These TERMS OF SERVICE (this “Agreement”) are made by and between Gingr, LLC (“Gingr” or “Company”) and “Customer”, which is the entity or other organization who places an order (whether by way of an executed document or via an online order submitted through the Platform whereby payment is taken) with Gingr seeking to access and use the Services (an “Order”). All access to and use of the Services available through the Platform is subject to this Agreement and any Order. Gingr and Customer may be referred to in this Agreement individually as a “Party” or together as the “Parties”.
In addition to this Agreement and any Order, Customer’s access to and use of the Platform and Services is subject to Gingr’s then-current policies relating to the Platform and Services, which are posted to the Platform or otherwise provided to Customer (“Policies”).

Company shall invoice Customer for fees, reimbursements, charges, and expenses, including, without limitation, fees passed on from third parties or incurred by Company that directly relate to Customer’s utilization of Services, in each case, which are set forth in this Agreement, on the relevant Order, or published on the Site (collectively, “Fees”), at the frequency and in the manner set forth on the applicable Order; provided, that, unless otherwise set forth on the Order: (i) invoicing shall be monthly, in advance; (ii) payment shall be in U.S. Dollars; (iii) billing begins at the beginning of the Subscription Term; (iv) billing for each additional Customer location shall begin as soon as Customer formally requests the addition of such location to Company; and (v) Company may increase any Fee, at any time, by providing Customer with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. For the avoidance of doubt, pricing set forth on an Order shall control over pricing published on the Site. Unless specifically set forth herein or on any Order, all Fees are non-refundable and non-cancelable, regardless of whether Customer elects to discontinue use of the Services during a Subscription Term.
- Discounts. Customer may receive volume, exclusivity, or other conditional discounts as reflected on an Order. Customer understands and agrees that it will forfeit such discounts if it fails to maintain the eligibility conditions set forth in the relevant Order and, following such forfeiture, unless otherwise expressly set forth in such Order, will be billed at the then-current rates for the applicable Services.
- Late Payments. If Customer is not current on payment for any Services, Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate Customer’s access to such Services until such amounts are paid in full. In such case, Company will provide Customer advance written notice and an opportunity to cure before taking such action. In addition, Company may charge Customer interest on any amounts more than thirty (30) days past due equal to the lesser of (a) 1.5% per month, and (b) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under Applicable Law.
- Taxes. Except as otherwise set forth in an Order, if and to the extent any payments due by Customer to Company hereunder are subject to any applicable value added, goods and services, sales, use, consumption, or other similar taxes imposed by a governmental authority (“Taxes”) arising from Company’s performance of the Services for which Customer is responsible under Applicable Law, Company may charge and Customer shall pay such Taxes; provided, that such Taxes are separately stated, and the invoice therefor identifies the relevant jurisdiction and the Services subject to such Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company will not invoice Customer for Taxes where Customer provides Company with a valid direct pay or exemption certificate.
- CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. “Confidential Information” is any information and materials disclosed or made available by or on behalf of one Party (“Discloser”) to the other Party (“Recipient”), that is designated as confidential or is reasonably expected to be confidential or proprietary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, trade secrets, business, technical, and financial information not generally known to the public, such as business plans, strategies, practices, products, and Personnel-related data; and in the case of Customer, Customer Content and Personal Data. Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) Recipient rightfully possessed without a duty of confidentiality before obtaining it from Discloser; (b) is or becomes generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Recipient; (c) Recipient received on an unrestricted basis from a source other than Discloser, and not under a duty of confidentiality; or (d) Recipient developed independently, without reference, in whole or in part, to Discloser’s Confidential Information. Each Party shall maintain in confidence and protect the other’s Confidential Information from any unauthorized disclosure, access, use, destruction, alteration, or loss, using at least the same standard of care it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but no less than a reasonable degree of care. Recipient shall not, nor permit any person or entity to use, copy, or disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information to any person or entity other than (a) to Recipient’s Affiliates and authorized Personnel as strictly necessary for Recipient to perform or receive the Services or to comply with this Agreement or Applicable Law, or (b) to legal counsel, accountants, banks, other financing sources, and advisors as strictly necessary for such parties to advise or perform services on behalf of Recipient (such persons, “Authorized Persons”). Recipient (a) shall ensure that its Authorized Persons with access to Discloser’s Confidential Information are bound by substantially similar confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth in this Section 4 and (b) is liable to Discloser for the failure of Recipient’s Authorized Persons to comply with this Section 4 to the same extent that Recipient would have been had Recipient failed to comply. Recipient shall, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, (a) promptly notify Discloser if any Applicable Law or a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction requires or requests Recipient to disclose any of Discloser’s Confidential Information, and (b) use reasonable efforts to allow Discloser an opportunity to seek injunctive relief from, or a protective order with respect to, the contemplated disclosure, at Discloser’s cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient (a) may disclose only that portion of Discloser’s Confidential Information that Recipient’s counsel advises is not subject to privilege and must be disclosed, and (b) shall, at Discloser’s expense and to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, cooperate with Discloser to ensure the disclosed Confidential Information is treated in a confidential manner. Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information constitutes unique and valuable assets of Discloser. Each Party each further acknowledges that, because of the unique nature of the Confidential Information, monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate Discloser for any breach by Recipient of its covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 4. Accordingly, each Party agrees and acknowledges that any violation of the terms of this Section 4 may cause irreparable damage to Discloser and, therefore, that in addition to any other legal remedies or equitable relief available to Discloser for any breach of this Section 4, Discloser shall be entitled to seek, from a court of appropriate jurisdiction, specific performance in the form of injunctive relief to prevent, inhibit, or enjoin any actual, suspected, or threatened violation of the terms of this Section 4 by Recipient or its Authorized Persons, without the necessity of posting a bond. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, or upon the earlier written request of Discloser (email to suffice), Recipient shall promptly destroy any Confidential Information received in written, electronic, or other tangible form, including all copies and electronic reproductions thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4 shall require the alteration, modification, deletion, or destruction of back-up tapes or other comparable electronic records made in the ordinary course of business pursuant to Recipient’s or its Authorized Persons’ respective electronic information systems. Additionally, Recipient shall only be required to use reasonable efforts to search for and destroy copies of routine emails between Authorized Persons, but shall not be required to conduct exhaustive electronic discovery for emails that do not contain attachments containing Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the destruction or deletion of Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 4 by Recipient and its Authorized Persons, Recipient and its Authorized Persons shall continue to be bound by the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 4 with respect to any Confidential Information retained or archived, for the duration of the survival periods specified in this Section 4. Recipient’s obligations under this Section 4 regarding Discloser’s Confidential Information terminates two (2) years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, except that Recipient’s obligations survive (i) in perpetuity for backed up Personal Data, and (ii) for Confidential Information that is a trade secret, for as long as such Confidential Information is a trade secret under Applicable Law.
- DATA AND SECURITY.
- Data Processing. The Parties agree to comply with (i) all Applicable Law with respect to collecting, processing, accessing, sharing, storing, and disposing of Personal Data, and (ii) the terms of the Data Processing Agreement.
- Security. To protect Customer Content, Company shall (a) implement and maintain administrative, technical, physical, and organizational safeguards regarding security, continuation, backup, and disaster-recovery that are consistent with industry standards and practices and comply with Applicable Law, and (b) only access and use Customer’s Systems to the extent necessary to provide or improve the Platform or Services.
- Usage Restrictions. Except as: (a) expressly permitted under this Agreement or any Order; (b) requested or approved in writing by Customer (email to suffice), including in connection with any customer support matters; (c) in order to provide or improve the Platform or Services, including to prevent or address any service or technical problems; (d) in order to develop and test new features and services; or (e) compelled by law in accordance with Section 4 (Confidential Information), Company shall not access or modify Customer Content, or disclose Customer Content to any third party.
- Use of Aggregated Anonymous Data. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Company may (i) collect information to generate, and process, Aggregated Anonymous Data, and (ii) freely use and make available Aggregated Anonymous Data for the purpose of operating the Platform and marketing it to other similar customers (including without limitation, for purposes of improving, testing, operating, promoting, and marketing Company’s current and future products and services). Company is and will remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest in and to all Aggregated Anonymous Data, including all Intellectual Property Rights related thereto, and may freely use all Aggregated Anonymous Data during the term of this Agreement and thereafter.

- INDEMNIFICATION.
- Indemnification by Company. Company shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Customer, its Affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents, from and against any and all liabilities, losses, claims, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and any applicable fines or penalties (collectively, “Losses”) arising from any third-party claim, suit, action, or proceeding (each, a “Third-Party Claim”): (a) alleging that the Technology infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates or conflicts with Applicable Law or such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights; (b) arising from Company’s breach of its obligations under Section 5 (Data and Security); and (c) arising from Company’s breach of its representations or warranties hereunder and/or Company’s and/or its Personnel’s failure to comply with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Customer understands and agrees that Company (nor its Affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents) shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever to Customer (nor its Affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents) under this Section 8.1 or otherwise with respect to any Third-Party Claim based upon or resulting from: (i) any use of the Technology not strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, any Order, or any Documentation; (ii) alterations, combinations, or enhancements of the Platform or Services not created by Company, including without limitation, the use of any Third-Party Applications; (iii) any portion of the Technology specific to Customer, or which implements any specific requirements requested by Customer; (iv) Customer’s use of any prior, unsupported versions of the Platform, after being provided with updated versions thereto; or (v) any Intellectual Property Right in which Customer (or its Affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents) has an interest (each, an “Uncovered Use”).
- Corrective Solutions for Infringing Materials. If the Technology, or any part thereof, is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third-party Intellectual Property Right, or Company determines in good faith that the Technology, or any part thereof, may so infringe, misappropriate, or violate, Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to either, at no additional cost to Customer, (a) promptly replace or modify the Technology, or (b) obtain a license for Customer to continue to utilize the Technology (collectively, the “Corrective Solutions”). If Company is unsuccessful with such Corrective Solutions, Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement (and any outstanding Order(s)) and relieve both Parties of any further rights and obligations hereunder and thereunder, and Company shall provide a pro-rata refund to Customer for any portion of a Subscription Term that was prepaid but unused. The Parties agree that, except for its obligations under Section 8.1 (Indemnification by Company), the Corrective Solutions and the foregoing refund shall be Customer’s sole remedy with respect to such infringement, misappropriation, or violation. This Section 8.2 shall not apply to the extent such infringement, violation, or misappropriation arises, in whole or in part, from any Uncovered Use.

Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Company, its Affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents, from and against any and all Losses arising from any Third-Party Claim (a) alleging that any Customer Content infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates or conflicts with Applicable Law or such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, and (b) arising from Customer’s breach of its representations or warranties hereunder and/or Customer’s and/or its Personnel’s failure to comply with Applicable Law.
- Indemnification Procedure. The Party seeking indemnification under Section 8.1 (Indemnification by Company) or Section 8.3 (Indemnification by Customer), as applicable (the “Indemnitee”) will provide the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) with prompt written notice of any Third-Party Claim for which it believes it is entitled to indemnification thereunder; provided, that, the Indemnitee’s failure to provide prompt written notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations thereunder unless such failure materially prejudices the Indemnitor’s ability to defend the Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitor shall promptly take control of the defense and investigation of such Third-Party Claim and shall employ counsel approved by the Indemnitee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, to handle and defend the same, and, subject to Section 9.2 (Limitations of Liability), at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings, at its own cost and expense, with counsel of its own choosing. Indemnitor shall not settle any Third-Party Claim without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned; provided, that Indemnitor may settle such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnitee’s consent where both (i) the Indemnitor does not cause the Indemnitee to admit any fault, and (ii) the Indemnitor pays for the entire amount of any Losses arising from such Third-Party Claim.

In the event the Dispute is not resolved in said mediation, the Parties agree to submit to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in the State of Delaware in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS, which shall administer the arbitration. If the Parties agree (email to suffice), arbitration hereunder may be held remotely. In the event of arbitration, each Party will bear its own costs of such arbitration, including its own attorney’s fees and its equal share of arbiter fees. The Parties will hold the existence, content, and results of the arbitration in confidence. The arbiter shall not consider punitive damages. The arbiter does not have the authority to alter or modify the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party reserves the right to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in court to prevent or stop a breach of this Agreement or a violation of rights either Party has under law, at its own expense, including attorney’s fees.
- Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with applicable United States federal law and the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The Parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of, and waive any venue objections against, the federal and state courts of the State of Delaware for any claim, suit, action, proceeding, or other form of litigation of any kind (“Action”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity, or performance of this Agreement.
- Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.
- Statute of Limitations. No Action may be brought or asserted by one Party (nor its Affiliates or their respective Personnel, officers, directors, partners, or shareholders) against the other Party (nor its Affiliates or their respective Personnel, officers, directors, partners, or shareholders) under this Agreement more than one year after the cause of such Action became known to the potential claimant or should have been known to the claimant based on the surrounding circumstances.
- Entire Agreement; Conflict. This Agreement, including (i) any Order, (ii) any schedules and exhibits hereto, (iii) any Policies, and (iv) any Customer-issued purchase order that is approved by Company (“Purchase Order”), constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, quotes, understandings, and communications, whether written or oral. Each of the foregoing (i)-(iv) shall be deemed incorporated into, and governed by, this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no “click-wrap” or online terms on Customer’s website or linked on any Purchase Order shall apply. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any of the foregoing, the order of precedence shall be: (a) this Agreement, (b) the DPA, (c) an Order, (d) any schedules or exhibits hereto, (e) any Policies, and (f) any Purchase Order. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) no Order may amend, modify, limit, or expand the terms of this Agreement, unless this Agreement expressly permits such amendment, modification, limitation, or expansion, and (ii) no Purchase Order may amend, modify, limit, or expand the terms of this Agreement or any Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Customer executed an Order prior to the ‘Updated’ date at the top of this Agreement, which contained a link to a prior version of Gingr’s online terms of service (“Prior Version”) (a) that set forth Customer’s initial Subscription Term, the length of Customer’s initial Subscription Term shall remain as set forth in the Prior Version, or (b) that provided that subscription Fees would remain unchanged during Customer’s then-current Subscription Term, the foregoing terms from the Prior Version shall continue to apply to Customer, but all other terms of this Agreement shall govern, including, for the avoidance of doubt, for any renewals of Customer’s initial Subscription Term.
- Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent an unforeseeable event, including a natural disaster, act of God, pandemic, epidemic, fire, act of war or terrorism, riot, acts of civil or military authority, action or inaction of any third-party (excluding such Party’s Personnel, officers, directors, partners, and shareholders), failure or malfunction of any third-party System, or other unforeseeable occurrence beyond such Party’s reasonable control, or any related governmental, judicial, or other third-party action taken in connection with, or as a response to the event (a “Force Majeure Event”) that makes it impossible for a Party to perform or comply with its obligations; provided, that (a) the affected Party make all reasonable efforts to comply with its obligations despite the occurrence and, (b) as soon as reasonably practicable, notifies the other Party of the occurrence, its expected duration, and its impact on the affected Party’s performance. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.9 to the contrary, Customer shall not be relieved of any payment obligations arising as a result of a Force Majeure Event; provided, that the Services were rendered or made available to Customer.
- Construction. The words “including,” “include,” and “includes” are not limiting and are to be read as not limiting the generality of the proceeding subject matter. “Reasonable efforts” means, with respect to a given obligation, the efforts that a reasonable and prudent person would use in similar circumstances to perform the obligations as promptly as possible, consistent with its normal business practices and good-faith business judgment, including the incurrence of reasonable expenditures or liabilities.
- Currency. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in an Order with respect to Fees only, all amounts due hereunder and thereunder, including with respect to indemnification obligations, shall be calculated and paid in U.S. dollars.
- Independent Contractors. The relationship of the Parties is as independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the Parties. Each Party shall retain responsibility for and control over all aspects of its relationship with its respective customers and its own business, products, and services.
- Severability. If a provision of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable by a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction, then that provision is to be construed either by modifying it to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable (if permitted by Applicable Law) or disregarding it (if not so permitted). All other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.
- Waiver. No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege hereunder. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Party against whom it is to be enforced.
2.2.1. Account. Within one business day after Customer enters into or submits its initial Order, Customer will be granted access to the Platform and Services through an electronic account (“Account”) (to the extent that Customer’s Account has not been previously established). Customer may authorize designated employees within Customer’s organization to access the Services through Customer’s Account (each such individual, as applicable, a “User” of the Account).

Each User ID is personal in nature and may be used only by the applicable User.

Customer will not allow any access to or use of the Services by anyone other than Customer’s authorized Users, and any such use will be consistent with the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
2.2.4. Restrictions on Customer Content. Customer will be solely responsible for all Customer Content generated through Customer’s Account, or that Company may receive, collect, or obtain through Customer’s use of the Platform or Services. While this Agreement is in effect, Customer grants to Company a limited, revocable, non-sublicensable license in and to Customer Content, for the sole purpose of Company provided the Services or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. As between Customer and Company, Customer owns and retains all of Customer’s rights in and to Customer Content and does not convey any proprietary interest therein to Company other than the licenses set forth herein. Customer represents and warrants that none of the Customer Content or the use of Customer Content: (a) violates this Agreement or any Applicable Laws; (b) is libelous, defamatory, obscene, abusive, pornographic, threatening, or an invasion of privacy; (c) constitutes an infringement, misappropriation, or violation of the rights of any third party; (d) is illegal or advocates illegal activity; (e) is an advertisement or solicitation of funds, goods, or services; (f) is false, misleading, or inaccurate; or (g) is or could be considered junk mail, spam, a part of a pyramid scheme, a disruptive commercial message, or disruptive advertisement.

Company may take remedial action(s) if any Customer Content violates the terms of this Agreement, including deletion of any Customer Content from the Platform; provided, that Company is under no obligation to review any Customer Content for accuracy, completion, or potential violation of this Agreement, Applicable Laws, or the rights of any third party. Customer represents and warrants to Company that Customer has all necessary right, title, interest, and/or consent necessary for the purposes for which Customer provides Customer Content to Company, including the transfer, storage, modification, communication, and sharing of Customer Content as contemplated by this Agreement and any Order.
