You will not share an Agent Login among multiple individuals. You and Your Agents are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all Login information for Your Account. You agree and acknowledge that You may not use the Services, including but not limited to the API, to circumvent the requirement for an individual Agent Login for each individual who (a) leverages the Services to interact with End-Users; (b) Processes data related to interactions with End-Users; or (c) absent a license from Us otherwise, Processes data related to interactions originating from a Third Party Service that provides functionality similar to functionality provided by the Services and which would, pursuant to this Agreement, require an individual Agent Login if utilizing the Services for such interaction.

Should Paperwise discover that Your use of a Paperwise Service is not in compliance with this Agreement or the Service Plan restrictions on Our Site, Paperwise reserves the right to charge You, and You hereby agree to pay for said usage in addition to other remedies available to Us.

 

2.8 In addition to Our rights as set forth in Sections 2 and 8.4, We reserve the right, in Our reasonable discretion, to temporarily suspend Your access to and use of a Service if We suspect or detect any Malicious Software connected to Your Account or use of a Service by You, Agents or End-Users.

  1. CONFIDENTIALITY; SECURITY AND PRIVACY

3.1 Subject to the express permissions of this Agreement, each Party will protect each other’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access or disclosure in the same manner as each protects its own Confidential Information, but with no less than reasonable care. Except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement, each Party may use each other’s Confidential Information solely to exercise its respective rights and perform its respective obligations under this Agreement and shall disclose such Confidential Information (a) solely to the employees and/or non-employee service providers and contractors who have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound by terms of confidentiality intended to prevent the misuse of such Confidential Information; (b) as necessary to comply with an order or subpoena of any administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction; or (c) as reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law or regulation. The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall supersede any non-disclosure agreement by and between the Parties and such agreement shall have no further force or effect with respect to the exchange of Confidential Information after the acceptance of this Agreement. To be clear, any exchange of Confidential Information prior to the acceptance of this Agreement shall continue to be governed by such non-disclosure agreement.

 

3.2 Paperwise will maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Service Data, as described in the Agreement, the Supplemental Terms entitled, “How We Protect Your Service Data” attached hereto, and Supplemental Terms for the Deployed Associated Services, as applicable. Those safeguards will include, but will not be limited to, measures for preventing access, use, modification or disclosure of Service Data by Personnel except (a) to provide the Services and prevent or address service, support or technical problems; (b) as compelled by law in accordance with Sections 3.1(b) or 3.1(c); (c) in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4; or (d) as You expressly permit in writing.

3.3.1 To the extent Service Data constitutes Personal Data, You and Paperwise hereby agree that You shall be deemed to be the data controller, and the relevant entity in the Paperwise Party shall be deemed to be the data processor as those terms are understood under the Applicable Data Protection Law. Unless otherwise specifically agreed to by Paperwise, Service Data may be hosted by Paperwise or their respective authorized third-party service providers in the United States, the EEA or other locations around the world. In providing the Services, Paperwise will engage entities within Paperwise and other authorized service providers, to Process Service Data, including and without limitation, any associated Personal Data pursuant to this Agreement within the EEA, the United States and in other countries and territories. Under no circumstances will any entity in Paperwise be deemed a data controller with respect to Service Data under Applicable Data Protection Law or any relevant law or regulation of any Member State as defined in Applicable Data Protection Law.

 

3.3.2 As between the Parties, all Service Data Processed under the terms of this Agreement shall remain the property of Subscriber. Under no circumstances will We act, or be deemed to act, as a “controller” (or equivalent concept) of the Service Data Processed within the Service under any Applicable Data Protection Law.

 

3.4 If Personal Data originates from an Agent or End-User in the EEA, We will ensure, pursuant to Applicable Data Protection Law, to the extent that any Service Data constitutes Personal Data, if Service Data is transferred to a country or territory outside of the EEA (a “non-EEA country”), such transfer will only take place if: (a) the non-EEA country in question ensures an adequate level of data protection; (b) one of the conditions listed in Article 26(1) of Directive 95/46/EC (or its equivalent under any successor legislation) is satisfied;  or (c) the transfer takes place pursuant to the EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks.

 

3.5 You agree that Paperwise and the third-party service providers that are utilized by Paperwise to assist in providing the Services to You shall have the right to access Your Account and to use, modify, reproduce, distribute, display and disclose Service Data to the extent necessary to provide or improve the Services, including, without limitation, in response to Your support requests. Any third-party service providers utilized by Paperwise will only be given access to Your Account and Service Data as is reasonably necessary to provide the Services and will be subject to (a) confidentiality obligations which are commercially reasonable and substantially consistent with the standards described in Section 3.2; and (b) their agreement to comply with the data transfer restrictions applicable to Personal Data as set forth in Section 3.4.

 

3.6 Whenever You, Your Agents or End-Users interact with Our Services, We automatically receive and record information on Our server logs from the browser or device, which may include IP address, “cookie” information, and the type of browser and/or device being used to access the Services. “Cookies” are identifiers We transfer to the browser or device of Your Agents or End-Users that allow Us to recognize Agent or End-User and their browser or device along with how Our Services are being utilized. When We collect this information, We only use this data in aggregate form, and not in a manner that would identify Your Agents or End-Users personally. For example, this aggregate data can tell Us how often users use a particular feature of the Services, and We can use that knowledge to improve the Services.

 

3.7 We receive and store any information that You knowingly provide to Us. For example, through the registration process for Our Services and/or through Your Account settings, We may collect Personal Data such as Your name, email address, phone number, credit card information and third-party account credentials (for example, Your log-in credentials for Third Party Services that integrate with the Services as further detailed in Section 3.9) of You and Your Agents. In addition, We may communicate with You and Your Agents. For example, We may send You and Your Agents product announcements and promotional offers or contact You and Your Agents about Your use of the Services. These messages may be tailored to You based on Paperwise’s analysis of Your use of the Services. If You or an Agent do not want to receive communications from Us, please indicate this preference by sending an email to info@Paperwise.com and provide Us with the name and email address of each Agent that no longer wishes to receive these communications.

 

3.8 We never sell, rent, or lease Your Service Data to any third party. We do not share Your Service Data with third parties, except as permitted by Section 3 of this Agreement and in order to provide and support the Services. The Parties agree that We may, however, share aggregated and/or anonymized information regarding Your use of the Services with third parties for marketing purposes and as described in this Section. To be clear, We would never disclose aggregated and/or anonymized information to a third party in a manner that would identify You as the source of the information or Your Agents or End-Users personally, as an individual.

 

3.8.1 Improving the Services. Paperwise uses third party analytics providers in the following ways for the purpose of assessing and improving the usage of Our Services.

(i) Usage Data. Third party analytics providers may collect metrics information regarding Your use of the Service(s), including evaluating how Agents and End-Users use the Services (“Usage Data”). To be clear, although Usage Data may only be derived from aggregated and anonymized Service Data, it does not include actual Service Data or Personal Data. Usage Data is used to compile reports on activity within the Services for Paperwise to improve the Services. The third-party analytics providers will not share or otherwise disclose Usage Data, although Paperwise may make Usage Data publicly available from time to time.

(ii) Anonymized Data. We may anonymize the Personal Data of Your Agents or End-Users so they cannot be individually identified and provide that information to third party analytics providers for analysis. We will use this information to maintain, enhance, or add to the functionality of the Service(s) and to personalize the user experience. The third-party analytics providers will not share or otherwise disclose this information.

 

(iii) Agent Data. We may also share the Personal Data (such as name, email address and IP address) of Your Agents with certain analytics providers according to Paperwise Privacy Policy to evaluate use of the Services and improve the Services. The third-party analytics providers will not share or otherwise disclose this information.

 

3.9 Paperwise may also obtain other information, including Personal Data, from third parties and combine that with information We collect through Our Services such as in the case where You decide to use a Third Party Service or where We may have access to certain information from a third party social media or authentication service if You log into Our Services through such service or otherwise provide Us with access to information from such service. Any access that We may have to such information from a third-party social or authentication service is in accordance with the authorization procedures determined by that service. By authorizing Us to connect with a Third-Party Service, You authorize Us to access and store Your name, email address(es), current city, profile picture URL, and other Personal Data that the Third Party Service makes available to Us, and to use and disclose it in accordance with this Agreement and the Paperwise Privacy Policy as in effect from time to time and available here.

 

3.10 Paperwise Intelligent Capture uses Subscriber Service Data to train Paperwise’s internal machine learning models to support certain features and functionality within the Service in an anonymized manner such as conversion to numerical value for the training of the machine learning models. Further, Paperwise may analyze Usage Data to analyze Subscriber, Agent and End-User behavior within the Service. This analysis may then be used to develop new features or improve existing features, inform future sales and marketing strategies and to market and sell the Services.

6.5 If You pay by credit card or certain other payment instruments, the Services provide an interface for the Account owner to change credit card information (e.g. upon card renewal). The Account owner will receive a receipt upon each acceptance of payment by the Payment Agent, or they may obtain a receipt from within the Services to track subscription status. You hereby authorize the Payment Agent to bill Your credit card or other payment instrument in advance on a periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the Service Plan for the Services and for periodic Subscription Charges applicable to Deployed Associated Services to which You subscribe until Your subscription to the Services terminates, and You further agree to pay any Subscription Charges so incurred. If applicable, You hereby authorize Paperwise and the Payment Agent to charge Your credit card or other payment instrument to establish such prepaid credit. You agree to promptly update Your Account information with any changes (for example, a change in Your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. The Payment Agent uses a third-party intermediary to manage credit card processing and this intermediary is not permitted to store, retain or use Your billing information except to process Your credit card information for the Payment Agent.

 

6.6 Payments made by credit card, debit card or certain other payment instruments for the Paperwise Service are billed and processed by Paperwise’s Payment Agent. To the extent the Payment Agent is not Paperwise, the Payment Agent is acting solely as a billing and processing agent for and on behalf of Paperwise and shall not be construed to be providing the applicable Service.

 

6.7 If You mandate Paperwise use a vendor payment portal or compliance portal which charges Paperwise a subscription fee or a percentage of any uploaded invoice as a required cost of doing business, You shall be invoiced by Paperwise for, and You are obligated to pay, the cost of this fee.

 

  1. PROMOTIONAL CREDITS POLICY

We may, at Our sole discretion, choose to offer credits for the Services in various ways, including but not limited to, coupons, promotional campaigns and referrals for Paperwise services such as training. Paperwise reserves the right to award credits at its sole discretion. Credits have no monetary or cash value and can only be used by You to offset Your subsequent payments of Subscription Charges for the applicable Service. Credits may only be applied to Subscription Charges due for the Service specifically identified by Paperwise when issuing the credit. Credits can only be used by You and are non-transferable. To the extent that You have been awarded credits, unless the instrument (including any coupon) states an earlier expiration date, credits shall expire and no longer be redeemable twelve (12) months from the date the credit was issued.

 

  1. CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION

8.1 Either Party may elect to terminate Your Account and subscription to a Service as of the end of Your then current Subscription Term by providing notice, in accordance with this Agreement, no less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of such Subscription Term. Unless Your Account and subscription to a Service is so terminated, Your subscription to a Service (including any and all Deployed Associated Services) will renew for a Subscription Term equivalent in length to the then expiring Subscription Term. Unless otherwise provided for in an Order Form, the Subscription Charges applicable to Your subscription to a Service for any such subsequent Subscription Term shall be Our standard Subscription Charges for the Service Plan and Deployed Associated Services to which You have subscribed or which You have deployed, as applicable, as of the time such subsequent Subscription Term commences.

 

8.2 Except for Your termination rights under Section 8.5, no refunds or credits for Subscription Charges or other fees or payments will be provided to You if You elect to terminate Your subscription to the Service or cancel Your Account prior to the end of Your then effective Subscription Term.

 

8.3 Except for Your termination under Section 8.5, if You terminate Your subscription to a Service or cancel Your Account prior to the end of Your then effective Subscription Term or We effect such termination or cancellation pursuant to Sections 8.4 and 8.5, in addition to other amounts You may owe Paperwise, You must immediately pay any then unpaid Subscription Charges associated with the remainder of such Subscription Term. This amount will not be payable by You in the event You terminate Your subscription to a Service or cancel Your Account as a result of a material breach of this Agreement by Paperwise, provided that You provide advance notice of such breach to Paperwise and afford Paperwise no less than thirty (30) days to reasonably cure such breach as provided for in Section 8.5 herein.

 

8.4 We reserve the right to restrict functionality, suspend or terminate the Services (or any part thereof), Your Account or Your and/or Agents’ or End-Users’ rights to access and use the Services, and remove, disable and quarantine any Service Data if We believe that You, Agents or End-Users have violated this Agreement. This right includes the removal or disablement of Service Data in accordance with Our Copyright Infringement Notice and Takedown Policy available at https://www.paperwise.com//paperwise-policies/copyright-infringement-notice-takedown-policy/. Unless legally prohibited from doing so, We will use commercially reasonable efforts to contact You directly via email to notify You when taking any of the foregoing actions. We shall not be liable to You, Agents, End-Users or any other third party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuation of Your rights to access and use the Services. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity by You, Agents or End-Users may be referred to law enforcement authorities at Our sole discretion.

 

8.5 A Party may terminate this Agreement for cause (a) upon written notice to the other Party of a material breach if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date of the breaching Party’s receipt of such notice; or (b) if the other Party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. If this Agreement is terminated by You in accordance with this section, We will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, refund You any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term after the effective date of termination. If this Agreement is terminated by Us in accordance with this section, You will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term pursuant to all applicable Order Forms. In no event will termination relieve You of Your obligation to pay any fees payable to Us for the period prior to the effective date of termination.

 

8.6 Upon request by You made within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, We will make Service Data available to You for export or download as provided in the Documentation. After such 30-day period, We will have no obligation to maintain or provide any Service Data, and, as provided in the Documentation, will delete or destroy all copies of Service Data in Our possession or control in accordance with Our Data Deletion Policy, unless prohibited by law.

 

  1. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS

9.1 Each Party represents that it has validly entered into this Agreement and has the legal power to do so.

 

9.2 We warrant that during an applicable Subscription Term (a) this Agreement and the Documentation will accurately describe the applicable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Service Data; and (b) the Services will perform materially in accordance with the applicable Documentation.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER MALICIOUS SOFTWARE, AND NO INFORMATION OR ADVICE OBTAINED BY YOU FROM US OR THROUGH THE SERVICES SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

 

  1. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

10.1 UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) WILL EITHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THEIR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES OR BUSINESS, LOST DATA, (BEING DATA LOST IN THE COURSE OF TRANSMISSION VIA YOUR SYSTEMS OR OVER THE INTERNET THROUGH NO FAULT OF PAPERWISE), BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF GOODWILL, COSTS OF COVER OR REPLACEMENT, OR FOR ANY TYPE OF INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE LOSS OR DAMAGES, OR ANY OTHER INDIRECT LOSS OR DAMAGES INCURRED BY THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES OR CONSULTING SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF OR COULD HAVE FORESEEN SUCH DAMAGES.

 

10.2 NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, PAPERWISE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU, ANY AFFILIATE, OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES OR CONSULTING SERVICES, SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE SUBSCRIPTION CHARGES AND/OR CONSULTING FEES PAID BY YOU DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FIRST EVENT OR OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION 10.2 IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND LIMIT POTENTIAL LIABILITY GIVEN THE SUBSCRIPTION CHARGES AND CONSULTING FEES, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER IF WE WERE TO ASSUME ANY FURTHER LIABILITY OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH HEREIN. WE HAVE RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE RIGHTS TO ACCESS AND USE THE SERVICES AND/OR CONSULTING SERVICES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT. THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN WILL APPLY IN AGGREGATE TO SUBSCRIBER AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SHALL NOT BE CUMULATIVE.

 

10.3 Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages or personal injury or death, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply to You. IN THESE JURISDICTIONS, PAPERWISE’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

 

10.4 Any claims or damages that You may have against Paperwise shall only be enforceable against Paperwise and not any other entity or its officers, directors, representatives or agents.

 

  1. INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 We will indemnify and hold You harmless from and against any claim brought by a third party against You by reason of Your use of a Service as permitted hereunder, alleging that such Service infringes or misappropriates a third party’s valid patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret (an “IP Claim”). We shall, at Our expense, defend such IP Claim and pay damages finally awarded against You in connection therewith, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the attorneys engaged by Paperwise for such defense, provided that (a) You promptly notify Paperwise of the threat or notice of such IP Claim; (b) We will have the sole and exclusive control and authority to select defense attorneys, and defend and/or settle any such IP Claim; and (c) You fully cooperate with Paperwise in connection therewith. If use of a Service by You, Agents or End-Users has become, or, in Our opinion, is likely to become, the subject of any such IP Claim, We may, at Our option and expense, (a) procure for You the right to continue using the Service(s) as set forth hereunder; (b) replace or modify a Service to make it non-infringing; or (c) if options (a) or (b) are not commercially reasonable or practicable as determined by Paperwise, terminate Your subscription to the Service(s) and repay You, on a pro-rated basis, any Subscription Charges previously paid to Paperwise for the corresponding unused portion of Your Subscription Term for such Service(s). We will have no liability or obligation under this Section 11.1 with respect to any IP Claim if such claim is caused in whole or in part by (i) compliance with designs, data, instructions or specifications provided by You; (ii) modification of the Service(s) by anyone other than Paperwise; or (iii) the combination, operation or use of the Service(s) with other hardware or software where a Service would not by itself be infringing.

 

The provisions of this Section 11.1 state the sole, exclusive and entire liability of Paperwise to You and constitute Your sole remedy with respect to an IP Claim brought by reason of access to or use of a Service by You, Agents or End-Users.

SECTION 2: HOW WE PROTECT YOUR SERVICE DATA

Paperwise is committed to providing a robust and comprehensive security program including the security measures set forth in these Supplemental Terms (“Security Measures”). During the Subscription Term, these Security Measures may change without notice, as standards evolve, or as additional controls are implemented or existing controls are modified as We deem reasonably necessary.

 

Security Measures Utilized by Us

As provided for in Section 3.2 of the Agreement, We will abide by these Security Measures to protect Service Data as is reasonably necessary to provide the Services:

Security Policies and Personnel

We have and will maintain a managed security program to identify risks and implement preventative technology, as well as technology and processes for common attack mitigation. This program is and will be reviewed on a regular basis to provide for continued effectiveness and accuracy. We have, and will maintain, a full-time information security team responsible for monitoring and reviewing security infrastructure for Our networks, systems and services, responding to security incidents, and developing and delivering training to Our employees in compliance with Our security policies.

Data Transmission

We will maintain commercially reasonable administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of Service Data. These safeguards include encryption of Service Data in transmission with Our UI’s or API’s (using TLS or similar technologies) over the internet, except for any Third-Party Services that do not support encryption, which You may link to through the Services at Your election.

Incident Response

We have an incident management process for security events that may affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of Our systems or data that includes a response time under which Paperwise will contact its subscribers upon verification of a security incident that affects Your Service Data. This process specifies courses of action, procedures for notification, escalation, mitigation, and documentation. The incident response program includes 24×7 centralized monitoring systems and on-call staffing to respond to service incidents. Unless ordered otherwise by law enforcement or government agency, You will be notified within seventy-two (72) hours of a Service Data Breach. “Service Data Breach” is defined as an unauthorized access or improper disclosure that has been verified to have affected Your Service Data.

Access Control and Privilege Management

We restrict administrative access to production systems to approved personnel. We require such personnel to have unique IDs and associated cryptographic keys. These keys are used to authenticate and identify each person’s activities on Our systems, including access to Service Data. Upon hire, Our approved personnel are assigned unique keys. Upon termination, these keys are revoked. Access rights and levels are based on Our employees’ job function and role, using the concepts of least-privilege and need-to-know to match access privileges to defined responsibilities.

Network Management and Security

The data centers utilized by Us maintain industry standard fully redundant and secure network architecture with reasonably sufficient bandwidth as well as redundant network infrastructure to mitigate the impact of individual component failure. Our security team utilizes industry standard utilities to provide defense against known common unauthorized network activity, monitors security advisory lists for vulnerabilities, and undertakes regular external vulnerability audits.

Data Center Environment and Physical Security

The data center environments which are utilized by Us in connection with Our provision of the Service employ the following security measures:

  • A security organization responsible for physical security functions 24x7x365.
  • Access to areas where systems or system components are installed or stored within data centers is restricted through security measures and policies consistent with industry standards.
  • N+1 uninterruptible power supply and HVAC systems, backup power generator architecture and advanced fire suppression.

Technical and Organizational Security Measures for Third-Party Service Providers

As provided for in Section 3.5 of the Agreement, any third-party service providers that are utilized by Paperwise will only be given access to Your Account and Service Data as is reasonably necessary to provide the Service and will be subject to, among the other requirements in Section 3.5, their implementing and maintaining compliance with the following appropriate technical and organizational security measures:

Physical Access Controls

Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures, such as security personnel and secured buildings and factory premises, to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining physical access to data processing systems in which Service Data is Processed.

System Access Controls

Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures to prevent data processing systems from being used without authorization. These controls shall vary based on the nature of Processing undertaken and may include, among other controls, authentication via passwords and/or two-factor authentication, documented authorization processes, documented change management processes, and/or logging of access on several levels.

Data Access Controls

Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures to provide that Service Data is accessible and manageable only by properly authorized staff, direct database query access is restricted and application access rights are established and enforced to ensure that persons entitled to access Service Data only have access to Service Data to which they have privilege of access; and, that Service Data cannot be read, copied, modified, or removed without authorization in the course of Processing.

Transmission Controls

Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures to ensure that it is possible to check and establish to which entities the transfer of Service Data by means of data transmission facilities is envisaged so Service Data cannot be read, copied, modified, or removed without authorization during electronic transmission or transport.

Input Controls

Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures designed to ensure that it is possible to check and establish whether and by whom Service Data has been entered into data processing systems, modified or removed; and any of transfer of Service Data to a third-party service provider is made via a secure transmission.

Data Protection

Third-party service providers shall take reasonable measures designed to ensure that Service Data is secured to protect against accidental destruction or loss.

Logical Separation

Third-party service providers shall logically segregate Service Data from the data of other parties on its systems to ensure that Service Data may be Processed separately.

 

SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

SECTION 3: CONSULTING SERVICES

If Subscriber has engaged Paperwise for the provision of professional services (including any training, success, and implementation services, “Consulting Services”) as indicated in a Statement of Work (“SOW”) or other written document such as a “Description of Consulting Services” on an Order Form, the provision of such Consulting Services will be governed by the Agreement. In consideration of the foregoing, Subscriber and Paperwise, intending to be legally bound, agree to the terms set forth below.

Block of Hours

Consulting and Professional Services costs are sold in Blocks of Hours which must be paid for prior to work being completed.  Initial hours are a starting point for a project and will be used in the consulting services phase.  The purchase of additional hours may be needed to complete an SOW or Order Form.

Retention

Subscriber hereby retains Paperwise to provide the Consulting Services described in one or more SOWs or Order Forms, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. Paperwise shall not be obligated to perform any Consulting Services until both Parties have mutually agreed upon and executed an SOW or Order Form with respect to such Consulting Services. After execution of an SOW or Order Form, the Consulting Services to be provided under that SOW or Order Form may only be changed through a change order mutually executed by the Parties (“Change Order”).

 

Performance of Consulting Services

 

3.1 Each SOW or Order Form will include reasonable details about Consulting Services, including, at a minimum, the Consulting Fees (defined below) charged and the Consulting Services provided. Paperwise and Subscriber agree to cooperate in good faith to achieve satisfactory completion of the Consulting Services in a timely and professional manner.

 

3.2 The Parties will each designate a representative to interface and facilitate the successful completion of the Consulting Services.

 

3.3 Paperwise will perform the Consulting Services through qualified employees and/or non-employee contractors of Paperwise (“Subcontractors” and together with Paperwise’s employees for the purposes of these Supplemental Terms, “Consulting Services Personnel”). Subscriber agrees to provide, at no cost to Paperwise, timely and adequate assistance and other resources reasonably requested by Paperwise to enable the performance of the Consulting Services (collectively, “Assistance”). Paperwise, including its Subcontractors, will not be liable for any deficiency in the performance of Consulting Services to the extent such deficiency results from any acts or omissions of Subscriber, including but not limited to, Subscriber’s failure to provide Assistance as required hereunder.

 

3.4 In performing the Consulting Services, Paperwise will utilize Consulting Services Personnel as it deems necessary to perform the Consulting Services or any portion thereof. Subscriber may object to Paperwise’s use of a Subcontractor by specifying its reasonable objection to Paperwise, in which case the Parties will cooperate in good faith to appoint another Consulting Services Personnel to perform such Consulting Services. Paperwise may replace Consulting Services Personnel in its normal course of business, provided that Paperwise will be responsible for the performance of Consulting Services by all Consulting Services Personnel.

 

3.5 Paperwise will control the method and manner of performing all work necessary for completion of Consulting Services, including but not limited to the supervision and control of any Consulting Services Personnel performing Consulting Services. Paperwise will maintain such number of qualified Consulting Services Personnel and appropriate facilities and other resources sufficient to perform Paperwise’s obligations under the Agreement in accordance with its terms.

 

3.6 In the event that Subscriber seeks to change the scope of Consulting Services to be provided under any SOW or Order Form (including, but not limited to, any changes to the project schedule described in the SOW or Order Form), Subscriber shall discuss such proposed changes with Paperwise. If Paperwise elects to perform such changes to the Consulting Services, the Parties shall work together in good faith to execute a written Change Order. Paperwise shall be entitled to an adjustment in Consulting Fees pursuant to the changes reflected in the Change Order. Paperwise shall not be obligated to perform any differing or additional Consulting Services unless the Parties have mutually agreed upon a written Change Order.

 

Consulting Fees

3.7 Subscriber will pay Paperwise the fees to provide the Consulting Services using a Block of Hours as detailed or described in an Order Form or SOW (the “Consulting Fees”).

 

3.8 In addition to any and all Consulting Fees, Subscriber will reimburse Paperwise for any reasonable expenses for travel, lodging, communications, shipping charges and out-of-pocket expenses, including changes to travel and accommodations resulting from Subscriber’s request incurred by Paperwise in connection with providing the Consulting Services (“Expenses”). Paperwise will provide reasonable documentation for all Expenses as requested by Subscriber.

 

3.9 Any unpaid Consulting Fees or Expenses will become overdue thirty (30) days after payment is due and shall be subject to a late fee of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month for each month where payment is not received.

 

3.10 Cancellation/Changes: Any cancellations of or changes to the Consulting Services less than five (5) days prior to the agreed upon Consulting Services commencement date are subject to forfeiture of Consulting Fees paid and reserved date(s).

 

Relationship of the Parties

Paperwise is an independent contractor and will maintain complete control of and responsibility for its Consulting Services Personnel, methods and operations in providing Consulting Services. Paperwise at no time will hold itself out as an agent, subsidiary or affiliate of Subscriber for any purpose, including reporting to any government authority. The Agreement will not be construed so as to create a partnership, other joint venture or undertaking, or any agency relationship between the Parties, and neither Party shall become liable for any representation, act or omission of the other Party or have the authority to contractually bind the other Party. Any Consulting Fees, Expenses or other amounts paid by Subscriber to Paperwise hereunder shall not be considered salary for pension or wage tax purposes and neither Paperwise nor its Consulting Services Personnel will be entitled to any fringe benefits, including sick or vacation pay, or other supplemental benefits of Subscriber, unless otherwise required by law. Subscriber shall not be responsible for deducting or withholding from Consulting Fees or Expenses paid for Consulting Services any taxes, unemployment, social security or other such expense unless otherwise required by law.

 

Warranties

3.11 Paperwise hereby represents and warrants that:

  • the Consulting Services provided pursuant to the Agreement will be performed in a timely and professional manner by Paperwise and its Consulting Services Personnel, consistent with generally-accepted industry standards; provided that Subscriber’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty will be, at Paperwise’s option, re-performance of the Consulting Services or termination of the applicable SOW and return of the portion of the Consulting Fees paid to Paperwise by Subscriber for the nonconforming portion of the Consulting Services; and
  • it is under no contractual or other restrictions or obligations which are inconsistent with the execution of the Agreement, or, to its best knowledge, which will interfere with its performance of the Consulting Services.

 

3.12 The Parties hereby agree that:

 

CUSTOM APPLICATIONS THAT RESIDE WITHIN THE PAPERWISE SERVICE FRAMEWORK, HELP CENTER CUSTOMIZATIONS, INTEGRATIONS, AND PROGRAMMING SCRIPTS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED AND BEING DELIVERED UNDER AN SOW (COLLECTIVELY, “CUSTOMIZED DELIVERABLES”) ARE PROVIDED TO SUBSCRIBER “AS IS” AND PAPERWISE MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR ANY REPRESENTATIONS TO SUBSCRIBER OR ANY THIRD PARTY REGARDING THE USABILITY, CONDITION, OPERATION OR FITNESS OF THE CUSTOMIZED DELIVERABLES. PAPERWISE SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE, AT LAW OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY CUSTOMIZED DELIVERABLES DESPITE ANY OTHER WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES, IN THE EVENT THAT SUBSCRIBER MODIFIES ANY CUSTOMIZED DELIVERABLES IN A MANNER NOT INSTRUCTED BY PAPERWISE. PAPERWISE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT SUBSCRIBER’S OR ANY THIRD PARTY’S ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE CUSTOMIZED DELIVERABLES SHALL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT IT WILL MEET ANY PARTICULAR CRITERIA OF PERFORMANCE OR QUALITY.
