Customer is responsible for the use or misuse of the Service by Authorized Users. Any action taken or breach of this Agreement by an Authorized User will be deemed an action taken or a breach of this Agreement by Customer. Customer must safeguard all Customer and Authorized User access credentials and Customer is responsible for all actions taken with such access credentials. - Ownership. Except for the license in Section 2(a), Hatch retains all rights, title, and interest in and to the Service, Hatch Works (defined below), and aggregated, de-identified data about Service usage and performance (“Diagnostic Data”).

Late payments accrue interest at one and a half percent (1.5%) per month (or the maximum rate allowed by law) from the due date until paid. Hatch reserves the right to engage a third-party collections agency to collect any amounts outstanding for thirty (30) days or more, and Customer will be responsible for all reasonable costs incurred in connection with such collection efforts, to the extent permitted by law. In addition, Hatch may suspend, disable, or limit Customer’s access to the Services (including by account lockout) if any Fees are past due, if a payment is reversed or rejected, or if a chargeback or other payment dispute is initiated (each, a “Payment Delinquency”). Hatch may provide notice of a Payment Delinquency and suspension by email or within the Services, but is not required to provide advance notice before suspending access. During any suspension, Fees and other amounts owed under the Agreement will continue to accrue and remain payable, and Hatch has no obligation to provide access to the Services until all past due amounts and any applicable interest, bank fees, chargeback fees, or reasonable costs of collection are paid in full. Hatch will reinstate access after payment is received and processed. Hatch is not liable for any loss of data, interruption of business, or other damages resulting from a suspension for a Payment Delinquency.

This Section 9(a) states Customer’s entire and sole liability for Third-Party Claims.
- Hatch. Hatch will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer and its affiliates, officers, employees, and contractors (each, a “Customer Released Party”) from any Third-Party Claim alleging that the Platform infringes such third party’s patent rights. If such a claim arises, Hatch may, at its sole option and expense: (i) procure the right for Customer to continue using the Platform; (ii) modify or replace the Platform with substantially similar functionality; or (iii) if the foregoing are not commercially practicable, terminate this Agreement and refund Customer a pro-rata share of the Fees.

9. INDEMNIFICATION
- Customer. Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Hatch, its affiliates, and their respective affiliates, officers, employees, and contractors officers (each, a “Hatch Released Party”) from any third-party claim, investigation, or proceeding (each, a “Third-Party Claim”) arising out of or in connection with any (i) use of the Service by Customer or its Authorized User in violation of this Agreement or Hatch’s Terms of Service at https://www.usehatchapp.com/terms; (ii) breach of Customer’s representations or warranties (including Section 7(c)); (iii) Customer Data uploaded, transmitted, or generated to or through the Service; or (iv) use of the Service to transmit Communications in violation of applicable law, regulation, or industry best practice including Applicable Communication Requirements. Customer will indemnify and defend each Hatch Released Party from the Third-Party Claim and hold such parties harmless from all penalties, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and settlements costs). This Section 9(a) states Customer’s entire and sole liability for Third-Party Claims.
- Hatch. Hatch will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer and its affiliates, officers, employees, and contractors (each, a “Customer Released Party”) from any Third-Party Claim alleging that the Platform infringes such third party’s patent rights. If such a claim arises, Hatch may, at its sole option and expense: (i) procure the right for Customer to continue using the Platform; (ii) modify or replace the Platform with substantially similar functionality; or (iii) if the foregoing are not commercially practicable, terminate this Agreement and refund Customer a pro-rata share of the Fees.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hatch will have no liability for a Third-Party Claim arising out of or resulting from (i) Customer’s or its Authorized User’s breach of this Agreement; (ii) any modification, alteration, or addition made to the Platform by Customer or any Authorized User, including any combination of the Platform with software not provided by Hatch; or (iii) Customer Data. This Section 9(b) states Hatch’s entire and sole liability for Third-Party Claims. - Procedure. The party seeking indemnification under this Section (“Indemnified Party”) must promptly notify the other party (“Indemnifying Party”) of any claim for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification (failure to do so only excusing the Indemnifying Party to the extent of material prejudice). The Indemnifying Party will, at its own expense, defend the Indemnified Party with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and will have sole control of the defense and settlement, provided it may not settle without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent unless the settlement is solely monetary and fully covered. The Indemnified Party will reasonably cooperate (at the Indemnifying Party’s expense) and may participate in the defense through its own legal counsel at its own cost, or at the Indemnifying Party’s cost if the Indemnifying Party fails to defend.
10. MISCELLANEOUS
- Third-Party Products. Customer’s use of third-party products or services that integrate with the Service is at Customer’s sole discretion and governed only by the applicable third-party terms. If Customer enables or provides access to such third-party products or services, Customer authorizes transmission of and access to Customer Data as directed. Hatch does not control, support, or warrant third-party products or services, even if identified by Hatch or implemented or configured by Hatch at Customer’s direction.
- Injunctive Relief. Customer agrees that any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement may cause Hatch irreparable harm, entitling Hatch to seek injunctive relief in addition to other legal remedies.
- Assignment. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of each party’s successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign this Agreement or any rights under it, without the other party’s prior written consent, except in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, in which case no consent is required. Any other assignment is void.
- Export Compliance. Customer will comply with all applicable export and re-export control laws and regulations, including trade and economic sanctions maintained by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. Customer will not export or transfer any products, service, or technology received from Hatch under this Agreement, or related technology, in violation of such laws.
- Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, then the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
- Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without reference to its conflict of laws principles. All disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Virginia, and the parties agree to waive all rights to challenge the foregoing.
- Entire Agreement; Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement, including any related Order Form(s), constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter set forth herein and supersedes any previous, or contemporaneous communications, whether oral or written, express or implied. The terms of any Customer-generated purchase order or any terms presented in connection with any vendor management tool (e.g., vendor payment portal) will be void and shall have no legal effect. Hatch may amend this Agreement from time to time by posting an amended version at its website and sending Customer written notice thereof. Such amendment will be deemed accepted by Customer and become effective thirty (30) days after such notice (the “Proposed Amendment Date”), unless Customer objects in writing, in which case the amendment applies upon the next renewal unless Customer elects not to renew. Continued use of the Service after an amendment takes effect constitutes acceptance. All other modifications or waivers must be in writing and signed by both parties.
- Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement will be effective if it is (i) in writing and sent by certified or registered mail, or insured courier, return receipt requested, to the appropriate party at the address set forth in the Order Form and with the appropriate postage affixed; or (ii) sent via electronic mail to support@usehatchapp.com in the case of Hatch and to the address or email provided in the Order Form, in the case of Customer. Either party may change its address for receipt of notice by notice to the other party in accordance with this section. Notices are deemed given two (2) business days following the date of mailing, one (1) business day following delivery to a courier, or on the same day an electronic mail is sent to the recipient.
- Marketing. Hatch may use Customer’s name and logo to identify Customer as a Hatch customer and may display examples of Customer’s Communications on its website or in other media. Customer may revoke this right by written notice if such use is derogatory, defamatory, or harmful to Customer’s business or reputation.
11. DATA PROTECTION
- Personal Information. To the extent Customer Data includes personal information, personally identifiable information, or personal data (“Personal Information”) under applicable laws and regulations governing the processing of Personal Information by Hatch on Customer’s behalf under the Agreement (“Data Protection Laws”), including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.) (“CCPA”), Hatch will act as a “service provider” and will retain, use, and disclose such Personal Information for the sole purposes specified in this Agreement. Hatch will not “sell” or “share” (as defined in the CCPA) any Personal Information, use or disclose Customer’s Personal Information outside the business relationship with Customer, or combine Customer’s Personal Information with any personal information Hatch receives from any other source, except as permitted by applicable Data Protection Laws. Customer has the right to take reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that Hatch uses Personal Information in a manner consistent with the Customer’s obligations under applicable law, and to stop and remediate Hatch’s unauthorized use of Personal Information. Hatch will notify Customer if it makes a determination that it can no longer meet its obligations under applicable laws. Hatch hereby certifies that it understands and shall comply with the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
- Data Subject Requests. Hatch will reasonably assist Customer in handling data subject requests (e.g., access or deletion) received from Subscribers. If Hatch receives such a request or complaint that identifies Customer, Hatch will promptly notify Customer and provide reasonable assistance but will not respond directly except to confirm receipt, redirect to Customer, or act on Customer’s reasonable instructions.
- Security. Hatch will maintain commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the Personal Information it processes on behalf of Customer. If Hatch becomes aware of any unauthorized acquisition, alteration, or disclosure of Customer’s Personal Information that requires notification under Data Protection Laws, Hatch will notify Customer promptly and without undue delay.
- Sub-Processors. Customer authorizes Hatch to engage third-party sub-processors to process Personal Information provided such sub-processors are bound by written contracts with protections at least as strong as those in this Section and as required by Data Protection Laws.
- Customer Privacy Obligations. Customer will provide and maintain an appropriate consumer-facing privacy policy and any other notices required under Data Protection Laws. Customer will ensure that individuals receive appropriate notice and, where required, consent to the collection and processing of Personal Information, including the use of cookies and similar technologies, and will comply with laws such as the CCPA, California Invasion of Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 632 – 638.55) and analogous federal, state, and foreign laws governing electronic communications.
- Additional Terms. To the extent data protection laws imposing additional obligations on Hatch, such as the Regulation 2016/679 (“EU GDPR”) or the Data Protection Act 2018 (“UK GDPR”), apply to the collection, use, or disclosure of Personal Information under this Agreement, the parties will comply with the requirements set forth in a data processing addendum which shall be specifically incorporated by reference in the respective Order Form.
