TERM, TERMINATION, EVENTS OF DEFAULT

The term of the VOW Programs and Services and any renewal years are collectively defined as the “Term.” Sales contract terms for monthly and annual recurring fees are effective upon first invoice date. At the end of the Term, all rights to access or use the VOW Programs and the Services set forth in the Sales Order, shall end, subject to the transition services provisions of this Agreement. If either of us breaches a material term of this Agreement and fails to correct the breach within 30 days of written notice explaining in sufficient detail the basis of the breach, then the breaching Party is in default and the non-breaching Party may terminate the applicable Sales Order under which the breach occurred. If VOW ends the Sales Order as specified in the preceding sentence, you must pay within 30 days all undisputed fees which have accrued prior to such end, as well as all sums remaining unpaid under the Sales Order under this Agreement plus related taxes, to the extent applicable, and expenses. If VOW ends the Services under the Indemnification section, you must pay within 30 days the 100% of the balance of all outstanding, unpaid remaining license fees due over the term of the Sales Order, plus related taxes and expenses. The non-breaching Party may agree in its sole discretion to extend the 30-day period for so long as the breaching Party continues reasonable efforts to cure the breach. You agree that if you are in default under this Agreement, you may not use the VOW Programs and VOW shall have no further obligation to support any VOW Programs. In addition, VOW may immediately suspend your password, account, and access to or use of the VOW Programs (i) if you fail to pay VOW as required under this Agreement and do not cure within the first ten days of the 30 day cure period, or (ii) if you violate any provision within Sections 2.1, 2.3, 2.5, 3.1, 3.2, 4.5, 4.6, 5.1 and 5.2 of this Agreement. VOW may terminate the Services and access to the VOW Programs if any of the foregoing is not cured within 30 days after VOW’s initial notice thereof. Any suspension by VOW of the Services and access to the VOW Programs under this paragraph shall not excuse you from your obligation to make payment(s) under this Agreement. At your request, and for a period of up to 60 days after the termination of the applicable Sales Order, VOW may permit you to access the VOW Programs \ solely to the extent necessary for you to retrieve a file of your data then in such VOW Programs environment.

Provisions that survive termination or expiration of the agreement are those relating to limitation of liability, infringement indemnity, payment, and others which by their nature are intended to survive or are otherwise expressly stated to survive.

6.4 For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that VOW terminates this Agreement due to your default before the end of the term set forth in the Sales Order or you terminate this Agreement other than for VOW’s material breach of this Agreement, prior to the end of the term set forth in the Sales Order, you shall pay to VOW a termination fee equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the remaining unpaid license fees due under this Agreement set forth in the Sales Order.

6.6 If you fail to remit payment for an invoice to VOW in accordance with the above terms for more than thirty (30) days following the invoice date, VOW may, in its sole discretion, either permanently or until payments due are received, terminate its obligations under this Agreement without any further obligation. Such right of discontinuance of service shall be in addition to any other rights which VOW may have at law or in equity.

6.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, termination of this Agreement shall neither relieve Customer of any accrued obligations to pay money to VOW nor entitle Customer to any refund of fees for VOW software licenses or other amounts paid hereunder.

ARTICLE 7
FORCE MAJEURE

The Party whose performance is affected by the force majeure event will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of a force majeure event.

ARTICLE 8
NO WARRANTY

THE CREDIT WILL BE PROVIDED ONLY TOWARDS ANY OUTSTANDING BALANCE FOR SAAS LICENSE FEES OWED TO VOW, AND THE REMITTANCE OF SUCH CREDIT WILL REPRESENT YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, AND VOW’S SOLE LIABILITY, FOR ALL BREACHES OF ANY WARRANTY SPECIFIED IN THE AGREEMENT.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THESE WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND THERE ARE NO OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

8.4 You hereby indemnify and hold harmless VOW, its officers, agents, employees, subsidiaries, parents, affiliates and insurers from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, claims, lawsuits (including for medical malpractice), including costs and expenses in connection therewith, for death or injury to any persons or loss of any property whatsoever, caused in any manner by your use of the VOW Programs. In addition, if a third party makes a claim against either you or VOW (“Recipient” which may refer to you or VOW depending upon which party received the Material), that any information, design, specification, instruction, software, service, data, or material (“Material”) furnished by either you or VOW (“Provider” which may refer to you or VOW depending on which party provided the Material), and used by the Recipient infringes its intellectual property rights, the Provider, at its sole cost and expense, will defend the Recipient against the claim and indemnify the Recipient from the damages, liabilities, costs and expenses awarded by the court to the third party claiming infringement or the settlement agreed to by the Provider, if the Recipient does the following: notifies the Provider promptly in writing, not later than 30 days after the Recipient receives notice of the claim (or sooner if required by applicable law); gives the Provider sole control of the defense and any settlement negotiations; and gives the Provider the information, authority, and assistance the Provider needs to defend against or settle the claim.

If the Provider believes or it is determined that any of the Material may have violated a third party’s intellectual property rights, the Provider may choose to either modify the Material to be non-infringing (while substantially preserving its utility or functionality) or obtain a license to allow for continued use, or if these alternatives are not commercially reasonable, the Provider may end the license for, and require return of, the applicable Material and refund any unused, prepaid fees the Recipient may have paid to the other party for such Material. If such return materially affects VOW’s ability to meet its obligations under the relevant Sales Order, then VOW may, at its option and upon 30 days prior written notice, terminate the Sales Order. The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient if the Recipient alters the Material or uses it outside the scope of use identified in the Provider’s user documentation or Services policies or if the Recipient uses a version of the Materials which has been superseded, if the infringement claim could have been avoided by using an unaltered current version of the Material which was provided to the Recipient. The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon (i) any information, design, specification, instruction, software, data, or material not furnished by the Provider, or (ii) any Material from a third party portal or other external source that is accessible to you within or from the service (e.g., a third party Web page accessed via a hyperlink). VOW will not indemnify you to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon the combination of any Material with any products or services not provided by VOW. VOW will not indemnify you for infringement caused by your actions against any third party if the Services as delivered to you and used in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would not otherwise infringe any third-party intellectual property rights. VOW will not indemnify you for any infringement claim that is based on: (1) a patent that you were made aware of prior to the effective date of this Agreement (pursuant to a claim, demand, or notice); or (2) your actions prior to the effective date of this Agreement. This Section provides the parties’ exclusive remedy for any infringement claims for damages.
