<br />7. Fees and Taxes.
<br />7.1 Fees. The Platform may be provided for a fee or other charge. Customer shall pay BS&A the fees (“Fees”)
<br />identified in the Order without offset or deduction at the cadence identified in the Order (e.g., monthly or annually). BS&A
<br />may increase the Fees annually, provided that BS&A will provide Customer at least thirty (30) days’ notice of such increase
<br />prior to the end of the then-current Term. The amount of the Fee increase will be in BS&A’s sole discretion, provided that
<br />Customer agrees that the increase may be at least the greater of: (i) five percent (5%); or (ii) the annual increase in the
<br />relevant Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the then-current
<br />calendar year, in each case as compared to the Fees applicable during then-current Term, as applicable. Fees paid by
<br />Customer are non-refundable. Customer shall make all payments hereunder in US dollars by ACH or via another reasonable
<br />method chosen by BS&A, to such account as BS&A may specify in writing from time to time, or by another mutually agreed-
<br />upon payment method. If Customer pays via invoice, Customer will pay the invoiced amount within thirty (30) calendar
<br />days of the invoice date. If Customer fails to make any payment when due, and Customer has not notified BS&A in writing
<br />within twenty (20) days after the payment becoming due and payable that the payment is subject to a good faith dispute,
<br />without limiting BS&A’s other rights and remedies, and to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law: (i) BS&A
<br />may charge interest on the undisputed past due amount at the rate of 1.5% per month, calculated daily and compounded
<br />monthly or, if lower, the highest rate permitted under applicable law; (ii) Customer shall reimburse BS&A for all reasonable
<br />costs incurred by BS&A in collecting any late payments or interest, including attorneys’ fees, court costs, and collection
<br />agency fees; and (iii) if such failure continues for ten (10) days or more, BS&A may suspend Customer’s and its Authorized
<br />Users’ access to all or any part of the Platform until such amounts are paid in full.
<br />7.2 Taxes. All Fees and other amounts payable by Customer under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes
<br />and similar assessments. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties,
<br />and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts
<br />payable by Customer hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on BS&A’s income.
<br />8. Confidential Information.
<br />8.1 Definition. From time to time during the Subscription Period, either Party may disclose or make available
<br />to the other Party information about its business affairs, products, confidential intellectual property, trade secrets, third-
<br />party confidential information, and other sensitive or proprietary information, whether orally or in written, electronic, or
<br />other form or media that: (i) is marked, designated or otherwise identified as “confidential” or something similar at the
<br />time of disclosure or within a reasonable period of time thereafter; or (ii) would be considered confidential by a reasonable

<br />reference to, or reliance upon the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (e) data that is public under Minnesota
<br />Statutes Chapter 13 (the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act), or other applicable law.
<br />8.2 Duty. The receiving Party shall not disclose the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any person
<br />or entity, except to the receiving Party’s employees, contractors, and agents who have a need to know the Confidential
<br />Information for the receiving Party to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder (“Representatives”). The
<br />receiving Party will be responsible for all the acts and omissions of its Representatives as they relate to Confidential
<br />Information hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited
<br />extent required (i) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to
<br />comply with applicable law, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given
<br />written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order; or (ii) to establish a Party’s
<br />Commented [CS1]: I would add a part (e) for “data that is
