Harqen may use Customer Interview Materials to further improve and optimize Harqen Interview Expertise provided that Harqen does not disclose the complete Customer Interview Materials to any third party (except for Harqen’s service providers for purposes of providing the Voice Advantage Service to Customer) or disclose the fact that Customer uses any particular interview question. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Harqen makes no representations or warranties as to the Customer Interview Materials’ compliance with Applicable Law or the ability of Customer to comply with Applicable Law in its use of the Customer Interview Materials.
• Customer acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall confer on Customer any intellectual property or other rights in, or to any patents, copyrights, database rights, trade names, trademarks (whether registered or unregistered) or any other rights or licenses in respect of the Voice Advantage Service, the Software or the Site, except as specifically set forth in Section 4. Except as specifically set forth in Section 4, Harqen expressly reserves all right, title and interest in and to the Voice Advantage Service, the Software and the Site and, together with its licensors, owns all intellectual property rights in, relating to and arising out of the Voice Advantage Service, the Site or the Software.

• Customer acknowledges and understands that there are laws that govern the recording of telephone or other conversations. Customer, and not Harqen, is responsible for determining whether it is lawful to use any recording feature available via the Voice Advantage Service for Customer’s proposed use, with respect to the content of the interviews and calls being conducted on the Voice Advantage Service. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that in each instance when Customer or a User utilizes any recording feature available as part of the Voice Advantage Service, Customer shall and shall cause its Users to provide notice to and obtain the prior consent of each person who is being recorded to such recording and to the sharing of such recording with appropriate personnel within Customer and, if applicable, with any client of Customer on behalf of which Customer is conducting interviews using the Voice Advantage Service.

Fees and Payments

• Subject to Section 11, Customer agrees to pay all applicable fees as described in the Subscription Form (the "Fees").
• Unless otherwise specified in the Voice Advantage Subscription Form, all Fees shall be calculated and payable in U.S. Dollars. Customer agrees to provide Harqen with valid and updated credit card information, or such other payment means as Harqen agrees in the Subscription Form. If Customer provides a credit card, Customer authorizes Harqen to charge such credit card for all services listed in the Subscription Form, and any renewal subscription term(s) as set forth herein. If Customer provides Harqen with a credit card that expires during the term of this Agreement, Harqen reserves the right to charge fees to any renewal card issued to Customer as a replacement. Such charges shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Subscription Form. For any upgrade or downgrade in plan level, Customer shall be charged the new rate on Customer’s next billing cycle as specified in the revised Subscription Form. If the Subscription Form specifies that payment shall be by a method other than a credit card, Harqen shall invoice Customer in advance. Unless otherwise stated in the Subscription Form, invoiced charges are due thirty (30) days from the invoice date.
• Except for charges under reasonable and good faith dispute, in the event of late payment of the Fees, Harqen shall be entitled to charge Customer a late fee at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date actually paid.
• Unless otherwise stated, Harqen’s fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including but not limited to value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, "Taxes"). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with the provision of services under this Agreement. If Harqen has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this Section 3.4, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer, unless Harqen is provided a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Harqen is solely responsible for taxes based on Harqen’s income, property and employees.

Ownership Of Data; Information Rights And Responsibilities; Termination Assistance

• Subject to Customer’s payment of all Fees and other charges due pursuant to this Agreement, Customer shall be the owner of all data recorded or otherwise created or stored in the course of the use of the Voice Advantage Service by the Users or the Administrator (collectively, the "User Data"); provided, however, that User Data shall not include any Customer Interview Materials. Customer gives Harqen permission to record, copy, transmit, use, store, modify and otherwise use the User Data, but only for purposes of providing the Voice Advantage Service to Customer and optimizing the Voice Advantage Service. User Data shall not be disclosed by Harqen to any third parties except to Harqen’s service providers. Harqen shall be responsible for each of its service provider’s use of the User Data, including ensuring that such service providers comply with the restrictions in this Agreement with respect to the User Data. In addition, Customer gives Harqen permission to search User Data in order to create Aggregate Analytics Data (defined below) from the User Data. Aggregate Analytics Data is created by Harqen independently of the Voice Advantage Service and the Parties agree that Harqen is the sole owner of the Aggregated Analytics Data. "Aggregate Analytics Data" means (a) aggregated data elements derived from Customer’s and User’s use of the Voice Advantage Service and the Customer Interview Materials that do not identify any individual, company or business or disclose the subject matter of or recorded responses included in User Data and (b) any results from analysis of the User Data. For example, personal information such as names, email addresses and telephone numbers are not included in Aggregate Analytics Data (because they identify individuals or their companies), but call metrics such as interview duration, interview completion rates, response rates to interview questions, frequency of interview questions and geographic locations of interview respondents constitute Aggregate Analytics Data.
• In the event that this Agreement is terminated by either party in accordance with Section 11, and provided that Customer is not in default under this Agreement at the time of Customer’s request, Customer may request that Harqen assist Customer in the transfer of the User Data to another party, which transfer shall be at made Customer’s sole expense. If Customer does not make such a request within thirty (30) days after termination, Harqen shall have the right to delete or otherwise destroy all User Data which are in its possession.
• Harqen shall own all rights, title and interest to and be entitled to retain all Aggregate Analytics Data indefinitely following the Term.

Privacy

• Harqen’s Privacy Policy is available at https://harqen.ai/policies/privacy-policy/. By using the Voice Advantage Service, Customer acknowledges the terms of Harqen’s Privacy Policy. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that the terms of the Privacy Policy may be revised by Harqen at any time without notice and Customer, the Administrator and the Users shall be subject to such revised policy.

Confidentiality

• Each Party shall during the Term of this Agreement and for three (3) years thereafter keep all Confidential Information (as defined below) of the other Party confidential, and shall not use such Confidential Information, except as expressly permitted under this Agreement, and shall not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party without such other Party’s prior written consent. Each Party shall take reasonable measures to prevent the disclosure and unauthorized use of Confidential Information of the other Party.
• The term "Confidential Information" shall mean any information disclosed by one Party to the other Party in connection with this Agreement, which is disclosed in writing or orally and is identified as "Confidential" or which a Party should reasonably believe is treated as confidential by such other Party. For the avoidance of doubt, all User Data, except for any Aggregate Analytics Data, shall be deemed the Confidential Information of Customer. In addition, any other information disclosed by Harqen that relates to Harqen, the Voice Advantage Service or the Software that is not otherwise publicly known shall be deemed the Confidential Information of Harqen. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) was developed independently by the receiving Party without any use of the Confidential Information of the other Party or by employees of the receiving Party who have no knowledge of such Confidential Information; (ii) becomes known to the receiving Party, without restriction, from a third party without breach of this Agreement or any other obligation of confidentiality; (iii) was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed or enters the public domain through no act or omission of the receiving Party; (iv) was rightfully known to the receiving Party as demonstrated by prior written records at the time of disclosure; or (v) is disclosed by agreement of the Parties or pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body; provided, however, that in the case of clause (v), the receiving Party shall provide prompt notice thereof to the other Party and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or otherwise prevent public disclosure of such information.

Harqen’s Obligations

Indemnification

• Customer agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Harqen, at Customer’s expense, against any and all third party claims, actions, proceedings, and suits brought against Harqen or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates, and all related liabilities, damages, settlements, penalties, fines, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Harqen or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates, arising out of or relating to: (i) Customer’s breach of any representation, covenant, condition or other term of this Agreement; (ii) Customer’s use of the Voice Advantage Service, including any and all content created, utilized or made available by Customer on or through the Voice Advantage Service; and (iii) the use by Customer or any of its Users of the Voice Advantage Service in an unauthorized or illegal manner. In such a case, Harqen shall provide Customer with written notice of such claim, suit or action. Customer shall cooperate as fully as reasonably required in the defense of any claim.
• Harqen shall defend and indemnify Customer at Harqen’s sole expense against, and shall pay the costs and damages made in settlement or awarded as a result of, any action brought against Customer based on a claim of any third party for infringement of patents, trademarks or copyrights or misappropriation of trade secrets with respect to any item of the Voice Advantage Service. Harqen shall have sole control of the defense of any such action and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise. Customer shall provide written notice of the third party claim, but failure to deliver such notice shall not impact Harqen's obligations unless the delay is material and has been prejudicial to the defenses to the third party claims.
