Without limiting the foregoing, Customer’s 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.

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 6. 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, and in no event shall it use less than a reasonable degree of care.
6.3 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.
6.4 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.

7.2 Overdue Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the applicable Purchase Agreement, invoiced amounts (excluding amounts subject to good faith dispute), if not paid within thirty days (30) of the date of the invoice (the “Due Date”), are past due and may accrue, at OnBoard’s 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 Due Date. In addition, Customer shall be responsible for reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs of collection in the event of nonpayment by the Due Date.

Without limiting the foregoing, Customer is responsible for payment of taxes levied on transactions with OnBoard, including sales, use, value added taxes and any other similar taxes, import fees, and custom duties of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by Customer, other than any taxes imposed on OnBoard’s income. In the event any amounts due to OnBoard are subject to withholding imposed by a government authority, such amount will be remitted by Customer to the appropriate taxing authority for the benefit of OnBoard. Customer will reasonably cooperate with OnBoard to provide information and records as OnBoard may require in connection with any application by OnBoard to any governmental taxing authority.
7.4 Non-Payment and Suspension of Services. If Customer’s Account is not paid current by the Due Date in addition to any of its other rights or remedies under this Agreement or by applicable law, OnBoard reserves the right to suspend access to the Services, but only if such past due account is not paid within five (5) business days after written notice of OnBoard’s intent to exercise its right to suspend hereunder.
8. Term
8.1 Term of Agreement and Subscription. This Agreement and the Subscription commence on the Effective Date and will continue for the period specified on Customer’s Purchase Agreement (“Initial Subscription Term”) and will automatically renew for consecutive one-year terms (each a “Renewal Subscription Term” and together the “Subscription Term”) unless Customer or OnBoard provide the other written notice of termination no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Subscription Term. OnBoard may implement revised Subscription Fees, in excess of the annual increment referenced in Customer’s Purchase Agreement(s), for the next Renewal Term by giving written notice of such price changes to Customer at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the current Subscription Year, and that pricing will take effect as an update to the Purchase Agreement unless Customer elects not to renew this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.1.
8.2 Early Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party prior to the end of the Subscription Term as follows: (a) in the event that a 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 breaching Party, (b) by Customer in accordance with Section 9.3, (c) in accordance with Section 11.1, and (d) Section 13.8.
8.3 Post Termination Obligations. Termination of this Agreement shall not limit either Party from pursuing any remedies available to it, including injunctive relief. Agreement termination, other than by Customer in accordance with Section 8.2, shall not relieve Customer of Customer’s obligation to pay the entire Subscription Fee for the applicable Subscription Term and all other applicable fees, if any, due to OnBoard for the use of the Services. Following any termination of this Agreement by Customer pursuant to Section 8.2(a), Section 9.3, or Section 11.1, Customer shall only be responsible for payment of a prorated portion of the Subscription Fee calculated as the fraction of the Subscription Year prior to the effective date of such termination.

OnBoard will retain Customer’s Posted Content a minimum of thirty (30) days following the Termination Date, after which the Customer acknowledges that OnBoard will have no responsibility to retain or return Customer’s Posted Content and may delete or otherwise dispose of such Posted Content without further notice.

11.1 By OnBoard.

If Customer’s or Customer’s Users use of OnBoard results in an indemnification claim, OnBoard may at its sole discretion secure the right for Customer to continue using the items in question or replace or modify them to make them non-infringing. If these options are not commercially reasonable as determined in OnBoard’s sole discretion, then the Customer may terminate the Agreement and receive from OnBoard 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).
11.2 By Customer.

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 written 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.
12. Beta Services
OnBoard may, from time to time, make Beta Services available to the Customer at no charge. Customer may choose to try such Beta Services at Customer’s sole discretion and will not require a Purchase Agreement to enable access or use.

Beta Services are not considered part of Customer’s OnBoard subscription or Services, however, all Customer obligations shall apply to Customer’s use of the Beta Services, including Section 3.4 Access Methods, Section 5.2 Commitments and Restrictions, Section 5.4 Customer’s Responsibilities. OnBoard may discontinue Beta Services at any time in its sole discretion. BETA SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”, EXCLUSIVE OF ANY WARRANTY, OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ONBOARD SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF ANY TYPE WITH RESPECT TO BETA SERVICES.

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.
13.7 Assignment. Neither Party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement in its entirety, without consent of the other Party, in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets not involving a direct competitor of the other Party. Any attempt by a Party to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement in breach of this Section shall be void and of no effect. This Agreement will be legally binding on and benefit both Parties, as well as their legitimate successors and assignees.
13.8 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 due to a Force Majeure event for a period of thirty (30) or more consecutive days, the other Party may terminate this Agreement without further obligation upon written notice given prior to any re-commencement of performance. If OnBoard is the Party experiencing the Force Majeure event and, as a result, is unable to provide the Services for such period, and Customer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.8, then OnBoard will refund Customer prepaid Subscription Fees on a prorated basis as of the date the Force Majeure event commenced. This Section shall not excuse any non-payment of monies or fees owed from one Party to the other.
13.9 Governing Law. OnBoard and Services are operated by OnBoard from its offices in Indiana, USA. This Agreement and Customer’s use of the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive law (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of Indiana.
13.10 Litigation Venue. Customer expressly agrees that courts of competent jurisdiction located in Indiana shall have personal jurisdiction over Customer for any action by or against OnBoard arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and/or use of the Services, and courts of competent jurisdiction located in Marion County, Indiana shall be the sole and exclusive venue for any such action.
13.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Purchase Agreement and any schedules and exhibits, represents the entire agreement between the Parties, and expressly supersedes and cancels any prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements on the subjects herein. This Agreement and the Purchase Agreement shall be interpreted to be consistent with one another. In the event there is an irreconcilable inconsistency between this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, the terms of the Purchase Agreement shall control. Each party acknowledges that it is not entering into the Agreement based on any representations not expressly contained herein. Any amendment to this Agreement must be in writing and executed by both Parties.
13.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which taken together shall form one legal instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart signature page of this Agreement by facsimile, email, or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
