Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order Form, (i) fees are based on Services purchased and not actual usage, (ii) payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, and (iii) quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term.
5.2. Invoicing and Payment. If paying by credit card, You will provide Us with valid and updated credit card information, or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to Us. If You provide credit card information to Us, You authorize Us to charge such credit card for all purchased Services listed in the Order Form for the initial Subscription Term and any renewal subscription term(s) as set forth in Section 11.1 (Term of Purchased Subscriptions). Such charges shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order Form. If the Order Form specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, We will invoice You in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, invoiced charges are due net 30 days from the invoice date. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Us and notifying Us of any changes to such information. HRM reserves the right to increase Fees at any time, although increases in Fees for HRM Services will not go into effect until the next renewal of the Subscription Term. In the absence of specific provisions in the applicable Order Form(s) agreed to by Client, (i) fees for one-time Services (e.g., set-up and Training Services) are due upon acceptance of any Order Form(s) and prior to delivery of the applicable Service, (ii) recurring fees (e.g., fees for Hosting Services) begin on the Activation Date, and shall be payable monthly in advance and due in full on the first day of each month, and (iii) fees that are variable and dependent on actual usage (e.g., per-transaction fees) shall be billed monthly in arrears and due upon receipt.
5.3. Overdue Charges. Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, If any invoiced amount is not received by Us by the due date, then without limiting Our rights or remedies, (a) those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.0% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, and/or (b) We may condition future subscription renewals and Order Forms on payment terms shorter than those specified in Section 5.2 (Invoicing and Payment).
5.4. Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owing by You under this or any other agreement for Our services is 45 or more days overdue (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts You have authorized Us to charge to Your credit card), We may, without limiting Our other rights and remedies, accelerate Your unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Our services to You until such amounts are paid in full. We will give You at least 10 days’ prior notice that Your account is overdue, in accordance with Section 12.6 (Notice), before suspending services to You.
5.5. Taxes. Our 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”). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Your purchases hereunder. If We have the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which You are responsible under this Section 5.5, We will invoice You and You will pay that amount unless You provide Us with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, We are solely responsible for taxes assessable against Us based on Our income, property and employees.

In any future Subscription Term, the Fees will reflect any such Subscription Upgrades.

If the Receiving Party is required to produce the Confidential Information by law, governmental proceeding or court order, the Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information without liability hereunder; provided, however, before producing any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party promptly of any such proceeding or court order in order to provide the Disclosing Party with a reasonable amount of time so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive the Receiving Party’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that the Disclosing Party grants a waiver hereunder, the Receiving Party may furnish that portion of the Confidential Information which it is legally required by applicable law to disclose and will reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party’s efforts, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, to obtain confidential treatment of the Confidential Information so furnished.
7.4. Return of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement and at any time upon the Disclosing Party’s option or request, the Receiving Party shall immediately return all Confidential Information provided by the Disclosing Party, and destroy all information developed therefrom, from which the Confidential Information is revealed or could be ascertained.

7.5. Period. The period for disclosing Confidential Information under this Agreement shall begin on the Activation Date and shall expire upon expiration of the Subscription Term, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 11.2 of this Agreement. The nondisclosure obligations and restrictions on use of the Confidential Information under this Agreement shall continue for a period of five (5) years from the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement.
7.6. Injunctive Relief. Each Party acknowledges that the other Party’s Confidential Information is an important asset of such Party and/or its Affiliates and that the Disclosing Party and/or its Affiliates shall likely suffer irreparable harm as a result of a breach of this Section 7.6. Therefore, the Parties agree that the Disclosing Party and/or its Affiliates shall be entitled to pursue equitable relief, including temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the obligation of posting a bond (cash or otherwise), in the event of actual or threatened unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information in breach of this Section 7.6.
7.7. Ownership. The Receiving Party acknowledges that the Disclosing Party (or any third party entrusting its own confidential information to the Disclosing Party) claims ownership of the Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, or arising from, such Confidential Information. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no option, license, or conveyance of such rights to the Receiving Party is granted or implied under this Agreement and if any such rights are to be granted to the Receiving Party, such grant shall be expressly set forth in a separate written instrument.
7.8. Ownership of Client Data.

7.10. Suggestions. The obligations of set forth in this Section 7 shall not apply to any suggestions and feedback for product or service improvement, correction, or modification provided by Client in connection with any present or future HRM product or service, and, accordingly, neither HRM nor any of its clients or business partners shall have any obligation or liability to Client with respect to any use or disclosure of such information. In addition, subject to any limitations imposed by HIPAA, with Client’s consent (which is hereby given), HRM may use internet/website analytics software tools and programs that collect, transmit, store, disclose and analyze certain information about the actual use of the Hosted Services by Clients (such as, but not limited to, pages viewed, links clicked, help functions used and other workflow information); such information shall not be considered Confidential Information hereunder and may be used by HRM for the purpose of license administration, error resolution and product analysis and improvement.

Both Parties shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Party and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, contractors and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, suits, proceedings, investigations or actions (collectively, “Claims”) and all resulting losses payable to third parties, settlements, judgments, awards, damages payable to third parties, and any and all legal, accounting and other fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, mitigating or defending any such Claims (collectively, “Losses”), to the extent such Losses are sustained or incurred by any of them and arise out of: a) willful misconduct of the Party or its personnel; or b) any third party claim for negligence, gross negligence, or products liability caused by the actions or inactions of those of the Party’s officers, employees, agents, and contractors; except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Indemnified Parties.
9.2. Indemnification by Us. We will defend You against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against You by a third party alleging that the use of a Purchased Service in accordance with this Agreement infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights (a “Claim Against You”), except for infringement or misappropriation Claims Against You that would not have arisen but for addition or use of subject matter not provided by Us or to the extent caused by misuse of the Services by You, and will indemnify You from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against You as a result of, or for amounts paid by You under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim Against You, provided You (a) promptly give Us written notice of the Claim Against You, (b) give Us sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against You (except that We may not settle any Claim Against You unless it unconditionally releases You of all liability), and (c) give Us all reasonable assistance, at Our expense. If We receive information about an infringement or misappropriation claim related to a Service, We may in Our discretion and at no cost to You (i) modify the Service so that it no longer infringes or misappropriates, without breaching Our warranties under Section 8.2(Our Warranties), (ii) obtain a license for Your continued use of that Service in accordance with this Agreement, or (iii) terminate Your subscriptions for that Service upon 30 days’ written notice and refund You any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of the terminated subscriptions.

You will defend Us against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against Us by a third party alleging that Your Data, or Your use of any Service in breach of this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights or violates applicable law (a “Claim Against Us”), and will indemnify Us from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Us as a result of, or for any amounts paid by Us under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim Against Us, provided We (a) promptly give You written notice of the Claim Against Us, (b) give You sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against Us (except that You may not settle any Claim Against Us unless it unconditionally releases Us of all liability), and (c) give You all reasonable assistance, at Your expense.
9.4. Exclusive Remedy. This Section 9 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 10.
9.5. Allocation of Risk. Client acknowledges and agrees that HRM has set its prices and entered into this Agreement and permitted Client’s subscription to the HRM Services in reliance upon the disclaimers of warranty and the limitations of liability in this Agreement, that the same reflect an allocation of risk between HRM and Client (including the risk that a contract remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same form an essential basis of the bargain between HRM and Client. If Client is subject to Applicable Laws that prohibit Client from indemnifying HRM as set forth herein or prohibit Client from entering into the risk allocation arrangement set forth herein, then (a) the terms of such provisions of this Agreement shall apply to Client only to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, it being understood that Client and HRM each wish to enforce the provisions of this Agreement to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law; and (b) Client must, within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the Subscription Term, notify HRM via email (directed to legal@layercompliance.com) to specifically identify the Applicable Laws that apply to Client and the resulting modifications to the risk allocation and indemnification provisions of this Agreement as a result of the application of such Applicable Laws.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
10.1. Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY'S LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SINGLE INCIDENT ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER HEREUNDER IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE INCIDENT, PROVIDED THAT IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER HEREUNDER. THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY. HOWEVER, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS WILL NOT LIMIT CUSTOMER'S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 5 (FEES AND PAYMENT FOR PURCHASED SERVICES).

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL UNDERSTAND BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, CORRUPTION OR LOSS OF DATA, FAILURE TO TRANSMIT OR RECEIVE ANY DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, HOWEVER CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF UNDERSTAND HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Client shall be liable for (and Client hereby waives any and all liability and claims which Client may have against HRM for), (i) any inaccuracy in Client Data provided by Client, (ii) the consequences of any instructions Client may give to HRM, (iii) maintaining and backing up any Client Data, and (iv) Client’s failure to protect user account names and passwords.

In connection with use of the Hosted Services and the Third Party Services, HRM may provide or make available to Client certain templates and forms.

HRM shall not have any liability under the Agreement for any disclosure or modification of Client Data, or for any consequences that may arise from such modifications (including, but not limited to, incorrectly modified or lost data), as a result of disclosure by Client of user IDs or passwords, any breach of this Agreement by Client, or any negligence by Client, its employees, agents or representatives.
11. TERM AND TERMINATION
11.1. Term of Purchased Subscriptions. The term of each subscription shall be as specified in the applicable Order Form. Except as otherwise specified in an Order Form, subscriptions will automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring subscription term or one year (whichever is shorter), unless either party gives the other notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the end of the relevant subscription term. The per-unit pricing during any renewal term will be the same as that during the immediately prior term unless We have given You written notice of a pricing increase at least 60 days before the end of that prior term, in which case the pricing increase will be effective 60 days thereafter.
11.2. Termination. In addition to the Party’s other termination rights and remedies specified in this Agreement: a) Either Party may immediately terminate this Agreement at any time by providing notice in writing to the other Party of termination where the other Party has committed a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and such other Party fails to cure such material breach within thirty (30) business days of receiving notice of such material breach from the non-defaulting Party and a demand for cure; b) Either Party may terminate this Agreement, upon written notice and without judicial or administrative resolution, if the other Party becomes judicially declared insolvent or enters into bankruptcy, suspension of payments, moratorium, reorganization or any other proceeding that relates to insolvency or protection of creditors’ rights; c) In the event Your use of the Services or any portion thereof is held at law to constitute a violation of applicable Laws, HRM, at its sole discretion, can terminate this Agreement; d) HRM may suspend or terminate the Agreement immediately in the event of any wrongful or unauthorized access to or use of the Hosted Services or the Third Party Services by Client or other third party; e) If specified on the Order Form as “30-Day Cancellation,” Client may terminate this Agreement by providing notice in writing to HRM of Client’s intent to terminate this Agreement within thirty (30) calendar days of the Subscription Start Date of the first subscription term; and f) if the Subscription Term is longer than 12 months, Client may terminate this agreement for any reason by providing notice in writing to HRM of Client’s intent to terminate this Agreement thirty (30) calendar days before the annual anniversary date of the Subscription Start Date subject to the early termination penalty as specified in the Order Form. Termination of this Agreement shall not prejudice or affect any right of action or remedy that has accrued or will accrue to any Party hereto due to a Party’s acts or omissions prior to the effective date of such termination. The termination rights in this Section 11 shall be in addition and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies available to a party hereunder, at law or in equity.
11.3. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of the Agreement, access to and use of the Hosted Services shall be terminated. Termination of the Agreement (i) shall not relieve any party from any liability that may have arisen prior to such termination, nor shall such relieve Client of its obligation to pay all fees that have accrued or are otherwise owed by Client under the Agreement, and any unpaid fees related to the initial term or any renewal term, and (ii) shall not limit either party from pursuing other remedies available to it, including injunctive relief. Upon any termination of the Agreement, HRM shall have the right to maintain a copy of all Client Data in accordance with, and for the period of time it determines is required or permitted by, applicable law.
11.4. Refund or Payment Upon Termination. You may receive a full refund as allowed under the “30-Day Cancellation” term specified on your Order Form and 11.2(e) if you terminate within thirty (30) calendar days of the Subscription Start Date of the first subscription term. If you terminate after the 30th day but before expiration of the Agreement's Service Term, a refund will not be authorized. No refund is authorized if the Order Form does not specify “30-Day Cancellation”. Upon termination in accordance with Section 11.2(e), HRM will refund Client any prepaid fees covering the current term of all Order Forms, based upon the Client’s payment terms in place at the time of the termination. In no event will termination relieve Client of Client’s obligation to pay any fees payable to HRM for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
11.5. Your Data Portability and Deletion. Before expiration or termination of the applicable Subscription Term, HRM recommends that Client ensures it places a copy of its User Data in a place that can be accessed without the HRM Service. Upon request by You made within 30 days after the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, We will make Your Data available to You for export or download. After that 30-day period, We will have no obligation to maintain or provide Your Data, and may thereafter delete or destroy all copies of Your Data in Our systems or otherwise in Our possession or control, unless legally prohibited.
11.6. Surviving Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement that contemplates performance or observance subsequent to termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement and continue in full force and effect. The rights and obligations of the parties hereto set forth in The Sections titled "Fees and Payment for Purchase Services," "Proprietary Rights and Licenses," "Confidentiality," "Disclaimers," "Mutual Indemnification," "Limitation of Liability, "Portability and Deletion of Your Data," and "General Provisions" inclusive, of this Agreement, and any other provisions hereof that by their nature are intended to survive, shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.
12. GENERAL PROVISIONS
12.1. Entire Agreement and Order of Precedence. This Agreement is the entire agreement between You and Us regarding Your use of Services and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. The parties agree that any term or condition stated in Your purchase order or in any other of Your order documentation (excluding Order Forms) is void. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence shall be: (1) the applicable Order Form, (2) this Agreement, and (3) the Documentation.
12.2. Assignment. HRM may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under the Agreement to a third party. Client may not assign the Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of HRM, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; any such assignment without the prior consent of HRM shall be void. HRM may use subcontractors to perform Services under this Agreement; provided, however, that such subcontracting shall not relieve HRM from responsibility for performance of its duties hereunder. HRM shall be responsible for all acts and omissions of its subcontractors hereunder and for the performance of all of its obligations under this Agreement irrespective of any subcontracting by HRM hereunder.
12.3. Third-Party Beneficiaries. No term or provision of this Agreement is intended to be, or shall be, for the benefit of any person, firm, organization or corporation not a party hereto, and no such third party shall have any right or cause of action hereunder.
12.4. Waiver. No delay or omission by either party to exercise any right or power will impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. A waiver by any party of any of the covenants, conditions, or contracts to be performed by the other or any breach thereof shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any other covenant, condition, or contract herein contained. No change, waiver, or discharge hereof shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the party against which such change, waiver, or discharge is sought to be enforced.
12.5. Controlling law and severability. This Agreement and any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S.A, without reference to conflict-of-laws principles and excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If and to the extent any provision of this Agreement is held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable law, such provision or such portion thereof shall be ineffective as to the jurisdiction in which it is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable to the extent of its illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability and shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties. The illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of such provision in that jurisdiction shall not in any way affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
12.6. Notice. Any notice, request, approval, authorization, consent, demand or other communication required or permitted to be given to a party pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given on the earliest of (a) actual receipt, irrespective of the method of delivery, (b) on the delivery day following dispatch if sent by express mail (or similar next day air courier service), or (c) on the sixth (6th) day after mailing by registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed to HRM, Attn: CAEK Legal Department, 200 S.

12.7. Complete Agreement; Governing Language. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the use of the Services licensed hereunder and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings regarding such subject matter, with the exception of any additional terms and conditions you are required to accept if you choose to use a Service, which will govern your use of that Service and any content you purchase through that Service. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement will be binding unless in writing and signed by HRM. No term or provision hereof will be considered waived, and no breach excused, unless such waiver is in writing signed on behalf of the party against whom the waiver is asserted. No waiver (whether express or implied) will constitute a consent to, waiver of, or excuse of any other different or subsequent breach. The English language version of this Agreement is legally binding in case of any inconsistencies between the English version and any translations.
12.8. Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary: if and to the extent that a Party’s performance of any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement is prevented, hindered or delayed directly or indirectly by fires, floods, earthquakes, elements of nature, acts of God, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions in the United States, strikes/labor difficulties, electronic virus, electronic attack or infiltration, internet or wireless access disturbance, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), and such non-performance, hindrance or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions, then the non performing, hindered or delayed Party shall be excused for such non-performance, hindrance or delay, as applicable, of those obligations affected by the Force Majeure Event for as long as the Force Majeure Event continues and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 12.9, such Party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay, including through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means. The Party whose performance is prevented, hindered or delayed by a Force Majeure Event shall notify the other Party as soon as reasonably possible of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event and describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Force Majeure Event and plan for resuming its performance. If any Force Majeure Event continues for a period in excess of ninety days, the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective upon notice. In the event of any such delay or failure, the affected party shall send written notice of the delay or failure and the reason thereof to the other party within fourteen (14) calendar days from the time the affected party knew or should have known of the Force Majeure in question.
