6.1 Each party (the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose to the other (the “Receiving Party”) certain confidential technical and business information which the Disclosing Party desires the Receiving Party to treat as confidential. “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by either party to the other party, either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, electronically or by inspection of tangible objects (including but not limited to documents, technical data, trade secrets and know-how, services, suppliers, customer information, prices and costs, software, databases, developments, processes, employee information, budgets and other business information), which is designated as “Confidential,” “Proprietary” or some similar designation at or prior to the time of disclosure, or which should otherwise reasonably be considered confidential by the Receiving Party. Confidential Information may also include information disclosed to a Disclosing Party by third parties. Confidential Information shall not, however, include any information which the Receiving Party can document (i) was publicly known and made generally available prior to the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party or an authorized third party; (ii) becomes publicly known and made generally available after disclosure through no action or inaction of the Receiving Party in violation of any obligation of confidentiality; or (iii) is already in the possession of the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure.
6.2 Subscriber will take all reasonable steps to safeguard the Services to ensure that no unauthorized person has access and that no unauthorized copy, publication, disclosure or distribution, in any form is made. The Services contain valuable, confidential information and trade secrets and unauthorized use or copying is harmful to Access Informer. Subscriber may not directly or indirectly transfer, assign, publish, display, disclose, rent, lease, modify, loan, distribute, or create derivative works based on the Services or any part thereof.

7.2 Access Informer will use reasonable efforts to remedy any significant non-conformance in the Services which is reported to Access Informer and that Access Informer can reasonably identify and confirm. Access Informer at its discretion will repair or replace any such non-conforming or defective Services, or refund a pro-rata portion of the unused Subscription Fees paid for the remainder of the then current term. This paragraph sets forth Subscribers sole and exclusive remedy and Access Informer’s entire liability for any breach of warranty or other duty related to the Services. Any unauthorized modification of the Services, tampering with the Services, use of the Services inconsistent with the accompanying documentation, or related breach of this Agreement voids the warranty. Except as explicitly stated and to the extent allowed by law, there are no other warranties, express or implied.

In no event will access informer’s aggregate liability arising out of or related to this agreement exceed the total amount actually paid to access informer for the applicable services over the one year period prior to the event out of which the claim arose for the services that directly caused the liability.

This Agreement remains valid and active until terminated by either party at any time in writing and at least 30 days prior to the end of the Subscription Term. Subscriber is able to use the Software and services provided until the end of the Subscription Term specified in the Order and is not entitled to a refund of any prepaid or other fees. Access Informer may terminate this Agreement if Access Informer finds that Subscriber has violated the Agreement.

11. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction.
