Welcome to CaseUI. Please carefully review these ‘Software as a Service’ Terms and Conditions (“SaaS Terms”) as they contain important information about your legal rights, remedies and obligations. When these SaaS Terms mention “Case UI”, “we”, “us”, or “our”, it refers to Case UI LLC. By subscribing to or using any of our Services (as defined below), you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Service.

These SaaS Terms apply to and are incorporated by reference into the ordering document (the “Quote/Invoice”) made by and between us and the Customer (as identified on the Quote/Invoice) and set forth the terms and conditions under which we will provide the Customer with access to our application as set forth on the Quote/Invoice (“Application”) and user documentation that we make generally available in hard copy or electronic form to our general customer base in conjunction with the licensing of such Application (“Documentation”). The Applications and the Documentation will hereinafter collectively be referred to as the “Software.”

Case UI and Customer hereby agree as follows:

1. LICENSE GRANT AND RIGHT OF USE

1.1. License Grant. Subject to all limitations and restrictions contained herein and the Quote/Invoice, we grant Customer a term subscription, software as a service (‘SaaS’), nonexclusive, and nontransferable right to access and operate the object code form of Applications (and use its Documentation) as described in the Quote/Invoice (“Use”) and solely to perform those functions described in the Documentation. For clarity, an “Application” means our proprietary software that is specifically licensed to Customer pursuant to a Quote/Invoice.

1.2. Use. Customer will have a limited right and license to Use the Application solely for its internal business purposes, to perform the functions described in the Documentation. Customer shall not allow any website that is not fully owned by Customer to frame, syndicate, distribute, replicate, or copy any portion of Customer’s web site that provides direct or indirect access to the Application. Customer shall not allow any website, that is not fully owned by Customer, to frame, syndicate, distribute, replicate, or copy any portion of Customer’s web site that provides direct or indirect access to the Software. Unless otherwise expressly permitted in the Quote/Invoice and subject to Section 1.5, Customer shall not permit any subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or third parties to access the Software.

1.3. License Type. Unless otherwise specifically stated in the Quote/Invoice, the type of license granted is a per Staff User Account. Customer shall ensure that the number of the active Staff User Accounts is equal to or less than the number of Staff User Accounts for which the Customer has subscribed. Customer is responsible for ensuring that access to a Staff User Account is not shared. Only one individual may authenticate to one Staff User Account. Hardware or software Customer uses to pool connections, reroute information, or reduce the number of users that directly access or use the Software (sometimes referred to as “multiplexing” or “pooling”), does not reduce the number of licenses or active Staff User Accounts Customer needs. A “Staff User Account” subscription license means that the Application licensed pursuant to the Quote/Invoice may be Used by a limited number of individual users, each identified by a unique user id the maximum number of which is specified in the Quote/Invoice. Customer may designate different Staff User Accounts at any time without notice to us so long as the permitted number of Staff User Account is not exceeded.

1.4. Additional Restrictions. In no event will Customer disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer the Application or Confidential Information (as defined herein) or permit others to do so. To the extent any such activity may be permitted pursuant to written agreement, the results thereof will be deemed Confidential Information subject to the requirements of these SaaS Terms. Customer may use our Confidential Information solely in connection with the Application and pursuant to the terms of these SaaS Terms.

1.5. Authorized Users. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Quote/Invoice, “Authorized Users” will only consist of: (i) employees of Customer, and (ii) subject to Section 5 (Confidentiality), third party contractors of Customer who do not compete with Case UI (“Permitted Contractors”). Permitted Contractors may Use the Software only at Customer’s place of business or in the presence of Customer personnel. Customer is fully liable for the acts and omissions of Permitted Contractors under these SaaS Terms and applicable Quote/Invoice.

1.6. Customer License Grant. Customer grants to Case UI a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to access, use, reproduce, modify, perform, display and distribute Customer data as is reasonable or necessary for Case UI to perform service on, provide and maintain the Application.

1.7. Third Party Software. The Services may contain third party software that requires notices and/or additional terms and conditions. Such required third party software notices and/or additional terms and conditions may be requested from us and are made a part of and incorporated by reference into these SaaS Terms. By accepting these SaaS Terms, Customer is also accepting the additional terms and conditions, if any, set forth therein.

2. PAYMENT

2.1. Fees. Customer shall pay CASE UI the fees indicated on the Quote/Invoice. Unless otherwise provided in a Quote/Invoice, all fees are to be paid to us within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice. Any late payment will be subject to any costs of collection (including reasonable legal fees) and will bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial periods) or at the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. If Customer has set up a direct debit, we will not debit Customer’s designated account before seven (7) days have elapsed from the date of the invoice. If Customer is delinquent on a payment of fees for fifteen (15) days or more, we may suspend access to the Application. Complaints concerning invoices must be made in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice. Invoices will be sent by electronic delivery unless requested otherwise by Customer, additional fees will apply.

2.2. Taxes. The license, service fees, and other amounts required to be paid hereunder do not include any amount for taxes or levy (including interest and penalties). Customer shall reimburse us and hold Service Provider harmless for all sales, use, excise, property or other taxes or levies which Case UI is required to collect or remit to applicable tax authorities. This provision does not apply to Case UI’s income or franchise taxes, or any taxes for which Customer is exempt, provided Customer has furnished Case UI with a valid tax exemption certificate.

3. HOSTING

3.1. Service Availability. We will use reasonable efforts to achieve our availability goals as followed: Monthly Uptime Percentage of at least 99.5% for any calendar month.

3.2 Backup and Retention. Each customer’s database and uploaded case files are backed up daily on and off-site.  Both database and case file backups are retained for 6 months before permanently deleted. Customer may request a copy of the backups within retention period.

3.3 Hosting Provider. Case UI reserves the right to selecting in-house or third-party cloud providers for both or either hosting or backups.

3.4 Logging. User activities within Case UI are logged to comply with security standards. Logs are retained for 6 months before permanently deleted. Customer can download logs within retention period any time from the Case UI administration section.

4. OWNERSHIP

4.1. Reservation of Rights. By signing the Quote/Invoice or whatever method of agreement, including signing digitally/electronically, etc. , Customer irrevocably acknowledges that, subject to the licenses granted herein, Customer has no ownership interest in the Software or Case UI materials provided to Customer. We will own all rights, title, and interest in such Software and our materials, subject to any limitations associated with intellectual property rights of third parties. We reserve all rights not specifically granted herein.

4.2. Marks and Publicity. Case UI and Customer trademarks, trade names, service marks, and logos, whether or not registered (“Marks”), are the sole and exclusive property of the respective owning party, which owns all right, title and interest therein. We may: (i) use the Customer’s name and/or logo within product literature, press release(s), social media, and other marketing materials; (ii) quote the Customer’s statements in one or more press releases; and/or (iii) make such other use of the Customer’s name and/or logo as may be agreed between the parties. Additionally, we may include Customer’s name and/or logo within its list of customers for general promotional purposes. We shall comply with Customer’s trademark use guidelines as such are communicated to us in writing and Case UI shall use the Customer’s Marks in a manner which is consistent with industry practice. Neither party grants to the other any title, interest or other right in any Marks except as provided in this Section.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY

5.1. Definition. “Confidential Information” includes all information marked pursuant to this Section and disclosed by either party, before or after the Quote/Invoice Term Start Date (as identified on the Quote/Invoice), and generally not publicly known, whether tangible or intangible and in whatever form or medium provided, as well as any information generated by a party that contains, reflects, or is derived from such information. For clarity, the term ‘Confidential Information’ does not include any personally identifiable information.

5.2. Confidentiality of Software. All Confidential Information in tangible form will be marked as “Confidential” or the like or, if intangible (e.g., orally disclosed), will be designated as being confidential at the time of disclosure and will be confirmed as such in writing within thirty (30) days of the initial disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following is deemed CASE UI Confidential Information with or without such marking or written confirmation: (i) the Software and other related materials furnished by us; (ii) the oral and visual information relating to the Application; and (iii) these SaaS Terms.

5.3. Exceptions. Without granting any right or license, the obligations of the parties hereunder will not apply to any material or information that: (i) is or becomes a part of the public domain through no act or omission by the receiving party; (ii) is independently developed by the other party without use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information; (iii) is rightfully obtained from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality; or (iv) is already known by the receiving party without any obligation of confidentiality prior to obtaining the Confidential Information from the disclosing party. In addition, neither party will be liable for disclosure of Confidential Information if made in response to a valid order of a court or authorized agency of government, provided that notice is promptly given to the disclosing party so that the disclosing party may seek a protective order and engage in other efforts to minimize the required disclosure. The parties shall cooperate fully in seeking such protective order and in engaging in such other efforts.

5.4. Ownership of Confidential Information. Nothing in these SaaS Terms will be construed to convey any title or ownership rights to the Software or other Confidential Information to Customer or to any patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret embodied therein, or to grant any other right, title, or ownership interest to our Confidential Information. Neither party shall, in whole or in part, sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, or disclose the Confidential Information to any third party and shall not copy, reproduce or distribute the Confidential Information except as expressly permitted in these SaaS Terms. Each party shall take every reasonable precaution, but no less than those precautions used to protect its own Confidential Information, to prevent the theft, disclosure, and the unauthorized copying, reproduction or distribution of the Confidential Information.

5.5. Non-Disclosure. Each party agrees at all times to use all reasonable efforts, but in any case, no less than the efforts that each party uses in the protection of its own Confidential Information of like value, to protect Confidential Information belonging to the other party. Each party agrees to restrict access to the other party’s Confidential Information only to those employees or Subcontractors who: (i) require access in the course of their assigned duties and responsibilities; and (ii) have agreed in writing to be bound by provisions no less restrictive than those set forth in this Section.

5.6. Injunctive Relief. Each party acknowledges that any unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information would cause the other party imminent irreparable injury and that such party will be entitled to, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief in the event the other party does not fulfill its obligations under this Section.

5.7. Suggestions/Improvements to Software. Notwithstanding this Section, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, all suggestions, solutions, improvements, corrections, and other contributions provided by Customer regarding the Software or other Case UI materials provided to Customer will be owned by Case UI, and Customer hereby agrees to assign any such rights to Service Provider. Nothing in these SaaS Terms will preclude Case UI from using in any manner or for any purpose it deems necessary, the know-how, techniques, or procedures acquired or used by us in the performance of services hereunder.

6. WARRANTY

6.1. No Malicious Code. To the knowledge of Case UI, the Application does not contain any malicious code, program, or other internal component (e.g. computer virus, computer worm, computer time bomb, or similar component), which could damage, destroy, or alter the Application, or which could reveal, damage, destroy, or alter any data or other information accessed through or processed by the Application in any manner. This warranty will be considered part of and covered under the provisions of these SaaS Terms. Customer must: (i) notify us promptly in writing of any nonconformance under this warranty; (ii) provide us with reasonable opportunity to remedy any nonconformance under the provisions of these SaaS Terms; and (iii) provide reasonable assistance in identifying and remedying any nonconformance.

Disclaimer of Warranties. Any and all of SOFTWARE, SERVICES, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and any other technology or materials provided by US to the CUSTOMER are provided “as is” and without warranty of any kind. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED IN SECTION 6 OF THESE SAAS TERMS. WE MAKE NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. NEITHER CASE UI (NOR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS) WARRANTS OR REPRESENTS THAT THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE ARE RISKS INHERENT IN INTERNET CONNECTIVITY THAT COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CUSTOMER’S PRIVACY, DATA, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, AND PROPERTY.

6.5. Modifications. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, any and all warranties under these SaaS Terms are VOID if Customer has made changes to the Software or has permitted any changes to be made other than by or with the express, written approval of Case UI.

7. INDEMNIFICATION

7.1. CASE UI Indemnity. We will defend at its expense any cause of action brought against Customer, to the extent that such cause of action is based on a claim that the Application, as hosted by us to Customer, infringes a United States patent, copyright, or trade secret of a third party. We will pay those costs and damages finally awarded against Customer pursuant to any such claim or paid in settlement of any such claim if such settlement was approved in advance by us. Customer may retain its own counsel at Customer’s own expense.

7.2. No Liability. Case UI will have no liability for any claim of infringement based on: (i) Software which has been modified by parties other than Case UI where the infringement claim would not have occurred in the absence of such modification; (ii) Customer’s use of the Software in conjunction with data where use with such data gave rise to the infringement claim; or (iii) Customer’s use of the Software outside the permitted scope of these SaaS Terms.

7.3. Remedies. Should the Software become, or in our opinion is likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement, Case UI may, at its option, (i) obtain the right for Customer to continue using the Software, (ii) replace or modify the Software so it is no longer infringing or reduces the likelihood that it will be determined to be infringing, or (iii) if neither of the foregoing options is commercially reasonable, terminate the access and Use of the Software. Upon such termination, Customer shall cease accessing the Software and we will refund to Customer, as Customer’s sole remedy for such license termination, the subscription fees paid by Customer for the terminated license term for up to the past twelve (12) months. THIS SECTION 7 STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF CASE UI WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT REGARDING THE APPLICATION.

7.4. Customer Indemnity. Customer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Case UI and its officers, directors, employees, consultants, and agents harmless from and against any and all damages, costs, liabilities, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), and settlement amounts incurred in connection with any claim arising from or relating to Customer’s: (i) breach of any of its obligations set forth in Section 10 (Customer Obligations); (ii) Customer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) actual or alleged use of the Application in violation of these SaaS Terms or applicable law by Customer or any Authorized Users; (iv) any actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation of third party intellectual property rights arising from data provided to us by the Customer or otherwise inputted into the Application, whether by the Customer, an Authorized User or otherwise including Customer Work Product (as defined below); and/or (v) any violation by Customer or its Authorized Users, of any terms, conditions, agreements or policies of any third party service provider. “Customer Work Product” means that data and those forms developed or acquired by Customer for internal business purposes independent from Case UI or the Application.

7.5. Indemnification Procedures. Each indemnifying party’s obligations as set forth in this Section are subject to the other party: (i) giving the indemnifying party prompt written notice of any such claim or the possibility thereof; (ii) giving the indemnifying party sole control over the defense and settlement of any such claim; and (iii) providing full cooperation in good faith in the defense of any such claim.

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

8.1. Liability Cap. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL SERVICE PROVIDER BE LIABLE UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN EQUITABLE, LEGAL, OR COMMON LAW ACTION ARISING HEREUNDER FOR CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, INDEMNITY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), ATTORNEYS FEES AND COSTS, OR OTHERWISE, FOR DAMAGES WHICH, IN THE AGGREGATE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE SERVICES WHICH GAVE RISE TO SUCH DAMAGES.

8.2. Disclaimer of Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL CASE UI BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND AND HOWEVER CAUSED INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ATTORNEYS FEES AND COSTS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR GOODWILL.

The choice of venue does not prevent a party from seeking injunctive or any interim relief in any appropriate jurisdiction.

Unless otherwise expressly permitted in the Quote and subject to Section 4 above, Customer shall not permit any subsidiaries, affiliated entities, or third parties to access the Software.

Additional Restrictions. In no event will Customer disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer the Application or Confidential Information (as defined herein) or permit others to do so.

Payment Due Date. All invoices shall be payable by Customer in United States dollars and payment shall be due thirty (30) days after the invoice date. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, any and all payments required to be made hereunder shall be timely made, and no payments to Licensor shall be withheld, delayed, reduced or refunded if Licensor has fully performed its material obligations and its inability to meet any schedule or delivery requirements is caused by Customer’s failure to provide certain of its facilities, computer resources, software programs, project management activities, personnel, and business information as are required to perform any of Licensor’s obligations hereunder.

Taxes. All amounts required to be paid hereunder do not include any amount for taxes or levy (including interest and penalties). Customer shall reimburse Licensor and hold Licensor harmless for all sales, use, excise, property, or other taxes or levies which Licensor is required to collect or remit to applicable tax authorities. This provision does not apply to Licensor’s income or franchise taxes, or any taxes for which Customer is exempt, provided Customer has furnished Licensor with a valid tax exemption certificate.

3. DELIVERY/VERIFICATION

Delivery. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Quote, Licensor shall deliver to Customer one master copy of the licensed Software (each a “Master Copy”) solely for the purpose of allowing Customer to make one copy of the Master Copy for Use by each Authorized User. Customer’s right to reproduce the Master Copy shall be limited to the Authorized Reproduction Location, defined as the address for Customer on the applicable Quote. Customer shall assume all responsibility for the quality of the copies made by Customer. For purposes of this License Agreement, delivery shall be deemed complete when Licensor physically delivers, or causes a third party to deliver, a Master Copy to Customer, or makes the Master Copy available to Customer for downloading from Licensor’s File Transfer Protocol (“FTP”) site and has provided Customer with the appropriate authorization to access the FTP site. Licensor will provide Customer with a license key that is required to activate and use the Software. The license key will be provided via email or other like method at Licensor’s discretion. The license key is used to ensure that the Software operates in accordance with the license granted to the Customer in this License Agreement. As such, the Software may contain time-out devices, counter devices, or other similar devices intended to prevent the Software from being used beyond the bounds of the license. Customer consents to such activity and agrees not to disable, attempt to disable, or tamper with the license key system or any other such license enforcement technology.

Archival and Backup Copies. Subject to the restrictions set forth herein, Customer may make a reasonable number of copies of the Master Copy solely for archival purposes and backup use in accordance with Customer’s standard backup processes in emergency situations.

Marking. Customer shall include all copyright notices, proprietary legends, any trademark and service mark attributions, any patent markings, and other indicia of ownership and confidential markings on all copies of the Software and any other Licensor materials provided to Customer, in the content and format contained on the Master Copy and such Licensor materials. Customer shall pay all duplication and distribution costs incurred by Customer in making copies of the Software, and shall also pay all custom duties and fees if applicable. Subject only to the license granted herein, all copies of the Software and any other Licensor materials provided to Customer are the property of Licensor or its third party licensors from whom Licensor has obtained marketing rights (the “Third Party Licensors”).

Records. Customer shall keep and maintain complete and accurate records of each copy of the Software including any and all pertinent distribution information. If the license is a Named User License, Customer shall, upon Licensor’s request, provide reports to Licensor specifying the cumulative total of copies, and all other reasonably pertinent distribution information. All reports shall be delivered to Licensor within thirty (30) days of such request.

Verification. Customer agrees that Licensor may, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice, enter Customer’s premises to verify Customer’s compliance with the provisions of this License Agreement. Licensor’s inspections shall be limited to: (i) one annual inspection (unless Licensor believes that it has just cause for multiple inspections); (ii) Customer’s normal business hours; and (iii) those records pertaining to the Software licensed hereunder or other Licensor Confidential Information. Licensor’s rights of inspection shall remain in effect through the period ending six (6) months from the termination or expiration of this License Agreement and any applicable license hereunder.

Reservation of Rights. By signing the applicable Quote, Customer irrevocably acknowledges that, subject to the licenses granted herein, Customer has no ownership interest in the Software or Licensor Materials provided to Customer. Licensor shall own all right, title, and interest in such Software or Licensor Materials, subject to any limitations associated with intellectual property rights of third parties. Licensor reserves all rights not specifically granted herein.

Marks and Publicity.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY

Definition. All information which is defined as Confidential Information hereunder in tangible form shall be marked as “Confidential” or the like or, if intangible (e.g. visually or orally disclosed), shall be designated as being confidential at the time of disclosure and shall be confirmed as such in writing within thirty (30) days of the initial disclosure. “Confidential Information” may include all technical, product, business, financial, and other information regarding the business and software programs of either party, its customers, employees, investors, contractors, vendors and suppliers, including, but not limited to, programming techniques and methods, research and development, computer programs, documentation, marketing plans, customer identity, and business methods. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Confidential Information shall include all information and materials disclosed orally or in any other form, regarding Licensor’s software products or software product development, including, but not limited to, the configuration techniques, data classification techniques, user interface, applications programming interfaces, data modeling and management techniques, data structures, and other information of or relating to Licensor’s software products or derived from testing or other use thereof. Confidential Information includes all such Confidential Information that may have been disclosed by either party to the other party, before or after the first Term Start Date. Confidential Information includes information generally not publicly known, whether tangible or intangible and in whatever form or medium provided, as well as any information generated by a party that contains, reflects, or is derived from such information. For clarity, the term ‘Confidential Information’ does not include any personally identifiable information. Obligations with respect to such information (if any) will be set forth in a separate written agreement between the parties. For the purpose of this entire Section 5, ‘Licensor’ shall include all its Affiliates. “Affiliate” under this License Agreement shall mean any entity, directly or indirectly, controlled by or under common control with or controlling a party to this License Agreement.

Confidentiality of Software. The following is deemed Licensor Confidential Information with or without marking or written confirmation: (i) the Software and other related materials furnished by Licensor; (ii) the oral and visual information relating to the Software and provided in Licensor’s training classes; and (iii) Licensor’s representation methods of modeled data.

Exceptions. Without granting any right or license, the obligations of the parties hereunder shall not apply to any material or information that: (i) is or becomes a part of the public domain through no act or omission by the receiving party; (ii) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information; (iii) is rightfully obtained from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality to the receiving party; or (iv) is already known by the receiving party without any obligation of confidentiality prior to obtaining the Confidential Information from the disclosing party. In addition, neither party shall be liable for disclosure of Confidential Information if made in response to a valid order of a court or authorized agency of government, provided that notice is promptly given to the party whose Confidential Information is to be disclosed so that such party may seek a protective order and engage in other efforts to minimize the required disclosure. The parties shall cooperate fully in seeking such protective order and in engaging in such other efforts.

Ownership of Confidential Information. Nothing in this License Agreement shall be construed to convey any title or ownership rights to the Software or other Licensor Confidential Information or to any patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret embodied therein, or to grant any other right, title, or ownership interest in Licensor Confidential Information to the Customer. Nothing in this License Agreement shall be construed to convey any title or ownership rights to Customer’s Confidential Information or to any patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret embodied therein, or to grant any other right, title, or ownership interest in the Customer Confidential Information to Licensor. Neither party shall, in whole or in part, sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, or disclose the Confidential Information to any third party and shall not copy, reproduce, or distribute the Confidential Information except as expressly permitted in this License Agreement. Each party shall take every reasonable precaution, but no less than those precautions used to protect its own Confidential Information, to prevent the theft, disclosure, and the unauthorized copying, reproduction, or distribution of the Confidential Information.

Non-Disclosure. Each party agrees at all times to use all reasonable efforts, but in any case no less than the efforts that each party uses in the protection of its own Confidential Information of like value, to protect Confidential Information belonging to the other party. Each party agrees to restrict access to the other party’s Confidential Information only to those employees, who (i) require access in the course of their assigned duties and responsibilities, and (ii) have agreed in writing to be bound by provisions no less restrictive than those set forth in this Section 5. Notwithstanding anything contained hereunder and subject to the Confidentiality obligations set forth under this Section 5, all references to Licensor or its employees under this Section 5 shall be deemed to include such employees of Affiliates and Subcontractors and Licensor will ensure that its Subcontractors abide by the applicable terms of the License Agreement.

Injunctive Relief. Each party acknowledges that any unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information would cause the other party imminent irreparable injury and that such party shall be entitled to, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief in the event the other party does not fulfill its obligations under this Section 5.

Suggestions/Improvements to Software. Notwithstanding this Section 5, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, all suggestions, solutions, improvements, corrections, and other contributions provided by Customer regarding the Software or other Licensor materials provided to Customer shall be owned by Licensor, and Customer hereby agrees to assign any such rights to Licensor. Nothing in this License Agreement or the applicable Quote shall preclude Licensor from using in any manner or for any purpose it deems necessary, the know-how, techniques, or procedures acquired or used by Licensor in the performance of any services hereunder.

Return of Confidential Information. Upon the written request of disclosing party, receiving party shall return or destroy (and certify such destruction in a signed writing) all Confidential Information of disclosing party, including all copies thereof and materials incorporating such Confidential Information, whether in physical or electronic form. Each party may retain a copy of the other party’s Confidential Information solely for archival purposes. To the extent that it is impracticable to return or destroy any Confidential Information, and with respect to any copies retained for archival purposes, receiving party shall continue to maintain the Confidential Information in accordance with this License Agreement. The confidentiality obligations set forth in this License Agreement shall survive the termination of this License Agreement and remain in full force and effect until such Confidential Information, through no act or omission of receiving party, ceases to be Confidential Information as defined hereunder.

6. WARRANTY

Software Warranty. Licensor warrants that for a period of ninety (90) days from the applicable Term Start Date (the “Warranty Period”), the Applications will materially conform to the functional specifications set forth in the Documentation (the “Specifications”). Should the Applications fail to materially conform to such Specifications during the Warranty Period, Customer shall promptly notify Licensor in writing on or before the last day of the Warranty Period and identify with specificity the nonconformance. To the extent that the nonconformance exists in a current, unaltered release of the Applications, Licensor shall, at its option (and cost and expense), either (i) correct the nonconformance or, (ii) replace the nonconforming Applications or, (iii) if neither of the foregoing options is commercially reasonable, terminate the license for the Software.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE STATED IN THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT, LICENSOR MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

No Modifications. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, any and all warranties under this License Agreement are void if Customer has made changes to the Software or has permitted any changes to be made other than by or with the express, written approval of Licensor.

7. INFRINGEMENT

Indemnity. Licensor will defend at its expense any cause of action brought against Customer, to the extent that such cause of action is based on a claim that the Software, as delivered by Licensor to Customer, infringes a United States patent, copyright, or trade secret of a third party. Licensor will pay those costs and damages finally awarded by a court of final jurisdiction (with no further appeals being possible) against Customer pursuant to any such claim or paid in settlement of any such claim if such settlement was approved in advance and in writing by Licensor. Customer may retain its own counsel at Customer’s own expense.

Customer Obligations. Licensor shall have no liability under this Section 7 unless: Customer notifies Licensor in writing immediately after Customer becomes aware of a claim or the possibility thereof; and Licensor has sole control of the settlement, compromise, negotiation, and defense of any such action; and Customer cooperates, in good faith, in the defense of any such legal action.

No Liability. Licensor shall have no liability for any claim of infringement based on: (i) Software which has been modified by parties other than Licensor; (ii) Customer’s use of the Software in conjunction with data where use with such data gave rise to the infringement claim; or (iii) Customer’s use of the Software with non-Licensor software or hardware, where use with such other software or hardware gave rise to the infringement claim.

Remedies. Should the Software become, or in Licensor’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement, Licensor may, at its option: (i) obtain the right for Customer to continue using the Software; (ii) replace or modify the Software so it is no longer infringing or reduces the likelihood that it will be determined to be infringing; or (iii) if neither of the foregoing options is commercially reasonable, terminate the license for the Software. Upon such termination of the licenses and Customer’s return of the Software pursuant to Section 9 below, Licensor will refund to Customer, as Customer’s sole remedy for such license termination, (i) with respect to perpetual licenses, all license fees paid by Customer for the terminated license, less an amount equal to one-thirty-sixth (1/36th) of the license fees for each month or any portion thereof which has elapsed since the Term Start Date of such terminated license or (ii) with respect to subscription licenses, the subscription fees paid by Customer for the terminated license for up to the past twelve (12) months. This Section 7 states the entire liability of Licensor with respect to any claim of infringement regarding the Software.

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

LIABILITY CAP. LICENSOR’S (AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS AND AGENTS) LIABILITY ARISING OUT OR RELATED TO THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE, THE FEE ACTUALLY PAID TO LICENSOR FOR THE SOFTWARE LICENSE/SUBSCRIPTION FEE UNDER A QUOTE THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE FILING OF SUCH CLAIM.

DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR (OR ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS OR AGENTS) BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR ANY LOSS OF REVENUE, GOODWILL, PROFITS, DATA OR DATA USE ARISING OUT OR RELATED TO THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT. THE LIABILITIES LIMITED BY SECTION 8 APPLY: (i) TO LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE; (ii) REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE; (iii) EVEN IF LICENSOR IS ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DAMAGES IN QUESTION AND EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE; (iv) ATTORNEYS FEES AND COSTS, AND (v) EVEN IF CUSTOMER’S REMEDIES FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
