For previous versions of the MSA, go here

This Master Subscription Agreement (“MSA”) serves as the framework agreement for the subscription services provided by Watershed Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices located at 360 9th Street, San Francisco, CA 94103 USA (“Watershed”), and governs any order form referencing this MSA (an “Order”) executed by the customer identified in the applicable Order (“Customer”). This MSA, any exhibits, any Order and any other incorporated terms or policies (collectively, the “Agreement”) comprise the entire understanding between Customer and Watershed regarding Customer’s access to and use of the SaaS Services described in the applicable Order.

WHEREAS, Watershed provides a software-as-a-service platform for measuring, reporting and acting on sustainability data, including greenhouse gas emissions, in each case identified in an Order (the “SaaS Services”); and

WHEREAS, Customer desires to access the SaaS Services (as further defined in Section 1 (Provision of SaaS Services) below) specified in an Order(s), and Watershed wishes to provide Customer with access to such SaaS Services;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, terms, and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. PROVISION OF SAAS SERVICES

1.1 License to Customer. During the applicable Order Term (as defined in Section 6.1 (Term and Order Term) below), Watershed grants Customer a revocable (solely as provided for in this Agreement), nonexclusive, non-sublicensable, royalty-free, non-transferable (except in compliance with Section 14.2 (Assignment)), limited license to access and use the SaaS Services described in an Order, solely in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such access and usage are limited to the number of Authorized Users (as defined in Section 1.2 (Authorized Users and Affiliates) below) existing upon execution of an Order or added organically over an Order Term. In the event of a significant increase in Authorized Users during an Order Term due to a merger or other addition of an entity that results in more than thirty percent (30%) year-over-year revenue growth, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a proportionate increase in the scope of and fees for the SaaS Services for the remaining period in the Order Term. The definition “SaaS Services” as used in this Agreement includes Watershed’s enterprise climate platform (the “Watershed Platform”), any software that may be downloadable through the Watershed Platform, application programming interfaces (APIs) made available by Watershed to Customer in connection with this Agreement, Watershed and third party (non-Customer) data (e.g., representative values relating the quantity of a pollutant released to the atmosphere with an activity associated with the release of that pollutant (an “Emissions Factor”)), web-based analytics, system management and monitoring tools, and associated technologies (e.g., algorithms, code, methodologies, models, processes, user interfaces, know-how, techniques, templates, visual interfaces, interactive features, designs, and Watershed’s proprietary database format). “SaaS Services” also includes documentation for the SaaS Services and the support and maintenance services provided pursuant to Exhibit A (Support and Service Levels) or an Order hereto.

1.2 Authorized Users and Affiliates. Customer agrees that Customer must not provide access to the SaaS Services to any third party except Customer’s (and Customer’s Authorized Affiliates’ (as defined below), if any) employees, directors, officers, contractors, consultants, and professional advisors who are authorized by Customer to access and use the SaaS Services under the rights granted to Customer pursuant to this Agreement (“Authorized Users”), solely for their internal use in connection with this Agreement. Customer is responsible and liable for all uses of the SaaS Services resulting from access provided by Customer, whether such access or use is permitted by or in violation of this Agreement, and any breach of this Agreement by an Authorized Affiliate and/or an Authorized User will be deemed a breach by Customer. “Authorized Affiliate” means (a) an Affiliate authorized by Customer to access the Watershed Platform for the sole purpose of uploading Customer Content required to generate Customer’s emissions reports; and (b) Customer Affiliates who have purchased SaaS Services under an Order to this Agreement, under the same license and terms as this Agreement. “Affiliate” means an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with a party, with “control” meaning direct or indirect ownership of (i) more than fifty percent (50%) of an entity’s voting interest; or (ii) the right to receive more than fifty percent (50%) of an entity’s profits.

1.3 Updates. Customer acknowledges that Watershed may enhance and modify the Watershed Platform and introduce new SaaS Services from time to time and will provide Customer with notice of any modifications to the SaaS Services purchased by Customer unless such changes are of minor nature with no material effect on the features and functionality of such purchased SaaS Services and/or Watershed’s contractual obligations. Watershed will not make changes to the SaaS Services that materially reduce the functionality purchased by Customer during an Order Term. To the extent that Watershed makes available any new or different features or functionality to the SaaS Services, Watershed may market these separately and may require the payment of additional fees. Customer is under no obligation to purchase such new or different functionality. Customer agrees that Watershed shall not be liable to Customer or any third party for any modification of the SaaS Services made consistent with this section.

1.4 Support and Service Levels. During an Order Term, Watershed will provide Customer with the maintenance and support services specified in Exhibit A for the SaaS Services described in an Order.

1.5 Data Security. Watershed will maintain an industry-standard information security program, including appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards in accordance with Exhibit B (Information Security Addendum). Customer agrees to assist Watershed in such efforts by making commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the SaaS Services, and agrees to notify Watershed promptly of any such unauthorized access or use of which Customer becomes aware. Watershed shall further comply with the security protocols described in Watershed’s most recently completed Service Organization Control 2 (SOC 2) audit reports or other similar independent third-party annual audit report (“Audit Report”). Upon Customer’s request, Watershed shall provide Customer with a copy of Watershed’s then-current Audit Report. During the Term, Watershed shall not materially diminish the protections provided by the controls set forth in Watershed’s then-current Audit Report.

2. USE RESTRICTIONS

2.1 General Use Restrictions. Customer must not use the SaaS Services for any purposes beyond the scope of the access granted in this Agreement. Customer agrees not to, nor permit any other party to: (a) use, or cause others to use, any automated system, software or other indexing or downloading technology to extract or scrape data or information from the SaaS Services other than as authorized by Watershed, e.g., through provision of a Watershed API; (b) rent, lease, lend, sell or sublicense the SaaS Services or otherwise provide access to the SaaS Services as part of a service bureau or similar fee-for-service purpose; (c) reverse engineer, decode, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to access or derive the source code or underlying methodology of the Watershed Platform, or any other part of the SaaS Services; (d) introduce any viruses to the SaaS Services; (e) remove any proprietary notices from the SaaS Services; or (f) use the SaaS Services in any manner or for any purpose that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property right or other right of any person, or that violates any applicable provisions of foreign, federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations or orders of all governmental bodies, courts, tribunals and arbitrators (“Applicable Law”).

2.2 Emissions Factors Use Restrictions. In addition to the use restrictions set forth in Section 2.1 (General Use Restrictions) above, Customer shall not at any time directly or indirectly expose or distribute, or allow third parties to reproduce, any portion of the Emissions Factors, except to the parties permitted under Section 7.2 (Non-Disclosure) below solely as necessary to enable third-party assurance of Customer’s sustainability data during or after the Term of this Agreement (unless the Agreement is terminated by Watershed for cause or Watershed’s license to the applicable Emissions Factors is terminated, and subject to the terms of this Agreement with respect to Emissions Factors). Third party licensors of Emissions Factors require that Watershed pass-through the restrictions in this Section 2 to its sublicensees, and may enforce these restrictions directly against Customer to the extent that Customer’s breach of these restrictions impacts such data.

3. CUSTOMER CONTENT

3.1 Responsibility for Customer Content. As between Watershed and Customer, Customer is solely responsible for and assumes all risk associated with all information, data, and other content, in any form or medium, that is submitted, posted, or otherwise transmitted to the SaaS Services by or on behalf of Customer or an Authorized User (“Customer Content”), including anyone’s reliance on the quality, accuracy, or reliability of the Customer Content. Customer represents and warrants that it has obtained the necessary disclosures, permissions and consents to provide Customer Content to Watershed and the SaaS Services.

3.2 License to Customer Content. Customer hereby grants to Watershed a revocable, nonexclusive, non-transferable (except in compliance with Section 14.2 (Assignment)), royalty-free, limited license to use and display the Customer Content and perform all acts with respect to the Customer Content solely as necessary for Watershed to provide the SaaS Services to Customer, solely for Customer’s benefit and subject to the terms of this Agreement. Except for any sublicense necessary to provide the SaaS Services, Watershed will not sell, disclose, or share any Customer Content (or any part or product thereof) with any third party.

3.3 Prohibited Content. Unless expressly agreed in an Order with respect to a certain type of content, Customer must not nor permit others to submit, upload, email, transmit or otherwise make available through the Watershed Platform (a) any content not owned by Customer or for which Customer does not have all necessary authorization to make available through the Watershed Platform, including in accordance with all applicable intellectual property laws and data laws, regulations and privacy standards; (b) sensitive financial data (e.g., bank account numbers, credit card or debit card numbers, passwords, and other access codes for financial accounts); (c) personal health information subject to protection under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”); or (d) content that violates Applicable Law. Watershed reserves the right to reject and/or remove any Customer Content that Watershed believes, in its reasonable discretion, violates this Section 3.3 (Prohibited Content), or as otherwise needed to ensure compliance with the Agreement or Applicable Law.

3.4 Usage Data. Watershed may collect and use Usage Data (as defined below) for purposes of operating, improving, developing, or monitoring the performance of the SaaS Services, provided that the use of Usage Data must not result in the identification of Customer or any individual. “Usage Data” means any aggregated and/or de-identified data derived from the use of SaaS Services, including data related to carbon emissions.

4. FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS

4.1 Fees. Customer agrees to pay Watershed the fees stated in the applicable Order, in U.S. dollars, unless another currency is specified in the Order.

4.2 Payment Terms. Invoices submitted by Watershed are due within the number of days from receipt of invoice specified in the applicable Order. If Customer disputes any charges, Customer must let Watershed know within thirty (30) days after the date that Watershed invoices Customer.

4.3 Taxes. Unless Customer has provided an exemption certificate or other appropriate documentation, Customer shall pay any taxes, duties or other fees imposed by any taxing authority on the transaction or the delivery of SaaS Services hereunder (excluding taxes based on Watershed’s net income or property), as required by law to be collected from Customer and outlined in the invoice for the SaaS Services (“Taxes”). For customers based in the United States, any applicable taxes will be determined based on the laws and regulations of the taxing authority(ies) governing the "Ship To" location provided by Customer on the applicable Order.

5. OWNERSHIP

5.1 Watershed Intellectual Property. As between Watershed and Customer, Watershed owns all right, title and interest, including all rights associated with patents and inventions, copyrights, and other works of authorship (including moral rights); trademarks, service marks, trade dress, trade names, logos and other source identifiers; trade secrets (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”) in and to (a) the SaaS Services; (b) all methodology, information, text, links, graphics, photos, audio, video, and other forms of data or communication that users can view, access or otherwise interact with through the SaaS Services (excluding the Customer Content); and (c) Usage Data.

5.2 Customer Intellectual Property. As between Watershed and Customer, Customer owns all Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Customer Content. Additionally, as between Customer and Watershed, with the exception of the Watershed Intellectual Property underlying the calculations provided in such reports (e.g., the Watershed methodologies and Emissions Factors), Customer owns all Intellectual Property Rights in and to any customized reports generated through analysis of the Customer Content by the SaaS Services (the “Results”)).

5.3 Feedback. Customer need not provide Watershed with any suggestions, comments, ideas, improvements or other feedback relating to the SaaS Services (“Feedback”). If Customer (including Authorized Users) provides Feedback to Watershed, Watershed shall have a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sublicenseable, irrevocable, perpetual license to use or incorporate the Feedback into its products and services. Customer acknowledges that Feedback is non-confidential and provided voluntarily by Customer. Watershed agrees that it may not attribute Feedback to Customer or any of its Authorized Users and that this license does not apply to Customer’s Confidential Information or Customer Content.

5.4 Reservation of Rights. Each of the parties reserves all rights not expressly granted under this Agreement.

6. TERM AND TERMINATION

6.1 Term and Order Term. This MSA is effective on the date the Order is executed by both parties and remains in effect until terminated (the “Term”). An Order will have the term set forth in the Order (the initial term of the Order and any subsequent renewal terms, the “Order Term”). If at any time there are no Orders in effect, either party may terminate this MSA with thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other party.

6.2 Suspension. Watershed reserves the right to suspend Customer’s access to the SaaS Services or a portion of the SaaS Services: (a) in the event of Customer’s breach of Section 2 (Use Restrictions); (b) to prevent unauthorized access to Customer Content; or (c) to comply with Applicable Law (any such suspension, a “Service Suspension”). Watershed shall promptly provide written notice of any Service Suspension to Customer prior to the suspension or immediately after and shall provide regular updates regarding resumption of access to the SaaS Services following any Service Suspension. Watershed shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume providing access to the SaaS Services as soon as reasonably possible after the event giving rise to the Service Suspension is cured. Watershed will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits), or any other consequences that Customer or any Authorized User may incur as a result of a Service Suspension.

6.3 Termination for Cause. This MSA or an Order may be terminated (a) by the non-breaching party upon a material breach of this Agreement by the other party, which breach, if curable, is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the non-breaching party; or (b) by either party if the other party becomes insolvent or bankrupt; becomes the subject of any proceedings under bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor relief law; has a receiver or manager appointed; makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or takes the benefit of any Applicable Law in force for the winding up or liquidation of such party’s business.

6.4 Effect of Termination. Termination of an Order does not terminate this MSA or any other Order; however, termination of this MSA will result in the immediate termination of all Orders. Upon termination of an Order, any unpaid balance under the Order will immediately become due and payable and all remaining service credits, or other credits (if any) under any Order, will expire; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by Customer for Watershed’s uncured material breach under Section 6.3(a), Watershed will refund Customer any prepaid fee for the applicable Order Term prorated from the date of termination. Upon request by Customer made within thirty (30) days after the effective date of the termination or expiration of the Agreement, Watershed will make available the Customer Content to Customer for export or download and thereafter delete or destroy all Customer Content in Watershed’s possession or control. Any provision that, by its terms, is intended to survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement will survive such expiration or termination, including Sections 2 (Use Restrictions), 3.4 (Usage Data), 5 (Ownership), 6.4 (Effect of Termination), 7 (Confidential Information; Data Protection), 8 (Warranty), 9 (Indemnification), 10 (Limitation of Liability); 12 (Publicity) (in accordance with the limitations therein) and 14 (Governing Law; General).

7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; DATA PROTECTION

7.1 Definition. “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed under the Agreement that (a) if tangible, is clearly marked as “Confidential” or with a similar designation; (b) if intangible, is identified as “Confidential” by the disclosing party (“Discloser”) at the time of disclosure and confirmed in writing to the receiving party (“Recipient”) as being Confidential Information; or (c) from the relevant circumstances should reasonably be known by Recipient to be confidential (e.g., pricing, personal data, SaaS Services documentation, etc.). Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) was available to the Recipient before disclosure of such information to the Recipient and free of any confidentiality obligation in favor of the Discloser and known to the Recipient at the time of disclosure; (ii) is made available to the Recipient from a third party not known by the Recipient at the time of such availability to be subject to a confidentiality obligation in favor of the Discloser; (iii) is made available to third parties by the Discloser without restriction on disclosing such information; (iv) is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Recipient prohibited by this Agreement; or (v) is developed independently by or on behalf of the Recipient without reference to the Discloser’s Confidential Information.

7.2 Non-Disclosure. Recipient must (a) use Confidential Information only for the purposes of furthering the business relationship between the parties; (b) protect Confidential Information using the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care; (c) not disclose Confidential Information to any third party except its personnel, consultants, subcontractors, and professional advisors who have a need to know in order to carry out their obligations under the Agreement and who are bound by agreements limiting use of third party confidential information to the provision of services to Customer; and (d) not expose or distribute, or allow third parties to reproduce, any portion of the Emissions Factors, except as strictly necessary to enable third-party assurance of Customer’s sustainability data by the parties permitted under Section 7.2(c) above. If Recipient receives a court subpoena, request for production of documents, court order or requirement of a government agency to disclose any Confidential Information, the Recipient will give prompt written notice to the Discloser so that the request can be challenged or limited in scope by the Discloser.

7.3 Data Protection. In the event that Watershed processes Personal Data (as defined in Section 1 of the Watershed Data Processing Addendum located at https://watershed.com/legal/dpa (“Data Processing Addendum” or “DPA”)) on behalf of Customer pursuant to this Agreement, Watershed and Customer will comply with the DPA, the terms of which are incorporated into this Agreement.

8. WARRANTY

8.1 Mutual Warranties. Each party represents and warrants that (a) it is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its governing jurisdiction and is qualified to conduct its business in that jurisdiction; (b) it has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations under it; (c) it will comply with all Applicable Laws in performance of this Agreement; and (d) in entering into the Agreement it does not rely on any promise, statement, representation or warranty (whether in writing or not) of any person (whether party to the Agreement or not) relating to the subject matter of the Agreement, other than as stated in the Agreement.

8.2 SaaS Services Warranty. Watershed represents and warrants that Watershed will perform the SaaS Services in a professional and workmanlike manner with a level of care, skill, practice and judgment consistent with generally recognized industry standards and practices for similar services. Watershed will make commercially reasonable efforts to remedy any material breach of this Section 8.2 (SaaS Services Warranty) of which Watershed receives notice within a commercially reasonable period after discovery, by promptly, at no additional cost to Customer, re-performing the SaaS Services, correcting the non-conformance, or providing Customer with a reasonable workaround.

8.3 DISCLAIMER. THE SAAS SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS,” AND, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE WARRANTIES PROVIDED BY WATERSHED IN THIS SECTION 8 (WARRANTY), WATERSHED HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION: (A) THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (B) ANY WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE QUALITY, ACCURACY, CURRENCY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE WATERSHED PLATFORM AND SAAS SERVICES OR ANY RESULTS OBTAINED THROUGH THE SAAS SERVICES, OR THAT USE OF THE SAAS SERVICES WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR FREE FROM OTHER FAILURES. CUSTOMER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAWS, AND WATERSHED DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY RELATED TO CUSTOMER’S COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

9. INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Watershed Indemnification. Watershed will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Customer, Customer’s Affiliates and each of their directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, or affiliated entities (the “Customer Indemnified Parties”) from and against claims, demands, liabilities, losses, causes of action, damages, fines, judgments, and settlements brought by a third party (a “Claim”), including reimbursement of all reasonable legal fees and expenses, made or brought against a Customer Indemnified Party to the extent resulting from, or alleged to have resulted from, the infringement by the SaaS Services of a third-party Intellectual Property Right, except that Watershed will have no obligations pursuant to this Section for any combination, operation or use of the SaaS Services with other applications, portions of applications, data, product(s) or services not provided by Watershed where the SaaS Services would not by itself be infringing. If the use of the SaaS Services by Customer has become, or in Watershed’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of any claim of infringement, Watershed may at its option and expense (a) procure for Customer the right to continue using and receiving the SaaS Services as set forth hereunder; (b) replace or modify the SaaS Services to make them non-infringing (with comparable functionality); or (c) if the options in clauses (a) or (b) are not reasonably practicable, terminate this Agreement in exchange for a prorated refund under the applicable Orders.

9.2 Customer Indemnification. Customer will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Watershed, its Affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, or affiliated entities (the “Watershed Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Claim, including reimbursement of all reasonable legal fees and expenses, made or brought against a Watershed Indemnified Party to the extent resulting from or alleged to have resulted from (a) Customer’s breach of Section 2 (Use Restrictions); (b) the Customer Content (except that Customer will have no obligations pursuant to this Section for any use of Customer Content by Watershed not authorized by Customer); or (c) the combination, operation or use of the SaaS Services with other applications, portions of applications, data, product(s) or services provided by Customer where the SaaS Services would not by itself be infringing.

9.3 Indemnification Procedures. Each party will promptly notify the other in writing of any Claim; provided, however, that failure of the indemnified party to give such prompt written notice will not relieve the indemnifying party of any obligation to indemnify pursuant to this Section 9 (Indemnification), except to the extent the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced as a direct result of such failure. The indemnifying party will (a) control the defense of the Claim; and (b) obtain the other party’s prior written approval of the indemnifying party’s settlement or compromise of a Claim to the extent such settlement or compromise would materially adversely impact the indemnified party’s rights, obligations, or business operations. The indemnified party will (i) not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the request for such settlement or compromise; and (ii) assist and cooperate in the defense as reasonably requested by the indemnifying party at the indemnifying party’s expense.

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY, WHETHER BY BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY OR CAUSE OF ACTION, (A) FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF SUCH OTHER PERSON, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF FUTURE REVENUE, INCOME OR PROFITS, DIMINUTION OF VALUE, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION OR OPPORTUNITY WHETHER OR NOT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES HAS BEEN DISCLOSED TO THE OTHER PARTY IN ADVANCE OR COULD REASONABLY HAVE BEEN FORESEEN BY SUCH OTHER PARTY; OR (B) FOR AN AMOUNT THAT EXCEEDS THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER TO WATERSHED IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT(S) THAT FIRST GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM. The limitations of liability stated in this Section 10 (Limitation of Liability) do not apply to: (i) a party’s indemnification obligations; (ii) a party’s liability for fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct; (iii) a party’s liability for death or personal injury; (iv) a party’s confidentiality obligations; or (v) Customer’s obligations with respect to fees due for SaaS Services hereunder (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, e.g., in the event of early termination due to Watershed’s breach of this Agreement).

11. INSURANCE. During the Term of this Agreement, Watershed will maintain commercially reasonable insurance coverage as required by law in connection with its performance under the Agreement. Watershed will provide a copy of Watershed’s certificate of insurance upon request.

12. PUBLICITY. Watershed may identify Customer (including through use of Customer’s logo) as a Watershed customer on Watershed’s digital properties and marketing materials in substantially the same way that it identifies other customers (e.g., as shown at https://watershed.com/). Customer may request at any time that Watershed remove any mention of Customer from Watershed materials, and Watershed will do so as soon as possible. Other than such identification, each party and its representatives shall not: (a) issue or cause to be issued or published any press release, public announcement or public statement with respect to the terms hereof, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the termination hereof, without the prior written consent of the other party; and (b) use the name or any trademark or logo of the other party publicly without the prior written consent of the other party, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

13. COMPLIANCE

13.2 List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons. Customer is not and is not affiliated with and shall not, directly or indirectly, use the SaaS Services for or provide access to the SaaS Services to a Sanctioned Person. Sanctioned Person means a party that (a) is on the U.S. Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List or any other list of restricted parties administered under the economic sanction or export control legal requirements of the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union or any European Union member state; (b) is a government of, a citizen or resident of, or located, domiciled or organized under the laws of a nation or region that is subject to a territorial embargo administered by the U.S. government (as of the date of this Agreement, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, Crimea and the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic regions of Ukraine); or (c) is an organization controlled or 50%-or-more owned, directly or indirectly, by one or more Persons covered by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 13.2.

14. GOVERNING LAW; GENERAL

14.1 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, U.S.A. without regard to conflicts of law principles. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the licenses granted hereunder will be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of California in each case located in the city of San Francisco and County of San Francisco, and each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action, or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Customers who have their registered office within the European Union or United Kingdom, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be referred to arbitration in London in accordance with the Arbitration Act 1996 or any statutory modification or re-enactment thereof save to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of this section, under the LCIA Rules (as then in force), which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause. The total number of arbitrators shall be three. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.

14.2 Assignment. Either party may assign this Agreement to an Affiliate or a successor-in-interest that is not a competitor of the non-assigning party in connection with (a) the sale of all or substantially all of the assigning party’s assets; (b) any change in the ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the assigning party’s voting capital stock in one or more related transactions; or (c) the assigning party’s merger with or acquisition by such successor-in-interest. Except for the assignments set forth in the foregoing sentence, neither party will assign the Agreement in whole or in part without the other party’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably denied, delayed or conditioned). Any attempted assignment in violation of this restriction is void. The Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.

14.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous oral or written negotiations or agreements with respect to such subject matter, including any confidentiality agreement entered into prior to the date of Customer’s first Order. If a conflict exists between any of the terms in the Agreement, the Order will govern, followed by the MSA, and then the DPA. It is expressly agreed that the terms of this Agreement and any Order supersede the terms in any Customer purchase order, procurement internet portal or other similar document, and no terms included in any such purchase order, portal or other document will apply to the SaaS Services ordered.

14.4 Amendment. The parties may amend the Agreement, including any Order, only in a written amendment signed by both parties. Any attempt to amend, modify or vary the terms of this Agreement through a purchase order or invoice, or other document or communication not signed by the authorized representatives of both parties and referencing this Agreement will be void.

14.5 Independent Contractors. The relationship between Watershed and Customer established by this Agreement is solely that of independent contractors. Neither party is in any way the partner or agent of the other, nor is either party authorized or empowered to create or assume any obligation of any kind, implied or expressed, on behalf of the other party, without the express prior written consent of such other party.

14.6 Notices. A notice regarding termination of the Agreement for breach, indemnification, or other legal matter must be sent by electronic mail or overnight postal or courier service, if to Customer at the billing address or email address set forth on the Order or the address in Customer’s account records with Watershed, and if to Watershed at legal@watershedclimate.com. Watershed’s routine communications regarding the SaaS Services and legal notices will be posted on Watershed’s customer portal or sent by email or post to the individual(s) Customer designates as contact(s) on Customer’s account. Notices are deemed received as of the time posted or delivered, or if that time does not fall within a business day, as of the beginning of the first business day following the time posted or delivered (in the case of email, delivery is presumed if the sender of the email does not receive a bounce-back message). To count days for notice periods, the business day on which the notice is deemed received counts as the first day.

14.7 No Waiver. The failure of either party to require strict performance by the other party of any provision of this document will not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter, nor will the waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this document be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.

14.8 Interpretation. In the Agreement, the words “include” and “including” will not be construed as terms of limitation. The titles, headings and subheadings used throughout this Agreement are intended solely for convenience of reference and form no part of the terms of this Agreement.

14.9 Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is unenforceable, that provision will be modified to render it enforceable to the extent possible to give effect to the parties’ intentions and the remaining provisions will not be affected.

14.10 Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for any failure or delays to perform under this Agreement to the extent due to any act of God, fire, casualty, flood, war, strike, lock out, failure of public utilities, outages or slow-downs of the internet, outages at any of Watershed’s critical infrastructure providers, injunction or any act, exercise, assertion or requirement of any governmental authority, epidemic, pandemic, destruction of production facilities, insurrection or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the party invoking this provision. Any such excuse for delay shall last only as long as the event remains beyond the reasonable control of the delayed party.

14.11 Counterparts and Electronic Signatures. Any Order, and any amendment to this Agreement or other ancillary agreement among the parties may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original and all of which, when taken together, will be considered to be one and the same agreement or document.

Exhibit B

Information Security Addendum

Watershed will implement and maintain the following administrative, technical, physical, and organizational security measures:

1. Use Restrictions

Watershed shall only access and use Customer Content in accordance with Applicable Laws and the DPA, to fulfill its obligations under the Agreement or as explicitly directed by Customer, and for no other purposes.

2. Information Security Management

Watershed agrees to establish and maintain a written information security and privacy program (“Information Security Program” or “ISP”) containing policies, procedures and controls to manage access to systems and data that are no less rigorous than accepted industry practices, including the following:

(a) Restriction of access to Customer Content to only those personnel, subcontractors or agents (“Data Personnel”) requiring access to fulfill Watershed’s obligations under the Agreement, consistent with the concepts of least privilege and need-to-know. Additional measures with respect to Data Personnel include:

(i) promptly terminating access privileges to systems and data for any Data Personnel that no longer need such access, and conducting reviews of access lists to ensure that access privileges have been appropriately provisioned and terminated no less than quarterly;

(ii) providing ongoing training and awareness materials on the Information Security Program to all Data Personnel, including on the topics of phishing and social engineering; and

(iii) applying the concept of separation of duties for all Data Personnel roles with access to Personal Data.

(b) Maintenance of appropriate network security measures, including but not limited to firewalls to segregate internal networks from the internet, risk-based network segmentation, and intrusion prevention or detection systems to alert Watershed to suspicious network activity.

(c) Performance of security testing on any applications or application code provided to or developed on behalf of Watershed to ensure that the application or application code is secure against any vulnerabilities that are identified through industry standard testing, and any vulnerabilities reported to Watershed by any third party.

(d) Performance of regular vulnerability scans and assessments on all systems storing, processing, or transmitting Customer Content to identify all potential vulnerabilities on such systems.

(e) Risk-prioritized remediation of identified vulnerabilities in a timely manner, including timely implementation of all manufacturer- and developer-recommended security updates and patches to operating systems and third-party software storing, processing, or transmitting Customer Content, or otherwise installed on Watershed systems.

(f) Performance of periodic penetration tests as needed.

(g) Use of antivirus and malware protection software with up-to-date definitions and signatures on all Watershed workstations.

(h) Enforcement of complex password requirements on all Watershed systems that use passwords for authentication.

(i) Use of strong encryption for all authentication credentials to prevent unauthorized account access.

(j) Implementation of secure workstation protection policies for Watershed systems.

(k) Encryption of all Customer Content in transit and at rest using robust encryption algorithms and in accordance with industry standards for secure key and protocol negotiation and key management, including full disk encryption for all Watershed workstations.

(l) Requirement that all remote network and system access to Watershed systems utilize multi-factor authentication.

3. Physical Security

(a) Access to Watershed facilities (including offices and coworking spaces) shall be restricted to personnel with authorized access. Restricted areas of facilities, such as server rooms if applicable, shall be subject to risk-appropriate access controls, such as by requiring key cards and/or PINs for entry. Watershed shall regularly review audit trails of access to these restricted areas.

(b) Watershed shall identify and log all visitors to its facilities and ensure that visitors to restricted areas are escorted by Watershed personnel at all times.

(c) Watershed shall implement and enforce “clean desk” (i.e., prohibiting documents with sensitive data from being left on desks, tables, etc. after work hours or for prolonged periods) policies throughout its facilities.

4. Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery

Watershed shall maintain appropriate business continuity and disaster recovery procedures to ensure prompt resumption and continuation of Watershed services in the event of a disruption. Watershed shall periodically test these procedures and provide information about them to Customer upon request.

5. Subcontracting

(a) Watershed shall implement and maintain a documented vendor risk management program to ensure that:

(i) reasonable due diligence is conducted on any prospective subcontractor to ensure that they are capable of meeting the security standards outlined in the ISP; and

(ii) the subcontractor is contractually required to comply with the terms of the ISP.

6. Compliance Monitoring

(a) Watershed shall regularly test and monitor the effectiveness of the security practices and procedures in the ISP, and will evaluate and adjust the ISP and information security safeguards in light of the results of the testing and monitoring, any material changes to its operations or business arrangements, or any other circumstances that Watershed knows or reasonably should know may have a material effect on its ISP and information security safeguards.

(b) Upon request of Customer, Watershed shall provide a copy of its most current third-party information security audit report and/or certification, if any.

7. Security Breach Notification

(a) Watershed will notify Customer promptly, and in any event within seventy-two (72) hours, of any Security Breach that compromises the availability, security, or integrity of Customer Content. “Security Breach” means any accidental or unlawful acquisition, destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Customer Content. Notification shall not be deemed to constitute an admission of fault or liability by Watershed for the Security Breach. Watershed will comply with the Security Breach-related obligations directly applicable to it under Applicable Law and will assist Customer in Customer’s compliance with its Security Breach-related obligations, including without limitation by:

(i) At Watershed’s own expense, taking steps to mitigate the effects of the Security Breach and reduce the risk to Data Subjects whose Personal Data was involved; and

(ii) Providing Customer with the following information, to the extent known:

(1) The nature of the Security Breach, including, where possible, how the Security Breach occurred, the categories and approximate number of Data Subjects concerned, and the categories and approximate number of Personal Data records concerned;

(2) The likely consequences of the Security Breach; and

(3) Measures taken or proposed to be taken by Watershed to address the Security Breach, including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects.

8. Deletion of Data

At Customer’s direction at any time, and in any event upon termination or expiration of the Agreement, except to the extent required by Applicable Laws, Watershed shall, and shall cause its representatives to make Customer Content available to Customer for download, and, if so directed by Customer, securely destroy any and all Customer Content.
