THE FOREGOING STATES SUPPLIER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY AND THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF CUSTOMER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.
(b) Customer’s Indemnity. Customer agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Supplier, its affiliates and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and permitted assigns from and against all costs, damages and expenses arising out of or on account of any violation of Section 2 (Restrictions) or Section 15(a) (Customer Data) by Customer.
17. Warranty & Warranty Disclaimer
(a) Subscription Services – Limited Warranty. Supplier warrants that the Subscription Services will conform in all material respects to the documentation provided by Supplier in relation to the Subscription Services. As Customer’s sole remedy for any breach of this warranty, if Customer brings to Supplier’s notice any incidence of non-conformance, Supplier will use reasonable efforts to correct the error. Supplier’s maintenance hours for receiving any such calls are set in the Order Form.
(b) Service Level Guarantee. If the Subscription Services are unavailable to Customer for more than five percent (5%), or such other figure specified in the Order Form, of the scheduled uptime for any month (exclusive of scheduled maintenance time or any downtime attributable to third parties or Customer, or for which Supplier is not responsible (including, but not limited to interruptions and delays inherent in Internet communications), then Supplier will credit Customer with a proportionate share of the Service fees for such month on Customer’s next required payment to Supplier (for example, if the Subscription Services are unavailable for six percent (6%) of the month, then the credit will be equal to six percent (6%) of the fees in respect of that month). In order to receive downtime credit, Customer must notify Supplier in writing within forty eight (48) hours from the time of downtime, and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit. Such credits may not be redeemed for cash and shall not be cumulative beyond a total of credits for one (1) week of Service fees in any one (1) calendar month in any event. Supplier will only apply a credit to the month in which the incident occurred. Supplier’s blocking of data communications or other Service in accordance with its policies shall not be deemed to be a failure of Supplier to provide adequate service levels under this Agreement.
(c) Internet. Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the web pages generated with the Subscription Services will be served (i.e. delivered from Supplier’s internal network or that of its Internet service provider) promptly regardless of the level of traffic to Supplier’s servers, subject to outages, communication and data flow failures, interruptions and delays inherent in Internet communications. Customer acknowledges that problems with the Internet, equipment, software and network failures, impairments or congestion, or the configuration of Customer’s computer systems, may prevent, interrupt or delay Customer’s access to the Subscription Services or data stored within the Subscription Services. Supplier is not liable for any delays, interruptions, suspensions or unavailability of the Subscription Services or the data stored within the Subscription Services, attributable to problems with the Internet or the configuration of Customer’s computer systems.
(d) System Requirements. Customer acknowledges that the Subscription Services are intended to perform with, and Supplier provides the Subscription Services based upon, the system requirements specified in the Order Form or additional documentation made available by Supplier to Customer, as those may be updated by Supplier from time to time. Supplier has no liability for failure of the Subscription Services based upon Customer’s failure to comply with such system requirements.
(e) Products. Supplier represents that it has the authority of each producer and/or manufacturer of Products which are subject to this Agreement to sell the same to Customer. Customer acknowledges that Supplier makes no warranties, conditions, representations or guarantees, express or implied, concerning Products. Supplier in so far as it is possible hereby assigns to Customer the producer’s or manufacturer’s warranty(s), if any, applicable to the Products. To the extent permitted by law, Supplier makes no representations regarding the validity or enforceability of any such producer’s or manufacturer’s warranty and Customer understands that its sole remedy for any breach of warranty is such as may exist against the producer or manufacturer under the producer’s or manufacturer’s warranty.
(f) Warranty Limitation. The conditions and warranties set forth in this Agreement do not apply to the extent that non-compliance is caused by, or has resulted from, (i) Customer’s use of the Subscription Services other than as authorized in this Agreement; (ii) use of the Subscription Services in combination with other software, data or products that are defective, incompatible with, or not authorized in writing by Supplier for use with the Subscription Services; (iii) any malfunction of Customer’s hardware, computers, computer-related equipment or network connections; and (iv) any modification of the Subscription Services not performed by Supplier or otherwise authorized by Supplier in writing.
(g) Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 17 AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES, THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, IF ANY, AND THE PRODUCTS, IF ANY, ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS,” AND SUPPLIER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY AND CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR THE USE OF REASONABLE SKILL AND CARE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, SUPPLIER MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, THE USE OF REASONABLE SKILL AND CARE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, ACCURACY, FREEDOM FROM ERROR OR THAT THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES, THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, IF ANY, AND THE PRODUCTS, IF ANY, WILL MEET ALL OF CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS. SUPPLIER MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEES OR CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE, HARDWARE OR SERVICES PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES. SUPPLIER’S LIMITED WARRANTIES DO NOT APPLY TO ANY SOFTWARE WHICH HAS BEEN MODIFIED OR ALTERED IN ANY MANNER BY ANYONE OTHER THAN SUPPLIER OR ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN OR ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEES OR CONDITIONS, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO CUSTOMER. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, GUARANTEES OR CONDITIONS ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD TO THE EXTENT LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts, or modifies any right or remedy, or any guarantee, representation, warranty, condition or other term, implied or imposed by any applicable law which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. This may include any consumer law which contains guarantees that protect the purchasers of goods and services in certain circumstances. If any guarantee, representation, warranty, condition or other term is implied or imposed concerning this Agreement under any consumer law or any other applicable law and cannot be excluded (a “Non-Excludable Provision”), and Supplier is able to limit Customer’s remedy for a breach of the Non-Excludable Provision, then the liability of Supplier for breach of the Non-Excludable Provision is limited to one or more of the following, at Supplier’s option: (a) in the case of goods, the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods, the repair of the goods, the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods, or the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired; or (b) in the case of services, the supplying of the Subscription Services again, or the payment of the cost of having the Subscription Services supplied again. Customer may make such a guarantee claim by contacting the Licensor at the contact details set forth in the Order Form.
The parties agree that it is Customer’s responsibility to determine whether the Subscription Services are suitable for Customer’s requirements. No other terms, conditions, representations, warranties or guarantees, whether written or oral, express or implied, will form a part of this Agreement or have any legal effect whatsoever.
18. Limitation of Liability
EXCEPT FOR LIABILITY ARISING (I) FROM CUSTOMER’S BREACH OF SECTION 2 (RESTRICTIONS), (II) UNDER SECTION 16 (INDEMNIFICATION) OR (III) FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, (IV) FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION:
(A) TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SUPPLIER’S ENTIRE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES, THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, IF ANY, AND THE PRODUCTS, IF ANY, OR ANY RELATED ITEMS WILL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT DAMAGES IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER TO SUPPLIER PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE FIRST EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; AND
(B) NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR:
(I) ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES, THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, IF ANY, AND THE PRODUCTS, IF ANY, OR ANY RELATED ITEMS; OR
(II) ANY LOSS OF REVENUE, PROFITS, GOODWILL OR DATA, OR DATA USE (INCLUDING AS A RESULT OF A VIRUS), BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, FAILURE TO REALIZE AN EXPECTED SAVING, CORRUPTION OF DATA, OR CLAIMS AGAINST THEM BY ANY THIRD PARTY,
EVEN IF THE PARTIES ARE ADVISED, OR MAY REASONABLY SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN AWARE, OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE.
SUCH LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY REGARDLESS OF HOW THE CLAIM ARISES, WHETHER ARISING BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE AND WILL APPLY TO ALL ORDER FORMS, SCHEDULES, ADDENDA, AGREEMENTS AND ATTACHMENTS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.
THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN SUPPLIER AND CUSTOMER AND FORM A MATERIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. SUPPLIER’S PRICING REFLECTS THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK AND THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SPECIFIED HEREIN.
19. Term and Termination
(a) Term of Agreement. This Agreement commences on the Effective Date or on the date that access to the Subscription Services is made available to Customer, whichever is sooner, and continues until all subscriptions hereunder have expired or have been terminated.
(b) 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 (1) year (whichever is shorter), unless either party gives the other notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the relevant subscription term.
(c) Termination by Customer. Customer has the right to terminate this Agreement if Supplier is in default of any term or condition herein, and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such default or if Supplier becomes insolvent or any proceedings are to be commenced by or against Supplier under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.
(d) Termination by Supplier. Subject to Section 19(e) (Failure to Pay Fees), Supplier has the right to terminate this Agreement if Customer is in default of any term or condition of this Agreement, and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such default. Without limitation, it will be deemed a Customer default under this Agreement if Customer fails to pay any amount when due hereunder. Supplier may terminate this Agreement immediately if: (i) Customer breaches Section 2 (Restrictions) or Section 15(a) (Customer Data); (ii) Customer becomes insolvent, a receiver, administrator, controller or a liquidator is appointed to Customer, Customer assigns any of its property for the benefit of creditors or any class of them or any proceedings have been commenced by or against Customer under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws; or (iii) if Customer develops software or services that is competitive with the Subscription Services or Customer is acquired by or acquires an interest in a competitor of Supplier.
(e) Failure to Pay Fees. In the event that Customer fails to pay the applicable fees when due, Supplier reserves the right to elect to take one of the following courses of action (without limiting Supplier’s other available remedies): (i) notify Customer that this Agreement will immediately expire (or has expired) effective as of the expiration of the then-current period; or (ii) allow this Agreement to renew for another renewal period, in which event, the applicable fees for such renewal period will continue to be payable; provided, however, that if Supplier does not affirmatively notify Customer that alternative (i) or (ii) has been selected, then alternative (ii) will apply.
(f) Early Termination. Customer understands that Supplier has undertaken significant implementation and investment costs which are intended to be amortized over any initial term indicated on the Order Form (“Initial Term”). In consideration of the costs and the pricing structure acknowledged and accepted in the Order Form, Customer agrees to pay liquidated damages if Customer elects early termination during such Initial Term (other than pursuant to Section 19(c)). The liquidated damages for such early termination will be the value of the fees for the remainder of the Initial Term, along with any outstanding fees for additional modules and services ordered but not yet paid for by Customer since the date of this Agreement. These liquidated damages are due and payable in a lump sum on the date of termination of the Agreement. Customer acknowledges that the actual damages likely to result from a breach of the Initial Term by Customer are difficult to ascertain and that the foregoing liquidated damages are intended to represent estimated actual damages and are not intended as a penalty.
(g) Data Portability and Deletion. Upon request by Customer made within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, Supplier will make the Customer Data available to Customer for export or download. After such thirty (30) day period, Customer acknowledges that Supplier will have no obligation to maintain or provide Customer Data. Where Customer is subject to EU data protection laws and a Data Processor Addendum applies, the Data Processor Addendum will govern with respect to the data portability and deletion of Customer Data that is Personal Data (as such term is defined in the Data Processor Addendum).
(h) Surviving Provisions. Following the termination of this Agreement, the Sections titled “Payment Terms,” “Taxes,” “Ownership,” “Customer Input,” “Confidentiality,” “Data,” “Indemnification,” “Warranties & Warranty Disclaimer,” “Limitation of Liability,” “Term and Termination,” “Assignment,” “Dispute Resolution,” “Governing Law” and “General Provisions” will continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
20. Assignment
Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, either party may assign this Agreement in its entirety (including all schedules and Order Forms), without the other party’s consent in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. In the case of Customer, the following requirements shall exist: (i) Customer must be current with any and all payment due to Supplier hereunder and (ii) Customer shall execute and cause its permitted assignee to execute assignment documents in a form provided by or acceptable to Supplier. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party is acquired by, sells substantially all of its assets to, or undergoes change of control in favor of, a direct competitor of the other party, then such other party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice. Any purported assignment in violation of this section shall be void and of no effect. Any permitted assignee shall assume all assigned obligations of its assignor under the Agreement.
21. Governing Law
The law that will apply to any question of interpretation regarding this Agreement, any question of the existence of this Agreement, or a lawsuit arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, and which courts have jurisdiction over any such lawsuit, depend on the country of incorporation, or organization, as applicable, of Customer, and will be determined as follows:

Customer shall select an arbitrator from a list of three (3) arbitrators to be provided by Supplier to Customer, each of which shall be skilled in the legal and business aspects of the software industry. The parties agree that the arbitrator’s fee shall be split equally between the parties and that each party shall be responsible for its costs, legal and otherwise, in relation to the arbitration, unless the arbitrator decides that the circumstances justify an award of costs.

23. General Provisions
(a) Export Compliance: The Subscription Services and derivatives thereof may be subject to export laws and regulations. Each party represents that it is not named on any U.S. government denied-party list. Customer shall not permit access or use of the Subscription Services in a U.S.-embargoed country (currently Crimea-Region of Ukraine, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria), EU-embargoed country, and United Nations-embargoed country or in violation of any other applicable embargo, export law or regulation.
(b) Anti-Corruption: Customer has not received or been offered any illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift, or thing of value from any of Supplier’s employees or agents in connection with this Agreement. Reasonable gifts and entertainment provided in the ordinary course of business do not violate the above restriction. If Customer learns of any violation of the above restriction, Customer will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Supplier.
(c) Modifications: This Agreement may not be modified except in writing signed by both parties.
(d) Subcontractors: Supplier reserves the right to make use of subcontractors to provide services and to use such means as Supplier, in its sole discretion, considers appropriate. Supplier’s use of subcontractors shall not relieve it of its obligations under this Agreement.
(e) Independent Contractor: The relationship of the parties established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors. This Agreement does not establish an agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between Supplier and Customer. Supplier and its personnel, agents, Suppliers, and Supplier’s authorized representatives, are acting as independent contractors and not as employees or agents of Customer. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to permit either party to bind the other or to enter into obligations on behalf of the other party.
(f) Non-Solicitation: During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year following the termination of this Agreement, each party hereto agrees not to solicit, recruit or employ any employee of the other party without the prior written consent of the Chief Executive Officer, President or Director of the other party. For purposes of this section, the terms “employee,” shall include any person with such status at any time during the six (6) months preceding any solicitation in question. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing restriction shall not apply to the following forms of solicitation (and resulting employment): (i) a party using general bona fide solicitations directed at the public or industry participation in general in publications or internet resources not specifically targeted at employees of the other party, or employing any person who responds to such solicitations; (ii) using search firms, or hiring any persons solicited by such search firms, so long as such firms are not advised by a party to solicit employees of the other party; or (iii) soliciting any person who has left the employment of the other party prior to the date of this Agreement.
(g) Force Majeure. Neither party shall be in breach of this Agreement nor liable for delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under this Agreement if such delay or failure result from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control provided that the party affected by such failure or delay gives the other party prompt written notice of the cause and uses commercially reasonable efforts to correct such failure or delay within a reasonable period of time.
(h) Severability: If any provision contained herein or part thereof is determined to be void or unenforceable in whole or in part by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalid provision or part thereof shall be deemed not to affect or impair the validity or enforceability of any other provision or part thereof contained herein, all of which remaining provisions or parts thereof shall be and remain in full force and effect.
(i) Headings: The headings and subheadings contained herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way be construed to be interpretations of terms.
(j) Notices: All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given upon: (i) personal delivery; (ii) the third business day after being sent by pre-paid recorded post; or (iii) the second business day after sending by facsimile with telephonic confirmation of receipt. Notices to Supplier shall be sent to the address shown in the introductory paragraph of this Agreement addressed to Supplier’s signatory of this Agreement. Notices to Customer shall be sent to the address shown in the introductory paragraph of this Agreement addressed to Customer’s signatory of this Agreement. Each party may modify its recipient of notices by providing notice pursuant to this Agreement.
(k) Waiver: No delay by either party in enforcing any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement will affect or restrict such party’s rights and powers arising under this Agreement. No waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement will be effective unless made in writing. The waiver by any party of a breach of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of a repeat of the same breach or of other breach of rights or obligations under this Agreement.
(l) Third party rights: A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall not have any rights to enforce any term of this Agreement.
(m) Entire Agreement: This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all proposals, oral and written, and all previous negotiations and communications between the parties and their representatives with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. For greater certainty, this Agreement will prevail over terms and conditions of any Customer-issued purchase order, which will have no force and effect, even if Supplier accepts or does not otherwise reject the purchase order. Each party acknowledges that, in entering into this Agreement, it does not rely on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether it was made negligently or innocently) of any person (whether a party to this Agreement or not) other than as expressly set out in this Agreement.
(n) Counterparts: This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which together shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a Portable Document Format (PDF), such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
