Notwithstanding the foregoing, the warranty obligation set forth in this section shall not apply to the extent any breach of such warranty is caused by: (x) use of the Software other than in accordance with this Agreement, the applicable Order Form, and the Documentation; (y) any Error which cannot be reproduced by PowerPlan; or (z) third party hardware, software, databases, or systems. For the avoidance of doubt, expiration of the warranty above does not waive or diminish PowerPlan’s obligations to address Errors in accordance with Section 3.2.
Sole Remedy. THE WARRANTIES IN SECTIONS 9.1 AND 9.2 CONSTITUTE POWERPLAN’S SOLE AND ENTIRE LIABILITY AND CLIENT’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO SUCH WARRANTIES. PowerPlan shall not be obligated to correct any breach of the above warranty if Client has not promptly notified PowerPlan of the specific existence and nature of such breach during the applicable warranty period. Without limiting the foregoing, PowerPlan does not warrant and is not responsible for (i) any third-party products or (ii) Modifications or services not performed solely by PowerPlan Personnel.
Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 9, NEITHER POWERPLAN NOR ITS LICENSORS MAKES ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION, CONDITION, OR AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES. POWERPLAN AND ITS LICENSORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM AND EXCLUDE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ARISING FROM USAGE, CONDUCT, OR COURSE OF TRADE. POWERPLAN DOES NOT REPRESENT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE AND THE DOCUMENTATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR FREE OF ERRORS, MALWARE, OR ISSUES OR THAT ALL ERRORS, MALWARE, OR ISSUES WILL BE CORRECTED. CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT TRANSFERRING INFORMATION OVER THE INTERNET INHERENTLY INVOLVES RISK TO COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND NETWORK SECURITY AND THAT POWERPLAN DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANTY THAT DATA WILL NOT BE BREACHED, CORRUPTED, OR LOST.

INDEMNITIES

General Indemnification. PowerPlan shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Client against any third-party claim arising from or relating to: (a) any injury including personal injury, death, or property damage caused by PowerPlan; or (b) PowerPlan’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Infringement Indemnification. PowerPlan shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Client against any third-party claim that any component of the Software infringes any valid and active patent, copyright, or trademark, or misappropriates any trade secret. If any Software becomes, or in PowerPlan’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement, PowerPlan may, at its sole option: (a) obtain for Client the right to continue using the Software; (b) replace or modify the affected Software so that it becomes non-infringing while providing substantially equivalent functionality; or (c) if such remedies are not available on commercially reasonable terms as determined by PowerPlan, terminate the license for the affected portion of the Software and refund the License Fees for the affected portion of the Software, less a usage charge based on a 36 month straight-line amortization if the grant was for a perpetual license.
Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, PowerPlan shall not be liable for nor have any obligation pursuant to Section 10.2 for any claim that: (a) an alleged infringement is based on or arises from (i) the combination or use of the Software with hardware, software, or other materials not provided or approved by PowerPlan, (ii) a Modification made by anyone other than PowerPlan or at PowerPlan’s direction, or (iii) the use of the Software not in accordance with the Documentation, Acceptable Use Policy, API TOU, this Agreement, or the applicable Order From; or (b) relates to the content or the Client’s right to collect, store, process or use the Hosted Data, including any claim that the Hosted Data infringes any patent, copyright, or trademark, or misappropriates any trade secret.
Process. The indemnifications provided in this Section 10 are conditioned on: (a) Client giving PowerPlan prompt written notice of such claim; (b) Client providing its full cooperation in the defense of such claim, if requested by PowerPlan at PowerPlan’s expense; and (c) Client granting PowerPlan the sole authority to defend or settle the claim, provided that PowerPlan shall not enter into a settlement which requires Client to admit fault or guilt or pay fees, expenses or penalties which are not otherwise covered under the obligations contained in this Section 10. Client may engage legal counsel to monitor, but not control, any such claim at Client’s sole cost and expense. THE INDEMNITIES IN SECTIONS 10.1 AND 10.2 STATE POWERPLAN’S SOLE OBLIGATION, AND CLIENT’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH INDEMNITIES.

SUSPENSION, TERM, AND TERMINATION

Suspension of Cloud Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, PowerPlan may suspend Client’s access or use of the Software deployed via Cloud Services in the event of: (a) Client’s material, uncured breach of this Agreement, including without limitation failure to pay the applicable Fees; (b) an actual or reasonably suspected security threat reasonably requiring suspension of the Cloud Services to protect or prevent damage to Hosted Data, the data of PowerPlan’s customers, or the Platform or PowerPlan’s IT infrastructure; or (c) PowerPlan’s reasonable belief that Client’s access or use of the Cloud Services or Software violates any applicable law, rule or regulation.
Term. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and terminate once there are no active Order Forms unless terminated earlier in accordance with Section 12.3. Except to the extent terminated earlier in accordance with Section 12.3, each Order Form shall continue for the License Term, Maintenance Term, Managed Services Term, and/or Cloud Term, as applicable, unless either party provides written notice to the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-current Initial License Term, Initial Maintenance Term, Initial Managed Services Term, and/or Initial Cloud Term or Additional License Term, Additional Maintenance Term, Additional Managed Services Term, and/or Additional Cloud Term, respectively, as applicable, of its intent to not renew.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, termination or expiration of all Software licenses grants under this agreement will necessarily result in the immediate termination of all Services.
Termination. This Agreement may only be terminated by a party:
1. if the other party materially breaches a provision of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of the receipt of written notice of such breach, except that Client shall not be entitled to a thirty (30) day cure period for any non-remediable breach of this Agreement; or
2. if any assignment is made by the other party for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver, trustee in bankruptcy or similar officer shall be appointed to take charge of any or all of the other party's property, or if the other party files a voluntary petition under federal bankruptcy laws or similar state statutes or such a petition is filed against the other party and is not dismissed within sixty (60) days.
Effects of Expiration or Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, including those related to the provision, access and use of the Software, APIs, Documentation, and Services, shall cease, except as follows or as otherwise noted in Section 13.26:
1. Client’s liability for any Fees, charges, or payments due to PowerPlan that accrued prior to the termination date shall not be extinguished by termination, and such amounts shall be immediately due and payable.
2. Each party shall return to the other party any Confidential Information in its possession or control.
3. Upon written request by Client made within ten (10) days following termination or expiration of any Cloud Services, PowerPlan will make a copy of the Hosted Data in unstructured form available to Client for extraction or download in a comma delimited, CSV, or other standard format specified by PowerPlan. Prior to or within ten (10) days following termination or expiration of any Cloud Services, Client may request that PowerPlan provide additional services related to the transition of data or other reasonable services related to such termination (“Termination Services”). All Termination Services shall be subject to the payment of additional fees pursuant to a separate statement of work. In no event shall PowerPlan be required to disclose PowerPlan’s metadata or Application Database in connection with the provision of Hosted Data or other Termination Services.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Data Analytics; Product Development. PowerPlan may collect data resulting from Authorized Users’ use of the Software, APIs, and Services, such as metadata, performance metrics, and usage trends or volume (“Usage Data”). PowerPlan may use the Usage Data and Client Data for its legitimate business purposes, including but not limited to: product improvement (in particular, product features and functionality, workflows and user interfaces) and development of new products and services; improving resource allocation and support; internal demand planning; training and developing machine learning algorithms; improving product performance; verification of security and data integrity; identification of industry trends and developments, creation of indices, and anonymous benchmarking; and to fulfill PowerPlan’s contractual obligations. Except to provide the Software, APIs, or Services, or as required by law, any external disclosure of Usage Data or Client Data by PowerPlan will be in an aggregated form that does not identify or otherwise permit the identification of Client, any Authorized Users, or other persons, unless Client consents otherwise or initiates the sharing of Usage Data or Client Data.
Insurance. PowerPlan will maintain continuously during the License Term commercial general liability insurance with limits of no less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate, automobile liability insurance with limits of no less than $1,000,000 combined single limit coverage, Professional Liability (including errors & omissions coverage and cyber liability coverage during the Cloud Services Term) of $2,000,000 each claim and in the aggregate, and statutory Worker’s Compensation insurance. The commercial general liability policy shall be endorsed to add Client as an additional insured as its interest appears. Upon written request, PowerPlan will provide Client with certificates of insurance or evidence of coverage.
Delivery. Delivery of the Software shall be deemed to occur upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the initial date the Software or license keys are made available by PowerPlan for download by Client; (ii) the initial date the base Object Code of the Software, (without regard to any customizations, configurations, conversions, data loads, if applicable) is loaded onto Client’s server by Client, PowerPlan, or an approved third party; (iii) if PowerPlan is providing Cloud Services, when any professional services commence with respect to the Software; or (iv) if PowerPlan is providing Cloud Services, when Client is given access to functionality of the Software.
Offline Components. The operation of certain Software modules may require the use of offline software components designed to be installed on Client’s network ("Offline Components"). Client may need to expressly opt into the use of certain Offline Components; in such cases, the operation of the Software modules which require such Offline Components is contingent on such opt-in by Client. PowerPlan is not responsible for lack of use of the Software due to Client’s refusal to install Offline Components, lack of Client opt-in (where required), or Client opt-out (where enabled). Conditioned upon Client’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, PowerPlan grants Client the following limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as expressly provided herein), royalty-free, revocable license: Client may download, install and run on its network the executable form of Offline Components for purposes of using the Software modules that utilize Offline Components and for which Client has licensed. In addition to the restrictions of this Agreement regarding the Software and APIs, Client may not translate, disassemble, decompile, decrypt, or reverse engineer Offline Components, or authorize or knowingly permit a third party to do any of the foregoing, except to the extent such activities are expressly permitted by law notwithstanding this prohibition or by licensing terms governing use of open-source components included with Offline Components. PowerPlan may, from time to time, update Offline Components. Offline Components and all copies thereof are licensed and not sold, and are protected by applicable law, including United States and foreign copyright laws and international treaties. The licenses in this section shall terminate at the earlier of the termination or expiration of this Agreement or the termination or expiration of Client’s license to the Software module(s) that utilize Offline Components. Upon license termination, Client must cease all use of Offline Components and promptly delete all copies, full or partial, thereof that are in Client’s possession or control. The Service Level Policy shall not apply to Offline Components and to the operation of the Software module(s) dependent, in whole or in part, on Offline Components. The Security Policy shall not apply to Offline Components.
Mobile Platform. Client agrees that transferring data and information over the Internet and the use of mobile devices is inherently dangerous and subject to computer system and network security breaches and failure. As a result, Client agrees that it is using Mobile Platform (the “App”) at its own risk and that in no event shall PowerPlan be held liable for any loss or damages related to use of the App, however caused, including, but not limited to, loss or damages caused from unauthorized access to Client Data or Hosted Data, as applicable, systems and mobile devices. No warranty is given by PowerPlan to prevent such access. Client is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of its login names and passwords and accepts responsibility for all damages that may occur because of such mobile access. If Client has reason to believe that someone is using any of its account(s) without permission, Client must contact PowerPlan immediately. PowerPlan will not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from the misuse of Client login names and passwords.
Third-Party Components. PowerPlan’s products and services may include third-party components that are available under open source or free software licenses and distributed, embedded, or bundled with PowerPlan’s products or services or recommended in connection with their use. This Agreement does not alter any rights or obligations Client may have under those open source or free software licenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in such licenses, Sections 9.4 and 11 shall apply to such third-party components.
Subcontractors. PowerPlan may utilize subcontractors in the performance of certain obligations under this Agreement. PowerPlan shall remain responsible for the performance, acts, and omissions of subcontractors to the same extent as if performed by PowerPlan.

Governing Law; Venue. The law that will apply in any dispute or lawsuit arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, and the courts that have jurisdiction over any such dispute or lawsuit, depend on where Client is domiciled. Each party agrees to the applicable governing law below without regard to choice or conflicts of law rules, and, subject to Section 13.13, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the applicable courts below. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to the Agreement.

If Client is domiciled in:	Governing law is:	Exclusive venue is:
Any country besides Canada	State of Georgia and controlling United States federal law	State and federal courts in Cobb County, Georgia, USA

Entire Agreement. This Agreement includes any separately executed contracts between Client and PowerPlan relating to this Agreement, each of which is incorporated by reference, and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof. No waiver, consent, modification, or change of terms of this Agreement shall bind either party unless in writing signed by both parties, and then such waiver, consent, modification, or change shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in any supplier portal terms and conditions, purchase order, purchase order acknowledgement, or similar document shall in any way modify or add any additional terms or conditions to this Agreement.
Order of Precedence. In the event of a direct conflict between an Order Form, this Agreement, or an Exhibit, such documents shall take priority in the order noted above.
Waiver. The waiver by either party of a breach or a default of any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or any other provision, nor, except as otherwise expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, shall any delay or omission on the part of either party to exercise or avail itself of any right, power or privilege that it has, or may have hereunder, operate as a waiver of any right, power, or privilege by such party.
Severability. If any provision in this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be construed, limited, modified, or severed to the extent necessary to eliminate its invalidity or unenforceability, and the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
Injunctive Relief. The parties agree that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy if Sections 5 or 8 of this Agreement are breached and that the non-breaching party will suffer irreparable damage, and therefore, either party, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies, shall be entitled to seek an injunction or similar equitable relief against such breach or threatened breach.
Assignment. Except in connection with a merger or sale involving a majority of the stock or assets of a party, neither this Agreement or any Order Forms and the rights and obligations thereunder, may be assigned in whole or in part by either party without the prior written consent of the other party. In the case of any permitted assignment or transfer of or under this Agreement, this Agreement or the relevant provisions shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors, executors, heirs, representatives, administrators, and assigns of the parties hereto. Any attempt at assignment without such consent shall be null and void and of no force and effect. Any applicable Fees resulting from any permitted assignment will be based on PowerPlan’s current pricing, terms, and conditions.
Compliance with Laws; Code of Conduct. Both parties shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations in their performance under this Agreement including without limitation all applicable laws and regulations enacted to combat bribery and corruption, promote transparency in government through freedom of information, and regulate the export of software and technology. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing requirement, Client shall not allow Authorized Users or Affiliates to access or use any Software or APIs in violation of applicable export controls laws and represents and warrants that it is not an individual, business, organization, or government owned, controlled by or acting on behalf of an individual, business, organization or government which is prohibited from using the Software or APIs per applicable export control laws. PowerPlan expects all PowerPlan Personnel to conduct PowerPlan’s business in accordance with the Code of Conduct, which PowerPlan Personnel acknowledge at least annually.
License to the Government. If any Software license is acquired by or on behalf of a unit or agency of the United States federal government, it agrees that the Software and Documentation are "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation", respectively, and that, absent a written agreement with PowerPlan to the contrary, its rights with respect to the Software are, in the case of civilian agency use, Restricted Rights, as defined in FAR §52.227.19, and if for Department of Defense use, limited by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to DFARS §227.7202. Use of the Software and Documentation by the United States federal government constitutes acknowledgment of PowerPlan’s proprietary rights therein, and of the exclusive applicability of this Agreement.
Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for failure or inability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or an Order Form due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including, acts of any governmental body, war, insurrection, sabotage, armed conflict, embargo, fire, flood, strike or other labor disturbance, interruption of or delay in transportation, unavailability of or interruption or delay in telecommunications or third party services, malware attacks or hackers, failure of third party services (including ecommerce services, payment gateways, chat, statistics or free scripts) or inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power used in or equipment. This provision shall not apply to payment obligations.
No Agency; Independent Contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute either party as the agent or representative of the other party, or both parties as joint venturers or partners for any purpose.
Third Party Beneficiaries. There are no express or implied third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
Non-Exclusivity. PowerPlan shall not be limited or precluded in any way from providing the Software, APIs, Documentation, or Services of any kind to any person or entity as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.
Usage Compliance; Audit.
1. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year following its expiration or termination, Client shall maintain and make available to PowerPlan records sufficient to permit PowerPlan or an independent auditor retained by PowerPlan to verify, upon ten (10) days written notice, Client’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, that such audit shall be performed during regular business hours and subject to Client’s reasonable confidentiality requirements. PowerPlan may, but is not required to, monitor or audit Client’s usage of the Software and APIs to ensure compliance with this Agreement and the applicable Order Form, including without limitation Client’s compliance with the License Usage Restrictions. Additionally, upon written notice PowerPlan may require Client to attest to its compliance with the License Usage Restrictions. If such audit, verification, or attestation process reveals any noncompliance with this Agreement or the applicable Order Form by Client, Affiliates, or Authorized Users, Client shall pay the applicable Fees and shall reimburse PowerPlan for the reasonable costs and expenses of such audit (including, but not limited to the fees of an independent auditor) incurred by PowerPlan, and Client shall promptly cure, and shall cause the Affiliates and Authorized Users to promptly cure, any such noncompliance; provided, however, that the obligations under this Section are not a waiver of PowerPlan’s other rights under this Agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise.
2. Authorized Vendors shall maintain and make available to PowerPlan records sufficient to permit PowerPlan or an independent auditor retained by PowerPlan to verify, upon ten (10) business days prior written notice, such Authorized Vendor’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, that such audit shall be performed during regular business hours and subject to Authorized Vendor’s reasonable security and confidentiality requirements.

Client shall send a courtesy copy of notices to PowerPlan via email to contracts@powerplan.com. PowerPlan will email billing-related notices to the billing contact that Client designates. PowerPlan will email administrative and account-related notices to the system administrator that Client designates. Email notice shall be deemed given when sent.

The dispute will be referred for resolution first to the President or Chief Executive Officer of PowerPlan and their counterpart at Client. Such procedure will be invoked by either party presenting to the other a "Notice of Request for Resolution of Dispute” (a “Notice") identifying the issues in dispute sought to be addressed hereunder. A telephone or personal conference of those executives will be held within ten (10) days after the delivery of the Notice. If the telephone or personal conference between these executives, for any reason, does not take place or does not resolve the dispute, either party may proceed with litigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of law or equity to assert, protect or enforce its rights in: (i) any Intellectual Property Rights; or (ii) Confidential Information as described in this Agreement.
