(b) except as may be permitted by and subject to its compliance with Section 9.4, 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 9.1 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 9;

(c) safeguard the Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure using at least the degree of care it uses to protect its similarly sensitive information and in no event less than a reasonable degree of care;

(d) 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;

(e) ensure its Representatives’ compliance with, and be responsible and liable for any of its Representatives’ non-compliance with, the terms of this Section 9; and

(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Section 9 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.

9.4 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 9.3 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 9.4, 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.

9.5 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 one (1) copy 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).

(a) ANY EXPRESS WARRANTIES AS MAY BE SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT ARE THE ONLY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONCERNING THE PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND DELIVERABLES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY FORTH HEREIN, THE SAYARI PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND DELIVERABLES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS AND SAYARI EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, COMPLETENESS, RESULTS, AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT (SUCH WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO DELIVERABLES ONLY), MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EVEN IF SAYARI HAS BEEN INFORMED OF SUCH PURPOSE, OR ANY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING, OR USAGE OF TRADE.

NO REPRESENTATIVE OF SAYARI IS AUTHORIZED TO ALTER OR EXCEED THE WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS OF SAYARI AS SET FORTH HEREIN. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION 10.6 ARE A MATERIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND SAYARI WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT BUT FOR SUCH DISCLAIMERS.

Section 11. INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 IP Indemnification by Sayari.

(a) 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 United States patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret Intellectual Property Rights.

(b) Sayari will indemnify Customer from and pay: (i) all damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees finally awarded against Customer in a Claim under Section 11.1(a), (ii) all out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by Customer in connection with the defense of a Claim under Section 11.1(a) (other than attorneys’ fees and costs incurred without Sayari’s consent after Sayari has accepted defense of the Claim); and (iii) all amounts that Sayari agrees to pay to any third party to settle a Claim under Section 11.1(a). Further, should the Products become, or in Sayari’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement or misappropriation Sayari may, at its option and expense: (i) obtain a license to permit Customer to continue using the Products or Deliverable according to the terms of this Agreement; (ii) modify or replace the relevant portion(s) of the Products with a non-infringing or non-misappropriating alternative having substantially equivalent performance within a reasonable period of time; or (iii) terminate this Agreement by providing notice to Customer, and provide Customer with a refund of any pre-paid fees for the Products on a pro rata basis for the remaining Term.

(c) Sayari’s indemnity obligation will not apply to the extent any infringement or misappropriation arises as a result of: (i) use of Customer Data in connection with any of the Products or Deliverables; (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) any modification of the Products or Deliverables by any party other than Sayari; or (v) any failure of Customer to comply with this Agreement or other unauthorized or improper use of the Products or Deliverables.

11.2 Indemnification by Customer.

(a) Customer will, at its expense, either defend Sayari and its Representatives from or settle any Claim brought by a third party against Sayari and/or its Representatives caused by or arising out of: (i) Customer Data, including Sayari’s use of Customer Data in accordance with this Agreement; (ii) Customer’s breach of Section 2.6 above (Restrictions); (iii) Customer’s use of the Platform or Deliverables in violation of this Agreement; (iv) Customer’s violation of any terms and conditions related to and/or governing use of any Third Party Materials; or (v) Customer’s violation of applicable Law.

(b) Customer will indemnify Sayari and its Representatives from and pay: (i) all damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees finally awarded against Sayari and its Representatives in a Claim under Section 11.2(a); (ii) all out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by Sayari and its Representatives in connection with the defense of a Claim under Section 11.2(a) (other than attorneys’ fees and costs incurred without Customer’s consent after Customer has accepted defense of the Claim); and (iii) all amounts that Customer agrees to pay to any third party to settle a Claim under Section 11.2(a).

11.3 Indemnification Process. The indemnified Party (“Indemnitee”) will promptly notify the indemnifying Party (“Indemnitor”) of any claim subject to this Section 11, but the Indemnitee’s failure to promptly notify the Indemnitor will only affect the Indemnitor’s obligations under this Section to the extent that such failure prejudices the Indemnitor’s ability to defend the Claim. The Indemnitor may: (a) use counsel of its own choosing to defend against any Claim; and (b) settle the Claim as the Indemnitor deems appropriate (except that the Indemnitor may not settle any Claim unless the settlement unconditionally releases the Indemnitee of all liability related to the Claim). The Indemnitee shall provide the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitor’s expense, with all assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the Claim. If the Indemnitor fails or refuses to assume control of the defense of the Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend against such Claim, including settling the Claim after giving notice to the Indemnitor, in each case in such manner and on such terms as the Indemnitee may deem appropriate.

11.4 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 12. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

12.1 Exclusions of Liability. EXCEPT FOR EITHER PARTY’S BREACH OF SECTION 9 (CONFIDENTIALITY) OR VIOLATION OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, OR A PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 11 (INDEMNIFICATION) OR CUSTOMER’S BREACH OF SECTION 2.6 (RESTRICTIONS), IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, REMOTE, SPECULATIVE, COVER, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, (INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS OR PROFITS) REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY OR WHETHER THE LIABLE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THESE TYPES OF DAMAGES.

12.2 General Limitation. EXCEPT FOR EITHER PARTY’S BREACH OF SECTION 9 (CONFIDENTIALITY) OR VIOLATION OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, OR A PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 11 (INDEMNIFICATION) OR CUSTOMER’S BREACH OF SECTION 2.6 (RESTRICTIONS), IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR AGGREGATE DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER TO SAYARI UNDER THE ORDER FORM DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH THE APPLICABLE CLAIM AROSE, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF THE DAMAGE OR THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, OR WHETHER THE LIABLE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

12.3 By Amount for Certain Matters. EACH PARTY’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 9 (CONFIDENTIALITY) SHALL NOT EXCEED USD ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000).

No limitation of liability in this Agreement, whether through the exclusion of certain types of damages, a cap on the amount of damages, or other limitation, applies to (i) either Party’s liability for violation of the other Party’s Intellectual Property Rights, gross negligence, intentional misconduct, death or personal injury, or (ii) Customer’s liability for damages or losses resulting from its breach of any usage restrictions under the Agreement or Order Form.

12.5 Allocation of Risk. The Parties agree that the limitations specified in this Section 12 will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Each Party acknowledges that the foregoing limitations are an essential element of this Agreement and a reasonable allocation of risk between the Parties and that in the absence of such limitations the pricing and other terms set forth in this Agreement would be substantially different.

Section 13. DISPUTES

13.1 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.

13.2 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 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.

13.3 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 14. MISCELLANEOUS

Customer may request that Sayari cease or modify any use of Customer’s name or logo by providing notice to Sayari.

(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.

Either Party may assign, without such consent but upon written notice, its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any entity that acquires all or substantially all of its capital stock or its assets related to this Agreement, through purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise. 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.

14.7 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.

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. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to Law, the provision will be deemed null and void, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect.
