4. CONFIDENTIALITY

4.1 Confidential Information.  During the term of this Agreement, each Party will regard any information provided to it by the other Party and designated in writing as proprietary or confidential to be confidential (“Confidential Information”).  Confidential Information shall also include information which, to a reasonable person familiar with the disclosing Party’s business and the industry in which it operates, is of a confidential or proprietary nature. Any Policies made available by StationSmarts in connection with the Policy Builder Product shall be deemed the Confidential Information of StationSmarts.   The receiving Party shall hold in confidence, and shall not disclose (or permit or suffer its personnel to disclose) any Confidential Information to any person or entity except to a director, officer, employee, outside consultant, or advisor (collectively “Representatives”) who have a need to know such Confidential Information in the course of the performance of their duties for the receiving Party and who are bound by a duty of confidentiality no less protective of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information than this Agreement.  The receiving Party and its Representatives shall use such Confidential Information only for the purpose for which it was disclosed and shall not use or exploit such Confidential Information for its own benefit or the benefit of another without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party.  Each Party accepts responsibility for the actions of its Representatives and shall protect the other Party’s Confidential Information in the same manner as it protects its own valuable confidential information, but in no event shall less than reasonable care be used.  The Parties expressly agree that the terms and pricing of this Agreement are Confidential Information and the Customer further agrees that it shall not use the Services for the purposes of conducting comparative analysis, evaluations or product benchmarks with respect to the Services and will not publicly post any analysis or reviews of the Services without StationSmarts’ prior written approval.  A receiving Party shall promptly notify the disclosing Party upon becoming aware of a breach or threatened breach hereunder, and shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the disclosing Party in enforcing its rights.

4.2 Exclusions.  Information will not be deemed Confidential Information hereunder if such information: (i) is known prior to receipt from the disclosing Party, without any obligation of confidentiality; (ii) becomes known to the receiving Party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; (iii) becomes publicly known or otherwise publicly available, except through a breach of this Agreement; or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party without use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.  The receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information pursuant to the requirements of applicable law, legal process or government regulation, provided that it gives the disclosing Party reasonable prior written notice to permit the disclosing Party to contest such disclosure, and such disclosure is otherwise limited to the required disclosure.

4.3 Injunctive Relief.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, both Parties acknowledge that any use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement may cause the disclosing Party irreparable and immediate damage for which remedies other than injunctive relief may be inadequate.  Therefore, both Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedy to which the disclosing Party may be entitled hereunder, at law or equity, the disclosing Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) to restrain such use in addition to other appropriate remedies available under applicable law.

5. WARRANTIES

5.1 General.  Each party represents and warrants that it (i) has the legal power to enter into and perform under this Agreement; and (ii) it will comply with all laws and regulations in connection with its performance hereunder.  StationSmarts has implemented and will maintain during the Term security measures reasonably designed to protect the confidentiality, security and availability of the Customer Data.

5.2 Subscription Service Warranty.  StationSmarts warrants that during the term of any Sales Order for the Subscription Service, the Subscription Service will conform, in all material respects, with the Documentation.  StationSmarts does not warrant that it will be able to correct all reported defects or that use of the Subscription Service will be uninterrupted or error free.  StationSmarts makes no warranty regarding features or services provided by third parties.  For any breach of the above warranty, StationSmarts will, at no additional cost to Customer, provide remedial services necessary to enable the Subscription Service to conform to the warranty.  The Customer will provide StationSmarts with a reasonable opportunity to remedy any breach and reasonable assistance in remedying any defects.  The remedies set out in this subsection are the Customer’s sole remedies for breach of the above warranty.  Such warranty shall only apply if the Subscription Service has been utilized by the Customer in accordance with the Sales Order and this Agreement.  StationSmarts does not make any warranties whatsoever about the Policies.  It is Customer’s sole obligation to determine whether to implement such Policies, whether such Policies are suitable for Customer or meet its requirements or obligations or comply with applicable law.

5.3 Professional Services Warranty.  StationSmarts warrants that any Professional Services provided hereunder shall be provided in a competent manner and in accordance with any specifications set forth in the Sales Order in all material respects.  StationSmarts further warrants that any Work Product provided pursuant to any Professional Services engagement shall comply, in all material respects, with the specifications set forth in the applicable Sales Order.  If the Services are not performed as warranted or the Work Product does not so comply, then, upon the Customer’s written request, StationSmarts shall promptly re-perform, or cause to be re-performed, such Professional Services, at no additional charge to the Customer.  Such warranties and other obligations shall survive for thirty (30) days following the completion of the Professional Services or the delivery of each applicable portion of the Work Product, as the case may be.  Such re-performance shall be the Customer’s exclusive remedy and StationSmarts’ sole liability for any such non-performance.

5.4 No Other Warranty. STATIONSMARTS DOES NOT REPRESENT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ALL ERRORS IN THE SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED OR THAT THE OVERALL SYSTEM THAT MAKES THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE AVAILABLE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE INTERNET, OTHER TRANSMISSION NETWORKS, AND CUSTOMER’S LOCAL NETWORK AND EQUIPMENT) WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

6.1 Consequential Damage Exclusion.  Neither Party will be liable to the other or any third party for loss of profits or for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or exemplary damages (including without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, loss of goodwill, business interruption, loss of business information and/or data) in connection with the performance of the Services, or the performance of any other obligations under this Agreement, even if it is aware of the possibility of the occurrence of such damages.

6.2 Limitation of Liability. The total cumulative liability of StationSmarts to Customer for any and all claims and damages under this Agreement, whether arising by statute, contract, tort or otherwise, will not exceed the Services fees paid by Customer to StationSmarts under the Sales Order for the Services which form the subject of the claim during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.  The provisions of this Agreement allocate risks between the Parties.  The pricing set forth in each Sales Order reflects this allocation of risk and the limitation of liability specified herein.

6.3 Personal Injury or death. Nothing in this Agreement limits a Party’s liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence.

7. TERM

7.1 Term.  This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue in effect until otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 7.2 below.  The term of each Sales Order for the Subscription Service shall be set forth on the Sales Order.  StationSmarts reserves the right to change the rates, applicable charges and usage policies and to introduce new charges, for such Sales Order upon providing the Customer with written notice thereof (which notice may be provided by e-mail) at least 60 days prior to the then current renewal date of the Sales Order.  Any such changes or new charges will only be applicable to such renewal term.

7.2 Termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may terminate this Agreement or any Sales Order (i) immediately in the event of a material breach of this Agreement or any such Sales Order by the other Party that is not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice from the other Party, or (ii) immediately if the other Party ceases doing business or is the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing.  Termination of a Sales Order shall not be deemed a termination of this Agreement.  Termination of this Agreement shall, however, terminate all outstanding Sales Orders.  Either Party may also terminate this Agreement upon no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other Party for any reason, if at such time there are no outstanding Sales Orders then currently in effect.

All rights and obligations of the Parties which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination or expiration will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement and each Sales Order.

7.3 Effect of Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement or any applicable Sales Order, StationSmarts shall no longer provide the applicable Services to the Customer and the Customer shall promptly cease and cause its Users to promptly cease using the Services.  The Customer shall pay StationSmarts for all fees that had accrued prior to the termination date. Except as expressly provided herein, termination of this Agreement by either party will be a nonexclusive remedy for breach and will be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of such party.  Upon termination of this Agreement, each party shall promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession. Within thirty (30) days following termination, the Customer may retrieve the Customer Data in accordance with established and reasonable system access procedures.

The rights and remedies granted the Customer under this Section 9.1 state StationSmarts’s entire liability, and the Customer’s exclusive remedy, with respect to any claim of infringement of the intellectual property rights of a third party, whether arising under statute, common law or otherwise.

9.2. Customer Indemnity.  Subject to Section 9.3 below, the Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold StationSmarts and its Affiliates harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from a claim, suit, action, or proceeding brought by any third party against StationSmarts or any of its Affiliates that arises out of or results from a claim arising out of the Customer Data or Customer’s use or reliance on any Policies.

9.3 Indemnification Procedure. The indemnified Party shall (i) promptly notify the indemnifying Party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying Party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby, and (ii) allow the indemnifying Party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement; provided that the indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim without the indemnified Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The indemnified Party shall also provide the indemnifying Party with reasonable cooperation and assistance in defending such claim (at the indemnifying Party’s cost).
