7. ORDERS; PROVISIONING; FEES.

7.1. You shall pay all fees specified in an Order Form. Except as otherwise specified herein, or in an Order Form, all fees are (i) based on the Subscription ordered and not actual usage, and (ii) payment obligations are non-cancellable and non-refundable except in the case of Our uncured breach. If Your usage of the Solutions is more than the Sizing set forth in the Order Form, We will contact You so You can determine if You want to enter into another Order Form to be able to utilize the increased Sizing. We will invoice You for those overages, based on Our then-current standard pricing unless otherwise specifically provided in the applicable Order Form. This Agreement may accommodate multiple Order Forms and Statements of Work, each of which shall be incorporated into and become a part of this Agreement upon acceptance by You and Us. The duration and type of Subscription provided to You shall also be identified on the Order Form.

7.2. Unless agreed to otherwise in an Order Form, We will issue an invoice for all fees due under this Agreement annually in advance, and, upon renewal, the fees shall be due and payable at least thirty (30) days before the anniversary of the Effective Date. You agree to pay undisputed invoices within thirty (30) days after the date of Our invoice unless otherwise specified in an Order Form.

With respect to any past due payments not reasonably in dispute, We reserve the right to charge You and, if assessed, You agree to pay, a late fee equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the greatest amount permitted by law for each month or partial month such undisputed amount remains outstanding.

7.5. Each party agrees to pay or reimburse all fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the other party in enforcing this Agreement and collecting any amounts due under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all expenses associated therewith.

(a) the Solutions (b) Client Support, (c) receiving any Professional Services, including Integration Services, Implementation Services, and other services, unless You furnish satisfactory proof of exemption.

8. SOLUTIONS MONITORING; AUDIT.

We may monitor all use of the Solutions for security and operational purposes. We may suspend Your access to the Solutions in the event that You are engaged in, or We in good faith believe You are engaged in or are supporting, any unauthorized conduct (including any violation of this Agreement, any applicable law, or third party right). We will use diligent efforts to promptly contact You prior to or contemporaneously with such suspension; provided, however, that Our exercise of the suspension rights herein shall not be conditioned upon Your receipt of any notification. A suspension may take effect for Your entire account and You understand that such suspension would therefore include affiliate and/or user sub-accounts. You agree that We will not be liable to You or any affiliate or user or any other third party if We exercise Our suspension rights as permitted by this Section.

We or our designated representative will have the right, exercisable on reasonable notice, to conduct an inspection and audit of such records and Your premises and systems, and to obtain such other information as necessary to determine Your compliance with this Agreement. Such audit will be conducted at a mutually agreeable time in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with Your normal business activities. In no event will such audits be conducted more frequently than once every twelve (12) months unless an earlier audit uncovered an underpayment greater than one percent (1%) of the fees due and payable with respect to the period audited. You will promptly pay any fees revealed by the audit to be due and payable. We will pay any fees charged by Our designated representative, if any; provided that if any audit reveals an underpayment of fees greater than five (5%) percent of the fees due and payable with respect to the period audited, You will promptly reimburse Us for any such audit fees.

9. LIMITED WARRANTY.

9.1. We warrant that the Solutions will substantially conform to the functionality described in the then-current Documentation for the Solutions for a period of thirty (30) days from the download or first access (as applicable) (the “Warranty Period”). Your sole and exclusive remedy and Our sole and exclusive liability for a breach of the foregoing warranty shall be, at Our option, either (i) terminate the applicable Order Form upon providing You with written notice thereof and refund to You any prepaid fees with respect to the expired portion of the current Order Term or (ii) use Our commercially reasonable efforts to repair or replace the Solutions to conform in all material respects to the applicable Documentation.

9.2. OTHER THAN THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTY, WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, TO YOU, THE AUTHORIZED USERS, OR ANY OTHER PARTY, FOR THE SOLUTIONS, DOCUMENTATION, CLIENT SUPPORT, OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, AND ALL WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHER WARRANTIES FOR NON-INFRINGEMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OR AGAINST LATENT DEFECTS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SOLUTIONS, DOCUMENTATION, CLIENT SUPPORT, AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, AS APPLICABLE, ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITH NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER. WE SPECIFICALLY DENY ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY THAT THE SOLUTIONS WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, WILL OPERATE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, AND FOR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY DATA OR CONTENT PROVIDED BY EMBEROT OR OTHERS NOR DO WE MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE SOLUTIONS. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE WE GIVE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF THIS WARRANTY. IF APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES ANY WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SOLUTIONS, ALL SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY.

9.3. The limited warranty described in Section 9.1 does not apply if the Solutions, product, or any other equipment upon which the Solutions is authorized to be used (a) has been altered, except by Us or Our authorized representative, (b) has not been installed, operated, repaired, or maintained in accordance with the Documentation, (c) has been subjected to abnormal physical or electrical stress, abnormal environmental conditions, misuse, negligence, or accident; (d) is licensed for beta, evaluation, testing or demonstration purposes; (e) is a temporary Solutions module; or (f) was not obtained directly from Us.

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE AND LIABLE FOR VERIFYING THE ACCURACY AND ADEQUACY OF ANY OUTPUT FROM THE SOLUTIONS OR THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN ANY REPORT, AND FOR ANY RELIANCE OR DECISION THEREON.

10. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF A PARTY’S WILLFUL VIOLATION OF LAW OR FRAUD, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY, THEIR AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS, BE LIABLE UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY FOR LOSS OR INACCURACY OF DATA OR THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR TECHNOLOGY OR FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, ENHANCED, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF REVENUE AND LOSS OF PROFITS, EVEN IF ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ORDER FORM OR STATEMENT OF WORK FROM ANY OR ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE AGGREGATE FEES RECEIVED BY US FROM YOU FOR THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE OCCURRENCE OF THE LAST EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, OUR ENTIRE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT RELATED TO TRIAL ACCESS SHALL BE $500. MULTIPLE CLAIMS SHALL NOT EXPAND THESE LIMITATIONS.

11.1. Indemnification. Each party agrees to indemnify, defend, and forever hold the other party (including each of their respective members, partners, directors, officers, employees, stockholders, agents, successors, and assigns) (collectively, “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, costs, damages and reasonable expenses, including fines, forfeitures, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements, and court or administrative costs (collectively, “Liabilities”) incurred as a result of a third-party claim that arises out of or in connection with (i) that party’s breach of any of its warranties, covenants or representations in this Agreement or (ii) that party’s breach of Section 12 (Confidentiality).

11.2. The parties’ respective indemnification obligations are dependent on the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) (a) promptly notifying the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any such suit or proceeding; provided, however, that any failure to promptly provide such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such delay has actually and materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such suit or proceeding; (b) providing the Indemnifying Party with control over the defense or settlement of any such claim or action (except that the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle any claim that imposes any (1) equitable remedy against an Indemnitee, (2) financial obligation for which any Indemnitee is not otherwise indemnified hereunder, or (3) any other liability or obligation which could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Indemnified Party’s business, reputation or prospects; and (c) providing the Indemnifying Party with reasonable information and assistance, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense, in the defense or settlement of any such claim or action. The Indemnified Party may participate in any such suit or proceeding through counsel of its choice at its own expense, provided that the costs associated with its counsel shall not be deemed damages or costs for purposes of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnity hereunder.

11.3. We will have no liability to You if any alleged infringement or claim, suit, or proceeding thereof arises from (i) use of the Solutions, or the Documentation in any manner not contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) use of other than the most current version of the Solutions or the Documentation as provided by Us if such alleged infringement would have been prevented by the use of the most current version of the Solutions or the Documentation, (iii) any combination of the Solutions or Documentation with any intellectual property, resources, equipment, or processes not provided by Us, or (iv) modifications of the Solutions or the Documentation provided by other than Us (each an “IP Exception”).

Each party agrees to indemnify, defend, and forever hold the other party (including each of their respective members, partners, directors, officers, employees, stockholders, agents, successors, and assigns) (collectively, “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, costs, damages and reasonable expenses, including fines, forfeitures, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements, and court or administrative costs (collectively, “Liabilities”) incurred as a result of a third-party claim that arises out of or in connection with (i) that party’s breach of any of its warranties, covenants or representations in this Agreement or (ii) that party’s breach of Section 12 (Confidentiality). Further, the parties agree that these indemnification obligations will also apply with regard to Your breach of Section 5 (Restrictions) or in the case of an IP Exception (as defined below). In addition, We agree that these indemnification obligations will apply with respect to third-party claims that the Solutions infringe any U.S. patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret (an “Infringement Claim”).

THIS PARAGRAPH STATES OUR ENTIRE OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY, AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, FOR ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM.

11.2. The parties’ respective indemnification obligations are dependent on the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) (a) promptly notifying the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any such suit or proceeding; provided, however, that any failure to promptly provide such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such delay has actually and materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such suit or proceeding; (b) providing the Indemnifying Party with control over the defense or settlement of any such claim or action (except that the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle any claim that imposes any (1) equitable remedy against an Indemnitee, (2) financial obligation for which any Indemnitee is not otherwise indemnified hereunder, or (3) any other liability or obligation which could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Indemnified Party’s business, reputation or prospects; and (c) providing the Indemnifying Party with reasonable information and assistance, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense, in the defense or settlement of any such claim or action.
