ARTICLE 3
Additional General Provisions Relating to Services

3.1. Confidential Information.

By reason of the relationship hereunder, each party will have access to certain information and materials concerning the other party’s technology business, plans, and customers that are confidential and of substantial value to such party, which value would be impaired if such information were disclosed to third parties (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information of STI shall include, without limitation, information specifically designated as confidential, the features and functions of the Software Services that are not available to the general public via the public internet (including screen shots of the same), future product plans, any documentation or specifications provided to Client, the commercial terms (including pricing) of this Agreement but not the mere existence of this Agreement, any Schedules, statements of work, addenda or amendments to this Agreement, performance and security test results (whether conducted by STI or Client), and any other proprietary, financial or business information supplied to Client by STI. Each party agrees that it will not and will ensure that its employees, agents and contractors will not make use of (except in furtherance of the Agreement), disseminate, or in any way disclose any Confidential Information of the other party to any person, firm or business, except for any purpose the disclosing party may hereafter authorize in writing. Each party agrees that it will treat all Confidential Information with the same degree of care as it accords to its own Confidential Information, and each party represents that it exercises reasonable care to protect its own Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Confidential Information” shall not include: (i) information previously known to the receiving party without reference to Confidential Information, (ii) information which is or becomes publicly known through no act or omission of the receiving party, (iii) information which has been independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information, (iv) information received from a third party under no confidentiality obligation with respect to the Confidential Information, (v) information required to be disclosed pursuant to administrative or court order, government or regulatory requirement or arbitration or litigation arising out of this Agreement.

3.2. Billing and Payment

(a) Fees. During the term of this Agreement, Client agrees to pay STI the fees associated with use of the Software Services reflected on the Schedule(s). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Schedule(s), fees are nonrefundable.

(b) Taxes. All payments, fees and other charges payable by Client to STI under this Agreement are exclusive of all applicable federal, state, local and foreign taxes, levies and assessments. Client agrees to bear and be responsible for the payment of all such taxes, levies and assessments imposed on Client or STI arising out of this Agreement, excluding any tax based on STI’s net income. If Client is required by any applicable law to deduct or withhold amounts otherwise payable to STI hereunder, Client agrees to pay the required amount to the relevant governmental authority and pay to STI, in addition to the payment to which STI is otherwise entitled under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by STI free and clear of all taxes equals the full amount STI would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.

(c) Invoices. STI shall invoice Client for all amounts due hereunder. If not otherwise specified in the Schedule, Client will make monthly prepayments, and invoices will be issued monthly in advance. Alternatively, Client may set up automatic payment by credit card with the approval of STI.

(d) Delinquencies. All invoices shall be paid within 30 days of their date. In the event that any payment is past due, or if a credit card company refuses for any reason to pay the amount billed to it and that amount remains unpaid thirty (30) days following the billing cycle, Client’s account is delinquent, and STI reserves the right to suspend Client’s access to the Software Services until such amounts are paid in full. Client agrees that, in the case of a suspension of Software Services, STI may impose a charge to restore archived data from delinquent accounts. Unpaid charges (except those charges under reasonable and good faith dispute, provided that any undisputed amount is paid) are subject to interest of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection.

(e) Adjustments. To dispute an invoice, Client must contact STI in writing no later than thirty (30) days after the billing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit.

(f) Pro Rata Amounts. Unless otherwise provided in writing in Client Work Order, fees will be due on a pro rata monthly amount based on the date the logins are provided Client users.

3.3. Term and Termination

(a) Term. This Agreement will be in effect with respect to the Software Services for the period set forth in the Schedule(s), and will renew automatically upon the same terms and conditions, including fees set forth in the Schedule(s), for an additional period equal to the subscription period or one (1) year (whichever is shorter) unless Client or STI requests change or termination thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the initial term set forth in the Schedule(s). After initial term set forth in the Schedule(s), Client must give forty-five (45) days written notice of termination.

(b) Termination. Client or STI may terminate this Agreement for cause: (i) upon 30 days written notice of a material breach to the other party if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of the 30-day period; or (ii) 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. Additionally, any Software Services account which is suspended for more than thirty (30) days due to delinquent payments may be terminated, without notice to Client and without any obligation on the part of STI to maintain, store or return any Client’s data or data residing in Client’s instance of the Software Services.

(c) Effect of Termination on Software Services. If Client terminates this Agreement for cause pursuant to this Section 3.3, STI shall refund to Client the prorated amount of the fees prepaid by Client that were to apply to the remainder of the unexpired term, as calculated from the termination date through the remainder of the unexpired term. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, (i) the license to use the Software Services will terminate, and Client, and any user accessing the Software Services by means of such Client’s account, if applicable, will cease to use or have access to the Product; and (ii) except where such termination is due to delinquent or fraudulent payment, or false or fraudulent submission of contact information, Client may request a copy of the most recent back-up of Client’s data.

Fees may apply to retrieve data from back-ups. STI may, but is not obligated to, delete archived data, but will not do so until thirty (30) days after the termination of this Agreement. Delinquent accounts must be brought to good standing in order to receive data. In the event of a termination by STI for cause, STI shall have no obligation to refund any fees paid by Client, and Client shall pay any remaining fees for the remainder of the subscription term.

(d) Non-exclusivity. The termination of this Agreement for any breach by a party shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for any such breach, and, subject to any other provision of this Agreement limiting liability for a breach, shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy permitted by law.

(e) Survival. Each provision of this Agreement reasonably intended by its terms to survive termination or expiration of this Agreement shall so survive.

3.4. Publicity

Client agrees that STI can disclose the fact that Client is a client of STI.

(b) Client Indemnity. Client shall, at its expense, defend or at its option, settle any claim, action or allegation brought against STI or any of its affiliates or any of the officers, directors managers, employees or agents that arises out of (a) any data or other information supplied by Client to or through the Software Services, or (b) any Client use of the Software Services in violation of this Agreement, or in violation of applicable law.

(f) Injunctions.
