8. CONFIDENTIALITY
8.1 Each of the parties will maintain in confidence any non-public, confidential or proprietary information disclosed by or on behalf of the other party (“Confidential Information“). The receiving party will not disclose or make available to any third party any Confidential Information of the disclosing party, and will not use any Confidential Information of the disclosing party except as necessary in order to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under these Terms. Each party will take all actions as are reasonably necessary and appropriate to preserve and protect the Confidential Information of the other party, at all times exercising at least the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.
8.2 The obligations set forth in Section 8.1 will not apply to any information that the receiving party can establish through written documentation (a) was already known to the receiving party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party; (b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the receiving party; (c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure and other than through any act or omission of the receiving party in breach of these Terms; (d) was disclosed to the receiving party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, by a third party who had no obligation to the other party not to disclose such information to others; or (e) was developed independently by the receiving party without any use of or reference to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information. A disclosure of Confidential Information that is legally compelled to be disclosed pursuant to a subpoena, summons, order or other judicial or governmental process will not be considered a breach of these Terms; provided the receiving party provides prompt notice of any such subpoena, order, or the like to the disclosing party so that such party will have the opportunity to obtain a protective order or otherwise oppose the disclosure.
9. WARRANTIES, EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND DISCLAIMERS
9.1 Two-Year Warranty. Provider warrants that the Hardware Products, if used in accordance the Documentation, will be free from material defects in workmanship and materials and will function and perform substantially in accordance with the specifications set forth in the applicable Documentation for a period of two years from delivery to Customer. In the event that the Hardware Products purchased by Customer fail to perform in accordance with the foregoing limited warranty in such two-year period, at Customer’s request, Provider will repair such Hardware Products within thirty days of Customer’s notice of such failure to Provider. Provider will have no liability for any claim under this Section 9.1 if the claim arises from modifications to the Services or Hardware Products made other than by Provider, combinations of the Services or Hardware Products with software, hardware or other materials not provided by Provider, a Force Majeure Event, or defects caused by persons or entities other than Provider, including improper installation or misuse, or defects or failures in the third-party equipment or infrastructure (e.g., internet service or mobile device) used in connection with the Services or Hardware Products. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for a breach of the foregoing limited warranty will be for Provider to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the noncompliance at no additional cost to Customer and if Provider cannot correct such noncompliance within a reasonable period of time, Customer may terminate its subscription under the applicable Order Form pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i) and receive a refund of the fees paid for the nonconforming Hardware Products and any prepaid subscription fees for the Services covering the remainder of the Term of the applicable Order Form after the effective date of termination.
9.2 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 9.1, THE SERVICES AND HARDWARE PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED TO CUSTOMER “AS IS.” PROVIDER HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AND HARDWARE PRODUCTS AND THESE TERMS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, PROVIDER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR BE ERROR-FREE.
10. INDEMNIFICATION
Customer will defend Provider from and against any and all claims, actions, suits or proceedings made or brought against Provider by any third party (“Claims”) and indemnify and hold Provider harmless from any and all losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, awards, fines, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from such Claims to the extent arising out of or in connection with (a) Customer’s or its Authorized Users’ negligence, willful misconduct or breach of these Terms, or (b) the Customer Data.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
EXCEPT FOR LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 8, A PARTY’S INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION, DILUTION OR OTHER VIOLATION OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, OR CUSTOMER’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 10, (A) IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER, OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH OR UNDER SUCH PARTY, FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND (B) IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND, EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER TO PROVIDER DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. PROVIDER WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY WHATSOEVER RELATED TO THE PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF INSTALLATION SERVICES BY CUSTOMER OR ITS THIRD-PARTY CONTRACTOR. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11 ARE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THESE TERMS AND THAT IN THE ABSENCE OF THIS SECTION 11 THE PRICING AND OTHER TERMS SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT.
