A. Fees. Fees for the Services are determined on the Order Form (the “Fees”), and payable in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in the Order Form. Fees may be one-time fees, usage based fees and/or recurring fees, with or without a minimum volume commitment. If Customer commits to a minimum volume commitment and fails to reach such minimum volume, Customer must still pay the Fees related to such minimum volume. In Customer commits to a maximum volume, and surpasses the limitations set forth in the applicable Order Form, we reserve the right to charge or invoice Customer for the Services pricing tier pertaining to your usage, on a prorated basis and less fees you have already paid for the applicable Services Term, commencing on the first day of the month of the Services Term in which the usage exceeded the applicable limit. All Fees are non-refundable, including in the event of a suspension or termination pursuant to Section 12.B. (Services Termination and Suspension) below. 

B. Payment Terms. Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Order Form, you agree to pay any invoiced amounts within thirty (30) calendar days of the invoice date, in US dollars, by the payment method identified in the Order Form or other payment method permitted by us from time to time. You consent to receive electronic invoices. We reserve the right to charge interest on late payments at the rate of 1.5% per month or 18% per annum, calculated on a monthly basis on the outstanding balance, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid. If any payment is thirty (30) or more days overdue, we may, without limiting our other rights and remedies, suspend your access to the Services until such amounts are paid in full. Customer shall also pay BlueBee all expenses with respect to the collection of a payment default, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees and court costs. All amounts payable under this Agreement will be made without setoff or counterclaim.

For Services with a Services Term of a finite duration longer than a month, such increase shall apply at the commencement of the next renewal term. You shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement within the aforementioned period, with effect upon expiration of that period, by written notice.

F. Payment Dispute. Customer will be deemed to have accepted as conclusively accurate any Fees that you have not disputed in a writing delivered to us within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Customer may withhold the disputed portions of payments that are properly and timely disputed hereunder as long as you timely pay all undisputed charges that are outstanding. The parties shall work together in good faith to resolve any disputed charge(s).

Each party will use the same degree of care to protect the other party’s Confidential Information as it uses to protect its own information of like nature, but in no circumstances less than reasonable care.

  • was developed by employees or agents of the recipient independently of and without any reference to any Confidential Information received from the disclosing party or other information that disclosing party has disclosed in confidence to any third party.

Confidential information may be disclosed by a party as permitted by the Privacy Policy or as required by Applicable Law, legal process, or governmental request. In the event that a party or any person to whom such party or its representatives transmit or have transmitted Confidential Information becomes legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoenas, civil investigative demands or otherwise) to disclose any such Confidential Information, such party shall (a) provide the other party with prompt written notice so that the other party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, or both, or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement; and (b) cooperate in good faith with the other party, at the other party’s reasonable request and expense, in the other party’s efforts to resist, protect or restrict the production of Confidential Information. In the event that the disclosing party is unable to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy, or if it so directs the receiving party, the receiving party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that the receiving party is advised by written opinion of its counsel is legally required to be furnished by it and shall exercise its reasonable best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded such Confidential Information.

If an Order Form includes a Services Term of indefinite duration, each party may terminate the Order Form for any reason by registered letter with three (3) months’ notice. If an Order Form includes a Services Term with a limited duration, you may not cancel the Order Form. In “pay as you use” arrangements, we shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement with immediate effect if you have not used the Services for more than three (3) months.

B. Services Termination and Suspension. We may temporarily or permanently suspend access to the Services with respect to Customer or an Authorized User, and without liability to you (a “BlueBee Termination”), immediately in the event of: (a) Customer’s failure to pay any Fees or other amounts payable to BlueBee when due; (b) your material breach or violation of any provision of the Agreement that is not cured within ten (10) days of Customer’s receipt of written notice from BlueBee referencing such breach or violation, with the exception of a material breach or violation of Section 5 (Acceptable Use), for which we may terminate immediately; or © Customer ceasing to do business in the normal course, becoming or being declared insolvent or bankrupt, being the subject of any proceeding relating to liquidation or insolvency which is not dismissed within ninety (90) calendar days, or making an assignment for the benefit of its creditors. Additionally, we may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice in the event that (i) Applicable Law so requires (for example, due to a change to the law governing the provision of the Services); (ii) the Services rely on data or services provided by a third party partner and the relationship with such partner (1) has expired or been terminated, or (2) requires us to change the way we provide the data or services through the Services; or (iii) providing the Services could create a substantial economic burden, security risk, or material technical burden, as determined by us in our reasonable good faith judgment. In the event that we permanently suspend your Account during a Services Term pursuant to this subsections (a) through © above, you are not entitled to a restoration of your Account or any of your Customer Data. If we have suspended your individual Authorized User Account, you may not register a new Account or access and use the Services through an Account of another user.

C. Customer Termination.
Customer may terminate the Agreement with respect to all, and not less than all, of the Services without liability (except as set forth in Section 12.E. (Outstanding Payments; No Refunds) below) upon the occurrence of a material breach by us to provide the Services according to the terms of the Agreement, which breach is not cured within thirty (30) business days after our receipt of written notice from Customer describing such breach in detail (a “Customer Termination”).

D Effect of Services Termination.
Unless otherwise stated in the Agreement, upon the expiration or termination of the Agreement: (a) all rights and licenses granted by a party to the other party will immediately terminate, unless otherwise specified; (b) BlueBee will terminate Customer access to its Customer Data through the Services (subject to Section 12.F. (Availability of Customer Data) below); and © each of the parties will be relieved of their further duties and obligations arising under the Agreement. The expiration, cancellation or termination of the Agreement will not otherwise release either party from its obligation to pay any sum that may be then or thereafter owing to the other party nor operate to discharge any liability that had been incurred by either party prior to any such termination. All sections of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including Sections 4.G. (Audit), 6.B. (License to Customer Data) (with respect to De-Identified Data only), and 7 (Privacy) through 13 (General Terms) (inclusive).

E. Outstanding Payments; No Refunds. In the event that the Agreement is terminated by us for any reason constituting BlueBee Termination or by Customer for any reason other than Customer Termination, all Fees and any other amounts owing to BlueBee under the Agreement shall accelerate and be immediately due and payable, including, without limitation: (a) in the case of any Services subscribed to on a month-to-month basis, Fees through the end of the month in which the Services are terminated; and (b) in the case of any Services subscribed to for other than on a month-to-month basis, Fees through the remainder of the Services Term. Set-up fees, monthly Services fees and usage fees are non-refundable.

F. Availability of Customer Data. As long as Customer has paid all Fees owed to us, and subject to Section 12.B. (Services Termination and Suspension), we will make the Customer Data available to you for download in an agreed-to format upon written request to us within thirty (30) days after expiration of the applicable Services Term. After such 30-day period, we shall have no obligation to maintain or provide any Customer Data and may thereafter, unless legally prohibited, delete all Customer Data in the BlueBee Platform or otherwise in our possession or under our control.

If Customer commits to a minimum volume commitment and fails to reach such minimum volume, Customer must still pay the Fees related to such minimum volume. In Customer commits to a maximum volume, and surpasses the limitations set forth in the applicable Order Form, we reserve the right to charge or invoice Customer for the Services pricing tier pertaining to your usage, on a prorated basis and less fees you have already paid for the applicable Services Term, commencing on the first day of the month of the Services Term in which the usage exceeded the applicable limit. All Fees are non-refundable, including in the event of a suspension or termination pursuant to Section 12.B. (Services Termination and Suspension) below.

We reserve the right to charge interest on late payments and compensation for recovery costs in accordance with the main provisions of the Directive 2011/7/EU on combating late payment in commercial transactions.

You shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement within the aforementioned period, with effect upon expiration of that period, by written notice.

F. Payment Dispute. Customer will be deemed to have accepted as conclusively accurate any Fees that you have not disputed in a writing delivered to us within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.

A. Genomic Data.

You are solely responsible for the content and accuracy of the genomic data you provide to us (“Genomic Data”), and for any and all text, images, profile information, personally identifiable information, data, video, audiovisual content, works of authorship or other types of materials, information or communications, or hyperlinks to any of the foregoing that you provide, post, upload, publish, transmit or distribute on or through the Services (collectively, “Customer Data”). You must provide all Genomic Data for use in the Services by means of the upload services supported by BlueBee (e.g., the BlueBee Service Connector and the BlueBee API). You warrant that the Genomic Data is provided, and will be used, in accordance with all provisions of Applicable Law, including any laws and regulations in relation to the processing of personal data. Furthermore, you warrant that you will not require BlueBee to engage in the provision of Services in relation to the Genomic Data that violates any provision of Applicable Law. You warrant and agree that all disclosures and uses of Genomic Data you provide to us are provided in compliance with all Applicable Law and that you shall pseudonymize all Genomic Data which qualifies as personal data under the Applicable Law. “Pseudonymisation” refers to the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

B. License to Customer Data.
You own all right, title and interest in and to any and all Customer Data that you provide to us through the Services. By using the Services, you grant BlueBee and our third party service providers a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicenseable license to use and access Customer Data as necessary to provide the Services to you, solely for your benefit and subject to the terms of this Agreement, including our confidentiality obligations, and to enforce our rights under this Agreement. We shall have no right to sublicense or resell Customer Data, except, however, that you agree that we may collect, analyze and use De-Identified Data (as defined in this paragraph below) derived from Customer Data for the following purposes: (a) generating analyses and metrics whether alone or in combination with De-Identified Data from other sources in aggregated and de-identified format (the “Analytical Results”); (b) providing Analytical Results, reports and monitoring assessments to you and our investors and stakeholders from time to time (at BlueBee’s discretion); © developing and training our predictive models; (d) conducting internal research; and (e) development and marketing. “De-Identified Data” means data in de-identified form, in which all personally identifiable information, including direct and indirect identifiers, have been permanently removed or obscured so the remaining information does not reasonably identify an individual and there is no reasonable basis to believe that the information can be used to identify an individual. You agree that we will have the right, both during and after the Services Term, to use, store, transmit, distribute, modify, copy, display, sublicense and create derivative works of De-Identified Data derived from Customer Data.

C. Responsibility for Customer Data.
We do not own any Customer Data, and Customer, not BlueBee, shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, appropriateness, and intellectual property ownership or right to use Customer Data. You represent and warrant that you, or, if you are representing Customer as the Customer License Administrator, Customer’s Authorized Users and Customer, own or have provided or obtained the necessary disclosures, permissions and consents to use, and authorize the use of, the Customer Data as described herein under Applicable Law. BlueBee expressly disclaims any liability for data and content transmitted through or stored, temporarily or permanently, on BlueBee networks or any server and for the actions of omission of Customers or Authorized Users with respect to such data and content.

D. Our Right to Remove Customer Data.
We have the absolute right to remove or disable access to any Customer Data on the Services, as needed and in accordance with the Applicable laws, in order to (a) operate, secure and improve the Services (including without limitation for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation and customer support purposes); (b) ensure Authorized Users’ compliance with the Agreement (or any BlueBee policy), Applicable Law, or an order or requirement of a court, law enforcement or other administrative agency or governmental body; or © as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. If we become aware of any Customer Data that allegedly violates this Agreement, we may investigate the allegation and determine at our sole discretion whether to act, but have no liability or responsibility to you to do so. You agree to cooperate with us in good faith, as we may reasonably request, in any investigation we choose to undertake.

E. Data Security.
We will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in order to secure Customer Data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, given the inherent risks associated with the internet, we are not responsible or liable for failure to store Customer Data or other materials you may transmit through the Services, except to the extent required by Applicable Law and as noted in our Privacy Policy. We recommend that you take measures to preserve copies of Customer Data. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BlueBee does not guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or use the CUSTOMER Data for improper purposes. Customer acknowledges that it provides CUSTOMER DATA at its own risk AND THAT BLUEBEE takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for CUSTOMER Data.

7. Privacy

A. Personal Information. Your privacy is important to us, and we know that you care about how your information is stored, used, and shared. You understand that by using the Services, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information and aggregate and/or anonymized data as set forth in our Privacy Policy. Insofar as you submit Customer Content that includes personal information (“Personal Information”), we will only use such Personal Information to provide the Services if such use complies with applicable data protection laws in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Customer and BlueBee each agree to (a) comply with each of our own privacy policies and all Applicable Law with respect to Personal Information, including with respect to communications to persons or entities identified in the Customer Data; and (b) reasonably cooperate with the other, at each of our own expense, to ensure compliance, such as by providing each other information relating to our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information for or on behalf of the other party, and deleting Personal Information without undue delay (unless there is a requirement to store the personal information under the Applicable law to which the processor is subject to).

B. General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). If you are the “data controller” and BlueBee is the “data processor”, under the GDPR or any similar national law, we shall process personal identifiable information (PII) and/or any special categories of data (“sensitive personal data”) — as defined by the GDPR — solely on your behalf, on the basis of your documented instructions. These processing activities are described in a separate Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”), which forms an integral part of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, BlueBee shall have the right to process Genomic Data in order to generate statistical data for our own use, including, but not limited to, statistical and research purposes and product improvements. Regarding Genomic Data which qualifies as personal data under GDPR, such processing is governed by our Privacy Policy.

You further agree to indemnify and hold BlueBee harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, causes of action, damage, legal proceedings, judgments, including lawyers’ fees and costs, arising out of or relating to your uploading, storing, or transferring of sensitive personal data using the Services.

8. Confidentiality

A. Confidential Information. Each party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information disclosed to one another under this Agreement, and to only use such Confidential Information for the purposes of its contractual relationship with each other except as expressly permitted under this Agreement or as expressly authorized in writing by the disclosing party. “Confidential Information” is information, in whatever form, not generally known or readily available to the public, and proprietary and confidential to the disclosing party, including, with respect to BlueBee, all non-public features of the BlueBee Platform, and the Analytical Results; with respect to Customer, Customer Data; and with respect to both parties, the terms and conditions of each Order Form. Each party will use the same degree of care to protect the other party’s Confidential Information as it uses to protect its own information of similar nature, but in no circumstances less than reasonable care.
