3. Fees, Expenses and Payment.

  1. Fees. In consideration of receipt of the Service and the performance of Camber’s other duties and obligations set forth in each Order Form and hereunder, Customer shall pay to Camber the fees (the “Fees”) set forth in the Order Form.
  2. Fair Market Value Compensation. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Fees set forth on the Order Form (i) constitute fair market value for the Service provided; (ii) are not being given in exchange for any explicit or implicit agreement by either Party to recommend, provide, use, order, or provide favorable status for any of the parties’ products or services, including the Service, or to reward or influence any formulary or clinical practice guidelines committees or prescribing or dispensing decisions; and (iii) have not been determined in a manner that takes into account the volume or value of any referrals or business or potential referrals or business that might otherwise be generated by the parties.
  3. Taxes. Customer will be responsible for, and will promptly pay or reimburse Camber for, the payment of all sales, use, excise, value-added, or similar taxes, assessments, or duties (or other similar charges) imposed by any governmental agency (including any interest and penalty imposed thereon as a result of any act or omission of Camber that is in accordance with the direction or request of Customer) that are based on or with respect to any Service or goods provided by Camber to Customer, or the amounts payable to Camber therefore.
  4. ACH Debits. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Camber, the payment of all Fees and taxes payable hereunder must be made by ACH debits from Customer’s “authorized account” set forth on Exhibit A, through any legally permissible payment processor selected by Camber. Prior to the commencement of the Service, Customer must complete, sign and return to Camber Exhibit A. Customer shall have no right of offset or withholding under this Agreement.

Both Parties agree that the rate of interest on overdue Fees and taxes shall be 5% per month, or the maximum amount allowable by applicable law, whichever is greater. If any amounts due to Camber from Customer become past due for any reason, Camber may at its option and without further notice withhold access to the Service until all Fees and taxes have been paid in full, and such withholding of Service shall not be considered a breach or default of any of Camber’s obligations under this Agreement. Any revocation of the ACH authorization by Customer during the term set forth on the Order Form may constitute an improper early termination of the Service in Camber’s sole discretion, which shall cause the entire remaining minimum amount of Fees due during the term set forth on the Order Form to become immediately due and payable by Customer. In no event shall a revocation of ACH authorization serve to relieve Customer of its obligation to make payments of Fees, whether past-due or accelerated.
  5. Accounting Records. Each Party shall maintain complete and accurate records of, and supporting documentation for, all amounts billable to and payments made by either Party hereunder in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no license or other rights in the pre-existing intellectual property rights to the Service are granted to Customer, and all such rights are hereby expressly reserved.

  4. Customer hereby grants to Camber a non-exclusive, royalty-free, and non-transferable license to use, copy, store, transmit, modify, and display the Customer Data as necessary to provide the Service in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Camber may collect and provide certain statistical information, such as usage or traffic patterns, in aggregate and anonymized form to third parties, provided that such information does not identify any Authorized Service User or Customer and contains no personally identifying information. Camber may use Customer Data to provide Customer with data aggregation services (as that term is defined by HIPAA). In addition, Camber may use protected health information and personally identifiable information to create de-identified data in accordance with 45 CFR 164.514(a)-(c), retaining any and all ownership claims related to the de-identified data it creates from protected health information and personally identifiable information. Camber may access Customer’s and its Authorized Service Users’ accounts, including, without limitation, Customer Data, to the extent necessary to respond to service or technical problems and may use all aggregated de-identified information and de-identified data for purposes of enhancing the Service, technical support, analytics, reporting and research and development, all in compliance with HIPAA and any applicable privacy laws.
  5. Customer hereby grants Camber a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and royalty-free license to use Customer Marks for the limited purposes set forth in this Agreement, including as necessary for Camber’s performance under this Agreement, to deliver the Service in accordance with this Agreement, and in marketing materials related to the Service.
  6. Camber will have the right to use, act upon, and freely exploit any suggestion, idea, enhancement request, feedback, recommendation, or other information provided by Customer or any Authorized Service User, or any other third party acting on Customer’s behalf, without any remuneration, fee, royalty, or expense of any kind, and Camber will hereby own all rights, title, and interest in any such suggestion, idea, enhancement request, feedback, recommendation, or other information provided by Customer, an Authorized Service User or any other third party acting on Customer’s behalf.

6. Proprietary Rights.

Customer acknowledges that in providing the Service, Camber utilizes: (a) the name, logo, and domain name of the product names associated with the Service and other trademarks; (b) certain audio and visual information, documents, software, and other works of authorship; and (c) other technology, hardware, products, processes, algorithms, user interfaces, know-how, and other trade secrets, techniques, designs, inventions, and other tangible or intangible technical material or information (collectively “Camber Technology”) and that the Camber Technology is covered by intellectual property rights owned or licensed by Camber (“Camber IP Rights”). Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no license or other rights in the Camber IP Rights are granted to Customer, and all such rights are hereby expressly reserved. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer is solely responsible for complying with the applicable restrictions on use of all Camber Technology that Customer sees, hears and uses through the Service. Customer understands that any unauthorized use of Camber Technology would result in irreparable injury for which money damages would be inadequate. Customer agrees that it shall promptly inform Camber if it becomes aware of any unauthorized use of Camber Technology. Customer further acknowledges that, in the event of any such unauthorized use, Camber or the applicable intellectual property owner will have the right, in addition to other remedies available at law and in equity, to immediate injunctive relief to prevent any such unauthorized use. Customer agrees that this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

7. Confidentiality.

  1. Mutual Confidentiality. Customer and Camber understand and agree that in the performance of this Agreement each Party may have access to private or Confidential Information of the other Party, which either is marked as “confidential”, or the receiving Party should reasonably know under the circumstances that such information is confidential and/or proprietary information of the other Party. At all times and notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party shall hold such Confidential Information in strict confidence and not, without the consent of the other, disclose it to a third Party or use it for any purpose other than in performance of this Agreement. The receiving Party will only permit access to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to those of its employees or authorized representatives having a need to know and who have signed confidentiality agreements or are otherwise bound by confidentiality obligations substantially similar to those contained in this Agreement. The receiving Party will be responsible to the disclosing Party for any third party’s use and disclosure of the Confidential Information that the receiving Party provides to such third party in accordance with this Agreement. The receiving Party will use at least the same degree of care it would use to protect its own Confidential Information of like importance, but in any case, with no less than a reasonable degree of care, including maintaining information security standards for such Confidential Information as are commercially reasonable and customary for the type of Confidential Information.
  2. Exceptions. This obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to information that: (i) is generally available to the public through no act or omission of the receiving Party, (ii) becomes known to the receiving Party through a third party under no obligation of confidentiality, (iii) was in the receiving Party’s possession before receipt from the disclosing Party and is not subject to another confidentiality agreement or obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party, (iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party not in contravention of this Agreement, or (v) is required to be disclosed by law, court order, or by any government or regulatory authority of competent jurisdiction (“Law”). If any Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by Law, before any such disclosure the receiving Party will provide notice to the disclosing Party reasonably sufficient to allow the disclosing Party the opportunity to apply for a protective order or other restriction regarding such disclosure.
  3. Ownership of Confidential Information. All Confidential Information will remain the exclusive property of the disclosing Party. The disclosure of the Confidential Information to the receiving Party does not confer upon the receiving Party any license, interest, or right of any kind in or to the Confidential Information, except as provided under this Agreement.
  4. Publicity. No public announcement, press release, or communication concerning this Agreement shall be made without the prior consent of the other Party.
  5. Unauthorized Disclosure. Each Party to this Agreement will immediately notify the other Party in writing upon discovery of any unauthorized loss, access, or disclosure of the Confidential Information of the other Party. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, upon written request of the other Party, or when no longer needed by either Party for fulfillment of its obligations under this Agreement, each Party will either: (a) promptly return to the other Party all documents and other tangible materials representing the other Party’s Confidential Information, and all copies thereof in its possession or control; or (b) destroy all tangible copies of the other Party’s Confidential Information in its possession or control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party’s legal counsel may retain one copy of this Agreement and matters discussed relating to this Agreement for its files solely to provide a record for archival purposes.
  6. Remedies. If either Party should breach or threaten to breach any provision of this Section 7 of the Agreement, the non-breaching Party, in addition to any other remedy it may have at law or in equity, will be entitled to seek a restraining order, injunction, or other similar remedy in order to specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement. Each Party specifically acknowledges that money damages alone would be an inadequate remedy for the injuries and damages that would be suffered and incurred by the non-breaching Party as a result of a breach of any provision of this Section. In the event that either Party should seek an injunction hereunder, the other Party hereby waives any requirement for the submission of proof of the economic value of any Confidential Information or the posting of a bond or any other security. In the event of a dispute between the Parties, the non-prevailing Party will pay all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, associated with resolving the dispute.
  7. Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any valuable, non-public business information, including this Agreement and all matters discussed relating to this Agreement, and any personally identifiable health, medical, employment, and similar private personal information, that is designated or identified as confidential at the time of the disclosure or is by its nature clearly recognizable as Confidential Information to a reasonably prudent person with knowledge of the disclosing Party’s business and industry, including the Customer Data.
