1. RESTRICTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

1.1 Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services included in Customer’s selected Plan or otherwise agreed in writing. Company is responsible for securing the infrastructure and systems it operates, including implementing industry-standard technical and organizational measures and maintaining the availability of the Cloud Services. While Company is not required to monitor Customer activity, it may do so when necessary to protect the integrity of the Cloud Services. Company reserves the right to suspend or restrict usage it reasonably believes may violate this Agreement or applicable law.

1.2 Where Support Services are included in Customer’s selected Plan or otherwise agreed in writing, Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to Customer support requests in accordance with the applicable Plan or written agreement. Support may include general guidance or references to third-party products, services, or platforms. The selection, integration, and performance of any third-party solutions remain Customer’s responsibility, and Company is not responsible for issues, errors, or damages arising from such third-party solutions.

1.3 Company does not collect, store, or process payment card or billing information. Such data is handled solely by third-party payment processors and does not pass through or reside on Company systems. Customer submits payment details to Stripe, and such data is handled according to Stripe’s security and privacy standards.

1.4 Customer owns and is solely responsible for all Customer Data provided in connection with the Services. Customer hereby represents and warrants that all Customer Data complies with applicable laws and does not infringe third-party rights or include unlawful, harmful, or defamatory material.

1.5 Customer grants Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to copy, distribute, prepare derivative works, and otherwise use Customer Data as reasonably necessary to provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services. This includes activities such as infrastructure monitoring, diagnostics, usage analysis, anonymization, and internal business reporting. Any such access is limited in scope, subject to appropriate technical and organizational safeguards, and does not involve the disclosure of identifiable Customer Data to third parties, except to subprocessors engaged in accordance with the DPA or where Customer authorizes transmission to a third-party service through the Medusa Cloud MCP connector. Such Customer-authorized transmission is limited to the data needed to execute Customer’s authorized requests. The connected service’s processing is governed by Customer’s applicable agreement with that service. For data protection purposes, Customer acts as the data controller and Company acts solely as a data processor with respect to Customer Data. Any processing of personal data under this section is subject to the DPA, including its requirements concerning processing purposes, duration, retention and deletion.

1.6 Customer is solely responsible for managing user access, account configurations, and the security of its systems and data. This includes implementing appropriate safeguards, maintaining secure credentials, and ensuring compliance with applicable regulations. Company shall not be liable for any data loss, unauthorized access, or disruptions resulting from misconfiguration, insecure implementation, or third-party integrations used by Customer.

1.7 Customer may choose to implement modifications or customizations to the Medusa open-source codebase. Any such changes are the sole responsibility of Customer and subject to the licensing terms of such codebase. Company shall not be liable for any issues, defects, or operational failures arising from these modifications, whether made by Customer or a third party on Customer’s behalf. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Company’s managed services do not include the review, approval, or maintenance of custom code.

1.8 Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Company and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of (i) a breach of this Agreement, (ii) Customer Data, or (iii) the misuse of the Services. This obligation survives termination of the Agreement.

1.9 As a condition of use, Customer agrees not to use the Cloud Services for any purpose that is prohibited by this Agreement or by applicable law. Customer shall not (and shall not permit any third party): (i) license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, reproduce, mirror, distribute, host or otherwise commercially exploit the Cloud Services or any portion of the Cloud Services; (ii) modify, translate, adapt, merge, make derivative works of, disassemble, decompile, reverse compile or reverse engineer any part of the Cloud Services except to the extent the foregoing restrictions are expressly prohibited by applicable law; (iii) use any manual or automated software, devices or other processes (including but not limited to spiders, robots, scrapers, crawlers, avatars, data mining tools, or the like) to “scrape” or download data from any web pages contained in the Cloud Services; (iv) remove or destroy any copyright notices or other proprietary markings contained on or in the Cloud Services; or (v) interfere with or attempt to interfere with the proper functioning of the Cloud Services or use the Cloud Services in any way not expressly permitted by this Agreement, including but not limited to violating or attempting to violate any security features of the Cloud Services, introducing viruses, worms, or similar harmful code into the Cloud Services, or interfering or attempting to interfere with use of the Cloud Services by any other user, host, or network. Any unauthorized use of the Cloud Services terminates the licenses granted by Company pursuant to this Agreement.

2. CONFIDENTIALITY & DATA RIGHTS

2.1 Each party acknowledges that, in connection with this Agreement, it may receive access to confidential or proprietary information belonging to the other, including information related to business, technology, or finances, and any other information that the receiving party actually knows or reasonably should know, based on the nature of the information or circumstances of disclosure, the disclosing party considers confidential (“Confidential Information”). This includes, for Company, non-public details about the Cloud Services’ features, functionality, and performance; and for Customer, any non-public Customer Data shared through the Cloud Services.

a) The party receiving the Confidential Information agrees to:

(i) use reasonable precautions to protect its confidentiality, and

(ii) not use or disclose it to any third party, except as needed to fulfill its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement or with prior written consent.

b) These obligations do not apply to information that the receiving party can show:

(i) was or becomes publicly available without breach of this Agreement;

(ii) was already known by receiving party before disclosure free of any obligation of confidentiality;

(iii) was lawfully disclosed by another party without restriction;

(iv) was independently developed without access to the Confidential Information. Prior to making any disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to applicable law, regulation or court order, the receiving party shall make reasonable efforts to provide the disclosing party with (i) prompt written notice of such requirement so that the disclosing party may seek a protective order or other remedy; and (ii) reasonable assistance in opposing disclosure or seeking a protective order or other remedy. The receiving party shall disclose no more than the portion of the Confidential Information which is specifically ordered to be disclosed. For the avoidance of doubt, any Customer-provided logs, configurations, or other materials shared with Company in connection with the Support Services shall be treated as Customer Confidential Information under this Agreement.

2.2 Customer retains all rights, title, and interest in and to its Customer Data, including any content or custom code it creates or deploys using the Cloud Services. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant Company any ownership rights in Customer Data. Company retains all rights to the Cloud Services and platform, including the infrastructure, software, and tools it provides, along with any related improvements or updates. This does not include any ownership over Customer’s use of Medusa’s open-source code or custom modifications.

2.3 Company may collect and analyze data related to Customer’s use of the Cloud Services, including metadata and aggregated or de-identified data derived from Customer Data. Company may use such data to improve its services, develop new features, and for lawful business purposes. Disclosures of such data will only be in aggregate or de-identified form and will not identify Customer or end users.

2.4 During the term of this Agreement, Customer grants Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use Customer’s trade names and logos for the limited purpose of identifying Customer as a user of the Cloud Services in marketing materials or on Company’s website. Customer may revoke this license at any time by providing written notice.

3. DATA PROTECTION & PRIVACY

3.1 Company acts as a data processor on behalf of Customer, who is the data controller of Customer Data. Company processes Customer Data solely as necessary to provide the Services and in accordance with Customer’s instructions. Company and Customer agree that such processing is subject to the Company’s Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”), which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference and available at https://medusajs.com/terms-of-service/dpa.

3.2 In addition, Company may process Customer Data temporarily in connection with the Support Services solely for diagnostic and resolution purposes, subject to the same safeguards that apply to Cloud Services.

3.3 Customer is solely responsible for responding to any data subject requests (such as access, rectification, erasure, portability) related to Customer Data.

3.4 Company shall maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Customer Data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. Routine data backups and disaster recovery procedures are in place to ensure service continuity.

4. FEES AND PAYMENT

4.1 Customer agrees to pay the fees applicable to its selected Plan, add-ons and usage, and any additional Services agreed in writing. Company reserves the right to modify Fees or institute new Fees for any renewal term by providing at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Customer via email prior to the end of the then-current term.

4.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Customer shall be billed monthly in advance. Flex usage shall be calculated at the end of each billing period and added to the next invoice. Add-ons shall be billed monthly in advance, except that charges for add-ons activated during a billing period are prorated from activation and added to the next invoice.

4.4 By submitting payment information, Customer authorizes recurring charges as described under this Agreement. Customers may update payment authorization through account settings in the Cloud Services. All Fees are non-refundable unless otherwise stated.

5. TERM AND TERMINATION

5.1 This Agreement begins when Customer first accesses or receives the Services, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, subscriptions continue on a month-to-month basis and renew automatically at the start of each new billing period unless Customer cancels before that period begins. Customer’s cancellation of a subscription takes effect at the end of the current billing period or subscription term. Services outside a subscription continue for the period agreed in writing.

5.2 Either party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice if the other party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to cure such material breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice reasonably describing such breach. Customer shall pay for Services rendered through termination.

5.3 Company may immediately suspend Customer’s access to the Cloud Services upon written notice for excessive or abusive use impacting service stability or security. Company may terminate such access if Customer fails to cure that use within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice reasonably describing it. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, suspension or termination of Cloud Services shall automatically include suspension or termination of related Support Services.

5.4 Sections intended to survive termination (e.g., confidentiality, liability limitations, disclaimers) remain in effect.

6. WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER

6.1 CUSTOMER EXPRESSLY UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE CLOUD SERVICES AND ANY CONTENT THEREON IS AT CUSTOMER’S SOLE RISK, AND THE CLOUD SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS. COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT ARISING FROM USE OF THE CLOUD SERVICES AND ANY CONTENT THEREON. COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION OR CONDITION THAT: (1) THE CLOUD SERVICES WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS (SUCH AS THE QUALITY, EFFECTIVENESS, REPUTATION AND OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CLOUD SERVICE); OR (2) CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE CLOUD SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE AGREED IN WRITING, SERVICES OTHER THAN CLOUD SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ALL ISSUES WILL BE RESOLVED OR THAT SUCH SERVICES WILL ACHIEVE ANY SPECIFIC OUTCOME.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

7.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law and except for liability related to gross negligence or willful misconduct, Company and its affiliates, suppliers, and employees will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive or special damages, loss of business, or data corruption.

7.2 Company’s cumulative liability regardless of the nature of the claim, even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages, shall not exceed the fees paid by Customer in the 12 months prior to the event giving rise to liability.
