8.3  Procedure. The indemnifying party’s obligations as set forth above are expressly conditioned upon each of the foregoing: (a) the indemnified party promptly notifying the indemnifying party in writing of any threatened or actual claim, provided, however, that failure to give prompt notice will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability hereunder (except to the extent the indemnifying party has suffered actual material prejudice by such failure); (b) the indemnifying party having sole control of the defense or settlement of any claim or suit (provided the indemnifying party may not settle any claim without the indemnified party’s consent unless it unconditionally releases the indemnified party of all liability); and (c) the indemnified party (at the indemnifying party’s expense) reasonably cooperating with the indemnifying party to facilitate the settlement or defense of any claim.

9.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

9.1 LIFE SUPPORT’S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO SUBSCRIBER AND ITS AUTHORIZED USERS AS A RESULT OF ALL CLAIMS ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT, WHETHER SUCH CLAIM IS BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY SUBSCRIBER TO LIFE SUPPORT HEREUNDER FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE DATE ON WHICH THE FIRST EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY OCCURRED.

9.2 IN NO EVENT WILL LIFE SUPPORT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT, WHETHER SUCH CLAIM IS BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF LIFE SUPPORT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

9.3 NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 9 WILL OPERATE TO EXCLUDE OR RESTRICT LIFE SUPPORT’S LIABILITY (IF ANY) TO SUBSCRIBER OR ITS AUTHORIZED USERS FOR ANY MATTER FOR WHICH IT IS NOT PERMITTED BY LAW TO EXCLUDE OR LIMIT ITS LIABILITY, INCLUDING FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM LIFE SUPPORT’S NEGLIGENCE.

9.4 THIS LIMITATION UPON LIABILITY SHALL APPLY WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN BREACHED OR HAVE PROVEN INEFFECTIVE.

10.  TERMINATION

10.1 Termination. Either party may, effective immediately upon written notice to the other party, terminate the Agreement (which automatically terminates any applicable SOW or Change Order) if the other party: (a) where curable, fails to cure any material breach of the Agreement within thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach; (b) seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors arrangement, composition or comparable proceeding, or if any such proceeding is instituted against such party (and not dismissed within thirty (30) days thereafter). If the breach is not susceptible to cure, then the non-breaching party may terminate the Agreement with immediate effect upon written notice to the other party. For greater certainty, “material breach” shall include a violation of applicable law, infringement or misappropriation of the intellectual property or privacy rights of the other party or any third-party. Failure to attain service levels as stated in the SLA shall not constitute a breach of the Agreement and the award of service level credits is Subscriber’s sole remedy and Life Support’s sole liability for any such failure. Effective upon seven (7) days prior written notice, Subscriber may terminate a SOW or Change Order for its convenience and in that event Life Support shall refund to Subscriber any pre-paid, unused Fees for that SOW or Change Order.

10.2  User Data Portability and Deletion. All User Data hosted and stored on the Platform will be made reasonably available to User for export or download during the Term and for a period of thirty (30) days after the expiry or effective date of termination of the Agreement. After such thirty (30) day period, Life Support will have no obligation to maintain or provide the User Data and will delete or destroy it in accordance with its standard practices unless legally prohibited from doing so and, upon request, an officer of Life Support will certify the same in writing. Life Support retains the right to refuse to provide User access to User Data if advised to prohibit such access by a qualified health professional and shall incur no liability as a result of acting upon such advice from same qualified health professional.

10.3  Effects of Expiry or Termination. Immediately upon the expiry or termination of the Agreement, (a) all applicable rights granted to either party shall terminate; (b) User will cease to use the Services; and (c) (subject to Section 10.2) each party will return or destroy Confidential Information of the other party and, upon request and where applicable, an officer of such party will certify the same in writing. Unless expressly stated otherwise herein, the termination of the Agreement or any SOW or Change Order shall not affect any rights or obligations which have accrued under the Agreement and shall not relieve either party from its obligations which may have arisen before such termination.

10.4  Suspension Rights. In addition to its other rights under the Agreement, Life Support may, acting in its sole discretion, immediately suspend User’s access to the Services, until the situation giving rise to the suspension has been remedied to Life Support’s satisfaction, where: (a) User’s use of the Services poses a reasonable risk of harm or liability to Life Support or any third-party, including a Patient, and User is not taking appropriate action; (b) there has been a violation of Sections 2.3 (Restrictions), 2.5 (User Responsibilities), 5 (Confidentiality) and 7.3 (Subscriber’s Representations and Warranties); (c) User is using the Services in violation of applicable law and/or fails to cooperate with Life Support’s investigation into any such alleged violation; (d) any payment due and owing by Subscriber to Life Support is past due; or (e) a suspension is required by applicable law or governmental authority. Any such suspension by Life Support shall not relieve Subscriber of any of its payment obligations hereunder. Where reasonably practicable in the circumstances and unless prohibited by law, Life Support will, prior to suspending the Services, inform User of its right to suspend Services and its basis for asserting its suspension rights as soon as reasonably practicable.

11.  PRACTITIONER DECISION MAKING. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms of Use to the contrary, Practitioner will remain at all times solely and exclusively responsible for its own decision-making and accountable for its own judgment regardless of how Practitioner utilizes the Mental Health Check Assessment provided by Life Support. In addition, Life Support will not be liable in respect of the following: (a) any decisions made by Practitioner in reliance upon the Mental Health Check Assessment and a Patient’s answers or responses thereto, or as a result of the performance of or reliance upon any of the Services provided by Life Support, or (b) Practitioner’s misuse of the Mental Health Check Assessment and any Patient’s answers or responses thereto provided to Practitioner in connection with the Services.

12.  WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION RIGHTS. WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES AND/OR THE AGREEMENT USER HEREBY EXPRESSLY GIVES UP THEIR RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS IN ANY LAWSUIT INCLUDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS INVOLVING ANY SUCH DISPUTE.

13. GENERAL

13.1  Export Compliance. The Services, other Life Support technology, and derivatives of them may be subject to export laws and regulations of Canada, the United States, and other jurisdictions. User represents that it is not named on any Canadian or U.S. government denied-party list. User may not access or use the Services in a country named on Canada’s Area Control List under Canada’s Export and Import Permits Act, in a U.S. embargoed country or region (as of the Effective Date being Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria or Crimea), by persons or entities prohibited from receiving U.S. exports, or in violation of any Canadian or U.S. export law or regulation.

13.2  Governing Law. The Agreement and each of the documents contemplated by or delivered under or in connection with the Agreement have been made in and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The application of the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

13.3  Forum Selection. Any action or proceeding between the Parties will be resolved exclusively by the courts of the Province of Alberta in the City of Calgary. Each party hereby irrevocably accepts and submits to the exercise of personal jurisdiction over such party by such courts, agrees that venue shall be proper in such courts and irrevocably waives and releases any and all defenses in such courts based on lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue and/or forum non conveniens. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under the Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover costs and legal fees on a full indemnity basis.

13.4  Third-Party Beneficiaries. There are no third-party beneficiaries under this Agreement.

13.5   Assignment. Neither party shall assign the Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign the Agreement to any affiliate or to its successor in connection with any transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which all or a substantial part of the assigning party’s business (or the business which is the subject matter of the Agreement) is assigned to, or otherwise results in forming all or part of the business of such entity, whether by way of reorganization, merger, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, contribution, transfer, sale, change in control or otherwise by operation of law, conditional upon (a) it promptly notifies the non-assigning party in writing of the assignment; (b) the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of the Agreement and assume the obligations of the assignor under the Agreement; (c) the assignor is not in default under any of the terms of the Agreement; and (d) if Subscriber is the assignor, there are no payments past due. The Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

13.6  Force Majeure. Except for any obligation to make payments, any delay or failure of any party to perform its obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be excused if, and only to the extent that, the delay or failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event, provided that such party uses reasonable efforts to perform that obligation all the same. In the event that the Force Majeure Event lasts for thirty (30) days or longer, the unaffected party will have the option to terminate the Agreement upon written notice to the Affected Party. Notwithstanding anything else in the Agreement, if a Force Majeure Event occurs on the part of Life Support, Subscriber will have no obligation to pay Fees for Services that Life Support fails to provide in accordance with this Agreement. Where Services are partially performed or provided or Service Levels are not met because of a Force Majeure Event, the Fees for the duration of the Force Majeure Event will be adjusted on an equitable basis considering, among other things, the duration and level of Service and Service Level degradation.

13.7  Remedies. User acknowledges that the Services contain Confidential Information of essential value to Life Support, including trade secrets, and that any actual or threatened breach by User of its obligations with respect to the intellectual property rights of Life Support will constitute immediate, irreparable harm to Life Support for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy. In such case, Life Support will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief without having to prove the sufficiency of damages and without the requirement of posting bond or other form of security.

13.8  Relationship of the Parties. Subscriber and its Authorized Users shall be solely and exclusively in control of all aspects of the provision of health care services, including but not limited to the practice of medicine or mental health. All Patients who are granted access to and use of the Services shall be or become patients of a Practitioner, not an employee of Life Support. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Life Support shall not have or exercise any control or direction over the manner or methods with which a Practitioner provisions medical or mental health care services or interfere in any way with the exercise of any Practitioner’s professional judgment regarding the provision of such services. In no event shall Life Support be deemed to be engaged in the practice of medical or mental health care services. The parties are independent contractors and nothing in the Agreement shall be deemed to create any partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between the parties. Neither party is, nor will either party hold itself out to be, vested with a y power or right to bind the other party contractually or act on behalf of the other party as a broker, agent or otherwise.

13.9  Severability; Waiver. In the event any provision of the Agreement is held by a court of law or other governmental agency to be void or unenforceable, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by law, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. No delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy by either party hereunder shall constitute a waiver of that right. No waiver of any provision of the Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the waiving party.

13.10  Survival.  Sections 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.11, 7.12, 8 and 12 through 15 of the Service Agreement and Sections 2.2, 2.4(b), 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6.1, 6.2, 7.2,7.4, 8, 9, 10.1 through 10.3, 11, 12 and this Section 13 together with any provisions necessary for the interpretation and construction of the Agreement shall survive and continue notwithstanding any expiry or termination of the Agreement.

13.11  Entire Agreement. The Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous understandings or communications (oral or written) regarding such subject matter. In the event of a conflict between the terms in the Service Agreement, SOW, Change Order and these Terms, the terms contained in these Terms shall control unless expressly stated otherwise in the applicable Service Agreement, SOW or Change Order. The Agreement may be modified only by a written amendment executed by an authorized representative of each party, except that Life Support may update or amend the policies incorporated into these Terms with a hyperlink and Subscriber’s consent to any such updates or amendment may be provided by Subscriber’s duly authorized representative by e-mail or by online acceptance of the revised terms. Life Support shall provide Subscriber with electronic notification of any changes to these Terms and Subscriber shall have thirty (30) days from the date of the notice to notify Life Support that it does not accept the changes, failing which Subscriber and its Authorized Users shall be deemed to have accepted the changes. For clarity, Life Support shall notify Subscriber of any material updates and amendments to its polices by electronic notification, email, or such other similar method as Life Support may utilize from time to time to communicate of such matters.

13.12  Extended Meanings. In the Agreement,

a) Words importing the singular number only shall include the plural and vice versa;

b) Words importing the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa;

c) The headings are intended solely for convenience of reference and will be given no effect in the interpretation or construction of the Agreement;

d) Wherever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” (or similar variations) are used, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation” and the words following “include”, “includes”, or “including” (or similar variations) shall not be considered to set forth an exhaustive list;

e) The words “herein”, “hereof “, and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to the Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section or other subdivision of, or Schedule to, the Agreement; and,

f) The language in each Service Agreement, SOW, Change Order and the terms of this Agreement shall be in all cases construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party to the Agreement. Any rule of construction that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party to the Agreement shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Agreement.

13.13 Further Assurances. The parties shall execute and deliver to each other any additional instruments and take any additional steps that may be required to give full effect to the intent expressed in the Agreement.

13.14 Exclusive Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly set out in the Agreement, the remedies set forth in the Agreement comprise the exclusive remedies available to Subscriber at law or in equity.
