c) Restrictions. Except as expressly authorized in the Agreement, Customer shall not, and shall ensure that Users do not, directly or indirectly: (i) license, sublicense, rent, lease, sell, resell, loan, transfer, distribute, translate, or otherwise transfer rights to the Services; (ii) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble or otherwise obtain or attempt to create, derive, or obtain the source code of the Services; (iii) modify, translate, enhance or otherwise change the Services or prepare derivative works of the Services, including creation and distribution of add-ons or enhancements or incorporation into another product unless expressly agreed between the parties; (iv) copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, or transmit the Services or any other materials provided in connection therewith; (v) remove, obscure, or alter any notice of copyright, trademark or other proprietary right appearing in or on any item included with the Services; (vi) circumvent or attempt to circumvent any methods employed by Dexzyle to control access to the components, features or functions of the Services or to prevent unauthorized use of the Services; or interfere with, impair, or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services or any other party’s use of the Services; (vii) use or otherwise exploit the Services for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, other than the Permitted Purpose, including for purposes of benchmarking, competitive analysis or the development of a competing software product; or (viii) use the Services to violate third party rights or applicable laws or to store or transmit infringing, libelous, unlawful, or tortious material or store material in violation of third party rights or applicable laws.
a) Third party services include other services that you purchase from third parties and elect to integrate with your Subscription Service, such as payroll, human resources management, and electronic medical record services. Dexzyle does not endorse or recommend any third-party service, and you are responsible for investigating the quality and suitability of any third-party services. For any third-party service that you use or integrate with the Subscription Service, or that Dexzyle integrates for you at your request, you represent and warrant to Dexzyle that you have the necessary rights and licenses from the third party service provider to use their services as integrated with the Dexzyle.
b) Dexzyle makes no representation or warranty whatsoever regarding the third-party service and, as between you and Dexzyle, the third-party service is provided AS IS. Your use of the third-party service is subject to the legal agreement between you and the third party. You should review the third party’s legal terms and privacy policies before using their services.
c) Dexzyle may provide integration features for third-party services as part of the Subscription Service. You acknowledge that Dexzyle’s integration features may be unavailable or may not work properly if the service provider’s API is unavailable or if the service provider modifies its API or services in a way that impacts the Dexzyle integration feature. Dexzyle will use commercially reasonable efforts to modify its integration features to maintain compatibility with the service provider’s APIs and services but may discontinue an integration feature without liability to you if there is a change in the service that creates an unreasonable cost or operational burden to Dexzyle. Your obligations under the Agreement, for fees and otherwise, are not conditioned on the continued availability of any integration features.
a) Term. These Terms and Conditions will begin on the Effective Date and continue until terminated as set forth herein. Unless otherwise agreed, Subscription Services automatically renew for successive periods of the initial contract term specified in the Order Form, unless either party gives the other party written notice of non-renewal at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term, or the applicable Order Form is sooner terminated as provided herein.
b) Termination. Either party may terminate the Agreement (in whole or with respect to an applicable Order Form) upon written notice to the other party if such other party materially breaches any provision of the Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days following such notice thereof (except that a breach of Section 7 is not capable of cure) or immediately if Customer infringes upon or misappropriates Dexzyle’s intellectual property or pursuant to the receipt of a subpoena, court order, request by a law enforcement agency, or as otherwise required by law. If you wish to terminate the Agreement for any other reason, Dexzyle may, at its discretion, permit you to do so but you will be subject to an early termination fee equal to the recurring fee calculated monthly times the number of months remaining in the current term.
c) Effects of Termination and Survival. The expiration of an individual Order Form or any Services will not impact any other Order Form or Services or the remainder of the Agreement. If the Agreement is terminated in whole, the Agreement and all corresponding Order Forms will terminate. The customer will pay for all Services up to the effective date of termination. Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement (in whole or with respect to any Order Form), Dexzyle will disable the applicable Services. Customer may download its Customer Data prior to such expiration or termination and may request a copy of its Customer Data for up to ninety (90) days thereafter. Such copy will be provided by Dexzyle to the Customer in an industry-standard format. Thereafter, Dexzyle will delete the Customer Data within thirty (30) days unless otherwise legally prohibited.
d) Suspension. Dexzyle may suspend your access to the Subscription Service and Customer Data during any period that you are in material breach of the Agreement, you create a material security vulnerability, or Dexzyle, in its sole discretion, identifies the Customer’s usage of the Subscription Service as Excessive Usage. Dexzyle will give the Customer at least two (2) business days advance notice of the suspension unless the suspension is made under emergency circumstances or in relation to Excessive Usage. Customer will reinstate your access to the Services when the grounds for suspension are cured unless the Customer has already terminated the Agreement as described in this Section.
e) Surviving Provisions: The following sections survive expiration or termination of the Agreement: Fees and Payment, Confidentiality, Indemnification, Disclaimer of Damages; Limitation of Liability, Term and Termination, Other Provisions, and any other terms that by their nature are intended to survive expiration or termination.
a) Compliance with Laws. Both parties shall comply in all material respects with all laws, regulations, rules, orders and other requirements, now or hereafter in effect, of any governmental authority, applicable to its performance hereunder.
b) Customer Obligations. Customer agrees and warrants that it (i) will install the latest version of the Software to access and use the Subscription Services; (ii) is legally able to provide Customer Data to Dexzyle and its Affiliates, including obtaining appropriate consents for any processing by Dexzyle; (iii) will comply with all applicable requirements of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), including consent to contact each phone number to which you use the Software to contact and is made and honoring an individual’s request to opt-out of receiving such further messages; (iv) will establish a constant internet connection and electrical supply for the use of the Subscription Services; (v) will ensure that the Services are used only with public domain or properly licensed third party materials; and (vi) will keep its registration information, billing information, passwords and technical data accurate, complete, secure and current during the term of the Agreement.
a) Payment. Customer will pay Dexzyle in accordance with the applicable Order Form(s). Fees for the Services shall be as set forth in an Order Form and do not include Taxes or any third-party provider fees. Dexzyle may not increase the fees during the initial contract term, but may increase its fees for any renewal term by giving you notice of the increase at least thirty (30) days prior to the first day of your next billing cycle. Any discounts described in the Order Form are for the initial term of the Order only unless otherwise stated in the Order Form. Fees are stated and must be paid in United States Dollars. You must pay any base, minimum, or fixed fees associated stated in your Order Form even if you do not use the Services.
b) Method of Payment: Unless you have made other arrangements with Dexzyle, you must authorize and maintain a current valid means for Dexzyle to collect its fees for the Services via payment card, or ACH at all times during the Term. Dexzyle may charge the fees on or after the following times: (i) for fixed monthly recurring fees, the first day of each billing cycle, (ii) for usage fees, and other variable fees, the last day of each billing cycle, or more often if Customer usage fees are unusually high for the Customer’s account type, (iii) for one-time fees (such as set up fees), the day Customer submits the Order that includes the fee, and (iv) for hourly fees, at the time stated in the Order, or if no time is stated, on completion of the hourly services described in the Order.
c) Scope of Usage. Usage-based fees are established by counting the Units associated with the ordered Services. For instance, fees for Services may be established based on the number of messages sent to recipients over a thirty (30)-day period (or the number of seats orders(or a combination thereof). If, during the term of an Order Form, Customer’s usage exceeds the quantity of Units in the Order Form, Customer’s fees will increase based on the applicable price per Unit. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, the additional fees will commence on the date Customer first exceeded its quantity of Units and be prorated for the remainder of the applicable term.
d) Taxes. All fees are exclusive of Taxes, and Customer shall pay or reimburse Dexzyle for all Taxes arising out of the Agreement. If Customer is required to withhold or deduct any Taxes from the payment of any fees, Customer will increase the amount payable to Dexzyle by the amount of such Taxes so that Dexzyle receives the full amount of all fees and expenses. If Dexzyle has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by the Customer, unless Customer provides Dexzyle with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Dexzyle’s failure to initially invoice Customer for any applicable Taxes does not relieve Customer from responsibility for such Taxes under the Agreement.
e) Late Payments. Dexzyle may suspend or terminate your Subscription Service or the Agreement if your payment is overdue, including if Dexzyle’s charge to your payment card or account is rejected. Dexzyle may charge interest on overdue amounts at the lesser of 1.2% per month or the highest non-usurious amount permitted by applicable law. If Dexzyle takes legal action to collect an overdue amount, you must also pay Dexzyle’s reasonable costs of collection, such as attorney fees and court costs. If Dexzyle suspends your account for late payment, you must pay Dexzyle’s reasonable reinstatement fee.
f) General. Fees are non-refundable. If Dexzyle discounts your fees in exchange for a commitment to a Term length of longer than one month and the Order is terminated prior to the end of the committed term then, unless the termination was by Dexzyle for convenience, or by you for Dexzyle’s breach, you must pay an early termination fee equal to the difference between the undiscounted and discounted fees for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
g) Plan Changes. Not currently permitted.
a) Ownership. Dexzyle (and/or its licensors) is the sole and exclusive owner of all rights, title and interest in and to the Services and Dexzyle’s proprietary property (including intellectual property rights) and reserves all rights, title and interest in and to the Services not expressly granted under the Agreement. No ownership right is conveyed to Customer in the Services or Dexzyle’s proprietary property, irrespective of the use of terms such as “purchase” or “sale” in any Order Form.
b) Feedback. From time to time, Customer or its Users may submit to Dexzyle comments, questions, enhancement requests, suggestions, ideas, process descriptions or other information related to the Services (“Feedback”). Customer hereby grants to Dexzyle a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use and incorporate the Feedback for any purpose without restriction, attribution or payment to Customer.
c) Customer Data. Customer is the sole and exclusive owner of all rights, title and interest in and to the Customer Data (including intellectual property rights) and reserves all rights, title and interest in and to the Customer Data not expressly granted under the Agreement. Customer hereby grants Dexzyle the right to use Customer Data for providing and improving the Services. Customer will be solely responsible for the procurement, accuracy, quality, and content of Customer Data.
d) Protection. During the term of any Services ordered hereunder, each party shall comply with its respective obligations under applicable data protection laws, and each party shall maintain a reasonable security program in accordance with industry standards that is designed to protect the security of, and prevent unauthorized access to, Confidential Information and Customer Data. Such security program shall include implementation of appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards.
a) 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 at the time of disclosure or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and/or the circumstances of disclosure, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of the Agreement (including pricing), business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes. “Confidential Information” does not include any information that (i) is or becomes publicly available without breach by the Receiving Party under the Agreement, (ii) at the time of disclosure was known to the Receiving Party without obligation of confidentiality, (iii) is received by the Receiving Party from a third party not under an obligation of confidentiality, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without the use of or reference to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
b) Obligations. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care to protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it uses to protect its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) including by, except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party, limiting access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to Receiving Party’s employees, contractors, Affiliates and agents who have a need to know the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for purposes consistent with the Agreement and that are subject to confidentiality obligations to the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective than those contained herein. These obligations will continue for a period of two (2) years following initial disclosure of the particular Confidential Information (except for any Confidential Information constituting a trade secret under applicable law (as confirmed in good faith by counsel to the disclosing party), which shall be subject to these obligations for so long as it qualifies as a trade secret).
c) Compelled Disclosure. Nothing in the Agreement will prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing the Confidential Information pursuant to any judicial or governmental order or as otherwise required by law, provided that, where legally permissible, the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice of such disclosure.
a) Limited Warranty. Subject to Section 8(b), Dexzyle warrants to Customer that during the term of such Services (the “Warranty Period”) (i) the Subscription Services will not deviate in a material adverse manner from the Documentation for such Subscription Services then in effect; (ii) Dexzyle will not inject any software traps, viruses, worms, trap doors, malicious code, disabling code, or other means or functions designed to damage or corrupt the Subscription Services or otherwise damage or destroy data or other property and (iii) the Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner by qualified personnel.
b) Exceptions. The limited warranty set forth in Section 8(a) shall not apply to problems arising out of or relating to (i) Customer’s or its representatives’ modification of or damage to the Subscription Services unless such modification was made pursuant to the Documentation; (ii) any unauthorized third-party software or hardware that are operated with or incorporated into the Subscription Services by Customer; (iii) negligence, abuse, misapplication or misuse of the Services, including any use of the Subscription Services other than as specified in the Documentation; (iv) Customer’s failure to comply with any minimum system requirements specified in the Documentation; or (v) a deficiency in Customer’s systems or network used to access the Subscription Services.
c) Remedial Efforts. If Dexzyle breaches any of the warranties set forth in Section 8(a)(i), Dexzyle may, at its option and expense, take any of the following steps to remedy such breach (i) repair the Subscription Services or (ii) replace the Subscription Services with functionally equivalent products; provided that if Dexzyle cannot remedy such breach in a commercially reasonable manner, Customer may terminate, as its sole and exclusive remedy and Dexzyle’s entire liability, the affected Services and receive a pro rata refund of the fees paid by Customer for the Services for the remaining portion of the unused term. The limited warranty set forth in Section 8(a) shall only apply if Customer has met its payment obligations pursuant to Section 4 and notifies Dexzyle in writing of the warranty breach before the expiration of the Warranty Period. For the avoidance of doubt, if payment for the Services is not yet due or invoices are being disputed in good faith, then Customer will not be considered to have unmet payment obligations.
d) Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 8(A), Dexzyle MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” DEXZYLE HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY: (A) IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (B) IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING, OR USAGE OF TRADE. DEXZYLE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS SENT THROUGH THE DEXZYLE SOFTWARE WILL CONCLUDE IN ANY ANTICIPATED RESULT.

CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL TELEPHONE CALLS, SMS TEXT MESSAGES AND EMAIL MESSAGES SENT USING THE DEXZYLE COMMUNITY MESSAGING SOFTWARE AND SERVICES SYSTEM UTILIZE STANDARD PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS CHANNELS.

(a) Customer agrees that if a third party asserts a legal claim against Dexzyle or any of its officers, members, managers, employees, staff, personnel, agents, licensors or suppliers (the “Dexzyle Defendants”) arising from Customer’s violation of these Services Agreement terms or any Order, including Cutomer’s breach of a representation or warranty, or if a customer of the Customer asserts a legal claim against any of the Dexzyle Defendants on any basis other than Dexzyle’s gross negligence or misconduct, Customer will pay all reasonable costs of defending the claim, including reasonable attorney fees, and any damages awarded to the third party or paid to the third party by Dexzyle as a reasonable settlement. Customer agrees that Dexzyle may control the defense of the claim at its option, or may require Customer to defend the claim directly.

(a) Disclaimer of Damages.

Any terms contained in any other documentation that Customer delivers to Dexzyle, including any purchase order or other order-related document (other than an Order Form), are void and will not become part of the Agreement or otherwise bind the parties.

j) Dispute resolution. The parties will make a good faith effort to resolve the underlying dispute. Such good faith effort will include (i) elevating the issue to management personnel of each party who have the power to settle the dispute on behalf of that party and, if such management-level discussions fail after ten (10) business days, further elevating the matter to a vice president level executive for each party to continue good faith efforts to resolve the matter for an additional ten (10) business days and (ii) reasonably sharing relevant, non-privileged documents, books and records and other materials, as reasonably requested, in connection with the dispute. If the parties cannot resolve the underlying dispute after the second ten (10) business day period, each of you and Dexzyle agree that any dispute related to the Services, an Order or these Services Terms shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Denver, Colorado. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitration will be conducted in person unless each of party agrees to a telephonic or written submissions procedure. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned award with findings of fact and conclusions of law and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Either party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration under this Agreement, or to enforce or vacate an arbitration award. Each party waives any right to a trial by jury, and agrees that disputes will be resolved through arbitration.

Each party agrees not bring a claim related to the Services or the subject matter of an Order or these Services Terms more than two years after the time that the claim accrued. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.
