  10. Indemnification
    1. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, Emburse shall defend and indemnify Customer and its employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all loss, damage, liability, and expense arising from any claim brought against any such indemnified party by a third party (each a "Claim): (a) to the extent alleging that the Service, as provided by Emburse and used in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, infringes upon any valid patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary right of such third party; or (b) to the extent based on a breach of Section 7.4 that results in the unauthorized disclosure of personal data to a third party.

    3. For any indemnifiable claim described in this Section 10: (a) the indemnifying party shall have the sole responsibility, at its expense, to defend and, at its sole discretion, to settle any such claim, provided that, if any settlement requires a non-monetary obligation of an indemnified party (other than ceasing use of the Service), then such settlement shall require the indemnified party’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; and (b) the indemnified party shall provide prompt written notice of such claim and reasonably cooperates with indemnifying party (at indemnifying party’s expense) in the defense or settlement of such Claim.
    4. If, in the event of an indemnifiable infringement claim as set forth in Section 10.1 above, the Service is held to infringe any valid patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary right of such third party, or in Emburse’s opinion is likely to infringe any valid patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary right of such third party, then, in addition to its obligations set forth in Section 10.1 above, Emburse shall, at its option and in its sole discretion, either: (a) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Service in accordance with its rights under the Agreement; (b) replace or modify the Service with a substantially equivalent service that does not infringe any valid patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary right of such third party; or (c) if Emburse is unable to provide one of the foregoing remedies under reasonable terms, or otherwise determines that such remedies are or become economically impractical, then Emburse may terminate the Agreement by providing written notice thereof to Customer, without further obligation by either party, except that (x) Customer shall be entitled to, and Emburse shall pay Customer, a refund equal to the pro-rata amount of any unused pre-paid fees for the Service paid by Customer as of the effective date of such termination; and (y) Emburse’s indemnity obligations under Section 10.1 above apply.
  11. Confidentiality
    1. During the Term of this Agreement, each party may have access to certain Confidential Information of the other party, which value would be impaired if such information were disclosed to third parties ("Confidential Information"). Confidential Information means any information: (a) marked or otherwise identified as confidential at the time of disclosure; or (b) that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential based on the type of information or the circumstances of its disclosure. With respect to Emburse, Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, the Service and the Documentation and Confidential Information of Customer shall include, without limitation, the Customer Data.
    2. During the Term (as defined in Section 12.1 below) and for three (3) years thereafter, the receiving party hereunder shall not use or otherwise disclose any Confidential Information of the disclosing party to a third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing party, except that: (i) the receiving party may disclose the Confidential Information of the disclosing party to its third party advisers (e.g., auditors or attorneys) who have need to know such Confidential Information in performing services on the receiving party’s behalf and under terms consistent with the confidentiality and non-use in the Agreement; and (ii) Emburse may use or disclose such information solely as required to provide the Service or as otherwise authorized by Customer. In addition, each party agrees to take reasonable measures to protect the other party’s Confidential Information and to ensure that such Confidential Information is not disclosed, distributed, or used in violation of the provisions of the Agreement (which measures shall be no less than that which a reasonable person would take with respect to like confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the obligations of the receiving party set forth in this Section 12 shall not apply to any information of the disclosing party that: (a) is or becomes a part of the public domain through no wrongful act of the receiving party; (b) was in the receiving party’s possession free of any obligation of confidentiality at the time of the disclosing party’s communication thereof to the receiving party; (c) is developed by the receiving party completely independent from the Confidential Information of the disclosing party; or (d) is required by law or regulation to be disclosed, but only to the extent and for the purpose of such required disclosure after providing the disclosing party with advance written notice, if reasonably possible, such that the disclosing party is afforded an opportunity to contest the disclosure or seek an appropriate protective order.
    3. In the event of a breach of this Section, the parties agree that the non-breaching party will suffer irreparable harm and the total amount of monetary damages for any injury to the non-breaching party will be impossible to calculate and would therefore be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, the parties agree that the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against the breaching party without posting bond, in addition to such other rights and remedies to which it may be entitled at law or in equity.
  12. Term and Termination.

    3. Upon termination of the Agreement: (a) except for termination by Customer for material breach by Emburse, any amounts owed to Emburse under the Agreement will become immediately due and owing; (b) all rights granted to Customer under the Agreement shall immediately terminate, in which case Emburse may invalidate the passwords and/or other user identification for Customer and its Authorized Users and otherwise deny further access to the Service; (c) upon Emburse’s request made within thirty (30) days after such termination, Customer will return or destroy all Emburse property that is in its possession or control; and (d) upon Customer’s request made within thirty (30) days after such termination, Emburse will (i) allow Customer access to the Service for the purpose of retrieving Customer Data for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, or (ii) subject to applicable fees, provide Customer with a copy of all Customer Data that is in its possession or control, provided that Customer has paid all fees due under the Agreement and all Order Forms hereunder. After such thirty (30)-day period, each party may destroy any such information of the other party in its possession or control. Termination of the Agreement shall not be construed to waive or release any claim that a party is entitled to assert at the time of such termination (including any claim for fees accrued or payable to Emburse prior to the effective date of termination), and the applicable provisions of the Agreement shall continue to apply to such claim until it is resolved. The terms of Sections 2, 3, 7.4, 8, 9, 12.3, and 13 of these Terms and Conditions shall survive the termination of the Agreement for any reason.

The respective addresses of the parties for notice are set forth on the Order Form. Either party may change its notice address upon written notice to the other party.
    4. Waiver and Severability. A waiver of any breach of the Agreement is not deemed a waiver of any other breach. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the other provisions of the Agreement.
