  • Duration: The MSA continues until terminated as specified in the agreement
  • Termination: Specific termination conditions are outlined within the MSA itself
This section outlines the basic timeline and duration of the Master Subscription Agreement (MSA) between the parties. It's important to note that while the start date is clearly defined, the end date is contingent upon the termination clauses within the agreement.
Termination for Cause
A non-breaching party may terminate the MSA for cause under two specific circumstances:
  • If the breaching party fails to cure a material breach within thirty (30) days following written notice of such material breach
  • Immediately if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors
Upon any termination for cause by Client, Lionfish shall refund Client any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Term after the date of termination. However, termination for cause by Client shall not relieve Client of the obligation to pay any fees accrued or payable to Lionfish prior to the date of termination.
In the event of termination for cause by Lionfish, Client shall pay all fees owed for the remainder of the Term. These fees shall become immediately due and payable in full, together with all applicable penalties, fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees), costs, and expenses (collectively referred to as the "Remaining Payment").

  • Breach of MSA: Client shall defend, indemnify, and hold Lionfish harmless against any loss, damage, or costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with claims, demands, suits, or proceedings made or brought against Lionfish arising from or related to Client's breach of the MSA.

General Provisions
The parties are strictly and solely independent contractors. Except as otherwise agreed in writing, there are no third-party beneficiaries to the MSA. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under the MSA shall constitute a waiver of that right. Other than as expressly stated herein, the remedies provided herein are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other remedies of a party at law or in equity. The provisions of the MSA and the provisions herein are severable and the unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such other provisions.
Client may not assign the MSA, including by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Lionfish. The MSA is and shall be deemed to have been made in Indiana and shall be governed exclusively by the internal laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflicts of laws rules (including Indiana's). Any claims relating to the MSA shall be brought in state or federal courts located in Marion County, Indiana and each party hereby consents to the exclusive personal and subject matter jurisdiction of such courts. Each party also waives any right to a jury trial in connection with the MSA.
If either party hereto resorts to legal action for the redress of a breach of the MSA, the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of the MSA shall be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary therein, no terms or conditions stated in a Client proposal or in any other Client order documentation shall be incorporated into or form any part of the MSA.
The language used in the MSA shall be deemed to be language chosen by both parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction against either party shall apply to rights granted or to any term or condition of the MSA. The MSA may be executed in counterparts, which taken together shall form one legal instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart signature page of the MSA by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of the MSA.
Reservation of Rights
Lionfish and the Third-Party Providers hereby expressly reserve any and all rights, licenses and permissions in and to the Services, Software, and Documentation other than those limited rights explicitly provided to Client in accordance with the MSA.
Review of Use
Lionfish may review Client's use of Services, Software, and/or Documentation and determine in its sole discretion whether the manner in which Client is using Services, Software, and/or Documentation is prohibited. Upon any determination that a particular use is prohibited, Client shall promptly terminate that use within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of notice from Lionfish that such use is prohibited (the "Use Cure Period"). In the event Client fails to cure such prohibited use within the Use Cure Period, Lionfish shall have the right to terminate the MSA immediately, and Client shall be liable for the Remaining Payment upon such termination. For purposes of this Section 15 only, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the MSA, notice shall be deemed to have been given by Lionfish upon Lionfish's receipt of an electronically generated delivery receipt after sending such notice to Client via email.
Client shall not redistribute any Services, Software, or Documentation, or otherwise make Services, Software, or Documentation available, to any person other than as the MSA permits.
