Delinquent invoices will accrue interest at one percent (1%) compounded monthly.
2.3 Taxes

Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason by giving written notice to the other party at least fifteen (15) days prior to the end of the current month.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, DataVine may terminate this Agreement immediately and without notice to Client if Client fails to pay the Service Fee as provided herein.

3.1 Early Termination Fee (Enterprise Tier Only)
For Enterprise Tier clients, Client acknowledges that a significant amount of labor is involved by DataVine in the process of onboarding new clients, including custom integrations and dedicated account setup.

4. Data Collection and Storage

Such data will include, without limitation, sales data, customer preference data, customer lists and contact information and all other data requested by DataVine in its performance of the Services (collectively, the "Data"). Client represents and warrants that to its knowledge all Data provided to DataVine is true and accurate.

4.6 Third-Party Data (SIPI)
In addition to Client data collected pursuant to this Agreement, Client acknowledges that DataVine collects data and information from third parties (e.g. persons sampling Client's products or others). Such third parties have agreed to DataVine's Privacy Policy (available at https://sipi.ai/privacy-notice), and may have elected to allow DataVine to capture all of the data DataVine requests, or less than all of such information. Client hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed DataVine's Privacy Policy and shall take no action nor use any such third-party information in a manner that contravenes or otherwise is in conflict with such third parties' agreement to DataVine's Privacy Policy. Client shall include an open and obvious "Unsubscribe" option in any email communication sent by Client to any third parties introduced through DataVine or DataVine's services.
5. Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure

Except as permitted in this Agreement, the Recipient shall keep, and cause any of its members, employees, agents and/or representatives to keep the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information confidential and shall refrain from disclosing such information to third parties or otherwise utilizing such Confidential Information without Disclosing Party's prior written consent. The confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 5 do not apply to Confidential Information that: (i) the Recipient is legally required to disclose; (ii) is already known by the Recipient prior to the date hereof; (iii) is legally obtained from other sources not in violation of an agreement of confidentiality; or (iv) is or becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the Recipient. Each party acknowledges that compliance with this Section 5 is necessary to protect the business, goodwill, and Confidential Information of the other, and that a breach of the same will cause irreparable and continual damage for which money damages may not be adequate. If the Recipient breaches, or threatens to breach this Section 5, the Disclosing Party may seek injunctive and such other and further relief, including damages, as may be proper. Client acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement concerning loss of Data and limiting DataVine's liability arising therefrom are not limited by the provisions of this Section 5. The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement indefinitely.
