Unless expressly stated otherwise in the Order Form or Application Plan: (a) all Fees are stated, and are to be paid, in Canadian Dollars via credit card; (b) all Fees are payable in advance; (c) all payments under this Agreement are non-refundable, and are without any right of set-off or cancellation; and (d) any amount not paid when due will accrue interest on a daily basis until paid in full, at the lesser of the rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month and the highest amount permitted by applicable Law, after Customer has been notified in writing of such undue payments, and provided Customer has failed to settle such payments within fourteen days of the notice. Amounts payable under this Agreement are exclusive of all applicable sales, use, consumption, VAT, GST, and other taxes, duties or governmental charges, except for taxes based upon Dockit’s net income. In the event that Customer is required by any Law applicable to it to withhold or deduct taxes for any payment under this Agreement, then the amounts due to Dockit shall be increased by the amount necessary so that Dockit receives and retains, free from liability for any deduction or withholding, an amount equal to the amount it would have received had Customer not made any such withholding or deduction.
5.3. Payment Method and Processing. Unless expressly stated otherwise in the Order Form, Dockit only accepts payment via certain supported credit cards, and Customer represents that it is the authorized user of the card. Customer shall provide Dockit accurate and complete billing information, and agrees to promptly notify Dockit of any changes to the Customer’s billing information. For certain payment cards, there may be a temporary charge of $0.01 to verify the card’s validity (but this amount will be refunded as soon as the card is confirmed). Customer authorizes Dockit (either directly or through third parties) to request and collect payment (and otherwise charge, refund or take any other billing actions) from Customer on a recurring basis, including without limitation via Dockit’s payment provider or Customer’s designated banking account, and to make any inquiries Dockit deems necessary to validate Customer’s designated payment account or financial information, in order to ensure prompt payment (including for the purpose of receiving updated payment details from Customer’s payment, credit card or banking account provider – such as, updated expiry date or card number as may be provided to Dockit by Customer’s credit card company). Payment of Fees may be processed through a third-party payment processing Application (which will receive and process Customer’s billing information), and additional terms may apply to such payments.

As between the parties, Dockit is, and shall be, the sole and exclusive owner of all Intellectual Property Rights in and to: (a) the Application; and (b) any and all improvements, derivative works, modifications, and/or customizations of/to the Application, regardless of inventorship or authorship.

13.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between Dockit and Customer with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior and contemporaneous oral and/or written agreements, understandings and statements between Customer and Dockit with respect to such subject matter. Customer acknowledges and agrees that in entering into this Agreement it has not relied on any statement or representation (whether negligently or innocently made) not expressly set out in this Agreement, such as statements and explanations in any FAQs, summaries or explanatory guides regarding this Agreement, or other marketing material on the Dockit website. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between these terms and conditions on the one hand, and the Order Form on the other hand, the Order Form shall prevail. The Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reading only, and shall not to be used or relied upon for interpretive purposes.
13.2. Modifications to Agreement. Dockit may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement, with notice to Customer in accordance with Section 13.12 (Notices). Except as otherwise indicated below, modifications to this Agreement will take effect at the next renewal of your Subscription and will automatically apply as of the next Renewal Term (if any). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases (for example, to address compliance with Laws, or as necessary for new Features) Dockit may specify that such modifications become effective during Customer’s then-current Term. If the effective date of a modification is during Customer’s then-current Term, and the modification is material and adverse (that is, it expands Customer’s obligations and liabilities in a material way) and Customer objects to the modification, then, as Customer’s sole remedy, and Dockit’s sole obligation and liability, Customer may terminate the Agreement upon written notice to Dockit and receive a pro-rated refund of any pre-paid Fees hereunder based on the remaining period of the then-current Initial Term or Renewal Term (as the case may be); provided, however, that in order to exercise this right, Customer must provide Dockit with written notice of its objection and termination (which notice must include an explicit reference to the modification to which Customer objects) within thirty (30) days of Dockit’s notice of the modification.
13.3. Age Representation. Customer represents that it is at least thirteen (16) years old, but in any event of a legal age to form a binding contract. Children under the age of thirteen (16) are not permitted to purchase a Subscription or submit an Order Form. If Customer is between thirteen (16) and eighteen (18) years old, Customer’s review of (and any performance under) this Agreement must involve Customer’s parent or guardian.
13.4. Dockit Affiliates. At Dockit’s sole discretion, any Dockit obligation hereunder may be performed (in whole or in part), and any Dockit right or remedy may be exercised (in whole or in part), by an Dockit Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Dockit may assign its right to invoice and receive payments under this Agreement to an Dockit Affiliate.
13.5. GDPR. Customer hereby represents and warrants that it will: (i) provide all appropriate notices, (ii) obtain all required informed consents and/or have any and all ongoing legal bases, and (iii) comply at all times with any and all applicable privacy and data protection Laws (including, without limitation, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”)), for allowing Dockit to use and use Customer Data in accordance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provision of such Customer Data to Dockit (or access thereto) and the transfer of such Customer Data by Dockit to its Affiliates, and subcontractors, including transfers outside of the European Economic Area), for the provision of the Application and the performance of this Agreement. To the extent that Customer is an entity and is providing or making available to Dockit via the Application personal data that requires a data processing agreement, Customer shall obtain Dockit’s Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) available at: getDockit.com/legal/data-processing-agreement, and return it signed to Dockit as described therein. In the event Customer fails to comply with any data protection or privacy Law (such as the GDPR) and/or any provision of the DPA, and/or fails to return an executed version of the DPA to Dockit, then: (a) to the maximum extent permitted by law, Customer shall be solely and fully responsible and liable for any such breach, violation, infringement, and/or processing of personal data without a DPA by Dockit and/or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, their respective employees, officers, directors, subcontractors and agents); (b) in the event of any claim of any kind related to any such breach, violation, or infringement, and/or any claim related to processing or use of personal data without a DPA, Customer shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify Dockit and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, their employees, officers, directors, subcontractors and agents) from and against any and all losses, penalties, fines, damages, liabilities, settlements, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees; and (c) any limitations on, or exclusions of, of Customer’s liability under this Agreement shall not apply in connection with the above subparagraphs (a) and (b).
13.6. Assignment. Dockit may assign this Agreement (or any of its rights and/or obligations hereunder) without Customer’s consent, and without notice or obligation to Customer. This Agreement is personal to Customer, and Customer shall not assign (or in any other way transfer) this Agreement (or any of its obligations or rights hereunder) without Dockit’s express prior written consent. Any prohibited assignment shall be null and void.
13.7. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, then: (a) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) the Parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace the provision with a provision that is legal, valid and enforceable and that most closely approximates the original legal intent and economic impact of such provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified in respect of such jurisdiction. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it as aforesaid, then such provision will be ineffective solely as to such jurisdiction (and only to the extent and for the duration of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability), and will be substituted (in respect of such jurisdiction) with a valid, legal and enforceable provision that most closely approximates the original legal intent and economic impact of such provision.
13.8. Third-Party Software Rights. If Customer’s authorized use of the Application results in any software code being distributed to Customer, and such software code is owned by a third party (“Third Party Software“), and is subject to its own licensing terms or notices (“Third Party Software Terms“) that render ineffective (or otherwise prohibit) any usage restrictions in this Agreement, then nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit (and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting) Customer from engaging in such restricted uses.
13.9. Remedies. Except as may be expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement, no right or remedy conferred upon or reserved by any party under this Agreement is intended to be, or shall be deemed, exclusive of any other right or remedy under this Agreement, at law or in equity, but shall be cumulative of such other rights and remedies.
13.10. Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Any waiver granted hereunder must be in writing (for waivers by Customer, emails will be acceptable; for waivers by Dockit, the writing must be duly signed by an authorized representative of Dockit), and shall be valid only in the specific instance in which given.
13.11. Relationship. The relationship of the parties is solely that of independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any employment, fiduciary, joint venture, agency or other relationship between the parties.
13.12. Notices. Customer agrees that Dockit may send Customer notices by email, via Customer’s Account, by regular mail, and/or via postings on or through the functionality of the Application. Except as stated otherwise in this Agreement or required by Law applicable to Customer, Customer agrees to send all notices to Dockit, to info@getDockit.com.
13.13. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (such as Dockit Affiliates), there shall be no third-party beneficiaries of or under this Agreement.
13.14. Canadian Government Rights. The Application is “commercial computer software” and the Documentation is “commercial computer software documentation,” pursuant to DFAR Section 227.7202 and FAR Section 12.212, as applicable.
