1 Agreement structure.

1.1 Structure. This Agreement consists of and incorporates by reference:

(a) the cover page(s) containing signature blocks (the “Cover Page”);

(b) these General Terms;

1.2 Precedence. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between any two components of this Agreement, the conflict or inconsistency shall be resolved by applying the following order of precedence: (a) the applicable Addendum; (b) the Cover Page; and (c) these General Terms. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary therein, no terms or conditions stated in Supplier’s purchase order or other order documentation shall be incorporated into or form any part of this Agreement, and all such terms or conditions shall be void.

1.3 Entire agreement. All of the documents listed in Section 1.1 constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning their subject matter. Any terms contained in any Supplier purchase order or other document purporting to add to, modify, or supersede terms in this Agreement are expressly rejected by PureSpectrum and will be void, unless agreed to in a writing signed by each party.

1.4 Defintions.

“Services” means the Service provided by PureSpectrum under the MSA, including, but not limited to the PureSpectrum Subscription (as defined in the PureSpectrum Supplier Addendum) and access to the PureSpectrum API (as defined in the PureSpectrum Supplier Addendum).

“Documentation” means all documents, data, and information provided by PureSpectrum regarding the technical specifications or functioning of the Service, either electronically or in hard copy form.

2 Services.

2.1 Ordering Services. PureSpectrum will provide and make the Services available to Supplier pursuant to this Agreement and any Economic Terms Addendums.

2.2 PureSpectrum Addendum. If the parties enter into an Economic Terms Addendum, the relevant PureSpectrum Addendum shall be incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

2.3 Economic Terms Addendum. By entering into an Economic Terms Addendum under this Agreement, Supplier and their Affiliates agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if it were an original party hereto. Economic Terms Addendums referencing this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

3 Term and termination.

3.1 Term. This Agreement will begin on the Effective Date and end on the Expiry Date (the “Initial Term”). If a Renewal Period is specified on the Cover Page, the Agreement will automatically renew for successive terms (each a “Renewal Term”) of duration equal to the Renewal Period, unless Supplier gives written notice of non-renewal at least 180 days before the expiration of the then-current term or PureSpectrum provides notice of non-renewal any time before the expiration of the then-current term. Together, the Initial Term and any Renewal Terms are the “Term”.

3.2 Termination for cause. A party may terminate this Agreement and any Economic Terms Addendums for cause:

(a) on written notice to the other party if the other party materially breaches this Agreement and either the breach cannot be cured or, if the breach can be cured, the breaching party has not cured such breach within 30 days of receiving written notice of such breach from the non-breaching party;

(b) if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

3.3 Effect of termination of Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, neither party may enter into subsequent Economic Terms Addendums that incorporate the terms of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement will not, by itself, result in the termination of any Economic Terms Addendums previously entered into (or extensions thereof), and the terms of this Agreement will continue in effect for the purposes of such Economic Terms Addendums until an Economic Terms Addendum itself is terminated.

3.4 Survival. The following will survive any termination of this Agreement: (a) Sections 3, 4.3, 4.4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of these General Terms, and any section of this Agreement which, by its nature, is intended to survive.

4 Payment.

4.1 Fees. PureSpectrum shall pay all legitimate fees earned by Supplier in accordance with the relevant Economic Terms Addendum. In the event that PureSpectrum determines that Supplier has engaged in fraudulent activity and/or knowingly provided fraudulent traffic to PureSpectrum, PureSpectrum reserves the right to terminate the Supplier’s account and cancel any and all outstanding payments. PureSpectrum has the sole and final discretion in this determination.

4.2 Invoicing and payment terms. Supplier will invoice PureSpectrum for all fees specified in all Economic Terms Addendums, in accordance with any invoicing schedule set forth on such Economic Terms Addendum, and in accordance with a month-end statement provided by PureSpectrum to Supplier. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any discrepancy between the fees owed between PureSpectrum and Supplier, PureSpectrum’s calculation shall prevail. Unless otherwise specified in an Economic Terms Addendum:

(a) Fees will be invoiced in arrears;

(b) Invoices are due to be paid by PureSpectrum to Supplier 75 days from the date the invoice is received.

(e) Supplier must accrue a minimum balance due and payable of $1,000 before payment will be made via wire transfer.

9.1 Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all confidential information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), 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. Supplier’s Confidential Information shall include Supplier-Provided Materials. PureSpectrum’s Confidential Information shall include the Services. Confidential Information of each party shall include the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Economic Terms Addendums), 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 shall not include any information that:

(a) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party;

(b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party;

(d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.

9.2 Use, disclosure and protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement. Except as otherwise authorized in writing by the Disclosing Party or as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement, the Receiving Party will limit disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to its and its Affiliates’ employees, contractors and agents who need access to such information for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who are under a duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than the Receiving Party’s duty hereunder. The Receiving Party shall use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care).

9.3 Exceptions to disclosure obligations.

(a) Disclosure to representatives. Each party may disclose the terms of this Agreement (including any Economic Terms Addendum) to its fiduciary professional advisors, including its auditors, accountants and attorneys without the other party’s prior written consent. Each party may disclose the terms of this Agreement (including any Economic Terms Addendum) to any third party that is a prospective financier, investor or acquirer of some or all of such party’s business or stock (provided that any such third party to which the terms of this Agreement are to be disclosed signs a written confidentiality agreement appropriate to limit use and disclosure to evaluating such financing, investing or acquisition transaction).

(b) Compelled disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information if the Receiving Party is compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prompt prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure or seek a protective order. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information.

9.4 Return of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will return to the Disclosing Party or destroy all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in the Receiving Party’s possession or control and permanently erase all electronic copies of such Confidential Information promptly upon the written request of the Disclosing Party upon the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may retain the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information solely to the extent that such Confidential Information is retained only in the Receiving Party’s electronic archives and backup storage databases for record keeping purposes, provided that all such retained Confidential Information remains subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 9 (Confidentiality). At the Disclosing Party’s request, the Receiving Party will confirm in writing that it has fully complied with its obligations under this Section 9.4.

10 General.

10.1 Amendments; Waivers. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the parties. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.

10.2 Anti-Corruption. Supplier represents that it has not received or been offered any illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift, or thing of value from any of PureSpectrum’s employees or agents in connection with this Agreement.

10.5 Dispute resolution. The parties will endeavor to resolve any dispute arising out of this Agreement within 30 days (or such other length of time agreed to by the parties), acting in good faith, by progressive escalation through their respective management chains, starting with the primary business contacts for each party.

10.7 Force majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of a party will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of such party, including strikes or other labor disputes (other than those involving such party’s employees), shortage of materials, supply interruption, epidemics, famines, fire, earthquake, flood, hurricanes, and other natural disasters, acts of God, war, riot, terrorism, and civil unrest.

10.8 Governing law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any of its conflicts of laws principles.

Supplier will not have, and will not represent to any third party that it has any authority to act on behalf of PureSpectrum.

10.11 Remedies. Except where remedies are expressly stated in this Agreement to be sole and exclusive remedies, the parties’ rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative.

10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable, such provision will be modified and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
