      The time for response and resolution is determined by the agreed terms and conditions outlined in the contract or statement of work.

    3. Service Uptime
      1. For the purposes of this 'Service Uptime' section, the following definitions will apply:

        "Downtime" is unplanned outage/severe issue that constitutes a catastrophic problem causing complete inability to use the Subscription Service, excluding Free Services, across a significant portion of the production environment (e.g. crash or hang), resulting in production downtime and where there is no workaround or solution to the problem. This excludes planned outages, communicated in advance through subscribed channels.

        "Service Uptime" is calculated using following formula:
        Service Uptime = (total hours in calendar month - Excluded duration - Downtime duration) / (total hours in calendar month - Excluded duration) x 100%

      2. We will use reasonable efforts to meet a Service Uptime of 99.9% for our analytical service in each calendar month. All availability calculations will be based on our system records. This 'Service Uptime' section does not apply to our Free Services.

    1. Cancellations at convenience and refunds

      You can cancel your Lumenore subscription at any time. However, canceling will turn off the auto-renewal of your subscription.

      Your Lumenore subscription automatically renews for periods equal to your initial purchase. For example, suppose you have chosen a one-month subscription to Lumenore. In that case, the subscription will automatically renew for another 30 days at the end of the first month of your purchase if you do not cancel within the first 30 days.

      Once you cancel, you will not be charged again, and your benefits will continue until the end of the billing cycle. However, you won't be refunded for the period between your cancellation and the end of your subscription.

    2. Cancellations for cause and refunds

      The licenses may be canceled upon a breach or performance failure* on the part of Lumenore. The Lumenore Customer Service Desk needs to be notified of such a breach within a reasonable time frame from when the issue is known to you. If the issue is not resolved within 15 (fifteen) days of such notice, you may cancel the contract and may be eligible for a refund for the period such default persists.

  9. No Liability of Suppliers

    Client acknowledges that Client's rights under this Agreement, in the nature of warranty or otherwise, are solely against Lumenore. NO SUPPLIER MAKES ANY WARRANTY, ASSUMES ANY LIABILITY, OR UNDERTAKES TO FURNISH TO CLIENT ANY SUPPORT OR INFORMATION CONCERNING PRODUCTS OR ANY PORTION OF PRODUCTS. Client hereby releases all suppliers from any claims, damages or losses arising from the use of Product or Software, regardless of the form of action.

  10. Limitation on Direct Damages

    IN NO EVENT SHALL LUMENORE OR ANY SUPPLIER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE OR INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS), OR FOR LEGAL FEES, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR THE DOCUMENTATION, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF LUMENORE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL LUMENORE'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT EXCEED THE LICENSE FEE PAID BY CLIENT WITHIN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO ASSERTION OF THE CLAIM. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION.

  11. Indemnification

    1. General Indemnity

      Lumenore and Client shall each indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from all claims, damages, demands, liabilities, costs and expenses, arising by reason of any claim for personal injury of any agent, employee, customer or business visitor of the indemnitor or damage to tangible property (other than data or information) owned or leased by the indemnitor, to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnitor; provided, however, that indemnitee gives indemnitor: (a) prompt written notice of any such claims; failure or delay to so notify indemnitor shall not relieve indemnitor from any liability hereunder so long as the failure or delay shall not have prejudiced the defense of such claim; reasonable assistance in defending the claim; and (c) sole authority to defend or settle such claim.

    2. Indemnification for Infringement

      Lumenore shall, at its expense, defend or settle any claim, action or allegation brought against Client that the Software infringes any U.S. patent or U.S. copyright and shall pay any final judgments awarded or settlements entered into, provided that Client gives Lumenore prompt written notice of, reasonable assistance in, and sole control over the defense or settlement of such claims. In the event any such infringement, claim, action or allegation is brought or threatened, Lumenore may, at its sole option and expense (a) procure for Client the right to continue use of the Software or infringing part thereof; (b) modify or amend the Software or infringing part thereof, or replace the Software or infringing part thereof with a functionally equivalent alternative; or (c) if neither of the foregoing is commercially practicable, terminate this Agreement and refund the monies paid by Client for the infringing Software less one [6 months in Term] (six months) thereof for each month or portion thereof that this Agreement has been in effect. This Section states the entire liability of Lumenore with respect to infringement of any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right.
      Lumenore will not be liable to Client for claims of indirect or contributory infringement. Lumenore will have no liability if Client modifies the Product or Software and such infringement would not have occurred but for such modification, or uses the Product or Software in the practice of a patented process and there would be no infringement in the absence of such practice.

    3. Mechanics of Indemnities

      The indemnitor's obligations are conditioned upon the indemnitee: (i) giving the indemnitor prompt written notice of any claim, action, suit or proceeding for which the indemnitee is seeking indemnity; (ii) granting control of the defense and settlement to the indemnitor; and (iii) reasonably cooperating with the indemnitor at the indemnitor’s expense. Failure of the indemnitee to give notice of a claim as required in this Section shall excuse and discharge the indemnitor's obligations unless the indemnitee can prove both good cause for failing to give notice and an absence of unfair prejudice to the indemnitor. The indemnitee may participate in any defense at its sole expense. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section to the contrary, the indemnitor shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive relief against the indemnitee without the indemnitee's written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

  12. Waiver

    No change, waiver, or discharge hereof shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the Party against which it is sought to be enforced. No delay or omission by either Party in exercising any right hereunder shall be construed as a waiver. A waiver by either of the Parties of any provision or breach shall not be a waiver of any other provision or breach.

  13. Non-Solicitation

    During the term of this Agreement and for one year thereafter, the Parties shall not hire or seek to hire any person employed then or within the preceding year by the other Party and involved directly or indirectly, except with prior written consent of the other Party. Such consent may be withheld in the other Party's sole discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than (a) as a result of a disclosure by either Party or its employees or any other person who directly or indirectly receives such information from the other Party or its employees or (b) in violation of a confidentiality obligation to either Party known to the Parties, (ii) is or becomes available to either on a non-confidential basis from a source which is entitled to disclose it to the recipient, or (iii) was developed by employees or agents of either Party independently of and without reference to any information communicated to one Party by the other.

    2. Nondisclosure and Nonuser Obligation

      Neither Party will make use of, disseminate, or in any way disclose any Confidential Information as provided in this Section, except as may be required by a court of competent jurisdiction. Both Parties will treat all Confidential Information with the same degree of care as they accord their own confidential information, and represent that they exercise at least reasonable care to protect their own confidential information. Both Parties agree that they shall disclose Confidential Information only to those employees who need to know such information and both Parties certify that such employees have previously agreed, either as a condition to employment or in order to obtain the Confidential Information, to be bound by terms and conditions substantially similar to those of this Agreement. Any Party will immediately give notice to the other Party of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information and agree to assist the other Party in remedying any such unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information.

  15. Relationship of Parties

    Lumenore is acting only as an independent contractor and does not undertake, by this Agreement to perform any obligation of Client, whether regulatory or contractual, or to assume any responsibility for Client's business or operations. Neither Party shall act nor represent itself, directly or by implication, as an agent of the other, except as expressly authorized under this Agreement. Lumenore has the sole right to supervise and manage its employees under this Agreement.

  16. Force Majeure

    Neither Party shall be liable for any failure or delay in its performance (other than non-payment) due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, provided that it notifies the other Party as soon as practicable and uses reasonable commercial efforts to resume performance.

  17. Severability

    If any provision of this Agreement is declared or found to be illegal, unenforceable or void, then the Parties will be relieved of all obligations arising under such provision, but only to the extent that such provision is illegal, unenforceable or void, it being the intent and agreement of the Parties that this Agreement will be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the extent necessary to make it legal and enforceable while preserving its intent or, if that is not possible, by substituting therefore another provision that is legal and enforceable and achieves the same objective. If such illegal, unenforceable or void provision does not relate to the payments to be made to Lumenore hereunder and if the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected by such declaration or finding and is capable of substantial performance, then each provision not so affected will be enforced to the extent permitted by law.

  18. Survival

    Any sections of this Agreement that by their nature may reasonably be presumed to have been intended to survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement, shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Additionally, Client further acknowledges that it is knowledgeable about U.S. export licensing requirements or that Client will become so prior to engaging directly or indirectly in any export transaction including the Software and/or Documentation.
