BY ACCESSING AND/OR USING THE OLLIE SERVICES, YOU (A) ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT; (B) REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO ENTER INTO A BINDING AGREEMENT; AND (C) ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE LEGALLY BOUND BY ITS TERMS.
RECITALS
A. Next Glass provides certain software services for brewery management and product sales through its software platform (“Ollie”).
B. Customer desires to retain Next Glass to provide such services as selected by Customer through Ollie, and Next Glass is willing to perform such services under the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Next Glass and Customer agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Ollie Services.
(a) Ollie Order Services. As agreed-to by Customer through Ollie, Next Glass agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide services to help sellers of products (“Sellers”) manage orders for the sale of products to buyers of products (“Buyers”) through the Seller’s Ollie store (each an “Ollie Store”) including, but not limited to, e-commerce, membership management, marketing, promotional and other service offerings selected by Customer, including access to a dynamic platform facilitating management of orders, inventory, payments and invoices (the “Ollie Order Services”).
(i) Ollie Order Account Setup. When Customer signs up for Ollie Order Services, the Customer must indicate whether it will be acting as a Seller, Buyer, or both. The Ollie Order Services permit Sellers the opportunity to create Ollie Store(s). An Ollie Store can only be associated with one Customer, the Seller, who is allowed to create one or more staff accounts (“Staff Accounts”) allowing Seller’s Authorized Users access to the Seller’s Ollie Store(s). Customer remains liable for the acts, omissions and defaults arising from use of Staff Accounts.
(ii) Order Forms; Additional Terms. All agreements for the purchase and sale of products between a Seller and a Buyer consist of (a) the terms specified in an order form generated by the Buyer or by the Seller using the Ollie Order Services and accepted by the other (the “Order Form”), and any other terms agreed to between the Seller and the Buyer in writing (“Additional Terms”). Next Glass is not a party to any Order Form or Additional Terms, and Next Glass is not responsible or liable for and does not guarantee any obligation of a Seller to a Buyer or any obligation of a Buyer to a Seller. Without limiting the foregoing, Next Glass is not responsible or liable for any failure of a Seller or a Buyer to complete any transaction, fulfill an order, and/or pay for products. It is the Seller’s sole responsibility to determine the fees, taxes (including, but not limited to, any applicable liquor tax, liquor distribution branch “mark-up”, federal duties, excise tax, provincial sales tax or products and services tax) and other charges that Seller is obligated to collect and remit in respect of the sale of any products it sells, to set out such amounts in the Order Form, and to subsequently remit the same to the appropriate agency or authority. ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN A BUYER AND A SELLER RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO ANY PURCHASE OR SALE OF PRODUCTS, OR ANY ATTEMPTED PURCHASE OR SALE OF PRODUCTS, MUST BE RESOLVED ENTIRELY BETWEEN THE BUYER AND THE SELLER, AND CUSTOMER HEREBY FULLY RELEASES NEXT GLASS FOR, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL PRESENT AND/OR FUTURE CLAIMS REGARDING ANY SUCH DISPUTES.
(iii) Order Fulfillment. All orders initiated through the Ollie Order Services are accepted, reviewed, and ultimately fulfilled by Customer, and not Next Glass, and all alcoholic beverage sales, fulfillment, transportation, and shipping services conducted through the Ollie Order Services are solely transacted by Customer, and not Next Glass. Next Glass itself does not make available, provide, or sell alcoholic beverages or alcoholic beverage fulfillment, transportation, or shipping services and is not a licensed alcoholic beverage transportation carrier or retailer. Due to direct shipping laws and regulations, the Ollie Order Services may prohibit certain product transactions to certain states, provinces or to prohibited “dry” regions within certain states or provinces. The regulations and court decisions affecting the interstate and/or interprovincial sale and shipment of alcoholic beverages are in constant flux and can change at any time. Therefore, Next Glass may change the jurisdictions to which it is able to permit usage of the Ollie Order Services at any time and without notice to Customer. Next Glass makes no representation as to any laws, rules or regulations of any jurisdiction regarding the sale, fulfillment, transportation, and/or shipping services for alcoholic beverages to any purchaser. It further makes no guarantees regarding the availability, pricing, accuracy, quality, or timely delivery of products ordered through any Ollie Store. If Customer is a Seller, it is Customer’s responsibility to verify Buyer’s location, identification, and age, and to determine whether it is legal and otherwise safe and appropriate to sell and furnish the Buyer with alcoholic beverages. CUSTOMER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NEXT GLASS IS NOT ENGAGED IN OR RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SALE, SERVICE, SHIPPING AND/OR TRANSPORTATION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
(iv) Prospective Buyers. To assist Sellers in managing orders, the Ollie Order Services allow Sellers to create and maintain records about Buyers who have not yet registered. If a Seller creates and/or requests Next Glass to create such records, then Seller represents and warrants that all information Seller provides about a Buyer is current, accurate and complete, and that Seller has all necessary authority and consents from the applicable Buyer to collect, use and disclose that information to Next Glass in connection with the Ollie Order Services. Further, if a Seller provides credit card information for a Buyer, Seller confirms that Seller has the written authorization fromof the applicable Buyer to use that credit card information for payment for Seller’s products.
(v) Seller Liquor License Information. As part of the Ollie Order Services, Next Glass may make available to Customer certain non-commercial information about Sellers’ liquor licenses (“Seller Information”) based upon periodic retrievals of such Seller Information. By accessing and/or using such Seller Information, Customer understands and agrees: (i) Next Glass conducts only periodic checks of Seller Information and such Seller Information may not be accurate, current, and/or up to date, (ii) Seller Information is provided to Customer for non-commercial and general reference use only; and (iii) Customer accepts all responsibility and liabilty associated with any access and/or use of such Seller Information. For the avoidance of doubt, Next Glass hereby disclaims and waives all responsibility and liability relating to Seller Information, including, but not limited to, Customer’s access and/or use thereof.
(b) Ollie Ops Services. As agreed-to by Customer through Ollie, Next Glass agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide services to help manage brewery operations including, but not limited to, recipe management, recordkeeping, TTB reporting, raw material forecasting, brew log entries, scheduling, and task management (the “Ollie Ops Services,” together with the Ollie Order Services, the “Ollie Services”). Next Glass makes no representation as to any laws, rules or regulations of any jurisdiction regarding brewery operations, permitting, recordkeeping and/or TTB reporting, and Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is and shall remain solely responsible and liable for compliance with all of the foregoing.
2. Grant of Rights; Restrictions and Responsibilities.

As agreed-to by Customer through Ollie, and subject to and conditioned upon Customer’s and each Authorized User’s compliance with this Agreement, Next Glass hereby grants to Customer a nonexclusive, nontransferable right, during the subscription term set forth in the applicable Order Form, to allow Authorized Users to access and use the Ollie Services solely for Customer’s internal business use. Access to and use of the Ollie Services is subject to Customer’s and each of Customer’s employees, consultants, contractors, or agents authorized to access and/or use the Ollie Services on behalf of Customer (each an “Authorized User”) compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Next Glass website terms of use located at https://www.getollie.com/terms-of-service and privacy policy located at https://www.getollie.com/privacy-policy, each herein incorporated by reference.

Customer is responsible and liable for all uses of the Ollie Services resulting from access provided by Customer, directly or indirectly, whether such access or use is permitted by or in violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer is responsible for all acts and omissions of its Authorized Users, and any act or omission by any such Authorized User that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if taken by Customer will be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Customer.
(d) Suspension. Next Glass may suspend Customer’s and/or any Authorized User’s access to any portion or all of the Ollie Services if Next Glass reasonably determines that (a) there is a disruption, security risk, threat or attack on the Ollie Services or to any other customer or vendor of Next Glass; (b) Customer, or any Authorized User, is using the Ollie Services for fraudulent or illegal activities; (c) Customer has ceased to continue its business in the ordinary course, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar disposition of its assets, or become the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or similar proceeding; or (d) Next Glass’s provision of the Ollie Services to Customer or any Authorized User is prohibited by applicable law; (e) any vendor of Next Glass has suspended or terminated Next Glass’s access to or use of any third-party services or products required to enable Customer to access the Ollie Services; or (f) Customer fails to timely pay any undisputed invoices.

3. Payment.
(a) Fees. In consideration of the provision of Ollie Services, Customer shall pay the monthly Ollie Services fees in accordance with the subscription elected by Customer during Customer’s Ollie account setup process, without offset or deduction in US dollars (the “Fee”). Customer understands and agrees, unless otherwise agreed-to by the parties in writing, (a) Customer’s initial service term (“Initial Service Term”), and each additional service term for each Ollie Service (together with the Initial Service Term a “Service Term”) will be one (1) year, (b) the Fee for the entire Initial Service Term is due and payable at the beginning of the Initial Service Term (though Customer may be able to pay such Fee in monthly installments), (c) Customer will not receive a refund of any Fee for the Initial Service Term, including if Customer elects to downgrade Customer’s Ollie Services, or if Customer terminates this Agreement prior to the end of such Initial Service Term. Customer understands and acknowledges that the Fee and Ollie Services bundles, package structures and/or pricing details may change at any time upon advance notice to Customer in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) Payment Processing. In connection with usage of the Ollie Services, Customer may provide credit card information to one of Next Glass’s designated third-party service providers, who will store such credit card information separately from the Ollie Services in order to facilitate reoccurring payment transactions, and/or utilize certain third-party payment services. Next Glass has no responsibility or liability for any credit card information and/or third-party payment services, and Customer shall be solely responsible and liable for any credit card information and related transactions to facilitate payment of orders. Customer understands and agrees that Customer is responsible and liable for all activity in connection with such third-party service providers, whether initiated by Customer or not (including all transactions, disputes, refunds, reversals, claims, fines associated with such activity, and use of the Ollie Services in a manner prohibited under this Agreement). The foregoing notwithstanding, Customer hereby authorizes Next Glass, or its designee, to charge Customer’s Ollie account for such non-refundable Fee on a recurring basis consistent with this Agreement and Customer’s tier level using the payment information Customer previously provided to Next Glass. If Customer and/or Authorized Users provide Next Glass with Customer’s credit card information, Customer hereby authorizes Next Glass to automatically charge the provided credit card(s) for all applicable charges. No chargebacks are available or permitted.

Except for invoices that Customer disputes in good faith, all late payments shall bear interest at the lesser of the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permissible under applicable law, calculated daily and compounded monthly. Customer shall also reimburse Next Glass for all costs incurred in collecting any late payments, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses. In addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement or at law (which Next Glass does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), if the Customer fails to pay any undisputed amounts when due hereunder, then Customer will be in material breach of this Agreement and Next Glass may suspend the provision of any Services and/or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9(c).
(d) Taxes. Customer shall be responsible for all sales, use, excise and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state or local governmental entity on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder; provided that, in no event shall Customer pay or be responsible for any taxes imposed on, or with respect to, Next Glass’s income, revenues, gross receipts, personnel, real or personal property or other assets.

If Customer cancels its agreement with UTFB, Customer will forfeit such promotional rate and will be responsible for the full fees for the applicable Service Term.
(ii) Ekos. If Customer is an existing customer of Ekos, Customer may receive a promotional rate for the Ollie Services.

Each party (“Receiving Party”) shall not disclose, publish, or disseminate the Confidential Information (as defined below) of the other party (“Disclosing Party”) to anyone other than such Receiving Party’s employees and contractors with a need to know such Confidential Information, and who are bound by a written agreement to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information no less protective than the provisions of this Section 4, or as required by applicable law. Each party agrees to take the same measures used to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent any unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of the other party’s Confidential Information. Each Receiving Party agrees to use and disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for the sole purpose of carrying out such Receiving Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and shall be responsible and liable for all such usage and/or disclosure. Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information if and to the extent that such disclosure is required by applicable law, regulation, or court order, provided that, as permitted by applicable law, Receiving Party (i) uses reasonable efforts, at Disclosing Party’s expense, to limit the disclosure by means of a protective order or a request for confidential treatment and (ii) provides Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to review the disclosure before it is made and to interpose its own objection to the disclosure.
(b) “Confidential Information” means confidential and proprietary information of a party, whether in oral, written or other form, which is marked “confidential” or “proprietary,” or which should reasonably be deemed to be confidential.

(c) Return of Confidential Information. In addition to each party’s obligations upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, upon either party’s request, the other party shall return all of the requesting party’s Confidential Information in its possession or under its control in accordance with the requesting party’s directions and shall not thereafter retain any copies of the other party’s Confidential Information.
