FEES AND PAYMENT

Fees and Payment Terms.
Customer will pay ArmorText the Subscription Fees and any other amounts owing under this Agreement, plus any applicable sales, use, excise, or other taxes, as specified on the applicable Purchase Order. Unless otherwise specified in a Purchase Order, Customer will pay all amounts due within 30 days of the date of the applicable invoice. In the event that Customer’s use of the ArmorText Platform exceeds the number of accounts or other limits specified on the Purchase Order, Customer agrees that it will be responsible for paying for one or more additional tiered fees, as applicable, as set forth on the Purchase Order to cover such additional usage. Any such additional tiered fees will be (a) pro-rated for the remaining days in the then-current subscription year; (b) automatically charged to Customer upon Customer exceeding the stated use limits; and (c) thereafter, will be added to the Subscription Fee for the next payment period. Unless otherwise specified on the Purchase Order, any amount not paid when due will be subject to finance charges equal to 1.5% of the unpaid balance per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable usury law, whichever is less, determined and compounded daily from the date due until the date paid. Customer will reimburse any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by ArmorText to collect any amount that is not paid when due. Amounts due from Customer under this Agreement may not be withheld or offset by Customer against amounts due to Customer for any reason. All amounts payable under this Agreement are denominated in United States dollars, and Customer will pay all such amounts in United States dollars.

Taxes.
Other than net income taxes imposed on ArmorText, Customer will bear all taxes, duties, and other governmental charges (collectively, “taxes”) resulting from this Agreement. Customer will pay any additional taxes as are necessary to ensure that the net amounts received by ArmorText after all such taxes are paid are equal to the amounts that ArmorText would have been entitled to in accordance with this Agreement the taxes did not exist. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all payments by Customer will be made free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. Customer will provide ArmorText with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority or such other evidence as is reasonably requested by ArmorText to establish that such taxes have been paid.

TERM AND TERMINATION

Term.
This Agreement will commence upon the Effective Date and continue for the initial term specified on the Purchase Order. This Agreement will automatically renew one year at a time (at ArmorText’s then-current subscription fee rates) unless a party notifies the other party in writing of its intent to not renew this Agreement at least 90 days before the start of a renewal year.

Termination for Material Breach.
Either party may terminate this Agreement if (a) the other party does not cure its material breach of this Agreement within 30 days of receiving written notice of the material breach from the non-breaching party or (b) the other party ceases its business operations or becomes subject to insolvency proceedings and the proceedings are not dismissed within ninety (90) days. If Customer fails to timely pay any fees, ArmorText may, without limitation to any of its other rights or remedies, suspend Customer’s access to the ArmorText Helm and ArmorText Platform until it receives all amounts due.

Post-Termination Obligations.
If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Customer will pay to ArmorText any fees or other amounts that have accrued prior to the effective date of the termination, any and all liabilities accrued prior to the effective date of the termination will survive, within 10 days of the termination, Customer will provide ArmorText with a written certification signed by an authorized Customer representative certifying that all use of the ArmorText Technology by Customer has been discontinued and that all copies of the ArmorText Client Software, ArmorText Mobile App, and Documentation provided to or otherwise in the possession of Customer have been deleted or destroyed, as applicable, and any Customer Data transmitted through the ArmorText Platform will remain stored in an encrypted form in accordance with Section 11.2 of this Agreement. Except if this Agreement is terminated for Customer’s material breach, ArmorText will assist Customer to facilitate an orderly wind-down or transition of Customer’s use of the ArmorText Platform, including provided Customer with a copy of all Customer Data in a format agreed by the parties.

ARMORTEXT EXERCISES NO CONTROL OVER AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THE RESULTS OF CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE ARMORTEXT CLIENT SOFTWARE, ARMORTEXT MOBILE APP, OR ARMORTEXT PLATFORM.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT

Defense of Infringement Claims.
ArmorText will, at its expense, either defend Customer from or settle any claim, proceeding, or suit (“Claim”) brought by a third party against Customer alleging that Customer’s use of the ArmorText Technology during the term of this Agreement infringes any third party patent or copyright if: (a) Customer gives ArmorText prompt written notice of the Claim; (b) Customer grants ArmorText full and complete control over the defense and settlement of the Claim; (c) Customer provides assistance in connection with the defense and settlement of the Claim as ArmorText may reasonably request; and (d) Customer complies with any settlement or court order made in connection with the Claim (e.g., relating to the future use of any infringing item contained in the ArmorText Client Software). Customer will not defend or settle any Claim without ArmorText’s prior written consent. Customer will have the right to participate in the defense of the Claim at its own expense and with counsel of its own choosing, but ArmorText will have sole control over the defense and settlement of the Claim.

Indemnification of Infringement Claims.
ArmorText will indemnify Customer from and pay all damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees finally awarded against Customer in any Claim under Section 7.1; all out of pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by Customer in connection with the defense of a Claim under Section 7.1 (other than attorneys’ fees and costs incurred without ArmorText’s consent after ArmorText has accepted defense of the Claim); and all amounts that ArmorText agrees to pay to any third party to settle any Claim under Section 7.1.

Exclusions from Obligations.
ArmorText will have no obligation under this Section 7 for any infringement to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon use of the ArmorText Technology in combination with other products or services if such infringement would not have arisen but for such combination; the ArmorText Technology is provided to comply with designs, requirements, or specifications required by or provided by Customer, if the alleged infringement would not have arisen but for the compliance with such designs, requirements, or specifications; (c) use of the ArmorText Technology by Customer for purposes not intended or outside the scope of the license granted to Customer; Customer’s failure to use the ArmorText Technology in accordance with instructions provided by ArmorText, if the infringement would not have occurred but for such failure; or any modification of the ArmorText Technology not made or authorized in writing by ArmorText where such infringement would not have occurred absent such modification.

Mitigation of Infringement Action.
If Customer’s use of the ArmorText Technology is, or in ArmorText’s reasonable opinion is likely to become, enjoined or materially diminished as a result of a proceeding arising under Section 7.1, then ArmorText will either: (a) procure the continuing right of Customer to use the ArmorText Technology; (b) replace or modify the ArmorText Technology in a functionally equivalent manner so that it no longer infringes; or if, despite its commercially reasonable efforts, ArmorText is unable to do either (a) or (b), ArmorText will (c) terminate the licenses with respect to the ArmorText Technology subject to the infringement claim and refund to Customer all unused Subscription Fees pre-paid by Customer.

Limited Remedy.
This Section 7 states ArmorText’s sole and exclusive liability, and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, for the actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation of any third party intellectual property right by the ArmorText Technology.

CUSTOMER INDEMNIFICATION

Defense.
Customer will defend ArmorText from any actual or threatened third party Claim arising out of or based upon Customer’s use of the ArmorText Technology (except to the extent ArmorText is required to defend or indemnify Customer under Section 7 for such Claim) or Customer’s breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement. ArmorText will give Customer prompt written notice of the Claim; grant Customer full and complete control over the defense and settlement of the Claim; provide assistance in connection with the defense and settlement of the Claim as Customer may reasonably request; and comply with any settlement or court order made in connection with the Claim. ArmorText will not defend or settle any Claim without Customer’s prior written consent. ArmorText will have the right to participate in the defense of the Claim at its own expense and with counsel of its own choosing, but Customer will have sole control over the defense and settlement of the Claim .

Indemnification.
Customer will indemnify ArmorText from and pay all damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees finally awarded against ArmorText in any Claim under Section 8.1; all out of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by ArmorText in connection with the defense of a Claim under Section 8.1 (other than attorneys’ fees and costs incurred without Customer’s consent after Customer has accepted defense of the Claim); and, all amounts that Customer agrees to pay to any third party to settle any Claim under Section 8.1.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

Disclaimer of Indirect Damages.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO PARTY WILL, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, EVEN IF THE PARTY IS APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING.

Cap on Liability.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ARMORTEXT’S TOTAL LIABILITY OF ALL KINDS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTY CLAIMS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY ACTION OR CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER TO ARMORTEXT DURING THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

Independent Allocations of Risk.
EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS OF THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICING OFFERED BY ARMORTEXT TO CUSTOMER AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9 WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY IN THIS AGREEMENT.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Definition.
“Confidential Information” means any trade secrets or other information of a party, whether of a technical, business, or other nature (including information relating to a party’s technology, software, products, services, designs, methodologies, business plans, finances, marketing plans, customers, prospects, or other affairs), that is disclosed to a party during the term of this Agreement and that such party knows or has reason to know is confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information of the disclosing party. The parties agree that all Customer Data is the Confidential Information of Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include any information that: was known to the receiving party prior to receiving the same from the disclosing party in connection with this Agreement; is independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to the Confidential Information of the disclosing party; is acquired by the receiving party from another source without restriction as to use or disclosure; or is or becomes part of the public domain through no fault or action of the receiving party.

Restricted Use and Nondisclosure.
During and after the term of this Agreement, each party will: use the other party’s Confidential Information solely for the purpose for which it is provided; not disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to a third party unless the third party must access the Confidential Information to perform in accordance with this Agreement and the third party has executed a written agreement that contains terms that are substantially similar to the terms contained in this Section 10; and maintain the secrecy of, and protect from unauthorized use and disclosure, the other party’s Confidential Information to the same extent (but using no less than a reasonable degree of care) that it protects its own Confidential Information of a similar nature.

Required Disclosure.
If the receiving party is required by law or by court order to disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information or the terms of this Agreement, the receiving party must (a) give prompt written notice of such requirement before such disclosure (to the extent practicable); (b) assist the disclosing party, at the disclosing party’s expense, in obtaining an order protecting the Confidential Information from public disclosure; and (c) disclose only to the extent legally required.

Return of Materials.
Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, or upon earlier request, each party will deliver to the other all Confidential Information that they may have in its possession or control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party will be required to return materials that it must retain in order to receive the benefits of this Agreement or properly perform in accordance with this Agreement.

DATA

Collection of Platform Use Data.
Customer agrees and acknowledges that the ArmorText Platform automatically logs all user activity conducted on the ArmorText Platform, and ArmorText owns all right, title and interest in and to the Platform Use Data. ArmorText will not publicly disclose any Platform Use Data in a manner that would reasonably likely identify Customer as being the source of such Platform Use Data.

Customer Data.
Customer owns all right, title and interest in and to the Customer Data. Customer hereby grants ArmorText a nonexclusive, royalty-free, transferrable, worldwide license (with right to sublicense) to store, process, and otherwise use the Customer Data during the term of this Agreement (and for a reasonable amount of time after the term) in connection with the provision of the ArmorText Platform or as otherwise necessary or helpful to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that all Customer Data will be transmitted, stored, and processed by ArmorText in an encrypted state and that ArmorText will not have access to any keys necessary to decrypt the Customer Data.

GENERAL

Relationship.
ArmorText will be and act as an independent contractor of Customer (and not as the agent, representative, partner or joint venturer of Customer) in the performance of this Agreement.

Assignability.
Neither party may assign its right, duties, and obligations under this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that ArmorText may assign this Agreement without the Customer’s consent to a successor (including a successor by way of merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or operation of law) if the successor agrees to assume and fulfill all of ArmorText’s obligations under this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 12.2, the term “assignment” is deemed to include any direct or indirect transfer of this Agreement to another entity by way of merger, reorganization, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of a party’s assets or equity securities in one transaction or a series of related transactions.

Subcontractors.
ArmorText may utilize a subcontractor or other third party to perform its duties under this Agreement so long as ArmorText remains responsible for all of its obligations under this Agreement and liable to Customer under this Agreement for the acts or omissions of its subcontractors as if they were committed by ArmorText.

Reference.
Subject to Section 10 regarding confidentiality, Customer will permit ArmorText to issue and publish a press release containing a quotation from a representative of Customer announcing that Customer has subscribed to use the ArmorText Platform and the general context of the intended use. In addition, Customer hereby consents to ArmorText’s display of Customer’s logo on ArmorText’s web site where ArmorText displays the names and logos of its customers.

Notices.
Any notice required or permitted to be given in accordance with this Agreement will be effective if it is in writing and sent by certified or registered mail, or insured courier, return receipt requested, to the appropriate party at the address set forth on the Purchase Order and with the appropriate postage affixed. Either party may change its address for receipt of notice by notice to the other party in accordance with this Section 12.5. Notices are deemed given two business days following the date of mailing or one business day following delivery to a courier.

Force Majeure.
Neither party will be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under this Agreement on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by this Agreement as a result of any cause or condition beyond its reasonable control, so long as that party uses all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove the causes of non-performance.

Governing Law.
This Agreement will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the local laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, U.S.A., without reference to its choice of law rules and not including the provisions of the 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Each party hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal, state, and local courts in Fairfax County, Virginia in connection with any action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

Waiver.
The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement does not waive any other breach. The failure of any party to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with this Agreement will not be a waiver of such party’s right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a novation of this Agreement.

Severability.
If any part of this Agreement is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the remaining portions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If any material limitation or restriction on the use of the ArmorText Platform under this Agreement is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, Customer’s right to use the ArmorText Platform will immediately terminate.

Interpretation.
The parties have had an equal opportunity to participate in the drafting of this Agreement and the attached exhibits. No ambiguity will be construed against any party based upon a claim that that party drafted the ambiguous language. The headings appearing at the beginning of several sections contained in this Agreement have been inserted for identification and reference purposes only and must not be used to construe or interpret this Agreement. Whenever required by context, a singular number will include the plural, the plural number will include the singular, and the gender of any pronoun will include all genders. Any reference to any agreement, document or instrument will mean such agreement, document or instrument as amended or modified and in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Whenever the words “hereunder,” “hereof,” “hereto,” and words of similar import are used in this Agreement, they will be deemed references to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other provision hereof. The word “or” is used in the inclusive sense of “and/or.” The terms “or,” “any” and “either” are not exclusive.

Survival.
The following provisions of this Agreement will survive any expiration or earlier termination hereof: Sections 3.8, 3.9, 3.12, 4, 5.3, 6.2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.

Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, including the Purchase Order, is the final and complete expression of the agreement between these parties regarding Customer’s use of the ArmorText Technology. This Agreement supersedes, and the terms of this Agreement govern, all previous oral and written communications regarding these matters, all of which are merged into this Agreement, except that this Agreement does not supersede any prior nondisclosure or comparable agreement between the parties executed prior to this Agreement being executed. No employee, agent, or other representative of ArmorText has any authority to bind ArmorText with respect to any statement, representation, warranty, or other expression unless the same is specifically set forth in this Agreement. No usage of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing between the parties will be used to modify, interpret, supplement, or alter the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement may be changed only by a written agreement signed by an authorized representative of each party. Neither party will be bound by, and specifically objects to, any term, condition, or other provision that is different from or in addition to this Agreement (whether or not it would materially alter this Agreement) that is proffered by the other party in any receipt, acceptance, confirmation, correspondence, or otherwise, unless the former party specifically agrees to such provision in a writing signed by an authorized representative of the former party.
