2.3 Descartes shall provide the GLN Services to Customer during the Term of the Agreement at the service levels described in the Agreement. As part of Customer’s subscription to the GLN Services, the underlying applications that Descartes uses to provide GLN Services may be updated from time to time to the extent that Descartes makes such updates available to all customers as part of a generally available release.
2.4 Customer is authorized to Use the GLN Services described in the Agreement solely for the Permitted Use. Customer is not authorized to Use any Module associated with the GLN Services unless that Module is specifically listed in the Order Form or any subsequent ordering document.

Customer is responsible for adhering to all such specifications to ensure connectivity with the GLN Services.
2.6 Descartes may, but shall be under no obligation to, modify or update the GLN Services from time to time, provided such modification does not result in a material loss of functionality in the GLN Services as compared to the GLN Services as of the Effective Date.
2.7 Customer, in using the GLN Services, agrees not to knowingly: (i) upload or otherwise send to Descartes or the GLN Services files that contain viruses, malware, corrupted files, or any other similar software or programs; (ii) use the GLN Services for illegal purposes, to further an illegal or criminal venture, or in any manner that might reasonably be considered as causing, inciting, encouraging, or aiding in the commission of a nuisance or criminal offence; (iii) interfere with or intentionally disrupt or put at risk the GLN Services, the underlying network systems supporting the GLN Services, or the ability of other users or customers of Descartes to use the GLN Services; and (iv) post, promote, or transmit any unlawful, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable material of any kind or nature through the GLN Services.

Where Descartes reasonably determines that a violation of the above listed sections has occurred, Descartes may suspend, either temporarily or permanently as is reasonable under the circumstances, the access of Customer or its Permitted Users until such time as the violation has been remedied and there is no reasonable basis to believe that continued violations will occur. - PERMITTED USERS

3.1 Responsibility for Permitted Users. Regardless of how Permitted Users’ accounts have been set up, Customer agrees that it is responsible for all Permitted Users who Use the GLN Services and for ensuring that its Permitted Users do not breach or do not cause Customer to be in breach of Customer’s obligations under the Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, Permitted Users shall be deemed to be the agents and/or representatives of the Customer regardless of who their actual employer may be. - Mobile Applications
4.1 Where the GLN Services include Mobile Applications or Mobile Applications are used to connect to GLN Services, the following provisions shall apply.
(a) Customer is granted a term limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to Use the Mobile Application, conditional on the Customer having a current subscription in good standing to the specified GLN Services. No license is given to the source code to any or all parts of the Mobile Application and Customer is prohibited from reverse engineering, disassembling or decompiling the Mobile Application or otherwise attempting to create or generate any source code version of any part of the Mobile Application, except as permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Descartes is not permitted by applicable law to exclude or limit such rights.
(b) Mobile Applications are, unless otherwise specified in the Order Form, to be installed on Customer Equipment and used by Customer to transmit Customer’s data to their corresponding GLN Services solely in connection with Customer’s valid subscription to the GLN Services.
(c) Mobile Applications may be delivered by way of a third-party digital distribution platform including but not limited to Google Play for Android Devices or App Store for iOS devices. Customer understands and agrees that these owners and operators of these third-party digital distribution platforms are not endorsing or making any other guarantee or warranty about the Mobile Application.
(d) Mobile Applications are designed to connect to the GLN Services maintained by Descartes and may not function correctly without being allowed to maintain that connection. Customer is responsible for ensuring any Customer Equipment the Mobile Application is installed on has adequate connection with the general internet or other networks as may be specified. Descartes explicitly disclaims any liability resulting from poor connectivity or loss of communication caused by Customer Equipment or any network Customer Equipment uses to connect to the GLN Services and Mobile Applications are explicitly excluded from any availability measure or determination.
(e) Mobile Applications are designed to be regularly updated to meet evolving technical and security standards. Descartes may, from time to time, release new versions of the Mobile Applications. Customer will, unless specifically permitted otherwise by Descartes in writing, Use only the most current version or the immediately preceding version. Customers who do not Use the most current version or the immediately preceding version may, at Descartes sole discretion, be excluded from any Mobile Application support or service entitlements Descartes may be obligated to provide under the Agreement and any such Use is at the Customer’s own risk. - UPU STANDARDS
The GLN Services have been designed to allow air carriers to meet all actively used UPU messaging standards for RESDIT and CARDIT, which may change from time to time. Descartes will maintain the GLN Services on an ongoing basis to support these messaging standards. Customer takes sole responsibility to ensure that its own use of the GLN Services is in compliance with all contracts and legal requirements including any imposed by the various postal authorities that Customer may be under in connection with the provision of mail transportation services. - FEES AND PAYMENTS
Unless specifically stated otherwise in the Order Form or other ordering documents, invoices for the GLN Services are issued on the 5th day of each month based on the prior month’s actual volume of mail processed by the GLN Services on behalf of the Customer, as measured by weight. Further, fee rates may be presented in two or more tiers whereby the fees per kilogram of mail may change based on total cumulative weight processed to date within the time period specified. Fee tiers are graduated and are applied on a progressive basis, meaning that the rate for that tier is only applied to volumes within that tier and is not applied to the entire volume. By way of example only, assume the following example tiers:
| Annual Volume | Fee Rate |
|---|---|
| 0 – 29 units (Tier 1) | $1.00 per unit |
| 30 units – 69 units (Tier 2) | $0.75 per unit |
| 70 units or more (Tier 3) | $0.50 per unit |
In the event 100 units are consumed in a year, the fees would be as follows: $29 (for Tier 1) + $29.25 (for Tier 2) + $15 (for Tier 3) = $73.25 total fees for all 100 units. On the conclusion of the year, the volume counters would reset. As a result, if only 35 units are consumed in the following year, the fees would be as follows: $20 (for Tier 1) + $4.50 (for Tier 2) = $24.50 total fees for all 35 units.
In addition, payment for certain milestones, Modules, or features are as follows:
| Milestone/Module/Feature | Payments Due |
|---|---|
| Training Completion | Training daily rate and any travel expenses incurred for on-site training will be invoiced upon training completion. |
| Accounting Modules | USPS International Accounting Reconciliation Module, Partner Reconciliation Module, and International Postal Invoicing Module invoices will be issued on the 5th day of each month, invoiced two months in arrears. |
| Initiation of Message Exchange with Foreign Post | IPC/GXS fees will be invoiced upon initiation of message exchange with a foreign post and annually thereafter. |
