DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Binding Arbitration
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT
WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA")
and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the
American Arbitration Association (AAA) website
. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be
excessive, we will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not
provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable
AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Denver, Colorado. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to
confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the
state and federal courts located in Denver, Colorado
, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Legal Terms.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Services be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then
neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts
listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
Restrictions
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or
authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of
the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Arbitration
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual
property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal
or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction
within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

MISCELLANEOUS
These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any

27. CONFIDENTIALITY
a. The Parties hereby agree that all information provided by either party under this Agreement or designated by the disclosing party in writing shall, unless as otherwise provided in this subsection, be considered
Confidential Information (“Confidential Information”) and shall not be reproduced, transmitted, used or disclosed (directly or indirectly) by either party without the written consent of the disclosing party,
except as may be necessary for the non-disclosing to fulfill its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, Confidential Information shall not include any information, or portion thereof, which is either previously
known to the non-disclosing party or within the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the non-disclosing party. b. Consultant understands and acknowledges that Consultant’s job results in acquiring and having
access to both Confidential Information and trade secrets (as defined by Colorado law) of Client. Except as may be required by Consultant’s duties for Client, Consultant shall (i) not directly or indirectly use, copy
or duplicate, or disclose or otherwise make available to any third party, any Confidential Information (as defined below) other than in the scope of Consultant’s work for Client; (ii) take such protective measures as
may be reasonably necessary to preserve the secrecy and interest of Client in the Confidential Information. If Consultant becomes aware of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information by any person or
entity, Consultant shall promptly and fully advise Client of all facts known to Consultant concerning such unauthorized use or disclosure. At any time during the term or at any time thereafter, upon reasonable request of
Client and at Client's expense, Consultant shall provide reasonable assistance to Client with respect to any litigation, arbitration or any other dispute with a third party concerning the unauthorized use or disclosure by
such third party of any Confidential Information provided such litigation, arbitration or other dispute is commenced during the term or within two (2) years thereafter. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason
whatsoever, or at any time requested by Client, Consultant shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered any and all Confidential Information in Consultant's possession, custody or control. Upon termination of Consultant's
contract (for any reason), Consultant shall surrender to Client all property in Consultant's possession, including but not limited to, confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets belonging to Client.
28. OWNERSHIP AND REUSE OF DOCUMENTS
a. All non-proprietary data, information, reports, drawings, renderings, or other documents or materials prepared by Consultant and delivered to Client hereunder shall become the property of Consultant and Client, whether or
not the work product developed from the services covered thereby is put into use (“Non-Proprietary Deliverables”). Consultant may retain a record copy of the Non-Proprietary Deliverables for its file. Consultant
shall be permitted to reuse documents, data, software, and all other produced work for Consultant’s other clients, Research and Development work, and all other business activities. b. Notwithstanding the above, Client
acknowledges that Consultant may use its own proprietary procedures, tools, software and techniques to produce the work requested by Client, and that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to convey ownership to Client
(joint or otherwise) of such proprietary procedures, tools, software and techniques.

All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder (each, a “Notice”) shall be in writing and shall occur by and through Client’s portal system
(“SumerLink”), or by e-mail. Written communications through the Portal shall also serve as a writing for the purposes of any provision in this Agreement requiring written approval, settlement, or authorization.

31. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBCONTRACTORS
a. Client acknowledges that Consultant may subcontract some or all of the Services provided for under this Agreement to other Service Providers according to written independent contractor agreements with said service
providers (“Service Provider Agreement”). Client will be provided written notice upon assigning the Service to any Service Provider. Consultant will ensure that any Service Provider Agreement will contain
provisions regarding the protection of confidential information and nondisclosure of Confidential Information which impose requirements which are at least as stringent as those imposed upon Consultant pursuant to this
Agreement. Consultant shall remain liable to Client for all obligations and liabilities set forth in this Agreement. b. Client acknowledges that Consultant’s business derives value from its relationship with and
knowledge of subcontractors capable of performing the Services contemplated by this Agreement. Client also acknowledges that Consultant has undertaken substantial effort to locate and coordinate the efforts of suitable
subcontractors to provide the Services contemplated by this Agreement, that this information is confidential and proprietary to Consultant, and that Consultant is compensated for these efforts through its arrangements with
its subcontractors, and that Client benefits from these efforts. In acknowledgement of the above, Client agrees that, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of one year from after the termination of this
Agreement, neither Client or Client’s affiliates will solicit or recruit any subcontractor subcontracted by Consultant in connection with this Agreement to perform services directly related to the Services without the
prior written consent of Consultant.
