Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, VetMedux, in its sole discretion, may temporarily suspend Customer’s or any Authorized User’s access to the Subscription if: (a) VetMedux determines, in its sole discretion, that (i) there is a threat to the integrity, accessibility, security or other attack on any of the VetMedux Software; (ii) Customer’s or any Authorized User’s use of the Subscription or any portion thereof violates the terms of the Agreement or otherwise disrupts or poses a security risk to the VetMedux Software (or to any other customer or vendor of VetMedux); (iii) Customer or any Authorized User is using the Subscription for fraudulent or illegal activities; (iv) Customer undergoes Bankruptcy (as defined in Section 6.3); or (v) provision of the Subscription to any Authorized User is prohibited by applicable law; or (b) any vendor of VetMedux has suspended or terminated access to or use of any Third Party Products or other services or products required to enable Customer to access the Subscription (any such suspension described in subclause (a) or (b), a “Service Suspension”). So long as Customer maintains an up to date contact email with VetMedux, VetMedux will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice of any Subscription Suspension to Customer and to provide updates regarding resumption of access following any Subscription Suspension. VetMedux will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume providing access as soon as reasonably possible after the event giving rise to the Subscription Suspension is cured by Customer. VetMedux will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of profits), or any other consequences that Customer or any other Authorized User may incur because of a Subscription Suspension. VetMedux’s right to implement a Subscription Suspension does not limit or restrict its other rights in the Agreement, including any termination rights.
3.9. User Complaints. If Customer receives any notice claiming that any VetMedux Content infringes or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property Right or other third-party right, Customer will: (a) promptly notify VetMedux in writing (which may include email), including such detail as is available and necessary for VetMedux to evaluate and address such complaint; and (b) reasonably cooperate with VetMedux in addressing such claims. Additionally, if VetMedux instructs Customer to stop using, delete or make inaccessible any VetMedux Content for any good faith reason (including because such content may contain errors, is or could be subject to a third-party claim, etc.), Customer will promptly (but in any event within 48 hours) comply with such instruction.
4. Fees; Payment
4.1. Fees. Customer shall pay the Fees for the Subscription as set forth on the applicable Order Form (“Fees”).
4.2. Payment. Customer will pay all Fees within thirty (30) days from the invoice date without offset or deduction. Customer will make all payments in US dollars on or before the due date. If Customer fails to make any payment when due, without limiting any other rights and remedies: (a) VetMedux may charge interest on the past due amount at the rate of 1.5% per month calculated daily and compounded monthly or, if lower, the highest rate permitted under applicable law; (b) Customer will reimburse VetMedux for all reasonable costs incurred by VetMedux in collecting any late payments or interest, including attorneys’ fees, court costs, and collection agency fees; and (c) if such failure continues for thirty (30) days or more, VetMedux may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Agreement or suspend Customer’s and all other Authorized Users’ and Authorized Users’ access to any portion or all of the VetMedux Content until such amounts are paid in full. No refunds will be paid by VetMedux under any circumstances.
4.3. Taxes. All Fees and other amounts payable by Customer under the Agreement are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on VetMedux’s income. No refunds will be paid by VetMedux under any circumstances and Customer will be responsible for the Fees, including future installment payments, owed for the term of the Agreement.
4.4. Fee Disputes. If there is any dispute as to the amount of Fees as set forth on an invoice, Customer shall pay the undisputed amount in full pending the resolution of any dispute and, upon resolution, Customer shall (if necessary) pay any adjustment due within thirty (30) days. Customer agrees to pay all amounts due in full and Customer shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against VetMedux in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part.
5. Intellectual Property Rights
5.1. Ownership; License. VetMedux or its licensors will remain the owners of all VetMedux IP. Except as expressly permitted by the Agreement, the Customer may not use any VetMedux IP (including any VetMedux Content) without VetMedux’s prior written consent.
5.2. Feedback. If Customer or any of its Authorized Users, employees, contractors or agents sends or transmits any communications or materials to VetMedux by mail, email, telephone or otherwise, suggesting or recommending changes or improvements to the Subscription, including without limitation, new features or functionality relating thereto, or any comments, questions, suggestions, or the like (“Feedback”), VetMedux is free to use such Feedback (including any Developments reflected therein) without limitation, compensation or attribution, irrespective of any other obligation or limitation between Customer and VetMedux governing such Feedback. All Feedback is and will be treated as non-confidential. Customer hereby agrees to assign to VetMedux at any time, and will cause its employees, contractors, and agents to assign, all right, title, and interest in Feedback. VetMedux shall have no obligation or requirement to use any Feedback.
5.3. Customer Data. As between VetMedux and Customer, Customer shall own all right, title and interest in and to the Customer Data. Customer hereby grants to VetMedux a non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license to reproduce, distribute, and otherwise use and display the Customer Data and perform all acts with respect to the Customer Data as permitted under the Agreement or as otherwise may be necessary for VetMedux to provide the Subscription to Customer. Customer is solely responsible for the development, content, operation, maintenance, accuracy, and use of Customer Data. VetMedux shall have no liability to Customer for any Subscription errors relating to Customer Data. You acknowledge and agree that VetMedux does not have any obligation to serve as a record keeper for or to otherwise maintain, store or make available to Customer any Customer Data (including any notes or annotations you make using the VetMedux Software), during your Subscription term or otherwise. You shall have sole responsibility for making copies or backups of all Customer Data, and VetMedux shall not have, and expressly disclaims any and all liability for loss, destruction, deletion or unavailability of any Customer Data.
5.4. Aggregated Statistics. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, VetMedux may monitor Customer’s (including Authorized Users’) use of the Subscription and collect and compile data and information derived from, based on or otherwise related to Customer Data and Customer’s use of the Subscription, including statistical and performance information related to the provision and operation of the Subscription (“Statistics“). As between VetMedux and Customer, all right, title, and interest in Statistics, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, belong to and are retained solely by VetMedux. Customer agrees that VetMedux may use Statistics for any purpose permitted under applicable law, provided that if VetMedux publishes Statistics or makes Statistics available to any third party (other than Customer’s service providers), then such Statistics will be aggregated and anonymized in manner that does not identify Customer or its Authorized Users. Customer hereby grants to VetMedux a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to reproduce, distribute, modify, and otherwise use and display Customer Data to the extent incorporated within the Statistics.
5.5. Reservation of Rights. VetMedux reserves all rights not expressly granted to Customer in the Agreement. Except for the limited rights and licenses expressly granted under the Agreement, nothing in the Agreement grants, by implication, waiver, estoppel, or otherwise, to Customer or any third party any Intellectual Property Rights or other right, title, or interest in or to the VetMedux IP.
6. Term and Termination
6.1. Term. The term of the Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues for a period of twelve (12) months or until terminated in compliance with this Section 6. Subscriptions will automatically renew at the end of the Term, at the then-current price set forth on VetMedux’s pricing sheet, located at http://plumbs.com/pricing/; provided, however, that student Subscriptions will not be subject to auto-renewal. Customer may elect to opt out of auto-renewal at any time by changing the appropriate setting in Customer’s account profile under the “Subscription Details” tab. VetMedux will provide notice of auto-renewal at least fourteen (14) days prior to the end of the then-current Term.
6.2. Termination for Cause. Either Party may terminate the Agreement, effective upon written notice to the other Party, if the other Party materially breaches the Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of written notice of such breach or, immediately, if such material breach is incapable of cure. VetMedux, in its sole discretion, will determine if any use is in violation of the restrictions set forth in the Agreement and, subject to the terms of the Agreement, reserves the right to terminate or suspend Customer’s and any Authorized User’s access to all or any portion of the Subscription.
6.3. Termination for Bankruptcy. Either Party may terminate the Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice to the other Party, if the other Party: (a) becomes insolvent or is generally unable to pay, or fails to pay, its debts as they become due; (b) files or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or otherwise becomes subject, voluntarily or involuntarily, to any proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency law; (c) makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (d) applies for or has appointed a receiver, trustee, custodian, or similar agent appointed by order of any court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of or sell any material portion of its property or business (collectively, “Bankruptcy”).
6.4. Effect of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason, Customer shall (and shall ensure that all Authorized Users) (a) immediately cease all use of the Subscription and (b) cease use of and permanently destroy (including deleting electronic media) all VetMedux Content accessed through use of the Subscription. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason, Customer shall promptly pay to VetMedux all outstanding Fees and Customer shall not be entitled to any refund of any prepaid Fees for the Subscription. Within thirty (30) days of VetMedux’s request, an officer of Customer shall certify in writing that it has ceased all use of and permanently destroyed all VetMedux Content.
6.5. Survival. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason, Sections 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 14 and any other provisions of these Terms which by their nature survive termination or expiration shall so survive.
7. Confidentiality
7.1. Confidential Information. From time to time during the Term, VetMedux and Customer may disclose or make available to the other Party information about its business affairs and products that are designated or otherwise identified as “confidential” at the time of disclosure or that a reasonable party would understand to be confidential (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is or becomes in the public domain through no fault of the receiving Party; (b) is already known to the receiving Party at the time of disclosure; (c) after disclosure, is rightfully obtained by the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third party; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving Party without access or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. A receiving Party may only use the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder. The receiving Party will not disclose the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the receiving Party’s employees, agents, or subcontractors who have a need to know the Confidential Information for the receiving Party to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder and who are required to protect the Confidential Information in a manner no less stringent than required under the Agreement. Each Party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the date such Confidential Information is first disclosed to the receiving Party and will expire five (5) years after the Agreement expires or is otherwise terminated; provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.
7.2. No Adequate Remedy. VetMedux and Customer agree that the unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information is a material breach of the Agreement that may result in irreparable harm to the Party whose Confidential Information has been improperly disclosed. In those cases, payment of money damages is inadequate and difficult to ascertain. The Parties agree, therefore, that the injured Party may, at its sole option, seek immediate injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any further such breach, and the Parties consent to the entry of judgment for injunctive relief.
7.3. Compelled Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required (a) to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order will (i) first have given written notice to the other party to afford the other Party time to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, (ii) assists the other Party in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy, and (iii) to the extent the other Party cannot obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy, only discloses the portion of Confidential Information that, in the opinion of counsel, is required to comply with the order; or (b) to establish a Party’s rights under the Agreement, including to make required court filings, provided in either case, the Party making the disclosure uses commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the confidential treatment of any information so disclosed.
8. Privacy and Data Processing.
8.1. Privacy Policy. VetMedux’s privacy policy, available at https://plumbs.com/privacy-policy/ (“Privacy Policy”), outlines the ways VetMedux collects and uses information in connection with providing the Subscription. The Privacy Policy is subject to change as described therein. By accessing, using, and providing information to or through the Subscription, Customer acknowledges it has reviewed and accepted the Privacy Policy and consents to all actions taken by VetMedux with respect to Customer’s information in compliance with the then-current version of the Privacy Policy.
9. Representations and Warranties
9.1. Mutual Representations and Warranties. Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that: (a) it is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing as a corporation or other entity as represented herein under the laws and regulations of its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization, or chartering; (b) it has the full right, power, and authority to enter into the Agreement, to grant the rights and licenses granted hereunder, and to perform its obligations hereunder; (c) the execution of the Agreement by its representative has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Party; and (d) when executed and delivered by such Party, the Agreement will constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance therewith.
9.2. By Customer. Customer represents and warrants that it owns all right, title and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Customer Data, and has acquired all necessary consents to provide the Customer Data to VetMedux and to permit VetMedux to use the Customer Data in accordance the Agreement.
9.3. Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN SECTION 9 OF THESE TERMS, THE SUBSCRIPTION (INCLUDING ALL VET MEDUX CONTENT) IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, AND VET MEDUX MAKES NO WARRANTIES, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT, THE SUBSCRIPTION, THE VET MEDUX SOFTWARE, AND THE VET MEDUX CONTENT. WITHOUT LIMITATION, VET MEDUX DISCLAIMS (a) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; (b) ANY WARRANTIES THAT THE SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE CONTINUOUS, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; (c) ANY WARRANTIES AS TO THE RESULTS TO BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SUBSCRIPTION AND (d) ANY OTHER WARRANTIES RELATING TO THE SUBSCRIPTION, VET MEDUX SOFTWARE, AND VET MEDUX CONTENT THAT MAY ARISE FROM TRADE, USAGE, PERFORMANCE OR CUSTOM.
10. Indemnification
10.1. By VetMedux. VetMedux will defend Customer, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents (“Customer Indemnified Parties”) against any claim, suit or proceeding (each, a “Claim”) and indemnify and hold harmless Customer Indemnified Parties against all third party losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Losses”) arising out of or resulting from a Claim, but only to the extent the Claim arises out of or relates to an allegation that the Subscription, VetMedux Content or Customer’s use thereof solely in compliance with the Agreement, infringes a U.S. Intellectual Property Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, VetMedux shall have no obligation to indemnify under this Section 10.1 to the extent the basis of any Claim is (a) Customer’s unauthorized use of the Subscription or VetMedux Content; (b) Customer’s modification of the Subscription or VetMedux Content; (c) combination of the Subscription or VetMedux Content with any hardware, software, data or other materials not provided by VetMedux; or (d) Customer Data.
10.2. By Customer. Customer will defend VetMedux, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents (“VetMedux Indemnified Parties”) against any Claim and indemnify and hold harmless VetMedux Indemnified Parties against all Losses arising out of or resulting from any Claims, but only to the extent the Claim arising out of or relates to (a) Customer’s (including Authorized Users’) use of the Subscription and VetMedux Content; (b) Customer Data; (c) Customer’s breach of the Agreement; or (d) Customer’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or violations of laws.
10.3. Indemnification Procedure. The indemnified Party will promptly notify the indemnifying Party in writing of any Claim and cooperate with the indemnifying Party (at the indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense). The indemnifying Party will immediately take control of the defense and investigation of such Claim and will employ counsel approved by the indemnified Party (such approval not to be unreasonably denied) to handle and defend the same, at the indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense. The indemnified Party’s failure to perform any obligations under this Section 10.3 will not relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 10, except to the extent that the indemnifying party can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced because of such failure. The indemnified Party may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense. The indemnified Party must obtain the indemnified Party’s prior written consent to any settlement that does not include a full release of liability or includes obligations on the indemnified Party (other than the payment of sums that are subject to the indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder).
11. Limitation on Liability
11.1. Disclaimer. VET MEDUX WILL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, LIQUIDATED, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR PENALTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSSES OF BUSINESS, REVENUE, OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGE WAS FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER VET MEDUX HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, VET MEDUX WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR CLAIMS OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO (a) THE CORRUPTION, UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR ERASURE OF DATA TRANSMITTED OR RECEIVED OR STORED ON ITS SYSTEMS OR NETWORKS; (b) THE LOSS OF DATA OR INABILITY TO ACCESS THE SUBSCRIPTION DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES NOT IN THE DIRECT CONTROL OF VET MEDUX, INCLUDING, SUPPLIER PROBLEMS, TELECOMMUNICATIONS FAILURES OR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER LIMITATIONS; OR (c) ERRORS, DEFECTS OR NON-CONFORMITIES IN THE SUBSCRIPTION CAUSED BY NETWORKS, COMPUTERS, SOFTWARE, TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT OR OTHER DEVICES OUTSIDE OF VET MEDUX’S CONTROL.
11.2. Liability Cap. VET MEDUX’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE BY VET MEDUX BY CUSTOMER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE EVENTS GIVING RISE TO SUCH CLAIMS.
12. Export Control
12.1. The Subscription utilizes software and technology that may be subject to US export control laws, including the US Export Administration Act and its associated regulations. You will not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Subscription or the software or technology included in the Subscription to, or make the Subscription or the software or technology included in the Subscription accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by law, regulation, or rule. You will comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing, or otherwise making the Subscription or the software or technology included in the Subscription available outside the US.
