A. Provided Customer meets all of the access and security requirements set forth in this Section 2, the ELM Data included in the Products and Services (including any Subscription) may be accessed via Customer’s internal network and printed, displayed, transmitted and shared internally as needed in the regular course of Customer’s business at the Customer’s Locations. Copyright notices must be retained on any transmitted or printed items.
B. Customer may not sell, sublicense, distribute, display, reproduce, store or transfer the GovDocs ELM Tools or ELM Data in any way that would allow non-authorized Customer Locations, affiliates, vendors or other third parties use of or access to the same. Customer may not use any means to discern the source code of GovDocs ELM Tools.
C. Prior to accessing the Customer’s Subscription (or if required to access any Services or Products), Customer will designate its Authorized Users and assign unique usernames and strong passwords to each Authorized User. Passwords shall only be used by the Authorized User to whom issued; sharing of passwords is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Customer is solely responsible for the authorization and management of all Authorized User accounts and is responsible for ensuring that their use of the Services and Products is in accordance with this Agreement (for example, Customer must ensure that its Authorized Users comply with the Acceptable Use Policy). Access and use by any unauthorized person or entity is not permitted. Customer will provide to GovDocs, upon request, the names and addresses of each Authorized User GovDocs and will immediately notify GovDocs of any loss, theft or unauthorized use of any of a user name, password and/or other personal or company identification numbers that may be assigned by Customer, or any unauthorized access to or use of GovDocs ELM Tools or the ELM Data.
D. Customer understands and acknowledges that under this Agreement GovDocs may be providing sensitive and proprietary information access to its computer systems. Customer represents and warrants that it will not access the ELM Data or any computer systems of GovDocs for any purpose other than as necessary to receive the benefits of this Agreement and that Customer will not use any system access information to gain unauthorized access to the ELM Data or GovDocs systems, or to exceed the scope of any unauthorized access hereunder. All access by Customer to the ELM Data and any GovDocs system must be encrypted and pass through firewalls and data security protections sufficient to ensure the security and confidentiality of the ELM Data and to protect against any unauthorized access to any computer systems of GovDocs.

F. Customer access to the ELM Data and any GovDocs systems must be limited to devices that are properly configured with security software (e., antivirus, anti-malware, encryption, etc.), and run an acceptable industry standard anti-malware solution. To that end Customer will undertake and maintain reasonable precautions to safeguard the integrity of the ELM Data and any GovDocs system including the implementation of procedures to ensure that no disabling codes or instructions, timers, copy protection devices, “back doors,” “time bombs,” “Trojan horses,” “worms,” “viruses” or other software routines or hardware components that permit unauthorized access or the unauthorized disablement or unauthorized erasure of data or other software by a third party are introduced into the ELM Data or any GovDocs system.
G. By (i) executing or otherwise accepting an Order Document, (ii) submitting an Order Document to GovDocs or (iii) using or accessing GovDocs’ Products and/or Services, Customer accepts and agrees to be bound by all of the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Agreement.
H. Except as expressly provided in this License, Customer may not otherwise reproduce, retransmit, distribute, disseminate, sell, license, sublicense, lease, publish, broadcast or circulate any GovDocs Products and Services; however, nothing in this License is intended to reduce, limit or restrict any rights arising from fair use, fair dealing, first sale or other limitations on the exclusive rights of the copyright owner under copyright law or other applicable laws.
3. ADD-ONS AND SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE.
A. Add-ons applicable to a Subscription, including customized services, are as described in the Order Document. A Statement of Work shall be applicable to a Subscription only if the Order Document expressly incorporates the same by reference.
B. In the operation of our business GovDocs has adopted standard practices and policies – which we call “Supplemental Terms and Conditions” – that apply to each Customer and all of our Products and Services. The Supplemental Terms and Conditions mean and include, collectively, the (a) GovDocs Guarantee for Poster Non-Compliance, (b) GovDocs Acceptable Use Policy, (c) GovDocs Privacy Policy and (d) GovDocs Service Level Agreement. The Supplemental Terms and Conditions, together with each of the documents that collectively comprise the Supplemental Terms and Conditions, are expressly incorporated into, and hereby made an integral part of, this Agreement. Each document comprising the Supplemental Terms and Conditions is specified at (and can be downloaded from) govdocs.com/agreement-support (or an alternate site identified by GovDocs). Any deviations from, or changes to, even one of the Supplemental Terms and Conditions must be expressly referenced in a signed Order Document in order to be effective and to ensure that pricing reflects non-standard terms.
C. In the event that any of the Supplemental Terms and Conditions conflict with any term or condition set forth in this Agreement, the term or condition set forth in this Agreement shall govern and prevail.
4. FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS
A. Fees and Charges: The fees for selected GovDocs Products and Services are set forth in the applicable Order Document (and if no fee is stated in an Order Document, then Customer shall pay GovDocs’ then-current fee for the applicable Product or Service). Invoices submitted to Customer are due and payable within thirty (30) days of the date on the invoice. Customer is solely responsible for payment of fees and charges attributable to any Products or Services provided under this Agreement to any affiliate of Customer.
i. Balances outstanding after thirty (30) days will be subject to a one percent (1%) late fee, or the highest amount allowed by applicable law, whichever is less.
ii. Failure to make timely payment may result in suspension or termination of one or more of Customer’s GovDocs Products or Services.
iii. Initial access to any GovDocs Product, Service or Subscription will occur only upon receipt of payment, and continued access to any GovDocs Product or Service is contingent upon and subject to timely payment of all invoices.
B. Credit Card Transactions: GovDocs accepts payments via cash, check or Customer’s business credit card. Customer must prepay or provide business credit card for processing of any small dollar purchases (for example, replacement posters totaling less than $150 per order).
C. Taxes: Unless Customer provides GovDocs with a valid signed tax exemption certificate applicable to the ship-to location of a particular Service or Product, Customer is responsible for all applicable sales or use taxes or any value-added or similar taxes payable for Customer’s Products or Services including individual poster purchases (excluding taxes based upon GovDocs’ income). In the event that GovDocs pays any such taxes on behalf of Customer, GovDocs will invoice Customer for such taxes, which Customer agrees to pay.
D. Annual Increases: Because GovDocs is committed to maintaining competitive pricing for its Products and Services, pricing and fees will remain fixed during the initial Term. Further, GovDocs’ policy is to limit annual price increases to less than 5% whenever feasible.
5. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
A. Ownership: Notwithstanding any license granted to the Customer, GovDocs retains all Intellectual Property rights in the Products and Services (including GovDocs’ ELM Tools and ELM Data) together with any software, modifications or enhancements incorporated therein. GovDocs retains all Intellectual Property rights to patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secret rights, mask rights, trademark and service mark rights, and any and all other proprietary rights of any kind whatsoever now existing or later arising in connection with the Products and/or Services (including the GovDocs ELM Tools) regardless of whether any enhancements, modifications or derivative works are suggested or developed by Customer, GovDocs or any other person, entity or organization. Customer will retain the rights to any custom content that is solely provided by and specific to the Customer.
B. Treatment of Confidential Information: Customer and GovDocs shall maintain all proprietary and confidential information (“Confidential Information”) of the other party in confidence and shall not use it for any purpose other than the purposes expressly contemplated by this Agreement. Each party will protect the other party’s Confidential Information with the same standard of care it uses to protect its own Confidential Information or in a commercially reasonable manner, whichever is greater.
C. Protection of Customer Information: Without limiting the foregoing and except as mandated by applicable law, regulation or subpoena, GovDocs will not disclose to third parties any of the following information provided by Customer: addresses, contact information or data associated with Customer Locations, Customer finances, staffing levels, personnel policies, pricing, and/or Customer’s technology, marketing strategy or plans and policies related to access to or use of GovDocs ELM Tools. With Customer’s written consent, GovDocs may use Customer’s name and logo in its sales materials and on its website, depicting Customer as a representative client of GovDocs.
D. Protection of GovDocs Information: Customer will not disclose any of the following to third parties: GovDocs’ pricing, technologies, marketing strategies or detailed product information.
6. TERM AND TERMINATION. The term of this Agreement begins on the date that Customer signs this Agreement and will remain in effect until all Services, Products and/or Subscriptions ordered pursuant to this Agreement have ended (the “Term”), unless earlier terminated as provided herein.
A. If Customer adds Customer Locations in an existing Term, the new Customer Locations will be added at Customer’s expense for the remaining period of such existing Term.
B. The minimum initial Term of any Subscription is one year and no refunds are given if Customer terminates this Agreement or any Subscription before expiration of the initial Term.
C. All GovDocs Subscriptions are automatically renewed each year for one additional year (the “Renewal Term”), at the then-current fees and policies, unless either party notifies the other of its intent not to renew at least thirty (30) calendar days before the expiration of the Term or the Renewal Term. Any such notice of non-renewal will terminate both this Agreement and any applicable Subscription effective as of the date on which the initial Term or applicable Renewal Term expires.
D. All renewals are governed by the terms of this Agreement then in effect. GovDocs shall provide sixty (60) days’ advance notice of any price adjustments applicable to the Renewal Term.
E. After completion of the minimum initial Term of one year, either party may terminate this Agreement for convenience upon 30 days written notice, and this Agreement shall then terminate 30 days after the date of such notice. If GovDocs so terminates this Agreement for convenience, Customer shall have no further payment obligations and shall be entitled to a pro rata refund of any amounts prepaid for Products or Services which were to have been provided after the effective date of any such termination. If Customer so terminates this Agreement for convenience, Customer shall not be eligible for, and shall not receive, a refund of any amounts prepaid for Products or Services which were to have been provided after the effective date of any such termination.
Notwithstanding, GovDocs reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend with notice, or to immediately terminate, this Agreement or any Product or Service, including any Subscription, upon the occurrence of any of the following:
A. Customer fails to make any required payment to GovDocs when due; or
B. GovDocs determines that Customer’s use of any Product or Service is (i) in breach of the GovDocs Acceptable Use Policy; (ii) has resulted in or is likely to result in a breach of security, confidentiality or privacy; or (iii) constitutes or is likely to constitute a violation of Applicable Law (as defined in Section 8 below); or
C. Customer violates the terms of the License granted herein.
If GovDocs suspends or terminates this Agreement or any Product or Service, including any Subscription, for any of the foregoing reasons, the License granted herein shall terminate immediately. Except for a termination for convenience by GovDocs, termination shall not relieve Customer of any obligation to pay any amounts due for any Product or Service, including any Subscription.
7. NO PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. The information provided through the Products and Services (including the GovDocs ELM Tools and any Subscription) is not and shall not be construed as legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other professional advice or sufficient to satisfy any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other professional requirements. Such information has been obtained from sources GovDocs believes to be reliable; however no guarantee is made or implied with respect to its accuracy, timeliness or completeness, and all such information is subject to change without notice. Customer shall conduct its own due diligence and seek the assistance and advice of a qualified legal, tax or accounting professional, and Customer assumes sole responsibility for decisions or opinions made by Customer in the course of using any of the Products and Services (including any Subscription, the GovDocs ELM Tools and/or ELM Data).

E. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, ALL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO CUSTOMER “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. GOVDOCS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS OR CLAIM OF ANY KIND RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE USE OF THE PRODUCTS AND ANY CONTENT CONTAINED THEREIN, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

C. The limitations set forth in this Section 9 shall apply whether in an action based on contract, warranty, strict liability, statute, tort (including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise. The parties agree that the limitations specified in this Section 9 will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose; represent an allocation of risk between the parties; and are an essential and material part of this Agreement.
