(“Feedback” refers to any suggestion or idea for improving or otherwise modifying any of Vendor’s products or services.)

The Receiving Party shall be responsible as a principal for any disclosures made by any persons to whom the Receiving Party discloses any Information, as if such persons had been party to a confidentiality agreement with the Disclosing Party with terms and conditions identical to those in this Agreement and the Receiving Party had signed as a guarantor of such person’s obligations under such confidentiality agreement. The Receiving Party shall not reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile any prototypes, software or other tangible objects which embody the Disclosing Party’s Information and which are provided to the Receiving Party hereunder.

    3. Maintenance of Information.  The Receiving Party agrees that it shall take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of the Information.

The Receiving Party shall not make any copies of Information unless the same are previously approved in writing by the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party shall reproduce the Disclosing Party’s proprietary rights notices on any such approved copies, in the same manner in which such notices were set forth in or on the original. The Receiving Party shall immediately notify the Disclosing Party in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Information.

    7. Survival.  This Section 10 shall survive for a period of five years from the last date of disclosure of any Information.

    8. Remedies.  The Receiving Party agrees that any violation or threatened violation of this Section 10 will cause irreparable injury to the Disclosing Party, entitling the Disclosing Party to obtain injunctive relief in addition to all legal remedies.

  11. 11.  REPRESENTATIONS & WARRANTIES. 

    1. From Vendor. 

      1. Re IP Rights in the System. Subject to the next sentence, Vendor represents and warrants that it is the owner of the System and of each and every component thereof, or the recipient of a valid license thereto, and that it has and will maintain the full power and authority to grant the rights granted in this Agreement without the further consent of any third party. Vendor’s representations and warranties in the preceding sentence do not apply to the extent that the infringement arises out of any of the conditions listed in Subsections 12.1(a) through 12.1(f) below. In the event of a breach of the warranty in this Section 11.1, Vendor, at its own expense, will promptly take the following actions: (i) secure for Customer the right to continue using the System; (ii) replace or modify the System to make it noninfringing; or (iii) terminate the infringing features of the Service and refund to Customer any prepaid fees for such features, in proportion to the portion of the Effective Term left after such termination. In conjunction with Customer’s right to terminate for breach where applicable, the preceding sentence states Vendor’s sole obligation and liability, and Customer’s sole remedy, for breach of the warranty in this Section 11.1 and for potential or actual intellectual property infringement by the System.

      2. Re Professional Services. Vendor represents and warrants that the Deliverables will conform to their specifications set forth in the applicable SoW (as defined in Subsection 5.2(a) above).

      3. Service Level Agreement.

    2. From Customer. 

      1. Re Customer Itself. Customer represents and warrants that: (i) it has the full right and authority to enter into, execute, and perform its obligations under this Agreement and that no pending or threatened claim or litigation known to it would have a material adverse impact on its ability to perform as required by this Agreement; (ii) it has accurately identified itself and it has not provided any inaccurate information about itself to or through the System; and (iii) it is a corporation, the sole proprietorship of an individual 18 years or older, or another entity authorized to do business pursuant to applicable law.

    3. Warranty Disclaimers. Except to the extent set forth in the SLA and in Section 11.1 above or elsewise prohibited by law, CUSTOMER ACCEPTS THE SYSTEM “AS IS” AND AS AVAILABLE, WITH NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM STATUTE, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING: (a) VENDOR DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SYSTEM WILL PERFORM WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR ERROR; AND (b) VENDOR DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SYSTEM IS SECURE FROM HACKING OR OTHER UNAUTHORIZED INTRUSION OR THAT CUSTOMER DATA WILL REMAIN PRIVATE OR SECURE. VENDOR DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE PERFORMED ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT VENDOR WILL CORRECT ALL SERVICES ERRORS.  CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGEs THAT VENDOR DOES NOT CONTROL THE TRANSFER OF DATA OVER COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES, INCLUDING THE INTERNET, AND THAT THE SERVICE MAY BE SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS, DELAYS, AND OTHER PROBLEMS INHERENT IN THE USE OF SUCH COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES. VENDOR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DELAYS, DELIVERY FAILURES, OR OTHER DAMAGE RESULTING FROM SUCH PROBLEMS. 

  12. 12.  INDEMNIFICATION. 

    1. From Vendor. Vendor shall defend and indemnify Customer and Customer’s Associates (as defined below in Section 12.3) against any “Vendor Indemnified Claim,” meaning any third party claim, suit, or proceeding arising out of, related to, or alleging infringement of any patent, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property right by the System. Vendor Indemnified Claims do not include any claim, suit proceeding etc. arising out of: (a) Customer’s breach of this Agreement; (b) revisions to the Licensed Software or other System components made without Vendor’s written consent; (c) Customer’s failure to incorporate Licensed Software updates or upgrades that would have avoided the alleged infringement, provided Vendor offered such updates or upgrades without charges not otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement; (d) Vendor’s modification of Licensed Software in compliance with specifications provided by Customer, including without limitation Deliverables to the extent created based on such specifications; (e) any Deliverable, if the SoW or a disclosure provided at or before delivery states that such Deliverable incorporates third party software or other assets; or (f) use of the System in combination with hardware or software not provided by Vendor.

    2. From Customer. Customer shall indemnify and defend Vendor and Vendor’s Associates (as defined below in Section 12.3) from and against any Losses arising out of or related to Customer’s or Customer’s Users’ alleged or actual use of, misuse of, or failure to use the System, including without limitation: (a) claims by Customer’s Clients or other Users or by Customer’s or Customer’s Clients’ employees; (b) claims related to unauthorized disclosure or exposure of personally identifiable information or other private information, including Customer Data; (c) claims related to infringement or violation of a copyright, trademark, trade secret, or privacy or confidentiality right by written material, images, logos or other content uploaded to the System through Customer’s account, including without limitation by Customer Data; (d) claims that use of the System through Customer’s account, including by Customer’s Clients or other Users, harasses, defames, or defrauds a third party or violates the CAN-Spam Act of 2003 or any other law or restriction on electronic advertising. Indemnified Claims pursuant to the preceding sentence also include (f) claims related to the injury to or death of any individual, or any loss of or damage to real or tangible personal property, caused by the act or omission of Customer or of any of its agents, subcontractors, or employees. Losses from claims listed above in this Section 12.2 include, without limitation, those claims arising out of or related to Vendor’s negligence.

    3. Litigation & Additional Terms. The obligations of the indemnifying party (“Indemnitor”) pursuant to Section 12.1 or 12.2 above: (a) include retention and payment of attorneys and payment of court costs, as well as settlement at Indemnitor’s expense and payment of judgments; and (b) will be excused to the extent that the other contracting party’s (“Indemnified Party’s”) or any of such Indemnified Party’s Associates’ failure to provide prompt notice of the Indemnified Claim or reasonably to cooperate materially prejudices the defense. Indemnitor will control the defense of any Indemnified Claim, including appeals, negotiations, and any settlement or compromise thereof; provided Indemnified Party will have the right, not to be exercised unreasonably, to reject any settlement or compromise that requires that it admit wrongdoing or liability or subjects it to any ongoing affirmative obligations. (A party’s “Associates” are its officers, directors, shareholders, parents, subsidiaries, agents, successors, and assigns.)

  13. 13.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

    1. Service Level Credits. Customer’s sole remedy for a breach of the Uptime guarantee in Section 11.1(c) is a credit, in the form of an extension of service, as follows: for each Customer and each period over which Uptime is calculated, for each day or partial day of downtime within that period in breach of the guaranteed Uptime per Customer, Customer will receive ten days of extension of access to the System for which Customer is then subscribed, at no charge. There is no service level agreement for any version of the System that is made available for subscription at no charge. This Section 11.1(c) does not and is not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the Customer. 

    2. Dollar Cap. VENDOR’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED ONE QUARTER OF ANY FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY CUSTOMER TO VENDOR HEREUNDER DURING THE PRIOR SIX MONTHS.

    3. Exclusion of Certain Damages. IN NO EVENT WILL VENDOR BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.

    4. Clarifications & Disclaimers. THE LIABILITIES LIMITED BY THIS ARTICLE 13 APPLY: (a) TO LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE; (b) REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE; (c) EVEN IF VENDOR IS ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DAMAGES IN QUESTION AND EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE; AND (d) EVEN IF CUSTOMER’S REMEDIES FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. If applicable law limits the application of the provisions of this Article 13, Vendor’s liability will be limited to the maximum extent permissible. For the avoidance of doubt, Vendor’s liability limits and other rights set forth in this Article 13 apply likewise to Vendor’s affiliates, licensors, suppliers, advertisers, agents, sponsors, directors, officers, employees, consultants, and other representatives.

  14. 14.  Effective Term & Effective Termination.

    1. Effective Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Effective Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and continue for the period set forth in the Order or, if none, for one year. Thereafter, the Effective Term will renew for successive equivalent periods, unless either party refuses such renewal by written notice 30 or more days before the renewal date.  

    2. Access on Default. Customer agrees that it may not use the System if it is in default of its obligations under the Agreement. In addition, Vendor may immediately suspend Customer’s password, account, and access to or use of the services (i) if Customer fails to pay Vendor as required under the agreement and does not cure within the first ten days of the 30 day cure period, or (ii) if Customer violates any other provision of this Agreement. Vendor may terminate the services hereunder if any of the foregoing is not cured within 30 days after Vendor’s initial notice thereof.  Any suspension by Vendor of the services under this Section 14.2 shall not excuse Customer from its obligation to make payment(s) under the agreement. At Cutomer’s request, and for a period of up to 60 days after the termination of the applicable ordering document, Vendor may permit Customer to access the services solely to the extent necessary for Customer to retrieve a file of its data then in the services environment.  Customer agrees and acknowledges that Vendor has no obligation to retain Customer data and that such data may be irretrievably deleted after 60 days following the suspension of Customer’s access for default.  

    1. Effective Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement for the other’s material breach by written notice, effective in 30 days unless the other party first cures such breach. Without limiting Vendor’s other rights and remedies, Vendor may suspend or terminate a Customer’s Client’s or other User’s access to the System at any time, without advanced notice, if Vendor reasonably concludes such Customer’s Client or other User has conducted itself in a way that is not consistent with the requirements of the AUP or the other requirements of this Agreement or in a way that subjects Vendor to potential liability.

    2. Effects of Effective Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, Customer shall cease all use of the System and delete, destroy, or return all copies of the Documentation in its possession or control. The following provisions will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement: (a) any obligation of Customer to pay fees incurred before termination; (b) Articles and Sections 4.2 (Restrictions on Software Rights) 9 (IP & Feedback), 10 (Confidential Information), 11.2 (Warranty Disclaimers), 12 (Indemnification), and 13 (Limitation of Liability); and (c) any other provision of this Agreement that must survive to fulfill its essential purpose.

    4. Assignment & Successors. Customer may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without Vendor’s express written consent.

    6. No Waiver. Neither party will be deemed to have waived any of its rights under this Agreement by lapse of time or by any statement or representation other than by an authorized representative in an explicit written waiver. No waiver of a breach of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other breach of this Agreement.
