  1. GENERAL TERMS

12.1 Relationship of the Parties. Both parties agree that they are independent entities and that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, fiduciary, agency, or affiliate relationship between the parties. Each party is responsible for the supervision, management and direction of its own employees and agents. Each party is responsible for the payment of compensation to its employees and for any injury to them occurring in the course of their employment and neither party shall be responsible for the supervision, management and direction of the employees of the other party.

12.2 Force Majeure. Neither party will be deemed in default of this Agreement to the extent that performance of its obligations or attempts to cure any breach are delayed or prevented by reason of any event beyond the reasonable control of such party, including any act of God (i.e., fire, earthquake, natural disaster), act of government (i.e., war, terrorism, embargo), or any other act or circumstance that is beyond the reasonable control of such party, provided that such party gives the other party prompt written notice thereof. In the event the delay or non-performance continues for a period of at least forty-five (45) days, the party affected by the other’s delay or inability to perform may elect to terminate this Agreement for convenience, at no charge and receive a refund of any pre-paid fees.

12.3 Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that violation of Section 6 (Confidential Information & Intellectual Property) may cause the other party or its affiliates irreparable injury not compensable by money damages alone for which the non-breaching party or affiliates will not have an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the non-breaching party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief (without posting a bond) to enforce such provisions or to prevent or curtail any breach thereof, threatened or actual. The foregoing shall be in addition to and without prejudice to or limitation on any other rights either party may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

12.4 Notices. All notices, requests and demands, other than invoices and routine communications under this Agreement, shall be transmitted electronically in writing and shall be effective upon receipt. Any notice required to be delivered under this Agreement other than invoices and routine communications shall be delivered via email, in the case of Subscriber, to the email listed in the most recent Order Form, and in the case of ECO4FOOD, to legal@toogoodtogo.com. Either party may from time to time change the individual(s) to receive notices under this Section and its address for notification purposes by giving the other prior written notice as provided in this Section of the new individual(s) and address and the date upon which the change will become effective.

12.5 Entire Agreement, Amendment & Waiver. This Agreement supersedes in full all prior discussions and agreements (oral or written) between the parties relating to the subject matter herein, and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating thereto. ECO4FOOD may make changes to this Agreement from time to time by providing you with prior notice before any change takes effect in accordance with local law or regulation. Such change will not apply retrospectively to your use of the Services, but the updated terms will immediately apply to you if you use the Services after the effective date of the updated Agreement terms. If you or any User do not terminate your use of the Services before the date the revised agreement terms become effective, continued access to or use of the Services will constitute acceptance of the revised subscription agreement terms. The failure of either party at any time to enforce any right or remedy available to it under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to any breach or failure by the other party shall not be construed to be a waiver of such right or remedy with respect to any other breach or failure by the other party.

12.6 Assignment. Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (in whole or in part) without prior written permission from the other party, provided that either party may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or successor in interest by merger, acquisition or reorganization. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and constitute a material breach of this Agreement. In the event of a permitted assignment, the assigning party shall provide written notice to the other party. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding on the parties, their successors, permitted assigns and legal representatives. No other person shall have any rights, interest or claims hereunder or be entitled to any benefits under or on account of this Agreement as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise. In the event Subscriber assigns this Agreement pursuant to this Section, Subscriber will, if required by ECO4FOOD, negotiate with ECO4FOOD in good faith applicable terms reflective of the size and scale of the assignee and its use of the Services in connection with such assignment.

12.8 Judicial Modification. THE PARTIES INTEND THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS VALID AND SHALL BE ENFORCED AS WRITTEN. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and the unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the enforceability of this Agreement or any other provision hereof. In addition, in the event that any provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof) is determined by a court to be unenforceable as drafted, the parties acknowledge that it is their intention that such provision (or portion thereof) shall be construed in a manner designed to effectuate the purposes of such provision to the maximum extent enforceable under applicable law.

12.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or other electronic means, and in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which will together constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event of an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as drafted in English without regard to any translations, and as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favouring or disfavouring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. If any provision in an Order Form conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will control, unless the provision specifically refers to and expressly overrides the conflicting terms of this Agreement. Unless explicitly specified to the contrary, the word “including” wherever used herein shall be construed to mean “including without limitation”, and “affiliates” shall be construed to mean any entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with a party, whether existing at or after execution of the Agreement.
