In the event that the Software or any part thereof is likely to, in Biscom’s sole opinion, or does, become the subject of an IP Rights Infringement-related Claim, and Biscom cannot, at its option and expense, (a) procure for Customer the right to continue using the infringing Software, or any part thereof, or (b) modify the infringing Software, or any part thereof, to make it non‑infringing, or (c) supply a non-infringing alternative that does not materially negatively impact the functionality provided by the infringing Software, then Biscom may terminate this Agreement and/or any licenses to infringing Software, upon written notice to Customer, and Customer will stop using the infringing Software and return such infringing Software to Biscom upon Biscom’s request, at Biscom’s expense. In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 10.1, Biscom will refund fees paid as follows:

• For Subscription Licensed Software: Biscom will refund to Customer (or the applicable Reseller on Customer’s behalf) any pre-paid fees for the unexpired portion of the remaining Term for the terminated Subscription Licensed Software, calculated on a pro-rated basis.

• For Perpetually Licensed Software: Biscom will refund to Customer (or the applicable Reseller on Customer’s behalf) a portion of the fees actually paid to Biscom for licensing and implementation of the Perpetually Licensed Software, calculated by depreciating such fees on a straight-line basis over a three (3) year period starting on the date of the initial delivery of the Software to Customer.

Biscom will have no liability for any Claim or demand arising from (i) an allegation that does not state with specificity that the Products or Services are the basis of the Claim; (ii) the use or combination of the Products or Services or any part thereof with software, hardware, or other materials not developed or provided by Biscom if the Products or Services or use thereof would not infringe without such combination; (iii) the use of any other release or version of the Products or Services than the most current release or version of any Products or Services provided by Biscom; (iv) modification of the Products or Services by a party other than Biscom, if the use of unmodified Products or Services would not constitute infringement; (v) a breach by Customer of any obligation under this Agreement or a use of the Products or Services by Customer or any user in a manner outside the scope of any right granted herein or not in accordance with the applicable documentation if the Claim would not have arisen but for such breach or unauthorized use; (vi) the Customer Data; or (vii) an allegation made against Customer prior to the execution of this Agreement or any allegation based upon any action by Customer prior to the execution of this Agreement. The foregoing states Biscom’s entire liability and Customer’s exclusive remedy for IP Rights Infringement under this Agreement.

• Indemnification by Customer. Customer will defend, indemnify, and hold Biscom, its Affiliates, and its/their officers, directors, and employees (“Biscom Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any loss or damage (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with Claims brought against Biscom Indemnitees that: (i) allege that Customer Data infringes the intellectual property or privacy rights of, or has otherwise harmed, a third party; (ii) are based upon any user’s use of the Products and Services not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or not in accordance with the applicable documentation, or in violation of Section 14 (“General Conditions on Use”); or (iii) based on any failure or alleged failure of Customer to comply with any applicable law, rule, or regulation in connection with its use of the Products and Services.

• Indemnification Process. The foregoing indemnification obligations are conditioned on the indemnified party: (a) notifying the indemnifying party promptly in writing of the Claim and request for indemnification, (b) reasonably cooperating and assisting in such defense of the Claim at the indemnifying party’s expense, and (c) giving sole control of the defense of the Claim and any related settlement negotiations to the indemnifying party, with the understanding that the indemnifying party may not settle any claim in a manner that admits guilt or otherwise prejudices the indemnified party, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent. The indemnified party will have the right to participate in its defense of the Claim and hire counsel of its choice, at its own expense.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Biscom may temporarily suspend Customer’s and any end user’s access to any portion or all of the Services if: (i) Biscom reasonably determines that (a) there is a threat or attack on any of the Services or Biscom IP; (b) Customer’s or any user’s use of the Services, or the Customer Data, disrupts or poses a security risk to the Services or Biscom IP or to any other customer or vendor of Biscom; (c) Customer, or any end user, is using the Services for fraudulent or illegal activities; (d) subject to applicable law, Customer has ceased to continue its business in the ordinary course, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar disposition of its assets, or become the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or similar proceeding; or (e) Biscom’s provision of the Services to Customer or any user is prohibited by applicable law; (ii) any vendor of Biscom has suspended or terminated Biscom’s access to or use of any third-party services or products required to enable Customer to access the Services; or (iii) for nonpayment (any such suspension described in subclause (i), (ii), or (iii), a “Service Suspension”). Biscom shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice of any Service Suspension to Customer and to provide updates regarding resumption of access to the Services following any Service Suspension. Biscom shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume providing access to the Services as soon as reasonably possible after the event giving rise to the Service Suspension is cured. Biscom will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits), or any other consequences that Customer or any user may incur as a result of a Service Suspension.

15. Confidentiality. 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. However, Confidential Information will 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; (c) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of, or reference to, the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.  Except as otherwise permitted in writing by Disclosing Party, Receiving Party will (i) 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); (ii) not disclose or use any Confidential Information of Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement; and (iii) limit access to Confidential Information of Disclosing Party to those of its employees, contractors, legal advisors, and agents who need such access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as stringent to those in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided that Receiving Party: (A) uses reasonable efforts to minimize any such disclosure and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and reasonably assists the Disclosing Party in preventing or restricting the disclosure; (B) where permitted by applicable law, gives the Disclosing Party prompt written notice of such requirement to disclose to enable the Disclosing Party (at its cost) to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy; and (C) uses reasonable efforts to require the recipient of such Confidential Information to preserve the confidential nature of the Confidential Information once disclosed.

 Cloud Fax Service

Additional Terms and Conditions Schedule

These Cloud Fax Service Additional Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”), set forth additional terms and conditions of Customer’s use of Cloud Fax Services (as further described below) in addition to and in connection with the provisions of the Biscom End User Services and Software License Agreement or similar agreement (the “Agreement”) between Biscom and Customer (also referred to as “you” and “your” throughout).  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.

1. Description of Cloud Fax Services.

• FAXCOM Anywhere. Biscom offers the FAXCOM Anywhere Service (“FAXCOM Anywhere”) to its existing FAXCOM Anywhere Customers and end-users at its website https://www.faxcomanywhere.com/ . The FAXCOM Anywhere Service is a cloud faxing service using cloud fax (SMTP and Web) and hybrid faxing. Customer’s use of the Software provided by Biscom related to the FAXCOM Service shall be governed pursuant to the Agreement.

• Concord Cloud Fax. A cloud fax service supporting incoming or outgoing fax transmissions (“Concord Cloud Fax”). Outgoing Fax service is defined as an individual fax message sent to Concord by the Customer for delivery to a specified fax number on the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Concord Cloud Fax supports the submission of outbound faxes via SMTP, file transfer or Web Services API. Inbound Fax is a service whereby the Cloud Fax Service receives a G3 fax and delivers said faxes in either TIFF or PDF format, as requested by Customer, using SMTP or via the Concord Web Services API or via FTP/FTPS (File Transfer Protocol).

• FAXCOM Anywhere and Concord Cloud Fax may be referred to individually or collectively as the “Cloud Fax Service”.

2. End User Responsibilities.

2.1       You are fully and solely responsible for your use of the Cloud Fax Services. You acknowledge that the Cloud Fax Services are a passive conduit of information and that Biscom has no independent knowledge of the destination nor the content of data that you may send through the Cloud Fax Services.

• You are responsible for utilizing best practices to protect your protected health information (“PHI”), personally identifiable information (“PII”) and other sensitive data. You shall employ policies and procedures to prevent the intentional or inadvertent submission of PHI, PII, or other sensitive information in emails, fax coversheets, free form custom fields, support requests, or other communications related to the Cloud Fax Services.

• The Cloud Fax Services are provided for use by end-users exclusively as a tool to assist in document workflow and data management. You are responsible for having the Cloud Fax Services configured to meet your needs consistent with recommended best practices and for the decisions you make based on your data. The Cloud Fax Services do not engage in any decision making or professional determinations based on the data processed for you or on your behalf.

3. FAXCOM Anywhere Additional Terms.

• Fax Storage and Retention.

• Hybrid Account Storage. If you are subscribed to an FAXCOM Hybrid Account, Biscom does not store any faxes on our hosted sites, and the service is a transient service, meaning once faxes are received at our data centers, they are immediately sent to the Customer’s site for distribution and storage.
• Cloud Account Storage. If you are subscribed to a FAXCOM Anywhere Cloud Account, your faxes are either delivered to you via email (SMTP), or you access your faxes through a web client or programmatically through a web service. Faxes delivered through email are transient and immediately sent to the user without delay. Web client and web service users access faxes that are stored by Biscom. Faxes that are stored with Biscom will be limited to 90 days of storage and may be removed after that.
• Storage Generally. Regardless of your level of service, you acknowledge that Biscom may cease offering this storage feature or change its practices and/or limitations concerning this feature at any time, including, without limitation, changing the maximum number of days that fax messages will be retained, the maximum number of messages stored at any one time, and the maximum storage space allotted on Biscom’s servers on your behalf. You further agree that Biscom has no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any failure or malfunction of this feature, whether or not such failure prevents you from utilizing the feature, including but not limited to the storage or deletion of any faxes.

4. Concord Cloud Fax Additional Terms.

• Storage and Retention Settings. Customer is responsible for reviewing and confirming all rentention settings applicable to Concord Cloud Fax. Default settings will apply if Customer takes no action to reset its retention settings.

• Proprietary Rights. The Concord Cloud Fax Services and all materials contained therein, including, without limitation, software, images, text, graphics, illustrations, logos, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, photographs, audio, and videos (the “Concord Content”), and all intellectual property rights related thereto, are the exclusive property of Concord III, LLC. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing in these Terms and Conditions or the End User Agreement shall confer or be deemed to confer on Customer, implied or otherwise, any rights or licenses in such intellectual property, and you agree not to sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adapt, edit or create derivative works from any Concord Content. Use of the Concord Content for any purpose not expressly permitted by these Terms and Conditions is strictly prohibited. Use of any software made available for download from the Concord Cloud Fax Services is further governed by terms of the specific end user license agreement, if any, which accompanies or is included with the software

• Suspension and Termination. Customer’s access to the Cloud Fax Services may be terminated or suspended without notice or liability if Customer or its end-user(s) utilize, or are suspected of utilizing, the Services in violation of law or of these Terms and Conditions.

• Overtime Charges. The average fax page is sent within 60 seconds. However, there are circumstances outside the control of Biscom that may extend this reasonable transmission time. These reasons include the graphic or textual intensity of the document and the speed of the fax devices used in the transmission of the fax. For those fax pages sent that take more than 72 seconds of transmission time per page, “Overtime Charges” may apply. Overtime Charges are incurred in six-second increments for transmission time in excess of 72 seconds and are billed at one-tenth of the Customer’s applicable per-page rate. For example, if the per‐page rate to the U.S. is $0.10 and a fax page takes 78 seconds to send, Customer (or as applicable, Customer’s Reseller) will be billed an additional $0.01. The resulting cost for the 78‐second fax page would equal $0.11.

• International Faxing.
  • Rates for the delivery of faxes to Hawaii, Alaska, and international destinations vary and are subject to change without prior notice. Contact your Reseller more information about international rates applicable to your fax service. Outbound faxing to certain international destinations outside the 011 international call prefix may be disabled by default and can be enabled by contacting premium support at premiumsupport@concord.net.
  • Outbound faxing to international destinations outside the 011 international call prefix is disabled by default and can be enabled by contacting Premium Support at premiumsupport@concord.net. Outbound faxing to certain countries identified in the International Rates Schedule provided in the Service Agreement remains blocked for security and fraud-prevention purposes. Customers who wish to have outbound faxing access to a specific number in blocked countries should consult with Premium Support. SPF (Sender Policy Framework) must be in place and enabled before outbound faxing to international destinations may be utilize

5. Fax Numbers and Porting.

• Fax Numbers. The Direct Inward Dial “DID” numbers and the toll-free numbers assigned to Customer by Biscom or its Affiliates for the use of the Cloud Fax Services are granted to the Customer for its exclusive use during the term of the applicable agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, ownership of these numbers may be transferred to Customer upon Customer’s request and Biscom’s receipt of payment of all associated porting and outstanding Service fees.  If Customer ports its existing numbers to Biscom during implementation of the Cloud Fax Services, Customer may port them away from Biscom upon Biscom’s receipt of all associated porting and outstanding Service fees.

• All applicable porting fees must be paid to the applicable Reseller. Customer should contact the Reseller for detailed pricing on applicable porting fees. Biscom is under no obligation to fulfill port requests until it has received payment of all associated porting fees.

• The porting process can be lengthy; if you would like to maintain your Cloud Fax Services during the porting process, you must maintain your Account in an active status and not terminate your Account until the porting out is complete. Regardless of when the port out is complete, you will continue to be responsible to pay all applicable Fees with respect to the telephone numbers until you formally terminate your Cloud Fax Service. You understand and agree that even if you satisfy the requirements set forth in this Section, technical or procedural difficulties or interruptions may occur, including difficulties and interruptions caused by third party carriers and outside of Biscom’s control, when attempting to port out these numbers and such difficulties or interruptions may prevent your new carrier from porting the numbers. Biscom is not responsible for such technical or procedural difficulties or interruptions, and you will receive no refund of your administrative fee.
