If any charge to the Credit Card or Bank Account is returned unpaid by the Credit Card issuer or Financial Institution, IWT may charge, and Subscriber agrees to pay, a returned payment fee as well as any other charges permitted by applicable law. IWT may re-process returned charges for a period of 30 days after they were rejected. IWT retains the right to exercise any other legal remedy, including the right to impose late fees and charges and the right to report Subscriber to one or more consumer reporting agencies. Subsequently scheduled Recurring Payments may also be canceled. Notwithstanding that Subscriber has provided Authorization, (a) Subscriber continues to be responsible to pay Fees and all amounts due for such Services on or before the date they are due, and (b) IWT may seek all remedies available to it under these TOS or applicable law if Subscriber fails to pay amounts due under these TOS on or before their due date for any reason; and IWT has the right to suspend Services or access to Services until all Fees and ancillary fees have been paid in full.
19.4.4 Subscriber represents and warrants to IWT that (i) it is the owner of the Credit Card or Bank Account, and (ii) charges to the Credit Card or Bank Account in accordance with these TOS will not be disputed. Subscriber acknowledges that the origination of charges to the Credit Card or Bank Account must comply with the applicable provisions of U.S. law.
19.4.5 Subscriber will provide and continuously maintain with IWT valid and updated Credit Card or Bank Account information.
19.5. Late Payment. If any amount owing by Subscriber is thirty (30) or more days overdue, without limiting IWT’s remedies, IWT may (a) accelerate the entirety of Subscriber’s unpaid Fee obligations under such agreement as well as any other agreement between Subscriber and IWT so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Services, and (b) in its sole discretion, and with no liability whatsoever for doing so, suspend the provision of any or all Services, or any other services, benefits, products, content, or data that it may be obligated to provide under this Services Agreement and/or any other agreement or arrangement between Subscriber and IWT until such time as all such overdue amounts, along with any applicable late fees or interest, have been paid in full. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it shall be liable for any amounts incurred by IWT in enforcing any of IWT’s rights to any payments due hereunder including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and any amounts charged by a collections agency or service.
19.6. Fee Increases. IWT has the right to increase the Fees for any of Services in its sole discretion by providing at least thirty (30) days prior written notice in accordance with the TOS. For the avoidance of doubt, no such Fee increase will take effect in connection with the Services that Subscriber has subscribed to until the current term of such Services has been completed. Furthermore, no one-time Fees may be retroactively increased by IWT.
SUBSCRIBER’S DATA
20.1. Subscriber represents and warrants that it has made and secured from its Customers all privacy notifications, permissions, and disclosures, and Subscriber further represents and warrants that Subscriber has secured any consent required by law, rule, or regulation from any applicable parties who own or control information (personal or otherwise) that is transmitted to IWT in connection with the Services for IWT to use and disclose such information as contemplated herein.
20.2 If IWT processes any Personal Information on Subscriber’s behalf when performing the Services (or any part thereof), Subscriber represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that: (a) it is entitled to transfer the relevant Personal Information to IWT so that IWT may lawfully use, process and transfer the Personal Information in accordance with this Services Agreement on Subscriber’s behalf; (b) Subscriber shall ensure that the relevant third parties, if required, have been informed of, and have given their consent to, such use, processing, and transfer as required by all applicable current and future data protection legislation; (c) IWT shall use the Personal Information only in accordance with the terms of this Services Agreement.
20.3 Subscriber shall own all rights, title and interest in and to all of Subscriber’s Data and shall have sole responsibility for the legality, reliability, integrity, accuracy and quality of Subscriber’s Data.
20.4 In the event of any loss or damage to Subscriber’s Data, Subscriber’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be for IWT to use commercially reasonable efforts to restore Subscriber’s lost or damaged data from the latest back-up of such Subscriber’s Data maintained by IWT in accordance with its archiving procedure as updated from time to time. IWT shall not be responsible for any loss, destruction or alteration of Subscriber’s Data caused by any third party except if such loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure was the direct result of a breach of IWT’s obligation under the Services Agreement or IWT’s violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations. In the event of any loss, damage or alteration of Subscriber’s Data, Subscriber shall not incur any additional fees to restore Subscriber’s Data.
THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES.
21. The Services may contain links to third party websites and services. Any such link is provided only as a convenience. The inclusion of any link does not imply an affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, approval, investigation, verification or monitoring by IWT of any information contained in any such third-party website or service. In no event shall IWT be responsible for the information contained on such website or service or Subscriber’s use of or inability to use such website or service. Subscriber should also be aware that the terms and conditions and privacy policy of such website or service and that such terms of service and privacy policy may be different from those included in this Services Agreement.
COMMUNICATIONS TO SUBSCRIBER’S CUSTOMERS.
22.1 Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that, as between Subscriber and IWT, and except as set forth in this Section, Subscriber is responsible for compliance with all federal, state or other applicable laws governing the use of the Services, including but not limited to laws applicable to direct marketing including telemarketing, and privacy.
22.2 Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Services provided by IWT merely constitute “routine conveyance,” as such term is defined in 15 U.S.C. § 7702 (CAN SPAM Act), in connection with the transmission of any electronic mail messages on Subscriber’s behalf.
22.3 If Subscriber has agreed to use the Services in respect of the provision by IWT of direct mail and e-mail campaign services in respect of Subscriber’s Customers, Subscriber agrees that Subscriber is solely responsible for maintaining, and making available to IWT, on at least a monthly basis, an accurate, complete and current list of opt-out or suppression requests from Subscriber’s Customers and the communication channels in respect of which such requests were made. Subscriber agrees that if IWT receives any opt-out or suppression request from any of Subscriber’s Customers (whether through Subscriber or through other means or from other sources), IWT will limit the Services consistent with such opt-out or suppression request, unless Subscriber notifies IWT in writing (including by electronic mail) that such request has subsequently been modified or revoked. Subscriber agrees that IWT is entitled to rely on any representation by Subscriber, whether oral or in writing (including by electronic mail), with respect to Subscriber’s’ opt-out or suppression requests, and a failure by Subscriber to include the name and other relevant details of an opt-out request from any of Subscriber’s Customers shall constitute a representation by Subscriber that an opt-out request has not been received. Subscriber’s acceptance of reliance by IWT on any such representation by Subscriber shall absolve IWT of any responsibility or liability whatsoever with respect to all federal, state or other applicable laws governing the use of the Services and of Customers’ opt-out or suppression requests from time to time. IWT shall provide Subscriber, on at least a weekly basis, notice of opt-out or suppression requests that IWT shall have received from any of Subscriber’s Customers in connection with the provision of the Services. Under no circumstances shall IWT be liable to any person whatsoever for Subscriber’s failure to reconcile such requests from Subscriber’s Customers with Subscriber’s systems and records at such times and with such regularity as required by law, by contract or otherwise provided IWT has complied with its obligations under the Services Agreement.
ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS.
23. IWT uses reasonable security measures and takes reasonable system, process and administrative precautions to protect the security and integrity of email and other electronic communications that Subscriber may send to IWT. Despite all these precautions, no method of transmission over the Internet is entirely secure and IWT cannot guarantee the confidentiality or security of Subscriber’s electronic communications or its contents. Subscriber transmits such information at Subscriber’s own risk and Subscriber should decide very carefully which information Subscriber wants to send to IWT via any electronic communication.

32. Dispute Resolution. Both IWT and Subscriber shall resolve any claim, cause of action or dispute either Party has with the other arising out of or relating to this Services Agreement exclusively in a state or federal court located in Delaware County, Pennsylvania or Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.

Subscriber agrees to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, for the purpose of litigating all such claims.
IWT AND SUBSCRIBER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-COMPLAINT IN ANY ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES AGREEMENT OR ANY PORTION THERETO.
In any dispute arising under this Services Agreement, the prevailing Party will be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. Any dispute arising hereunder or related to this Services Agreement or any of the benefits hereunder shall be solely between Subscriber and IWT, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, no dispute or proceeding shall be joined with any other or decided on a class-action basis.
