Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer is responsible for all acts and omissions of Authorized Users, and any act or omission by an Authorized User that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if taken by Customer will be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Customer. Customer shall use reasonable efforts to make all Authorized Users aware of this Agreement’s provisions as applicable to such Authorized User’s use of the Software, Documentation, Support Services and, if applicable, the Subscription Services and shall cause Authorized Users to comply with such provisions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required: (i) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order; or (ii) to establish a Party’s rights under this Agreement, including to make required court filings.  On the expiration or termination of the Agreement, the receiving Party shall promptly return to the disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and if requested by the disclosing Party, certify in writing to the disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. Each Party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the Effective Date and will expire three (3) years from the date first disclosed to the receiving Party; provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.

(d) Right to Use Data.  Davisware may create statistical reports relating to the Software or, if applicable, the Subscription Services utilizing transaction data, so long as such reports contain only anonymous data that does not identify Customer or any specific transaction data, and such reports may be reported publicly.

(a) Davisware Indemnification.  Davisware shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Losses”) incurred by Customer resulting from any third-party claim, suit, action, or proceeding (“Third-Party Claim”) that the Software or any use of the Subscription in accordance with this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates such third party’s US patents, copyrights, or trade secrets.  If such a claim is made or appears possible, Customer agrees to permit Davisware, at Davisware’s sole discretion, to: (A) modify or replace the Software, or component or part thereof, to make it non-infringing; or (B) obtain the right for Customer to continue use. If Davisware determines that neither alternative is reasonably available, Davisware may terminate this Agreement, in its entirety or with respect to the affected component or part, effective immediately on written notice to Customer.  This Section 8(a) will not apply to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from: (A) Customer’s violation of this Agreement; (B) revisions to the Software made by a party other than Davisware or Davisware’s designee, or without Davisware’s written consent; (C) Customer Information; (D) Customer’s failure to incorporate Updates, Upgrades or modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement; (E) use of the Software in combination with hardware, software, or technology: (x) not provided by Davisware; (y) that is specifically forbidden by the Documentation; or (z) that is not designated in the Documentation as available for interface with the Software, unless such hardware or software is a host computer, operating system, or other type of hardware or software necessary for the Software to perform a function listed in the Documentation.

(c) Indemnification Procedures. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any Third-Party Claim for which such Party believes it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a) or Section 8(b). The Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall cooperate with the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitor shall promptly assume control of the defense and investigation of such Third-Party Claim and shall employ counsel of its choice to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing. The Indemnitor shall not settle any Third-Party Claim on any terms or in any manner that adversely affects the rights of any Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnitor fails or refuses to assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right, but no obligation, to defend against such Third-Party Claim, including settling such Third-Party Claim after giving notice to the Indemnitor, in each case in such manner and on such terms as the Indemnitee may deem appropriate. The Indemnitee’s failure to perform any obligations under this Subsection 8(c) will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Section 8, except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(d) Sole Remedy. THIS SECTION 8 SETS FORTH CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDY AND DAVISWARE’S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THE SOFTWARE OR SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES INFRINGE, MISAPPROPRIATE, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATE ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

7.2 Term of Support Document. This Support Document will remain in effect concurrent with the Master Agreement and will terminate or renew subject to the termination and renewal provisions of the Master Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Support Services for Perpetual Software shall be automatically renewed for successive twelve (12) month periods (each, a “Support Period“) unless Customer provides Davisware with written notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the-current annual period. Support fees for any additional Software purchases will be prorated to achieve a common annual Support Period with existing licenses but does not relieve Customer of its payment obligations for the remainder of the Support Period. For avoidance of doubt, Customer is responsible to pay the entire Support Fee for the Initial Support Period on all additional purchases of Software regardless of whether such purchase is co-termed and prorated for purposes of invoicing. To the extent a Customer is permitted to add Authorized Users or Software within the Product Line to a Perpetual Software deployment, Customer must be current on all Updates and Upgrades for all Software within the same Product Line and deployment.

7.3 Reinstatement. Reinstatement of lapsed or cancelled Support Services for Perpetual Software will be subject to payment by Customer of: (a) the then-current annual Support Fees payable for the 12-month period beginning on the date of reinstatement; and (b) the aggregate Support Fees that would have been payable for the relevant Software during the period of lapse in the absence of termination or non-renewal, provided that: (i) the combined reinstatement fees are paid within twelve (12) months after the date of the lapse; and (ii) Customer pays Davisware a Support reinstatement fee equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the total Support Fees payable to Davisware for all applicable Software licensed by Customer.

7.7 No Personal Information. For certain services provided under this Support Document, the transmission of machine logs may be required. For avoidance of doubt, Customer shall not include any business sensitive and/or personal information via such transmissions. Accordingly, Davisware shall not be deemed a Data Processor under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the “GDPR“) in providing support for the Software. However, should Customer send to Davisware any log files or other information containing personal data, Davisware will comply with Davisware’s privacy policies as may be modified by Davisware from time to time.
