(formerly NuORDER, Inc.) and its Affiliates (as defined below) (collectively referred to herein as “NuORDER”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) on a worldwide basis. Any new features, functions, or tools added to the Services will also be governed by these Connect Terms. “Affiliate” means any entity that (i) directly or indirectly is Controlled by or Controls such party, or (ii) is under common Control with such party. “Control” means the direct or indirect ownership of more than 50% of the shares or interests entitled to vote for the directors thereof or the equivalent, for so long as such entitlement subsists or equivalent power over management thereof.

For the purposes of these Connect Terms, the “Services” means the services made available by NuORDER on the NuORDER platform to its Connect Brand customers as specified in any Order Form (as defined below) including, without limitation, the Payment Services (where applicable). “Order Form” means collectively the order documents representing the subscription to the Services (and any subsequent modifications to the subscription agreed to between the parties in writing from time to time) that, upon execution, are incorporated in and made a part of these Connect Terms from time to time.

    For clarity, if you have a paid subscription for Services provided by NuORDER, your Master Service Agreement, Brand Subscription Agreement, Order Form, the NuORDER Terms and Conditions, or any other written agreement between you and NuORDER (as applicable) supersedes these Connect Terms, and these Connect Terms shall not apply to you.

  1. NuORDER Service. In order to use the Services you must register an account with NuORDER. Subject to these Connect Terms, NuORDER hereby grants to you a non-exclusive, revocable, non-sublicensable, non-transferable limited license to access and use the Services set forth in your Order Form, solely for your internal business purposes, and not for sublicensing, resale or to provide competing services (e.g. an online wholesale platform as a service) to third parties.

    You are responsible for all actions taken under your account credentials, regardless of whether such actions are taken by you, your employees or a third party. You will safeguard all account credentials in your possession or under your control. You will use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, the Services, and notify Company promptly of any such unauthorized use. NuORDER is not liable for any loss or damage arising from any unauthorized use of your account. You are also responsible for providing, at your own expense, all network access to the Services.

  1. Fees and Payments. NuORDER shall charge you the commission in the Order Form (“Commission”) on each order of your products placed by retailers through the NuORDER platform.

You will provide a written list of any disputed fees within ten (10) days of receipt of any invoice. The parties will cooperate in good faith to resolve any disputed parts of any invoice.

    Late payments on any invoice will accrue interest at a rate of 1 ½% per month, or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower. All Commissions payable in connection with these Terms are exclusive of, and you shall pay, all sales, use, excise and other taxes that may be levied upon you with respect to the receipt of the Services. NuORDER shall be entitled to revise the Commission by providing you with at least sixty (60) days prior written notice. You must maintain a credit card on file for payment of all invoices.
