a. Performance and Support. We will provide the Service in accordance with our Service Warranty and in a professional manner consistent with reasonable, generally-accepted industry standards. We undertake commercially reasonable measures to assure system availability.
b. Hosting. We have entered into arrangements with Amazon Web Services for the hosting of Helia Connect® (the “Third-Party Host”). We will ensure that the Third-Party Host is contractually bound to protect Customer Data at least at the same level that Customer Data is protected under these Terms and Conditions.

f. Injunctions of the Service. If the Service becomes or, in our opinion, is likely to become the subject of any injunction preventing the Service’s use as contemplated in these Terms and Conditions, we may, at our option (i) obtain for you the right to continue using the Service or (ii) replace or modify the Service so that it becomes non-infringing without substantially compromising its principal functions. If neither (i) nor (ii) is possible or reasonably feasible, then we may terminate the Agreement immediately on written notice to you.

7. Indemnifications.
7.1 Indemnity by Helia Care. We agree to indemnify you against any third-party claims and resulting liabilities attributable to or arising from: (a) any assertion that the Service, the Technology, the Documentation, or any other materials as provided by us under these Terms and Conditions infringe any intellectual property right of any third party or (b) any breach by Helia Care of the confidentiality obligations as set forth in the Confidentiality Policy, located here.

7.3 Proceedings. The indemnified Party must promptly notify the indemnifying Party in writing of any claim or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed. Failure to so notify does not void the indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify the other Party. The indemnified Party must allow the indemnifying Party to solely control the defense of any claim or proceeding and all settlement negotiations. The indemnified Party must also provide the indemnifying Party with reasonable cooperation and assistance in defending any such claim at the indemnifying Party’s cost. The indemnifying Party may not enter into any settlement that imposes liability or obligations on the indemnified Party without obtaining the indemnified Party’s prior written consent of the settlement.
7.4 Exclusive Remedy. This Section contains each Party’s exclusive remedies and the indemnifying Party’s sole liability for infringement claims.
8. Limitation of Liability. We shall not be liable regarding the Agreement’s subject matter, regardless of the form of any claim or action (whether in contract, negligence, strict liability, law, or equity), for any:
8.1 loss or inaccuracy of data, loss or interruption of use, or cost of procuring substitute technology, goods, or services;
8.2 indirect, punitive, incidental, reliance, special, exemplary, or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, loss of business, revenues, profits, and goodwill, even if advised of the possibility of such damages; or
8.3 damages, in the aggregate, in excess of the amounts paid or owed to us by you (if any) under the Agreement during the preceding six-month period.
9. General Provisions.
9.1 Entire Agreement. The Agreement between the Parties on the subject matter and supersede all prior negotiations, understandings, or agreements. The Agreement may not be modified without our consent. We expressly exclude, reject, and object to any general terms and conditions contained in your general vendor or purchasing agreements or policies.
9.2 Waivers. No waiver of any right under the Agreement is valid unless made in writing signed by the waiving Party. A Party’s failure to enforce any right or remedy under the Agreement at any time does not constitute a waiver of any right or remedy.
9.3 Survival. The Agreement’s provisions regarding confidentiality, proprietary rights, representations and warranties, disclaimers, indemnifications, limitations of liability, effects of termination, and the general provisions in this Section survive the Agreement’s termination.
9.4 Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, the provision is limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Agreement will otherwise remain in full effect and enforceable.
9.5 Governing Law. The Agreement is governed by and must be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona without regard to conflicts of law provisions. Neither the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods nor any implementation of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act in any jurisdiction applies to the Agreement or these Terms and Conditions. Exclusive jurisdiction and proper, convenient venue for actions related to the Agreement and your access to and use of the Service are in the state and federal courts located in the State of Arizona. Both Parties consent to personal and subject matter jurisdiction and convenient venue of such courts with respect to any such actions. In any such action, the prevailing Party is entitled to recover from the other Party the prevailing Party’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred in connection with that action and enforcing any judgment or order obtained in that action.
9.6 Force Majeure. If either Party is rendered unable to perform any of its obligations under the Agreement or these Terms and Conditions (except payment obligations) by any cause beyond its reasonable control, that Party must notify the other Party in writing of that fact, thus extending performance for the duration of the cause.
9.7 Notices. The sole permissible method of giving any written notice under the Agreement is by email sent with a “read” receipt requested. Notice is deemed given and received when the sending Party receives the “read” receipt back from the receiving Party or can otherwise show that the email was delivered.
9.8 Successors and Assigns. The Agreement inures to the benefit of and binds the Parties’ respective successors. No Party may assign the Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights and obligations of either Party may be assigned in connection with a reorganization, merger, consolidation, acquisition, or other restructuring involving all or substantially all of the voting securities and/or assets of such Party.
9.9 Independent Contractors. The Parties are independent contractors under the Agreement. Nothing in the Agreement makes either Party the employer, employee, agent, or representative of the other Party or makes the Parties subject to a joint venture or partnership.
