7. Confidentiality
7.1 Definition of Confidential Information. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all confidential and proprietary information of a Party (“Disclosing Party”) disclosed to the other Party (“Receiving Party”) that (a) if disclosed orally is designated as confidential at the time of disclosure, (b) if disclosed in writing is marked as “Confidential” and/or “Proprietary,” or (c) reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Without limiting the foregoing, Confidential Information of Passageways shall include the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including pricing and other terms reflected in all Purchase Agreements hereunder), provision of the Services, screen shots of OnBoard, pricing in proposals, business and marketing materials, technology and technical information, product designs, and business processes. Without limiting the foregoing, Your Confidential Information shall include the Posted Content. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement, in confidence, to a potential purchaser of or successor to any portion of such Party’s business resulting from the reorganization, spin-off, or sale of all or a portion of all the assets of any business, division, or group of such Party. Confidential Information shall not include any information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party;
(iii) was independently developed by the Receiving Party, which can be demonstrated with clear and convincing evidence; or (iv) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party.
7.2 Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure. The Receiving Party shall not disclose or use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, except with the Disclosing Party’s prior written permission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information to those of its employees and contractors who need to know such information for purposes of performing this Agreement and certifies that such employees and contractors have agreed, either as a condition of employment or in order to obtain the Confidential Information, to be bound by terms and conditions substantially similar to those in this Section 7. The Receiving Party shall use the same degree of care to protect the Confidential Information as it uses to protect its own information of a confidential and proprietary nature, but in no event shall it use less than a reasonable degree of care.
7.3 Compelled Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law or legal process to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it shall provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted), provide reasonable assistance, at Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure and only make such disclosure, in both manner and content, as required by such law or legal process.
7.4 Remedies. If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of confidentiality protections hereunder, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the Parties that any other available remedies are inadequate.
7.5 Survival. Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the obligations of confidentiality and non-use set forth in this Section shall continue in perpetuity.
8. Pricing and Payment
8.1 Subscription Fees. You shall pay the amounts set forth in your Purchase Agreement(s) with Passageways (“Subscription Fees”) in accordance with the terms and conditions stated in the Purchase Agreement. Subscription Fees shall be subject to change or increase as set forth in Section 9.1 or otherwise in the applicable Purchase Agreements.
8.2 Overdue Payments. Any payment due hereunder not received from You by the due date may accrue, at Passageways’ discretion, late charges at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid. In addition, You shall be responsible for attorneys’ fees and other costs of collection in the event You fail to make payments as required under this Agreement.
8.3 Taxes. All amounts to be paid under this Agreement are exclusive of applicable value-added taxes (VAT) and all sales, use, license, goods and services and other similar taxes and all applicable import fees, customs duties, and similar charges under applicable law arising from the delivery and implementation of OnBoard and the Services to You (collectively, “Taxes”). The Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that the transactions hereunder are not subject to Taxes. However, if any Taxes are levied, You are responsible for payment of all Taxes. In the event any amounts due to Passageways are subject to withholding imposed by a government authority, such amount will be remitted by You to the appropriate taxing authority for the benefit of Passageways. Thereafter, You will gross up such payment such that the balance payable to Passageways after adjustment for the applicable withholdings or Taxes shall be equivalent to the entire amount invoiced by Passageways as the purchase price payable to Passageways. You will cooperate with Passageways to provide information and records as Passageways may require in connection with any application by Passageways to any governmental taxing authority.
8.4 Non-Payment and Suspension of OnBoard. If Your Account is more than thirty (30) days past due, in addition to any of its other rights or remedies under this Agreement or by applicable law, Passageways reserves the right to suspend access to OnBoard, but only if such past due account is not paid within five (5) business days after written notice of Passageways’ intent to exercise its right to suspend hereunder. Any such permitted suspension shall be without liability to You and may continue until such amounts are paid in full.
9. Term
9.1 Term of Agreement. This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and will continue for one year thereafter (hereinafter the “Initial Subscription Term”). The term of this Agreement will automatically renew for consecutive one-year terms (each a “Renewal Subscription Term,” and together with the Initial Subscription Term, the “Subscription Term”), unless You or Passageways provide the other written notice of termination no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Subscription Term or any Renewal Subscription Term. Passageways may implement revised Subscription Fees, in excess of the annual increment referenced in Your Purchase Agreement(s), for any Renewal Subscription Term by giving written notice of such price changes to You at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Subscription Term, and that pricing will take effect unless You elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section.
9.2 Early Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the end of the Subscription Term as follows: (a) in the event that either Party materially breaches an obligation hereunder and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after being notified thereof in writing, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement (and any Purchase Agreement) at any time thereafter that the breach is continuing by providing written notice to the non-breaching Party, (b) by You in accordance with Section 10.4 and (c) in accordance with Section 14.6.
9.3 Your Obligation to Pay. Termination of this Agreement shall not limit Passageways from pursuing other remedies available to it, including injunctive relief. Agreement termination shall not relieve You of Your obligation to pay the entire Subscription Fee for the applicable Subscription Term and all other applicable fees, if any, due to Passageways for the use of OnBoard.
9.4 Effect of Termination. Following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, (a) Passageways will convert Your Account to an inactive status, (b) You must immediately cease (and Passageways can block) Your accessing and using OnBoard and (c) You will retrieve all Your Posted Content no later than thirty (30) days after termination.

10.4 Remedy for Breach of OnBoard Warranty. If OnBoard breaches the foregoing OnBoard Warranty, You must promptly notify Passageways in writing in reasonable detail describing the alleged breach. In the event Passageways is unable to substantially correct such deficiencies after good faith efforts and at a commercially reasonable cost within thirty (30) days of Your notification of such non-conformance, You, as Your exclusive remedy for the breach and failure of Passageways to correct the same, shall have the right to terminate the Agreement and receive from Passageways the prepaid but unused portion of the Subscription Fee for the then- current Subscription Term (prorated based on the number of whole months left in the then-current Subscription Term).
10.5 Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN, AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ONBOARD EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND GUARANTEES WITH RESPECT TO ONBOARD AND THE SERVICES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW, CUSTOM, PRIOR ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR STATEMENTS REGARDING CAPACITY OR SUITABILITY OR PERFORMANCE OF ONBOARD AND THE SERVICES.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, PASSAGEWAYS DOES NOT GUARANTEE, REPRESENT, OR WARRANT THAT YOUR USE OF ONBOARD WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OR BE FREE FROM LOSS, CORRUPTION, ATTACK, VIRUSES, INTERFERENCE, HACKING, OR OTHER SECURITY INTRUSION, AND YOU AGREE THAT PASSAGEWAYS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU RELATING THERETO.
11. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall either Party, its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, or licensors be liable to the other Party for any indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages related to use of OnBoard, or for any damages for loss of profits, business interruption, harm to any computer system, or any other commercial damages or losses, regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, or otherwise), even if the other Party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Except as otherwise provided herein, Passageways’ total cumulative liability for damages, expenses, costs, liability or losses to You or any User arising out of or in connection with use of OnBoard or any other matter under this Agreement is limited to restitution of the amount prepaid by You for OnBoard for the annual Term in which Your alleged damage, expense, cost, liability or loss accrues.
12. Indemnification
12.1 By Passageways. Passageways shall defend and indemnify You and Your Users against any claim, suit, action or proceeding against You or Your Users alleging (a) that OnBoard, as used by You or Your Users in the manner and for the purposes authorized in this Agreement, infringes a valid U.S. patent or copyright or (b) harm caused by any grossly negligent, unlawful, willful or intentional act or omission by Passageways.

An indemnifying Party will select counsel for defense of the indemnified claim and direct and control the defense. Provided the indemnifying Party is diligently conducting such defense, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any attorney’s fees of the indemnified Party. The indemnifying Party must obtain the indemnified Party’s consent to any settlement (said consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except that no such consent shall be required if the settlement or compromise requires no payment of damages by the indemnified Party and does not admit any liability or determination against the indemnified Party or materially restrict the indemnified Party.
13. Solicitation of Personnel
If during the Subscription Term, either Party hires a current employee of the other Party, the hiring Party will pay the other Party a recruitment fee equal to two times (2x) the hired employee’s annual salary with the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may solicit and hire such persons through public advertisements that are not primarily targeted at such persons.
14. General Provisions
14.1 Relationship of the Parties. The Parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the Parties.

Notices to Passageways shall be addressed to the attention of its President. Notices to You shall be addressed to Your signatory of this Agreement unless otherwise designated below.
14.3 Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that right.

Other than as expressly stated herein, the remedies provided herein are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other remedies of a Party at law or in equity.
14.4 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited and unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provisions in any other jurisdiction. If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the Parties.
14.5 Assignment.

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.
14.6 Force Majeure. If either Party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by Force Majeure (as defined below) to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, that Party shall give to the other Party prompt notice of the force majeure with reasonably full particulars concerning it. Thereupon the obligations of the Party giving notice, so far as they are affected by the Force Majeure, shall be suspended during, but no longer than, the continuance of the Force Majeure. The affected Party shall use all reasonable diligence to remove the Force Majeure as quickly as possible. The term “Force Majeure” shall mean an act of God, strike, industrial disturbance, act of the public enemy, war, blockage, public riot, lightning, fire, storm, flood, failure of utilities, failure of internet or hosting facilities, any unauthorized server or computer violation or other security violation, explosion, governmental restraint, or any other cause, whether of the kind specifically enumerated above or otherwise, which is not reasonably within the control of the Party claiming suspension. If a Party cannot perform under this Agreement for a period of thirty (30) or more consecutive days, the other Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice given prior to any re-commencement of performance. This Section shall not excuse any non-payment of monies or fees owed from one Party to the other.
14.7 Governing Law. OnBoard is operated by Passageways from its offices in Indiana, USA. This Agreement and Your use of OnBoard are governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive law (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of Indiana.

This Agreement and the Purchase Agreement shall be interpreted to be consistent with one another.

Each party acknowledges that it is not entering into the Agreement based on any representations not expressly contained herein. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts.
