Client shall reasonably cooperate with Fevo to provide any Client Content necessary for Fevo’s performance of the Services. Client agrees that it shall bear all responsibility and liability for the accuracy, completeness, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, appropriateness, and intellectual property ownership or right of the Client Content and Fevo’s access, possession and use as permitted herein.
(b) Client agrees that Fevo is free to reuse all general knowledge, experience, know-how, works and technologies (including ideas, concepts, processes and techniques) acquired during provision of the Services (including that which it could have acquired performing the same or similar services for another client) to the extent that the same does not include the intentional disclosure of any of Client’s Confidential Information. Client hereby grants Fevo a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free and fully paid-up license to use and exploit all feedback, suggestions and comments provided by Client to Fevo with regards to the Fevo Properties and/or the Services, in connection with Fevo’s business purposes, including, without limitation, the testing, development, maintenance and improvement of the Fevo Properties.

1.5 Third Party Payments/Events. The parties may agree to enable the Services for Fevo to make certain payments to third parties at Client’s request, including without limitation, with respect to charity Events (“Charity Events”). In such event, where applicable for such payments to third parties (including any Charity Events), Client will make available to Fevo documents that detail Client’s due diligence and registration process for charities, which include certain risk-based controls such as anti-money laundering (AML) and “know your customer” (KYC) screenings and upon Fevo’s reasonable request from time to time, Client will provide updates related thereto. With respect to Charity Events, Client will further screen the charity and related fundraising campaign against relevant compliance databases (such as the list maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control), and will provide Fevo with a response indicating whether the initial screening produced a positive or negative result; Fevo will not be required to provide the Services for use with any Charity Event that receives a positive result on such screening. With respect to any use of the Services for Charity Events (including the solicitation of charitable donations), Client is responsible for all obligations with respect to the Charity Events including without limitation, any applicable registration and/or tax reporting obligations imposed by tax and other regulatory authorities within the Territory (including 1099-K reporting), Client acknowledges that Fevo shall not be responsible or otherwise liable with respect to any of the foregoing, and Client shall indemnify and hold Fevo harmless from any and all actions, Claims (as defined below), or regulatory fines or penalties arising out of any payments made by Fevo for Client’s benefit including without limitation, with respect to the Charity Events and any breach of Client’s obligations under this Section 1.5. Without limiting the foregoing, Client has available and will employ procedures to reasonably ensure that funds received by any third party, including charity entities, cannot be used in contravention of Laws (as defined below) regarding money laundering, fraud or conspiracy. Client will employ resources to investigate suspicious activity or persons and to eliminate suspicious or unlawful behavior, and in any event shall immediately cease any activity with any entity to which suspicious or unlawful behavior is known to Client. In addition, Client warrants that its systems, technology, policies and procedures have been designed and developed to ensure that its activities with respect to handling charitable donations will conform to all applicable Laws, including being properly licensed in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of such activities requires it to be so licensed.

All pre-existing data and information including to the extent provided by Client to Fevo, if applicable, shall, as between the parties, be solely and exclusively owned by Client and shall be used by Fevo to provide the Services. In these circumstances, to the extent that you are (i) a “business” and we process “personal information” (as those terms are defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020) on your behalf and/or (ii) a “controller” and we process “personal data” (as those terms are defined by other applicable United States state data privacy Laws) on your behalf, Fevo will comply with Section 2 (“U.S. State Law Privacy Addendum”) of Exhibit A – Data Processing Addendum.
5.2 Customer-Provided Information. Fevo and Client shall each independently own all rights in personal information provided by Customers via the Client Properties with respect to Ticket sales through the Fevo Properties (“Customer-Provided Information”). Each party may only use the Customer-Provided Information in accordance with its own applicable privacy policies or statements. All data and information derived, compiled, adapted or extrapolated from any Customer-Provided Information (“Additional Customer Information”) shall, as between the parties, be solely and exclusively owned by Fevo. Fevo grants to Client a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free and fully paid-up license to use, copy, modify and process the Additional Customer Information in deidentified and aggregated form in any lawful manner; provided, however, that Client may not provide, sell or otherwise share any Additional Customer Information with third parties without the prior written consent of Fevo.

Fevo will collect all proceeds from Ticket sales under this Agreement and remit such proceeds to Client, less the Fees (as defined in the Order Form), amount of CDs (as defined below) and any amounts refunded or to be refunded to Customers (collectively, the “Settlement Payment”). Fevo will use commercially reasonable efforts to remit Settlement Payments to Client by bank transfer, check or other mutually agreed to method within seven (7) business days following the conclusion of the Event.
6.2 Refunds. All Ticket sales are final, unless the Event is canceled or Client authorizes a refund prior to the Event in its sole discretion. If an Event is canceled or Client otherwise authorizes refunds to Customers, Fevo will issue refunds to such Customers for the applicable amount. However, Fees due or paid to Fevo based on such Ticket sales still apply and are non-refundable. It is agreed and understood that Fevo’s obligation to make any refunds is subject and limited to Fevo holding (or as described below, receiving from Client) the full amount of funds necessary to make refunds to all Ticket buyers properly entitled to a refund. Fevo may set off such refunds against any Settlement Payments payable to Client. If the amount of any Settlement Payment held by Fevo and not yet paid to Client is insufficient to cover refunds, Fevo will invoice Client for the total amount due and Client will provide Fevo with sufficient funds to cover such refunds within thirty (30) days of receiving an invoice.
6.3 Chargebacks and Disputes. Client is solely responsible for all chargebacks and disputed charges and the Fees associated therewith (collectively and individually, “CDs”), including those due to user or Customer error. Fevo will use commercially reasonable efforts, on behalf of Client, to reverse any CDs. In certain circumstances where Fevo determines the risk of loss is higher than normal, Fevo may place a portion of the Settlement Payments in reserve, which Client hereby authorizes Fevo to do as its sole discretion. Upon or after establishing the reserve, Fevo will notify Client of the amount, timing and conditions for release of such reserve funds to Client. Fevo reserves the right to deduct CDs from the Settlement Payment and reserve. If the then-current month’s Settlement Payment is insufficient to cover CDs, Fevo will invoice Client for the amount due (including any amount necessary to replenish the reserve) and Client will provide Fevo with sufficient funds to cover such CDs within thirty (30) days of receiving the invoice.
6.4 Taxes. Client is solely responsible for, and shall timely pay, any income, withholding, property, excise, sales, use or transfer taxes or fees (“Taxes”), which accrue or become due or payable, arising out of use of the Services and the gross proceeds from Ticket sales, including any such Taxes relating to the Settlement Payments. Client shall indemnify and hold Fevo harmless from any and all penalties, fines or other liabilities arising from Client’s failure to timely pay any Taxes.

7.4 Compelled Disclosure. Nothing herein shall prevent either party from disclosing any Confidential Information as necessary pursuant to any court order or any legal, regulatory, Law enforcement or similar requirement or investigation; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the receiving party shall use reasonable efforts to (a) promptly notify the disclosing party in writing of such requirement to disclose in order for the disclosing party to have an opportunity to seek a protective order or otherwise contest the disclosure and (b) cooperate with the disclosing party (at the disclosing party’s expense) in protecting against or minimizing any such disclosure or obtaining a protective order.
