  6. Security and Data.
    1. Security Program. We will develop, implement, maintain and monitor a written data security program that contains commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security, confidentiality or integrity of Your Data, including the unauthorized or accidental acquisition, destruction, loss, alteration or use of, and the unauthorized access to, Your Data, in a manner that is consistent with applicable federal and state laws and regulations, including HIPAA.  We will review and, as appropriate, revise our security program at least annually or whenever there is a material change in our business that may reasonably affect the security or integrity of Your Data.
    2. Physical and Environmental Security. We will ensure that our information processing facilities that handle, process, and store Your Data are housed in secure areas and protected by perimeter security, such as barrier access controls that provide a physically secure environment from unauthorized access, damage, and interference.
    3. Security Breaches. We will promptly report to you any unauthorized acquisition, access, use or disclosure of Your Data maintained on servers owned or otherwise licensed by us from a third party (e.g. AWS) (each, a “Security Breach”).  We will also use diligent efforts to remedy any such Security Breach in a timely manner and deliver to you a root cause assessment and future incident mitigation plan with regard to each Security Breach.
    4. Data Backup and Disaster Recovery. Throughout the Term, we will maintain or cause to be maintained commercially reasonable disaster avoidance procedures designed to safeguard Your Data, our processing capability and the availability of the Software.  Without limiting the foregoing, we will conduct or have conducted daily backups of Your Data and perform or cause to be performed other periodic backups of Your Data and store such backups in a commercially reasonable location and manner.
    5. Reputable Hosting Provider. We may provide our hosting services using Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) or such other hosting provider that implements and maintains commercially reasonable security programs, policies, procedures, controls and technologies.
  7. Confidentiality.
    1. Treatment of Confidential Information. If you and we already have a nondisclosure agreement in place that will continue to apply during the Term of this Agreement, then you and we will indicate this in your Service Order.  Otherwise, the following confidentiality provisions will apply: During the Term and for a period of five years thereafter, each receiving party (each, a “Recipient”) will hold in strict confidence any proprietary or confidential information (collectively, “Confidential Information”) of the other party (the “Discloser”) and will not disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information to any third party nor use the Discloser’s Confidential Information for any purpose except for carrying out its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement.  To be clear, our Software, all information related to our Software, and the terms and existence of this Agreement are all our Confidential Information, and Your Data is your Confidential Information.  These restrictions will not restrict the use or disclosure of information disclosed by one party to the other that (i) is or becomes publicly known other than as a result of any act by the Recipient, (ii) is lawfully received by the Recipient from a third party not in a confidential relationship with the Discloser, (iii) was already rightfully known by the Recipient prior to receipt thereof from the Discloser, or (iv) after notice and an opportunity to object, is required by law to be disclosed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party’s confidentiality obligations will survive with respect to the other party’s Confidential Information that is a trade secret for so long as such Confidential Information continues to be a trade secret under applicable law.
    2. Protected Health Information. With respect to handling any Protected Health Information, we will comply with the applicable provisions of HIPAA to the same extent as you are required to comply with HIPAA.  We will not use or further disclose any Protected Health Information other than as permitted by this Agreement and the requirements of HIPAA pertaining to you.  To the extent we are a “business associate” of yours under HIPAA, we will execute a business associate agreement with you, in a form that you and we agree upon, and we will comply with such agreement.
  8. Fees and Payment.
    1. Fees. You will pay to us the subscription fees and other fees and charges described in your Service Order (the “Fees”) in accordance with your Service Order and this Section.  All Fees once paid are non-refundable.
    2. Taxes. Our Fees do not include taxes and similar assessments.  We will pass along to you the cost of all sales and excise (and other similar) taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by a governmental authority on amounts payable under this Agreement, other than taxes imposed on our income.  If any such amounts are owed to a governmental authority, we will calculate the amount of the obligation and include this on your bill or invoice, and we will remit those amounts to the applicable authority.
    3. Payment. You will make all payments in US dollars.  You will, upon our request, establish and maintain valid and updated credit card information or a valid ACH auto debit account (in each case, the “Automatic Payment Method”).  Upon establishment of an Automatic Payment Method, we may charge the Fees using that Automatic Payment Method.  If instead we invoice you for the applicable Fees, invoiced amounts are due net 30 days from the invoice date.  You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information and notifying us of any changes to that information.
    4. Further Assurances. If at any time, through your usage of the Software and our Services or otherwise, you incur an aggregate balance owed to us of $5,000 or more, we reserve the right, in our reasonable discretion, to take any reasonable action to ensure and confirm your ability to pay, including, but not limited to, processing a D&B report, processing a credit report, requiring written validation that the individual who has executed this Agreement on your behalf was duly authorized, processing a nominal charge to your Automatic Payment Method for validation purposes, or requiring you to immediately deposit an amount equal to a commercially reasonable percentage of the balance owed.  You will provide all reasonable cooperation and assistance we request in connection with our actions under this Section.

    1. Software and Services. We (or the respective rights holders in any Third-Party Materials) own all right, title and interest in and to the Services and our Software, including all related intellectual property rights.  We are not granting you any right, license or authorization with respect to any of the Services, our Software, or any Third-Party Materials except as we’ve specifically provided in Section 3.a above (and subject to the limitations and restrictions in Section 3.b above).  We and the respective rights holders in any Third-Party materials reserve all other rights in and to the Services, our Software, and any Third-Party Materials.
    2. Your Data. As between you and us, you are and will remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to all of Your Data, including all intellectual property rights relating to Your Data, subject to the rights you grant to us in Section 9.c.

Any delay or failure of either party to enforce its rights, powers or privileges under this Agreement, at any time or for any period, will not be construed as a waiver of such rights, powers and privileges, and the exercise of one right or remedy will not be deemed a waiver of any other right or remedy.  If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.  (d)  Governing Law and Venue.  This Agreement will be deemed to have been made in, and will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of, the State of Indiana, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.  The sole jurisdiction and venue for actions related to this Agreement will be the state or federal courts located in Indianapolis, Indiana, and both parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts with respect to any such action.  (e)  Notices.  All notices under this Agreement will be in writing and may be delivered by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf), certified or registered mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery, in each case to the address or e-mail address specified in the Service Order.  (f)  Assignment.  Neither party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that either party may assign this Agreement in its entirety without the other party’s consent to its affiliates or to an entity that acquires all or substantially all of the business or assets of such party to which this Agreement pertains, whether by merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale or otherwise.  This Agreement will be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.  (g)  No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or will confer on any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.  (h)  Relationship of the Parties.  The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors.
