2. Parties This Agreement is made between the Client accepting this Agreement, and NCX Inc., an Ontario corporation.
3. Formation of Contract This Agreement shall be deemed to be entered into by the parties upon confirmation by the Client of its acceptance of this Agreement by the Client’s utilization of the process and protocol for acceptance as set out in the Cojilio Portal, subject in all events to confirmation thereof by NCX as set out in such process and protocol.
4. Client’s Evaluation and Acceptance of App The Client confirms that it has had an opportunity to evaluate the Cojilio App and the associated Cojilio IP to its satisfaction, and therefore the Client’s acceptance of this agreement constitutes its acceptance of the Cojilio App for all purposes.
5. Restrictions On Use Of App The Client’s App and any associated Cojilio IP  are to be used and accessed only by the Client and the Client’s customers and suppliers (“End Users”) for the authorized purposes of managing their business interactions.

IMPLEMENTATION OF APP

6. Customization of App. Customization of the Cojilio App using the Cojilio Portal will be the responsibility of the Client, and NCX shall have no liability or obligation in connection therewith. The App as customized by the Client is referred to as the “Client’s App”.
7. Apple App Store In anticipation of submission by Cojilio of the Client’s App to Apple App Store, the Client shall enroll in the Apple Developer Program with respect to the Client’s App. The Client is directed to https://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/ for that purpose. The Client is responsible to take all steps and pay all such charges associated with obtaining and maintaining such status in good standing in order for the Client’s App to be available to the Client’s End Users. NCX recommends that, upon enrolling, the Client provide NCX with access to such account by inviting developer@cojilio.com as an admin; associated information can be found at https://developer.apple.com/support/roles/.
8. Google Play Store As of the date of this agreement NCX is able to submit the Client’s App to Google Play Store. If this capability changes in the future, NCX will notify the Client, and additional charges to the Client may apply.
9. Submission of App to Google and Apple Stores Subject to the foregoing, within seven days after the Client has given written notice to NCX of completion of customization of the Client’s App, NCX will submit the Client’s App to Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
10. Access to Cojilio Portal. At all times during the currency of this agreement, NCX shall provide the Cojilio Portal to manage the Cojilio App activities of the Client’s company, its employees, and End Users with respect to all services that are available to them using the Cojilio Apps.
11. Languages The Cojilio App is available for use only in the Available Languages identified from time to time on the Cojilio Portal.
12. Client Support Information The following client support information for the Cojilio App is available on the Cojilio Portal: User Guide

NCX SERVICE LEVEL COMMITMENT

13. Standard NCX will use reasonable efforts to make the services associated with use of the Cojilio App available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage of at least 99.975%.
14. Calculation “Monthly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of minutes during the month in which the included services, as applicable, were unavailable.
15. Definition “Unavailable” and “Unavailability” mean that the Cojilio Portal online service is inaccessible from authorized computers and mobile devices, and the root cause of this unavailability does not stem from infrastructure or service faults at the location(s) experiencing issues with the service.
16. Restrictions The following restrictions apply, and shall not be counted as unavailability:

– Circumstances or events not reasonably foreseeable or reasonably uncontrollable by NCX;
– Scheduled downtime’s (e.g. maintenance or update windows). Regular scheduled maintenance may occur weekly on Saturday morning between 7:00 am – 8:00 am Eastern Standard Time or Sunday evening between 11:00 pm – 1:00 am Eastern Standard Time.

SUPPORT SERVICES

17. Definition “Support” means the support services that NCX will provide to the Client for the Cojilio App in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement.
18. Customer and End User Support. In the event of any problem with the Client’s App or the Cojilio Portal, the Client and End Users may obtain support from NCX at support@cojilio.com or may contact NCX and request that NCX technical support staff provide technical or applications support via telephone to qualified the Client or End User service personnel.
19. NCX’s Responsibilities. NCX will provide Support during Business Hours to the Client as follows.
20.

NCX’s Director of Customer Services will be immediately notified of the situation. NCX’s goal is to return the Cojilio system to functional status within 24 Business Hours of NCX being notified of the failure. Once operation is restored, the final, permanent solution may require additional IP corrections and deliveries. If that is the case, it is NCX’s goal to provide the permanent solution within 72 Business Hours of NCX being notified of the failure.
21. Problem Severity Level 2 Where the problem impairs but does not interrupt the operation of the Client’s business but the Client NCX’s goal is to resolve the problem or reduce the impact to Problem Severity Level 3 within a period of 72 Business Hours of NCX being notified of the failure. If permanent solution of the problem requires IP correction or deliveries, it is NCX’s goal to provide the permanent solution within 90 days.
22. Problem Severity Level 3: Where the problem is immaterial to the operation of the Client’s business, NCX’s goal is to provide any necessary IP corrections in the next 90 days.
23. Problem Severity Level 4: Where the problem does not entail any operational issue but the need for a correction has been identified, NCX’s goal is to provide any necessary IP corrections in the next 180 days.
