User accounts and for each Authorized User’s compliance with all terms and
conditions of the Agreement. Client shall have sole responsibility for the
accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability and appropriateness of all
Client Data generated, uploaded and transmitted by Client and Authorized Users.

in and to the Client Data or has a license granting it the rights necessary to
permit it to grant the foregoing license. Logica may use the Client Data in an
aggregated format with data provided by other third parties for various
business purposes, provided that it is not possible to identify Client, or any
individual Client transaction from the data.
3.12. Feedback.
Logica may periodically request that Client provide, and Client agrees to
provide to Logica, feedback
regarding the use, operation and functionality of the Services (“Feedback”). Such Feedback shall include, without
limitation, any information about operating results, known or suspected bugs,
errors or compatibility problems, suggested modifications, and user-desired
features. Logica is hereby granted a non-exclusive, world-wide, perpetual,
irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, fully sublicensable and transferable
right and license to use and incorporate Feedback into any products and
services, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import, and otherwise exploit

authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. LOGICA MAKES NO
WARRANTIES REGARDING THE SERVICES. LOGICA SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL
OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION,
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
TITLE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT. LOGICA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ACCESS TO THE SERVICES

SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET CLIENT’S PARTICULAR
REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS. LOGICA
DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACCURACY OF DATA OR INFORMATION
PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES. LOGICA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY
DELAYS, INTERRUPTIONS, SERVICE FAILURES AND ANY OTHER PROBLEMS ARISING FROM
CLIENT’S USE OF THE INTERNET, ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR ANY OTHER SYSTEMS.
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
LOGICA AND CLIENT. LOGICA’S PRICING
REFLECTS THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK AND THE LIMITED WARRANTIES SPECIFIED HEREIN.
7.1. Obligations. During the term of the Agreement and for a period of three (3) years
after the date of termination or expiration of the Agreement, each party: (i) shall treat as confidential all Confidential Information
(as defined below) provided by the other party; (ii) shall not use such
Confidential Information except as expressly permitted under the terms of the
Agreement or otherwise previously authorized in writing by the disclosing
party; (iii) shall implement reasonable procedures to prohibit the disclosure,
unauthorized duplication, reverse engineering, disassembly, decompiling, misuse
or removal of such Confidential Information; and (iv) shall not disclose such
Confidential Information to any third party. Without limiting the foregoing,
each party shall use at least the same degree of care to prevent the disclosure
of the other party’s Confidential Information as it uses to prevent the
disclosure of its own Confidential Information, and shall in any event use no
less than a reasonable degree of care. “Confidential Information” shall mean all
confidential information of a party, whether written or oral, and whether in
paper or electronic format, disclosed to a receiving party that is designated
in writing or identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be
reasonably known by the receiving party to be Confidential Information due to
the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the
disclosure. Confidential information related to either party’s customer lists, customer information, products,
technical information, pricing information, pricing methodologies, or
information regarding the disclosing party’s business planning or business
operations shall be deemed Confidential Information without any marking
or further designation.
7.2. Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, the
receiving party’s nondisclosure obligations shall not apply to information that:
(i) was generally available to the public at the time
it was disclosed, or becomes generally available to the public through no fault
of the receiving party; (ii) was known to the receiving party at the time of
disclosure as shown by written records in existence at the time of disclosure;
(iii) was developed independently by the receiving party prior to the
disclosure, as shown by written records in existence prior to the disclosure;
(iv) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the disclosing party; (v)
becomes known to the receiving party from a source other than the disclosing
party without breach of the Agreement by the receiving party and in a manner
which is otherwise not in violation of the disclosing party’s rights; or (vi)
is disclosed pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative
agency, or other governmental body, provided that the receiving party shall
provide reasonable advance notice to enable the disclosing party to seek a
protective order, and that such information remains Confidential Information
for all other purposes.
8. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. NEITHER PARTY, ITS
AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS, SHALL BE
LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL
PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR LIABILITY (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’
FEES) THAT RESULT FROM OR ARE RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE SERVICES,
WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF THE
OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LIABILITY.
THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF LOGICA RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THE AGREEMENT OR
ANY OF THE SERVICES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF
LIABILITY, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS RECEIVED BY LOGICA FROM CLIENT IN THE
TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH DAMAGES. THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY UNDER THIS
SECTION SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES ARISING FROM
VIOLATIONS BY EITHER PARTY HEREUNDER OF SECTIONS 3 OR 7 OF THE AGREEMENT.

any invalid provision with a valid provision that most closely approximates the

including, but not limited to, such as failure of communications networks,
inability to timely obtain instructions or information from the other party,
governmental action, fire, storms, floods or other acts of God, provided that
the party seeking to rely on such circumstances gives written notice of such
circumstances to the other party hereto and uses reasonable efforts to overcome
such circumstances.
