In order to obtain such a report, Subscriber must enter into an agreement with the third party provider of the report.

5.5 ACCUR8 shall report to Subscriber, with all relevant details (except those which could prejudice the security of data uploaded by other customers), any event that ACCUR8 reasonably believes represents unauthorized access to, disclosure of, use of, or damage to Content (a “Security Breach”). ACCUR8 shall make such report within 72 hours after learning of the Security Breach.

5.6 In the event of a Security Breach, ACCUR8 shall (a) cooperate with Subscriber to identify the cause of the breach and to identify any affected Content; (b) assist and cooperate with Subscriber in investigating and preventing the recurrence of the Security Breach; (c) assist and cooperate with Subscriber in any litigation or investigation against third parties that Subscriber undertake to protect the security and integrity of Content; and (d) use commercially reasonable endeavors to mitigate any harmful effect of the Security Breach.

6. LEGAL COMPLIANCE

6.1 ACCUR8 maintains that its primary duty is to protect the Content to the extent the law allows. ACCUR8 reserves the right to provide the Confidential Information to third parties as required and permitted by law (such as in response to a subpoena or court order), and to cooperate with law enforcement authorities in the investigation of any criminal or civil matter.

If ACCUR8 is required by law to make any disclosure of the Confidential Information that is prohibited or otherwise constrained by this Agreement, then ACCUR8 will provide Subscriber with prompt written notice (to the extent permitted by law) prior to such disclosure so that the Subscriber may seek a protective order or other appropriate relief. Subject to the foregoing sentence, ACCUR8 may furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information that it is legally compelled or otherwise legally required to disclose.

6.2 ACCUR8 will only accept legal requests for production of Content or other Confidential Information through the procedures listed in the Section 6.3 below.

6.3 ACCUR8 accepts service of process by certified mail at the physical address set forth below. Any notices that you provide without compliance with this section shall have no legal effect. No employee or office location other than listed below is authorized to accept service of process on behalf of ACCUR8.

ACCUR8, INC.
777 S ROHLWING ROAD
ADDISON, IL 60101

ACCUR8 does not accept service of process via email or electronic communications.

6.4 Pursuant to this Agreement ACCUR8 is contractually required to notify Subscribers of requests for their information from third parties, unless prohibited by law from doing so. ACCUR8 will provide Subscriber with prompt written notice prior to any disclosure requests so that the Subscriber may seek a protective order or other appropriate relief.

6.5 ACCUR8 may seek reimbursement for costs associated with responding to requests for information as provided by law. Such fees will be calculated based upon the nature and volume of the data requested, and any burdensome requirements imposed by the request. Labor costs and legal fees may be included in costs requiring reimbursement.

Where permitted by law, ACCUR8 may require a signed agreement with the third-party requesting Subscriber information outlining the nature of costs being incurred and a commitment to reimburse ACCUR8 prior to producing requested information.

7. MANAGED BACKUP AND ARCHIVING

7.1 ACCUR8’s managed backup services must be designed to facilitate restoration of Content to the server or device from which the Content originated in the event the primary data is lost or corrupted. ACCUR8 shall ensure recovery of lost or corrupted Content at no cost to you. Following any cancellation or termination of Service for any reason, Subscriber shall have ninety days to retrieve any and all Content.

8. PAYMENT, REFUNDS, AND SUBSCRIPTION CHANGES

8.1 Subscribers with paid subscriptions will provide ACCUR8 with a valid credit card for payment of the applicable subscription fees. All subscription fees are exclusive of all federal, state, provincial, municipal, or other taxes which Subscribers agree to pay based on where the Subscriber is located. Invoices will include (i) subscription fees and (ii) all applicable sales taxes, as amended from time to time, for the jurisdiction in which the Subscriber is located. In the event of updated tax rates, ACCUR8 will apply the new tax rate without notice to the Subscriber. In addition to any fees, the Subscriber may still incur charges incidental to using the Service, for example, charges for Internet access, data roaming, and other data transmission charges.

8.2 Subscribers with monthly paying subscriptions will be charged upon the expiration of any applicable free trial period. Subscriptions cancelled prior to the expiration of any trial period, will not be charged. Monthly Subscribers will thereafter be charged in advance each 30 days. Annual Subscribers will thereafter be charged annually on the anniversary date of the initial subscription charge. All charges are final and non-refundable, including payments made by Annual Subscribers, setup fees, and other professional services charges.

Subscribers who purchased setup or professional services, like tailored live training, customized forms and documents, or migration services, must initiate those services within sixty (60) days (Service Window) following their purchase. Absent a separate invoice, the date of purchase for setup or professional services will be deemed to be the initial date of entry of a valid credit card for payment as required in Section 8.1. Failure of the Subscriber to initiate purchased setup or professional services within Service Window will result in those services no longer being available and no refund will be issued.

8.3 No refunds or credits will be issued for partial periods of service, upgrade/downgrade refunds, or refunds for periods unused with an active subscription, including, but not limited to, instances involving the removal of a Subscriber.

8.4 There are no charges for cancelling a subscription and paying subscriptions cancelled prior to the end of their current billing cycle will not be charged again in the following cycle.

8.5 The amount charged on the next billing cycle will be automatically updated to reflect any changes to the subscription, including upgrades or downgrades, and including the addition or removal of discounts included for the purchase of suite services. Adding Authorized User subscriptions or subscription upgrades will trigger prorated charges in the current billing cycle. Subscriber authorizes ACCUR8 to apply updated charge amounts. Subscription changes, including downgrades, may result in loss of access to Content, features, or an increase or reduction in the amount of available capacity for Content provided by the Service.

8.6 All prices are subject to change upon notice. Such notice may be provided by an e-mail message to the Administrator, or in the form of an announcement on the Service.

8.7 Subscriber is responsible for paying all taxes associated with the subscription to the Service. If ACCUR8 has the legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which Subscriber is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount shall be charged to and paid by Subscriber, unless Subscriber provides ACCUR8 with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

8.8 Any and all payments by or on account of the compensation payable under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any taxes. If the Subscriber is required to deduct or withhold any taxes from such payments, then the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions or withholdings, ACCUR8 receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

9. CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION

9.1 Administrators are solely responsible for canceling subscriptions. An Administrator may cancel their subscription at any time by accessing the Service and visiting app.ACCUR8.services/settings/subscription/edit as applicable. For security reasons, cancellations shall only be performed by an Administrator using the account cancellation URL within the Service. The Administrator may be directed, within the Service, to call support to complete the cancellation. Cancellations shall not be accepted by any other means.

9.2 ACCUR8 in its sole discretion has the right to suspend or discontinue providing the Service to any Subscriber without notice for actions that are (a) in material violation of this Agreement and (b) create a Security Emergency.

9.3 If (i) Authorized Users use the Service to materially violate this Agreement in a way that does not create a Security Emergency; (ii) ACCUR8 provides Subscriber with commercially reasonable notice of this violation; (iii) ACCUR8 uses commercially reasonable efforts to discuss and resolve the violation with Subscriber; and (iv) despite the foregoing, the violation is not resolved to ACCUR8’s reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days of such notice, then ACCUR8 reserves the right to suspend access to the Service.

9.4 As required by Section 7 above (“Managed Backup and Archiving”), upon cancellation or termination of a subscription, Content is made available to the Administrator or a designated Authorized User. Following a period of no less than ninety (90) days from the cancellation or termination of a subscription, all Content associated with such subscription will be irrevocably deleted from the Service. All Escrowed Data, if any, will continue to remain available for a period of six months upon cancellation or termination of a subscription in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

10.1 Except in the case of a violation by ACCUR8 of its obligations under Section 4 above (“Confidentiality”), Section 5 above (“Security and Access”), and Section 7 above (“Managed Backup and Archiving”), and except as provided in Section 12.2 below (“Indemnification”), ACCUR8 shall not be liable for and Subscriber waives the right to claim any loss, injury, claim, liability or damage of any kind resulting in any way from the Services provided to Subscriber by ACCUR8.

10.2 SUBSCRIBER AGREES THAT THE LIABILITY OF ACCUR8 ARISING OUT OF ANY CLAIM IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID FOR THE SERVICE PURSUANT TO THE AGREEMENT WITHIN THE SIX MONTH PERIOD BEFORE THE DATE THE CLAIM AROSE. SUBSCRIBER FURTHER AGREES THAT ACCUR8 IS NOT AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEY FEES) RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. THESE DISCLAIMERS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER THOSE DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER ACCUR8 HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES. THESE DISCLAIMERS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.2. EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS OF THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICING OFFERED BY ACCUR8 TO SUBSCRIBER AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE FROM AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

10.3 Subscriber will solely be responsible for any damage and/or loss of Content contained in Subscriber’s technology which occurs as a result of Subscriber’s electronic equipment and/or Subscriber’s computer system.

11. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

11.1 ACCUR8 HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO ANY SERVICES PROVIDED BY ACCUR8. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 11.1 SHALL MODIFY ACCUR8’S OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY SUBSCRIBER AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 12.2(A) OF THIS AGREEMENT (“INDEMNIFICATION”).

11.2 ACCUR8 makes no warranty that its services when provided to Subscriber in digital or electronic format will be compatible with Subscriber computer and/or other equipment, or that these Services will be secure or error free. Nor does ACCUR8 make any warranty as to any results that may be obtained from the use of the Service. Nothing in this Section 11.2 shall modify ACCUR8’s obligations under Section 4 above (“Confidentiality”) or Section 5 above (“Security and Access”) or ACCUR8’s obligation to indemnify you as required by Section 12.2(b) of this Agreement (“Indemnification”).

11.3 ACCUR8 hereby disclaims all warranties of any kind related to Subscriber’s hardware or software beyond the warranties provided by the manufacturer of Subscriber’s hardware or software.

12. INDEMNIFICATION

12.1 Subscriber hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless ACCUR8 from and against any claim, action, proceeding, loss, liability, judgment, obligation, penalty, damage, cost or expense, including attorneys’ fees, which arise from or relate to the following:

a. Authorized Users’ breach of any obligation stated in this Agreement, and
b. Authorized Users’ negligent acts or omissions.

ACCUR8 will provide prompt notice to Subscriber of any indemnifiable event or loss. Subscriber will undertake, at Subscriber’s own cost, the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably acceptable to ACCUR8. ACCUR8 reserves the right to participate in the defense of the claim, suit, or proceeding, at ACCUR8’s expense, with counsel of ACCUR8’s choosing.

12.2 ACCUR8 shall defend, indemnify and hold Subscriber harmless against any loss, damage or costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with claims, demands, suits, or proceedings (“Claims”) made or brought against Subscriber by a third party

a. alleging that the Service, or use of the Service as contemplated hereunder, infringes a copyright, a U.S. patent issued as of the date of final execution of this Agreement, or a trademark of a third party or involves the misappropriation of any trade secret of a third party; provided, however, that Subscriber:

(a) promptly gives written notice of the Claim to ACCUR8 (provided, however, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve ACCUR8 of its indemnification obligations unless ACCUR8 can show that it was materially prejudiced by such delay and then only to the extent of such prejudice); (b) gives ACCUR8 sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (provided that ACCUR8 may not settle any Claim unless it unconditionally releases Subscriber of all liability); and (c) provides to ACCUR8, at ACCUR8’s cost, all reasonable assistance. ACCUR8 shall not be required to indemnify Subscriber in the event of: (x) modification of the Service by Subscriber in conflict with Subscriber’s obligations or as a result of any prohibited activity as set forth herein to the extent that the infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred but for such modification; (y) use of the Service in combination with any other product or service not provided by ACCUR8 to the extent that the infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred but for such use; or (z) use of the Service in a manner not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement to the extent that the infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred but for such use; or

b. arising out of or related to a violation by ACCUR8 of its obligations under Section 4 above (“Confidentiality”) or Section 5 above (“Security and Access”),

ACCUR8 will make reasonable efforts to provide notice to Subscriber prior to such access and transfer. ACCUR8’s actions will comply with its obligations under Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement.
