Customers who violate this requirement are solely responsible for any consequences or liability.
• (ii) Provider does not guarantee the functionality of any third-party applications. There will be no refunds by Provider should an app not function to Customer's satisfaction.

Each separate application is counted individually. Customer will be notified when resources have been added to maintain stability after addition of Users, Applications or other Services that Provider had authorization to add. Customer will be notified of the additional costs and given an opportunity to approve or decline, after which the resources will be removed. However, if the Customer declines, Provider's standard SLA (Service Level Agreement) for technical issues cannot be honored, as the actions Provider deemed fit to resolve issues have been reversed.

Provider is not responsible for the loss of hours in connectivity for the Customer or the Customers' Customers during scheduled maintenance, and a reasonable effort will be made by Provider to schedule all maintenance during off-peak, or weekend hours in order to minimize the impact to our Customers.

(b) Unscheduled Maintenance. The Provider's maintenance protocols may change from time to time and the Provider will keep the most updated protocol on the Provider's website. If there are any conflicts or inconsistencies between the maintenance protocols on the website and the protocols herein, the website's descriptions shall be controlling. In the event of unforeseen outages, service impacting issues, and other emergency maintenance that Provider deems necessary, unscheduled maintenance may need to be performed in order to restore services, or repair underlying hardware and software. Provider will make every reasonable effort to limit the amount of time that the Customer's services are unavailable, up to the time allowed for by our Service Level Agreement, and proper updates and notifications will be provided as deemed necessary by Provider. After any such unscheduled maintenance is performed, Provider will provide a Post Incident Report to the affected Customers that will give a brief summary of the cause and the resolution of the unscheduled maintenance.

(c) Backup. Provider will schedule and monitor automated backup jobs of the Hosted Environment as described in Exhibit C or as otherwise provided for in the applicable Order Document. Available successfully completed recovery points will be retained on a rolling basis for sixty (60) calendar days for VeritSpace Essentials and Pro and ninety (90) calendar days for VeritSpace Elite, unless the applicable Order Document expressly states otherwise. Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore Customer Data from an available recovery point following data loss, corruption, or a Customer request. Restoration required because of a failure within Provider's managed environment is included in the Services. Restoration requested because of Customer or Authorized User action may be billable only after Provider discloses the applicable charge and an Authorized Contact approves it. Backups are intended for operational recovery and are not an archival or legal records-retention service. Provider does not warrant that every individual file, transaction, version, or recovery point will be recoverable in every circumstance. Customer remains responsible for legal and business retention requirements extending beyond the purchased retention period. Without limiting the foregoing, Provider shall not be liable for any loss of data caused by, or resulting from, (i) acts or omissions of Customer or any Authorized User, (ii) any third-party software, hardware, system, or service not provided by Provider, or (iii) any cause outside of Provider's reasonable control.

11. Refund Policy; Trials

(a) Standard Refund Conditions. Customer may submit a cancellation or refund request through the authenticated customer portal or by email to Provider's designated billing address. Provider will return an approved refund to the original payment method within fifteen (15) business days.

(b) Thirty-Day Money-Back Guarantee. A first-time Customer may cancel its initial paid subscription within thirty (30) calendar days after the paid service start date and receive a refund of recurring Verito subscription fees paid for that initial period. The guarantee does not cover setup or onboarding fees, professional services, hardware, third-party licenses, taxes, usage charges, or pass-through expenses identified in the applicable Order Document. The guarantee is available once per Customer and does not apply to renewals, additional users, service expansions, or separately quoted projects. After the thirty-day guarantee, annual subscription fees are non-refundable except when Customer terminates because of Provider's uncured material breach or Provider terminates without cause.

(c) Free Trials. An eligible first-time Customer may receive a fifteen (15) calendar-day VeritSpace trial beginning when Provider first makes trial access available. No payment card is required, and the trial will not automatically convert into a paid subscription. Continued paid service requires Customer to authorize payment and is subject to the applicable commercial terms, which may be set forth in an Order Document.

If such a claim is made or appears possible, Customer agrees to permit Provider, at Provider's sole discretion, to (A) modify or replace the Services, or component or part thereof, to make it non-infringing, or (B) obtain the right for Customer to continue use. If Provider determines that neither alternative is reasonably available, Provider may terminate this Agreement, in its entirety or with respect to the affected component or part, effective immediately on written notice to Customer.

16. Term

The initial term of this Agreement unless terminated earlier pursuant to this Agreement's express provisions, will continue in effect until the agreed upon end date, or if not provided, until there is a proper request for termination of services and the completion of the termination process by both Parties.

This Agreement will automatically renew unless an end date is provided or this agreement is terminated pursuant to this Agreement's express provisions or either Party gives the other Party written notice of non-renewal at least thirty days prior to the expiration of the then-current term.

17. Termination

(a) Termination. In addition to any other express termination right set forth in this Agreement:

(i) Non-payment. Provider may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to Customer, if Customer fails to pay any amount when due and does not cure that failure within seven (7) days after Provider's written notice of nonpayment.

(ii) Material breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to the other Party, if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement and the breach is (A) incapable of cure; or (B) capable of cure but remains uncured thirty (30) days after the non-breaching Party provides written notice describing the breach.

(b) Effect of Expiration or Termination. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Customer shall immediately discontinue use of the Provider IP and, without limiting Customer's obligations under Section 4, shall delete, destroy, or return all copies of the Provider IP and certify in writing to the Provider that the Provider IP has been deleted or destroyed. No expiration or termination will affect Customer's obligation to pay all Fees that may have become due before such expiration or termination.

(c) Suspension. In addition to Provider's suspension rights under Section 3(j), Provider may suspend Customer's access to the Services or to information or data related to Customer's account as permitted under this Agreement. During any suspension, Fees continue to accrue and Customer remains responsible for their payment. Suspension does not shorten any data-retrieval period under Section 18.

(d) Consequences of Termination on Third Parties. If Customer's or Customer's clients use of the Services is paid for by or through a third party, Customer or Customer's clients understand and agree that the third party has the right to have Customer or Customer's clients account suspended or terminated at any time for any reason and that their failure to pay for services that Customer or Customer's clients use could result in termination or suspension of Customer or Customer's clients access to the services and/or Customer or Customer's clients hosted data.

(e) Early Termination for Convenience.

(i) By Customer. Customer may terminate this Agreement or an applicable SOW for convenience upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice; provided that such termination does not relieve Customer of its obligation to pay all Fees for the remainder of the then-current subscription term specified in the applicable Order Documents, and prepaid Fees are non-refundable except as expressly provided in Section 11 (Refund Policy; Trials).

(ii) By Provider. Provider may terminate this Agreement and/or terminate the provision of Services to Customer upon thirty (30) days written notice, in which case Provider will refund to Customer, on a pro-rata basis, any prepaid Fees for Services not yet rendered as of the effective date of termination.

This Section 17(e) does not limit either Party's termination rights for cause under Section 17(a) or the non-renewal right under Section 16.

(f) Survival. This Section and Sections 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, and 20 survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

18. Right to Data After Termination of Contract

After thirty days from date of termination, Provider has the right to permanently remove all Customer data from Provider's active production systems, including live and archived data for Customer, and all live and archived data for Customer's Customers, subject to Provider's backup-retention cycles, disaster recovery procedures, archival practices, legal retention requirements, and residual copies retained in the ordinary course of business. Provider will not be responsible for any losses of data after thirty days from Customer termination date. It is the Customer's responsibility to request or perform a backup or retrieval of all personal data and Customer Data on Provider's active production systems within this thirty day period. Customer has right to request backup or retrieval of personal and Customer data for a period of thirty days from date of termination. Provider's standard release of a file containing Customer Data available from active production systems will generally be provided without a separate data-release fee; however, Provider may charge reasonable fees for special, unique, non-standard, or unusually burdensome requests, including custom formatting, conversion, restoration, migration assistance, third-party software support, or other services outside Provider's standard data release process. Provider will send courtesy reminders regarding data retrieval or deletion; however, failure to send or receive any reminder does not extend the retrieval period, limit Provider's deletion rights, or create liability for Provider.

Upon Termination Date Customer will not be allowed access to Provider infrastructure, including Provider's servers, backup systems, disaster recovery systems, administrative tools, or proprietary systems, and Customer Data in active production systems will be retained for no longer than thirty days from date of termination, subject to Provider's backup-retention cycles, disaster recovery procedures, archival practices, legal retention requirements, and residual copies retained in the ordinary course of business.

CUSTOMER AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PROVIDER IS NOT OBLIGATED TO RETAIN ANY CUSTOMER DATA IN ACTIVE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS FOR LONGER THAN THIRTY (30) CALENDAR DAYS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF TERMINATION, UNLESS EXPLICITLY AGREED OTHERWISE IN THE APPLICABLE ORDER DOCUMENT. THE THIRTY (30) CALENDAR-DAY PERIOD INCLUDES WEEKENDS, HOLIDAYS, AND DAYS PROVIDER IS CLOSED, AND IS MEASURED AS THIRTY (30) CONSECUTIVE CALENDAR DAYS FROM THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF TERMINATION. AFTER THE THIRTY (30) DAY PERIOD EXPIRES, PROVIDER MAY DELETE CUSTOMER DATA FROM THE ACTIVE SERVER. IF CUSTOMER REQUESTS CONFIRMATION OF DELETION, PROVIDER MAY CONFIRM DELETION FROM THE ACTIVE SERVER ONLY, AND ANY SUCH CONFIRMATION WILL NOT APPLY TO BACKUPS, DISASTER RECOVERY SYSTEMS, ARCHIVES, LOGS, LEGAL-RETENTION SYSTEMS, OR RESIDUAL COPIES.
