StratusLIVE grants Subscriber a non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable (other than as set forth in this Agreement) right to access and use those modules of the Service set forth on the Order Form for its own internal business purposes in accordance with the terms and conditions in this Agreement. Subscriber shall not (i) license, sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, assign, or otherwise commercially exploit or make available to any third party the Service, other than making the donor-facing, volunteer-facing, or public engagement and fundraising features of the Service available to Subscriber’s own constituents, donors, corporate partners, or volunteers in the ordinary course of Subscriber’s use of the licensed Service; or (ii) access the Service in order to (a) build a competitive product or Service, (b) build a product using similar ideas, features, functions or graphics of the Service, or (c) copy any ideas, features, functions or graphics of the Service.
2. Intellectual Property Rights
2.1 Ownership. Subscriber acknowledges that all applicable Intellectual Property Rights in the StratusLIVE Service, the Documentation, and any modifications or enhancements to any of the foregoing, are and shall belong to and remain the property of StratusLIVE. Subscriber shall at all times retain ownership of its data, whether entered or transferred into the StratusLIVE Software. StratusLIVE may copy, replicate, move or otherwise manage the Subscriber data as necessary.
2.2 No Work for Hire. Nothing in this Agreement shall be considered as constituting, producing, or resulting in a “work for hire” under the copyright laws of the United States.
2.3 Proprietary Designations. User interfaces, the StratusLIVE Service, web pages, and/or Documentation may contain copyright notices, restrictive legends, or other proprietary designations of StratusLIVE (or “Proprietary Designations”). Subscriber shall not remove, obscure, or modify any such Proprietary Designations nor take any action that would jeopardize any Intellectual Property Rights of StratusLIVE represented by such Proprietary Designations. Subscriber shall not use or register, directly or indirectly, any trademarks, service marks, trade names, or copyrights, which are identical or confusingly similar to any of the Proprietary Designations.
2.4 Reservation of Rights. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by StratusLIVE. StratusLIVE shall retain all Intellectual Property Rights in the StratusLIVE Service and related Documentation; no title to any such Intellectual Property Rights is transferred to Subscriber.
3. StratusLIVE Service
3.1 StratusLIVE Service. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that access to the StratusLIVE Service is limited to the version or release then currently being provided by StratusLIVE to Subscriber at the time service is requested or authorized access attempted.
3.2 AI-assisted Features. StratusLIVE may provide artificial intelligence (“AI” and/or “AI Agents”) functionality as part of the Services. Many of these features are powered exclusively by a private StratusLIVE-hosted AI system. Where we use Public AI Models (a.k.a., Large Language Models or "LLMs") as part of the user experience in our software, such Public AI Models are gated within StratusLIVE's software. Subscriber and donor data, including Personally Identifiable Information ("PII"), is never exported to, sold to, or disclosed to any Public AI Model, and is never used to train, retrain, fine-tune, or otherwise improve any Public AI Model.
Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that AI outputs – for example, generated from the use of an AI Agent made available in your StratusLIVE software - are generated algorithmically and may not always be accurate. Subscribers are responsible for reviewing and validating AI-assisted outputs before relying on them.
AI features are provided “as is” without additional warranties of accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose.
3.3 Service Availability. The Service will maintain an average availability of no less than 99.9%, calculated on a monthly basis, excluding downtime caused by (i) scheduled maintenance performed each Sunday between the hours of 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM Eastern Time, (ii) emergency maintenance, (iii) force majeure, such as a major outage of the public internet, and (iv) any other events beyond StratusLIVE’s reasonable control (collectively, “Excluded Downtime”). Availability for a calendar month will be calculated as follows: ((Total Minutes in the Month − Excluded Downtime − Unplanned Downtime) / (Total Minutes in the Month − Excluded Downtime)) × 100. StratusLIVE will provide at least twenty-four (24) hours’ advance notice, via the Service or by email, of scheduled maintenance occurring outside the standard maintenance window. Emergency maintenance may be performed without advance notice where reasonably necessary to protect the security, integrity, or stability of the Service.
3.4 StratusLIVE Support. Our 24×7 web-based support system monitored by our support technicians allows Subscriber the ability to submit support requests to StratusLIVE. Subscriber may identify the severity level of any issue. StratusLIVE targets the following initial response times based on the severity level assigned:
| Severity | Description | Target Initial Response* |
|---|---|---|
| Severity 1 – Critical | The Service is completely unavailable, or a core function is inoperable for all users, with no workaround available. | 1 business hour |
| Severity 2 – High | A major function is significantly impaired for a substantial number of users, though a workaround may exist. | 4 business hours |
| Severity 3 – Medium | A minor function is impaired with limited impact on Subscriber's use of the Service. | 1 business day |
| Severity 4 – Low | General questions, minor issues, documentation requests, or enhancement requests. | 2 business days |
*Target response times are goals, not guaranteed service levels, and do not create any right to a service credit or other remedy under this Agreement.
3.5 Backup and Replication. StratusLIVE shall provide data storage back up to copy the application server data and Subscriber’s data on a nightly frequency and retain those back-ups in the hosting facility. In the event that Subscriber’s data is lost from Subscriber’s servers, StratusLIVE shall restore the backup data to alternate servers. StratusLIVE shall not be responsible for files that cannot be recovered due to corrupt data, fires or any other disaster or event outside the control of StratusLIVE in accordance with Section 3.3. In addition to the daily backup and disaster recovery service level support provided in the StratusLIVE subscription price, Subscriber can obtain a data replication service on their own.
3.6 Service Limitations and Subscriber Cooperation. While this Agreement is in effect, Subscriber shall (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide StratusLIVE with sufficient documentation, information, and assistance to enable StratusLIVE to duplicate, diagnose, and correct any reported non-conformance that StratusLIVE is obligated to correct under this Agreement, and (b) perform all standard user diagnostic, remedial, and corrective actions described in StratusLIVE’s Documentation before requesting assistance from StratusLIVE; if Subscriber fails to do so, StratusLIVE may bill Subscriber on a time-and-materials basis at its then-prevailing rates for performing such actions.
StratusLIVE’s obligation to provide the Service, including access to it, is conditioned upon Subscriber’s fulfillment of its payment and performance obligations under this Agreement and this Agreement remaining in full force and effect. Subscriber acknowledges that StratusLIVE has no control over the internet, communication lines, or the conditions under which Subscriber uses the Service, and the Service cannot be expected to be error-free or uninterrupted. Any problem or non-conformance is excluded from coverage under this Agreement to the extent it results from: (i) alteration, modification, misuse, negligence, accident, or any third-party defect or malfunction, or maintenance by anyone other than StratusLIVE; (ii) use of the Service in combination with software not provided or authorized in writing by StratusLIVE; (iii) malfunction of any hardware, software, or component of Subscriber or a third party; (iv) use of the Service inconsistent with the Documentation or in a hostile environment; or (v) power surges, improper line voltage, software viruses, or acts of God. StratusLIVE may, at Subscriber’s request and its then-current time-and-materials rates, assist Subscriber in correcting problems arising from any of the foregoing causes.
3.7 Access. With respect to the StratusLIVE Service and each item pursuant to this Agreement, the Subscriber hereby agrees as follows:
a.

c. The StratusLIVE Service and any related Documentation are the Confidential Information of StratusLIVE, and Subscriber shall keep the same in confidence and shall not use or disclose the same except as permitted by this Agreement.
d. Subscriber agrees to comply with all export and re-export restrictions and regulations of the United States, and shall not to transfer, or authorize the transfer, of all or any part of the StratusLIVE Service, any Software, or any Documentation.

5. Warranty
5.1 StratusLIVE Service.
a. StratusLIVE warrants that the StratusLIVE Service furnished under this Agreement will substantially conform to the then current StratusLIVE Documentation with respect thereto, and that such conformance means that under normal use the StratusLIVE Service will be free from a material deviation from the StratusLIVE Documentation. StratusLIVE’s sole liability and obligation in the case of any breach of this warranty is to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a fix for any such defect. StratusLIVE does not warrant that the functions contained in the StratusLIVE Service will meet Subscriber’s requirements or will operate uninterrupted or error free.
b. Subscriber Remedy. Subscriber’s sole and exclusive remedy and StratusLIVE’s only obligation under this warranty, is to re-perform services provided under this Agreement until they are performed in a good and workmanlike manner. In the event that any services required to be provided by StratusLIVE under this Agreement cannot be provided within a reasonable time after notification, Subscriber’s sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to StratusLIVE and receive a refund of any fees paid for the period beginning on the date the problem requiring correction was reported in writing to StratusLIVE.
5.2 Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability
a. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, StratusLIVE makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and the Service and Documentation are provided “as is.” These limitations and disclaimers apply regardless of the legal theory asserted, including contract, tort, or negligence.
b. Subscriber is solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and adequacy of the data it transmits to or stores in the Service, and StratusLIVE has no liability for damages or losses arising from Subscriber’s reliance on such data.
c. In no event shall StratusLIVE be liable for lost profits, loss of data, or any indirect, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 9.8 within the earlier of (i) one year after StratusLIVE furnished the Service giving rise to the claim, or (ii) ninety days after termination of this Agreement, and only after Subscriber has given StratusLIVE written notice of the claim in reasonable detail.
e. Limitation of Liability. In no event shall either party's aggregate liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, exceed the total fees paid or payable by Subscriber to StratusLIVE in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
5.3 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable to the other party for failures or delays arising out of conditions beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, fire, civil disobedience, delays associated with hardware malfunction, riots, rebellions, storms, electrical failures, acts of God and similar occurrences. Performance times under this Agreement shall be considered extended for a reasonable period of time equivalent to the time lost because of any such failure or delay.
6. Confidentiality
6.1 Mutual Covenant. Each party agrees to keep strictly confidential and not to disclose to any third party any and all Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other party without such disclosing party’s prior approval. Each party shall advise its employees who at any time have access to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information of the obligations assumed hereunder by such receiving party. Each party will in all events exercise no less care and effort in the protection of the Confidential Information of the disclosing party as such receiving party uses to protect its own Confidential Information.
6.2 AI Model Training Restriction. StratusLIVE will not use, and will not permit any third party to use, Subscriber's Confidential Information, including donor and constituent data, in connection with any Public AI Models for model training of generative artificial intelligence or any other similar purpose. A breach of this Section 6.2 shall be treated as a breach of Section 6.1 for purposes of remedy and enforcement, including Subscriber's termination right under Section 7.2.
7. Term and Termination
7.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date listed in the Order Form and shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 7, continue for a period identified in the Order Form (the “Initial Term”), and afterward shall automatically renew for one or more one-year periods (“Renewal Terms”) provided that Subscriber is current on payments due to StratusLIVE, or unless and until terminated by either party as of the end of the Initial Term or any applicable one-year Renewal Term, as the case may be, by written notice given to the other party no later than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or such Renewal Term, as the case may be. Should both parties provide such written notices, one to renew and one to cancel, the notice of cancellation shall prevail.
7.2 Termination for Breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement by reason of material breach by the other party, by giving the breaching party written notice specifying such material breach and affording the breaching party ten (10) business days from the date of receipt of such notice in which to cure the material breach (the “Cure Period”). Should the breaching party fail to cure the breach within the Cure Period, this Agreement shall be considered terminated as of the last day of the Cure Period. Without limitation, the failure of Subscriber to pay any amounts owing to StratusLIVE under this Agreement shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, StratusLIVE will also have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately, with or without notice to Subscriber, in the event of any breach by Subscriber of any of Section 3.7, and either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately, with or without notice to the other, in the event of any breach of paragraphs 6.1 or 6.2 of this Agreement.
7.3 Continuing Obligations. Termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not relieve either party of its obligations, or impair any protections that have arisen or accrued, prior to the effective date of termination, including without limitation all provisions relating to: confidentiality and Intellectual Property Rights; disclaimers of warranties and limitations of liability; infringement; indemnification; responsibility for attorneys’ fees; and choice of law and venue. Subscriber’s payment obligations (and any security therefor) with respect to all amounts due or to become due for Service authorized under this Agreement prior to termination shall likewise survive termination.
7.4 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, all access, and other rights granted to Subscriber in or with respect to the StratusLIVE Service, and Documentation shall immediately cease. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, (a) all Information shall be the exclusive property of StratusLIVE; (b) Subscriber shall return to StratusLIVE all documents, manuals, and drawings containing any Information or Documentation, or any embodiments or portion thereof, then in the possession of Subscriber at Subscriber’s expense (unless StratusLIVE directs Subscriber to instead destroy any or all such copies). (c) Subscriber shall immediately cease use of the StratusLIVE Service. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, all amounts owed by Subscriber to StratusLIVE shall be paid to StratusLIVE immediately, and both parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any negative publicity regarding the other party that could result from such termination.
8. Infringement and Indemnification
8.1 StratusLIVE Infringement and Indemnity. StratusLIVE will defend, indemnify, and hold Subscriber harmless against any third-party claim that the StratusLIVE Service infringes a patent, trademark, copyright, or other Intellectual Property Right enforceable in the United States, subject to the procedures in Section 8.3. StratusLIVE’s obligations under this Section will not apply if a claim is based on use of the StratusLIVE Service not in accordance with the StratusLIVE Documentation, or on use of the StratusLIVE Service with third-party software, process, or article. If a third-party infringement claim is sustained in a final, non-appealable judgment, or if Subscriber’s use of the Service is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, StratusLIVE will, at its election and expense, either (a) procure Subscriber’s right to continue using the Service, (b) replace or modify the Service to make it non-infringing, or (c) if neither is reasonably feasible, terminate this Agreement as to the infringing Service and refund fees paid in advance for Service that cannot be performed. Except as provided in this Section, Subscriber has no other remedy against StratusLIVE for any claim of intellectual property infringement respecting the Service.
8.2 Subscriber Indemnity. Subscriber shall defend, indemnify, and hold StratusLIVE harmless against any third-party claim arising from Subscriber’s data, products, or services, Subscriber’s breach of this Agreement, or Subscriber’s use of the StratusLIVE Service not in accordance with this Agreement, including any use of the Service in conjunction with other software or a modification not expressly provided for in the Documentation, subject to the procedures in Section 8.3.
8.3 Indemnification Procedures. The obligations in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 are conditioned on the indemnified party (a) giving the indemnifying party prompt written notice of the claim, (b) cooperating fully in its defense, and (c) giving the indemnifying party sole authority to control the proceedings and any related settlement, provided that no settlement imposing liability on the indemnified party may be made without its prior written consent. The indemnifying party will pay all costs, damages, and attorneys’ fees finally awarded by a court as a result of any such claim.

Such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed revised to effect, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the intent of the parties as set forth therein.
9.4 Waiver.

Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by email (with confirmation of receipt), hand delivery, certified mail (return receipt requested, postage pre-paid), or a recognized overnight courier, in each case to the address or email address specified on the Order Form or as later updated by written notice under this Section. Notices are effective upon delivery to the intended recipient.
