Ecotrak or Service Provider may make available third-party products or services to the applicable Customer, including, for example, Non-Ecotrak Applications and implementation and other consulting services. Any acquisition by Customer of such non-Ecotrak products or services, and any exchange of data between Customer and any non-Ecotrak provider, including, but not limited to, Service Provider, is solely between Customer and the applicable non-Ecotrak provider. Ecotrak does not warrant or support Non-Ecotrak Applications or other non-Ecotrak products or services, whether or not they are designated by Ecotrak as “certified” or otherwise, except as specified in the applicable Customer’s Order Form (if at all).
4.2 Non-Ecotrak Applications and Customer Data. If the applicable Customer installs or enables a Non-Ecotrak Application made available by Service Provider for use with a Software Service, Service Provider acknowledges that the applicable Customer has granted Ecotrak permission to allow Service Provider to access such Customer’s Customer Data as required for the interoperation of that Non-Ecotrak Application with the Software Service.

If Service Provider ceases to make the Non-Ecotrak Application available for interoperation with the corresponding Software Service features on reasonable terms, Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that Ecotrak may cease providing those Software Service features without entitling the applicable Customer to any refund, credit, or other compensation.
5. FEES AND PAYMENT
5.1 Fees. Service Provider shall pay to Ecotrak a fee of one dollar ($1) (the “Software Usage Fee”) per invoice issued by Service Provider and approved by the applicable Customer if the corresponding work order for such invoice is completed in the Software Services. Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for paying such Software Usage Fee to Ecotrak for all such Customer-approved invoices, regardless of whether Service Provider has received payment from the applicable Customer for such Customer-approved invoice.
5.2 Invoicing and Payment. Service Provider will receive a monthly invoice from Ecotrak, and such invoices will reflect the total Software Usage Fee based upon the number of Customer-approved invoices received during the prior month. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable invoice, fees and expenses are due net 30 days from the invoice date. Service Provider is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Ecotrak and notifying Ecotrak of any changes to such information. Except as otherwise indicated by Ecotrak, (a) Service Provider’s payment obligations hereunder are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable and (b) prices are quoted and payable in U.S. dollars.
5.3 Overdue Charges. If any invoiced amount is overdue, then without limiting Ecotrak’s other rights or remedies, Ecotrak may assess late payment interest on those charges at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. Service Provider will reimburse all of Ecotrak’s costs and expenses (including attorneys’ and experts’ fees) incurred in any attempt to collect or the collection of overdue amounts.

For clarity, Ecotrak is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.

14.9 Assignment. Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, either party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder, without the other party’s consent, to its Affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. Ecotrak may also subcontract its performance of the Software Services under these Terms.
14.10 Governing Law. These Terms, and any disputes arising out of or related thereto, will be governed exclusively by the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to any principle that would cause the application of the law of any other state.
14.11 Venue. All claims and issues arising from, relating to, or connected with these Terms that an arbitrator determines are excluded from the arbitration requirements herein (i.e., Section 14.12) may only be filed and resolved by state or Federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. Further, Ecotrak may obtain injunctive or other equitable relief in such courts in the event of any infringement or threatened infringement of its intellectual property rights. Neither party will claim that an aforementioned court lacks personal jurisdiction, is an inconvenient forum or is an improper venue.
14.12 Arbitration. The parties must submit all claims and issues arising from, relating to, or connected with these Terms to binding arbitration (e.g., a contract breach claim, indemnification duty issue, and questions regarding an arbitrator’s authority) in accordance with this Section 14.12. A single arbitrator will conduct the arbitration in Los Angeles County, CA, and in accordance with the current Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (JAMS). The arbitrator is bound by strict rules of law and these Terms. The arbitrator does not have the power to commit errors of law or legal reasoning, and a court may vacate or correct an arbitration award because of such errors. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) governs all issues arising from the arbitrability or the enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate, except for the requirements to apply California state law (but disregarding any principle of law that would cause the application of the law of any other jurisdiction or permit a court, as opposed to the arbitrator, to determine the applicability or validity of this agreement to arbitrate). The parties will equally share the arbitrators’ fees and other arbitration costs, regardless of outcome. The parties must submit or file any claim that would constitute a compulsory counterclaim (as defined by Rule 13 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) within the same arbitration proceedings as the claim to which it relates; any such claim which is not submitted or filed will be barred. The arbitrator may only award damages and may only grant relief that is permitted by these Terms. The arbitrator’s decision, award and relief will be conclusive and binding on the parties. Either party may enter the arbitrator’s decision, award and relief in any court having appropriate jurisdiction.
14.13 Class-Action Waiver. Arbitration may only be conducted on an individual, not a class wide, basis. No arbitration proceeding between Service Provider and Ecotrak may be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding involving Ecotrak and any other person or entity. Each party shall file and prosecute arbitration proceedings separately and individually in the name of Service Provider and Ecotrak, and not in any representative capacity. Each party hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any claim inconsistent with this Section 14.13.
14.14 Changes. Ecotrak reserves the right to make changes to these Terms at its discretion.
