PAYMENT TERMS

As consideration for maintaining and delivering Business Logs in accordance with this Agreement, the Client shall pay the Service Provider as follows.

TERM AND TERMINATION

This Agreement commences on the Start Date and shall continue until the End Date unless earlier terminated as provided below.

Either party may terminate this Agreement for material breach by the other party if the breaching party fails to cure the breach within the specified notice period. Termination shall not relieve either party of obligations accrued prior to the effective date of termination.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Each party acknowledges that Business Logs may contain Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means nonpublic information disclosed in any form that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential. The receiving party shall protect Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care. Confidential Information shall not include information that is (a) publicly known through no fault of the receiving party; (b) rightfully received from a third party without breach; or (c) independently developed without use of disclosed Confidential Information.

The Service Provider shall not disclose Business Logs or underlying Confidential Information except to employees, contractors, auditors or advisers who have a need to know and who are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those contained in this Agreement. All disclosures required by law shall be made only after prompt notice to the other party, to the extent legally permitted.

AUDIT AND RECORD RETENTION

The Client may, upon reasonable prior written notice and during normal business hours, audit the Service Provider's Business Logs and supporting documentation to verify compliance with this Agreement. The Service Provider shall retain Business Logs and supporting documents for the retention period specified above and shall promptly produce them upon lawful request by the Client or an authorized auditor.

WARRANTIES; REPRESENTATIONS

The Service Provider represents and warrants that Business Logs will be prepared accurately and contemporaneously, and that entries will reflect actual services rendered and expenses incurred. Intentional falsification of Business Logs by the Service Provider shall be a material breach entitling the Client to termination for cause and recovery of damages.

GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction specified below, without regard to conflict of law principles.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, whether written or oral. No amendment shall be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties.
