   10. Subscriber means the legal entity or individual that enters into this Agreement and is identified on the applicable Sales Order(s), and its representatives, agents, employees, and contractors.
   11. Subscriber Data means any data, information or material Subscriber provides or submits through the Products.

1. Implementation. Filevine will provide the Products and Services as specified in the applicable Sales Order. Subscriber shall provide a primary and secondary point of contact (the “Filevine Administrator”) to coordinate communication and make decisions during the implementation process. Subscriber understands that Filevine’s completion of the implementation process is entirely dependent upon Subscriber’s timely and effective completion of responsibilities under the terms of this Agreement. In the event on-site implementation services are required or requested by Subscriber, Filevine may pass on any incidental travel-related expenditures to Subscriber, as agreed to and specified in a Sales Order.
   1. Subscriber represents and warrants that it will engage in good faith best efforts to implement the Products and Services.
   2. Subscriber understands and acknowledges: (i) that its failure to engage in good faith best efforts to implement the Products and Services shall relieve Filevine of its obligations to implement the software within any specified period of time; (ii) that its good faith efforts, including timely and responsive communication surrounding the implementation efforts are expected and relied upon by Filevine; and (iii) Filevine cannot complete a successful and timely implementation absent Subscriber’s good faith best efforts and cooperation.

2. Data Migration. Filevine will provide data migration services as specified in the applicable Sales Order. Subscriber must provide Filevine with the names and contact information of Subscriber’s Filevine Administrator(s) to coordinate communication and make decisions during the data migration processes. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Filevine’s completion of the data migration process is entirely dependent upon Subscriber’s timely and effective completion of responsibilities under the terms of this Agreement.

   Data Migration includes import of any necessary data into your Filevine organization. Subscriber must provide to Filevine a copy of Subscriber Data prior to the beginning of the migration process. Filevine is not responsible for extracting Subscriber Data from Subscriber’s previous provider.

   Filevine will use the copy of Subscriber Data to perform test migrations. Subscriber acknowledges that the migration process is a shared responsibility between Filevine and Subscriber. Subscriber feedback is necessary at each test or draft migration to ensure the Subscriber Data is being imported and mapped appropriately.

   Any updates to the migration itself after it has been approved for final migration will be considered to be additional work, possibly incurring additional time and costs. Following a Subscriber-approved test migration, an updated copy of the data is required in order to perform the final migration, if Subscriber desires the most up-to-date data possible.

   Filevine guarantees the holding of Subscriber’s copy of Subscriber Data for 90-days following the final migration. After 90 days, the copy of Subscriber Data will be scheduled for hard deletion from the Filevine systems. Should a need arise for the copy of Subscriber Data to be restored after such deletion, Subscriber is responsible for delivering a new copy of Subscriber Data in a usable format to Filevine.

   1. Subscriber represents and warrants that it will engage in good faith best efforts to migrate the Subscriber Data.
   2. Subscriber understands and acknowledges: (i) that its failure to engage in good faith best efforts to migrate the Subscriber Data shall relieve Filevine of its obligations to complete the data migration within any specified period of time; (ii) that its good faith efforts, including timely and responsive communication surrounding the data migration efforts are expected and relied upon by Filevine; and (iii) Filevine cannot complete a successful and timely data migration absent Subscriber’s good faith best efforts and cooperation.
3. Subscriber Data. Subscriber understands that it is solely responsible for retrieving data from Subscriber’s previous provider and providing such data to Filevine in a reasonable, commercial format that is widely utilized within the industry. Subscriber further understands that it is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, appropriateness and ownership of all data submitted to Filevine in a reasonable, commercial format that is widely utilized within the industry. Failure of Subscriber to provide data in a reasonable, commercial format may result in additional fees for conversion to the correct format and/or other actions taken by Filevine on Subscriber’s behalf to allow for the use of Subscriber Data. Data migration fees include up to three (3) test or draft migrations and one (1) final migration. Any additional tests and/or changes after the live migration may incur additional fees.
4. Failure by Subscriber to reasonably comply with this section will not delay or otherwise modify the Initial Term Start Date and payment obligations contained in this Agreement.

Security. Filevine implements reasonable and appropriate measures to protect Subscriber Data from accidental or unlawful loss, theft, access or destruction, but does not warrant or guarantee that such an event cannot or will not occur.

1. Authorized Licenses. Filevine authorizes one individual per Filevine License. Individuals MAY NOT share Filevine Licenses to access the Products at any time. In the event Filevine reasonably believes that Filevine Licenses are being shared, Filevine will require Subscriber to purchase additional Filevine Licenses.
2. Licenses. Subscriber understands and agrees that its right to use the Products is limited to the number of Filevine Licenses purchased in accordance with the applicable Sales Order. The number of Filevine Licenses identified in the applicable Sales Order represents the number of licenses for which Subscriber agrees to pay for the Term. Filevine will not adjust License Fees or refund amounts paid for any decreases in the number of Filevine Licenses used during the Term. In the event Subscriber uses more Filevine Licenses than specified in the Sales Order, Subscriber will be obligated to purchase additional Filevine Licenses, in excess of what is specified in the Sales Order.
3. Compliance with Applicable Law. Subscriber shall, at all times, use the Products in a manner that is compliant with all relevant, applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.

4. Subscriber Use Restrictions. Subscriber shall use the Products only in accordance with these Terms of Service. Subscriber shall not, and shall ensure that its affiliates, employees, consultants, contractors, agents, representatives or other third parties do not: (a) modify, adapt, alter, translate or create derivative works of the Products; (b) sell, resell, sublicense, distribute, rent, loan or otherwise transfer the Products to a third party; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, decipher, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code for the Products; (d) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Products or its related systems or networks; (e) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Products; (f) access or use the Products in any manner or for any purpose that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party; (g) or use or copy the Products, except as expressly permitted in these Terms of Service and the applicable Sales Order; (f) engage in activity that involves the transmission of “junk mail” or unsolicited mass mailing or “spam” to individual consumers; (g) submit Subscriber Data or any other data that contains viruses, Trojan horses, worms, or any other similar form of malware; or (h) use or access the Products for any fraudulent purposes or in any manner that violates any applicable federal, state, or local law or regulation.

   Filevine recommends accessing the Products through the Google Chrome web browser (“Browser”) and ensuring that all Browser updates are installed. While not recommended, if other web browsers are used to access the Products, Subscriber shall ensure that the web browser supports HTTP/2 and TLS 1.2 or 1.3.

   Failure to comply with this Section shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement by Subscriber.

In accordance with California privacy law, neither Filevine nor its affiliates, employees, consultants, contractors, agents or representatives shall be permitted to: (a) sell or share any personal information; (b) retain, use, or disclose personal information for any purpose other than to provide Services hereunder; or (c) combine personal information it receives from Subscriber with personal information it collects on its own or receives from a third party for any non-business purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Filevine shall be permitted to (a) process or maintain personal information on behalf of Subscriber; (b) retain another service provider as a subcontractor subject to the same requirements as Filevine is under California privacy law (Filevine has no actual knowledge or reason to believe any service provider or subcontractor intends to commit a violation of California privacy law); (c) use personal information for internal use to build or improve the quality of its services, provided that the data is not used to build household or consumer profiles; (d) use personal information to detect data security incidents or protect against fraudulent or illegal activity; (e) use personal information to comply with federal, state, or local laws or a civil, criminal, or regulatory inquiry or demand; (f) use personal information to cooperate with law enforcement agencies; or (g) use personal information to exercise or defend legal claims.

Proprietary Rights. Filevine owns and retains all rights, title and interest (including Intellectual Property Rights) in and to, the Products and all equipment, infrastructure, websites, materials or deliverables provided to Subscriber by Filevine. Nothing contained in the Agreement shall be construed as granting any license of rights under any intellectual property, including, but not limited to any patents, patents pending, trademarks, service marks, logos, slogans, copyrights or other proprietary information or intellectual property to the other party except during the Term of this Agreement and solely to the extent expressly stated in the Agreement. All rights, title and interest in or to any Intellectual Property Rights relating to the Products and any logos or product names, etc. are reserved and all rights not expressly granted are reserved by Filevine.

Subscriber retains all right, title and interest in and to the Subscriber Data.

Confidentiality. The Receiving Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party, using the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care), and shall not disclose or use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside of the scope of this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its employees, agents, and contractors who require such access for purposes of carrying out its obligations hereunder, and who have signed confidentiality or similar agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections no less restrictive than those contained in this Agreement or who are otherwise bound by the duty of confidentiality, such as an attorney.

The parties agree that unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information would be a material breach of this Agreement, may cause irreparable harm to Disclosing Party and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief seeking to restrain such use or disclosure without the necessity of posting any bond.

Representations & Warranties. Each party represents and warrants to the other party that it has the requisite authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. Filevine represents and warrants that it will provide the Products and Services in a workmanlike manner and that the Products and Services alone, and not in conjunction with any third-party software or service, do not violate or infringe upon any third party’s intellectual property or privacy rights. Subscriber represents and warrants that its use of the Products will not infringe or misappropriate any copyright, trademark, trade secret, patent or other intellectual property right of any third party, and that its use of the Products and/or Services will not violate any applicable federal, state or local law or regulation.

1. Filevine Warranty Disclaimer. Filevine shall use reasonable efforts consistent with prevailing industry standards to maintain the Products and Services in a manner which minimizes errors and interruptions in the Products and Services and shall perform the Services in a professional and workmanlike manner. Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance windows or for unscheduled emergency maintenance by Filevine, or because of other causes beyond Filevine’s reasonable control, but Filevine will use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of any scheduled service disruption. However, Filevine does not warrant that the Products or Services will be uninterrupted or error free, will meet Subscriber’s requirements, will be compatible or work with any software, system or other services, will be secure, accurate, complete, or free of harmful code, nor does it make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained or achieved from the use of the Products or Services.
