3.13. Evaluation Software Warranty Disclaimer. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, EVALUATION SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS-IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

A copy of the current maintenance and support policies is available upon request from Eradani. Customer shall provide Eradani with the cooperation, materials, information, access and support that Eradani deems to be reasonably required to allow Eradani to provide the Software and Maintenance. Eradani’s obligations with respect to Maintenance are expressly conditioned upon Customer providing the cooperation, materials, information, access and support. Eradani will provide the Maintenance only to Customer, and not to any third-party or client of Customer. If and to the extent that Customer has bundled the Software with other products and has provided such bundled products to third parties under an approved Eradani Authorized Reseller agreement, it shall be the obligation of Customer, and not of Eradani, to provide support and maintenance services to those third parties in accordance with the terms of the Eradani Authorized Reseller agreement.

4.2. Maintenance and Support Services Warranty. Eradani warrants that it shall provide Maintenance and Support and Services in a manner prevailing in the industry using qualified personnel. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for Eradani’ breach of this warranty is Eradani will re-perform the defective service.

4.3.Customer Site. If Eradani provides Services at a Customer site, Customer will ensure that the location will be safe for occupation and use by Eradani’s employees and contractors. Customer will defend and indemnify Eradani and Eradani’s employees and contractors for any damage to person or property incurred by them as a result of any unsafe condition at a Customer site. Eradani’s employees and contractors will comply with all reasonable Customer safety and security policies communicated to Eradani by Customer.

5. Professional Services. Section 5 shall apply to all Professional Services ordered by Customer and provided by Eradani.

5.1. Statements of Work. Eradani will provide the Professional Services, including any Deliverables, described in statements of work executed by the parties (each a “Statement of Work” or “SOW”).

Unless provided otherwise in the applicable Statement of Work, Eradani shall invoice Customer on a monthly basis as Professional Services are performed and expenses are incurred.

5.5. Ownership. Upon payment of fees specified in the related SOW, all specifications, designs, processes, techniques, concepts, code, discoveries and inventions made or developed in connection with the Professional Services, that are NOT part of Eradani Software or Documentation, including but not limited to Deliverables, Creations and Customizations (all of which belong to Eradani), shall be the sole and exclusive property of Customer. All Eradani Software, derivative works and all related materials shall remain the exclusive property of Eradani.

5.6. Change Orders. If Customer desires to change an executed SOW, Eradani will consider Customer’s request and if acceptable to Eradani, the parties will execute a revised SOW or a Change Order.

Any such additional fees or schedule changes will be mutually agreed and identified in the revised SOW or Change Order.

5.7. Warranty. Eradani warrants that it shall provide Professional Services in a professional and workpersonlike manner. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for Eradani’ breach of this warranty is Eradani will at its option, (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to re-perform the defective Professional Services; or (ii) provide a refund to customer for the non-conforming Professional Services. In the event of a refund, Customer’s license to Professional Services issued in connection with Section 3 will immediately terminate.

5.8. Custom Software Development. Custom software development and Creations are not provided as part of Eradani Software Maintenance and Support. Custom software development may be provided for an additional fee, and will be subject to an additional statement of work signed by the parties.

The initial Subscription Term under this Agreement commences on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of twelve (12) months, or until terminated by Eradani or Customer as provided herein. Thereafter, the Subscription Term automatically renews for successive twelve (12) month periods (each a “Renewal Term”) unless Customer or Eradani provides written notice of its election to not renew at least sixty (60) days prior to the applicable renewal date. During the sixty (60) day period prior to the expiration of the then-current Subscription Term, Eradani shall send Customer an Invoice for fees payable by the Customer for the Renewal Term. If Customer fails to pay the Subscription fees prior to the date set forth on the invoice, and in any event prior to the expiration date of the then-current Subscription Term, Eradani may charge Customer an additional fee, at its sole discretion, as a condition of reinstatement of the Subscription during the Renewal Term.

Upon exercise of option (d), Eradani shall have no liability to the Customer arising out of Customer’s continued usage of the Software.

12. Confidentiality

12.1. “Confidential Information” means the non-public information that is exchanged between the parties, provided that such information is: (a) identified as confidential at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party (“Discloser”), or (b) disclosed under circumstances that would indicate to a reasonable person that the information ought to be treated as confidential by the party receiving such information (“Recipient”). For the avoidance of doubt, Eradani Confidential Information includes the Software, Materials, Services and technical information relating to the Software, Materials and Services.

12.2. Usage and Obligations. A Recipient may use the Confidential Information that it receives from the other party solely for the purpose of performing activities contemplated under this Agreement. Recipient shall not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party. A Recipient shall protect it by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination or publication as the Recipient uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature. The Recipient may disclose the Confidential Information to its employees with a need to know in order to fulfill the purpose of this Agreement, who are bound by nondisclosure obligations at least as protective of the Discloser’s rights as this Agreement.

12.3. Exclusions. This provision imposes no obligation upon a Recipient with respect to Confidential Information that: (i) is or becomes public knowledge through no fault of such Recipient; (ii) was in the rightful possession of Recipient before receipt from the Discloser and was not subject to a duty of confidentiality; (iii) is rightfully received by the Recipient without any duty of confidentiality; (iv) is disclosed generally to a third party by the Discloser without a duty of confidentiality on the third party; or (v) is independently developed by the Recipient without use of the Confidential Information.

12.4. Required Disclosures. The Recipient may disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information as required by law or court order provided: (i) Recipient promptly notifies the Discloser in writing of the requirement for disclosure affording opportunity for Discloser to take protective actions; and (ii) discloses only as much of the Confidential Information as is required, maintaining all proprietary notices affixed to such Confidential Information. Upon request from the Discloser or upon termination of the Agreement, the Recipient shall return all Confidential Information.

12.5. Injunctive Relief. Each party will retain all right, title and interest to such party’s Confidential Information. The parties acknowledge that a violation of the Recipient’s obligations with respect to Confidential Information may cause irreparable harm to the Discloser for which a remedy at law would be inadequate. Therefore, in addition to any and all remedies available at law, Discloser shall be entitled to seek an injunction or other equitable remedies in all legal proceedings in the event of any threatened or actual violation of any or all of the provisions hereof.

12.6. Similar Materials and Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Eradani will be free to use any concepts, processes, techniques, improvements or other know-how developed by Eradani in the course of performance of this Agreement (even if similar to materials, products and Services provided hereunder) free from any use restriction or payment obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to this Agreement, including this Section 12.6, Eradani does not claim any rights to any of Customer’s Confidential Information.

12.7. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Eradani (i) does not require Protected Health Information (“PHI”) or Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) to perform its Services, and (ii) is not processing or transmitting PHI or PII under this Agreement. Customer shall comply with all laws concerning the disclosure of PHI and PII. Unless PHI or PII is required for Eradani to perform its Services, Customer shall not send or disclose PHI or PII to Eradani. If Customer needs to disclose PHI or PII to Eradani, Customer shall follow Eradani’ written instructions when disclosing such PHI or PII to Eradani.

13. Audit and Verification.

13.1. Audit. Customer agrees that Eradani may audit the Customer’s use of the Software solely for the purpose of determining Customer’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Customer further agrees to maintain records sufficient for Eradani to verify compliance with the provisions of this Agreement during the Term of this Agreement and for two (2) years thereafter.

13.2. Remedy. If any such examination conducted by Eradani or its representatives determines the Customer has used any Software beyond its authorized use or is otherwise not in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, then in addition to any legal remedies or equitable relief that may be available to Eradani, Customer shall be subject to charge for all expenses incurred by Eradani for any such examination. Without, prejudice to the foregoing, if shortfall in payment to Eradani is so disclosed, Eradani will notify the Customer in writing of the shortfall and Customer shall pay directly to Eradani all amounts specified, within thirty (30) days of Eradani notification to Customer of such shortfall.

Any purported assignment or transfer in contravention of this section 14.3 shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto will bind and inure to the benefit of their respective permitted successors and assigns.
.
14.4. Relationship of the Parties. The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating a joint venture, partnership, agency, employment or fiduciary relationship between the parties. Neither party has any authority to bind the other party.
