Customer will promptly notify TrueFort of any complaints or objections to Customer’s use of the Products.

1.6.  Customer acquires no ownership rights in or title to the Products and will not at any time have physical access to any facility providing the Products. Except for the license rights expressly granted to Customer in Section 1.1, and except as provided in Section 1.7, TrueFort and its licensors (if any) retain all ownership rights in and title to the Products.

1.7.  The Products may include certain open-source software and other freely available software and material (“Excluded Components”). TrueFort will identify Excluded Components included in the Products upon request for a proper purpose consistent with this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Excluded Components are governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable license and/or notice provided by the third-party authors, contributors, and suppliers of the Excluded Components (the “Suppliers”), and TrueFort has no responsibility or liability of any kind related to such Excluded Components. The Suppliers’ licenses and other notices (including instructions for obtaining source code for certain Excluded Components), may be available in the documentation accompanying the Products s. Customer agrees to comply with all such licenses and other notices. Further, and notwithstanding any of the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement Customer may have with TrueFort: (a) the Suppliers provide the Excluded Components WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND AND SUCH SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE WARRANTY OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR INTERFERENCE AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO THE EXCLUDED COMPONENTS; and (b) in no event are the Suppliers liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, including, but not limited to lost data, lost savings and lost profits, with respect to the Excluded Components.

1.9.  TrueFort may, but will not be required to, decide in its sole discretion to modify, enhance, or otherwise change the Products. Any and all bug fixes, updates, upgrades, modifications and new releases of the Products (collectively, “Improvements”) provided to Customer by TrueFort will be considered “Products” subject to the provisions of this Agreement; provided that TrueFort may, in its sole discretion, license any Improvements (including but not limited to a new version of Products) on separate, different or additional terms (including for an additional fee).

1.10. TrueFort warrants that during the applicable Term: (i) TrueFort will not materially decrease the overall functionality of the Products; and (ii) the Products will perform materially in accordance with the applicable Documentation.

1.11. Neither party will take any action intended to appropriate or perfect rights in the intellectual property of the other, including, without limitation, the filing of patent, trademark, or service mark applications or copyright registrations.

Term and Termination

2.1.  This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue until the earlier of (a) termination pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (b) TrueFort and Customer enter into a further agreement that expressly supersedes this Agreement.

2.2.  TrueFort may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Customer if Customer breaches a material provision of this Agreement and fails to cure the breach within thirty (30) days following such notice. Notwithstanding the above, TrueFort may terminate this Agreement immediately after providing written notice to Customer if Customer TrueFort an un-curable provision of this Agreement such as, but not limited to, the provisions regarding reverse engineering, disassembly, de-compilation, or confidentiality.

2.3.  Upon termination of this Agreement, (a) Customer will immediately cease all use of the Products s; and (b) TrueFort will (if applicable) delete any confidential information of Customer then on TrueFort’s servers; provided that, if termination occurs for any reason other than Customer’s breach, TrueFort may retain such information subject to TrueFort and Customer agreeing separately on the terms under which TrueFort would retain such information. Termination of this Agreement will not prevent either party from pursuing all available legal remedies that accrued prior to termination, nor will it relieve Customer of any obligation to make payments that accrued prior to termination. The parties’ rights and obligations under Sections 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.10, 2.3, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of this Agreement will survive termination of this Agreement.

2.5.  In addition to TrueFort’s rights to terminate this Agreement, TrueFort may suspend Customer’s right to access the Products at any time if TrueFort determines, in its sole discretion, that Customer’s use of the Products is interrupting or interfering with the normal operation of the Products.

Payments

3.1 Customer agrees to pay TrueFort all amounts required to be paid (a) upon placing an electronic order for a license, or (b) under the terms of any signed agreement between Customer and TrueFort governing Customer’s use of the Products. No failure by TrueFort to request any payment or to demand any performance will be deemed a waiver by TrueFort or a waiver of TrueFort’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Equipment

4.1 Customer shall, at its own cost and expense, provide all equipment, operating systems, and software (including Web browser) needed to use and access the Products in accordance with the technical requirements in TrueFort’s documentation. Customer shall also provide, at its own cost and expense, all connections from its computer systems to the Products.

Confidentiality

5.1 The Products contain certain information that TrueFort considers either proprietary, confidential, or both (collectively, “Confidential Information”). In addition, during the term of this Agreement TrueFort may also disclose to Customer certain other Confidential Information. Customer will hold TrueFort’s Confidential Information in confidence and will use its best efforts to protect it. Customer will use such Confidential Information for the sole purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement. Customer will not disclose Confidential Information to any person other than, in the case of a Customer that is an entity, employees and independent contractors of Customer who need to know such Confidential Information in order to carry out the terms of this Agreement and who are bound by a written confidentiality agreement with Customer that is no less protective of such Confidential Information than this Agreement.  Upon request of TrueFort, Customer will provide TrueFort with reasonable evidence of such written confidentiality agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, Customer will either return to TrueFort all Confidential Information in its possession (including all copies) or will, at TrueFort’s direction, destroy all Confidential Information (including all copies) and Customer (or in the case of a Customer that is an entity, an officer of Customer) will certify its destruction to TrueFort. The foregoing obligations of confidentiality and non-use will not apply to any Confidential Information that Customer can show, by competent evidence: (a) is publicly known at the time of disclosure or enters the public domain following disclosure through no fault of Customer; or (b) Customer can demonstrate was already in its possession without restriction prior to disclosure under this Agreement. Customer may disclose Confidential Information upon the order of any competent court or government agency, provided that, prior to such disclosure Customer will, unless prohibited by law, inform TrueFort of such order and provide TrueFort with reasonable assistance to prevent or limit such disclosure. Customer agrees that its obligations under this Article are necessary and reasonable in order to protect TrueFort and its business, and that monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate TrueFort for any breach by Customer of such obligations.  Accordingly, Customer agrees and acknowledges that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to TrueFort and that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise, TrueFort will be entitled to seek injunctive relief against the continued breach or threatened breach of Customer’s obligations under this Section 5 without the necessity of proving actual damages.
