Section 2. Grant.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, FedEx grants
You a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to
use and access the DRC and the Materials, as instructed by FedEx from
time to time, to develop on behalf of FedEx customers or account holders
(each, an “End User”) Applications only in those countries
and locations designated by FedEx from time to time in its sole
discretion (“Territory”), all at Your cost and expense and at Your sole
risk.
(b) Subject to and under the terms of this Agreement and any directions
issued by FedEx from time to time, You may include select Materials in a
software Application solely for the purpose of enabling an End User to
use various FedEx services. If applicable, You may also be required to
display of an end user license agreement (“EULA”), attached hereto as
Exhibit A, which must be signed by End Users in order for such End User
to receive, access, or use the Application. For purposes of this
requirement, “signed” may include a clickwrap agreement executed by the
End User provided that such clickwrap agreement (i) is enforceable in
the countries within the Territory; (ii) displays the entire EULA to the
End User on the initial start-up/installation screen (not through a
link); (iii) requires the End User to scroll through the EULA before

Applications which are stand alone, or primarily, multi-carrier shipping
Applications, providing for, without limitation, rating, labeling,
routing, manifesting and processing of shipments through one or more
carriers or couriers, other than FedEx. You may not distribute the
Materials to any third party for the purpose of such third party
incorporating the Materials in an individual or separate multi-carrier
system. For purposes of the Agreement, "multi-carrier system" shall mean
any system which is a stand alone, or primarily, a shipping Application,
system or software program providing for, without limitation, rating,
labeling, routing manifesting, processing or the logistical movement of
shipment via one or more carriers, in addition to FedEx. You may not
distribute any Materials provided through the DRC apart from an
Application.
(d) You may not distribute the Materials provided through the DRC in any
form to carriers, couriers or other entities involved in the pickup,
consolidation, transportation, delivery or logistical movement of
documents, packages or freight.
(e) You will not incorporate in an Application an automated comparison
feature which compares FedEx rates and services with those of other
carriers.
(f) FedEx makes no assurance that its computer servers and systems will
continue to be operated or configured in such a way that allows an
Application created by You to continue to be able to connect to FedEx
using the methods described in the Materials. FedEx reserves the right
to make changes in its computer servers and systems, in whole or in
part, for any reason and without limitation, including the right to
terminate Your use of the DRC or any services offered in connection
therewith. In addition, FedEx may upgrade or modify the DRC, the
Materials or any services offered in connection therewith and such
upgrades or modifications may necessitate that You make changes to Your
internal hardware and software systems in order to continue using Your
Application to connect to FedEx. You acknowledge that Your failure to
make any such change or upgrade may result in You being unable to
continue using or distributing an Application to or on behalf of an End
User.
(g) You shall comply with all applicable laws or regulations of any
applicable jurisdiction. You agree not to use any Materials provided to
You or any Application created by or for You using such Materials in any
manner that: (i) infringes, violates or misappropriates the intellectual
property rights of any third party; (ii) violates any anti-spamming laws
and regulations; or (iii) involves or promotes any harmful or illegal
activities, including without limitation, any activity that may be
considered libelous or defamatory or otherwise malicious or harmful to
any person or entity, or discriminatory based on race, sex, religion,
nationality, disability, sexual orientation, age or any other basis
forbidden by applicable laws.
(h) During the term of this Agreement, You agree not to interfere or
attempt to interfere in any manner with the functionality or proper
working of the DRC. If any Application developed by You to interface
with FedEx or the DRC is suspected or determined by FedEx, in its sole
discretion, to create such interference or to otherwise be unsuitable or
incompatible, FedEx may, without any notice to You, suspend or
terminate, in whole or in part, Your access to the FedEx computer
servers or systems and/or Your access to and/or use of the DRC.
(i) If Your Application contains any functionality other than that
provided through the DRC, You are responsible for the preparation and
execution of any other end user agreement for the use of such additional
functionality.
Section 3. Beta Terms and Conditions.
(a) From time to time, FedEx may grants to You a temporary,
royalty-free, nontransferable, nonexclusive license for experimental use
to test and evaluate certain Beta Materials solely for your own private
use and/or internal business operations. You acknowledge and agree: (i)
that any Beta Materials furnished to You are provided solely as a
convenience; (ii) that this temporary license shall not be construed as
marketing or offering to sell a license to the Beta Materials; (iii)
that FedEx retains the exclusive right to choose not to release a
commercial version of the Beta Materials in any form; and (iv) that
FedEx may, in its sole discretion and without any notice to You, suspend
or terminate Your access to the Beta Materials, in whole or in part. You
covenant to treat all Beta Materials as Materials, including, but not
limited to, the restrictions on use set forth in this Agreement,
including this Section 3.
(b) If FedEx authorizes You to use the Beta Materials, You agree to
evaluate and test the Beta Materials according to the criteria
established by FedEx and to contact FedEx periodically during Your use
of the Beta Materials to discuss any malfunctions or suggested
improvements, all of which shall constitute Feedback (as that term is
defined in Section 10 below). Upon completion of Your evaluation and
testing, You will send to FedEx a written evaluation of the Beta
Materials, including a listing of any strengths, weaknesses and
recommended improvements. All written evaluations and all inventions,
product improvements, modifications or developments conceived or made by
FedEx based wholly or partially on Your feedback, will be the exclusive
property of FedEx. The provisions of this sub-section 3(b) shall survive
termination of this Agreement.
(c) IN THE EVENT THAT YOU ARE AUTHORIZED BY FEDEX TO USE ANY BETA
MATERIALS, YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SUCH BETA MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED
TO YOU “AS IS” AND CONSTITUTE A PRE-PRODUCTION VERSION OF
THE MATERIALS WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN COMPLETELY TESTED IN ALL SITUATIONS
AND THAT ANY USE OF THE BETA MATERIALS IS DONE ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN
RISK. FEDEX WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND DISCLAIMS ANY
WARRANTY, REMEDIES OR LIABILITY OBLIGATIONS FOR THE BETA MATERIALS
INCLUDING THAT USE OF THE BETA MATERIALS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, OR
ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE BETA MATERIALS
ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WHERE LEGAL LIABILITY
CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, BUT MAY BE LIMITED, YOU AGREE THAT THE LIABILITY OF
FEDEX SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF FIFTY DOLLARS ($50.00).
(d) You acknowledge and understand that the Beta Materials are
unannounced and not available to the public and that FedEx considers the
Beta Materials and any other related materials supplied to You to be the
confidential and proprietary information of FedEx (collectively, the
“Confidential Information”). You agree not to share any such
Confidential Information with any other third party or to permit access
to the Confidential Information by any third party access to the
Confidential Information but instead will take all reasonable steps to
secure and protect the Confidential Information from any disclosure or
third party access.
(e) Upon receipt of a later unreleased version of the Beta Materials or
release by FedEx of a publicly released version, You agree to cease all
use of the earlier Beta Materials received from FedEx and, if
applicable, to abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement
governing any such publicly released version.
(f) In the event of a conflict between this Section 3 and any other
provision of the Agreement, this Section 3 shall supersede such other
term(s) and condition(s) with respect to the Beta Materials, but only to
the extent necessary to resolve the conflict.
Section 4. Intellectual Property Rights.
(a) You acknowledge that FedEx holds and retains, other than as provided
in this Agreement, all worldwide rights, title and interests, including
without limitation, copyright and patent rights, in and to the DRC and
the Materials (including, but not limited to, any derivative works
thereof). You acknowledge that FedEx is not selling or otherwise
transferring title in the Materials to You and that You agree not to
take any action inconsistent with FedEx’s interest.
(b) You may not copy, modify, adapt or reproduce the Materials other
than to create Your Application solely in the form and in the manner
permitted by this Agreement.
(c) FedEx grants You a limited, personal, nonexclusive, royalty-free,
non-transferable license to use the FedEx word and logo trademarks and
service marks (hereinafter collectively the "Marks") as provided by
FedEx in the Materials solely in Your Application as authorized under
Section 4 below, provided that You comply with all provisions of this
Agreement regarding the manner in which the Marks may be used. You may
not use the Marks for any other purpose. You may not alter in any way
any Mark, including without limitation, distorting, animating or
changing the color, font or proportions of any Mark, or combining it
with any other name, mark or logo.
(d) You may not transfer or transmit, in whole or in part, the DRC, the
Materials or any of Your Applications which contain information about
FedEx or its Marks to any third party except as expressly allowed under
this Agreement.
(e) You acknowledge that FedEx holds and retains all worldwide rights,
title and interest in and to the Marks, and that all use of the Marks by
You shall inure to the benefit of FedEx. You further acknowledge and
agree that You will not claim, whether in whole or in part, any rights
in the Marks, and will do nothing to impair, in any way, the Marks or
FedEx's rights in the Marks. You may not use the Marks in any manner
that is likely to cause confusion, mistake, or deception regarding
whether FedEx sponsors or endorses Your Application or whether Your
Applications are affiliated, associated, or connected with FedEx. You
may not use the Marks to advertise, sell, market or otherwise distribute
any products or services.
(f) All Applications created by You based on, or otherwise created with
reference to, the DRC and/or the Materials shall include only accurate
references to FedEx and the specific service offered through the DRC.
Applications may not be created and the Marks may not be used in such a
way that, in FedEx's judgment, damage FedEx's goodwill. In the event
FedEx, in its sole judgment, believes that any of Your Applications
violate this provision, FedEx reserves the right, to terminate this
Agreement and Your ability to connect to FedEx using such Application,
or to notify You and You agree to cause the Application to comply with
this provision.
Section 5. Use Restrictions.
(a) You agree and warrant that the name, address and account information
that You provide when You register for the DRC is correct and You agree
immediately to notify FedEx of any changes in the name, address and/or
account information details.
(b) You will create a password upon completing the registration process
for the DRC. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of
the password, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur
under Your password. FedEx reserves the right to change access
credentials without prior notice if FedEx deems that it presents a
security issue. You agree to immediately notify FedEx of any
unauthorized use of Your password or any other breach of security.
(c) You agree to follow the instructions provided from time to time
governing the use of the DRC, the Materials, the Marks, and or any
services offered by FedEx through the DRC.
(d) You may not remove, obscure, or alter any trademark or copyright
notice of any Mark, or other notice of any intellectual property or
proprietary right appearing on or contained within the DRC.
(e) You acknowledge and agree that You will not use or allow any
Applications created by You (including interfaces made by or for You) in
any manner to adversely affect the functionality of the DRC or
FedEx’s computer servers or systems or to allow third parties
access to the DRC, the Materials or any other related information
(including, but not limited to, any site-wide statistics).
(f) For the purpose of verifying Your compliance with this Agreement,
You agree to provide to FedEx, if requested, any information or
materials relating to Your Application and to allow FedEx to track and
monitor any Application created by or for You to communicate with the
DRC or FedEx Web Services. You agree not to block or interfere with such
tracking or monitoring. In the event You fail to comply with this
requirement, You agree that FedEx shall have the right to use any
available technical means to overcome such blocking or interference.
(g) Without the prior written consent of FedEx, You agree not to store
or retain any component of the DRC or the Materials in a database,
server network or other similar repository, either with or without a
central location, in a manner that allows other non-authorized parties
to share or access the DRC or the Materials. In addition, You shall not
use or facilitate the use of any alternative means (i.e., robots,
spyders, scraping, or other technology) to use, query or access the DRC
or the Materials to obtain any information, other than as expressly
allowed under this Agreement.
(h) In the event you are issued any test key or other credentials to
allow the testing of an Application in the DRC, You agree that such are
provided to You by FedEx to you in your individual capacity and agree
that they will be used only by You and will not be provided to any other
third-party.
(i) In the event you are issued production key or other credentials that
allow you to place an Application developed through the DRC into
production, You agree that such production credentials are being
provided to You by FedEx only on behalf of a single End User (and, if
applicable, its affiliates). You agree that, in the event You require
production credentials for more than one (1) End User (and, if
applicable, its affiliates), You will register for separate production
credentials for each such End User. Any production credentials granted
hereunder for a specific End User shall not be used by You on behalf of
any other person or entity. You agree that any requests for services
made by You through the DRC on behalf of a specific End User shall only
be made using the applicable productions credentials of that specific
customer or account holder.
(j) In the event You are a developer working as an independent
contractor for a specific End User (and not as a provider of
Applications for sale as governed by the FedEx® Compatible Solutions
Provider Program), You agree:
- (i) that You will not disclose to any third party the user
name, password or other customer information provided to You by such
customer or account holder; and
- (ii) You acknowledge that no Application created by you to
interface with the DRC can be placed into production until the End
User has agreed to the terms and conditions of any end user agreement
required to use selected services available through the DRC.
Section 6. Development and Certification.
(a) Prior to distributing certain Applications developed using the DRC,
You may be required to obtain, at Your or the End User's expense, from
FedEx or its designee, certification of those Applications, and all
upgrades and modifications thereof, pursuant to the instructions and
specifications provided by FedEx from time to time through the DRC. In
the event You desire to obtain certification of a new release of an
Application, either independently from or in conjunction with, an
upgrade or modification of the DRC by FedEx, the same certification
procedure applies as in the original certification, at Your or the End
User's expense.
(b) FedEx retains the right to require You to submit to FedEx, or its
designee, for review and approval, all screen shots included in any
Application created by You using the DRC, the Materials, the Marks, any
functional aspects of the DRC or any information about the DRC or FedEx.
You agree to make any changes in the Application or Marks as required by
FedEx. You agree to use only those screens and Applications which FedEx
may have approved pursuant to this provision.
Section 7. Customer Support.
(a) You will provide to the End User during the term of this Agreement,
at Your expense, competent and professional technical support and
maintenance for the functioning of an Application developed using
resources provided by the DRC relative to issues arising out of the
method and means by which You incorporate Materials from the DRC within
an Application. You will direct to FedEx (at the locations and telephone
numbers provided by FedEx) all End User questions regarding FedEx
services or questions regarding any Materials provided through the DRC
unrelated to Your incorporation of those Materials in an Application.
(b) Pursuant to the notice provision set forth in Section 15 of this
Agreement, You agree to immediately advise FedEx of any complaints,
malfunctioning or defects in the DRC or the Materials which You learn
about by any means.
Section 8. Termination.
(a) This Agreement is effective until terminated by either You or FedEx.
This Agreement will terminate independently without notice if You fail
to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any instructions
regarding the DRC, the Marks or the Materials.
(b) Your failure to make any changes or upgrades to an Application as
directed by FedEx, the DRC or any of the Materials, or follow all
instructions, as required by FedEx for the use and distribution of the
DRC, shall also provide a basis for terminating this Agreement upon
notice from FedEx.
(c) Upon termination for any reason, You must: (i) cease all use of the
DRC, the Materials and the Marks and destroy all copies thereof made by
You in connection with Your use of the DRC; and (ii) upon instruction of
FedEx, in its sole discretion, remove from an Application being used by
the End User any and all Marks and Materials provided through the DRC;
and
(d) FedEx reserves the right to unilaterally terminate this Agreement
and the use of the DRC and the Materials, the Marks, and any services
offered through the DRC at any time and for any reason.
(e) Upon termination, FedEx may: (i) notify the End User and terminate
the End User's agreement with FedEx; and (ii) offer to the End User
alternative methods to enable them to receive FedEx services or use the
DRC and any Application developed in connection therewith through
another vendor.
Section 9. Downtime and Service
Suspensions.
In addition to the right of FedEx to terminate this Agreement as
described in Section 8 above, You acknowledge that: (i) Your access to
and use of the DRC and/or the Materials may be suspended for the
duration of any unanticipated or unscheduled downtime or unavailability
of any portion or all of the DRC for any reason, including as a result
of power outages, system failures or other interruptions; and (ii) FedEx
shall also be entitled, without any liability to You, to suspend access
to any portion or all of the DRC or the Materials at any time: (a) for
scheduled downtime to permit FedEx to conduct maintenance or make
modifications to any portion of the DRC; (b) in the event of a denial of
service attack or other attack on the DRC or other event that FedEx
determines, in its sole discretion, may create a risk to the DRC, the
Materials, to You or to any of its other customers if access to the DRC
or the Materials is not suspended; or (c) in the event that FedEx
determines that any portion of the DRC or the Materials is prohibited by
law or FedEx otherwise determines that it is necessary or prudent to do
so for legal or regulatory reasons (collectively, "Service
Suspensions"). FedEx shall have no liability whatsoever for any damage,
liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits) or any other
consequences that You may incur as a result of any Service Suspension.
To the extent FedEx is able, FedEx will endeavor to provide You email
notice of any Service Suspension in accordance with the notice
provisions set forth in Section 15 below and to post updates at
www.fedex.com regarding resumption of access to the DRC and the
Materials following any such suspension, but shall have no liability for
the manner in which FedEx may do so or if FedEx fail to do so.
Section 10. Feedback
. In the event You elect, in connection with any Materials provided or
made available to You by FedEx through the DRC, to communicate to FedEx
any data, comments, suggestions or other information relating to
improvements to the DRC, to any Materials, or to the Marks
(collectively, "Feedback"), FedEx shall own all right, title, and
interest in and to the same, even if You have designated the Feedback as
confidential, and FedEx shall be entitled to use the Feedback without
restriction or further compensation to You. You hereby irrevocably
assign all right, title and interest in and to the Feedback to FedEx and
agree to provide such assistance as FedEx may require in order to
document, perfect, and maintain its rights to the Feedback.
Section 11. Confidentiality
. Except as expressly authorized in this Agreement, You will maintain
the confidentiality of this Agreement, the DRC and all information
concerning the DRC, including without limitation, the Materials provided
by FedEx, and will not distribute or disclose any of them to any third
party without the written consent or instruction of FedEx. You will make
no public announcements regarding this Agreement or the inclusion of any
Materials from the DRC into an Application without the prior written
consent of FedEx.
Section 12. Disclaimer of Warranty
. YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE DRC, THE MATERIALS AND
ANY SERVICES OFFERED THROUGH THE DRC ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS
AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND AND THAT ANY USE OF THE
DRC, THE MATERIALS OR ANY SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH THE DRC BY YOU AND,

AND THE MATERIALS AND FOR ALL OTHER TIMES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED CONDITIONS, ANY IMPLIED
REPRESENTATIONS OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
FEDEX DOES NOT WARRANT THAT (A) THE DRC OR THE MATERIALS WILL MEET ALL
OR ANY OF YOUR REQUIREMENTS; (B) THAT THEIR OPERATIONS WILL BE
UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE; (C) THAT ANY DEFECT WITHIN THE DRC, THE
MATERIALS OR ANY SERVICES OFFERED THROUGH THE DRC WILL BE CORRECTED; OR
(D) THAT ITS SYSTEMS WILL NEVER BE INFILTRATED BY HACKERS OR OTHER
UNAUTHORIZED USERS. FURTHERMORE, FEDEX DOES NOT WARRANT NOR MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATION REGARDING THE RESULTS OF YOUR USE OF THE DRC OR THE
MATERIALS IN TERMS OF CAPABILITY, CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY OR
OTHERWISE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION, REPRESENTATION OR ADVICE
GIVEN BY FEDEX OR AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF FEDEX SHALL CREATE A
WARRANTY.

ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION
OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME
OR ALL OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND
YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. WHERE LEGAL LIABILITY CANNOT BE
EXCLUDED, BUT MAY BE LIMITED, YOU AGREE THAT THE LIABILITY OF FEDEX
