As between Augmedix and Customer, the Services, Augmedix Applications, Notebuilder Platform, Usage Data, Documentation and any associated software, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein or relating thereto, and any improvements, enhancements or modifications to any of the foregoing, are and shall remain the exclusive property of Augmedix or its licensors as applicable.

3.2       Customer Data and Materials. Customer, or its licensors, shall retain all right, title and interest to the Customer Data and Customer Materials, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein and thereto.

4.              CONFIDENTIALITY

4.1           Definition. By virtue of this Agreement, the Parties may have access to each other’s Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means any and all technical, business, client or proprietary information disclosed by one Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”), directly or indirectly, including, but not limited to, information regarding the Disclosing Party’s business strategies and practices, nonpublic financial information, pricing, methodologies, trade secrets, know-how, technology, software, product plans, services, relationships with any third party, client lists and information regarding the Disclosing Party’s employees, clients, vendors, consultants and Affiliates regardless of whether such information is marked “confidential” or some other proprietary designation, but which by its nature is information that would reasonably be considered to be confidential information of the Disclosing Party. Augmedix Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the Services, the Augmedix Applications, Notebuilder Platform and any associated software whether in source or executable code, the Documentation, and the results of any performance tests of the Services, including, without limitation, the Augmedix Application, Notebuilder Platform and any associated software. Customer Data is the Confidential Information of Customer. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed the Confidential Information of both Parties, and neither Party shall disclose such information except to such Party’s advisors, accountants, attorneys, investors (and prospective investors), and prospective acquirers as have a reasonable need to know such information, provided that any such third parties shall, before they may access such information, either (a) execute a binding agreement to keep such information confidential or (b) be subject to a professional obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information. If the Receiving Party questions whether any information is regarded as confidential by the Disclosing Party or others, the Receiving Party agrees to treat the information as Confidential Information until and unless the Disclosing Party confirms in writing that it is not confidential.

4.2           Exclusions. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known through no act or omission of the receiving Party; (b) was in the receiving Party’s lawful possession prior to the disclosure; (c) is rightfully disclosed to the receiving Party by a third party without restriction on disclosure; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving Party, which independent development can be shown by written evidence.

4.3           Use and Nondisclosure. Neither Party shall make the other’s Confidential Information available to any third party or use the other’s Confidential Information for any purposes other than exercising its rights and performing its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that the other’s Confidential Information is not disclosed or distributed by its employees or agents in violation of the terms of this Agreement, but in no event will either Party use less effort to protect the Confidential Information of the other Party than it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of like importance. Each Party will ensure that any agents or subcontractors that are permitted to access any of the other’s Confidential Information are legally bound to comply with obligations of confidentiality no less stringent than those set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information may be disclosed as required by any governmental agency, provided that before disclosing such information, the Disclosing Party must provide the non-disclosing Party with sufficient advance notice of the agency’s request for the information to enable the non-disclosing Party to exercise any rights it may have to challenge or limit the agency’s authority to receive such Confidential Information.

4.4       Injunctive Relief. Each Party acknowledges the irreparable harm that improper disclosure of Confidential Information may cause; therefore, the injured Party is entitled to seek equitable relief, including temporary restraining orders, or preliminary or permanent injunctions, in addition to all other remedies, for any violation or threatened violation of this Section 4.

4.5       Security Program. Augmedix shall maintain, and operate in accordance with, a written information security program appropriate for the Services and protection of Customer’s Customer Data. Augmedix will maintain administrative, physical and technical safeguards consistent with applicable industry standards designed to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of Customer Data.

5.         HIPAA COMPLIANCE

5.1       Patient Confidentiality. In addition to the general confidentiality provisions in Section 4, the Parties acknowledge their responsibility with respect to Protected Health Information (as defined by HIPAA) disclosed by Customer to Augmedix, or created by Augmedix on behalf of Customer, pursuant to a Service Order. The Parties agree to enter into and comply with the applicable Business Associate Agreement with respect to such Protected Health Information.

5.2       Protected Health Information. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 4, Customer hereby grants to Augmedix an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license to (a) use Customer’s Protected Health Information to create de-identified data; and (b) use Protected Health Information provided by Customer to perform Data Aggregation services relating to the health care operations of Customer. The de-identified data is, and shall remain, the exclusive property of Augmedix, and Augmedix may use such data without restrictions, including for research, analytics and modeling purposes.

6.              FEES; EXPENSES; TAXES

6.1           Fees. In consideration for providing the Services, Customer shall pay to Augmedix the Fees for its Subscription and any other associated professional services in accordance with the terms set forth in the applicable Service Order.

6.2           Expenses.

6.3           Invoices; Payment; Late Payment. Augmedix shall invoice Customer for Fees, Expenses and applicable Taxes (as defined below) in the manner described in the applicable Service Order.

If Augmedix has not received payment within five (5) days after the due date, interest shall accrue on past due amounts at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, but in no event greater than the highest rate of interest allowed by law, calculated from the date such amount was due until the date that payment is received by Augmedix. Further, if any charge owing by Customer is thirty (30) days or more overdue, Augmedix may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend Services until such amounts are paid in full, provided that Augmedix has given Customer at least seven (7) days’ notice that its account is overdue. Customer shall reimburse Augmedix for the reasonable costs of collection, including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys.

6.4           Automatic Payment. Customer agrees to establish payment through an automated clearing house (ACH) system and authorizes Augmedix to electronically debit entries from an account established by Customer to satisfy the payment obligations hereunder.  Customer acknowledges and agrees that Implementation Fees and the first month of Subscription Fees may be debited automatically via ACH within fourteen (14) days of execution of this Service Order and recurring Subscription Fees may be debited automatically via ACH on the applicable due date.  If Customer does not pay via ACH, Customer shall pay a processing fee in the amount of one and half percent (1.5%) of the transaction for any payments made by check or credit card.

6.5           Auto-renewal.  Customer agrees that its Subscription will automatically renew on an annual or monthly basis depending on Customer’s Subscription (the “Renewal Date”).  Customer authorizes Augmedix to automatically charge Customer for the applicable Fees for any renewal period, unless the Subscription has been terminated or cancelled in accordance with this Agreement or the applicable Service Order. If Customer wishes to remove Authorized Users from its Subscription or cancel its Subscription, it must do so at least thirty (30) days prior to the Renewal Date.  If Customer chooses to cancel its Subscription during the Subscription Term, Customer may use the Service until the end of Customer’s applicable Subscription Term or portion thereof (as applicable), but will not be issued a refund for the applicable Fees for the remaining Subscription Term.

6.6           Taxes. All amounts and Fees stated or referred to in this Agreement are exclusive of taxes, duties, levies, tariffs, and other governmental charges (including, without limitation, VAT) (collectively, “Taxes”). Except for taxes based upon Augmedix’s income or for goods or services used or consumed by Augmedix in connection with providing the Services under this Agreement, Customer shall be responsible for payment of all Taxes and any related interest and/or penalties resulting from any payments made hereunder, unless Customer provides Augmedix with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

Augmedix may destroy or otherwise dispose of any Customer Data in its possession, except as prohibited by any applicable law, unless Augmedix receives, no later than ten (10) days after the effective date of the expiration or termination of this Agreement or Service Order, a written request for the delivery to Customer of the then-most recent backup of the Customer Data. Augmedix will use all reasonable efforts to deliver the backup to Customer within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such a written request.

Customer agrees that Augmedix may, upon notice to Customer, suspend or terminate access to all or part of the Services in the event that Augmedix reasonably determines that Customer or its Authorized Users have violated the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

8.4           Disclaimer. Customer assumes sole responsibility and liability for any conclusions drawn from the use of the Services.

8.5           SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN SECTION 8.4 MAY NOT APPLY.

9.              INDEMNIFICATION

9.1           Indemnification by Customer. Customer will, at its expense, indemnify, defend and hold Augmedix and its officers, directors and employees harmless from any and all claims, suits, actions, proceedings brought by a third party against Augmedix and any liabilities, losses, damages and expenses resulting therefrom, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from: (a) gross negligence or willful misconduct of Customer or any of its employees, agents, or subcontractors in connection with the Services; (b) Customer or any Authorized User has used the Services in a manner that violates the terms of this Agreement; or (c) an Indemnity Exclusion (as defined below).

In the event that Augmedix’s right to provide the Services is enjoined or in Augmedix’s reasonable opinion is likely to be enjoined, Augmedix may obtain the right to continue providing the Services, replace or modify the Services so that they become non-infringing, or, if such remedies are not reasonably available, terminate this Agreement without penalty to Customer. THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE OBLIGATION OF AUGMEDIX AND ITS LICENSORS WITH RESPECT TO ANY ALLEGED OR ACTUAL INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY THE SERVICES.

A Party’s obligation to indemnify the other Party will only arise if the indemnified Party: (a) promptly notifies the indemnifying Party in writing of the claim; (b) grants the indemnifying Party sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim; and (c) provides the indemnifying Party, at the indemnifying Party’s expense, with all assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the claim.

The indemnified Party reserves the right to retain counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense to participate in the defense and settlement of such claim without affecting any of the indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations set forth herein.

9.4       Exclusions. This Section 9 will not apply to the extent the underlying Claim arises from (a) the indemnified Party’s (a) breach of the Agreement, or (b) negligence or a more culpable act or omission, including recklessness or willful misconduct.

10.           LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR ACTION, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OR THEORY OF THE CLAIM OR ACTION.

FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10 SHALL NOT APPLY TO, OR IN ANY WAY LIMIT, THE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY FOR CLAIMS ARISING FROM GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR CLAIMS FOR WHICH LIABILITY MAY NOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the non-performing Party will be excused from any further performance of its obligations effected by the Force Majeure Event for so long as the event continues and such Party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance. A Party affected by a Force Majeure Event must notify the other party, and such other party may terminate the Agreement or applicable Service Order if the affected party is unable to recommence performance within thirty (30) days of the start of the Force Majeure Event.

12.9        Assignment/Successors. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the other Party’s written consent except in the event of a Change of Control (as defined below).
