SoftwareIDM reserves the right to subcontract any of the Services provided any such subcontractor meets the requirements and conditions of this Agreement and the Statement of Work. SoftwareIDM will be responsible for the compliance of subcontractor with the terms herein and the Statement of Work. SoftwareIDM may change or replace Personnel as required. Nothing in this Agreement restricts SoftwareIDM’s right to perform similar services for any other customer or to assign any Personnel to perform similar services for any other company, provided that SoftwareIDM complies with its obligations to protect Customer’s Confidential Information.

4. Changes to Statements of Work. Customer may submit to SoftwareIDM written requests to change the scope of Services described in a Statement of Work (each such request, a “Change Order Request”). If SoftwareIDM elects to consider such a Change Order Request, then SoftwareIDM will promptly notify Customer if it believes that the Change Order Request requires an adjustment to the fees or to the schedule for the performance of the Services. In such event, the parties will negotiate in good faith a reasonable and equitable adjustment to the fees and/or schedule, as applicable. SoftwareIDM will continue to perform Services pursuant to the existing Statement of Work and will have no obligation to perform any Change Order Request unless and until the parties have agreed in writing to such an equitable adjustment.

5. Customer Responsibilities.

5.1 Cooperation. Customer acknowledges that its timely provision of (and SoftwareIDM’s access to) its facilities, equipment, assistance, cooperation, data, information and materials from Customer’s officers, agents and employees (the “Cooperation”) is essential to SoftwareIDM’s performance of the Services. SoftwareIDM shall not be liable for any delay or deficiency in performing the Services if Customer does not provide the necessary Cooperation. As part of the Cooperation, Customer shall (1) designate a project manager or technical lead to liaise with SoftwareIDM while it performs the Services; (2) allocate and engage additional resources as may be required to assist SoftwareIDM in performing the Services; and (3) making available to SoftwareIDM any data, information and any other materials required by SoftwareIDM to perform the Services, including any data, information or materials specifically identified in the Statement of Work (collectively, “Customer Materials”). Customer will be responsible for ensuring that all such Customer Materials are accurate and complete.

5.2 Permissions for Access. In the event Customer requires any Personnel to sign any waivers, releases, or other documents as a condition for SoftwareIDM Personnel to gain access to Customer’s premises for performance of the Services (“Access Documents”), Customer agrees: (a) that Personnel who will be required to sign Access Documents will sign on behalf of SoftwareIDM, (b) that any additional or conflicting terms in Access Documents with this Agreement shall have no effect, and (c) Customer shall pursue any claims for breach of any terms in the Access Documents against SoftwareIDM and not the individual signing.

6. Designated Contacts. Each party will designate in each Statement of Work a person who will be the primary point of contact between the parties for all matters relating to the Services. A party may change the primary contact by written notice to the other party.

7. Relationship of the Parties. SoftwareIDM is performing the Services as an independent contractor. SoftwareIDM is not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of Customer. Neither party has the authority to bind or act on behalf of the other party in any capacity or circumstance whether by contract or otherwise. SoftwareIDM acknowledges and agrees that its Personnel are not eligible for or entitled to receive any compensation, benefits, or other incidents of employment that Customer makes available to its employees. SoftwareIDM is solely responsible for all taxes, expenses, withholdings, and other similar statutory obligations arising out of the relationship between SoftwareIDM and its Personnel and the performance of Services by such Personnel.

8. Payment by Customer.

8.1 Fees for Services. Customer will pay SoftwareIDM the fees set forth in the applicable Statement of Work. All prepaid Education and Professional Services must be redeemed within twelve (12) months from the date of purchase/invoice. At the end of the twelve (12) month term, any remaining pre-paid unused Education or Professional Services will expire; no refunds will be provided for any remaining pre-paid unused Education or Professional Services. Unless otherwise specifically stated in a Statement of Work, Education is invoiced and payable in advance.

8.2 SoftwareIDM Expenses. Unless otherwise specified in the Statement of Work, Customer will reimburse SoftwareIDM for all reasonable expenses incurred by SoftwareIDM while performing the Services, including without limitation, transportation, lodging, meal and out-of-pocket expenses, and third party online and offline research services directly related to the provision of Services. SoftwareIDM will provide, upon request, documentation of all such expenses in excess of US $25 with each related invoice.

8.3 Payment Terms. SoftwareIDM will invoice Customer on a regular basis for all applicable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of the Services and other payments due under this Agreement and any Statement of Work. Customer will pay each such invoice within thirty (30) days from the date of invoice. Any amounts under an invoice that remain unpaid after thirty (30) days shall accrue interest beginning on the date that is thirty (30) days after the Customer’s receipt thereof at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is lower.

8.4 Taxes. Unless otherwise specified in the Statement of Work, quote, or invoice, all fees, expenses, and other amounts payable to SoftwareIDM hereunder do not include any sales, use, value added, excise, or other applicable taxes, tariffs or duties, payment of which will be the sole responsibility of Customer (excluding any taxes based on SoftwareIDM’s net income). Customer will promptly reimburse SoftwareIDM for any such amounts that SoftwareIDM pays on Customer’s behalf.

9. Ownership.

9.1 Customer. Customer will own all rights, title and interest in any work product specifically identified in a Statement of Work as Customer owned (“Work Product”), including all Intellectual Property Rights therein. SoftwareIDM hereby assigns to Customer all rights, title and interest in and to the Work Product (excluding all SoftwareIDM Materials incorporated into the Work Product or on which the Work Product is based), including all Intellectual Property Rights therein. At Customer’s request and expense, SoftwareIDM shall assist and cooperate with Customer in all reasonable respects and shall execute documents, and take such further acts reasonably requested by Customer to enable it to acquire, transfer, maintain, perfect and enforce its ownership rights in the Work Product.

9.2 SoftwareIDM. Subject to Customer’s rights in the Customer Materials and in the Work Product, Customer agrees that SoftwareIDM shall own (and Customer hereby assigns to SoftwareIDM) all materials, software, report templates, panels templates, dashboard templates, schedules templates, workflows templates, and rule engine items, tools, utilities, technology, processes, inventions, devices, methodologies, specifications, documentation, data, inventions, works of authorship and other innovations of any kind, including, without limitation, any improvements or modifications to SoftwareIDM’s proprietary computer software programs and related materials, that SoftwareIDM, or Personnel working for or through SoftwareIDM, may make, conceive, develop or reduce to practice, alone or jointly with others, in the course of performing the Services or as a result of such Services (collectively, “Professional Services Materials”), including all Intellectual Property Rights therein.

Customer acknowledges that SoftwareIDM, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to license the Professional Services Materials or any portion thereof into products or services for use by other licensees or customers of SoftwareIDM. At SoftwareIDM’s request and expense, Customer shall assist and cooperate with SoftwareIDM in all reasonable respects and shall execute documents, give testimony and take such further acts reasonably requested by SoftwareIDM to enable SoftwareIDM to acquire, transfer, maintain, perfect and enforce Intellectual Property Rights and other legal protection for the Professional Services Materials.

9.3 License to Customer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, SoftwareIDM grants to Customer a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sub-licensable, revocable license to the Professional Services Materials solely for Customer’s internal business purpose. Customer shall not, without the written consent of SoftwareIDM, (a) use the Professional Services Materials except as expressly authorized in this Agreement; (b) copy the Professional Services Materials (except for reasonable backup purposes); (c) modify, adapt, or create derivative works of the Professional Services Materials; (d) rent, lease, loan, resell, transfer, sublicense (including but not limited to offering any of the functionality of the Professional Services Materials on a service provider, hosted or time sharing basis) or distribute the Professional Services Materials to any third party; (e) decompile, disassemble or reverse-engineer the Professional Services Materials or otherwise attempt to derive the Professional Services Materials source code; or (f) authorize any third parties to do any of the above. For the avoidance of doubt, Professional Services Materials shall not include any SoftwareIDM software (“SoftwareIDM Software”) and any SoftwareIDM Software shall be licensed pursuant to a SoftwareIDM Software License Agreement entered into between the parties.

10. Confidentiality

10.1 Use and Disclosure of Confidential Information. The receiving party of Confidential Information (“Recipient”) agrees: (i) to maintain the Confidential Information of the party disclosing such information (the “Discloser”) in the strictest of confidence; (ii) not to disclose such Confidential Information to any third parties; and (iii) not to use any such Confidential Information for any purpose other than in furtherance of this Agreement and the activities described herein. Recipient will treat Confidential Information of the Discloser with the same degree of care as it accords to its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than reasonable care. Recipient may disclose the Confidential Information of Discloser to its directors, officers, employees, consultants, and subcontractors (collectively, “Representatives”) who have a bona fide need to know such Confidential Information, but solely to the extent necessary to perform the Services and for no other purpose, provided that each such Representative first executes a written agreement (or is otherwise already bound by a written agreement) that contains use and nondisclosure restrictions at least as protective of the other party’s Confidential Information as those set forth in this Agreement. Recipient shall be responsible for any breach of these confidentiality obligations by its Representatives, which shall be considered a breach by Recipient. Any disclosure of Confidential Information to Recipient by (a) Discloser or any of its affiliates or (b) any unaffiliated third party at the request of Discloser shall be deemed to be a disclosure made by Discloser under this Agreement.

10.2 Exclusions. The obligations of Recipient under this Confidentiality section shall not apply to any Confidential Information that (a) is now or thereafter becomes generally known or available to the public, through no act or omission on the part of Recipient (or any of its Representatives, affiliates, or agents) or any third party subject to any use or disclosure restrictions with respect to such Confidential Information; (b) was known by or lawfully in the possession of Recipient, prior to receiving such information from Discloser, without restriction as to use or disclosure; (c) is rightfully acquired by Recipient from a third party who has the right to disclose it and who provides it without restriction as to use or disclosure; or (d) is independently developed by Recipient independently without access to any Confidential Information of Discloser.

10.3 Required Disclosures. The provisions of this Confidentiality section will not restrict Recipient from disclosing Discloser’s Confidential Information to the extent required by any law or regulation or compelled by a court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction, provided that, to the extent permissible under law, Recipient uses reasonable efforts to give Discloser reasonable advance notice of such required disclosure in order to enable Discloser to prevent or limit disclosure. Recipient shall only disclose that portion of such Confidential Information that, in the opinion of its legal counsel, is reasonably required to be disclosed and shall exercise all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Confidential Information it discloses.

10.4 Independent Development. Recipient reserves the right to develop and market any technology, products or services or pursue business opportunities that compete with or are similar to those disclosed by Discloser under this Agreement without the use of the Discloser’s Confidential Information. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Recipient from employing general ideas, concepts or techniques which may be retained in the unaided human memory by Recipient Personnel in the course of their review of the Confidential Information (but without any attempt to memorize such information). The foregoing sentence shall not, however, grant Recipient any rights under any patents or copyrights.

10.5 Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement or an applicable Statement of Work, Recipient will promptly return to Discloser, or at Discloser’s option, destroy, all tangible items and embodiments containing or consisting of Discloser’s Confidential Information and all copies thereof and provide written certification of such destruction or return by an authorized person.

10.6 Injunctive Relief. Each party acknowledges that the unauthorized use or disclosure of Discloser’s Confidential Information would cause Discloser to incur irreparable harm and significant damages, the degree of which may be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, each party agrees that Discloser will have the right to obtain immediate equitable relief to enjoin any unauthorized use or disclosure of its Confidential Information, in addition to any other rights and remedies that it may have at law or otherwise.

11. SoftwareIDM Warranty to Customer. SoftwareIDM warrants that the Services will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with applicable industry standards. This warranty will be in effect for a period of thirty (30) days from the completion of any Services. As Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and SoftwareIDM’s entire liability for any breach of the foregoing warranty, SoftwareIDM will, at its sole option and expense, promptly re-perform any Services that fail to meet this limited warranty or refund to Customer the fees paid for the non-conforming Services.

THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THIS SECTION ARE IN LIEU OF, AND SOFTWAREIDM DISCLAIMS, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, ACCURACY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, INTEGRATION AND WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. BECAUSE THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY MAY NOT BE VALID IN SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS, THE ABOVE DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO COMPANY. SOFTWAREIDM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWAREIDM MATERIALS OR ANY OF THE SERVICES PERFORMED PURSUANT TO ANY STATEMENT OF WORK WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

12. Mutual Indemnity. Each party (an “Indemnifying Party”) will defend (or settle), indemnify and hold harmless at its expense, any action brought against the other party (an “Indemnified Party”) by a third party to the extent that it is based upon a claim for bodily injury, personal injury (including death) to any person, or damage to tangible property resulting from the negligent acts or willful misconduct of the Indemnifying Party or its Personnel hereunder, and will pay any reasonable, direct, out-of-pocket costs, damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees attributable to such claim that are awarded in final judgment against the Indemnified Party (or are payable in settlement by the Indemnified Party); provided that the Indemnified Party: (i) promptly notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing of the claim; (ii) grants the Indemnifying Party sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim; and (iii) provides the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, with all assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the claim. The Indemnifying Party will have no obligation under this Section to the extent any claim is based on the negligent acts or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party or its employees or subcontractors.

13. Mutual Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS OR PROFITS OR, FOR CUSTOMER, COSTS OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE SERVICES) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES OR ANY WORK PRODUCT, HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF THE OTHER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOFTWAREIDM’S TOTAL LIAIBILITY TO CUSTOMER, FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION AND ALL THEORIES OF LIABILITY, WILL BE LIMITED TO AND WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID TO SOFTWAREIDM BY CUSTOMER UNDER THE STATEMENT OF WORK GIVING RISE TO ANY LIABILITY HEREUNDER.

14. Agreement Term and Termination

14.1 Term. This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will remain in force and effect for as long as SoftwareIDM is performing Services pursuant to any Statement of Work.

14.2 Termination. Each party will have the right to terminate this Agreement or any Statement of Work if the other party breaches any material term of this Agreement or Statement of Work and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof. Notice of termination of any Statement of Work shall not be considered notice of termination of this Agreement unless specifically stated in the notice; provided, however, any termination of this Agreement shall automatically terminate all Statement(s) of Work.

14.3 Effect of Termination. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement or of any Statement of Work: (i) each party will promptly return to the other party all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession or control; and (ii) Customer will, within thirty (30) days after receipt of SoftwareIDM’s invoice, pay all accrued and unpaid fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recipient may retain copies of project notes and work product for reference purposes, which the Recipient shall continue to treat as Confidential Information under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, anything that is stored on routine back-up media solely for the purpose of disaster recovery shall be subject to destruction in due course, provided that, employees are precluded from accessing such information in the ordinary course of business prior to destruction.

14.4 Survival. Any terms of this Agreement that by their nature extend beyond the Agreement termination remain in effect until fulfilled, and apply to both parties’ respective successors and assigns.

15. General Provisions

15.7 Severability. All rights and remedies, whether conferred hereunder or by any other instrument or law, will be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect, and the provision affected will be construed so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permissible by law.
