Those safeguards will include, but will not be limited to, measures designed to prevent unauthorized access, storage, disclosure or any other unauthorized use of Your Data, except:

From time to time, We may make Beta Services available to You, free of charge. You may choose to try such Beta Services or not at Your sole discretion. We may discontinue or modify the Beta Services at any time at Our sole discretion.

Since Beta Services are provided for trial and evaluation purposes only (and not for production uses), such Beta Services are provided “as-is” and are not covered by any warranty or support whatsoever. Your use of the Beta Services is carried out at Your own risk and peril and Klient shall not be held liable for any damages that may be caused by such use of the Beta Services. You understand that Beta Services are services not yet approved for commercial use and that they may contain errors and not perform as expected.

Notwithstanding Section 8 and Section 9.1 below, during the Free Trial, Services are provided “as-is” without any warranty whatsoever and We shall have no indemnification obligations nor liability of any type with respect to the Services provided during the Free Trial period, unless such exclusion of liability is not enforceable under applicable law, in which case Our liability with respect to the Services provided during the Free Trial shall not exceed $1,000.00.

You agree that Klient, in its sole discretion and for any or no reason, may terminate, limit or otherwise alter Your access to the Free Services or any part thereof. You also agree that such termination, limitation or alteration of Your access to the Free Services may be done without any prior notice, and You agree that We will not be held liable to You or any third party for such termination, limitation or alteration.

You are solely responsible for exporting Your Data from the Free Services prior to the termination of Your access to the Free Services, provided that if We terminate Your account, except as required by law, We will provide You with a reasonable opportunity to retrieve Your Data.

Notwithstanding Section 8 and Section 9.1 below, the Free Services are provided “as-is” without any warranty whatsoever and We shall have no indemnification obligations nor liability of any type with respect to the Free Services, unless such exclusion of liability is not enforceable under applicable law, in which case Our liability with respect to the Free Services shall not exceed $1,000.00.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY

7.1. Definition of Confidential Information.

Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), either 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. Your Confidential Information includes Your Data; Our Confidential Information includes the Services and Content, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Order Forms (including pricing). Confidential Information of each party includes business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes 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 without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or
(iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.

For the avoidance of doubt, the non-disclosure obligations set forth in this Section 7 apply to Confidential Information exchanged between the parties in connection with the evaluation of additional Klient services.

7.2. Protection of Confidential Information.

As between the parties, each party retains all ownership rights in and to its Confidential Information. 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) to:

(i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement; and
(ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein.

Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, We may disclose the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Order Form to a subcontractor or Non-Klient Application Providers to the extent necessary to perform Our obligations under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein.

7.3. Compelled Disclosure.

The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
