This Authorized User Agreement (this "Agreement") is a binding agreement between Next Street Financial LLC a New York for-profit corporation with its principal place of business at 99 Wall Street, #1210, New York, New York 10005 ("NXST") and the person or legal entity ("User") accessing NXST's proprietary cloud based small business service marketplace ("Platform").
BY USING THE PLATFORM OR CLICKING THE "CREATE ACCOUNT" BUTTON, USER: (A) ACKNOWLEDGES READING AND UNDERSTANDING THIS AGREEMENT; (B) ACCEPTING AND AGREEING TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT; AND (C) REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT IS EITHER (I) A SMALL BUSINESS; OR (II) A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROVIDER; SUCH AS A CORPORATION OR OTHER SIMILAR LEGAL ENTITY HAVING THE RIGHT, POWER, AND AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. NXST PROVIDES ACCESS TO THE "PLATFORM" AND ASSOCIATED SERVICE OFFERINGS (THE "SERVICES") (THE SERVICES AND PLATFORM ARE COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS "THE OFFERING") SOLELY ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND ON THE CONDITION THAT USER ACCEPTS AND COMPLIES WITH THEM.
NXST WILL NOT AND DOES NOT GRANT ANY RIGHTS TO THE OFFERING AND USER MUST NOT CLICK THE "CREATE ACCOUNT" BUTTON TO ACCESS OR USE THE OFFERING IF USER: A) DOES NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT; B) IS NOT OF LEGAL AGE TO FORM A BINDING CONTRACT WITH NXST; C) DOES NOT HAVE AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT; OR D) IS PROHIBITED FROM ACCESSING OR USING THE OFFERING BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Subject to and conditioned on User's strict compliance with the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, NXST grants User a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited right to access and use the Platform during the Term of this Agreement in the form in which it is made available by NXST solely for User's internal business operations in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and any additional terms of use that may be made available by NXST from time to time. The right to access and use the Offering as described in this Section 1 is exercisable solely by and through User and/or User's officers, employees, contractors, agents, and representatives (the "Authorized Users"). No rights or licenses are granted to User except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
User will not, and will ensure that its Authorized Users do not:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, NXST may temporarily suspend User's or Authorized User's access to any portion or all of the Platform if: (i) NXST reasonably determines that (A) there is a threat or attack on any of the Offering; (B) User's or any Authorized User's use of the Offering disrupts or poses a security risk to the Offering or to any other NXST customer or vendor; (C) User or any Authorized User is using the Offering for fraudulent or illegal activities; (D) subject to applicable law, User has ceased to continue its business in the ordinary course, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar disposition of its assets, or become the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or similar proceeding; (E) User failed to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement with NXST; or (F) NXST's provision of the Offering to User or any Authorized User is prohibited by applicable law; or (ii) a third-party has suspended or terminated NXST's access to or use of its services or products required to enable User to access the Offering (a "Service Suspension"). NXST will provide electronic notice at least five (5) business days in advance of any planned Service Suspension to User and to provide updates regarding resumption of access to the Platform following any Service Suspension as well as resume providing access to the Platform as soon as reasonably possible after the event giving rise to the Service Suspension is cured. NXST will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of profits or reputational damage), or any other consequences that User or any Authorized User may incur as a result of a Service Suspension.
The Offering permits access to a variety of products, content, services, information, websites, and other materials that are owned and/or offered by third parties that are incorporated into or accessible through the Offering ("Third-Party Products"). User acknowledges that NXST is not the offeror or provider of the Third-Party Products, and that the third parties that own and/or offer the Third-Party Products are not agents for, are not authorized to represent, and do not represent, NXST. For purposes of this Agreement, such Third-Party Products are subject to their own terms and conditions presented to User for acceptance within the Offering by website link or otherwise. In some cases, NXST may receive a referral fee or other compensation from the offeror or provider of Third-Party Products that User purchases. Although the Offering may suggest Third-Party Products based on information and materials provided by User, User is solely responsible for determining whether any Third-Party Products are appropriate for their needs, and engages with the Third-Party Products at their own risk. The availability of referral fees or compensation to NXST will have no effect on the Offering's selection or order of Third-Party Products suggested to User, which are based solely on the information and materials provided by the User. If User does not agree to abide by the applicable terms for any such Third-Party Products, then User should not interact with or use such Third-Party Products, or disclose any information or materials to their respective owners and offerors. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, NXST accepts no responsibility for the Third-Party Products, or the use thereof.
During the course of the development and improvement of the Offering, User may use and test the Offering and, if requested, provide feedback to NXST regarding the Offering (the "Feedback"). Feedback includes User testing and providing information about their general experience with respect to the Offering and its content, including the availability of, and interaction with, Third-Party Products. User hereby assigns all of its right, title and interest in and to any intellectual property in any Feedback provided to NXST. NXST is free to use such Feedback irrespective of any other obligation or limitation between NXST and User governing such Feedback. User will execute, and cause its Authorized Users to execute, documentation to evidence or perfect NXST's rights, title and interest in the Feedback as may be requested by NXST from time to time.
User may provide to NXST (whether or not through the Offering) information, data, materials and documents to enable User's use of the Offering (the "User Data"). User represents and warrants that it owns or licenses and is responsible for the User Data, and that NXST's possession or use of the User Data will not infringe any third-party intellectual property, privacy, or statutory rights, breach any term of this Agreement, or violate applicable law. Subject to the NXST privacy policy (available at https://demo.nextstreet.com/legal-documents/privacy-policy), User hereby grants NXST a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and sublicensable license to use, access, copy, download, reproduce, modify, disseminate, and otherwise use and display User Data and to create derivative works based on User Data, in each case and as necessary in connection with the development, improvement, provision of, support of, and commercialization and exploitation of, the Offering, including, but not limited to, for general commercial purposes. NXST's license to User Data is subject to NXST's obligations as set forth in Section 6. User further represents and warrants that it has the right and authority to grant NXST the rights to User Data as set forth in this Section 3.2.
User acknowledges and agrees that NXST owns the Offering, any and all Feedback and all intellectual property rights therein. User will not take any actions inconsistent with NXST's right, title, and interest in and to the Offering or the intellectual property rights therein. User does not acquire any right, title, or interest in or to the Offering, including any ownership interest in any element, segment or component of the Offering, other than the rights expressly set forth in this Agreement. User assigns to NXST any and all of User's right, title and interest in all intellectual property relating to the Offering and its functionality that User may have, and will execute, and cause its Authorized Users to execute, documentation to evidence NXST's interest as a consequence of the assignment described in the preceding sentence.
Without in any way limiting Section 6.1, User acknowledges and agrees that NXST is the sole owner of all right, title and interest (i) in and to all improvements to the Offering, including without limitation, any improvements made as a result of Feedback, and (ii) all data generated by the Offering, and the use thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, NXST may monitor User's use of the Platform and collect and compile data and information related to User's use of the Platform to be used by NXST in an aggregated and anonymized manner, including to compile statistical and performance information related to the provision and operation of the Platform ("Aggregated Statistics"). As between NXST and User, all right, title, and interest in Aggregated Statistics, and all intellectual property rights therein, belong to and are retained solely by NXST. User acknowledges that NXST may compile Aggregated Statistics based on User Data input into, or created by use of, the Offering. User agrees that NXST may (i) make Aggregated Statistics available to third parties in compliance with applicable law (including but not limited to making the Aggregated Statistics publicly available); and (ii) use Aggregated Statistics in any manner necessary or desirable for NXST to perform its obligations or exercise its rights as outlined herein, and permitted under applicable law.
NXST reserves all rights not expressly granted to User in this Agreement. Except for the limited rights and licenses expressly granted under this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement grants, by implication, waiver, estoppel, or otherwise, to User or any third party, any intellectual property rights or other right in order to the Platform or Aggregated Statistics.
With respect to the Platform, User is responsible and liable for all actions (and failures to take required actions) of itself, its Authorized Users, and any other third party to whom User or an Authorized User directly or indirectly provides access. Any act or omission by an Authorized User or third party given access that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if taken by User will be deemed a breach of this Agreement by User. User will use reasonable efforts to make all Authorized Users and third parties given access aware of the requirements and obligations of this Agreement as applicable to each Authorized User's use of the Offering, and will ensure Authorized Users comply with such provisions.
NXST is not responsible for delays, losses, outages, errors or other performance problems User may experience: (i) that are caused by or result from any acts or omissions of User; (ii) that are caused by or result from any defects with User equipment or facilities; (iii) caused by the actions or inactions of third parties that impair or disrupt User's access to the internet; (iv) during an event of force majeure; (v) during emergency maintenance for which Company has provided User with prior notice of and is required to perform emergency corrective actions, or (vi) during scheduled downtime.
User is responsible for all use of the Platform and the Offering resulting from the authorized or unauthorized use of User's and its Authorized Users' password and access credentials. User is responsible for keeping its own and its Authorized Users passwords and access credentials associated with the Offering confidential and will not sell or transfer them to any other person or entity. User will promptly notify NXST about any unauthorized access to User's or its Authorized Users' passwords or access credentials.
The Platform contains links to other websites that are not owned or operated by NXST. NXST has not reviewed the sites linked to the Platform and is not responsible for the contents of any such linked site. The inclusion of any link does not imply NXST's endorsement or approval of the linked site. Use of any such linked site is at User's own risk and NXST strongly advises User to make their own investigations with respect to the safety and suitability of those sites and their governing terms and policies. NXST has no control over and assumes no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites.
Each party agrees that in order to further the performance of this Agreement, a party to this Agreement (the "Discloser") may, from time to time, disclose to the other party (the "Receiver") certain confidential or proprietary information about its products, services, policies, procedures, practices, business methods, business data, plans, strategies, system(s), configuration(s), source/object code of systems or applications, whether written or oral, in electronic or other form of media, that is designated as confidential or proprietary or that may reasonably be considered confidential or proprietary at the time of disclosure ("Confidential Information"). Without limiting the foregoing, the Offering, all information related to the Offering, and the Feedback constitutes NXST's Confidential Information.
The Receiver will protect and safeguard the confidentiality of Discloser's Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care it utilizes with respect to its own similar confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable and customary care for such information. More specifically, Receiver will:
The obligations of confidentiality stated herein will not apply to any information that, at the time of disclosure: (i) is or becomes available to the public, other than as a result of, directly or indirectly, an impermissible disclosure by the Receiver or any of its Representatives, (ii) was or becomes available lawfully to the Receiver from a source other than the Discloser, which to the Receiver's knowledge, is or was not subject to a confidentiality obligation, (iii) was developed independently by the Receiver prior to disclosure by the Discloser, as demonstrated by the Receiver's records, or, (iv) is required to be disclosed by law, regulation, court or regulatory agency action. To avoid doubt, NXST may disclose User Data to NXST officers, employees, investors, legal and accounting professionals, contractors, and agents, including but not limited to Advisor Users, as necessary or desirable to provide, maintain, or commercialize the Offering or Platform.
Except with respect to User Data, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, or upon Discloser's request, Receiver will return or destroy, Discloser's Confidential Information and all items derived from such Confidential Information which are in the possession of the Receiver or its Representatives, including all copies thereof which may have been made by or on behalf of Receiver or its Representatives, except for such copies as may be required to be retained by applicable law. Any copies of Confidential Information that are retained due to a requirement under applicable law remains subject to the confidentiality obligations provided herein for as long as such information is needed to be retained. In the event that Receiver is directed to destroy such materials, it will certify in writing to Discloser that it has done so.
User acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Section 6 in any way expands the scope of the access or use as described in Section 1.
This Agreement commences on the date of User's acceptance of this Agreement, indicated by checking the box that confirms your acceptance or otherwise accessing the Offering, and continues in force and effect until User terminates their account ("Term").

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, USER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NXST IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY USE OF THE OFFERING OR ANY RESULTS THEREOF FOR ANY PURPOSE.

USER IS ADVISED TO CONSULT QUALIFIED FINANCIAL AND LEGAL EXPERTS FOR FINANCIAL AND LEGAL ADVICE. USER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR INDEPENDENTLY DETERMINING THE APPROPRIATENESS OF ANY PRODUCT, SERVICE, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS. USER CONSUMES, ADOPTS, OR FOLLOWS THE OFFERING'S INFORMATION, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE OFFERING AT ITS OWN RISK, AND USER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OUTCOMES ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE PLATFORM AND USER'S CONSUMPTION, ADOPTION, OR FOLLOWING OF ANY RECOMMENDATIONS.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
NXST will indemnify, defend, and hold User harmless from and against all losses, damages, claims, demands, liabilities, deficiencies, suits, actions, judgments, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, expenses of any kind (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs), and settlements of any of the foregoing, whether based in contract or tort (including strict liability) asserted by a third party or otherwise incurred by User, to the extent arising out of or related to: any infringement, violation, or unauthorized use of any copyright, trade secret, trademark or patent or any other property or personal right of any third party by the NXST and/or its employees, agents, or subcontractors in the performance of this Agreement.
User will indemnify, defend, and hold NXST, its affiliates and their respective officers, employees, and agents ("NXST Indemnitees") harmless from and against all losses, damages, claims, demands, liabilities, deficiencies, suits, actions, judgments, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, expenses of any kind (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs), and settlements of any of the foregoing, whether based in contract or tort (including strict liability) asserted by a third party or otherwise incurred by any NXST Indemnitee, to the extent arising out of or related to: (A) User's breach of the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the breach or failure of any User representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement; (B) any negligent act or omission by User relating to this Agreement or User's use of the Offering; (C) User's or Authorized Users' use of the Platform or any information accessed or used through the Platform; (D) NXST's authorized use, disclosure, or processing of User Data; or (E) any third party claim of infringement arising from or in connection with User Data used in accordance with this Agreement or User's or Authorized User's access to or use of the Offering in combination with software not supplied or approved by NXST if such claim would not have occurred in the absence of the foregoing.

The failure of either party to this Agreement to enforce any rights granted under this Agreement or to take action against the other party to this Agreement in the event of breach does not constitute a waiver by that party as to subsequent enforcement of rights or subsequent actions in the event of future breaches.

Any purported assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section is void. NXST expressly reserves the right to assign this Agreement and to delegate any of its obligations hereunder.
The Platform utilizes software and technology that may be subject to US export control laws, including the US Export Control Reform Act and its associated regulations. User will not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Platform or related documentation to, or make the Platform or related documentation accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by law, rule, or regulation.

By accessing or using the Platform, User acknowledges, understands, and consents to the use of AI Technologies as described in this Section 13 and as may be further implemented by NXST from time to time. User agrees that its continued use of the Platform following any update or modification to AI Technologies constitutes User's ongoing consent to such updated AI Technologies.
User acknowledges and agrees that NXST may use User Data, Platform usage data, User interactions with AI Technologies, and other data generated through or in connection with the Platform (collectively, "Training Data") to train, develop, improve, and refine AI models, machine learning algorithms, diagnostic frameworks, resources, and the Offering generally. Such use of Training Data may include, without limitation, the creation of aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified datasets for model training and validation purposes. The foregoing rights are in addition to, and do not limit, NXST's rights with respect to User Data under Section 3.2 or Aggregated Statistics under Section 4.3 of this Agreement.
NXST reserves the right to modify, update, suspend, or discontinue any AI Technologies or AI-enabled features of the Platform at any time, with or without notice, in its sole discretion.
