THIS MASTER SUBSCRIPTION TERMS OF SERVICE ("AGREEMENT") GOVERNS CUSTOMER’S ACQUISITION AND USE OF LOXO SERVICES. CAPITALIZED TERMS HAVE THE DEFINITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN.
This Agreement is entered into by and between Loxo Holdings, LLC ("Loxo" or "We") and the entity or person placing an order for or accessing any Services ("Customer" or "you").
This Agreement will govern Customer's initial purchase on the Effective Date as well as any future purchases made by Customer that reference this Agreement.
This Agreement permits Customer to purchase subscriptions to online software-as-a-service products and other services from Loxo pursuant to any Loxo ordering documents, online registration, order descriptions or order confirmations referencing this Agreement ("Order Form(s)") and sets forth the basic terms and conditions under which those products and services will be delivered.
Please note that we offer many services. Your use of Loxo products or services are provided by Loxo pursuant to a separate manually or digitally-executed agreement. Those additional terms become part of your agreement with us, if you use the services.
IF CUSTOMER REGISTERS FOR A FREE TRIAL OF LOXO SERVICES OR FOR FREE SERVICES, THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT WILL ALSO GOVERN THAT FREE TRIAL OR THOSE FREE SERVICES.
BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, BY (1) CLICKING A BOX INDICATING ACCEPTANCE, (2) EXECUTING AN ORDER FORM THAT REFERENCES THIS AGREEMENT, OR (3) REGISTERING FOR A FREE ACCOUNT AND USING FREE SERVICES, CUSTOMER AGREES TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

The Services may not be accessed for purposes of monitoring their availability, performance or functionality, or for any other benchmarking or competitive purposes.
LOXO’S direct competitors are prohibited from accessing the Services, except with Loxo’s prior written consent.
Modifications: From time to time, Loxo may modify this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified by Loxo, changes become effective for Customer upon renewal of Customer's current Subscription Term (as defined below) or entry into a new Order Form. Loxo will use reasonable efforts to notify Customer of the changes through communications via Customer's account, email or other means. Customer may be required to click to accept or otherwise agree to the modified Agreement before renewing a Subscription Term or entering into a new Order Form, and in any event continued use of the Services after the updated version of this Agreement goes into effect will constitute Customer's acceptance of such updated version. If Loxo specifies that changes to the Agreement will take effect prior to Customer's next renewal or order (such as for legal compliance or product change reasons) and Customer objects to such changes, Customer may terminate the applicable Subscription Term and receive as its sole remedy a refund of any fees Customer has pre-paid for use of the applicable Services for the terminated portion of the Subscription Term, commencing on the date notice of termination was received.
We reserve the right to modify our Services at any time, with or without notice to you. For example, we may add or remove functionality or features, and we may suspend or stop a particular feature altogether. We also reserve the right to charge a fee for any of our features at any time.

Loxo is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of Customer Data resulting from access by such Non-Loxo Application or its provider.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a representation or warranty by Loxo with respect to any third party services. In addition, the availability of any Non-Loxo Applications through the Service does not imply our endorsement of, or our affiliation with, any provider of such third party services, nor does such availability create any legal relationship between you and any such provider.
4.2. Integration with Non-Loxo Applications. The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with Non-Loxo Applications. Loxo cannot guarantee the continued availability of such Service features, and may cease providing them without entitling Customer to any refund, credit, or other compensation, if for example and without limitation, the provider of a Non-Loxo Application ceases to make the Non-Loxo Application available for interoperation with the corresponding Service features in a manner acceptable to Loxo.

This indemnification obligation is subject to Customer receiving (i) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for Customer to respond without prejudice); (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense, or settlement of such claim; and (iii) all necessary cooperation of Loxo at Customer's expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, (a) Loxo may participate in the defense of any claim by counsel of its own choosing, at its cost and expense and (b) Customer will not settle any claim without Loxo’s prior written consent, unless the settlement fully and unconditionally releases Loxo and does not require Loxo to pay any amount, take any action, or admit any liability.
5.6. Indemnification by Loxo. Loxo will defend Customer from and against any claim by a third party alleging that a Service when used as authorized under this Agreement infringes any Intellectual Property Rights and will indemnify and hold harmless Customer from and against any damages and costs finally awarded against Customer or agreed in settlement by Loxo (including reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from such claim, provided that Loxo will have received from Customer: (i) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for Loxo to respond without prejudice); (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense and settlement (if applicable) of such claim; and (iii) all reasonable necessary cooperation of Customer.

The foregoing indemnification obligation of Loxo will not apply: (1) if such Service is modified by any party other than Loxo, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such modification; (2) if such Service is combined with products or processes not provided by Loxo, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such combination; (3) to any unauthorized use of such Service; (4) to any action arising as a result of Customer Data or any third-party deliverables or components contained within such Service; (5) to the extent the alleged infringement is not caused by the particular technology or implementation of the Service but instead by features common to any similar product or service; (6) to any action arising from Customer’s use of Third Party Platforms or Apps; or (7) if Customer settles or makes any admissions with respect to a claim without Loxo’s prior written consent. THIS SECTION SETS FORTH LOXO’S AND ITS SUPPLIERS' SOLE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT OR THIRD-PARTY CLAIM DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION.
5.7. Content You Post. Loxo may provide opportunities for Customer to post text, photographs, videos, or other Content on the Services. Customer can only post Content if Customer owns all the rights to that Content, or if another rights holder has given Customer permission.
Customer does not transfer ownership of Content simply by posting it. However, by posting Content, Customer grants Loxo, our agents, licensees, and assigns an irrevocable, perpetual (non-exclusive) right and permission to reproduce, encode, store, copy, transmit, publish, post, broadcast, display, publicly perform, adapt, modify, create derivative works of, exhibit, and otherwise use Customer Content. Without those rights, Loxo couldn’t offer our Services. Please note that this license continues even if you stop using our Services.
Customer agrees to indemnify, release, and hold Loxo harmless from any and all liability, claims, actions, loss, harm, damage, injury, cost or expense arising out of any Content Customer posts.
Keep in mind that if you send Loxo any information, ideas, suggestions, or other communications to Loxo, those communications will not be confidential. Moreover, unless we tell you otherwise, Loxo reserves the right to reproduce, use, disclose, and distribute such communications without any obligation to Customer.
6.1. Representations. Each party represents that it has validly entered into this Agreement and has the legal power to do so.
6.2. Limited Warranty. Loxo warrants, for Customer's benefit only, that each Service will operate in substantial conformity with the applicable Documentation. Loxo’s sole liability (and Customer's sole and exclusive remedy) for any breach of this warranty will be, at no charge to Customer, for Loxo to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the reported non-conformity, or if Loxo determines such remedy to be impracticable, either party may terminate the applicable Subscription Term and Customer will receive as its sole remedy a refund of any fees Customer has pre-paid for use of such Service for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term. The limited warranty set forth in this Section 6.2 will not apply: (i) unless Customer makes a claim within thirty (30) days of the date on which Customer first noticed the non-conformity, (ii) if the error was caused by misuse, unauthorized modifications or third-party hardware, software or services, or (iii) to use provided on a no-charge, trial or evaluation basis.
6.3. POSTING TO JOB BOARDS. Loxo provides direct posting to both free and paid job boards ("Third Party Boards"); provided, however, Loxo agrees that it will not publish any of Customer’s listings, postings or other data or Customer Content on any Third-Party Board without Customer requesting such postings by using the publishing features of the system. Since Loxo does not control these Third-Party Boards, Loxo cannot provide any guarantees about them, including their efficacy or performance. Finally, by using Loxo Services to post Customer Content, including job openings, job descriptions, etc., Customer agrees that the Customer Content will meet both these Terms and any Terms of Use, Service or other rules or guidelines required by the Third-Party. Customer also agree to be bound in all respects to the terms and conditions of Third-Party ("Third-Party Board Terms"), and indemnify and hold harmless Loxo for any violation of Third-Party Board Terms that you may have performed using the Loxo Service.
6.4. Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS".

If Customer chooses to use a Non-Loxo Application with a Service, Customer grants Loxo permission to allow the Non-Loxo Application and its provider to access Customer Data and information about Customer’s usage of the Non-Loxo Application as appropriate for the interoperation of that Non-Loxo Application with the Service.

10.1. Fees and Payment. Customer will pay all fees specified in Order Forms. Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order Form, (i) fees are based on Services and Content subscriptions purchased and not actual usage, (ii) payment obligations are non- cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, and (iii) quantities purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term, unless otherwise specified in the Order Forms.
10.2. Invoicing and Payment. Customer will provide Loxo with valid and updated credit card information, or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to Loxo. If Customer provides credit card information to Loxo, Customer authorizes Loxo to charge such credit card for all Purchased Services listed in the Order Form for the initial subscription term and any renewal subscription term(s) as set forth in the "Term of Purchased Subscriptions" section below. Such charges shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order Form. If the Order Form specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, Loxo will invoice Customer in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form. Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, invoiced fees are due net 30 days from the invoice date. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Loxo and notifying Loxo of any changes to such information.
10.3. Invalid Payment. If a payment is not successfully settled due to expiration of a Credit Card, insufficient funds, or otherwise, Customer remains responsible for any amounts not remitted to Loxo and Loxo may, in its sole discretion, either (i) invoice Customer directly for the deficient amount, (ii) continue billing the Credit Card once it has been updated by Customer (if applicable) or (iii) terminate this Agreement.
10.4. Overdue Charges. If any invoiced amount is not received by Loxo by the due date, then without limiting Loxo’s rights or remedies, (a) those charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, and/or (b) Loxo may condition future subscription renewals and Order Forms on payment terms shorter than those specified in the "Invoicing and Payment" section above.
10.5. Suspension of Service for Non-Payment and Acceleration. If any charge owing by Customer under this or any other agreement for services is 30 days or more overdue, (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts Customer has authorized Loxo to charge to Customer’s credit card), Loxo may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, accelerate Customer’s unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Services until such amounts are paid in full, provided that, other than for customers paying by credit card or direct debit whose payment has been declined, Loxo will give Customer at least 10 days’ prior notice that its account is overdue, in accordance with the "Manner of Giving Notice" section below for billing notices, before suspending services to Customer.
10.6. Payment Disputes. Loxo will not exercise its rights under the "Overdue Charges" or "Suspension of Service and Acceleration" section above if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
10.7. Taxes. Loxo’s fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, "Taxes"). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. If Loxo has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, Loxo will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides Loxo with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, Loxo is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.
11.1. Term. This Agreement commences on the date Customer first accepts it and continues until all subscriptions hereunder have expired or have been terminated.
11.2. Term of Purchased Subscriptions. The term of each subscription shall be as specified in the applicable Order Form. Except as otherwise specified in an Order Form, subscriptions will automatically renew for the initial term, unless either party gives the other written notice (email acceptable) at least 30 days before the end of the relevant subscription term. Except as expressly provided in the applicable Order Form, renewal of promotional or one-time priced subscriptions will be at Loxo’s applicable list price in effect at the time of the applicable renewal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any renewal in which subscription volume or subscription length for any Services has decreased from the prior term will result in re-pricing at renewal without regard to the prior term’s per-unit pricing.
11.3. Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement (including all related Order Forms) if the other party (a) fails to cure any material breach of this Agreement (including a failure to pay fees) within thirty (30) days after written notice; (b) ceases operation without a successor; or (c) seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors' arrangement, composition, or comparable proceeding, or if any such proceeding is instituted against that party (and not dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter). We may also terminate this Agreement for cause on thirty (30) days’ notice if we determine that you are acting, or have acted, in a way that has or may negatively reflect on or affect us, our prospects, or our customers. This Agreement may not otherwise be terminated prior to the end of the Subscription Term.
11.4. Refund or Payment upon Termination. If this Agreement is terminated by Customer in accordance with the "Termination" section above, Loxo will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all Order Forms after the effective date of termination. If this Agreement is terminated by Loxo in accordance with the "Termination" section above, Customer will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all Order Forms to the extent permitted by applicable law. In no event will termination relieve Customer of its obligation to pay any fees payable to Loxo for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
11.5. Effect of Termination. Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, Customer will immediately cease any and all use of and access to all Services (including any and all related Loxo Technology) and delete (or, at Loxo’s request, return) any and all copies of the Documentation, any Loxo passwords or access codes and any other Loxo Confidential Information in its possession. Customer acknowledges that following termination, it will have no further access to any Customer Data input into any Service, and that Loxo may delete any such data as may have been stored by Loxo at any time. Except where an exclusive remedy is specified, the exercise of either party of any remedy under this Agreement, including termination, will be without prejudice to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement, by law or otherwise. Company will make all Customer Data available to Customer for electronic retrieval. One full data backup Is available by request at no cost.
11.6. Surviving Provisions. The sections titled "General Restrictions", "Free Services," "Fees and Payment," "Storage of Customer Data", "Proprietary Rights and Licenses," "Confidentiality," "Content You Post", "Warranty Disclaimer", "Customer Obligations", "Indemnification by Customer,", "Indemnification", "Limitation of Liability," "Refund or Payment upon Termination", "Term and Termination", "Removal of Content and Non-Loxo Applications," "Surviving Provisions" and "General Provisions" will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement, and the section titled "Protection of Customer Data" will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement for so long as Loxo retains possession of Customer Data.
12.1. Definition of Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means all information disclosed by a party ("Disclosing Party") to the other party ("Receiving Party"), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of Customer includes Customer Data; Confidential Information of Loxo includes the Services and Content, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Order Forms (including pricing). Confidential Information of each party includes business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without knowledge of any breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-disclosure obligations set forth in this "Confidentiality" section apply to Confidential Information exchanged between the parties in connection with the evaluation of additional Loxo services.
12.2. Protection of Confidential Information. As between the parties, each party retains all ownership rights in and to its Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this "Confidentiality" section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Loxo may disclose the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Order Form to a contractor or Non-Loxo Application Provider to the extent necessary to perform Loxo’s obligations under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein.
12.3. Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
13.1. Assignment. This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party's permitted successors and assigns. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the advance written consent of the other party, except that either party may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, reorganization, acquisition or other transfer of all or substantially all of such party's assets or voting securities. Any attempt to transfer or assign this Agreement except as expressly authorized under this Section 16.1 will be null and void.
13.2. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement will be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in effect.
13.3. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.
a) Direct Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising from or relating to this Agreement, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, ("Dispute"), the parties shall first use their best efforts to resolve the Dispute. If a Dispute arises, the complaining party shall provide written notice to the other party in a document specifically entitled "Initial Notice of Dispute," specifically setting forth the precise nature of the dispute ("Initial Notice of Dispute"). If an Initial Notice of Dispute is being sent to Loxo it must be emailed to legal@loxo.co and sent via mail to:
Attn: Legal Department Loxo Lohman’s Crossing Road Ste-504 #105 Austin TX 78734
Following receipt of the Initial Notice of Dispute, the parties shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interest, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution of the Dispute that is satisfactory to both parties ("Direct Dispute Resolution"). If the parties are unable to reach a resolution of the Dispute through Direct Dispute Resolution within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Initial Notice of Dispute, then the Dispute may subsequently be resolved in a court of law as set forth below.
b) Choice of Law and Jurisdiction. FOR ANY CLAIM WHICH IS NOT SUBJECT TO THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION, CUSTOMER AGREES TO SUBMIT AND CONSENT TO THE PERSONAL AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION IN, AND THE EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF, THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED WITHIN TEXAS. IN ANY DISPUTE, TEXAS LAW SHALL APPLY.
c) Construction and Joinder. THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE CONSTRUED AS IF IT WAS JOINTLY WRITTEN BY BOTH PARTIES. BOTH CUSTOMER AND LOXO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS. NO ARBITRATION OR CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE SERVICES, AND NO CLASS ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE PERMITTED. IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE CONCERNING THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION, SUCH CLAIM MUST BE ADJUDICATED BY A COURT AND NOT BY AN ARBITRATOR.
d) IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER AND DO NOT WANT TO BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU MAY OPT OUT. IN ORDER TO OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU MUST NOTIFY US IN WRITING THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH US BY ARBITRATION, AND SUCH NOTICE SHOULD BE DELIVERED BY MAIL TO 2121 LOHMANS CROSSING RD STE-504 #105 AUSTIN TX, 78734, WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE EARLIER OF (A) THE DATE YOU FIRST USE THE SERVICE; AND (B) THE DATE YOU CLICK OR TAP ANY BUTTON OR BOX MARKED "ACCEPT," "AGREE" OR "OK" (OR A SIMILAR TERM) IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
e) Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the above provisions, Loxo may apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
13.4. Agreement to Governing Law and Jurisdiction. Each party agrees to the applicable governing law above without regard to choice or conflicts of law rules, and to the exclusive jurisdiction of the applicable courts above.
13.5. Notice. Any notice or communication required or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing to the parties at the addresses set forth on the Order Form or at such other address as may be given in writing by either party to the other in accordance with this Section and will be deemed to have been received by the addressee (i) if given by hand, immediately upon receipt; (ii) if given by overnight courier service, the first business day following dispatch; (iii) if given by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, the second business day after such notice is deposited in the mail; or (iv) if given by electronic mail to either the Contact on the contract or the Admin(s) on the account.
13.6. Amendments; Waivers. Except as provided under "Modifications to this Agreement" and otherwise provided herein, no supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement will be binding, unless executed in writing by a duly authorized representative of each party to this Agreement. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under this Agreement, nor will any waiver be effective unless in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative on behalf of the party claimed to have waived. No provision of any purchase order or other business form employed by Customer will supersede the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any such document relating to this Agreement will be for administrative purposes only and will have no legal effect.
13.7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements and communications relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that the Services are on-line, subscription-based products, and that in order to provide improved customer experience Loxo may make changes to the Services, and Loxo will update the applicable Documentation accordingly. The support and service level availability terms described in the Security Policy, and the SLA may be updated from time to time upon reasonable notice to Customer to reflect process improvements or changing practices (but the modifications will not materially decrease Loxo’s obligations as compared to those reflected in such terms as of the Effective Date). The parties agree that any term or condition stated in a Customer purchase order or in any other Customer order documentation (excluding Order Forms) is void. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence shall be: (1) the applicable Order Form, (2) this Agreement, and (3) the Documentation. Titles and headings of sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of any provision of this Agreement.
13.8. Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (except for a failure to pay fees) if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events that occur after the signing of this Agreement and that are beyond the reasonable control of such party, such as a strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, failure or diminishment of power or telecommunications or data networks or services, or refusal of a license by a government agency.
13.9. Subcontractors. Loxo may use the services of subcontractors and permit them to exercise the rights granted to Loxo in order to provide the Services under this Agreement, provided that Loxo remains responsible for (i) compliance of any such subcontractor with the terms of this Agreement,(ii) for the overall performance of the Services as required under this Agreement, and (iii) compliance with the terms of the DPA.
13.9. Subpoenas. Nothing in this Agreement prevents Loxo from disclosing Customer Data to the extent required by law, subpoenas, or court orders, but Loxo will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer where permitted to do so.
13.10. Independent Contractors. The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors. There is no relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency created hereby between the parties. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other party's behalf without the other party's prior written consent.
