Customer will not, and will not permit any third party to: reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code or underlying structure, ideas or algorithms of the Services, Documentation or data related to the Services (provided that reverse engineering is prohibited only to the extent such prohibition is not contrary to applicable law); modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Services; use the Services for timesharing or service bureau purposes or for any purpose other than its own benefit; rent, lease, lend, sell, license, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or otherwise make available the Services or Documentation to any third party; remove any proprietary notices from the Services or Documentation; use the Services or Documentation in any manner or for any purpose that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property right or other right of any person; or use the Services other than in accordance with this Agreement and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations,.

2.2.2. Access to Systems. To the extent required to enable certain JazzHR functionality, Customer may in Customer’s sole discretion provide JazzHR access to Customer systems, including, without limitation, email providers and Linkedin accounts solely for the purpose of providing the Services.

Inquiries should be directed to CSM@jazzhr.com. In the event Customer payment of undisputed Fees to JazzHR remains unpaid more than thirty (30) days after an invoice becomes due, or more than ten (10) days after an invoice becomes due for two (2) consecutive payments, all remaining fees due during the Service Term shall become immediately due and payable.

Customer will be billed for the upgraded product level in each subsequent renewal term (each a “Renewal Service Term”), until Customer provides notice requesting a downgrade of Services in accordance with section 9.1 to the extent the Agreement is automatically renewed. Fees for each Renewal Term may be increased by JazzHR once per year at renewal to the then current per unit rate to be applied to the Renewal Service Term fees in an amount. JazzHR reserves the right to change the Renewal Service Term fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and fees at the end of any Service Term solely upon sixty (60) days prior notice to Customer. Without limiting the foregoing, any Renewal Service Term in which the subscription volume or products for any Services has decreased from the prior term will result in re-pricing at renewal without regard to the prior Term’s per-unit pricing and may result in a larger increase in per unit pricing.

3.3 Charges. Fees will be invoiced and charged on the schedule identified in the applicable Order Form via the method of payment identified on the Order Form, which may include credit card or invoice. Where no schedule is identified, Fees will be charged on the effective date of the Order Form and are due upon receipt, unless other payment terms are identified on the Order Form.

3.4 Taxes. Any amounts payable hereunder are exclusive of, and Customer shall be responsible for all taxes, including general sales tax, value added taxes, duties, use taxes, withholdings and other governmental assessments, excluding taxes based on the net income of JazzHR, unless Customer provides to JazzHR a valid tax-exempt certificate. In the case of any withholding requirements, Customer will pay any required withholding itself and will not reduce the amount paid to JazzHR on account thereof.

 

4. Intellectual Property.

4.1 JazzHR IP. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, JazzHR will own and retain all right, title and interest in and to (a) the Services, including all software, improvements, enhancements, modifications, or proprietary methodologies thereto, (b) any software, applications, inventions, methodologies, or other technology developed as part of any professional services (as set forth in an Order Form or statement of work mutually executed by both parties hereto that references this Agreement) or support, and (c) all intellectual property rights related to all of the foregoing. This Agreement does not grant Customer (i) any rights to the Intellectual Property Rights in the Services or (ii) any rights to use the JazzHR trademarks, logos, domain names, or other brand features. “Intellectual Property Rights” means current and future worldwide rights under patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, moral rights, and other similar rights.

5. Confidential Information.

5.1 Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of Customer includes Customer Data; Confidential Information of JazzHR includes the Services, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Order Forms (including pricing). Confidential Information of each party includes business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.

5.2 Protection of Confidential Information. As between the parties, each party retains all ownership rights in and to its Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this “Confidentiality” section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, JazzHR may disclose the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Order Form to a subcontractor to the extent necessary to perform JazzHR’s obligations under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein.

5.3 Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to Confidential Information.
