2. OWNERSHIP AND ACCESS.
A. As between TCGC and Licensee, TCGC, or its licensor(s) are and shall continue to be the sole owner of the program (including, without limitation, all text, designs, images, illustrations, graphics, layout, data or other creative output, and the file structure, coordination, selection and/or arrangement of such content or data) and any modifications or other derivative works based thereon (except for those portions of the program licensed to, and not owned by TCGC, but which TCGC has full right to make available to Licensee under the terms of this Agreement).

Licensee shall notify TCGC of any actual or threatened breach of these confidentiality provisions or any infringement of the program, and Licensee shall cooperate with TCGC in enforcing such provisions.

3. DURATION AND TERMINATION. These Terms of Use shall remain effective until terminated. Upon termination or expiration of these Terms of Use or the Agreement for any reason: (a) Licensee’s right to access and use the program shall immediately cease and TCGC will have the right to deny access to the program by Licensee; and (b) Licensee shall immediately cease access to and use of the program. Upon termination of these Terms of Use or the Agreement, TCGC shall either return to Licensee or make available to Licensee for download all of the Customer Data.
4. PRODUCT SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE. Except as may be agreed in writing by the parties, Licensee is responsible for providing appropriate hardware, properly configured web browser, and operating system environment to access or use the program as specified by TCGC. During the specified product support period, TCGC shall provide at Customer’s request the product support services listed below for the program. Product support will be provided only for access or use of the program on a properly configured web browser, the particular hardware configuration and functionality and software operating systems (including version levels) specified in the documentation for the program. Licensee acknowledges and confirms that it is familiar with, and will request support only for, the permitted hardware, web browser, and operating system environment specified in the program documentation.
A. Acknowledgment of Third Party Reliance; Third- Party Limitation. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Licensee acknowledges that (a) TCGC is in no manner responsible for any action or inaction of any third party, including, but not limited to, Licensee, hardware or software vendors, or Internet Service Providers; (b) TCGC has not represented that use of the program will be uninterrupted, error-free, or without delay or that all errors or bugs will be fixed; and (c) TCGC does not and cannot control the flow of data through the Internet, and such flow depends in large part on the performance of third parties whose actions or inaction can, at times, produce situations in which connections to the Internet (or portions thereof) may be impaired or disrupted. TCGC DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY RELATED TO EVENTS OUTSIDE OF THE CONTROL OF TCGC OR ITS LICENSORS AND/OR IN THE CONTROL OF THIRD PARTIES AND LICENSEE SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT TO RELY UPON ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY THIRD PARTY IN RESPECT TO THE PROGRAM. Further, Licensee acknowledges that, in providing the program, TCGC will necessarily rely upon information, instructions, and services from Customer and Licensee and their respective employees, and agents, and other third parties providing computer and communications hardware, software, and Internet services. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Licensee fully assumes the risk associated with errors in such information, instructions, and services and with access or use of the program by Licensee and/or its authorized users. Licensee assumes the full risk, responsibility and liability for payment, processing, handling and/or resolution of any and all claims tracked in the program, including but not limited to, any and all responsibilities under Federal, State or local law (e.g., Medicare Section 111, etc.) associated with, relating to or arising from such claims.
B. Program Maintenance. TCGC does not warrant that Licensee’s access or use of the program will be uninterrupted or that the operation of the program will be error-free, or that all errors can or will be corrected. TCGC is not responsible for any delays, delivery failures, or any other loss or damage resulting from the transfer of data over communications networks and facilities, including the internet, and the Licensee acknowledges that use of the program may be subject to limitations, delays and other problems inherent in the use of such communications facilities. However, provided that Customer has paid the then current Monthly License/Use Fee, TCGC will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct any error that prevents the program from substantially performing the functions described in the program documentation during the term of the License Agreement or any renewals thereof. TCGC’s obligations hereunder shall be subject to (1) receipt by TCGC of written notice and sufficient supporting documentation of such error, and (2) verification by TCGC that the program has been properly used, and that the error is not due to (a) modification, supplement, or interface made or used by or on behalf of Licensee, or (b) Licensee’s failure to follow operational advice delivered to Licensee by TCGC. If TCGC determines that the error was due to any of the foregoing causes, TCGC may charge Customer for the support services at TCGC’s then-current rates.
C. Support. Upon request from Customer or Licensee and in accord with the License Agreement, TCGC will make available to Licensee reasonable telephone and email support to assist in the access and use of the program. Such support shall be generally available during the hours of 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday Central Standard Time, excluding holidays. Additional support may be made available with advance warning from Licensee. In the event TCGC deems the support used or desired by Customer or Licensee to be unreasonable, then TCGC shall notify Customer or Licensee of the terms and conditions under which additional support may be provided.
