Terms of Agreement
1. ORDERING AND PURCHASES.
Access to services and products provided by WellLine shall be made only against written Orders accepted by WellLine. This Agreement contemplates the execution by the Parties of one or more Orders. With respect to an Order, the terms “WellLine” and “Customer” as used in this Agreement will be deemed to refer to the entities that execute that Order, the Order will be considered a two party agreement between such entities, and WellLine will separately invoice the Customer named in the Order for the associated license fees. Neither execution of this Agreement, nor anything contained herein, shall obligate either Party to enter into any Orders. Affiliates of Customer may execute Orders hereunder provided that (i) each Affiliate that signs an Order referencing this Agreement shall be considered “Customer” as such term is used herein and such Affiliate is solely responsible for its obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Order. Customer agrees it will be responsible for all obligations under this Agreement by any Affiliate that executes an Order and any breach by such Affiliate shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Customer.
2. ACCESS, LICENSE AND USE.
2.1. License and Access. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and subject to the hosting chosen by Customer in the applicable Order, WellLine hereby grants to Customer, during the Subscription Term, either (the “License”):

(ii) a license to install one copy of the WellLine Software within a Microsoft Azure environment, managed by Customer, that meets WellLine’s requirements set forth in the Documentation, solely for use by Authorized Users, for Permitted Purposes, in accordance with the Documentation, in accordance with the terms and conditions herein.
The License to the Software is non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable, may not be sublicensed in whole or in part, and remains effective only during the Subscription Term. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any act or omission of its Authorized Users in connection with use of the Software, which act or omission would constitute a breach of this Agreement if undertaken by Customer, shall be considered a material breach by Customer hereunder. The scope of these rights are defined by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2.2. Documentation License. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, WellLine hereby grants to Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable right and license to use and to make copies of the Documentation during the Subscription Term for Customer’s internal Permitted Purposes in connection with its use of the Software as contemplated herein. Customer acknowledges that the Documentation is WellLine’s Confidential Information.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY
5.1. Definition. “Confidential Information” means all non-public information disclosed by a Party (“Discloser”) to the other party (“Recipient”), 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. Customer’s Confidential Information includes Customer Data. WellLine Confidential Information includes the WellLine Technology. The Confidential Information of each Party includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Orders (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 Discloser, (ii) was known to the Recipient prior to its disclosure by the Discloser without breach of any obligation owed to the Discloser, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Discloser, or (iv) was independently developed by the Recipient.
5.2. Protection of Confidential Information. The Recipient 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) (i) not to use any Confidential Information of the Discloser for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Discloser in writing, to limit access to Confidential Information of the Discloser 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 Recipient containing protections no less stringent than those herein. Neither Party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order 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 Section 5.2.
5.3. Compelled Disclosure. The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of the Discloser to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Recipient gives the Discloser prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Discloser's cost, if the Discloser wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Recipient is compelled by law to disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Discloser is a party, and the Discloser is not contesting the disclosure, the Discloser will reimburse the Recipient for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
