B. Seller agrees that Accusoft is permitted to allow an End-User to view, print, copy
text to their computer clipboard or download, and in any combination, after the
End-User purchases the Content, but solely as determined by Content options

restrictions and requirements of the edocr Service Agreement and Seller hereby
acknowledges and accepts the version of that Agreement that is current at the
time of each Contribution and any later changes to that Agreement.

any third party’s intellectual property rights including, but not limited to, copyright,
privacy, trademark, and trade secret rights.

D. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Accusoft harmless and defend Accusoft from
any claim, action or proceeding that arises or results from any of Seller’s actions
or omissions pertaining to any Contribution or to Seller’s use of the Service and
from any of Seller’s actions that are in violation of this Agreement or in violation
of the edocr and my.edocr Service Agreement. In the event of such a properly
noticed claim, action or proceeding, Accusoft may withhold payments otherwise
due Seller until the claim, action or proceeding is resolved.
E. Seller agrees that Seller is responsible for all taxes or fees that might be or
become due to any government or other jurisdiction and that arise from Seller’s

otherwise due to Seller whenever necessary and in the amount of any payments
Accusoft has made for any taxes or fees arising from Seller’s sale of Content.
IV.
Accusoft Obligations
A. Each time an End-user buys Seller’s Content, Accusoft will pay Seller 90%, less
a per-transaction fee, of the selling price Seller has set for Content. The per
transaction fee is presently $0.30 U.S. (30 cents) per transaction. This
per-transaction fee may change from time-to-time as our payment processor
increases their fees. Any changed per-transaction fee takes effect on the date
this Agreement is changed to reflect the new fee.
B. At the end of each month, Accusoft will determine the total amount due Seller for
all purchases from Accusoft of Seller’s Content and Accusoft will pay that amount
to Seller within 30 days of that determination.

or trouble free.

from system or process failures, interruptions, inaccuracies, errors or latencies.

Contributions and emailing Accusoft or by Accusoft by emailing Seller if the other
party breaches any of its obligations or for any other reason.

due from purchases occurring before termination according to IV.A. and IV.B.

Other Provisions

any court of final jurisdiction, then that provision shall be omitted and the
remainder of this Agreement shall continue to be binding and enforceable. In
addition you agree that that court is authorized to enforce any such provision of
this Agreement to whatever lesser extent that court deems reasonable and
appropriate rather than invalidating the entire provision.

alleged breach of this Agreement, to enforce any provisions of this Agreement,

reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, including the costs of any expert
witnesses, incurred at all levels of proceedings.
C. The failure of Accusoft to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to any conflicts of laws rules. Any
action related to or arising under this Agreement will be brought solely in the
state court sitting in Hillsborough County, Florida or in the federal courts in the

matter of the Agreement (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of this
