7. Indemnities.
Mutual Indemnity. The parties shall indemnify, defend and hold each other, their parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, principals (partners, shareholders or holders of an ownership interest, as the case may be) and agents harmless from and against all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, in each case that are brought by third parties and arising out of any actual or alleged death of or bodily injury to any person, or loss or damage to any real or tangible personal property claimed to result in whole or in part, due to the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnifying party’s employees or agents in the performance or receipt of the Services or while on the other party’s premises. The parties waive any immunity they might enjoy under state workers compensation laws to the extent those laws might be raised as a defense in any indemnification claim under this section.
Neurotracker’ Intellectual Property Indemnity. Neurotracker shall indemnify, defend and hold Client, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents harmless from and against all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, in each case that are brought by third parties and arising out of any actual or alleged infringement, misappropriation or other violation of the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party by the Neurotracker System and/or the Deliverables or Services, including any Third-Party Materials incorporated into the Deliverables, provided by Neurotracker.

The indemnified party may, however, participate in the defense or settlement of such claim at its own expense and with its own choice of counsel.
Exclusions. Neurotracker will not indemnify Client, however, to the extent the claim of infringement is caused by: (a) Client’s modification of the System or Deliverable without the permission or assistance of Neurotracker where the infringement would not have occurred but for such modification, (b) Client’s failure to use corrections or enhancements made available by Neurotracker within a reasonable period of time, provided that Neurotracker advises Client that its failure to use such corrections or enhancements could result in a claim of infringement and provides a reasonable period of time for Client to implement such corrections or enhancements; or (c) Client’s use of the Deliverable in combination with any hardware, software or other products or services not supplied or approved by Neurotracker or specified in this Agreement or any P.O. or reasonably anticipated to be used, in a manner that causes the infringement.

8. Confidentiality.
General. The party receiving Confidential Information (the “Receiving Party”) may use Confidential Information of the discloser of such information (the “Discloser”): (i) to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) in connection with the parties’ ongoing business relationship.

Each party agrees to hold the Confidential Information of the other party in confidence and not to disclose such Confidential Information to any third party, without the prior written consent of the other party. Each party shall, however, be permitted to disclose relevant aspects of such Confidential Information only to its officers, employees and contractors on a need-to-know basis for purposes of this Agreement, provided that it has undertaken to protect the Confidential Information to the same extent as required under this Agreement, including enforcement of a duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than Receiving Party’s obligations hereunder. Receiving Party will protect discloser’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as Receiving Party protects its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature but with no less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party shall take prompt action upon learning of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Discloser’s Confidential Information, including notice to Discloser unless that Receiving Party is prohibited by law from providing such notice.

(b) the Receiving Party received the information in good faith from a third party lawfully in possession thereof without obligation to keep such information confidential;
(c) the information was publicly known at the time of its receipt by the Receiving Party or has become publicly known other than by a breach of this Agreement; or
(d) the information is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of the other party’s Confidential Information.
provided that, in the case of (a) through (d) above, such circumstances are demonstrated with written evidence thereof. The foregoing exceptions do not apply to Personal Information. In addition, Receiving Party will be allowed to disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is required by law or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body, provided that the Receiving Party will use reasonable efforts under the circumstances to notify Discloser promptly and in writing of such requirements so as to provide Discloser the opportunity to obtain such protective orders or other relief as the compelling court or other entity may grant and cooperates with Discloser, at Discloser’s request and expense, in any lawful action to contest or limit the scope of such required disclosure.

Handling Upon Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement and at the request of Discloser, the Receiving Party shall return, or if requested by Discloser, destroy, any Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession or control and certify in writing to Discloser that the Receiving Party has fully complied with these requirements. Destruction of Personal Information means securely deleting all such information and all copies of it from Client’s system. If Personal Information is in a database, Client will execute a delete command, and will not use any soft deletes such as an indicator set to a particular value. If Personal Information is in a file, the file and all copies of the file will be deleted from the storage media. Client shall record what, when and how the data in question was disposed of. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may keep one copy of all of Discloser’s Confidential Information to the extent required (i) to comply with applicable laws and regulations and (ii) to exercise any rights that survive termination of this Agreement.
9. Term and Termination.

All claims and disputes that are between Client and Neurotracker or either’s subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, officers, directors and/or employees, and arise out of or relate to this Agreement or its subject matter, interpretation, performance or enforcement, (including any tort or statutory claim) (“Dispute”) shall be arbitrated in English by a sole arbitrator in Montreal, Quebec, in accordance with the Canadian Arbitration Association (the “CAA Rules”) and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. All documents and information relevant to the Dispute in the possession of any party shall be made available to the other party not later than sixty (60) days after the demand for arbitration is served, and the arbitrator may permit such depositions or other discovery deemed necessary for a fair hearing. The hearing may not exceed two days. The award shall be rendered within ninety (90) days of the demand. The parties have included these time limits to expedite the proceeding, but they are not jurisdictional, and the arbitrator may for good cause permit reasonable extensions which shall not affect the validity of the award. The arbitrator may award interim and final injunctive relief and other remedies, but may not award punitive, exemplary, treble, or other enhanced damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration described herein shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. In the case of contradiction between the provisions of the present Section and the CAA Rules, the present Section shall prevail. The limitations on remedies described above may be deemed ineffective to the extent necessary to preserve the enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate.
