7. Statement of Verification; Audit Rights. Upon ReliaQuest’s written request, Customer will furnish ReliaQuest with a document signed by Customer’s authorized representative verifying that the ReliaQuest Platform is being used in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Order. Customer is responsible for implementing reasonable procedures to ensure its compliance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable terms of an Order. ReliaQuest may from time to time, but not more frequently than one (1) time in any calendar year, unless a material violation occurred in this period or is reasonably suspected by ReliaQuest, audit Customer’s and any Customer Vendor’s use of the ReliaQuest Platform for the purpose of confirming that the ReliaQuest Platform is not being used in a manner that is prohibited by this Agreement or any applicable Order. Any audit will be conducted during regular business hours at Customer’s (and/or its Customer Vendors’) facilities, will not unreasonably interfere with Customer’s (or Customer Vendors’) business and will comply with Customer’s (or its Customer Vendors’) reasonable uniformly applied security procedures. Customer shall (and shall cause any Customer Vendor to) provide ReliaQuest with reasonable access to all relevant records and facilities reasonably necessary to conduct the audit. If an audit reveals that Customer (and/or any Customer Vendor) has exceeded the scope of Customer’s license grant during the period audited, then ReliaQuest will invoice Customer, and Customer will promptly pay ReliaQuest, any underpaid Fees based on ReliaQuest’s price list in effect at the time the audit is completed. If ReliaQuest uncovers reasonable evidence that ReliaQuest Platform is being used in a manner that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, ReliaQuest may, in its sole discretion, immediately terminate this Agreement by providing notice to Customer without prejudice to ReliaQuest’s other remedies under this Agreement or at law or in equity. This Section 7 will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years.

8. Confidentiality.

a. Nondisclosure Obligation. If ReliaQuest or Customer receives Confidential Information (“Recipient”) from the other party (“Discloser”), then Recipient will protect such Confidential Information from disclosure by exercising at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own similar information, and in any event not less than reasonable care.

b. Exceptions. The foregoing obligations will not apply to any Confidential Information that (i) is or becomes available to the public, other than by breach of a duty under this Agreement by Recipient, (ii) is in the rightful possession of the Recipient without an obligation of confidentiality, or (iii) is independently developed by Recipient without use of or reference to Confidential Information of Discloser.

c. Required Disclosures. Confidential Information may be disclosed by Recipient as required by a court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction, provided that prior to any such disclosure Recipient provides Discloser with prompt written notice so that Discloser may seek an appropriate protective order.

d. Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement or of support and maintenance, Recipient will, at Discloser’s option, promptly return or destroy all tangible items and embodiments containing or consisting of Confidential Information and provide written certification of this destruction or return by an authorized person. ReliaQuest shall have the right to delete or remove all Customer Operational Data from ReliaQuest’s systems upon termination of or expiration of an Order and retain copies of this Agreement, any Orders and associated purchase orders and invoices, and any Customer Records for archival purposes after termination or expiration of an Order

e. Injunctive Relief. Recipient agrees that, due to the unique nature of the Confidential Information, the unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information may cause irreparable harm and significant injury to Discloser, the extent of which may be difficult to ascertain and for which there may be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Recipient agrees that Discloser, in addition to any other available remedies, will have the right to seek an immediate injunction and other equitable relief enjoining any breach or threatened breach of this Section 8, without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. Recipient will notify Discloser in writing immediately upon Recipient’s becoming aware of any breach or threatened breach.

13. Term and Termination.

a. Term. This EULA will commence upon the Effective Date and shall continue for as long as any Order remains in effect.

b. Termination Rights. Unless as otherwise provided in this Agreement, either party may terminate an Order by written notice to the other party in the event of a material breach of this Agreement that is not cured within sixty (60) days of receipt of the written notice (the “Cure Period”), as determined through evaluating ReliaQuest’s delivery of the ReliaQuest Platform during the period of time following its receipt of such termination notice or through Customer’s correction of such breach and continued compliance with the terms of the Agreement during such time frame. The written notice must include a detailed explanation that specifically identifies the performance issue or breach in question. If the performance issue has not been resolved by the end of the Cure Period, Customer may terminate the Agreement after delivering payment in full to ReliaQuest for all activities performed through the effective date of termination, and Customer will be entitled to a pro-rata refund of any pre-paid amounts under the applicable Order attributable to the post-termination timeframe. Non-payment by Customer shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement and shall constitute cause to the extent such breach is not cured by Customer within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such breach from ReliaQuest. In addition, ReliaQuest may immediately terminate this Agreement and any Order (in whole or in part) by providing written notice to Customer (a) if Customer materially breaches the license granted in Sections 1, 3 and 4 of this Agreement, or (b) as otherwise stated in this Agreement. ReliaQuest may also terminate Customer’s license to: (i) Evaluation GreyMatter; or (ii) Free GreyMatter, at any time with or without cause after providing notice to Customer. For the avoidance of doubt, termination of a particular Order shall not affect the term of any other Order that Customer has entered into with ReliaQuest. Upon termination or expiration of an Order, the access to the applicable components of the ReliaQuest Platform will be terminated automatically.

c. Software Product Breaches. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the material breach described in Section 13(b) is caused by, or arises from a performance issue relating to a Software Product included in an Order, then Customer’s termination rights for such material breach shall strictly apply to terminating the portions of an applicable Order that relate to the Software Product, and, Customer shall not be permitted to terminate any other portion(s) of such Order as it relates to the ReliaQuest Platform.

d. Effect of Termination. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, the rights and licenses granted to Customer will automatically terminate, and Customer agrees to immediately (a) cease using the ReliaQuest Platform, (b) return or destroy all copies of the ReliaQuest Platform and other ReliaQuest Confidential Information in Customer’s possession or control and return all Software Products to ReliaQuest, and (c) certify in writing the completion of the return or destruction in accordance with Section 8.d of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, ReliaQuest will have no obligation to refund any Fees or other amounts received from Customer during the Term. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, Customer shall be required to pay all Fees due under an Order, even in the event of an early termination. In addition to any other right or obligation that by its nature is intended to survive any termination or expiration, the following Sections shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement: (i) Section 3 (Ownership of Services and ReliaQuest Platform); (ii) Section 4 (Acceptable Use Policy); (iii) Section 5 (Subscription Fees); (iv) Section 6 (Service Metrics); (v) Section 7 (Statement of Verification; Audit Rights); (vi) Section 8 (Confidentiality); (vii) Section 9 (Warranties & Disclaimer); (viii) Section 10 (Indemnification); (ix) Section 11 (Limitation of Liability); (x) Section 13 (Term and Termination); and (xi) Section 14 (General).

e. Suspension and Termination. This Agreement shall remain effective until termination in accordance with this Section or as otherwise specified herein. ReliaQuest may immediately suspend Customer’s access to, or use of, the ReliaQuest Platform if: (i) ReliaQuest believes that there is a significant threat to the security, integrity, functionality, or availability of the ReliaQuest Platform or any components, content, data, or applications in the ReliaQuest Platform; (ii) Customer or Customer Users are in breach of the license granted in Section 1, 3 or 4 of this Agreement; or (iii) Customer fails to pay ReliaQuest any undisputed Fees when due; provided, however, ReliaQuest will use commercially reasonable efforts under the circumstances to provide Customer with notice and, if applicable, an opportunity to remedy such violation prior to any such suspension.

14. General.

a. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for, nor shall either party be considered in breach of this Agreement due to, any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other than its payment obligations) as a result of a cause beyond its control, including but not limited to, act of God or a public enemy, act of any military, civil or regulatory authority, change in any law or regulation, fire, flood, earthquake, pandemic, global health emergency, epidemic and/or actual or anticipated public health crisis, storm or other like event, disruption or outage of communications (including an upstream server block and Internet or other networked environment disruption or outage), power or other utility, labor problem, or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, which could not have been prevented with reasonable care. The party experiencing a force majeure event, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice of such to the other party.

b. Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except (i) to an Affiliate in connection with a corporate reorganization or (ii) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of its business and/or assets. Any assignment in violation of this Section shall be void. Subject to the foregoing, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the successors and permitted assigns.

c. Governing Law; Venue. Except as otherwise provided in an Order, this Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties arising from this Agreement, shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, excluding its conflicts-of-law principles. The sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for actions arising under this Agreement shall be state and federal courts in Hillsborough County, Florida, and the parties agree to service of process in accordance with the rules of such courts. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act and the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods shall not apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party reserves the right to file a suit or action in any court of competent jurisdiction as such party deems necessary to protect its Intellectual Property Rights and, in ReliaQuest’s case, to recoup any payments due.

d. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any applicable Orders entered into under this Agreement, forms the entire agreement between ReliaQuest and Customer regarding Customer’s use of the ReliaQuest Platform and supersedes and replaces any previous communications, representations, or agreements, or Customer’s additional or inconsistent terms, whether oral or written. By entering this Agreement or any Order under this EULA, Customer, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates, and other related persons, expressly waives and releases ReliaQuest from any and all legal and equitable claims, demands, actions, and other obligations arising out of or relating to any prior agreements entered into between ReliaQuest and Customer or its Affiliates dated or effective before this Agreement or any Order under this EULA. In the event any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable the remainder of this Agreement will remain enforceable and unaffected thereby.

e. Affiliates. Any Affiliate purchasing hereunder, or using or accessing any offering hereunder, or benefitting from the Customer’s use thereof, will be bound by and comply with all terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Customer signing this Agreement will remain responsible for Customer’s Affiliates’ acts and omissions unless Customer’s Affiliate has entered into its own agreement with ReliaQuest with respect to the subject matter herein.

f. Enforceability of Limitations. THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT LIMIT, DISCLAIM, OR EXCLUDE WARRANTIES, REMEDIES, OR DAMAGES ARE INTENDED BY THE PARTIES TO BE INDEPENDENT AND REMAIN IN EFFECT DESPITE THE FAILURE OR UNENFORCEABILITY OF ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES HAVE RELIED ON THE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO ENTER INTO IT.

g. Waiver and Severability. Neither party’s failure to exercise or delay in exercising any of its rights under this Agreement will constitute or be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of those rights. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the parties, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

h. Amendment. ReliaQuest may change the terms and conditions of this EULA from time to time for business purposes and to comply with changes in applicable law. In the event of any substantive or material changes, ReliaQuest shall communicate these changes to you by posting the updated EULA on its Website, email, or other methods. Your continued use of, or access to, the ReliaQuest Platform following such this EULA constitutes your agreement to follow and be bound by the updated EULA. Changes in any other form other than a signed written amendment by authorized representatives of each party are void, including any handwritten interlineations to this Agreement. Any conflicting or additional terms and conditions on or accompanying any purchase order or other communication from Customer are void and Customer shall not seek or attempt to: (i) modify; (ii) contradict; (iii) negate; or (iv) add to, any term or condition contained in this Agreement. ReliaQuest’s failure to object to provisions contained in any purchase order or other communication from Customer will not be construed as a waiver of this Section 14.h and Customer’s issuance of a purchase order constitutes acceptance of this Agreement notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the purchase order. ReliaQuest expressly rejects any terms and conditions in Customer’s purchase order that differ from those in this Agreement. Any different or additional terms and conditions will not become a part of the agreement between the parties notwithstanding any subsequent acknowledgement, invoice, or license that ReliaQuest may issue.

i. Interpretation. Headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement will not be construed either in favor of or against one party or the other, but rather in accordance with its fair meaning. When the term “including” is used in this Agreement it will be construed in each case to mean “including, but not limited to.”

j. Order of Precedence. In the event of a conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail over any conflicting terms in an Order, unless such Order expressly references the section of this Agreement that it is intended to override.

k. Relationship of the Parties. Each party is an independent contractor in the performance of this Agreement. Neither party is, nor will claim to be, a legal representative, partner, franchisee, agent, or employee of the other, unless explicitly provided otherwise in this Agreement. Personnel of each party and their Affiliates will not be deemed employees or agents of the other party.

l. Publicity. Without the prior written consent of the other party or unless as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither party will: (i) publicly use the name, logo or other identifying marks of the other party, or (ii) issue or permit the issuance of any press release or other public statement regarding this Agreement or the parties’ relationship.

m. Subcontracting.

n. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will be deemed to be one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by PDF or by means of other electronic signature. PDF or other electronic signatures will be deemed to be valid and original. For the purposes of this Agreement, “written” or “writing” includes any electronic record or mode of communication that accurately preserves its information and is capable of being reproduced in tangible form, such as an electronically reproduced facsimile document. Neither Party may contest the validity or enforceability of a PDF or electronic document on the grounds that it fails to comply with the Statute of Frauds or similar laws requiring that contracts be in writing.

o. Independent Contractors; No Third-Party Rights. The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement shall not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency between the parties.
