Such a subscription fee may apply universally to all users or be tailored to specific categories of users, at Licensor’s discretion.
Upon the implementation of a subscription fee, Licensee agrees to facilitate the compliance of its preferred vendors with the new subscription model, ensuring that access to and use of Licensor’s system by said vendors is contingent upon their agreement to and payment of the applicable subscription fee. Licensee understands that failure to ensure such compliance may impact the designation of its vendors in relation to Licensor’s system.
The imposition of a subscription fee shall in no way diminish the obligations of the Licensee or its vendors under the terms of this Agreement, except as specifically modified by the terms accompanying the introduction of such a fee. All parties agree to be bound by any such modifications as a condition of continued access to and use of Licensor’s system.
5. Service Fees.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request by Licensee in writing to support@purlieu.tech within 90 days of termination or expiration of this Agreement, Licensor will make Customer Data available to Licensee for export or download at Licensor’s then applicable rates. After such 90-day period, Licensor will have no obligation to maintain or provide Customer Data and may thereafter delete or destroy all copies of Customer Data in Licensor’s systems, unless legally prohibited. Should Licensee wish Customer Data to be deleted before the expiration of such 90-day period, it shall send written notice to support@purlieu.tech requesting earlier deletion.

LICENSOR SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS AND DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE COMPLETENESS, ACCURACY OR QUALITY OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY IT UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
8. Infringement Notification and Remediation. Licensee will promptly notify Licensor in writing of any third-party claim or action that alleges the Licensed Program directly infringes a United States patent or copyright, or constitutes misappropriation of a third party trade secret. Licensee agrees to reasonably cooperate with Licensor in its defense or settlement, if Licensor has elected, in its sole discretion, to exercise sole control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations. In the event the Licensed Program becomes, or in Licensor’s opinion are likely to become, the subject of any claim or action that in the Licensor’s sole opinion could limit the use or access to the Licensed Program in a meaningful way, then Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts at its sole option and expense, to (a) procure the right for Licensee to continue using the Licensed Program, (b) replace or modify the Licensed Program so it becomes non-infringing while remaining functionally equivalent, or (c) if option (a) or (b) is not reasonably available in Licensor’s judgment, Licensor may terminate the Services and Licensor will issue a refund of all fees paid by Licensee for the remaining unused balance of the Services period at the time of termination.

THIS IS LICENSEE’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY LICENSOR.

Confidential Information also specifically includes all information marked “confidential,” and the pricing terms of this Agreement. The parties agree to use the same degree of care to protect the other’s Confidential Information as they use to protect the confidentiality of their own (but never less than reasonable care). The parties also agree (i) not to make each other’s Confidential Information available to any third party (other than employees and contractors who need access to perform the services specified under this Agreement), (ii) not to use each other’s Confidential Information except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, and (iii) to hold each other’s Confidential Information in confidence during the term of this Agreement and for as long as they have custody or control of Confidential Information. The parties also agree that no adequate remedy at law exists for breach of this Section 10, and any such breach would cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching party whom shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief, in addition to whatever remedies it has at law or otherwise.
10.2. Either party may disclose Confidential Information of the other party (Disclosing Party) to the extent compelled by law to do so. If the receiving party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a court 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 that Confidential Information.
10.3. Confidential Information shall not include Aggregated Data or information that (i) is in the public domain through no act or omission of the other party, (ii) was in the other party’s lawful possession prior to the disclosure, (iii) is lawfully disclosed to the other party by a third party without restriction on disclosure, (iv) is independently developed by the other party, or (v) is data or information not strictly required for the Services to function for which Licensor disclaims any and all liability and damages.
11. Title to Equipment. Unless otherwise specified on any Order Form, and in such case only after payment in full of applicable fees as set forth in that Order Form, Licensor or its suppliers shall retain the title to any and all equipment or other facilities utilized in connection with delivery of the Services (collectively the “Equipment”), and this Agreement shall not, and shall not be deemed to, convey title to the Equipment to Licensee. LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE EQUIPMENT ARE NOT MANUFACTURED BY LICENSOR. LICENSOR WILL EITHER DELIVER THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY DIRECTLY TO LICENSEE OR PASS THROUGH THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY TO LICENSEE DEPENDING UPON THE APPLICABLE MANUFACTURER’S POLICY.
12. Force Majeure. Licensor is not responsible for any damage to Licensee’s computer, software, modem, telephone or other property resulting from Licensee’s use of the Services. If Licensor’s performance of any obligation under this Agreement is prevented, restricted or interfered with by causes including failure or malfunction of Licensee supplied equipment, disruptions of Internet protocol (“IP”) service through intermediate carriers other than Licensor, acts of God, explosions, vandalism, cable cut, storms, pandemic, fires, floods or other catastrophes, power failure, national emergencies, insurrections, riots, wars, strike, lockouts, boycotts, work stoppages or other labor difficulties, or any law, order, regulation or other actions of any governmental authority, agency, instrumentality, or of any civil or military authority, then Licensor shall be excused from such performance on a day-to-day basis during such restriction or interference.
13. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and deemed given (a) when personally delivered, (b) one (1) day after delivered to an overnight courier guarantying next day delivery, or (c) three (3) days after deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, sent certified or registered. All notices shall be addressed to the parties at the addresses specified on the signature page hereof or to such other address as hereafter designated in writing by the applicable party, or if given by Licensor, by email address to the Licensee internal administrator on file with Licensor.
14. Arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association as the exclusive method of dispute resolution. Any arbitration may, but need not be, administered by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration panel shall consist of three arbitrators, one to be appointed by each party, and the third to be appointed by the first two arbitrators so selected. The arbitration shall take place in Butler Pennsylvania and shall be in English. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief, and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. No arbitrator will have the authority to award any relief or remedy in excess of or contrary to what is provided in this Agreement. The arbitrator’s decision and award will be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered into any court having jurisdiction. The cost of arbitration shall be paid for as determined by the arbitrator. Licensee agrees that any arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis and not a consolidated, class-wide, or representative basis and the arbitrator shall have no authority to proceed with arbitration on a class or representative basis. If for any reason the arbitration clause set forth in this Agreement is deemed inapplicable or invalid, Licensee hereby waives, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any right to pursue or to participate as a plaintiff or as a class member in any claim on a class or consolidated basis or in a representative capacity, and also waives rights to a jury trial.
15. General Provisions.
15.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the attached Schedules, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between Licensee and Licensor with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all proposals and prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, and any other communications between the parties regarding this subject matter. Any term or condition stated in a Licensee issued purchase order or other Licensee order document is void and the prevailing document is the Order Form as defined above. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any such Order Form, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto (and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns) any rights, remedies, liabilities or obligations under or by reason of this Agreement.
15.2. Assignment. No part of this Agreement may be assigned without the prior written consent of the other party.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.
15.3. Waiver. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement by Licensor shall be in writing and signed by Licensor. No waiver of rights shall constitute a subsequent waiver of any rights whatsoever. The failure of Licensor to enforce any provision hereof shall not constitute the permanent waiver of such provision.
15.4. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and any provision determined to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity only, without in any way affecting the remaining parts of this Agreement and such invalid provision shall be replaced with an enforceable provision which achieves to the greatest extent possible the parties’ original intent.
15.5. Remedies. No remedy conferred by any of the specific provisions of the Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder, now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies by either party shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.
15.6. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, Butler County without regard for its choice of law rules.
15.7. Publicity. Licensee hereby authorizes and permits Licensor to use Licensee’s name in customer lists and other promotional materials naming Licensee as a customer of Licensor and a user of the Services.

Licensee shall not and shall not permit its Users to access or use the Services or the Licensed Program or the Licensor Intellectual Property in violation of any United States or other country’s applicable export law or regulation and shall otherwise comply with all export laws, rules and regulations of the United States and other applicable countries, as amended now or in the future.
15.9. Anti-Corruption. Licensee represents and warrants that Licensee has not received or been offered any illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift, or thing of value from any of Licensor’s employees or agents in connection with this Agreement (reasonable entertainment in the ordinary course of business excluded). Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee warrants that it has not offered or paid, and will not offer or pay, any money or anything else of value, to any person for the purpose of securing any improper advantage in violation of any applicable anti-corruption law or regulation. If Licensee learns of any violation of the above restrictions, it will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Licensor.
