You must accept the third party provider’s terms to receive their products and services. We are not liable for any third party product or service save where expressly agreed by Us in writing and clearly stated.
4.2. Third-Party Services and Customer Data. If You choose to use a Third-Party Service with a Service, You grant Us permission to allow the Third-Party Service and its provider to access Customer Data as required for the interoperation of that Third-Party Service with the Service.

You warrant that you are permitted to grant this permission to Us.
4.3. Integration with Third-Party Services. The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with Third-Party Services, as a foreground or background service. To use such features, You may be required to obtain access to such Third-Party Services from their providers, and may be required to grant Us access to Your account(s) for such Third-Party Services. We cannot guarantee the continued availability of such Service features, and may cease providing them without entitling You to any refund, credit, or other compensation, if for example and without limitation, the provider of such Third-Party Services ceases to make the Third-Party Services available for interoperation with the corresponding Service features in a manner acceptable to Us. Where Third-Party Services are used by Us as background service, You acknowledge and agree that such background services are integral to the performance of the Services, and We do not warrant or support these background Third-Party Services. Likewise, we do not warrant or support Third-Party Services or other non-Rayn products or services provided as foreground service, whether or not they are designated by Us as “certified” or otherwise, unless expressly provided otherwise in an Order Form.
5. FEES, PLAN MODIFICATIONS AND PAYMENTS
5.1. Fees. You will pay all fees specified in executed Order Forms and Our Service Plans (the “Fees”). As specified in executed Order Forms and our Service Plans, Fees may consist of either, or a combination of both: (a) Fees for Services and Third-Party Services based on actual usage or revenue (regardless of the agreed pricing metric, such as volume, CPM, percentage or other), as measured by Our systems and that of the relevant providers of Third-Party Services and/or (b) fixed Fees for Services and Third-Party Services subscriptions purchased, charged independent of actual usage. Payment obligations are non-cancelable and advance fixed Fees paid are non-refundable and quantities or service levels purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term.
5.2. Third-Party Revenue. We collect monies from Third-Party Services for revenue attributable to You. For example, this includes instances where an SSP sells your digital inventory, either directly (using Our seat) or on Your behalf (using Your seat). We will remit to You all amounts actually received, after deducting our applicable Fees and any other agreed-upon expenses or charges. In the event that such monies are not paid, are paid late, or are subject to any form of delay or default by the Third-Party providing the Third-Party Services, we shall bear no responsibility or liability to compensate, advance, or otherwise pay You for such amounts until and unless such monies are actually received by us. We are under no obligation to take legal action, incur expenses, or engage in any efforts to collect such unpaid or late amounts beyond reasonable initial attempts, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. We will promptly inform You of any known issues regarding the non-payment or late payment by Third-Party Services and will provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to You in any efforts You may undertake to collect such amounts directly from the Third-Party Services. You acknowledge and agree that the risk of loss concerning non-payment or delayed payment by Third-Party Services is borne solely by You. Our role is limited to the collection and remittance of received funds, and we do not guarantee the creditworthiness or payment practices of any Third-Party Services.
5.3. Telemetry and Verification of Usage. We may require You to complete a compliance verification and provide usage data on a monthly basis to ensure accurate billing and to verify the use of Services under this Agreement and the Fees due. We will provide at least 30 days prior written notice of such verification. To avoid the need for an on-site audit or access to Your systems, You agree to periodically transfer usage data through a secure transfer mechanism following specifications provided in writing by Us.
If Your pricing is based on estimated Usage, a fixed Fair Use Policy (FUP) based price, tiered usage, or other metric, this will be monitored through the usage data You provide.
If usage data reveals that You have exceeded Your licensed usage under the applicable Order Form(s) at any time during the Subscription Term or continue to use the Software after the expiration of the Subscription Term, We may invoice You for such additional usage at the then-current list price, from the date of the first unlicensed use through to the end of the then-current Subscription Term and/or the date of last use.
If You do not cure the unlicensed use within 60 days of written notification from Us, either by signing an Order to cover the unlicensed use or by paying an invoice for the unlicensed use, then, in addition to the Fees owed for the unlicensed use, We may assess a compliance fee equal to five percent of the Fees due for the unlicensed use. You agree to promptly issue a purchase order, if required by Your internal processes, to cover all Fees due for the excess use, including the compliance fee.
5.4. Invoicing and Payment. You will provide Us with valid and updated payment information, including where applicable a (SEPA) direct debit authorization, a valid purchase order, and/or alternative document reasonably acceptable to Us. If we work with a payment provider, You agree that You will ensure that Your account with such provider remains valid during any applicable Subscription Term and that the corresponding funds will be available for us to charge for the Purchased Services used by you as per the Service Plans and any separate Order Forms. If You provide (SEPA) direct debit information to Us, You authorize Us to charge for all Purchased Services used by You, as per the Service Plans and any separate Order Forms for the initial Subscription Term and any renewal Subscription Term(s) as set forth in Section 11.3 (Term of Purchased Subscriptions). Such charges will be made in advance, either monthly, annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order Form. Unless specifically provided in an Order Form, we will invoice You in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form, and we may use a self-billing set-up. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, invoiced charges and revenue dues are due net 30 days from the invoice date. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Us and notifying Us of any changes to such information.
5.5. Advance Payment. Should We at any time have any doubts about Your creditworthiness, We are entitled, prior to any (further) performance of the Services, to require that You make an advance payment of a part or the whole of the agreed price and/or require some other kind of guarantee. Advance payments are not refundable.
5.6. Overdue Charges. If any invoiced amount is not received by Us by the due date, then without limiting Our rights or remedies, (a) those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, and/or (b) We may condition future subscription renewals and Order Forms on payment terms shorter than those specified in Section 5.4 (Invoicing and Payment).
5.7. Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owing by You under this or any other agreement for Our services is 30 or more days overdue. We may, without limiting Our other rights and remedies, accelerate Your unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Our services to You until such amounts are paid in full. We will give You at least 10 days’ prior notice that Your account is overdue, in accordance with Section 12.2 (Notices) for billing notices, before suspending services to You. Likewise, if You terminate all or part of the Agreement before the end of the Subscription Term, all outstanding Fees for the remainder of the Subscription Term and for any other Services become immediately due and payable, without the need to serve any notice of default. In the event no termination fee is agreed upon in advance, You will pay to Us at once an amount that equals the monthly fee We received in the month prior to the termination by You, times the remaining months of the Subscription Term.
5.8. Payment Disputes. We will not exercise Our rights under Section 5.6 (Overdue Charges) or 5.7 (Suspension of Service and Acceleration) above if You are disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and are cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
5.9. Taxes. Our Fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Your purchases hereunder. If We have the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which You are responsible under this Section, We will invoice You and You will pay that amount unless You provide Us with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, We are solely responsible for taxes assessable against Us based on Our income, property and employees.
5.10. Future Functionality. You agree that Your purchases are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features of the Services, or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Us regarding future functionality or features of the Services.

You warrant and undertake that You have provided such information and where necessary obtained such consent.
8. CONFIDENTIALITY
8.1. Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Your Confidential Information includes Customer Data; Our Confidential Information includes the Services and Third-Party Services provided via Us; and Confidential Information of each party includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Order Forms (including pricing) and Service Plans, as well as business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.
8.2. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this “Confidentiality” Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, We may disclose the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Order Form to a subcontractor or provider of Third-Party Services to the extent necessary to perform Our obligations to You under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein.
8.3. Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
8.4. Systems Monitoring. You acknowledge and accept that We can use the data moving through the Services, including Customer Data, to monitor performance of the Services and pro-actively identify and solve issues, and to generate and use aggregated service statistics and improve our models and platform without personal data.

Additionally, while we strive to provide accurate and reliable outputs, we do not warrant that the outputs of the Services will be accurate or error-free. For any breach of a warranty above, Your sole and exclusive remedies are those described in the “Termination” and “Refund or Payment upon Termination” subsections below. While We will perform Our obligations under the Agreement in a professional and workmanlike manner, we cannot however guarantee that the Services are available at all times, without interruption or errors, or that all errors will be solved.
9.3. Disclaimers.
