These AAU - Software Terms of Service ("Terms") are entered into between the entity listed on the Order Form ("Client") and Invitae Corporation ("Company" or "Invitae"), as of the date of Order Form (as defined below) execution (or, if earlier, the date Client first uses the Application as defined below). These Terms govern any access to and use of Company's online software-as-a service solutions made available by Company through a website or online portal owned or controlled by Company ("Site"). These Terms set out Client's payment obligations (if any) for use of the Application(s), limit Company's liability and obligations to Client, set out rules for Client's use of the Application(s), grant Company certain rights in Client Data (as defined below) and allow Company to change, suspend or terminate Client's access to and use of the Application(s) under certain circumstances. These Terms are subject to modification from time to time as described below.
If Client has submitted or entered into one or more of Company's service agreement forms, registration forms or other ordering documents with the Company, whether online, in written form or otherwise (each an "Order Form"), specifying various details about Client's subscription or access to one or more Applications, such as pricing, usage parameters and/or other applicable terms, such Order Form shall be incorporated into these Terms by reference and shall apply to Client's use of the Application(s) hereunder. Any applicable terms stated or linked to where Client signs up or registers for an Application on the applicable Site shall be deemed part of these Terms. The terms and conditions of these Terms shall take precedence over the terms and conditions of any any Order Form, including terms added by Client, and to the extent of any conflict, these Terms, rather than the Order Form, shall govern and apply, except to the extent any Order Form expressly states that the Order Form terms shall take precedence over these Terms (in which case such Order Form terms shall apply solely for purposes of that Order Form).
THE PERSON ACCEPTING THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF A BUSINESS OR A LEGAL ENTITY (AS CLIENT HEREUNDER), WHETHER PURSUANT TO EXECUTION OF ANY ORDER FORM OR USE OF ANY APPLICATION, HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT SUCH PERSON HAS THE AUTHORITY TO BIND THAT BUSINESS OR LEGAL ENTITY TO THESE TERMS AND THAT SUCH PERSON'S AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS WILL BE TREATED AS THE AGREEMENT OF THE BUSINESS OR LEGAL ENTITY. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, "CLIENT" REFERS HEREIN TO THAT BUSINESS OR LEGAL ENTITY.
Services
1.1 Services Overview. Invitae offers a suite of cloud-based software services related to medical genetics and related professional services. "Services" means the specific SaaS Services (as defined below) and any Professional Services set forth in one or more Order Forms.
1.2 SaaS Services. Invitae shall provide non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use in the Territory in accordance with the documentation, and if the Integrated Option applies install and use solely in connection with the Client System, the Invitae application(s) identified on a Order Form (each, an "Application") via either a Web-Based Access Option or via an Integrated Option as indicated in the applicable Order Form (collectively, Applications made available via the Web-Based Option and Integrated Options may be referred to as the "SaaS Services"). "Web-Based Access Option" means, in accordance with these Terms, that Client shall obtain web-based access to the Application via the internet location provided by Invitae. "Integrated Option" means that Client shall obtain access to the Application, in accordance with the terms of these Terms, via integration into the Client System identified in an applicable Order, such integration pursuant to an Order Form. "Client System" means Client's internal data management system that is connected to the Application if Client selects the Integrated Option.
During any Term, as identified in an Order Form with respect to the Applications, the SaaS Services will be subject to any service levels identified in the applicable Order Form, and Invitae will provide support in accordance with the support policy described in the applicable Order Form.
1.3 Professional Services. Invitae shall perform the implementation and other services identified on an Order Form (the "Professional Services") and provide the items specifically identified as "Deliverables" to Client ("Deliverables").

Furthermore, Client's usage of the Application and SaaS Services is limited to the maximum number of patients which may be specified on the applicable Order Form. Client is responsible for compliance by its affiliates and each Authorized User with the Terms. Client acknowledges and understands that all Authorized Users will have access to all information and data in Client's account and Client is solely responsible for their access and use of information. Client is responsible to notify Invitae when Authorized Users are no longer authorized to have access to Client's Account and request that Invitae revoke each such Authorized User's account privileges. Client shall notify Invitae immediately of any unauthorized use of any password or account or any other known or suspected breach of security or misuse of the Services. Client is responsible for the use of the Application and the SaaS Services by any and all employees, contractors, or other users that Client allows to access the Application or the SaaS Services. Client shall implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that Authorized Users do not share passwords or access information with each other or anyone else.
1.5 Territory. The "Territory" shall mean United States of America, unless the territory in the applicable Order Form specifies otherwise. The Services are only available in the Territory and Client therefore acknowledges and agrees that Client will access the Application and use the SaaS Services only in the Territory and only in connection with Services Client performs in the Territory.
1.6 Use Restrictions.

1.7 Additional Terms and Conditions Specific to Applications. Additional terms and conditions specific to an Application or SaaS Service may be included in the applicable Order Form.
Payment
2.1 Charges. Client shall pay the fees, charges, and expenses specified in the Order Form in accordance with its terms and these Terms. All payments by Client to Invitae pursuant to these Terms are due and payable within 30 calendar days of the date of invoice, unless otherwise agreed in the applicable Order Form. All unpaid past-due invoices are subject to a late fee on the outstanding balance for each month that they remain unpaid equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month and the highest rate allowable by applicable law. Starting in the first year following the effective date of the applicable Order Form, Invitae may increase its charges for the SaaS Services specified in the applicable Order Form annually upon 60 days' prior written notice. If any amount owing by Client under these Terms or any other agreement for Invitae's services is 10 days or more overdue, Invitae may, without limiting Invitae's other rights and remedies, accelerate Client's unpaid fee obligations under these Terms and the other agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Invitae's Application, Services and Deliverables to Client until such amounts are paid in full. All payments are non-refundable and all fees are non-cancellable.
2.2 Taxes. Client will pay sales, use or similar state or local taxes in connection with the Services or payments to be made under these Terms, excluding taxes based on Invitae's net income.

Any such audit will be conducted upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours, and shall be at Invitae's expense, unless such audit reveals a discrepancy of more than five percent (5%) in the total applicable amount due to Invitae, in which event Client shall pay for, or reimburse Invitae the cost of, such audit.
Data
3.1 Ownership; Rights.
(A) As between the parties, Client shall own all data and information that Client provides and stores using the Application or SaaS Services or has provided and stored on its behalf ("Client Data").
(B) Invitae may access Client's account and Client Data from time to time as Invitae deems necessary or appropriate for purposes of performing the Services, including, without limitation, providing support, performing account administration and generating invoices with respect to Client's use of the Application and receipt of the Services. Except as permitted in these Terms or BAA (if applicable with respect to specific Applications and SaaS Services), Invitae shall not during the Term edit, delete or disclose the contents of Client Data unless authorized by Client or Invitae is required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) conform with Laws or comply with legal process served on Invitae; (2) protect and defend the rights or property of Invitae and its licensors; or (3) enforce these Terms or establish any rights hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any BAA to the contrary, Invitae may de-identify Client Data, including protected health information ("PHI"), and use de-identified data to analyze, develop, modify and improve Invitae's product and service offerings, including, without limitation, databases with aggregated or de-identified data, algorithms, machine learning models and analysis services; to the extent necessary, Client shall permit Invitae to have reasonable access to the Client System to obtain and de-identify Client Data for such purposes. Invitae may use Client Data to generate, utilize and publish aggregated or de-identified data, statistics, analytical results and trend information related to the usage of the Application or SaaS Services (such as usage patterns), but only if such information is not attributed to Client and personally identifying information of Client's users is not provided.
3.2 Client is responsible for its Client Data, including its content and accuracy, and agrees to comply with Laws and the Section 1.6 (Use Restrictions) in using the Service. Client represents and warrants that it has made all disclosures and has all rights, consents and permissions necessary to use its Client Data with the Services and grant Invitae the rights in Section 3.1, all without violating or infringing Laws, third-party rights (including intellectual property, publicity or privacy rights) or any terms or privacy policies that apply to the Client Data.
3.3 Security. While Invitae will use reasonable safeguards to protect Client Data, Client is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability and appropriateness of all Client Data. Notwithstanding any applicable Business Associate Agreement, Invitae will have no liability to Client or any third party for the deletion, correction, destruction, loss, infringement or failure of the Application or SaaS Services to process or store any Client Data. Invitae reserves the right to establish a maximum amount of storage and a maximum amount of Client Data that Client may store, process, post or transmit on or through any Application or SaaS Services.
3.4 Business Associate Agreement. If the Territory includes the United States, and if Invitae expressly agrees on an Order Form to receive PHI, the Business Associate Agreement ("BAA") on Exhibit B, which is hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference and will govern the use, disclosure and security of PHI only with respect to Business Associate Services. The BAA will not govern the use, disclosure and security of PHI with respect to Covered Entity Services. As used in this Section 3.4, "Business Associate Services" means Services provided by Invitae where Invitae acts as a "business associate" as defined by 45 C.F.R. 160.103. As used in this Section 3.4, "Covered Entity Services" means Services provided by Invitae where Invitae acts as a "covered entity" as defined by 45 C.F.R. 160.103.
Warranties; Compliance with Law
4.1 Service and Performance Warranty. Invitae represents and warrants that the applicable Application or SaaS Services will conform to the applicable published end user documentation in all material respects during the Term (the "Warranty Period"). In the event the Services or Deliverables do not conform to this warranty in any material respect, as Client's exclusive remedy, Invitae will, at no cost or expense to Client, promptly correct, re-perform and, as applicable, re-deliver the Services and Deliverables. For each day during the Warranty Period that the Deliverables do not conform to the warranty, the Warranty Period shall be extended by one day.
4.2 Mutual Warranties. Each party represents and warrants to the other that: (i) it is organized and validly existing under the Laws of the state of its formation and has full authority to enter into these Terms and to carry out its obligations hereunder; (ii) these Terms are a legal and valid obligation binding upon such party and enforceable against such party, except to the extent such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar Laws of general applicability governing the enforcement of the rights of creditors or by the general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity); and (iii) neither the execution of an Order Form referring to these Terms, nor the delivery and performance of Services under these Terms conflicts with any agreement, instrument or contract, oral or written, to which such party is bound.
4.3 Disclaimers.
(A) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AND EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, INVITAE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APPLICATIONS OR SERVICES WILL MEET CLIENT'S NEEDS OR REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE APPLICATIONS OR THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR THAT THE APPLICATIONS OR SERVICES WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE APPLICATION OR SERVICES WILL RESULT IN ANY PARTICULAR HEALTH OUTCOMES. FURTHER, INVITAE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ALL ERRORS IN THE APPLICATIONS OR SERVICES ARE CORRECTABLE OR WILL BE CORRECTED. Client acknowledges that, notwithstanding the taking by Invitae of security precautions, use of, or connection to, the Internet provides the opportunity for unauthorized third parties to circumvent such precautions and illegally gain access to the Services and Client Data. Accordingly, Invitae cannot and does not guarantee the privacy, security, integrity or authenticity of any information so transmitted over or stored in any system connected to the Internet or that any security precautions taken will be adequate or sufficient.
(B) Client Review. Without limiting the generality of the disclaimers in Section 4.3(A), Client acknowledges and agrees that:
1. Not Prescriptive. The Applications and Services may include clinical decision support tools designed for use by healthcare professionals only to assist Client and its Authorized Users in the delivery of medical care. They should not be viewed as prescriptive or authoritative. Any medication decisions should be made by a qualified healthcare professional. Client alone is responsible for all decisions, acts, and omissions of any persons in connection with the delivery of medical care or other services to any patients. There are numerous considerations unique to each patient which the physician or other licensed prescribing professional must take into account before deciding what treatment to offer, modify, or discontinue. Only the physician is in a position to make a complete assessment of the patient and to judge the relevance of the information provided in the report to the actual clinical situation. Any adverse outcome connected with following or not following the recommendations found in reports generated using this program is the responsibility of Client and its Authorized Users.
2. Client Review. Before any Application or Service is placed into a live production environment, it is Client's responsibility to review and test the Application and Service as implemented, make independent decisions about system settings and configuration based upon Client's needs, practices, standards and environment, and reach its own independent determination that the Application or SaaS Services is appropriate for such live production use. Any use by Client or its Authorized Users will constitute Client's representation that it has complied with the foregoing.
3. Updates. Invitae uses commercially reasonable efforts to keep the information in the Application and SaaS Services accurate and up-to-date. However, there is no guarantee that information will be updated on a regular basis or will continue to be updated for an unlimited period of time. There is also no guarantee that all adverse or important outcomes will be reported in the literature and incorporated in the Application or SaaS Service. CLIENT AND ITS AUTHORIZED USERS MUST EXERCISE THEIR INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT AT ALL TIMES. To the extent applicable, Client and its Authorized Users should always review and consider the latest manufacturer's package information for all medications their patients are using.
4. No FDA Approval. The Applications and SaaS Services have not been reviewed or approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration and cannot be used to diagnose or treat any disease or other health condition.
(C) Disclaimers Specific to Applications. In addition to, and without limiting the other disclaimers in these Terms, additional disclaimers apply to the specific Application or SaaS Services identified in the applicable Order Form.
4.4 Compliance with Law. Client and its affiliates shall use the Services in compliance with the requirements of all Laws.
Intellectual Property and Confidentiality
5.1 Intellectual Property. As between the parties and except for the limited express rights granted to Client under Section 1.2 of these Terms, Invitae owns all right, title and interest, including all related intellectual property rights, in and to the Application, SaaS Services and all Deliverables, along with any improvements or modifications thereto. Client acknowledges that the limited rights granted under these Terms do not provide Client with title to or ownership of the Application or the Services, the Deliverables, any customizations thereto, or any intellectual property therein. For clarity, no right or license to the intellectual property of either party is granted pursuant to these Terms except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms or any applicable Order Form. In the event that Client provides comments or feedback relating to Invitae, the Application or SaaS Services, Deliverables, or any of its products or services ("Feedback"), any such Feedback shall be owned exclusively by Invitae.
5.2 Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means any software, data, business, financial, operational, client, vendor or other information disclosed by one party to the other and not generally known by or disclosed to the public. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Confidential Information does not include information that is: (a) already known to or otherwise in the possession of a party at the time of receipt from the other party, provided such knowledge or possession was not the result of a violation of any obligation of confidentiality; (b) publicly available or otherwise in the public domain prior to disclosure by a party; (c) rightfully obtained by a party from any third party having a right to disclose such information without breach of any confidentiality obligation by such third party; or (d) developed by a party independent of any disclosure hereunder, as evidenced by a party's records.
5.3 Confidentiality Obligations. Each party shall maintain all of the other party's Confidential Information in confidence and will protect such information with the same degree of care that such party exercises with its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. If a party suffers any unauthorized disclosure, loss of, or inability to account for the Confidential Information of the other party, then the party to whom such Confidential Information was disclosed shall promptly notify and cooperate with the disclosing party and take such actions as may be necessary or reasonably requested by the disclosing party to minimize the damage that may result therefrom. Except as provided in these Terms, a party shall not use or disclose (or allow the use or disclosure of) any Confidential Information of the other party without the express prior written consent of such party. If a party is legally required to disclose the Confidential Information of the other party, the party required to disclose will, as soon as reasonably practicable, provide the other party with written notice of the applicable order or subpoena creating the obligation to disclose so that such other party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In any event, the party subject to such disclosure obligation will only disclose that Confidential Information which the party is advised by counsel as legally required to be disclosed. In addition, such party will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information. Access to and use of any Confidential Information shall be restricted to those employees and persons within a party's organization who have a need to use the information to exercise rights under or perform these Terms or, in the case of Client, to make use of the Services and Deliverables, and are subject to a contractual, professional or other obligation to keep such information confidential. A party's consultants and subcontractors may be included within the meaning of "persons within a party's organization," provided that such consultants and subcontractors have executed confidentiality agreement with provisions similar to those contained in this section. A party may disclose information concerning these Terms and the transactions contemplated hereby, including providing a copy of these Terms, to any or all of the following: (a) potential acquirers, merger partners, investors, lenders, financing sources, and their personnel, attorneys, auditors and investment bankers, solely in connection with the due diligence review of such party by persons and provided that such disclosures are made in confidence, (b) the party's outside accounting firm, or (c) the party's outside legal counsel. A party may also disclose these Terms in connection with any litigation or legal action concerning these Terms.
5.4 Return of Confidential Information. All of a party's Confidential Information disclosed to the other party, and all copies thereof, are and shall remain the property of the disclosing party. All such Confidential Information and any and all copies and reproductions thereof shall, upon request of the disclosing party or the expiration or termination of these Terms, be promptly returned to the disclosing party or destroyed (and removed from the party's computer systems and electronic media) at the disclosing party's direction, except as prohibited by applicable law, and except that to the extent any Confidential Information is contained in a party's backup media, databases and e-mail systems, then such party shall continue to maintain the confidentiality of such information and shall destroy it as soon as practicable and, in any event, no later than required by such party's record retention policy. In the event of any destruction hereunder, the party who destroyed such Confidential Information shall, if requested, provide to the other party written certification of compliance therewith within fifteen days after destruction.
5.5 Equitable Relief. The receiving party acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information could cause substantial harm to the disclosing party for which damages alone might not be a sufficient remedy and, therefore, that upon any such disclosure by the receiving party the disclosing party will be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law or equity.
Term and Termination
6.1 Term. These Terms are valid for the Order Form these Terms accompany. Services will be provided for the term specified in the applicable Order Form (the "Initial Term"). Following the end of the Initial Term, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Order Form, the Order Form and these Terms will renew for successive one year periods (each such successive term, the "Successive Terms", and together with the Initial Term, are referred to herein as the "Term") unless a party notifies the other in writing of its intent not to renew the Order Form and these Terms at least 90 days prior to the end of the then-current Term.
6.2 Termination. In the event a party materially breaches these Terms or terms of an Order Form, the breaching party is in default and the non-breaching party may terminate without penalty or fee upon 30 days' advance written notice to the breaching party, if the breach is not cured within such the 30 day period (a) in the case of a breach of terms of an Order Form, the applicable Order From under which the breach occurred; or (b) in the case of breach of these Terms, these Terms and any Order Forms that been placed under these Terms. Any failure to pay charges hereunder is a material breach of these Terms.
6.3 Effect of Termination. The termination or expiration of the applicable Order Form or these Terms for any reason shall not affect Client's or Invitae's rights or obligations that expressly or by their nature continue and survive (including without limitation, the payment terms and the provisions concerning ownership, confidentiality, limitation on liability, indemnity and the warranty disclaimers), and Client shall promptly pay all amounts owed to Invitae for Services and Deliverables. Termination of these Terms will also result in the termination of all Order Forms covered by these Terms. Client acknowledges that, due to the limited nature of these Terms and any applicable Order Forms, no Application or SaaS Services should be used in order to maintain any records, and that the Client Data may be destroyed at any time after 60 days following termination of these Terms and/or an Order Form.
6.4 Termination and Non-Renewal Rights are Absolute. The rights of termination set forth in these Terms are absolute, and the parties have considered the possibility of such termination and the possibility of loss and damage resulting therefrom, in making expenditures pursuant to the performance of these Terms and/or pursuant to any applicable Order Forms. Neither party shall be liable to the other for damages or otherwise by reason of the termination or expiration of these Terms and/or any applicable Order From as provided for herein.
6.5 Remedies. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms to the contrary, where a breach of certain provisions of these Terms may cause either party irreparable injury or may be inadequately compensable in monetary damages, either party may seek equitable relief in addition to any other remedies which may be available. The rights and remedies of the parties under these Terms are not exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
Indemnity and Limitation of Liability

Invitae will have no liability under these Terms or otherwise to the extent a Claim is based upon (a) use of any Application, SaaS Services or Deliverables in combination with software, hardware or technology not provided by Invitae, if infringement would have been avoided in the absence of the combination, (b) modifications to any Application, SaaS Services or Deliverables not made by Invitae, if infringement would have been avoided by the absence of the modifications, (c) use of any version other than a current release of any Application or SaaS Services, if infringement would have been avoided by use of a current release, or (d) any action or omission of Client for which Client is obligated to indemnify Invitae under these Terms.
7.3 Exclusive Remedy. This Section 7 states the indemnifying party's sole liability to, and the indemnified party's exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of claim described in this Section.
7.4 Limitation on Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF INVITAE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY CLIENT HEREUNDER IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE INCIDENT, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THESE TERMS OR ANY LIMITED REMEDY HEREUNDER.
7.5 Exclusion of Consequential and Related Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL INVITAE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO CLIENT FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, COVER OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND WHETHER OR NOT INVITAE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THESE TERMS OR ANY LIMITED REMEDY HEREUNDER.

8.2 Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice, request, or other communication to be given in writing under these Terms will be deemed to have been given by either party to the other party upon the date of receipt, if hand delivered, or two business days after deposit in the U.S. mail if mailed to the other party by registered or certified mail, properly addressed, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or one business day after deposit with a national overnight courier for next business day delivery, or upon the date of electronic confirmation of receipt of a facsimile transmission if followed by the original copy mailed to the applicable party at its address set forth in the applicable Order Form or other address provided in accordance herewith. A party may change its address for notices by providing written notice to the other party. All notices to Invitae must be sent to the attention of the Legal Department.
8.3 Assignment. Neither party shall assign its rights under an Order Form without the other party's prior written consent, except that Invitae may, without Client's consent, assign an Order Form to an affiliate or pursuant to a corporate reorganization, merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to which the applicable Order Form relates. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of the foregoing is void. These Terms and each Order Form are binding upon the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
8.4 Updates. Invitae may, in its discretion from time to time, make updates to these Terms, and such updates shall automatically apply without requiring signature of an additional Order Form. When updates are made, Invitae will make a new copy of these Terms available on its website. All changes are effective immediately upon posting and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. The date these Terms were last revised is identified at the top of the page. Client's continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms means that Client accepts and agrees to the changes. Client agrees to check this page from time to time so that Client is aware of any changes, as such changes are binding on Client.
8.5 Independent Contractor. Invitae is acting as an independent contractor in performing the Services hereunder. Nothing contained herein or done in pursuance of an Order Form shall constitute a joint venture, partnership or agency for the other for any purpose or in any sense whatsoever and neither party shall have the right to make any warranty or representation to such effect.
8.6 Headings and Captions. Section headings are used for convenience only and shall in no way affect the construction or interpretation of these Terms.
8.7 Counterparts. Order Forms may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile or PDF signature, all of which taken together constitute a single agreement between the parties. Each signed counterpart, including a signed counterpart reproduced by reliable means (such as facsimile and PDF), will be considered as legally effective as an original signature.
8.8 Waiver and Severability. An individual waiver of a breach of any provision of these Terms or any Order Form requires the consent of the party whose rights are being waived and such waiver will not constitute a subsequent waiver of any other breach. Any provision of these Terms or any Order Form held to be unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability of any other provisions of these Terms or any Order Form, and the unenforceable provision shall be construed to reflect the economic effect of the unenforceable provision.
