The Parties further agree that the Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information (i) to establish the Receiving Party’s rights or enforce obligations under this EULA, but only to the extent that any such disclosure is reasonably required; (ii) to any potential transferee or assignee as contemplated in Section 13.10 (Assignments); and (iii) in connection with acquisition or investment activity, provided that Receiving Party agrees that any such third party recipient is treated as if such third party recipient was a Representative of the Receiving Party.
Receiving Party agrees to maintain, and will cause any Representatives to maintain, the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, and to protect as a trade secret any portion of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret, by maintaining at least the same procedures regarding Confidential Information that Receiving Party maintains with respect to its own Confidential Information, but in no case less than commercially reasonable efforts, to prevent any unauthorized copying, use, distribution, disclosure, installation, or transfer of possession of such Confidential Information.
In the event Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request to disclose any Confidential Information under the terms of a valid and effective subpoena or order (including oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, civil investigative demand or similar process, or otherwise) issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, administrative agency or is otherwise legally compelled (collectively, the “Order”), unless otherwise prohibited in such Order, the Receiving Party agrees to: (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such a request; (b) cooperate with Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, to secure confidential treatment of the Confidential Information or to otherwise take legally available steps to resist or narrow such request; and (c) if disclosure of such Confidential Information is required, disclose to the person compelling disclosure only that portion of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that is legally required.
Confidential Information is and will remain the exclusive property of Disclosing Party. Each Party agrees that it will have no proprietary interest in the other Party’s Confidential Information and that nothing contained in this EULA will be construed to grant either Party any rights, by license or otherwise, to any of the other Party’s Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to the EULA.
You agree that nothing in this Section 7 will be interpreted to prohibit Genomenon, its employees or agents from using or employing with any other Genomenon customer or for the benefit of any such Genomenon customer, the skills, know-how, and expertise gained in delivering the Licensed Materials or otherwise performing any services hereunder, and from using, disclosing, or employing any generalized ideas, concepts, know-how, methods, techniques, or skills gained or learned during the course of any of the services performed hereunder, subject to Genomenon’s, its employees’ and agents’ obligations respecting your Confidential Information.
Each party hereto represents and warrants to the other party that: (a) it is duly organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of any jurisdiction where the ownership of its assets or the conduct of its business require such party to be so qualified, or if such party is not so qualified, the failure to so qualify will not have an adverse effect on the ability of such party to perform its obligations under this EULA or the ability of the other party to enforce this EULA; (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this EULA and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this EULA have been duly authorized by the requisite action on the part of such party, and this EULA constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such party enforceable against it in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof; (c) the execution and delivery of this EULA will not conflict with or violate any other license, instrument, contract, agreement, or other commitment or arrangement to which such party is a party or by which such party is bound; and (d) it will, at its own expense, comply with all laws, regulations and other legal requirements that apply to it with respect to this EULA and the use of the Licensed Materials.

Genomenon’s Licensed Materials and services may be subject to limitations, delays, and other problems inherent in the use of the Internet and electronic communications and Genomenon is not responsible and will have no liability for any delays, delivery failures, or other damage resulting from such problems. In particular, you hereby acknowledge that security safeguards, by their nature, are capable of circumvention and Genomenon does not and cannot guarantee that Your Input, Results, or other information cannot be accessed by unauthorized persons capable of overcoming such safeguards or that the environment will be free of computer viruses, time bombs, malware, worms, trojans, or other undesirable data or software. You are solely responsible for the security and integrity of your information and systems.

You also acknowledge and agree that Content and Results are not intended to be medical advice or instructions for medical diagnosis, treatment, or care of persons or animals, and no physician-patient relationship is, or is intended to be, created by Content provided through the Application or in connection with any services delivered under this EULA. The Content is not a substitute for professional medical advice, examination, diagnosis, or treatment and should not be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease without supervision of a doctor or qualified healthcare provider.

The accuracy and completeness of Content is not guaranteed and neither Genomenon nor any of its third party licensors or Content providers will have any responsibility or liability for errors, delays, interruptions, omissions, or malfunctions with respect to Content or its delivery, regardless of the cause or source thereof. Genomenon assumes no responsibility for unintended, objectionable, inaccurate, misleading or unlawful third party Content made available through its Application. Content providers may require separate Content licenses directly with you, and Genomenon may restrict access to any such third party Content until the Content provider notifies Genomenon that you may access such third party Content. Genomenon is not responsible or liable in any way for any third party Content or any representations or statements made by a Content provider about its third party Content and its intended use, including, without limitation, any statements that contradict this paragraph, and you agree that in no event will Genomenon be liable to you, your agents, or affiliates, in connection with any third party Content, materials, or practices of any third party.
Genomenon is not responsible for any liability or damages arising from you uploading Your Input, opting-in for community features, or sharing results in violation of any agreement, law, policy, or any third party agreement or rights and you are solely liable and responsible for such actions.
You acknowledge and agree that Genomenon has set its prices and entered into this EULA in reliance upon the disclaimers of warranty and the limitations of liability set forth herein, that the same reflect an allocation of risk between the parties (including the risk that a contract remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties.
Except with respect to a breach of Section 7 (Confidentiality), your breach of Section 4.1 (General Restrictions) or your obligations under Section 11.1 (Indemnification), to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, in no event will either party hereto or its suppliers be liable to the other for loss of profits, revenue or data, or for any special, consequential, incidental, punitive or indirect damages of any nature, for any reason, including without limitation the breach of this EULA or any termination of this EULA, whether such liability is asserted on the basis of contract, tort (including negligence or strict liability) or otherwise, even if the party has been warned of the possibility of such damages, and notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy.
Except with respect to a breach of Section 7 (Confidentiality), your breach of Section 4.1 (General Restrictions), your obligations under Section 11.1 (Indemnification) or with respect to any fees due to Genomenon hereunder, each party’s entire liability to the other party concerning performance or nonperformance by either party or in any way related to the subject matter of this EULA, and regardless of whether a claim is based in contract, negligence or in tort, will not exceed the total value of the fees paid under this EULA during the term, but not including any renewal term.
You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Genomenon, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and suppliers (collectively, “Genomenon Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, government investigations, costs, reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred, settlements, judgments, penalties, fines and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”), to the extent resulting in any way from or arising out of (a) damage caused by or sustained in connection with Your Input or your use of the Application or Excluded Claims (as defined in Section 11.2); (b) negligence, any act or omission, or a material breach by you or in connection with your performance or failure to perform any obligations under this EULA; or (c) any breach of any representation or warranty made by you hereunder. Further, you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Genomenon Indemnitees from and against any and all third party Claims alleging that Your Input, or the use of any part thereof by any Genomenon Indemnitee, infringes, misappropriates, or violates any rights (including without limitation any intellectual property rights) of a third party.
If you have paid for a license to access the Application, then Genomenon will defend or settle, and hold harmless the Entity, its directors, officers, employees, and agents (“Entity Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Claims to the extent based on any claim, suit or proceeding brought by a third party against Entity Indemnitees alleging that the Licensed Materials and applicable Documentation for which you have paid Genomenon a fee, directly infringes a U.S. patent, copyright, or other intellectual property right. If such claim occurs, or in Genomenon’s sole opinion is likely to occur, Genomenon may, at its option and expense, (a) procure for the Entity the right to continue using the infringing item(s); or (b) replace or modify such items so that it becomes non-infringing; or (c) cease providing the Licensed Materials and refund to Entity all paid and unused amounts on a pro-rata basis for any unused term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Genomenon will have no liability for any claim to the extent arising from or relating to (i) the combination, operation, or use of the Licensed Materials with equipment, devices, or software not supplied by Genomenon; or (ii) any alteration or modification of or any illegal use of the Licensed Materials or use of the Licensed Materials in violation of this EULA (“Excluded Claims”). THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE OBLIGATION OF Genomenon AND ITS SUPPLIERS WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS set forth in this Section 11.2, INCLUDING INFRINGEMENT OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS.
As a condition of the indemnifying party’s (“Indemnifying Party”) obligation to defend and pay hereunder, the party seeking indemnification (“Indemnified Party”) agrees to (a) give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any such claim, provided that failure to provide such notice will not diminish the Indemnifying Party’s indemnity and payment obligations hereunder except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure; (b) provide all available information, assistance and authority for the Indemnifying Party to take any such action as it deems necessary to investigate, avoid, dispute, defend, settle, appeal, or make counterclaims pertaining to any such indemnifiable claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party; and (c) reasonably cooperate (at the Indemnifying Party’s expense) with the Indemnifying Party in the investigation, defense or settlement of any such indemnifiable claim. Any settlement by the Indemnifying Party requiring the Indemnified Party to make any admission of liability will be subject to the Indemnified Party’s written approval in its sole discretion. The Indemnified Party will have the right to participate in the defense of any indemnifiable claim with counsel selected by it, at its expense, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The Parties agree to reasonably cooperate with any insurance carrier providing coverage for any indemnifiable claim hereunder.
This EULA commences when you first accept the terms herein and access the Application or any component of the Licensed Materials, and continues until terminated by either party in accordance with the terms herein (“Term”).
In addition to the termination rights described in Section 3.1.2 (Basic License) and Section 3.1.3 (API License), Genomenon may terminate this EULA for convenience at any time upon 30-days advance written notice to you, provided that Genomenon refunds the prorated portion of any fees paid in advance.
Either party hereto, upon giving written notice to the other party, may terminate this EULA upon the occurrence of any of the following:
If either party materially breaches this EULA and fails to cure such breach within 30 days after receiving written notice from the other party that sufficiently details the allegations of such breach, the party that first provided notice may terminate this EULA by providing written notice thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may terminate this EULA immediately upon written notice to the other party if the other party materially breaches the EULA and such breach is incapable of cure and the cure period for any breach relating to the failure to pay any undisputed fees owed hereunder will be 15 days from when Genomenon delivers notice of a delinquent payment.
In the event that: (i) the other party’s assets are seized or attached in conjunction with any action against it by a third party; (ii) such party has taken any action for the purpose of entering into winding-up, dissolution, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceedings analogous in purpose or effect thereto, including making a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (iii) such party becomes insolvent or admitted in writing to its inability to pay its debts as they mature; or (iv) such party ceases operations for any reason. The termination will be effective immediately upon written notice to such other party.
In the event that the other party transferred or otherwise assigned this EULA except as permitted in accordance with Section 13.10 (Assignment). The termination will be effective immediately upon written notice to such other party.
In addition to Genomenon’s other rights of termination hereunder, Genomenon may immediately terminate this EULA in the event Genomenon determines in its sole discretion that a breach by you poses a serious and imminent threat to the health or safety of any person or the imminent loss, damage, or destruction of any real or tangible personal property or to the security of the Application. The termination will be effective on the date set forth in such notice letter.
Upon termination, you must cease all use of Licensed Materials (excluding any Genomenon Background Materials included in Results) and must destroy all copies of the Licensed Materials (excluding any Genomenon Background Materials included in Results) in your possession or control. Further, upon expiration or earlier termination of this EULA, upon written request from a party, the other party will promptly return to such party or, at such other party’s request, destroy, any tangible and intangible Confidential Information of such party in the possession or under the reasonable control of the returning party, including all copies and portions thereof, provided that each party may retain such Confidential Information to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with applicable business recordkeeping and compliance purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree and understand that nothing in this Section 12.4 will require Genomenon to return or destroy your Confidential Information that may be contained or stored in Genomenon’s electronic archival or backup files until such files are destroyed in accordance with Genomenon’s normal business practices and policies.
The provisions set forth in Sections 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.4, 12.5 and 13 will survive the termination or expiration of this EULA until any obligations arising prior to such termination or expiration have been satisfied in accordance with the applicable terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision that, in order to give proper effect to its intent, should survive such expiration or termination, will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
You agree to comply with all export and re-export restrictions and regulations of the Department of Commerce or other agency or authority of the United States or other applicable countries, and not to transfer, or authorize the transfer of, the Licensed Materials, to a prohibited country or otherwise in violation of any such restrictions or regulations. You will obtain any and all import licenses necessary or proper for the import and use of the Licensed Materials, as relevant.
Any components of the License Materials that constitute software or services delivered hereunder and any related documentation qualify as “commercial items,” as that term is defined at Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) (48 C.F.R.) 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in FAR 12.212. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, all U.S. Government end users acquire access to the Licensed Materials with only those rights set forth in this EULA. Access to all components of the Licensed Materials is provided to any unit or agency of the U.S. Government (“Government”) on a “restricted rights” basis only: use, duplication or disclosure by the Government is subject to the restrictions set forth in this EULA, pursuant to DFARS 227.7202- 3(a) and 252.227-7013(c), or its equivalent and pursuant to subparagraph (c)(1) of the Commercial Computer Software - Restricted Rights clause at FAR 52.227-19, as well as to FAR 12.212(b), or their equivalents. The licensor of the Licensed Materials is Genomenon, who reserves and retains all rights in Licensed Materials not granted to the Government in this EULA pursuant to DFARS 252.227-7013(c), to FAR 12.212(b), or their equivalents.
The party substantially prevailing in any dispute under this EULA will be entitled to its costs and legal fees.
Each party agrees that certain breaches of this EULA by the other party may result in irreparable harm to the other party, the extent of which would be difficult or impracticable to assess and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for such breach. Accordingly, the other party will be entitled to seek immediate equitable and other provisional relief, including a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction, a permanent injunction, or any of the foregoing as a remedy for such breach in addition to any other remedies available to a party at law or in equity and without prejudice to any other such remedies, without having to post a bond or other security (if permitted), and without having to prove the inadequacy of other available remedies.
The relationship between the parties will be that of independent contractors. Nothing contained herein will be construed to imply a partnership, joint venture, principal-agent relationship or other joint relationship, and neither party will have the right, power or authority to bind or create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party
Each party will comply with such party’s exercise of its rights and performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
Nothing express or implied in this Agreement is intended to confer, nor will anything herein confer, upon any person other than Genomenon, You, or their respective successors or permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities whatsoever.
Neither this Agreement nor the nature of the services provided hereunder to You will preclude Genomenon from offering the services of any nature to any other entity or individual.
If any provision of this agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the parties will exercise commercially reasonable efforts and negotiate in good faith to substitute for such provision a legal, valid and enforceable provision which obtains, to the fullest extent reasonably practicable, the same result as the provision declared illegal, invalid or unenforceable. The provisions hereof are severable, and, if the parties are unable to agree upon a substitute provision after attempting to do so as required under the preceding sentence, then the provision of this Agreement that is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable will be severed from this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
Neither party may assign or transfer its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, which will not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned, or withheld, provided, however, that either party may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to (a) a parent or subsidiary of an affiliate; (b) a purchaser of all or substantially all assets related to this Agreement; or (c) a third party participating in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets or other corporate reorganization of a party. All transfers of rights or duties herein in violation of this Section will be void and unenforceable as a matter of law. This Agreement is binding on, will inure to the benefit of, and is enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Any required notices hereunder will be given in writing by certified mail or overnight express delivery service (such as FedEx. UPS., etc.) at the address of each party set forth in the Sales Order, or to such other address as either party may from time to time substitute by written notice. Notice will be deemed served when delivered or, if delivery is not accomplished by reason or some fault of the addressee, when tendered.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of which together are deemed to be one and the same agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email, or other means of electronic transmission is deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
Genomenon may use Your name, logos, marks, and other relevant information specific to You and the Genomenon in press releases, promotional materials, case studies, or lists, provided that Genomenon will obtain Your prior written consent for any such use and will include protective legends necessary to protect the Your rights in and to its trademarks, service marks, or copyrighted materials.
The provisions and conditions of this Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict of law provisions. The Parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts residing in Michigan for the resolution of any and all disputes arising under this Agreement. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Sale of Goods will not apply to this Agreement.
The Agreement, together with the attached addenda, and any exhibits that become effective hereunder and that reference this Agreement, set forth the complete agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to such subject matter.
No modification, waiver or amendment of any provision of this Agreement will be binding upon the Parties unless mutually agreed upon in writing, expressly referencing this Agreement and the specific provision to be modified or waived, and signed by a duly authorized representative of the respective Party. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary therein, no terms or conditions stated in Your purchase order, acknowledgement or conformation or other document issued by You, even if signed and returned by Genomenon, will take precedence over the terms of this Agreement. The failure of either Party to enforce any rights granted hereunder or to take action against the other Party in the event of any breach hereunder will not be deemed a waiver by that Party as to subsequent enforcement of rights or subsequent actions in the event of future breaches.
If You (as an entity entering into this Agreement) are a U.S. public and accredited educational institution or an agency, instrumentality, or department of a federal, state or local government (“Governmental Entity”) within the United States, then: (a) if You are subject to a specific prohibition in applicable state law from agreeing to any part of this Agreement, then the obligations of your Governmental Entity with regard to such part will be deemed limited to the extent such specific prohibition is applicable; and (b) any litigation or other dispute resolution between You and Genomenon arising out of or relating to this Agreement will take place in federal court within the Eastern District of Michigan (“District”), and You hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of and exclusive venue of such District unless such consent is expressly prohibited by the laws of the state in which your Governmental Entity is domiciled. In the event of such prohibition, the parties agree to remain silent on jurisdiction and venue. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to relieve You of your obligation to remain legally and financially responsible for the acts and omissions of your Government Entity and/or your employees to the extent permitted by applicable law.
