To the extent that the foregoing is deemed ineffective, User hereby grants to ShipperBee (and its successors and assigns) a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, paid-up right and license, with the right to grant sublicenses to others, through multiple levels, to use, sell, offer for sale, make or have made, display, perform, reproduce, modify and create derivative works, import, export, and distribute and otherwise freely exploit the Feedback, in whole or in part, in any and all media, whether alone or together or as part of any material of any kind or nature.

Termination will not relieve User of any obligations accrued prior to the effective date of termination.
- ShipperBee reserves the right to modify or discontinue the ShipperBee System at any time and may do so without liability to any User.
8. Confidentiality
- During provision of the Services, User may have access to confidential information, including in respect of the ShipperBee, its related entities or third parties ("Confidential Information"). User agrees that while it is an independent contractor and at all times thereafter, User will not, without the prior written consent of ShipperBee, except as required by law or for User to obtain professional advice: (i) reveal, disclose or make known any Confidential Information to any person; or (ii) use the Confidential Information for any purpose, other than for the purpose of providing the Services in connection with this Agreement.
- If a User discloses Confidential Information, ShipperBee may, at its sole discretion, terminate the User’s Agreement with the Company, revoke Driver’s license to use the ShipperBee System and ShipperBee App(s) and look to other remedies available at law to the Company.
9. Indemnity and Release; Limitation of Liability
- User will, at its own cost, indemnify, defend and hold ShipperBee, its affiliates, and its and their respective distributors, dealers, resellers, providers, suppliers, licensors, officers, directors, employees, agents, independent Carriers and representatives (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all losses, fines, settlements, fees, costs, damages, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of investigation) arising or resulting in any manner from User’s breach of or other failure to strictly comply with these Terms or from any access to or use of (or the inability to access or use) the ShipperBee System, or any portion thereof. USER HEREBY RELEASE THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LIABILITIES AND LOSSES IN CONNECTION WITH THE SHIPPERBEE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM THE TOTAL OR PARTIAL FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE OF THE SHIPPERBEE SYSTEM, EVEN IF CAUSED BY THE FAULT OR NEGLIGENCE OF SHIPPERBEE OR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTY, OR THE MALFUNCTION OF SHIPPERBEE SYSTEM.
- ShipperBee does not assume any responsibility or liability to Users or any third party for any losses or damages (including any direct, indirect, special, reliance, incidental or exemplary damages and consequential damages or loss of anticipated profits, attorneys’ fees or economic loss), irrespective of the cause, that may occur even if due to ShipperBee’s negligent performance or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms or any other basis. In the event of any breach of these Terms by ShipperBee, User’s sole and exclusive remedy, and ShipperBee’s sole and exclusive obligation, will be the refund the applicable License Fee (if any) paid for the portion of ShipperBee System that is the subject of such breach by ShipperBee.
- This agreement is for the sole benefit of ShipperBee, the Users and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is not intended to nor shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of these Terms.
- In the event that, notwithstanding these Terms, ShipperBee is held to be liable to a User, or any invitees, agents, employees or other person or entity, regardless of the legal theory asserted, whether arising out of contract, extra-contractually or in tort (including actions based on negligence, gross negligence, strict liability, and willful and/or intentional conduct), warranty, indemnity, or other theory of liability and whether related to the design, performance, use, defect or failure of a product or service, then to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the limitation of ShipperBee’s liability for any and all harm, damages, injury or loss will not exceed, in the aggregate,$100. USER HEREBY RELEASES THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM, AND WAIVE ALL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES EXCEEDING THE LIMITS SET FORTH HEREIN FOR ALL HARM, DAMAGES, INJURY OR LOSS INCURRED, INCLUDING ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, COLLATERAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, RELIANCE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF DATA (DIRECT OR INDIRECT), GOODWILL, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, ATTORNEYS FEES, REPUTATION, REVENUE, OR PROFITS), EVEN IF FORESEEABLE OR THEY WERE ADVISED OR MADE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL LIABILITY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, AND WILLFUL AND/OR INTENTIONAL CONDUCT), WARRANTY, INDEMNITY, OR OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY. This limitation is a material inducement for ShipperBee to furnish the ShipperBee System to USER. Some states or other jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability, so the above limitations may not apply, and User may have other legal rights that vary by jurisdiction.
- TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, USER AGREES THAT NO LAWSUIT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING CONNECTED WITH THESE TERMS, OR SHIPPERBEE SYSTEM WILL BE BROUGHT OR FILED BY USER MORE THAN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE INCIDENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OCCURRED.

- User understands and acknowledges that (i) the software and devices that make up the ShipperBee System are not impenetrable and may be the subject of efforts by others to compromise the security or operation of such ShipperBee System or to intercept data passing from, to or between components of the ShipperBee System; and (ii) bad actors may attempt to use or hijack User’s device(s) and portions of the software as a part of an Internet of Things botnet or for other harmful or illegal purposes. Should any such acts, compromise or other incident occur, ShipperBee’s liability will be limited as provided herein, and ShipperBee will have no responsibility or obligation to investigate, remediate, or remedy such acts, compromise, or incident. ShipperBee will notify Users of an incident to the extent required by applicable law.
- No waiver by ShipperBee of any of the provisions of this agreement is effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by ShipperBee. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights remedy, power or privilege arising from this agreement operates or may be construed as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder precludes any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
- Agreement and Amendment. These Terms are effective upon acceptance by User, supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications relating to the ShipperBee System, any Site and/or ShipperBee Apps, and constitute the entire agreement between User and ShipperBee with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no written or oral understandings that are not fully expressed in these Terms relating to such subject matter.
- These terms are subject to change by ShipperBee, at its sole discretion, and User will be deemed to have received notice if sent by ShipperBee by electronic mail or by posting on the Site. ShipperBee may update these Terms – and in any case, continued use of ShipperBee system indicates User’s agreement to such changes.
