<li>3. <strong>ORDERS; PAYMENT; DISPUTES; TAXES.</strong></li>
<ul class="level-2">
<li>3.1. <strong>Orders.</strong> Each Order shall: (i) be treated as a separate and independent order; and (ii) become effective on the date we receive payment from you of the applicable Fees as stated in each applicable Order (the <strong>“Effective Date”</strong>).</li>
<li>3.2. <strong>Payment.</strong> You will pay all applicable, undisputed Fees within the period provided in an applicable Order, and if no period is provided, then no later than thirty (30) days from the invoice date, in the amount set forth in the applicable Order or SOW in the currency reflected in each Order or SOW, and if no currency is reflected, in United States currency. We may charge you interest on any undisputed, overdue amounts at the lower of (i) the highest permissible rate; or (ii) 18% per annum, charged at 1.5% per month from thirty (30) days past the due date until the date of payment. You acknowledge that any delay in payment may result in termination or interruption of our provision of the SMA Offerings.</li>
<li>3.3. <strong>Payment Disputes.</strong> You may withhold from payment any Fees disputed by you in good faith solely if you: (i) timely pay all Fees not subject to dispute; (ii) notify us in writing of the dispute prior to the due date, specifying in such notice (1) the amount in dispute, and (2) the reason for the dispute; (iii) work with us in good faith to resolve the dispute promptly; and (iv) promptly pays any amount determined to be due by resolution of the dispute; <em>provided, however,</em> if any dispute lasts longer than thirty (30) days, we may terminate our provision of the SMA Offerings.

<li>3.4. <strong>Taxes.</strong> Payment of all sales tax, use tax, VAT, foreign, state, or federal taxes, and any other taxes in any form, offsets, withholding or currency control associated with an Order or SOW will reside solely with, and be the financial responsibility of, you, excluding taxes based on our income which will be paid by us. Domestic sales and use taxes will be included on invoices where applicable unless you provide us with reasonable evidence of your exemption from such taxes.</li>
<li>3.5. <strong>Measurement of Usage Fees.</strong></li>
<ul class="level-3">
<li>3.5.1. <strong>Tasks.</strong> Your Users may request that the Subscription Service and Legacy Software perform certain tasks, which are comprised of a unique set of instructions executed by the Subscription Service and Legacy Software (each a “Task”). For clarification purposes, a Task that runs (i) one time on one machine or (ii) multiple times on the same machine using the same parameters, counts as a single Task; however, (iii) a Task that runs on multiple machines or using multiple parameters counts as multiple Tasks.</li>
<li>3.5.2. <strong>Task Billing.</strong> You will be billed for each Task (whether successful or not) initiated by your Users; however, you have the option to be prebilled for a set number of Tasks for use over a rolling twelve-month period during the Term. If you exceed or based on your usage it appears that you will exceed the number of daily Tasks purchased in an Order, then you may purchase additional Tasks for the remainder of the then-current Term at the effective rate per Task specified an applicable Order by signing a new Order Form for the additional Tasks. </li>
<li>3.5.3. <strong>Task Measurement.</strong> You will enable certain functionality that tracks and accounts for the number of Tasks performed using the Subscription Service or Legacy Software for the purpose of accurately calculating any Task-based Fees. If you are unable to enable the use of this functionality, you will be required to provide any reports and queries requested by us for this purpose. We may also conduct periodic audits of your Task usage during the Term.</li>
</ul>
<li>3.6. <strong>Fee Changes.</strong> We may increase Fees no more than once annually for any contract year after the first contract year of the Term, including any contract year of any renewal term, by providing you with written notice within the period provided in an applicable Order, and if no period is provided, then at least 60 calendar days prior to the commencement of that contract year, and any affected Order will be deemed amended accordingly. Fees for new or additional SMA Offerings beyond a current Order will be billed at our then-current Fees for such SMA Offerings and increased in accordance with Section 3.6. </li>

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Receiving Party's obligations under this Section 5 with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret under any applicable law will continue until such time, if ever, as such Confidential Information ceases to qualify for trade secret protection under one or more such applicable Laws other than as a result of any act or omission of the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives.</li>
<li>5.2.2. <strong>Compelled Disclosures.</strong> If the Receiving Party or any of its representatives is compelled by applicable law to disclose any Confidential Information then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Receiving Party will: (a) promptly, and prior to such disclosure, notify the Disclosing Party in writing of such requirement so that the Disclosing Party can seek a protective order or other remedy or waive its rights under this Section; and (b) provide reasonable assistance to the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party's cost and expense, in opposing such disclosure or seeking a protective order or other limitations on disclosure. If the Disclosing Party waives compliance or, after providing the notice and assistance required under this Section, the Receiving Party remains required by law to disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that, on the advice of the Receiving Party's outside legal counsel, the Receiving Party is legally required to disclose.</li>

<li>7. <strong>INDEMNIFICATION.</strong></li>
<ul class="level-2">
<li>7.1. <strong>Procedure.</strong> The party seeking indemnification hereunder (as the <strong>“Indemnified Party”</strong>): (a) will promptly provide written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (as the <strong>“Indemnifying Party”</strong>) of any third-party claim, demand, lawsuit, notice of violation, or proceeding (collectively, <strong>“Claim(s)”</strong>); <em>provided, however,</em> that the failure to give prompt written notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party was actually and materially prejudiced by such failure; (b) will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of a Claim, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, and (c) may, at its own expense, participate in the defense of a Claim. An Indemnifying Party will have the sole and exclusive authority to defend or settle any such Claim; <em>provided, however,</em> neither the Indemnifying Party nor an Indemnified Party may settle any Claim under this Agreement where such settlement includes: (x) an admission of liability or fault on behalf of the other party or (y) the creation of an obligation or imposition or forbearance of an act (including injunctive or other equitable relief) on the other party, without the other party’s prior written consent.</li>
<li>7.2. <strong>SMA Indemnification.</strong> We will defend you and your officers, directors, employees, successors, and permitted assigns (each, a <strong>“Customer Indemnitee”</strong>) against a Claim (other than a Claim brought by an Affiliate of a Customer Indemnitee) (a <strong>“Customer Indemnity Claim”</strong>) arising out of or relating to an allegation that your or their use of a SMA Offering in accordance with this Agreement infringes or misappropriates a third-party's United States IP Right and we will indemnify you from and against any liability, damages, judgments, settlements, interest, fines, penalties, fines, or awards (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, <strong>“Losses”</strong>) resulting from such Claim. If the SMA Offering is enjoined in any manner due to such infringement or if we believe an injunction materially affecting your use of the SMA Offering is likely, we may in our discretion and at no cost to you: (a) procure for you the right to continue to use the SMA Offering as contemplated under this Agreement, (b) modify or replace the allegedly infringing features or components to the SMA Offering with a non-infringing equivalent, or (c) if we determine that neither (a) nor (b) are practicable, we may terminate this Agreement or the Order pertaining to allegedly infringing SMA Offering and refund any Fees paid in respect of such terminated SMA Offering for the remainder of the relevant Term starting with the termination date designated by us. The above indemnification obligation does not apply if you: (x) use the SMA Offering in combination with data, software, applications, hardware, equipment, products, services, or other technology where the SMA Offering would not by itself, and without modification, be infringing; (y) fail to use the SMA Offering in accordance with the then-applicable Documentation; (z) continue the allegedly infringing activity after being notified or informed of modification that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (aa) use the SMA Offering in a manner not strictly in accordance with this Agreement.</li>
<li>7.3. <strong>Customer Indemnification.</strong> You will defend SMA and our officers, directors, employees, successors, and permitted assigns (each, a <strong>“SMA Indemnitee”</strong>) against a Claim (other than a Claim brought by an Affiliate of SMA) (a <strong>“SMA Indemnification Claim”</strong>) and you will indemnify such SMA Indemnitee from and against any Losses arising out of or relating to: (a) violations of your or your Users’ obligations under Section 2; and (b) allegations that the Customer Content (i) infringes a third-party’s IP Right or (ii) when used with the SMA Offerings or as contemplated under this Agreement violates applicable law.</li>
<li>7.4. SECTION 7 SETS FORTH THE ENTIRE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION OF THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY AND THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR ANY LOSSES COVERED UNDER SECTION 7.</li>

<ul class="level-1">
<li>8. <strong>GENERAL.</strong></li>
<ul class="level-2">
<li>8.1. <strong>Governing Law and Forum.</strong> This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas (without regard to conflicts of law principles) for any dispute between the parties or relating in any way to the subject matter of these Terms. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Any suit or legal proceeding must be exclusively brought in the federal or state courts for the jurisdiction of the main address of the defendant in such proceedings, and each party submits to this personal jurisdiction and venue.</li>
<li>8.2. <strong>Relationship of the Parties.</strong> The relationship between the parties is that of independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture, or other form of joint enterprise, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the parties, and neither party shall have authority to contract for or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever.</li>
<li>8.3. <strong>Interpretation.</strong> The parties intend this Agreement to be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The exhibits, schedules, attachments, and appendices referred to herein are an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein.</li>
<li>8.4. <strong>Headings.</strong> The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.</li>
<li>8.5. <strong>Entire Agreement.</strong> This Terms and associated Order(s) constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede any prior or contemporaneous negotiations or agreements, whether oral or written, related to this subject matter. The provisions of this Agreement will control over any conflicting provisions in an Order, unless the Order indicates the clear intent of the parties that such conflicting provision prevail over a term or condition of this Agreement for that particular Order. Further, any purchase order, work order, or similar document provided by or on your behalf is expressly rejected by us and any terms and conditions included therein are not part of this Agreement.</li>
<li>8.6. <strong>Assignment.</strong> Neither party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer any of its obligations or performance under this Agreement, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided, that, a party, with Notice to the other party, may assign their rights or delegate their obligations to any successor of such party. For purposes of this Section, “successor” means any person, firm, or corporation or other legal or business entity which, at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all, or substantially all, of the assets or business of the assigning or delegating party. No assignment, delegation, or transfer will relieve a party of any of its obligations or performance under this Agreement. Any assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of Section 8.6 is void. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.</li>
<li>8.7. <strong>Amendment.</strong> Unless you have a separately negotiated and signed agreement stating otherwise, we may modify this Agreement by posting a revised version at <a href="https://smatechnologies.com/terms-conditions">https://smatechnologies.com/terms-conditions</a> and such revised version will become effective as to your use of the SMA Offerings as of the next business day following its posting. Prior to such posting, we will provide you with notice of any material revision by contacting your designated administrator(s) at the contact information provided in the SMA Offerings. If you do not agree with a material modification to this Agreement, you must notify us in writing within thirty (30) days after we send notice of the revision. If you give us this notice, then your subscription will continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of the Agreement prior to modification until your next renewal date, after which the current terms posted at the above webpage will apply. However, if we can no longer reasonably provide the SMA Offerings to you under the terms prior to modification (for example, if the modifications are required by law or result from general product changes), then the Agreement and/or affected SMA Offerings will terminate upon our notice to you and we will promptly refund any prepaid but unused fees covering use of the SMA Offerings after termination.</li>
<li>8.8. <strong>Waiver.</strong> No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.</li>
<li>8.9. <strong>Severability.</strong> If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect or invalidate any other term or provision of this Agreement or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to affect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.</li>
<li>8.10. <strong>Export Control Laws.</strong> Customer will not import, export, re-export, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any part of the Subscription Service or Legacy Software or any underlying information or technology, except in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.</li>
<li>8.11. <strong>Notices.</strong> Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, all notices required under this Agreement (except those relating to SMA Offerings pricing, changes and upgrades) will be deemed effective when received and made in writing by either (i) registered mail, (ii) certified mail, return receipt requested, (iii) overnight mail, addressed and sent to the address in the Order, or (iv) electronic mail to the contact listed in the Order.</li>
<li>8.12. <strong>Public Announcements.</strong> Neither party shall issue or release any announcement, statement, press release, or other publicity or marketing materials relating to this Agreement or, unless expressly permitted under this Agreement, otherwise use the other party's trademarks, Service marks, trade names, logos, domain names, or other indicia of source, association, or sponsorship, in each case, without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided; however, we may include your name and logo in our promotional and marketing materials where we list our current or former customers.</li>
<li>8.13. <strong>Force Majeure.</strong> In no event will either party be liable to the other, or be deemed to have breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under this Agreement, if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any of the following events (each a <strong>“Force Majeure Event”</strong>): flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, pandemic, war, terrorism, cyber terrorism or other comparable criminal or willful acts (including third-party hackers or other third-party malicious acts), invasion, riot or other civil unrest, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns, our suppliers failure to supply necessary goods or services to us, passage of applicable law, any action taken by a government authority or other public authority (such as imposing an embargo), or international, national, or regional shortage of adequate power, telecommunications capacity, or transportation. In allocating the risk of delay or failure of performance of a party’s respective obligations under this Agreement, the parties have not considered the possible occurrence of any of the events listed herein or any similar or dissimilar events beyond their control, irrespective of whether such listed, similar, or dissimilar events were foreseeable as of the date of this Agreement.</li>
<li>8.14. <strong>Actions Permitted.</strong> Except for actions for nonpayment of Fees or breach of a party’s proprietary rights, no action, regardless of form, arising directly or indirectly out of this Agreement may be brought by either party more than one (1) year after the cause of action accrued.</li>
<li>8.15. <strong>Counterparts.</strong> This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of which together are deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email, or other means of electronic transmission is deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.</li>
