You shall permit C&D to audit your use of the Application to confirm compliance with this Agreement. Such audit may be conducted at C&D’s expense and in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with your normal conduct of business. If any audit reveals that you have underpaid, then without limitation on any other right or remedy available to C&D, you shall pay to C&D within 10 business days of the date of the
relevant audit the applicable amount of the underpayment.
2. Restrictions
You agree not to, and you will not permit others to: (a) attempt to copy, modify, duplicate, create derivative works from, frame, mirror, republish, download, display, transmit, or distribute all or any portion of the Application in any form or media or by any means; or (b) attempt to reverse compile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise reduce to human-perceivable form all or any part of the Application; or (c) access all or any part of the Application in order to build a product or service that competes with the Application; or (d) license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, display, disclose, or otherwise commercially exploit the Application or its output (including, without limitation, reports and analytics), or otherwise make the Application or its output (including, without limitation, reports and analytics) available to any third party (e.g., as a service bureau); or (e) circumvent or disable any security or other technological features or measures of the Application.
3. Intellectual Property and Confidentiality
a. The Application and its output (including, without limitation, reports and analytics), including without limitation all copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights are, and shall remain, the sole and exclusive property of C&D. Any feedback, comments, ideas, improvements or suggestions (collectively, "Suggestions") that you provide to C&D with respect to the Application shall remain the sole and exclusive property of C&D. To the extent you have or obtain any intellectual property rights in or to such Suggestions, you hereby assign all such rights to C&D free of all liens and encumbrances. C&D shall be free to use, copy, modify, publish, or redistribute the Suggestions for any purpose and in any way without any credit or any compensation to you.
b. “Customer Data” means the data entered by you or your authorized users for the
purpose of using the Application or facilitating your use of the Application. C&D hereby
acknowledges and agrees that all rights, title and interest in and to Customer Data are
and shall remain your property, and all intellectual property rights including copyright,
trademark, and trade secret rights in Customer Data are and will remain your property.
You hereby grant to C&D, during the term of this Agreement the necessary rights or
license to use, reproduce, promote, distribute, modify, publicly display and perform,
cache, and transmit Customer Data via the Application solely as necessary for the
purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, C&D also has, and you
hereby grant to C&D, a perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive right and
license to use any Customer Data in de-identified aggregated form (i) for C&D’s internal
business purposes, and (ii) to make any modifications or improvements to any
Application and to offer such modifications or improvements on a commercial basis to
any third party. For the avoidance of doubt, “Customer Data” does not include any
Application output (including, without limitation, reports and analytics), all of which is
C&D’s property and C&D’s Confidential Information.
c. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all confidential information disclosed
by or otherwise obtained from a party (“Disclosing Party”) to or by the other party
(“Receiving Party”), whether orally, visually or in writing, that is designated as
confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature
of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Your “Confidential Information”
includes Customer Data and the content of reports produced by the Application. C&D’s
“Confidential Information” includes each Application and all documentation supplied by
C&D, and any information pertaining to Third Party Services (defined in Section 6).
However, “Confidential Information” does not include any information that (i) is or
becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the
Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the
Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is
received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing
Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without the use of or
reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. For the avoidance of
doubt, any Suggestions shall be deemed C&D’s Confidential Information.
d. Except as otherwise permitted in writing by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party
shall (i) protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information using the same degree of
care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information (but in
no event less than reasonable care), (ii) not disclose or use any Confidential Information
of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and (iii)
limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its employees,
contractors and agents who need such access for purposes consistent with this
Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party
containing protections no less stringent than those herein. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, C&D also is permitted to disclose your Confidential Information on a need to
know basis to employees, contractors and agents of its direct and indirect parents,
subsidiaries and sister entities. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential
Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the
Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to
the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if
the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled
by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil
proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not
contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its
reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential
Information.

responsibility to you or any other person or entity for any Third-Party Services. Third-Party Services and

including reasonable attorneys' fees, due to or arising out of your: (i) use of the
Application; (ii) violation of this Agreement or any law or regulation; or (iii) violation of
any right of a third party.
b. If your use of the Application in accordance with this Agreement is, or in C&D’s
reasonable opinion is likely to become, the subject of any claim asserting infringement
or misappropriation of any third-party intellectual property rights then C&D may, at
C&D’s sole option: (i) procure a license to allow you to continue using the Application;
(ii) replace or modify the Application in a functionally equivalent manner so that it no
longer infringes; or (iii) terminate your right with respect to the Application and return
to you on a pro rata basis the portion of license fees pre-paid by you with respect to the
Application. Upon C&D providing you with any replacement or modified Application,
you are obligated to use such replacement or modified Application and to cease using
the prior Application.

DEFECTS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE
LAW, C&D, ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ITS AFFILIATES AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE
LICENSORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS,
IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NONINFRINGEMENT,
AND WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF
PERFORMANCE, USAGE OR TRADE PRACTICE. WITHOUT LIMITATION TO THE FOREGOING, C&D PROVIDES
NO WARRANTY OR UNDERTAKING, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND THAT THE
APPLICATION WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, ACHIEVE ANY INTENDED RESULTS, BE COMPATIBLE OR
WORK WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE, APPLICATIONS, SYSTEMS OR SERVICES, OPERATE WITHOUT
INTERRUPTION, MEET ANY PERFORMANCE OR RELIABILITY STANDARDS OR BE ERROR FREE OR THAT ANY
ERRORS OR DEFECTS CAN OR WILL BE CORRECTED.
b. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, NEITHER C&D NOR ANY C&D'S PROVIDER MAKES ANY
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED: (A) AS TO THE OPERATION OR
AVAILABILITY OF THE APPLICATION, OR THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, AND MATERIALS OR PRODUCTS
INCLUDED THEREON; (B) THAT THE APPLICATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; (C) AS TO
THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR CURRENCY OF ANY INFORMATION OR CONTENT PROVIDED THROUGH THE

OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
c. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of or limitations on implied warranties or
the limitations on the applicable statutory rights of a consumer, so some or all of the
above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.
11. Limitation of Liability
a. Notwithstanding ANY DAMAGES THAT YOU MIGHT INCUR, THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF C&D AND ANY OF
ITS SUPPLIERS UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ALL OF

INFORMATION, FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, FOR PERSONAL INJURY, FOR LOSS OF PRIVACY ARISING OUT
OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APPLICATION, THIRD-PARTY
SOFTWARE AND/OR THIRD-PARTY HARDWARE USED WITH THE APPLICATION, OR OTHERWISE IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT), EVEN IF C&D OR ANY SUPPLIER HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND EVEN IF THE REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL
PURPOSE.
c. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
12. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision will be changed
and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under
applicable law and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
13. Waiver
The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement does not waive any other
breach. The failure of any party to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in
accordance with this Agreement will not be a waiver of such party’s right to demand strict compliance in
the future, nor will the same be construed as a novation of this Agreement.
14. Export Compliance
You may not export or re-export the Application except as authorized by United States law and the laws
of the jurisdiction in which the Application was obtained. In particular, but without limitation, the
Application may not be exported or re-exported (a) into or to a nation or a resident of any U.S.

consent of C&D. Any attempted assignment or transfer without C&D’s consent is void. This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted
successors and assigns.
17. Force Majeure
Except for your obligation to pay license fees to C&D, neither party shall be liable in damages or have
the right to terminate this Agreement for any delay or default in performing hereunder if such delay or
default is caused by conditions beyond its control including but not limited to acts of God, government
restrictions (including the denial or cancellation of any export of other necessary license), wars,
insurrections and/or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the party whose performance is
affected (including mechanical, electronic, internet service provider or communications failure). Each
