1. DEFINITIONS. As used in these Terms and Conditions, the following terms have the following meanings:
2.1 LICENSE TO USE SERVICES. Upon placing an Order, the following provisions shall apply:
2.1 Service, Grant of License.
(a) Subject to your compliance with the Agreement, during the Subscription Term, if applicable, or such other time period as described or contemplated in the applicable Order Form for a Service, Newforma grants to Customer and each of its Authorized Users a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to download, install, access and/or use, as the case may be, the Application described in such Order Form on any Device by using a designated e-mail address (or other unique identifier if permitted by Newforma) and password for each Authorized User (“Credentials”), and to use the applicable Documentation, all solely in conjunction with Customer’s licensed use of the ordered Service. Except for the limited rights expressly granted to Customer and its Authorized Users hereunder, Newforma reserves all rights, title and interest in, and to, each of the Services, including the underlying software, the Documentation, and the Consulting Services, including, without limitation, all related intellectual property rights inherent therein. Newforma does not grant to Customer or any Authorized User any rights whatsoever in relation to any of the Services other than the rights as expressly set forth in the Agreement. The Application described in such Order may be used on as many Devices as you want.
(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. You should immediately notify Newforma of any unauthorized use of an Authorized User’s account or if your email (or other unique identifier if applicable) or password has been hacked, stolen or compromised in any way. If you discover that someone is using your password or account without your consent, then you shall notify Newforma immediately. In such event, Newforma reserves the right to suspend or discontinue all or part of your access to the Services until such time Newforma is reasonably satisfied that someone is not using your password or account without your consent.
(c) So long as Customer or any of its Authorized Users are not in breach of this Agreement, in consideration of the fees paid for a Service, Newforma will provide Customer with all upgrades to such Service made available by Newforma generally to its customers. Customer shall have a right to use such upgrades on these Terms and Conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Service will not include, and the fees paid for such Service will not cover, any future additional products or packages that are sold separately by Newforma, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Newforma in its sole discretion.
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.
2.3 Your Content (a) You may upload Content through an Application in connection with your use of the applicable Service. Newforma does not own any of your Content.

Newforma will not share your Content with non-affiliate third parties without your permission, except to meet its obligations to Customer under the Agreement or as otherwise may be provided in the Privacy Policy or Data Protection Addendum.
(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.
(e) The Services include features that allow you to share Content with others and/or to make it public. There are many things that users may do with that Content (including copying it, modifying it, and/or re-sharing it). Newforma has no responsibility for such activity. You should consider carefully what you choose to share or make public.

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.

Your access to, and use of, such Service may also be suspended for the duration of any scheduled maintenance or unscheduled downtime or unavailability of any portion or all of such Service for any reason, including as a result of power outages, system or internet failures or other interruptions, or any other acts, omissions or failures on the part of Newforma’s service providers.
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.
(b) Customer acknowledges that Newforma shall be the exclusive owner of all rights set out in Section 2.2 above, together with all software, designs, technology and inventions made, conceived, or reduced to practice, by, or on behalf of, Newforma or its affiliates in the course of performing Consulting Services and all copyright, patent and other intellectual property rights in such work product (collectively, the “Work Product”). Customer hereby assigns to Newforma all right, title and interest in any Work Product which it may have and will do anything necessary to effect title in, and to, such rights into the name of Newforma. Upon payment in full of any amounts due for Consulting Services, any Work Product which is software to be used for Customer’s internal business purposes shall be subject to these Terms and Conditions.
2.9 Support. (a) In consideration of the fees paid for a Service, Newforma will provide Customer’s authorized contacts as indicated on an Order Form or such other contacts as agreed upon by Newforma in its sole discretion (each, an “Authorized Contact”) the same basic technical and product support to the Customer that Newforma provides to its customers generally for such Service or as otherwise agreed upon in writing by Newforma and Customer in an Order Form; provided that Newforma shall have no obligation to provide any such support in the event Customer has failed to pay any amounts due to Newforma for a Service or any Consulting Services or in the event Customer has otherwise breached the Agreement and such breach, if curable, has not been cured within thirty (30) days of notice of such breach or such longer period as agreed to in writing by Newforma in its sole discretion.

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, support for a Service does not include support for any Consulting Services.

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.

Every additional Newforma® Project Center or Newforma® InfoExchange server that is added during the Subscription Term to an existing, or new, location of Customer, a “Newforma Deployment of Subsequent Server” fee shall apply in an amount agreed to by Customer and Newforma.
(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.

The process enables Customer and these selected Newforma customers to remotely modify any synchronized folders and their contents that they choose to share with each other for the specified project. It also enables the selected Newforma customers to transfer files and workflow actions, such as RFI’s, Submittals, and Action Items, directly to Customer’s internal Newforma® Project Center and project folder environment as new “pending incoming items” for the specified project.

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.

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.

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.

SPECIFICALLY, AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, NEWFORMA DOES NOT WARRANT OR REPRESENT THAT A SERVICE WILL BE CONTINUOUS, SECURE, RELIABLE, ACCESSIBLE, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT NEWFORMA’S SERVERS, SITE OR APPLICATION ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT NEWFORMA’S SECURITY PROCEDURES AND MECHANISMS WILL PREVENT THE LOSS OR ALTERATION OF, OR IMPROPER ACCESS TO, PERSONAL INFORMATION OR CONTENT BY THIRD PARTIES.
5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT IN CONNECTION WITH A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OR CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE), (a) IN NO EVENT SHALL A PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR THE INABILITY TO USE A SERVICE OR TO ACCESS CONTENT, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS, OR THE LIKE), ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT EVEN IF SUCH PARTY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND EVEN IF A REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, AND (b) NEWFORMA’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER FOR ACTUAL AND/OR DIRECT DAMAGES FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER WILL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT CUSTOMER PAID FOR THE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO SUCH DAMAGES, IF ANY, FOR THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES. REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE), NEWFORMA’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER’S AUTHORIZED USERS FOR ACTUAL AND/OR DIRECT DAMAGES UNDER THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND NEWFORMA WILL BE LIMITED TO $1,000. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY TO ALL SUCH CLAIMS IN THE AGGREGATE.
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.

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.

10.8 Entire Agreement.
(a) These Terms and Conditions are incorporated by reference into every Order and Order Form. The Agreement shall apply to all Services and any Consulting Services ordered or used by Customer.

(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.

If any future changes are unacceptable to you, you should discontinue using such changed Service.
