In exchange for the Services to be provided and the licenses granted under this Agreement, commencing on the Service Start Date, Subscriber shall pay Licensor the fees identified in the applicable Order, plus any other applicable fees, costs, and expenses contained in the Order and/or this Agreement (collectively, the “Fees”). Subscriber shall inform Licensor of any changes to its use of the Services as limited by or described herein or in the Order (e.g., an increase in the number of Authorized Users beyond what is permitted in the Order) no later than seven (7) days after the date of such increase and the Order will be deemed amended accordingly.
    2. Late Payments. If Subscriber fails to pay the Fees by the due date specified on the invoice, Licensor shall be permitted to suspend Subscriber’s access to the Service, limit Subscriber’s access to the Subscriber Data, and/or be entitled to interest from the day on which the Fees became due. Both parties agree that the rate of interest on overdue invoices shall be 1.5% per month, or the maximum amount allowable by applicable law, whichever is greater.
    3. Taxes. Subscriber will be responsible for, and will promptly pay or reimburse Licensor for, the payment of all sales, use, excise, value-added (VAT), or similar taxes, assessments, or duties (or other similar charges) imposed by any governmental agency domestic or foreign (including any interest and penalty imposed thereon as a result of any act or omission of Licensor that is in accordance with the direction or request of Subscriber) that are based on or with respect to any Services or goods provided by Licensor to Subscriber, or the amounts payable to Licensor therefore.
  4. Professional Services. During the Term, Subscriber may request Licensor to perform professional services in the nature of software development, customization add-in, documentation, training, testing, integration services, and any other similar services that Licensor may offer (hereinafter, “Professional Services”). Licensor may offer certain limited Professional Services at no charge as part of the Service, to the extent Licensor determines in its sole discretion. Otherwise, Licensor may provide Subscriber with a written proposal, and when the Parties agree to all requirements and specifications of the proposed Professional Services, a task order for the Professional Services (a “Task Order”).
  5. Access.
    1. Service. Subscriber shall acquire, install, operate, and maintain at Subscriber’s expense all communications lines, equipment, software, services, and related technology necessary to receive, access, and use the Service. Except with respect to Authorized Users or as otherwise expressly stated herein or on an applicable Order, Subscriber is prohibited from and will have no right to allow any third party (which may include agents, contractors, affiliates, or other third-party representatives acting on behalf of Company) to access and/or use the Service.
    2. Delivery and Acceptance. Licensor will make the Service available to Subscriber as indicated herein or on the Order. The Service will be deemed accepted upon the Service Start Date. Any updates, bug fixes, or upgrades (“Corrections”) to the Service will be deemed accepted by Subscriber on the day such Corrections are first made available to Subscriber or accessed by Subscriber, whichever is earlier.

Licensor may, upon prior written notice to Subscriber, reasonably request Subscriber to maintain records containing additional information related to the Service and Subscriber’s use thereof. In addition, Licensor may implement and use, but is not required to, various software and tools to monitor Subscriber’s use of the Service, as Licensor deems reasonably necessary, in order to determine Subscriber’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
  7. Audits and Inspections. For the purpose of verifying compliance with this Agreement, Licensor (and Licensor’s authorized representatives) shall have the right, during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice and without material disruption to Subscriber’s business, to audit and inspect from time to time Subscriber’s offices, books, and records relevant to the Service and to observe the use made of the Service and the manner in which each Display Device and Authorized User accesses the Service. If such audit or inspection pursuant to this Section indicate that Subscriber is not in compliance with this Agreement (including any Order), such as more Flight Hours or Authorized Users accessing the Service than permitted and/or purchased by Subscriber under an applicable Order, Subscriber shall pay Licensor the shortfall in Fees, retrospectively to the date the noncompliance first occurred (such as the date the number of Authorized Users first exceeded the permitted number as stated herein or in the applicable Order). If such underpayment exceeds three percent (3%) of the Fees due during the relevant period, Subscriber shall pay the difference plus applicable interest and reimburse Licensor for Licensor’s reasonable costs associated with such audit or inspection.
  8. Copyright Protection; Use Restrictions; Subscriber License Grant.
    1. Subscriber agrees that the Service and all parts thereof, and its specifications, and rights therein, including without limitation the editorial coding and metadata contained therein, and all copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights therein and thereto, are the property of Licensor or Licensor’s licensors.

    3. Subscriber hereby grants to Licensor a non-exclusive, royalty-free, and non-transferable license to use, copy, store, modify, and display the Subscriber Data as necessary to provide the Service in accordance with this Agreement, including but not limited to any such needs for purposes of development, debugging, and/or troubleshooting the Service, or for Subscriber billing. Subscriber Data submitted by Subscriber to the Service, whether posted by Subscriber or by an Authorized User, remains the sole property of Subscriber and Subscriber reserves all right, title, and interest in the Subscriber Data. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Licensor may collect and provide certain Authorized User registration and statistical information or data analyzing the same, such as usage or Authorized User traffic patterns, in aggregate and anonymized form to third parties, provided that such information does not identify any Authorized User or Subscriber and contains no personally identifying information. Licensor may access Subscriber’s and its Authorized User accounts, including, without limitation, Subscriber Data, to the extent necessary to respond to service or technical problems.
    4. Subscriber hereby grants Licensor a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and royalty-free license to use Subscriber Marks for the limited purposes set forth in this Agreement, including as necessary for Licensor’s performance under this Agreement, to deliver the Service in accordance with this Agreement, and in marketing materials related to the Service.
    5. Licensor will have the right to use, act upon, and freely exploit any suggestion, idea, enhancement request, feedback, recommendation, or other information provided by Subscriber, an Authorized User, or any other third party acting on Subscriber’s behalf, without any remuneration, fee, royalty, or expense of any kind, and Licensor will hereby own all rights, title, and interest in any such suggestion, idea, enhancement request, feedback, recommendation, or other information provided by Subscriber, an Authorized User, or any other third party acting on Subscriber’s behalf.
  9. Warranties; Disclaimer. Each Party warrants and represents that it has the authority to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement, having obtained all required Board of Directors’ or other consents, and is duly organized or formed, and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation or formation. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT INCORPORATED HEREIN, SUBSCRIBER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE SERVICE(S), THE CONTENTS THEREIN, AND ANY ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS”, “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND LICENSOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, ENDORSEMENTS, OR GUARANTEES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, REGARDING OR RELATING TO ANY DELIVERABLES, MATERIALS OR SERVICES FURNISHED OR PROVIDED TO SUBSCRIBER OR ANY USER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RESULTS THEREOF. LICENSOR SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO SAID DELIVERABLES AND SERVICES, AND WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AS WELL AS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR NONINFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING THE SERVICES GRANTED UNDER ANY OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, LICENSOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OR FUNCTIONALITY OF THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE INTEGRATION FEATURE OF THE SERVICES, WHICH FEATURE IS MADE AVAILABLE TO SUBSCRIBER AS-IS, OR REGARDING WEB CONTENT ACCESSIBILITY. FROM TIME TO TIME, LICENSOR MAY PROVIDE SUBSCRIBER WITH MATERIALS DESCRIBING THE SERVICES OR RELATED TO THE SAME. SUBSCRIBER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH MATERIALS PROVIDED ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND DO NOT ALTER SUBSCRIBER’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY TO ENSURE THAT SUBSCRIBER CONTENT COMPLIES WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND INDUSTRY STANDARDS.
  10. Indemnification; Release.
    1. Indemnification.
      1. Subscriber Indemnity. Subscriber, at its expense, will defend, indemnify, and hold Licensor harmless from and against any and all actual or threatened claims, including, without limitation, those by an Authorized User for damages (whether ordinary, direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary), judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties, losses, claims, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), alleging or arising from either of the following: (1) the infringement or violation of a third party’s registered patent, trade secret, copyright, or trademark by way of Licensor’s use of any Authorized User data or Subscriber Data (as applicable), Subscriber Marks, or other information or materials provided by Subscriber or any Authorized User (as applicable) in connection with this Agreement for Licensor’s provision of the Service; or (2) loss or damage to person or property, harm, death, any acts or failure to act, negligent, grossly negligent, or willful acts or omissions, mistake, wrongful death, survival actions, or any other personal injury claim arising from use of the Service by Subscriber or any of its Authorized Users.

Licensor reserves the right, at Licensor’s own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by Subscriber, in which event Subscriber will cooperate with Licensor in asserting any available defenses.

  1. Licensor Indemnity. To the extent the Parties hereto enter an Order, Licensor, at its expense, will defend, indemnify, and hold Subscriber harmless from and against any and all third-party claims for damages (whether ordinary, direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary), judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties, losses, claims, costs, and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction, after all rights of appeal are exhausted, against Subscriber to the extent such directly relates to a claim, action, lawsuit, or proceeding made or brought against Subscriber by a third party alleging the infringement or violation of such third party’s registered patent, trade secret, copyright, or trademark (each a “Subscriber Claim”) by way of Subscriber’s use of the Service that Licensor provides to Subscriber under this Agreement. This Section 10(a)(ii) shall not apply to the extent of any Free Trial but applies only to the extent the Parties enter into an Order for the Services hereunder.
  2. For purposes herein, each Party, when providing indemnification, will be termed an “Indemnifying Party” and each Party, when receiving the benefits of indemnification, shall be termed an “Indemnified Party.” The term “Indemnified Party” will include the other Party’s respective shareholders, officers, directors, administrators, managers, employees, servants and agents, and successors and assigns. The Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Section will be subject to the Indemnified Party providing the Indemnifying Party prompt notice of the event giving rise to an indemnity obligation, providing reasonable cooperation and assistance in the defense or settlement of any claim (at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense), and granting the Indemnifying Party control over the defense and settlement of the same. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to consent to any settlement or judgment that is binding upon the Indemnifying Party.
  3. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction makes a determination that the Service infringes on or otherwise violates any third-party registered patent, trade secret, copyright, or trademark, or if Licensor determines that the Service likely infringes or otherwise violates such third party’s foregoing intellectual property rights, Licensor, at its sole option and expense, will: (a) modify the allegedly infringing or violating portion of the Service so as to make it non-infringing and non-violating; (b) replace the allegedly infringing or violating Service, or any portion thereof, with a non-infringing and/or non-violating product having reasonably equivalent functionality; (c) obtain the right for Subscriber to continue using the allegedly infringing or violating portion of the Service; or (d) revoke the license to the allegedly infringing or violating Service and provide a pro-rata refund to Subscriber for all fees prepaid for the Service and not yet earned by Licensor.
  4. Licensor will have no obligation under this Agreement relating to any indemnification if a Subscriber Claim results from any of the following: (i) Subscriber’s continued use of the infringing or violating Service after Licensor first makes an applicable Correction available to Subscriber; (ii) Subscriber’s modification of the Service (including a third party acting on its behalf); or (iii) Subscriber’s use of the Service in any manner other than as permitted under this Agreement.
  5. Release. THIS IS A RELEASE OF YOUR RIGHTS. READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING: 

Subscriber (on behalf of itself and any of its Authorized Users), and each Authorized User on its own behalf (collectively “Releasing Parties”), agree that they have chosen voluntarily to fly on Aircraft utilizing the Service (“Released Activity”), and that the Released Activity involves risks, including without limitation, illnesses, injuries, and even death. Releasing Parties understand and agree that although the Service provides information for flight operations management, including but not limited to hazard reporting information, such information is based on data and/or information supplied by third parties, and Licensor does not control the accuracy or reliability of such information, nor does Licensor control how Subscriber or the Releasing Parties use or fail to use such information. Licensor cannot eliminate all risks or guarantee the safety of Releasing Parties or their property while they are participating in the Released Activity, and Releasing Parties agree to have made their own investigation of these risks, understand these risks, and assume them knowingly and willingly prior to participating in the Released Activity. Knowing the risks described above and in consideration of and return for the benefit of receiving the Service, Releasing Parties agree, for themselves and on behalf of their family, heirs, personal or legal representative(s), and assigns, to assume all risks and responsibilities surrounding Releasing Parties’ participation in the Released Activity and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, fully and irrevocably RELEASE, WAIVE and DISCHARGE Licensor, its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Releasees”) from and against any and all liability, claims, damages, suits and causes of action that the foregoing parties may now or hereafter have against Releasees arising out of Releasing Parties’ participation in the Released Activity, including, without limitation, injury, harm, or death to Releasing Parties, loss or damage to Releasing Parties’ property, any acts or failures to act negligence, mistake, or failure to supervise by the Releasees. Releasing Parties recognize that the release in this Section 10(b) (this “Release”) means that they are giving up, among other things, rights to sue the Releasees for injuries, damages, or losses that they may incur as a result of participating in the Released Activity. Releasing Parties also understand that this Release binds them, their heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns. Releasing Parties have read this entire Release, fully understand it and agree to be legally bound by it. 

  1. Limitation of Liability. LICENSOR AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND LICENSORS (“LICENSOR PARTIES”) WILL NOT BE LIABLE (JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY) TO SUBSCRIBER, AUTHORIZED USERS, OR ANY THIRD PARTY, FOR INDIRECT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF USE), CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, AND LOST REVENUES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “EXCLUDED DAMAGES”), WHETHER OR NOT CHARACTERIZED IN NEGLIGENCE, TORT, CONTRACT, OR OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ANY OF LICENSOR PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF OR COULD HAVE FORESEEN ANY OF THE EXCLUDED DAMAGES, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY FAILURE OF AN ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF A LIMITED REMEDY. IN NO EVENT WILL THE LIABILITY OF LICENSOR PARTIES ARISING OUT OF ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT FOR LICENSOR’S INDEMNIFICATION FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 10, WHETHER OR NOT CHARACTERIZED IN NEGLIGENCE, TORT (INCLUDING WRONGFUL DEATH AND SURVIVAL ACTIONS), CONTRACT, OR OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ANY OF LICENSOR PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF OR COULD HAVE FORESEEN ANY OF THE EXCLUDED DAMAGES, EXCEED THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT PAID BY SUBSCRIBER HEREUNDER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH CLAIM. FOR ANY LICENSOR INDEMNIFICATION FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 10, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LIABILITY OF LICENSOR PARTIES ARISING OUT OF ANY SUCH CLAIM EXCEED THREE TIMES THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT PAID BY SUBSCRIBER HEREUNDER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH CLAIM. IF ANY APPLICABLE AUTHORITY HOLDS ANY PORTION OF THIS SECTION TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN LICENSOR PARTIES’ LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST POSSIBLE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. SUBSCRIBER AGREES TO THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ANY AUTHORIZED USER, WHICH SUBSCRIBER SHALL REQUIRE TO AGREE IN WRITING TO THE SAME BEFORE USING THE SERVICE OR FLYING ON ANY AIRCRAFT UTILIZING THE SAME.
  2. Term; Termination. This Agreement shall be effective for the Term, unless terminated earlier in accordance herewith. Modifications in any ongoing Fees in connection with the Service shall be communicated to Subscriber no later than thirty (30) days prior to their effective date, and such modified Fees shall be deemed to replace those previously stated in the Order. This Agreement, including all Orders and Task Orders, may be terminated as follows: (a) if either Party commits a material breach of this Agreement and fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice thereof by the non-breaching Party (“Notice of Breach”), the Party giving such notice may then deliver a second written notice to the breaching Party terminating this Agreement, in which event this Agreement, and the licenses granted hereunder, will terminate on the date specified in such second notice; (b) if a receiver is appointed over any assets of either Party or if either Party makes any arrangement with its creditors or becomes subject to an administration order or goes into liquidation or anything equivalent to the foregoing under any jurisdiction or ceases to carry on business, the other may terminate by giving written notice with immediate effect, or (c) Licensor determines in its discretion to cease operating the Service for third-party subscribers and provides Subscriber thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of the same. If this Agreement is terminated before the end of its then-current term (as identified on the applicable Order or Task Order) for any reason other than by Subscriber under the foregoing clauses (a) or (b) or by Licensor under the foregoing (c) in this Section, then Subscriber will forfeit any minimum fees set forth in an Order owed to Licensor and pay to Licensor as liquidated damages (i) any such minimum fees and (ii) as applicable to any Order, the amount due by Subscriber for the previous calendar month times the number of months remaining in the Term (as identified on the applicable Order), or with respect to a Task Order, the Total Estimated Fees plus any additional amounts due by Subscriber under the applicable Task Order ((i) and (ii) are collectively the “Liquidated Damages”) within 30 days after such termination. The parties agree that the Liquidated Damages under this clause are not intended to be and will not be punitive in effect and that the Liquidated Damages are a genuine pre-estimate of loss (which may be difficult to ascertain) resulting from early termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Subscriber receives any notice of late payment under this Agreement in any form, written or electronic, from Licensor including any business division (e.g., Licensor’ Credit Department), such notice will be deemed to be a Notice of Breach.
  3. Confidentiality. Subscriber and Licensor understand and agree that in the performance of this Agreement each Party may have access to private or Confidential Information of the other Party, which either is marked as “confidential” or the receiving party should reasonably know under the circumstances that such information is confidential and/or proprietary information of the other Party. Each Party shall hold such Confidential Information in confidence and not, without the consent of the other, disclose it to a third party or use it for any purpose other than in performance of this Agreement. The disclosure of the Confidential Information to the receiving Party does not confer upon the receiving Party any license, interest, or right of any kind in or to the Confidential Information, except as provided under this Agreement. At all times and notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this Agreement, the receiving Party agrees that it will hold in strict confidence and not disclose to any third party the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party, except as approved in writing by the disclosing Party. The receiving Party will only permit access to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to those of its employees or authorized representatives having a need to know and who have signed confidentiality agreements or are otherwise bound by confidentiality obligations substantially similar to those contained in this Agreement. The receiving Party will be responsible to the disclosing Party for any third party’s use and disclosure of the Confidential Information that the receiving Party provides to such third party in accordance with this Agreement. The receiving Party will use at least the same degree of care it would use to protect its own Confidential Information of like importance, but in any case with no less than a reasonable degree of care, including maintaining information security standards for such Confidential Information as are commercially reasonable and customary for the type of Confidential Information. This obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to information that is: (i) generally available to the public through no act or omission of the receiving Party, (ii) becomes known to the receiving Party through a third party with no obligation of confidentiality, (iii) was in the receiving Party’s possession before receipt from the disclosing Party, (iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party, or (v) is required to be disclosed by law, court, or by any government or regulatory authority. If any Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by statute, rule, regulation, or order of any court of competent jurisdiction, before any such disclosure the receiving Party will provide notice to the disclosing Party reasonably sufficient to allow the disclosing Party the opportunity to apply for a protective order or other restriction regarding such disclosure. All Confidential Information will remain the exclusive property of the disclosing Party. No public announcement, press release, or communication concerning this Agreement shall be made without the prior consent of the other Party. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any valuable, non-public business information, including this Agreement and all matters discussed relating to this Agreement, that is designated or identified as confidential at the time of the disclosure or is by its nature clearly recognizable as confidential information to a reasonably prudent person with knowledge of the disclosing Party’s business and industry.
  4. Miscellaneous.
    1. Notice. All notices to a Party hereunder shall be in writing, and delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested, overnight courier service, or by email or facsimile with confirmation by the above described mailing methods to the address(es) set forth in this Agreement, or to a different address which a Party may give written notice of pursuant to this Section from time to time. Notice will be deemed delivered and received on the date it is actually received and acknowledged as such or as stated in written evidence of receipt from the applicable mail courier.
    2. Amendment. Licensor may modify these FlightSpan Terms and Conditions in its sole discretion by posting the revised terms to its website. You may be required to agree to such revised FlightSpan Terms and Conditions in order to continue using FlightSpan, but regardless, your continued use of FlightSpan or any other Service incorporating the FlightSpan Terms and Conditions after the effective date of such revisions constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to the revised terms.
