Confidential Information. From time to time during the Term, either Party may disclose or make available to the other Party information about its business affairs, products, confidential intellectual property, trade secrets, third-party confidential information, and other sensitive or proprietary information, whether orally or in written, electronic, or other form or media/in written or electronic form or media, whether or not marked, designated or otherwise identified as “confidential” (collectively, “Confidential Information”).

Each Party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the Effective Date and will expire five 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 SaaS Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law. Each party understands and agrees that the other party may suffer irreparable harm in the event that the receiving party of Confidential Information breaches any of its obligations under this Section 8 and that monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate the non-breaching party for such breach.

Upon expiration of the Purchase Order Initial Term, each Purchase Order will automatically renew for one additional twelve (12) month period for 1 year Purchase Order Initial Terms and twelve additional one (1) month periods for 1 month Purchase Order Initial Terms (each a “Renewal Term”). Customer may opt-out of such automatic renewals by providing RoboKind with written notice of non-renewal no later than sixty (60) days’ for 1 year Terms and fifteen (15) days’ for 1 month Terms, prior to expiration of the then current Purchase Order Initial Term or Renewal Term.

 

The Purchase Order Initial Term or Renewal Term will remain in effect until the earlier to occur of:

termination of such Purchase Order by either party for cause as described in Section 11(c) below;

termination of such Purchase Order upon mutual written consent of the parties; or

 

expiration of the Purchase Order Initial Term with no renewal, as described in this Section 11(b).

 

Termination for Cause. A party may terminate a Purchase Order and/or this SaaS Agreement:

upon receipt of written notice (specifying the default or breach) from the non-defaulting party, if the other party is in default or breach of a material obligation in a Service Order or this Agreement. If such default or breach can be and is cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice, then the Purchase Order and Agreement will remain in effect;

 

as set forth in Section 15(l); or

 

if the non-terminating party enters into liquidation (apart from a solvent liquidation for the purposes of amalgamation or reconstruction) or is dissolved or declared bankrupt or has a receiver, administrator or administrative receiver appointed over all or part of its assets or enters into an arrangement with its creditors or takes or suffers any similar action.

 

Effect of Expiration or Termination. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this SaaS Agreement, Customer shall immediately discontinue use of the RoboKind IP and, without limiting Customer’s obligations under Section 8, Customer shall delete, destroy, or return all copies of the RoboKind IP and certify in writing to the RoboKind that the RoboKind IP has been deleted or destroyed. No expiration or termination will affect Customer’s obligation to pay all Fees under all outstanding Purchase Orders and/or that may have become due before such expiration or termination, plus related taxes and expenses, and any past due payments, within thirty (30) days of such expiration or termination, or entitle Customer to any refund.

NOTICES. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required between the parties will be in writing and in the English language and will be deemed effective as follows: (i) if delivered in person, on the date it is delivered; (ii) if sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, five (5) business days from the date such notice was posted through the U.S. Postal Service (or other applicable postal delivery service), (iii) if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier, one (1) business day after the sender provides it to the courier for dispatch; (iv) if by e-mail properly addressed to the receiving party at the address provided by the receiving party and sent via the Internet as may be evidenced by computer records or any archival copy kept in the ordinary course of business by the sender, provided the sender sends it before 6:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on a business day in the U.S., the Notice will be deemed effective on the date it was sent; otherwise it will be deemed effective on the next U.S. business day. Any notices or other communications or deliveries required will be sent to each party at the address set forth at the beginning of this Agreement, or to such other address provided in writing to the other party in accordance with this Agreement, or in the case of Support Services, notice information may be changed in accordance with the SLA.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Assignment. A party may not assign this SaaS Agreement, or any of its rights, obligations or privileges under this SaaS Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party. A party may, however, without having to obtain the other party’s prior written consent, assign this SaaS Agreement, and its rights, obligations and privileges under this SaaS Agreement, to any successor by merger, or any purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets or a majority of the stock of such party, provided such successor is not a competitor of the other party. Any attempted assignment, delegation or assumption of this SaaS Agreement not in accordance with this Section will be null and void and of no force or effect. The terms and conditions of this SaaS Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy (“Disputes”) arising out of or related to this SaaS Agreement shall be settled by binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. The arbitration shall take place in Dallas, Texas, USA. Reseller acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Section 14.3 do not apply to any breach or alleged breach of confidentiality or proprietary rights provisions and that, in the event of any such breach of alleged breach, RoboKind will be entitled to equitable and injunctive relief in addition to all other remedies provided by this SaaS Agreement or available at law.

Severability. If any provision of this SaaS Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the other provisions of this SaaS Agreement and such other provisions will remain in full force and effect. The parties agree to attempt to substitute for any invalid or unenforceable provision a valid and enforceable provision which achieves, to the greatest extent possible, the same effect as would have been achieved by the invalid or unenforceable provision.

Survival. The terms, conditions or warranties contained in this SaaS Agreement that by their sense and context are intended to survive the performance thereof by either party will so survive the completion of the performance or termination of this SaaS Agreement, including without limitation, Section 10 (Disclaimer of Warranties), Section 8 (Confidentiality), Section 11 (Indemnification), Section 12 (Limitation of Liability), and the relevant sections of this Section 15 (Miscellaneous).

Compliance with Laws; Export. Each party will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and codes (including procurement of permits and licenses, when needed) of their respective states, territories, and/or countries in the performance of this SaaS Agreement, provided such compliance is not in violation of the U.S. Government’s Export and Anti-boycott Rules and Regulations. The Services and related technical information, documents and materials are subject to export controls under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and other applicable laws. Customer represents and warrants that it will (a) comply strictly with all legal requirements established under these controls; (b) cooperate fully with RoboKind in any audit or inspection that relates to these controls; and (c) not export, re-export, divert or transfer, directly or indirectly, any such item to any country or person who or which is embargoed by Executive Order or any applicable law, including any rules, regulations or policies promulgated thereunder, unless Customer has obtained the prior written authorization of RoboKind and the appropriate governmental authority. Customer will indemnify, defend and hold RoboKind harmless from all claims, damages and related expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by RoboKind that result from Customer’s breach of this provision.

US Government Rights. Each of the Documentation and the software components that constitute the Services is a “commercial item” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212. Accordingly, if Customer is an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefor, Customer only receives those rights with respect to the Services and Documentation as are granted to all other end users, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. § 227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. § 227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. § 12.212, with respect to all other US Government users and their contractors.

Limitations on Actions. Each party agrees that no claim (other than Infringement Claims) related to or arising under this SaaS Agreement will be brought more than two years after the time that the claim accrued.

Waiver. Any failure or delay by either party to exercise or partially exercise any right, power or privilege will not be deemed a waiver of any of the rights, power or privileges under this SaaS Agreement. A waiver by either party of a breach of any term, condition, or provision of this SaaS Agreement will not operate as, or be construed as, a waiver of any subsequent breach.

Governing Law; Jurisdiction & Venue. Any and all claims arising under or related to this SaaS Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA. This SaaS Agreement will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. Exclusive venue for all disputes arising under or related to this SaaS Agreement will be in a state or federal court with competent jurisdiction located in the City and County of Dallas, Texas, and each party agrees not to bring an action in any other venue. Each party agrees to waive all objections to this venue and agrees not to dispute the personal jurisdiction or venue of these courts.

Force Majeure. Except for payments amounts owed under this SaaS Agreement, a party will not be liable for damages resulting from delay or default (provided that party is without fault in causing such delay or default), if such delay or default is caused by conditions beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; natural disasters; war or other hostilities; labor disputes; civil disturbances; pandemics, disease, or epidemics; governmental acts, orders or regulations; or failures or fluctuations in electrical power, heat, lights, air conditioning or telecommunications equipment (each a “Force Majeure Event”). The party affected by the Force Majeure Event must immediately provide notice to the other party in writing of the reason for the delay or default and the likely duration of the delay or default. Except for payments owed under this SaaS Agreement, the performance of the party (or parties) affected by the Force Majeure Event, will be suspended during the Force Majeure Event. If, however, performance is not resumed within sixty (60) days after receiving notice of the Force Majeure Event, the other party may, by notice in writing, immediately terminate this SaaS Agreement.

Media Releases. Each party will treat this SaaS Agreement and its terms as confidential and will make no press release or disclosure, whether written, oral or otherwise, regarding the existence of this SaaS Agreement or transactions contemplated by this SaaS Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the term of this SaaS Agreement and for a period of one (1) year after termination or expiration of this SaaS Agreement, each party agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, for itself or on behalf of any person or entity, solicit any employees of the other party who had significant involvement with delivery of Services or Professional Services under this SaaS Agreement for the purpose of inducing such employees to terminate their employment to become employees or independent contractors. The foregoing will not apply to nonspecific general solicitations (e.g., Internet or newspaper).

Entire SaaS Agreement. This SaaS Agreement (including the Customer Agreement and related agreements therein, including the Display EULA, TOS, Privacy Policy, HIPAA and FERPA Compliance, Limited Warranty, EULA, SLA, and any applicable Exhibits) and the executed Purchase Orders constitute the entire SaaS Agreement, understanding and representations, expressed or implied, between RoboKind and Customer with respect to the subject matters described, and supersede all prior written and oral communications, SaaS Agreements, letters of intent, representations, warranties, statements, negotiations, understandings and proposals, with respect to such subject matters. Headings used in this SaaS Agreement are for ease of reference only and will not affect the construction or interpretation of this SaaS Agreement.
