2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
Kye is providing Customer with the capability to store and retrieve certain personnel time and expense accounting data ("data") via the World Wide Web and Kye's system pursuant to the TOS. Kye will charge Customer on a monthly basis for this Service, with the exception of any initial set up or customization charges. The Customer is responsible to: (1) provide all equipment, including computers and modems necessary to establish a connection to the World Wide Web; (2) provide for its own access to World Wide Web and pay for any telephone or network service fees or costs associated with such access.

In consideration for this Service, Customer agrees to: (1) provide certain current, complete and accurate information about Customer as prompted to do so by the Service and (2) maintain and update this information as required to keep it current, complete and accurate. All information requested through the original sign up process shall be referred to as subscription data ("Subscription Data"). Kye will take all reasonable measures not to divulge this information to any third party unless: (1) Customer expressly directs Kye to disclose such information; or (2) Kye is required to disclose such information by any applicable law or legal process served on Kye.

If any information provided by Customer is inaccurate, Kye retains the right to terminate Customer's rights to use the Service.

3. MODIFICATIONS TO TERMS OF SERVICE
Kye may amend or modify the terms and conditions of the TOS at any time and from time to time. Upon any change in the terms and conditions of the TOS, Kye will notify the Customer by email to the Customer's administrator's email address. Also, the Customer is responsible to regularly review Kye's website to obtain timely notice of any such amendments. Customer's continued use of the Service constitutes an affirmative: (1) acknowledgement by Customer of the TOS and its modifications; and (2) agreement by Customer to abide and be bound by the TOS and its modifications.

4. MODIFICATIONS TO SERVICE
Kye reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Service with or without notice to Customer. Kye shall not be liable to Customer or any third party should Kye exercise its right to modify or discontinue the Service.

5. INITIAL SET-UP FEE AND PAYMENT TERMS
Prior to Customer commencing use of the Service, Customer may pay to Kye an initial, non-refundable set-up fee as set forth in the Pricing section of the Subscription web page, incorporated herein by reference. Upon Customer's commencing use of the Service, the payment required for use of the Service as also set forth in the Subscription web page, shall be due and payable in full in accordance with the payment terms thereunder. Interest will be charged on all delinquent accounts at a rate equal to the greater of: (i) one and one-half percent (1 ½%) per month or (ii) the maximum allowable under law.

6. PRIVACY POLICY
It is Kye's policy to respect the privacy of its Customers. Therefore, in addition to the privacy of Subscription Data as discussed in Section 2 above, Kye will not monitor, edit, or disclose the contents of a Customer's private communications unless required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Kye; (2) protect and defend the rights or property of Kye; or (3) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of its Customers or the public.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that Kye neither endorses the contents of any Customer communications nor assumes responsibility for any threatening, libelous, obscene, harassing or offensive material contained therein, any infringement of third party intellectual property rights arising therefrom or any crime facilitated thereby.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that certain technical processing of data may be required to: (1) work with the Service; (2) conform to connecting networks' technical requirements; (3) conform to the limitations of the Service; or (4) conform to other similar requirements.

7. ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT, PASSWORD, PRIVATE WEBSITE
When Customer signs up for the Service, Customer will receive an initial administrator logon identification code, password, and Service web address (URL) for a private Customer website through which Customer will conduct its use of the Service. The administrator logon identification code will be used by the Customer or the Customer's designee to create and modify all other logon accounts for access to the Customer's Service website. Customer is solely responsible to maintain the confidentiality of the administrator logon identification code, password and account information. Furthermore, Customer is entirely responsible for any and all activities that occur at the Customer's Service website. Customer agrees to immediately notify Kye of any unauthorized use of Customer's account or any other breach of security known to Customer.

13. TERMINATION
Either Customer or Kye may terminate the Service with or without cause at any time and effective immediately. Termination shall be accompanied by a written notice to the other party. Kye shall not be liable to Customer or any third party for termination of the Service.

14. NOTICE
All notices to a party shall be in writing and shall be made either via email or conventional mail. Kye may broadcast notices or messages through the Service to inform Customer of changes to the TOS, the Service, or other matters of importance; such broadcasts shall constitute notice to Customer.

15. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS TO CONTENT
Customer acknowledges that content of the Service, including but not limited to text, software, music, sound, photographs, video, graphics or other material contained in the Service or email-distributed, commercially produced information presented to Customer by the Service or by Kye, is the sole and exclusive property of Kye and is protected by copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patents or other proprietary rights and laws; therefore, Customer is only permitted to use this content as expressly authorized by the Service. Customer may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from this content without expressly being authorized to do so by Kye in writing.

16. MISCELLANEOUS
16.1 This TOS embodies the entire understanding between the parties and there are not other agreements, representations, warranties or understandings, oral or written, between them with respect to the subject matter of this TOS. No alteration, modification or change of the TOS shall be valid and enforceable unless approved by Kye in writing.

16.2 Customer agrees to hold all parts of the Service (including the Terms of Service) in confidence for Kye. Customer, its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives or other designees shall not disclose or cause to be disclosed to any third party any part or all of the Service or the terms of this TOS. Customer may disclose the Service or the terms of the TOS to employees of Customer to whom such disclosure is necessary to utilize the Service in accordance with the terms hereunder. Customer shall appropriately notify all employees to whom any such disclosure is made that such disclosure is made in confidence and shall be kept in confidence by them.

16.3 Any suit or action filed to enforce or contest any provision of this TOS, or the obligations imposed, shall be brought and prosecuted in a court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the Commonwealth of Connecticut. Any suit, action, or proceeding concerning any disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of or relating to the Services or this TOS shall be instituted in any applicable court in Connecticut. Customer irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction and venue of such court for such purposes. Provided, however, that Kye may elect to submit such matter to arbitration in Connecticut, in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association under an accelerated format such that the case shall be heard within thirty (30) days of submission. Kye reserves its right to bring suit in any court elsewhere of competent jurisdiction and is not required to submit to arbitration.

16.4 If any of the provisions of the TOS are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any applicable law, then such contravention or invalidity shall not invalidate the entire agreement. Such provisions shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and enforceable, and if no such modification shall render it legal, valid and enforceable, then this TOS shall be construed as if not containing the provision held to be invalid and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly with the other provisions remaining in full force and effect. The provisions of Paragraphs 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16.2, 16.3, 16.4, 16.5, 16.9 and 16.10 shall survive termination of the Service.

16.5 Customer acknowledges and agrees that Kye would be damaged irreparably in the event that any of the provisions of this TOS are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, Customer agrees that Kye shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this TOS and to specifically enforce this TOS and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the U.S. or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled hereunder, at law or in equity.

16.6 If at any time Customer or Kye retains one or more attorneys to enforce any covenant or provision of this TOS, or to defend itself against any claim by any other party hereto, whether or not suit is filed, the party who is wholly or partially successful shall be entitled to damages inclusive of the amount of such party's reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and costs; this covenant shall survive the termination of the Service.

16.7 Kye's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

16.8 Customer and Kye agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the Service must commence within the allowed time specified by Connecticut law; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

16.9 This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any individual, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, association, joint stock company, trust, joint venture, unincorporated organization, governmental entity (or any department, agency or political subdivision thereof) or any other or similar type of entity other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assignees.

16.10 Customer shall not assign any of its rights, duties or obligations nor delegate any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Kye, which consent may be arbitrarily withheld. To the extent assignable, this TOS shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors (including, specifically, any person or entity acquiring or otherwise succeeding to ownership of all or substantially all of the assets of any party hereto) and permitted assigns.

16.11 The paragraph titles and headings in this TOS are included for convenience of reference only and in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof, nor shall they be considered in the interpretation or construction of any provision in this TOS.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, intending to be legally bound hereby, by clicking on the button labeled "I HAVE READ AND ACCEPT THE TERMS OF SERVICE" on the Kyebot® service sign up form, the Customer has caused this TOS to be executed.
