The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of the Discloser to the directors, employees and contractors of the Recipient and its Affiliates who are subject to obligations to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information at least as protective of the Confidential Information as those contained in this Section and who have a bona fide need to know the Confidential Information in order to use the Services or to perform this Agreement.

"Confidential Information" means any data or information that is disclosed by the Discloser to the Recipient and not generally publicly available in whatever form, whenever and however disclosed, including data, code, algorithms, pricing, financials, trade secrets, proprietary information, personal identifiable data or any other data or information that is either identified as confidential at the time of disclosure, or which by its nature and/or the circumstances of disclosure a reasonable business person would consider to be confidential.

Confidential Information shall not include information that:

  2. is information that the Recipient had rightfully in its possession without restriction as to use or disclosure before receiving such information from the Discloser,
  3. is hereafter rightfully obtained by the Recipient from a third party without restriction as to use or disclosure, provided that such third party is not known by the Recipient to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information, or
  4. information independently developed by the Recipient without any reference to, reliance on or use of the Discloser's Confidential Information.

For clarity, the Services and Software are the Confidential Information of Fincent. In addition, the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of the Discloser to the extent compelled by law or a court or other judicial or administrative body, provided that the Recipient notifies the Discloser of such compelled disclosure promptly and in writing (to the extent legally permitted) and cooperates with the Discloser, at the Discloser's reasonable request and expense, in any lawful action to contest or limit the scope of such required disclosure.

All Confidential Information remains the sole property of the Discloser. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to grant or does grant, either express, implied or otherwise, to a party any rights in or to the other party's Confidential Information, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

All confidentiality obligations created by this Section with respect to Confidential Information that does not constitute a trade secret under applicable law shall survive until the three year anniversary of this Agreement's termination or expiration, and all confidentiality obligations with respect to Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret under applicable law shall survive until, if ever, such Confidential Information is no longer a trade secret.

11.1 Intellectual Property
Fincent, if notified promptly in writing and given authority, control, information and assistance at Fincent's expense for defense and settlement of same, shall defend Customer against any third party action, suit or proceeding brought against Customer so far as it is based on a claim that the use of the Services infringes a United States patent or copyright, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Customer for:

  1. all attorneys' fees, and court or tribunal costs incurred by Fincent with respect to defense and settlement of such third party claim,
  2. any judgments, fines, costs and penalties awarded by any court or tribunal against Fincent and/or its customers, including Customer, for such third party claim and
  3. any amounts paid in settlement of such third party claim as mutually agreed by Fincent and the third party in such claim.

If Fincent reasonably believes that use of the Services is likely to be enjoined, or if the Services are held to infringe such patent or copyright, Fincent shall, at its expense and at its sole option:

  1. procure for Customer the right to continue using the Services,
  2. replace the Services with other non-infringing services of substantially equivalent functionality or
  3. modify the Services so that there is no infringement, provided that such modified services provide substantially equivalent functionality.

If, in Fincent's reasonable opinion, the remedies above are infeasible or commercially impracticable, Fincent may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement and refund Customer a pro-rated amount of the applicable Fees for the Services pre-paid by Customer covering the whole months following the effective date of such early termination. Customer shall not settle any matter without the prior written approval of Fincent.

11.2 Exceptions
The indemnification obligation in this Section 11 will not apply to the extent the infringement is caused by any of the following:

  1. the Services are modified in any unauthorized manner by Customer or any Authorized User, or a third party not authorized by Fincent,
  2. the Services are combined by Customer or any Authorized User with other software, hardware, application or process not authorized by Fincent,

12. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL FINCENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE OR KIND ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER DATA GENERATED THROUGH THE SERVICES, OR USE THEREOF OR THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. FINCENT'S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE SERVICES FOR THE SIX MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

No claim against Fincent may be brought more than one year after the facts giving rise to such claim have arisen. The limitations of liability and exclusions of damages in this Section form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties and shall survive and apply even if any remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed its essential purpose.

This Agreement, together with the Orders, is the parties' entire agreement with respect to its subject matter, and supersedes any prior communications, discussions, understandings or agreements. Any use of Customer's pre-printed forms, such as purchase orders, are for convenience only, and any pre-printed terms and conditions set forth in Customer's pre-printed forms that are in addition to, inconsistent or in conflict with, or different than, this Agreement shall be given no force or effect. Neither commencement of performance, nor failure to object to any additional or different terms and conditions from Customer, by Fincent shall constitute an acceptance of any terms and conditions proposed by Customer that are in addition to, inconsistent or in conflict with, or different than, this Agreement. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived with the written consent of duly authorized representatives of the parties. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be replaced by an enforceable provision that comes closest to the parties' intent underlying the unenforceable provision, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
