Company’s use is also limited to Section 2.1 (d) below. Company may not use the Premium Marketplaces Module for any purpose other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

a(1). E-Commerce Shopping Cart.  Unless expressly agreed, as part of the Premium Marketplaces Module functionality, CA will host and collect buyer payment information through an E-Commerce shopping cart.  E-Commerce shopping cart functionality includes sales tax calculations on all checkouts (tax rates are either provided by Company or through a CA service.  The former shall be the rule unless Company agrees in the MSO or ASO to pay an additional charge for the CA dynamic sales tax service). Company is responsible for identifying in writing, all states, countries, territories, or provinces where CA should calculate sales tax for a particular product to be sold on a Marketplace Site.  Company assumes the risk of credit card fraud. CA is not responsible for tax calculations made.  CA grants Company a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable license, without the right to sublicense, to access and use the secure E-Commerce Shopping Cart website, via the Internet or a dedicated communications line only to view and retrieve purchaser information.  Company shall have privacy obligations related to this data as further described below.

b. Paid Search Module
. If Company and CA enter into an MSO for the Paid Search Module that is subject to the Agreement terms and conditions and conditioned upon Company’s on-going payment of Fees, CA grants to Company a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license without the right to sublicense, to access and use the Paid Search Module to support and manage Company’s online paid search campaigns and to analyze the results of Company’s campaigns. Company’s use is also limited to Section 2.1 (d) below.  Company may not place an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on CA’s systems, as determined by CA in its sole discretion (including without limitation the number of keywords managed). CA, in its sole discretion, may limit or restrict Company’s access if it deems Company’s activities unreasonably or disproportionately burden the Paid Search Module.  CA is not responsible for the actions of CA Network Sites, including, without limitation, changes to or the addition of restrictions associated with a CA Network Site or the unavailability of a CA Network Site or search engine.

c. Comparison Shopping Module
.  If Company and CA enter into an MSO for the Comparison Shopping Module that is subject to the Agreement terms and conditions, CA’s performance is conditioned upon Company’s on-going payment of Fees.  Subject to the requirements of the preceding sentence, CA grants to Company a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license without the right to sublicense, to access and use the Comparison Shopping Module to support and manage Company’s online shopping campaigns and to analyze the results of Company’s campaigns.   Company’s use is also limited to Section 2.1 (d) below.  As determined by CA in its sole discretion, Company may not place an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on CA’s systems (including without limitation, the number of keywords managed). CA may limit or restrict Company’s access to the Comparison Shopping Module if CA determines that Company’s activities unreasonably or disproportionately burden the Module.  CA is not responsible for the actions of CA Network Sites, including, without limitation, changes to or the addition of restrictions associated with a CA Network Site or the unavailability of a CA Network Site or shopping provider.

d. Posting Accounts Limitations
.  The maximum number of posting accounts per geography shall be limited to two (2).   A posting account is required within the CA Complete platform to sell inventory on the supported CA Network Sites in using a Module(s).  Each posting account is configured with a posting geography, which defines the eligible CA Network Sites within that Geography, a time zone and a currency.   For example, if a posting account is configured with the United Kingdom geography, it will enable selling on, for example, eBay UK and Amazon UK (if Company is using Premium Marketplaces Module) and the currency of the account will be represented in British Pounds.  Additional posting accounts may also be utilized within a specific locale for various business reasons.  A posting account is at the CA Complete level and spans all modules. Thus, the two posting account limitation applies regardless as to number of Modules used by Company.  By way of example, if Company signs for Premium Marketplaces and creates two posting accounts and then later signs for Paid Search, Company shall only have the two posting accounts which would have to be used by Company for Paid Search.  Additional posting accounts may be added by agreement of the parties, subject to additional pricing.  An ASO shall be used to add the accounts.  Furthermore, each posting account shall be limited to 50,000 SKUs; any additional amount shall be agreed to by the parties and may be subject to additional fees.

2.2 Restrictions.
