    1. Continuous Development. Client acknowledges that Provider may continually develop, deliver, and provide to Client, at Provider’s sole discretion, on-going innovation to the H.E.R.O. Program in the form of new features, functionality, and efficiencies. Accordingly, Provider reserves the right to automatically modify the H.E.R.O. Program or Learning Portal from time to time. Some modifications will be provided to Client at no additional charge. Provider may condition the implementation of other modifications on Client’s payment of additional fees, provided Client may continue to use the version of the H.E.R.O Program that Provider makes generally available (without such features) without paying additional fees.
  4. Access. Prior to receiving access to the Licensed Content, Client’s Authorized Users must complete training offered by Provider. Subject to the foregoing, Client’s Authorized Users may access the Licensed Content through electronic delivery or a website using one or more unique usernames and passwords that will be made available during the Term. Client shall only provide such access to Authorized Users for the purpose of (i) training Authorized Users in connection with administering the Licensed Content and (ii) administering the Licensed Content to students at the Authorized Locations.

Program at the generally available cost by Provider to its other Clients. Client shall notify Provider of the termination of the Subscription Services Agreement within thirty (30) days of termination. Client will then have the option to continue services at cost or termination the no-cost Term.

Program no cost Term and are mutually agreed upon by Provider and Client. Client shall pay Provider within thirty (30) days of the date of Provider's invoice(s).

If Client might be required to disclose Confidential Information belonging to Provider pursuant to a court order, other legal processes, or a demand for information by a government agency, Provider must immediately notify Provider and cooperate with Provider’s reasonable requests for assistance in limiting or restricting the disclosure. Client acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information belonging to Provider represents valuable proprietary information and trade secrets whose disclosure would cause irreparable loss and damage to Provider. Therefore, in the event of the unauthorized disclosure of Provider’s Confidential Information, Provider may seek equitable relief, including an injunction, against Client in addition to any other remedies that might be available to it under this Agreement or at law.

Client will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Provider to the maximum extent allowed by law from and against all claims, demands, litigation, or similar actions based upon willful acts or negligence of Client in connection with its performance or breach of this Agreement.
