Term and Termination
This Agreement is effective upon the Restaurant’s initial Registration Process and will remain in full force and effect for so long as the Restaurant is included on the Zuppler Website and as long as the Restaurant utilizes Zuppler’s food ordering software and purchased or loaned equipment, as part of the Zuppler Services. The Restaurant may terminate this Agreement any time, for any reason, with 30-days notice after the initial twelve-month (12) month term, by providing written notice by the Restaurant to Zuppler, as Zuppler is investing considerable time and capital to provide Restaurant with its Restaurant Services. Neither party shall have any liability to the other party for damages suffered by a party as the result of any such termination. Zuppler will, as soon as practicable following such termination (or notice thereof, if terminated by the Restaurant), remove the Restaurant from inclusion in the Zuppler Restaurant Services, remove the embedded software and the Websites.
Unless paid for in advance, the monthly billing fee will automatically begin 30 days from the time of sign up unless "Go Live" is delayed by Zuppler.
Early termination may trigger an early termination fee of $129 (dependent on negotiated monthly service fee) or higher per month for the remaining term. For example, if the Restaurant terminates their 12-month Agreement after six months, the Restaurant may be subject to an early termination fee of $129 x 6 months total.
Upon termination, each party shall promptly pay to the other any outstanding amounts owed for applicable Customer Orders prior to such termination. The Restaurant will return “loaned” equipment (when applicable). Any provisions of this Agreement that, in order to fulfill the purposes of such provisions, need to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, shall be deemed to survive for as long as necessary to fulfill such purposes.
