ii. If such a claim is made or appears possible, Customer agrees to permit Provider, at Provider’s sole discretion, to (A) modify or replace the Licensed Software or Subscription Services (as applicable), or component or part thereof, to make it non-infringing, or (B) obtain the right for Customer to continue use. If Provider determines that neither alternative is reasonably available, Provider may terminate this Agreement, in its entirety or with respect to the affected component or part, effective immediately on written notice to Customer.

 

iii.    This Section 10 will not apply to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from: (A) use of the Services in combination with any data, software, hardware, equipment, network, system, or technology not provided by Provider or authorized by Provider in writing; (B) modifications or alterations to the Licensed Software or Subscription Services (as applicable) not made by Provider; (C) Customer’s continued use of the Licensed Software or Subscription Services (as applicable) after Provider notifies Customer to discontinue use because of an infringement claim; or (D) Customer Data.

THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF PROVIDER WITH RESPECT TO THE INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS BY THE LICENSED SOFTWARE, SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES OR OTHERWISE, AND CUSTOMER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY OTHER LIABILITIES OR OBLIGATIONS OF PROVIDER WITH RESPECT THERETO.

 

(b) Customer Indemnification. Customer shall indemnify, hold harmless, and, at Provider’s option, defend Provider, Provider’s officers, directors, employees and agents (each, a “Provider Indemnitee”) from and against all claims, losses, expenses, costs (including legal fees), damages, losses arising from any breach by Customer or any User of Sections 2, 4, 13(j) or the DPA.

11. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.

(a) IN NO EVENT WILL PROVIDER OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, SUPPLIERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO THE CUSTOMER OR ITS AFFLIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS OR LICENSORS UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, AND OTHERWISE, FOR ANY: (i) CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, ENHANCED, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; (ii) INCREASED COSTS, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR LOST BUSINESS, PRODUCTION, REVENUES, OR PROFITS; (iii) LOSS OF GOODWILL OR REPUTATION; (iv) USE, INABILITY TO USE, LOSS, INTERRUPTION, DELAY OR RECOVERY OF ANY DATA, OR BREACH OF DATA OR SYSTEM SECURITY; OR (v) COST OF REPLACEMENT GOODS OR SERVICES, IN EACH CASE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER PROVIDER WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES OR SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES WERE OTHERWISE FORESEEABLE.

(b) IN NO EVENT WILL PROVIDER’S OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, SUPPLIERS, OR LICENSORS’ TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES, THE WORK PRODUCT, DELIVERABLES OR ANY OTHER MATERIALS PROVIDED TO CUSTOMER HEREUNDERR, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY (UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, INCLUDING INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED AT ANY POINT IN TIME THE AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER TO PROVIDER IN THE PRIOR TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD UNDER THE APPLICABLE ORDER FORM GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

(c) CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE TERMS IN THIS SECTION 11 (LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY) SHALL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND SHALL APPLY EVEN IF AN EXCLUSIVE OR LIMITED REMEDY STATED HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION 11 IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND LIMIT POTENTIAL LIABILITY GIVEN THE FEES, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER IF PROVIDER WERE TO ASSUME ANY FURTHER LIABILITY OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH HEREIN. PROVIDER HAS RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO PROVIDE CUSTOMER WITH THE RIGHTS TO ACCESS AND USE THE SERVICES IN THIS AGREEMENT. THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN WILL APPLY IN AGGREGATE AND SHALL NOT BE CUMULATIVE.

(d) Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages or for personal injury or death, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply. IN THESE JURISDICTIONS, THE PARTIES’ LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Any claims or damages that Customer may have against Provider shall only be enforceable against Provider and not any other entity or its officers, directors, representatives or agents.

12. TERM AND TERMINATION.

(a) Initial Term and Renewal. The initial Term of each License or Subscription shall be twelve
(12) months from the Effective Date, unless otherwise stated on the applicable Order Form (“Initial Term”). At the end of the initial Term, the License or Subscription shall automatically renew for periods (each a “Renewal Term”) equal to the Initial Term, unless either Customer or Provider has served written notice on the other not less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current Term. Unless otherwise provided for in any Order, Provider has the right to automatically increase the Fees applicable to Customer’s License or Subscription for any such Renewal Term at Provider’s then-current rates. If Provider determines, in its reasonable discretion, that material product or feature enhancements to the Licensed Software or Services require an increase in Fees for a Renewal Term, Provider will first obtain Customer’s prior written consent before applying such increase before such Renewal Term.

 

(b) Termination. In addition to any other express termination right set forth in this Agreement:
 
i.  Provider may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to Customer, if Customer: (A) fails to pay any amount when due hereunder, and such failure continues more than thirty (30) days after Provider’s delivery of written notice thereof; or (B) breaches any of its obligations under Section 2(b) or Section 6;

 

ii. either Party may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to the other Party, if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement, and such breach: (A) is incapable of cure; or (B) being capable of cure, remains uncured thirty (30) days after the non- breaching Party provides the breaching Party with written notice of such breach;

 

iii.    either Party may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice to the other Party, if the other Party: (A) files or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or otherwise becomes subject, voluntarily or involuntarily, to any proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency law; (B) makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (C) applies for or has appointed a receiver, trustee, custodian, or similar agent appointed by order of any court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of or sell any material portion of its property or business; or

 

(c) Effect of Expiration or Termination. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, termination of this Agreement will terminate each of the Order Forms and other Service Addenda, even if the Order Form or other Service Addenda specifies an expiration date after the effective termination date of this Agreement. No expiration or termination will affect Customer’s obligation to pay all Fees that may have become due before such expiration or termination, or entitle Customer to any refund except as expressly provided herein. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Customer shall immediately discontinue use of the Provider IP and, without limiting Customer’s obligations under Section 6, Customer shall delete, destroy, or return all copies of the Provider IP and certify in writing to the Provider that the Provider IP has been deleted or destroyed.

 

(d) Exporting Customer Data. During the Term and up to expiration or termination of this Agreement, Customer will have the ability to export or download Customer’s Data. After such expiration or termination, Provider will have no obligation to maintain or provide any of Customer’s Data, and Provider will, unless prohibited by law or legal order, delete Customer’s Data in the Services in accordance with Provider’s then-current deletion policy without notice or liability to Customer.

 

(e) Survival. Provisions herein which by their context and content are intended to survive termination or expiration shall so survive including Sections 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13 survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. No other provisions of this Agreement survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement shall not limit either Party’s liability for obligations accrued as of or prior to such termination for breach of this Agreement.

13. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any other documents incorporated herein by reference and all related schedules and exhibits, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, and representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. If there is a conflict between the terms of this Main Services Agreement and the terms of any of its attachments, then this Main Services Agreement will prevail unless the conflicting attachment explicitly specifies the attachment to prevail in case of such a conflict.
 
(b) By placing an Order with Provider, Customer agrees that the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to and govern that Order. Except with respect to product, services and pricing applicable to an Order, additional or conflicting terms in any Order shall have no force or effect on either party, unless that Order is signed in hardcopy form by each party, and then those terms shall apply to the parties solely for that Order. Except as otherwise specified herein, any additional or conflicting terms contained in any other document (including, without limitation, any preprinted, additional or conflicting terms on any Customer purchase order, or acknowledgement from either party) shall be null, void and of no effect on either party. If there is a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Order Form, the terms of the Order Form shall take precedence. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder (each, a “Notice”) must be in writing and delivered by personal delivery, via a internationally recognized overnight courier (with all fees pre-paid), or certified or registered mail (in each case, return receipt requested, postage pre-paid). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Notice is effective only:
 
(i) upon receipt by the receiving Party; and (ii) if the Party giving the Notice has complied with the requirements of this Section. All notices to be provided by Provider to Customer under this Agreement may be delivered in writing by electronic mail to the electronic mail address provided by Customer on the applicable Order and/or Statement of Work. All notices shall be deemed to have been given immediately upon delivery by electronic mail, or if otherwise delivered upon the earlier of receipt or two (2) business days after being deposited in the mail or with a Courier as permitted above.

(c) Force Majeure. In no event shall Provider be liable to Customer, or be deemed to have breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement, if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond Provider’s reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, epidemic or pandemic, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, or passage of law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo. Provider shall notify Customer of such force majeure within ten (10) days after such occurrence by giving written notice to Customer stating the nature of the event, its anticipated duration, and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect. The suspension of performance shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is necessary and Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy its inability to perform.

(d) Amendment and Modification; Waiver. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement is effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each Party. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (i) no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver thereof and (ii) no single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.

(e) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect their original intent as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

(f) Limitation of Claims. No claim or action, regardless of the form, which in any way arises out of or in connection with this Agreement may be made or brought by or on behalf of Customer or its Affiliates more than one (1) year following the earlier of (a) the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement and (b) the date that Customer first has knowledge of the events giving rise to such claim or action.

(g) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of law principles, and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Delaware. The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply in any respect to this Agreement or the parties.

(h) Assignment. Customer may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by merger, sale of assets, operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Provider, which consent may be conditioned on Customer paying any remaining payments due hereunder in full. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section will be null and void. No assignment or delegation will relieve the assigning or delegating Party of any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. In the event that Customer or its business using the Subscription Services or Licensed Software is acquired by a third party that is also a customer of Provider, Customer shall continue to pay the Fees in accordance with this Agreement and any applicable Order Form and other Service Addenda unless the Parties mutually agree in writing otherwise, even if the other customer may have more favorable terms than those offered to Customer hereunder.

(i) Relationship of the Parties. The Parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between the Parties. Nothing herein shall prevent either Party from entering into any further agreements or business relationships, nor prevent either Party from conducting similar business with others as long as such Party observes its obligations under this Agreement.

(k) Equitable Relief. Customer acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement would cause Provider irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, Provider will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise.

(l) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of which together are deemed to be one and the same agreement.

Provider may disclose the terms of this Agreement to prospective investors and prospective acquirors of Provider’s business, assets or stock solely for such purposes provided that any such investor or acquirer is subject to a written confidentiality agreement.

(p) Non-Solicitation of Employees. Customer agrees that, during the Term of this Agreement, and for a period of one (1) year following the Term, it will not employ, solicit for or offer employment, or enter into any contract for services with the employees, agents or representatives of Provider without Provider’s prior written consent; provided, however, that the foregoing prohibition shall not preclude the hiring by Customer of any individual who responds to a general solicitation or advertisement, whether in print or electronic form, on job postings and social networking sites. In the event that any of Provider’s employees, agents or representatives are employed by or enter into a contract for services (whether as an employee or a Contractor) with Customer or any Affiliate of Customer in breach of the foregoing sentence, Customer shall, upon demand, pay to Provider a sum equal to six months’ basic salary or the fee that was payable by Provider to that employee, agent or representative plus the recruitment costs incurred by Provider in replacing such person by way of compensation for the cost and inconvenience incurred by Provider.
