It is free to use any suggestions from Customer without compensation or permission, and will own the intellectual property rights in its embodiment (if any) of such suggestions.

B.  Company may collect and use Customer-provided data, including, but not limited to, any de-identified, aggregated and/or anonymized data, for its business purposes but in no event in a manner that would disclose Customer’s Confidential Information in a manner that would be directly attributable to Customer. Customer acknowledges that when Customer interacts with the Software, including to implement, operate, use and maintain the Software, Company may use automatic means (including, for example, cookies and web beacons) to collect information about the device(s) used to access the Software and about Customer’s use of the Software, and that Customer may also be required to provide certain information as a condition to using the Software or certain of its features or functionality, and the Software may provide opportunities to share information about itself with others (collectively, “User Data”). All User Data is treated as Company’s Confidential Information, together with any other information Company collects through or in connection with the Software. Company respects the Customer’s interest in the confidentiality and privacy of User Data and will take reasonable measures to deidentify it, while retaining its utility for aggregated analysis. The purpose of this deidentified data is to derive unique market insights that will allow Company to provide benchmarking and insights in the ordinary course of its business. Customer understands and consents that such aggregated insights may be used by Company for further product enhancement, feature development, and analytical purposes, always prioritizing the protection of privacy and anonymity of company data sources. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall not be responsible or liable for the deletion, correction, destruction, damage, loss or failure to store any User Data, or for any actions or omissions which Company takes in reliance upon the User Data.

5. NO WARRANTY; Disclaimers; Updates; Customer Responsibilities.  

A.  COMPANY’S SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” WITH NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. COMPANY HAS NO LIABILITY FOR CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE SOFTWARE. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SOFTWARE OR THE SERVICES COULD INCLUDE TECHNICAL OR OTHER ERRORS OR INACCURACIES; THE SOFTWARE MAY BECOME INOPERABLE OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE FOR PERIODS OF TIME; MATERIALS AND/OR SERVICES ON THE SOFTWARE MAY BE OR BECOME OUT OF DATE AND COMPANY MAKES NO COMMITMENT TO UPDATE SUCH MATERIALS OR SERVICES. COMPANY ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE INFORMATION, DOCUMENTS, SOFTWARE, MATERIALS AND/OR SERVICES WHICH ARE REFERENCED BY OR LINKED TO VIA THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES. REFERENCES TO THIRD PARTIES, THEIR SERVICES AND PRODUCTS, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH CUSTOMER’S ENJOYMENT OF THE SERVICES OR SOFTWARE, THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN, OR MATERIALS INCLUDED IN THE SERVICES OR SOFTWARE WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED. 

B.  The Software or the Services may contain links to external websites. Company is neither responsible nor liable for the content of such external websites and has no control over the functionality of any third party links. Information or the Software or the Services, or available via hypertext link from the Software or the Services, is accessible to Customer without responsibility or liability on the part of Company. Company does not make any representations or warranties as to the security of any information (including, without limitation, credit card and other personal information) Customer might be requested to give any third party, and Customer hereby irrevocably waives any claim against Company with respect to such sites and third party content. Company strongly encourages Customer to make whatever investigation Customer feels necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties. 

C. Company may from time to time in its sole discretion develop and provide Software updates, which may include upgrades, bug fixes, patches, other error corrections, and/or new features (collectively, including related documentation, “Updates”). Updates may also modify or delete in their entirety certain features and functionality. Customer agrees that Company has no obligation to provide any Updates or to continue to provide or enable any particular features or functionality. Based on Customer’s settings of the device(s) used to access the Software: (a) the Software may automatically download and install all available Updates; or (b) the Customer may receive notice of or be prompted to download and install available Updates. The Customer shall promptly download and install all Updates and acknowledges and agrees that the Software or portions thereof may not properly operate should Customer fail to do so or may continue to operate improperly if Updates are designed to remedy an issue in the Software. Customer further agrees that all Updates will be deemed part of the Software and be subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

D. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties such that the above exclusion may not apply to Customer. This warranty gives Customer specific legal rights, and Customer may also have other rights that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. 

E. Customer is solely responsible for any and all activities that occur under its constituent user accounts including inputting, maintaining, and managing accurate information and ensuring that such users exit or log-off from their account at the end of each session of use. Customer shall notify Company immediately of any unauthorized use of a user’s password or account or any other breach of security that is known or suspected by Customer. Customer shall also use its best efforts to stop immediately any copying or distribution of the Software that is known or suspected by Customer. Company shall not be responsible for any unauthorized access to, or alteration of, Customer’s transmissions or User Data, any material, information or data sent or received, regardless of whether the data is actually received by Company, or any transactions entered into through the Service or Customer’s failure to abide by this Agreement.
 

6. Limitations of Liability for Damages. In connection with this Agreement and the Software, and regardless of the form of action or theory of recovery, to the extent not prohibited by law, in no event shall Company be liable for any indirect, special, exemplary, consequential, incidental or punitive damages; lost profits, lost revenue, lost business expectancy, business interruption losses, or loss of data; and/or direct damages in an amount in excess of the amount paid by Customer to Company for Software and Services during the previous month, even if Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability for personal injury, or of incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation may not apply to Customer. The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above-stated remedy fails of its essential purpose. Any cause of action or claim Customer may have arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Software or the Service must be commenced within one (1) year after the date Customer knew, or reasonably should have known, of the existence of such claim of action, otherwise such cause of action or claim is permanently barred.  

7. Indemnification. Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company and its members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or relating to Customer’s use or misuse of the Software or its breach of this Agreement, including but not limited to any content Customer submits or makes available through the Software.  Company shall be responsible for any use of the Software and Services by its employees or permitted third party contractors and shall cause all of its employees and permitted third party to abide by the terms of this Agreement and the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy that they sign up for when creating a user account for use of the Software. 

8. Confidentiality.  

A.  During the term of this Agreement, each party may disclose to the other party (orally, in writing, or electronically), or a party may obtain, observe, or otherwise be granted access to, information and materials considered confidential by the other party. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, information relating to Software and Service prices, compensation, research, products, services, developments, inventions, processes, protocols, methods of operation, techniques, strategies, programs (both software and firmware), designs, systems, proposed business arrangements, results of testing, distribution, engineering, marketing, financial, merchandising and/or sales information, individual customer profiles, customer lists and/or aggregated customer data (“Confidential Information”).  

B.  Subject in all respects to Company’s right to use information under Section 4(B) above, each party shall use the other party’s Confidential Information only for the purposes of this Agreement, and not for its own or any third party’s benefit. Each party shall maintain the confidentiality of the other party’s Confidential Information in the same manner in which it protects its own Confidential Information of like kind, but in no event shall either party take less than reasonable precautions to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of the other party’s Confidential Information. In addition, neither party shall make any unauthorized commercial use of the other party’s Confidential Information. 

C. Except as expressly provided herein, each party is permitted to disclose the other party’s Confidential Information only to its employees and agents who have a need-to-know the Confidential Information in order for that party to exercise its rights and/or perform its obligations under this Agreement, provided: (a) the party advises each such employee or agent of the confidential nature of the other party’s Confidential Information; and (b) each such employee and agent has agreed to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. Each party shall be and remain fully liable and responsible for its employees’ and/or agents’ unauthorized disclosure or use of the other party’s Confidential Information.

Each party is permitted to disclose the other party’s Confidential Information as legally required in response to a court order, subpoena, administrative proceeding and/or similar legal process; provided that it gives the other party reasonable notice of the request, and an opportunity to defend and/or attempt to limit or prevent the disclosure of its Confidential Information.

F. Each party acknowledges and agrees that its unauthorized disclosure or use of the other party’s Confidential Information will cause damage to the other party that may not be adequately compensated through money damages. As such, each party expressly consents to the entry of an order for equitable remedies, including, but not limited to, temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctions to remedy any actual or threatened unauthorized disclosure or use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information. These remedies are cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 

G. At the disclosing party’s request, each party shall return the other party’s Confidential Information. Neither party shall use the other party’s Confidential Information for its own, or any third party’s benefit, except as expressly provided herein.

No waiver shall be implied from a failure of either party to exercise a right or remedy. In addition, no waiver of a party’s right or remedy will affect the other provisions in this Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties, and the terms of this Agreement are contractual and not a mere recital. Without limitation to the foregoing, the parties' actions and statements prior to this Agreement shall not be used by either party to modify or interpret the rights or obligations set forth in this Agreement.

Company shall notify Customer of such changes by posting the changes on its website (the “Site”). The Customer is responsible for regularly reviewing the Site and this Agreement regarding such changes. Continued use of the Software and Company’s Services after any such changes have been posted shall constitute Customer’s agreement to them.

All other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 

H. Survival. All provisions of this Agreement relating to the grant of the License, representations, warranties, confidentiality, privacy, ownership, indemnification, limitations of liability, any accrued but unpaid financial obligations and any other terms related to such financial obligations, and any other subject that would, by its nature, be deemed to survive termination of this Agreement (whether or not so expressly stated), will survive the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement. 

I. Independent Contractor Relationship. The relationship between Company and Customer is that of independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating a relationship between Company and Customer of joint venturers, partners, employer-employee, or agent. Neither party has the authority to create any obligations for the other, or to bind the other to any representation or document.
