7. Suspension; Termination
7.1 Termination for Cause — by QuoteTxt
QuoteTxt may suspend or terminate Subscriber's access upon thirty (30) days' written notice if Subscriber materially breaches this MSA and fails to cure such breach within the notice period. QuoteTxt may suspend or terminate immediately, without a cure period, if:
- Subscriber fails to pay undisputed fees and does not cure within ten (10) business days after written notice of non-payment
- Subscriber's use of the Subscription Services violates applicable law, carrier rules, or presents an imminent security threat to the platform or other subscribers
- Subscriber is subject to sanctions, government action, or other regulatory prohibition that prevents QuoteTxt from lawfully providing the Subscription Services

Sections 1, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 16–18 survive termination.
8. Data Rights; Derived Data; Feedback
8.1 Customer Data Ownership
Subscriber retains all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Data. Subscriber grants QuoteTxt a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to collect, use, process, store, transmit, and disclose Customer Data solely as necessary to:
- Provide, operate, and support the Subscription Services
- Enforce this MSA and applicable policies
- Maintain security, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations
8.2 Derived Data
QuoteTxt may generate and own Derived Data from aggregated, de-identified usage across the platform.

QuoteTxt may aggregate and de-identify Customer Data using the standard set forth in Section 8.2. Such aggregated data shall be treated as Derived Data.
8.4 Feedback
If Subscriber provides feedback, suggestions, or enhancement requests, QuoteTxt may use such feedback without restriction or compensation. Subscriber acknowledges this does not grant QuoteTxt any rights to Customer Data beyond those specified in Section 8.1.
9. Data Retention; Export
Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Subscriber may request an export of Customer Data within sixty (60) days. Export will be provided in a standard, machine-readable format (e.g., CSV or JSON). After sixty (60) days, QuoteTxt may delete Customer Data in accordance with its retention policies and applicable law. QuoteTxt will provide reasonable cooperation with any data export request.
10. Disclaimers
11. Limitation of Liability
(a) NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION OR THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
(b) EACH PARTY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY SUBSCRIBER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.
(c) THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION DO NOT APPLY TO: (i) DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY A PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE; (ii) FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION; OR (iii) EITHER PARTY'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 12 WITH RESPECT TO THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS.
12. Indemnification
12.1 Indemnification by Subscriber
Subscriber shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless QuoteTxt and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against all third-party claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
- Subscriber's communications or content transmitted through the Subscription Services
- Subscriber's failure to obtain required end-customer consent
- Subscriber's violation of applicable law or carrier rules
- Disputes between Subscriber and its end customers arising from Subscriber's business operations
12.2 Indemnification by QuoteTxt
QuoteTxt shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Subscriber and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against all third-party claims alleging that the Subscription Services, as provided by QuoteTxt and used by Subscriber in accordance with this Agreement, infringe any third-party patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret. QuoteTxt's obligations under this Section 12.2 do not apply to claims arising from: (a) Subscriber's modification of the Subscription Services; (b) Subscriber's combination of the Subscription Services with third-party products not authorized by QuoteTxt; or (c) Subscriber's use of the Subscription Services in violation of this Agreement.
12.3 Indemnification Procedure
The indemnified party shall: (a) promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of any claim (provided that failure to provide prompt notice only reduces the indemnifying party's obligations to the extent it is materially prejudiced by the delay); (b) give the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim; and (c) provide reasonable cooperation and assistance. The indemnifying party shall not settle any claim in a manner that imposes obligations on the indemnified party without its prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
13. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally through good-faith negotiation for a period of thirty (30) days before initiating formal proceedings. Exclusive venue for any formal legal proceedings lies in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and each party hereby consents to personal jurisdiction in such courts.
14. Amendments
QuoteTxt may amend this MSA upon at least thirty (30) days' written notice, delivered via email to Subscriber's registered address or via in-app notification. If Subscriber objects to a material amendment, Subscriber may terminate its subscription before the amendment's effective date, and QuoteTxt will provide a pro-rata refund of prepaid fees for the unused portion of the then-current Subscription Term. Continued use of the Subscription Services after the amendment effective date constitutes acceptance of the amended MSA.
15. Acceptance
By accepting this MSA, Subscriber represents that: (a) it has the authority to bind the business entity identified at the time of registration; (b) it has read and understands this Agreement; and (c) it agrees to all incorporated documents.
16. Confidentiality
Each party agrees to: (a) hold the other party's Confidential Information in strict confidence using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, but no less than reasonable care; (b) use the other party's Confidential Information only as necessary to fulfill obligations or exercise rights under this Agreement; and (c) disclose the other party's Confidential Information only to employees, contractors, and advisors who have a need to know and are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those in this Agreement.
Confidentiality obligations under this Section survive termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose Confidential Information as required by applicable law or court order, provided that the disclosing party gives the other party prompt written notice (to the extent permitted by law) and cooperates with the other party's efforts to seek a protective order.
17. Data Security
QuoteTxt will maintain commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of Customer Data. QuoteTxt will notify Subscriber without undue delay — and in any event within seventy-two (72) hours — upon becoming aware of a confirmed security breach that materially affects Customer Data. Subscriber is responsible for maintaining the security of its account credentials and for promptly notifying QuoteTxt of any unauthorized access.
18. General Provisions
18.1 Entire Agreement
This Agreement, together with all incorporated documents, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior negotiations, representations, warranties, and understandings. No terms in any Subscriber purchase order or other document will modify this Agreement unless expressly agreed to in writing by QuoteTxt.
18.2 Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if not possible, severed from this Agreement.
18.3 Waiver
No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of that right. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the waiving party to be effective.
18.4 Assignment
Subscriber may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without QuoteTxt's prior written consent. QuoteTxt may assign this Agreement without consent in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. Any assignment in violation of this Section is void. This Agreement binds and inures to the benefit of each party's permitted successors and assigns.
18.5 Force Majeure
Neither party will be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations (other than payment obligations) resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, government actions, internet or network outages, or third-party carrier failures. The affected party will provide prompt notice of any such event and use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance.
18.6 Notices
All formal legal notices under this Agreement must be in writing and delivered: (a) to QuoteTxt at its registered address on file with the State of Delaware, with a copy to legal@quotetxt.com; or (b) to Subscriber at the email address associated with its account. Notices are deemed delivered upon confirmed transmission for email, or upon delivery for written correspondence. Routine operational communications (billing, product updates) may be sent by email alone.
18.7 Relationship of the Parties
The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, employment relationship, franchise, or agency between the parties. Neither party has authority to bind the other party or to incur obligations on the other party's behalf.
18.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries
This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer any rights or remedies on any third party.
18.9 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. Electronic acceptance (click-through, DocuSign, or equivalent) is valid and binding to the same extent as a handwritten signature.
