Term.
The term of this Agreement (“Term”) begins on the Effective Date, as set forth on the
Schedule, and continues until terminated by the Parties pursuant to the terms herein.
The term of any Schedule hereunder shall be as set forth in such Schedule (the “Schedule Term”). Except as set forth in the applicable Schedule, at the end of the Schedule Term, the Schedule shall automatically renew for the same period as the Schedule Term (each a “Renewal Term”), unless otherwise terminated as provided herein and Supplier’s fees at that time shall govern any Renewal Term. In the event either Party does not wish to renew for a subsequent Schedule Term or Renewal Term, such Party shall provide sixty (60) days written notice to the other Party prior to the expiration of the then current Schedule Term or Renewal Term. - Termination for Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement and/or any Schedule immediately upon notice to the other Party if the other Party: (i) materially breaches the Agreement or the terms of a Schedule, other than with respect to a payment obligation, and fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of the breach from the other Party; (ii) materially breaches a payment obligation under the Agreement or such Schedule and fails to remedy such breach within sixty (60) days after receiving notice of the breach from the other Party; (iii) materially breaches the Agreement or such Schedule in a manner that cannot be remedied; or (iv) voluntarily commences bankruptcy or dissolution proceedings, has a receiver appointed for a substantial part of its assets, or ceases to operate in the ordinary course of business.
- Effect of Termination. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement or any Schedule, as the case may be, for any reason, Customer’s right of access to the Services will immediately terminate. In no event will expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement relieve Customer of any obligation to pay the Fees payable for the period prior to the date of termination, and all Fees will become immediately due and payable if Supplier terminates this Agreement for cause. Supplier agrees that if Customer provides Supplier with written notice at least 30 business days prior to expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, Supplier shall provide an export file of all Customer Data stored on the Harri Platform in reasonably usable digital format. Supplier’s obligation to provide an export file of Customer Data upon expiration or termination is conditioned upon Customer’s payment of all outstanding Fees. Supplier does not warrant that the exported data will be compatible with any third party systems or software.
-
Term.
The term of this Agreement (“Term”) begins on the Effective Date, as set forth on the
Schedule, and continues until terminated by the Parties pursuant to the terms herein.
-
Payment Terms
- Fees. The fees for the Services and the right to access the Software, and any other payments, including set-up fees, are specified in each Schedule (“Fees”). Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, all Fees and other amounts paid or payable under this Agreement are non-refundable. Requests for payments shall be submitted by Supplier to Customer in the form of a written invoice, or as otherwise specified on the Schedule. Customer will send payments for all invoices within thirty (30) days of invoice date, or as otherwise specified on the Schedule. Customer will make payments by electronic funds transfer, or money order. If Customer is paying by credit card, Customer authorizes Supplier to charge monthly Fees in advance to Customer’s credit card without invoice, or as otherwise specified on the Schedule. The fees for any Add-Ons will be specified in a separate Schedule or shall be separately invoiced. Unpaid amounts shall bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) 1.5% of the outstanding balance due per month; or (ii) the maximum rate of interest permissible under applicable law. In addition, in the event Customer does not pay any amounts under this Agreement when due, Supplier may suspend the Services and access to the Software upon seven (7) days’ notice to Customer, and such suspension shall continue until all overdue amounts are paid in full to Supplier. Supplier shall not be liable for any costs, damages, or liabilities incurred by Customer as a result of such suspension.
- Taxes. If applicable, Customer shall pay to Supplier the sales/use tax, VAT, GST, or similar indirect tax relating to the taxable purchases of Services under this Agreement at the appropriate rate. Supplier and Customer shall cooperate to properly calculate any applicable taxes, to minimize such liability to the extent permissible under applicable law, and with respect to any claims for taxes asserted by applicable tax authorities. Taxes payable under this Agreement will be added to the Fees payable by Customer to Supplier, as applicable.
-
Billing for Location Closures; Change of
Control.
- Location Closures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Schedule, Supplier will not invoice Customer for any Services at locations which are closed by Customer, solely if (i) Customer notifies Supplier in writing, at least thirty (30) days prior to the closure, and (ii) as long as Customer provides reasonable evidence of closure (collectively, the “Closure Actions”). Customer must notify its assigned representative at AR@harri.com. Customer will not be credited for any Services and payments of Fees prior to the Closure Actions. Upon Supplier’s receipt of the Closure Actions, and after the location has been closed, the applicable location will be removed from the next invoice. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer will be required to pay the Fees until the actual closure of locations. If the Customer received a special incentive price (volume-based discount) based on the number of locations live or committed to go-live, Supplier has the right to modify the per employee, per month or location-based pricing for remaining locations to account for the change in volume-based pricing resulting from the closure.
- Change of Control. Solely upon Supplier’s prior written consent in accordance with Section 9(b) of this Agreement, Customer may assign this Agreement to the new owner or operator of a location, subject to Fee and payment terms in accordance with this Agreement, until the end of the then-current Term. Supplier will not honor requests to terminate or modify billing terms for sold or transferred locations.

Confidential
Information.
The Parties acknowledge that during the course of this Agreement, each Party (a “Discloser”) may make
confidential data available to the other Party (a “Recipient”) or Recipient may otherwise learn of trade secret
or confidential information of Discloser (collectively, herein “Confidential Data”). Confidential Data includes
all Discloser information not generally known or used by others and that gives, or may give, Discloser an
advantage over its competitors or that could cause Discloser injury, loss of reputation or goodwill if
disclosed. Such information includes, but is not necessarily limited to data or information of Discloser that
identifies or concerns past, current or potential customers, business practices, financial results, research,
development, systems and plans; and/or certain information and material identified by Discloser as
“Confidential”; and/or data received from Discloser and enhanced by Recipient and/or material, non-public
information related to Discloser or Discloser’s businesses. Confidential Data may be written, oral, recorded, or
maintained on other forms of electronic media. Because of the sensitive nature of the information that Recipient
and its employees, subcontractors or agents may become aware of as a result of this Agreement, the intent of the
parties is that these provisions be interpreted as broadly as possible to protect Confidential Data.
- Obligation of Confidentiality. Recipient acknowledges that all Confidential Data furnished by Discloser is considered proprietary and strictly confidential. Recipient also acknowledges that the unauthorized use or disclosure of any Confidential Data will cause irreparable harm to Discloser. Accordingly, Recipient agrees that Discloser shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief (without bond), in addition to all other remedies available at law for any threatened or actual breach of this Agreement or any threatened or actual unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Data.
- Confidentiality Standards. Recipient will employ, at a minimum, the same security measures to protect Confidential Data received from Discloser, or which it becomes aware of about Discloser, that it would employ for its own comparable confidential information (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care in handling Confidential Data).
- Disclosure. Recipient agrees that, should third parties request Recipient or its subcontractors or agents to submit Confidential Data to them pursuant to subpoena, summons, search warrant or other lawful process, Recipient will notify Discloser immediately upon receipt of such request. In no case shall such notice be received by Discloser later than five (5) business days after receipt by Recipient. If Discloser objects to the release of the Confidential Data, Recipient will permit counsel chosen by Discloser to represent Recipient in order to resist release of the Confidential Data. Provided that Recipient is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement, Discloser will indemnify Recipient for all reasonable expenses incurred by Recipient in connection with resisting the release of the Confidential Data.
- Ownership. Recipient agrees that all Confidential Data shall at all times remain the sole property of Discloser and, if in tangible form such as (by way of example and not limitation), in writing or on tape, disk, or other electronic media, such tangible material and all copies shall be returned to Discloser within five (5) business days after termination of this Agreement or any applicable Schedule or upon demand at any other time. No rights or licenses, express or implied, are granted by Discloser to Recipient under any patents, copyrights, trade secrets, or other proprietary rights of Discloser as a result of or related to this Agreement.
-
Exceptions.
The obligations set forth in subsections 1 through 5 above shall not apply to:
- any disclosure specifically authorized in writing by Discloser; or
- Confidential Data that: (i) has become well known in the trade; or (ii) was disclosed to Recipient by a third party not under an obligation of confidentiality to Discloser; or (iii) was independently developed by Recipient not otherwise in violation or breach of this Agreement or any other obligation of Recipient to Discloser; or (iv) was rightfully known to Recipient prior to entering into this Agreement.
- The obligations of each party set forth in Sections (1) through (6) above shall survive the completion or termination of this Agreement and shall remain in effect for five (5) years after completion or termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient’s obligations with respect to any Confidential Data that constitutes a trade secret under applicable law shall survive for so long as such Confidential Data remains a trade secret and information subject to such exceptions that constitutes “personal information” or “personal data” shall be handled pursuant to applicable data protection laws.
-
Indemnification.
- Third Party Claims Against Supplier. Customer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Supplier, the Supplier Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Supplier Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all third party claims, losses, damages, suits, fees, judgments, costs and expenses (collectively, “Third Party Claims”), including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in responding to such Third Party Claims, that the Supplier Indemnified Party may suffer or incur arising out of or in connection with: (i) Customer’s breach of any privacy, confidentiality, or data security obligation under this Agreement; (ii) a claim of intellectual property infringement based on Customer’s misuse of the Software, or unapproved combination of the Software with other proprietary technology which gives rise to such claim; (iii) any personal injury (including death) or damage to property resulting from Customer’s acts or omissions; and (iv) Customer’s violation or alleged violation of any applicable federal, state, local, or foreign law, rule, regulation, or ordinance, including but not limited to those relating to data protection, employment, labor, civil rights, or the use of artificial intelligence or automated decision-making systems, in connection with Customer’s use of the Software, Services, or any outputs thereof.

- Indemnification Procedure. If any Third Party Claim is commenced with respect to which either the Customer Indemnified Party or the Supplier Indemnified Party (the Indemnified Party”), as the case may be, is entitled to indemnification under this Section, the Indemnified Party will provide notice thereof to other party (the “Indemnifying Party”). The Indemnifying Party will be entitled, if it so elects in a notice promptly delivered to the Indemnified Party, to immediately take control of the defense, settlement, and investigation of any Third Party Claim and to employ and engage attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost. The Indemnified Party will cooperate in all reasonable respects, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and request, in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom. The Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to a Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent. The Indemnified Party may also, at its own cost, participate through its attorneys or otherwise in such investigation, trial and defense of any Third Party Claim and related appeals. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume full control over the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided in this Section, the Indemnified Party will have the right to defend the Third Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party
