UPWMS may audit your books and records during the term when your Account is active and for a period of three (3) years thereafter to determine if your payment of the Revenue Share was correct and to otherwise determine if your use of the SaaS Services was in accordance with these Terms of Services (including the AUP, the Privacy Policy and the DPA, if applicable).

You shall cooperate with any audit of such records that UPWMS may undertake and shall promptly pay any shortfall in Revenue Share that may be discovered by such audit. Each party shall bear its own costs with respect to any such audit, unless a discrepancy of more than five percent (5%) of the Revenue Share in your favor is uncovered, in which case you shall reimburse UPWMS for all of its third-party costs associated with the audit.
Without limiting any other remedies, UPWMS may immediately suspend or cancel your Account if we suspect that you (by conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise) have (a) engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with the Marketplace, or (b) breached these Terms of Service (including the AUP, the Privacy Policy or the DPA, if applicable) in a material way.

12. Third Party Services
In addition to these Terms of Service, you also agree to be bound by the additional service-specific terms applicable to services you purchase from, or that are provided by, UPWMS’s partners or other third parties.
UPWMS may from time to time recommend, provide you with access to, or enable third party software, applications (“Apps”), products, services or website links (collectively, “Third Party Services”) for your consideration or use. Such Third Party Services are made available only as a convenience, and your purchase, access or use of any such Third Party Services is solely between you and the applicable third party services provider (“Third Party Provider”). Any use by you of Third Party Services offered through the SaaS Services or the Marketplace is entirely at your own risk and discretion, and it is your responsibility to read the terms and conditions and/or privacy policies applicable to such Third Party Services before using them. In some instances, UPWMS may receive a revenue share from Third Party Providers.
We do not provide any warranties with respect to Third Party Services. You acknowledge that UPWMS has no control over Third Party Services and is not responsible or liable to anyone for such Third Party Services. The availability of Third Party Services via the SaaS Services or the Marketplace, or the integration or enabling of such Third Party Services with the SaaS Services does not constitute or imply an endorsement, authorization, sponsorship, or affiliation by or with UPWMS.
UPWMS does not guarantee the availability of Third Party Services and you acknowledge that UPWMS may disable access to any Third Party Services at any time in its sole discretion and without notice to you. UPWMS is not responsible or liable to anyone for discontinuation or suspension of access to, or disablement of, any Third Party Service. UPWMS strongly recommends that you seek specialist advice before using or relying on Third Party Services, to ensure they will meet your needs. In particular, tax calculators should be used for reference only and not as a substitute for independent tax advice when assessing the correct tax rates you should charge to your customers.
If you install or enable a Third Party Service for use with the SaaS Services, you grant us permission to allow the applicable Third Party Provider to access your data and to take any other actions as required for the interoperation of the Third Party Service with the SaaS Services, and any exchange of data or other interaction between you and the Third Party Provider is solely between you and such Third Party Provider. UPWMS is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of your data or other Materials, or for any corresponding losses or damages you may suffer, as a result of access by a Third Party Service or a Third Party Provider to your data or other Materials.
For instance, if Google Maps was a Third Party Service that was used within the SaaS Services, then your use of the such Third Party Service would be subject to your acceptance of the Google Maps and Earth Enterprise Universal Acceptable Use Policy, as it may be amended by Google from time to time.
Under no circumstances shall UPWMS be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, extraordinary, exemplary or other damages whatsoever, that result from any Third Party Services or your contractual relationship with any Third Party Provider. These limitations shall apply even if UPWMS has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The foregoing limitations shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold us and (as applicable) our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, UPWMS partners, officers, directors, agents, employees, and suppliers harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of your use of a Third Party Service or your relationship with a Third Party Provider.
