If Customer does not take required action in accordance with the above, BP Logix may disable the applicable Content, Service and/or Non-BP Logix Application until the potential violation is resolved. If requested by BP Logix, Customer shall confirm such deletion and discontinuance of use in writing and BP Logix shall be authorized to provide a copy of such confirmation to any such third party claimant or governmental authority, as applicable. In addition, if BP Logix is required by any third party rights holder to remove Content or receives information that Content provided to Customer may violate applicable law or third-party rights, BP Logix may discontinue Customer’s access to Content through the Services.
4. NON-BP LOGIX PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
4.1 Non-BP Logix Products and Services. Any acquisition by Customer of Non-BP Logix Applications, and any exchange of data between Customer and any non-BP Logix provider, product or service is solely between Customer and the applicable non-BP Logix provider. BP Logix does not warrant or support Non-BP Logix Applications or other non-BP Logix products or services, whether or not they are designated by BP Logix as “certified” or otherwise, unless expressly provided otherwise in an Order Form. BP Logix is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of Customer Data resulting from access by such Non-BP Logix Application or its provider.
4.2 Integration with Non-BP Logix Applications. The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with Non-BP Logix Applications. BP Logix cannot guarantee the continued availability of such Service features, and may cease providing them without entitling Customer to any refund, credit, or other compensation, if for example and without limitation, the provider of a Non-BP Logix Application ceases to make the Non-BP Logix Application available for interoperation with the corresponding Service features in a manner acceptable to BP Logix.
5. FEES AND PAYMENT
5.1 Fees. Customer will pay all fees specified in Order Forms. Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order Form, (i) fees are based on Services and Content subscriptions purchased and not actual usage, (ii) payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, and (iii) quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term.
5.2 Invoicing and Payment. Fees will be invoiced in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, fees are due net 30 days from the invoice date. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to BP Logix and notifying BP Logix of any changes to such information.
5.3 Overdue Charges. If any invoiced amount is not received by BP Logix by the due date, then without limiting BP Logix’s rights or remedies, those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, provided that BP Logix has given Customer at least 10 days’ prior email notice that its account is overdue.
5.4 Suspension of Service. If any charge owing by Customer is 30 days or more overdue, BP Logix may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend Services until such amounts are paid in full, provided that, other than for customers paying by credit card or direct debit and whose payment has been declined, BP Logix given Customer at least 10 days’ prior notice that its account is overdue in accordance with the “Notices” section below.
5.5 Payment Disputes. BP Logix will not exercise its rights under the “Overdue Charges” or “Suspension of Service” section above if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
5.6 Taxes. BP Logix's fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. If BP Logix has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, BP Logix will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides BP Logix with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, BP Logix is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.
6. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
6.1 Reservation of Rights. Subject to the limited rights expressly granted hereunder, BP Logix, its Affiliates, its licensors and Content providers reserve all of their right, title and interest in and to the Services, Content and Deliverables, including all of their related intellectual property rights. No rights are granted to Customer hereunder other than as expressly set forth herein.
6.2 Access to and Use of Content. Customer has the right to access and use applicable Content subject to the terms of applicable Order Forms, this Agreement and the Documentation.
6.3 License by Customer to BP Logix. Customer grants BP Logix, its Affiliates and applicable contractors a worldwide, limited-term license to host, copy, use, transmit, and display any program code created by or for Customer using a Service or for use by Customer with the Services, Customer Data, and Non-BP Logix Applications, each as necessary for BP Logix to provide and ensure proper operation and improvement of, the Services and associated systems in accordance with this Agreement. If Customer chooses to use a Non-BP Logix Application with a Service, Customer grants BP Logix permission to allow the Non-BP Logix Application and its provider to access Customer Data as required for the interoperation of that Non-BP Logix Application with the Service. Subject to the limited licenses granted herein, BP Logix acquires no right, title or interest from Customer or its licensors under this Agreement in or to any Customer Data, Non-BP Logix Application or such program code.
6.4 License by Customer to Use Feedback.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY
7.1 Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of Customer includes Customer Data; Confidential Information of BP Logix includes the Services and Content; and Confidential Information of each party includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Order Forms (including pricing), as well as business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party
prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-disclosure obligations set forth in this “Confidentiality” section apply to Confidential Information exchanged between the parties in connection with the evaluation of additional BP Logix services.
7.2 Protection of Confidential Information. As between the parties, each party retains all ownership rights in and to its Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this “Confidentiality” section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BP Logix may disclose the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Order Form to a subcontractor or Non-BP Logix Application Provider to the extent necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein.
7.3 Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
8. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND DISCLAIMERS
8.1 Representations. Each party represents that it has validly entered into this Agreement and has the legal power to do so.
8.2 BP Logix Warranties.

8.2.2 BP Logix warrants to Customer that it will perform all Implementation Services in a professional and workmanlike manner substantially in accordance with the applicable Statement of Work, if any, and BP Logix’s personnel will have sufficient skill, knowledge and training to perform the Implementation Services. Unless otherwise stated in a Statement of Work or Order Form, Customer’s only remedies for BP Logix’s breach of this provision will be BP Logix’s re-performance of applicable Implementation Services that fail to comply with this warranty at no additional charge.
8.3 Disclaimers. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AND EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. CONTENT AND BETA
SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND AS AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVE OF ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER. The Services and Documentation are not designed or intended for use or resale in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, air traffic control, or direct life support machines, in which the failure of the Services and Documentation could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage (“High Risk Activities”). Accordingly, BP Logix specifically disclaims any express or implied warranty of fitness for High Risk Activities.
9. MUTUAL INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Indemnification by BP Logix. BP Logix will defend Customer against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against Customer by a third party alleging that any Service infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights (a “Claim Against Customer”), and will indemnify Customer from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Customer as a result of, or for amounts paid by Customer under a settlement approved by BP Logix in writing of, a Claim Against Customer, provided Customer (a) promptly gives BP Logix written notice of the Claim Against Customer, (b) gives BP Logix sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim against Customer (except that BP Logix may not settle any Claim Against Customer unless it unconditionally releases Customer of all liability), and (c) gives BP Logix all reasonable assistance, at BP Logix’s expense.

The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply if (1) the allegation does not state with specificity that the Services are the basis of the Claim Against Customer; (2) a Claim Against Customer arises from the use or combination of the Services or any part thereof with software, hardware, data, or processes not provided by BP Logix, if the Services or use thereof would not infringe without such combination; (3) a Claim Against Customer arises from Services under an Order Form for which there is no charge; or (4) a Claim Against Customer arises from Content, a Non-BP Logix Application or Customer’s breach of this Agreement, the Documentation or applicable Order Forms.

Customer’s use of the Services or Content in an unlawful manner or in violation of the Agreement, the Documentation, or Order Form (each a “Claim Against BP Logix”), and will indemnify BP Logix from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against BP Logix as a result of, or for any amounts paid by BP Logix under a settlement approved by Customer in writing of, a Claim Against BP Logix, provided BP Logix (a) promptly gives Customer written notice of the Claim Against BP Logix, (b) gives Customer sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against BP Logix (except that Customer may not settle any Claim Against BP Logix unless it unconditionally releases BP Logix of all liability), and (c) gives Customer all reasonable assistance, at Customer’s expense.

Support Policy
This Support Policy describes BP Logix’s standard support for the Services.
Customers may report any error with the Services (“Error”) directly via the BP Logix Support Portal at https://support.bplogix.net (or using such other mechanism as may reasonably be made available by BP Logix).
Each Error will be categorized with a Severity Level as described in the table below and will be assigned the appropriate level of resources consistent with its impact. Customer will ensure that appropriate technical and business support Customer personnel are available (after business hours, if necessary) to work with BP Logix to resolve the Error. BP Logix will clarify the Error and communicate action plans to Customer within a timeframe appropriate to the Severity Level of the pending Error.
“Response Time” means the period of time which elapses between Customer reporting an Error and BP Logix communicating an initial response to Customer. BP Logix will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the Response Times set forth in the table below.
