    5. Survival. The following provisions will survive termination of this Agreement: Section 1 (“Definitions”), Section 3 (“Fees and Payment”) until you have paid all Fees and applicable Taxes, Section 4.4 (“Effect of Termination”), this Section 4.5 (“Survival”), Section 5 (“Confidentiality; Feedback”), Section 6.3 (“Anonymous Data”), Section 6.4 (“Aggregated Data”), Section 7 (“Intellectual Property”), Section 9.2 (“Your Additional Representations and Warranties”), Section 9.3 (“Our Disclaimer”), Section 10 (“Limitation of Liability”), Section 11 (“Indemnification”), and Section 12 (“General Provisions”).
  5. CONFIDENTIALITY; FEEDBACK.  
    1. Confidentiality. At all times the Receiving Party will protect and preserve the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as confidential, using no less care than that with which it protects and preserves its own confidential and proprietary information (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care), and will not use the Confidential Information for any purpose except to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement and applicable Order Forms. The Receiving Party may disclose, distribute, or disseminate the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any of its officers, directors, members, managers, partners, employees, contractors or agents (its “Representatives”), provided that the Receiving Party reasonably believes that its Representatives have a need to know and such Representatives are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those contained herein. The Receiving Party will not disclose, distribute, or disseminate the Confidential Information to any third party, other than its Representatives, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party will at all times remain responsible for any violations of this Agreement by any of its Representatives. If the Receiving Party is legally compelled to disclose any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Section. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions of this Section, the Receiving Party may furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which it is advised by its counsel is legally required to be disclosed, and will use its best efforts to insure that confidential treatment will be afforded such disclosed portion of the Confidential Information.
    2. Specific Performance and Injunctive Relief. The Receiving Party acknowledges that in the event of a breach of Section 5.1 by the Receiving Party or its Representatives, substantial injury could result to the Disclosing Party and money damages will not be a sufficient remedy for such breach. Therefore, in the event that the Receiving Party or its Representatives engage in, or threaten to engage in any act which violates Section 5.1, the Disclosing Party will be entitled, in addition to all other remedies which may be available to it under law, to seek injunctive relief (including, without limitation, temporary restraining orders, or preliminary or permanent injunctions) and specific enforcement of the terms of Section 5.1. The Disclosing Party will not be required to post a bond or other security in connection with the granting of any such relief.
    3. Feedback. During the Subscription Term, you may elect to provide us with feedback, comments, and suggestions with respect to the Platform, the Website, or the Services (“Feedback”). You agree that Pluralytics will be free to use, reproduce, disclose, and otherwise exploit any and all such Feedback without compensation or attribution to you.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are not obligated to indemnify, defend, or hold Subscriber or your Representatives harmless with respect to any third-party Claim to the extent the third-party Claim arises from or is based upon (i) Subscriber’s or your Authorized Users’ use of the Platform, the Website, or the Data Products not in accordance with the Documentation, this Agreement, or an Order Form; (ii) any unauthorized modifications, alterations, or implementations of the Platform, the Website, or the Data Products made by or on behalf of Subscriber (other than by Pluralytics); (iii) use of the Platform, the Website, and/or the Data Products in combination with unauthorized modules, apparatus, hardware, software, or services not supplied or specified in writing by us; or (iv) use of the Platform, the Website, or the Data Products in a manner or for a purpose for which they were not designed. This Section 11.2 states your sole and exclusive remedy, and our sole and exclusive liability, regarding any third-party Claim.
    3. Procedure. The indemnification obligations set forth in Section 11.1 and Section 11.2 are subject to the indemnified Party: (i) promptly notifying the indemnifying Party of the Claim; (ii) providing the indemnifying Party, at its sole cost and expense, with reasonable cooperation in the defense of the Claim; and (iii) providing the indemnifying Party with sole control over the defense and negotiations for a settlement or compromise of the Claim, provided that the indemnifying Party may not make any admission of liability on behalf of the indemnified Party without the indemnified Party’s approval.
  12. GENERAL PROVISIONS.    
    1. Assignment. Neither Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior, written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that a Party may, upon written notice to the other Party and without the consent of the other Party, assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement: (i) to any of its Affiliates; or (ii) in connection with a change of control transaction (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of equity interests, sale of all or substantially all assets, or otherwise), provided that in all cases, the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any assignment or other transfer in violation of this Section will be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Order Form will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.
    2. Waiver. Subject to the last sentence in Section 10, no failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement will operate, or be deemed to operate, as a waiver of any such right or remedy.
    3. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard for choice of law provisions thereof.
    4. Exclusive Forum. The Parties hereby consent and agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware, County of Kent for all suits, actions, or proceedings directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Order Form, and waive any and all objections to such courts, including but not limited to, objections based on improper venue or inconvenient forum, and each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suits, actions, or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Order Form.
    5. Notices. All notices required under this Agreement or any Order Form (other than routine operational communications) must be in writing and will be delivered either personally or by e-mail, national overnight courier or the U.S. Postal Service to each Party’s notices contact and address as provided in the applicable Order Form. Notices will be effective upon: (i) actual delivery to the other Party, if delivered in person or by e-mail, or national overnight courier; or (ii) five (5) business days after being mailed via the U.S. Postal Service, postage prepaid.
    6. Independent Contractors. As between themselves, the Parties are independent contractors. Neither Party will be deemed to be an employee, agent, partner, joint venturer, or legal representative of the other Party for any purpose, and neither Party will have any right, power, or authority to obligate the other Party.
    7. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any Order Form is found invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same economic effect as the original provision, and the remainder of this Agreement or the Order Form will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement or any Order Form, which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction, will be ineffective only as to that jurisdiction, and only to the extent of such unenforceability, without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.
    8. Force Majeure. Except for your obligations to pay any Fees and Taxes hereunder, neither Party will be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement or any Order Form for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by reasons beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of any governmental body, war, insurrection, sabotage, armed conflict, terrorism, embargo, fire, flood, strike or other labor disturbance, unavailability of or interruption or delay in telecommunications or third-party services, or virus attacks or hackers.
    9. Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Parties agree that there are no third-party beneficiaries under this Agreement or any Order Form.
    10. Publicity. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, during the Subscription Term, we may refer to you as a customer and user of the Platform and the Website. In connection therewith, we may use your name and corporate logos. Any goodwill arising from the use of such name and logos will inure solely to your benefit. All other publicity regarding this Agreement and any Order Form must be mutually coordinated and approved by the Parties.
    11. Export. You will not export or re-export, either directly or indirectly, the Platform, the Website, the Data Products, or any copies thereof in such manner as to violate the export laws and regulations of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction in effect from time to time (including, without limitation, when such export or re-export requires an export license or other governmental approval without first obtaining such license or approval). Without limiting the foregoing, you will not permit Authorized Users or any third parties to access or use the Platform, the Website, the Services, or the Data Products in violation of any United States export embargo, prohibition, or restriction.
    12. Modifications to this Agreement. Pluralytics may modify the terms of this Agreement at any time upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to you. It is your responsibility to check the Website periodically for such updates.
    13. Complete Understanding. This Agreement, and all executed Order Forms, constitute the final and complete agreement between the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, or agreements between the Parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any term contained in an Order Form, the terms of this Agreement will govern, unless such Order Form includes the section numbers of this Agreement that the Parties expressly agree no longer govern or are modified for the matters covered thereby. No term included in any confirmation, acceptance, purchase order, or any other similar document from Subscriber will change this Agreement or any Order Form or have any force or effect.
