Proprietary Information of Yojee includes non-public information regarding features, functionality and performance of the Service. Proprietary Information of Customer includes non-public data provided by Customer to Yojee to enable the provision of the Services (“Customer Data”). The Receiving Party agrees: (i) to take reasonable precautions to protect such Proprietary Information, and (ii) not to use (except in performance of the Services or as otherwise permitted herein) or divulge to any third person any such Proprietary Information. The Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any information after two (2) years following the disclosure thereof or any information that the Receiving Party can document (a) is or becomes generally available to the public, or (b) was in its possession or known by its prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party, or (c) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party, or (d) was independently developed without use of any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party or (e) is required to be disclosed by law.

4.1 From time to time, Yojee may make Beta Offerings available to you at no charge. You may choose to try such Beta Offerings or not in your sole discretion. Yojee may discontinue Beta Offerings at any time in our sole discretion and may decide not to make a Beta Offering generally available. For avoidance of doubt, such Beta Offerings are not “Services” under these Terms. “Beta Offerings” means separate, stand-alone services, accessible apart from the currently available Services or may be a feature or functionality for existing Services that are identified as alpha, beta, non-GA, limited release, developer preview, or any such similarly designated services, products, features, and documentation offered by Yojee.
4.2 Beta Offerings by their very nature are meant for testing, which means that they may not work as expected, may have errors, or may cause unintended behaviour. You understand that we’re not responsible for any issues or problems caused by the Beta Offerings. We have no obligation to provide any kind of support for the Beta Offerings.
4.3 The Beta Services are made available to you for the purposes of evaluation and feedback without any compensation or reimbursement of any kind from Yojee. You acknowledge the importance of communication between you and Yojee during your use of the Beta Services and agree to receive related correspondence and updates from us. In the event you request to opt-out from such communications, your participation in the Beta Program will be terminated, and your use of the applicable Beta Services will likewise be discontinued. As part of using the Beta Services, you will be asked to provide feedback regarding your use of the Beta Services. You acknowledge that Yojee owns any feedback provided, and you hereby grant to us, if for any reason it is further needed, a perpetual, non-revocable, royalty-free worldwide license to use and/or incorporate such feedback into any of our products or services at any time at our sole discretion. If we choose to publish such feedback, we will either do so in a way that does not identify you or seek your consent in the event we do wish to identify you. We may also monitor how you use the Beta Services and use that information to improve the Beta Services or our other products and services.
5. PAYMENT OF FEES
5.1 Customer will pay Yojee the then applicable fees described in the Subscription Order or Statement of Work (if applicable) for the Services in accordance with the terms therein (the “Fees”). If Customer’s use of the Services requires the payment of additional fees (per the terms of this Agreement), Customer shall be billed for such usage and Customer agrees to pay the additional fees in the manner provided herein. Yojee reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and Fees at any time upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Customer (which may be sent by email). If Customer believes that Yojee has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Yojee no later than 60 days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to Yojee’s customer support department. Yojee will not be required to refund the Fee under any circumstances.
5.2 Invoices. Yojee may choose to bill through an invoice, in which case, full payment for invoices issued in any given month must be received by Yojee as per the payment terms stated on the Subscription Order or Statement of Work (if applicable). Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection and may result in immediate termination of Service.
5.3 Taxes. All Fees are exclusive of taxes, levies, and duties, and Customer will be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, and duties, including value-added tax (VAT), digital services tax, withholding tax, or similar taxes. Yojee may calculate taxes and add to the invoice as applicable, based on the billing information Customer provides.
5.4. Effect of Non-payment. Yojee may suspend Customer’s access to the Services without advanced notice if Customer fails to pay any invoice in full when due. In addition to such other rights as Yojee may have, including without limitation pursuant to Section 6 below, Customer shall continue to pay fees during any suspension. Customer will reimburse any costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, collection agent fees and reasonable legal fees) incurred by Yojee to collect any overdue amount. Yojee may accept any check or payment in any amount without prejudice to its right to recover the balance or to pursue any other right or remedy. Customer may not withhold amounts due to Yojee under this Agreement for any reason or offset them against amounts that Customer asserts are owed to Customer by Yojee.
6. TERM AND TERMINATION
6.1 Subject to earlier termination as provided below, this Agreement is for the Initial Service Term as specified in the SAAS Services Order Form, and shall be automatically renewed for additional periods of the same duration as the Initial Service Term (collectively, the “Term”), unless either party requests termination at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current term.
6.2 In addition to any other remedies it may have, either party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ notice (or without notice in the case of non-payment), if the other party materially breaches any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement. Customer will pay in full for the Services up to and including the last day on which the Services are provided. All sections of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, accrued rights to payment, confidentiality obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
