Software as a Service (“Saas”)
End User Agreement
This License Agreement (“Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions that govern your access to and use of the Services as defined below.
This Agreement is between MaherWare Corporation (“MaherWare,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and you or the entity you represent and all of the End Users
using the Services through your account (“you” or “your”).
By accepting this Agreement, either by clicking a box indicating your acceptance or by accessing the Services, you agree to be legally bound
by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the MaherWare Privacy Policy. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a
company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity.
1. Definitions.
“Cohesion” means the proprietary financial integration and workflow software solution for restaurants developed by MaherWare and all other
cloud-based subscription products and services provided by MaherWare to your account.
“Content” means software, data, text, audio, video, images or other media.
“End User” means any individual or entity that directly or indirectly through another user accesses the Services under your account.
“MaherWare Partner” means (i) Microsoft Corporation with respect to its Azure Service and SQL database service, the terms of which are
provided at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/summary/ and https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/ and
the subpages referenced therein; and (ii) any other service provider to MaherWare providing services or software as part of delivering
the Services.

signatures, addresses, telephone numbers, a national identifier, driver’s license number, other government issued identification number,
biometric or personal health information, payment card information and financial account information. PII does not, however, include
information that is provided to you simply to communicate. For example, an e-mail address of the sender of an e-mail would not, in
and of itself, be PII.
“Services” means internet access to Cohesion.
“Suggestions” means all suggested improvements to the Services that you provide to us.
“Your Content” means Content you or any End User run on the Services, upload to the Services, or otherwise transfer, process, use or

Generally. You may only use the Services to store, retrieve, query, serve and execute content that is owned, licensed or
lawfully obtained by you. You agree not to use the Services for any illegal or harmful activities. You also agree not to access or
use the Services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair them, or interfere with any network functions.
You will not attempt to gain unauthorized access to any servers, accounts, computer systems, or networks that are not associated
with your account. The Services may only be used in, and accessed from, the United States and Canada. You will not use the Services
with respect to any PII of any person outside the United States and Canada.

Partners. This software is neither sold nor distributed to you and you may use it solely as part of the Services. You will not
transfer it outside the Services without specific authorization to do so.
The Services may enable you to install and/or run third-party software. You acknowledge and agree that you have the right to install
and use any of Your Content that you install on the Services, including without limitation, software. MaherWare reserves the right
to disable the use of Content that is not licensed for use on the Services or to immediately terminate your account if it determines

days of our notice, we may remove or disable access to the Prohibited Content or suspend the Services to the extent we are not able
to remove or disable access to the Prohibited Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may remove or disable access to any
Prohibited Content without prior notice in connection with illegal content, where the content may disrupt or threaten the Services,
pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or as required to comply with law or any judicial, regulatory or other governmental
order or request. In the event that we remove content without prior notice, we will provide prompt notice to you unless prohibited
by law.
2.4
No High-Risk Use. The Services are not fault-‐tolerant and are not guaranteed to be error free or to operate uninterrupted.
You agree not to use the Services in any application or situation where the Services’ failure could lead to death or serious bodily

4.4
Other Security and Backup. You are responsible for properly configuring and using the Services and taking your own steps to
maintain appropriate security, protection and backup of Your Content. You are responsible for ensuring the security and confidentiality
of your account credentials.
4.5
Our Security. Without limiting Section 11 or your obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, MaherWare will
use commercially reasonable efforts to implement reasonable and appropriate measures designed to help you secure Your Content against
accidental or unlawful loss, access, or disclosure.
5. Support.
If you license the Services through a MaherWare Partner, the MaherWare Partner is solely responsible for providing you with support in
connection with the Services. If you license the Services directly from MaherWare, telephonic support is available at our then current
rates during our normal business hours for an additional fee at 714-881-1114. You assume responsibility for all support issues except
administrator password resets and instance restarts.
6. Billing; Pricing; Payments.
You agree to pay current subscription fees for the Services you order. You agree that you will be charged the automatically renewing
monthly or annual subscription fees unless you cancel your subscription. This authorization will remain in effect until you cancel
your subscription, and you agree to notify MaherWare in writing of any changes in your account information at least 15 days prior
to the next billing date. You agree that you will not dispute these scheduled transactions with your bank or credit card company,
so long as the transactions correspond to the subscription fees for the Services you order.
If you license the Services through a MaherWare Partner, billing and pricing terms are governed by the terms of your agreement with the
MaherWare Partner.
If you license the Services directly from MaherWare, you will pay us the applicable fee using one of the payment methods we support,
as set forth on the MaherWare site:
http://www.cohesion4restaurants.com.
We may increase or add new fees and charges for any existing Services by giving you at least 15 days’ advance notice. Any amounts due to
MaherWare will be made without setoff or counterclaim, and without any deduction or withholding.
7. Taxes.
All fees are exclusive of taxes, duties, levies, tariffs, and other governmental charges (including without limitation, sales, use and
value‐added taxes) (collectively, “Taxes”). You are ultimately responsible for payment of all Taxes and any related interest and/or
penalties resulting from any payment of fees hereunder, other than any Taxes based on MaherWare’s net income. If you license the Services
through a MaherWare Partner, then the obligation to collect and remit sales, use, transaction privilege, excise and similar taxes is
governed by your agreement with the MaherWare Partner, but in any case is not the responsibility of MaherWare. If you license the Services
directly from MaherWare, you acknowledge and agree that MaherWare will not collect taxes unless otherwise required by law, and you agree
to remit any and all Taxes due pursuant to applicable law.
8. Temporary Suspension.
8.1
Generally. We may suspend your right to access or use any portion or all of the Services immediately upon notice to you if we
determine:
-
(a) your use of or registration for the Services (i) poses a security risk to the Services or any third party, (ii) may adversely
impact the Services or the systems or Content of any other end user, (iii) may subject MaherWare, its affiliates, or any third party
to liability, or (iv) may be fraudulent;
-
(b) you are in breach of this Agreement;
-
(c) you are delinquent on your payment obligations for the Services; or
-
(d) you have ceased operations, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar disposition of your assets, or become
the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceeding.
8.2
Effect of Suspension. If we suspend your right to access or use any portion of the Services:
-
(a) you remain responsible for all fees and charges you have incurred through the date of suspension; and
-
(b) you remain responsible for any applicable fees and charges for any Services to which you continue to have access, as
well as applicable data storage fees and charges, and fees and charges for in-‐process tasks completed after the date of suspension.
Our right to suspend your right to access or use the Services is in addition to our right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Section 9. We may terminate this Agreement at any time if we determine that grounds for suspension exist pursuant to Section 8.1.
9. Term; Termination.
9.1
Term. The term of this Agreement commences on the date you accept it by accessing the Services and continues until your subscription
has been terminated. The Service is a monthly or annual subscription service that automatically renews unless cancelled.
9.2
Termination for Convenience. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by cancelling your subscription for the Services;
provided, however, that all fees paid are nonrefundable. If you cancel before the expiration of the subscription term, you will not receive
a refund of the subscription fees or any prorated portion thereof. MaherWare may terminate this Agreement without cause by providing you 30
days’ notice.
9.3
Termination for Cause.
-
(a) By Either Party. Either party may terminate this Agreement for cause upon 30 days’ advance notice to the other party if
there is any material default or breach of this Agreement by the other party, unless the defaulting party has cured the material
default or breach within the 30-day notice period.
-
(b) By MaherWare. MaherWare may also terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to you (i) for cause, if any act or
omission by you results in a suspension described in Section 8.1, (ii) if our relationship with a third-party partner who provides
software or other technology we use to provide the Services expires, terminates or requires us to change the way we provide the software
or other technology as part of the Services, (iii) if we believe providing the Services could create a substantial economic or
technical burden or material security risk for us, (iv) in order to comply with the law or requests of governmental entities,
or (v) if we determine use of the Services by you or our provision of any of the Services to you has become impractical or unfeasible
for any reason.
9.4
Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, MaherWare has no obligation to retain Your Content and may permanently
delete it. You release MaherWare from any liability for deleting your data upon termination. You remain responsible for all fees and
charges you have incurred through the date of termination. Rights and obligations that are of a continuing nature shall survive, including
without limitation, obligations related to proprietary information, indemnification, and limitation of liability.

license to access and use the Services solely in accordance with this Agreement during the Term. Except as provided in this Section 10.3,
you obtain no rights under this Agreement from MaherWare or its licensors to the Services, including any related intellectual property
rights.
10.4
Separate Licenses. Certain software components of the Services may be provided to you under a separate license. In the event any
separate license is more restrictive, or there is a conflict between this Agreement and any separate license, the separate license controls
with respect to your right to access and use the applicable component of the Services.
10.5
License Restrictions. You agree not to use the Services in any manner or for any purpose other than those expressly permitted by
this Agreement. You will not, and will not attempt to: (a) modify, alter, tamper with, repair, or otherwise create derivative works of any
portion or component of the Services, (b) reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile the Services or apply any other process or procedure
to derive the source code of any software included in the Services, (c) access or use the Services in a way intended to avoid incurring fees
or exceeding usage limits or quotas, or (d) resell or sublicense the Services. All licenses granted to you in this Agreement are conditional
on your continued compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and will immediately and automatically terminate if you do
not comply with any term or condition of this Agreement. During and after the Term, you will not assert, nor will you authorize, assist,
or encourage any third party to assert, against us or any of our affiliates, customers, vendors, business partners, or licensors, any
patent infringement or other intellectual property infringement claim regarding any of the Services.

IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE REGARDING THE SERVICE OFFERINGS OR THE THIRD-PARTY CONTENT, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE
OFFERINGS OR THIRD-PARTY CONTENT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-‐FREE OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY CONTENT, INCLUDING YOUR

spent responding to the third-party subpoena or other compulsory legal order or process at our then-‐current hourly rates.
12.2

written consent before entering into any settlement. We may also assume control of the defense and settlement of the claim at any time.
