3.5              NonpaymentIf CLI has not received payment of any invoice by the applicable due date, CLI may suspend or terminate access to the Platform until payment has been received. The Client shall remain responsible for all charges related to the Services in accordance with this Agreement.  Any fee not paid when due will accrue interest at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower.  Client agrees to pay all collection costs incurred by CLI in enforcing its rights under this Agreement to collect amounts payable by the Company (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees).  The remedies provided by this Section are not exclusive. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, if Client fails to pay any amount when due hereunder, CLI may suspend the Platform under this Agreement until all outstanding past due amounts are received by CLI. However, access to existing patient healthcare records will remain available for a limited time to prevent interruptions in patient care.

3.6              Renewal Pricing Terms.  The prices for the Initial Term are as set forth in the Sales Order.  For all subsequent Renewal Periods the renewal prices shall remain the same unless changed  by CLI and stated in a notice delivered by CLI to Client not less than one hundred (100) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term.

3.7              Invoice DisputesClient must notify CLI in writing of any invoice dispute within ten (10) days of the date of the applicable invoice for such charges.  Billing disputes shall be defined as disputes in good faith, with reference to specific provisions of this Agreement, and with supporting factual documentation.  If Client does not notify CLI within that time period, Client is deemed to have waived any right to dispute such amounts, either directly or as a set-off, recoupment or defense in any action or efforts to collect amounts due to CLI.

3.8              Taxes.  Unless expressly provided otherwise, the fees on any Sales Order or other pricing schedule are exclusive of any sales, use, excise, value added, goods and services, and gross receipts taxes, and any and all similar taxes or legally imposed fees, duties or contributions (“Taxes”) based upon such amounts and this Agreement, except CLI’s franchise taxes, if any, or taxes based upon its net income.  If applicable, Taxes and shipping costs will be added to the invoice which the Client is required to pay. If the Client is exempt from paying sales tax, then the sales tax amount will be credited to the Client’s account upon receipt of the sales tax exception certificate.

SECTION 5: TERM AND TERMINATION.

5.1              Term.  The initial term of this Agreement shall be 24 months after the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”).   Thereafter this Agreement will automatically renew for consecutive two-year renewal periods (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least ninety (90) days prior to expiration of the then-current term (the Initial Term and any Renewal Terms are collectively referred to as the “Term”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Term may recommence or be extended if provided in any Sales Order or Schedule.

5.2              Termination.

5.2.1        For Insolvency.  In the event that either party (a) voluntarily or involuntarily becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or of any proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation, or composition for the benefit of creditors that is not dismissed or discharged within 60 days after being commenced, (b) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due (or takes any corporate action tantamount to such admission), (c) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (d) ceases to do business as a going concern, then the other party will be entitled to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice thereof to the first party.

5.2.2        For Breach.   In the event that either party shall be in material breach or default of any of the terms, representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations contained in this Agreement, and such material breach or default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after the giving of written notice to the party in default (other than a payment default for which no cure period is allowed), then in addition to all other rights and remedies of law or equity or otherwise, the non-breaching party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice. Following a breach of this Agreement by Client, if CLI does not elect to terminate the Agreement, CLI may require the Client to deposit funds with CLI to secure payment of fees that may become due under this Agreement or may thereafter require that Client pay cash, cashier’s check, or certified funds for the performance of Services.  Any deposited funds shall not bear interest.

5.2.3        For Failure of AcceptanceIn the event the Software is not accepted by Client pursuant to the Acceptance Plan, Client has the right to terminate the Agreement under Section 2 with no further cost or obligation, provided that Client may not terminate the Agreement in the event the non-acceptance of the Software is due to action or inaction of the Client or using the Software in a way that is not authorized by the Documentation.

5.2.4        Termination for Convenience.  Either party may terminate the Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ written notice.  If Client terminates the Agreement, the Client shall pay in addition to any charges for Services used, liquidated damages equaling the monthly fees applicable at termination of the Agreement multiplied by the number of months remaining under the term of the Agreement, plus actual expenses incurred by CLI to terminate the Services and provide any transition services hereunder.  The parties intend that the liquidated damages amount shall constitute compensation and not a penalty.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the harm to CLI caused by Client’s early termination of this Agreement would be difficult to estimate and that the amount of the liquidate damages are a reasonable estimate of the actual or anticipated harm.

5.2.5        Contract Addendum Request.  Client may request an amendment to this agreement to cancel services or licenses prior to the end of the contract term by submitting a Contract Addendum Request, which is available online at http://go.chartlogic.com/contract-addendum-request.  CLI is not required to approve any Contract Addendum Request.  CLI may, at its discretion, propose a Contract Addendum based on the Contract Addendum Request.  If a Contract Addendum is proposed by CLI and accepted by Client, this Agreement will be amended as provided therein.  Client acknowledges that cancelling services or licenses results in a loss to CLI that is difficult to assess, and that a Contract Addendum will provide for payment of the fee for the cancelled services or licenses through the end of the remaining term of the Agreement as liquidated damages, and not a penalty.

5.3              Remedies upon Termination.  In the event of any termination pursuant to Section 5.2.1 and 5.2.2, the terminating party will be entitled to all other rights and remedies which such party may have under this Agreement and under applicable law.

5.4              Transition upon Termination.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party shall promptly return to the other party all data, materials and other properties of the other party held by it, without regard for whether or not such property is “Confidential Information.”  Upon the expiration or earlier termination, CLI will be entitled to compensation with respect to any amounts due and payable for any period up to the effective date of termination.  Further, for a period of up to 30 days following the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement (the “Transition Period”), CLI shall cooperate with Client and permit Client to retrieve (via download, in an industry standard format if reasonably possible) any Client Data then in CLI’s possession.  Upon termination of this Agreement as a result of a default by CLI, CLI agrees to convert Client Data into a machine readable, non-proprietary format within a reasonable time period at no cost to Client upon Client’s request. Upon the expiration of the Term or upon termination of this Agreement as a result of a default by Client or by Client for convenience, CLI shall convert the Client Data as described above, and Client shall reimburse CLI for all time and expense involved.  CLI shall not be obligated to provide the Client Data to Client until all amounts due under the Agreement have been paid.  This Agreement will continue to govern all Services during the Transition Period, except that in no event will Client have any continuing right to use any Software or the Platform after the effective date of termination of this Agreement.
