(b) To register for use of an Application as an Authorized User, you will need to provide an email address (or other unique identifier if permitted by Newforma) and create a password.  The Credentials are used by Newforma to authenticate and monitor your use and access of the Application on any applicable Device and your account on the Site, if applicable, and may also be used by Newforma to perform its support and training obligations under the Agreement.  Customer and its Authorized User are responsible for all access granted to, and uses of, the Application or the Site by users that have logged in using such Authorized User’s Credentials, including, without limitation, use by others to whom you may have given such Authorized User’s Credentials.  Customer and its Authorized User shall be responsible for maintaining and protecting such Authorized User’s Credentials and the Content.  Customer and its Authorized User are solely responsible for any activity of users logged into such Authorized User’s account, whether or not such activity was authorized.

2.2 Ownership. You acknowledge that (a) all right, title and interest in, and to, the Services, the Applications, the Site and the Documentation, and all patents, copyrights, trade secret rights, trademarks, trade names, services marks and other proprietary rights embodied therein, or associated therewith, are those of, and shall remain with, Newforma and/or its third party licensors, if applicable; (b) this Agreement conveys no right, or interest, in the Services, the Applications, the Site or the Documentation other than a limited right to use the same in accordance with the Agreement; (c) the Services, the Applications, the Site and the Documentation are protected by the copyright laws of the United States and international treaties; and (d) Newforma asserts that the Services, the Applications, the Site and the Documentation embody valuable confidential and secret information of Newforma, the development of which required the expenditure of considerable time and money.

(b) You represent and warrant that (i) you are the owner, or legal custodian, of all of your Content and have the full authority to transmit and store your Content using a Service; and (ii) you will not upload, record, publish, post, link to, or otherwise transmit or distribute Content that: (A) advocates, promotes, incites, instructs, informs, assists, or otherwise encourages, violence or any illegal activities; (B) infringes, or violates, the copyright, patent, trademark, service mark, trade name, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights of any third party or Newforma, or any rights of publicity or privacy of any party; (C) attempts to mislead others about your identity or the origin of a message or other communication, or impersonates or otherwise misrepresents your affiliation with any other person or entity, or is otherwise materially false, misleading, or inaccurate; (D) promotes, solicits or comprises inappropriate, harassing, abusive, profane, hateful, defamatory, libelous, threatening, obscene, indecent, vulgar, pornographic or otherwise objectionable or unlawful content or activity; (E) is harmful to minors; (F) contains any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, or any other similar software, data, or programs that may damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept, or expropriate any system, data, personal information, or property of another; or (G) violates any law, statute, ordinance, or regulation (including, without limitation, the laws and regulations governing export control, unfair competition, anti-discrimination, or false advertising).

(c) Customer and each Authorized User acknowledges that other Authorized Users may have access to your Content, and you acknowledge the risks in allowing other Authorized Users access to your Content, including the risk that (i) your Content is deleted, modified, corrupted or destroyed by other Authorized Users within a Service; (ii) that files containing your Content are contaminated by viruses or other malware introduced by other Authorized Users; (iii) that confidential information in such Content is made available to other Authorized Users; and (iv) that such Content could be subsequently disclosed or otherwise made available to third parties by other Authorized Users under circumstances where the confidentiality of such Content is not protected.  Newforma shall not be responsible for the deletion, modification, corruption, destruction or loss of your Content resulting from any action or inaction of Customer or any other Authorized User.

(d) Customer and each Authorized User acknowledges that the Services are automated (e.g., Content is uploaded and submitted using software tools) and that Newforma personnel may access any Content to provide the Services, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) during any service interruption, as necessary to restore the applicable Content; (ii) to troubleshoot any issue with the Services or to help improve the Services; or (iii) as deemed necessary or advisable by Newforma to ensure compliance with this Agreement or to conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process.

(d)  Customer and its Authorized Users shall cooperate with any security measures that are provided by Newforma as a part of a Service.  Since Newforma’s sole intent in implementing such measures will be to prevent the unauthorized use, duplication and/or transfer of the Service, as the case may be, under no circumstances will Newforma employ any such measure to interfere with Customer’s normal and permitted operation of the Service.

 

2.6 Suspension, Limitation or Termination. (a) Newforma shall be entitled in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, without liability to you, to suspend, terminate or limit your access to, or use of, the Services or any portion thereof at any time if you breach any term of the Agreement.

2.7 Third Party Software.  A Service may utilize Third Party Software. As used herein, “Third Party Software” means third party computer programs to which you are provided electronic access in connection with the use of a Service.  Your use of Third Party Software in connection with any Service shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and any other terms and conditions placed on the use of the Third Party Software by its licensor.  Customer and its Authorized Users may not use any Third Party Software contained in, or provided with, a Service separately from Customer’s use of such Service.

2.8 Consulting Services.  (a)  With respect to a Service, Newforma will provide Customer with the same basic level of implementation, deployment, configuration and/or training services, as the case may be, that Newforma provides to its customers generally for such Service and as indicated in the applicable Order Form either directly by Newforma or one of its authorized service business partners.  Any additional Consulting Services (e.g., training, configuration, consulting, etc.) that are desired during the Subscription Term will be set forth in a mutually agreed upon statement of work.  Customer shall provide Newforma with all information, access and cooperation reasonably necessary to facilitate the provision of the Consulting Services.  Customer acknowledges and agrees that, unless otherwise specified on the Order Form, any Consulting Services ordered but not performed (other than as a result of Newforma’s breach of the Agreement) within twelve (12) months of ordering such Consulting Services will be forfeited by Customer and that Newforma may, at its option and in its sole discretion, perform such Consulting Services after such twelve (12) month period.

(d)  Support is available Monday through Friday from 8AM to 5PM Customer’s local time (excluding holidays).  Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, support for a Service does not include support for any Consulting Services.  Support may be provided on behalf of Newforma by one of its authorized business partners.  In no event will Newforma be obligated to provide support to outdated versions of an Application or with respect to problems resulting from errors caused by the infrastructure, network or other software or hardware with which the Service is used.

2.10 Newforma® Project Center Specific Terms.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Terms and Conditions, Customer agrees to the following terms with respect to an Order for Newforma® Project Center:

(d)  If such Application is installed on the premises of Customer or a third party as designated by Customer, then Customer may make a reasonable number of copies of such Application for archival and back-up purposes only, and only to the extent as permitted by applicable law, provided that Customer includes on each copy all copyright or other proprietary notices contained on such Application.

(e)  If such Application is installed on the premises of Customer or a third party as designated by Customer, then in no event will Newforma be obligated to provide support to outdated versions of an Application or with respect to problems resulting from (i) the combination, operation or use of such Application with equipment, software or data not supplied, or expressly approved in writing, by Newforma; (ii) a modification of such Application that is not done, or expressly authorized in writing by, Newforma; or (iii) errors caused by the infrastructure, network or other software or hardware with which such Application is used.

(g)  If such Application is installed on the premises of Customer or a third party as designated by Customer, then, for the avoidance of doubt, Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Customer is responsible for conducting regular back-ups of the Newforma MySQL data tables and database; (ii) Customer modification(s) to the Newforma MySQL data tables and database are not supported by Newforma; (iii) extreme care must be exercised with SQL queries or any other tool capable of modifying the Newforma MySQL data tables and database and such modification may result in unrecoverable data damage; (iv) any assistance required by Newforma to address issues caused by Customer tampering or modifying the Newforma MySQL data table or database will be charged back to the Customer at Newforma’s then current hourly Consulting Services rates and full repair/recovery of data under these circumstances is not guaranteed; and (v) Customer must consult with Newforma in advance of undertaking any such activities to help ensure that data integrity is protected.

(h)  Customer acknowledges and agrees that the specific system requirements and specifications for such Application are described at www.newforma.com.  Such requirements and specifications are hereby incorporated into these Terms and Conditions by reference.  Customer is responsible for ordering and commissioning any required dedicated hardware and/or virtual machines to meet the minimum requirements and specifications published by Newforma prior to scheduling an agreed upon deployment date with Newforma or Newforma’s authorized services business partner, as the case may be.  Customer is also responsible for providing any required operating systems and licenses, SSL certificate(s), supporting application software and information technology infrastructure necessary to meet such requirements and specifications.

3. FEES, BILLING AND PAYMENT.

3.1 Fees.  Customer agrees to pay Newforma the fees for Services and/or Consulting Services as set forth in an Order Form and any applicable statement of work, as the case may be.  Fees and prices applicable for annual or other periodic renewals of a Subscription Term shall be at Newforma’s then current list price, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Newforma in its sole discretion.

3.2  Billing and Payment.  Unless otherwise provided in an Order Form or a statement of work, as the case may be, Customer shall pay each invoice within thirty (30) days after the date of such invoice.  Fees for Services and Consulting Services shall be invoiced on the estimated date(s) set forth in an Order Form or a statement of work, as the case may be, or as otherwise mutually agreed by Newforma and Customer.  All amounts not paid when due will bear interest at the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law.  Fees shall be invoiced, and shall be payable, in the currency set forth in the Order Form or statement of work, as the case may be, or as otherwise permitted by Newforma in its sole discretion.  Customer shall provide its accounts payable contact information in an Order Form or by such other means as reasonably requested by Newforma and promptly provide Newforma with any changes or updates to such information.

3.3  Taxes.  Fees for Services and Consulting Services do not include sales, use, withholding, value added, excise or similar taxes unless expressly indicated in an Order Form.  Any applicable tax will be added to such fees.  Customer shall pay all such taxes relating to the Services and the Consulting Services provided under the Agreement (other than taxes based upon Newforma’s gross revenue or net income).  If any of such taxes are paid by Newforma, then Customer will, upon request, reimburse Newforma for such taxes, together with any interest charged on such taxes by the applicable taxing authority if not due to Newforma’s delay.

4. LIMITED WARRANTY

4.1 Limited Warranty.  Newforma warrants solely to Customer (and not to any individual Authorized User) that, during the Subscription Term, if applicable, or such other time period of use as described or contemplated in the applicable Order Form, the ordered Service will conform in all material respects to the description of such Service set forth in its Documentation (the “Service Limited Warranty”).  Without limiting the foregoing, Newforma does not warrant that (a) any Service will meet Customer’s requirements; (b) any Service will operate without interruption or be error free; or (c) any Content will be accurate or reliable.  Furthermore, Newforma is not responsible for delays, delivery failures, or any other loss or damage resulting from the transfer of data over communications networks and facilities, including the internet. Customer acknowledges and agrees that a Service may be subject to limitations, delays and other problems inherent in the use of the internet, servers that are hosted by third party providers and such related network and communications infrastructure.

 

4.2 Exclusive Remedy for Breach of Warranty.  If the ordered Service does not conform to the Service Limited Warranty, then Newforma shall, at its option and expense, either: (a) use reasonable efforts to correct any such non-conformities in such Service or provide Customer with a workaround; (b) correct any errors or discrepancies in the Documentation; or (c) refund a pro-rata portion of the fee paid by Customer for such Services based upon the remaining time in the Subscription Term, if any.  If the use of such Service is for other than a stated period in the applicable Order Form (e.g., for the duration of an estimated project length), then Newforma will refund to customer a pro-rata portion of the paid fees for such Service as equitably and reasonably determined by Newforma.  Newforma shall have no liability for any claim based upon (i) improper use of a Service or use of a Service not in accordance with instructions provided by Newforma; (ii) any modification of a Service that is not done by Newforma; or (iii) errors caused by the infrastructure, network, communications facilities, including the internet, other software or hardware used to access a Service. The foregoing states Customer’s sole remedy and the exclusive obligation of Newforma with respect to claims of breach of the Services Limited Warranty.

4.3  Consulting Services Limited Warranty.  (a) Newforma warrants solely to Customer (and not to any individual Authorized User) that Consulting Services will be performed with reasonable skill, care and diligence (the “Consulting Services Limited Warranty”).  If Customer notifies Newforma in writing that a Consulting Service is not completed in accordance with the Consulting Services Limited Warranty within thirty (30) days after completion of such Consulting Services or such longer period of time agreed to in writing by Newforma, then Newforma will re-perform such Consulting Service to the extent necessary so that such Consulting Service is performed in accordance with the Consulting Services Limited Warranty.

(b) The foregoing states Customer’s sole remedy, and the exclusive obligations of Newforma, with respect to claims of breach of the Consulting Services Limited Warranty.

 

4.4 Disclaimer of Other Warranties. Newforma is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, appropriateness, or legality of the Content, files, user posts, or any other information you may be able to access using a Service.

6. INDEMNIFICATIONS.

6.1 By Newforma.  (a)  Newforma will defend at its expense any third party action brought against Customer only to the extent that it is (i) as a result of Newforma’s breach of the Agreement or (ii) based upon a claim that a Service ordered by Customer, when properly used within the scope of the Agreement, infringes a patent, copyright or trademark in the country(ies) where Customer’s office locations are located and such Service is used by Customer, and Newforma will pay any damages, costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees finally awarded, or agreed to in settlement and in writing, which are attributable to such claim, provided that (A) Customer promptly notifies Newforma in writing of the claim, (B) Customer permits Newforma to assume sole control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations provided that no settlement (I) without a general release of claims for the benefit of Customer, and/or (II) including an obligation of Customer to admit to any liability or make any payment, will be made without the prior written consent of Customer, and (C) Customer provides reasonable cooperation, information and assistance in connection with the claim.

(b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Newforma shall have no liability to Customer with respect to claims of infringement based upon (i) the combination, use or operation of any Service with equipment, software or data not supplied, or approved in writing, by Newforma if such claim would have been avoided by use of other equipment, software or data, (ii) any modification of any Service that is not done, or expressly authorized in writing, by Newforma, (iii) the use of other than the current version of a Service, if such version was made available by Newforma for no additional fees with notice that such version was being provided in order to avoid an alleged or potential infringement, (iv) compliance by Newforma with Customer’s designs, specifications or instructions, or (v) infringement of patents, copyrights, trade secrets and/or other intellectual property rights of Customer or any of its affiliates (each, an “Excluded Claim”).

(c)  Newforma’s obligations under this Section are conditioned upon Customer’s agreement that if a Service, or the use or operation thereof, becomes, or in Newforma’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of such a claim, then Newforma may at its expense, either procure the right for Customer to continue using such or, at Newforma’s option, replace or modify the same so that it becomes non infringing provided that such replacement or modification does not materially and adversely affect the functionality of the same.  If neither of the foregoing alternatives is commercially reasonable in Newforma’s reasonable judgment, then Newforma may terminate the Agreement with respect to such infringing Service by providing written notice to Customer.  Upon receipt of such notice, Customer will uninstall, and/or cease use, of such Service at which point Newforma will refund to Customer a pro-rata portion of the prepaid fees for such Service for the then-current Subscription Term, if any, based upon the time remaining in the then-current Subscription Term.  If the use of such Service is for other than a stated period in the applicable Order Form (e.g., for the duration of an estimated project length), then Newforma will refund to customer a pro-rata portion of the an prepaid fees for such Service as equitably and reasonably determined by Newforma.

(d)  The foregoing states the sole remedy, and the exclusive obligations of Newforma, with respect to the infringement, or alleged infringement, of a third party’s intellectual property rights.

6.2 By You.  (a)  You will defend at your expense any third party action brought against Newforma to the extent that it is (i) as a result of your breach of the Agreement or (ii) with respect to Customer only, based upon an Excluded Claim, and you will pay any damages, costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees finally awarded, or agreed to in settlement and in writing, which are attributable to such claim, provided that (A) Newforma promptly notifies you in writing of such claim, (B) Newforma permits you to assume sole control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations provided that no settlement without (I) a general release of claims for the benefit of Newforma or (II) including an obligation of Newforma to admit to any liability or make any payment will be made without the prior written consent of Newforma, and (C) Newforma provides reasonable cooperation, information and assistance in connection with such claim.

(b)  The foregoing states the sole remedy of Newforma, and the exclusive obligations of you, with respect to the infringement, or alleged infringement, of a third party’s intellectual property rights.

9.2 Treatment of Confidential Information.  The receiving party shall not, without the prior written consent of the disclosing party, disclose any Confidential Information of the disclosing party to any person or entity other than the receiving party’s employees or contractors that need to have access to such information.  As a condition to any such consent, the disclosing may require any such third party to enter into the disclosing party’s standard non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement.  The receiving party shall not, without the disclosing party’s prior written consent, disclose any of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information to anyone other than the receiving party’s employees or contractors that need to have access to such information or, if the receiving party is Newforma, as otherwise described in the Privacy Policy.  Each party shall use the Confidential Information of the other party only in a manner consistent with the Agreement and shall otherwise protect such Confidential Information from disclosure to others with the same degree of care accorded to its own proprietary information (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care). 

 

9.3 Release from Restrictions.  The provisions of Section 9.2 shall not apply to any Confidential Information which: (a) was known by the receiving party prior to its date of disclosure to the receiving party without an obligation of confidentiality, as evidenced by the prior written records of the receiving party; or (b) is disclosed to the receiving party without an obligation of confidentiality by sources other than the disclosing party rightfully in possession of the Confidential Information and having the right to disclose the Confidential Information; or (c) becomes published or generally known to the public through no breach of the Agreement on the part of the receiving party or its affiliate; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without reliance upon, or reference to, any Confidential Information of the disclosing party; or (e) is required to be disclosed by the receiving party to comply with applicable laws, to defend or prosecute litigation or to comply with governmental regulations, provided that, unless prohibited by law, the receiving party provides to the other party prior written notice of such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity to contest such disclosure, and thereafter reasonably cooperates with the disclosing party to take lawful actions to avoid and/or minimize the degree of such disclosure.

 

9.4 Return of Confidential Information.  Upon termination of the Agreement or at any other time upon a disclosing party’s request, the receiving party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to immediately destroy all materials in such receiving party’s possession reflecting or containing any Confidential Information of the disclosing party.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any separate existing confidentiality agreement entered into between the parties shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, and to the extent that any of the provisions of any such agreement conflict with the provisions of the Agreement, the provisions of such existing agreement shall prevail and govern and control such conflict.

(c)  To the extent that any of the provisions of an Order Form or statement of work and these Terms and Conditions conflict, the provision of such Order Form or statement of work shall prevail and govern and control such conflict.

(f)  In the event of any inconsistency between the English version of any portion of the Agreement and any translation of such portion of the Agreement into another language, the translated version shall prevail and be binding upon Newforma and Customer.

However, the limitation of liability and disclaimer above apply equally to the availability of a Service.  Newforma is not liable if for any reason a Service is unavailable at any time and for any period and for any reason. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, Newforma may change or add to, a Service, or any portion thereof, at any time with or without notice to you. If any future changes are unacceptable to you, you should discontinue using such changed Service.
