Each indemnifying Party (“Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Party (“Indemnified Party”) and the Indemnified Party’s officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, the cost of enforcing any right to indemnification hereunder and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers, that are incurred by an Indemnitee, arising out of or resulting from any claim, suit, action, or proceeding (each, an “Action”) alleging: (a) Indemnifying Party’s breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation of Indemnifying Party under this Agreement; (b) any gross negligence by Indemnifying Party in connection with providing the Platform under this Agreement; or (c) that any Service excluding Customer Materials and Third-Party Materials (when DentalBee is the Indemnifying Party) or Client Materials (when Customer is the Indemnifying Party), as delivered and used in accordance with this Agreement: (i) infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property Rights or other rights of any third party; and (ii) violates any applicable Law.

11.2 Indemnification Procedure. Indemnified Party will promptly notify Indemnifying Party in writing of any Action for which it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 11.1 and cooperate with Indemnifying Party at Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense. Indemnifying Party shall immediately take control of the defense and investigation of such Action and shall employ counsel of its own choosing to handle and defend the same, at Indemnify Party’s sole cost and expense. Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Action in a manner that adversely affects the rights of the Indemnified Party without Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Indemnified Party’s failure to perform any obligations under this Section 11.2 will not relieve Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 11 except to the extent that Indemnifying Party can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Indemnified Party may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing.

12. Limitations of Liability.

12.1 EXCLUSION OF INDIRECT DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS ASSERTING OR BASED ON THE USE, INTERRUPTION, DELAY, OR INABILITY TO USE THE WEBSITE OR PLATFORM, LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS, DELAYS, INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF PLATFORM ACCESS, BUSINESS, OR GOODWILL, LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, LOSS RESULTING FROM SYSTEM OR SYSTEM SERVICE FAILURE, MALFUNCTION, SHUTDOWN, SYSTEM INCOMPATIBILITY, OR PROVISION OF INCORRECT COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION, FAILURE TO ACCURATELY TRANSFER, READ, OR TRANSMIT INFORMATION, FAILURE TO UPDATE OR PROVIDE CORRECT INFORMATION, OR BREACHES IN SYSTEM SECURITY, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR ENHANCED DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW.

12.2 CAP ON MONETARY LIABILITY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN SECTION 12.3, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED TWO TIMES THE AGGREGATE AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE TO DENTALBEE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT IN THE 12-MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CAUSE OF ACTION.

12.3 Exceptions. The exclusions and limitations in Sections 12.1 and 12.2 shall not apply to a Party’s obligations under Section 8, 11, a breach of an applicable business associate agreement, or a Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach. These exceptions shall be subject to a limit of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, there shall be no limit to damages based on intellectual property infringement.

13.1 Term. Unless stated otherwise in an applicable Order Form, the term of this Agreement commences as of the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to any of the Agreement’s express provisions, will continue in effect for one year (the “Initial Term”) and shall automatically renew for successive 1-year terms (the “Renewal Term”, and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”).

13.2 Termination for Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to the other Party, if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement, and such breach: (i) is incapable of cure; or (ii) being capable of cure, remains uncured 15 days after the non-breaching Party provides the breaching Party with written notice of such breach.

14. Miscellaneous.

14.2 Relationship of the Parties. The relationship between the Parties is that of independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture, or other form of joint enterprise, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the Parties, and neither Party shall have authority to contract for or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever.

14.3 Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable or responsible to the other Party, or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake or explosion, war, terrorism, pandemics, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, embargoes, or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement, national or regional emergency, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns, or other industrial disturbances, passage of Law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo, export or import restriction, quota or other restriction or prohibition, or any complete or partial government shutdown, or national or regional shortage of adequate power or telecommunications or transportation facilities (each of the foregoing, a “Force Majeure Event”), in each case, provided that (i) such event is outside the reasonable control of the affected Party; (ii) the affected Party provides prompt notice to the other Party, stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue; and (iii) the affected Party uses diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and minimize the effects of such Force Majeure Event. Client may terminate this Agreement if a Force Majeure Event affecting DentalBee continues substantially uninterrupted for a period of 30 days or more.

14.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the exhibits and DentalBee’s data privacy, terms of use and data security policies, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to such subject matter. If there is an inconsistency between any of the provisions in the main body of this Agreement and any exhibit or policy, the provisions in the main body of this Agreement shall prevail.

14.6 Assignment. Neither Party shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer any of its obligations or performance, under this Agreement, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise, without the other Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except pursuant to (a) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Party, or (b) any merger, or other business combination by which the Party is acquired by or acquires another entity with the result that the Party is not the surviving entity of the merger or other business combination; provided however that in the event of sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a Party or such business combination, the acquiring or surviving entity shall likewise be prohibited from further assignment as provided in this Section 14.6. No delegation or other transfer will relieve either Party of any of its obligations or performance under this Agreement. Any purported assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section 14.6 is void. This Agreement is binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

14.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Agreement.

14.8 Amendment and Modification; Waiver. No amendment to or modification of or rescission, termination, or discharge of this Agreement is effective unless it is in writing and signed by each Party. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.

14.9 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to affect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

14.10 Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Section 8 or, in the case of Customer, Section 3.1, would cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.

14.11 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would require or permit the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the licenses granted hereunder shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Delaware, and each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action, or proceeding. Service of process, summons, notice, or other document by mail to such Party’s address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any suit, action, or other proceeding brought in any such court.

14.12 Waiver of Jury Trial; Attorney Fees. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If any action, suit, or other legal or administrative proceeding is instituted or commenced by either Party hereto against the other Party arising out of or related to this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs from the non-prevailing Party.
