The Service-Specific Terms may include additional Customer obligations and restrictions with respect to the Customer Data to be provided by Customer with respect to a particular Sauce Service.  Customer is responsible for reviewing and complying with those Service-Specific Terms.

2.5 Uploads of Customer Data. When the Documentation requires Customer to upload Customer Data to Sauce Labs, such Customer Data shall be provided in a format consistent with the technical compatibility requirements set forth in the Documentation (or as otherwise specified by Sauce Labs) (“Technical Requirements”). Errors in loading Customer Data onto Sauce Labs systems due to defective media, erroneous data, or failure to meet Technical Requirements may be rejected by the Services or may be referred back to Customer for resolution and Sauce Labs shall have no responsibility for any related impact on Customer’s use of the applicable SaaS Service.

5. SUBSCRIPTION TERM, FEES & PAYMENT.

5.1 Subscription Term and Automatic Renewal. Unless otherwise terminated as set forth below, each Order Form will have the initial Subscription Term set forth thereon. If no initial Subscription Term is set forth in an Order Form, the initial Subscription Term for such Order Form will be one (1) year.  After the conclusion of the initial Subscription Term, unless specified otherwise on the Order Form, each Order Form will automatically renew for successive renewal terms of equal length to the initial Subscription Term, at Sauce Labs’ then-current fees for such Service, unless Customer provides Sauce Labs with at least thirty (30) days' notice of non-renewal.  By subscribing to the Services, Customer authorizes Sauce Labs to charge Customer the fees for the initial Subscription Term, and again at the beginning of any subsequent Subscription Term. Customer may cancel via the account administration tools provided within the Services.  If Customer cancels its subscription, Customer may continue to use the Services until the end of Customer’s then-current Subscription Term and Customer’s subscription will not be renewed after Customer’s then-current Subscription Term expires.  However, Customer will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the fees paid for the then-current Subscription Term.  

5.2 Fees and Payment. Unless otherwise specified in an Order Form, all fees are payable by Customer at the time of purchase (or on the date of renewal of the Subscription Term, as applicable). Use of the Services beyond agreed-to limits may subject Customer to overage fees at the rate set forth in the Order Form at the time of purchase. Except as expressly set forth in Sections 7.1  and 9.2, all fees are non-refundable. Any late payments shall be subject to a service charge equal to 1.5% per month of the amount due or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less. Except as otherwise set forth on an Order Form, all fees must be paid in US dollars.

5.3 Third Party Payment Processors. Sauce Labs may employ the use of third-party service providers for the purpose of facilitating payments and the completion of purchases. By submitting your payment information to Sauce Lab, you understand that Sauce Labs may share that information with such third parties subject to our Privacy Policy.

5.4 Adjustment of Fees.  Sauce Labs may adjust the fees charged to Customer hereunder on notice (electronic notice is sufficient) delivered to Customer at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Term (and such fees will take effect beginning on the next Subscription Term).

5.5 Taxes.  Unless taxes are expressly included, the payments required under this Agreement are exclusive of any sales, use or value added tax and any other equivalent tax (“Sales Tax”) that may be due in connection with the services provided under this Agreement.  If Sauce Labs determines it has a legal obligation to collect a Sales Tax from Customer in connection with this Agreement, Sauce Labs shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the payments required under this Agreement.  If payments for any Services under the Agreement are subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and Customer has not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Sauce Labs, Customer will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and Customer will indemnify Sauce Labs for any liability or expense Sauce Labs may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes.   Customer agrees to make all payments of fees to Sauce Labs free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes.  Any such taxes imposed on payments of fees to Sauce Labs will be Customer’s sole responsibility, and Customer will provide Sauce Labs with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as Sauce Labs may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.

5.6 Suspension of Service. If Customer's account is ten (10) days or more overdue, in addition to any of its other rights or remedies, Sauce Labs reserves the right to, with or without notice, suspend Customer’s access to the applicable Services without liability to Customer until such amounts are paid in full. 

5.7 Free Trials.   Any Free Trial that provides access to the Services must be used within the specified time of the Free Trial.  At the end of the Free Trial period, Customer’s use of that Service will expire, and any further use of the applicable Service is prohibited unless Customer pays the then-applicable subscription fee. Customer may be required to enter payment information to sign up for a Free Trial but will not be charged by Sauce Labs until the Free Trial has expired.

5.8 Audit. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to our Privacy Policy, Sauce Labs will have the right during the Subscription Term and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, at its own expense and no more than once per calendar year, to direct an independent certified public accounting firm to audit the Customer’s use of the Services in accordance with all applicable usage restrictions and the payment of amounts due hereunder, conducted during Customer’s regular business hours with five (5) days’ notice of the audit and in such a manner as not to interfere with Customer’s normal business activities. If such audit reveals that Customer is not using the Services in accordance with the material terms and conditions of this Agreement, Customer shall promptly cease such unauthorized use or take such other action as is necessary to comply with this Agreement, and Sauce Labs reserves the right to charge reasonable license fees for any such unauthorized use.  If such audit reveals that Customer has underpaid amounts due hereunder, Customer shall promptly pay the difference.  If the amount of the underpayment exceeds five percent (5%) of the amount owing during the applicable period, then Customer shall reimburse Sauce Labs for the reasonable costs of the audit. 

6. TERMINATION.

6.1 Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party: (a) fails to cure any material breach of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after written notice (ten (10) days in the case of non-payment or in the event Customer breaches any license or use restrictions) (provided that, in the event of Customer’s notice of breach with respect to the Services, such notice must: (i) be sufficiently detailed for Sauce Labs to verify and remedy the issue; and (ii) expressly state the intent to terminate); (b) ceases operation without a successor; or (c) insofar as permitted under applicable law, seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors’ arrangement, composition, or comparable proceeding, or if any such proceeding is instituted against that party (and such proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter). With respect to Customer’s breach of its payment obligations, or any license or use restrictions, electronic notice to Customer is sufficient hereunder. Termination of this Agreement will automatically terminate all Order Forms. This provision is without prejudice to any additional rights of termination afforded to either party pursuant to applicable law.

6.2 Effect of Termination. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement: (a) all licenses will immediately terminate and Customer shall immediately cease any and all use of and access to the Services (including any and all related Sauce Labs Technology) and, if applicable, erase all copies of Software from Customer’s systems; (b) any unpaid amounts owing to Sauce Labs will become immediately due and payable; and (c) each party will return to the other party or, at the disclosing party’s election, destroy such other party’s Confidential Information (subject to Section 6.3). Termination of this Agreement is not an exclusive remedy and the exercise of either party of any remedy under this Agreement will be without prejudice to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement, by law, or otherwise.

6.3Data Storage and Wind Down. Sauce Labs does not provide a data/content archiving service. Sauce Labs agrees only that it shall not intentionally delete any Customer Data which is less than thirty (30) days old.

Each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information it obtains (“Receiving Party”) from the disclosing party (“Disclosing Party”) constitutes the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure.  Any Sauce Labs Technology and any Order Form will be deemed Confidential Information of Sauce Labs without any marking or further designation. In addition, to the extent Customer has negotiated pricing with Sauce Labs, such pricing is Sauce Labs’ Confidential Information. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence (using reasonable methods or protection) and not use or disclose any Confidential Information. The Receiving Party’s nondisclosure obligation shall not apply to information which the Receiving Party can reasonably evidence: (a) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (b) is or has become generally available to the public through no fault of the Receiving Party; (c) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; (d) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information; or (e) is required to be disclosed pursuant to a regulation, law or court order (but only to the minimum extent required to comply with such regulation or order and with advance notice to the Disclosing Party). The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy.  Therefore, upon any such disclosure, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief (without the posting of a bond or similar instrument) in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law. 

11. PURCHASES THROUGH RESELLERS.  For Customers Who Purchase Services Through a Sauce Labs Authorized Partner:

12.18 German Domiciled Customers.  If Customer is domiciled in Germany: (a) Sections 7 (Limited Warranty), 8 (Limitations on Liability), and 10 (Confidential Information) do not apply to Customer and in their place, the provisions of Section 12.19, 12.20, and 12.21 shall apply; and (b) Customer’s indemnification obligations in Section 9.1 shall not apply in case Customer is not responsible (vertreten müssen) for the respective third-party claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities.

12.19 German Limitations on Liability.

a. Claims of Customer for reimbursement of expenditures and damages (collectively referred to as “Damages”) against Sauce Labs – regardless of their legal basis, in particular due to a culpable breach of obligations under the contractual relationship between Customer and Sauce Labs, or based on tort − are disclaimed, if and to the extent not explicitly regulated otherwise in this Section 12.19.

b. In the event of a breach of material contractual duties (“Cardinal Obligations”), Sauce Labs shall be liable towards Customer for reimbursement of Damages. Cardinal Obligations are all obligations whose breach would jeopardize the achievement of the contractual purpose, as well as all obligations whose fulfilment enables the proper performance of the Agreement in the first place and on compliance with which the Customer can generally rely. However, where a breach of a Cardinal Obligation is due only to slight negligence and does not result in injury to life, limb or health, Customer’s claims will be limited to Damages in the amount of the typically foreseeable damage.

c. Notwithstanding the above Sauce Labs shall also be liable to Customer in cases of intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, limb, or health, in accordance with the German Product Liability Act, as well as in all other cases of mandatory statutory liability, in each case in accordance with the statutory provisions. 

d. To the extent Sauce Labs’ liability is limited or disclaimed under the above provisions, this shall also apply to the personal liability of Sauce Labs’ legal representatives, employees, and vicarious agents.

12.20 German Warranty rights

The Customer's statutory defect rights shall be limited as follows:

a. Sauce Labs shall have no strict liability for initial material defects in the Service.

c. Sauce Labs shall remedy the defect in question within a reasonable period of time at its own discretion by repairing the defect, providing a workaround solution or delivering an update version and to make the Services available to the Customer free of defects accordingly.

d. If Sauce Labs has not successfully remedied a defect notified in accordance with Section 12.19(b) in accordance with Section 12.19(c) despite two reasonable grace periods, the Customer is entitled to terminate this Agreement.

e. Liability for any claims for damages shall be limited in accordance with Section 12.18. 

f. The parties agree that the assumption of a guarantee shall always require an express written commitment on the part of Sauce Labs in which the terms "guarantee" or "guaranteed" are used. 

g. This Section shall also apply to any updates, upgrades and new versions of the Services made available under this Agreement, provided and to the extent that such updates, upgrades and new versions do not constitute mere bug fixes.

12.21 German Confidential Information

Each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information it obtains (“Receiving Party”) from the disclosing party (“Disclosing Party”) constitutes the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure.  Any Sauce Labs Technology and any Order Form will be deemed Confidential Information of Sauce Labs without any marking or further designation. In addition, to the extent Customer has negotiated pricing with Sauce Labs, such pricing is Sauce Labs’ Confidential Information. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence (using reasonable methods or protection) and not use or disclose any Confidential Information and in any event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, will take all reasonable steps to keep the Confidential Information secret as required and to the extent required by section 2 No. 1 lit. b) of the German Act on the Protection of Trade Secrets (Geschäftsgeheimnis-Schutzgesetz).

The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy.  Therefore, upon any such disclosure, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief (without the posting of a bond or similar instrument) in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.
