Customer may download the Mobile App to its compatible hand-held devices, which will provide Customer with certain administrative functionality with respect to the Gift Card Program as set forth in Section 2.3 hereof.
Use of the System. During the Term and provided that this Agreement has not been terminated by either Party, and in consideration of the payment of the System Fees, Customer may access and use the System through the Mobile App pursuant and subject to: (a) the terms of any outstanding Customer Order, including such features and functions as the Customer Order provides and any limitations on the number of End Users, data volume and capacity as the Customer Order imposes; and (b) AUP and Loopz’s other policies posted on its Website, as such policies may be updated from time to time.

Documentation: Customer may reproduce and use the Documentation solely as necessary to support its use of the System for the purpose of obtaining Cloud Services.
System Revisions. Loopz may revise Mobile App and System features and functions at any time, including without limitation by removing such features and functions. If any such revision to the System materially reduces features or functionality provided pursuant to a Customer Order, Customer may within 30 days of notice of the revision terminate such Customer Order, without cause, or terminate this Agreement without cause if such Customer Order is the only one outstanding.

Any disputes with respect to Customer’s services to its End Users and End Users’ claims with respect to any outstanding balances on their Gift Cards shall be between an End User and Customer.
End User’s Payments. Customer’s End Users may use such payment processor or solution as Customer may specify in order to transfer funds to their Gift Cards and to pay Customer-imposed fees and charges. Loopz will not be responsible for such transfers or remittances.

Customer shall pay Loopz the periodic subscription fees for the access to and use of the System (“System Fees”) in accordance with the schedule of System Fees which are posted on the Website for the relevant Cloud Services from time to time, unless otherwise agreed by means of an executed Customer Order, and such one-time fees for the Additional Services (“Additional Fees”) as Customer selects in the Customer Order (System Fees and Additional Fees together, the “Fees”) during each Term.
