If you are required to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions or withholdings, we receive an amount equal to the sum we would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
CONFIDENTIAL AND PERSONAL INFORMATION AND SECURITY
1. Confidential Information. VRIFY and you may exchange“Confidential Information” in the course of your negotiation and use of our Client Services. VRIFY’s Confidential Information may include non-public information about our pricing, personnel, or partnerships, our product roadmap, our security documentation, or other non-public information we identify as confidential. Your Confidential Information may include non-public information about the Project Site, your policies (such as your policies for internal review or approval of Client Content), personnel (including names and email addresses of your Authorized Users), or plans or strategies. When either you or we (the “recipient”) receive Confidential Information from the other (the “discloser”), the recipient will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care) and will not disclose or use any Confidential Information of the discloser for any purpose outside of the scope of this Agreement. Information will not be considered Confidential Information if (i) it was lawfully in the recipient's possession before receiving it from the discloser; (ii) it is provided in good faith to the recipient by a third party without breaching any rights of the discloser or any other party; (iii) it is or becomes generally available to, or accessible by, the public through no fault of the recipient; or (iv) it was or is independently developed by the recipient without reference to the discloser’s Confidential Information. In the event that the recipient or any representative of the recipient becomes legally compelled (by law, rule, regulation, subpoena, or similar court process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the recipient will (if permitted to do so) provide the discloser with notice of such circumstances and will limit such disclosure to the required disclosure. Notwithstanding the forgoing, VRIFY may disclose any such Confidential Information to its Representatives who: (i) need to know the Confidential Information to assist VRIFY, or act on its behalf, in exercising its rights or performing its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) are informed by VRIFY of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information; and (iii) are subject to confidentiality duties or obligations to VRIFY that are no less restrictive than the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2. Personal Information. The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any disclosure of Personal Information by the Client to VRIFY. If the Client does disclose any Personal Information to VRIFY, then the Client is the owner and controller of such Personal Information and VRIFY is a data processor acting on behalf of the Client. VRIFY will immediately report to the Client any requests received from individuals for access to or correction of their Personal Information. When such Personal Information is no longer required for the provision of Services, VRIFY will delete such Personal Information at the request of the Client (provided however that VRIFY may retain such Personal Information for as long as it is required to do so under applicable laws). The Client warrants that all Personal Information disclosed to VRIFY has been collected and disclosed in accordance with all applicable privacy laws.
3. Security Requirements. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to implement technical and organizational security measures consistent with the prevailing industry standards including SOC 2. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat any such measures, and we expressly deny any responsibility for damages, monetary or otherwise, resulting from our failure to implement such measures or from unauthorized third-party access to your account or use, alteration, or disclosure of the Client Content or the Client Information.
RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
1. Restrictive Covenants. During the Term and for a period of three years thereafter, you will not directly or indirectly: (a) hire or engage any of our Representatives (other than subcontractors), or solicit or encourage any of them to terminate any employment or contract with us; or (b) provide any information concerning such persons to any recruiter or prospective employer, in each case without our prior written permission.
2. Reasonableness. You agree that: (a) all restrictions contained in Section 8.1 (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”) are reasonable and valid in the circumstances and you hereby waive all defences to the strict enforcement thereof; (ii) each of the restrictions forming part of the Restrictive Covenants are separate and distinct covenants, severable one from the other and if any such covenant or covenants are determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will attach only to the covenant or covenants as so determined and all other such covenants will continue in full force and effect; and (iii) monetary damages for any breach the Restrictive Covenants would be inadequate for the immediate and irreparable harm that would be suffered by us for any such breach, and so, on any application to a court, we will be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief against you without the necessity of proving the party’s actual, monetary damage.
TERM AND TERMINATION
1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement will commence on the first day of the initial term set forth on your first Authorization Form, and will continue in effect until the earlier of: (a) the expiration of all Authorization Forms applicable to you (including any renewal periods unless notice of non-renewal is provided as set out in Section 9.2); and (b) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms (the “Term”).
2. Term of Authorization Forms. The term of each Authorization Form will start on the first day of the initial term specified on the Authorization Form and will continue for the specified term. Except as expressly stated otherwise in an Authorization Form, all Authorization Forms will automatically renew for subsequent one-year renewal periods unless a party gives the other party written notice of non-renewal at least 60 days prior to the end of the then-current term. Upon the conclusion of the initial 12 months of the Term, you may terminate an Authorization Form by giving us 30 days written notice provided you provide us with any amounts due to us under this Agreement. You may terminate an Authorization Form during the initial 12 months of the Term by giving us 30 days written notice provided you provide us, as consideration for the right to terminate, any amounts due under this Agreement and all Subscription Fees that would otherwise, if not for such termination, become due and payable during the initial 12 months of the Term (the “Termination Fee”). The Parties intend the Termination Fee to be liquidated damages constituting compensation, and not a penalty.
3. Termination for Cause. A Party may immediately terminate this Agreement (a) immediately if the other party has failed to cure a material breach within 30 days of receiving written notice of that material breach from the other party; or (b) immediately if the other Party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation, or assignment for the benefit of creditors. VRIFY may immediately terminate this Agreement if you or any of your directors or officers are formally accused of conduct which, in our good faith determination, materially harms our reputation or would harm our reputation by our continued association with you.
4. Suspension. Without prior notice to you we may suspend your access to the Platform and/or disable or erase your Client Content and Client Information from the Platform if you fail to pay any fees when due, or for a violation by you of our Acceptable Use Policy, our Copyright & IP Infringement Policy, our Privacy Policy or for any other material breach of this Agreement.

INDEMNIFICATION AND THIRD PARTY INFRINGEMENTS
1. Indemnification by VRIFY. Subject to your compliance with Section 11.3, VRIFY will defend, hold harmless and indemnify you, your Affiliates and your Representatives from and against any and all third-party claims, losses, damages, penalties, liability, and costs, (or agreed settlement amounts in lieu thereof) including legal fees, of any kind or nature which are in connection with or arising out the infringement of a third party’s patent or patents, copyrights, trademarks or any other intellectual property right or trade secrets arising out of or incident to the Platform as permitted hereunder. For clarity, VRIFY’s limitation of liability shall not apply to any infringement of a third party’s intellectual property rights.
  We are not liable for any Claim to the extent it arises from:
  1. a modification of the Platform by or at your direction or the direction of an Authorized User;
  2. use of the Platform in violation of this Agreement, (including our Acceptable Use Policy, our Copyright & IP Infringement Policy, and our Privacy Policy) or applicable law;
  3. use of the Platform after we notify you to discontinue use because of an infringement or misappropriation claim;
  4. the combination, operation, or use of the Platform with any other software, program, or device not provided or specified by us to the extent such infringement would not have arisen but for such combination, operation, or use;
  5. your use of the Platform in a manner that is inconsistent with its intended use; or
  6. any Client Content, third party content or Press Releases, accessed through the Platform. For clarity, we are not liable for any Claim to the extent it arises from your failure to verify data.
  If the Platform has become, or in our opinion is likely to become, the subject of any such Claim, we may at our option (i) procure for you the right to continue using the Platform as set forth hereunder; (ii) replace or modify the Platform or certain functionalities to make it non-infringing; or (iii) terminate this Agreement.
2. Indemnification by Client. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our Affiliates, and our respective Representatives from and against all claims, losses, damages, penalties, liability, and costs, (or agreed settlement amounts in lieu thereof) including reasonable legal fees, of any kind or nature which are in connection with or arising out of a claim:
  1. alleging that the Client Content, any Client Information or your use of the Platform infringes or violates the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, rights under securities laws or regulations or other rights of a third party or violates any applicable law or regulation (including but not limited to applicable securities laws and regulations);
  2. relating to, or arising from:
    1. Client Content or Client Information, including but not limited to your failure to verify data;
    2. any VRIFY Connect sessions;
    3. any Post-Production Edits;
    4. any visit by us or our Representatives to the Project Site; or
    5. our use of photographs, videos and recordings of the Project Site or your failure to obtain the required waiver, indemnity and release forms all as contemplated by Section 3.3; or
    6. your breach of your obligations, representations, or warranties in this Agreement.
3. Indemnification Procedure. The indemnified party will (a) give written notice of the claim to the indemnifying party promptly and in any event no later than ten days after the indemnified party receives the claim; (b) give the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (provided that the indemnifying party may not settle or defend any Claim without the indemnified party’s prior written consent unless it unconditionally releases the indemnified party of all liability); and (c) provide the indemnifying party with reasonable cooperation and assistance at the indemnifying party’s expense.
4. Third Party Infringers.
  1. As exclusive licensee of the Client Audio/Visual Materials, VRIFY shall have the right but not the obligation, at its own cost to enforce claims against third parties who are or who may be infringing Client’s intellectual property rights in and to the Client Audio/Visual Materials (each, a “Third Party IP Prosecution”). Client agrees to be joined as a party plaintiff at VRIFY’s option, in which case Client will be permitted to actively participate in the prosecution of any such suit, at VRIFY’s expense. The total cost of any such legal proceeding commenced or defended by VRIFY shall be borne by VRIFY. Any recovery, damages or other payment in connection with any such infringement shall first be used to reimburse VRIFY for reasonable expenses in connection therewith. The balance of the remaining such payment shall be split between Client and VRIFY equally.
  2. If, within three months after having been notified of any alleged infringement giving rise to a Third Party IP Prosecution, VRIFY has not brought an action against the alleged infringer, then Client has the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute at its own expense such Third Party IP Prosecution. In such case, Client shall be entitled to keep any recovery, damages or other payment derived from any such suit, less the expenses thereof, if any, paid by VRIFY. In the event that a declaratory judgment action alleging invalidity of any of the Client Audio/Visual Materials is sought by any person, either Party may, at its option, intervene in such action, all at the expense of such intervening Party.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
1. Limitation of Liability.
  1. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, IN NO EVENT WILL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BY STATUTE, CONTRACT, TORT, OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, EXCEED THE PROJECT FEES AND PLATFORM FEES PAID BY YOU DURING THE THREE MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH THE CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE
  2. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL VRIFY, CLIENT OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL USE, OR DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE PLATFORM OR ANY OTHER ASPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL VRIFY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS, OR INJURY RESULTING FROM HACKING, TAMPERING, OR OTHER UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR USE OF THE PLATFORM OR CLIENT’S ACCOUNT OR THE INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN.
  3. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS ARTICLE 12 IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND LIMIT THEIR POTENTIAL LIABILITY, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER IF VRIFY WERE TO ASSUME ANY FURTHER LIABILITY OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH HEREIN. THE PARTIES HAVE RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THESE TERMS. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO EXCLUDE OR RESTRICT OR WILL BE CONSTRUED AS EXCLUDING OR RESTRICTING THE LIABILITY OF VRIFY FOR (I) DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF VRIFY OR OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES; (II) WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF EITHER PARTY; OR (III) ANY LIABILITY WHICH CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
GENERAL
1. Feedback. You may from time to time provide suggestions, comments, or other feedback to us with respect to the Platform (“Feedback”). Feedback, even if designated as confidential by you, will not create any confidentiality obligation for us.

Within two days after posting, we will notify you of any such changes to this Agreement by email at the address you have provided to us. The updated Agreement will be effective on the fifth business day after posting, or on such later date as may be specified in the updated Agreement, and your continued use of the Client Services after any such changes are effective will constitute your consent to such changes.

10. Remedies. Unless otherwise stated, each Party’s remedies under this Agreement are not exclusive of any other remedies under this Agreement, at law or otherwise.
11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution.
  1. The laws of the Province of British Columbia and Canadian law applicable in British Columbia will govern any dispute, cause of action or claim arising out of this Agreement or your use of our Client Services (“Dispute”), without giving effect to conflict-of-law principles.
  2. If you breach this Agreement or violate our rights or another person’s rights, in addition to any other remedy, we may ask a court for an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and you will reimburse us for our reasonable legal fees associated therewith.
  3. If you have any kind of Dispute with us, the exclusive means of resolving it will be by confidential, binding arbitration before a single arbitrator chosen by you and VRIFY. You will give notice of your Dispute to us in writing. If we do not decide together on an arbitrator within 15 days after we receive that notice, we both agree to ask the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre (BCICAC) to appoint one for us. The arbitration will take place in Vancouver, British Columbia, under the Arbitration Act (British Columbia), and will follow the Domestic Commercial Arbitration Rules of the BCICAC. The arbitrator will have the right to decide how the costs should be divided between us. The arbitrator will have the right to accept whatever kind of evidence they think is appropriate and will have the right to make whatever award they consider fair and equitable, based on legal and equitable principles, including giving an order such as an injunction (to stop one of us from doing something) or an order that you or we pay damages to the other. The arbitrator’s award can be entered into the registry of the British Columbia Supreme Court in Vancouver, British Columbia, and enforced in the same way as a court order if the court in the enforcing jurisdiction allows.
  4. Any Dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. VRIFY and you each waive any right to a trial by jury
12. Export Compliance. You will not use or access our Client Services if you are located in any jurisdiction in which the provision of our Client Services is prohibited under Canadian, U.S. or other applicable laws (a “Prohibited Jurisdiction”) and you will not provide access to our Client Services to any government, entity or individual located in any Prohibited Jurisdiction.

Any prior understandings, statements or and agreements (oral or written) do not apply, including additional terms that you may present (such as terms in a unilateral notice from you to us or printed on a purchase order or any other document generated by you). This Agreement is binding on the parties and their permitted successors and assigns. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the body of this Agreement and any Authorization Form, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the terms of the Authorization Form shall prevail.
