  2. Pricing.
    1. Smart Plan. The Services use an automated tiered pricing model (“Smart Plan”) which is optimized for the Client based on actual consumption for each eligible machine enrolled into the Pilot (a “Device”). Each volume tier will have an associated tier price and cost per page rate (“Overage Charge”). The lowest cost option will be charged automatically. Extra pages will be charged at the applicable Overage Charge if the actual printed volume exceeds the number of pages included in the volume tier.
    2. Pricing Calculations. Page count will start at zero for all new subscriptions. A4 or letter format pages will be counted as 1-page count. All other page sizes will be charged at the conversion rate as reported by the Device. Pages processed by a Device as duplex will be charged as twice the page count of the applicable page size, regardless of whether ink or toner is used on both sides of the page.
  3. Taxes. Prices are exclusive of taxes, duties, and fees (including installation) unless otherwise quoted. If a withholding tax is required by law, please contact Your Insight representative to discuss appropriate procedures.
  4. Term. These Terms will begin on the day set forth in the Order Form (the “Effective Date”) and will continue for a term of twelve (12) months (“Term”).
  5. Automatic Renewal. Provided the Pilot is still active, or is still active at the time of the renewal, the Order Form will be automatically renewed at the then-current pricing for the Devices as set forth in the Insight and HP portal for pricing (“Flex Portal”), on the then current terms and conditions set forth in the Pilot (or, to the extent HP elects to transition the Pilot into an official offering, the full program), for the following additional renewal periods:
    1. With the exception of the States of New York and Wisconsin, each auto-renewal period will be twelve (12) months.

Insight may also change credit terms or payment terms due to materially adverse changes in Client’s financial condition or payment history.
  10. Limited Warranty; Exclusions. Services will be performed using generally recognized commercial practices and standards. Except as otherwise specifically provided by the third-party manufacturer or publisher of software provided hereunder, Client’s remedy for non-conforming Services shall be, upon timely notice, the re-performance of Services. This states Client’s sole remedy for warranty claims. To the extent permitted by law, Insight disclaims all other warranties, express or implied.

    Service, support and warranty commitments do not cover claims resulting from: (1) improper use, site preparation, or non-compliance with site or environmental conditions or other non-compliance with applicable Supporting Material; (2) modifications or improper system maintenance or calibration not performed by an HP Authorized Service Technician or authorized by Insight; (3) failure or functional limitations of any non-HP software or product impeding systems receiving support or service; (4) malware (e.g. virus, worm, etc.) not introduced by Insight; or (5) abuse, negligence, accident, fire or water damage, electrical disturbances, transportation by Client, or other causes beyond Insight’s control.
  11. Representation/Dependencies. Insight’s ability to deliver Services will depend on Client’s reasonable and timely cooperation and the accuracy and completeness of any information from Client needed to deliver the Services. Client’s obligations with respect to specific Services are set forth in the Flex Service Description and/or Terms Addendum below.
  12. Change Orders. From the Effective Date of the Order Form, Client has 90 days to onboard all the Devices listed in the Order Form onto HP Connect. Devices not successfully onboarded within the 90-day period will no longer be eligible for activation, and the subscription shall commence with the Devices that were successfully onboarded, if any. Should none of the Devices listed in the Order Form be successfully onboarded within the 90-day period, the Order Form will expire. If Client wants to add Devices not listed in the Order Form, or onboard inactivated Devices listed in an Order Form that has expired, then Client and Insight will need to agree on a new quote which will supersede any prior quotes or order forms.
  13. Intellectual Property Rights. No transfer of ownership of any intellectual property will occur under these Terms. Client grants Insight a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right and license to any intellectual property that is necessary for Insight and its designees to perform the ordered Services.
  14. Confidentiality. Information exchanged under these Terms will be treated as confidential if identified as such at disclosure or if the circumstances of disclosure would reasonably indicate such treatment. In addition, each Party shall comply with their respective obligations under applicable privacy and data protection legislation. Confidential information may only be used for the purpose of fulfilling obligations or exercising rights under these Terms, and shared with employees, agents or contractors with a need to know such information to support that purpose. Confidential information will be protected using a reasonable degree of care to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure for 3 years from the date of receipt or (if longer) for such period as the information remains confidential. These obligations do not cover information that: i) was known or becomes known to the receiving Party without obligation of confidentiality; ii) is independently developed by the receiving Party; or iii) where disclosure is required by law or a governmental agency.
  15. Limitation of Liability. Each Party’s aggregate liability under these Terms is limited to the amount payable by Client to Insight for the Services during the term of the Order Form in which the claim arose or $1,000,000, whichever is less. Neither Client nor Insight will be liable for lost revenues or profits, downtime costs, loss or damage to data or indirect, special or consequential costs or damages. This provision does not limit either Party’s liability for: unauthorized use of intellectual property, death or bodily injury caused by their negligence; acts of fraud; willful repudiation of the Order Form or these Terms; nor any liability which may not be excluded or limited by applicable law.
  16. Cancellation; Termination. Client or HP may cancel a Device’s subscription effective on the anniversary of the start date of the applicable Order Form, or the end of a renewal period as defined in Section 5 above, by providing written notice of 30 days or more prior to such date. These Terms may be terminated upon notice in writing by either Party for material breach if the other Party fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of the breach, or if the other Party becomes insolvent, is unable to pay its debts when due, files for bankruptcy, is subject of involuntary bankruptcy, has a receiver appointed, or has its assets assigned.
  17. Early Termination. Client may terminate its subscription at any time, without cause, by providing at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Insight and shall pay Insight:
    1. For all Services then delivered; and
    2. A cancellation fee, which shall be calculated as follows: the number of remaining months, or part months, in the subscription until the subsequent anniversary date of the Order Form, multiplied by the monthly tier Price of the then-current lowest volume tier without overages. Client’s payment of this cancellation fee is a genuine pre-estimate of the damages resulting from the early termination and is not a penalty.
  18. Effect of Termination. After notice of a termination of the Order Form is effective (whether an early termination or otherwise), entitlement to Services and supplies will immediately stop.
  19. General. These Terms represents our entire understanding with respect to its subject matter and supersedes any previous communication or agreements that may exist. Modifications to the Order Form will be made only through a written amendment signed by both Parties. Any terms in these Terms which by their nature extend beyond the termination or expiration of these Terms will remain in effect until fulfilled and will apply to both Parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns. These Terms may be executed in counterparts, all of which together shall constitute the same document. A facsimile or other copy containing the signatures of both Parties shall be as enforceable as the original executed Order Form. The failure of either Party to enforce at any time any provision of these Terms shall not be construed to be a waiver or any breach of these terms and conditions and shall not be construed as a waiver of any other term or condition. Except for payment obligations, neither Party will be liable for performance delays or for non-performance due to causes beyond its reasonable control. These Terms will be governed by the laws of the state of Arizona, excluding rules as to choice and conflict of law.
