- except as may be permitted by and subject to its compliance with Section 8.4, not disclose or permit access to Confidential Information other than to its Representatives who: (i) need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of the Receiving Party’s exercise of its rights or performance of its obligations under and in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) have been informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and the Receiving Party’s obligations under Section 8.1 and (iii) are bound by confidentiality and restricted use obligations at least as protective of the Confidential Information as the terms set forth in this Section 8;

- promptly notify the Disclosing Party of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information and use its best efforts and cooperate with the Disclosing Party to prevent further unauthorized use or disclosure;
- ensure its Representatives’ compliance with, and be responsible and liable for any of its Representatives’ non-compliance with, the terms of this Section 8; and
- Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Section 8 with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret under any applicable Law will continue until such time, if ever, as such Confidential Information ceases to qualify for trade secret protection under one or more such applicable Laws other than as a result of any act or omission of the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives.
8.4 Compelled Disclosures
If the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives are compelled by applicable Law to disclose any Confidential Information then, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Receiving Party shall: (a) promptly, and prior to such disclosure, notify the Disclosing Party in writing of such requirement so that the Disclosing Party can seek a protective order or other remedy or waive its rights under Section 8.3 and (b) provide reasonable assistance to the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in opposing such disclosure or seeking a protective order or other limitations on disclosure. If the Disclosing Party waives compliance or, after providing the notice and assistance required under this Section 8.4, the Receiving Party remains required by Law to disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that it is legally required to disclose.
8.5 Retention Policies
The Agreement does not require a Receiving Party to return or destroy any such portions of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that constitute electronic data that is generally inaccessible or that has been stored on the Receiving Party’s backup systems in the ordinary course of business as part of standard backup procedures, but only to the extent that such Confidential Information is only accessible by person(s) whose function is primarily information technology, and provided that such person(s) only have limited access to such Confidential Information to enable the performance of such information technology duties. In addition, the Receiving Party may retain copies of any such Confidential Information as is necessary to comply with applicable audit, legal or regulatory requirements, professional obligations and standards and internal document retention policies, provided any such Confidential Information may only be accessed for such purposes and may not be used for any other purpose whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any production or commercial purpose).

Sayari will, at its expense, either defend Customer from or settle any claim, demand, suit or proceeding brought by a third party (“Claim”) against Customer alleging that Customer’s use of the Products in accordance with this Agreement infringes or misappropriates such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights. Sayari 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 court-approved settlement of, a Claim, provided Customer (a) promptly give Sayari written notice of the Claim, (b) gives Sayari sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (except that Sayari may not settle any Claim against Customer unless it unconditionally releases Customer of all liability), and (c) gives Sayari all reasonable assistance, at Sayari’s expense. If Sayari receives information about an infringement or misappropriation claim related to the Products or Services, Sayari may in its discretion and at no cost to Customer (i) modify the applicable Product or Service so that it no longer infringes or misappropriates, without breaching the warranties under this Agreement, or (ii) obtain a license for Customer’s continued use of that Product or Service in accordance with this Agreement, and if neither (i) or (ii) is commercially reasonable, (iii) terminate Customer’s subscriptions for that Product or Service upon thirty (30) days’ written notice and refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of the terminated subscriptions. Sayari’s defense and indemnity obligations will not apply to the extent any infringement or misappropriation arises as a result of: (i) use of Customer Data or Customer Systems; (ii) Third-Party Materials; (iii) the combination, operation or use of the Products with software or systems not provided by Sayari where use of the Products provided hereunder by themselves would not be infringing; (iv) Customer’s breach of this Agreement, or (v) Customer’s negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct.
10.2 Indemnification by Customer
Customer will defend Sayari against any Claim brought against Sayari by a third party alleging that Customer Data, or Customer’s use of any Services, Products or Deliverables in breach of this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights, and will indemnify Sayari from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Sayari as a result of, or for any amounts paid by Sayari under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim against Sayari, provided Sayari (a) promptly gives Customer written notice of the Claim, (b) gives Customer sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (except that Customer may not settle any Claim against Sayari unless it unconditionally releases Sayari of all liability), and (c) gives Customer all reasonable assistance, at Customer’s expense. The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply to the extent a Claim against Sayari arises from: (i) Sayari’s breach of this Agreement, or (ii) Sayari’s negligence, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.
10.3 Exclusive Remedy
A Party’s defense and indemnification obligations described in this Section are the indemnitor’s sole liability to, and the indemnitee’s exclusive remedy against, the other Party for a third-party Claim set forth in this Section.
Section 11: LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
11.1 Limitation of Liability
EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 10 AND CUSTOMER’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 6, NEITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SINGLE INCIDENT OR SERIES OF RELATED INCIDENTS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER HEREUNDER IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE INCIDENT OR SERIES OF RELATED INCIDENTS; PROVIDED THAT IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER HEREUNDER.

Section 12: DISPUTES
12.1 Informal Dispute Resolution
If a dispute arises between the Parties, then the Parties will use reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute through negotiation. If such negotiations result in an agreement in principle to settle the dispute Parties shall cause a written settlement agreement to be prepared, signed and dated, whereupon the dispute shall be deemed settled, and not subject to further dispute resolution.
12.2 Unresolved Disputes; Waiver of Jury Trial
Upon the Parties’ mutual written agreement, any dispute under this Agreement may be submitted for resolution to mediation to occur at a mutually agreed upon location. The Parties reserve all rights to adjudicate any dispute not submitted to mediation hereunder, in any court of competent jurisdiction located in New Castle County, State of Delaware, USA; provided, however, that each Party hereby waives the right to a trial by jury in any such action.
12.3 Exception for Injunctive Relief
The Parties acknowledge that any breach of the confidentiality provisions herein or the unauthorized use of a Party’s intellectual property may result in serious and irreparable injury to the aggrieved Party for which damages may not adequately compensate the aggrieved Party. The Parties agree, therefore, that, in addition to the dispute resolution process described above and any other remedy that the aggrieved Party may have, it shall be entitled to seek equitable injunctive relief without being required to post a bond or other surety or to prove either actual damages or that damages would be an inadequate remedy.
Section 13: MISCELLANEOUS

(a) No Breach or Default. In no event will a Party be liable to the other Party, or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (except for any obligation to make payments), when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond a Party’s reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”), including acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake or explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the Effective Date, national or regional emergency, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, passage of Law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an export or import restriction, quota, or other restriction or prohibition, or any complete or partial government shutdown, or national or regional shortage of adequate power or telecommunications or transportation.

(b) Affected Party Obligations. In the event of any failure or delay caused by a Force Majeure Event, the affected Party will give prompt written notice to the other Party stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue and use commercially reasonable efforts to end the failure or delay and minimize the effects of such Force Majeure Event.
13.3 Independent Contractors
Each Party is an independent contractor and not a partner or agent of the other. This Agreement will not be interpreted or construed as creating or evidencing any partnership or agency between the Parties or as imposing any partnership or agency obligations or liability upon either Party.

Any other attempted assignment shall be void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be fully binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, any permitted assignee.
13.5 Applicable Law
This Agreement will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any conflicts-of-law provisions or choice of law provisions of the State of Delaware or of any other jurisdiction which provisions (if applied) would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction other than of the State of Delaware. The sole and exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue for any legal proceedings in connection with this Agreement shall be in the federal court in the U.S. District of Delaware and state court in New Castle County, Delaware. The Parties waive any objections related to such jurisdictions and venues. The 1980 UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods or its successor will not apply to this Agreement.

This Agreement, including any attachments and exhibits, constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of all mutual understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior or contemporaneous proposals, communications and understandings, oral or written. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following, the order of precedence shall be: (i) the Order Form; (ii) this Master Subscription and Services Agreement; and (iii) the Documentation. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless it exists in writing and is signed by the Party against whom the modification, amendment or waiver is to be asserted.
