      2. The Enhanced Plans are distinguished by the inclusion of a Service Fee, currently set at $9.99, (the “Services Fee”) either directly in, or amended to, your Lovingly Shop Agreement. The Services Fee appears on all of your non-recurring customer’s orders, which will be passed directly through to your customers.

      3. The Service Fee allows us to offer the enhanced features that are available through the Enhanced Plans.

    3. Legacy Plan.The Legacy Plan is distinguished by the exclusion of the Service Fee. The Legacy Plan includes all standard features and is subject only to the fees listed in Section 9 above, but is not entitled to the Enhanced Services. The Legacy Plan is not available for new Lovingly Shops. However, Lovingly Shops that are currently on the Legacy Plan shall have their Legacy Plan automatically renewed unless they decide to change.

  11. Term and Termination.

    1. Initial Term. This Shop Services Agreement will become effective on the Effective Date and shall continue for the Initial Term as specified on your Shop Services Order Form.

    2. Renewal. After the Initial Term, this Shop Services Agreement will renew automatically for successive one (1) year periods (each, a “Renewal Term,” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”), unless notice of intent to not renew is given by either party, in writing, at least thirty (30) days and at most ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-current Term. If notice of intent to not renew is given by either party pursuant to this Section 11, this Shop Services Agreement will terminate at the end of the then-current Term.

    3. Termination.

      1. Either party may terminate this Shop Services Agreement for any reason upon two (2) weeks’ prior written notice to the other Party.

      2. In addition to any termination rights bestowed elsewhere in this Shop Services Agreement, Lovingly may immediately terminate this Shop Services Agreement if Retailer is in breach of the terms of this Services Agreement or the Retailer Terms of Service.

      3. If during any continuous six (6) week period, Retailer actively processes orders through its Lovingly Shop for fewer than five (5) days per week, this Shop Services Agreement shall be automatically terminated with the termination date designated the beginning of the breaching period.

      4. If Retailer actively cancels more than 40% of orders over a 90 day period, this Shop Services Agreement shall be automatically terminated with the termination date designated the beginning of the breaching period.

    4. Early Termination and Liquidated Damages.

      1. If this Shop Services Agreement is terminated pursuant to sub-clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) or Retailer terminates this Store Services Agreement pursuant to sub-clause (i) of Section 11(c), then Retailer shall pay to Lovingly an amount equal to the number of calendar months (including any partial month) from the effective date of such termination through and including the month in which the next Renewal Term would have begun, multiplied by the greater of:

        1. Four Hundred and Ninety Nine Dollars ($499.00) per month; or

        2. The average monthly fees paid by Retailer to Lovingly during the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the month of termination or, if shorter, the period since Retailer signed the Shop Services Order Form.

      2. Any amounts paid pursuant to this Section 11(d) are considered “Liquidated Damages.”

      3. If the effective date of such termination is less than thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the next Renewal Term, and if Retailer has not cancelled renewal pursuant to Section 11(b) above, Liquidated Damages will include each month in such Renewal Term along with the then-current month.

      4. If the Lovingly Shop is not publicly accessible over the internet within ninety (90) calendar days from the Effective Date, Retailer shall pay Liquidated Damages as if Retailer had terminated this Shop Services Agreement on such ninetieth (90th) day.

      5. Liquidated Damages will not be pro-rated for partial months.

      6. The Parties agree that quantifying losses arising from Retailer’s early termination is inherently difficult insofar as such termination may impact Lovingly’s reputation, impair Lovingly’s ability to adequately respond to variable market demand, or require Lovingly to provide non-monetary concessions (such as replacement bouquets or free shipping) to Shop Customers that would have otherwise been serviced by Retailer. The Parties further stipulate that the agreed upon sum is not a penalty, but rather a reasonable measure of damages, based upon the parties’ experience in the floral industry and given the nature of the losses that may result from such early termination.

      7. This Section 11 does not apply where Retailer’s early termination is a result of Lovingly’s breach of this Shop Services Agreement.

  12. Entire Agreement; Inurement. It is hereby acknowledged that this Shop Agreement, together with the Retailer Terms of Service, your Shop Services Order Form and any other terms or documents incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the Lovingly Shop, and supersedes in their entirety any and all written or oral agreements previously existing between the parties with respect to such subject matter. This Shop Services Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.
