NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises set forth herein, the issuance of certain membership interests in HH2 to the members of Licensee, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Services. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, HH2 will (a) permit Licensee, and its employees and agents who register under Licensee’s Account (“Users”), to use the Software; and (b) provide Licensee support as set forth in Section 7 below (collectively, “Services”).
2. Licensee’s and User’s Accounts. Upon receipt of (a) current and complete information about Licensee, and (b) Licensee’s execution of this Agreement by an Authorized User, and (c) payment in full of any Service Fees by the Licensee, or the ISV on the Licensee’s behalf, which are due and payable as a condition of account registration or set-up, HH2 shall issue an account identifier and access password to Licensee (“Licensee’s Account”). Following issuance of Licensee’s Account and an Authorized User indicates their agreement with this End User License Agreement (“EULA”) on behalf of the Licensee, User accounts (“User Accounts”) may be set up on demand. Each and every User that uses the Software hereby agrees to all terms and conditions of the EULA. Each User Account shall be dependent upon the continuing validity of Licensee’s Account and shall terminate or expire automatically upon any termination or expiration of Licensee’s Account. If Licensee or any User does not accept all of the terms and conditions, Licensee or User, as the case may be, must immediately cease and desist from any further access or use of the Website or Services provided by HH2. Neither Licensee nor any User shall market, distribute, sell, or otherwise transfer to any third party all or any part of the Services or any access to the Software or Licensee’s or User’s Account.
3. License. Upon activation of a Licensee Account or a User Account (as the case may be), HH2 hereby grants to Licensee and its registered Users only the nonexclusive, revocable, nontransferable license to access and use the Software, in object code format only, solely for Licensee’s internal business purposes (“Permitted Uses”). Except for the foregoing, all rights in the Software are reserved to HH2. The HH2 Products will at all times remain the exclusive, sole, and absolute property of HH2 or the third parties from whom HH2 has obtained the right to use the HH2 Software. Except for the license granted to Licensee in this Agreement, neither Licensee nor any User will have interest in the HH2 Software. All rights, title, and interest in or to any copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret, and other proprietary right relating to the HH2 Software and the related logos, product names, etc. are reserved and all rights not expressly granted are reserved by HH2 and such third parties. Licensee may not obscure, alter or remove any copyright, trademark, service mark or proprietary rights notices on any HH2 Software. Neither Licensee nor any of its Users shall: (i) copy, install, download or read the Software into memory on any computer, file server or other storage device; (ii) modify, enhance, alter or otherwise create derivative works based upon or derived from the Software; (iii) sell, transfer, assign, lease, loan, rent, sublicense, reproduce, duplicate, or distribute the Software or any rights therein to any third party; (iv) provide items or services for third parties using the Software or Services in any manner; or (v) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Software.
4. Fees, Taxes and Payment Terms.
4.1. Fees for Services. In exchange for the Services provided by HH2, Licensee shall pay to HH2 the service fees set forth in the product fee schedule found on hh2.com or attached hereto as Schedule A (“Fee Schedule”) or ISV shall pay to HH2 the service fees on their behalf per written agreement with the ISV (collectively “Service Fees”). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, HH2 reserves the right to adjust its prices or otherwise modify the Fee Schedule by providing thirty (30) days written notice to Licensee or ISV on behalf of the Licensee, after which the fees payable by Licensee to HH2, or ISV to HH2 on Licensee’s behalf, shall automatically adjust to the then-current Fee Schedule at the end of the 30-day period. Unless otherwise provided in Schedule A or by written agreement of ISV on Licensee’s behalf, Service Fees shall be calculated by HH2 pursuant to the product fee schedule on hh2.com based upon usage data in HH2’s possession (such as number of employees, number of Users, data storage requirements, usage levels, etc., in each case by reference to the maximum usage levels) during the preceding calendar month. Unless otherwise provided in the Fee Schedule, (i) any up-front Service Fees shall be due and payable as a condition precedent to activation of Licensee’s Account; and (ii) all other amounts shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after the date of HH2’s invoice therefor.
4.2. Taxes. Licensee will pay directly, or will pay to HH2 or ISV, an amount equal to all applicable taxes or similar fees levied or based on this Agreement or the Services, exclusive of taxes based on HH2's net income.
4.3. Payment Terms. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, Licensee will pay all invoices to HH2 or to the ISV for use of the Software in full within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. In cases where the Licensee pays HH2 directly, all amounts not paid when due are subject to a late payment charge of the greater of $25 or 1.5% per month (not to exceed the maximum allowed by law) of the past due amount from the due date until the date paid. All fees are shown in U.S. Dollars and all payments will be made in U.S. Dollars.
4.4. Collection Expenses. Licensee will reimburse HH2 for all reasonable expenses HH2 may incur, including reasonable attorney fees, in collecting any amounts past due under this Agreement.
5. Access to Software.
5.1. Communication Lines. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if the Services require the use by Licensee of communication lines to connect to HH2 facilities or to speak with HH2 personnel, Licensee will be responsible for those communication lines. Licensee will pay all installation, use, service, and repair charges for the communication lines. HH2 will not be responsible for the reliability or availability of the communication lines used by Licensee to access the Services.
5.2. Use of Services via the Internet. This provision applies to any Services which are being provided to Licensee via the Internet or which Licensee may access via the Internet. The security of transmissions over the Internet can never be guaranteed. HH2 is not responsible for Licensee’s access to the Internet, for any interception or interruption of any communications through the Internet, or for changes to or losses of data through the Internet. In order to protect Licensee and Licensee’s data, HH2 may suspend Licensee’s use of the Services via the Internet immediately, without notice, pending an investigation, if any breach of security is suspected. Licensee acknowledges that the speed and latency of Licensee’s internet connection will impact the speed and operation of HH2’s Software. If the speed and latency of Licensee’s internet connection is not adequate, HH2’s Software may not function properly.
6. Account Responsibility. As between HH2 and each User, User shall be responsible for all activities occurring under his, her or its Account. As between HH2 and Licensee, Licensee shall be responsible for all activities occurring under his, her or its Account or any of its User’s Accounts.
7. Licensee Support and Training. In cases where support is included in writing, HH2 will provide limited Licensee support, only to authorized representatives of Licensee, for resolution of issues during normal business hours and otherwise in accordance with its normal business practices. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, unless separately purchased and otherwise agreed in Schedule A or a separate written contract between HH2 and Licensee (specifying therein the training and implementation services to be provided and the compensation therefore payable to HH2), HH2 shall have no obligation to provide training, implementation, or similar services to Licensee or its Users. HH2 reserves the right to refer Users to their ISV in cases where the ISV is contractually obligated to provide support.
8. Licensee and User Indemnification Obligations. Licensee and each User shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HH2 and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and attorneys from and against any and all third party claims, demands, causes of action, or liabilities, of any kind or nature, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or related to any acts or omissions of Licensee or its User, including claims arising out of misuse of the Software by Licensee or any of its Users, or any breach of any of the covenants or conditions of this Agreement or Licensee’s terms and conditions.
9. Protection of Licensee Files. HH2 will take precautions which are commercially reasonable within the industry in which the Services are being provided to prevent the loss of or alteration to Licensee’s data files in HH2’s possession (“Personal Information”). Licensee will, to the extent it deems necessary, keep copies of all source documents of the information delivered to HH2 or entered by Licensee or on behalf of Licensee into the HH2 system and will maintain a procedure external to the HH2 system for the reconstruction of lost or altered data files. HH2 agrees that it does and shall continue to provide such level of security as set forth herein. HH2 employs and shall continue to employ policies and practices to protect Licensee’s Confidential Information during the term of this Agreement and following termination until all such Confidential Information is destroyed or returned to Licensee. HH2 shall implement and/or maintain an information security program that includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards and other security measures that are commercially reasonable within the industry. Licensee and each User shall at all times maintain original and duplicate or backup copies of his, her or its data, including but not limited to business records, Confidential Data and Content. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of loss, destruction, or deletion of any data files maintained by HH2, HH2 shall have no responsibility and no liability for the loss, destruction or deletion or failure to retain archival or backup data files.
10. Nondisclosure. All Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement will remain the exclusive and confidential property of the disclosing party. The receiving party will not disclose the Confidential Information of the disclosing party and will use at least the same degree of care, discretion, and diligence in protecting the Confidential Information of the disclosing party as it uses with respect to its own confidential information; provided; however for the avoidance of doubt, HH2 will limit disclosure of, and otherwise protect, Licensee’s Confidential Information pursuant to all other applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. The receiving party will limit access to Confidential Information to its employees that need to know the Confidential Information and will instruct those employees to keep the information confidential. Each receiving party shall cause each of its employees who have access to the other party’s Confidential Information to sign an agreement to keep such information confidential. The Agreement between HH2 and its employees shall include a provision giving Licensee the right to enforce the confidentiality obligation of HH2’s employees with respect to Licensee’s Confidential Information. It is understood, however, that HH2 may disclose the Licensee’s Confidential Information on a need-to-know basis to HH2’s subcontractors, if any, who perform Services for HH2, provided such HH2 subcontractors have executed confidentiality agreements. In addition, HH2 will establish and follow reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized access to Licensee’s data files. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the receiving party may disclose Confidential Information (i) to the extent necessary to comply with any law, rule, regulation or ruling applicable to it, (ii) as appropriate to respond to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation and (iii) to the extent necessary to enforce its rights under this Agreement. Where legally permissible, the recipient shall provide the disclosing party with prompt notice of any order, summons, subpoena, or similar action of a court or governmental agency, so that a protective order or other appropriate relief may be sought by the disclosing party. Upon the request of the disclosing party, the receiving party will return or destroy all Confidential Information of the disclosing party that is in its possession. The provisions of this Section 10 will survive the termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all information that is confidential or proprietary provided by the disclosing party to the receiving party for use in connection with the Services, but does not include (a) information the receiving party already knows (b) information that becomes generally available to the public except as a result of disclosure by the receiving party in violation of this Agreement, and (c) information that becomes known to the receiving party from a source other than the disclosing party on a non-confidential basis. Confidential Information also includes all trade secrets, processes, proprietary data, information or documentation, or any pricing or product information the disclosing party provides to the receiving party.
11. Third-Party Software. The website through which the Software and Services are provided may contain links to internet websites, software and/or other electronic resources owned, controlled or operated by third parties (“Third Party Websites”). HH2 exercises no control whatsoever over such other Third Party Websites or the data, information, content or other materials found on such Third Party Websites. HH2 shall not be liable under any circumstance, and bears no responsibility, for any loss or damage arising from or related to any data, information, content, or other materials found at any such Third Party Website or the operation or use thereof. HH2 shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss incurred or suffered by Licensee or any User in connection with the access or use of any such Third Party Websites.
12. Disclaimer of Warranty. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, use of the Software and the Services is at Licensee’s and each User’s sole risk. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Software and the Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis and HH2 assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any data or information. Licensee and each User will be solely responsible for any damage to his, her, or its computer system or loss of data which results from the download of any such material. HH2 EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, INTEROPERABILITY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. SPECIFICALLY, HH2 MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT (i) THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY SERVICES WILL MEET LICENSEE’S OR USER’S REQUIREMENTS, (ii) ACCESS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE, (iii) THE QUALITY OF ANY CONTENT, SOFTWARE, DATABASE, SERVICES OR REPORTS OBTAINED BY LICENSEE OR ANY USER WILL MEET HIS, HER OR ITS EXPECTATIONS, OR (iv) ANY ERRORS IN THE SOFTWARE WILL BE CORRECTED OR CORRECTED IN TIMELY MANNER.
13. Limitation of Damages; Waiver. HH2 shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if HH2 has been advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from Licensee’s or any User’s use or inability to use the Software, the Services, or any reports generated thereby; the cost of procurement of substitute services, software, information or content; unauthorized access to or alteration of Licensee’s or User’s transmissions or data; or any other matter relating to the Services or the Software. In no event shall HH2’s liability to Licensee, any particular User or other party exceed the Service Fees actually paid by Licensee to HH2 or paid by the ISV to HH2 on the Licensee’s behalf over the sixty (60) day period immediately preceding the date of the act, event or occurrence giving rise to such liability. In no event shall HH2’s total cumulative liability to Licensee or its Users exceed US$1,000.00 in any calendar year. Upon HH2’s payment of such amounts, if any, to Licensee, HH2 shall be, and hereby is, automatically released and discharged from any further liability of any kind or nature to Licensee or its Users arising from or related to the act, event or occurrence giving rise to such liability. The disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability apply, without limitation, to any damages or injury caused by the failure of performance, error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer virus, communication line failure, theft or destruction or unauthorized access to, alteration of or use of any asset, whether arising out of breach of contract, tortious behavior, negligence or any other course of action by HH2. Remedies herein provided shall be deemed the sole and exclusive available remedy(ies); and Licensee and each User stipulates and agrees that the exclusive remedy(ies) herein provided fully satisfy their essential and intended purposes (more particularly, Licensee and each User stipulates and agrees that the exclusive remedy(ies) provided herein will, despite the difficulty inherent in determining actual damages which might be incurred or suffered by Licensee, provide legally adequate monetary and other compensation to Licensee). Further, Licensee and each User acknowledges and stipulates that the exclusive remedy(ies) herein are bargained for, in exchange for lower Service Fees than would otherwise apply, and therefore such remedies do in fact satisfy their essential and intended purposes. The specification of remedies herein is intended to exclude any other rights or remedies at law or in equity which may be available to Licensee.
14. Notices. All notices, requests or other communications shall be in writing and shall be delivered via internet e-mail as follows: if to Licensee or any User, addressed to the email address on file HH2; and if to HH2, addressed to the following e-mail address: info@hh2.com. All notices, except notices of change of address, shall be deemed given when electronically mailed and notices of change of address shall be deemed given when received.
15. Term. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date or the date set forth in Schedule A and shall continue on a month-to-month basis until terminated upon 30 days prior written notice. Annual contracts may be used upon written agreement and, unless otherwise agreed to in writing, shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue on an annual basis until terminated upon 30 days prior written notice.
16. Termination of Software or Account Access. Any Licensee or User Account may be immediately terminated without notice for reasons that include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) Licensee’s failure to pay any Service Fees as and when due; (ii) violation of Rules promulgated by HH2; (iii) abuse of HH2’s resources or attempts to gain unauthorized access to the Software, restricted Accounts or Confidential Information or data contained in other Accounts; (iv) use of Services in a manner inconsistent with the Permitted Use; (v) use of the Services in any pornographic, unethical, disparaging or criminal manner, as determined by HH2 in its reasonable discretion, (vi) HH2 determines, in its reasonably exercised discretion, that Licensee’s or any User’s Registration Data is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete in any material respect and (vii) as required by applicable laws, rules, regulations, or orders of court or governing agencies of competent jurisdiction. In any such case, HH2 shall not be liable to Licensee or any User or other third party for any termination of any Account or access to the Software or Services. All sales are final. HH2 shall have no obligation and Licensee shall not have any right to a refund upon termination of this Agreement.

The failure of either of the parties at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by either of the parties of any condition, or of any breach of any term, covenant, representation, warranty, condition or agreement contained herein, shall be deemed to be or shall be construed to be a waiver or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or a waiver of any other condition or of the breach of any other term, covenant, representation, warranty, condition or agreement hereof.
