- Confidentiality
5.a. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by one Party, its Affiliates, business partners or their respective employees, agents, or contractors (collectively, the “Discloser”) that is designated as confidential, either orally or in writing, or that, given the nature of the information or circumstances surrounding its disclosure, reasonably should be understood to be confidential. Confidential Information includes without limitation: (a) Customer Data; (b) information relating to the Discloser’s or its Affiliates’ technology, customers, business plans, promotional and marketing activities, finances, and other business affairs; (c) third-party information that the Discloser is obligated to keep confidential; and (d) the terms of this Agreement and all Orders. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that: (i) was known to the Party that receives any Confidential Information (the “Recipient”) prior to receiving the same from the Discloser in connection with this Agreement; (ii) is independently developed by the Recipient without reference to or use of the Discloser’s Confidential Information; (iii) is acquired by the Recipient from another source without restriction as to use or disclosure; or (iv) is or becomes publicly available through no fault or action of the Recipient.
5.b. The Recipient shall not (a) use the Discloser’s Confidential Information for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement without the Discloser’s prior written consent or (b) disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the Recipient’s employees, agents, contractors and service providers who (i) are bound by non-use and non-disclosure obligations at least as protective as those contained in this Agreement and (ii) have a need to know the Confidential Information for the Recipient to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recipient may disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information to the limited extent any use or disclosure is required by Applicable Law or a valid and binding order of a governmental body (such as a subpoena or court order), provided that, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, the Recipient uses reasonable efforts to give the Discloser reasonable advance notice thereof to afford the Discloser an opportunity to intervene and seek an order or other appropriate relief for the protection of its Confidential Information. In the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Recipient of its obligations under this Section, the Discloser will be entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce such obligations.
5.c. Data Security. CloudSaver will maintain an information security program that includes appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards reasonably designed to: 1) ensure the security and confidentiality of Customer’s data; 2) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such data; 3) protect against unauthorized access to or use of such data that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to Customer; and 4) dispose of such data in a secure manner. CloudSaver will limit its access to Customer’s data to authorized persons having a need to know who are subject to confidentiality obligations no less protective than this Agreement. CloudSaver will only access such information as necessary to provide services under this Agreement. CloudSaver will not store nonpublic personal information for any purpose other than to facilitate the performance of services for Customer, and for only so long as is necessary to facilitate such performance.
- Limitation of Liability
6.a. Under no circumstances will CloudSaver be liable for any consequential, indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or incidental damages of any kind whatsoever, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable (including but not limited to, claims for lost revenue, lost profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, loss of use of money or use of services, interruption in the use or availability of data, stoppage of other work or impairment of other assets), arising out of the purported breach or failure of any express or implied warranty, breach of contract, negligence, strict liability in tort or otherwise. In no event will CloudSaver’s liability under this Agreement exceed the fees received by CloudSaver from Customer for performing the Services within the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
6.b. CloudSaver will not be responsible for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement if such failure is caused by events beyond its reasonable control such as flood, fire, theft, communications failure, pandemic, and government shutdown orders (a “Force Majeure Event”). Notwithstanding the foregoing in the event a Force Majeure Event lasts more than thirty (30) consecutive days, either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice.
6.c. CloudSaver makes no representation or warranty as to the availability, accuracy, or completeness of the Services or any cloud service cost reductions or savings. Customer takes the Services, reports and CloudSaver’s performance “as is.”
- Other Provisions
7.a. Governing Law. The Parties agree that Kansas law, without reference to rules governing conflict of laws, will apply to this Agreement and any dispute between the Parties related thereto. The Parties agree to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal and state courts of Kansas for Johnson County, Kansas for any dispute arising under this Agreement.
7.b. Promotion. Neither Party shall, except as otherwise required by applicable law or stock exchange requirements, issue or release any announcement, statement, press release or other publicity or marketing materials relating to this Agreement or otherwise use the other Party’s marks or logos without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that CloudSaver may include Customer’s name and logo in its lists of CloudSaver customers, its public website, and other promotional material. CloudSaver agrees to promptly cease such uses of Customer’s name and logo following Customer’s request sent to legal@cloudsaver.com.
- General
A Party’s failure to enforce strict performance or compliance with any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our rights to subsequently enforce such provision or other provisions of this Agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Parties regarding its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements between the Parties, both oral and written. This Agreement will not be amended except by mutual written consent of both Parties. Neither Party may assign this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise without the other Party’s prior written consent. CloudSaver may not subcontract any portion of its obligations under this Agreement without prior written approval of Customer. Any such approval shall not relieve CloudSaver of any of its duties, obligations, warranties, liabilities, or responsibilities under this Agreement.
