7. CONFIDENTIALITY

7.1 Definition of Confidential Information

“Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of Customer includes Customer Data; Confidential Information of SERVICE PROVIDER includes the Services and Content, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Order Forms (including pricing). Confidential Information of each party includes business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-disclosure obligations set forth in this “Confidentiality” section apply to Confidential Information exchanged between the parties in connection with the evaluation of additional SERVICE PROVIDER services.

7.2 Protection of Confidential Information

As between the parties, each party retains all ownership rights in and to its Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this “Confidentiality” section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SERVICE PROVIDER may disclose the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Order Form to a subcontractor or Non-SERVICE PROVIDER Application Provider to the extent necessary to perform SERVICE PROVIDER’s obligations under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein.

7.3 Compelled Disclosure

The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.

8.6 Defects in Title

Defects in title of the Services shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of Clause 9 “Mutual Indemnification”.

9. MUTUAL INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Indemnification by SERVICE PROVIDER

SERVICE PROVIDER will defend Customer against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against Customer by a third party alleging that any Purchased Service infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights (a “Claim Against Customer”), and will indemnify Customer from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Customer as a result of, or for amounts paid by Customer under a settlement approved by SERVICE PROVIDER in writing of, a Claim Against Customer, provided Customer (a) promptly gives SERVICE PROVIDER written notice of the Claim Against Customer, (b) gives SERVICE PROVIDER sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against Customer (except that SERVICE PROVIDER may not settle any Claim Against Customer unless it unconditionally releases Customer of all liability), and (c) gives SERVICE PROVIDER all reasonable assistance, at SERVICE PROVIDER’s expense. If SERVICE PROVIDER receives information about an infringement or misappropriation claim related to a Service, SERVICE PROVIDER may in its discretion and at no cost to Customer (i) modify the Services so that they are no longer claimed to infringe or misappropriate, without breaching SERVICE PROVIDER’s warranties under “SERVICE PROVIDER Warranties” above, (ii) obtain a license for Customer’s continued use of that Service in accordance with this Agreement, or (iii) terminate Customer’s subscriptions for that Service upon 30 days’ written notice and refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of the terminated subscriptions. The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply if (1) the allegation does not state with specificity that the Services are the basis of the Claim Against Customer; (2) a Claim Against Customer arises from the use or combination of the Services or any part thereof with software, hardware, data, or processes not provided by SERVICE PROVIDER, if the Services or use thereof would not infringe without such combination; (3) a Claim Against Customer arises from Services under an Order Form for which there is no charge; or (4) a Claim against Customer arises from Content, a Non-SERVICE PROVIDER Application or Customer’s breach of this Agreement, the Documentation or applicable Order Forms.

Customer will defend SERVICE PROVIDER and its Affiliates against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against SERVICE PROVIDER by a third party alleging (a) that any Customer Data or Customer’s use of Customer Data with the Services, (b) a Non-SERVICE PROVIDER Application provided by Customer, or (c) the combination of a Non-SERVICE PROVIDER Application provided by Customer and used with the Services, infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights, or arising from Customer’s use of the Services or Content in an unlawful manner or in violation of the Agreement, the Documentation, or Order Form (each a “Claim Against SERVICE PROVIDER”), and will indemnify SERVICE PROVIDER from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against SERVICE PROVIDER as a result of, or for any amounts paid by SERVICE PROVIDER under a settlement approved by Customer in writing of, a Claim Against SERVICE PROVIDER, provided SERVICE PROVIDER (a) promptly gives Customer written notice of the Claim Against SERVICE PROVIDER, (b) gives Customer sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against SERVICE PROVIDER (except that Customer may not settle any Claim Against SERVICE PROVIDER unless it unconditionally releases SERVICE PROVIDER of all liability), and (c) gives Customer all reasonable assistance, at Customer’s expense. The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply if a Claim Against SERVICE PROVIDER arises from SERVICE PROVIDER’s breach of this Agreement, the Documentation or applicable Order Forms.

10.2 Liability for Breach of Cardinal Duties

If cardinal duties are infringed due to slight negligence and if, as a consequence, the achievement of the objective of this Agreement including any applicable Order Form is endangered, or in the case of a slightly negligent failure to comply with duties, the very discharge of which is an essential prerequisite for the proper performance of this Agreement (including any applicable Order Form), the parties’ liability shall be limited to foreseeable damage typical for the contract. In all other respects, any liability for damage caused by slight negligence shall be excluded.

10.3 Liability Cap

Unless the parties are liable in accordance with “Unlimited Liability” section above, in no event shall the aggregate liability of each party together with all of its Affiliates arising out of or related to this Agreement exceed the total amount paid by Customer and its Affiliates hereunder for the Services giving rise to the liability in the 12 months preceding the first incident out of which the liability arose. The foregoing limitation will not limit Customer’s and its Affiliates’ payment obligations under the “Fees and Payment” section above.

10.4 Scope

With the exception of liability in accordance with the “Unlimited Liability” section, the above limitations of liability shall apply to all claims for damages, irrespective of the legal basis including claims for tort damages.

10.5 Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EACH PARTY TOGETHER WITH ALL OF ITS AFFILIATES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER AND ITS AFFILIATES HEREUNDER FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE FIRST INCIDENT OUT OF WHICH THE LIABILITY AROSE.

10.6 Exclusion of Consequential and Related Damages

IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, GOODWILL, OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, COVER, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF A PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR IF A PARTY’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’ REMEDY OTHERWISE FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW.

11. TERM AND TERMINATION

11.1 Term of Agreement

This Agreement commences on the date Customer first accepts it and continues until all subscriptions hereunder have expired or have been terminated.

11.2 Term of Purchased Subscriptions

The term of each subscription shall be as specified in the applicable Order Form. Except as otherwise specified in an Order Form, subscriptions will automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring subscription term or one year (whichever is shorter), unless either party gives the other written notice (email acceptable) at least 30 days before the end of the relevant subscription term. The per- unit pricing during any renewal term will increase by up to 8% above the applicable pricing in the prior term, unless We provide You notice of different pricing at least 60 days prior to the applicable renewal term. Except as expressly provided in the applicable Order Form, renewal of promotional or one-time priced subscriptions will be at SERVICE PROVIDER’s applicable list price in effect at the time of the applicable renewal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any renewal in which subscription volume or subscription length for any Services has decreased from the prior term will result in re-pricing at renewal without regard to the prior term’s per-unit pricing.

11.3 Termination

A party may terminate this Agreement for cause (i) upon 30 days written notice to the other party of a material breach if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period, or (ii) if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors.

11.4 Refund or Payment upon Termination

If this Agreement is terminated by Customer in accordance with the “Termination” section above, SERVICE PROVIDER will refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all Order Forms after the effective date of termination. If this Agreement is terminated by SERVICE PROVIDER in accordance with the “Termination” section above, Customer will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the term of all Order Forms to the extent permitted by applicable law. In no event will termination relieve Customer of its obligation to pay any fees payable to SERVICE PROVIDER for the period prior to the effective date of termination. If this Agreement is terminated by Customer for any reason other than a termination expressly permitted for by this Agreement, Customer agrees that SERVICE PROVIDER shall be immediately entitled to all of the fees for Services due under this Agreement for the balance of the entire Term, with said fees to be considered as Liquidated Damages for Customer’s failure to abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

12.7 Assignment
