Upon expiration of the initial term, and any renewal term, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed on a year-to-year basis on the same terms as shown in this Agreement at Provider’s then-current pricing, unless Customer notifies Provider in writing at least ninety (90) days prior to the scheduled renewal date of its intention not to renew. Provider will invoice Customer for the Fees at the time of execution of this Agreement, at each scheduled renewal, and upon any future Subscription order. Any and all payments made by Customer pursuant to this Agreement are non-refundable. Customer will make payment upon acceptance of each initial Subscription order and within thirty (30) days of the date of each subsequent invoice.

If Customer fails to pay an invoice when due, Provider will issue a notice of late payment, and Customer will be charged a late fee of five percent (5%) of the outstanding past-due balance or the highest amount permitted by applicable law, if less. Failure to pay an invoice and any accumulated late fees for 90 days or longer may result in the cancellation of the Customer’s access to the Provider Applications and Subscription Services. A fee of $100 will be charged for any returned check or other failure of payment tender.
All Fees are exclusive of any Taxes. Customer will pay to Provider an amount equal to any Taxes arising from or relating to this Agreement which are paid by or are payable by Provider. “Taxes” means any form of taxation, levy, duty, customs fee, charge, contribution or impost of whatever nature and by whatever authority imposed (including without limitation any fine, penalty, surcharge or interest, excluding any taxes or franchise fees based solely on the net U.S. income of Provider.

Licensing Rules. Customer may authorize Users to access Provider Applications and Subscription Services through the Customer’s account, provided that any such Users shall be bound to these Terms of Service. Customer shall bear responsibility for the compliance of Users with these Terms of Service and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Provider from any damages, injuries, or other claims against Provider caused by User’s use of Provider Applications or Subscription Services.

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION, ALL SOFTWARE AND SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER IS PROVIDED “AS IS.” THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN, ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. PROVIDER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION THEREOF WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED.
IN NO EVENT SHALL PROVIDER BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY OR END USER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR CONTINGENT DAMAGES INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, OR ANY AMOUNTS THAT IN THE AGGREGATE EXCEED THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID TO PROVIDER BY CUSTOMER (THE FOREGOING BEING COLLECTIVELY CALLED “DAMAGES”) INCURRED BY CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY. SUCH LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY WHETHER IN AN ACTION BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER SUCH THEORY, EVEN IF PROVIDER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless Customer and its officers, employees, agents and representatives and defend any action brought against same with respect to any third-party claim, demand or cause of action, including reasonable attorney’s fees, to the extent that it is based upon a claim that the Provider Applications infringe or violate any United States patents, copyrights, trade secrets, or other proprietary rights of a third party. Customer may, at its own expense, assist in such defense if it so chooses, provided that Provider shall control such defense and all negotiations relating to the settlement of any such claim. Customer shall promptly provide Provider with written notice of any claim which Customer believes falls within the scope of this Section 11. In the event that the Provider Applications or any portion thereof is held to constitute an infringement and its use is enjoined, Provider may, at its sole option and expense, (a) modify the infringing Provider Applications so that it is non-infringing, (b) procure for Customer the right to continue to use the infringing Provider Applications, or (c) replace said Provider Applications with suitable, non-infringing software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider will have no obligation for any claims to the extent such claims result from (i) modifications or alterations of the Provider Applications made by or for Customer or any other party that were not provided by Provider or authorized by Provider in writing; (ii) use outside the scope of the license granted hereunder, (iii) use of a superseded or previous version of the Provider Applications if infringement would have been avoided by the use of a newer version which Provider made available to Customer, or (iv) use of the Provider Applications in combination with any other software, hardware, data, or materials not supplied by Provider. This indemnity obligation is subject to the limitation of liability and the other pertinent terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Support and Maintenance Terms. The Subscription affords the Customer and Users access to the Provider’s customer support services via the contact channels specified in the confirmation of the Customer’s order. The Provider will make all commercially reasonable and practicable efforts to resolve Customer and User support issues but does not guarantee a specific time.

During the term of this Agreement, Customer and Provider may engage in co-marketing and publicity programs, including advertisements in trade and other publications, upon written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Provider may also use Customer’s name and logo as a reference, on Provider’s website, and in marketing materials. Customer agrees to serve as a “reference” for Provider which means that Customer may be called from time-to-time to serve as a reference to other prospective customers, current or potential investors, the press, and financial and technology analysts, as mutually agreed to by both parties. If requested by Provider, Customer further agrees to cooperate with Provider within one (1) year following the effective date of this Agreement to produce and publish a public or non-public (at Customer’s discretion), “case study” of Customer’s usage of Provider’s products.
S. Government Customers and End Users. Any Provider Applications or related materials are “commercial items” as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. § 2.101 consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212.

Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement or any right or obligation hereunder, without the other party’s prior written consent. However, Provider may assign this Agreement in the event of a merger or consolidation or the purchase of all or substantially all of its assets. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of each party.

Customer and its Users release and waive all claims against Provider, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliated companies, agents or content providers, and the directors, trustees, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and representatives of each of the foregoing (the “Provider Group” for the purposes of this Section 20), from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of Customer or User’s use of the Provider Applications and Subscription Services. California residents waive any rights they may have under § 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” Customer and its Users agree to release unknown claims and waive all available rights under California Civil Code § 1542 or under any other statute or common law principle of similar effect. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this release covers all such claims regardless of the negligence of the Provider Group.

The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. Customer hereby irrevocably consents to jurisdiction of both the state or federal courts located in Oklahoma. In the event the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) or any similar federal or state laws or regulations are enacted, it will not apply to this Agreement, and the governing law will remain as if such law or regulation had not been enacted.
