4. SUBSCRIPTION FEES, BILLING AND RENEWAL
A. Paid Subscription. By subscribing to the Services directly with Us pursuant to a purchase order subject to Our written acceptance or other form of contract, you expressly agree to pay subscription fees, corresponding to your subscription plan, plus any applicable taxes and duties, if any. During any Period that you remain in good standing, We will, unless either Party gives the other written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the end of the initial term or any renewal term, automatically renew for an additional Period equal to the expiring Period (each as defined below).
(i) Your Subscription. Fees are billed by Us as of the Service commencement date for the entire initial subscription Period (at least twelve months as set forth on the order form for the Services (the “Initial Period”)) of the subscription and for each additional renewal Period of the same length (a “Renewal Period”), for the initial minimum commitment of Reporting Units specified in the applicable subscription contract or purchase order, net of any contractual discount (the “Minimum Commitment”).
(ii) For subscriptions procured directly from Us, any increase in the actual number of Reporting Units in any month above the derived daily Minimum Commitment paid for during the Period will be billed to You by CareSight for each month of service, upon the end of the applicable month, via invoice, which shall be due and payable in accordance with CareSight’s standard terms.
B. Usage Fees. Your usage fees shall be determined by the number of connected Reporting Units monitored by the Services during the Period in question, measured on a daily basis. The pricing during any automatic Renewal Period will be the same as the pricing during the immediately prior Period unless We or other authorized selling party have given You written notice of a pricing increase at least 30 days before the end of that prior Period, in which case the pricing increase will be effective upon renewal and thereafter.
C. Payment Methods. If We are billing you directly, during the registration process, You will choose a business charge card or domestic electronic funds transfer (“ACH”) bank account for directly charging Your subscription fees and any other applicable costs or expenses. You hereby authorize us to automatically debit your designated charge card or ACH bank account for the subscription fees until You cancel your subscription, and We reserve the right to delay or suspend access to the Services unless these accounts are designated and maintained. Subscription fees are fully earned upon payment and except as otherwise specified herein, the payments are nonrefundable and shall not be subject to any offset, discount, allowance, set-off, recoupment or other deduction. In addition, there are no refunds or credits for partial subscription periods. If You would like to change Your payment method or details, such as Your credit card validity or expiration date, you may access and edit your account information through Our application. CareSight uses a third-party intermediary to manage credit card processing and this intermediary is not permitted to store, retain nor use Your billing information except to process your credit card information for the CareSight Services.
If your subscription is being invoiced to you by a CareSight authorized reseller, its payment terms and conditions will apply for the duration of the subscription Period covered by your agreement with such authorized reseller.
When Payments are Due. All payments due to CareSight shall be due and payable upon receipt of a billing notice or invoice (the “due date”) unless otherwise agreed in writing. You are responsible for paying any taxes (including without limitation any sales, use or withholding taxes now or hereafter enacted), and any duties, excises or tariffs (together “duties”), that are applicable to receipt of the Services (provided that You shall not be responsible for any taxes based on CareSight’s income). All payments hereunder shall be made without deduction for taxes or duties of any kind or nature. However, if We determine in Our sole judgment that we are legally obligated to add taxes to Your amounts due, We will include such taxes in your Services contract, order or invoices and the full amount inclusive of such taxes will be due and paid. Late payments will be subject to late fees at the rate of one percent (1%) per month, or, if lower, the maximum rate allowed by law. Our obligations under this Agreement are conditioned upon Your timely payment. If You fail to pay fees within thirty (30) days following the payment due date, such lateness shall be considered an incident of default under this Agreement and CareSight has the right to suspend performance of the Services and seek all remedies available, and You agree to reimburse our reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ and other fees incurred in collecting amounts due. Payments received after default shall be applied against late fees, interest, expenses, and principal as we determine in its sole discretion. The Services will be reinstated at Our discretion after all current and overdue amounts and accumulated late fees and expenses are paid.
E. Free Trials. We may offer a free trial of our Services from time to time. Free trials are for a limited period of time and may be for limited features of the Services. To view specific details of or eligibility for a free trial, visit our website or communicate with a CareSight representative. We may require You to register and designate a payment method even for the free trial. We retain the right to begin charging Your designated payment method for monthly subscription fees plus any applicable tax at the end of the free trial unless You cancel prior to the end of the free trial period. Your subscription shall be deemed to have commenced at the end of the free trial period.
5. TERM AND TERMINATION. This Agreement is in force from the earlier of your electronic acceptance of these terms or use of the Services or CareSight Software and subject to any earlier termination permitted in this Agreement, will remain in force for the duration of your usage of the Services through any trial and subscription Period. Except where your early termination is pursuant to CareSight’s uncured material breach (pursuant to subsection (i) below) (in which case we will promptly refund to you the prepaid fees (if any) for that portion of the terminated period for which Services were not provided), early termination of a subscription or ceasing Your use of the Services will not result in a refund of any prepaid fees. Either Party may terminate this Agreement during the Term by written notice: (i) if the other party breaches any material term or condition of this Agreement and, assuming such default is capable of cure, fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after written notice specifying the default (except in the case of failure to pay fees, which must be cured within fifteen
(15) days after any late notice), (ii) if the other party becomes insolvent or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iii) if a petition under the United States Bankruptcy Act, as it now exists or as it may be amended, or any similar law of any other jurisdiction, is filed concerning the other party. In the event that You subscribe for Services through an authorized CareSight reseller, We may suspend or terminate the Services provided to You, suspend or terminate Your rights to access and use the CareSight Licensed Products and/or suspend or terminate Your account if: if: (a) We are notified by the reseller of Your failure to pay amounts due to reseller with respect to Your subscription to the Services; or (b) reseller fails to pay any amounts due to Us pursuant to the reseller agreement with respect to Your subscription for CareSight Services. You consent to these suspension and termination rights and acknowledge and agree that We shall have no liability to You of any kind with respect to any such suspension or termination. Your sole recourse with respect to any such suspension or termination shall be against the reseller. Additionally, CareSight has the right to suspend your password, account, access or use of the Services and/or CareSight Licensed Products and this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon written notice issued and effected in Our sole discretion upon receiving information we believe is credible regarding the unauthorized use or disclosure of the CareSight Licensed Products, or the breach of any part of Sections 6, 7 or 8 hereof. Professional Contracting is separately ordered from the Services. A breach by a Party of its obligations with respect to Professional Contracting shall not by itself constitute a breach by that Party of its obligations with respect to the Services even if the services are enumerated in the same Order Form.
6. OUR SOFTWARE
A. The Services are enabled by and utilize a hosted software application (the “Hosted Software”). We shall host the Hosted Software and may update the functionality and user interface of the Hosted Software from time to time in our sole discretion as part of our ongoing mission to improve the Services and our users’ use of the Services.

Certain marks, words and logos displayed on the Services, which may or may not be designated by a “™” “®” “SM” or other similar designation, constitute trademarks, trade names, or service marks belonging to us or our licensors.

8. CONFIDENTIALITY
A. The Parties agree that during the course of performance under this Agreement, each Party may disclose to the other Party certain technical and/or non-technical information, which (i) is disclosed in a tangible or visual form and clearly labeled as “Confidential”; (ii) is disclosed in an oral, non-tangible or visual form, identified at the time of disclosure as Confidential and confirmed in writing within thirty (30) days; or (iii) is identified and treated as confidential by disclosing Party and given the circumstances of disclosure, and/or the nature of the information, the recipient knew or should reasonably have known the information was confidential (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). For purposes of clarification and in addition to the Confidential Information addressed in the previous sentence, CareSight Technology shall be deemed our Confidential Information and Personal Data shall be deemed your Confidential Information. Confidential Information does not include information, technical data or know-how which (a) is in the possession of the receiving party at the time of disclosure as shown by the receiving party’s files and records immediately prior to the time of disclosure; or (b) prior or after the time of disclosure becomes part of the public knowledge or literature, not as a result of any inaction or action of the receiving party, or (c) is approved for release by the disclosing party, or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to or use of any Confidential Information of the disclosing party.
B. Each Party agrees not to use the Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other Party for any purpose except as necessary to perform its obligations under these Terms. Neither Party will disclose the Confidential Information of the other party to third parties or to the first Party’s employees except employees and service providers who are required to have the information in order to carry out such Party’s obligations hereunder who have agreed in writing, as a condition of employment, engagement or otherwise (or who are otherwise bound by fiduciary duty or rules of professional conduct), to protect the Confidential Information with terms no less stringent than are imposed by this Section. Notwithstanding the above, CareSight may use aggregate information to measure general Service usage patterns and characteristics of its user base (the “Usage Information”), and may include such Usage Information in promotional materials or reports to third parties; provided that CareSight shall ensure that all Usage Information is anonymized, de-identified, modified and rendered in such a manner so as not to not identify Customer or its suppliers, customers, contractors, agents, affiliates, or subsidiaries. This Usage Information will not reference Personal Data, names, phone numbers, email addresses, or other personally identifiable information, and shall not be traceable to a specific party. Each Party agrees that it will use the same standard of care that it uses in protecting its own Confidential Information, but in no case less than reasonable care. Each Party agrees to promptly notify the other in writing of any misuse or misappropriation of Confidential Information of the other party that may come to its attention.
C. The confidentiality and non-use obligations of each receiving Party under this Agreement will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years; except that such obligations shall survive indefinitely with respect to each disclosing Party’s software and technology-based trade secrets so long as they remain eligible for trade secret under prevailing law (without regard to any breach of the receiving party). In the event of any expiration or termination of these Terms, or upon request by the disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall cease all use of the other Party’s Confidential Information and return to the disclosing Party all copies of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in the receiving Party’s possession or control, or destroy the same and certify as to its destruction. Except for the CareSight Software, the CareSight Technology and any portion thereof, the receiving Party will not be required to return or immediately destroy an archive copy of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information made for backup purposes in the ordinary course; provided that such archive copy will be subject to the ongoing obligations of confidentiality and non-use contained herein and shall be destroyed upon the normal expiration of backup files.
D. The Parties acknowledge and agree that although the incidental capturing of nominal Personal Data in connection with the Service may occur (for example, credentials information and in log files with transactional monitoring, and names and contact information of employees of each Party as
needed to conduct the Services and business relationship), the purpose and focus of the Service is on alerting or alarm device data collection and reporting and not to function as a receptacle to store, manipulate or retrieve Personal Data. Therefore, without limiting its other obligations under this Agreement, and subject to the foregoing caveats, You agree that You shall not provide Personal Data to CareSight.
E. You agree that CareSight and Our third party service providers that are utilized by Us to assist in providing the Services to You shall have the right to access Data made available to us as part of the Services and to use, modify, reproduce, distribute, display and disclose such Services Data to the extent necessary to provide or improve the Services, including, without limitation, in response to Your support requests. Any third-party service providers utilized by Us will only be given access to Your Services Data as is reasonably necessary to provide the Services and will be subject to confidentiality obligations substantially consistent with those set forth in this Agreement.
9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
A. Representations. Each Party hereby represents and warrants to the other that (i) such Party has the right, power and authority to enter into these Terms and to fully perform all its obligations hereunder; and (ii) the making of these Terms does not violate any agreement existing between such Party and any third party.

We warrant that we will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver and perform the Services in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with applicable industry standards.
10. INDEMNIFICATION
A. By CareSight. We shall, at our own expense, indemnify You from and against any damages finally awarded in a final adjudication on the merits, to the extent of any finding therein that the CareSight Technology, when used in strict compliance with the license rights and use instructions provided by CareSight infringed or misappropriated a third party’s U.S. copyright or U.S. trade secret rights, provided We receive prompt notice and the opportunity to provide the defense and participate in the litigation and settlement negotiations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, We shall have no liability, and shall have no obligation to defend or indemnify You, for any third party claim of infringement to the extent based upon or related to (i) use of other than the then current, unaltered version of the CareSight Technology, Software and applicable Services, unless the infringing portion is also in the then current, unaltered release; (ii) use of the Services or CareSight Software or Technology other than strictly in accordance with our instructions and documentation; (iii) use, operation or combination of the applicable Services with non-CareSight programs, data, equipment or documentation if such infringement would have been avoided but for such use, operation or combination; or (iv) any third party hardware or software. In the event the use of any Service or CareSight Technology is, or we believe is likely to be, alleged or held to infringe any third party intellectual property right, we may, at our sole option and expense, (a) procure for you the right to continue using the affected service, (b) replace or modify the affected service with functionally equivalent service so that it does not infringe, or, if either (a) or (b) is not commercially feasible, (c) terminate the Services and refund the fees received by us from you for the affected service for the remaining Term of then-current subscription Period. THE FOREGOING CONSTITUTES OUR ENTIRE LIABILITY, AND YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE.
B. By You. You shall defend, indemnify and hold Us harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from: (i) Your violation of these Terms; (ii) Your negligence or more culpable act or omission; or (iii) Your violation of any third party intellectual property or privacy right; provided, that We (a) promptly give You written notice of the claim; (b) give You control of the defense and settlement of the claim (provided that you may not settle any claim unless the settlement unconditionally releases Us of all liability); and (c) provide to You all reasonable assistance, at your expense. We may participate in the defense and settlement activities with counsel of our choosing at Your expense.
11. DISCLAIMERS, LIMITATION OF DAMAGES AND LIABILITY

NO EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF CARESIGHT OR RESELLER IS AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY STATEMENT THAT ADDS TO OR AMENDS THE WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS CONTAINED IN THESE CARESIGHT TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
B. INDIRECT AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCLUDING THE INDEMNIFICTION OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 10, OR CLAIMS, LIABILITIES OR LOSSES ASSOCIATED WITH A BREACH OF YOUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTIONS 6 THROUGH 8, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SERVICES PROVIDED, OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, COMPUTER FAILURE OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF AND REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED.
C. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
