GENERAL TERMS SCHEDULE
This General Terms Schedule (these “General Terms” or this “General Terms Schedule”) is part of the Master Agreement, Order Form or any other agreement or document entered into between Customer and Hyland, which incorporates this General Terms Schedule by reference (the “Incorporating Document”). As used herein, the “Agreement” means the Incorporating Document, inclusive of this General Terms Schedule, as well as any other terms or documents incorporated within the Incorporating Document.
This General Terms Schedule (“General Terms” or “General Terms Schedule”) includes terms that will apply to any product license or service you purchase from Hyland. Other Schedules will have more specific terms relevant to the product licensee or service governed by that Schedule. If there is a conflict between the terms of this General Terms Schedule and any other Schedule, the other Schedule shall control with respect to the subject matter of such Schedule. In the event the same topic is addressed in both the General Terms Schedule and any other Schedule but the terms do not conflict, the terms of both the General Terms Schedule and the Schedule shall apply. Capitalized terms used in this General Terms Schedule may be defined within this Schedule or within other Schedules to which they are applicable.
1. TERM; TERMINATION; SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS AFTER EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION.
1.1 Term of the Agreement and Product Subscription(s). The Agreement shall have a term commencing on the Effective Date, and will continue until all Product Subscriptions have expired or been terminated. The term of a Product Subscription shall be the Initial Term, and such term shall automatically renew for additional periods of the same length as the Initial Term unless either party gives the other notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the then-current term. In the event Customer purchases add-on licenses or services to a Product Subscription via an Order Form or purchase order, the term of such add-on licenses or service shall run coterminous with the existing applicable Product Subscription, unless otherwise stated via an Order Form.
1.2 Termination By Either Party.
1.2.1 Either party may terminate the Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to the other party, if the other party (i) terminates or suspends its business without a successor or becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (ii) has committed a breach of a material provision of the Agreement and has failed to cure the breach within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice of the breach given by the non-breaching party. In the event Customer terminates under (ii) above, Hyland shall refund Customer any prepaid fees for Software, Hyland Cloud Services, Success Path, or Professional Services that were to be provided after the effective date of termination.
1.2.2 If, in the reasonable opinion of Customer or Hyland, the compliance by either party with the terms of the Agreement will be in violation of any law or regulation implemented or modified after the Effective Date, Customer or Hyland, as the case may be, may terminate the applicable license or services under the Agreement, upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party.
1.3 Certain Effects or Consequences of Termination; Survival of Certain Provisions.
1.3.1 Generally. Any termination of the Agreement will not discharge or otherwise affect any pre-termination obligations of either party existing under the Agreement at the time of termination, including a party's obligation to pay any fees and charges accrued or due for any period or event occurring on or prior to the effective date of termination or expiration of the Agreement and all liabilities which have accrued prior to the date of termination shall survive.
1.3.2 Survival of Certain Obligations. All provisions of the Agreement which by their nature extend beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement will survive and remain in effect until all obligations are satisfied. For clarity, this includes all provisions under these General Terms other than the Marketing and Publicity provision.
1.3.3 Additional Effects or Consequences of Termination. Upon termination of the Agreement, any license to use the Software or Hyland Cloud Service will automatically terminate without other or further action on the part of any party; and Customer shall immediately: (a) discontinue any and all use of the Software, Documentation, and, if applicable, Hyland Cloud Service; and (b) in the case of Software and Documentation within Customer’s control, either: (i) return the Software and Documentation to Hyland, or (ii) with the prior permission of Hyland, destroy the Software and Documentation and certify in writing to Hyland that Customer has completed such destruction.
2. PAYMENT TERMS.
2.1 Invoicing. All invoices shall be sent electronically by Hyland to the other party to the attention of “Accounts Payable,” or to such other person or department as the other party may specify from time to time by written notice to Hyland. In the event any invoice contains a billing error which is discovered by Hyland, Hyland may issue a new invoice to correct the error.
2.2 General Payment Terms. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, Customer shall pay in full all fees within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such invoice.
2.3 Taxes and Governmental Charges. All payments under the Agreement are exclusive of all applicable taxes and governmental charges (such as duties), all of which shall be paid by Customer (other than taxes on Hyland’s income). In the event Customer is required by law to withhold taxes, Customer agrees to furnish Hyland all required receipts and documentation substantiating such payment. If Hyland is required by law to remit any tax or governmental charge on behalf of or for the account of Customer, Customer agrees to reimburse Hyland within thirty (30) days after Hyland notifies Customer in writing of such remittance. Customer agrees to provide Hyland with valid tax exemption certificates in advance of any remittance otherwise required to be made by Hyland on behalf of or for the account of Customer, where such certificates are applicable.
2.4 Resolution of Invoice Disputes. In the case of any Disputed Amount (as defined below) that are timely disputed in accordance with this Section, both parties will use reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) calendar days of Hyland’s receipt of the notice. If any Disputed Amount remains disputed in good faith after such 30-day period, the parties agree that at least one of each of their respective members of senior management will meet within ten (10) calendar days to attempt to resolve the dispute. If the dispute is not thereby resolved, either party may file litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction to seek resolution of the dispute. As used herein, “Disputed Amounts” means those amounts on any invoice which the invoiced party is disputing reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
2.5 Currency; Delivery of Tangible Keys and CDs. All fees, costs and expenses shall be determined and invoiced in, and all payments required to be made in connection with this Agreement shall be made in the currency identified in the applicable Order Form or purchase order accepted by Hyland.

Hyland shall invoice Customer for applicable training fees upon Customer’s registration for each training course and such invoice shall be due and payable in accordance with this Agreement. In the event that Customer prepays for training, then such prepaid training shall expire twelve (12) months from the date Hyland accepts Customer’s purchase order for such training or the Effective Date of the applicable Order Form for such training, whichever is earlier.
