“Confidential Information” means, with respect to a party (the “disclosing party”), information that pertains to such party’s business, including, without limitation, technical, marketing, financial, employee, planning, product roadmaps and documentation, performance results, pricing, and other proprietary information. Confidential Information will be designated and/or marked as confidential when disclosed, provided that any information that the party receiving such information (the “receiving party ”) knew or reasonably should have known is considered confidential or proprietary by the disclosing party will be considered Confidential Information of the disclosing party even if not designated or marked as such. The receiving party shall preserve the confidentiality of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information and treat such Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care that the receiving party uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but not less than a reasonable standard of care. The receiving party will use the Confidential Information of the disclosing party only to exercise rights and perform obligations under the Agreement. Confidential Information of the disclosing party will be disclosed only to those employees and contractors of the receiving party with a need to know such information. The receiving party shall not be liable to the disclosing party for the release of Confidential Information if such information (a) was known to the receiving party on or before the effective date of the Agreement without restriction as to use or disclosure, (b) is released into the public domain through no fault of the receiving party, (c) was independently developed solely by the employees of the receiving party who have not had access to Confidential Information, or (d) is divulged pursuant to any legal proceeding or otherwise as required by law, provided that, to the extent legally permissible, the receiving party will notify the disclosing party promptly of such required disclosure and reasonably assist the disclosing party in efforts to limit such required disclosure.
YOU ACCEPT THE SERVICES “AS IS,” WITH NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM STATUTE, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.
8.1. Indemnity
Thematic will defend at its own expense any action against you or your Users brought by a third party to the extent that the action is based upon a claim that the Services infringe or misappropriate any copyright or trade secret rights, and Thematic will pay those costs and damages finally awarded against you in any such action that are specifically attributable to such claim, or those costs and damages agreed to in a monetary settlement of such action. The foregoing obligations are conditioned on (i) you notifying Thematic promptly in writing of such action, (ii) you giving Thematic sole control of the defense thereof and any related settlement negotiations, and (iii) your cooperation and, at Thematic’s reasonable request and expense, assistance in such defense. If the Services become, or in Thematic’s opinion are likely to become, the subject of an infringement claim, Thematic may, at its option and expense, either procure for you the right to continue exercising the rights licensed to you in the Agreement or replace or modify the Services to render them non-infringing and functionally equivalent. If neither of the foregoing options is, in Thematic’s reasonable opinion, commercially reasonable, Thematic may terminate the Agreement and will refund to you a pro rata portion of any applicable prepaid fees. This Section 8.1 states Thematic’s entire liability and your sole and exclusive remedy for infringement claims and actions.
8.2. Exclusions.
Thematic’s obligations set forth in Section 8.1 shall not apply to the extent a claim arises out of (i) your breach of the Agreement, (ii) unauthorized use of the Services, or (iii) third-party components (including in combination with the Services) not provided by Thematic.
8.3. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER UNDER THEORY OF CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING ANY DAMAGE TO BUSINESS REPUTATION, LOST PROFITS, OR LOST DATA), WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR NOT AND WHETHER SUCH PARTY IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ADDITION, BOTH PARTIES’ AGGREGATE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER UNDER THEORY OF CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, THE TOTAL OF THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU UNDER THE AGREEMENT DURING THE ONE-YEAR PERIOD PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT SUCH LIABILITY FIRST ARISES. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO LIMITATION ON DIRECT LOSS, CLAIM, OR DAMAGES ARISING AS A RESULT OF AN INFRINGEMENT OF EITHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR IN CONNECTION WITH A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, neither party excludes or limits its liability for (i) personal injury or death caused by its negligence, (ii) fraud, or (iii) any other liability THAT may not be lawfully excluded or limited.

Each party will be excused from any delay or failure in performance hereunder caused by reason of any occurrence or contingency beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, earthquake, labor disputes and strikes, riots, war, and governmental requirements. The obligations and rights of the party so excused will be extended on a day-to-day basis for the period of time equal to that of the underlying cause of the delay. The parties are independent contractors with respect to each other, and nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as creating an employer-employee relationship, a partnership, or a joint venture between the parties. The Agreement controls the actions of all party representatives, officers, agents, employees, and associated individuals. The terms of the Agreement shall be binding on the parties and all successors to the foregoing. Except as otherwise set forth herein, neither party will assign, transfer, or delegate its rights or obligations under the Agreement (in whole or in part) without the other party’s prior written consent, except pursuant to a transfer of all or substantially all of such party’s business and assets, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock, or otherwise. Any attempted assignment, transfer, or delegation in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void. All modifications to or waivers of any terms of the Agreement must be in a writing that is signed by the parties hereto and expressly references the Agreement. The Agreement shall be governed by the laws of New Zealand, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The exclusive venue and jurisdiction for any and all disputes, claims, and controversies arising from or relating to the Agreement shall be subject of New Zealand Courts. Each party waives any objection (on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction, forum non conveniens, or otherwise) to the exercise of such jurisdiction over it by any such courts. If any provision of the Agreement conflicts with governing law or if any provision is held to be null, void, or otherwise ineffective or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the parties in accordance with applicable law. No waiver of any breach of any provision of the Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions hereof, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. The Agreement includes any documents agreed to by the parties in writing and all other documents expressly referenced herein. Collectively, the foregoing constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements or communications, including, without limitation, any quotations or proposals or other documents submitted by the parties. The terms on any purchase order or similar document submitted by you to Thematic will have no effect and are hereby rejected. All notices, consents, and approvals under the Agreement must be delivered in writing by courier or by certified or registered mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested) to the other party at the address set forth in the Agreement or as otherwise designated by the parties from time to time, and, if sent to Thematic.
