3. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

SCOPE OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.

HYPERVIEW will provide to Customer the Professional Services specified in each SOW or Order Form (as applicable), subject to Customer’s payment of all applicable fees as set forth in the “Fees” section of this Agreement.

RELATIONSHIP TO ONLINE SERVICES.

This Agreement is limited to Professional Services and does not convey any right to use Online Services. Any use of Online Services by Customer will be governed by a separate agreement. Customer agrees that its purchase of Professional Services is not contingent on the delivery of any future Online Service functionality or features, other than Deliverables, subject to the terms of the applicable SOW or Order Form, or on any oral or written public comments by HYPERVIEW regarding future Online Service functionality or features.

4. CUSTOMER COOPERATION

COOPERATION.

Customer will cooperate reasonably and in good faith with HYPERVIEW in its performance of Professional Services by, without limitation:

a) allocating sufficient resources and timely performing any tasks reasonably necessary to enable HYPERVIEW to perform its obligations under each SOW or Order Form;

b) timely delivering any Customer deliverables and other obligations required under each SOW or Order Form;

c) timely responding to HYPERVIEW’s inquiries related to the Professional Services;

d) assigning an internal project manager for each SOW or Order Form to serve as a primary point of contact for HYPERVIEW;

e) actively participating in scheduled project meetings;

f) providing, in a timely manner and at no charge to HYPERVIEW, office workspace, telephone and other facilities, suitably configured computer equipment with Internet access, access to appropriate and knowledgeable employees and agents of Customer, and continuous administrative access to Customer’s Online Service account, and coordination of onsite, online and telephonic meetings all as reasonably required by HYPERVIEW ; and

g) complete, accurate and timely information, data and feedback all as reasonably required.

DELAYS.

Any delays in the performance of Professional Services or delivery of Deliverables caused by Customer may result in additional applicable charges for resource time.

5. DELIVERY, ACCEPTANCE AND CHANGE ORDERS

DELIVERY OF SERVICES.

HYPERVIEW will provide the Professional Services, including any Deliverables, in accordance with the Agreement and the applicable SOWs or Order Forms.

ACCEPTANCE.

Upon completion of each Deliverable under an SOW or Order Form, HYPERVIEW will, as applicable: (a) submit a complete copy to Customer; and (b) at Customer’s request, demonstrate its functionality to Customer. Customer is responsible for reviewing and testing all Deliverables in accordance with such SOW or Order Form pursuant to any acceptance criteria or test plans mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties for such Deliverable. Customer will provide HYPERVIEW with written notification of acceptance for each Deliverable promptly upon acceptance; however, failure to reject a Deliverable, as set forth below, will be deemed acceptance. If Customer, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, determines that any submitted Deliverable does not satisfy the agreed-upon acceptance criteria as specified in the applicable SOW or as mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties for such Deliverable, Customer must so notify HYPERVIEW in writing within 10 business days after HYPERVIEW’s submission of the Deliverable, specifying the deficiencies in detail. HYPERVIEW will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct such deficiencies and resubmit the Deliverable to Customer as soon as practicable. Customer will again review and test the Deliverable against the agreed-upon acceptance criteria, and detail any deficiencies to HYPERVIEW in writing within 10 business days after resubmission of the Deliverable. If a Deliverable fails to meet the functional requirements specified in the applicable SOW or Order Form after its second resubmission to Customer, Customer may either, as its sole and exclusive remedy: (i) again reject the Deliverable and return it to HYPERVIEW for further correction and resubmission in accordance with the process described above (if the Deliverable is not accepted after two resubmissions, the matter will be escalated to Customer’s executive sponsor for the project associated with the SOW or Order Form and the HYPERVIEW Engagement Manager) or (ii) terminate the relevant SOW or Order Form immediately upon written notice and recover all Professional Services fees paid under such SOW or Order Form for such deficient Deliverable. If the parties determine that a Deliverable’s functional requirements specified in a SOW or Order Form require modification (for example, due to incorrect assumptions or changed requirements), they will cooperate in good faith to execute a Change Order for such revised requirements.

NO EFFECT ON WARRANTY REMEDIES.

Acceptance of Professional Services, including a Deliverable, will not affect Customer’s rights or remedies under the “Warranty” section below.

CHANGE ORDERS.

Changes to a SOW or Order Form will require a written Change Order signed by the parties prior to implementation of the changes. Such changes may include, for example, changes to the scope of work and any corresponding changes to the estimated fees and schedule.

6. FEES, INVOICING AND TAXES

FEES.

Customer will pay HYPERVIEW for the Professional Services at the rates specified in the applicable SOW or Order Form, or if no rate is specified in the SOW or Order Form, HYPERVIEW’s standard rates in effect at the time the SOW or Order Form is executed. Professional Services are provided on either a time-and-materials or fixed fee basis, as provided in an SOW or Order Form. Any amount set forth in a time-and-materials SOW is solely a good-faith estimate for Customer’s budgeting and HYPERVIEW’s resource scheduling purposes and is not a guarantee that the work will be completed for that amount; the actual amount may be higher or lower. If the estimated amount is expended, HYPERVIEW will continue to provide Professional Services under the same rates and terms. HYPERVIEW will periodically update Customer on the status of the Professional Services and the fees accrued under SOWs or Order Forms.

INCIDENTAL EXPENSES.

Customer will reimburse HYPERVIEW for reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Professional Services. If an estimate of incidental expenses is provided in the applicable SOW or Order Form, HYPERVIEW will not exceed such estimate without the written consent of Customer.

INVOICING AND PAYMENT.

Charges for time-and-materials engagements will be invoiced monthly in arrears unless otherwise expressly stated in the applicable SOW or Order Form. Charges for fixed fee engagements will be invoiced in advance in the manner as provided in the SOW or Order Form, as applicable, unless otherwise expressly stated therein. Invoiced amounts will be due and payable net 30 days from the invoice date. Customer is responsible for providing HYPERVIEW with its complete and accurate billing and contact information and notifying HYPERVIEW of any changes to such information.

OVERDUE CHARGES.

Subject to the “Payment Disputes” section, if any invoiced amount is not received by HYPERVIEW by the due date, then without limiting HYPERVIEW’s rights or remedies, (a) those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, and/or (b) HYPERVIEW may condition future purchases of Professional Services on payment terms shorter than those specified in the “Invoicing and Payment” section.

SUSPENSION OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.

Subject to the “Payment Disputes” section, if any amount owing by Customer under this or any other agreement for HYPERVIEW’s Professional Services is 30 days or more overdue, HYPERVIEW may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend its performance of Professional Services until such amounts are paid in full.

PAYMENT DISPUTES.

HYPERVIEW will not exercise its rights under the “Overdue Charges” or “Suspension of Professional Services” sections above if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.

TAXES.

HYPERVIEW’s fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. If HYPERVIEW has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, HYPERVIEW will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount, unless Customer provides HYPERVIEW with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, HYPERVIEW is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.

 

7. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSES

CUSTOMER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

Customer does not grant to HYPERVIEW any rights in or to Customer’s intellectual property except such licenses as may be required for HYPERVIEW to perform its obligations hereunder.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

As between the parties, each party retains all ownership rights in and to its Confidential Information.

LICENSE FOR CONTRACT PROPERTY.

Upon Customer’s payment of fees due under an applicable SOW or Order Form, HYPERVIEW grants Customer a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to copy, maintain, use and run (as applicable) solely for its internal business purposes associated with its use of HYPERVIEW’s online and offline services anything developed by HYPERVIEW for Customer, including Deliverables, under this Agreement (“Contract Property”). HYPERVIEW and Customer each retains all right, title and interest in its respective intellectual property and HYPERVIEW retains all ownership rights in the Contract Property.

8. CONFIDENTIALITY

DEFINITION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

“Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of each party includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all SOWs or Order Forms (including pricing), as well as business and marketing plans, strategies, data, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does 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 without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.

PROTECTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any SOW or Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this “Confidentiality” section.

COMPELLED DISCLOSURE.

The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.

 

9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND DISCLAIMERS

REPRESENTATIONS.

Each party represents that it has validly entered into this Agreement and has the legal power to do so.

WARRANTY.

HYPERVIEW warrants that the Professional Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with generally accepted industry standards. For any breach of the above warranty, Customer’s exclusive remedy and HYPERVIEW’s entire liability will be the re-performance of the applicable Professional Services. If HYPERVIEW is unable to re-perform the Professional Services as warranted, Customer will be entitled to recover the Professional Services fees paid to HYPERVIEW for the deficient Professional Services. Customer must make any claim under the foregoing warranty to HYPERVIEW in writing within 90 days of performance of such Professional Services in order to receive warranty remedies.

DISCLAIMER.

THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY OTHER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AND EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

10. INDEMNIFICATION

INDEMNIFICATION BY HYPERVIEW

HYPERVIEW will defend Customer against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding (“Claim”) made or brought against Customer by a third party arising out of death, personal injury or damage to tangible property to the extent caused by HYPERVIEW personnel in their performance of the Professional Services, and will indemnify Customer for any damages, attorneys fees and costs finally awarded against Customer as a result of, or for amounts paid by Customer under a settlement approved in writing by HYPERVIEW of, any such Claim, all of the foregoing to the extent caused by HYPERVIEW personnel, provided that Customer: (a) promptly gives HYPERVIEW written notice of the Claim; (b) gives HYPERVIEW sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (except that HYPERVIEW may not settle any Claim unless it unconditionally releases Customer of all liability); and (c) gives HYPERVIEW all reasonable assistance, at HYPERVIEW’s cost. The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply to the extent a Claim arises from Customer’s breach of this Agreement or applicable SOWs or Order Forms.

MUTUAL INDEMNITY.

Each party (the “Provider”) will defend the other party (the “Recipient”) against any Claim made or brought against the Recipient by a third party alleging that any information, design, specification, instruction, software, data or material furnished by the Provider hereunder (“Material”) infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights, and will indemnify the Recipient from any damages, attorneys fees and costs finally awarded against the Recipient as a result of, or for amounts paid by Recipient under a settlement approved in writing by Provider of, any such Claim, provided that the Recipient: (a) promptly gives the Provider written notice of the Claim; (b) gives the Provider sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (except that the Provider may not settle any Claim unless it unconditionally releases the Recipient of all liability); and (c) gives the Provider all reasonable assistance, at the Provider’s cost. The Provider will have no liability for any such Claim to the extent that (i) it arises from specifications or other Material provided by the other party, or (ii) such claim is based on the Recipient’s use of a superseded or altered version of Material if infringement or misappropriation would have been avoided by the use of a subsequent or unaltered version of the Material that was provided to the Recipient. In the event that some or all of the Material is held or is reasonably believed by the Provider to infringe or misappropriate, the Provider may in its discretion and at no cost to the Recipient (A) modify or replace the Material so it is no longer claimed to infringe or misappropriate, (B) obtain a license for the Recipient’s continued use of the Material in accordance with this Agreement, or (C) require return of the affected Material and all rights thereto from the Recipient. If the Provider exercises option (C), either party may terminate the relevant SOW or Order Form upon 10 days’ written notice given within 30 days after the Provider’s exercise of such option, subject to the “Payment Upon Termination” section below.

EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.

This “Indemnification” section states the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of Claim described in this section.

 

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EACH PARTY TOGETHER WITH ALL OF ITS AFFILIATES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER AND ITS AFFILIATES HEREUNDER FOR THE STATEMENT OF WORK OR ORDER FORM OUT OF WHICH THE LIABILITY AROSE. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION WILL APPLY WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, BUT WILL NOT LIMIT CUSTOMER’S AND ITS AFFILIATES’ PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE “FEES AND PAYMENT” SECTION.

EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND RELATED DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, GOODWILL, OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL COVER, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT, AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF A PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR IF A PARTY’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’ REMEDY OTHERWISE FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

In the event that Customer terminates an SOW or Order Form for cause and Customer has pre-paid any fees for Professional Services not yet received, HYPERVIEW will refund such pre-paid fees.

WAIVER.

No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of that right.

If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be deemed null and void, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect.

ASSIGNMENT.

Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), provided however, either party may assign this Agreement in its entirety (including all SOWs or Order Forms, as applicable), without the other party’s consent, to its Affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party is acquired by, sells substantially all of its assets to, or undergoes a change of control in favor of, a direct competitor of the other party, then such other party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice.
