Exhibit A
1. Provider Services and Retailer Obligations
1.1. Provider agrees to provide the Services agreed to by the Retailer. Provider undertakes to provide the Services on a commercially reasonable basis. Provider reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make any changes to the Services that it deems necessary or useful to: (i) maintain or enhance: (1) the quality or delivery of the Services to its customers; (2) the competitive strength of or market for the Services; or (3) the Services’ cost efficiency or performance; or (ii) to comply with applicable Law. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Law” means any statute, law, ordinance, regulation, rule, code, order, constitution, treaty, common law, judgment, decree, or other requirements of any federal, state, local, or foreign government or any arbitrator, court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction.
1.2. Subject to and conditioned on Retailer’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the Retailer Obligations, Provider hereby grants Retailer a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Services (including any Provider Components (as defined below) incorporated therein) during the Term, solely for use by Authorized Users (as defined below) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such use is limited to Retailer’s internal business purposes. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Authorized User(s)” shall mean Retailer’s employees, consultants, contractors, and agents (i) who are authorized by Retailer to access and use the Services under the rights granted to Retailer pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) for whom access to the Services has been purchased hereunder.
1.3. Retailer acknowledges that Provider, prior to or during the course of this Agreement, has or may develop (resulting from the efforts of Provider, Retailer, or any other person, working together or alone) tools, ideas, concepts, processes, methodologies, software, and know-how (“Provider Components”), some of which Provider may use in the performance of Services. The parties agree that Provider shall retain exclusive ownership of all Provider Components and shall be entitled to use any and all Provider Components in connection with the performance of Services for other parties.
1.4. Provider may, directly or indirectly, disable, suspend, terminate, or otherwise deny Retailer’s, any Authorized User’s, or any other Person’s access to or use of all or any part of the Services, without incurring any resulting obligation or liability, if: (i) Provider believes, in its reasonable discretion, that Retailer or any Authorized User has failed to comply with any term of this Agreement or accessed or used the Services beyond the scope of the rights granted or for a purpose not authorized under this Agreement or (ii) this Agreement expires or is terminated. This Section 1.5 does not limit any of Provider’s other rights or remedies, whether at law, in equity, or under this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means an individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability entity, governmental authority, unincorporated organization, trust, association, or other entity.
1.5. Following the successful placement of an order, the Retailer will receive a notification that an order has been placed (an “Order”), including the product(s), price, tax, delivery fee, and user information (e.g., name, address, and phone number). Once the Retailer accepts the Order, a confirmation email/notification will be sent to the customer with the product(s) ordered, store, price, tax, tip, delivery fee, and Retailer information (e.g., name, address, and phone number). The customer will then be charged by the Retailer and the Retailer will prepare and deliver product(s) in accordance with the Retailer Obligations to the address provided by the customer.

Provider shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Retailer and its officers, contractors and employees (“Retailer Indemnitee(s)”) from and against any loss, damages, deficiencies, claims, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Losses”) incurred by Retailer resulting from a claim, action, lawsuit, demand, arbitration, litigation, or other proceeding (each, an “Action”) by a third party (other than an affiliate of Retailer) alleging that Retailer Indemnitee’s or an Authorized User’s use of the Services (excluding Deliverables) in accordance with this Agreement infringes or misappropriates such third party’s U.S. Intellectual Property Rights. The foregoing obligation does not apply to the extent that such alleged infringement arises from: (i) Retailer Data or Third Party Software; (ii) access to or use of the Services in combination with any hardware, system, software, network, or other materials or services not provided by Provider or specified for Retailer’s use; (iii) modification of the Services other than: (1) by or on behalf of Provider or (2) with Provider’s written approval and in accordance with Provider’s written specification; (iv) failure to timely implement any modifications, upgrades, replacements, or enhancements made available to Retailer by or on behalf of Provider; or (v) an act, omission, or other matter described in Section 8.2 below, whether or not the same results in any Action against or Losses by a Provider Indemnitee. If any Services are, or in Provider’s opinion, are likely to become, the subject of an Action alleging infringement of Intellectual Property Rights through no fault of Retailer, Provider shall at its expense and option: (i) procure the right for Retailer to continue using the affected Services; (ii) replace the affected Services with a non-infringing equivalent; (iii) modify the affected Services to make such Services non-infringing; or (iv) accept return of the affected Services and refund to Retailer the fees paid for such Services less a reasonable amount for Retailer’s use of the Services up to the time of return.
8.2.Retailer Indemnification. Retailer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Provider and its officers, contractors and employees (“Provider Indemnitee(s)”) from and against any Losses incurred by a Provider Indemnitee resulting from an Action by a third party to the extent that such Losses arise out of or result from: (i) Retailer Data; (ii) any other materials or information (including any documents, data, specifications, software, content, or technology) provided by or on behalf of Retailer or any Authorized User, including Provider’s compliance with any specifications or directions provided by or on behalf of Retailer or any Authorized User; (iii) Retailer’s or any Authorized User’s misuse of the Services or any of the circumstances set forth in Section 8.1 subsections (ii) – (iv); (iv) allegations of facts that, if true, would constitute Retailer’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations under this Agreement; (v) negligence or more culpable act or omission (including recklessness or willful misconduct) by Retailer or any Authorized User; or (vi) any bodily injury, death of any person, or damage to real or tangible personal property caused by the negligent or more culpable acts or omissions of Retailer or any Authorized User, including reckless or willful misconduct.
8.3.Indemnification Procedures. Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any Action for which such party believes it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, as the case may be. The party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall cooperate with the other party (the “Indemnitor”) at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitor shall promptly assume control of the defense and shall employ counsel of its choice to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing. The Indemnitor shall not settle any Action on any terms or in any manner that adversely affects the rights of any Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent. If the Indemnitor fails or refuses to assume control of the defense of such Action, the Indemnitee shall have the right, but no obligation, to defend against such Action, including settling such Action after giving notice to the Indemnitor, in each case in such manner and on such terms as the Indemnitee may deem appropriate. The Indemnitee’s failure to perform any obligations under this Section 8.3 will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Section 8, except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.
8.4.SOLE REMEDY. THIS SECTION 8 SETS FORTH RETAILER’S SOLE REMEDIES AND PROVIDER’S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THE SERVICES AND PROVIDER MATERIALS OR ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT INFRINGES, MISAPPROPRIATES, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATES ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

10.5.Force Majeure. In no event will Provider be liable or responsible to Retailer, or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond Provider’s reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”), including (i) acts of God; (ii) flood, fire, earthquake, epidemics, or explosion; (iii) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest; (iv) government order or Law; (v) embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; (vi) national or regional emergency; (vii) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns, or other industrial disturbances; and (viii) shortage of adequate power.
