The Receiving Party agrees to: (i) take reasonable precautions to protect such Confidential Information, and (ii) not disclose Confidential Information to any third party without the Disclosing Party's written consent, provided however, that Company may, as required, disclose Confidential Information to Company's contractors or agents ("Representatives") in its performance of the Services or as otherwise permitted herein, and where such Representatives are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those set forth in this section.

Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise. On the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall promptly return to the Disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, or at the Disclosing Party's option, destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the Disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed.
- Customer shall own all rights, title and interest in and to the Customer Data.

- All intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, patent disclosures and inventions (whether patentable or not), trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, know-how and other confidential information, trade dress, trade names, logos, corporate names and domain names, together with all of the goodwill associated therewith, derivative works and all other rights (collectively, "Intellectual Property Rights") in and to all documents, work product, deliverables and other materials that are delivered to Customer under any Statement of Work or prepared by or on behalf of Company in the course of performing the Services (excluding all Customer Data and Output (as defined and described below)) (collectively, "Work Product") shall be owned exclusively by Company. Company grants Customer a limited license to use the Work Product and Company's Intellectual Property Rights in the Work Product free of additional charge and on a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable (except with prior written consent of Company), non-sublicensable (except with the prior written consent of Company), fully paid-up, royalty-free basis, solely to the extent necessary to enable Customer to make reasonable internal use of the applicable Work Product and the Services during the term of the applicable Order Form or Statement of Work.

Inquiries should be directed to Company's customer support department. In the event of a dispute, Customer shall pay all undisputed Fees and work in good faith with Company to resolve the issue within thirty (30) days of notice. All Fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable except as otherwise stated in this Agreement.
- Company may choose to bill through an invoice, in which case, full payment for invoices issued in any given month must be received by Company thirty (30) days after the mailing date of the invoice. Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection and may result in immediate termination of Service. Customer shall be responsible for all taxes associated with Services other than U.S. taxes based on Company's net income.

This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the Parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and that all amendments, waivers and/or modifications must be in a writing signed by both Parties, except as otherwise provided herein.

The number of arbitrators shall be three (3). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent that a Party may be entitled to equitable relief, such Party may bring an action in any appropriate court to obtain such equitable relief. The Parties shall, upon Customer's consent, work together in good faith to issue at least one mutually agreed upon press release within 90 days of the Effective Date, and Customer otherwise agrees to reasonably cooperate with Company to serve as a reference account upon request.
EXHIBIT A
Service Level Terms
The Platform Services shall be materially available 99.9% of the time, measured monthly, excluding holidays and weekends and scheduled maintenance. If Customer requests maintenance during these hours, any uptime or downtime calculation will exclude periods affected by such maintenance. Further, any downtime resulting from outages of third-party connections or utilities or other reasons beyond Company's control will also be excluded from any such calculation. Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, and Company's entire liability, in connection with the Platform Services material availability of less than 99.9% shall be that for each period of downtime lasting longer than one hour, Company will credit Customer 5% of Platform Services fees for each period of sixty (60) or more consecutive minutes of downtime (a "Credit"); provided that no more than one such Credit will accrue per day. Downtime shall begin to accrue as soon as Customer provides notice to the Company stating that downtime is taking place and continues until the material availability of the Platform Services is restored. In order to receive downtime Credit, Customer must notify Company in writing within 24 hours from the time of downtime, and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime Credit. Such Credits may not be redeemed for cash and shall not exceed the equivalent of one (1) week of Platform Services Fees in any calendar month. Company will only apply a Credit for the month in which the incident occurred. Company's blocking of data communications or other Service in accordance with its policies shall not be deemed to be a failure of Company to provide adequate service levels under this Agreement.
EXHIBIT B
Support Terms
Company will provide Technical Support to Customer via electronic mail on weekdays during the hours of 9:00 am through 5:00 pm EST, with the exclusion of Federal Holidays ("Support Hours").
Customer may initiate a helpdesk ticket during Support Hours via in app support or any time by emailing: support@acuitymd.com.
