14. Fees and Payment.

14.1 Fees. Licensee shall pay the Reseller 100% of the Setup fees, Professional Service Fees, License Fees and Hosting Service Fees according to the agreement entered into between Licensee and the Reseller. Fees for additional users of the Licensed Software or for additional storage that occur during a monthly period are charged in accordance with Licensee s agreement with the Reseller.

14.2 Suspension of Hosting Service and License. If the Reseller informs Licensor that Licensee s account has charges which are 30 days or more overdue (except charges disputed reasonably and in good faith), Licensor reserves the right to suspend the Hosting Service and License until such amounts are paid in full. Licensor will inform Licensee in writing if the Hosting Service and License is being suspended. Once Licensor sends out notice that Hosting Service and License is being suspended, Licensee has 5 business days from receipt of the notice to inform Licensor if there is a reasonable dispute between Licensee and the Reseller regarding past due charges.

14.3 Contact Information. Licensee shall provide Licensor with complete and accurate contact information, including your legal company name, street address, e-mail address, and name and telephone number of an authorized contact and System Administrator. Licensee shall update this information within 30 days of any change. Licensee agrees that notice via e-mail is sufficient notice. If Licensee provides false or fraudulent information, Licensor may terminate Licensee s access to the Service.

14.4 Reconnection Fee. Licensor reserves the right to impose a reconnection fee of $500 if Licensee s access to the Service is suspended and Licensee thereafter requests access to the Hosting Service. Licensor will invoice Reseller for the $500 reconnection fee. It is then up to Reseller on whether Reseller invoices Licensee for the reconnection fee.

15. Additional Confidentiality. A receiving party agrees: (a) to hold the disclosing party s Confidential Information in confidence, and to protect the disclosing party s Confidential Information in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own similar confidential information (but in no event using less than reasonable care); and (b) except as expressly authorized by this Agreement, not to, directly or indirectly, use, disclose, copy, transfer or allow access to the disclosing party s Confidential Information. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee shall disclose and allow access to the Hosting Service only for the purpose of supporting and augmenting your use of the Hosting Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a receiving party may disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party as required by law, applicable regulatory authorities, or court order; in such event, such party shall use its best efforts to inform the other party prior to any such required disclosure. Further, if disclosure is necessary, such disclosure shall be made pursuant to a protective order, and such party shall use its best efforts to secure the protective order prior to any such required disclosure.

Licensor shall not provide any Confidential Information, Customer Data and Client Documents to any third party unless there is a court order. Absent a court order, Licensee will not release the information to a third party even if the request is made by Licensee for Licensor to release information to a third party.

15.1 Return. If requested, Licensee shall return all of our Confidential Information. This Section 15 shall survive any termination or expiration of our relationship, including Licensee s decision to stop using the Service.

16. Protection of Information.  Licensor will take reasonable security measures designed to protect your Confidential Information, including your Client Documents. These measures will include the use of reasonable physical, administrative, and technical security techniques and systems designed to prevent unauthorized access and disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure appropriate use of your Confidential Information. While Licensor will provide security measures to protect Client Documents and Confidential Information, Licensee does not make any warranties that the Licensed Software or the Hosting Services are PCI compliant.

17.2 Disclosure of PHI. Licensor will use appropriate safeguards to prevent use or disclosure of PHI.

17.3 Licensor will only disclose or provide PHI to Licensee who provided or created the PHI or as provided by a court order.

If Licensee requests Licensor to disclose PHI to a third party, Licensor will not comply with such a request.

17.4 Mitigation. Licensor will mitigate, to the extent commercially practicable, the harmful effect of any unauthorized use or disclosure of PHI. Licensor will comply with the standards set forth under the Privacy Standard of HIPAA if there is unauthorized use or disclosure of PHI.

17.5 Termination of Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, Licensor will destroy all PHI received, provided or created by the Licensee. If destruction of PHI is not possible, Licensor will inform Licensee in writing and extend the protections of this Section to the PHI even after termination of the Agreement.

17.5.1 Licensor agrees that its obligations may change from time to time if necessary to comply with HIPAA. The requirements of this Section will survive this Agreement.

18. Return of Customer Data upon termination of Hosting Services.  Upon termination of the Hosting Services Licensee may request in writing that Licensor provide Licensee with access to a copy of all Client Documents and Client Data, Licensor will provide such information to Licensee so long as Licensee pays the then-current fee for such service to the Reseller and all outstanding fees to the Reseller have been paid. Licensor shall have no obligation to maintain or provide any Customer Data more than thirty (30) days after termination of the Hosting Services or expiration of this Agreement for any reason. Thereafter, unless legally prohibited, Licensor shall delete all Customer Data in our possession or under our control. 

19. Publicity.  Licensee agrees that Licensor may include Licensee as a customer in promotional material for the Licensed Software, the Service and/or for Licensor including use of Licensee s logos, trademarks, trade names and similar identifying material. Licensee can revoke this right by submitting a request via e-mail to Licensor at sales@docmgt.com. Confirmation of such request (via reply e-mail) must be received for this to be effective. Upon receipt of such request, Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove any reference to Licensee from such promotional material within thirty (30) days and make no further reference to Licensee. Upon Licensor request, Licensee agrees to participate in a mutually agreed press release regarding the relationship established by this Agreement. In addition, Licensee agrees from time to time, as reasonably requested by Licensor and subject to Licensee s approval, to participate in Licensor s promotional activities, such as preparation of case studies; participation in media interviews; and preparation of quotes and other marketing materials for Licensor. Approvals under this Section shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Licensee.
