The Recipient shall not: (a) use any Confidential Information of the Discloser for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, except with the Discloser’s prior written permission, or (b) disclose or make the Discloser’s Confidential Information available to any party, except those of its employees, contractors, and agents that have signed an agreement containing disclosure and use provisions substantially similar to those set forth herein and have a “need to know” in order to carry out the purpose of this Agreement. Each party agrees to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other party in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential information of like kind, but in no event shall either party exercise less than reasonable care in protecting such Confidential Information. If the Recipient is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosure, it shall provide the Disclosure with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the other party’s cost, if the other party wishes to contest the disclosure. The obligations set forth in Section 3.1 and not this Section 4 apply to Customer Data.
5. Ownership, Feedback, and Aggregated Data.
5.1. Customer Data. As between ActivTrak and Customer, Customer owns its Customer Data. Customer hereby grants to ActivTrak, its Affiliates and applicable contractors a worldwide, limited-term license to: (i) collect, process, modify, format, use, host, copy, transmit, and display Customer Data; and (ii) host and store the Customer Data on ActivTrak’s servers or ActivTrak’s agent’s servers, as reasonably necessary for ActivTrak to provide the Service in accordance with this Agreement and the DPA. Customer represents and warrants to ActivTrak that (i) Customer has sufficient rights in the Customer Data to grant ActivTrak the rights granted under these Terms, and (ii) Customer Data does not infringe or otherwise violate the rights of any third party.
Subject to the limited licenses granted herein, ActivTrak acquires no right, title or interest from Customer or Customer’s licensors under this Agreement in or to any Customer Data. Customer shall be responsible for the accuracy, quality and legality of Customer Data and the means by which Customer acquired Customer Data. ActivTrak shall use Customer Data solely in accordance with its Privacy Policy and the DPA. ActivTrak disclaims any responsibility for disclosure, modification or deletion of Customer Data resulting from access or use of any third party service or products.
5.2. Blind Data. ActivTrak has the right to use, store, disclose, transfer, exploit, collect, develop, create, extract, compile, synthesize, analyze and commercialize all information, data, statistics and other content derived from Aggregated Data (collectively, “Blind Data”). Blind Data will be owned solely by ActivTrak and may be used for any lawful business purpose without a duty of accounting to Customer. “Aggregated Data” means Customer Data that is: (i) anonymized and not identifiable to any person or entity; (ii) combined with the data of other customers or additional data sources; and (iii) presented in a way which does not reveal Customer’s identity.
5.3. Feedback. Customer, its Users, or third parties operating on Customer’s behalf may provide suggestions, recommendations or other feedback, or submit requests for enhancements or updates (“Feedback”). Customer hereby grants to ActivTrak an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, sub licensable, royalty-free, transferable right and license to use, reproduce, disclose, exhibit, display, transform, creative derivative works of, and distribute any such Feedback without limitation. Further, ActivTrak will be free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques contained in such Feedback for any purpose whatsoever, including, without limitation, developing, making, marketing, distributing and selling products and services incorporating such Feedback, without any notice or attribution, payment or other compensation to Customer. ActivTrak will have no obligation to consider, use, return or preserve any Feedback that Customer provides to ActivTrak. Any Feedback Customer provides to ActivTrak may or may not be treated confidentially by ActivTrak, and ActivTrak will have no obligation or liability to Customer for the use or disclosure of any Feedback. ActivTrak will exclusively own any improvements or modifications to the Service based on or derived from any Feedback, including all intellectual property rights therein or thereto.
5.4. ActivTrak Ownership of the Service. The Service, Documentation, and Confidential Information of ActivTrak involve valuable intellectual property rights of ActivTrak or its licensors and are protected under both United States and foreign laws. No title to, interest in or ownership of the Service, Documentation, or Confidential Information of ActivTrak, or any intellectual property rights associated therewith is transferred to Customer or any other person or entity under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, ActivTrak reserves all of its intellectual property rights in the Service, Documentation, and Confidential Information of ActivTrak. ActivTrak reserves all rights not expressly granted to Customer in these Terms, and except for the rights expressly granted under this Agreement, ActivTrak and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Service and Documentation, including all related intellectual property rights inherent therein. No rights are granted to Customer hereunder other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Any use of the Service, Documentation or Confidential Information other than as specifically authorized herein, without ActivTrak’s prior written permission, is strictly prohibited and will terminate the license granted herein and violate our intellectual property rights. Any applications included in the Service are licensed (not sold), and if Customer fails to comply with any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, Customer will immediately cease using the applicable application and remove (that is, uninstall and delete) the applicable application from its device(s).
5.5. Statistical Usage Data. ActivTrak owns the statistical usage data derived from the operation of the Service, including data regarding web applications utilized in connection with the Service, configurations, log data, and the performance results for the Service (“Usage Data”). Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting ActivTrak from utilizing the Usage Data to optimize and improve the Service or otherwise operate ActivTrak’s business; provided that if ActivTrak provides Usage Data to third parties, such Usage Data shall be anonymized and presented in the aggregate so that it will not disclose the identity of Customer or any User(s) to any third party.
6. Fees, Expenses, and Taxes.
6.1. Fees. Customer will pay ActivTrak the fees set forth in the applicable Order Form (“Fees”) in accordance with this Agreement and the Order Form. If not otherwise specified on an Order Form, Fees will be due upon receipt of an invoice. Any late payments shall be subject to a service charge equal to 1.5% per month of the amount due or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less (plus the costs of collection). Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all Fees paid and payable to ActivTrak hereunder are non-cancelable and non-refundable. This includes new license purchases and renewals. If not otherwise specified on an Order Form, the service auto-renews at the end of each term and proper notice from Customer to cancel is required as set forth in Section 11.1. If Customer fails to pay any amounts due under this Agreement by the due date, in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have under this Agreement or by matter of law, ActivTrak reserves the right to suspend and/or the Service immediately.
6.2. Taxes. Fees do not include any local, state, federal or foreign taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including value added, use or withholding taxes (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder (excluding taxes based on ActivTrak’s net income or property) unless Customer provides ActivTrak with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. The limitations set forth in Section 8 shall not apply to Customer’s payment obligations under this Section 6.
6.3. Recurring Subscriptions. Customer’s purchase of the Online Services may require enrollment in a payment plan involving automatic renewal (a “Recurring Subscription”). If Customer purchases such an Online Service, ActivTrak will maintain Customer’s account information and charge that account automatically upon the renewal with no further action required by Customer. The length of the Recurring Subscription will be provided when Customer makes such purchase. The Recurring Subscription will automatically renew unless terminated in accordance with Section 11. If a Recurring Subscription is cancelled before the end of the current subscription period, ActivTrak will not refund any subscription fees already paid. ActivTrak may change the prices charged for Recurring Subscriptions at any time by posting updated pricing through the Online Services; provided, however, that the prices for the then-current Recurring Subscription will remain in force for the duration of the subscription period for which Customer has paid.
7. Warranties Disclaimer.
Online Service. ActivTrak warrants that during the Term: (i) the Online Service shall perform materially in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (ii) ActivTrak will employ industry-standard measures to test the Online Service to detect and remediate viruses, Trojan horses, worms, logic bombs, or other harmful code or programs designed to negatively impact the operation or performance of the Service. As Customer’s exclusive remedy and ActivTrak’s entire liability for a breach of the warranties set forth in this, ActivTrak shall use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the non-conforming Online Service at no additional charge to Customer, and in the event ActivTrak fails to successfully correct the Online Service within a reasonable time of receipt of written notice from Customer detailing the breach, then Customer shall be entitled to terminate the applicable Online Service and receive an immediate refund of any prepaid, unused Fees for the non-conforming Online Service. The remedies set forth in this subsection shall be Customer’s sole remedy and ActivTrak’s sole liability for breach of these warranties. The warranties set forth in this Section shall apply only if the applicable Online Service has been utilized in accordance with the Documentation, this Agreement and applicable law.
7.1. Disclaimer. ACTIVTRAK EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN) RELATING TO THE SERVICE, SUPPORT SERVICE, ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, OR OTHER SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ALLEGED TO ARISE BY OPERATION OF LAW, BY REASON OF CUSTOM OR USAGE IN THE TRADE, BY COURSE OF DEALING OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE (WHETHER OR NOT ACTIVTRAK KNOWS, HAS REASON TO KNOW, HAS BEEN ADVISED, OR IS OTHERWISE AWARE OF ANY SUCH PURPOSE). ADDITIONALLY, ACTIVTRAK SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DELAYS, INTERRUPTIONS, SERVICE FAILURES AND OTHER PROBLEMS INHERENT IN USE OF THE INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, OR OTHER SYSTEMS OUTSIDE THE CONTROL OF ACTIVTRAK. THE PARTIES ARE NOT RELYING AND HAVE NOT RELIED ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER REGARDING THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ACTIVTRAK DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY WHATSOEVER IN THE EVENT THAT CUSTOMER COMBINES, INTEGRATES, OR MODIFIES THE SERVICES WITH ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICES.
8. Limitation of Liability.
8.1. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S (OR ACTIVTRAK’S THIRD PARTY LICENSORS’) BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR TERMS AND CONDITIONS RELATED THERETO UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY (A) FOR ERROR OR INTERRUPTION OF USE, LOSS OR INACCURACY OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, (B) FOR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES, RIGHTS, OR TECHNOLOGY, (C) FOR ANY LOST OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, BREACH OF DATA SECURITY, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR LOSS OF REVENUES, OR (D) FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
8.2. IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY TOGETHER WITH ALL OF ITS AFFILIATES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER AND ITS AFFILIATES HEREUNDER TO ACTIVTRAK DURING THE TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE FIRST INCIDENT OUT WHICH THE LIABILITY AROSE. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION SHALL APPLY WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, BUT WILL NOT LIMIT CUSTOMER’S AND CUSTOMER’S AFFILIATES’ PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE ‘FEES’ SECTION ABOVE.
8.3. THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT THESE LIMITATIONS WILL SURVIVE AND APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THESE TERMS IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
9. Indemnification.
9.1. ActivTrak Indemnification Obligation. Subject to Section 9.3, ActivTrak will defend Customer from any and all claims, demands, suits or proceedings brought against Customer by a third party alleging that the Service, as provided by ActivTrak to Customer under this Agreement, infringes any third-party patent, copyright, or trademark or misappropriate any trade secret of any third party (each, an “Infringement Claim”). ActivTrak will indemnify Customer for all damages, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction, or paid to a third party in accordance with a settlement agreement signed by ActivTrak, in connection with an Infringement Claim. In the event of any such Infringement Claim, ActivTrak may, at its sole option: (i) obtain the right to permit Customer to continue using the Service, (ii) modify or replace the relevant portion(s) of the Service with a non-infringing alternative having substantially equivalent performance within a reasonable period of time, or (iii) terminate this Agreement as to the infringing Service and refund to Customer any prepaid, unused Fees for such infringing Service hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ActivTrak will have no liability for any Infringement Claim of any kind to the extent that results from: (1) modifications to the Service made by a party other than ActivTrak, (2) the combination of the Service with other products, processes or technologies (where the infringement would have been avoided but for such combination), or (3) Customer’s use of the Service other than in accordance with the Documentation and this Agreement. The indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 9.1 are ActivTrak’s sole and exclusive obligations, and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedies, with respect to infringement or misappropriation of third-party intellectual property rights of any kind.
9.2. Customer Indemnification Obligation. Subject to Section 9.3, Customer will, at its sole expense, defend ActivTrak from any and all claims, demands, suits or proceedings brought against ActivTrak and its affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents by a third party alleging a violation of a third party’s rights arising from: (i) Customer’s provision of the Customer Data; (ii) any alleged or actual breach of Customer’s obligations under this Agreement and the DPA, (iii) Customer’s failure to comply with applicable law, rule, and regulation, and (iv) Customer’s use of the Services. Customer will indemnify ActivTrak for all damages, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction, or paid to a third party in accordance with a settlement agreement signed by Customer.
9.3. Indemnity Requirements. The party seeking indemnity under this Section 9 (“Indemnitee”) must give the other party (“Indemnitor”) the following: (a) prompt written notice of any claim for which the Indemnitee intends to seek indemnity, (b) all cooperation and assistance reasonably requested by the Indemnitor in the defense of the claim, at the Indemnitor’s sole expense, and (c) sole control over the defense and settlement of the claim, provided that the Indemnitee may participate in the defense of the claim at its sole expense.
10. Insurance.
ActivTrak has and will maintain in full force and effect during the Term and for a period of two (2) years after expiry or earlier termination, sufficient levels of cyber and professional liability insurance with a reputable insurer to cover potential liabilities of ActivTrak to the Customer arising out of or otherwise in relation to this Agreement. Upon Customer’s reasonable request, ActivTrak shall provide to Client certificates from ActivTrak’s insurers stating the amount of insurance coverage, the nature of such coverage insurance and expiry date of each applicable policy.
11. Term, Termination, and Effect of Termination.
11.1. Term. The term of this Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues until the stated term in all Order Forms has expired or has otherwise been terminated. Subscriptions to the Online Service commence on the date, and are for a period, as set forth in the applicable Order Form (“Term”). Upon expiration of the Term, unless otherwise stated on an applicable Order Form, the Online Service will automatically renew for additional terms equal in duration to the initial Term (each a “Renewal Term”), unless and until either party gives the other notice of non-renewal of at least (30) days prior to the end of the then-current Term or Renewal Term. If Customer fails to provide at least (30) days notice, the Customer will be responsible for the full Renewal Term fees.
11.2. Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party in the event that (i) such other party materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days of such notice, or (ii) immediately in the event the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. Upon any termination for cause by Customer pursuant to this Section 11.2, ActivTrak will refund Customer a pro-rata portion of any prepaid Fees that cover the remainder of the applicable Order Form Term or Renewal Term after the effective date of termination.
11.3. Retrieval of Customer Data. Prior to the effective date of termination of this Agreement, Customer may use the export features within the Online Service to export Customer Data in .csv, .zip format or send them to a connected Google Drive. After such effective date of termination, ActivTrak shall have no obligation to maintain or provide any Customer Data and shall thereafter, unless legally prohibited, be entitled to delete all Customer Data by deletion of Customer’s unique instance of the Online Service. In the event Customer enters into a FSA as contemplated in Section 11.4(ii), ActivTrak may retain some or all Customer Data in accordance with such FSA. However, ActivTrak will not be required to remove copies of the Customer Data from its backup media and servers until such time as the backup copies are scheduled to be deleted in the normal course of business; provided that in all cases ActivTrak will continue to protect the Customer Data in accordance with this Agreement. Additionally, during the Term, Customer may extract Customer Data from the Online Service using ActivTrak’s standard web services.
11.4. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason: (i) all rights and subscriptions granted to Customer including all Order Forms will immediately terminate and Customer will cease using the Service (except as otherwise permitted under Section 11.3 (“Retrieval of Customer Data”) or Section 11.4(ii)) and ActivTrak Confidential Information, and (ii) Customer will enter into a subscription under the terms of the Freemium Services Agreement (“FSA”). In the event Customer does not wish to enter into a subscription under the terms of the FSA, Customer will complete this form to request a complete termination of its subscription to the ActivTrak services and deletion of its Customer Data. Termination for any reason other than termination for cause by Customer pursuant to Section 11.2(i) shall not relieve Customer of the obligation to pay all future amounts due under all Order Forms. The sections titled “Definitions,” “Confidentiality,” “Ownership; Aggregated Data,” “Fees, Expenses and Taxes,” “Warranty Disclaimer,” “Limitation of Liability,” “Indemnification,” “Term, Termination, and Effect of Termination,” and “General” shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
12. General.
12.1. Assignment. Neither the rights nor the obligations arising under this Agreement are assignable or transferable by Customer or ActivTrak without the other party’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void and without effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may freely assign this Agreement in its entirety (including all Order Forms), upon notice and without the consent of the other party, to an Affiliate or to its successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, provided that all fees owed and due have been paid.
12.2. Controlling Law, Attorneys’ Fees and Severability. This Agreement and any disputes arising out of or related hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws rules or the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. With respect to all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and Federal courts located in Travis County, Texas. In any action to enforce this Agreement the prevailing party will be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
12.3. Notices. All legal notices hereunder shall be in writing and given upon (i) personal delivery, in which case notice shall be deemed given on the day of such hand delivery, (ii) by overnight courier, in which case notice shall be deemed given one (1) business day after deposit with a recognized courier for U.S. deliveries (or three (3) business days for international deliveries); and (iii) by email to [email protected].
12.4. Customer Mention. ActivTrak is authorized to use Customer logo and trademark for promotional purposes, including as a customer reference and providing testimonials for the Service.
12.5. Force Majeure. If the performance of this Agreement or any obligation hereunder (other than obligations of payment) is prevented or restricted by reasons beyond the reasonable control of a party including but not limited to Acts of God, computer related attacks, hacking, pandemic, government regulation or acts of terrorism (a “Force Majeure Event”), the party so affected shall be excused from such performance and liability to the extent of such prevention or restriction.
12.6. Equitable Relief. Due to the unique nature of the parties’ Confidential Information disclosed hereunder, there can be no adequate remedy at law for a party’s breach of its obligations hereunder, and any such breach may result in irreparable harm to the non-breaching party. Therefore, upon any such breach or threat thereof, the party alleging breach shall be entitled to seek injunctive and other appropriate equitable relief in addition to any other remedies available to it, without the requirement of posting a bond.
12.7. Independent Contractors. The parties shall be independent contractors under this Agreement, and nothing herein shall constitute either party as the employer, employee, agent, or representative of the other party, or both parties as joint venturers or partners for any purpose. There are no third-party beneficiaries under this Agreement.
12.8. Export Compliance. Each party represents that it is not named on any U.S. government list of persons or entities with which U.S. persons are prohibited from transacting, nor owned or controlled by or acting on behalf of any such persons or entities, and Customer will not access or use the Service in any manner that would cause any party to violate any U.S. or international embargo, export control law, or prohibition.
12.9. Anti-Corruption.
