1. Richardson Personnel. Richardson shall provide the training resources it deems necessary and appropriate to perform the Services. Client hereby acknowledges that Richardson subcontracts certain development engagements and the delivery of its training to independent third-party consultants who are pre-screened, trained and certified by Richardson to develop content or facilitate Richardson-led instructor training pursuant to the terms of an independent contractor agreement with Richardson.

2. Fees and Payment. Client shall pay Richardson in accordance with the fee(s) as outlined in the applicable Purchasing Document (“Fees”). Client agrees to pay all invoices for Fees and reimbursable expenses within thirty (30) days of Client’s receipt of such invoice in full without offset. Client will reimburse Richardson for all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket expenses that Richardson incurs in connection with its performance of Services hereunder, including but not limited to, printing of any program materials, hotel, meals, airfare, ground transportation, and express mail/delivery charges. In making travel arrangements, Richardson agrees to comply with any reasonable travel policies provided in advance to Richardson by Client.

Richardson will include on each invoice all applicable federal, state and local sales and use taxes, ad valorem taxes, value added taxes, tariffs and duties that Richardson is legally required to collect from Client as a result of performing the Services under the Purchasing Document (“Taxes”). Client shall be solely responsible for all Taxes excluding, however, income taxes on profits which may be levied against Richardson. Client shall reimburse Richardson for the amount of such Taxes paid or accrued by Richardson and all Fees shall be exclusive of such Taxes.

The confidentiality obligations described herein do not apply to information that is in the public domain; was known to the party prior to its access to the information; was received lawfully from a third party through no breach of any obligation of confidentiality owed to the other party; or that which is created by a party independently of the other party’s Confidential Information.

Each party agrees that it shall not disclose or use the Confidential Information of the other party for any purpose outside the scope of the Purchasing Document. The parties agree to protect the confidentiality of the other party’s Confidential Information in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information of like kind, but in no event shall either party exercise less than reasonable care. If the receiving party is compelled by law or regulation to disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party, it shall provide the disclosing party with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and provide reasonable assistance if the disclosing party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the receiving party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the disclosing party in breach of this Section 4, the disclosing party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the parties that any other available remedies are inadequate.
