The confidentiality obligations hereunder shall survive for a period of five (5) years following the termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason; provided, however, that the obligations with respect to trade secrets shall survive for as long as the applicable Confidential Information constitutes a trade secret under applicable law.

Such retained information shall continue to be subject to the foregoing obligations, for as long as such information is in Receiving Party’s possession or control. Confidential Information may be disclosed as part of, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company shares and/or assets or acquisition and provided that any recipients are subject to reasonable confidentiality undertakings no less stringent than those set out herein.

1. Yonalink Indemnification Obligations. Yonalink shall defend, indemnify and hold Customer harmless from and against any and all damages, costs, losses, liabilities or expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ legal fees) which Customer may suffer or incur in connection with any actual claim, demand, action or other proceeding by any third party against Customer arising from any claims that the Solution infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party. Yonalink shall not have any liability to the extent any claim is the result of (a) Yonalink’s compliance with specifications provided by Customer, (b) the combination of the Solution with other hardware, software or services not provided by Yonalink, (c) the collection, use or transfer of Clinical Data in compliance with this Agreement, or (d) Customer’s actions, omissions or breach of this Agreement.

Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Yonalink and its respective employees, representatives and agents, from and against any third party claims and proceedings, and related loss, damage, liability and expense (including reasonable legal costs), arising out of or resulting from (a) the willful, reckless, or negligent acts or omissions, or professional malpractice of Customer or any of its trustees, officers, agents or employees; (b) the infringement by Customer of a third party’s privacy rights relating to the data provided in connection with this Agreement, including for lack of Informed Consent under medical laws and regulations.  

3. Procedure. The obligations of either party to provide indemnification under this Agreement will be contingent upon the indemnified party (i) providing the indemnifying party with prompt written notice of any claim for which indemnification is sought, (ii) reasonably cooperating with the indemnifying party (at the indemnifying party’s expense), and (iii) allowing the indemnifying party to control the defense and settlement of such claim, provided that no settlement may be entered into without the consent of the indemnified party if such settlement would require any action on the part of the indemnified party other than to cease using any allegedly infringing or illegal content or services. Subject to the foregoing, an indemnified party will at all times have the option to participate in any matter or litigation through counsel of its own election at its own expense.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent provided by applicable law, in no event shall Yonalink (or its directors, officers, affiliates, agents or employees) have any liability for any matters related to a clinical trial conducted by the Customer, including without limitation any matters related to trial subject injuries or death. In no event shall the parties (or their directors, officers, affiliates, agents or employees) have any liability for any consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages, arising out of or relating to this Agreement to the other party. To the maximum extent provided by applicable law, the entire liability of either party (or its directors, officers, affiliates, agents or employees) hereunder shall not exceed the total Fees due by Customer hereunder in the 3 months prior to the claim. The foregoing limitations and exclusions of liability do not apply to the liability of each party pursuant to the indemnification obligations set forth herein.

11. Term

The term of this Agreement shall commence upon the date listed in the Order Form and shall continue in effect for a period of 12 months (the “Initial Term”), unless specified otherwise in the Order Form.

Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon 30 days’ prior written notice, unless specified otherwise in the Order Form. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason Yonalink will be entitled to a prorated amount representing the Services actually provided, unless the Customer has selected a prepayment plan embodying a discount, in which case any Fees paid will be non-refundable. Except as otherwise set forth herein, each party may also terminate this Agreement: (a) immediately in case of breach by the other party by written notice to the breaching party, provided such breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days of being notified thereof; or (b) in the event the other party: (i) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (ii) applies for, consents to, or acquiesces to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, or liquidator for its business or assets, or (iii) files, consents to, or acquiesces in a petition seeking relief or reorganization under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws.

3. Entire Agreement; Modification, Amendment, Waiver; Severability. The Agreement and its exhibits constitute the entire and sole agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understanding, agreements, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter. No party shall be deemed to have waived compliance by any other party with any provision of the Agreement unless such waiver is in writing, and the failure of any party at any time to enforce any of the provisions of the Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such or any other provision and shall not affect the rights of any party thereafter to enforce such provisions in accordance with their terms. No waiver of any breach of any provision of the Agreement shall be deemed the waiver of any subsequent breach thereof or of any other provision of the Agreement. In the event that any provision of the Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable in any circumstances by a court of competent jurisdiction, such section shall be interpreted to give maximum effect to its terms as possible under law, and the remainder of the Agreement, and the application of such provision in any other circumstances, shall not be affected thereby.
