5. The Portal, Customer Data, Service Levels.
If the Sellercloud Services, corresponding order and registration information provide for Sellercloud to host your Portal (defined below) during the applicable agreement period, Sellercloud agrees to configure, install, house, maintain, modify and operate the computer equipment, server software, network equipment and components and high-speed bandwidth/connectivity necessary to host your Portal. “Portal” means the internet site or network of sites created and hosted by Sellercloud for you and for which Sellercloud’s Service Fees (defined in Section 7, below) and any customization fees have been paid.
You acknowledge and understand that from time to time the Portal, the Site and/or Offerings may be inaccessible or inoperable for any reason, including, without limitation due to: (i) equipment malfunctions; (ii) periodic maintenance procedures or repairs that Sellercloud may undertake from time to time; or (iii) causes beyond the control of Sellercloud or that are not reasonably foreseeable by Sellercloud, including, without limitation, a Force Majeure event, interruption or failure of telecommunication or digital transmission links, hostile network attacks, network congestion or other failures. You acknowledge and understand that Sellercloud has no control that the Portal, the Site and/or Offerings will always be available and/or operate on a continuous, error-free or uninterrupted basis.
You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for all acts, omissions and use of your Portal including charges incurred with your account and the use and security of your own password. You are also solely responsible for migrating your own existing documents into your Portal and while Sellercloud may provide document migration and/or upgrade services for a fee, You are solely responsible for any data conversion, entry and verification.
AT ALL TIMES, YOU SHALL BEAR THE RISK OF LOSS AND OR DAMAGE TO ANY OR ALL OF YOUR PORTAL DATA, INFORMATION, IMAGES, DOCUMENTS, AND OTHER CONTENT THAT YOU HAVE SUBMITTED TO SELLERCLOUD AND THAT IS BEING USED IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR PORTAL (COLLECTIVELY “PORTAL DATA” or “CUSTOMER DATA”). “Customer Data” shall also be deemed to include any Customer’s data and any data of Customer’s clients or other third party data that is submitted to Sellercloud by Customer. You hereby grant Sellercloud a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable, sub-licensable and transferable license and right to access, store, use, reproduce, distribute to other qualified users, make derivative works of, perform and display, and delete (consistent with our data deletion policy), the Customer Data and Portal Data that is submitted to Sellercloud for the purposes of providing you the Site and the Offerings.
Without making any representations or warranties or assuming any obligations, Sellercloud provides an information security program that is intended (for the term of the Agreement): (i) to provide a measure of confidentiality for your Customer Data; and (ii) to protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of your Customer Data. However, you acknowledge and agree that you shall be solely responsible for undertaking appropriate measures to: (i) prevent any loss or damage to your Customer Data; (ii) maintain independent archival and backup copies of your Customer Data; and (iii) ensure the security, confidentiality and integrity of your Customer Data transmitted through or stored on Sellercloud’s servers. Sellercloud’s servers and the Offerings that we provide are not intended to serve as an archive for the maintenance or storage of your Customer Data and Sellercloud shall have no liability to you or any other person for loss, damage or destruction of any of your Customer Data unless such loss, damage or destruction was caused by Sellercloud’s intentional misconduct. Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement or upon the termination of your access to the Portal, moving your Customer Data off of Sellercloud’s servers is your sole responsibility.
Sellercloud’s service level objective is to provide the Services without Service Level Failures (defined below) on a twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week basis throughout the term of the Agreement (“Service Level Objective”). Should you experience an interruption, suspension or unavailability in a subscribed to Service due to an Error (as defined below) and not as a result of a scheduled maintenance or other non-qualifying cause or event (“Service Level Failure”), you should provide us with notification by email that includes a detailed report of the incident. Once we have verified the incident, we shall endeavor to achieve an Error Correction (as defined below) provided your account remains current and in good standing. For customer account holders whose accounts are in good standing, the Service Level Failure period does not begin until after we have first verified that the reported incident to which you have provided us with notification results from an Error. The period of Service Level Failure ends when the affected subscribed to Service is made operational again by way of an Error Correction or by deploying a reasonable acceptable workaround solution. A Service Level Failure does not include, and no Service Level Credits (as defined below) will be awarded for any failure in Services that results from or is related to:
- actions taken or not taken by Customer or its authorized users;
- events that are beyond the control of Sellercloud or that were not reasonably foreseeable by Sellercloud, including, without limitation, a Force Majeure event, interruption or failure of telecommunication or digital transmission links, hostile network attacks, a failure of hardware or software or services or products by one of our suppliers or licensors, network congestion or other third party causes; or
- a planned, scheduled or emergency maintenance procedure.
Provided that you agree to provide us with notice of any suspected Service Level Failure in accordance with the Error reporting procedure described in Section 6, below, we will apply to your account a credit in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the net Services Fees for the applicable Services for each full hour of Service Level Failure (“Service Level Credit”). An applicable Service Level Credit will appear on your invoice following processing. Service Level Credits will not have any cash value either at the end of your Services subscription or upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Service Level Credits will be calculated as a credit to the Services Fees only for the applicable Services that experienced the Service Level Failure(s). The maximum total credit for all Service Level Failures to meet our Service Level Objective is limited to the total Services Fees for such Services for the month in which the Service Level Failure(s) occur. You must be a Sellercloud Customer in good standing to receive any Service Level Credits. No Service Level Credits will be applied to accounts that are past-due or for cancelled accounts. Upon cancellation of your account, any outstanding or previously accrued Service Level Credits will be forfeited. Service Level Credits will not be applied against any past due balances.
THE FOREGOING OFFER FOR SERVICE LEVEL CREDITS REPRESENTS SELLERCLOUD’S TOTAL LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY SERVICE LEVEL FAILURES, ERRORS OR BREACHES OF WARRANTY ASSOCIATED WITH ANY SERVICE LEVEL FAILURE. Customer waives its rights to all other remedies or recourse for any deficiency or failure by us to meet our SERVICE LEVEL OBJECTIVE.
6. Technical Support and Disaster Recovery
The following provisions of this Section 6 shall apply during any period for which we have agreed to provide hosting Services and you have paid the required hosting fee and are not in breach of the Agreement. During such time, Sellercloud shall provide to you: (i) all upgrades, modifications, improvements, enhancements, extensions, and other changes to the Services which are generally made available at no cost to other customers of those Services; (ii) any needed Error Corrections as described herein; (iii) email support as described herein; and (iii) access to the Site for registered users containing various features, technical tips, and techniques.
Subject to the requirements set forth in Section 5, above, your designated site administrator may email Sellercloud’s technical support team at the email support address provided by Sellercloud with questions or problems on a particular topic related to the Services. In our sole discretion, each separate inquiry relating to one specific feature, function, action, or facet of the Services, or one aspect of its operation or performance shall be considered as a separate technical support incident with an assigned separate reference number. We shall also determine in our sole discretion what technical support, if any, will be provided in response to any particular incident.
Sellercloud shall provide up to one-hundred fifty (150) email technical support incidents/tickets to you annually. Check the Site for additional fees charged for processing reported technical support incidents/tickets that exceed your annual maximum amount. By opening a support case, you agree to allow a Sellercloud Representative to log in and access your account. Sellercloud’s technical support team shall deploy commercially reasonable efforts to respond to technical support incidents promptly (within 24 hours) after having received your email support request, and our response will likely consist of doing at least one of the following:
- Answer the question(s)posed
- Provide an Error Correction
- Provide a reasonable work-around or other solution to the reported incident
- Determine if the reported incident is an enhancement request and forward the request to Sellercloud Product Management for future consideration
- Accessing your account
- Escalate to Sellercloud Engineering for review.
Sellercloud’s technical support will deploy commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the reported incident but Sellercloud cannot guarantee that every incident will be resolved. When you report a suspected Error (defined below), you must provide Sellercloud with sufficient information to be able to diagnose and/or reproduce or recreate the suspected Error on Sellercloud’s equipment, and you agree to cooperate and provide us with whatever additional information we may reasonably request. An “Error” is defined to be a material failure of the Sellercloud Services to operate substantially in accordance with the applicable user guides and reference manuals. Errors do not include your inability to fully use the Sellercloud Services due to features, functionality or limitations of other software or hardware that Sellercloud Services are not designed or not optimized to operate with such as using hardware or software that do not meet our system requirements. If we confirm a suspected Error, Sellercloud shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide an Error Correction. An “Error Correction” includes, without limitation, workarounds, support releases, updates, component replacements, patches and/or documentation changes, as Sellercloud deems appropriate.
At Sellercloud, for the term of the Agreement, we store and back-up Customer Data as part of our disaster recovery planning. Sellercloud has a data replication goal of every 30 minutes. We currently store Customer Data onsite at multiple recovery points throughout the day. Those snapshots are also locked and archived offsite at another location in the United States. To reduce inaccessibility due to internet interruptions, an alternate internet gateway is available in the event that there is an internet outage to the data center. By navigating to www.sellercloud.co instead of www.sellercloud.com, the user can utilize that alternate gateway. If the domain hosting fails for sellercloud.com, you should also generally still be able to navigate to www.sellercloud.net, which is registered with another domain registrar.
Sellercloud shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide support services via the support Portal. Under no circumstances however is Sellercloud obligated to provide support services not expressly agreed to herein or otherwise provide telephone assistance or consulting time relating to any problems, errors or malfunctions that are caused by (a) malfunction of the computer system and communications network on which you have installed and are using the Services, (b) your use of third-party software or other software not licensed pursuant to this Agreement, (c) your use of the Services in disregard of any known adverse consequences, including without limitation the failure of a Customer to make appropriate backups, heed warning messages or other written instructions received from Sellercloud, or (d) actions, events or incidents that are not otherwise attributable to the actions of Sellercloud. You agree to pay Sellercloud at its standard hourly rates for any time that we spend assisting or consulting with you in connection with seeking to correct a problem, error or malfunction that is not otherwise covered by the scope of this Agreement.
You agree that we may collect and use any technical information gathered as part of delivering the technical support services to you under this Agreement and you agree that notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Sellercloud shall always have the irrevocable and perpetual right to use such information to improve and customize its Offerings; provided however, that we do disclose this information in a form that personally identifies you.
7. Fees and Payment
You must have Internet access and a valid Payment Method (defined below) to subscribe to, license or purchase any Offerings. All Offerings are subject to change or discontinuance at any time with thirty (30) days’ prior notice. All fees for Services and Products, including prices for Product purchases are listed in U.S. dollars and are valid until such prices are superseded by us with another price listing. We may also charge you a non-refundable setup fee which may vary according to the Offerings that are purchased.
We currently accept Visa®, MasterCard® and American Express® credit cards, including ACH payment, cashier’s and business checks (each a “Payment Method” or collectively “Payment Methods”). We reserve the right to change the Payment Methods we accept at any time without notice. We may terminate or suspend your Services or your order for Products, withhold the release of upgrades to you, and take such other action as we may deem appropriate in our sole and absolute discretion if we are unable to process any of your proposed Payment Methods.
By accepting any of our Services, you expressly agree that we are authorized to charge your proposed or your alternative proposed Payment Method for all applicable Services fee(s) in accordance with and at the then current rates quoted in the applicable pricing plan for which you have subscribed (“Pricing Plan”), plus any applicable taxes and other charges that you may incur in connection with your use of the Sellercloud Services (collectively, “Service Fees”).
We currently offer a number of Pricing Plans, including flat fee, revenue sharing, and per transaction fee, as described on the Site. We may offer special promotional plans, bundled plans, premium services, and subscriptions with different limitations. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY, TERMINATE OR OTHERWISE AMEND OUR OFFERED PRICING PLANS BEGINNING WITH THE NEXT BILLING CYCLE WITHOUT SPECIAL NOTICE. Except for prices for subscriptions, which shall not be changed during the then current applicable agreement period (i.e., not including subsequent renewals), we may have to change the fees, applicable state sales taxes and charges in effect, or add new fees, state sales taxes and charges from time to time, but we will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with reasonable advance notice of these changes by email. Such notices to you shall be deemed to have been given upon transmission using the most recent email address that we have for you on file. Please note, however, that we may not be able to provide you with thirty (30) days’ advance notice of all such changes. By way of illustration only, certain state sales taxes will automatically be applied under applicable state law without any prior notice once certain order volume thresholds are met but even in such cases, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with thirty (30) days’ prior notice.
We will bill your Payment Method for Service Fees corresponding to your order at the time of your order. For non-flat fee Pricing Plans, we will continue to bill your Payment Method on an applicable periodic basis (generally monthly) during the term of subscription and thereafter, including any renewal periods, unless and until you cancel your subscription. If you wish to cancel your subscription, click the “your account” link at the top of the Site for cancellation instructions.

The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief as a court, but only in favor of an individual party and for a party’s individual claim.
c. Arbitration Costs: You will be responsible for Your share of any arbitration fees (e.g., filing, administrative, etc.), but only up to the amount of filing fees You would incur if the claims were filed in court. You are responsible for all other costs/fees that You incur in arbitration, e.g., fees for attorneys, expert witnesses, etc. You will not be required to reimburse Sellercloud for any fees unless the arbitrator finds that the substance of Your claim(s) or the relief sought is frivolous. If the arbitrator makes such a finding, AAA Rules will govern the payment of all fees, and Sellercloud may seek reasonable attorney’s fees. Sellercloud will pay all fees and costs it is required by law to pay.

If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable or is found not to apply to a claim, the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall remain in full force and effect except that if the class or collective action waiver provision is deemed unenforceable, any class or collective action claim(s) must proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction.
e. Exception to Arbitration for Injunctive Relief: Notwithstanding the above, you agree that Sellercloud shall have the right to bring any claim against You, including without limitation a claim for injunctive relief to prevent or limit irreparable injury to Sellercloud, a claim for breach or threatened breach by You of the provisions of this Agreement, including a breach or threatened breach of Section 8 and Section 7 of Schedule A of the Agreement or involving a claim for infringement or threatened infringement by you of the intellectual property rights of Sellercloud or a third-party, in a court of competent jurisdiction located in New Castle County, Delaware USA.
