Master Service Agreement

Welcome to ValidMind.

This Master Services Agreement is effective as of Oct 29, 2023.

THIS AGREEMENT IS A BINDING CONTRACT AND GOVERNS THE USE OF AND ACCESS TO THE SERVICES BY YOU, USERS, AND YOUR CLIENT-USERS WHETHER IN CONNECTION WITH A PAID SUBSCRIPTION OR FREE TRIAL FOR THE SERVICES.

By accepting this Agreement, either by accessing or using a Service, or authorizing or permitting any Users or Client-User to access or use a Service, Subscriber agrees to be bound by this Agreement as of the date of such access or use of the Service (the “Effective Date”). If You are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company, organization, or another legal entity (an “Entity”), You are agreeing to this Agreement for that Entity and representing to ValidMind that You have the authority to bind such Entity and its Affiliates to this Agreement, in which case the terms “Subscriber,” “You,” or “Your” herein refers to such Entity and its Affiliates. If You do not have such authority, or if You do not agree with this Agreement, You must not use or authorize any use of the Services. Subscriber and ValidMind shall each be referred to as a “Party” and collectively referred to as the “Parties” for purposes of this Agreement.

The purpose of this Agreement is to establish the terms and conditions under which Subscriber may purchase ValidMind’s Services and Consulting Services as described in a Service Order, Statement of Work, or other document signed or agreed to by the Subscriber.

In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of the Master Services Agreement and the terms of any Service Order or Statement of Work, the terms of the Service Order or Statement of Work shall control.

ValidMind will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, except during (a) Planned Downtime (of which ValidMind will give advance notice via the Site or to the Account owner); and (b) Force Majeure Events.

1.4 Modifications. Subscriber acknowledges that ValidMind may modify the features and functionality of the Services during the Subscription Term. ValidMind shall provide Subscriber with thirty (30) days’ advance notice of any deprecation of any material feature or functionality. ValidMind will not materially decrease the overall functionality of the Services purchased by Subscriber during the Subscription Term.

1.5 Additional Features. ValidMind will notify Subscriber of applicable Supplemental Terms or alternate terms and conditions prior to Subscriber’s activation of any Additional Features. Subscriber’s activation of any Additional Features in Subscriber’s Account will be considered acceptance of the applicable Supplemental Terms or alternate terms and conditions where applicable.

Subscriber may extend its rights, benefits and protections provided herein to its Affiliates and to contractors or service providers acting on Subscriber’s or Subscriber’s Affiliates’ behalf, provided that Subscriber remains responsible for their compliance hereunder. An Affiliate may also directly purchase Services or Consulting Services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement provided that such Affiliate (i) executes a Service Order or Statement of Work for such Services or Consulting Services; and (ii) agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if it were an original party hereto. Subscriber also agrees that it will be responsible for its Affiliates’ compliance with this Agreement. Subscriber hereby authorizes ValidMind to share the content of this Agreement with Subscriber’s Affiliates.

2. USE OF THE SERVICES

2.1 Login Management. Access to and use of certain Services is restricted, such as to the specified number of individual Users permitted under Subscriber’s subscription to the applicable Service, as detailed in the Documentation. For Services that are User-based, Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that a User Login cannot be shared or used by more than one (1) individual per Account. However, User Logins may be reassigned to new individuals replacing former individuals who no longer require ongoing use of the Services. Subscriber and Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all User Login information for an Account. Absent a written license from ValidMind expressly stating otherwise, Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that Subscriber may not use the Services, including but not limited to the API, to circumvent the requirement for an individual User Login for each individual who (a) leverages the Services to interact with Client-Users; (b) processes data related to interactions with Client-Users; or (c) processes data related to interactions originating from a Non-ValidMind Service that provides functionality similar to functionality provided by the Services and which would, pursuant to this Agreement, require an individual Client-User Login, if utilizing the Services for such interaction. Further, Subscriber shall not use the API or any Software in such a way as to circumvent applicable Service Plan restrictions or User licensing restrictions that are enforced in the Service user interface. ValidMind reserves the right to charge Subscriber, and Subscriber hereby agrees to pay, for any overuse of a Service in violation of this Agreement or the Service Plan features and limitations on the Site or Documentation, in addition to other remedies available to ValidMind.

2.2 Compliance. As between Subscriber and ValidMind, Subscriber is responsible for compliance with the provisions of this Agreement by Users and Client-Users and for any and all activities that occur under an Account, which ValidMind may verify from time to time. Without limiting the foregoing, Subscriber will ensure that its use of the Services is compliant with all applicable laws and regulations as well as any and all privacy notices, agreements, or other obligations Subscriber may maintain or enter into with Users and Client-Users.

2.3 Content and Conduct. Subscriber agrees to comply with the ValidMind User Content and Conduct Policy (as defined below) which is hereby incorporated into this Agreement. Further, in Subscriber’s use of the Services Subscriber agrees not to (a) modify, adapt, or hack the Services or otherwise attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or related systems or networks; (b) attempt to bypass or break any security or rate limiting mechanism on any of the Services or use the Services in any manner that interferes with or disrupts the integrity, security or performance of the Services and its components; (c) attempt to decipher, decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise discover the source code of any Software making up the Services; or (d) to the extent Subscriber is subject to the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, and its implementing regulations (HIPAA), use the Services to store or transmit any “protected health information” as defined by HIPAA, unless expressly agreed to otherwise in writing by ValidMind.

2.4 System Requirements. A high-speed Internet connection is required for proper transmission of the Services. Subscriber is responsible for procuring and maintaining the network connections that connect Subscriber’s network to the Services including, but not limited to, browser software that supports protocols used by ValidMind, including the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol or other protocols accepted by ValidMind, and to follow procedures for accessing services that support such protocols. ValidMind is not responsible for notifying Subscriber Users, or Client-Users of any upgrades, fixes, or enhancements to any such software or for any compromise of data, including Service Data, transmitted across computer networks or telecommunications facilities (including but not limited to the Internet) which are not owned, operated or controlled by ValidMind. ValidMind assumes no responsibility for the reliability or performance of any connections as described in this Section.

2.5 Internal Business Purposes Only. Unless otherwise authorized by ValidMind in this Agreement or expressly agreed to otherwise in writing by ValidMind, Subscriber may not use the Services in any manner where Subscriber acts as a service bureau or provides any outsourced business process services on behalf of more than one (1) third party (other than Affiliates) through a single Account. This provision is not intended to prevent or inhibit the use of the Services to provide business support to multiple Client-Users; however, Subscriber agrees not to license, sublicense, sell, outsource, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, time-share or otherwise commercially exploit or resell the Services to any third party, other than authorized Users and Client-Users in furtherance of Subscriber’s internal business purposes as expressly permitted by this Agreement, unless expressly agreed to otherwise in writing by ValidMind. Without limiting the foregoing, Subscriber’s right to access and use the API is also subject to the restrictions and policies implemented by ValidMind from time to time with respect to the API as set forth in the Documentation or otherwise communicated to Subscriber in accordance with this Agreement.

2.6 No Competitive Access. Subscriber may not access the Services for competitive purposes or if Subscriber is a competitor of the ValidMind Group.

2.7 The provision and use of certain Services are subject to ValidMind’s Service-Specific Terms.

2.8 Region-Specific Supplemental Terms. The provision and use of the Services in certain jurisdictions are subject to ValidMind’s Region-Specific Terms.

2.9 In-Product Cookies. Whenever Subscriber, its Users, or Client-Users interact with the Services, ValidMind’s In-Product Cookie Policy applies.

3. TERM, CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION

3.1 Term. The term of this Master Services Agreement begins on the Effective Date and will remain in effect as long as the Subscriber has a valid Service Order/Statement of Work or until this Master Services Agreement is otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, whichever occurs first. The Subscription Term will be defined in each individual Service Order. Unless an Account and subscription to a Service are terminated in accordance with this Agreement or the applicable Service Order, or unless otherwise stated in the applicable Service Order, (a) Subscriber’s subscription to a Service (including any and all Deployed Associated Services) will renew for a Subscription Term equivalent in length to the then-expiring Subscription Term; and (b) the Subscription Charges applicable to any subsequent Subscription Term shall be ValidMind’s Standard Subscription Charges for the applicable Service Plan and Deployed Associated Services at the time of such renewal.

3.2 Cancellation. Either Party may elect to terminate an Account and subscription to a Service at the end of the then-current Subscription Term by providing notice in accordance with Section 18 of this Agreement to info@validmind.ai no less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of such Subscription Term.

3.3 Termination for Cause. A Party may terminate this Agreement for cause (a) upon written notice to the other Party of a material breach by the other Party if such breach remains uncured after thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of such notice; or (b) if the other Party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation, or assignment for the benefit of creditors. However, ValidMind may immediately terminate this Agreement for cause without notice if Subscriber violates the ValidMind User Content and Conduct Policy or if provision of the Service violates applicable law, regulation or court order.

ValidMind will refund any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term as of the effective date of termination if this Agreement is terminated by Subscriber in accordance with this Section for ValidMind’s uncured material breach.

Subscriber must pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term pursuant to all applicable Service Order if ValidMind terminates this Agreement for Subscriber’s material breach in accordance with this Section. In no event will ValidMind’s termination for cause relieve Subscriber of its obligation to pay any fees payable to ValidMind for the period prior to termination.

3.4 Payment Upon Termination. Except for Subscriber’s termination under Section 3.3, if Subscriber terminates its subscription to a Service or cancels its Account prior to the end of the then-effective Subscription Term, or if ValidMind terminates or cancels Subscriber’s Account pursuant to Section 3.3, in addition to any other amounts Subscriber may owe ValidMind, Subscriber must immediately pay any and all unpaid Subscription Charges associated with the remainder of such Subscription Term.

3.5 No Refunds. Except for Subscriber’s termination rights under Section 3.3, no refunds or credits for Subscription Charges or other fees or payments will be provided if Subscriber terminates a subscription to a Service or cancels its Account prior to the end of a Subscription Term.

3.6 Export of Service Data. Upon Subscriber’s written request, ValidMind will make Service Data available to Subscriber for export or download as provided in the Documentation for thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination, expiration or migration of the Account, except for Service Data which (i) has been deleted in accordance with the Documentation, (ii) was created and/or used in violation of this Agreement, or (iii) unless prohibited by law or legal order. Thereafter, ValidMind will have no obligation to maintain or provide any Service Data and ValidMind will delete Service Data in accordance with ValidMind’s Service Data Deletion Policy available on ValidMind’s Agreement and Terms Website unless prohibited by law or legal order.

4. BILLING, PLAN MODIFICATIONS AND PAYMENTS

4.1 Payment and Billing. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, a Service Order, a Statement of Work, or in Supplemental Terms, or as otherwise agreed for Usage Charges, all Subscription Charges are due in full upon commencement of the Subscription Term, or with respect to a Deployed Associated Service, at the time such Deployed Associated Service is purchased, subscribed to or otherwise deployed. Subscriber is responsible for providing valid and current payment information and Subscriber agrees to promptly update the Account information, including payment information, with any changes that may occur (for example, a change in Subscriber’s billing address or credit card expiration date). If Subscriber fails to pay Subscription Charges or any other charges indicated on any Service Order or Statement of Work, or in any Supplemental Terms, within five (5) days of ValidMind’s notice to Subscriber that payment is delinquent, or if Subscriber does not update payment information upon ValidMind’s request, in addition to other remedies, ValidMind may suspend access to and use of the Services by Subscriber, Users, and Client-Users. As permitted by applicable law, ValidMind reserves the right to charge the Subscriber late payment penalties or interest charges on any past-due invoices that are not subject to a previously noticed good faith dispute as to the amount owed.

4.2 Upgrades. If Subscriber chooses to upgrade the Service Plan or increase the number of Users, Models, or Client-Users authorized to access and use a Service during the Subscription Term, any incremental Subscription Charges associated with such upgrade will be charged in accordance with the remaining Subscription Term. In any subsequent Subscription Term, the Subscription Charges will reflect any such upgrades.

4.3 Downgrades. Subscriber may not downgrade its Service Plan or reduce the number of Users, Models, or Client-Users during any Subscription Term. Subscriber may only downgrade its Service Plan or reduce the number of Users, Models, or Client-Users under any Service Plan for a subsequent Subscription Term at the end of the then-current Subscription Term by providing ValidMind with thirty (30) days prior written notice indicating which instances will be affected and the details of the downgrade requested. In the event of a downgrade, Subscriber must delete or demote any downgraded Users, Models, or Client-Users prior to the beginning of the subsequent Subscription Term. Downgrading the Service Plan may generate additional costs (e.g., storage costs) and cause loss of content, features, or capacity of the Service as available to Subscriber under an Account, and ValidMind is not responsible for such loss. If a new Service Order is not signed by the Subscriber before the end of the then-current Subscription Term, the Services will renew as defined in Section 3.1.

4.4 Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, ValidMind’s Subscription Charges do not include any Taxes. Subscriber is responsible for paying Taxes assessed in connection with the subscription to the Services except those assessable against ValidMind measured by its net income. ValidMind will invoice the Subscriber for such Taxes if ValidMind believes it has a legal obligation to do so and Subscriber agrees to pay such Taxes if so invoiced. ValidMind agrees to exempt Subscriber from any taxes for which Subscriber provides to ValidMind a tax exemption certificate prior to the issuance of an invoice; provided, however, that no such exemption shall be extended to Subscriber following written notice to ValidMind from a taxing authority of appropriate jurisdiction that Subscriber does not qualify for the claimed exemption.

4.4.1 If the Subscriber is required to withhold Taxes from payments to ValidMind, Subscriber shall pay ValidMind the amount owing on the invoice, less a deduction for such Taxes withheld to be remitted directly by the Subscriber to the relevant tax authority. Subscriber will provide ValidMind with a valid receipt for such Taxes remitted to the relevant tax authority within 75 (seventy-five) days of Subscriber’s payment to ValidMind from which the withholding was made. If Subscriber does not provide the valid receipt for such Taxes remitted within 75 days, Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that it will be charged and will have to pay for the full amount of the invoice.

4.4.2 If the Subscriber is legally required to withhold Taxes from payments to ValidMind but fails to do so and pay an invoice in full, Subscriber may be entitled to reimbursement of the Taxes which should have been withheld. Such reimbursement can only be made in the first year following payment of the relevant invoice to ValidMind, once the Subscriber provides ValidMind with a valid receipt for the Taxes remitted to the relevant tax authority in respect of that invoice.

4.5 Payment Agent. If Subscriber pays by credit card or certain other payment instruments, the Services provide an interface for the Account owner to change credit card information (e.g., upon card renewal). Payments made by credit card, debit card, or certain other payment instruments for the ValidMind Service are billed and processed by ValidMind’s Payment Agent. Subscriber hereby authorizes the Payment Agent to bill Subscriber’s credit card or other payment instrument in advance on a periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the Service Plan for the Services, and for periodic Subscription Charges applicable to Deployed Associated Services to which Subscriber subscribes until the subscription to the Services terminates, and Subscriber further agrees to pay any Subscription Charges so incurred. If applicable, Subscriber hereby authorizes ValidMind and the Payment Agent to charge Subscriber’s credit card or other payment instrument to establish prepaid credit. The Account owner will receive a receipt upon each acceptance of payment by the Payment Agent, or they may obtain a receipt from within the Services to track subscription status. To the extent the Payment Agent is not ValidMind, the Payment Agent is acting solely as a billing and processing agent for and on behalf of ValidMind and shall not be construed to be providing the applicable Service. The Payment Agent uses a third-party intermediary to manage credit card processing and this intermediary is not permitted to store, retain or use Subscriber’s billing information except to process Subscriber’s credit card information for the Payment Agent.

4.6 Payment Portals. If Subscriber mandates ValidMind to use a vendor payment portal or compliance portal that charges ValidMind a subscription fee or a percentage of any uploaded invoice as a required cost of doing business, Subscriber shall be invoiced by ValidMind for, and Subscriber is obligated to pay, the cost of this fee.

4.7 Promotional Credits. Any promotional credits issued hereunder will be subject to the ValidMind Promotional Credits Policy available on the ValidMind Agreements and Terms Website.

5. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

In connection with the Services, each Party will protect the other’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as each Party protects its own Confidential Information, but with no less than reasonable care. Except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement, each Party may use the other Party’s Confidential Information solely to exercise its respective rights and perform its respective obligations under this Agreement and shall disclose such Confidential Information (a) solely to the employees and/or non-employee service providers and contractors who have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound by terms of confidentiality intended to prevent the misuse of such Confidential Information; (b) as necessary to comply with an order or subpoena of any administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction; or (c) as reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law or regulation. Except for ValidMind’s Security Non-Disclosure Agreement (where executed by Subscriber), the provisions of this Section 5 shall control over any non-disclosure agreement by and between the Parties and any such non-disclosure agreement shall have no further force or effect with respect to the exchange of Confidential Information after the execution of this Agreement. This section shall not apply to any information which (a) was publicly known prior to the time of disclosure by the disclosing Party, or (b) becomes publicly known after such disclosure through no action or inaction of the receiving Party in violation of this Agreement. For clarity, any exchange of Confidential Information prior to the execution of this Agreement shall continue to be governed by any such non-disclosure agreement. Given the unique nature of Confidential Information, the Parties agree that any violation or threatened violation by a Party to this Agreement with respect to Confidential Information may cause irreparable injury to the other Party. Therefore, the Parties agree such violation or threatened violation shall entitle the other Party to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in addition to all legal remedies.

6. SECURITY OF SERVICE DATA

6.1 Third-Party Service Providers. ValidMind may use third-party service providers that are utilized by ValidMind to assist in providing the Services to Subscriber, but do not have access to Service Data. Any third-party service providers utilized by ValidMind will be subject to confidentiality obligations which are substantially similar to the confidentiality terms herein. ValidMind shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of members of ValidMind’s third-party service providers to the same extent that ValidMind would be responsible if ValidMind was performing the services of each third-party service provider directly under the terms of this Agreement.

6.2 Service Data. ValidMind will, and Subscriber hereby instructs ValidMind to, access Service Data to provide, secure and improve the Services. Subscriber is solely responsible for the accuracy, content, and legality of all Service Data. To improve ValidMind machine learning functionality, ValidMind models will only be trained on Service Data which has been subject to de-identification processes.

6.3 User and Client-User Contact Information. ValidMind shall be the Data Controller of User and Client-User Contact Information and shall process such User and Client-User Contact Information in accordance with ValidMind’s Privacy Policy located at https://www.validmind.com/privacy/. Subscriber is responsible for informing its User and Client-Users of their rights set forth in ValidMind’s Privacy Policy. Subscriber represents and warrants that it has obtained all relevant consents, permissions, and rights and provided all relevant notices necessary under applicable data protection laws for ValidMind to lawfully process User and Client-Users Contact Information as an independent Controller for the purposes set forth in ValidMind’s Privacy Policy.

7. TEMPORARY SUSPENSION

ValidMind reserves the right to restrict functionalities or suspend the Services (or any part thereof), Subscriber’s Account or Subscriber’s and/or Users’ or Client-Users’ rights to access and use the Services and remove, disable or quarantine any Service Data or other content if (a) ValidMind reasonably believes that Subscriber, Users, or Client-Users have violated this Agreement; or (b) ValidMind suspects or detects any Malicious Software connected to a Subscriber’s Account or use of a Service by Subscriber, Users, or Client-Users. This right includes the removal or disablement of Service Data or other content in accordance with ValidMind’s Copyright Infringement Notice and Takedown Policy available on ValidMind’s Intellectual Property Website. ValidMind also reserves the right to immediately suspend Subscriber’s Account for Subscriber’s violation of the ValidMind User Content and Conduct Policy. Unless legally prohibited from doing so or where ValidMind is legally required to take immediate action, ValidMind will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Subscriber via email when taking any of the foregoing actions. ValidMind shall not be liable to Subscriber, Users, Client-Users, or any other third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of Subscriber’s rights to access and use the Services. ValidMind may refer any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity by Subscriber, Users, or Client-Users to law enforcement authorities at ValidMind’s sole discretion.

8. NON-VALIDMIND SERVICES

If Subscriber decides to enable, access or use Non-ValidMind Services, Subscriber’s access and use of such Non-ValidMind Services shall be governed solely by the terms and conditions of such Non-ValidMind Services. ValidMind does not endorse, is not responsible or liable for, and makes no representations as to any aspect of such Non-ValidMind Services, including, without limitation, their content or the manner in which they handle, protect, manage or process data (including Service Data), or any interaction between Subscriber and the provider of such Non-ValidMind Services. ValidMind cannot guarantee the continued availability of such Non-ValidMind Service features, and may cease enabling access to them without entitling Subscriber to any refund, credit or other compensation, if, for example and without limitation, the provider of a Non-ValidMind Service ceases to make the Non-ValidMind Service available for interoperation with the corresponding Service in a manner acceptable to ValidMind. Subscriber irrevocably waives any claim against ValidMind with respect to such Non-ValidMind Services. ValidMind is not liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with Subscriber’s enablement, access or use of any such Non-ValidMind Services, or Subscriber’s reliance on the privacy practices, data security processes or other policies of such Non-ValidMind Services. Subscriber may be required to register for or log into such Non-ValidMind Services on their respective websites. By enabling any Non-ValidMind Services, Subscriber is expressly permitting ValidMind to disclose Subscriber’s login and Service Data to the provider of the Non-ValidMind Service as necessary to facilitate the use or enablement of such Non-ValidMind Services.

9. FREE TRIALS

If Subscriber registers for a free trial for any of the Services, ValidMind will make such Services available to Subscriber pursuant to the terms and conditions stated at: https://www.validmind.com/about/legal/free-trial-terms.

SECTION 10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

10.1 Intellectual Property Rights. Each Party shall retain all rights, title and interest in any of its respective Intellectual Property Rights. The rights granted to Subscriber, Users, and Client-Users to use the Service(s) under this Agreement do not convey any additional rights in the Service(s) or in any Intellectual Property Rights of ValidMind associated therewith.

ValidMind also reserves the right to seek intellectual property protection for any features, functionality or components that may be based on or that were initiated by suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations or other feedback regarding the Services that ValidMind receives from Subscriber, Users, Client-Users, or other third parties acting on Subscriber’s behalf.

10.3 Use of ValidMind Marks. Subscriber may only use the ValidMind Marks in a manner permitted by ValidMind’s Trademark Usage Guidelines available on ValidMind’s Intellectual Property Website, provided Subscriber does not attempt, now or in the future, to claim any rights in the ValidMind Marks, dilute or degrade the distinctiveness of the ValidMind Marks, or use the ValidMind Marks to disparage or misrepresent ValidMind or ValidMind Services. ValidMind’s ability to use Subscriber Marks will be set forth in a Service Order or by mutual agreement of the Parties.

For any breach of a warranty in this section, Subscriber’s exclusive remedies are those described in Section 3.3 herein. The warranties herein do not apply to any misuse or unauthorized modification of the Services made by Subscriber, its Users, or its Client-Users.

11.3 Disclaimers. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.2, THE SITES AND THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ALL SERVER AND NETWORK COMPONENTS, ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND VALIDMIND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. SUBSCRIBER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT VALIDMIND DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER MALICIOUS SOFTWARE, AND NO INFORMATION OR ADVICE OBTAINED BY SUBSCRIBER FROM VALIDMIND OR THROUGH THE SERVICES SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

12. INDEMNIFICATION

12.1 Indemnification by ValidMind. ValidMind will indemnify and defend the Subscriber from and against any claim brought by a third party against Subscriber alleging that Subscriber’s use of a Service as permitted hereunder infringes or misappropriates a third party’s valid patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret (an “IP Claim”). ValidMind shall, at ValidMind’s expense, defend such IP Claim and pay damages finally awarded against Subscriber in connection therewith, including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys engaged by ValidMind for such defense, provided that (a) Subscriber promptly notifies ValidMind of the threat or notice of such IP Claim; (b) ValidMind will have sole, exclusive control and authority to select defense attorneys, defend and/or settle any such IP Claim (however, ValidMind shall not settle or compromise any claim that results in liability or admission of any liability by Subscriber without Subscriber’s prior written consent); and (c) Subscriber fully cooperates with ValidMind in connection therewith. If use of a Service by Subscriber, Users, or Client-Users has become, or, in ValidMind’s opinion, is likely to become, the subject of any such IP Claim, ValidMind may, at ValidMind’s option and expense (i) procure for Subscriber the right to continue using the Service(s) as set forth hereunder; (ii) replace or modify a Service to make it non-infringing; or (iii) if options (i) or (ii) are not commercially reasonable or practicable as determined by ValidMind, terminate Subscriber’s subscription to the Service(s) and repay Subscriber, on a pro-rata basis, any Subscription Charges paid to ValidMind for the unused portion of Subscriber’s Subscription Term for such Service(s). ValidMind will have no liability or obligation under this Section 12.1 with respect to any IP Claim if such claim is caused in whole or in part by (x) compliance with designs, data, instructions or specifications provided by Subscriber; (y) modification of the Service(s) by anyone other than ValidMind or ValidMind Personnel; or (z) the combination, operation or use of the Service(s) with other hardware or software where a Service would not by itself be infringing. The provisions of this Section 12.1 state the sole, exclusive and entire liability of ValidMind to Subscriber and Subscriber’s sole remedy with respect to an IP Claim brought by reason of access to or use of a Service by Subscriber, Users, or Client-Users.

12.2 Indemnification by Subscriber. Subscriber will indemnify, defend and hold ValidMind harmless against any claim brought by a third party against ValidMind (a) arising from or related to Subscriber, Users, or Client-Users use of a Service in breach of this Agreement (and not arising solely from the Service itself); or (b) alleging that Subscriber Marks or content selected by Subscriber in the design and implementation of the Services, including but not limited to the URL, graphics, illustrations, logos, and marks, or Service Data infringes or misappropriates a third party’s valid patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret; provided that (i) ValidMind promptly notifies Subscriber of the threat or notice of such claim; (ii) Subscriber will have the sole and exclusive control and authority to select defense attorneys, and to defend and/or settle any such claim (however, Subscriber shall not settle or compromise any claim that results in liability or admission of any liability by ValidMind without ValidMind’s prior written consent); and (iii) ValidMind fully cooperates with Subscriber in connection therewith.

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

13.1 EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) SHALL EITHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SERVICE PROVIDERS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES OR BUSINESS, LOST DATA (WHERE SUCH DATA IS LOST IN THE COURSE OF TRANSMISSION VIA SUBSCRIBER’S SYSTEMS OR OVER THE INTERNET THROUGH NO FAULT OF VALIDMIND), BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF GOODWILL, COSTS OF COVER OR REPLACEMENT, OR FOR ANY OTHER TYPE OF INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE LOSS OR DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY OTHER INDIRECT LOSS OR DAMAGES INCURRED BY THE OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF OR COULD HAVE FORESEEN SUCH DAMAGES.

13.2 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, VALIDMIND’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE SUBSCRIBER, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE SUBSCRIPTION CHARGES AND/OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FEES PAID BY THE SUBSCRIBER DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FIRST EVENT OR OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. SUBSCRIBER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION 13.2 IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND LIMIT POTENTIAL LIABILITY GIVEN THE SUBSCRIPTION CHARGES AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FEES, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER IF VALIDMIND WERE TO ASSUME ANY FURTHER LIABILITY OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH HEREIN. VALIDMIND HAS RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO PROVIDE SUBSCRIBER WITH THE RIGHTS TO ACCESS AND USE THE SERVICES AND/OR THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT. THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 13.2 SHALL NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM VALIDMIND’S IP CLAIMS INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 12.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT.

13.3 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IN THE AGGREGATE. THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN APPLIES IN AGGREGATE TO ANY AND ALL CLAIMS BY SUBSCRIBER AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND SHALL NOT BE CUMULATIVE.

13.4 Jurisdiction-specific exclusions. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages or for a party’s own fraud, willful injury to the person or property of another, or violation of law, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply to Subscriber. IN THESE JURISDICTIONS, VALIDMIND’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

13.5 Enforceable against ValidMind. Any claims or damages that Subscriber may have against ValidMind shall only be enforceable against ValidMind and not any other entity, nor any officers, directors, or representatives of ValidMind or any other entity.

14. ASSIGNMENT, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENT

14.1 Assignment. Except as permitted herein, neither party may, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, assign all or any part of this Agreement or rights under this Agreement, or delegate performance of its duties under this Agreement, without written prior consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing (a) subject to Section 2.6 herein, Subscriber may, without ValidMind’s consent, assign this Agreement to an Affiliate or in connection with any merger or change of control of Subscriber or the sale of all or substantially all of Subscriber’s assets, provided that (i) any such successor agrees to fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) Subscriber and the assignee execute ValidMind’s assignment form; and (b) ValidMind may assign this Agreement without Subscriber’s consent to any member of ValidMind or in connection with any merger or change of control of ValidMind or the sale of all or substantially all of ValidMind’s assets provided that any such successor agrees to fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. If requested by ValidMind, Subscriber must execute an assignment to give effect to ValidMind’s assignment. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, this Agreement will be fully binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

14.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes any and all prior agreements between Subscriber and ValidMind, with regard to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall apply in lieu of the terms or conditions in any purchase order, request for information, request for proposal, or other order documentation Subscriber or any entity which Subscriber represents provide(s) and all such terms or conditions in such purchase order, request for information, request for proposal, or other order documentation are null and void. Except as expressly stated herein, there are no other agreements, representations, warranties or commitments which may be relied upon by either Party with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no oral promises, conditions, representations, understandings, interpretations or terms of any kind between the Parties, except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein. The headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of the terms of this Agreement.

14.3 Amendment. ValidMind may amend this Agreement from time to time, in which case the new Agreement will supersede prior versions. ValidMind will notify the Subscriber not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such amendment and Subscriber’s continued use of the Services following the effective date of any such amendment may be relied upon by ValidMind as Subscriber’s consent to any such amendment. ValidMind’s failure to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of that provision or of any other provision of this Agreement.

15. SEVERABILITY

If any term in this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a competent court or governing body, such term shall be replaced with another term consistent with the purpose and intent of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.
