B. Maintenance of Confidential Information. Each party agrees to keep confidential all confidential information disclosed to it by the other party in accordance herewith, and to protect the confidentiality thereof in the same manner it protects the confidentiality of similar information and data of its own (at all times exercising at least a reasonable degree of care in the protection of confidential information); provided, however, that neither party shall have any such obligation with respect to use of disclosure to others not parties to this Agreement of such confidential information as can be established to: (1) have been known publicly; (2) have been known generally in the industry before communication by the disclosing party to the recipient; (3) have become known publicly, without fault on the part of the recipient, subsequent to disclosure by the disclosing party; (4) have been known otherwise by the recipient before communication by the disclosing party; or (5) have been received by the recipient without any obligation of confidentiality from a source (other than the disclosing party) lawfully having possession of such information.

C. Injunctive Relief. LICENSEE acknowledges that the unauthorized use, transfer or disclosure of the Software and Documentation or copies thereof will: (1) substantially diminish the value to LICENSOR of the trade secrets and other proprietary interests that are the subject of this Agreement; (2) render LICENSOR’s remedy at law for such unauthorized use, disclosure or transfer inadequate; and (3) cause irreparable injury in a short period of time. If LICENSEE breaches any of its obligations with respect to the use or confidentiality of the Software or Documentation, LICENSOR shall be entitled to equitable relief to protect its interests therein, including, but not limited to, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief.

D. Survival. LICENSEE’s obligations under this Section will survive the termination of this Agreement or of any license granted under this Agreement for whatever reason.

11. WARRANTIES; SUPERIOR RIGHTS

A. Ownership. Except for any rights as set forth herein, LICENSOR represents its belief that it is the owner of the entire right, title, and interest in and to Software, that it has the sole right to grant licenses thereunder, and that it has not knowingly granted licenses thereunder to any other entity that would restrict rights granted hereunder except as stated herein.

B. Limited Warranty. LICENSOR represents and warrants to LICENSEE that the Software, when properly used by LICENSEE, will perform substantially as described in LICENSOR’s then current Documentation for such Software during the period that LICENSEE has a valid license to use the Software (because all required licensing fees have been paid by LICENSEE to LICENSOR).

C. Limitations. Notwithstanding the warranty provisions set forth herein, all of LICENSOR’s obligations with respect to such warranties shall be contingent on LICENSEE’s use of the Software in accordance with this Agreement and in accordance with LICENSOR’s instructions as provided by LICENSOR in the Documentation, as such instructions may be amended, supplemented, or modified by LICENSOR from time to time. LICENSOR shall have no warranty obligations with respect to any failures of the Software that are the result of accident, abuse, misapplication, misunderstanding, incomplete training, power outage, website or server maintenance, equipment failure, extreme power surge or extreme electromagnetic field.

D. LICENSEE’s Sole Remedy. LICENSOR’s entire liability and LICENSEE’s exclusive remedy shall be, at LICENSOR’s option, either: (1) return of the license fee paid for one month of service; or (2) repair or replacement of the Software, provided LICENSOR receives written notice from LICENSEE during the warranty period of a breach of warranty. Any replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer.

E. Disclaimer of Warranties. LICENSOR DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT ALL ERRORS IN THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION WILL BE CORRECTED. THE WARRANTIES STATED IN THIS SECTION ARE THE SOLE AND THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES OFFERED BY LICENSOR. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES RESPECTING THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION OR SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF DESIGN, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN INFORMED OF SUCH PURPOSE. NO RESELLER OR AGENT OF LICENSOR IS AUTHORIZED TO ALTER OR EXCEED THE WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS OF LICENSOR AS SET FORTH HEREIN.

F. Limitation of Liability. LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE CONSIDERATION WHICH LICENSOR IS CHARGING HEREUNDER DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY CONSIDERATION FOR ASSUMPTION BY LICENSOR OF THE RISK OF LICENSEE’S CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY ARISE IN CONNECTION WITH LICENSEE’S USE OF THE SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION, AND ANY OUTPUT PRODUCED BY THE SOFTWARE. ACCORDINGLY, LICENSEE AGREES THAT LICENSOR SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO LICENSEE FOR ANY LOSS-OF-PROFIT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE LICENSING OR USE OF THE SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION, OR OUTPUT PRODUCED BY THE SOFTWARE. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of LICENSOR to any person, firm or corporation whatsoever arising out of or in the connection with any license, use or other employment of any Software delivered to LICENSEE hereunder, whether such liability arises from any claim based on breach or repudiation of contract, warranty, tort or otherwise, shall in no case exceed the actual price paid to LICENSOR by LICENSEE for the Software whose license, use, or other employment gives rise to the liability. The essential purpose of this provision is to limit the potential liability of LICENSOR arising out of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the limitations set forth in this Section are integral to the amount of consideration levied in connection with the license of the Software and Documentation and any services rendered hereunder and that, were LICENSOR to assume any further liability other than as set forth herein, such consideration would of necessity be set substantially higher.

G. Third Party Limitations. LICENSOR makes no representations whatsoever about any other web site that LICENSEE may access through the Software, that is referenced by the Software or Documentation, or from data that was retrieved from a third party web site about LICENSEE or another entity. When LICENSEE accesses a third party web site, LICENSEE acknowledges that it is independent from LICENSOR, and that LICENSOR has no control over the content on that web site. In addition, a link from LICENSOR’s web site(s) does not mean that LICENSOR endorses or accept any responsibility for the content, or the use, of such web site.

12. TERMINATION

LICENSOR or LICENSEE may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon providing written notice at least ten (10) days before the next scheduled license renewal date (monthly, yearly, or whatever renewal term was selected on the order form or receipt). No refunds will be given for any License that is terminated early (i.e. before expiration of the current License Term). LICENSOR has the right to terminate this agreement immediately without written notice in the event of a breach of this Agreement by LICENSEE, such as if LICENSEE has not paid the required License Fee to LICENSOR when due.

13. POST TERMINATION RIGHTS

LICENSEE agrees to defend, indemnify and hold LICENSOR, its officers, directors, agents, employees, and related companies harmless against any and all costs, expenses and losses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from LICENSEE’s breach of this Agreement, and from LICENSEE’s use of the information generated by the Software. LICENSEE’s obligations under this Section will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

15. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any loss or delay resulting from any force majeure event, including acts of God, fire, natural disaster, terrorism, labor stoppage, war or military hostilities, or inability of carriers to make scheduled deliveries, and any payment or delivery date shall be extended to the extent of any delay resulting from any force majeure event.

LICENSEE’s address to be used for any required notices shall be the address provided by its authorized user of the Software, unless another address and/or contact is provided for receiving such notices.
