Subject to payment of the Service Package fees set forth in the applicable Order, Eventus will provide Customer with the Support Services and Service Package Services to which Customer is entitled during the applicable Subscription Period.  Eventus may modify or otherwise change its Support Services and Service Package Services, but will not take any such action during a Subscription Period that would materially reduce or degrade the applicable services to which Customer is entitled.

2.5        Security. Eventus will operate an information security program designed to protect Customer Data and utilizing industry standard policies and technologies. 

3.          ORDERS; PAYMENT

3.1        Orders. The parties have entered into an initial Order referencing these Terms of Service.  Subsequent purchases will be made by mutual execution of additional Orders and will also be subject to these Terms of Service.  Any contractual terms and conditions, preprinted or otherwise, set forth in a Customer-issued purchase order, will be of no force and effect.  Any such purchase order will be solely for the purpose of fulfilling Customer’s internal accounting processes and requirements.

3.2        Affiliate Orders. Customer may allow its Affiliates to use the SaaS Services made available to Customer hereunder for the benefit of Customer and its Affiliates, provided that Customer will be responsible for the acts and omissions of its Affiliates as if such acts and omissions were those of Customer. Customer Affiliates may also order SaaS Services under this Agreement by either of the following methods: (a) pursuant to an Order executed by Customer and Eventus, in which case Customer will be responsible for such Affiliate’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including payment obligations, or (b) pursuant to an Order executed by such Affiliate and Eventus under which such Affiliate agrees to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and will be “Customer” for all purposes under this Agreement with respect to such Order only. With respect to any such Order signed by an Affiliate, the relevant Affiliate will be solely liable for its own compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including payment obligations.

3.3        Fees; Payment Terms. Customer will pay Eventus the amounts set forth in the Order in accordance with the payment schedule set forth therein.  Unless otherwise set forth in the Order, payment from Customer is due within 30 days from the date of invoice.  In Eventus’ sole discretion, Customer may be charged a late fee of 1.5 % per month (or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law if it is less) on any undisputed amount not paid when due.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, all fees are non-refundable and non-cancellable.

3.4        Reservation of Rights. Eventus reserves the right to change the Service Package Level  fees from time to time on each anniversary date of the Subscription Period, provided that it will not increase such fees more than up to an amount equal to the greater of five percent or the percentage increase in the published Consumer Price Index (all urban consumers) for all metropolitan areas over the preceding year.

3.5        Travel and Incidental Expenses. Customer will reimburse Eventus for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Eventus in connection with performing any pre-approved on-site Professional Services at Customer’s location.

3.6        Taxes. Eventus’ fees do not include any local, state, federal or foreign taxes, levies, or duties of any nature (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for timely paying all applicable Taxes arising from the performance of this Agreement, excluding only taxes based on Eventus’ income.  If Eventus has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this Section, the appropriate amount will be invoiced to and paid by Customer unless Customer provides Eventus with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Customer will make all payments under this Agreement without withholding or deduction of, or in respect of, any Tax unless required by law. If any such withholding or deduction is required, Customer will, when making the payment to which the withholding or deduction relates, pay to Eventus such additional amount as will ensure that Eventus receives the same total amount that it would have received if no such withholding or deduction had been required.

4.          CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS

4.1        SaaS Services Use Guidelines. Customer will use the SaaS Services solely as contemplated by this Agreement and will not, and will not authorize any third party to: (a) license, sublicense, sell, resell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, time share or otherwise commercially exploit or make the SaaS Services available to any third party other than Customer’s Affiliates; (b) decompile, disassemble, or otherwise reverse engineer or attempt to reconstruct or discover any source code or underlying ideas or algorithms of any of the software or systems comprising the SaaS Services; (c) copy any portion of the SaaS Services except as expressly provided herein; (d) modify, alter or create any derivative works of the SaaS Services or Documentation provided or made available by Eventus hereunder; (e) send spam or otherwise duplicative or unsolicited messages in violation of applicable laws; (f) send or store infringing, obscene, threatening, libelous, or otherwise unlawful or tortious material, including material harmful to children or violative of third party privacy rights; (g) send or store material containing software viruses, worms, Trojan horses or other harmful computer code, files, scripts, agents or programs; (h) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the SaaS Services or the Data contained therein; (i) use the SaaS Services in violation of any applicable laws or regulations (including any export laws, restrictions, national security controls and regulations); (j) use the SaaS Services to directly or indirectly engage, or participate, in any business or enterprise in competition with, the SaaS Services; or (k) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the SaaS Services or related systems or networks.

4.2        Non-Eventus Products. While Eventus enables integrations with Non-Eventus Products as a convenience to its customers, no such integrations are official partnerships or endorsements. If Customer enables any Non-Eventus Products for use with the SaaS Services, Eventus assumes no responsibility or liability for such Non-Eventus Products including interoperation with the SaaS Services or support, maintenance, security or discontinuation of the Non-Eventus Products. Customer’s use of the Non-Eventus Products is solely between Customer and the third party provider of the Non-Eventus Product and is governed by such third party’s terms and conditions.

4.3        Account Activity. Customer will: (a) have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, and appropriateness of all Customer Data; and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, the SaaS Services.  Customer is responsible for Authorized Users’ and its Affiliates’ compliance with this Agreement.

Eventus will provide Customer with notice and an opportunity to remedy such violation or threat (including 15 days written notice if Customer is in default of its payment obligations hereunder) before any such suspension unless Eventus reasonably concludes that Customer’s use of the SaaS Services is causing an immediate, material and ongoing harm to the security, integrity or availability of the SaaS Services. Eventus will promptly remove such suspension to the applicable SaaS Services once the applicable violation or threat has been resolved. Suspension of SaaS Services will not constitute a termination of the Agreement nor will it relieve Customer of any of Customer’s obligations or liabilities under the Agreement.

6.          CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1        Confidential Information.  The term “Confidential Information” includes all information, software and data furnished by either party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”), whether in oral, written, graphic or machine-readable form, and materials, documentation, designs, improvements, formulae, discoveries, inventions, networks, concepts, ideas, technical information and procedures, security related information including SOC 2 reports, ISO reports, information on the design or effectiveness of the implementation of security controls by Eventus’ third party service providers, legal, financial or business affairs, markets, products, key personnel, suppliers, policies or operational methods, plans for future developments for the business of the Disclosing Party, and all other information disclosed to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party that is not readily available to the public, and all copies of the foregoing, that is either designated as proprietary or confidential or, by the nature of the circumstances surrounding disclosure, ought in good faith to be treated as proprietary or confidential.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement, all Documentation related to the SaaS Services and all information regarding the performance of the SaaS Services (including availability, uptime, and performance benchmarks) will be deemed to be the Confidential Information of Eventus regardless of whether they are so marked. In addition, all information provided by Customer to Eventus, including financial and customer information, will be deemed to be the Confidential Information of Customer regardless of whether they are so marked.

6.2        Non-Confidential Information.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information will not include information that: (a) has entered the public domain through no action or failure to act by the Receiving Party; (b) before disclosure hereunder was already lawfully in Receiving Party’s possession without any obligation of confidentiality; (c) subsequent to disclosure hereunder is obtained by the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third party who has the right to disclose such information to the Receiving Party; or (d) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

6.3        Obligation of Non-Disclosure.  The Receiving Party agrees (a) not to disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any third parties (except for its subcontractors or professional advisors who are bound by an obligation of confidentiality no less restrictive than this provision), and (b) to use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement.  The Receiving Party will safeguard the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party with at least the same degree of care that it utilizes to safeguard its own Confidential Information, but in any event not less than a reasonable degree of care.  The Receiving Party will not remove or alter any copyright, trademark, service mark or other proprietary rights notice attached to or included in any Confidential Information furnished by Disclosing Party.

6.4        Return of Confidential Information.  Each Receiving Party will destroy or return to Disclosing Party all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that the Receiving Party possesses upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that copies of Confidential Information are contained in the Receiving Party’s off-site backup data storage archives and are not readily accessible for deletion, the Receiving Party will not be obligated to delete such copies so long as it does not willfully attempt to access such Confidential Information and continues to comply with the confidentiality restrictions set forth herein.

6.5        Authorized Disclosure.  If the Receiving Party is compelled by law, regulation, or a court of competent jurisdiction to disclose any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, to the extent permitted by law, the Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party so that it may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.  The Receiving Party agrees to cooperate at the Disclosing Party’s expense in seeking such order or other remedy.  If disclosure is ultimately required, the Receiving Party will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required, exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that it will receive confidential treatment and continue to treat such Confidential Information in accordance with its obligations under this Section. Each party may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement: (a) on a confidential basis to legal or financial advisors; (b) pursuant to reports, applications or similar filings submitted to regulatory agencies and governing authorities as required by applicable law; or (c) on a confidential basis in connection with any financing transaction or due diligence inquiry.

6.6        Injunctive Relief.  Each party acknowledges that the Disclosing Party would be irreparably harmed if Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement are not specifically enforced and that Disclosing Party would not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of an actual or threatened breach hereof.  Accordingly, the Disclosing Party is entitled to specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or anticipated breach without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or posting bond and without waiving any other remedies at law or in equity which may be available in the event of any action to enforce such provisions.

6.7        AWS SOC 2 Report. In the event Eventus discloses to Customer the AWS SOC 2 report such report is deemed Confidential Information and AWS is an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement solely with respect to such AWS SOC 2 report and has the right to enforce this Agreement with respect to the AWS SOC 2 report as if it were a party hereto.

7.          PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

7.1        Ownership. As between Eventus and Customer, Eventus owns all right, title, and interest in and to the SaaS Services and the hardware and software used to provide the SaaS Services (including any customizations, modifications, adaptations, interfaces or derivative works that may be developed as a result of the Professional Services set forth in any Order or SOW unless otherwise set forth in such Order or SOW), the Documentation, Eventus’ Confidential Information, and all intellectual property rights related thereto (“Eventus IP”).  As between Customer and Eventus, Customer owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Customer Data, Customer’s Confidential Information, and all intellectual property rights related thereto.  This Agreement does not grant any right or license to any intellectual property except as expressly provided in this Agreement, and no other right or license is to be implied by or inferred from any provision of this Agreement or by the conduct of the parties.

The parties acknowledge the SaaS Services may involve Eventus’ processing of personally identifiable data of Customer, as defined by applicable law (“Personal Data”).  The parties will expressly agree in an Order to the specific types of Personal Data to be processed by Eventus and Customer will use commercially reasonable efforts, when feasible, to pseudonymize all Personal Data provided to Eventus.  In the event Customer provides to Eventus types of Personal Data that are not agreed to by the parties in an Order or does not pseudonymize the Personal Data when feasible to do so, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Customer will be responsible for any penalties, fines, notifications or other out of pocket costs incurred by Eventus or Customer associated with the misuse, loss, or unauthorized disclosure in violation of law of such additional or non- pseudonymized Personal Data unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Eventus. All Personal Data will be considered the exclusive property of Customer, and Eventus will not use such Personal Data during the Term except (a) for the purpose of providing the SaaS Services to Customer, (b) in Eventus’ role as a joint controller of certain Personal Data of Customer employees or contractors, for outreach to Authorized Users and appropriate Customer personnel concerning product roadmap, product updates, new products and the like (pursuant to which Customer has obtained such individuals’ consent, to the extent required by law), or (c) at Customer’s request. If Customer is a U.S. entity or has operations in the U.S. (with Customer’s clients in the U.S.), Customer represents that Customer is a “financial institution” subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) and all Personal Data processed by Eventus hereunder is nonpublic information (“NPI”) under GLBA for which Customer has obtained all necessary authorizations and consents.  Subject to the foregoing, each party will comply with all data protection and privacy laws applicable to Eventus’ processing of Personal Data, including the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (“GDPR”) and the United Kingdom Data Protection Act 2018 (“UK GDPR”). If any Personal Data is subject to GDPR, UK GDPR or other European data laws and regulations, the parties are subject to the Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) set forth at https://www.eventus.com/data-processing-addendum/ .   To the extent Eventus is required to process any approved Personal Data which is not subject to GLBA, GDPR or UK GDPR or other European data laws and regulations (e.g., from Latin America or Asia Pacific), Customer will notify Eventus thereof in advance (email is acceptable), and each party will also comply with the requirements of any other applicable cross border transfer legislation, laws, or rules which may govern such Personal Data.

7.3        Customer Data. Customer hereby grants to Eventus a limited, nonexclusive, royalty-free, license to access and use the Customer Data to (a) provide,  perform, improve and enhance the SaaS Services and for other development, diagnostic and corrective purposes in connection with the SaaS Services and other Eventus offerings and (b) disclose such data solely in aggregate and anonymized form in connection with the provision and  marketing of the SaaS Services.  Under no circumstances will any such data be capable of being re-identified unless it is otherwise public information.

In the event Eventus acquires Third Party Market Data on Customer’s behalf pursuant to an Order, Customer acknowledges that all intellectual property rights subsisting in the Third Party Market Data are and will remain vested in the party or parties from whom Eventus obtained the Third Party Market Data (each, a   “Data Source”).  The Third Party Market Data constitutes valuable information, copyrighted materials, and proprietary rights of the Data Source.  Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer’s use of the Third Party Market Data and the data included therein will be subject to the terms and conditions, restrictions, or limitations, and any other requirements established by the Data Source from time to time, set forth in the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Data Source provided the Third Party Market Data to Eventus, which are available for review by Customer upon request.  The Customer will use the Third Party Market Data solely for its own internal purposes and will not reproduce, publish, distribute, disseminate, or communicate the Third Party Market Data to any third party.  The foregoing restrictions will include copying of any part of the Third Party Market Data electronically, or otherwise and/or distributing or disseminating any part of the Third Party Market Data via any server or network to any third party. Customer acknowledges that Eventus has no control over or responsibility for the scope, timing, content, method of delivery or any other aspect of any Third Party Market Data provided by a Data Source and that a Data Source may, at any time and without prior notice, amend or limit the scope, timing, content, and method of delivery of such Third Party Market Data and that Eventus has no responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, and appropriateness of any Third Party Market Data.  Eventus does not assume any duty or obligation to correct or modify any Third Party Market Data.

7.5        Suggestions. To the extent that Customer submits to Eventus any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations, or other information relating to the SaaS Services (“Suggestions”), Customer hereby grants Eventus a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable license to freely use, disclose, and otherwise exploit such Suggestions, including by incorporating the Suggestions into future versions of the SaaS Services.

7.6        No Exclusivity. Customer acknowledges that Eventus is in the business of providing development and other services to other customers, and that Eventus will have the right to provide to third parties services which are the same as or similar to the SaaS Services and Professional Services provided to Customer pursuant to this Agreement or a SOW, and to use or otherwise exploit any Eventus IP in providing such services. In addition, Customer acknowledges that Eventus will be free to use and employ its general skills, know-how, and expertise, and to use and employ any generalized ideas, concepts, know-how, or expertise gained during the provision of Professional Services hereunder, so long as Eventus acquires and applies such items without disclosure of any Customer Confidential Information.

8.          WARRANTIES

8.1        Mutual Warranties. Each party represents and warrants to the other party that (a) it has the right to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not conflict in any material respect with or constitute a material breach or default of any organizational document, agreement or other writing to which it is a party.

8.2        Performance Warranty.  Eventus warrants that the SaaS Services will substantially perform the functions described in the then-current Documentation for the SaaS Services.  This warranty does not apply if the SaaS Services are not administered in accordance with the applicable instructions and training provided by Eventus.  If the SaaS Services fail to operate as warranted in this Section 8.2 and Customer notifies Eventus in writing of the nature of the non-conformance (“Notice”), Eventus will make commercially reasonable efforts to promptly repair or replace the non-conforming SaaS Services without charge.  If, after a reasonable opportunity to cure, Eventus does not remedy the non-conformance, Customer may no later than 60 days after giving the Notice terminate the Agreement and receive a refund of the prepaid SaaS Services fees for the period following the date of termination.  The foregoing provides Customer’s exclusive remedy, and Eventus’ exclusive obligation and liability, for breach of the warranty in this Section 8.2.

8.3        Professional Services Warranty. Eventus will perform the Professional Services in a professional and workmanlike manner, and Eventus’ personnel will have sufficient skill, knowledge, and training to perform the Professional Services.  Customer’s exclusive remedy, and Eventus’ exclusive obligation and liability, for Eventus’ breach of the warranty in this Section 8.3 will be Eventus’ reasonable commercial efforts, at no additional charge, to remedy any Professional Services performed in a manner that is substantially less than workmanlike or to replace personnel with insufficient skill, knowledge, and training with qualified personnel for performance of the Professional Services. 

8.4        Customer Representations and Warranties.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that neither Eventus nor its suppliers operates or controls the Internet and that: (a) viruses, worms, Trojan horses, or other undesirable data or software exist; and (b) unauthorized users (e.g., hackers) may attempt to obtain access to Customer Data, web site, computers, or networks.  Eventus uses reasonable efforts (including firewalls) consistent with industry standards to protect the SaaS Services from such unauthorized use, but subject to the foregoing, Eventus is not responsible for issues related to acts or omissions of third parties.

9.          INDEMNIFICATION

9.1        Eventus Indemnity. Eventus will defend any action brought against Customer to the extent that it is based upon a third party claim (a) that the SaaS Services, as provided by Eventus to Customer under this Agreement and used within the scope of this Agreement, infringe or misappropriate any patent, copyright or trade secret or violates any other intellectual property right of a third party, and/or (b) arising from the willful misconduct or fraud of Eventus, and Eventus will indemnify Customer from the costs, damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees attributable to such claim that are awarded against Customer or agreed upon by Eventus in settlement.

9.2        Injunction.

9.3        Exclusions. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 9.1 above, Eventus will have no liability for any infringement or misappropriation claim of any kind to the extent it results from: (a) information, design, specification, instruction, software, data, or material furnished by or on behalf of Customer; (b) modification or alteration of the SaaS Services or Third Party Market Data not made by or for Eventus, if infringement would have been avoided by the absence of the modifications; (c) the combination, operation or use of the SaaS Services with equipment, devices, software or data (including Customer Data and Non-Eventus Products) not supplied by Eventus, if infringement would not have occurred but for such combination, operation or use; (d) use of the SaaS Services in violation of the applicable Documentation; (e) Customer’s continuing such allegedly infringing activity after being informed by Eventus and provided, at no additional charge, with modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement and reasonable time to implement such modifications; or (f) Customer’s or an Authorized User’s use of the SaaS Services or Third Party Market Data in breach of this Agreement. Sections 9.1 – 9.3 set forth Eventus’ exclusive obligations and liabilities, and Customer’s exclusive remedies, with respect to infringement of intellectual property rights under or in connection with this Agreement.

9.4        Customer Indemnity. Customer will defend any action brought against Eventus to the extent that it is based upon a claim (a) that the Customer Data, as provided by Customer to Eventus under this Agreement and used within the scope of this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates any patent, copyright or trade secret or violates any other intellectual property or other right of a third party or violates applicable law, (b) that Customer’s use of a Non-Eventus Product or its interoperation with the SaaS Services is a violation of the third party provider’s terms and conditions, and/or (c) arising from the willful misconduct or fraud of Customer, and Customer will indemnify Eventus from the costs, damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees attributable to such claim that are awarded against Eventus or agreed upon by Customer in settlement.

9.5        Process. The party seeking to be indemnified will give prompt written notice to the other party of the claim against which it seeks to be indemnified and will provide the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party’s expense, with the assistance reasonably necessary for the defense and settlement of the claim. The failure by the indemnified party to timely furnish to the indemnifying party any notice required to be furnished under this Section 9 will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 9, except to the extent such failure materially and adversely prejudices the ability of the indemnifying party to defend such claim. The indemnifying party will have control of the defense and settlement of any such claim. The indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement of an action effected without its written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnifying party will not settle any claim without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless the settlement unconditionally releases the indemnified party of all liability. The indemnified party may engage counsel of its choice at its own expense.

10.        LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY

10.1     EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S GROSSLY NEGLIGENT, OR WILFUL MISCONDUCT, IN NO EVENT WILL SUCH PARTY BE LIABLE FOR (A)  ERROR OR INTERRUPTION OF USE OR FOR LOSS OR INACCURACY OR CORRUPTION OF DATA (INCLUDING ANY CUSTOMER DATA) OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR TECHNOLOGY OR LOSS OF BUSINESS; (B)  ANY INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR FOR LOSS OF PROFIT, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR LOSS OF GOODWILL INCURRED BY A PARTY; OR (C) ANY FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS WHICH ARE BEYOND A PARTY’S REASONABLE CONTROL EVEN IF SUCH PARTY KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SAAS SERVICES, THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, THE SUPPORT SERVICES, THE SERVICE PACKAGE SERVICES, OR THIS AGREEMENT. 

10.2     EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, CUSTOMER’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, OR FOR A PARTY’S VIOLATION OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SAAS SERVICES, THE  PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, THE SUPPORT SERVICES, THE SERVICE PACKAGE SERVICES, OR THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE, THAT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY CUSTOMER TO EVENTUS FOR THE SAAS SERVICES AND SERVICE PACKAGE SERVICES DURING THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE FIRST CLAIM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT THAT EVENTUS’ LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, ARISING OUT OF A BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OR A BREACH OF SECURITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER (INCLUDING ANY INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS THEREFOR) WILL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT AVAILABLE UNDER EVENTUS’ INSURANCE.  MULTIPLE CLAIMS WILL NOT EXPAND THIS LIMITATION.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL LIMIT A PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY SUCH PARTY’S NEGLIGENCE OR A PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR FRAUD. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 10 REFLECT THE ALLOCATION OF RISK SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT THE PARTIES WOULD NOT ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.

11.1     Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable under this Agreement for any failure, deficiency or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement due to any force majeure event, including natural catastrophe, fire, explosion, electrical or communication line failure, disturbance, war or military action, acts of terrorism, epidemic, pandemic, government acts, orders, or regulation, equipment failure, or any cause or matter whatsoever not within the reasonable control of such party.  In the event of such a force majeure, the affected party will be entitled to a reasonable extension of time for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

Eventus will notify Customer of Changes by posting a revised version of these Terms of Service incorporating the Changes to Eventus’ website page setting forth these Terms of Service. Customer’s continued purchase, use of or access to the Services following the posting of Terms of Service incorporating the Changes will mean that Customer accepts and agrees to the Changes.

11.5     Waiver. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of that right. A waiver by a party of any provision of this Agreement in any one instance will not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such provision for any similar instance in the future or of any subsequent breach.

11.6     Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be deemed null and void, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect.  The parties agree to negotiate in good faith an enforceable substitute provision for any invalid or unenforceable provision that most nearly achieves the intent and economic effect of such provision.

11.7     Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and be enforceable by and against the parties hereto and, to the extent permitted hereby, their respective successors and assigns.  This Agreement is not transferable or assignable by either party, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.  Provided, however, either party may, without the other party’s consent, assign or transfer all or part of this Agreement to any Affiliate or to any successor-in-interest to all or substantially all the business or assets of the assigning party pertaining to the subject matter hereof, whether voluntarily or by merger, reorganization, asset sale, or otherwise.

Each party irrevocably submits to venue and exclusive personal jurisdiction in the federal and state courts in Austin, Travis County, Texas, for any disputes or claims arising out of this Agreement, and waives all objections to jurisdiction and venue of such courts; provided that nothing in this Section will restrict either party from seeking injunctive relief in a forum of its choice. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.

11.10  Anti-Corruption Laws. Each party is subject to various anti-bribery statutes in the U.S. and around the globe, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act. Each party represents and warrants in connection with its performance under this Agreement that it (a) has not done and will not do anything to violate these laws and other related laws in the applicable jurisdictions, and (b) has implemented its own anti-corruption policy and will take appropriate, risk-based procedures to abide by its anti-corruption policy for the term of this Agreement.

11.11  Compliance with Laws. Each of Eventus and Customer will comply with all applicable export laws, restrictions, and regulations of the United States or foreign agency or authority. Customer will not use the SaaS Services or Data, or allow the transfer, transmission, export, or re-export of the SaaS Services and Data or portion thereof, in violation of any export control laws or regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, OFAC, or any other government agency or authority. Customer will obtain and bear all expenses relating to any necessary licenses or exemptions with respect to the export from the U.S. of the SaaS Services and Data to any location so as to be in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
