Provider may, at its own expense, on reasonable prior notice, periodically inspect and audit Subscriber’s records with respect to matters covered by this Agreement, provided that if such inspection and audit reveals that Subscriber has underpaid Provider with respect to any amounts due and payable during the Term, Subscriber shall promptly pay the amounts necessary to rectify such underpayment, together with interest in accordance with Section 5(a). Subscriber shall pay for the costs of the audit if the audit determines that Subscriber’s underpayment equals or exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) for any quarter.

(d) Guarantee. If Subscriber provides written notification of its intent to close its account within ninety (90) days of the creation of the account, Provider agrees to refund any subscription fees paid by Subscriber up to that date.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required

(i) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order; or 

(ii) to establish a Party’s rights under this Agreement, including to make required court filings. On the expiration or termination of the Agreement, the receiving Party shall promptly return to the disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. Each Party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the Effective Date and will expire ten (10) years from the date first disclosed to the receiving Party; provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.

The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the venue of any action or proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(j) Assignment. Subscriber may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Provider, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section will be null and void. No assignment or delegation will relieve the assigning or delegating Party of any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

(k) Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Section 6 or, in the case of Subscriber, Section 2(c), would cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy.

EXHIBIT B

SERVICE LEVELS AND SUPPORT

Commencing on the date the Service to the Subscriber commences (the “Subscription Term”). Otto will provide Service Level Commitments (“SLC”) (defined in Section 3 below) and Support Services in accordance with the SLC and Support Services Terms as defined herein. In the event of any conflict between the Agreement and the Service Level Commitment and Support Services Terms, the SLC and Support Services Terms will prevail. The SLC and Support Services incorporate the definitions set forth in Section 1 of the Otto User License Agreement. 

1. Exhibit Definitions 

“Subscriber Core Group” means Subscriber’s employees who have been trained on the Service and who are familiar with Subscriber’s business practices. 

“Subscriber User Community” means all users who input, extract or view data in the Service, including all Registered Patients. 

“Downtime” means any period, greater than ten minutes, within the Scheduled Available Time during which the Subscriber is unable to access or use the Service because of an Error (as defined below), excluding (i) any such period that occurs during any Scheduled Downtime and/or Recurring Downtime (as defined below), or (ii) document preview, search, FTP or syn functions of the Service. 

“Error(s)” means the material failure of the Service to conform to its published functional specifications. 

“Excluded” means the following: (i) unavailability caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, act of God, acts of government, emergencies, natural disasters, flood, fire, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems (other than those involving our employees), or any other force majeure event or factors; (ii) any problems resulting from Subscriber’s combining or merging the Service with any hardware or software not supplied by us or not identified by us in writing as compatible with the Service; (iii) interruptions or delays in providing the service resulting from telecommunications or internet service provider failures; and (iv) any interruption or unavailability resulting from the misuse, improper use, alteration, or damage of the Service.

“Priority 1” means a critical full outage/severe issue that constitutes a catastrophic problem that causes complete inability to use the Service across a significant portion of the production environment (e.g. crash or hang), resulting in production downtime and where there is no workaround or solution to the problem.

“Procedural Issues” means those issues that are to be addressed by Subscriber through adjustment of a specific business process to accomplish work in the Service.

“Recurring Downtime” means 4 hours per month on the third Saturday of the month from 12:00 A.M. to 4:00 A.M. EST.

“Request” means a modification to the Service outside of the scope of the functional specifications.

“Scheduled Available Time” means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

“Scheduled Downtime” means the time period identified by Otto in which it intends to perform any planned upgrades and/or maintenance on the Service or related systems and any overrun beyond the planned completion time.

“Service Uptime” means (total hours in calendar month – unscheduled maintenance which causes unavailability – Priority 1 issue durations – scheduled maintenance – Excluded) / (Total hours in calendar month – scheduled maintenance – Excluded) X 100%.

“Uptime Percentage” means the total number of minutes of Scheduled Available Time for a calendar month minus the number of minutes of Downtime suffered in such calendar month, divided by the total number of minutes of Scheduled Available Time in such calendar month. Uptime Percentage will be calculated by Otto solely using records and tools available to Otto.

“User Administration Support” means issues that impact the usability of the Service and are addressable through the adjustment of Registered Patient’s access privileges, processes or procedures.

2. Scope of Service Level Commitments

Otto’s obligations do not extend to Errors or other issues caused by:

1. Any modification of the Service made by any person other than Otto;

2. Any third party hardware or software used by Subscriber or any Registered Patients except as otherwise provided in the then current Documentation; 

3. The improper operation of the Service by Subscriber or Registered Patients; 

4. The accidental or deliberate damage to, or intrusion or interference with the Service; 

5. The use of the Service other than in accordance with any User Documentation or the reasonable instruction of Otto;

6. Ongoing test or training instances of the Services provided to Subscriber; or 

7. Services, circumstances or events beyond the reasonable control of Otto, including without limitation, any force majeure events, the performance and/or availability of local ISP’s employed by Subscriber, or any network beyond the demarcation or control of Otto. 

3. Scheduled Downtime and Guaranteed Uptime 

Otto will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least 24 hours’ prior notice before undertaking any Scheduled Downtime. Commencing on the effective date of the applicable Subscription Term, in the event the Service experiences an Uptime Percentage of less than 99.9% in any two or more consecutive calendar months, Subscriber will be entitled to a credit (“SLC Credit”) equal to the pro-rated amount of fees applicable to the downtime as measured within the two-month time period. The credit shall be applied against an invoice or charge for the following renewal Subscription Term, provided Subscriber requests such credit within twenty (20) days of the end of the relevant calendar month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this section. The SLC Credit is Subscriber’s sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by Otto to meet any performance obligations pertaining to the Service, including, without limitation, any support obligations except as provided in the User License Agreement. 

Otto reserves the right to temporarily suspend Subscriber’s or a Registered Patient’s access to the Otto Service as set out in the User License Agreement. Any such suspensions based on repairs, technical problems, outages or maintenance services will be subject to the Service Level Commitments. 

4. Availability of SLC Credits 

Subscribers who are past due on any payments owed to Otto are not eligible to receive SLC Credits. Otto will issue SLC Credits, as determined in its sole discretion, either on future billing cycles or as a refund against annual fees paid. In order to receive any SLC Credit, Subscriber must notify Otto within 30 days from the time Subscriber becomes eligible to receive a SLC Credit. Failure to comply with this requirement will forfeit Subscriber’s right to receive a SLC Credit. In no event will the total amount of SLC Credits if any, exceed the feed paid by Subscriber for the corresponding month. 

5. Support Services 

Otto will provide support services to assist Subscriber in resolving Errors (“Support Services”). Support Services do not include (a) physical installation or removal of the API and any Documentation; (b) visits to Subscriber’s site; (c) any electrical, mechanical or other work with hardware, accessories or other devices associated with the use of the Service; (d) any work with any third party equipment, software or services; (e) any professional services (“Professional Services”) associated with the Service, including without limitation, any custom development or data modeling. 

Otto will provide email and/or phone support as specified at ottooptios.io, excluding Otto corporate holidays, weekends, and national Canadian holidays except where noted.
