Each party hereby agrees to treat with confidentiality all information and materials provided by and relating to the other party and to use such Confidential Information solely for the purposes of this Agreement. Except as may be required in carrying out the obligations hereunder, each party agrees not to disclose any such Confidential Information to any third party (other than third parties hired or retained by the other party with a “need to know”) without the prior written consent of the other party. The foregoing provisions will not be applicable to any information that was previously known by the other party, (as evidenced by documents or other written materials), that is or becomes publicly available, other than through a breach by a party of its agreements contained herein, or that is required to be disclosed by judicial or administrative process in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, or claim or otherwise by applicable law. Each party will give immediate written notice to the other party of any known improper disclosure of information and any such judicial, administrative, or legal requirement prior to disclosing any information in order to provide the other party, if it so desires, the opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order. Confidential Information will be deemed “publicly available” if it becomes a matter of public knowledge, is in the public domain, is contained in materials available to the public or is obtained by a party (or that party’s directors, officers, employees, or outside agents) from any source other than obtained due to a breach of this provision; provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information.
  5. Mutual Indemnification.

Each party shall notify the other immediately in writing of any claim of injury or damage related to activities performed pursuant to this Agreement. The parties shall cooperate with each other in the investigation and disposition of any claim arising out of the activities performed pursuant to this Agreement, provided that nothing shall require either party to disclose any documents, records or communications that are protected under the peer review privilege, the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work-product privilege.

  10. Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be construed and the legal relations between the parties hereto determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflicts of laws rules. The parties agree that the state and federal courts sitting in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, will be the proper forums for any legal controversy arising in connection with this Agreement, and the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for such purposes. So far as is permitted under applicable law, this consent to personal jurisdiction will be self-operative and no further instrument or action, other than service of process, will be necessary in order to confer jurisdiction upon the parties in any such court.
  11. Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder must be (i) sent via email to valid email addresses set forth in the Order Form, as applicable or (ii) in writing sent certified mail, return receipt requested via USPS, to the addresses set forth in the Order Form.

  14. Miscellaneous. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties pertaining to its subject matters and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings relating to its subject matters between the parties. This Agreement may not be amended unless in writing signed by both parties. Client may not assign this Agreement to any person or entity without prior written consent of WeInfuse which such consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The terms of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The provisions of this Agreement are severable; if any provision of this Agreement is determined by a proper court or authority to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect or impair the remainder of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any breach of this Agreement shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the waiving party and any such waiver shall not be deemed a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement or any other or subsequent breach of this Agreement.
