7. Confidentiality

  1. 7.1 Duties Regarding Confidential Information. At all times during and after the term of this Agreement, Recipient shall (a) keep Discloser's Confidential Information confidential and not disclose Discloser's Confidential Information to a third party without the Discloser's written consent or as expressly permitted in this Agreement, (b) not use the Confidential Information for purposes other than the performance of this Agreement, (c) not use the Confidential Information for its own commercial advantage, to inform or develop its own competitive business strategies, marketing plans, product development, or other internal uses outside its performance under the Agreement, nor share any derived insights with its departments not directly involved in Recipients performance under the Agreement or for any purpose unrelated to the Agreement, and (d) not reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, create derivative works from, or otherwise analyze the physical construction of, any such items otherwise attempt to derive or develop any insights from the Confidential Information, except as strictly necessary to perform its obligations under the Agreement. Recipient may disclose Discloser's Confidential Information only to Recipient's Affiliates, employees, officers, directors, advisors or contractors (together, "Representatives") who need to know such Confidential Information and who are under a duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than Recipient's duty hereunder. Recipient shall protect the other Party's Confidential Information using the same degree of care used to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Recipient shall be responsible for any breach of Confidential Information by its Representatives. Where disclosure is required by law, such disclosure shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement provided Recipient gives Discloser reasonable advance notice (if legally permissible) to enable Discloser to seek appropriate protection of the Confidential Information and discloses only that portion of the Confidential Information that the Recipient is legally compelled or is otherwise legally required to disclose. Any prior non-disclosure agreement executed among the parties is terminated in favor of these confidentiality terms.
  2. 7.2 Unauthorized Disclosures. The parties agree that Recipient's threatened or actual unauthorized disclosures of Confidential Information may result in irreparable injury for which a remedy in money damages may be inadequate. The parties therefore agree the Discloser may be entitled to seek an injunction to prevent a breach or threatened breach of this Section without posting a bond. Any such injunction shall be additional to other remedies available to Discloser at law or in equity.
  3. 7.3 Each Party's confidentiality obligations hereunder will continue for a period of three (3) years following any termination of this Agreement, provided, however, that each Party's obligations will survive and continue in effect thereafter with respect to, and for so long as, any Confidential Information continues to be a trade secret under applicable law.

  2. 9.2 Termination for Breach or Insolvency. Either Party may terminate this Agreement or any applicable Order Form, license or subscription (without resort to court or other legal action) if the other Party fails to cure a material breach within thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach (or ten (10) days in the case of non-payment). Flexcompute may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice in the event Customer breaches Section 3.4 or if the breach is incapable of cure. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if the other Party terminates or suspends its business without a successor or becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors.

In the event of termination, all amounts payable by Customer to Flexcompute under this Agreement are immediately due and payable. Termination of this Agreement or any licenses or subscriptions shall not prevent either Party from pursuing all available legal remedies, nor shall such termination relieve Customer's obligation to pay all fees that are owed. All provisions of this Agreement relating to Flexcompute's ownership of the Flexcompute Products, limitations of liability, disclaimers of warranties, confidentiality, waiver, audit and governing law and jurisdiction, will survive the termination of this Agreement.
  4. 9.4 Suspension of Service.

Customer will remain responsible for all fees incurred before and during any suspension.

Company may, at its own expense, on reasonable prior notice, on its own or through its designated agent or third-party accounting firm, periodically inspect and audit Customer's records with respect to matters covered by this Agreement, provided that if such inspection and audit reveals that Customer has underpaid Licensor (or the applicable authorized reseller) with respect to any amounts due and payable during the Term, Customer shall promptly pay the amounts necessary to rectify such underpayment, together with interest in accordance with this Section. If such audit discloses that Customer is not in material compliance with the terms of this Agreement, then Customer shall be responsible for the reasonable costs of the audit, in addition to any other fees or damages to which Flexcompute may be entitled under this Agreement and applicable law.
  2. 10.2 Third-Party Materials.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the right to use the Evaluation Products is provided "AS IS" without indemnification, Support, service level credits, or warranty of any kind, expressed or implied.

Any attempt by Customer to assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder in violation of this Section will be null and void. Flexcompute is free to assign or transfer any or all of its rights or obligations under this Agreement at its discretion. All terms of this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by and against the respective successors and permitted assigns of Flexcompute and Customer.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, CUSTOMER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL REGARDING DISPUTES RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.
  8. 10.8 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (except for a failure to pay fees) if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events, which occur during the Term of this Agreement and which are beyond the reasonable control of the Parties, such as strikes, blockade, war, acts of civil or military authority, terrorism, riots, natural disasters, refusal of license or other acts by any government or other governmental agencies (including the passage of laws, regulations or sanctions which impact the delivery of Flexcompute Products or Services), pandemics, failure or diminishment of power, telecommunications or data networks or services, denial-of service attacks or materials shortage in so far as such an event prevents or delays the affected Party from fulfilling its obligations and such Party is not able to prevent or remove the force majeure at reasonable cost (“Force Majeure Event”).
