12. Fees and Payments
a. Fees. Customer will pay the fees set forth in the Order Form (“Fees”). After the first year of the Initial Term (as defined in Section 13), Intellicheck may increase the Fees for the Intellicheck Services annually by the greater of: a) five percent (5%); or (b) the percentage rate of increase equal to the change in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers as reported by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The pricing information provided in the Order Form or otherwise provided to Customer by Intellicheck is Intellicheck’s confidential information.
b. Payments. Customer will be invoiced for the amounts and prices set forth in the Order Form. Payments to Intellicheck will be made in United States dollars to the address provided by Intellicheck to Customer. All payments are due upon receipt of the invoice. If Customer fails to pay the recurring subscription fee required to maintain their selected type of subscription, Customer will not be permitted to further use the Intellicheck Platform and Customer will lose access to Intellicheck Services. All payment obligations are non-cancellable and all amounts paid are non-refundable, except for amounts paid in error that are not actually due under the applicable Order Form.
c. Past-Due Payments. Past due payments will be subject to a late payment charge calculated at an annual rate of five percentage points (5%) over the prime rate (as provided by the U.S. Federal Reserve) during delinquency. If the amount of such charge exceeds the maximum permitted by law, such charge will be reduced to such maximum. If Intellicheck incurs any fees or expenses for collection of monies owed, Customer will be responsible for reimbursing Intellicheck for any such expenses. In any case such payment is not paid in full when due, in addition to any other remedy otherwise available to Intellicheck, Intellicheck may impose interest on overdue Fees and other charges at the rate of 1.5% per month (or, if less, the maximum amount permitted by law) until Customer is current on all payments. If payment is not received within 30 days after an invoice is sent to Customer by Intellicheck, Intellicheck reserves the right to terminate access to the Intellicheck Services, at its sole discretion, until payment is satisfied. In the event the account becomes delinquent and satisfactory arrangements have not been made for payment, Customer agrees to pay all collections costs and reasonable attorney fees.
d. Taxes. Customer will bear all taxes, duties, levies and similar charges (and any related interest and penalties), however designated, imposed as a result of the existence or operation of these Terms. Fees due to Intellicheck under these Terms do not include U.S. or foreign sales and use taxes. If Intellicheck is required by applicable law to collect and remit such taxes based on the Intellicheck Services provided to Customer under these Terms, Intellicheck will, to the extent reasonably feasible, include such taxes on the invoice to Customer in accordance with these Terms. Notwithstanding the exclusion of any U.S. or foreign sales and use tax from any invoice, Customer is solely responsible for all U.S. and foreign sales and use taxes imposed on the Intellicheck Services provided to Customer under these Terms. Customer shall indemnify Intellicheck for any claims against Intellicheck for all such taxes. Customer will not be responsible for or pay any penalties or interest imposed with respect to taxes Intellicheck collects from Customer but fails to properly calculate or remit, but will be responsible for the amount of any such taxes. Intellicheck will be responsible for all taxes based upon its net income.
13. Term and Termination
a. Term. These Terms will commence the earlier of the date the Customer, or Employee User, first registers for or otherwise accesses or uses the Intellicheck Platform, or as otherwise specified in an order form, and will remain in full force and effect for an initial period of two (2) years (unless specified otherwise in an order form) or until terminated in accordance with this Section 13 (“Initial Term”). Thereafter, this Agreement will automatically renew for one successive year (“Renewal Term”) unless either party provides thirty (30) days written notice of termination prior to the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, or until terminated in accordance with this Section 13.
b. Termination. Either party may terminate these Terms if any of the following events occur: (i) the other party materially breaches the Terms (after receiving written notice of such breach and fails to cure that breach within 30 days); (ii) the other party’s activities under these Terms violate applicable law; or (iii) the other party becomes insolvent, enters into bankruptcy or other similar proceedings, or attempts to make an assignment for the benefit of creditors. In the event of a termination, subject to these Terms, either party will be eligible to seek those remedies available to it in accordance with applicable laws. Intellicheck may terminate this Agreement at any time, effective as of the date provided in the termination notice.
c. Effect of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of these Terms, (i) all of Customer’s rights to use the Intellicheck Platform will immediately cease; (ii) Customer will immediately cease all use of the Intellicheck Platform and (iii) Customer must immediately un- install and delete or destroy all copies of the Intellicheck Platform that remain in the Customer’s possession or control and cease using the Intellicheck Platform. Intellicheck will have no obligation to continue to store or permit Customer to retrieve any data, content, information, or any other materials that the Customer stores on the Intellicheck Platform following any termination of these Terms. Termination under this section does not excuse any of Customer’s obligations to pay any Fees specified in Section 12.
d. Survival. The provisions regarding fees and payment obligations, licensing, feedback and market, terms and termination, disclaimer of warranties, limitations of liability, indemnification, and jurisdiction and applicable law will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms for any reason. All other rights and obligations of the parties will cease upon termination of these Terms.
14. Accurate Records
Customer will keep full, clear, and accurate records with respect to their use of the Intellicheck Platform and will furnish any information which Intellicheck may reasonably prescribe from time to time to enable Intellicheck to ascertain whether Customer is in full compliance with these Terms. Customer will retain such records for at least five (5) years. Intellicheck and its agents will have the right to make examinations, during normal business hours, of all records and accounts bearing upon the amounts of fees payable to it under these Terms. Prompt adjustment will be made by the proper party to compensate for any errors or omissions disclosed by any such examination. The cost of any examination will be paid for by Intellicheck unless the examination reveals an underpayment by Customer.

Customer grants to Intellicheck a nonexclusive royalty-free right and license to use Customer’s name and logos to identify Customer as an Intellicheck customer on any physical or digital marketing materials, commercial presentations and on the Intellicheck website. This license will survive the termination of these Terms and does not apply to Employee Users.
16. Data Security
During the Term of this agreement, Intellicheck agrees to implement reasonable security measures to protect the Customer Data and will, at a minimum, utilize industry standard security procedures.
Customer and Intellicheck, each agree that at all times during the Term of this agreement, each will be in compliance with all prevailing local, state, or national laws in reference to general data protection and data privacy including those laws, policies and regulations dealing with the protection of personally identifiable information.

17. Compliance with Laws
Customer will comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations and ordinances governing its use of the Intellicheck Platform, including applicable privacy laws, and Customer will not use the Intellicheck Platform to violate any applicable federal, state, or local law, regulation or ordinance.

In the event of any third party claim that the Intellicheck Platform or Customer’s use or possession of the Intellicheck Platform (i) infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, (ii) results in any product liability claims; (iii) results in any claims that the Intellicheck Platform fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; or (iv) results in any claims under consumer protection or similar legislation, Intellicheck, and not any App Store operator, will be solely responsible for responding to and resolving such claims. Note that the warranty disclaimers and limitation of liability set forth in Sections 22 and 23 apply to any such claims.
If a third party claims that any portion of the Intellicheck Platform or Intellicheck Services directly infringe or misappropriate any U.S. Intellectual Property Rights, Intellicheck will (as long as Customer is not in default under these Terms or any other agreement with Intellicheck) defend Customer against such claim at Intellicheck’s expense and pay all damages that a court finally awards, provided that Customer promptly notifies Intellicheck in writing of the claim, allows Intellicheck to control response to the claim, and cooperates with Intellicheck in the defense of a claim and any related settlement negotiations. If such a claim is made or appears possible, Intellicheck may, at its option, secure for Customer the right to continue to use the affected portion of the Intellicheck Platform or Intellicheck Services, modify or replace the affected portion of the Intellicheck Platform or Intellicheck Services so that it is non- infringing, or, if neither of the foregoing options is reasonable in Intellicheck’s judgment, require Customer to forego or return the affected portions of the Intellicheck Platform in its possession (if any) or cease use of the affected portions of the Intellicheck Services for a credit equal to the portion of previously paid fees allocable to the remaining term of the affected Intellicheck Platform or Intellicheck Services. However, Intellicheck has no obligation for any claim based on the combination, operation, or use of the Intellicheck Platform with any product, data or apparatus not provided by Intellicheck or the unauthorized or non-compliant use of the Intellicheck Platform. THIS PARAGRAPH STATES INTELLICHECK’S SOLE LIABILITY AND ENTIRE OBLIGATION TO CUSTOMER AND CUSTOMER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT.
