3.      PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

3.1        Services. As between Augmedix and Customer, the Services, Software, Documentation, Educational Materials (as defined in the applicable Product Schedule), including all Intellectual Property Rights therein or relating thereto, and any improvements, enhancements or modifications to any of the foregoing, are and shall remain the exclusive property of Augmedix or its licensors.

3.2        Customer Data and Materials. Customer, or its licensors, shall retain all right, title and interest to the Customer Data and Customer Materials, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein and thereto. Augmedix may use the Customer Materials solely for the purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement.  By providing Customer Data or Customer Materials to Augmedix, Customer hereby grants Augmedix a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free license to (a) use, copy, modify, and create derivative works based upon the Customer Data, and (b) access and use Customer Materials in connection with operating and providing the Services.

3.3        Usage Data.

3.4        Feedback. To the extent Customer provides any suggestions, recommendation or other feedback to Augmedix with respect to the Services, Customer hereby grants to Augmedix a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon and otherwise use any such feedback and the Intellectual Property Rights therein.

4.      CONFIDENTIALITY

4.1        Definition. By virtue of this Agreement, the Parties may have access to each other’s Confidential Information. “Confidential Information,” as used in this Agreement, means (i) any information that is marked or identified at the time of disclosure as being confidential or proprietary; and (ii) any other information not previously known to the receiving Party or not generally known or readily ascertainable and from which the receiving Party or others may obtain a business benefit or advantage.  Augmedix’s Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the Services, and any associated Software, whether in source or executable code, the Documentation, nonpublic financial information, pricing, business plans, techniques, methods, processes, and the results of any performance tests of the Services, including, without limitation, the Software. Customer Data is the Confidential Information of Customer. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed the Confidential Information of both Parties and neither Party shall disclose such information except to such Party’s advisors, accountants, attorneys, investors (and prospective investors), and prospective acquirers as have a reasonable need to know such information, provided that any such third parties shall, before they may access such information, either (a) execute a binding agreement to keep such information confidential or (b) be subject to a professional obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information. If the receiving Party questions whether any information is regarded as confidential by the disclosing Party or others, the receiving Party agrees to treat the information as Confidential Information until and unless the disclosing Party confirms in writing that it is not confidential.

4.2        Exclusions. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known through no act or omission of the receiving Party; (b) was in the receiving Party’s lawful possession prior to the disclosure; (c) is rightfully disclosed to the receiving Party by a third party without restriction on disclosure; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving Party, which independent development can be shown by written evidence.

4.3        Use and Nondisclosure. Neither Party shall make the other’s Confidential Information available to any third party or use the other’s Confidential Information for any purposes other than exercising its rights and performing its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that the other’s Confidential Information is not disclosed or distributed by its employees or agents in violation of the terms of this Agreement, but in no event will either Party use less effort to protect the Confidential Information of the other Party than it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of like importance. Each Party will ensure that any agents or subcontractors that are permitted to access any of the other’s Confidential Information are legally bound to comply with obligations of confidentiality no less stringent than those set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information may be disclosed as required by any governmental agency, provided that before disclosing such information the disclosing Party must provide the non-disclosing Party with sufficient advance notice of the agency’s request for the information to enable the non-disclosing Party to exercise any rights it may have to challenge or limit the agency’s authority to receive such Confidential Information.

5.      HIPAA Compliance

5.1        Patient Confidentiality. In addition to the general confidentiality provisions in Section 4, the parties acknowledge their responsibility with respect to Protected Health Information disclosed by Customer to Augmedix, or created by Augmedix on behalf of Customer, pursuant to a Service Order. The Parties agree to comply with the applicable Business Associate Addendum with respect to such Protected Health Information, which forms a part of this Agreement.

5.2        Protected Health Information. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 4, Customer hereby grants to Augmedix an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license to (a) use Customer’s Protected Health Information to create de-identified data; and (b) use Protected Health Information provided by Customer to perform Data Aggregation services relating to the health care operations of Customer. The de-identified data is, and shall remain, the exclusive property of Augmedix, and Augmedix may use such data without restrictions, including for research, analytics and modeling purposes.

6.      FEES; EXPENSES; TAXES

6.1        Fees. In consideration for providing the Services, Customer shall pay to Augmedix the Fees for its Subscription, in accordance with the terms set forth in the applicable Service Order.

6.2        Expenses. To the extent expenses are described in a Service Order, Customer shall reimburse Augmedix for all actual and reasonable expenses (including, but not limited to, travel, lodging, and shipping) incurred by Augmedix in connection with such Service Order (collectively, “Expenses”).

6.3        Invoices; Payment; Late Payment. Augmedix shall invoice Customer for Fees, Expenses and applicable Taxes (as defined below) in the manner described in the applicable Service Order. All payments will be made in U.S. dollars. Each undisputed invoice is due and payable by Customer no later than thirty (30) days following the invoice date. If Augmedix has not received payment within five (5) days after the due date, interest shall accrue on past due amounts at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, but in no event greater than the highest rate of interest allowed by law, calculated from the date such amount was due until the date that payment is received by Augmedix.  Further, if any charge owing by Customer is thirty (30) days or more overdue, Augmedix may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend Services until such amounts are paid in full, provided that, Augmedix has given Customer at least seven (7) days’ notice that its account is overdue.  Customer shall reimburse Augmedix for the reasonable costs of collection, including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys.

6.4        Automatic Payment. IF CUSTOMER HAS DESIGNATED A CREDIT CARD AS ITS METHOD OF PAYMENT FOR SERVICES, CUSTOMER AGREES TO BE CHARGED AUTOMATICALLY WITHIN A WEEK PRIOR TO THE DUE DATE FOR FEES IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS SUBSCRIPTION PLAN.

6.5        Auto-renewal. Customer agrees that its Subscription will automatically renew on an annual or monthly basis depending on Customer’s Subscription (the “Renewal Date”).  Customer authorizes Augmedix to automatically charge Customer for the applicable Fees for any renewal period, unless the Subscription has been terminated or cancelled in accordance with this Agreement or the applicable Service Order. If Customer wishes to remove the number of Authorized Users in its Subscription or cancel its Subscription, it must do so at least thirty (30) days prior to the Renewal Date.  If Customer chooses to cancel its Subscription during the Subscription Term, Customer may use the Service until the end of Customer’s applicable Subscription Term or portion thereof (as applicable), but will not be issued a refund for the applicable Fees for the remaining Subscription Term.

6.6        Taxes. All amounts and Fees stated or referred to in this Agreement are exclusive of taxes, duties, levies, tariffs, and other governmental charges (including, without limitation, VAT) (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer shall be responsible for payment of all Taxes and any related interest and/or penalties resulting from any payments made hereunder, other than any taxes based on Augmedix’s net income.

7.      TERM AND TERMINATION

7.1        Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until the expiration of the last surviving Service Order hereunder.

7.2        Termination for Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement and fails to correct the breach within thirty (30) days following written notice specifying the breach; provided that the cure period for any default with respect to payment of Augmedix’ invoices shall be five (5) business days.

7.3        Rights and Obligations upon Expiration or Termination. Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement or a Service Order, as applicable, Customer’s and Authorized Users’ (as defined in the applicable Product Schedule) right to access and use the now-terminated Services shall immediately terminate.  Customer and its Authorized Users shall immediately cease all use of the now-terminated Services and return all materials supplied by Augmedix thereunder.  Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement, each Party shall return and make no further use of any Confidential Information, equipment (including the Patient Content Capture Device(s), as defined in the Product Schedule) materials, or other items (and all copies thereof) belonging to the other Party.  Augmedix may destroy or otherwise dispose of any Customer Data in its possession, except as prohibited by any applicable law, unless Augmedix receives, no later than ten (10) days after the effective date of the expiration or termination of this Agreement or Service Order, a written request for the delivery to Customer of the then-most recent back-up of the Customer Data. Augmedix will use all reasonable efforts to deliver the back-up to Customer within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such a written request. Customer shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred by Augmedix in returning Customer Data to Customer.

8.2        Augmedix Warranty. Augmedix warrants that the Services will provide the functionality set forth in each Product Schedule applicable to the Services described in the Service Order, and the Services will be performed in a thorough and professional manner by Augmedix. As Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and Augmedix’s entire liability for any breach of the foregoing warranty, Augmedix will, at its sole option and expense, promptly re-perform any Services that fail to meet this limited warranty.

8.3        Customer Warranty. Customer warrants that it shall ensure that all Authorized Users comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that Customer shall be liable for any violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by any Authorized User.

8.4        Disclaimer. Customer assumes sole responsibility and liability for any conclusions drawn from the use of the Services. Augmedix shall have no liability for any claims, losses, or damage caused by errors or omissions in Customer’s Confidential Information (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes Customer Data) or any other information provided to Augmedix by Customer in connection with the Services or any actions taken by Augmedix at Customer’s direction. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 8.1 AND 8.2, AUGMEDIX MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 8.2, AUGMEDIX DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE ERROR FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED. AUGMEDIX FURTHER DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AS TO MERCHANTABILITY, ACCURACY OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. AUGMEDIX FURTHER DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM AUGMEDIX OR ELSEWHERE SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

8.5      SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN SECTION 8.4 MAY NOT APPLY.

9.      INDEMNIFICATION

9.1        Indemnification by Customer. Customer will, at its expense, indemnify, defend and hold Augmedix harmless, from any and all claims, suits, actions, proceedings brought by a third party against Augmedix and any liabilities, losses, damages and expenses resulting therefrom, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from:  (a) the negligent or willful misconduct of Customer or any of its employees, agents, or subcontractors in connection with the Services; (b) Customer’s or any Authorized User’s use of the Services in a manner that violates the terms of this Agreement; or (c) an Indemnity Exclusion (as defined below).

9.2        Indemnification by Augmedix. Augmedix will, at its expense, indemnify, defend and hold Customer harmless, from any and all claims, suits, actions, proceedings brought by a third party against Customer and any damages, liability or judgments resulting therefrom, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from:  (a) negligence or willful misconduct by Augmedix or any of its employees, agents, or subcontractors in providing the Augmedix Services; (b) Augmedix’s material breach of the Business Associate Agreement; or (c) the infringement or misappropriation of any copyright or trade secret of a third party by Augmedix in performing the Services, provided that, Augmedix will have no liability for third party equipment or components, or to the extent such claim: (i) involves infringement that is attributable to any Customer-supplied designs or specifications; (ii) is based on modification or combination of any deliverables provided by Augmedix with any non-Augmedix hardware or software not contemplated by this Agreement, if the claim would have been avoided had such deliverables not been so modified or so combined; or (iii) to the extent it results from failure of Customer to use updated or modified versions of any deliverables provided by Augmedix for avoiding such a claim (the foregoing subsections (i)-(iii) are referred to collectively as an “Indemnity Exclusion”). In the event that Augmedix’s right to provide the Services is enjoined or in Augmedix’s reasonable opinion is likely to be enjoined, Augmedix may obtain the right to continue providing the Services, replace or modify the Services so that they become non-infringing, or, if such remedies are not reasonably available, terminate this Agreement without penalty to Customer. THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE OBLIGATION OF AUGMEDIX AND ITS LICENSORS WITH RESPECT TO ANY ALLEGED OR ACTUAL INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY THE SERVICES.

9.3        Indemnification Procedures. A Party’s obligation to indemnify the other Party will only arise if: the indemnified Party: (a) promptly notifies the indemnifying Party in writing of the claim; (b) grants the indemnifying Party sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim; and (c) provides the indemnifying Party, at the indemnifying Party’s expense, with all assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the claim. The indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement that would limit the indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement, that would constitute an admission of liability by indemnified Party or that would impose any obligations on the indemnified Party, without the indemnified Party’s express prior written consent.  The indemnified Party reserves the right to retain counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense to participate in the defense and settlement of such claim without affecting any of the indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations set forth herein.

10.        LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSS OF INCOME, DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, OR OTHER ECONOMIC LOSS, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND WHETHER ANY CLAIM FOR RECOVERY IS BASED ON THEORIES OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR ACTION, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OR THEORY OF THE CLAIM OR ACTION.

11.        ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS CONTAINED IN SECTION 11 AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN THE SUBJECT OF NEGOTIATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND REPRESENT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT BASED UPON THE PERCEIVED LEVEL OF RISK ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE PAYMENTS MADE HEREUNDER. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (A) THE PROVISIONS HEREOF THAT LIMIT LIABILITY, DISCLAIM WARRANTIES OR EXCLUDE CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR OTHER DAMAGES OR REMEDIES SHALL BE SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ANY OTHER PROVISIONS AND SHALL BE ENFORCED AS SUCH, REGARDLESS OF ANY BREACH HEREUNDER, AND (B) ALL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES, AND EXCLUSIONS OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR OTHER DAMAGES OR REMEDIES SHALL REMAIN FULLY VALID, EFFECTIVE AND ENFORCEABLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE TERMS, EVEN UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CAUSE AN EXCLUSIVE REMEDY TO FAIL OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

12.9        Assignment/Successors. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the other Party’s written consent except in the event of a Change of Control (as defined below) of Augmedix.

12.13        Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges that a breach by the other Party of any confidentiality or proprietary rights provision of this Agreement may cause the non-breaching Party irreparable damage, for which the award of damages would not be adequate compensation. Consequently, the non-breaching Party may institute an action to enjoin the breaching Party from any and all acts in violation of those provisions, which remedy shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and a Party may seek the entry of an injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of those provisions, in addition to any other relief to which the non-breaching Party may be entitled at law or in equity.
