3 Prohibitions and Use Policies.
3.1 Client acknowledges that the VueLab Platform contains trade secrets of VueLab and its licensors, and, in order to protect such trade secrets and other interests that VueLab and its licensors may have in the VueLab Platform, Client may not, and Client agrees not to, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the VueLab Platform.
3.2 In addition, Client may not, and Client agrees not to: (i) sell or sublicense the VueLab Platform; (ii) modify the VueLab Platform; (iii) distribute or copy the VueLab Platform in whole or in part; (iv) use the VueLab Platform in any unlawful manner, for any unlawful purpose, or in any manner inconsistent with this Agreement or VueLab’s applicable documentation that may be provided to Client from time to time; (v) access or use any areas of the VueLab Platform for which VueLab has not granted Client authorization, or tamper or interfere with VueLab’s computer systems or the technical delivery systems of VueLab’s providers; or (vi) encourage, authorize, or enable anyone to do any of the foregoing.

Unless modified by the Service Order, additional Annual License Fees shall be due on each yearly anniversary of the Service Order Start Date for each additional year of the Term. Additionally, unless modified by the Service Order, VueLab will issue Client an invoice at the end of each quarter during the Subscription Period for which any additional fee is due by virtue of Client exceeding the number of Minimum Authorized Users permitted in the applicable Service Order (“Monthly Recurring Fee”), at the list price per user per Month then in effect for VueLab (unless a different price is expressly stated in the applicable Service Order, in which case, the price in the Service Order shall control) during any month that any such Monthly Recurring Fee is due. Upon renewal of a Service Order, Client’s then-current Authorized Users count will become the amount of Minimum Authorized Users in the new Service Order, provided that Client’s then-current Authorized Users count is greater than the expiring Service Order’s Minimum Authorized Users. All fees are payable and due within thirty (30) days after the date of any invoice. For clarity, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 4.2 and any Service Order, the Service Order terms will control.
4.3 Client agrees to pay all fees applicable to Client’s subscription as set forth in the applicable Service Order, or otherwise in accordance with VueLab’s prices that are in effect at the time of Client’s order or the time of subscription renewal. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 4.3 and the Service Order, the Service Order terms will control. All stated fees are exclusive of taxes or duties of any kind. Client will be responsible for, and will promptly pay, all taxes and duties of any kind (including but not limited to sales, use and withholding taxes) associated with this Agreement or Client’s use of the VueLab Platform, except for taxes based on VueLab’s net income. If VueLab is required to collect any tax for which Client is responsible, Client agrees to pay such tax directly to VueLab. All past due amounts will incur interest at a rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less.
5 Term and Termination.
5.1 This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will remain in force and effect until the completion of the Service Order Term Length set forth in the applicable Service Order (the “Initial Subscription Period”). Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms unless one Party provides written notice to the other Party at least thirty (30) days in advance of the expiration of the then-existing Subscription Period that it does not wish to renew this Agreement. The Initial Subscription Period and any subsequent renewal term(s) shall each be referred to as the “Subscription Period.” The pricing and related terms applicable during any renewed Subscription Period will be as set forth in the new Service Order. Either Party may terminate this Agreement (including any Service Order then in effect) if the other Party breaches any material term of this Agreement or Service Order and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written notice thereof. For clarity, failure to pay any undisputed fees under Section 4 for sixty (60) days after invoicing shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement.
5.2 VueLab may suspend Client’s Account (including any individual Authorized User’s Account) and Client’s use of the VueLab Platform as VueLab deems appropriate to prevent, investigate, or otherwise address any suspected misuse of the VueLab Platform or upon Client’s material breach of this Agreement.

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, each Party’s rights and obligations with respect to fees payable hereunder, in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement, and such other provisions that by their nature are intended to survive termination, shall so survive the termination of this Agreement.

Client agrees to provide accurate, current and complete information about the Client Account, which includes all individual Authorized User Accounts.

If Client provides VueLab with any suggestions, comments, or other feedback regarding the VueLab Platform (“Feedback”), Client acknowledges that VueLab will be the sole owner of Feedback and may use (or not use) the Feedback in any manner and for any purpose, without compensation to Client and without implying or creating any interest on Client’s part in any of VueLab’s products or services that may be based on the Feedback. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Feedback shall not include Client Data. Nothing in this Agreement or any Service Order or statement of work shall be construed, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise, as transferring or as obligating any Party to transfer ownership of any intellectual property rights to the other Party; and (ii) each Party reserves all rights in its own intellectual property rights other than the licenses expressly granted herein.

If there is a Security Event, VueLab shall (i) take all reasonable steps to mitigate any potential damages; and (ii) promptly respond to reasonable security-related inquiries from Client and take all reasonable steps to identify, investigate, and resolve applicable security issues on a timely basis commensurate with the level of risk involved.
