3. YOUR SUBSCRIPTION.
A. We offer subscription-based Services.

You are expressly prohibited from sublicensing use of the Licensed Products to third parties. However, you may choose to offer access to and use of the Licensed Products to your Affiliates, provided that (a) you shall remain the contracting party with us with respect to the payment of fees and all access and use; and (b) you hereby agree that you shall retain full, unconditional responsibility for all such access to and use of the Licensed Products and all compliance herewith. You hereby agree that neither you nor your Affiliates or customers shall take any action intended to interfere with or disrupt the Services or any other user’s use of the Services.
B. During your subscription period pursuant to an Order Form entered by your Authorized Representative, we shall: (a) provide to you (and not to your customers or Affiliates) any support included with your subscription purchase during normal business hours or as otherwise scheduled by CareSight for the Services, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for:
(i) Maintenance, for which we will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice via email based on your account settings within the Services, or by using Notification capabilities within the Services (if available). If the expected impact of planned operations is less than five (5) minutes of downtime, we may elect not to give advance notice; or
(ii) For any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems, or Internet service provider failures, outages or delays (collectively “Extraordinary Circumstances”).
C. Extended support and Professional Services are available for an additional fee. Fee, coverage and terms information are available from CareSight and will be included in an order upon request.
D. Your use of the Services and CareSight Technology is expressly only licensed for the duration of the Term and any trial period while you are and remain a current customer in good standing. You acknowledge and agree that you will not have access to historical information or data, including Aggregated Data and Analytics related to your use of the Services upon expiration or termination of your use of the Services.
4. SUBSCRIPTION FEES, BILLING AND RENEWAL.
A. Paid Subscription. By subscribing to the Services, you expressly agree to pay subscription fees, corresponding to your subscription plan, plus any applicable taxes and duties, if any. During any Term 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 additional periods equal to the expiring Term (each as defined below).
(i) Your Subscription. Fees are billed 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 Term”)) of the Agreement and for each additional renewal period of the same length (a “Renewal Term”), for the initial minimum commitment of Reporting Units specified in the applicable Order Form, net of any contractual discount (the “Minimum Commitment”). The period of your use of the Services during the Initial Term and each Renewal Term under this Agreement is referred to as the “Term”.
(ii) Any increase in the actual number of Reporting Units in any month above the derived daily Minimum Commitment paid for during the Term 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 Term will be the same as the pricing during the immediately prior Term 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 Term, in which case the pricing increase will be effective upon renewal and thereafter.
C. Payment Methods. If CareSight is 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. 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 Service 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 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 Service.
If your Subscription is being invoiced to you by a CareSight Authorized Reseller, their payment terms and conditions will apply.
When Payments are Due. All payments 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 Service (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 CareSight determines in its sole judgment that we are legally obligated to add taxes to your service fees, CareSight will include such taxes in your Service Agreement 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. CareSight's 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 Service 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 Service 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 sales 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. Additionally, CareSight has the right to suspend your password, account, access or use of the Service or CareSight Technology and this Agreement immediately upon written notice in its sole discretion upon receiving information we believe is credible regarding the unauthorized use or disclosure of the CareSight Technology, or the breach of any part of Sections 6, 7 or 8 hereof. Professional Services are separately ordered from the Service. A breach by a party of its obligations with respect to Professional Services shall not by itself constitute a breach by that party of its obligations with respect to the Service 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 “CareSight Software”). We shall host the CareSight Software and may update the functionality and user interface of the CareSight 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.

8. CONFIDENTIALITY.
A. The parties agree that during the course of performance under these Terms, 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 parties 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 “Aggregated Information”), and may include such Aggregated Information in promotional materials or reports to third parties; provided that CareSight shall ensure that all Aggregated 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 Aggregated 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 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 or any other data or information about patents (“Patient Data”). Therefore, without limiting its other obligations under this Agreement, and subject to the foregoing caveats, you agree that (i) you shall not provide Personal Data or Patient Data to CareSight. Nor will you provide Protected Health Information (“PHI”) as that term is used in the Health and Insurance Portability Act of 1996, as amended or modified from time to time.;
(ii) you will configure the CareSight Software so that it will be used only to collect information from devices and applications using methodology which will not expose or divulge Personal Data, PHI or Patient Data; (iii) you will not send any logs to CareSight that contain Personal or ; (iv) you will isolate and secure the CareSight Software on your systems and network to prevent unauthorized access, use, disclosure and loss using at a minimum industry standard security practices and technologies and as otherwise required by applicable laws; and (v) except for the incidental information referenced above or otherwise necessary to operate the Services, CareSight will not access or collect any Personal Data, PHI or Patient Data from you.

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 and applicable Services, unless the infringing portion is also in the then current, unaltered release; (ii) use of the Services or CareSight 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.

You grant us the right to include your name and logo as a customer in our promotional materials; provided however, that you can opt to have your name excluded from such use by us except as agreed to in writing on a case-by-case basis by providing a sufficiently detailed email request regarding the same to sales@CareSight.com; the subject line in such email should be entitled “Non-use of Subscriber Name.”
b. Subject in each case to your agreement and only on an occasional basis, we may ask that you consider in your sole discretion making a representative available (i) to serve as a non-public reference to our prospective customers to discuss your experience working with us; and (ii) to work with us in developing and publishing case studies and press releases that describe your use of the Services.
J. Force Majeure. Except for the nonpayment of money due, neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure in performance due to Extraordinary Circumstances (as defined in Section 3.B (ii) (Your Subscription) hereof).
K. Entire Agreement. These Terms and any attachments hereto along with any Order Form constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter, including but not limited to any non-disclosure and proof of concept agreements entered by the parties. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be effective unless in writing and either signed or accepted electronically by the party against whom the modification, amendment or waiver is to be asserted. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and any Order Form, the same shall be resolved by giving precedence to this Agreement.
