2. IDEXX's Extended Support Commitment

2.1 If your covered in-house diagnostic instrument or digital imaging product (other than Embedded Software (as defined in the General Terms) and the IDEXX VetLab Station Software) does not conform to our Documentation during the Term (as defined in Section 8), IDEXX will, at our option, either repair or replace it with new parts or equipment, or serviceable used parts or equipment, that are equivalent or superior to new parts in performance.

2.2 If your Embedded Software or IDEXX VetLab Station Software does not perform substantially in accordance with our Documentation during the Term, IDEXX will use commercially reasonable efforts to modify it or make it conforming. '

2.3 IDEXX will fulfill its obligations under this Section pursuant to its Support Guidelines described herein and subject to the exclusions provided herein; provided that IDEXX reserves the right to refuse to provide service to you if you are in breach of any provisions in these IDEXXCare Plus terms.

3. Support Guidelines

3.1 IDEXX will provide support during normal business hours at IDEXX service locations, except holidays. You must make any claim within the applicable coverage period. In case of malfunction, you must first contact IDEXX Customer Support by telephone at IDEXX’s number provided in your product Documentation. IDEXX telephone support is available 24 hours a day, seven days per week, except holidays. IDEXX’s support personnel will guide you in your attempt to correct your reported problems. If telephone or electronic support (as described in Sections 3.2 and 3.3) is not successful, IDEXX will provide you with further instructions. IDEXX has no obligation to provide on-site service. If it is necessary to return the product, you must do so to IDEXX’s designated facility for examination. Products may not be returned unless we have issued you a return material authorization. Before you return any applicable product, we strongly recommend that you perform a system back-up on the product and archive your data to minimize loss. We pay shipping costs for authorized returns to and from our authorized facilities. You are responsible for costs associated with unauthorized returns, and for returns not covered by IDEXXCare Plus; we will bill you for repairs at our then-standard rates. All parts and products subject to exchange for different parts and products from IDEXX become the property of IDEXX.

3.2 If you wish to receive electronic support on instruments for which such support is available, you must maintain an electronic link-up with IDEXX as IDEXX may direct from time to time.

3.3 IDEXX will ship you loaner equipment if IDEXX elects to repair rather than replace your equipment and the time required to complete repairs exceeds 72 hours from receipt at IDEXX’s repair facility, or otherwise at IDEXX’s sole discretion. You shall pack and return-ship to IDEXX the malfunctioning equipment the next business day after your receipt of loaner equipment. IDEXX will ship you the repaired equipment and you shall pack and return-ship the loaner equipment to IDEXX within two (2) business days after your receipt of the repaired equipment.

3.4 If IDEXX elects to replace your equipment, IDEXX will ship you a replacement unit within 24 hours, during normal business hours, Monday-Friday, excluding holidays. You shall pack and return-ship IDEXX the malfunctioning equipment within two (2) business days after your receipt of the replacement equipment. Delayed returns are subject to daily rental charges at IDEXX’s then-current rate.

3.5 For Embedded Software and the IDEXX VetLab Station Software, IDEXX will use reasonable commercial efforts to: (1) report, track and monitor problems via the Internet, if available, (2) determine, verify and resolve problems by telephone on a callback basis during normal business hours at our service locations, Monday-Friday, except holidays, and (3) provide periodic modifications that IDEXX otherwise makes generally available to other supported customers free of charge. IDEXX will provide support only for the two (2) most current release versions of the Embedded Software and the IDEXX VetLab Station Software. At our option, you may be required to upgrade to the then-current version of the the Embedded Software and the IDEXX VetLab Station Software. If you have a networked installation, and if a system malfunction occurs, you are responsible for contacting your network support provider first to determine that the issue is not due to network problems before contacting IDEXX for product support. On-site support is not included.

4. Your Obligations

You must take reasonable care of the products, maintain them in a clean and appropriate environment, and carry out any routine maintenance we recommend in the applicable Documentation, including user guides, or otherwise communicated to you from time to time. You must also provide reasonable supporting data to help identify reported problems. You must promptly install new release versions of Embedded Software and the IDEXX VetLab Station Software that we may periodically send you, and you must upgrade its operating system software as we may periodically recommend. You must treat any software patch, update, upgrade, modification or other enhancement that we may provide as “software” under your original license from us and use them only as permitted by that license. When we issue a software update, if your existing hardware does not meet minimum requirements to support that update, you will be responsible for updating your hardware; provided, however, that in certain circumstances we may choose, at our sole discretion, to provide updated IDEXX VetLab Station hardware to you.

5. Exclusions for Improper Use; Other Exclusions

5.1 IDEXX cannot assure you of the performance of our products if your use of such products is not in strict compliance with our product Documentation, if you use them on or in conjunction with products or services not authorized or provided and configured by us, or if you install unapproved software applications on our products, such as Third -Party drivers. Failure to use only products or services authorized or provided and configured by us in or on your products voids your IDEXXCare Plus coverage and our obligations to you.

5.2 Our obligations under IDEXXCare Plus do not cover damage resulting from any causes external to our products, such as negligence or improper use or handling; casualty; external electrical fault; failure to follow packing or shipping instructions; use of unauthorized products in conjunction with our products; computer viruses, spyware, malware, worms or other harmful programs; or repairs or modifications made by anyone other than IDEXX or its authorized service providers. We will repair normal wear-and-tear damage only to the extent required for proper functioning of equipment; cosmetic damage is not covered.

5.3 Except as expressly set forth in this Section, our obligations under IDEXXCare Plus do not cover x-ray generators and tables or expendable or consumable parts included with covered products, such as fuses, batteries, bulbs, cables, power cords, adaptors, pipettors, calibrators, print heads, keyboards, mice, ribbons, tapes, CDs, computed radiography cassettes and cassette assemblies or other supplies or media, or Third Party products, such as printers or non-IDEXX software, all of which are provided to you on an "AS IS" basis. Third Party product suppliers may provide their own warranties or extended support coverage. VetLyte Electrolyte Analyzer gold level coverage includes coverage on electrodes, electrode housings, tubing sets and cleaning and conditioning solutions.

5.4 If we determine that the reported problem is not covered under IDEXXCare Plus, you must reimburse us for the costs of equipment shipping. At your instruction, we will (a) attempt to repair/replace the product at your cost, at our then-standard rates for such work, or (b) return the product to you at your cost, and in such case, you will return any loaner or replacement equipment to us at your cost.

6. Maintenance Fees and Renewal Terms

If we have authorized you to pay in installments, such arrangement is an accommodation to you, and you remain obligated to pay the entire fee for the Term (as defined in Section 8). If you order additional products, your maintenance fee may increase. The maintenance fee for any Renewal Term (as defined in Section 8) will be our then-current fee. We may invoice you for Renewal Terms before the current Term expires. If we do not receive payment of the maintenance fee in accordance with our invoices to you, or before the beginning of the Initial Term (as defined in Section 8) or any Renewal Term, then we reserve the right to terminate IDEXXCare Plus coverage immediately, including any IDEXX warranty or support obligations to you.

7. Coverage Gaps and Inspections

If your equipment is not under warranty or currently under IDEXXCare Plus coverage, we may at our option require an inspection of your equipment before we agree to provide IDEXXCare Plus coverage (a “Warranty Inspection”). We may charge you our then-standard rates for Warranty Inspections, and if repairs are required, we may either charge you for such repairs (including parts) at our then-standard rates, exclude repairs to parts that have exceeded their reasonable life from IDEXXCare Plus coverage, or vary your maintenance fee accordingly. If your IDEXXCare Plus coverage lapses, and you desire to resume such coverage, resumption of coverage will be at our discretion, may be subject to a Warranty Inspection, and we may charge you the applicable maintenance fees for the period of lapsed coverage.

8. Term; Termination

8.1 The initial term of this IDEXXCare Plus coverage (“Initial Term”) begins and ends on the dates specified on the Order Form or in our invoice to you, after which it automatically renews (each a “Renewal Term”) (a) in the case of IDEXX in-house diagnostic instruments, for successive like terms, and (b) in the case of IDEXX digital imaging products, for successive one (1) year terms, in each case unless either party gives written notice of its intent not to renew no later than thirty (30) days before the expiration of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term. The Initial Term together with any Renewal Term(s), is the “Term.” During the Term, our obligations pursuant to Section 2 above for any particular covered product become effective only upon the expiration of your standard product warranty period for such covered product.

8.2 You may terminate your IDEXXCare Plus coverage without cause upon written notice to us. We may terminate your IDEXXCare Plus coverage without cause upon 30 days written notice to you.

8.3 In the case of termination by you without cause or termination by us due to your breach, you remain obligated to pay any outstanding invoices. Further, you may be required to make additional payment to us as described in the following sentence if any service events have occurred during the then-current maintenance period (i.e., the Initial Term or, if IDEXXCare Plus coverage has extended beyond the Initial Term, the most recent Renewal Term). If service events have occurred during the then-current maintenance period and the cost of service (calculated at our then-current rates at the time of service) and shipping exceeds the maintenance fee you have been invoiced for the then-current maintenance period through the date of termination, then you must pay us the difference (but in no event more than the full maintenance fee you would have paid for the current maintenance period).

8.4 If we terminate other than for your breach, or if you terminate due to our modification of IDEXXCare Plus coverage during the then-current maintenance period, IDEXX will refund to you a pro rata portion of the maintenance fee for the then-current maintenance period.

IDEXX Analyzers Using Pay Per Run Fee Model

The below Offering Specific Terms form part of the One IDEXX Master Terms and are hereby incorporated therein.

1. Pay Per Run. When you purchase an IDEXX analyzer that uses the pay per run fee model (currently the IDEXX Sedivue DxTM Urine Sediment Analyzer and the ProCyte OneTM Hematology Analyzer) (the “PPR Analyzers”), you will be charged our then-current list “Pay Per Run” fee (“PPR Fee”) each time you run the PPR Analyzer successfully, invoiced monthly. We will provide you without any additional charge, consistent with your anticipated consumption rate, the consumables required to operate the PPR Analyzer, provided that quality-control products may be subject to IDEXX’s then-current list price for such products.

2. SmartService Connection Requirement. Use of the PPR Analyzer requires a connection between the PPR Analyzer and IDEXX SmartService™ Solutions (“SmartService”) as well as your IDEXX VetLab® Station. Please refer to the Offering Specific Terms for SmartService for further terms. It is your sole responsibility to ensure SmartService is activated and connected when running tests on the PPR Analyzer.

3. IDEXX Rights. If you fail to maintain the connection with SmartService and your IDEXX VetLab® Station or fail to pay your PPR Fees or other fees, and we are unable to resolve the matter amicably in what we believe is a reasonable timeframe, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies granted or available to IDEXX under the master terms or otherwise, IDEXX may invoice you the PPR Fee and other fees for any consumables provided to you less the number of PPR Analyzer runs made according to our records, revoke the right to use and disable your access to the Embedded Software in the PPR Analyzer without further liability to you, and IDEXX shall be under no obligation to provide the right to use or access to the Embedded Software while SmartService or your IDEXX VetLab® Station (as applicable) remains disconnected due to your act or omission or while the invoice(s) concerned remain(s) unpaid.

SmartService

The below Offering Specific Terms form part of the One IDEXX Master Terms and are hereby incorporated therein.

1. SmartService. These Offering Specific Terms describe additional terms for the SmartService intelligent device management service (“SmartService”) for IDEXX equipment such as diagnostic instruments, laboratory information and practice management systems, digital cytology and radiograph products, and related computers (“IDEXX Equipment”).

2. Scope of Service. Upon your acceptance of IDEXX’s Master Terms, including these Offering Specific Terms, device relationship management (“DRM”) software, which is already installed on your IDEXX Equipment, shall be activated to permit us to remotely access the IDEXX Equipment for the purpose of providing SmartService. SmartService will enable IDEXX to remotely monitor, troubleshoot, diagnose, and service your IDEXX Equipment and the devices connected to it from your practice site. SmartService will also include remote upgrades of your IDEXX Equipment software and the software within connected devices. In order to provide SmartService, we will remotely access and pull specific data that will help us diagnose and solve equipment performance issues, as well as patient (pet) name, age and breed, client (pet owner) name, and test information and analyses on a per test run basis. SmartService, as described herein, is free of charge, provided that you have an extended maintenance agreement (such as IDEXXCare Plus) with us for your IDEXX Equipment. Any expanded features that we may offer in the future, including database backups and restores, utilization reports, and patient report cards, may be offered for an additional fee. SmartService may not be available for all IDEXX products owned or used by you. For those products for which remote service is not available, service will be provided as set forth in the relevant extended maintenance agreement. In the event your extended maintenance agreement with us is terminated, we may, at our sole election, cease providing remote technical support, but continue to provide you with remote software upgrades or other portions of SmartService using the DRM software without charging a fee. If we elect to continue to provide services through the DRM software, these terms (including our ability to download and use your data as described in this paragraph and in Section 4 below) will remain in place. If you wish to have the DRM software deactivated and our ability to remotely access the IDEXX Equipment terminated, you must notify us in writing by sending an email to smartservice@idexx.com.

3. Technical Environment. In order to use SmartService, you must have a high speed internet connection. You shall provide and incur the cost of the IDEXX Equipment and the high speed internet connection as specified by us. You shall provide the appropriate network connectivity for SmartService to operate properly. The DRM software used with SmartService includes security features to permit only authorized personnel to access the IDEXX Equipment.

4. IDEXX as Data Controller and Data Processor. IDEXX is committed to the proper processing of personal data and has adopted a Privacy Policy which sets out the processing of personal data for which IDEXX acts as a data controller. The Privacy Policy can be found at www.idexx.com. In addition, IDEXX acts as a data processor for the processing activities that it performs through SmartService on behalf of and on the instructions of the users. If you are subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679, or any of the other data protection laws identified here (together, “Data Protection Laws”), our processing activities are described in and are subject to the IDEXX Customer Data Processing Agreement and the DPA Schedule for SmartService (collectively, the “DPA”), each found here. The DPA shall form an integral part of this Agreement in accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws.

IDEXX Test Promise

The below Offering Specific Terms form part of the One IDEXX Master Terms and are hereby incorporated therein.

1. IDEXX Test Promise. If an IDEXX test listed under “Product Coverage” below does not perform as stated in our published specifications, call IDEXX customer support and we will credit your IDEXX Points account with 100% of the value of the IDEXX consumable product used to perform that test and/or 100% of the value of the IDEXX Reference Laboratories test, subject to the terms and conditions below. Items covered by IDEXXCare Plus and replacement parts are not eligible for reimbursement.

For instance, if one test out of a multi-test package does not perform as promised, we will credit your account based on the list price of the single test. IDEXX Reference Laboratories compensation is based on the price paid, not the list price.

3. Product Coverage. The following products and services are eligible for coverage:

4. Program Modification or Termination. IDEXX reserves the right to modify or end the IDEXX Test Promise program at any time without notice.

IDEXX Points

The below Offering Specific Terms form part of the One IDEXX Master Terms and are hereby incorporated therein.

1. IDEXX Points Program. The IDEXX Points program allows customers to earn points through several points-earning programs. Points may only be earned if you purchase qualifying products and services from IDEXX (or, for Canadian customers, from an authorized IDEXX reseller). Each IDEXX Point is equal in value to one dollar that can be used to purchase IDEXX products or services, such as in-house analyzers and associated reagents, IDEXXCare Plus, SNAP® tests, diagnostic imaging systems, IDEXX veterinary practice management software, IDEXX Reference Laboratories testing, and more. Purchases made with IDEXX Points include standard shipping and are subject to any applicable sales tax. IDEXX Points are not redeemable for cash. IDEXX Points-earning programs run on varying schedules. IDEXX will deposit points (based on your qualified activities) to your IDEXX Points account at the end of each program's point-earning period. IDEXX will provide quarterly statements to you that summarize your purchases, redemptions and IDEXX Points balance for any quarter in which your IDEXX Points account is active.

2. Points Calculations. IDEXX Points will be calculated after discounts from other programs sponsored by IDEXX or its distributors have been applied. You will not be able to earn or use points if you are delinquent with any IDEXX affiliate, and IDEXX reserves the right to apply your points toward a delinquency.

3. Points Expiration. IDEXX Points expire annually on November 30, two years after the points were earned. For example, points earned on February 20, 2022, will expire on November 30, 2024. (However, IDEXX Points earned in December will expire one year and 11 months after they were earned.) Points will be redeemed or expired in the order they were earned. If your practice has not made IDEXX purchases in a 12-month period, all points will expire and the IDEXX Points account will be closed.

4. Points Through In-House Profile Programs. In order to earn IDEXX Points through an In-House Profile program, you must leave your IDEXX VetLab® Station and IDEXX SmartService™ Solutions (“SmartService”) on and connected at all times. Please refer to the Offering Specific Terms for SmartService for further terms. IDEXX is not responsible for paying on In-House Profile activity that takes place while your IDEXX VetLab Station or SmartService is turned off or not connected properly.

5. Multiple Practices. IDEXX will track your activities by shipping address. If you own multiple practices, you must provide all practice addresses to IDEXX at the time of enrollment to receive credit for those locations. If practices are linked in this manner, they will have one group account and any practice in the group can redeem the group's earned IDEXX Points. IDEXX is not responsible for mediating any disputes regarding point ownership or redemptions among related practices. You must provide any change of address to IDEXX at the time of change.

6. Ownership and Transfer. IDEXX Points are owned and held by practices and not by individuals. Purchased products and services must be consumed by your practice(s) and may not be sold or otherwise transferred to any other practice except in conjunction with a change in ownership of the practice. If a point balance is being transferred as part of an ownership change, authorized representatives of both the seller and the buyer must notify IDEXX within 30 days of the ownership change.

7. Eligibility. IDEXX may, from time to time, offer other promotional or discount programs that may not be used in conjunction with this program. This program is only available in the U.S. and Canada. Corporate accounts, distributors, shelters and other nonprofit organizations may not be eligible to earn IDEXX Points or participate in IDEXX Points-earning programs. IDEXX reserves the right to determine eligibility in any IDEXX Points-earning program. Contact your IDEXX representative for more details on program availability.

8. Program Modification or Termination. IDEXX reserves the right to modify or end this program or your participation in this program at any time. Continuing participation in IDEXX Points-earning opportunities confirms your acceptance of these current terms.

We will make commercially reasonable efforts to inform you if we receive specimens in damaged, contaminated or improperly preserved condition, or specimens that do not meet specimen volume requirements. We assume the risk of loss or damage to a specimen at the time we receive it.

Connectivity Services

The below Offering Specific Terms form part of the One IDEXX Master Terms and are hereby incorporated therein.

1. Connectivity Services. IDEXX Smartlink and IDEXX Interlink enable sharing of information between your IDEXX equipment and your practice information management software ("PIMS"), whether licensed to you from IDEXX or a Third Party. IDEXX SmartService intelligent device management service (“SmartService”) enables a connection between your IDEXX instruments and IDEXX as described in the Offering Specific Terms for SmartService. The services described in this section are collectively referred to as your "Connectivity Services".

2. Installation of Connectivity Services. The installation of IDEXX diagnostic instruments and digital imaging products is separate from the installation of connections with your PIMS or IDEXX SmartService. The installation of your Connectivity Services may be conducted only after delivery and installation of your IDEXX equipment. You may be required, at your cost, to enter into a contract for service or installation, or to purchase additional hardware or software, in order to make the Connectivity Services function properly and allow sharing of information between your IDEXX equipment and your practice management software or IDEXX.

3. Connection with Third Party Practice Management Software. We do not warrant connectivity of IDEXX equipment with Third Party practice management software or performance of data sharing (including without limitation diagnostic results) with Third Party practice management software. WE PROVIDE THE NECESSARY INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTATION TO MANY PRACTICE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE PROVIDERS IN ORDER FOR THEM TO PREPARE THEIR HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE SYSTEMS FOR CONNECTIVITY. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT YOUR PRACTICE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE IS PREPARED TO CONNECT WITH IDEXX EQUIPMENT. If you decide not to purchase any additional software and hardware required for the Connectivity Services to function, you are not entitled to rescind your purchase of your IDEXX diagnostic instruments or digital imaging products.

4. Additional Terms. We do not warrant performance of the Connectivity Services unless and until you have installed an Internet connection or such additional hardware or software as we determine is necessary. At the time of installation of IDEXX SmartLink technology, the warranty contained in the Software Offering Specific Terms applicable to your purchase of Cornerstone software will apply. At the time of installation of SmartService, the terms and conditions contained in the SmartService Software Specific Offering Terms will apply. At the time of installation of IDEXX InterLink technology, the Software Offering Specific Terms in Section 5 (IDEXX InterLink Application Terms) below will apply.

5. IDEXX InterLink Application Terms

5.1 InterLink permits the transfer of information between your IDEXX VetLab Station Software and the computer where the InterLink application is installed (the "Target Computer"). The Interlink application may also allow you to download data from the IDEXX Reference Laboratory through IDEXX Software Offerings. The data includes, but is not limited to, client ID, client name, patient name, diagnostic results, connected instruments, and laboratory information. The InterLink application, working in conjunction with software installed on your IDEXX VetLab Station Software, will permit patient data to be transferred bi-directionally from the Target Computer to the IDEXX VetLab Station and from the IDEXX VetLab Station to the Target Computer. After the data has been stored on the Target Computer, it is the responsibility of you and (if applicable) your PIMS supplier to manage the information. Note that the Interlink application may not be capable of providing such an interface for all IDEXX products owned or used by you.

5.2 Verification: Prior to installing the Interlink application, you are responsible for ensuring that you have the rights to install it on your network. You agree to verify your settings and compatibility with your PIMS supplier. Failure to do so may result in the Interlink application interfering with the functioning of your PIMS.

5.3 Technical Environment: In order to use the Interlink application to enable connectivity between the IDEXX VetLab Station Software and your Target Computer, you must have an Ethernet connection between your Target Computer and your IDEXX VetLab Station as specified by us. You shall provide and incur the cost of the IDEXX VetLab Station and other IDEXX instruments (the “IDEXX Equipment”) and the Ethernet connection. You shall provide the appropriate network connectivity for the Interlink application to operate properly. In addition, the IDEXX VetLab Station must have the SmartService™ function activated, which requires access to a high speed Internet connection. Without SmartService, IDEXX will not be able to provide any technical support to troubleshoot the Interlink application. Note: This functionality is not available in all geographies.

5.4 Connectivity and Privacy. IDEXX may have access to your data stored on the IVLS through SmartService. Our use of that data is governed by the separate SmartService Software Offering Terms and the IDEXX Privacy Policy, available at www.idexx.com.

DVMax Software

The below Offering Specific Terms form part of the One IDEXX Master Terms and are hereby incorporated therein.

Please refer to your order form for the support level that you have elected from the options summarized under Section A below. For additional general terms and terms specific to particular support levels, see below under Sections B and C.

A. Support Levels

Single User (SU) Business Hours are
Monday- Friday from 8am – 6pm (Clinic’s local time)

Multi User (MU): After Hours are
Monday – Friday from 6pm- 8am,
weekends and U.S. holidays

DVMax chart.
Single-User: Clinics using the single-user (one terminal) version of DVMAX have the option of purchasing any level of the support. (If your practice utilizes remote processing, then the minimum requirement is Silver or higher).

Multi-User: Clinics using the multi-user version of DVMAX (two or more terminals) have the option of purchasing as follows:

Remote processing: All clinics that use the remote processing feature have the option of Silver or higher.

Emergency and 24 hr Clinics: Practices that are open 24 hours have the option of Gold or higher.

MPA and Multi-Database Clinics: Multi-practice access and multi-database clinics need to purchase MPA support level per site or database. (Your practice will receive the support service at the Silver level).

If an owner has more than one practice site, a separate instance of support must be obtained and a support fee paid for each practice site, unless IDEXX agrees otherwise in writing. IDEXX reserves the right to suspend technical support to all practice sites of this owner if this is not adhered to. IDEXX reserves the right to suspend technical support if your practice(s) have an outstanding balance for any products or services from IDEXX.

Your support service may not be transferred or assigned without the consent of IDEXX. If ownership or control of your practice changes and new staff operating DVMAX have not, in IDEXX’s judgment, been sufficiently trained, IDEXX may require training for the new staff as a condition of continuing or renewing support.


B. Additional Terms (for all support levels)

1. Service Standards

We will use reasonable commercial efforts to provide support services at the level you have selected. We do not guaranty uninterrupted or error-free operation of the DVMAX Software. We support only the two most current release versions of DVMAX Software, as denoted by the first two numbers of a release version (e.g. v7.0 and v.7.5). We may cease supporting any DVMAX, even a current release level, at the end of your support period upon 30 days’ prior notice to you. You may be required to upgrade to the current version of DVMAX Software, and any ancillary software that is required, as part of a problem solution.

Support is provided by telephone at 800-950-5455 (you will need to provide your DVMAX ID number when calling our service line). For non-urgent support questions, you can go to your user site through the web at users.dvmax.com. (You will need your DVMAX ID number and your administrative password). We do not provide on-site support.

Your practice must have in place the hardware meeting the minimum requirements designated by IDEXX to run the most up-to-date version of DVMAX. When we issue a software update, if your existing hardware does not meet minimum requirements to support that update, you will be responsible for updating your hardware if you wish to use that update. Any software updates that include new products, features, modules, or enhancements may require an additional license fee.

2. Fees; Automatic Renewal

To receive support, you must be current (paid in full) on all support fees for the level you have selected. The initial service period and level for support shall be as stated in your order form and shall automatically renew thereafter unless you give us 30 days prior written notice of your intention to discontinue or change your level of service.

By paying the support fee, you confirm your continuing agreement to the terms of these DVMAX support terms. Your support services become effective on our receipt of the support fee or your accepting support from us before our receipt of the fee.

If we allow you to pay in installments it is as an accommodation to you, and you agree to pay the entire fee. We may increase our fees or modify our support program from time to time. The fee for any extension of the support period will be as indicated in our invoice to you. We may invoice you before the current support period expires. If you wish to continue receiving support, you must pay the fee before the beginning of any extension.

If for any period of time you are not covered by our support and wish to start or resume such coverage, we may charge you the support fee for any period you were not covered. If the practice has more than one practice site, a support fee must be paid for each practice site, unless IDEXX agrees otherwise in writing. IDEXX reserves the right to suspend support services to all practice sites if this clause is not adhered to.

Either of us may terminate support on 30 days written notice to the other. If we terminate other than due to your breach, we will refund you a pro rata portion of the fee. If you terminate other than due to a breach by us, you will not be entitled to any refund. If at any time you have not paid all amounts due, other than amounts disputed in good faith, then without prejudice to any other rights we may suspend our support.

3. Back-up Data

You are responsible for backing-up or otherwise preserving all of your critical files and data. We are not responsible for preserving any data on any equipment repaired at your site or returned to us or directly to the manufacturer/service provider. We will provide installation and update software for download or, if required, on readable media so that you can reinstall your DVMAX Software in the event of a catastrophic loss of the software. We may charge a fee for providing and shipping readable media. If we perform the restoration at our facility, we will charge you for this service at our standard rates. We are not responsible for the return of any ribbons, tapes, CDs or other supplies or media contained in any equipment provided to us or to our service provider for service.

4. Third-Party Hardware

Because of the variety of non-software related equipment factors that can adversely affect software performance, we cannot guaranty the performance of DVMAX Software unless it is used only with a hardware/network system that meets our minimum specifications. If you use DVMAX Software on a hardware/network system that does not meet our minimum specifications, our software is provided to you on an “AS IS” basis, and you release us from any and all obligations of these DVMAX support terms or otherwise and agree to hold us harmless from any and all claims or actions relating to or arising out of the use or performance of our DVMAX Software.

5. Third Party Software Exclusion

With respect to Third Party software provided by us, we are acting only as a distributor of these products, which are manufactured or supplied by others. Accordingly, these products are provided on an “AS IS” basis, and you release us from any and all obligations of this agreement or otherwise and agree to hold us harmless from any and all claims or actions relating to or arising out of the use or performance of these products. Third Party product manufacturers or suppliers may provide their own warranties or support. Licenses under the LGPL, Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) and other “open source” libraries or utilities generally disclaim any and all warranties, as specified in the licenses to those programs that accompany the software products.

6. Hardware and Expendable Parts Exclusions

With respect to hardware/network system components, we are acting only as a distributor of these products, which are manufactured or supplied by others. Accordingly, these products are provided on an “AS IS” basis, and you release us from any and all obligations of this agreement or otherwise and agree to hold us harmless from any and all claims or actions relating to or arising out of the use or performance of these products. We do not guaranty or provide support on expendable or consumable parts, such as fuses, batteries, bulbs, cables, adapters, print heads, keyboards, mice, ribbons, tapes, CDs or other supplies or media.

7. Exclusions for Improper Use, Etc

We are not responsible for the performance of IDEXX products if you use products or services not provided by us. FAILURE TO USE ONLY OUR AUTHORIZED PRODUCTS OR SERVICES IN OR ON YOUR SOFTWARE OR EQUIPMENT VOIDS OUR OBLIGATIONS TO YOU. Our support does not cover problems resulting from any causes external to our products, such as negligence or improper use or handling; casualty; external electrical fault; failure to follow packing or shipping instructions; use of un-authorized products in conjunction with our products; computer viruses, spyware, malware, worms, or other harmful programs; or repairs or modifications made by anyone other than us or our authorized service providers. We will repair normal wear-and-tear damage only to the extent required for proper functioning of equipment; cosmetic damage is not covered. We further do not have any obligations with respect to modifications made by you to versions of libraries subject to the LGPL or any other Third Party program.

If we determine that a reported problem is not covered by our support, at the level you have selected or otherwise, then you must pay or reimburse us for our labor to identify the problem, and any related shipping. If you wish us to repair the problem, we will attempt to do so, at your expense, or if you have shipped us the product we will return it to you at your expense.

8. Your Obligations

You must take reasonable care of the products, maintain them in a clean and appropriate environment and carry out the routine maintenance recommended by us in the applicable user guide or otherwise communicated to you from time to time. You must install software updates that are periodically sent to you in a timely manner.

Your personnel who contact us about product support must be knowledgeable about and trained on the products. You must provide reasonable supporting data to aid in the identification, reproduction and analysis of reported problems. You must maintain any restoration CD's and make them available as needed. You must treat all periodic software patches, updates, upgrades, modifications or other enhancements delivered under these DVMAX support terms as licensed software in accordance with the terms of the applicable software license agreement between us (or, as applicable, between you and a third party software provider) under which you obtained rights to the software, and you must maintain such software license agreements in full force and effect.

9. Remote Access Support

IDEXX may install and activate third-party software on your server and workstation to permit us to remotely access your network, in order to provide the support services to you. You authorize us to access your practice’s data through this Third Party software, including any client data that is included in your data, and to combine or associate such data with any other of your data that we are permitted to use, for the purposes of (a) remote monitoring, troubleshooting, diagnosing, and servicing your practice management network environment from your practice site, (b) remotely deploying, removing and upgrading your IDEXX services and system environment, (c) providing your clinic with analysis of its software and hardware performance and utilization either on a stand-alone basis or in comparison with other de-identified clinics, (d) backing up and storing your data, (e) aggregating your data with other data (including data from other practices using our support services) for research and analysis, (f) otherwise providing support services to you, and (g) advancing and defending our legal rights. By purchasing or receiving the support services, you agree to abide by the terms and conditions of such Third Party software, as they may be updated from time to time. You acknowledge that all services and support will be provided in English language only.


C. Training and Installation

1. Training

An experienced IDEXX trainer will provide three consecutive days of training, or more if you have purchased advanced training options, at your practice beginning on a date that will be scheduled with IDEXX. For you to get the best value from the training, you will need to do the following: Before the trainer arrives at your facility, your computers and peripherals (printers, back-up drives, network hubs, etc.) must be unpacked, installed, connected, and tested so that they are working together in the configuration you intend to be permanent. (See Installation section below).

The key staff members who will use DVMAX must be present for the entire training session. All staff who will use DVMAX in any capacity must be present for those portions of the training that pertain to their duties. Getting the greatest benefit from training requires that all of your staff get training. If your staff miss parts of the training, you will obtain much less value from your new DVMAX system and the benefits of DVMAX Software in your practice will be severely diminished. Note that if training is scheduled for a weekend, a special surcharge may apply.

2. Installation

The installation of equipment and networks (including computers, monitors, backup devices, printers, network cabling, network hubs, switches and routers, modems, system software and configuration, network configuration, etc.) is your responsibility. It is also your responsibility to have the DVMAX Software installed end a test database running on all terminals before the trainer arrives. IDEXX will provide detailed specifications and directions for the installation of all the required software and hardware to you or to a systems installer-technician that you retain. We strongly recommend that all of these items be installed, tested, and running at least 3 days before the start of training. Note that IDEXX trainers do not perform hardware, network, or peripheral installations.

We may be able to refer you to a systems installer technician in your area for this purpose, but we cannot be responsible for their work. If the equipment (and networking, if applicable) is not working when the training begins, it will severely limit the effectiveness of the training. Hardware and networking difficulties are the primary sources of lost time during training. We want you to get the best training possible, so please make every effort to avoid these difficulties.

We strongly recommend that you have a working relationship with a local systems installer-technician. Technology changes, networks and hardware fail, staff may be short of skills. System problems often happen on the least convenient days and at the most annoying hours. Many of these problems cannot be resolved over the phone. A local technician is the best resource you can have for solving these problems quickly.

We also recommend that you obtain or purchase on-site hardware warranties. These will greatly speed and simplify the process of repairing or replacing any equipment if necessary.

3. Initial Support & Updates

For three (3) months from the start of training IDEXX will provide free software technical support to your practice. "Free support" means that you may telephone, email, fax or write for assistance with DVMAX issues and we will respond.

Support is normally provided from 8am to 6pm local time for your practice. Emergency issues will be handled outside of these hours during this initial free support period after training. In addition to providing free support for 3 months after training, IDEXX will make any released updates to the DVMAX Software available to you at no extra cost during this period. Additional support options are available once the 3-month free support period expires. The best option for your practice will depend on many factors, including the size of your practice, the hours of operation, the technical expertise of your staff, etc. We have options to suit the needs of every practice.

Not Included

Here is what IDEXX does not include with the license of DVMAX and support during the 3-month period after installation & training:

If we believe a problem is due to malfunctioning equipment, networking, system software, improper settings, or other causes outside of DVMAX, we will try to pinpoint the source, or list the likely sources, of the problem, and our staff will direct you to the best resource for resolving it quickly. (Note: Your local system installer-technician is your best resource for resolving hardware and network problems. In the interest of smooth operations and benefit from investment we again strongly recommend that you open a working relationship with a local system installer-technician.)

We will be happy to work extensively on the phone or through other forms of communication with any on-site installer-technician to resolve problems you may encounter. However, many problems encountered in the use of the system are not caused by DVMAX or related software, and these problems will require the intervention of an on-site computer installer-technician.

4. Hardware and other Software

IDEXX will provide you with a list of recommended hardware and operating system specifications to aid you in obtaining the best equipment for your practice. You should use this list to work with your local system installer-technician to order the proper equipment.

As a convenience to our customers, IDEXX occasionally supplies hardware that cannot be easily obtained. At other times, IDEXX may recommend hardware for a specific situation or site. If you purchase hardware from IDEXX, or purchase hardware recommended by IDEXX, it is warranted by the manufacturer only. IDEXX MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OROF FITNESS, ABOUT ANY THIRD PARTY HARDWARE. If hardware is defective or performs unsatisfactorily, you agree that your remedies are limited to those provided by the manufacturer. IDEXX warrants the compatibility of DVMAX with the Macintosh and Windows operating systems listed in the DVMAX hardware requirements guide; please refer to this document for a complete list of compatible systems.

5. Systems Installation and Maintenance

You are responsible for the purchase, installation, testing and maintenance of all hardware, including your computers, printers, network cabling and equipment such as hubs and routers, backup devices, hard drives, scanners, modems, and monitors. IDEXX strongly recommends that you work with a local system installer-technician for these issues. Again, we also recommend that you obtain or purchase on-site hardware warranties.

A regular, frequent, and redundant backup procedure is the most important way you can prevent massive data loss in the event of a system failure or disaster. It is important to perform backups daily, to keep multiple backups, to keep backups off the premises, and to be sure that your backups are being performed properly. IDEXX will be happy to assist you with recommendations on backup procedures. IDEXX assumes no liability or responsibility for data entered, maintained or lost at your practice. Be safe - back up!

6. PCS DSS Service Provider Acknowledgement

We provide services to you which may involve the processing, storage, and/or transmission of merchant credit cardholder data, as defined by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards version 3.2 ("PCI DSS") and are therefore considered a "service provider" under the definitions provided in the PCI DSS. In connection with your use of the offerings, you are required to adhere to the PCI DSS promulgated by the PCI Security Standards Council.

Requirement 12.8.2 of the PCI DSS requires that you maintain a written agreement that includes an acknowledgement that the service provider is responsible for the security of cardholder data that we (service provider) control or possess on your behalf, or to the extent that it could impact the security of your cardholder data environment. Requirement 12.8.4 of the PCI DSS requires you to maintain a program to monitor the service provider's PCI DSS compliance status. Requirement 12.8.5 of the PCI DSS requires you to maintain information about which PCI DSS requirements are managed by us (service provider) and you.

In fulfillment of the requirements listed above:
