During any such annual term, BIS will provide the Services to client at the prices set forth on the Fee Schedule for a period of twelve (12) months. Thereafter, in the event that this Agreement continues on an annual basis, BIS may increase its fees for such Services at its then current rates therefor.

  1. Disclaimer of Warranties. BIS does not represent or warrant that the services will resolve any or all questions, requests, errors, malfunctions, or defects presented by client or any end user or customer of client. BIS does not represent or warrant that the services it provides here­under may be interpreted in any manner to be the provision of the practice of medicine. all services are provided “as is” with no other representations or warranties, express or implied. except as otherwise expressly set forth in this agreement, BIS expressly disclaims any and all representa­tions and warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory including, but not limited to, any warranty of merchanti­bility or fitness for a particular purpose.

BIS represents that the clinical content provided hereunder, as applicable, is based on content provided by third party providers that periodically review the content themselves and with third-party clinicians. such clinical content is based on generally accepted practices; however, clinical content is constantly changing and no clinical support tool can stay abreast of advances in the field of medicine. client agrees that it will review the clinical con­tent to assure that it meets community standards of care and may, at the client’s sole discretion, request modifica­tions of the clinical content to reflect its understanding of best practices and community standards.

  1. Consequential Damages. neither BIS nor client shall be liable to each other or to any third party, end user, or other customer of client, for any indirect, incidental, special, con­sequential, punitive, or other damages, including, but not limited to, loss of profits, revenues, or business; loss of data; loss of software; and business interruption, resulting from, or in any way related to, this agreement or the termination or non-renewal of this agreement, or arising out of, or alleged to have arisen out of, any breach of this agreement, regardless of whether such party shall be advised, shall have other reason to know, or, in fact, shall know of the possibility of such damages. the limitation of liability set forth in this section shall apply regardless of whether such damages are sought based on breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, strict liability in tort, or other legal theory. the parties agree that this limitation of conse­quential damages is an essential and integral element of the bargain between the parties without which the parties would not have entered into this agreement.
  2. Limitation of Liability. In the event of any liability of BIS arising from this Agreement or the Services provided hereunder, BIS’s annual liability shall be limited to proven direct damages not to exceed, in the aggregate, the total amount of fees paid by client to BIS under this Agreement during the two (2) calendar months immediately preceding the month in which the event, or first occurrence of any cause of action giving rise to such liability as agreed or otherwise adjudicated, occurred. This limitation of liability is cumulative for each year this Agreement is in place and not per occurrence. The Parties acknowledge that the limitations of liability in this section and in the other provisions of this Agreement, and the allocation of risk herein, are an essential element of the bargain between the Parties, without which BIS would not have entered into this Agreement. BIS’s pricing and terms reflect this allocation of risk and the limitations of liability specified herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Parties acknowledge and agree that such limitation of liability shall not apply to BIS’s obligations under Section 12 hereof.
  3. Indemnification. Each Party (hereinafter, the “Indemnitor”) agrees to defend and indemnify the other Party, and the other Party’s directors, officers, employees, members, agents and representatives (hereinafter, the “Indemnitee”) and hold the Indemnitee harmless against any direct loss, damage, judgment, settlement, liability, cost, and expense with respect to this Agreement, including reasonable court costs and fees of attorneys (collectively, “Losses”), to the extent such Losses are the direct result of (a) gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitor or its directors, officers, employees, members, agents and/or representatives (collectively, “Indemnitor Parties”), (b) the dishonest, fraudulent, criminal, or civil acts of the Indemnitor Parties acting alone or in collusion with others, or (c) the material breach of any provision of this Agreement not subject to cure.

The Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnitor of any claim, action, cause of action, litigation or proceeding to which the foregoing indemnity may apply (collectively, “Claim”), and the Indemnitor shall have the right to take over the defense of any such Claim at its sole expense. Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, unless suit shall have been instituted against the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall not have taken control of such suit as provided below.

The Indemnitor shall have the sole authority to defend or settle Claims at its sole cost and expense, and shall assume the defense of such Claims using counsel of its choice (subject to the approval of the Indemnitee, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that if the Indemnitor’s counsel has an actual conflict of interest in representing both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in such Claim, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to engage separate counsel, the reasonable costs and expenses of which shall be paid by the Indemnitor (but in no event shall the Indemnitor be liable to pay for more than one such separate counsel). If the Indemnitor, after being given all information in the Indemnitee’s reasonable control concerning the Claim, and despite the Indemnitee’s willingness to reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnitor with the defense of the Claim, does not assume defense of the Claim, then the Indemnitee may defend against such Claim, after giving notice to the Indemnitor, on such terms as the Indemnitee may deem appropriate, and the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate (but not control) the defense of such Claim. If the Indemnitor thereafter seeks to question the manner in which the Indemnitee defended such Claim, then the Indemnitor shall have the burden to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the Indemnitee did not defend or settle the Claim in a reasonably prudent manner.

notwithstanding anything contained in the forego­ing, BIS shall not be obligated to indemnify client for any loss or damage arising from BIS’s solicitation efforts on behalf of client nor the use of any products or services of client by any persons, or, to the extent such loss or damage may be caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of client, or its employees, agents, vendors, subcontractors, or independent contractors (other than BIS).

client shall indemnify and hold BIS harmless for, from, and against, any claims, damages, costs, or expenses arising from or related to any and all changes made at the request of client to the clinical content.

The obligations of this section shall survive termination of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, this section until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations applicable to any Claims.

  1. Intellectual Property Rights. client grants BIS the non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use client’s trademarks and similar property, including images and logos, on any materials used in conjunction with its Services under this Agreement on behalf of client services. BIS will provide client with views, proofs, illustrations, narrative, or other acceptable review materials for such uses prior to any use thereof, and client will have the right to approve, in its sole and absolute discretion, such uses of its trademarks and similar property.

In performing its obligations under this Agreement, BIS may develop, create, modify, and improve scripts, templates, web pages, ideas, and other creative works on BIS’s platforms based on client’s feedback and or feature requests.

BIS may use such ip in support of other customers without client’s express, prior written consent, except that client agrees that nothing herein shall preclude BIS from using similar functional modifications, ideas, or processes for other customers of BIS.

  1. Confidentiality. The Parties acknowledge and agree that confidential information of each Party may be disclosed to the other Party in connection with the performance of this Agreement. “Confidential Information” shall mean information not generally known to the public, including, but not limited to, software, inventions, trade secret information about processes, products, research and development, manufacture, purchasing, accounting, engineering, marketing, merchandising, selling, servicing, financing, telemarketing, business systems and processes, and operations, as well as information concerning the contents of this Agreement, the identities of customers, all customer lists, and the sales and shipments made to such customers; provided, however, that subject to the provisions of Section 16 hereof, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent either Party from referring to its relationship with the other under this Agreement or the description of services provided hereunder in a generic and otherwise descriptive form.

Each Party agrees that it will use the other Party’s Confidential Information only for the purposes of performance under this Agreement, and that it will not disclose any of the other Party’s Confidential Information during the term of this Agreement and thereafter without the advance written consent of the other Party. In the event the receiving Party is served with a subpoena or other process requiring the disclosure of any of the other Party’s Confidential Information, such receiving Party shall promptly notify the other Party of such request and reasonably cooperate with the efforts of the other Party to seek a protective order or other relief at the sole expense of the other Party.

Upon termination of this Agreement, all Confidential Information received by a Party hereunder shall be returned to the disclosing Party, or, if otherwise requested in writing, destroyed. The confidentiality obligations contained herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years except with respect to client patient information for which the confidentiality obligations shall be permanent.

Each Party shall inform its employees, agents, subcontractors, and independent contractors, if any, who have access to the other Party’s Confidential Information, of the foregoing confidentiality obligations and shall use all reasonable means as it shall normally use in its business operations to assure that such employees, agents, subcontractors, and independent contractors comply with such obligations.

The terms and conditions set forth in the Addendum shall survive the term of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that compliance with the provisions of the Addendum is material and a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Any failure by the Parties to comply with the Addendum shall render this Agreement immediately void and unenforceable ab initio.

  1. Publicity. Except as provided at Sections 13 and 14, and herein, neither Party shall make any written use of or reference to the other Party’s name, trade names, fictitious business names, trademarks, service marks or logos for any marketing, public relations, advertising, display or other business purpose or make any use of the other Party’s facilities for any activity unrelated to the express business purposes and interests of the other Party under this Agreement, without the other Party’s prior written consent. In the case of client’s written consent, such consent may be granted or withheld in client’s sole and absolute discretion.

It shall not be unreasonable for client to withhold its approval under the immediately preceding sentence if BIS’s web site, marketing materials and/or sales proposals (a) utilize client’s name or logos in a manner different or dissimilar from the names or logos of BIS’s other clients or customers (whether through the use of font styles or sizes, color or italicized, bold or underlined type) so as to unduly call attention to such name or logos, or (b) indicate, state or imply that client endorses any of the Services.

The Parties hereby agree that the remedy at law for the breach of any provision of Sections 13, 14 and 16 hereof may be inadequate and that each Party may be entitled to injunctive relief or specific performance without bond, in addition to any other rights and remedies to which such Party may have for any such breach. Each Party agrees that its obligations, covenants and agreements and the rights of the other Party as set forth in Sections 13, 14 and 16 hereof shall survive any termination or earlier expiration of this Agreement.
