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).

These Policies cover topics included but not limited to Accounts; Fees; Item Eligibility; Restricted Activities; Receiving and Storage; Shipping; Order Conveyance; Production; Projects; and Customer-support Services.
Your breach of these Terms or any applicable Policy will excuse Amplifier’s performance of the Services and may result in your incurring additional fees from Amplifier or third parties.
2. Usage Fees and Balances.
Unless otherwise stated, Amplifier specifies all rates and pricing under these Terms in US dollars.
2.1 Account Balances.
Your Account must be funded at or above the Minimum Balance (“Minimum”), which Amplifier may set, in order to receive Services. Immediately on notice to you, Amplifier may raise or lower your Account Minimum.
The funds you maintain in your Amplifier Account comprise your “Account Balance”. Amplifier will deduct from your Account Balance charges for Services as they are incurred. 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. Amplifier reserves the right to hold the Minimum or your Account Balance for up to 90 Days in the event that your Account is closed for any reason.
2.2 Estimates.
Usage Fees and final rates will be based on the actual costs of the work performed. Quotes and estimates for Services and Usage Fees (as defined in Section 2.3) are estimates based on information available at that time.

2.6 Lien.
You agree that Amplifier has a lien against the inventory and on the proceeds thereof for all Usage Fees as well as any reasonable expenses incurred by Amplifier for the preservation of the inventory or its sale pursuant to law. By agreeing to these Terms you hereby grant such a lien to Amplifier and authorize Amplifier to file any and all UCC-1 or other filings necessary or appropriate to perfect such a lien.
2.7 Abandoned Account.
Please keep your Registration Information current. Please maintain an adequate Minimum Balance and pay Usage Fees on time to keep your Account current. Promptly share any Account questions or disputes per these Terms. If Usage Fees remain unpaid for more than 30 days, then Amplifier may at its sole discretion classify your Account as Abandoned. Any account that has unpaid Usage Fees for 60 days will automatically be classified as Abandoned. An Abandoned Account forfeits rights to inventory, which will become immediately and irrevocably unavailable to you and may be liquidated immediately, free and clear of any liability, with you having no right to any liquidation proceeds while also remaining liable for any Usage Fees in excess of the liquidation proceeds.

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.

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.

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.

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.
