Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order Form (i) fees are based on services purchased and not actual usage; (ii) payment obligations are non-cancelable; and (iii) fees paid are non-refundable. All fees are exclusive of taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and Customer shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties (excluding taxes based on Whil’s income), even if such amounts are not listed on an Order. Customer shall pay all fees in U.S. Dollars or in such other currency as agreed to in writing by the parties.

4.2. Invoicing and Payment.

All amounts invoiced hereunder are due and payable as specified in the Order. Unpaid invoices that are not the subject of a written good faith dispute 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 reasonable expenses of collection. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Whil and notifying Whil of any changes to such information. If at any time Whil determines that Customer is exceeding the Usage Rights, Whil shall notify Customer and Customer shall bring its usage within the limits of such Usage Rights. If Customer fails to do so within 30 days of receipt of Whil’s notice, Whil reserves the right to charge and Customer agrees to pay Whil’s then-current usage fees for such overage. Whil may immediately suspend Customer’s password, account, and access to the Services if (i) Customer fails to make payment due within ten business days after Whil has provided Customer with notice of such failure; or (ii) Customer violates Section 3, or 7 of these Terms and Conditions. Any suspension by Whil of the Services under the preceding sentence shall not relieve Customer of its payment obligations under the Agreement.

4.5. Accrued User Fees.

Where specified in the Order Form, Authorized Users may be required to pay a monthly fee for their individual Premium Coverage subscription, or a proportion thereof, and their financial contributions accrued by Whil until the end of the term (“Accrued User Fees”). Upon Customer renewal at the end of the term, and where reflected on the Order From, Customer may use the Accrued User Fees as a credit when renewing Premium Coverage plans to effectively lower the cost of the following year’s program. Should the Agreement be cancelled, Customer will forfeit any remaining Accrued User Fees.

Each party may have access to the other party’s information, which shall be deemed confidential information if identified as such by the disclosing party or if the information by its nature is normally and reasonably considered confidential, such as information regarding products, methodology, research, customers, business partners, business plans and any information which provides a competitive advantage. The receiving party shall protect the disclosing party’s confidential information with the same degree of care it uses for the receiving party’s own confidential information (and at least a reasonable degree of care), shall use the information only to carry out this Agreement, and shall disclose the information only to the receiving party’s employees (or agents bound by similar confidentiality obligations) with a need to know for that purpose. Confidential information shall remain the property of the disclosing party and shall be destroyed upon request. Notwithstanding the above, the receiving party shall be required to accelerate the destruction of any archival back-up tapes created in the ordinary course of business, even if such archival back-up tapes contain confidential information.

9.1. Indemnification by Whil.

Whil shall indemnify and hold harmless Customer and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any claim by a third party to the extent such claim alleges that the use of the Services by Customer and its Authorized Users in accordance with its intended purpose or any material created, prepared, or developed by Whil and delivered through the Services infringes any patent, copyright, trademark, service mark or trade secret rights. If Whil believes the Services are or may become the subject of a claim of infringement, Whil may, at its option and expense, procure for itself and/or Customer and its Authorized Users the right to continue to use the Services, or modify or replace the Services to make the Services non-infringing and functionally equivalent.

9.2. Indemnification by Customer.

Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless Whil and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), arising out of any claim by a third party to the extent such claim is based on the Customer Content (including but not limited to use of the Customer Content as permitted hereunder) or on Customer’s use of the Services other than in accordance with this Agreement.

9.3. Procedures.

The party seeking indemnification shall provide detailed written notice to the indemnifying party promptly after learning of the claim, and the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to indemnify to the extent it is materially prejudiced by any delay in such notice.

Each party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of a force majeure event. If such event continues for more than 30 days, either party may cancel unperformed Services upon written notice. This section does not excuse either party of its obligations to take reasonable steps to follow its normal disaster recovery procedures or Customer’s obligation to pay for the Services provided.

11.4. Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waiver.

With respect to its subject matter, this Agreement and the Order Form(s) represents the parties’ entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and representations, written or oral, between the parties. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in two or more counterparts or with electronic or facsimile signatures, and may not be amended except by a writing signed by the party to be bound. The failure of a party to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall in no manner affect its right to enforce the provision.

Any provision of this Agreement which is held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability and without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remainder of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction, and the court or tribunal so holding shall be empowered to substitute, to the extent enforceable, provisions similar to said provision, or other provisions, so as to provide to the parties the benefits intended by said provision to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

11.7. Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

Except as expressly stated otherwise herein, neither party may assign or transfer (including by operation of law) any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the written consent of the other party, except that either party may, without such consent, assign or transfer this Agreement to a successor to the business of such party by merger, sale of assets or otherwise. Any assignment or transfer, or attempted assignment or transfer, in violation of this Agreement is void ab initio. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon anyone other than the parties hereto.

The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act will not apply to the Agreement. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under the Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorney’s fees. The failure of either party to enforce any right or provision in the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by such party in writing.
