In our sole discretion, consumers who violate these Terms of Use or who otherwise pose an unacceptable risk of loss as determined by us (e.g. sending or submitting files that contain malware) may be designated as an uninsurable risk. Following proper notification of such designation, we may rescind the insurance product from affected individuals and/or orders and any collected premium will be refunded.

Pact Protection shall be Your exclusive provider of any service and/or software that enables You to offer consumer-facing shipping insurance, protection, warranty, or similar offering (collectively and individually, “Shipping Protection”) unless the merchandise covered by such Shipping Protection is considered to be a policy exclusion. At all times during the Term and thereafter for a period of twenty-four (24) months, You and Your subsidiaries and affiliates covenant and agree that You will not provide Shipping Protection of any kind to any party unless You or Your affiliates obtain all necessary and required licenses and permits for such offering from all relevant federal and state agencies and regulatory bodies. You acknowledge that a breach or threatened breach of this paragraph may give rise to irreparable harm to us, for which monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy, and You hereby agree that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by You or Your subsidiaries or affiliates of any such obligations, we shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to us in respect of such breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).
Non-disparagement
At all times during the Term and thereafter, neither Party will, whether directly or indirectly, make any disparaging, negative, false, or misleading statements with respect to the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit a Party from providing truthful information pursuant to an order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body; provided, however, that prior to providing such information, a Party shall provide prompt notice of such court order or requirement to the other Party to enable such Party to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or restrict such disclosure.

Pact Protection Program Summary
Our Shipping Protection is subject to and strictly limited by the terms of the Pact Protection Insurance Policy.
In order for us to extend shipping protection to a consumer via the merchant, Pact Protection procures an insurance policy from an A-rated insurance company. Our offer of shipping protection is not intended to provide insurance to Your consumers directly, and Your consumers are not an insured or an additional insured under the Policy (the foregoing being, collectively, “Pact Shipping Protection”).
In the event of a claim, the merchant will file the claim. Pact Protection may require additional documents and information from the consumer.
As a merchant, upon completing the onboarding of Your Pact account and adding Your billing information, the Pact Protection plug-in will go live on Your website. We reserve the right to change its pricing at any time. Upon Your agreement to these Terms, the Pact Protection Platform will be activated on Your site.
As a consumer of a merchant that offers Pact Shipping Protection, the merchant will provide You with a link to file a notice of loss.
