2.1. Access.

Fees as between Service Provider and Service Requestor is typically set by the Service Requestor ("Contribution Model"). If there is a Contribution Model, Service Requestor is responsible for any Fees unpaid by the Service Provider. Customer will use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, VectorCare, and notify VectorCare promptly of any unauthorized use known to Customer.
2.2. From time to time in accordance with VectorCare’s generally applicable procedures, VectorCare shall make available and implement upgrades, enhancements, and error corrections at no additional charge when such upgrades, enhancements and error corrections are generally made available to its other customers at no additional charge.
2.3. Support Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, VectorCare will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to (a) provide support for the use of VectorCare to Customer, (b) keep VectorCare operational and available to Customer, in each case in accordance with its standard policies and procedures, and (c) provide the Service in accordance with the Service Level Commitment below. The Services will be available 99.5% ("Service Level Commitment"), measured monthly, excluding holidays and weekends and scheduled maintenance (such measurement generally, the "Service Level"). Any downtime resulting from outages of third party connections or utilities or other reasons beyond Company’s control are excluded from any calculation. Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, and Company's entire liability, for failure to meet the Service Level Commitment is: Company will credit Customer 10% of that month's Service fees for the main platform if the Service level is over 95% but under 99.5% and will credit 20% of that month's Service fees for the main platform is under 95%. Downtime begins to accrue as soon as Customer (with notice to Company) recognizes that downtime is taking place, and continues until the availability of the Services is restored. In order to receive downtime credit, Customer must notify Company in writing within 24 hours from the time of downtime, and failure to provide notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit. Credits may not be redeemed for cash and are not cumulative in any 1 calendar month. Company will only apply a credit to the month in which the incident occurred. Company’s blocking of data communications or other Service in accordance with its policies will not be deemed to be a failure of Company to provide adequate service levels under this Agreement.
2.4. Hosting. VectorCare will, at its own expense unless otherwise agreed, provide for the hosting of VectorCare, provided that nothing in this Agreement will be construed to require VectorCare to provide, or bear any responsibility with respect to, any telecommunications or computer network hardware required by Customer or any Authorized User to access VectorCare from the Internet. VectorCare may monitor use of the Platform (a) for quality assurance purposes and to improve VectorCare products and services, and (b) to verify compliance with this Agreement. Customer shall not interfere with such monitoring or otherwise obscure from VectorCare any use of the Platform.
2.5. Mobile App. We have made, and may make in the future, various mobile applications (“Mobile Apps”) for your use on mobile devices. You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Mobile App is dependent on the third party from which you received the Mobile App, e.g., the Apple iPhone or Android app stores (“App Store”), and you may only use that Mobile App on the applicable App Store’s designated devices and operating systems and in accordance with their usage terms and policies. You acknowledge that this Agreement is between you and us and not with the App Store, and the Mobile App is part of the Platform and subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

In order to use the Mobile App, you must have access to a wireless network, and you agree to pay all fees associated with that access. You also agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App Store in connection with the Mobile App. You must comply with, and your right to use the Mobile App is conditioned upon your compliance with, all applicable third party terms and policies (e.g., the App Store’s terms and policies) when using the Mobile App. You acknowledge that the App Store (and its subsidiaries) are third party beneficiaries of this provision and will have the right to enforce it.

4. FEES AND EXPENSES; PAYMENTS
4.1. Fees and Expenses. In consideration for the access rights granted to Customer and the Services performed by VectorCare under this Agreement, Customer will pay to VectorCare the Fees. You understand and agree that responsibility for payment of Fees as between Service Provider and Service Requestor is typically set by the Service Requestor ("Contribution Model"). If there is a Contribution Model, Service Requestor is responsible for any Fees unpaid by the Service Provider. Except as otherwise provided in the Order Form, all Fees are billed at the end of the month due and must be paid within 5 (five) days of the date of the invoice. Customer will reimburse VectorCare for documented expenses that are expressly provided for in an Order Form or SOW (defined below) or that have been approved in advance in writing by Customer. VectorCare reserves the right (in addition to any other rights or remedies VectorCare may have) to discontinue VectorCare and suspend all Authorized Users’ and Customer’s access to the Services if any Fees are more than 5 (five) days overdue until all amounts are paid in full. If Customer believes that Company has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact VectorCare no later than 60 days after the closing date on the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Service Provider and Service Requestor share the obligation to ensure that the Platform contains the correct data required to enable billing, for example, request status. All fees and other amounts paid by Customer under this Agreement are non-refundable. All dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement are in United States Dollars.
Customer must provide us with a valid bank account, credit card (e.g., Visa or MasterCard), or other payment method accepted by us to use certain Services. By providing us this information, Customer authorizes us to invoice and charge Customer's account for all amounts due and payable to us under this Agreement and affirms that no additional notice or consent is required. Customer will immediately notify us of any change in its billing address or the credit card or other account used for payment. Customer will pay us directly by another designated method if the credit card or other payment method designated above is declined or subject to a chargeback.
4.2. Taxes. The Fees are exclusive of all applicable sales, use, value-added, and other taxes, and all applicable duties, tariffs, assessments, export and import fees, or other similar charges, and Customer will be responsible for payment of all taxes (other than taxes based on VectorCare’s income), fees, duties, and charges and any related penalties and interest, arising from the payment of the fees, the provision of the Services, or the license of VectorCare to Customer. Customer will make all payments of Fees to VectorCare free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes; any taxes imposed on payments of Fees to VectorCare will be Customer’s sole responsibility. Customer will provide VectorCare with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other evidence as VectorCare may reasonably request, to establish that taxes have been paid.
4.3. Interest. Any amounts not paid by Customer when due will bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, or the maximum legal rate if less, from the due date until paid unless the non-payment is subject to a Good Faith Dispute. "Good Faith Dispute" means a good faith dispute by Customer of certain amounts invoiced under this Agreement. A Good Faith Dispute will be deemed to exist only if (a) Customer has given written notice of the dispute to VectorCare promptly after receiving the invoice and (b) the notice explains Customer’s position in reasonable detail. A Good Faith Dispute will not exist as to an invoice in its entirety merely because certain amounts on the invoice have been disputed.
4.4. Credit Card Payments. VectorCare reserves the right to charge Customer a transaction fee based on its form of payment (such as a credit card). VectorCare will detail the amount of the fee, if any, at the point of collection when presenting the payment options.

To the extent a Service Provider has its own enterprise agreement or a Service Provider is acting as a Service Requestor (or both), the Service Provider and Service Requestor are jointly and severally liable for compliance under this Agreement. Use of the Services by Authorized Users must only be for the sole benefit of Customer in the normal course of its business.
5.3. Back-ups; Security. Customer will have the ability to export Customer Content out of VectorCare for the Term of the relevant Order Form and thereafter in accordance with Section 11.4.

We provide a tool and a platform to help coordinate certain aspects of ancillary health services that you need to customize and review elements to ensure it tracks your contracts and the law as it applies to your location, your services, the individual being cared for, and other specifics. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, VectorCare is not a medical services provider nor a compliance, benefits/payment collection or credential tool and does not provide medical, psychological, psychiatric, or legal advice. If applicable to you, you are solely responsible for maintaining valid credentials, registration, and insurance and ensuring that your Service Providers do the same. VectorCare does not review any information inputted into the Services by users nor vet any providers or administrators nor their actions or omissions.
7.5. The Services require access to the internet. You understand that if a Service Provider or other vendor, such as an ambulance provider, is in a remote area or otherwise unable to access the internet, the Services will not work.

THIS LIMITATION UPON DAMAGES AND CLAIMS IS INTENDED TO APPLY WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN BREACHED OR HAVE PROVEN INEFFECTIVE. THE WARRANTIES MADE BY VECTORCARE IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF VECTORCARE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, RUN ONLY TO CUSTOMER AND NOT TO ANY THIRD PARTY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL ANY CUSTOMER AFFILIATE, AUTHORIZED USER, FACILITY, DEPARTMENT, DISPATCHER, TRANSPORT REQUESTOR, PATIENT, CONTRACTOR, OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY BE CONSIDERED A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OF THIS AGREEMENT.
8.2. Amount of Damages. EXCEPT FOR EXCLUDED CLAIMS, THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED (A) THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER TO VECTORCARE DURING THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE ACT, OMISSION, OR OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY, OR (B) IF YOU ARE NOT SUBJECT TO FEES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THEN $50. IN NO EVENT WILL VECTORCARE'S SUPPLIERS HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THIS AGREEMENT. WHERE REQUIRED BY LAW, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL LIMIT OR EXCLUDE EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OF A PARTY OR ITS EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS OR FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY.
8.3. Basis of the Bargain. The parties agree that the limitations of liability set forth in this Section 8 will survive and continue in full force and effect despite any failure of consideration or of an exclusive remedy. The parties acknowledge that the prices have been set and the Agreement entered into in reliance upon these limitations of liability and that all limitations form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties. No action or claim of any type relating to this Agreement may be brought or made by Customer more than one (1) year after Customer first has knowledge of the basis for the action or claim.
8.4. Nature of Claims and Failure of Essential Purpose. The waivers and limitations specified in this Section 8 apply regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise and will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose.
8.5. Exclusion for Unauthorized Actions and Results of Use. VectorCare shall have no liability under any provision of this Agreement with respect to any performance problem, delay, or other matter to the extent attributable to any (a) unauthorized or improper use or modification of the Services, Platform, Documentation, or Professional Services deliverables, (b) any unauthorized combination with other services, deliverables, platforms, software, hardware, or technology, or (c) any act or omission by Customer, its affiliates, Facilities, Departments, Authorized Users, Transport Requestors or other third parties outside of VectorCare’s control. Customer is solely responsible for the results obtained from the use of the Services, Platform, Documentation, and Professional Services.
9. CONFIDENTIALITY
9.1. Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means any code, inventions, analysis methods and products, know-how, business, technical, and financial information, and any other nonpublic information of a party excluding personal information (the “Disclosing Party”), whether disclosed orally or in written or digital media, that it discloses to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) and identifies as “confidential” or with a similar legend at the time of such disclosure or that the Receiving Party knows or should have known is the confidential or proprietary information of the Disclosing Party. The Services, Documentation, and all enhancements and improvements to either of the foregoing will be considered Confidential Information of VectorCare.
9.2. Protection of Confidential Information. Except as expressly authorized in this Agreement, the Receiving Party will (a) hold in confidence and not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties and (b) not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than fulfilling its obligations, and exercising its rights, under this Agreement. The Receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information to Authorized Users (with respect to Customer or you) or to personnel and contractors who have a need to know such information for the purpose of the performance of the Receiving Party’s obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement, who have confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth in this Agreement, and who have been informed of the confidential nature of such information. In addition, the Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that it protects its own proprietary information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than reasonable care. At the Disclosing Party’s request or upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Receiving Party will return to the Disclosing Party or destroy (or permanently erase in the case of electronic files) all copies of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party does not have a continuing right to use under this Agreement, and the Receiving Party will, upon request, certify to the Disclosing Party its compliance with this sentence.
9.3. Exceptions. The confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 9.2 will not apply to any information that (a) is at the time of disclosure or becomes generally available to the public through no fault of the Receiving Party; (b) is lawfully provided to the Receiving Party by a third party free of any confidentiality duties or obligations; (c) was already known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure free of any confidentiality duties or obligations; or (d) the Receiving Party can demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence, was independently developed by employees and contractors of the Receiving Party who had no access to the Confidential Information. In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information (i) to the extent that such disclosure is necessary for the Receiving Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement or is required by law (including, without limitation, freedom of information laws) or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body, provided that (to the extent legally permissible) the Receiving Party promptly notifies the Disclosing Party in writing of such required disclosure to the extent permitted by law, cooperates with the Disclosing Party if the Disclosing Party seeks an appropriate protective order, discloses no more information that is legally required, and in the case of disclosure required by freedom of information laws, you will afford all confidentiality protections available under applicable law to such Confidential Information of VectorCare prior to disclosing it pursuant to such laws, including, without limitation, by providing VectorCare notice of freedom of information requests for such Confidential Information, the opportunity to object to your disclosure, and notice of your disclosure determinations; and (ii) to its attorneys, accountants, professional advisors, and actual or potential lenders, investors, or acquirers so long as such parties are bound by confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth in this Agreement.
10. INDEMNIFICATION
10.1. By VectorCare. VectorCare will defend at its expense any claim brought against Customer to the extent the claim is by a third party alleging that VectorCare infringes the third party’s patent, copyright, or trademark rights under applicable laws of any jurisdiction within the United States of America ("IP Claim"), and will indemnify and hold harmless Customer from and against any damages, expenses, and costs finally awarded against Customer or agreed in settlement by VectorCare (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) resulting from the IP Claim. If any portion of VectorCare becomes, or in VectorCare’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of an IP Claim, VectorCare may, at VectorCare’s option: (a) procure for Customer the right to continue using VectorCare; (b) replace VectorCare with non-infringing software or services that do not materially impair the functionality of VectorCare; (c) modify VectorCare so that it becomes non-infringing; or (d) terminate this Agreement and refund any unused prepaid Fees for the remainder of the term then in effect, and upon such termination, Customer will immediately cease all use of VectorCare and Documentation.

EXHIBIT A - APIs
We offer an openAPI called VectorCare OpenAPI (the "API") (the documentation is available via an open-source license) to permit you to receive data and content from the Services or to submit data to the Services (the "Integration"). You must have our permission to use the API to connect to our network. The API documentation is available on Postman, which provides the details you need to integrate to our Services via API. Additional information is available at https://vectorcare.zendesk.com/knowledge. The API is part of the Services and all terms relating to the Services apply except that the code for the API is available under the open source terms detailed on Postman or wherever we make the API available.
The API Guidelines in this Exhibit, in addition to the Terms, apply to the use of the API. In the event of a conflict, this Exhibit applies but only to the minimal extent necessary for the API.
Use of the data you receive as a result of the Integration is subject to the Services Terms.
API Guidelines
1. Login/Certification
We must approve each integration of the API within your applications in writing before you first launch it by promoting it or making it available online or materially changing a version we previously approved. Our written approval may be provided by email or by us providing you access technologically. We may revoke your certification by providing you notice by email at any time (such as if you launch a competing service).
2. Privacy
You’ll respect the privacy of our users and all individuals whose personal information is processed through the Services. You will not use any information processed through the Services to train data models, or for use in other similar artificial intelligence technologies or purposes. Your Integration must display a privacy policy for users, detailing the information you’ll collect from them when you use the Integration.
3. Ownership
We own all worldwide rights, titles, and interest in the Service and the API, including all intellectual property rights, marks, code, and features. You won’t infringe or copy our code, design, or content. Any rights not expressly granted by this Exhibit are withheld, so if you don’t see it here, then it’s not a right we’re giving you. You own all worldwide rights, titles, and interest in the Integration, except for the API, our marks, and the Service, including all intellectual property rights. If you give us comments about the API or the Service, we may copy, modify, create derivative works, display, disclose, distribute, and use that feedback without any obligation to compensate you.
4. Use of Marks
You may not alter or remove any proprietary notices in our API or content. You won’t use our name or marks in your Integration name or logo, or in any way that implies an endorsement by us. If you want additional rights to use our name or logo, please contact us. If you use our marks, you hereby assign any goodwill and other rights to us at no expense.
5. Representations and Warranties
You represent and warrant that you’ll maintain all the licenses, permissions, and consents required for your Integration, and that your Integration won’t violate any law or regulations in any way.
6. Disclaimer
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we provide the API AS IS. That means we don’t provide warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including merchantability, noninfringement, title, satisfactory quality, and fitness for a particular purpose.
7. Updates
We may update or modify the API and this Exhibit from time to time by posting the changes on our website or notifying you via email. These changes may affect your use of the API or the way your Integration interacts with the API. If we make a change that’s unacceptable to you, you should stop using the API. Continued use of the API or Integration means you accept the change.
8. Confidentiality
You may have access to confidential, proprietary, and non-public information specific to the API (“API Confidential Information”). You may use this information only to use and build with the API. You won’t disclose the API Confidential Information to anyone without our written consent, and you’ll protect the API Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure in the same way you’d protect your own confidential information. API Confidential Information is our Confidential Information under the Terms.
9. Indemnification
You'll indemnify and hold us and our suppliers, licensors, partners, and affiliates harmless from any losses (including attorney fees) that result from third-party claims that relate to your use of the API or Integration or your users' use of the Services.
10. Our Relationship
This policy is part of our Terms. This policy doesn’t create or imply any partnership, agency, or joint venture.
11. Spam and Abuse
You’ll follow all documentation we provide for the APIs. You won’t attempt to hack or change the way the Services function. We may throttle your use of the APIs at any time. We may monitor your use of the APIs for compliance with these rules and deny you access to the API or shut down your Integration if you try to go around or exceed the limitations we set.
12. Documentation
You must: (a) Abide by rate limits and request quotas. By default these are 180 requests/minute. We may choose to modify these on request or upon our discretion; (b) Not systematically copy data from our API or cache results for more than 24 hours. Talk to us if you have specific needs for bulk access or retention; (c) Handle API keys with care and rotate any key that you believe has been made public.
EXHIBIT B - THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATIONS
VectorCare offers our Customers and Authorized Users a range of Third-Party Integrations, including Plug-Ins, to enable use of services provided by Third-Parties. These Third-Party Integrations offer either additional functionality and services not provided by VectorCare, or replace/improve VectorCare functionality and services with an alternative solution. These Third-Party Integrations are available through our marketplace.
You must have our permission to use our Third-Party Integrations as part of, or connected to, our Services. Any Third-Party Integration requires an integration that is part of the Services and all terms relating to the Services apply. However, because the Third-Party Integration is offered by third parties, VectorCare does not take responsibility for it. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, VectorCare provides no warranty, indemnity, SLA, or support for Third-Party Integrations, and its liability for Third-Party Integrations will not exceed US$50.
The Third-Party Integration Guidelines in this Exhibit, in addition to the Terms, apply to the use of all Third-Party Integrations. In the event of a conflict, this Exhibit applies but only for the Third-Party Integrations.
Third-Party Integrations Guidelines
1. Specific Third-Party Integration Terms
- SSO
Customer acknowledges and agrees that SSO allows users to authenticate to our Services through a Third-Party Identity Provider instead of current VectorCare passwords and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) processes. Customer understands and expressly agrees that, following the setting up of SSO, the relevant Authorized Users will neither be able to login to our Services with their VectorCare passwords, nor will be able to set up MFA with VectorCare. Customer remains responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Users access the Services.
SSO allows Customers to connect and use the relevant Third-Party Identity Provider’s products, services, or software in conjunction with Customer’s use of our Services ("Third-Party Services"). Customer’s use of SSO is limited to integration with one Third-Party Identity Provider.
To enable SSO, Customer may be required to sign up or log into the services of the Third-Party Identity Provider on its respective website or application and follow terms and conditions and privacy policy of the Third Party Service (which may include, but is not limited to, the Microsoft terms, Okta terms, and the Google terms).
- Stripe
VectorCare Pay uses Stripe to allow Organizations to charge Customers and Individuals for the SP Offerings. Stripe is not HIPAA compliant, but relies on the exemption in HIPAA for payment providers. VectorCare Pay allows you to choose the information that you add to invoices and you are responsible for ensuring that any data you choose to share follows HIPAA requirements. To enable VectorCare Pay, Customer will be required to create an account with Stripe and follow terms and conditions and privacy policy of the Third Party Service (which may include, but is not limited to, the Stripe Consumer Terms of Service and Stripe Services Agreement).
2. License
VectorCare will make available Third-Party Integrations to Customer in accordance with these Terms, and grants to Customer a limited, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to allow its selected Authorized Users to access and use Third-Party Integrations, solely for Customer’s business purposes.
3. Use of Marks
You may not alter or remove any proprietary notices in our Third-Party Integrations or content. You grant a limited, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use a logo of your organization that will appear in the listing of organizations that use our Third-Party Integrations where it is required for User functionality. We grant you a limited, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use a logo of our organization to assist your Users in locating our Service (e.g. on an internal network, Intranet page or similar). If you want additional rights to use our name or logo, please contact us. If you use our marks, you hereby assign any goodwill and other rights to us at no expense.
4. Representations And Warranties
Further to Clause 5.3 of the Terms of Service, you represent and warrant that as the Customer, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of passwords and Customer accounts, including the setting up of Third-Party Integrations and the configuration of Third-Party Services. Customer represents that it has the requisite expertise to evaluate the suitability of feature and it has in fact undertaken its own investigation of the suitability of the feature for the Customer’s purposes and it has relied upon its own skill and judgment in enabling Third-Party Integrations for its business purposes in accordance with and subject to these Terms. VectorCare will not be liable if Customer sets up Third-Party Integrations and an unauthorized person gets access to any data or information including any Encrypted Data as a result of, or in connection with the integration with the Third-Party Service.
5. Disclaimer
By enabling the VectorCare Platform to access the services of such Third-Party Integration Providers, Customer consents to VectorCare providing certain information to the Third-Party Integration Provider and granting the Third Party Service permission to access or otherwise process such information as described in the Third-Party Integration documentation, for the purposes of enabling Third-Party Integrations. You acknowledge that your use of such Third Party Service is governed solely by the terms and conditions and privacy policy of the Third Party Service.
VectorCare does not endorse, is not liable for, and makes no representations as to the Third Party Service, or the manner in which such Third Party Service uses, stores, or processes your data. We are not liable for any damage or loss arising from or in connection with your enablement of such Third-Party Service. We are not responsible or liable for any changes to or deletion of your data as a result of, or in connection with the integration with the Third-Party Service.
6. Updates
VectorCare reserves the right to update or modify the available Third-Party Identity Provider(s) at any time and/or to revoke Third-Party Integrations in accordance with Section 2.1 of the Terms of Service. In such cases, Customers will be notified with a thirty-day written notice prior to implementation unless the change is necessary to prevent imminent harm to Customer, VectorCare or the Services or to avoid security or intellectual property risk.
Customer understands and agrees that, if Customer’s Administrator switches off Third-Party Integrations in respect of any Administered Users for any reasons or VectorCare no longer provides Third-Party Integrations in accordance with the above, then the relevant User(s) will be required to use standard VectorCare systems and processes.
7. Availability
The availability of Third-Party Integrations may depend on the availability of these Third-Party Services and their features and functionality. You understand and agree that we do not control Third-Party Service features and functionality, and Third-Party Services may change without any notice to us. If any Third- Party Service stops providing access to some or all of certain features or functionality, we may stop providing access to certain features and functionality of our Services. We will not be liable to you for any refunds or any damage or loss arising from or in connection with any such change made by the Third-Party Service.
8. Indemnification
You'll indemnify and hold us and our suppliers, licensors, partners, and affiliates harmless from any losses (including attorney fees) that result from third-party claims that relate to your installation or integration with the Third-Party Integrations, use of the Third-Party Integrations or your users' use of the Third-Party Integrations.
