5.1 Termination. No Services may be terminated or cancelled except in accordance with these T&Cs. A Task Order shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) completion of the Services set forth therein or (ii) the date terminated in accordance with these T&Cs. Either party may terminate a Task Order or any Services for material breach of the other party of any term of these T&Cs by giving written notice to the other party, which termination shall be effective on the date of such written notice unless the other party cures the material breach within (a) ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the notice if the breach constitutes failure to pay Fees, or (b) within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the notice for all other breaches. In addition to the above, this Agreement, including these T&Cs and all Task Orders, as well as all Services, shall automatically terminate upon the termination or expiration of the last remaining Order Form and shall also automatically terminate without notice or a right to cure upon any party’s assignment for the benefit of creditors or any commencement by or against a party of any proceeding in bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization pursuant to bankruptcy laws or laws of debtor’s moratorium. Upon any termination of Services, an Order Form or a Task Order, eOriginal (and Reseller with respect to the Order Form) shall remain entitled to receive payment of all monies and Fees incurred up to and including the effective date of termination or expiration and no refund, offset or reduction will be due to Customer.

5.2 Transition Rights and Services. If Customer failed to export all of its Documents and Customer Data from the Platform Services prior to the expiration or termination of Platform Services, and the termination was for reasons other than Customer’s material breach, Customer may elect in writing prior to the effective date of termination to extend the provision of the Platform Services for a period not longer than sixty (60) days from the original termination date (the “Winding Down Period”) solely for purposes of enabling or performing a transition to a new service provider or otherwise removing all Customer’s Documents and Customer Data from the Platform Services. Fees for Vaults, Audit / Vendor Assessment Services and Platform Services shall continue to be due and payable for Services utilized during the Winding Down Period on a pro rata basis. In no circumstance shall Customer use the Platform Services during the Winding Down Period to upload new Documents or to utilize any eDeposits. If Customer properly elects to wind down in accordance with this Section 5.2, the applicable Platform Services, including related Vaults and Audit / Vendor Assessment Services, shall automatically terminate at the end of the Winding Down Period. In the event that Customer fails to remove all of Customer’s Documents and Customer Data from the Platform Services by the end of the Winding Down Period, or in the event Customer is not entitled to elect the Winding Down Period, Customer may engage eOriginal to perform such removal or to otherwise provide transition Professional Services under a Task Order at eOriginal’s then-current time and materials rates.

5.3. Effect of Termination. Termination by either party of any Services or any Task Order shall effect a termination of such Services or Task Order. Termination or expiration of any single Order Form, Task Order or particular Services shall not effect a termination of the Agreement or any other portion thereof; however, these T&Cs shall automatically terminate upon the termination or expiration of the last remaining effective Order Form or Task Order. Subject to Section 5.2 above, upon the effective date of termination or expiration of any Services, and upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement (each including as extended by any Winding Down Period): (a) all licenses and rights to use and access the Services shall automatically terminate; (b) Customer and all Authorized Users shall cease all use of the Services; (c) eOriginal shall have the right (but not the obligation, except as set forth in Section 5.4) to permanently delete and destroy all Documents, eDeposits and other data (including Customer Data) previously managed under the applicable Order Form or Task Order upon written notice to Customer; and (d) subject to Section 5.2 above with respect to Documents and Customer Data on the Platform Services, each party shall return to the other, or permanently destroy, all Confidential Information of the other party, except as such Confidential Information may be retained in backup or archival storage (and in such case such Confidential Information shall remain subject to the provisions of Section 6, and shall be deleted in the ordinary course of storage rotation).

5.4 Document Retention; Audit Trails. eOriginal shall not be obligated to retain any Documents or Confidential Information of Customer after termination of the Platform Services related to such Documents or Confidential Information unless Applicable Law expressly requires eOriginal to do so.

To the extent any such Audit Trails may contain Confidential Information of Customer, they shall remain subject to the confidentiality provisions of these T&Cs.

Customer hereby grants to eOriginal the right to process, use, disclose, copy, modify, and access the Customer Data, Customer Confidential Information and Documents solely to the extent necessary for eOriginal to provide the Services and as otherwise set forth in the Agreement. Such license includes the right to create the Audit Trail. eOriginal may utilize the Audit Trail and other information tracked by the Platform Services for purposes of improving the Platform Services, providing the Customer with reports on the Customer’s use of the Platform Services, and compiling aggregate statistics and usage patterns by customers using the Platform Services (“Aggregated Data”). All Aggregated Data will be in aggregate form only and will not identify Customer, any Customer Affiliate, any of Customer’s Authorized Users, or any third parties utilizing the Platform Services. Customer acknowledges and agrees that eOriginal may collect, use, and disclose Aggregated Data for industry analysis, benchmarking, analytics, marketing, and other business purposes.

6.2 The Platform Services.

Customer, Customer’s Affiliates and Authorized Users shall have no right, title or interest in any such eOriginal materials, except to the extent of the access rights granted hereunder, and all such rights not expressly granted herein are reserved to eOriginal. eOriginal encourages Customer to provide suggestions, proposals, ideas, recommendations, or other feedback regarding improvements to the Services (“Feedback”).

6.3 Confidentiality. Each party agrees to hold all Confidential Information of the other party in confidence and not to, directly or indirectly, copy, reproduce, distribute, duplicate, reveal, report, publish, disclose, cause to be disclosed or otherwise transfer such Confidential Information to any third party or utilize such Confidential Information for any purpose other than as expressly contemplated by the Agreement. Each party will use at least the same degree of care to prevent disclosing to third parties the other party’s Confidential Information as it employs to avoid unauthorized disclosure, publication or dissemination of its own information of a similar nature, but shall use no less than reasonable care; provided, however, that a party may disclose such information to such party’s Affiliates and their employees and Personnel, and to persons or entities performing services required hereunder or otherwise performing services related to such party’s business operations, where the disclosure is to those of the recipient’s employees or Personnel who have a need to have access to such information in connection with their employment or engagement, so long as such party requires that each such third party owe a legal duty of confidentiality to such party, or have executed a confidentiality agreement containing terms and conditions, at least as protective of the Confidential Information as those set forth herein, and provided further that such disclosing party will remain responsible for any further disclosures or uses of Confidential Information by such third parties as if they were the actions of the disclosing party itself. The confidentiality obligations of the parties under this Section shall apply for five (5) years following the termination of the Agreement and, as to all Confidential Information which constitutes a trade secret under Applicable Law, for so long as such Confidential Information remains protected as a trade secret under Applicable Law.

6.4 Exceptions. Confidential Information shall not include any information which a party can show: (a) was in the public domain at the time of disclosure through no fault of such party; (b) is published or otherwise becomes part of the public domain through no fault of such party; (c) was rightfully already known by, or in the possession of, such party without obligation of confidentiality or other restriction at the time of disclosure; (d) was disclosed, without restriction, by a third party who rightfully received such information and had a lawful right to disclose such information; or (e) was independently developed by such party without reference to, or use of, Confidential Information of the other party. In addition, a party shall not be considered to have breached its obligations under Section 6.3 for disclosing Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is required to satisfy any legal requirement of a competent court or governmental authority (including any state or federal regulatory agency having oversight of a party), provided that, promptly upon receiving any such request, such party notifies the other party prior to making such disclosure (unless prohibited by Applicable Law) to allow such other party to take such action as it deems appropriate to protect the Confidential Information, and reasonably cooperates with such other party (if requested by such other party), at such other party’s expense, in taking such actions.

6.5 Ownership. Each party acknowledges that, as between the parties, all Confidential Information it receives from or on behalf of the disclosing party, including all copies thereof in such party’s possession or control, shall be and remain the sole and exclusive, proprietary property of the disclosing party. Except to the extent expressly stated in these T&Cs, neither party shall have any right, title or interest in or to the other party’s Confidential Information.

8.10 Force Majeure. In the event a party’s performance of these T&Cs, the Services or any part thereof (except for obligations to pay monies) shall be rendered impossible by or as a consequence of any law or any act of any government or political subdivision thereof having jurisdiction over such party, such party shall not be considered in default hereunder by reason of any failure to perform as a result. Any delays in or failure by either party hereto in the performance of any obligations hereunder (except for any obligation to pay money) shall be excused if and to the extent caused by occurrences beyond such party’s reasonable control, including floods, fire, earthquake, riots, transportation conditions, strikes or other labor disturbances, war, whether declared or not, sabotage, or any other cause or causes which cannot be reasonably controlled by such party, and the time for performance shall be extended for the period of delay or inability to perform, provided that the affected party shall use its best efforts to address and mitigate the cause and effect of the force majeure event.

There are no representations, understandings or agreements relating to the Agreement that are not fully expressed herein. These T&Cs may not be modified or amended except by a written instrument executed by or on behalf of each of eOriginal and Customer.

Upon Customer’s request, eOriginal shall reference Customer’s purchase order number on eOriginal invoices. If a conflict arises between these T&Cs, an Order Form, a Task Order, any addendum or exhibit, and any externally referenced document, then the following order of preference, listed in the order of highest to lowest precedence first, shall be as follows: First: each Order Form (as between them, the latest signed Order Form shall take precedence), provided that to the extent an Order Form amends these T&Cs, eOriginal has approved such Order Form; Second: each Task Order (as between them, the latest signed and current Task Order shall take precedence); Third: these T&Cs; Fourth: any addendum or exhibit; and last, any externally referenced document, such as on a website. In the event of any conflict between these T&Cs and any legal terms and conditions imposed by Reseller in any Order Form, these T&Cs shall supersede and control solely as to the relationship between eOriginal and Customer with regard to the provision and receipt of the Services.
