- Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS STATED HEREIN, VEERTU MAKES NO WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY REGARDING OR RELATING TO THE LICENSED SOFTWARE OR THE DOCUMENTATION, ANY MATERIALS OR SERVICES FURNISHED OR PROVIDED TO LICENSEE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT, OR LICENSEE DATA. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, VEERTU HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR TITLE, WITH RESPECT TO THE LICENSED SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION AND OTHER MATERIALS AND SERVICES, AND WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OR EXPLOITATION OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LICENSED SOFTWARE is not designed, manufactured or intended for use in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or air traffic control, weapons systems, life-support machines, or any other application in which the failure of the LICENSED SOFTWARE could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or property damage or environmental damage (collectively, “High Risk Activities”). VEERTU expressly disclaims any express or implied guarantee of fitness for such High Risk Activities AND THE LICENSEE SHALL NOT USE THE LICENSED SOFTWARE SHALL FOR ANY HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES.
- Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUND AND EXCEPT FOR THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER AND BREACH OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREIN, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF DATA, COST OF COVER OR ANY OTHER INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THE FURNISHING, PERFORMANCE OR USE OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE OR SERVICES PERFORMED HEREUNDER, WHETHER ALLEGED AS A BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORTIOUS CONDUCT OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, EVEN IF VEERTU HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EXCEPT FOR BREACH OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS OR LICENSE RESTRICTIONS HEREIN, EACH PARTY’S LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR DAMAGES WILL NOT, IN ANY EVENT, EXCEED THE LICENSE FEE PAID BY LICENSEE TO VEERTU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE 6 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEEDING THE FIRST CLAIM. The provisions of this Section 6 allocate risks under this Agreement between Licensee and Veertu, and Licensee acknowledges that Veertu’s pricing of the Licensed Software reflects this allocation of risks and limitation of liability.
- Indemnification
- Indemnity. Veertu shall, at its expense, indemnify, defend or settle, and hold Licensee harmless against all damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind arising from any claim or action brought against Licensee by a third party alleging that the Licensed Software, Maintenance or Support, including the use thereof in accordance with the term sof this Agreement, infringes any copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property right of such third party. Licensee will give prompt written notice to Veertu of any such claim or action (provided that failure or delay in providing such notice will not relieve Veertu of any obligation except to the extent such failure or delay adversely prejudices the defense of the claim) and give Veertu the authority to proceed as contemplated herein. Veertu will have sole control of and the exclusive right to defend, at its own expense, any such claim, action or allegation and make settlements thereof at its own discretion, and Licensee may not settle or compromise such claim, action or allegation, except with prior written consent of Veertu; provided that any settlement that does not contain a full release in favor of Licensee or that would require an admission of wrongdoing by Licensee or impose an obligation or duty on Licensee will require Licensee’s prior express written consent. In addition, Licensee may elect to participate in the defense with separate counsel at its own cost. Licensee shall give such assistance and information as Veertu may reasonably require to settle or oppose such claims.

- modify or amend the Licensed Software or infringing part thereof, or replace the Licensed Software or infringing part thereof with other software having substantially equivalent capabilities; or
- terminate this Agreement and repay to Licensee a portion, if any, of the License Fee equal to the amount paid by Licensee less a pro rata portion thereof for each month or portion thereof that this Agreement has been in effect for any given year. Veertu and Licensee will then be released from any further obligation to the other under this Agreement, except for the obligations of indemnification provided for above and such other obligations that survive termination.
- Exclusions. The obligations of Veertu under Section 7.1 will not apply to the extent the alleged infringement arises as a result of: (a) modifications to the Licensed Software made by any party other than Veertu or Veertu’s authorized representative, if the infringement would not have occurred but for such modification; (b) combination or use of the Licensed Software with any other product, service, process or technology if the infringement would not have occurred but for such combination; (c) use of the Licensed Software in violation of this Agreement; or (d) compliance with any specifications or requirements provided by Licensee.

Information communicated orally will be considered Confidential Information if such information is confirmed in writing as being Confidential Information within a reasonable time after the initial disclosure.

- Maintenance of Confidentiality. Each party agrees that it shall take reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of the Confidential Information of the other party. Without limiting the foregoing, each party shall take at least those measures that it takes to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature and shall ensure that its employees and contractors who have access to Confidential Information of the other party have signed a non-use and non-disclosure agreement in content similar to the provisions hereof, prior to any disclosure of Confidential Information to such employees.

- Required Disclosure. Neither party shall be in breach of this Section 8 for any disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information that such party is required by law or legal process to make, provided that the party subject to such requirement gives the other party prompt written notice of such requirement (to the extent legally permissible) prior to such disclosure and assistance in obtaining an order protecting the information from public disclosure at disclosing party’s expense.
