5.             FEES AND PAYMENT

5.1          Fees. As and when applicable (as agreed in a separately executed Order Form): User will pay all fees specified in Order Forms.

5.2          Invoicing and Payment. As and when applicable (as agreed in a separately executed Order Form): User will provide Procurement Foundry with valid and updated credit card information, or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to Procurement Foundry. If User provides credit card information to Procurement Foundry, User authorizes Procurement Foundry to charge such credit card for all Purchased Services listed in the Order Form for the initial subscription term and any renewal subscription term(s). Such charges shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order Form. If the Order Form specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, Procurement Foundry will invoice User in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, invoiced fees are due net 30 days from the invoice date. User is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Procurement Foundry and notifying Procurement Foundry of any changes to such information.

5.3          Overdue Charges. If any invoiced amount is not received by Procurement Foundry by the due date, then without limiting Procurement Foundry’s rights or remedies, (a) those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, and/or (b) Procurement Foundry may condition future subscription renewals and Order Forms on payment terms shorter than those specified in the “Invoicing and Payment” section above.

For clarity, Procurement Foundry is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.

6.             PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSES

6.1          Reservation of Rights.

7.             CONFIDENTIALITY

7.1          Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the exception of User Contact Information disclosed by Member and User in the registration process, Member and User agree that they will not share, post, upload, disseminate or otherwise publish any other Personal Data in connection with the Website or Procurement Foundry Services, unless expressly agreed in an Oder Form otherwise. Confidential Information of Procurement Foundry includes the Services and Content, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Confidential Information of each party includes business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without knowledge of any breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iv) was shared, posted, uploaded, disseminated or otherwise published by Member (inclusive of its Users) or User in connection with its use or access to the Website or Procurement Foundry Services (excluding User Contact Information disclosed as part of the registration process), or (v) was independently developed by the Receiving Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-disclosure obligations set forth in this “Confidentiality” section apply to Confidential Information exchanged between the parties in connection with the evaluation of additional Procurement Foundry services. For avoidance of doubt, as between Member and Procurement Foundry, all PF Content (other than to the extent it includes Member Data) and all other data collected or processed in accordance with this Agreement and to the extent inclusive of Personal Data, the Privacy Policy, is Procurement Foundry’s Confidential Information.

7.2          Protection of Confidential Information. As between the parties, each party retains all ownership rights in and to its Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent except as provided or otherwise permitted herein, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this “Confidentiality” section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Procurement Foundry may disclose the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Order Form to a contractor or Non-Procurement Foundry providers to the extent necessary to perform Procurement Foundry’s obligations under this Agreement.

7.3          Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.

9.             MUTUAL INDEMNIFICATION

9.1          Indemnification by Procurement Foundry. Procurement Foundry will defend Member (but not the individual User) against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against a Member (but not an individual User) by a third party alleging that any Procurement Foundry Service (including those provided by its Affiliates) infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights (a “Claim Against Member”), and will indemnify Member (not the individual User) from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Member as a result of, or for amounts paid by Member under a settlement approved by Procurement Foundry in writing of, a Claim Against Member, provided Member (a) promptly gives Procurement Foundry written notice of the Claim Against Member, (b) gives Procurement Foundry sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against Member (except that Procurement Foundry may not settle any Claim Against Member unless it unconditionally releases Member of all liability), and (c) gives Procurement Foundry all reasonable assistance, at Procurement Foundry’s expense. If Procurement Foundry receives information about an infringement or misappropriation claim related to a Service, Procurement Foundry may in its discretion and at no cost to Member (i) modify the Services so that they are no longer claimed to infringe or misappropriate, without breaching Procurement Foundry’s warranties under “Procurement Foundry Warranties” above, (ii) obtain a license for Member’s continued use of that Service in accordance with this Agreement, or (iii) terminate Member’s subscriptions for that Service upon 30 days’ written notice and refund Member any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of the terminated subscriptions. The above defense and indemnification obligations of Procurement Foundry do not apply if (I) the allegation does not state with specificity that the Services are the basis of the Claim Against Member; (II) a Claim Against Member arises from the use or combination of the Services or any part thereof with software, hardware, data, or processes not provided by Procurement Foundry, if the Services or use thereof would not infringe without such combination; (III) a Claim Against Member arises from Services under an Order Form for which there is no charge; or (IV) a Claim against Member arises from posting, use of or reliance on PF Content (for avoidance of doubt, inclusive of any Member Data supplied by any member or user of Procurement Foundry Services as well as all derivative works, reports, insights, inferences and conclusions connected thereto), a Non-Procurement Foundry provider, or Member’s (or another member’s or user’s) breach of this Agreement or applicable Order Forms; or (V) a Claim arising out of those circumstances where Member owes Procurement Foundry an obligation of indemnity (per section 9.2 immediately below). This clause sets out Procurement Foundry’s and its Affiliates entire liability for any infringement of intellectual property rights and for any indemnification.

9.2          Indemnification by Member. User will defend Procurement Foundry and its Affiliates and Third Party Providers against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against Procurement Foundry, its Affiliates and/or Third Party Providers by a third party alleging or otherwise arising from (i) User’s use of the Website, the Services, or the PF Content, or (ii) User’s reliance on the accuracy, insight, or inferences drawn from the Procurement Foundry Services or the PF Content; (iii) any Member Data supplied or shared by or on behalf of User, or User’s use of Member Data (or use of data supplied by other users or other members) in connection with the Services or the PF Community, or (iv) a Non-Procurement Foundry provider services ordered or utilized by a User or; (v) User’s breach of these Terms or any applicable laws or regulations, (vi) User’s violation, breach or misappropriation of a third party’s copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, right of privacy, right of publicity, or other intellectual property, proprietary or other right, (viii) User’s tortious acts including, without limitation, defamation, and/or (ix) any claims User may raise against third parties relating to third party products or services (each a “Claim Against Procurement Foundry”), and will indemnify Procurement Foundry from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Procurement Foundry or its Affiliates or Third Party Providers as a result of, or for any amounts paid by Procurement Foundry or its Affiliates or Third Party Providers under a settlement approved by User in writing of, a Claim Against Procurement Foundry, provided Procurement Foundry or its Affiliates or Third Party Providers (A) promptly gives User written notice of the Claim Against Procurement Foundry (provided failure to provide prompt notice shall not vitiate the obligation to defend and indemnify except to the extent Member can show actual prejudice from such delayed notice), (B) gives User sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against Procurement Foundry (except that Member may not settle any Claim Against Procurement Foundry unless it unconditionally releases Procurement Foundry of all liability), and (C) gives User all reasonable assistance, at Member’s expense. The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply if a Claim Against Procurement Foundry arises from Procurement Foundry’s breach of this Agreement or applicable Order Forms.

12.11   Agreement to Governing Law and Jurisdiction.
