10. CONFIDENTIALITY.

10.1

Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means any and all non-public information disclosed by one party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) pursuant to the Agreement, in any form or medium, whether oral or written, that is designated confidential or proprietary, or that a reasonable person should understand is confidential or proprietary. Confidential Information includes without limitation: the terms of the Agreement, information related to either party’s technology, products, know-how, trade secrets, whether or not patentable or copyrightable, security reports, specifications, customers, business plans, pricing information, promotional and marketing activities, finances and other business affairs, and the Locktera Services. Customer will not remove or destroy any proprietary markings or restrictive legends contained in the Locktera Services.

10.2

Nondisclosure Obligations. The Receiving Party will not use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose other than as necessary to fulfill its obligations or to exercise its rights under the Agreement (the “Purpose”). The Receiving Party will not disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any third party; provided that the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its partners, officers, directors, employees, contractors, Affiliates, agents, advisors, or representatives (“Representatives”) who need access to such Confidential Information for the Purpose and who are subject to written confidentiality obligations at least as stringent as the obligations set forth in this Section. Each party accepts responsibility for the actions of its Representatives and will protect the other party’s Confidential Information in the same manner as it protects its own valuable confidential information, but with no less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party upon becoming aware of a breach or threatened breach hereunder and will cooperate with any reasonable request of the Disclosing Party in enforcing its rights.

10.3

Exceptions to Confidential Information. Confidential Information does not include information which: (a) is known by the Receiving Party prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party without any obligation of confidentiality; (b) becomes known to the Receiving Party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; (c) lawfully becomes publicly known or otherwise publicly available, except through a breach of the Agreement; or (d) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information pursuant to the requirements of applicable law or legal process but only after it notifies the Disclosing party (if legally permissible) to enable the Disclosing party to seek a protective order or otherwise contest required disclosure, at the Disclosing Party’s expense.

10.4

Injunctive Relief. The parties agree that any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information may cause immediate and irreparable injury to the Disclosing Party and that, in the event of such breach, the Disclosing Party will be entitled, in addition to any other available remedies, to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without bond and without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages.

If Locktera becomes aware of any unlawful access to any Customer Personal Data stored on Locktera equipment or in a Locktera facility, or unauthorized access to such equipment or facilities resulting in loss, disclosure, or alteration of Customer Personal Data (each a “Security Incident”), Locktera will notify Customer of the Security Incident without undue delay (provided that such notification may be delayed as required by a law enforcement agency) and take commercially reasonable steps to comply with its obligations under applicable Data Protection Law pertaining to responding to a Security Incident. Locktera’s obligation to report or respond to a Security Incident under this Section is not an acknowledgement by Locktera of any fault or liability with respect to the Security Incident.

11.4

Customer acknowledges that security of Customer Data depends in part on Customer configuration and access control decisions. Locktera shall not be responsible for unauthorized access resulting from Customer configuration, credential management, or authorization policies.

Unless otherwise specified in the Subscription Order, subscriptions shall automatically renew for successive periods equal to the then-current subscription period.

Locktera may terminate an affected Subscription Order immediately upon written notice if:

(a)

Customer fails to pay undisputed Fees within ten (10) days after receiving written notice of nonpayment;

(b)

Customer or its Users materially infringe or misappropriate Locktera's Intellectual Property Rights; or

(c)

continued access presents a material security risk that cannot reasonably be mitigated through suspension or other protective measures.

Suspension of Services. Locktera may suspend access to the Services immediately without liability where Locktera reasonably determines that Customer use poses a security risk, violates this Agreement, threatens service integrity, or is required by law or regulatory authority.

14. LOCKTERA INDEMNITY

14.1

IP Claims. Locktera, at its expense, will defend Customer and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees (the “Customer Indemnified Parties”) from and against all actions, proceedings, claims and demands by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) alleging that the Locktera Services received by Customer under the applicable Order Form, as of the delivery date, infringes any copyright or misappropriates any trade secret, and Locktera will pay all damages, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs (whether by settlement or final award) incurred by the Customer Indemnified Parties directly from any such Third-Party Claim. Together with the mitigation obligations set forth below, this represents Locktera’s entire liability, and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, for infringement of any intellectual property or proprietary rights by any Locktera Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the foregoing obligations will not apply with respect to a claim of infringement that arises out of (a) infringing or illegal Customer Data; (b) use of the Locktera Service in combination with any software, hardware, network, technology or system not supplied by Locktera where the alleged infringement relates to such combination; (c) any modification or alteration of the Locktera Service other than by Locktera; (d) Customer’s continued use of the Locktera Service after Locktera notifies Customer to discontinue use because of an infringement claim; (e) use of the Locktera Service other than as authorized under the Agreement or Documentation; or (f) failure to implement an update, upgrade or bug fix that Locktera has provided at no charge where such implementation may avoid infringement.

If such termination materially affects Locktera’s ability to meet its remaining obligations under the relevant Order Form then Locktera may, at its option and upon written notice, terminate the Order Form, in whole or in part, and refund such other unused fees prepaid to Locktera for the terminated Locktera Service.

  • CUSTOMER INDEMNITY. Customer will, at its expense, defend Locktera, its Affiliates, licensors and their respective officers, directors and employees (the “Locktera Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Third-Party Claims which arise out of or relate to: (a) a claim or threat that the Customer Data infringes, misappropriates or violates any third party’s privacy or Intellectual Property Rights; (b) Customer’s breach of Section 8 (Customer’s Responsibilities); and (c) the occurrence of any of the exclusions (a) through (f) set forth above in Section 14.1 (IP Claims).

In no event will an Indemnified Party settle any claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written approval. The Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, engage separate counsel to advise it regarding a Third-Party Claim and to participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense and settlement.
  • LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

U.S federal government end users acknowledge and agree that: (a) Locktera Services are “commercial items” as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 2.101; (b) any agreement between Locktera and Partner or its end user as Customer is a commercial-item subcontract governed by FAR 52.244-6 or 52.212-5(e) as applicable; and (c) only the mandatory flow-down clauses of FAR 52.244-6 or 52.212-5(e) apply to Locktera unless other FAR and FAR Supplement clauses are specifically identified and accepted by Locktera in writing. For all U.S. federal government Customers and end users, the terms of this standard commercial software license customarily provided to the public govern, as provided by FAR 12.212, Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) 227.7202-1 and 227.7202-3, or other applicable laws and regulations. No other license to the Locktera Services is valid or enforceable unless (and solely to the extent) specifically agreed to in writing by Locktera. For all other government entities, license to the Locktera Services is offered only under this license; no other license to the Locktera Services is valid or enforceable unless (and solely to the extent) specifically agreed to in writing by Locktera.

31. OPEN SOURCE.

For any component of the Software offered under an open source license, Locktera will make the license available to Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing license grants, the Agreement is not meant to modify the terms of any Open Source Software license applicable to the Locktera Services, and in the event of a conflict, the terms of such Open Source Software license will prevail.
