LLUMIN, INC. MASTER SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

This LLumin, Inc. Master Subscription Agreement (“MSA”) is effective as of the effective date of an applicable signed proposal or LLumin Quote (such form an “Order Form” and such date the “Effective Date”) and is by and between LLumin, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation with a place of business at 293 Bridge Street, Suite 222 Springfield, MA 01103 (“LLumin, Inc.”), and the customer set forth on the Order Form (“Customer”) (each a “Party” and together the “Parties”). In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of the MSA and the terms of any Order Form, the terms of the Order Form control.  

Section 1. Services.

“Services” means the product(s) and service(s) that are ordered by Customer from LLumin, Inc. online or through an Order Form referencing this MSA, whether on a trial or paid basis, and to which LLumin, Inc. thereby provides access to Customer. Services exclude any products or services provided by third parties, even if Customer has connected those products or services to the Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this MSA, LLumin, Inc. will make the Services available during the Term as set forth in an Order Form.  

 

Section 2. Fees and Payment.  

2.1. Fees. Customer will pay the fees specified in the Order Form (the “Fees”). LLumin shall be entitled to increase the Fees for use of the Services on an annual basis for up to 5% of the then-payable Fees.  Any new or other professional deployment and support services after a period of ninety (90) days of go-live and acceptance of the Services by Customer shall be quoted as independent of the Fees and be payable on an hourly rate.  

2.2. Payment. LLumin, Inc. will invoice Customer for Fees, either within the Services or directly, within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date. Customer will pay all invoiced Fees net thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice unless otherwise specified. LLumin, Inc. reserves the right to stop work on any project that has undisputed invoices that are outstanding more than 90 days. Fees do not include local, state, federal, or country-specific taxes, including but not limited to Value Added Tax (VAT), Corporate Income Tax (CIT), or duties of any kind. Any such taxes shall be assumed and paid by Customer. LLumin, Inc. reserves the right to increase all fees due hereunder to cover any such tax liabilities, except for taxes based solely on LLumin, Inc.’s net income or receipts in its home jurisdiction.

2.3. Software Escrow (Optional). Customer may elect to participate in LLumin’s optional software escrow program. If elected, LLumin will enroll Customer as a beneficiary under LLumin’s existing Software Source Code Escrow Agreement with InnovaSafe, Inc., Agreement No. 30699. Customer is not a party to that agreement. Participation in escrow is voluntary and subject to an annual escrow participation fee of $2,000 payable to LLumin. LLumin remains solely responsible for all fees owed to InnovaSafe under its agreement with InnovaSafe. Upon enrollment, Customer will receive confirmation and access information directly from InnovaSafe.

3.4. Effect of Termination and Survival. Upon termination or cancellation of an Order Form or this MSA (a) with respect to termination of the entire MSA, all Order Forms will concurrently terminate, (b) Customer will have no further right to use the Services under the terminated or canceled Order Forms and LLumin, Inc. will remove Customer’s access to same, and (c) unless otherwise specified in writing, Customer will not be entitled to any refund of fees paid.

6.1. Definitions. “Service Data” means a subset of Confidential Information comprised of electronic data, text, messages, communications, or other materials submitted to and stored within the Services by Customer in connection with use of the Services. Service Data may include, without limitation, any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’) where an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to their physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person (such information, “Personal Data”). Service Data does not include metrics and information regarding Customer’s use of the Services, including information about how Authorized Users use the Services (such information, “Usage Data”).  

6.2. Ownership. Customer will continue to retain its ownership rights to all Service Data processed under the terms of this MSA and LLumin, Inc. will own all Usage Data.

For example, LLumin, Inc. may collect Personal Data (such as name, phone number, or credit card information) through the account activation process.LLumin, Inc. may also use Service Data in an anonymized manner, such as conversion to numerical value, for the training of the machine learning models to support certain features and functionality within the Services.

6.3.3. Improving the Services. LLumin, Inc. may collect, and may engage third-party analytics providers to collect Usage Data to develop new features, improve existing features, or inform sales and marketing strategies based on LLumin Inc.’s legitimate interest in improving the Services. When LLumin, Inc. uses Usage Data, any Personal Data that was included in Service Data shall be anonymized and/or aggregated in such a manner that it no longer constitutes Service Data or Personal Data under applicable data protection laws. Any such third-party analytics providers will not share or otherwise disclose Usage Data, although LLumin, Inc. may make Usage Data publicly available from time to time.  

6.3.4. Connecting to Third-Party Services. Customer may wish to connect third-party services to the Services (e.g., connecting LLumin, Inc. to Customer’s single-sign-on service to verify 2FA status of Customer’s employees). When Customer uses a third-party service to connect with LLumin, Inc., logs into the Services through a third-party authentication service, or otherwise provides LLumin, Inc. with access to information from a third-party service, LLumin, Inc. may obtain other information, including Personal Data, from those third parties and combine that Service or Usage Data based on LLumin, Inc.’s legitimate interest in providing Customer with functionality that supports the Services. Any access that LLumin, Inc. may receive to such information from a third-party service is always in accordance with the features and functionality, particularly as to authorization, of that service. By authorizing LLumin, Inc. to connect with a third-party service, Customer authorizes LLumin, Inc. to access and store any information provided to LLumin, Inc. by that third-party service, and to use and disclose that information in accordance with this MSA.

Such Sub-Processors may access Service Data to provide, secure, and improve the Services.

Section 8. Intellectual Property Rights.

Each Party will retain all rights, title and interest in any patents, inventions, copyrights, trademarks, domain names, trade secrets, know-how and any other intellectual property and/or proprietary rights (“Intellectual Property Rights”), and LLumin, Inc. in particular will exclusively retain such rights in the Services and all components of or used to provide the Services.

In the event the LLumin Subscription Service does not perform to the standards described in the proposal after the installation of any LLumin software/firmware/hardware update, LLumin will support a rollback to the last compatible and fully functioning version of the LLumin Software and will attempt to troubleshoot and resolve the incompatibility, free of charge, unless it is determined that the source of the incompatibility is due to Customer owned software/firmware/hardware. In which case, it will be the Customer’s responsibility to provide compatible software/firmware/hardware or otherwise continue using the last functioning version of the LLumin software.  

Should the Subscription Service require features, capabilities, data entry or data access functionality outside the scope of the proposal, then Customer agrees to pay for any programming and support services required to comply with those enhancements upon the mutual agreement of fees and the execution of a services agreement by both Parties. 

9.3. Disclaimers.
