Customer agrees to reimburse Encompass for all miscellaneous out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Encompass in performing the Professional Services, as well as for reasonable travel expenses, provided such expenses have been pre-approved by Customer.

4.4 Remedies for Late Payment. Without prejudice to its other rights and remedies, Encompass may charge Customer interest at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) or the maximum legally permitted rate, if any, on any outstanding balance due from Customer, from the date such payment was first past due until the date paid. In addition, if Customer's account is thirty (30) days or more past due, Encompass reserves the right to suspend the Subscription Services and related Professional Services, until such amounts are paid in full.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY
6.1 Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by either party (“Discloser”) to the other party (“Recipient”), in any form, that (a) Discloser identifies at the time of disclosure as confidential or proprietary or (b) should otherwise reasonably be understood by Recipient to be confidential or proprietary given the nature of the information, its legends and markings, or the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information may also include third-party confidential or proprietary information disclosed to Recipient. Recipient’s obligations under this Section 6 will not apply to any Confidential Information that Recipient can document: (i) was or becomes in the public domain through no fault of Recipient; (ii) was rightfully known by Recipient, free of any restriction on use or disclosure, prior to receiving the information from Discloser; (iii) is rightfully acquired by Recipient from a third party who has the right to disclose it and provides it free of restriction on use or disclosure; or (iv) was independently developed by Recipient without reference to any Confidential Information.
6.2 Recipient’s Obligations. Recipient will treat all Confidential Information with the same degree of care as Recipient accords to Recipient’s own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care. Recipient will not use, copy, disseminate, or disclose any Confidential Information except to the extent necessary for the purpose of providing and/or receiving the Subscription Services, Professional Services, and/or Documentation under this Agreement or to enforce its terms (collectively, the “Purpose”). Recipient will disclose Confidential Information only to those of its employees, agents, officers, directors, and advisors who need to know such information for the Purpose and who are bound by confidentiality obligations no less protective than those required under this Section 6 (each, a “Representative”). Recipient will be responsible for any Representative’s failure to comply with the terms of this Section 6. Disclosure to anyone other than a Representative will require Discloser’s prior written consent. Recipient will give prompt notice to Discloser of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information of which it becomes aware and will assist Discloser in remedying any such unauthorized use or disclosure. Recipient may not reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile any prototypes, software, or other tangible objects that embody Confidential Information and that are provided to Recipient under this Agreement.
6.3 Compelled Disclosure. A disclosure by Recipient of any Confidential Information that is (a) legally compelled by a court of competent jurisdiction or required by a regulatory or governmental body to be disclosed, or (b) necessary to enforce this Agreement, will not be considered a breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that Recipient will, if legally permitted, provide Discloser (i) prompt notice thereof prior to the compelled disclosure so that Discloser may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, and (ii) reasonable assistance in obtaining any such order or remedy. If Recipient is nonetheless legally compelled or otherwise required to disclose, then it will disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required and will make reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Confidential Information so disclosed.
6.4 Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. All documents, materials, and other tangible or intangible objects furnished to Recipient by Discloser (whether or not they contain or disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information) are the property of Discloser and all summaries, copies, and excerpts thereof made by Recipient or otherwise in Recipient’s possession are and will remain the property of Discloser. After any request by Discloser, Recipient will promptly return or destroy all such documents, materials, and objects, as well as all such summaries, copies, and excerpts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient may retain a copy of Confidential Information to the extent required for reasonable internal risk, insurance, or audit purposes, as well as any electronic copies made as part of Recipient’s standard backup and archival practices, provided that any such Confidential Information retained shall remain subject to the terms and obligations set forth in this Agreement.
6.5 Injunctive Relief. Each party agrees that its obligations under this Section 6 are necessary and reasonable in order to protect Discloser and its business, and expressly agree that monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate Discloser in the event of a breach of this Section. Accordingly, each party acknowledges that any such breach or threatened breach may cause irreparable and continuing injury to Discloser and that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available in law, at equity, or otherwise, Discloser will be entitled to seek injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond to obtain a preliminary injunction. However, the foregoing will not relieve a party of its obligation to demonstrate harm to obtain a permanent injunction.

11.3 Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence. This Agreement, including any documents referenced herein, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals, or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter.

Notwithstanding any language to the contrary therein, no terms or conditions stated in a Customer purchase order or in any other Customer-initiated order documentation shall be incorporated into or form any part of this Agreement, and all such terms or conditions shall be null and void. The section headings in this Agreement are solely for the convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual effect.
11.4 Amendment; Waiver. Encompass reserves the right to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Where the Customer does not accept the amendment, the Customer shall be entitled, within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of dispatch of the e-mail or, where appropriate, thirty (30) calendar days from the amendment being published on the website, provided that the changes have an adverse effect, that could not be considered as minor, on the Customer, to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect.

Otherwise, no modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by both parties. No failure or delay by either party in exercising or enforcing any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that right.

Neither party may sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise convey any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under the Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that either party may without the prior consent of the other party assign all of its rights under the Agreement : (a) to its Affiliate; or (b) in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its stock or assets, provided that (a) if the scope of use of the Encompass Product is increased thereby, the assignee shall enter into a new Order Form with Encompass addressing the Users being added and associated fees that will be paid therefor and (ii) Customer shall have no right to assign this Agreement to a Competitor. Any other purported attempt to do so is void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors, and permitted assigns.
