CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS READ THIS AGREEMENT, UNDERSTANDS IT, AND AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS, AND THAT THE PERSON SIGNING ON ITS BEHALF HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO DO SO. THE PERSON EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT ON CUSTOMER’S BEHALF REPRESENTS THAT HE OR SHE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO BIND CUSTOMER TO THIS AGREEMENT.
This Master Service Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered between Lokalise, Inc., a Delaware company with its registered address at: 3500 South DuPont Highway, Suite BZ-101, Dover, DE 19901, USA (“Lokalise”) and the customer identified in the applicable Customer Order (“Customer”) and is effective as of the date of the Customer Order (“Effective Date”). By accepting the Customer Order in any manner, the Customer accepts this Agreement and other related Contracts. This Agreement governs access to, and use of, the Lokalise Platform and/or the Services by the Customer and its Authorized Users. Certain capitalized terms are defined in Annex A “Definitions” and others are defined contextually in this Agreement.
1. Access to the platform
1.1. Subscription. During the Term and provided that this Agreement has not been terminated by either Party and in consideration of the payment of the Fees, the Customer and the Authorised Users may access the Platform and use the Services pursuant and subject to the terms of the outstanding Subscription. The Subscription will be purchased based on the terms and conditions as set forth in the Customer Order.
1.2. Availability of the Services. The Services will be available at the Platform during 99.50% of the committed uptime within a measurable period. Lokalise will continuously monitor capacity and performance levels for its service environments to procure that the Platform is available to the Customer during the committed uptime. Monitoring reports will be available at the Website: https://status.lokalise.com/.
1.3. Workspace Administration. The Customer will assign and expressly authorize an Authorized User or Authorized Users as its agent to manage the Team’s Workspace (the “Team Owner”). The Team Owner may configure administration settings, assign access and use authorization, request different or additional Services, may provide access to a Team’s Workspace, enable or disable third party integrations, manage permissions, retention and export settings, transfer and re-assign roles on the Team’s Workspace.
1.4. Platform Revisions. Lokalise may from time to time, in its sole discretion, develop and release certain revisions, upgrades, and updates for new features, bug fixes, and enhancements on the Platform (the “Updates”) available to the Customer for free or at an extra cost. All free Updates will be uploaded/installed automatically without a specific notice sent to the Customer. When Lokalise introduces paid Updates with greater functionality and/or performance and a higher price than agreed in the Customer Order, the Customer will be able to access the paid Updates by paying extra Fees. If any released Updates materially reduce features or functionality provided pursuant to the Customer Order, the Customer may terminate the applicable Customer Order and/or this Agreement, by sending to Lokalise a written termination notice at least twenty (20) calendar days in advance.
1.5. Third-Party Products. The Platform may include links to other third-party applications, websites, products an,d services that could be integrated with Lokalise’s Services (the “Integrated Products”).

Lokalise does not provide Customer with any rights or remedies regarding such Third-Party Products. Lokalise further makes no express or implied warranties regarding the information, material, products, or services that are contained on or accessible through any Integrated Products. Any access or use of an Integrated Product is solely at the Customer’s own risk, directly governed between the Customer and the applicable third-party provider.
2. Payment terms
2.1. Fees’ Basis. The Customer shall pay Lokalise the Fees for the Subscription as specified in the outstanding Customer Order. The Fees will be based on the functionality, any limitations on the number of Authorised Users, service capacity, data volume and features of the Platform available for the Customer, duration of the Subscription, and any other capacity limitations, as may be stated in the Customer Order.
2.2. Payment of Fees. The Customer will be invoiced the Fees on an annual basis before the commencement of each billing cycle as specified in the Customer Order. The Customer will pay the Fees in U.S. dollars within thirty (30) calendar days from the receipt of a Lokalise’s invoice unless otherwise set forth in the Customer Order.
Annual Plans automatically renew every year on the same day of the month that Customer originally signed up for the Subscription (“Renewal date”), unless canceled ninety (90) days before. If a Customer cancels the Subscription before the upcoming Renewal date, said Customer will have access to the Platform until the end of the paid Subscription.
Annual charges will be paid on each Renewal date, unless otherwise is agreed in Order Form. In this case, fees will be charged on the dates specified in the Order Form.
2.3. Payments for Translation Orders. Lokalise provides customers with the opportunity to carry out translations of Customer Data by using translation vendors available on the Platform. The Customer should define the scope of work and choose the languages that require a translation in order to receive an instant quote from the selected translation vendor. The Customer might pay the quote immediately via the credit card linked to the Account. An alternative option is to top up the Account with Team Credit and use this to pay for translation orders. In order to top up the Team Credit, the Customer could contact a dedicated manager via email set forth in the outstanding Customer Order and specify the amount that needs to be topped up in its Account. Lokalise will issue an invoice for the specified amount and will top up the Customer's Team Credit once the invoice is paid. The services provided by the translation vendors shall be qualified as the Integrated Products for the purposes of this Agreement.

The Customer and Lokalise shall use reasonable commercial diligence to resolve disputes in a timely manner. The Customer may withhold any payment of any charge or amount disputed in good faith by the Customer pending resolution of such dispute, whereas Lokalise shall continue performing its obligations in accordance with this Agreement. All portions of the disputed amount determined to be owed to the Customer shall be refunded within ten (10) calendar days of the dispute resolution.
2.5. Downgrades. The Customer shall not be eligible for any refunds or credits during the existing or any future billing cycle if it decides to decrease or not use the full Platform’s functionality and service capacity available per the effective then Subscription.
2.6. Taxes. All the Fees are exclusive of, and the Customer is responsible for, applicable federal or national, state or provincial, or local sales, use, excise, export, or other applicable taxes, except for taxes on the net income of Lokalise. Should any payment for the Services be subject to withholding tax by any government, the Customer will reimburse Lokalise for said withholding tax in full. Lokalise may add any such taxes to the applicable Fees.
2.7. Auto-Renewal. If You are a Customer with a credit card billing plan you have the right to cancel the Subscription before the Renewal date through the Team Settings page not later than ninety (90) days prior to annual subscription unless null and void.

10.1. Exclusion of Consequential Damages. In no event will a party be liable to the other party for any consequential, indirect, special, incidental, punitive damages as well as any direct damages in the form of lost profits arising out of or related to this Agreement, even if the party knew or should have known that such damages were possible and even if direct damages are not a satisfactory remedy.
10.2. Dollar Cap. Each party’s maximum aggregate liability to the other party for damages of any kind that the other party suffers in connection with this Agreement is limited to the amount of the Fees paid by the Customer to Lokalise in the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of the last event giving rise to the liability.

13.3. Privacy Policy Review. Lokalise may revise the Privacy Policy at any time by posting a new version of either at the Website, and such a new version will become effective on the date it is posted. The Customer reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and any Customer Order within thirty (30) calendar days of Lokalise posting a revised Privacy Policy if the updated Privacy Policy is unacceptable for the Customer.
13.4. Sub-contractors.
