Subscriber understands that LinkinLegal’s completion of the implementation process is entirely dependent upon Subscriber’s timely and effective completion of responsibilities under the terms of this Agreement. In the event on-site implementation services are required or requested by Subscriber, LinkinLegal may pass on any incidental travel-related expenditures to Subscriber, as agreed to and specified in a Sales Order.

Subscriber understands and acknowledges: (i) that its failure to engage in good faith best efforts to implement the LinkinLegal Services shall relieve LinkinLegal of its obligations to implement the LinkinLegal Services within any specified period of time; (ii) that its good faith efforts, including timely and responsive communication surrounding the implementation efforts are expected and relied upon by LinkinLegal; and (iii) LinkinLegal cannot complete a successful and timely implementation absent Subscriber’s good faith best efforts and cooperation.

Third-Party Equipment/Software. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that to use the LinkinLegal Service, each Authorized User will need a personal computing device, a tablet, or other computing device which has Internet access and is in compliance with any of LinkinLegal’s written specifications, as may be set forth in the Documentation. In addition, certain third-party software which is not incorporated into the LinkinLegal Service may be required to be loaded onto such computer or other device (each such device when properly installed with the required third party software to access the LinkinLegal Service, herein referred to as an “Authorized Device”) for Subscriber to access, use, or enjoy the full benefit of the LinkinLegal Service (including a compatible third party web browser). Subscriber shall be fully responsible for obtaining Authorized Devices for use by Subscriber’s Authorized Users at Subscriber’s own cost. Subscriber’s use of such separately acquired third party software shall be in accordance with any terms and conditions of the end user license agreement provided with such software. Additionally, the LinkinLegal Services may include certain open-source software components, each of which has its own copyright notice and license included in the applicable license file and documentation. It is Subscriber’s responsibility to comply with such third-party terms and conditions.

Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber’s access to and use of the LinkinLegal Service does not carry, and Subscriber does not receive under this Agreement any license, covenant not to sue, or other rights under any third-party intellectual property rights or other rights.

Subscriber agrees that Subscriber shall ensure that Subscriber’s use of the LinkinLegal Services does not contain code, files or programs that may interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment, including, without limitation, by introducing viruses or similar code into the software contained in the LinkinLegal Services or hosted systems or servers.

LinkinLegal may, upon reasonable advance written notice to Subscriber, audit Subscriber’s use of the LinkinLegal Service. If an audit reveals that Subscriber has used the LinkinLegal Service beyond the scope of this Agreement, or Subscriber have failed to pay any associated subscription fees for such use, then, in addition to any other remedies LinkinLegal may have, Subscriber shall cure such breach within thirty (30) days of written notice from LinkinLegal by paying all applicable subscription fees which were due and payable by Subscriber at the time Subscriber exceeded the scope of Subscriber’s subscription or failed to pay such fees. In the event any such audit reveals that Subscriber has underpaid LinkinLegal by an amount greater than five percent (5%) of the amounts due LinkinLegal in the period being audited, or that Subscriber has knowingly breached any material obligation hereunder, then, Subscriber shall also pay or reimburse LinkinLegal the cost of the audit.

Data Protection Agreement. The terms of the LinkinLegal Data Protection Agreement (“DPA”) are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and will apply to the extent Subscriber Data Includes personal information or personal data, as such terms are defined under applicable privacy or data protection laws (“Personal Information”). To the extent Personal Information from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and Switzerland are processed by LinkinLegal, the Standard Contractual Clauses will apply, as further set forth in the DPA. For the purposes of Subscriber’s acceptance of this Agreement, execution of a Sales Order by Subscriber will be treated as its execution of the Standard Contractual Clauses and related Appendices.

Protection of Subscriber’s Data. LinkinLegal will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Subscriber’s Data (including Subscriber’s Personal Information). LinkinLegal will not access, use or disclose Subscriber’s Data except to provide the LinkinLegal Service and prevent or address service or technical problems, or at Subscriber’s request in connection with customer support matters.

Each Authorized User is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of his or her Logon Credentials and for all activities on the LinkinLegal Service that occur through the use of such Logon Credentials.

Additional Product Terms. If and only if any of the following LinkinLegal Services are listed the applicable Sales Order or any amendment thereto, additional terms and conditions will apply to such specific LinkinLegal Services.

In order to provide LinkinLegalAI, LinkinLegal may rely on AI technology provided by third-party AI providers. By using LinkinLegalAI, Subscriber acknowledges that AI-generated information is made available solely for general information purposes. Subscriber should independently fact check AI-generated information. LinkinLegal does not warrant the accuracy, currency, completeness, or usefulness of AI-generated information. Any reliance Subscriber places on such information is strictly at its own risk. LinkinLegal disclaims all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials.

Partner Implementation and Migration.

Subscriber expressly acknowledges and understands that once Subscriber is provided access to the LinkinLegal Services they can immediately use the full functionality of the core software, website. However, if Subscriber desires to avail itself of custom processes suited to its unique data and workflows, Subscriber must be fully implemented.

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Sales Order, Subscriber acknowledges and understands that LinkinLegal will not perform or provide any implementation services and/or data migration services directly to or on behalf of Subscriber. Such implementation services and/or data migration services must be performed and provided by a third-party LinkinLegal-certified implementation partner (the “Implementation Partner”).

LinkinLegal may provide Subscriber with a referral to such an Implementation Partner, who can perform and provide implementation and/or data migration services to Subscriber. Subscriber’s use of such Implementation Partner, including payment of Implementation Partner’s fees, shall be exclusive of this Agreement, and shall be governed and dictated strictly by the terms of a separate agreement between Implementation Partner and Subscriber. Subscriber expressly acknowledges and understands that LinkinLegal is neither party to, nor responsible for any obligations under such third-party agreement, and hereby disclaims any liability associated therewith, and LinkinLegal makes no warranties or representations, express or implied, regarding the results to be attained by the use of such third-party implementation services and hereby disclaims any such warranties, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. By signing this Agreement, Subscriber represents that it has contracted with an Implementation Partner, or that it will contract with an Implementation Partner within thirty (30) days following the execution of this Agreement and will use its best efforts to be implemented as soon as practicable. Neither Subscriber’s failure to contract with an Implementation Partner or implement the Services as contracted, nor the emergence of any issues pertaining to the quality or length of implementation will cancel, suspend, or terminate Subscriber’s obligation to pay fees under this Agreement for the remainder of the Term.

Term and Termination.

Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in effect for the Term specified in Subscriber’s Sales Order unless terminated sooner in accordance with this Agreement. If the applicable Sales Order is silent as to renewal terms, all subscriptions shall automatically renew for additional one (1) year renewal periods, unless either party provides thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of its intent not to renew prior to the end of the then- current Term. Failure by Subscriber to comply with any terms of this Agreement, including any implementation requirements for any LinkinLegal Services, shall not delay or modify the Term or any of Subscriber’s payment obligations hereunder or under any Sales Order.

Termination. In the event LinkinLegal reasonably suspects that illegal activity is occurring, or reasonably believes that a material security risk has, or will, occur, LinkinLegal reserves the right, without any prior notice and without liability for any resulting consequential damages, in its sole and reasonable discretion, to terminate Subscriber’s access to the LinkinLegal Services. Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the other party if the other party commits a non-remediable breach, or if the other party fails to cure a remediable breach within ninety (90) days after being notified in writing of such breach, unless such breach is non-payment of fees due hereunder, in which case such breach must be cured within ten (10) days after being notified.

Effects of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, all subscriptions granted to Subscriber hereunder shall terminate and Subscriber’s Authorized Users shall immediately cease all use of the LinkinLegal

Service. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 8.1, any early termination of this Agreement does not cancel, suspend or terminate the obligation to pay fees for the remainder of the Term, and all fees paid in advance are non-refundable and Subscriber will not be entitled to a pro rata refund of any portion of such fees. LinkinLegal shall have no obligation to retain any Uploaded Data Files more than thirty (30) days after termination or expiration.

Uploaded Data Files Backup. LinkinLegal shall not be obligated to store any Uploaded Data Files for more than thirty (30) days following the expiration or termination of this Agreement by either party. Within twenty (20) days following the date of termination or expiration, Subscriber shall notify LinkinLegal, in writing, whether it would like the Uploaded Data Files: (i) destroyed; or (ii) returned to Subscriber in a mutually agreed-upon format. Subscriber shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with such return. Upon written request, LinkinLegal will provide to Subscriber a written certification of the deletion/destruction of Uploaded Data Files.

LinkinLegal shall be permitted to retain copies of any Uploaded Data Files for archival, legal and/or regulatory purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, LinkinLegal may also continue to use data or information from Uploaded Data Files as Anonymized Data (as defined in Section 7.2).

Surviving Provisions. Sections 2.5, 3, 6, 8, 9 and 10 of this Subscription Agreement and Sections 5.1 and 5.3 of the Sales Order will survive any termination of this Agreement, together with any payment obligations owed by Subscriber to LinkinLegal for LinkinLegal Service and/or services under any Schedules or Addendums received prior to the effective date of termination.

Confidentiality

During the term of this Agreement, neither party shall (i) disclose to any unaffiliated third party any Confidential Information; or (ii) use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than that indicated in this Agreement without the Disclosing Party’s prior written approval. The Receiving Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party, using the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care), the Receiving Party agrees to notify the Disclosing Party promptly of any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information and to assist the Receiving Party in remedying any such unauthorized disclosure.

The Receiving Party agrees that all persons having access to the Confidential Information under this Agreement will abide by the obligations set forth in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to restrict the parties from disclosing Confidential Information as required by law or court order or other governmental order or request, provided in each case the party requested to make such disclosure shall timely inform the other party and use all reasonable efforts to limit the disclosure and maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information to the extent possible. In addition, the party required to make such disclosure shall permit the other party to attempt to limit such disclosure by appropriate legal means.

Neither party will disclose to the other party any third-party confidential information without first obtaining the written consent of such third party.

All Confidential Information disclosed hereunder shall remain the sole property of the Disclosing Party and the Receiving Party shall have no interest in or rights with respect thereto except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

LinkinLegal may contract with third parties or subcontractors as LinkinLegal deems appropriate to perform its obligations and/or services under this Agreement, including without limitation marketing assistance, e-mail delivery, hosting, back-up and recovery services, customer service, implementation, data migration and data analysis and shall have the right to disclose Subscriber’s Confidential Information to such third party in connection with their performance of services on LinkinLegal’s or Subscriber’s behalf. LinkinLegal will require any third-party service providers or subcontractors maintain the confidentiality of the information disclosed to them and such third parties or contractors are not permitted to use Confidential Information for any purpose other than to provide services to LinkinLegal. LinkinLegal will remain primarily liable to Subscriber for the performance of such subcontractors; provided, however, that this sentence does not apply to any third party with whom Subscriber directly contracts for implementation, migration or other services.

The parties agree that unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information would be a material breach of this Agreement, may cause irreparable harm to Disclosing Party and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief seeking to restrain such use or disclosure without the necessity of posting any bond.

The provisions in this Section 6 shall survive for seven (7) years after termination of this Agreement, except that with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret as defined under applicable law, the receiving party will continue to be bound by its obligations under this Section 6 for so long as such information continues to be eligible for trade secret protection under applicable law, but in no event for a period of less than the seven (7) year period specified immediately above.

Avatars, icons, or any representations of an individual distributed through the use of the LinkinLegal Services are not considered Confidential Information.
