4.1. Client Obligations. Client will have the sole responsibility for acquiring, installing, and maintaining its own technology environment and equipment necessary to properly access, operate, and utilize the Service, including, without limitation: Internet access, LANs and WANs; for any communications or other costs incurred in operating, accessing and using the Service; and for any other expenses relating to the foregoing. Except as set forth in any applicable Order Form, Client will be responsible for selecting and training adequate personnel with the requisite experience necessary to use the Service. Client will be solely responsible for the security and confidentiality of any usernames or passwords granted to Client or its Authorized Users to access the Service, and will limit disclosure of such usernames and passwords to its Authorized Users. Client will be solely responsible for any authorized or unauthorized access to the Service using such usernames and passwords, and any actions taken thereunder. Client will limit use of access to the Service solely to those of its Authorized Users whose duties require such use and access. Client will undertake best efforts to ensure that MindVue’s Confidential Information and the MindVue Intellectual Property are kept secure. Client will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all Authorized Users afforded access to the Service and any other information and materials produced or disclosed in connection therewith protect the same against unauthorized use, dissemination, or disclosure. Client will have the sole responsibility for maintaining the privacy and security of all Client Data. Client agrees that it is fully liable for the acts and omissions of all Authorized Users that use and access the Service. Client will cooperate with MindVue in all matters relating to the Service and appoint a Client employee to serve as the primary contact with respect to this Agreement and who will have the authority to act on behalf of Client with respect to matters pertaining to this Agreement (the “Client Contact Manager”).  Client will provide access to Client’s premises, and such office accommodation and other facilities as may reasonably be requested by MindVue, for the purposes of performing any Professional Services as ordered by the Client pursuant to an Order Form and Addendum A to this Agreement, if applicable. Client will respond promptly to any request from MindVue to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations or decisions that are reasonably necessary for MindVue to provide any such Professional Services, if applicable.

4.2. Regulatory Compliance. Client assumes sole and complete responsibility for ensuring that its Authorized Users’ use of the Service and all related Client policies and procedures are in compliance with the Terms of Service and all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, including, without limitation, any federal, state or local privacy or information security laws or regulations.

4.3. Access, Availability, and Changes to the Service. Client acknowledges that MindVue has the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the method, details, and means of providing the Service hereunder, and to change or discontinue the content or technical specifications of any aspect of the Service at any time, including the third party Platform provider designed for the Service. MindVue does not warrant or provide any guarantee regarding the availability of the Service via the Platform. Client further accepts that the Platform may be periodically unavailable for system maintenance, upgrades, or other reasons, on terms completely outside MindVue’s control.

4.4. MindVue Support and Maintenance Limitations. During the Term and provided Client has paid all applicable Fees in accordance with the applicable Order Form (including the Monthly License Fees), MindVue will use reasonable efforts to correct verifiable and reproducible errors in the Service reported to MindVue by Client. As used in this Agreement, an “error” is any programming error or malfunction that materially interferes with or prevents Client’s ability to use and access the Service. Errors do not include Platform-controlled technical issues, including but not limited to downtime and maintenance periods as described herein. MindVue may correct errors by making revisions to programming (which may take the form of a patch or upgrade) or by providing reasonable “work-around” solutions. MindVue reserves the right to modify any Documentation if such Documentation, in MindVue’s sole determination, incorrectly describes the Service functions, and MindVue may do so in order to resolve an error. During the Term and provided Client has paid all applicable Fees in accordance with the applicable Order Form (including the Monthly License Fees), MindVue agrees to provide Client with all releases and enhancements to the Service that MindVue generally releases to MindVue’s customers that operate in the same software environment as Client. Otherwise, MindVue retains sole discretion to determine whether and when to make new releases or enhancements to the Service available, and the terms on which they will be made available to Client. Standard support services provided under this Agreement do not include on-site consultation, systems administration, facilities management, or customized programming support to resolve problems resulting from Client equipment used to access the Service, resulting from modifications to the Service not made or authorized by MindVue, or resulting from the combination or interfacing of the Service with other programming or equipment if the combination or interface has not been made by or approved in writing by MindVue. In addition, support is not provided under this Agreement for third party software, hardware, or networks. Any time spent by MindVue attempting to provide such additional support services will be charged to Client at MindVue’s then-standard hourly rates, in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the applicable Order Form. To ensure appropriate performance and security of the Service, MindVue will routinely perform maintenance on a regularly scheduled basis. This may require the Service, or a portion thereof, to be suspended during the maintenance period. MindVue will use reasonable efforts to notify Client in advance of any scheduled maintenance that may adversely affect Client’s access to the Service. Under certain circumstances, MindVue may need to perform emergency maintenance, including, without limitation, a security patch installation or hardware replacement. MindVue will not be able to provide Client with advance notice in case of emergency maintenance.

4.5. Support Hours. MindVue will provide general technical support to Client for the Service through its “Support Hotline,” available via email at support@mindvue.com or via phone at 561-350-5106, from 8:30a.m. to 5:00p.m. Central Time (CT), Monday through Friday excluding all federal holidays. The Support Hotline may be contacted by Client at any time, but MindVue does not guarantee a response until the next business day.

Each of Client and MindVue agrees to use its reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized persons from having access to the Service or any equipment providing the Service. Each Party agrees to notify the other Party promptly upon becoming aware of any unauthorized access or use of the Service or Client Data by any third party. CLIENT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE SERVICE AND PLATFORM ARE HOSTED BY AND PROVIDED THROUGH THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS AND THAT MINDVUE WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO CLIENT OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ITS THIRD PARTY VENDORS.

5. CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR USE

Unauthorized use includes, without limitation: (a) use of the Service to access websites other than the Platform; (b) attempts to gain access to data about individuals other than for legitimate business purposes; (c) alteration or modification of individual data or of any Service configuration values from the originally delivered values; (d) accessing the Service through any technology or means other than through the user account information provided to Client by MindVue; and (e) any use of the Service or the information contained therein in violation of any applicable law or regulation. Additionally, Client will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Authorized Users comply with the following requirements, and will be responsible for any noncompliance by Authorized Users: (i) Authorized Users must not enter or transmit any information using the Service that is unlawful, false, offensive, defamatory, or infringes the rights of any person; (ii) Authorized Users must not use or access (or otherwise attempt to use or access) all or any portion of the Service in a way that disrupts the access to or use of the Service by others, including conducting or otherwise participating in any distributed denial-of-service (“DDoS”) attack or similar malicious attack intended or designed to artificially delay, disrupt or otherwise adversely affect the Service or any other user’s access to or use of the Service; and (iii) Authorized Users must not use any Client Data or other information obtained through the Service except for the purpose for which the information was provided, and must not attempt to use the Service to gain unauthorized access to information.

5.2. Suitability. Client will be responsible for determining the suitability of the Service for its business operations and whether the Service will achieve the results Client desires. The Service is provided as a tool for Client to use as Client sees fit for its employees, students, soldiers, customers, and overall business operations. As with manually-kept records, records kept using the Service may contain errors, whether resulting from incorrect input or recording of information, Service errors, or other causes. Client is solely responsible for understanding the limitations of the Service. Client will be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of any data input into the Service (including Client Data), ensuring and confirming the accuracy of any output and results created by the Service prior to use or dissemination, and undertaking procedures to test, identify and correct any errors or omissions relating to the foregoing.

MindVue will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Client and its officers, managers, directors, agents and employees (collectively, “Client Parties”) from and against any and all claims (including any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising therefrom) (“Claims”) to the extent arising out of any action or proceeding brought by a third party against any one or more of the Client Parties (i) alleging that the Service infringes a United States copyright or patent, or misappropriates a trade secret of a third party, in the venue in which the Service is provided; or (ii) related to any act or omission by MindVue which is a material breach by MindVue of any of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that MindVue will have no liability to the Client Parties with respect to any Claim that is based upon, arises out of, or would not have occurred but for (A) Client’s unauthorized operation, combination or use of the Service with any software, hardware, product, or apparatus installed in Client’s application or operating system environment following implementation of the Service; (B) Client’s use of any third party software or service, including but not limited to the Platform, other than in accordance with the license agreement for such third party software or service; or (C) any act or omission by Client which is a breach by Client of any of its obligations under this Agreement. If MindVue reasonably believes that the Service infringes a copyright or patent, or misappropriates a trade secret of a third party, then MindVue, at MindVue’s sole choice, may (i) acquire the right for Client to continue to use the affected portion of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (ii) replace or modify the affected portion of the Service so that they become non-infringing; or (iii) terminate this Agreement and refund to Client an equitable portion of the Fees already paid to MindVue for the Service.

This Section 8 sets forth Client’s exclusive remedy with respect to any Claim for MindVue’s alleged violation of the intellectual property or other rights of third parties with respect to the Service. MindVue will have no liability to indemnify Client under this Section 8 if Client is in breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

9. CONFIDENTIALITY

9.1. Confidentiality and Non-Use. The receiving Party will use reasonable efforts to avoid unauthorized disclosure of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. The receiving Party will protect the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized disclosure by taking at least those steps that the receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than reasonable efforts. The receiving Party will not use the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information except for purposes of fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement. The receiving Party may disclose the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to its employees, agents, service providers, and other persons who have a need to know such Confidential Information in connection with this Agreement.

The obligation to protect Confidential Information will continue as long as the receiving Party possesses the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.   

9.2. Permitted Disclosure. The receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information as required by law or in compliance with any court or administrative order; provided that the receiving Party gives the disclosing Party reasonable written notice as permitted by law that such Confidential Information is being sought by a third party in order to afford the disclosing Party the opportunity to limit, protect or prevent such disclosure.

10. CLIENT DATA

10.1. Client Data. Use of the Service may involve the receipt, processing, and storage of data input by Client and its Authorized Users (the “Client Data”). Because Client Data is provided by Client and its Authorized Users, MindVue does not control such Client Data. In connection with Client Data, Client affirms, represents, and warrants that Client owns or has the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize MindVue to use all Client Data in the manner contemplated hereunder and to transfer to and process such Client Data within the United States as may be required by applicable law. Client will provide MindVue with copies of any consents or other materials as may be requested by MindVue and will use any consent forms that may be required by MindVue. Client represents and warrants that Client has all the rights necessary for Client to grant the rights in this Section 10 and the use of Client Data does not violate any law. By providing Client Data, Client hereby grants MindVue a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, modify, edit, adapt, publish, translate, incorporate, prepare derivative and collective works utilizing the Client Data for purposes of providing the Service to Client under this Agreement. Additionally, Client grants to MindVue a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicenseable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, adapt, perform, compile, display, incorporate, modify, and create derivative and collective works utilizing Client Data in a de-identified format for the improvement of the Service and MindVue’s other products and services (as may exist now or in the future) and for such other lawful purposes as MindVue sees fit.  

10.2. Inaccurate Client Data. All Client Data originates from Client and its Authorized Users, and as such, is beyond the control of MindVue. Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Agreement, MindVue will have no responsibility or liability related to the accuracy, content, currency, completeness, or delivery of the Client Data provided by Client or its Authorized Users.  MindVue is not responsible for the accuracy, content, currency, completeness, and delivery of the Client Data uploaded and/or input by its Authorized Users.

11. NON-SOLICITATION; NON-EXCLUSIVITY

11.1. Non-Solicitation.  During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, Client shall not, directly or indirectly, in any manner solicit or induce for employment any person who performed any work under this Agreement on behalf of MindVue who is then in the employment of MindVue. A general advertisement or notice of a job listing or opening or other similar general publication of a job search or availability to fill employment positions, including on the internet, shall not be construed as a solicitation or inducement for the purposes of this Section 11.1, and the hiring by Client of any such employee who freely responds thereto shall not be a breach of this Section 11.1. If Client breaches Section 11.1, Client shall, on demand from MindVue, pay to MindVue a sum equal to one (1) year’s base salary or the annual fee that was payable by MindVue to that employee plus the recruitment costs incurred by MindVue in replacing such person.

11.2. Non-Exclusivity of Services. MindVue retains the right to provide the Service to third parties during the Term of this Agreement and into the future. Nothing contained herein shall prevent MindVue from providing the same or similar services as the Service and any Professional Services provided hereunder, for other third parties.

12. GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1. Relationship of the Parties. The relationship of MindVue and Client established by this Agreement will be solely that of independent contractors, and nothing herein will create or imply any other relationship. MindVue does not grant Client or any of Client’s representatives the power or authority to make or give any agreement, statement, representation, warranty or other commitment on behalf of MindVue, or to enter into any contract or otherwise incur any liability or obligation, express or implied, on behalf of MindVue, or to transfer, release or waive any right, title or interest of MindVue. MindVue will have the right to determine the method, details, and means of performing any services pursuant to this Agreement.

12.2. Assignment. Client may not assign, transfer, or sell (voluntarily or by operation of law) its rights or obligations under this Agreement, nor delegate its duties hereunder to any other person, without MindVue’ prior written consent. A transfer of a controlling interest or other change in control in Client will constitute an assignment. Any purported assignment without MindVue’s consent will be void and will constitute a breach of this Agreement. MindVue may assign this Agreement or delegate or subcontract its obligations under this Agreement at any time.  

12.3. Entire Agreement; Conflicts; Modification. This Agreement, including all Addendums and any other exhibits and schedules hereto, and any separate support and maintenance agreement between the Parties constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, both oral and written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. We may revise and update this Agreement from time to time, and will post the updated Agreement to the Service. UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN THE AMENDED VERSION OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL APPLY IMMEDIATELY UPON POSTING. We will endeavor to provide you with notice of any changes, and any changes to this Agreement will not apply retroactively to events that occurred prior to such changes. In the event any provisions contained in a separate Order Form, support and maintenance agreement (including but not limited to the Maintenance Agreement), or Addendum hereto expressly conflict with any terms, conditions or clauses contained in this Agreement, the provisions of such separate Order Form, agreement, or Addendum will govern to the extent such provisions expressly conflict. No use of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing between the Parties will be used to modify, interpret, supplement or alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement.

12.4. Notices. Any notices must be given in writing directed to the address of each Party set forth on the cover page of this Agreement, or to such other address as either Party may substitute by written notice to the other. Notices will be deemed given (a) when personally delivered; (b) if sent by recognized overnight national courier service, on the second business day after deposit with the courier, properly addressed and fee prepaid or billed to sender; or (c) when sent by fax or e-mail, upon receipt of proper confirmation of sending, provided a copy of the notice is concurrently sent by mail.

12.5. Remedies. Client agrees that a breach of Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 5.2, 6.3, 9, and 11.1 will cause MindVue irreparable injury and damage. Notwithstanding Section 12.6 below, the Parties expressly agree that MindVue will be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent such a breach, in addition to any other remedy to which MindVue might be entitled. The Parties waive the posting of any bond or surety prior to the issuance of an injunction hereunder. In the event a court refuses to honor the waiver of bond hereunder, the Parties expressly agree to a bond in the amount of $100.00. All remedies for such a breach will be cumulative and the pursuit of one remedy will not be deemed to exclude any other remedy with respect to the subject matter hereof.

12.6. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement will be governed by and construed, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas, without reference to its conflicts or choice of law principles. Subject to MindVue’s rights under Section 12.5, the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement through negotiations and/or mediation (if mutually agreed) between representatives of each of the Parties who has all necessary authority to settle the relevant dispute, claim, or controversy (such as each Party’s CEO). If the dispute, claim, or controversy cannot be settled amicably within thirty (30) days from the date on which either Party has served written notice on the other of such dispute, claim, or controversy, then either Party may seek to enforce its rights under this Agreement by filing suit in the federal or state courts sitting in or exercising jurisdiction over Johnson County or Wyandotte County, Kansas.  Such courts shall have the sole and exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement and the parties hereby irrevocable submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

12.7. Consent to Do Business Electronically. We use and rely upon electronic records and electronic signatures for the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other agreements, undertakings, notices, disclosures or other documents, communications or information of any type sent or received in accordance with this Agreement and in performing our obligations and exercising our rights under this Agreement. Neither you nor MindVue will prevent or inhibit in any way the other party from printing, saving, or otherwise storing electronic records sent or otherwise made available to the other party. You agree not to contest the authorization for, or validity or enforceability of, electronic records and electronic signatures, or the admissibility of copies thereof, under any applicable law relating to whether certain agreements, files, or electronic records are to be in writing or signed by you to be bound thereby. You will bear your own costs and expenses in conducting business electronically, and will undertake all steps necessary, including software, hardware, and other equipment upgrades and purchases, in order to be able to conduct business electronically. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. A fax or electronic transmission of a signed original (including via DocuSign or similar digital signature service) will have the same effect as delivery of the signed original.

12.8. Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable for any delay in performing its obligations (other than payment of money) if the delay is caused by any event beyond the reasonable control of the Party, including, without limitation, acts of nature, war or insurrection, civil commotion, destruction of production facilities or materials by earthquake, fire, storm or flood, material or products shortages, labor disturbances, epidemic, disruption or slow speed of the Internet, break-downs of security or introduction of computer viruses (and the like) by third parties, any governmental action, terrorist attack or other similar event.  

12.9. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement will be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, and such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision will be deemed not to be part of this Agreement.

12.10. Third Parties; Waiver. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, will create or confer upon any person or entity not a named party to this Agreement any legal or equitable rights, remedies, liabilities or claims, except as expressly provided herein. The failure of either Party to enforce the provisions of this Agreement will not be deemed to be a waiver of their right to enforce them.

12.11. Publicity. Client shall not communicate with representatives of the general public, general press, technical press, radio, television or other communications media regarding this Agreement without the prior written consent of MindVue, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

12.12. Export Restrictions. Client and its Authorized Users will comply with the export laws and regulations of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions in using the Service. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Client represents that (a) Client and, to its knowledge, its Authorized Users are not named on any U.S. or other applicable government list of persons or entities prohibited from receiving exports; and (b) Client will not permit its Authorized Users to access or use the Service in violation of any U.S. or other applicable countries’ export embargo, prohibition or restriction.  

12.13. Survival. The terms and provisions of Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 4.1, 4.2, 6.3, and 7 through 12 inclusive will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
