THIS SECTION SHALL  SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. 

  7. Confidentiality. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes any and all oral, written, graphic, electronic or machine readable information of a Party, whether provided to the other Party before or after the date hereof, including, but not limited to, a Party’s business methods, business policies, products, pricing procedures, techniques, trade secrets, fees or financial information or other knowledge or processes developed by a Party or any other information relating to or dealing with the business operations or activities of a Party.  Confidential Information also includes any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents or data prepared by a Party or any of its affiliates, members, partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents or advisors that contain, reflect or are based on, in whole or in part, any such Confidential Information. 

    For a period of three years from the date of Customer’s most recent purchase under this Agreement, a Party receiving Confidential Information (the “Receiving Party”) from the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) agrees to receive and hold all such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in strict confidence and to disclose it only to those affiliates, members, partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents or advisors of the Receiving Party who have agreed to comply with the terms of this Agreement and who need to know such Confidential Information in connection with this Agreement.  The Receiving Party further agrees that it will not use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for its own benefit or for the benefit of any third party, in each case, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement.  Without affecting the generality of the foregoing, the Receiving Party agrees that it will exercise no less care to safeguard the Confidential Information acquired from the Disclosing Party than the Receiving Party exercises in safeguarding its own confidential and proprietary information, but in no event, with any less than reasonable care. 

    Confidential Information does not include information that the Receiving Party can prove: (i) was known by the Receiving Party, without restriction, at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party, as demonstrated by files in existence at the time of the disclosure; (ii) is or becomes a matter of public knowledge without breach of the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement; (iii) was acquired by the Receiving Party from a third party (other than the Disclosing Party or its representatives) that was lawfully in possession of such information and not in violation of any confidentiality or other contractual or legal obligation to the Disclosing Party with respect to such information; or (iv) is independently developed by the Receiving Party’s members, partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents or advisors without reference to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. 

    Notwithstanding the above, the Receiving Party shall not have liability to the Disclosing Party with regard to any disclosure of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that the Receiving Party can prove is disclosed by the Receiving Party or its affiliates, members, directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents or advisors pursuant to the order of a court or other government body or as required by law or regulation; provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall (i) to the extent legally permitted, provide written notice to the Disclosing Party reasonably in advance of any such disclosure to allow sufficient opportunity for the Disclosing Party to object to and/or prevent such disclosure, and (ii) cooperate fully with the Disclosing Party in taking legally available steps to prevent or narrow such disclosure, including, without limitation, by seeking a protective order or confidential treatment. 

  8. Recordkeeping. For a period of two years from the date of Customer’s most recent purchase under this Agreement, Customer shall keep and maintain records with respect to the purchase and administration of Products ordered pursuant to this Agreement. Customer shall, upon receipt of a written request from QuVa, furnish such records and information in a mutually acceptable format within thirty (30) days of receipt of such request. QuVa agrees that all records shall be subject to the requirements of state and federal law regarding the confidentiality of medical and prescription records. 

  9. Force Majeure. Other than the obligation to pay money, the obligations to perform under this Agreement shall be excused when caused by acts of God, shortages of power, global pandemics, market condition changes affecting supplies, or government orders or other causes which are beyond the reasonable control of a Party obligated to perform (“Force Majeure Event”). In the event that a Party ceases to perform its obligations under this Agreement due to the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, such Party shall: (1)  immediately notify the other Party in writing of such Force Majeure Event and its expected duration; and (2) take reasonable steps to recommence performance of its obligations under this Agreement as soon as possible. 

  10. Returns and Recall Management. QuVa does not accept returned Products in the normal course of its business and will only accept Product returns and provide credit in limited circumstances. All Product returns are subject to QuVa’s return of goods policy as in effect at the time of any purchase of Products under this Agreement. For recall management procedures, Customer shall ensure that Customer will be able to track Products received from QuVa and administered to patients per its recall policy. Customer shall promptly notify QuVa if any adverse reactions or complaints regarding the Products are received. If QuVa should recall a Product, Customer will be notified in writing and will handle said recall per Customer’s policy and procedures. The Parties shall cooperate in investigating and resolving such complaints or recalls.  

  11. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Texas. Any action under this Agreement shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction for Fort Bend County, Texas. 

  12. Assignment. A Party may not assign its rights or delegate its duties without the prior written consent of the other, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, QuVa may assign this Agreement without the need for consent to any affiliate or successor entity, whether through conversion, merger or otherwise.  

  13. Non-Waiver. No waiver or failure of a Party to exercise its rights under this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any of such Party’s rights. All rights and remedies granted herein are cumulative and any Party’s resort to one shall not preclude its resort to any other right or remedy provided by law. 

  14. Modification or Amendment. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written agreement signed by each Party and in the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision shall be severable from this Agreement and shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision contained in this Agreement.
