Definition of 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 that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information or the circumstances of its disclosure. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Slice’s Confidential Information includes the Platform, designs and processes used in the performance of the Professional Services, Consumer Data, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Order Forms (including pricing), the Online Ordering Platform, Slice POS and Beta Services as well as business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, business processes, development tools and processes, computer printouts, computer programs, design drawings and manuals, and Intellectual Property of any kind of nature, plans for future development and new product concepts, contemplated products, research, development and strategies disclosed by Slice.

Protection of Confidential Information. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each party covenants and agrees that it will not disclose to any person or entity any Confidential Information of the other party, except as necessary in the performance of the terms of this Agreement. Each party covenants and agrees that it will: (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party except as necessary to fulfill its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement; (ii) use the same degree of care to protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information (but not less than reasonable care under the circumstances); (iii) limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates' employees, service providers and contractors who need to access such Confidential Information for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent than those herein. Liability for damages due to disclosure of the Confidential Information by any such third party shall be with the party that disclosed the Confidential Information to the third party. For the avoidance of doubt, Slice may refer to Restaurant as a user of its Services and use the Restaurant’s Trademarks and basic facts about the Services purchased by Restaurant for the purpose of referencing Restaurant as a client of Slice on its website and in its sales presentations, marketing collateral, press releases, case studies and other similar marketing materials.
Compelled Disclosure. Notwithstanding any term of this Agreement to the contrary, Slice may respond to and comply with any writ of attachment, lien, UCC notice, levy, subpoena, warrant or other legal order or request (“Legal Process”) that Slice believes is valid and Slice may deliver or hold any funds or information (including any of Restaurant’s Confidential Information) as requested pursuant to such Legal Process. Slice may use its reasonable efforts to contact Restaurant regarding the validity of any alleged lien or other Legal Process but is not obligated to do so. Slice is not responsible for any losses, whether direct or indirect, that Restaurant may incur as a result of Slice’s response or compliance with a Legal Process, whether or not such Legal Process is valid, and Restaurant waives all claims against Slice for withholding any funds otherwise due to Restaurant if Slice reasonably determines such funds may be owed to a third party, as set forth in such Legal Process.
6. Fees and Payment Terms.
Fees. Restaurant shall pay Slice the fees set forth in the applicable Order Form or Sales Confirmation and such other fees that are specified in this Agreement (the “Fees”), subject to the possibility for Slice to revise such Fees from time to time in its sole discretion, upon written notice to Restaurant (email is sufficient). In the event that Slice implements a change to its Fees, Restaurant may terminate the Services subject to such revised Fees upon written notice to Slice within fourteen (14) days of receiving the Fee change notice from Slice. If Restaurant does not provide written notice of termination within the specified time frame, Restaurant will be deemed to have accepted the new Fees and will be subject to the revised Fees effective on the specified date. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Order Form, in addition to the Fees, Restaurant will be responsible for payment card fees and other processing fees, fines and penalties. Restaurant acknowledges and agrees that Slice may charge its own additional fees to Consumers in connection with Orders placed by Consumers using the Platform (e.g., Slice’s “Consumer Service Fee”).
Payment. Restaurant will pay the Fees in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the Order Form or as otherwise specified for a Service in the Product Specific Terms and Description or this Section 6. If Slice sends Restaurant an invoice for all or a portion of the Fees, Restaurant is responsible for timely paying all charges, fees, duties and taxes listed on such invoice. If Restaurant has signed up for automatic billing, Slice will charge Restaurant’s selected payment method for any Fees on the applicable payment date, including any applicable Taxes (as defined below). If Slice cannot charge Restaurant’s selected payment method for any reason (such as expiration or insufficient funds), Restaurant remains responsible for any uncollected amounts, and Slice will attempt to charge the payment method again as Restaurant may update its payment method information. In accordance with applicable law, Slice may update information regarding Restaurant’s selected payment method if provided such information by Restaurant’s financial institution. Slice may also elect to deduct, at Slice’s sole discretion, any amounts owed to Slice from the Grand Total and Restaurant hereby authorizes Slice to make any such deduction.
Subscription Fees. By signing or otherwise agreeing to an Order Form that includes subscription fees and providing Slice with a payment method for Restaurant, Restaurant is signing up to an auto-renewing subscription and Restaurant agrees to pay the subscription fees as described in the applicable Order Form and as set forth on the applicable invoice provided by Slice. If Slice terminates Restaurant’s subscription to any Services, Slice will give Restaurant a prorated refund based on the amount of time remaining in any pre-paid subscription; provided, however, that Slice will not be obligated to grant Restaurant a refund if Slice terminates Restaurant’s Account or Restaurant’s subscription because Slice determines, in its sole discretion, that Restaurant, its Authorized Users, Restaurant’s Consumers or any third party associated with Restaurant is engaged in: (i) any activity that may harm Slice, its systems, any Slice IP or any third-party systems; (ii) fraudulent or illegal activity or any other activity that could result in legal liability to Slice or any third party; or (iii) violation of the terms of this Agreement or any other legal agreement between Restaurant and Slice. Without limiting any other terms of this Agreement, (i) Slice may invoice Restaurant in advance for any subscription fees due to Slice, (ii) subscription fees may be drawn from the previous pay period funds accrued by Restaurant and, for new Restaurants, Slice may draw subscription fees from the next applicable pay period, and (iii) in the event the funds during the pay period are insufficient to cover subscription fees, Restaurant authorizes Slice to charge the payment card associated with Restaurant’s Account.
Grand Total Payouts. “Grand Total” means the amount received from Consumers for (i) Orders placed by Consumers with Restaurant on the Platform, including products, Taxes and any other fees and (ii) Sales Proceeds collected through Slice POS. The Grand Total shall be remitted to Restaurant, less the Fees retained by Slice, any fees charged by Slice directly to the Consumer (e.g., Consumer Service Fee) and any applicable payment card fees and other processing fees, fines and penalties assessed by the payment processor and/or the payment networks. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Slice may withhold the Grand Total for a period of at least thirty (30) days to settle any chargebacks, refunds or Fees.
Payment Processing. Slice or the Processor will act as Restaurant’s agent to collect and hold all monies received from Consumer on Restaurant’s behalf and to remit the funds that may be owed to Restaurant’s designated account, except for cash transactions. Restaurant hereby agrees that payment by a Consumer to the Processor or Slice of any and all monies owed to the Restaurant will constitute full and final settlement of such amounts. Slice or the Processor, not the Consumer, is solely liable to Restaurant if the Processor or Slice fails to remit payments received to Restaurant. Slice has entered into agreements with Adyen N.V. (“Adyen”), and Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”), which are third-party providers of payment processing and acquiring services (each a, “Processor”).

Payment processing services for Restaurants may be provided by Adyen. By signing up with Slice or continuing to operate as a Restaurant hereunder, you agree to Adyen’s Terms and Conditions.

All payments to Slice are payable in full without reduction for Taxes, except as expressly set forth herein.

Restaurant is responsible for payment of all Taxes, excluding taxes owed by Slice based on Slice’s income. If Slice has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Restaurant is responsible pursuant to this Section, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Restaurant, unless Restaurant provides Slice with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
Overdue Charges. If any invoiced amount is not received by Slice by the due date, then without limiting Slice’s rights or remedies, Slice may, in its sole discretion, (i) charge interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower and/or (ii) condition the future provision of Services on payment terms different than those specified in Section 6 herein and the applicable Order Form agreed between the parties.
Card on File. Slice may require Restaurant to have a payment card or other payment method associated with Restaurant’s Account. Restaurant authorizes Slice to charge all Fees to the payment method designated in Restaurant’s Account. If there is a problem charging the selected payment method, Slice may charge any other valid payment method associated with Restaurant’s Account. Slice reserves the right to request additional information from Restaurant if Slice has reason to believe, in its sole discretion, that a payment method may be fraudulent. If Restaurant’s payment card expires or is replaced by Restaurant’s issuing bank, the card network may provide Slice with updated card details associated with the same account. Slice may use these new details to prevent any interruption to Services. In addition, Slice may charge another stored payment card if Restaurant’s default payment is declined or no longer available to Slice.
Suspension of Services for Non-Payment. If any amount owed by Restaurant under this Agreement (including any Order Forms) are thirty (30) or more days overdue, Slice may, without limiting Slice’s other rights and remedies, suspend the provision of any Services to Restaurant and/or Restaurant’s access to the Platform until all such amounts are paid in full.
Refunds to Consumers; Sales Transaction Refunds and Chargebacks.
Refunds to Consumers. Slice reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to issue a refund to a Consumer, and in the event Slice elects to issue a refund, such election shall not obligate Slice to provide a corresponding reimbursement to Restaurant.
Sales Transaction Refunds. Restaurant agrees to pay Slice credit card processing fees and transactions fees as set forth in the Order Form. Restaurant understands that such processing and transaction fees are not refundable, even if Restaurant initiates a refund for a particular sales transaction. Where Restaurant initiates a refund for a particular sales transaction, Slice may deduct the amount of that refund from Restaurant’s Grand Total. Restaurant agrees that it shall not add a surcharge to transactions, except as expressly permitted by, and in full compliance with, applicable law and any relevant Card Schemes.

If Restaurant notifies Slice after thirty (30) days, Restaurant agrees Slice has no obligation to provide any adjustments or refunds with respect to the disputed Fees. Restaurant and Slice shall make good-faith attempts to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of Restaurant’s timely notice to Slice. If the dispute is not resolved within the 30-day period, Slice may, at its option, terminate this Agreement (in whole or in part) immediately or suspend Restaurant’s access to the Services. Restaurant agrees that all undisputed amounts shall remain due and payable as specified herein.
Functionality. Restaurant agrees that its subscription or other purchases are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Slice regarding future functionality or features. Notwithstanding any terms of this Agreement to the contrary, Slice may modify or update any aspects of the Services in its discretion. In the event any modification or update results in a material reduction by Slice of the scope, features or functionality of the Services set forth in the Order Form, Restaurant may, within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such modification or update, terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Slice. Restaurant’s failure to provide notice within such notice period is deemed to be Restaurant’s acceptance of Slice’s modification and/or update to the Services. The Services may contain or use third-party materials, products or services, and Slice reserves the right to replace, supplement or discontinue any such materials, products or services.
Early Termination Fee. If Slice permits Restaurant to terminate a Service prior to the end of the initial Order Form Service Term or any subsequent renewal term (other than due to Slice’s material breach pursuant to Section 8(c)), Restaurant shall immediately pay Slice (i) any amounts due and owing to Slice under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Hardware return fees as set forth in Annex 4) and (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate fees (calculated without any discounts) that would otherwise have been payable by Restaurant during the initial Order Form Service Term or relevant renewal term, as applicable, for all terminated Services (including, without limitation, any subscription Fees and Hardware Fees, and excluding per transaction fees) (collectively, the “Early Termination Fee”). The parties agree that it may be difficult to ascertain the actual damages that would result from such early termination by Restaurant and that the above amount is a reasonable estimate of the damages that would be incurred by Slice. The parties acknowledge that this provision is intended to be a genuine estimate of damages and not a penalty. Payment of this Early Termination Fee shall not limit Slice’s right to seek other remedies available under this Agreement or at law.

8. Term and Termination
Term of Agreement. This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues until all Order Forms hereunder have expired or been terminated by either party (the “Term”).
Service Periods. Slice will provide the specific Service identified in an Order Form, which may include the use of Hardware, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the Product Specific Terms and Descriptions during the Order Form Service Term specified in the applicable Order Form for such Service. After the initial Order Form Service Term ends, unless otherwise specified in the Product Specific Terms and Descriptions or the Order Form, the Order Form Service Term for each Service will automatically renew for consecutive periods of the same duration as the initial Order Form Service Term, unless either party provides the other with at least thirty (30) days’ written notice of its intent not to renew the then-current Order Form Service Term for such Service. If no Order Form Service Term is specified for a Service in the Order Form, unless otherwise specified in the Product Specific Terms and Descriptions, the initial Order Form Service Term for such Service will be one month, and such Order Form Service Term will renew for consecutive one-month periods unless either party provides the other with at least thirty (30) days’ written notice of its intent not to renew the then-current period. Notwithstanding this Section, sales of Goods shall not be subject to an Order Form Service Term unless expressly provided in the applicable Order Form or Sales Confirmation.
Termination. Slice may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party. In addition, either party may terminate this Agreement at any time for a material breach of this Agreement by the other party if such party fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of the breach. Further, Slice may suspend access to any portion of the Platform, remove some or all Restaurant Data or immediately terminate this Agreement (or any portion thereof), in Slice’s sole discretion, if Slice reasonably believes that Restaurant, its Authorized Users, Restaurant’s Consumers or any third party is engaged in: (i) any activity that may harm Slice, its systems, any Slice IP or any third-party systems; (ii) fraudulent or illegal activity or any other activity that could result in legal liability to Slice or any third party; or (iii) violation of the terms of this Agreement. In case of a suspension, any such suspension may continue until Slice has received satisfactory assurances that the activity causing the suspension has been cured, and it will not recur.
Effect of Termination. Except as explicitly provided herein, upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, all licenses granted pursuant to this Agreement will cease and Restaurant will immediately cease using the Platform, any Intellectual Property, Confidential Information or other materials licensed or otherwise made available by Slice, subject to any surviving rights that may be granted hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing does not restrict Slice’s rights to the Aggregated Data under Section 9(f) of the General Terms.
Portability and Deletion of Restaurant Data. Upon request by Restaurant made within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, Slice will make Restaurant Data available to Restaurant for export or download. After that thirty (30) day period, Slice will have no obligation to maintain Restaurant Data, and may thereafter delete or destroy all copies of Restaurant Data maintained by Slice. The foregoing does not restrict Slice’s rights to the Aggregated Data under Section 9(f) of the General Terms.
Survival. The terms of this Agreement (including the applicable Annex) which by their nature are intended to survive termination or expiration hereof shall survive, including the following provisions: Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, 8(d), 8(e), 8(f), 9, 10, 11,12(c), 12(e), and 13 of these General Terms; Sections 1(c), 3(b), and 5 of Annex 1 (Slice Platform Terms); Sections 1(c) and 1(d) of Annex 2 (Professional Services); Sections 2(a), 2(b), 2(c), 3, 4, 5, and 7 of Annex 3 (Slice POS Terms); Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 of Annex 4 (Hardware Terms); Sections 1(b)(i), 2(b), 3(b), 5(b), and 6(b) of Annex 5 (Product Specific Terms and Descriptions); Sections 2(b), 2(c), 2(d), 3, 4, 5(c), 6, 7, 8, and 9 of Annex 6 (Supplies Terms); and the terms of Annex 7 identified as surviving therein.
9. Proprietary Rights and Licenses.
Reservation of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement or the performance thereof will operate to grant Restaurant any right, title or interest, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise, in or to the Slice IP, other than the limited rights expressly granted to Restaurant hereunder. As between the parties, Slice exclusively owns, and reserves all rights, title, and interest in and to the Slice IP.
License to Restaurant Data. Restaurant grants to Slice and its Affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to access, use, modify, translate, process, copy, distribute, perform, export and display Restaurant Data (i) to provide, maintain, and update the Services; (ii) to prevent or address service, security, support or technical issues; or (iii) as otherwise authorized by Restaurant. Restaurant is solely responsible for Restaurant Data, including, without limitation, its accuracy, quality, content and legality, the means by which it is acquired, and any transfer of Restaurant Data in connection with or outside of the Services by Restaurant, any of its Authorized Users, or any third party authorized by Restaurant. Without limiting the foregoing, Restaurant represents and warrants that it has secured all rights in and to Restaurant Data from its Authorized Users or third parties as may be necessary to grant the license to Restaurant Data, and for Slice to perform the Services using Restaurant Data. As part of this representation and guarantee, Restaurant represents and warrants that it either owns the copyright or other Intellectual Property rights to any images or other Restaurant Data provided to Slice to perform the Services, or Restaurant has acquired all necessary worldwide, fully paid-up license rights for Slice to perform the Services using the Restaurant Data, including but not limited to rights to copy, transmit and display on the Platform or on other website or advertising any images provided by Restaurant or used on the Restaurant Website as may be requested pursuant to an Order Form. Restaurant will provide Slice written proof of ownership or sufficient license rights to Restaurant Data upon demand.
License to Feedback. Restaurant grants to Slice and its Affiliates a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to use and incorporate into its products and services any suggestion, enhancement request, recommendation, correction or other feedback provided by Restaurant or Authorized Users relating to any of the Services, Beta Services or any other Slice product or service without obligation or restriction of any kind.
License to Restaurant’s Trademarks and Restaurant Marketing Materials. Restaurant grants to Slice and its Affiliates a worldwide, royalty-free license to use and display any of Restaurant’s Trademarks and all Restaurant Marketing Materials in connection with Slice’s performance of the Services, to disclose that Slice provides services to Restaurant, to market and promote Restaurant’s products and other promotional activities undertaken by Slice relating to the Platform. Restaurant is solely responsible for obtaining all necessary rights, permissions, consents and licenses necessary for Slice to use third-party materials contained in Restaurant Marketing Materials in accordance with this Agreement.
License to Slice’s Trademarks. During the Term, Slice grants to Restaurant a limited, non-exclusive license to use Slice’s Trademarks solely in connection with any co-branded marketing materials developed pursuant to Professional Services or Goods provided by or on behalf of Slice to Restaurant under this Agreement. All goodwill generated from Restaurant’s use of Slice’s Trademarks as set forth herein shall inure to the benefit of Slice.
Aggregated Data. Restaurant agrees that Slice may collect, create, use and disclose Aggregated Data, or de-identified data for its business purposes, including, without limitation, industry analysis, benchmarking, analytics, and marketing. Without limiting the foregoing, Slice may aggregate, anonymize, or de-identify Register Consumer Data and Consumer Data such that it no longer constitutes Register Consumer Data or Consumer Data and process such information for its own lawful business purposes, including without limitation for purposes of creating data insights and analytics.
10. Limitation of Liability.
Limitation of Liability. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL SLICE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY RESTAURANT HEREUNDER IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.
Exclusion of Consequential and Related Damages. NEITHER SLICE NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR SUBCONTRACTORS WILL BE LIABLE TO RESTAURANT OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, INCOME, DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE SERVICES, WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF SLICE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Basis of the Bargain. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
11. Indemnification.
Indemnification by Slice. Slice will defend Restaurant against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against Restaurant by a third party alleging that the Platform infringes or misappropriates such third party's Intellectual Property rights (a “Claim Against Restaurant”), and will indemnify Restaurant from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Restaurant as a result of a Claim Against Restaurant, or for amounts paid by Restaurant under a court-approved settlement of a Claim Against Restaurant, provided Restaurant (i) promptly gives Slice written notice of the Claim Against Restaurant, (ii) gives Slice sole control of the defense (including selection of attorneys) and settlement of the Claim Against Restaurant (except that Slice may not settle any Claim Against Restaurant unless the settlement releases Restaurant of all liability) and (iii) gives Slice necessary assistance, at Slice’s reasonable expense (not to include payment of wages, travel, or lodging costs for Restaurant employees or officers). The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply to the extent a Claim Against Restaurant arises from use of Restaurant Data, Restaurant’s breach of this Agreement, misuse of the Platform or Restaurant Website, modification of the Platform or Restaurant Website, or Restaurant’s failure to use any enhancements, modifications or updates to the Platform or Services (including with any Hardware) that have been made available by Slice. If Slice receives information about an alleged infringement or misappropriation claim related to the Platform or Services, Slice may, in its discretion and at no additional cost to Restaurant: (1) modify the Platform or Services to attempt to ameliorate the alleged infringement or misappropriation; (2) obtain a license for Restaurant’s continued use of the Platform or Services in accordance with this Agreement; or (3) terminate Restaurant’s subscriptions for the Services upon 30 days' written notice and refund Restaurant any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of the terminated Order Form. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, if Slice provides any of the remedies set forth in this Section 11(a), Restaurant agrees that such action satisfies Slice’s obligations under this Agreement, and Restaurant is not eligible for further relief. This Section 11(a) states Slice’s sole liability to, and the Restaurant’s exclusive remedy against Slice for type of claim described in this Section 11(a).
Indemnification by Restaurant. Restaurant will indemnify, defend (at Slice’s option) and hold Slice and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, successors and assigns harmless from and against any damage, cost, loss, liability and expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs) incurred in connection with any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against Slice by a third party arising out of or alleging that Restaurant Data infringes or misappropriates such third party's Intellectual Property rights or violates applicable law, or any claims by a third party or by Slice in connection with (i) Restaurant’s breach of this Agreement or of any applicable law, (ii) illness or any harm associated with the provision, handling, delivery and/or consumption of any items in an Order, (iii) any response by Slice to any Legal Process, (iv) Restaurant’s violation of any third-party right, including any right of publicity, confidentiality, property or privacy right, (v) any dispute between Restaurant and a third party, (vi) any activities under Restaurant’s Account, (vii) Restaurant’s use of any Consumer Data and/or Register Consumer Data; (viii) negligent or willful misconduct of Restaurant or any of its officers, directors, employees, contractors, consultants, service providers or agents; (ix) Restaurant’s failure to maintain reasonable security in connection with the use of Slice POS; and (x) any claim that Restaurant is in breach of the terms of any agreement entered into between it and any Processor, as well as any fines, fees, penalties and chargebacks for which Slice is charged as a result of Restaurant’s entering into such agreement or with respect to any claims by a Processor (each a "Claim Against Slice"). Restaurant will not settle, compromise, or otherwise enter into any agreement regarding the disposition of any Claim Against Slice without the prior written consent and approval of Slice. Slice reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by Restaurant (without limiting Restaurant’s indemnification obligations), and Restaurant agrees to cooperate with Slice’s defense of that claim. If the defense or settlement is assumed by Restaurant, Slice may at any time thereafter elect to take over control of the defense and settlement of the claim.
12. Beta Services.
Beta Services. Slice may, but does not have the obligation to, offer Restaurant to try Beta Services at no additional charge. Restaurant may accept or decline any such trial in Restaurant’s sole discretion. Beta Services will be designated as beta, pilot, limited release, developer preview, non-production, evaluation or by a description of similar import. Beta Services are for evaluation purposes only, and not for production use. They are not considered “Services” under this Agreement, are not supported and may be subject to additional terms.
Term and Availability of Beta Services. Unless otherwise stated in an Order Form, or in the specific terms applicable to such Beta Services, any Beta Services trial period will expire upon the earlier of (i) one (1) year from the trial start date, (ii) the termination by either party of its provision or use, as applicable, of the Beta Services, or (iii) the date that a version of the Beta Services becomes generally available. Slice reserves the right to modify or terminate the Beta Services, or to limit access to the Beta Services, at any time, in its sole discretion, with or without notice. Except as otherwise set forth in an Order Form, Restaurant may discontinue its use of the Beta Services at any time upon notice to Slice.
Data. The content, data and information made available to Slice in connection with the Beta Services shall be considered Register Consumer Data, Consumer Data and/or Restaurant Data, as applicable, and all related terms and conditions shall apply. Further, any data that is derived or aggregated, in deidentified form, regarding Restaurant’s use of the Beta Services shall be considered Aggregated Data under this Agreement and all related terms and conditions shall apply.
Access and Use Restrictions. Restaurant agrees to (a) test the Beta Services and cooperate with Slice in evaluating the Beta Services, (b) access and use the Beta Services only for evaluation and testing purposes and (c) provide Slice with feedback as reasonably requested by Slice from time to time. Restaurant shall not: (a) make the Beta Services available to, or use the Beta Services for the benefit of, anyone other than Restaurant; (b) use the Beta Services for any fraudulent or illegal purposes or in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, impair or otherwise interfere with Slice making the Beta Services available to its customers generally; or (c) access or use the Beta Services in order to build a competitive product or service.
No Liability or Warranties. Slice will have no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with the Beta Services, and Restaurant accepts all risk associated with its use of the Beta Services. THE BETA SERVICES AND ANY OTHER MATERIALS PROVIDED BY SLICE IN CONNECTION WITH THE BETA SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,”AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SLICE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING, OR USAGE OF TRADE.
13. Miscellaneous.
Notices. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all notices under this Agreement will be in writing and if intended for Restaurant shall be directed to Restaurant’s address set forth on the Order Form or such other address provided by Restaurant to Slice pursuant to this Notice provision, and if intended for Slice shall be directed to the attention of Restaurant’s partner success manager at [email protected] with a copy to Slice’s General Counsel at 349 Fifth Avenue, 6th Floor, New York, New York 10016, email: [email protected] or such other address provided by Slice to Restaurant. Such notice will be deemed to have been duly given (i) when received, if personally delivered; (ii) the first business day after sending by email; (iii) the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service; and (iv) upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
Amendments. This Agreement may be modified, amended or updated by Slice from time to time by posting updated terms and conditions. Slice shall provide Restaurant with reasonable notice, including via transmission of such updated terms via electronic means and in connection with any Order Forms, of any material updates to this Agreement. Restaurant’s continued use of the Services on or after the date the updated version of this Agreement becomes effective constitutes Restaurant’s acceptance of the updated version of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Order Form may be amended to add or subtract Services set forth therein pursuant to the oral agreement of Restaurant and Slice provided that Slice shall not be bound by any such oral agreement unless Slice provides Restaurant with written notice (which may be pursuant to email) of such addition, subtraction or change following such oral agreement (each, a “Service Amendment”). Restaurant agrees that the Services subject to any Service Amendment shall continue to be subject to this Agreement.
Relationship of the Parties. Slice is performing the Services as an independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement will be construed as establishing an employment, agency, partnership or joint venture relationship between Restaurant and Slice or any Slice employees or other persons performing Slice’s obligations hereunder. Except as expressly set forth herein, neither party will have the authority to act on behalf of or bind the other party in any manner.
Force Majeure. Except for obligations to pay money, neither party shall be liable hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations on account of events beyond the reasonable control of such party, which may include hosting provider or service provider failure or delay, denial-of-service attacks, strikes, shortages, riots, fires, acts of God, war, disease, terrorism and governmental action (each, a “Force Majeure Event”).
Waiver. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that right. No waiver by either party of any default, misrepresentation or covenant in this Agreement, whether intentional or not, will be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or covenant under this Agreement or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent occurrence.
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the provision shall be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.
Assignment. Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however that Slice may assign this Agreement in its entirety (including all Order Forms), without Restaurant’s consent, to an Affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. Restaurant shall promptly notify Slice of any merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of its assets and provide all necessary documentation requested by Slice evidencing such transfer. Upon Slice’s consent (email is sufficient), Restaurant may transfer this Agreement and all of its rights and obligations hereunder to a third party and shall execute all documentation reasonably requested by Slice to effectuate such transfer. Restaurant shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Slice and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, successors and assigns from and against any damage, cost, loss, liability and expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of such assignment or transfer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment or transfer of this Agreement made in contravention of this provision shall be null and void and of no effect.
Communications With Slice. Slice may now or in the future contact Restaurant for various purposes in connection with the Services. By entering into this Agreement, Restaurant grants its prior express consent to receive all communications, including automated phone calls and text messages, prerecorded phone messages, facsimile messages and electronic mail, from or on behalf of Slice, its Affiliates and its or their employees, agents and contractors (including third-party service providers), for any purpose. Message and data rates may apply. Restaurant represents that it is the owner or authorized user of the phone number(s) associated with Restaurant’s Account, and that the person executing this Agreement on behalf of Restaurant is authorized to approve any applicable charges. This consent shall be irrevocable and shall continue in force so long as Restaurant continues to be subject to this Agreement or continues to use Slice’s Services, unless applicable law requires such consent to be revocable. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as an acknowledgment that Slice is required under applicable law to obtain consent to send any such communications. Restaurant understands and agrees that the calls placed by Slice may be automatically dialed. Restaurant consents to receiving such calls and agrees they will not be considered “unsolicited” calls or telemarketing calls for purposes of applicable state or federal laws. Restaurant agrees that Slice may record and maintain interactions with Restaurant personnel, including by recording phone calls, in accordance with applicable law. Further, Slice and its service providers may receive and store data about text messages exchanged, including the date and time of the text message, the phone number, and the content of the text message.
Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any principles of conflict of laws that would lead to the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Any legal action or proceeding arising under this Agreement will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in New York County, New York, and the parties irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue therein.
Entire Agreement and Order of Precedence. This Agreement is the entire agreement between Restaurant and Slice regarding Restaurant’s use of the Services and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between an applicable Order Form, and these Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions will govern unless the Order Form expressly provides that it is intended to govern in the event of such conflict or inconsistency. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement prevails over any of Restaurant’s general terms and conditions of purchase regardless of whether or when Restaurant has submitted its purchase order or such terms. Fulfillment of Restaurant’s order for Goods or other Services does not constitute acceptance of any of Restaurant’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend this Agreement.
Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and do not define, limit, or otherwise affect the meaning of any provisions hereof.
ANNEX 1
SLICE PLATFORM TERMS
These Slice Platform Terms (“Slice Platform Terms”) govern Restaurant’s access to and use of the Platform and related Services that Slice provides to Restaurant.
1. Platform Access and Use
License to Platform. During the applicable Order Form Service Term, and subject to Restaurant’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Order Form, Slice grants Restaurant a limited, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to access and use, solely for Restaurant’s internal business purposes, the portions of the Platform that Slice has agreed pursuant to the applicable Order Form to make available to Restaurant excluding Slice POS .
Access to Slice’s Administrative Dashboard. To the extent deemed applicable by Slice, Slice will provide Restaurant with web and mobile access to an administrative dashboard. For purposes of this Agreement, the administrative dashboard shall be deemed a part of the Platform, and all access and usage rights and restrictions set forth in Section 1(c) of this Annex 1 with respect to the Platform shall apply to the administrative dashboard. Restaurant shall keep all Restaurant Data current and accurate by making updates on the administrative dashboard as frequently as needed.
Use Restrictions.
Restaurant shall not: (A) make the Platform available to, or use the Platform for the benefit of, anyone other than Restaurant; (B) sell, resell, license, sublicense, distribute, rent or lease the Platform; (C) use the Platform for any fraudulent or illegal purposes or in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, impair or otherwise interfere with Slice making the Platform available to its customers generally; (D) store or transmit infringing, libelous, obscene, immoral, vulgar or otherwise unlawful or tortious material through the Platform; (E) store, transmit, display or otherwise use malicious code, or material that violates the rights of any third party including, without limitation, Intellectual Property, proprietary, privacy or similar rights through the Platform; (F) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Platform or content contained therein; (G) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Platform or its related systems or networks; (H) permit direct or indirect access to or use of the Platform in a way that circumvents a contractual usage limit, or otherwise in any manner not expressly authorized in this Agreement; (I) copy the Platform or its content or any part, feature, function or user interface thereof; (J) access the Platform or its content in order to build a competitive product or service; (K) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code or underlying structure, ideas or algorithms of the Platform or any part thereof; (L) modify, translate, or otherwise create derivative works of the Platform or its content; (M) pharm, pretext, spider, crawl, or scrape the Platform or (N) allow the removal, alteration, covering, or obscuring of any of Slice’s Trademarks that appear on the Platform or its content.

Unless otherwise specified in an Order Form for the Platform and related Services, and subject to Restaurant’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Slice will provide Restaurant with reasonable support services for the Platform by calling Slice at such customer support number as made available by Slice to Restaurant. Further, Slice may designate a dedicated partner success manager for Restaurant upon acceptance of this Agreement (“Shop Support”).
Restaurant agrees to reasonably cooperate with Slice to troubleshoot any malfunctioning Hardware, including by telephonic support or in-person support. If Slice determines, in its reasonable discretion, that the Hardware should be replaced, Slice will ship replacement Hardware to Restaurant, subject to Restaurant’s compliance with the return procedure communicated by Slice and the terms of Annex 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Slice may in its discretion not provide Shop Support with respect to Hardware (including Hardware) not running the most-current version of the Platform, where Restaurant has failed to use any enhancements, modifications or updates to the Platform or Services that Slice has made available or where Restaurant has interfered with Slice’s ability to perform device management as contemplated in Section 4(b) of the General Terms. Separately and in addition to Shop Support, Slice will provide reasonable customer support services to Consumers solely with respect to its Online Ordering Platform pursuant to and in accordance with Slice’s Terms of Service at https://slicelife.com/pages/terms-of-service#termsofuse.
Slice may perform maintenance on or provide updates to the Platform, which may result in service interruptions, delays, or errors. Slice will not be liable for any such interruptions, delays, or errors, including without limitation, lost business as a result of such interruptions, delays or errors. Slice may, at its discretion, release enhancements, improvements or other updates to any software. If Slice notifies Restaurant that such update requires an installation, Restaurant shall integrate and install such update into Restaurant’s systems within the earlier of (i) fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of such notice or (ii) such other date as indicated by Slice. Failure to install any updates in a timely fashion may impair the functionality of the Platform. Slice shall have no liability for Restaurant’s failure to properly install the most current version of any software or any update, and Slice shall have no obligation to provide support or services for any outdated versions. Certain software can automatically install, download and/or deploy updated and/or new components, which may include a new version of the software itself. Restaurant shall not, in any event or in any manner, interrupt, delay or otherwise impede the updating process.
3. Restaurant Responsibilities.
Order Processing. Restaurant agrees to promptly provide Slice with information Slice reasonably requires to provide the Platform and related Services. Without limitation, Restaurant shall provide to Slice and maintain the accuracy of (i) the items offered by Restaurant to Consumers; (ii) the prices of items offered by Restaurant to Consumers, including any applicable fees or taxes; (iii) the descriptions of any items offered by Restaurant to Consumers; and (iv) Restaurant’s hours of operation, including changes due to holidays or other events (collectively, the “Specifications”). The Specifications must be at least as favorable to the Consumer as that which is available for Restaurant’s standard takeout menu or as offered by Restaurant to any Consumer either directly or through any other third-party ordering, pickup or delivery service. Restaurant is solely responsible for accuracy of the Specifications. Restaurant further agrees it will accept and timely honor all Orders placed by Consumers on the Online Ordering Platform, and Restaurant is solely responsible to Consumers for any delay or errors that may occur in connection with any Orders. If Restaurant collects tips from Consumers through the Platform, Restaurant represents and warrants it will distribute such tips in accordance with applicable law.

Restaurant shall implement and maintain reasonable and appropriate physical, technical and organizational safeguards to protect Consumer Data and Register Consumer Data that it accesses against Security Incidents. Restaurant will promptly (i.e., within 48 hours) notify Slice in writing in the event any such Consumer Data or Register Consumer Data is subject to a Security Incident, and such notice shall include, at a minimum: (i) a description of the Security Incident, including the types of information impacted by the Security Incident; (ii) steps Restaurant has taken and will take to mitigate the impact of the Security Incident and remediate the causes of the Security Incident; and (iii) any other information reasonably requested by Slice. Restaurant shall provide Slice with reasonable assistance in responding to such Security Incident, including with respect to notifying impacted Consumers and governmental authorities.
Consumer Data—Online Ordering Platform. As between Slice and Restaurant, all data and information collected by or on behalf of Slice through the Online Ordering Platform or related Services, including, without limitation, usage data, performance data and Consumer Data, are and shall remain the exclusive property of Slice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Slice may, in its sole discretion, provide Consumer Data to Restaurant for purposes of providing products and/or services requested by Consumers (including fulfilling Orders), and/or where the Consumer uses or directs Slice to intentionally disclose the Consumer Data to, or interact with, Restaurant. Restaurant shall only use Consumer Data for the purposes for which it was disclosed by Slice, and the parties agree that any such disclosure is not intended to be a “sale” of Consumer Data, as such term is defined under applicable privacy and data security laws. In connection with its access and use of Consumer Data, Restaurant will at all times: (i) comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, applicable privacy and data security laws (including providing the same level of data protection as required of Slice under applicable privacy and data security laws), and Slice’s privacy policy available at https://slicelife.com/pages/privacy; and (ii) limit access to Authorized Users and third parties who have a need to know such Consumer Data and are obligated (in the case of third parties, contractually) to maintain the privacy, security and confidentiality of such Consumer Data.

The Hardware shall remain personal property, regardless of whether or not it is affixed to any real property at Restaurant’s location. Restaurant shall at all times protect and defend, at Restaurant’s own cost and expense, the title and interest of Slice from and against all claims, liens and legal processes of any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, creditor or other successor of Restaurant and keep the Hardware free and clear from all such claims, liens, processes and any other encumbrance.

The Hardware shall be located in the Restaurant’s facility, and neither Restaurant, nor its employees shall remove, or permit (by act or omission) the Hardware to be removed from the Restaurant’s facility without the prior written consent of Slice. Slice will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the estimated delivery dates specified in the applicable Order Form, but Restaurant hereby acknowledges that such dates are estimates only. Further, Slice reserves the right to cancel or delay shipment of the Hardware if Restaurant fails to make any payment due to Slice, or otherwise fails to comply with this Agreement or the terms and conditions of any other agreement between Restaurant and Slice.

3. Hardware Fee. In exchange for the provision of the Hardware during the applicable Order Form Service Term, Restaurant will pay Slice the non-refundable monthly fee set forth in the applicable Order Form (“Hardware Fee”). Restaurant acknowledges that should these Hardware Terms and/or any Order Form be terminated before the end of the Order Form Service Term of any applicable Order Form, Restaurant will not be refunded for any Hardware Fee already paid to Slice pursuant to the applicable Order Form.
4. Return. Upon termination of the applicable Order Form or this Agreement for any reason, or as otherwise requested by Slice, Restaurant shall promptly return the Hardware to Slice, or such third party as designated by Slice, in good working order (at Restaurant’s expense), by delivering the Hardware in a manner (packed properly and in accordance with Slice’s instructions) and by such date as Slice shall specify. Slice may charge Restaurant, subject to these Hardware Terms, a restocking fee of up to $100.00 with respect to each item of returned Hardware (the “Restocking Fee”). If Restaurant fails to return any item of Hardware to Slice in good working order by such date as requested by Slice, then Slice further reserves the right to charge Restaurant a fee of up to $349.00 with respect to each such item of Hardware (“Failure to Return Fee”). Slice may, in its sole discretion, automatically authorize Restaurant’s credit card, bank account or other approved facility previously provided to Slice for the amount of the Restocking Fee and/or the Failure to Return Fee, as applicable, or otherwise deduct such amount from the Merchant Deposit Account, Sales Proceeds or Grand Total, as applicable. Restaurant shall ensure that the Hardware will be returned to Slice free and clear of all claims, liens, processes and any other encumbrances.
5. Damage or Loss of Hardware. Restaurant shall take reasonable care of any Hardware, and Restaurant is solely responsible for any loss of the Hardware or any damage to the Hardware beyond normal wear and tear. If Slice determines in its reasonable discretion that Restaurant’s violation of this obligation caused damage to any item of Hardware, then Slice may charge Restaurant a $100.00 refurbishment fee with respect to each such item of Hardware or such other amount up to $349.00 per item as Slice deems appropriate given the condition of such Hardware (the “Damaged Hardware Fee”). Restaurant shall notify Slice immediately if it learns that Hardware has been lost or stolen. If any item of Hardware is lost or stolen, then Slice may charge Restaurant a fee of up to $349.00 with respect to each such item of Hardware (“Lost Hardware Fee”).

Restaurant is responsible for all costs of shipping in connection with any repair or replacement of Hardware. For the avoidance of doubt, Slice may charge Restaurant multiple fees pursuant to these Hardware Terms and charging a fee under these Hardware Terms does not preclude charging additional fees under these Hardware Terms, or any other applicable section of this Agreement, as determined appropriate by Slice.
6. Hardware Related Limitations of Liability.
IN ADDITION TO THE DISCLAIMERS SET FORTH IN OTHER ANNEXES OF THIS AGREEMENT, SLICE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE HARDWARE AND RELATED INSTALLATION SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
SLICE’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO RESTAURANT IN CONNECTION WITH THE HARDWARE AND RELATED INSTALLATION SERVICES WILL BE LIMITED TO AND WILL NOT EXCEED THE ACTUAL AMOUNTS PAID TO SLICE BY RESTAURANT FOR THE HARDWARE. IN NO EVENT WILL SLICE BE LIABLE TO RESTAURANT FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS OR PROFITS) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY HARDWARE OR RELATED INSTALLATION SERVICES, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM ANY CLAIM BASED UPON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT SLICE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THESE LIMITATIONS WILL SURVIVE AND APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 5 (HARDWARE RELATED LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY) IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
The following provisions 7 to 10 of these Hardware Terms only apply with respect to Hardware acquired by Restaurant, other than for use in connection with the Online Order Platform, from Slice prior to the Hardware Measurement Date.

Slice will ship the Designated Hardware FOB, Restaurant’s point of shipment. Shipments will be made to the address identified by Restaurant in the applicable Order Form. Unless specified in an accepted purchase order, Slice will select the mode of delivery and the carrier. Title and all risk of loss of or damage to the Designated Hardware will pass to Restaurant upon delivery by Slice to the carrier. Slice will use its commercially reasonable efforts to meet the delivery dates specified in the applicable Order Form, but Slice reserves the right to cancel or delay shipment of the Designated Hardware if Restaurant fails to make any payment as provided in this Agreement, or otherwise fails to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Slice will not be liable to Restaurant or to any other party for any delay in the delivery of the Designated Hardware. Restaurant’s use of the Designated Hardware is governed by the terms of this Agreement and any other instructions that Slice may communicate to you or any restaurant customer from time to time. Restaurant is solely responsible for its use of the Designated Hardware not expressly contemplated in this Agreement.
8. Limited Hardware Warranty for Designated Hardware.
Slice warrants that for six (6) months after the installation date (“Warranty Period”), the Designated Hardware will perform in accordance with the specifications provided together with the Designated Hardware. As Restaurant’s sole and exclusive remedy and Slice’s entire liability for any breach of this limited warranty, Slice will provide Restaurant with the support services for Designated Hardware described in these Hardware Terms, or in the applicable Order Form, as applicable. If Slice determines, in its sole discretion, that the Designated Hardware initially provided must be replaced during the Warranty Period, Slice will communicate to Restaurant the procedure to be followed for the return of the original Designated Hardware. Unless otherwise provided by Slice, Restaurant shall return the malfunctioning Designated Hardware to Slice within thirty (30) days of Restaurant’s receipt of the replacement Designated Hardware. If Restaurant does not return the malfunctioning Designated Hardware in accordance with these requirements, Restaurant agrees that Slice may either charge or invoice Restaurant for the replacement value of the applicable Designated Hardware, and Restaurant agrees to pay for such costs within thirty (30) days of the date of Slice’s invoice to Restaurant for these costs. Only Designated Hardware returned in accordance with such procedure will be accepted by Slice. Except for damages to Designated Hardware as described in these Hardware Terms that are not caused by Restaurant (including its personnel or agents), the risk of damage or loss of Designated Hardware remains solely with Restaurant until Slice receives Restaurant’s return. Designated Hardware should be securely packaged during the return process, such as in the original packaging Restaurant received. Slice is not responsible for any damage to Designated Hardware during the return shipping process. Replacement Hardware may consist of both new and used components and is warranted for the unexpired portion of the original Warranty Period. All replacement Hardware becomes the property of Restaurant, unless Slice expressly specifies that such replacement Hardware is provided on a temporary basis while the initial Designated Hardware is being repaired. Slice will not be responsible for Restaurant’s or any third party’s software, firmware, information or data contained in or stored on any Designated Hardware returned to Slice, whether under warranty or not.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Restaurant shall take reasonable care of any and all Designated Hardware (including replacement Hardware), and Restaurant is solely responsible for any damage to the Designated Hardware (including replacement Hardware) beyond normal wear and tear. If Slice determines in its reasonable discretion that Restaurant’s violation of this obligation caused damage to Designated Hardware and/or replacement Hardware, Restaurant agrees that Slice may either charge or invoice Restaurant for all costs associated with the repair or replacement of the damaged Hardware, and Restaurant agrees to pay for such costs within thirty (30) days of the date of Slice’s invoice to Restaurant for these costs.
Restaurant shall notify Slice immediately if it learns that Designated Hardware has been lost or stolen. If Designated Hardware has been lost or stolen, Restaurant agrees that Slice may charge or invoice Restaurant for all costs associated with the replacement of the lost Designated Hardware, and Restaurant agrees to pay for such costs within thirty (30) days of the date of Slice’s invoice to Restaurant for these costs.
9. Early Termination and Return of Designated Hardware.
Account termination requests within thirty (30) days of installation of the Designated Hardware are eligible for a full refund of the fees paid by Restaurant for the Designated Hardware, provided all Designated Hardware is returned within thirty (30) days of account termination, in working resalable condition, as reasonably determined by Slice. Restaurant must contact Slice at [email protected] to receive a return label for such return. Failure to use the supplied return label may lead to loss of the Designated Hardware, for which Restaurant will be solely responsible.
For any account terminations that occur within twelve (12) months of installation of the Designated Hardware, Restaurant agrees to pay the original invoiced MSRP hardware balance for Designated Hardware in full within thirty (30) days of termination. For any account terminations that occur more than twelve (12) months after installation of the Designated Hardware, Restaurant must pay any balance on discounted hardware package within thirty (30) days of account termination.
As is the case for damaged Designated Hardware, the risk of damage or loss of such Designated Hardware remains solely with Restaurant until Slice receives Restaurant’s return. Designated Hardware should be securely packaged during the return process, such as in the original packaging Restaurant received. Slice is not responsible for any damage to Designated Hardware during the return shipping process.
10. Designated Hardware Related Limitations of Liability.
THE LIMITED WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 9 (DESIGNATED HARDWARE RELATED LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY) ARE IN LIEU OF, AND SLICE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, IN ADDITION TO THE DISCLAIMERS IN THE ANNEXES OF THIS AGREEMENT, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE DESIGNATED HARDWARE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
SLICE’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO RESTAURANT IN CONNECTION WITH THE DESIGNATED HARDWARE WILL BE LIMITED TO AND WILL NOT EXCEED THE ACTUAL AMOUNTS PAID TO SLICE BY RESTAURANT FOR THE DESIGNATED HARDWARE. IN NO EVENT WILL SLICE BE LIABLE TO RESTAURANT FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS OR PROFITS) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY DESIGNATED HARDWARE, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM ANY CLAIM BASED UPON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT SLICE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THESE LIMITATIONS WILL SURVIVE AND APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 9 (DESIGNATED HARDWARE RELATED LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY) IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

ACQUIRING ADDENDUM - WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. (USA)
Introduction: Scope and applicability. This Acquiring Addendum is applicable to Merchants: (1) who are an entity established in the United States; (2) who entered into a Merchant Agreement with Adyen N.V. for the provision of payment services (the “Merchant Agreement”); and (3) who have card transactions acquired via Adyen (the “Sponsored Acquiring Services”) under the acquiring licenses of WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. (“Member”), a member of various card schemes such as Visa and MasterCard (the “Card Schemes”). This Acquiring Addendum constitutes a separate legally binding contract between Merchant, Member and Adyen applicable to the Sponsored Acquiring Services. As between Adyen and Merchant, the terms of the Merchant Agreement also apply to the Sponsored Acquiring Services, provided that where a conflict exists between the Merchant Agreement and this Acquiring Addendum, the terms of this Acquiring Addendum will take precedence where it concerns the Sponsored Acquiring Services. Merchant acknowledges that Member’s obligations in connection with the Sponsored Acquiring Services are limited solely to acting, under Member’s acquiring license, as an acquirer of record for Merchant’s payment transactions on Adyen’s behalf. All other obligations relating to the provision of the Sponsored Acquiring Services (other than those of Merchant) are the responsibility of Adyen. Merchant agrees that, for the Sponsored Acquiring Services for which Member will be the acquirer of record in the United States, Member is a party to the Merchant Agreement for that purpose and for that part of the Merchant Agreement only. This Acquiring Addendum is entered into by the parties to satisfy the requirement of the owners of the Card Schemes and Member that Merchants wishing to accept card payments via such Card Schemes commit to comply with the terms prescribed by the Card Schemes regarding the processing of payments via the Card Schemes (the “Scheme Rules”).
Agreement to comply with Scheme Rules. Merchant hereby agrees to comply with applicable laws, the applicable Scheme Rules as set by the Card Schemes and as modified by the Card Schemes from time-to-time, with respect to the use of the Sponsored Acquiring Services by Merchant. Merchant is advised and agrees that pursuant to the Scheme Rules, among other requirements: (1) transactions may be made subject to chargebacks (leading to an obligation for Merchant to return funds received for such transaction); (2) settlement of funds for processed transactions may be delayed or withheld; (3) the Sponsored Acquiring Services may be suspended or terminated; and/or (4) fines for violations of applicable law or Scheme Rules may be payable. Further information on applicable Scheme Rules is published on the websites of the Card Schemes (usa.visa.com/merchants/merchant-support/international-operating-regulations.jsp and www.mastercard.com/us/merchant/support/rules.html) and further guidance on Scheme Rules is made available by Member via Adyen to Merchant. However, Merchant acknowledges and agrees that it shall be subject to the requirements of applicable law and Scheme Rules and, regardless of whether Member has advised Merchant through Adyen or Merchant is otherwise aware of such requirements.
Settlement via Member funds received from the Card Schemes for payment transactions acquired via the Sponsored Acquiring Services will be received from the Card Schemes and credited to bank accounts held by Member and paid out to Merchant directly from such bank accounts. Merchant hereby authorises Adyen to, and authorises Member to allow Adyen to, initiate debits or credits to such accounts related to the funds resulting from settlement of Merchant’s payment transactions acquired via the Sponsored Acquiring Services. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Merchant hereby authorises Adyen to, and authorises Member to allow Adyen to, initiate debits to such accounts or otherwise withhold amounts from such funds (including for refunds, adjustments, chargebacks, fines, fees, other amounts due to Adyen or Member, any applicable reserve amounts, and any other obligation of Merchant or as otherwise provided under the Merchant Agreement or this Acquiring Addendum), pursuant to the terms of the Merchant Agreement or this Acquiring Addendum. No fees are payable by Merchant to Member hereunder. The fees and other charges payable by Merchant for use of the Sponsored Acquiring Services are fully set out in the Merchant Agreement and are payable by Merchant to Adyen pursuant to the terms thereof.
Term and termination. This Acquiring Addendum is effective upon the date Merchant signed the Merchant Agreement to which this Acquiring Addendum is attached or the date Merchant otherwise agrees to this Acquiring Addendum, and continues so long as Merchant uses the Sponsored Acquiring Services via the services of Adyen. This Acquiring Addendum will further terminate automatically upon any termination or expiration of the Merchant Agreement. This Acquiring Addendum may be terminated by Member or Adyen with immediate effect at any time by giving writing notice in case of: (i) a material breach of any of Merchant obligations under this Acquiring Addendum, the Merchant Agreement, applicable law and/or the Scheme Rules, or (ii) the termination of the agreement between Adyen and Member relating to the Sponsored Acquiring Services. Upon termination of this Acquiring Addendum, those terms which by their nature are intended to survive termination (including indemnification obligations and limitations of liability) shall survive.
Liability Limitation and Indemnification. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MEMBER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO MERCHANT UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY. ADYEN ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROVISION OF THE SPONSORED ACQUIRING SERVICES TO THE MERCHANT PER THE TERMS AND LIABILITY LIMITATIONS SET OUT IN THE MERCHANT AGREEMENT. MEMBER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO MERCHANT FOR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF ADYEN TOWARD MERCHANT OR ADYEN’S PERFORMANCE OF THE SPONSORED ACQUIRING SERVICES. MERCHANT AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD MEMBER HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES AND EXPENSES RESULTING FROM AND/OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF ANY OBLIGATION BY MERCHANT OF THE TERMS OF THIS ACQUIRING ADDENDUM, THE MERCHANT AGREEMENT, APPLICABLE LAW AND/OR THE SCHEME RULES, EXPRESSLY INCLUDING ANY FINE OR OTHER CLAIM MADE AGAINST MEMBER BY A CARD SCHEME AS A RESULT OF SUCH BREACH.
Changes to Acquiring Addendum. Member or Adyen may amend this Acquiring Addendum at any time by Adyen providing written notice to Merchant where Member or Adyen in its/their reasonable discretion deems the amendment to be necessary to ensure compliance with applicable laws, and/or Scheme Rules. The revised version will be effective 30 days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise specified in such notice. Merchant will be considered to expressly consent to all changes to the Acquiring Addendum if Merchant continues to use the Sponsored Acquiring Services after the effective date of the change.
Waiver. The failure of a party to assert any of its rights under this Acquiring Addendum, including the right to terminate this Acquiring Addendum in the event of breach or default by the other party, will not be deemed to constitute a waiver by that party of its right to enforce each and every provision of this Acquiring Addendum in accordance with its terms.
Relationship between the Parties. No agency, partnership, joint venture or employment relationship is created between Adyen, Member and/or Merchant by way of this Acquiring Addendum. In the performance of their respective obligations hereunder, the parties are, and will be, independent contractors.
Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Acquiring Addendum will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision hereof will be prohibited by or determined to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Acquiring Addendum.
