PAYMENT TERMS
Payment Information. OpenMedium will keep your contact information, billing information and credit card information (where applicable) up to date. Changes to your payment information may be made in your customer billing portal or by calling customer support. All payment obligations are non-cancelable and all amounts paid are non-refundable, except as specifically provided for in this Agreement. Unless otherwise stated in a SOW or invoice, all fees are due and payable in advance throughout the Subscription Term or as specified in the Order. If you are a reseller that purchases on behalf of an end-user client, you agree to be responsible for the Order and to guarantee payment of all fees.
Payment Against Invoice. If you are paying by invoice, we will invoice you no more than fifteen (15) days before the beginning of the Subscription Term and each subsequent billing period, and other times based on the SOW or as specified in your Order. All amounts invoiced are due and payable within fifteen (15) days from the date of the invoice, unless otherwise specified in the Order or SOW. Any amounts paid by you in advance shall be considered non-refundable retainer payments.
Payment By Credit Card. If you are paying by credit card, you authorize us to charge your credit card or bank account for all fees payable during the Subscription Term, SOW and as specified in the Order. You further authorize us to use a third party to process payments, and consent to the disclosure of your payment information to such third party.
Early Termination. Unless otherwise indicated in an SOW, the Subscription Term will continue month-to-month until either party provides at least 30 days’ written notice of non-renewal or termination to the other party. The termination date shall be the thirtieth (30th) day following the day notice to the other party is deemed to have been given. If any part of your payments are due or past due, they are still deemed due and payable. Customer acknowledges that any fees paid to OpenMedium were paid on a flat-fee basis and are non-refundable. If Customer terminates this Agreement or an SOW early, OpenMedium will not be obligated to refund any fees already paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if OpenMedium terminates the Services early and for any reason other than termination for cause pursuant to the below paragraph, OpenMedium will refund to fees paid by Customer in advance for Services that OpenMedium has not performed as of the effective date of termination, determined on a pro rata basis.
Termination for Cause. OpenMedium may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to Customer, if Customer: (i) fails to pay any amount when due hereunder, and such failure continues more than 15 days after OpenMedium’s delivery of written notice thereof; or (ii) breaches any of its obligations under Confidentiality.
Refunds. OpenMedium does not provide refunds if Customer decides to stop using the Services during the current Subscription Term or SOW.
Suspension of Services. In addition to all other remedies available to OpenMedium, if Customer fails to pay any fees owned to OpenMedium, OpenMedium may suspend performance of the Services until all past due amounts have been paid, without incurring any obligation or liability to Customer or any other person by reason of such suspension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, OpenMedium may temporarily suspend Customer’s and any user’s access to any portion or all of the Services if: (i) OpenMedium reasonably determines that (A) there is a threat or attack on any of the Services; (B) Customer’s or any user’s use of the Services disrupts or poses a security risk to the Services or to any other customer or vendor of OpenMedium; (C) Customer, or any user, is using the Services for fraudulent or illegal activities; (D) subject to applicable law, Customer has ceased to continue its business in the ordinary course, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar disposition of its assets, or become the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or similar proceeding; or (E) OpenMedium’s provision of the Services to Customer or any user is prohibited by applicable law; (ii) any vendor of OpenMedium has suspended or terminated OpenMedium’s access to or use of any third-party services or products required to enable Customer to access the Services; or (iii) as otherwise set forth in this Agreement (a “Service Suspension”). OpenMedium shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice of any Service Suspension to Customer and to provide updates regarding the resumption of access to the Services following any Service Suspension. OpenMedium shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume providing access to the Services as soon as reasonably possible after the event giving rise to the Service Suspension is cured. OpenMedium will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits), or any other consequences that Customer or any user may incur as a result of a Service Suspension.
CONFIDENTIALITY
For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by OpenMedium to Customer or by Customer to OpenMedium which is in tangible form and labeled “confidential” (or with a similar legend) or which a reasonable person would understand to be confidential given the nature of the information and circumstances of disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that (a) was already known to the receiving party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party; (b) was or is obtained by the receiving party by a third party not known by the receiving party to be under an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information; (c) is or becomes generally available to the public other than by violation of these terms; (d) was or is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information.
Subject to the express permissions of this Agreement, OpenMedium and Customer will protect each other’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access and disclosure in the same manner as each protects its own Confidential Information, but with no less than reasonable care. Except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement, each party may use the other party’s Confidential Information solely to exercise its respective rights and perform its respective obligations under this Agreement and shall disclose such Confidential Information solely to those of its Subcontractors who have a need to know such Confidential Information for such purposes and who are bound to maintain the confidentiality of, and not misuse, such Confidential Information.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not prevent the party receiving Confidential Information from disclosing such Confidential Information to the extent required by a judicial order or other legal obligation, provided that, in such event, the receiving party shall promptly notify the disclosing party of such requirement to allow intervention (and shall cooperate with the disclosing party at the disclosing party’s expense) to contest or minimize the scope of the disclosure (including application for a protective order).
The Parties acknowledge that any unpermitted disclosure of a party’s Confidential Information will cause the disclosing party irreparable harm for which its remedies at law would be inadequate. Accordingly, each party (as the receiving party) acknowledges and agrees that the party disclosing Confidential Information will be entitled, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, to the issuance of injunctive relief, without bond, enjoining any breach or threatened breach of the receiving party’s obligations hereunder with respect to the Confidential Information of the disclosing party, and such further relief as any court of competent jurisdiction may deem just and proper.Upon termination of this Agreement or a request by a disclosing party, each party, as a receiving party of Confidential Information, will return to the disclosing party any and all copies of the material containing the other party’s Confidential Information, or any portion thereof, in the possession of the receiving party, except for information necessary to implement the objectives of this Agreement after its termination.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each party represents and warrants to the other party that:
a. it is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing as a corporation or other entity under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or other organization;
b. it has the full right, power, and authority to enter into, and to perform its obligations and grant the rights and licenses it grants or is required to grant under this Agreement;
c. the execution of this Agreement by its representative whose signature is set forth at the end of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or organizational action of such party; and
d. when executed and delivered by both parties, this Agreement will constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms.
USE RESTRICTIONS

Customer shall not at any time, directly or indirectly, and shall not permit any users to: (i) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Services or documentation, in whole or in part; (ii) rent, lease, lend, sell, license, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or otherwise make available the Services or documentation; (iii) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, decode, adapt, or otherwise attempt to derive or gain access to any software component of the Services, in whole or in part; (iv) remove any proprietary notices from the Services or documentation; or (v) use the Services or documentation in any manner or for any purpose that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property right or other right of any person, or that violates any applicable law.
OpenMedium reserves all rights not expressly granted to Customer in this Agreement. Except for the limited rights and licenses expressly granted under this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement grants, by implication, waiver, estoppel, or otherwise, to Customer or any third party any intellectual property rights or other right, title, or interest in or to the OpenMedium’s systems, Intellectual Property Rights, or the Services.
THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS
OpenMedium may from time to time make Third-Party Products available to Customer. For purposes of this Agreement, such Third-Party Products are subject to their own terms and conditions and the applicable flow-through provisions.

are provided with or incorporated into the Services.
INDEMNIFICATION

These indemnification provisions shall be conditioned upon Customer not consenting to any judgment or decree or entering into any settlement of such action without OpenMedium’s prior written approval.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT SHALL OPENMEDIUM OR ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, AFFILIATES OR SUBCONTRACTORS, BE LIABLE FOR ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, AND OTHERWISE, FOR ANY: (A) LOSS OF PRODUCTION, USE, BUSINESS, REVENUE, OR PROFIT, OR LOSS OF DATA OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE, OR (B) CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, ENHANCED, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PERSONS WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES OR SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES WERE OTHERWISE FORESEEABLE, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, CUSTOMER’S REMEDY AND OPENMEDIUM’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF ANY SLA IS EXCLUSIVELY SET FORTH IN SUCH SLA. IF THERE IS NO REMEDY SET FORTH IN THE SLA WITH RESPECT TO A PARTICULAR SERVICE LEVEL, THEN SUCH SERVICE LEVEL IS A GOAL AND OPENMEDIUM SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND FOR FAILURE TO MEET SUCH SERVICE LEVEL.
THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

MISCELLANEOUS
a. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Colorado, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect. This Agreement constitutes the terms and conditions between us regarding our Service, and supersede and replace any prior agreements we might have had between us regarding the Service.
b. 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.
c. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, all notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications under this Agreement have binding legal effect only if in writing and addressed to a party to such address that such party may designate from time to time. Notices sent in accordance with this Section shall be deemed effectively given: (a) when received, if delivered by hand, with signed confirmation of receipt; (b) when received, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier, signature required; and (c) and on the third day after the date mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.
e. This Agreement, together with any SOW, Order, OpenMedium’s policies located on its website, and any other document incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements made in the body of this Agreement, the related exhibits, attachments, and appendices and any SOW or Order, the following order of precedence governs: (a) first, this Agreement, excluding its exhibits, attachments, and appendices; (b) second, the exhibits, attachments, and appendices to this Agreement as of the Effective Date; and (c) third, any other documents incorporated herein by reference.
f. Customer shall not 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 OpenMedium’s prior written consent. For purposes of the preceding sentence, and without limiting its generality, any merger, consolidation, or reorganization involving Customer (regardless of whether Customer is a surviving or disappearing entity) will be deemed to be a transfer of rights, obligations, or performance under this Agreement for which OpenMedium’s prior written consent is required. No delegation or other transfer will relieve Customer of any of its obligations or performance under this Agreement. Any purported assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section is void. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
g. In no event will OpenMedium be liable or responsible to Customer, or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond OpenMedium’s reasonable control, including (i) acts of God; (ii) flood, fire, earthquake, epidemic, or explosion; (iii) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest; (iv) government order, law, or actions; (v) embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; and (vi) national or regional emergency.

i. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate 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 so as to effect 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.

Except where prohibited by law, Customer shall require its insurer to waive all rights of subrogation against OpenMedium’s insurers and OpenMedium.
k. 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.
