SERVICES

 * Fees; Payment. You can sign up for paid Services provided by us (“Paid
   Services”). By signing up for a Paid Services account you agree to pay
   Uploadcare the monthly fees. There are two types of monthly fees:
   “Subscription Fees” and “Usage Fees” indicated at
   https://uploadcare.com/pricing/ or as indicated in your Order Form. By
   signing up for a Paid Services account you agree to pay Uploadcare both
   monthly Subscription Fees and Usage Fees.
 * Subscription Fees are based on the selected subscription type and cover the
   certain number of units. Subscription Fees are charged in advance on the day
   you sign up for the Paid Services and will cover the use of Paid Services for
   a monthly or annual period as indicated.
 * Usage Fees are charged when you exceed the number of units included in your
   subscription plan. Payments related to Usage Fees will be charged at the end
   of each month in which there has been an excess and are based on the tariffs
   applied to your subscription type.
 * Refund, Change and Cancellation of Services. Paid Services fees are not
   refundable. Uploadcare reserves the right to change the payment terms and
   fees upon thirty days prior written notice to you. Paid Services may be
   canceled by you at any time through your account settings page, subject to
   the terms of this Agreement.
 * Discount. Uploadcare may offer you, at its sole discretion, Paid Services at
   a discounted rate (the “Discounted Services”) if you commit to subscribe to
   the Services for an annual or longer subscription period (the “Discount
   Subscription Period”) or as indicated in your Order Form. Payments will be
   charged in advance on the day you sign up for a Discounted Service and will
   cover the use of that service for a monthly or annual subscription period as
   indicated.
 * Invoice. Applicable fees for Paid Services or Discounted Services, as the
   case may be, will be invoiced on the day you sign up for a Service and shall
   be due in advance of using such Services as provided in the Order Form. If
   any invoiced amount based on any combination of Subscription Fees and Usage
   Fees is not received by Uploadcare by the due date, then without limiting
   Uploadcare’s rights or remedies: (a) Uploadcare may suspend your access to
   the Website and/or Services until the invoiced amount will be received
   through your credit card or other payment mechanism; (b) 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; (c)
   Uploadcare may condition future subscription renewals on shorter payment
   terms; and (d) Uploadcare may accelerate your unpaid fee obligations to
   become immediately due and payable, and suspend the provision of Services to
   you until the overdue amounts are paid in full.
 * Automatic Renewal. Unless you notify Uploadcare before the end of the
   applicable subscription period that you want to cancel a Paid Service or
   Discounted Service, your subscription will automatically renew and you
   authorize Uploadcare, or a third party through which you transact (without
   notice to you, unless required by applicable law) to collect the
   then-applicable annual or monthly subscription fee for such Service (as well
   as any taxes) using any credit card or other payment mechanism we have on
   record for you. If all credit cards we have on file for you or any other
   payment method used by you are declined for payment of your membership or
   subscription fees, Uploadcare may suspend or cancel the provision of Services
   to you, as applicable, unless you provide us with a new credit card or
   another payment mechanism. If you provide us with a new credit card and are
   successfully charged before your subscription is cancelled, your new
   subscription period will be based on the original renewal date and not the
   date of the successful charge.
 * Support. Certain Paid Services packages include access to priority email and
   telephone support. “Email support” means the ability to make requests for
   technical support assistance by email at any time (with reasonable efforts by
   Uploadcare to respond within one business day) concerning the use of the Paid
   Services. “Priority” means that support for Paid Services customers takes
   priority over support for users of the standard, free Uploadcare Services.
   All Paid Services support will be provided in accordance with Uploadcare
   standard Paid Services practices, procedures and policies.
 * Order Form. In addition to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
   provision of Paid Services and Discounted Services and your obligations
   relating to the same will be subjected to the terms and conditions of any
   applicable order form provided by Uploadcare to you (the “Order Form”). In
   terms of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Order
   Form, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail except where the Order
   Form expressly provides that it shall prevail over a provision of the
   Agreement.
 * Taxes. All fees for Services and any Upgrades (as defined below) are
   exclusive of taxes, levies, duties or charges imposed by government
   authorities (collectively, “Taxes”). You shall be solely responsible for all
   sales, service, value-added, use, excise, consumption and any other Taxes on
   amounts payable by Customer under the Order Forms and this Agreement (other
   than any Taxes on Uploadcare’s income, revenues, gross receipts, personnel or
   assets). Without limiting the foregoing, if you are required to deduct or
   withhold any Taxes under applicable laws outside the United States, you shall
   remit such Taxes in accordance with those applicable laws and all fees
   payable shall be increased so that Uploadcare receives an amount equal to the
   sum it would have received had no withholding or deduction been made. If an
   applicable tax authority requires Uploadcare to pay any taxes that should
   have been payable by you, Uploadcare will advise you in writing, and you will
   promptly reimburse Uploadcare for the amounts paid.


6. UPGRADES

 * General Terms. Optional Paid Services (including “Service Upgrades” and
   “Usage Upgrades”, collectively, “Upgrades”) are available through the use of
   the Services. By selecting an Upgrade you agree to pay Uploadcare the monthly
   or annual subscription fees indicated for that service. Payments will be
   charged on a pre-pay basis on the day you sign up for an Upgrade and will
   cover the use of that service for a monthly or annual subscription period as
   indicated. Upgrade fees are not refundable.
 * Automatic Renewal. Unless you notify Uploadcare before the end of the
   applicable subscription period that you want to cancel an Upgrade, your
   Upgrade subscription will automatically renew and you authorize us to collect
   the then-applicable annual or monthly subscription fee for such Upgrade (as
   well as any taxes) using any credit card or other payment mechanism we have
   on record for you. Upgrades can be canceled at any time by notifying
   Uploadcare through the means of the Services dashboard.


7. RESPONSIBILITY OF SERVICES USERS AND CONTRIBUTORS

Uploadcare has not reviewed, and cannot review, all of the material, including
computer software, posted to the Services, and cannot therefore be responsible
for that material’s content, use or effects. By operating the Services,
Uploadcare does not represent or imply that it endorses the material there
posted, or that it believes such material to be accurate, useful or non-
harmful. You are responsible for taking precautions as necessary to protect
yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, trojan horses, and other
harmful or destructive content. The Services may contain content that is
offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable, as well as content containing
technical inaccuracies, typographical mistakes, and other errors. The Services
may also contain material that violates the privacy or publicity rights, or
infringes the intellectual property and other proprietary rights, of third
parties, or the downloading, copying or use of which is subject to additional
terms and conditions, stated or unstated. Uploadcare disclaims any
responsibility and you acknowledge and agree that Uploadcare shall not be
responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any harm, damage or loss
caused or alleged to be resulting from the use by users or contributors of the
Services, or from any downloading by those contributors of content there posted.


8. CONTENT POSTED ON OTHER RESOURCES

We have not reviewed, and cannot review, all of the material, including computer
software, made available through the websites, webpages, computer software,
applications, libraries, APIs or services (collectively, “Resources”) to which
we link, and that link to us. Uploadcare does not have any control over those
non-Uploadcare Resources, and is not responsible for their contents or their
use. By linking to a non-Uploadcare Resource, Uploadcare does not represent or
imply that it endorses such Resource. You are responsible for taking precautions
as necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms,
trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content present on
non-Uploadcare Resource. Uploadcare disclaims any responsibility and you
acknowledge and agree that Uploadcare shall not be responsible or liable,
directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by
or in connection with use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services
available on or through any such non-Uploadcare Resource.


9. GENERAL REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY

You represent and warrant that (i) your use of the Services will be in strict
accordance with the Uploadcare's Privacy Policy, with this Agreement and with
all applicable laws and regulations (including without limitation any local laws
or regulations in your country, state, city, or other governmental area,
regarding online conduct and acceptable content, and including all applicable
laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United
States or the country in which you reside) and (ii) your use of the Services
will not infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property rights of any
third party.


10. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT AND DMCA POLICY

As Uploadcare asks others to respect its intellectual property rights, it
respects the intellectual property rights of others. Please notify us if you
believe that material located on or linked to by Uploadcare violates your
copyright or if you are aware of any intellectual property right infringement by
a user of our Services. In compliance with Section 512 of the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”), we designate the following individual to
receive any notifications of an alleged infringement:

Copyright Agent

Uploadcare, Inc Attn: Uploadcare Designated Agent 18401 Collins Ave, Ste.
100-241, Sunny Isles Beach, FL, 33160 United States of America.
dmca@uploadcare.com

An effective notification should include:

 * A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of
   the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
 * Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if
   multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single
   notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
 * Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the
   subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which
   is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to
   locate the material;
 * Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining
   party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic
   mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
 * A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of
   the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright
   owner, its agent, or the law;
 * A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under
   penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf
   of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

A notification that does not comply with all the above-mentioned requirements
may not be valid. If you believe that a notice was wrongly filed against you,
under the DMCA, you may file a counter-notice to our designated individual with
the following information:

 * Your physical or electronic signature;
 * Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has
   been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was
   removed or access to it was disabled;
 * A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that
   the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or
   misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
 * Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to
   the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which
   we are located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any
   judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service
   of process from the person who provided notification or an agent of such
   person.

All limitations of access, suspensions, and terminations for cause shall be made
in Uploadcare’s sole discretion and Uploadcare shall not be liable to you or any
third party for any termination of your or any third party’s account or access
to the Services.

It is often difficult to determine if your intellectual property rights have
been violated or if the DMCA requirements have been met. You acknowledge that if
you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section, your DMCA
notice may not be valid. We may request additional information before we remove
any infringing material. If a dispute develops as to the correct owner of the
rights in question, we reserve the right to remove your content along with that
of the alleged infringer pending resolution of the matter. Uploadcare will
provide you with notice if your materials have been removed based on a
third-party complaint of alleged infringement of the third-party’s intellectual
property rights. We have a policy of terminating accounts of users who
repeatedly and intentionally infringe the intellectual property rights of
others.

IF YOU KNOWINGLY MISREPRESENT THAT MATERIAL IS OR IS NOT INFRINGING, YOU MAY BE
SUBJECT TO CIVIL PENALTIES. THESE INCLUDE MONETARY DAMAGES, COURT COSTS, AND
ATTORNEYS' FEES INCURRED BY UPLOADCARE, BY ANY COPYRIGHT OWNER, OR BY ANY
COPYRIGHT OWNER'S LICENSEE THAT IS INJURED AS A RESULT OF RELIANCE UPON YOUR
MISREPRESENTATION. YOU MAY ALSO BE SUBJECT TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION FOR PERJURY.
You agree we may provide your notice to the provider of the allegedly infringing
material. The obligations under this section shall survive any termination or
expiration of this Agreement or your use of the Services.


11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP

This Agreement does not transfer from Uploadcare to you any Uploadcare or third
party intellectual property, and all right, title and interest in and to such
property, including but not limited to the Services, will remain (as between the
parties) solely with Uploadcare. Uploadcare, Uploadcare Inc., Uploadcare.com,
the Uploadcare logo, and all other trademarks, service marks, graphics and logos
used in connection with Uploadcare, or the Services are trademarks or registered
trademarks of Uploadcare or Uploadcare’s licensors. Other trademarks, service
marks, graphics and logos used in connection with the Services may be the
trademarks of other third parties. Your use of the Services grants you no right
or license to reproduce or otherwise use any Uploadcare or third-party
trademarks. No rights are granted to you except as expressly set forth in the
Agreement.


12. ADVERTISEMENTS

Uploadcare reserves the right to display advertisements in your Uploadcare
display widgets unless you have purchased an ad-free Paid Services account.


13. MAILING LIST

You can unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time directly from the
unsubscribe link included in each electronic marketing message we send to you.
If you do so, we will promptly update our databases, and will take all
reasonable steps to meet your request at the earliest possible opportunity, but
we may continue to contact you to the extent necessary for the purposes of
providing our Services.

When providing Uploadcare with your personal information, the processing of your
personal information is governed by the Uploadcare's Privacy Policy. Uploadcare
reserves the right to contact you personally for the means of improving the
Services.


14. CHANGES

Uploadcare reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace any
part of this Agreement. Except as expressly set, such changes will be effective
after three days upon posting the new version of Agreement on
https://uploadcare.com/about/terms/. It is your responsibility to check this
https://uploadcare.com/about/terms/ periodically for changes. Your continued use
of or access to the Website or Services following the posting of any changes to
this Agreement constitutes acceptance of those changes. Uploadcare may also, in
the future, offer new services and/or features through the Website (including,
the release of new tools and resources). Such new features and/or services shall
be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.


15. TERMINATION

 * Termination Rights for Services — Excluding Paid or Discounted Services or
   Upgrades. Uploadcare may terminate your access to all or any part of the
   Services, at any time, at its own discretion, with or without notice,
   effective immediately. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if you wish to
   terminate this Agreement or your Uploadcare account (if you have one), you
   may simply discontinue using the Services.
 * Termination for Cause — Paid or Discounted Services or Upgrades. In addition
   to Uploadcare’s right to terminate this Agreement under the Agreement, you or
   Uploadcare may terminate the Agreement for cause (a) upon 30 days’ written
   notice to the other of a material breach if the breach remains uncured at the
   expiration of the notice period or (b) if the other party (i) becomes the
   subject of a proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or
   assignment for the benefit of creditors to the extent permitted by applicable
   laws or governmental regulations, (ii) goes out of business or (iii) ceases
   its operations; provided that, Uploadcare may terminate the Services
   immediately as part of a general shut down of our service.
 * Cancellation of Discounted Services. Except in the event of termination for
   cause as in section 15(b) above, Discounted Services are (a) non-cancellable;
   and (b) cannot be decreased for the first six (6) months of the Discount
   Subscription Period. In the event that you choose to cancel or decrease the
   Discounted service after six months but before the end of the Discount
   Subscription Period, you shall pay Uploadcare cancellation charges equal to
   the discount granted you by Uploadcare for committing to a Discount
   Subscription Period. You authorize us to collect the applicable cancellation
   charges (as well as any taxes) using any credit card or other payment
   mechanism we have on record for you. Cancellation of Discounted Services may
   be effected through your account settings page and is subject to the terms of
   this Agreement. All fees paid for commitments to a Discount Subscription
   Period are not refundable.
 * Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, your rights under
   these Agreement will automatically terminate. Accordingly, upon termination,
   your right to use the Services will immediately cease and you will lose all
   data related to your account. All fees that were due prior to the termination
   of the Agreement and Services shall remain due and become immediately
   payable. In such an event, you must cease all use of the Services. Our
   failure to insist upon or enforce your strict compliance with these Agreement
   will not constitute a waiver of any of our rights. All provisions of this
   Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive
   termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty
   disclaimers, indemnity, confidentiality, payment obligations and limitations
   of liability.


16. CONFIDENTIALITY

 * 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,
   given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure,
   should be understood to be confidential. Your Confidential Information
   includes the Content; Uploadcare’s Confidential Information includes the
   Services and any documentation related thereto; and Confidential Information
   of each party includes but is not limited to the terms and conditions of this
   Agreement and all Order Forms, including pricing, business and marketing
   plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and
   business processes disclosed by each party in connection with this Agreement.
   Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is at the
   time of disclosure, or later becomes, generally known to the public through
   no fault of Receiving Party; (b) was known to the Receiving Party with no
   obligation of confidentiality prior to disclosure by Disclosing Party, as
   proven by records of Receiving Party; (c) is disclosed to Receiving Party by
   a third party who did not directly or indirectly obtain the information
   subject to any confidentiality obligation; or (d) is at any time
   independently developed by Receiving Party without use of Disclosing Party’s
   Confidential Information as proven by records of Receiving Party.
 * Confidentiality Obligation. Except as provided in Section 16(c) below, the
   Receiving Party shall not disclose or otherwise make available any
   Confidential Information of Disclosing Party to anyone except those of its
   employees, directors, attorneys, agents and consultants who: (a) need to know
   the Confidential Information in connection with the purpose of the Agreement
   and (b) who have previously agreed to be bound by confidentiality obligations
   no less stringent than those in the Agreement. Each party shall (x) safeguard
   all Confidential Information of the other party with at least the same degree
   of care (but no less than reasonable care) as it uses to safeguard its own
   confidential information and (y) not use any Confidential Information of the
   other party for any purpose outside the scope of the Agreement. In the event
   of any breach or threatened breach by the Receiving Party of its obligations
   under this Section 16, the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek
   injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce such obligations.
 * Disclosure. If Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential
   Information of Disclosing Party, then to the extent legally permitted,
   Receiving Party shall provide Disclosing Party with prior notice of the
   compelled disclosure and reasonable assistance, at Disclosing Party’s cost,
   if Disclosing Party wishes to contest the compelled disclosure. Any compelled
   disclosure shall be limited to the extent required, and shall be subject to
   confidentiality protections to the extent practicable. If Receiving Party is
   compelled by law to disclose Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as
   part of a civil proceeding to which Disclosing Party is a party, and
   Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, Disclosing Party will
   reimburse Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing
   secure access to that Confidential Information.

Uploadcare’s Privacy Policy.

These Terms of Service incorporate the Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) when the

Laws. In addition, by using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are

unless User and Uploadcare Inc. separately enter into a HIPAA Business Associate
Agreement ("BAA"), which may be done by sending an inquiry to
sales@uploadcare.com.

We specifically disclaim any representation or warranty that the Services
without entering into a BAA, as offered, comply with HIPAA. Storing and
permitting access to “Protected Health Information” without entering in a BAA is
a material violation of this Agreement, and grounds for immediate account
termination.

other end users under license, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. §227.7201
through 48 C.F.R. §227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their
contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. §12.212, with respect to all other US Government
licensees and their contractors. If you are a government agency that has a need
for rights not granted under the Agreement, it must negotiate with Uploadcare to
determine if there are acceptable terms for granting those rights, and mutually
acceptable written terms specifically granting those rights must be included in
any applicable agreement.

to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in

act beyond the party’s reasonable control, including but not limited to, acts of
God; flood, fire or explosion; war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil
unrest; epidemic, pandemic or similar outbreak; embargoes or blockades in effect
on or after the date of this Agreement; governmental or regulatory action; or
national or regional emergency (each of the foregoing, a “Force Majeure Event”),
in each case, provided that the affected party uses diligent efforts to end the
failure or delay and minimize the effects of such Force Majeure Event.


25. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES

The parties expressly understand and agree that their relationship is that of
independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute one party as
an employee, agent, joint venture partner or servant of another. This Agreement
is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors

27. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise, this Agreement,
any access to or use of the Services will be governed by the laws of the state
of California, U.S.A., excluding its conflict of law provisions. The parties
agree that the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods
shall not apply to the Agreement nor to any dispute or transaction arising out
of the Agreement. Except for claims for injunctive or equitable relief or claims
regarding intellectual property rights (which may be brought in any competent
court without the posting of a bond), any dispute arising under this Agreement
shall be finally settled in accordance with the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules
of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service, Inc. (“JAMS”) by three
arbitrators appointed in accordance with such Rules. The arbitration shall take
place in Los Angeles, California, in the English language and the arbitral
decision may be enforced in any court. The prevailing party in any action or
proceeding to enforce this Agreement shall be entitled to costs and attorneys’
fees.

Waiver of Jury Trial and Class or Consolidated Actions. YOU WAIVE ANY
CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF
A JUDGE OR JURY. YOU ARE INSTEAD CHOOSING TO HAVE CLAIMS AND DISPUTES RESOLVED
BY ARBITRATION. IN ANY LITIGATION BETWEEN YOU AND UPLOADCARE OVER WHETHER TO
VACATE OR ENFORCE AN ARBITRATION AWARD, YOU WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL,
AND ELECT INSTEAD TO HAVE THE DISPUTE BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE. ALL CLAIMS AND
DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON
AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER
OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF
ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated
actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor Uploadcare is
entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a
court as set forth below.

In the event that the binding arbitration provision above is found not to apply
to you or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of your decision
to opt-out of the Agreement or a court order, you agree that any claim or
dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Uploadcare must be resolved
exclusively by a state or federal court located in Los Angeles, California. You
and Uploadcare agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts
located within Los Angeles, California for the purpose of litigating all such
claims or disputes.


28. MISCELLANEOUS

This Agreement and any applicable Order Form constitutes the entire agreement
between Uploadcare and you concerning the subject matter hereof, and they may
only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized executive of
Uploadcare, or by the posting by Uploadcare of a revised version. If any part of
this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that part will be construed to
reflect the parties’ original intent, and the remaining portions will remain in
full force and effect. The failure of Uploadcare to enforce any right or
provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of such right or
provision. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement
or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or
condition or any subsequent breach thereof. Subject to prior written consent of
Uploadcare, you may assign your rights under this Agreement to any party that
consents to, and agrees to be bound by, its terms and conditions; Uploadcare may
assign its rights under this Agreement without condition. This Agreement will be
binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and
permitted assigns.
