Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Order Form, on the last day of the Free Trial period, unless Customer cancels its receipt of the Subscription Services or otherwise terminates the Agreement in accordance with this Agreement, Customer will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription Services fees. Subject to applicable law, at any time and without notice, SurePath reserves the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.

3. Fees and Payment
- Fees. Customer will pay SurePath the non-refundable fees set forth in the relevant Order Form in accordance with the terms in the Order Form (“Fees”) and without offset or deduction. SurePath reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and Fees at the end of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, upon sixty (60) days’ prior notice to Customer (which may be sent by email). Except as otherwise provided in the relevant Order Form, SurePath will issue monthly invoices to Customer during the Term, and Customer will pay all amounts set forth on any such invoice no later than thirty (30) days after the date of such invoice. If Customer has signed up for automatic billing, SurePath will charge Customer’s selected payment method (such as a credit card, debit card, gift card/code, or other method available in Customer’s home country) for any Fees on the applicable payment date, including any applicable taxes. If SurePath cannot charge Customer’s selected payment method for any reason (such as expiration or insufficient funds), Customer remains responsible for any uncollected amounts, and SurePath will attempt to charge the payment method again as Customer may update its payment method information. In accordance with local law, SurePath may update information regarding Customer’s selected payment method if provided such information by Customer’s financial institution.
- Payments. Payments due to SurePath under this Agreement must be made in U.S. dollars by check, wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by SurePath or such other payment method mutually agreed by the Parties. All payments are non-refundable and neither Party will have the right to set off, discount or otherwise reduce or refuse to pay any amounts due to the other Party under this Agreement. If Customer fails to make any payment when due, late charges will accrue at the rate of 1.5% per month or, if lower, the highest rate permitted by applicable law and SurePath may suspend Subscription Services until all payments are made in full. Customer will reimburse SurePath for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in collecting any late payments or interest.
- Taxes. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, ad valorem and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, multinational or local governmental regulatory authority on any amount payable by Customer to SurePath under this Agreement, other than any taxes imposed on SurePath’s income. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that Customer is required to deduct or withhold any taxes from the amounts payable to SurePath under this Agreement, Customer will pay an additional amount, so that SurePath receives the amounts due to it under this Agreement in full, as if there were no withholding or deduction.
4. Confidential Information
- As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any information that one Party (the “Disclosing Party”) provides to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) in connection with this Agreement, whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be considered to be confidential given the nature of the information and/or the circumstances of disclosure. For clarity, the Subscription Services and the Documentation will be deemed Confidential Information of SurePath. However, Confidential Information will not include any information or materials that: (i) were, at the date of disclosure, or have subsequently become, generally known or available to the public through no act or failure to act by the Receiving Party; (ii) were rightfully known by the Receiving Party prior to receiving such information or materials from the Disclosing Party; (iii) are rightfully acquired by the Receiving Party from a third party who has the right to disclose such information or materials without breach of any confidentiality or non-use obligation to the Disclosing Party; or (iv) are independently developed by or for the Receiving Party without use of or access to any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will limit or restrict SurePath’s ability to use or disclose any general know-how, experience, concepts and/or ideas that SurePath or its personnel acquire or obtain in connection with the performance of SurePath’s obligations under this Agreement.
- The Receiving Party will maintain the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in strict confidence, and will not use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party except as necessary to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement; provided that SurePath may use and modify Confidential Information of Customer in deidentified form for purposes of developing and deriving Aggregate Data. The Receiving Party will not disclose or cause to be disclosed any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except (i) to those employees, representatives, or contractors of the Receiving Party who have a bona fide need to know such Confidential Information to perform under this Agreement and who are bound by written agreements with use and nondisclosure restrictions at least as protective as those set forth in this Agreement, or (ii) as such disclosure may be required by the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency or other governmental body, subject to the Receiving Party providing to the Disclosing Party reasonable written notice to allow the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order or otherwise contest the disclosure.
- Each Party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the Effective Date and will expire five (5) years from the date first disclosed to the Receiving Party; provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.
- The terms and conditions of this Agreement will constitute Confidential Information of each Party but may be disclosed on a confidential basis to a Party’s advisors, attorneys, actual or bona fide potential acquirers, investors or other sources of funding (and their respective advisors and attorneys) for due diligence purposes.
5. Support and Service Levels

- Service Levels. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, SurePath will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Subscription Services available in accordance with the service levels set forth in The SurePath Support Terms.

- SurePath Indemnification. Subject to Section 8(b), SurePath will defend Customer against any claim, suit or proceeding brought by a third party (“Claims”) alleging that Customer’s Use of the Subscription Services infringes or misappropriates such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, and will indemnify and hold harmless Customer against any damages and costs awarded against Customer or agreed in settlement by SurePath (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from such Claim.
- Exclusions. SurePath’s obligations under Section 8(a) will not apply if the underlying third-party Claim arises from or as a result of: (i) Customer’s breach of this Agreement, negligence, willful misconduct or fraud; (ii) any Customer Materials; (iii) Customer’s failure to use any enhancements, modifications, or updates to the Subscription Services that have been provided by SurePath; (iv) modifications to the Subscription Services by anyone other than SurePath; or (v) combinations of the Subscription Services with software, data or materials not provided by SurePath.
- IP Remedies. If SurePath reasonably believes the Subscription Services (or any component thereof) could infringe any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, SurePath may, at its sole option and expense use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) modify or replace the Subscription Services, or any component or part thereof, to make it non-infringing; or (ii) procure the right for Customer to continue Use. If SurePath determines that neither alternative is commercially practicable, SurePath may terminate this Agreement, in its entirety or with respect to the affected component, by providing written notice to Customer. In the event of any such termination, SurePath will refund to Customer a pro-rata portion of the Fees that have been paid for the unexpired portion. The rights and remedies set forth in this Section 8 will constitute Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any infringement or misappropriation of Intellectual Property Rights in connection with the Subscription Services.
- Customer Indemnification. Customer will defend SurePath against Claims arising from (i) any Customer Materials, including, without limitation, (A) any Claim that the Customer Materials infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights or privacy or other rights; or (B) any Claim that the use, provision, transmission, display or storage of Customer Materials violates any applicable law, rule or regulation; (ii) any of Customer’s products or services; and (iii) Use of the Subscription Services by Customer or its Authorized Users in a manner that is not in accordance with this Agreement or the Documentation, including, without limitation, any breach of the license restrictions in Section 2(b), and in each case, will indemnify and hold harmless SurePath against any damages and costs awarded against SurePath or agreed in settlement by Customer (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from such Claim.
- Indemnification Procedures. The Party seeking defense and indemnity (the “Indemnified Party”) will promptly (and in any event no later than thirty (30) days after becoming aware of facts or circumstances that could reasonably give rise to any Claim) notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the Claim for which indemnity is being sought, and will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense and/or settlement thereof. The Indemnifying Party will have the sole right to conduct the defense of any Claim for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible under this Agreement (provided that the Indemnifying Party may not settle any Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written approval unless the settlement is for a monetary amount, unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party from all liability without prejudice, does not require any admission by the Indemnified Party, and does not place restrictions upon the Indemnified Party’s business, products or services). The Indemnified Party may participate in the defense or settlement of any such Claim at its own expense and with its own choice of counsel or, if the Indemnifying Party refuses to fulfill its obligation of defense, the Indemnified Party may defend itself and seek reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party.
9. Professional Services Warranty; Disclaimer
SurePath warrants that Professional Services will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with applicable industry standards. This warranty will be in effect for a period of thirty (30) days from the completion of any Professional Services.

13. Miscellaneous
- Export Regulation. Customer affirms that it is not named on, owned by, or acting on behalf of any U.S. government denied-party list, and it agrees to comply fully with all relevant export control and sanctions laws and regulations of the United States (“Export Laws”) to ensure that neither the Subscription Services, software, any Customer Materials, nor any technical data related thereto is: (i) used, exported or re-exported directly or indirectly in violation of Export Laws; or (ii) used for any purposes prohibited by the Export Laws, including, but not limited to, nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons proliferation, missile systems or technology, or restricted unmanned aerial vehicle applications. Customer will complete all undertakings required by Export Laws, including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval.
- U.S. Government End Users. The Subscription Services, software and Documentation were developed solely at private expense and are “commercial products”, “commercial items”, or “commercial computer software” as defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation 2.101 and other relevant government procurement regulations including agency supplements. Any use, duplication, or disclosure of the Subscription Services, software and Documentation by or on behalf of the U.S. government is subject to restrictions as set forth in this Agreement as consistent with federal law and regulations.

- Amendments. SurePath reserves the right to clarify or amend this Agreement by publishing a new version of it on its website or otherwise.
- General. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without the other Party’s prior written consent, and any attempt by either Party to do so, without such consent, will be void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement is binding upon and will inure to the benefit of each of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, given the fundamental intentions of the Parties, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement, including its exhibits, is the complete and exclusive agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and understandings, both written and oral, with respect to its subject matter. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between the Parties. Neither Party will have the power to bind the other or to incur obligations on the other’s behalf without such other Party’s prior written consent. Each Party agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Section 4 or, in the case of Customer, Section 2(b), would cause the other Party irreparable harm and significant damages for which there may be no adequate remedy under law and that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will have the right to seek immediate equitable relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the exercise by either Party of any remedy under this Agreement will be without prejudice to its other remedies under this Agreement or otherwise. Either Party’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Party granting the waiver. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado without giving effect to any principles of conflict of laws that would lead to the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The parties expressly agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply. Any legal action or proceeding arising under this Agreement will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Denver, Colorado, and the Parties irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue therein. All notices required to be sent hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed to have been given when mailed by certified mail, overnight express, or sent by email, with receipt confirmed. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, and electronic signatures will have the same weight and effect as originals.
