(a) NAKIVO, its Affiliates, or licensors retain all right, title, and interest to the Product, Services, Support, and all related intellectual property and proprietary rights. The Product and all third-party software provided with the Product are protected by applicable copyright, trade secret, industrial, and other intellectual property laws. Customer may not remove any product identification, copyright, trademark, or other notice from the Product. NAKIVO reserves any rights not expressly granted to Customer in this Agreement. (b) "Confidential Information" means all proprietary or confidential information that is disclosed to the recipient ("Recipient") by the discloser ("Discloser"), and includes, among other things (i) any and all information relating to the Discloser's financial information, customers, employees, products, or services, including, without limitation, software code, flowcharts, techniques, specifications, development and marketing plans, strategies, and forecasts; (ii) as to NAKIVO, and its licensors, the Product and any third-party software provided with the Product; and (iii) the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Product pricing information.

11. DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES; LIMITS ON LIABILITY
DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES; LIMITS ON LIABILITY. EXCEPT FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE LICENSE (SECTION 3), LICENSE RESTRICTIONS (SECTION 4), PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND CONFIDENTIALITY (SECTION 10) AND FOR INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS (SECTION 13), NEITHER PARTY, ITS AFFILIATES, NOR NAKIVO'S LICENSORS ARE LIABLE FOR (A) ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, SUPPORT, THE PRODUCT, SERVICES, OR ANY THIRD PARTY CODE OR SOFTWARE PROVIDED WITH THE PRODUCT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST COMPUTER USAGE TIME, AND DAMAGE TO, OR LOSS OF USE OF DATA), EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF NEGLIGENCE OF A PARTY OR WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES RESULT FROM A CLAIM ARISING UNDER TORT OR CONTRACT LAW, OR (B) DAMAGES OF ANY KIND IN AN AMOUNT GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT OF ACTUAL, DIRECT DAMAGES UP TO THE CAP. THE TERM "CAP" MEANS (I) IF NAKIVO IS THE PAYOR, THE AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE LICENSE TO THE PRODUCT GIVING RISE TO SUCH DAMAGES; AND (II) IF CUSTOMER IS THE PAYOR, THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE, BY CUSTOMER FOR THE LICENSE TO THE PRODUCT GIVING RISE TO SUCH DAMAGES.
12. TRIAL LICENSE AND FREE LICENSE
NAKIVO may determine, in its sole discretion, to make Products available to Customer without an Order and without charge. Such Products are deemed to be "Products" pursuant to this Agreement except that (a) they are provided to Customer solely so that Customer may evaluate internally whether to acquire a license to the products for a fee; and (b) the license term for such products is fifteen (15) days or any other number of days specified by NAKIVO; and (c) the Products are provided "AS IS" and without any warranty or support; and (d) the Product cannot be put into productive use or included as part of Customer's business processes in any manner, unless or until they are expressly licensed and paid for under an Order. NAKIVO may terminate all of Customer's rights and licenses to these Products for NAKIVO's convenience upon notice to Customer.
13. INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS
If a third party asserts a claim against Customer asserting that Customer's use of a Product in accordance with this Agreement violates that third-party's patent, trade secret, or copyright rights ("Infringement Claim"), then NAKIVO will, at its own expense: (a) defend or settle the Infringement Claim; and (b) indemnify Customer for any damages finally awarded against Customer based on infringement by the Product. NAKIVO's obligations under this Section do not apply if: (a) NAKIVO's Legal Department does not receive prompt, detailed written notice of the Infringement Claim from Customer; (b) NAKIVO is unable to retain sole control of the defense of the Infringement Claim and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise; (c) NAKIVO does not receive all reasonable assistance; or (d) the Infringement Claim is based on (i) the use of the Product and/or Services in combination with products not approved by NAKIVO in the Product Documentation, (ii) the failure of Customer to use any updates to such Product within a reasonable time after such update are made available to Customer, or (iii) the failure of Customer to use the Product as permitted by the Order and in accordance with the Documentation. NAKIVO will not bind Customer to a monetary obligation in a settlement or compromise, or make an admission on behalf of Customer, without obtaining Customer's prior consent. If NAKIVO determines in NAKIVO's reasonable discretion that use of the Products should be stopped because of an Infringement Claim or potential Infringement Claim, if a court of competent jurisdiction enjoins Customer from using a Product as a result of an Infringement Claim and NAKIVO is unable to have such injunction stayed or overturned, or if NAKIVO settles an Infringement Claim on terms that would require Customer to stop using the Product, then NAKIVO will, at its expense and election: (a) modify or replace the Product, (b) procure the right to continue using the Product, or (c) if in NAKIVO's reasonable judgment, neither (a) or (b) is commercially reasonable, (i) terminate Customer's License to the Product for any perpetual License, and (ii) for any non-perpetual License, release Customer from its obligation to make future payments for the Product. This Section contains Customer's exclusive remedies and NAKIVO's sole liability for Infringement Claims.
14. TERMINATION
Upon thirty (30) days' advance written notice, either party may terminate this Agreement for its convenience on a prospective basis; however, such termination will have no effect on Orders executed by the parties prior to its effective date and such Orders will remain in full force and effect under the terms of this Agreement. NAKIVO may: (i) terminate an Order and the Licenses to the Products on that Order if Customer fails to pay any applicable fees due under that Order within 30 days after receipt of written notice from NAKIVO of non-payment; (ii) terminate any or all Orders, Licenses to the Products and/or this Agreement, without notice or cure period, if Customer violates the intellectual property rights of NAKIVO, its Affiliates or licensors, or uses the Products outside of the scope of the applicable Licenses; or (iii) terminate all Licenses and this Agreement in whole or in part if Customer commits any other material breach of this Agreement and fails to correct the breach within 30 days after NAKIVO notifies Customer in writing of the breach. Upon any termination of a License, Customer will immediately uninstall and stop using the relevant Products, and upon NAKIVO's request, Customer will immediately return such Products to NAKIVO, together with all related Documentation and copies, or certify its destruction in writing. Neither party is liable for its failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement, other than a payment obligation, during any period in which performance is delayed by circumstances beyond that party's reasonable control.
15. AUDIT
If requested by NAKIVO not more than once in thirty (30) days, Customer agrees to deliver to NAKIVO periodic product usage reports generated from specific Products (when available) or written reports, whether generated manually or electronically, specifying Customer's use of the Products. Additionally, if requested by NAKIVO not more than once in ninety (90) days, Customer agrees to allow NAKIVO to perform an audit at Customer's facilities during normal business hours to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Customer agrees to cooperate during any such audit and to provide reasonable access to its information and systems. If an audit reveals that Customer has exceeded the Licensed Capacity for a Product, Customer agrees to pay the applicable fees for additional capacity. If the understated capacity exceeds 5% of the Licensed Capacity of the applicable Products, then Customer agrees to also pay NAKIVO's reasonable costs of conducting the audit.
16. EXPORT CONTROLS
By using the Technology (as this term is defined below), Customer acknowledges that it is responsible for complying with the applicable laws and regulations of the United States and all other relevant countries relating to exports and re-exports. Customer agrees that it will not download, access, license, or otherwise export or re-export, directly or indirectly, any software code (delivered as a NAKIVO Product and/or Service, through support or maintenance, or through other services), any technical publications relating to the software code, such as release notes, and reference, user, installation, systems administrator and technical guides, or services (collectively, "Technology") in violation of any such laws and regulations, including regulations prohibiting export to certain restricted countries ("Restricted Countries"), or without any written governmental authorization required by such applicable laws. The list of Restricted Countries may and does change from time to time.

Customer agrees that all rights to use the Technology are granted on the condition that such rights are forfeited if Customer fails to comply with these terms.
Regulation (EU) 2021/821 establishes a Union regime for controlling exports, brokering, technical assistance, transit and transfer of dual-use items and technology. The Technology is intended solely for civilian end uses.
Therefore, Customer agrees not to (a) use, export, re-export, transfer, release, or otherwise make the Technology available in violation of any applicable export control or sanctions laws; (b) license, download, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any Technology controlled by it to any military entity or to any other entity for military purposes, including any state security force, where prohibited by applicable law; or (c) knowingly transfer any Technology to end users for use in connection with chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons or missiles capable of delivering such weapons, where prohibited by applicable law, (d) export, re-export, transfer, or otherwise make the Technology available to any person or entity subject to applicable sanctions or export restrictions, or located in any country or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions, unless all required governmental authorizations have been obtained. Customer represents and warrants that it will comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws and regulations and will obtain any required export or re-export licenses or other governmental authorizations before transferring the Technology.
Customer also agrees: (a) not to export or re-export any Technology to an entity that is based in China that describes itself as "Institute" or "Academy"; and (b) not to knowingly export or re-export any Technology to any country that is subject to sanctions imposed by the European Union, United Nations, or Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe sanctions without first obtaining any required validated license.

THE AWARD RENDERED SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING UPON THE PARTIES AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO APPEAL TO ANY COURT, AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED AS PREVENTING EITHER PARTY FROM SEEKING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF FROM ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE PARTIES AND THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE DISPUTE AS NECESSARY TO PROTECT EITHER PARTY'S CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, OWNERSHIP, OR ANY OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. ALL ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN CONFIDENCE, AND THE PARTY PREVAILING IN ARBITRATION SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ITS REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES AND NECESSARY COSTS INCURRED RELATED THERETO FROM THE OTHER PARTY.
