Themis reserves the right to provide the Confidential Information to third parties as required and permitted by law (such as in response to a subpoena or court order), and to cooperate with law enforcement authorities in the investigation of any criminal or civil matter.
If Themis is required by law to make any disclosure of the Confidential Information that is prohibited or otherwise constrained by this Agreement, then Themis will provide Subscriber with prompt written notice (to the extent permitted by law) prior to such disclosure so that the Subscriber may seek a protective order or other appropriate relief. Subject to the foregoing sentence, Themis may furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information that it is legally compelled or otherwise legally required to disclose.
7.2 Themis will only accept legal requests for production of Content or other Confidential Information through the procedures listed on https://marketing.dev.clio.systems/au/legal-service.
8. Managed Backup and Archiving
8.1 Themis’s managed backup services must be designed to facilitate restoration of Content to the server or device from which the Content originated in the event the primary data is lost or corrupted. Themis shall ensure recovery of the last backup of lost or corrupted Content at no cost to you. Following any cancellation or termination of Service for any reason, Subscriber shall have ninety days to retrieve any and all Content.
9. Payment, Refunds, and Subscription Changes
9.1 Subscribers with paid subscriptions will provide Themis with a valid credit card for payment of the applicable subscription fees. All subscription fees are exclusive of all federal, state, provincial, municipal, or other taxes which Subscribers agree to pay based on where the Subscriber is located. Invoices will include (i) subscription fees and (ii) all applicable sales, goods and services or value-added taxes, as amended from time to time, for the jurisdiction in which the Subscriber is located. In the event of updated tax rates, Themis will apply the new tax rate without notice to the Subscriber. In addition to any fees, the Subscriber may still incur charges incidental to using the Service, for example, charges for Internet access, data roaming, and other data transmission charges.
9.2 Subscribers with monthly paying subscriptions will be charged upon the expiration of any applicable free trial period. Subscriptions cancelled prior to the expiration of any trial period, will not be charged. Monthly Subscribers will thereafter be charged in advance each 30 days. Annual Subscribers will thereafter be charged annually on the anniversary date of the initial subscription charge. To the extent permitted by law and except as provided in this Agreement, all charges are final and non-refundable, including payments made by Annual Subscribers, setup fees, and other professional services charges.
Subscribers who purchased setup or professional services, like tailored live training, customized forms and documents, or migration services, must initiate those services within sixty (60) days (Service Window) following their purchase. Absent a separate invoice, the date of purchase for setup or professional services will be deemed to be the initial date of entry of a valid credit card for payment as required in Section 9.1. Failure of the Subscriber to initiate purchased setup or professional services within Service Window will result in those services no longer being available and no refund will be issued.
9.3 To the extent permitted by law and except as expressly provided by this Agreement, no refunds or credits will be issued for partial periods of service, upgrade/downgrade refunds, or refunds for periods unused with an active subscription, including, but not limited to, instances involving the removal of a Subscriber.
9.4 There are no charges for cancelling a subscription and paying subscriptions cancelled prior to the end of their current billing cycle will not be charged again in the following cycle.
9.5 The amount charged on the next billing cycle will be automatically updated to reflect any changes to the subscription, including upgrades or downgrades, and including the addition or removal of discounts included for the purchase of suite services. Adding Authorized User subscriptions or subscription upgrades will trigger prorated charges in the current billing cycle. Subscriber authorizes Themis to apply updated charge amounts. Subscription changes, including downgrades, may result in loss of access to Content, features, or an increase or reduction in the amount of available capacity for Content provided by the Service.
9.6 All prices are subject to change upon notice. Such notice may be provided by an e-mail message to the Administrator, or in the form of an announcement on the Service.
9.7 Subscriber is responsible for paying all taxes associated with the subscription to the Service. If Themis has the legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which Subscriber is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount shall be charged to and paid by Subscriber, unless Subscriber provides Themis with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
9.8 Any and all payments by or on account of the compensation payable under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any taxes. If the Subscriber is required to deduct or withhold any taxes from such payments, then the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions or withholdings, Themis receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
10. Cancellation and Termination
10.1 Administrators are solely responsible for canceling subscriptions. An Administrator may cancel their subscription at any time by accessing the Service and visiting au.app.clio.com/settings/subscription/edit as applicable. For security reasons, cancellations shall only be performed by an Administrator using the account cancellation URL within the Service. The Administrator may be directed, within the Service, to call support to complete the cancellation. Cancellations shall not be accepted by any other means.
10.2 Themis in its sole discretion has the right to suspend or discontinue providing the Service to any Subscriber without notice for actions that are (a) in material violation of this Agreement or (b) create a Security Emergency.
10.3 If (i) Authorized Users use the Service to materially violate this Agreement in a way that does not create a Security Emergency; (ii) Themis provides Subscriber with commercially reasonable notice of this violation; (iii) Themis uses commercially reasonable efforts to discuss and resolve the violation with Subscriber; and (iv) despite the foregoing, the violation is not resolved to Themis’s reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days of such notice, then Themis reserves the right to suspend access to the Service.
10.4 As required by Section 8 above (“Managed Backup and Archiving”), upon cancellation or termination of a subscription, Content is made available to the Administrator or a designated Authorized User. Following a period of no less than ninety (90) days from the cancellation or termination of a subscription, all Content associated with such subscription will be irrevocably deleted from the Service. All Escrowed Data, if any, will continue to remain available for a period of six months upon cancellation or termination of a subscription in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
11. Limitation of Liability
11.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, except as provided in Section 13.2 below (“Indemnification”), Themis shall not be liable for and Subscriber waives the right to claim any loss, injury, claim, liability or damage of any kind resulting in any way from the Services provided to Subscriber by Themis. For any liability that cannot be excluded but can be limited, Themis’s liability is limited to Themis’s choice of re-supplying the services or paying the cost of re-supplying the services.
11.2 Subscriber agrees that Themis is not and will not be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever (including without limitation, attorney fees) relating to this agreement. These disclaimers apply regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, whether those damages are foreseeable and whether Themis has been advised of the possibility of those damages. These disclaimers are not applicable to the indemnification obligation set forth in section 13.2 or in respect of liability which Themis may not lawfully exclude. Each provision of this agreement that provides for a limitation of liability, disclaimer of damages, or exclusion of damages is to allocate the risks of this agreement between the parties. This allocation is reflected in the pricing offered by Themis to Subscriber and is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between the parties. Each of these provisions is severable from and independent of all other provisions of this agreement.
11.3 Subscriber will solely be responsible for any damage and/or loss of Content contained in Subscriber’s technology which occurs as a result of Subscriber’s electronic equipment and/or Subscriber’s computer system.
12. Disclaimer of Warranties

Nothing in this section 12.1 shall modify Themis’s obligation to indemnify Subscriber as required by section 13.2 of this agreement (“Indemnification”) or Themis’s non-excludable liability to consumers under the Australian Consumer Law or similar state or territory legislation.
12.2 Themis makes no warranty that its services when provided to Subscriber in digital or electronic format will be compatible with Subscriber computer and/or other equipment, or that these Services will be secure or error free.

Nothing in this Section 12.2 shall modify Themis’s obligations under Section 4 above (“Confidentiality”) or Section 5 above (“Security and Access”) or Themis’s obligation to indemnify you as required by Section 13.2(b) of this Agreement (“Indemnification”).
12.3 Themis hereby disclaims all warranties of any kind related to Subscriber’s hardware or software beyond the warranties provided by the manufacturer of Subscriber’s hardware or software.

b. Authorized Users’ negligent acts or omissions.
Themis will provide prompt notice to Subscriber of any indemnifiable event or loss. Subscriber will undertake, at Subscriber’s own cost, the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably acceptable to Themis. Themis reserves the right to participate in the defense of the claim, suit, or proceeding, at Themis’ expense, with counsel of Themis’ choosing.
13.2 Themis shall defend, indemnify and hold Subscriber harmless against any loss, damage or costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with claims, demands, suits, or proceedings (“Claims”) made or brought against Subscriber by a third party
a. alleging that the Service, or use of the Service as contemplated hereunder, infringes a copyright, a U.S. or Australian patent issued as of the date of final execution of this Agreement, or a trademark of a third party or involves the misappropriation of any trade secret of a third party; provided, however, that Subscriber:
(a) promptly gives written notice of the Claim to Themis (provided, however, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve Themis of its indemnification obligations unless Themis can show that it was materially prejudiced by such delay and then only to the extent of such prejudice); (b) gives Themis sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (provided that Themis may not settle any Claim unless it unconditionally releases Subscriber of all liability); and (c) provides to Themis, at Themis’s cost, all reasonable assistance. Themis shall not be required to indemnify Subscriber in the event of: (x) modification of the Service by Subscriber in conflict with Subscriber’s obligations or as a result of any prohibited activity as set forth herein to the extent that the infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred but for such modification; (y) use of the Service in combination with any other product or service not provided by Themis to the extent that the infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred but for such use; or (z) use of the Service in a manner not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement to the extent that the infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred but for such use; or
b. arising out of or related to a violation by Themis of its obligations under Section 4 above (“Confidentiality”).

Such Third Party Services are not “Services” under this Agreement and are not subject to any terms related to Services, including related warranties, indemnities, service commitments or other obligations .

Subscriber agrees to accept that risk and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Themis will not be liable for any loss, damage, or injury resulting from the interception of information. The Content is stored securely and encrypted. Only Themis, with strict business reasons, may access and transfer the Content and only to provide Subscriber with the Service. Themis will make reasonable efforts to provide notice to Subscriber prior to such access and transfer. Themis’ actions will comply with its obligations under Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement.
