Solution Data. As between Provider and Subscriber, Provider shall own all data collected, generated, processed or stored by the Products and Services (excluding the personal identifying information of Subscriber’s personnel or residents), and may use such data for its business purposes, provided that Provider shall not share any data with any third party in a non-anonymized or non-aggregated manner without Subscriber’s consent.

Subscriber acknowledges and expressly agrees that any contribution of Feedback does not and will not give or grant Subscriber any right, title or interest in the Products or Services or in any such Feedback. All Feedback becomes the sole and exclusive property of Provider, and Provider may use and disclose Feedback without further notice or compensation to Subscriber and without retention by Subscriber of any proprietary or other right or claim.

Such marketing support and/or activities shall include serving as a public reference for Provider with respect to customer use, participating in questionnaires and surveys in connection with case studies, and cooperating with press releases with respect to Subscriber’s use of Provider’s Products and Services. Without limiting the foregoing, Subscriber may grant upon written request from Provider permission to publish Subscriber’s names, corporate logos and/or service marks in any form of media in connection with any advertising, marketing and other promotional materials developed by Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Provider, upon request by Subscriber, will cease to use Subscriber’s names, corporate logos and/or service marks in any marketing materials which are printed subsequent to such request and shall, upon such request, remove such names, corporate logos and/or service marks from its web site.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Use and Non-Disclosure. Each Party (“Receiving Party”) will maintain in confidence all Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) under this Agreement. The Receiving Party agrees not to use any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information except as expressly authorized by this Agreement, and further agrees not to disclose or grant use of such Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party on a case-by-case basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may disclose this Agreement to its professional advisors and potential and actual investors and/or acquirers, provided such persons are subject to written confidentiality obligations no less protective than the terms of this Section 7.1. In addition, the Receiving Party will use at least the same standard of care as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of similar nature to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, and in no event less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party agrees to promptly notify the Disclosing Party upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information. The restrictions on disclosure will not apply to Confidential Information which is required to be disclosed by a court, government agency or regulatory requirement, provided that Receiving Party shall first notify the Disclosing Party of such disclosure requirement or order and use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment or a protective order.
Exceptions. The obligations of confidentiality contained in Section 7.1 will not apply to the extent that it can be established by the Receiving Party beyond a reasonable doubt that Confidential Information: (a) was already known to the Receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the Receiving Party; (c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure and other than through any act or omission of the Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement; (d) was disclosed to the Receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, by a third party who had no obligation to the other party not to disclose such information to others; or (e) was developed independently by the Receiving Party without any use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
Equitable Relief. The Receiving Party understands and agrees that the Disclosing Party would suffer immediate and irreparable harm in the event of any breach of any of the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement, that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement and, therefore, that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief, including an injunction and an order for specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach in addition to any other relief to which it is entitled, including but not limited to monetary damages, and that Disclosing Party shall not be required to post a bond or other security to obtain such equitable relief.

Service Level Standards. Provider will at all times during the Term of this Agreement use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the following service levels for the Subscription Services (collectively, the “Service Levels”).
System Availability Service Level. Provider will make the Subscription Services available 99% of the time during each one-month period during the Term, excluding any Subscription Services maintenance or Force Majeure Events that result in the Subscription Services not being available to Subscriber, as measured and monitored from Provider’s facilities (“Service Availability”). Service Availability will be calculated on a monthly basis using the following formula: Actual Availability divided by Total Scheduled Availability multiplied by 100%. The following definitions will apply with respect to the calculation of Service Availability:
“Actual Availability” means Total Scheduled Availability minus Downtime, in minutes.
“Downtime” means the time (in minutes) that the computing infrastructure that hosts the Subscription Services is online and available to receive application requests from the public internet. Downtime does not include any unavailability of the Subscription Services and system due to System Maintenance or a failure or defect arising out of a Force Majeure Event, or any inability of an Authorized User to access the Subscription Services due to such Authorized User’s loss of power, internet connectivity, or other cause unrelated to the Subscription Services.
“System Maintenance” means time (in minutes) that the Subscription Services are not accessible to Subscriber due to maintenance of the Subscription Services, including for maintenance and upgrading of the software and hardware used by Provider or its service providers to provide the Subscription Services. System Maintenance includes scheduled maintenance and unscheduled, emergency maintenance. Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Subscriber with at least five (5) business days’ prior written notice of any scheduled maintenance or sixty (60) minutes’ advance written notice for unscheduled, emergency maintenance. Provider will provide such notices to Subscriber by email to an address provided by Subscriber. System Maintenance in any given month will not exceed two (2) hours per month. Any time during which the Subscription Services are unavailable to Subscriber due to maintenance or other activity by Provider for which Provider fails to give notice, which exceeds the permitted time allotment, or which occurs outside of the foregoing permitted hours will be included in the calculation of Downtime.
“Total Scheduled Availability” means seven (7) days per week, twenty-four (24) hours per day, excluding System Maintenance, in minutes.
