10. Confidentiality: A Party (the “Provider”) may disclose to the other Party (the “Recipient”) information concerning all aspects of the business of the Provider and its affiliates; financial statements, business and marketing plans; customer/client transactions; customer/client lists; pending or threatened litigation; prospective contractual relations, collection, tabulation and analysis of data; computer programming methods, source code, object code, designs, specifications, plans, drawings and similar materials; programs, databases, inventions (whether or not eligible for legal protection under patent, trademark, or copyright laws) research and development; work in progress; and any other document marked “confidential” (collectively, “Confidential Information”). The terms of this Agreement will be deemed the Confidential Information of both Parties. The Recipient agrees to use a degree of care to prevent disclosing to other persons the Confidential Information of the Provider that equals or exceeds the care utilized by the Recipient to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event will such care be less than reasonable care. The Recipient further agrees not to disclose or permit any other person or entity access to the Provider’s Confidential Information, except such disclosure or access shall be permitted to an employee, agent, representative or independent contractor of the Recipient that requires access in order to perform his or her employment or services as they relate to the Recipient’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement. The Recipient shall insure that its employees, agents, representatives, and independent contractors are advised of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and are precluded from taking any action prohibited under this section. The Recipient shall immediately notify the Provider in writing of all circumstances surrounding any possession, use or knowledge of Confidential Information by any person or entity other than those authorized by this Agreement. Confidential Information shall not include information which (i) is publicly available as of the Effective Date or becomes publicly available thereafter through no fault of the Recipient; (ii) the Recipient rightfully possessed before it received such information from the Provider; (iii) is subsequently furnished to the Recipient by a third party without restrictions on disclosure; or (iv) is required by law, governmental regulation, court order or other legal process to be publicly disclosed. If the Recipient is compelled by law, governmental regulation, court order or other legal process to disclose any Confidential Information of the Provider, it may do so if: (i) it provides the Provider with prompt prior written notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and (ii) it provides the Provider with reasonable assistance, at the Provider’s reasonable expense, if the Provider determines in its sole discretion to contest the disclosure. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, or upon request of the Provider during the term of this Agreement, the Recipient will return or destroy all Confidential Information of the Provider then in its possession. In the case of destruction, the Recipient shall certify such destruction to the Provider within 30 days following request for such certification. In the event of any breach or threatened breach of this section by the Recipient, the Provider may suffer irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the Provider shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against the Recipient, its officers or employees, agents, representatives or independent contractors and such other rights and remedies to which the Provider may be entitled to at law, in equity or under this Agreement for any violation of this section.

11. Payment of Fees: Unless otherwise stated in a Schedule, Vendor shall invoice Client on a monthly basis, and Client shall pay Vendor within 30 days of the date of such invoice. If Client has failed to pay any payments, Client will be in default and the full balance of the Agreement may become immediately due and payable, at Vendor’s sole discretion. Client agrees to reimburse Vendor for all costs and expenses related to the default, including but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees and costs of collection.

12. Assignment and Binding Effect: Client may not assign this Agreement without prior written consent of Vendor. Any attempted assignment in violation of this provision shall be deemed void. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall benefit the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

13. Entire Agreement/Counterparts: This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements between the parties regarding such subject matter. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, whether by electronic or manual signature. Signatures received via facsimile, electronic mail or other similarly reliable electronic means shall be deemed originals for all purposes.
