In the event of any such Claim, MDISS shall promptly provide notice of such Claim to Member. Member shall then have the sole right to control the conduct of the claim or suit and MDISS shall reasonably cooperate in the conduct of such Claim at the expense of Member.

SECTION 17 – MDISS MEMBERSHIP
WHEREAS, MDISS’ mission is to protect public health and well-being by advancing computer risk management practices to ensure wide availability of innovative and safe medical devices through collaborative innovation activities with providers, payers, manufacturers, universities, government agencies, technology companies, individuals, patients, patient advocates and associations; and WHEREAS, Member is interested in being a user of MDISS services and software, and an MDISS member so it can participate in MDISS’ activities; NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

Membership. Upon payment of the dues set forth in Section 2, Member shall become a member of MDISS and shall be able to send representatives who are employed by Member (“Member Representative(s)”) to participate in MDISS’ activities. Member Benefits. Each Member shall have the benefits listed on Exhibit A in addition to access to the Medical Device Risk Assessment Platform (“MDRAP”) in accordance with the terms and conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B. Dues. Membership dues are described in Exhibit C. Membership dues are subject to change. Member will be given a minimum 30 days written notice ahead of any change in dues or fees. Except as provided in Section 12, dues for the initial term of this agreement are non-refundable in the event of early termination.
Term. This Agreement shall have an initial term of twelve (12) months which is effective from the Initiation Date specified in Exhibit C, and shall continue (if renewed) for successive twelve (12) month periods on the Renewal date, also specified in Exhibit C. Either party must give notice of its intent not to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current membership term.
Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Member may terminate its participation in MDISS at any time upon MDISS’s receipt of notice thereof. In addition, this Agreement shall terminate automatically, if: (a) Member is no longer a member in good standing of the MDISS (including via material breach of this Agreement); (b) Member no longer satisfies all of the eligibility criteria for MDISS membership; (c) Member is dissolved or liquidated; or (d) MDISS is dissolved. Termination of membership shall not relieve the Member of any obligations that arose prior to such termination (including, without limitation, the payment of any dues that accrued prior to such termination), or limit any liability that Member may otherwise have to MDISS. Use and Disclosure of Information. General discussions and information exchanged by Members at meetings of MDISS are non‐confidential. Member grants MDISS the right to use any and all data entered into MDISS systems by the Member in furtherance of MDISS’ public health mission provided such data and its use in any papers or reports in support of MDISS’ public health mission is de-identified, de-tagged and aggregated such that none of the data is attributable to the Member unless the Member provides written consent. MDISS Work Product. All intellectual property of the Member contributed to MDISS by the Member shall remain the intellectual property of the Member. However, MDISS owns the compilation of collective work of all participants in MDISS’ activities (“MDISS Work Product”) and has the non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide rights (i.e., a license) to use the contribution in connection with the development of the Work Product for which the contribution was made. Members are solely responsible for determining whether disclosure of any contributions that they submit to MDISS requires prior consent of other parties, and if so, to obtain it. Member agrees to execute any document or instrument MDISS deems reasonably necessary to enable MDISS to apply for, prosecute, and obtain copyrights, patents, or other proprietary rights in order to transfer to MDISS all rights, title, and interest in said Work Product. Co-Marketing Allowed. MDISS may identify Member publicly in marketing materials as a member of MDISS on the MDISS website or otherwise. Each party may use the other’s name and logo (collectively, “Marks”) of the other on a non-exclusive basis during the Term, in connection with (a) MDISS membership drives, events or work product, and Member’s status as a Member, and (b) identifying joint projects and/or information shared according to the terms of this Agreement. No other use of either party’s Marks is permitted except with such party’s prior written permission.
Limitations. A Member’s participation in MDISS and a Member’s use/submittal of intellectual property from/to MDISS is on an “as is” basis, without warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions of title, non‐infringement, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO EACH OTHER OR TO ANY MEMBER FOR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS) ARISING FROM ACTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EVEN IF SUCH PARTY OR MEMBER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LIMITATION OF EITHER PARTY’S OR ANY MEMBER’S LIABILITY SHALL APPLY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS BASED ON SUCH PARTY’S WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE.

Member Organizations in Competition. The Members are committed to fostering open competition, and MDISS does not intend to hinder such competition in any way. Each Member acknowledges that it may find competitors among the larger MDISS membership. Members that may be perceived to be competitors shall treat each other with respect in a most professional manner. All members agree to act in compliance with state, federal and international antitrust laws and regulations. Thereto: Member agrees not to communicate with the “competing” Member(s) in a manner that may violate such laws (which may include communicating prices, costs, production levels or other similar information).

SECTION 18 -- Amendment. Member agrees that MDISS is authorized to amend this Agreement subject however to the following provisions and further provided that such amendment does not impose any material obligations upon Member. Member will be given notice in accordance with Section 12 of this Agreement of any changes to this Agreement (except that only electronic mail notice shall be required). In the event that Member objects to any amendment to this Agreement, Member’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement within 10 business days after Member’s being advised of the amendment. Members will receive a pro rata refund of any fee paid by Member to MDISS that applies to the period after termination for amendments to this Agreement found to be unacceptable to Member. With respect to the subject matter hereof, this Agreement shall supersede any other prior agreement between you and any other MDISS member. MDISS members shall not enter into “side agreements” with other members regarding MDISS technologies, tools, services or practices without first obtaining written permission from MDISS. Except with respect to policies, guidelines, and procedures that may be adopted by MDISS, you and every Member agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations while participating in MDISS.
