Following the Term, UtilityAPI shall have no obligation to maintain or provide any Company Data.

The following provisions shall survive termination of this Agreement:

“Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Company’s Confidential Information includes Company Data; UtilityAPI’s Confidential Information includes the Services; and Confidential Information of each party includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as well as business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, patents, copyrights, trade secrets or other intellectual property of any kind of nature, plans for future development and new product concepts, and strategies disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party who rightfully possess the information without confidential or proprietary restrictions, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, or with advanced written authorization by the Disclosing Party, each Party covenants and agrees that it will not use, or publish, communicate, divulge, or disclose to any person, firm, or corporation any Confidential Information of any other Party, except as necessary in the performance of the terms of this Agreement or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care). Liability for damages due to disclosure of the Confidential Information by any such third party shall be with the Party that disclosed the Confidential Information to the third party. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this Section 7.2.

In the event that the recipient of Confidential Information is requested or becomes legally compelled to disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party, it is agreed that the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice of such request(s) to enable the Disclosing Party, at its sole cost and expense, to seek a protective order or take other lawful steps to protect and preserve the confidential nature of the Confidential Information, and the Receiving Party will cooperate with such efforts by the Disclosing Party. Each Party agrees that it will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to that portion of the Confidential Information and other information which is being disclosed.

As requested by the Disclosing Party during the Term, upon expiration or any termination of this Agreement, or completion of the obligations of the Receiving Party, as applicable, the Receiving Party shall (a) return or destroy, as the Disclosing Party may direct, and in the manner reasonably directed by the Disclosing Party, all material in any medium that contains, refers to, or relates to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, and (b) retain no copies except one copy solely to the extent, if any, required compliance with record retention requirements under applicable law; provided, however, that no Party will be obligated to erase Confidential Information subject to a license granted herein or contained in an archived computer system backup made in accordance with such Party’s security and/or disaster recovery procedures, provided that such archived copy will (a) eventually be erased or destroyed in the ordinary course of such Party’s data processing procedures and (b) will remain fully subject to the obligations of confidentiality and security stated herein.

In the event of any actual or suspected misuse, disclosure or loss of, or inability to account for, any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party promptly shall notify the Disclosing Party within three business days and cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Disclosing Party to minimize the violation and any damage resulting therefrom.

Each party represents that it has validly entered into this Agreement and has the legal power to do so.

UtilityAPI warrants that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Company with the Services in accordance with Section 2.1. For any breach of an above warranty, Company’s exclusive remedies are those described in Sections 6.3 Termination for Cause and Section 6.4 Refund Upon Termination for Cause.

Company warrants that (a) at all times during the term of this Agreement, Company shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, and the terms of this Agreement and (b) Company’s use of the Services or execution of this Agreement does not and will not conflict with Company’s obligations to any third parties, including, without limitation, Company’s employees, agents, or independent contractors.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, THE SERVICES AND ALL RELATED COMPONENTS AND INFORMATION ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND UTILITYAPI EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT UTILITYAPI DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, UTILITYAPI DOES NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OF UTILITY DATA EACH PARTY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS FOR ANY HARM OR DAMAGES CAUSED BY ANY THIRD-PARTY HOSTING PROVIDERS.

IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY) EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF USAGE FEES BY COMPANY HEREUNDER IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE LAST EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.

IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, COVER OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

Company shall defend UtilityAPI and its Affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees and contractors, from and against any and all third party claims, actions and demands alleging Company's use of the Services, in breach of this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of a third party or violates applicable law (including, without limitation, Company’s failure to obtain Consent or Company’s violation of a Utility User’s privacy rights) (collectively, a “Claim Against UtilityAPI”), and shall indemnify UtilityAPI for any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against UtilityAPI as a result of, or for any amounts paid by UtilityAPI under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim Against UtilityAPI. For a Claim Against UtilityAPI, Company controls the defense and settlement of the Claim Against UtilityAPI and UtilityAPI agrees to give Company all reasonable assistance, at Company’s expense. Company will not settle, compromise, or otherwise enter into any agreement regarding the disposition of any Claim Against UtilityAPI without the prior written consent and approval of UtilityAPI unless such settlement (a) is solely for a cash payment, (b) requires no admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of UtilityAPI, (c) imposes no affirmative obligation on UtilityAPI, (d) imposes no restriction on UtilityAPI’s business, (e) provides that the parties to such settlement shall keep the terms of the settlement confidential, and (f) provides for a full and complete release of UtilityAPI.

UtilityAPI will defend Company against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against Company by a third party alleging that the use of the Services in accordance with this Agreement infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights (a “Claim Against Company”), and will indemnify Company from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Company as a result of, or for amounts paid by Company under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim Against Company, provided Company (a) promptly give UtilityAPI written notice of the Claim Against Company, (b) give UtilityAPI sole control of the defense (including selection of attorneys) and settlement of the Claim Against Company (except that UtilityAPI may not settle any Claim Against Company unless it releases Company of all liability), and (c) give UtilityAPI necessary assistance, at UtilityAPI’s expense. The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply to the extent a Claim Against Company arises from (i) Company Data; (ii) Company’s negligence, misconduct, or breach of this Agreement; (iii) any modification, combination or development of the Services that is not performed by UtilityAPI; or (iv) the use of any version of software other than the most current release made available by UtilityAPI.

This “Mutual Indemnification” section states the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of claim described in this section.

The state and federal courts located in Alameda County, California shall have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees.

Neither party shall be liable hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations on account of events beyond the reasonable control of such party, which may include denial-of-service attacks, strikes, shortages, riots, fires, acts of God, war, terrorism, cyber-warfare, state-sponsored attacks, and governmental action.

The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or employment relationship between the parties.

There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that right.

If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision shall be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.

This Agreement has been prepared with the participation of each Party and will not be strictly construed against either Party. Each party acknowledges that it has consulted with or had the opportunity to consult with counsel of its choice, and that in executing this Agreement it has not relied upon any statements, representations or agreements other than those expressly contained herein.

Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, either party may assign this Agreement in its entirety, without the other party’s consent to an Affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, provided that such party assumes or is otherwise fully bound by all of the obligations of the assigning party under the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party is acquired by, sells substantially all of its assets to, or undergoes a change of control in favor of, a direct competitor of the other party, then such other party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice. In the event of such a termination, UtilityAPI will refund to Company any money remaining in its Fund. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns. In the event of a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of UtilityAPI’s assets, the acquiring party will not acquire Authorization Data.

This Agreement is the entire agreement between Company and UtilityAPI regarding Company’s use of Services and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the modification, amendment or waiver is to be asserted. The parties agree that any term or condition stated in Company’s purchase order or in any other of Company’s order documentation (excluding Order as defined herein) is void. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence shall be: (1) the applicable Order, and (2) this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall any terms or conditions in this Agreement or any other document be agreed, accepted, waived or modified via a “Void Contracting Method.” A “Void Contracting Method” is one in which an agreement or acceptance purportedly takes place within or through products or services or an application, website, or portal operated by or for UtilityAPI through Company action (such as electronic signature, checking a box, or clicking to accept) or inaction, even if Company is informed that such action or inaction will constitute agreement or acceptance. Any terms or conditions purportedly accepted or agreed via a Void Contracting Method shall be void and of no legal consequence.
