Single Sign-On.
You may have the option of logging into and/or linking your online ProduceIQ
account by providing your log-in information for certain third-party
services. If you choose to use these single sign-on features, we may access,
handle, and store content and information that you have provided through or
that is tied to the applicable third-party service account. These features
may require us to implement cookies, plug-ins, and APIs provided by the
applicable third parties.
-
Analytics, Advertising, and Retargeting Services.
We may allow others to serve advertisements, on our behalf, across the
Internet and to provide analytics services. These entities may use cookies,
web beacons and other technologies to collect information about your use of
the Platform and other websites, including your IP address, web browser,
pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked and conversion information.
As further discussed below, this information may be used by ProduceIQ and
others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the
popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to
your interests on our Platform and other websites and better understand your
online activity.
The Platform uses third-party analytics tools, including Google Analytics, to
collect and process data about your use of the Platform, including when you
visit the Platform, URLs of the websites that you visit prior to visiting
the Platform and when you visit those websites, and IP addresses assigned to
the devices from where you access the Internet. Our analytics providers may
set and read cookies to collect this data and your web browser will
automatically send data collected by those cookies to our analytics
providers. Our analytics providers use this data to provide us with reports
that we will use to improve the Platform’ structure and content.
For more information on how Google Analytics uses this data, visit Google’s
Privacy Policy and Google’s page on How Google uses data when you use our
partners' sites or apps. To prevent this data from being used by Google
Analytics, follow the instructions to download and install the Google
Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each browser you use. Using the Google
Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on will not prevent Company from using other
analytics tools and will not prevent data from being sent to the Platform
themselves or to Google.
We may enable and implement the following Google Analytics Advertising
Features: Remarketing with Analytics, Demographics and Interest reporting,
Campaign Manager integration, Display & Video 360 integration, Google
Display Network (GDN) Impression Reporting, and Segments. Remarketing with
Analytics uses Google Analytics cookies to serve advertisements to you
across the Internet based on your visits to the Platform. Demographics and
Interest reporting uses a third-party cookie to collect information about
Platform traffic by tracking users across websites and across time, which
generates a report for us to better understand users of our Platform.
Campaign Manager integration allow us to view, analyze, and create
remarketing lists using our Campaign Manager data in Google Analytics.
Display & Video 360 integration allows us to create remarketing lists in
Google Analytics and have those lists available in Display & Video 360.
Google Display Network (“GDN”) Impression Reporting allows us to measure the
impact of unclicked GDN Display ad impressions on website behavior and
conversions. Segments allows us to isolate and analyze subsets of Platform
users by sorting our Google Analytics data.
To opt out of remarketing advertising provided through Google, to customize
your ad preferences, or to limit Google’s collection or use this
information, visit Google’s Safety Center and Google’s Ad Settings and
follow Google’s personalized ad opt-out instructions. Opting out will not
affect your use of the Platform.
From time to time the Platform may use or participate in advertising networks
and related advertising services that are managed and provided by
third-party advertising servers, advertising agencies, technology vendors,
and research firms. These services collect information about your visits to
and interactions with the Platform and other websites and will use that
information to target advertisements for goods and services. The information
collected may be associated with your personal information. These targeted
advertisements may appear on the Platform or on other websites.
Advertising networks often gather data about consumers who view
advertisements to make inferences about a consumer’s interests and
preferences, which enables their computers to deliver advertisements
directly targeted to the consumer’s specific interests. This practice is
often referred to as “online behavioral advertising.” For example, a
third-party advertising network might collect the type of web browser you
use, the type of computer operating system you use, the domain name of a
website you visit, whether or not you visit specific pages of the Platform
and other websites, the location of your Internet service provider, the date
and time of a visit to a website, and other interactions between you and a
website.
For more information about Internet-based ads and online behavioral
advertising, or to opt out of having your web browsing information used for
behavioral advertising purposes, please visit
www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp and
www.aboutads.info/choices. Please remember that changing your settings with
individual web browsers or ad networks will not necessarily carry over to
other browsers or ad networks. As a result, depending on the opt-outs you
request, you may still see our ads or third-party ads from time to time.
-

ProduceIQ takes reasonable measures designed to help protect information

whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, “Dispute”), then
you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a

United States. Both parties acknowledge and agree that the U.N. Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to the license of
the Platform hereunder. You acknowledge that ProduceIQ’s rights and your

damages alone, such that ProduceIQ shall be entitled to injunctive or other
equitable relief (without the obligation of posting any bond or surety) in the
event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you. You irrevocably waive all
rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief and agree to limit your
claims to claims for money damages (if any). To the extent an action at law is

directors, members, managers, shareholders, agents, vendors, licensors,
licensees, contractors, customers, successors, and assigns (collectively,
“ProduceIQ Parties”) hereby disclaim and make no representations, warranties,
endorsements, or promises, express or implied, including any warranty of

as to:

ProduceIQ Parties hereby disclaim all warranties, express, implied, or
otherwise, including the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, non-infringement or misappropriation of intellectual
property rights of third parties, title, custom, trade, quiet enjoyment,
system integration, and freedom from computer virus, as well as those

endorse any user-generated content. All user-generated content is solely the

services mentioned on or made available via the platform. Additionally, you
acknowledge and agree that the platform and access thereto may be subject to
limitations, delays, and other problems inherent in the use of the internet,

ProduceIQ is not responsible for any delays, inaccuracies, delivery
failures, or other failures or damage resulting from those problems or any
other problems outside of ProduceIQ’s reasonable and direct control,

-
Limitations of Liability.
Under no circumstances will any ProduceIQ Parties be responsible or liable
for any loss or damages of any kind, including personal injury or death or
for any direct, indirect, economic, exemplary, special, punitive,
incidental, or consequential losses or damages that are directly or
indirectly related to or that arise from:
- the Platform (including the Content and the User-Generated Content);
- your use of or inability to use the Platform, or the performance of the
Platform;
- any action taken in connection with an investigation by ProduceIQ

defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer line, or network
failure or any other technical or other malfunction, including losses or
damages in the form of lost profits, loss of goodwill, loss of data,
work stoppage, accuracy of results, or equipment failure or malfunction;
and
- any products or services mentioned on or made available via the
Platform.
The foregoing limitations of liability will apply even if any of the
foregoing events or circumstances were foreseeable and even if ProduceIQ
Parties were advised of or should have known of the possibility of such
losses or damages, regardless of whether you bring an action based in
contract, negligence, strict liability, or tort (including whether caused,
in whole or in part, by negligence, acts of god, telecommunications failure,
or destruction of the Platform).
Without limiting the foregoing, in no event will ProduceIQ Parties’ total
liability to you, for all possible damages, losses, and causes of action in
connection with your access to and use of the platform and these terms,
exceed an amount equal to the amount you have paid ProduceIQ for the
services that underlie the claim(s).
- Waiver of Injunctive or Other Equitable Relief. If you claim that you have
incurred any loss, damages, or injuries in connection with your use of the
Platform, then the losses, damages, and injuries will not be irreparable or
sufficient to entitle you to an injunction or to other equitable relief of any
kind. This means that, in connection with your claim, you agree that you will
not seek, and that you will not be permitted to obtain, any court or other
action that may interfere with or prevent the development or exploitation of any
website, application, Content, User-Generated Content, product, service, or
intellectual property owned, licensed, used or controlled by ProduceIQ or a
licensor of ProduceIQ.
- Updates to Terms. These Terms, and any applicable Additional Terms, in the form
posted at the time of your use of the applicable services to which they apply,
shall govern such use. As our Platform evolves, the terms and conditions under
which we offer the platform may prospectively be modified and we may cease
offering the Platform under the Terms or Additional Terms for which they were
previously offered. Accordingly, each time you sign in to or otherwise use the
platform, you are entering into a new agreement with us on the then-applicable
terms and you agree that we may notify you of other or modified terms by posting
them on the Platform, and that your use of the Platform after such notice
constitutes your going-forward agreement to the other or modified terms with
respect to your use and transactions. Therefore, you should review the posted
Terms and any applicable Additional Terms each time you use the Platform.
Modified Terms will be effective to your use and transactions as of the time
that we post them, or such later date as may be specified in them or in other
notice to you. However, the Terms (and any applicable Additional Terms) that
applied when you previously used the Platform will continue to apply to such
prior use unless mutually agreed. In the event any notice to you of new, revised
or additional terms is determined by a tribunal to be insufficient, the prior
agreement shall continue until sufficient notice to establish a new agreement
occurs. You can reject any new, revised or Terms by discontinuing all use of the
Platform and related services.

to have been granted by ProduceIQ without being in writing and signed by an
officer of ProduceIQ.

the relationship described in the Supplier’s Marketing Agreement, these Terms do
not create any agency, partnership, joint venture relationship, other form of
joint enterprise, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the parties,
their affiliates, or their respective employees, contractors, or agents.
- Indemnity. You agree to, and you hereby, defend, indemnify, and hold ProduceIQ
Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs,
investigations, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements, interest,
and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that directly or indirectly arise from
or are related to any claim, suit, action, demand, or proceeding made or brought
against any ProduceIQ Party, or on account of the investigation, defense, or
settlement thereof, arising out of or in connection with, whether occurring
heretofore or hereafter: (i) User-Generated Content you provide; (ii) your
access to and use of the Platform and your activities in connection with the
Platform; (iii) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms or any Additional
Terms; (iv) your violation or alleged violation of any laws, rules, regulations,
codes, statutes, ordinances, or orders of any governmental or quasi-governmental
authorities in connection with your access to or use of the Platform or your
activities in connection with the Platform; (v) information or material
transmitted through your Device, even if not provided by you, that infringes,
violates, or misappropriates any copyright, trademark, trade secret, trade
dress, patent, publicity, privacy, or other right of any person or entity; (vi)
any misrepresentation made by you, including any product specification
misrepresentation; (vii) ProduceIQ Parties’ use or disclosure of the information
that you provide (including User-Generated Content); (viii) your provisions or
sale of, or your order or purchase of, products through the Platform; and (ix)
your negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud (all of the foregoing, “Claims and
Losses”). You will fully cooperate as required by ProduceIQ Parties in the
defense of any Claim and Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ProduceIQ
Parties retain the exclusive right to settle, compromise, and pay any and all
Claims and Losses. ProduceIQ Parties reserve the right to assume the exclusive

Losses without, in each instance, the prior written consent of an officer of
ProduceIQ.

responsible for compliance with applicable local laws regarding your online
conduct and acceptable content, if and to the extent local laws apply. The
Platform may describe products and services that are available only in the
U.S.A. and are not available worldwide. We reserve the right to limit the
availability of the Platform and/or the provision of any content, program,
product, service, or other feature described or available on the Platform to any

as set forth in FAR section 52.227-19 (or any equivalent or subsequent agency
regulation thereof), any use, modification, reproduction, release, performance,
display, disclosure or distribution thereof by or for the U.S. Government shall
be governed solely by these Terms and shall be prohibited except to the extent
expressly permitted by these Terms.
- Connectivity. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all Devices and
other equipment and software, and all internet service provider, mobile service,
and other services needed for your access to and use of the Platform and you
will be responsible for all charges related to them.
- Severability; Interpretation. If any provision of these Terms, or any Additional
Terms, is for any reason deemed invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a
court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be
deemed severed from these Terms or the Additional Terms, and the invalidity of
the provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of
these Terms or the Additional Terms, which will remain in full force and effect.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to waive, and you hereby
waive, any applicable statutory and common law that may permit a contract to be
construed against its drafter. Wherever the word “including” is used in these
Terms or any Additional Terms, the word will be deemed to mean “including,
without limitation.” The summaries of provisions and section headings are
provided for convenience only and shall not limit or affect the Terms or the
interpretation thereof.
- Communications. When you communicate with us electronically, such as via e-mail
and text message, you consent to receive communications from us electronically.

you may not delegate your duties under them, without the prior written consent
of an officer of ProduceIQ.
- No Waiver. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms or any Additional Terms,
(i) no failure or delay by you or ProduceIQ in exercising any of rights, powers,
or remedies under will operate as a waiver of that or any other right, power, or
remedy, and (ii) no waiver of any term of these Terms or any Additional Terms
will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the
waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.
