If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization, and you are representing to Amplifier that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms (in which case, “you” or “Client” will refer to the organization).

If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of these Terms and the applicable Policies, you should not, and are not permitted to, use the Services. These Terms and the Policies form a contract between you and Copernica, Inc. d/b/a Amplifier that defines and governs your use of and access to the Services (as defined below in Section 1). You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and the Policies and only if you have the power and right to form a contract with Amplifier.

Amplifier reserves the right to request deposits and/or enforce minimum Account Balances prior to performing Services (e.g. purchasing blank inventory, receiving third-party inventory or fulfilling orders) to help cover the related costs. Certain services require prepayment, e.g. Screen Printing per a sales order and Crowdfunding Fulfillment per an estimate prepared using actual order data that you submit.

Client and Amplifier hereby acknowledge and agree that all Confidential Information shall be kept confidential and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, be disclosed by the Receiving Party in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, other than to the Disclosing Party’s Agents, and shall not be used, directly or indirectly, for any purpose other than in connection with these Terms. Moreover, Client and Amplifier agree to reveal Confidential Information only to their Agents if and to the extent that such Agents (i) have a strict need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of the Receiving Party satisfying its obligations under these Terms and (ii) are informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information. Client and Amplifier shall each be responsible for any breach of these Terms or any applicable Policy by their respective Agents (including Agents who, subsequent to the first date of disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder, become former Agents). Moreover, Client and Amplifier shall take all reasonably necessary measures to restrain their respective Agents (and former Agents) from unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information.

6.3 Exceptions.

(a) at the time of disclosure to the Receiving Party is generally available to and known by the public (other than as a result of any disclosure made directly or indirectly or other action or inaction by the Receiving Party);

(b) becomes publicly available in the future (other than as a result of a disclosure made directly or indirectly or other action or inaction by the Receiving Party);

(c) was available to the Receiving Party or its Agents on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any of their respective Agents providing such information (provided that to the Receiving Party’s knowledge, such source was not bound to maintain the confidentiality of such information); or

(d) has been independently acquired or developed by the Receiving Party without violating any of its obligations under these Terms.

9.1 LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY.

IN NO EVENT SHALL AMPLIFIER’S LIABILITY HEREUNDER INCLUDE ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES OR DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR LOST BUSINESS, EVEN IF AMPLIFIER SHALL HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH POTENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE. IN NO EVENT WILL AMPLIFIER’S AGGREGATE, CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE SUM OF ALL AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID TO AMPLIFIER BY CLIENT UNDER THESE TERMS DURING THE 12 MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE FIRST EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS CUMULATIVE, WITH ALL PAYMENTS BEING AGGREGATED TO DETERMINE SATISFACTION OF THE LIMIT. THE EXISTENCE OF TWO OR MORE CLAIMS OR SUITS WILL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT. CLIENT AGREES THAT REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO USE OF THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE, OR BE FOREVER BARRED. IN THE EVENT OF AN UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTION BY AN AMPLIFIER EMPLOYEE OR AGENT, AMPLIFIER IS ONLY LIABLE FOR THE DAMAGES CAP. AMPLIFIER MUST BE NOTIFIED WITHIN FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER ANY CLIENT KNOW ABOUT OR REASONABLY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT SUCH UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTION OR YOU WAIVE ALL DAMAGES FROM AMPLIFIER. AMPLIFIER’S LIABILITY REFERRED TO BELOW SHALL BE YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST AMPLIFIER FOR ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION WHATSOEVER RELATING TO LOSS, DAMAGE AND/OR DESTRUCTION OF INVENTORY AND SHALL APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS INCLUDING INVENTORY SHORTAGE AND MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE CLAIMS UNLESS YOU PROVE BY AFFIRMATIVE EVIDENCE THAT AMPLIFIER CONVERTED THE GOODS TO ITS OWN USE. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHTS TO RELY UPON ANY PRESUMPTION OF CONVERSION IMPOSED BY LAW.

9.2 Third Party Liability.

By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Amplifier disclaims all liability for the acts or omissions (including, without limitation, any negligence or willful misconduct) of any third party whether or not retained by or selected by Amplifier.

9.3. Annual Goods Shrinkage Allowance.

Handling physical inventory could result in loss or damage of items. While we operate with high standards, facilities may from time to time encounter mislabeled or mispicked items, concealed shortages, product damages, and/or cross shipments. Amplifier provides client-friendly receiving and product labeling requirements which are intended to reduce the incidence of inventory issues. You agree that Amplifier will have a 2% shrink allowance based on the value of your account’s product known to be an Amplifier facility based on the stated cost value measured on an annual basis and subject to Limitations of Liability in this Section 9. Explainable, offsetting inventory adjustments based on mis-labeled inventory or receiving inventory errors will not be deemed an inventory shrinkage event or lost inventory.

9.4. Maximum Liability for Loss/Damage. 

In any event, the maximum liability for Amplifier for loss or damage of any Client Inventory shall be the lower of (i) Client’s replacement cost for such Client Inventory at current prices or (ii) the fully depreciated fair market value (taking into account, among other things, condition and salability) of such Client Inventory prior to such loss or damage, less (in the case of (i) and (ii) for damaged Client Inventory) the salvage value of such damaged Client Inventory. IN NO EVENT SHALL AMPLIFIER BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST SALES REVENUE FROM THE INVENTORY.

9.5. Projects and Printing.

IN THE EVENT OF A LOSS DUE TO A PROJECT DEFINED AS AN HOURLY OR PIECE WORK DONE ON EXPECTED OR HELD INVENTORY (“PROJECT”), YOU DECLARE THAT AMPLIFIER’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE CHARGE YOU PAID TO AMPLIFIER FOR THE PROJECT. IN ADDITION, FOR ANY INVENTORY PRODUCTION JOB PERFORMED BY AMPLIFIER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, SCREEN PRINTING), YOU DECLARE THAT AMPLIFIER’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE PRODUCTION COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PARTICULAR PRODUCTION JOB.

10.Government Actions.

Client hereby agrees to promptly provide Amplifier copies of all complaints or inquiries received by it from any governmental agency that in any way relate to or have a potential effect on the Services provided hereunder. In the event Amplifier is required, as a result of any such action, to change the manner in which it does business in any material respect, Amplifier shall negotiate in good faith with Client to amend all applicable sections and provisions of these Terms to respond to and reflect the requirements of such government directive. If such negotiation is unsuccessful after a reasonable amount of time, then these Terms and the availability of such Services shall terminate as soon as practicable. Amplifier hereby agrees that it will promptly forward to Client copies of all written complaints or written inquiries addressed to Amplifier from any governmental agency in any way relating to or having a potential effect on the Services provided hereunder.
