Customer's permitted use case will be described on the applicable Order Form or separate addendum mutually executed by the parties that references this Agreement ("Addendum").
With respect to any Order Form that includes On-Premise Software, subject to the terms of this Agreement, BigGeo grants to Customer a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as part of a permitted assignment of this Agreement), non-sublicensable license during the Service term of such Order Form to install, integrate and use for its own internal business purposes such On-Premise Software on the Source and Target Systems.
To the extent Customer's Affiliates wish to make separate purchases, any of Customer's Affiliates may execute a new Order Form specifically for that Affiliate entity and such Customer Affiliate will be subject to this Agreement as if such Customer Affiliate were a signatory to this Agreement. In such cases, the obligations of the Customer under this Agreement shall apply to the Customer's Affiliate, and the Customer shall remain liable for such obligations.
This Agreement specifies the terms and conditions under which BigGeo Products or Professional Services are provisioned by BigGeo to Customer, whether purchased directly through BigGeo or indirectly through a BigGeo Partner. Purchases through a BigGeo Partner will be placed through a separate agreement, ordering document or online order between Customer and a BigGeo Partner, or online order process completed by Customer and confirmed by a BigGeo Partner (any of the foregoing, the "Partner Sales Agreement") which shall address, as between Customer and the BigGeo Partner, any terms and conditions relating to the quantity of products and services purchased, fees, payment (including any applicable refunds), taxes and renewals. The Partner Sales Agreement is between Customer and the BigGeo Partner and is not binding on BigGeo, and any disputes related to the Partner Sales Agreement shall be handled directly between Customer and the BigGeo Partner. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and a Partner Sales Agreement, this Agreement shall govern as between BigGeo and Customer. Customer agrees that, in connection with Professional Services or BigGeo Products purchased through a BigGeo Partner: (a) BigGeo may share data or information with, or receive data or information from, the BigGeo Partner related to Customer's use and consumption of the BigGeo Products; (b) all payments of fees, refunds and credits, if any, are payable by or to the BigGeo Partner; and (c) the BigGeo Partner is not authorized to make any changes to this Agreement or otherwise authorized to make any warranties, representations, promises or commitments on behalf of BigGeo.
BigGeo reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make any changes to the BigGeo Products, Documentation, Professional Services or any other offerings provided by or on behalf of BigGeo that it deems necessary or useful to: (a) maintain or enhance: (i) the quality or delivery of BigGeo's products and services to its customers, (ii) the competitive strength of or market for BigGeo's products and services, or (iii) the cost efficiency or performance of the products and services; or (b) to comply with applicable law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, BigGeo may monitor Customer's use of the BigGeo Product and collect and compile Systems Data. As between BigGeo and Customer, all right, title, and interest in Systems Data, and all intellectual property rights therein, belong to and are retained solely by BigGeo. Customer acknowledges that BigGeo may compile Systems Data based on Customer Data's use of and input into BigGeo Product and Professional Services. Customer agrees that BigGeo may use Systems Data (i) to make amendments to the BigGeo Product, Professional Services, Documentation and in the development of other BigGeo products and systems; (ii) to compile and create aggregated statistics and analysis, which may be made publicly available in compliance with applicable law, and (iii) to the extent and in the manner permitted under applicable law; provided that such Systems Data or compiled aggregated statistics and analysis do not identify Customer or Customer's Confidential Information.
Notwithstanding anything herein, Customer is solely responsible for (a) the accuracy, content and legality of all Customer Data and warrants that it has sufficient rights in the Customer Data to permit: (i) Customer's use and receipt of the BigGeo Products, and (ii) BigGeo's use of, access to, and processing of Customer Data pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) the acts and omissions of its employees, contractors and Authorized Users and their compliance with this Agreement.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that it has not and shall not upload any Personal Information as part of the Customer Data without BigGeo's prior written approval, which may be withheld in BigGeo's sole discretion. Where Customer wishes to upload, transmit, or otherwise provide to BigGeo any EU/EEA Personal Data, Customer and BigGeo must first execute a mutually agreed Data Processing Agreement ("DPA") governing BigGeo's processing of such data in compliance with the GDPR. Customer, as the data controller, represents and warrants that prior to uploading any EU/EEA Personal Data it has: (i) identified and documented a valid lawful basis for processing under Article 6 of the GDPR (and Article 9, where applicable for special category data); (ii) provided all required notices to data subjects; and (iii) ensured that any cross-border transfer of EU/EEA Personal Data to BigGeo is supported by an appropriate transfer mechanism under Chapter V of the GDPR, including Standard Contractual Clauses where required. Any upload of EU/EEA Personal Data in the absence of an executed DPA shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and Customer shall indemnify BigGeo for any regulatory exposure, penalties, or compliance obligations arising therefrom.
If so specified in the applicable Order Form or Addendum, Customer may offer the applicable BigGeo Product to its customers as part of an integrated product, subject to (a) a written agreement with each end-customer that conditions its authorization to use the BigGeo Product on its acceptance of the terms, and (b) BigGeo's prior approval of the integrated product and specific use case proposed by Customer for its customers. Customer may not accept, and acknowledges that BigGeo will not be bound by, any terms or conditions with Customer's customers that modify, add to or change in any way this Agreement (including any Order Form or Addendum). Customer is responsible for providing first-level support to its customers regarding BigGeo Product-related issues; BigGeo will provide support only to Customer regarding such BigGeo Product. Customer is responsible for its end-customer's use of the BigGeo Products under this section in a manner that conforms with the Documentation and restrictions set forth in this Agreement. To the extent BigGeo reasonably believes that Customer or any of Customer's customers are not in compliance with this Section 3.2, BigGeo shall have the right to immediately suspend or terminate Customer's use of the BigGeo Product(s) and will provide notice of any such suspension or termination.
BigGeo may from time to time make BigGeo Products available to Customer via Third Party Platforms. For the purposes of this Agreement, access to or use of Third Party Platforms are subject to their own terms and conditions. If Customer does not agree to abide by the applicable terms for any such Third-Party Platforms, then Customer should not install or use such Third-Party Platforms. In such circumstances, Customer acknowledges that the Customer's failure or refusal to use Third-Party Platforms may result in BigGeo being unable to provide the BigGeo Product or other related services to the Customer.

Processing of EU/EEA Personal Data by BigGeo on Customer's behalf shall be governed by the applicable DPA executed by both parties prior to any such processing. The DPA is incorporated into and forms part of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the DPA and this Agreement relating to EU/EEA Personal Data, the DPA shall prevail.
To the extent technically feasible and as further described in the applicable DPA, BigGeo will assist Customer in responding to data subject requests under the GDPR, including requests relating to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to object.
BigGeo has assessed its obligations under applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR, with respect to the appointment of a Data Protection Officer (DPO).
Based on the nature, scope, and scale of its processing activities, BigGeo has determined that it is not currently required to designate a DPO. In particular, BigGeo does not engage in large-scale systematic monitoring of individuals, nor does it process special categories of personal data on a large scale.
Notwithstanding this determination, BigGeo remains committed to maintaining high standards of data protection and privacy. Responsibility for data protection compliance is assigned to appropriate internal personnel, and BigGeo has implemented policies, procedures, and controls designed to ensure ongoing compliance with applicable data protection requirements.
Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.2, all information disclosed by one party to the other party during the term of this Agreement, whether in oral, written, graphic or electronic form, shall be deemed to be "Confidential Information". Confidential Information of BigGeo includes non-public information regarding features, functionality and performance of the BigGeo Products and Professional Services. Customer Data is considered Customer's Confidential Information. The receiving party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of any Confidential Information of the disclosing party using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, which shall not fall below a reasonable standard of care.
Confidential Information does not include information which: (a) is part of the public domain at the time of disclosure; (b) becomes a part of the public domain through no fault of the receiving party or persons or entities to whom the receiving party has disclosed, transferred or permitted access to such information; (c) becomes available to the receiving party on a non-confidential basis from a source legally entitled to share the information without confidential treatment; (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of or access to the disclosing party's Confidential Information; or (e) is released from the confidentiality obligations herein by written consent of the disclosing party.
The receiving party will not disclose any Confidential Information of the disclosing party to any person or entity, except: (a) to agents of the receiving party who have a need to know such information and who are subject to confidentiality agreements with the receiving party at least as protective of the disclosing party's Confidential Information as this Agreement, or (b) as required to be disclosed by law by any governmental or other regulatory authority, securities exchange or pursuant to the terms of a valid and effective subpoena or court order, provided that the receiving party immediately notifies the disclosing party (to the extent permitted) of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such a request so that the disclosing party may seek appropriate protective action. The receiving party may not use the disclosing party's Confidential Information for any purpose other than to exercise its rights and comply with its obligations under this Agreement.
On the disclosing party's request, the receiving party must return or destroy all Confidential Information of the disclosing party which has been supplied to or acquired by the receiving party, other than: (a) records the receiving party has a separate legal right or obligation to retain; and (b) copies of such Confidential Information created in the ordinary course of the receiving party's business and retained in accordance with its internal document retention and information technology policies. To the extent the receiving party retains such Confidential Information, the receiving party will continue to protect such Confidential Information in accordance with Sections 4.1 and 4.3 for so long as it meets the definition of Confidential Information.
Customer shall not use the BigGeo IP for any purposes beyond the scope granted in this Agreement and the relevant Order Form. Customer will not, and will not allow, permit or assist any Authorized User or third party to, directly or indirectly:
(a) reverse engineer, copy, adapt, decompile, disassemble, modify, create derivative works of, derive or otherwise attempt to discover the source code underlying any BigGeo IP; resell any BigGeo IP or use any BigGeo IP for timesharing or service bureau purposes or otherwise for the benefit of a third party, except as part of a "Powered by BigGeo" deployment identified on an Order Form; attempt to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of any BigGeo IP; breach the security or authentication measures of any BigGeo IP without proper authorization or willfully render any part of a BigGeo IP unusable; use or access any BigGeo IP to develop a product or service that is competitive with any BigGeo Product, engage in competitive analysis or benchmarking, or publicly disseminate performance information or analysis regarding any BigGeo IP; remove any proprietary notices or labels on any BigGeo IP; or use any BigGeo IP in any manner or for any purpose that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property right or other right of any person, in violation of any applicable laws or regulations (including any export law) or outside the scope expressly permitted hereunder (including in the applicable Order Form);
(b) post, upload, forward, or otherwise transmit any file or software code which contains, facilitates, or launches viruses, worms, trojan horses or any other contaminating or destructive features, or that otherwise interferes with the proper working of any BigGeo Product; attempt to access any other BigGeo systems that are not part of a BigGeo Product; use any BigGeo IP to upload, post, process, distribute, link to, publish, reproduce, or transmit any information, software or content for which Customer does not have the legal right to engage in such activities;
(c) post, upload, forward or otherwise transmit any illegal, fraudulent, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, profane, threatening, abusive, hateful, harassing, offensive, inappropriate or objectionable information or communications of any kind; or
(d) with respect to On-Premise Software: (i) translate or localize any On-Premise Software; (ii) redistribute, encumber, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, display, publish, disclose or otherwise transfer rights to any On-Premise Software, in whole or in part, to any third party; or (iii) allow any third party (other than contractors that are Users) to access or use the On-Premise Software.
Customer and its Authorized Users will use the BigGeo IP in compliance with this Agreement, the applicable Order Form, the Documentation, and all applicable laws and regulations. Without limiting its other remedies, BigGeo may suspend or terminate Customer's access to the BigGeo Products or prohibit any use of the BigGeo Products if Customer breaches any of the above restrictions in this section or if Customer's use of a BigGeo Product presents a risk of material harm to any BigGeo Products, BigGeo, or other parties, provided that, where practicable, BigGeo will give Customer prior notice thereof so that Customer may seek to resolve the issue and avoid suspension or termination.
The parties agree that damages would be an inadequate remedy in the event of a breach of this Section 4. Therefore, the parties agree that a party is entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies otherwise available, to seek injunctive and other equitable relief in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the other party of this Section 4.
Customer owns all right, title and interest in and to the Customer Data and Customer Confidential Information. Customer grants BigGeo all necessary rights to process Customer Data in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. BigGeo owns and retains all right, title and interest in and to the BigGeo IP. All rights not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved by BigGeo.
Customer hereby grants to BigGeo a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up right and licence, during the Term, to use and display Customer's name and logo on BigGeo's website and marketing materials in connection with identifying Customer as a customer. Subject to Customer's prior written approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), if BigGeo requests, Customer also agrees to participate in a news release, case study, video testimonial, and/or cooperate with BigGeo in presenting at a BigGeo event or speaking to the media.
BigGeo will maintain commercially reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Customer Data. Those safeguards will include measures for preventing access, use, modification or disclosure of Customer Data by BigGeo, except (a) to provide the applicable BigGeo Product and to prevent or address service or technical problems, (b) as provided in Section 5.2 below, or (c) as Customer expressly permits in this Agreement or otherwise in writing. Where Customer Data includes EU/EEA Personal Data, BigGeo's processing of such data shall be governed by the terms of the applicable executed Data Processing Agreement, and BigGeo shall process such data in accordance with the GDPR and applicable Data Protection Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer and Authorized Users shall remain responsible for and agree to (i) keep all login information related to accessing BigGeo Product, Index or Professional Services, including Third-Party Platform login information, confidential; and (ii) promptly notify BigGeo and the Third-Party Platform, as applicable, if Customer and/or Authorized Users become aware or reasonably suspect any illegal or unauthorized activity or a security breach involving your account, including any loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure or use of a User ID or account. BigGeo will have no obligations or liability as to any loss resulting from Customer and/or the Authorized User's failure to safeguard login information linked to this Agreement and Order Form.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that BigGeo may transfer or process Customer Data using a Third Party Platform or other data service providers, provided that such activities shall be in compliance with Section 5.1 above. Where such transfer or processing involves EU/EEA Personal Data, BigGeo shall ensure that any transfer to third parties outside the EU/EEA is supported by an appropriate transfer mechanism under Chapter V of the GDPR, including Standard Contractual Clauses where required, and as further described in the applicable DPA.
Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, in the event BigGeo has any Customer Data, BigGeo shall delete all such Customer Data from its systems without retaining any copies thereof (other than copies retained in accordance with BigGeo's internal document retention and information technology policies). For greater certainty, BigGeo shall have no obligation to retain or return any Customer Data upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where Customer Data includes EU/EEA Personal Data, BigGeo's obligations regarding retention, deletion, and return of such data upon termination shall be as further described in the applicable DPA, which shall govern in the event of any conflict with this Section 5.3.
Customer is responsible for security relating to its environment, particularly its Source and Target Systems, and security relating to its configuration of the BigGeo Products. This includes implementing and managing procedural, technical, and administrative safeguards on its systems and networks sufficient to: (a) ensure the confidentiality, security, integrity, and privacy of Customer Data; and (b) follow the principle of least privilege when connecting the BigGeo Products to Customer's Source and Target Systems, especially by granting no more than read-only access to data sources. Customer is also responsible for provisioning Authorized Users, including: (i) methods of authenticating Authorized Users (such as SSO or industry-standard secure username/password policies); (ii) managing admin privileges; (iii) deauthorizing personnel who no longer need access to the applicable BigGeo Product; and (iv) setting up any API usage in a secure way. BigGeo will have no obligations or liability as to any loss resulting from Customer's security configuration or administration of the BigGeo Products.
Customer will pay BigGeo the applicable fees described in each Order Form (the "Fees"), except if Customer is purchasing a BigGeo Product or Professional Services through a BigGeo Partner as specified in a Partner Sales Agreement. All Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable, except as expressly provided otherwise herein. If Customer's use of a BigGeo Product exceeds the usage or capacity set forth on the applicable Order Form, or otherwise requires the payment of additional Fees (per the terms of this Agreement), BigGeo will invoice Customer in arrears for such additional usage or capacity, and Customer agrees to pay the additional Fees in the manner provided herein.
BigGeo will bill for the BigGeo Products or Professional Services through an invoice, through the marketplace where the original purchase was made, or directly through credit card if provided. Full payment for invoices must be received by BigGeo within the payment terms described in the Order Form, after the issuance of the invoice (which may be sent by email). If Customer is paying by credit card, Customer represents and warrants that it has the right to use the credit card provided and grants BigGeo the right and authorization to provide the credit card information, including the credit card number, its expiration date, its security code, and billing address, to third parties for the purposes of facilitating payment transactions. BigGeo reserves the right to charge a 3% surcharge for any credit card payments. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any payment transaction. Unpaid amounts are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, and, without limiting its other remedies, BigGeo may suspend or terminate Customer's access to the BigGeo Products if Customer's account is 30 days or more overdue. If Customer believes that BigGeo has billed Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact BigGeo no later than 60 days after the date of the first billing statement in which the error or problem appeared (the "Adjustment Period"), in order to receive an adjustment or credit. Inquiries should be directed to BigGeo's customer support department. After the Adjustment Period, all payable amounts are final without adjustments.
All amounts payable by Customer under this Agreement are exclusive of all applicable sales, use, value added, excise, property, withholding or similar tax and any related tariffs, and similar charges (collectively, "Taxes"). Customer is responsible for payment of all Taxes, except taxes based on BigGeo's net income. If Customer is required to pay any such taxes, Customer shall pay such taxes with no reduction or offset in the amounts payable to BigGeo hereunder. If an applicable tax authority requires BigGeo to pay any taxes that should have been payable by Customer, BigGeo will advise Customer in writing, and Customer will promptly reimburse BigGeo for the amounts paid.
With respect to On-Premise Software, if Customer's system configuration blocks BigGeo's ability to determine the monthly amounts owed for Customer's use of such On-Premise Software, then at BigGeo's request Customer will provide a monthly report and such other reasonably requested information in order for BigGeo to determine such amounts, including a breakdown of Authorized Users, data sources and destinations between Customer-internal usage and PBG usage ("On Premise Usage Report"). BigGeo reserves the right to audit any On Premise Usage Report, and where such On Premise Usage Report under-calculates any amounts, BigGeo may invoice Customer in arrears for such discrepancies, and Customer agrees to pay the additional Fees as invoiced.
This Agreement will continue from the Effective Date until terminated as set forth below (the "Term"). The initial term of each Order Form will begin on the effective date of such Order Form and will continue for the Service term set forth therein, provided that if Customer is on a monthly plan (a) such Order Form will continue until such date as the applicable monthly plan is canceled, and (b) after cancellation, Customer may revive its account by notifying BigGeo of its desire to do so, and may do so if Customer's account is in good standing. If Customer uses any BigGeo Product after the end of the Service term listed on the Order Form, Customer will be billed in arrears according to the Order Form for any continued usage of such BigGeo Product. Except with respect to monthly plans, each Order Form will renew automatically for successive one-year periods on BigGeo's then-current Order Form terms and conditions, unless a party provides notice of nonrenewal to the other party at least 60 days prior to expiration of the then-applicable Service term.
Each party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party if there are no Order Forms then in effect. Each party may also terminate this Agreement or the applicable Order Form upon written notice (a) if the other party materially breaches any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or the applicable Order Form (including any failure to pay any amounts when due) and fails to cure such breach within 30 days after written notice describing the breach; or (b) immediately if a party files for bankruptcy or is the subject of an involuntary filing in bankruptcy (in the latter case, which filing is not discharged within 60 days), makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a trustee is appointed over all or a substantial portion of its assets, or if a material breach by its nature is incapable of being cured. Upon any expiration or termination, (i) Customer remains obligated to pay the balance due on Customer's account accrued prior to expiration or termination, and will be billed for such unpaid fees, and (ii) Customer shall immediately cease using the applicable BigGeo Products.
All sections of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including accrued rights to payment, and terms and conditions relating to proprietary rights, technology restrictions, confidentiality, disclaimers, termination and limitations of liability and the miscellaneous provisions below.
Each of BigGeo and Customer warrants that: (a) it has the legal power and authority to enter into this Agreement; (b) the person signing or accepting this Agreement on its behalf is a duly authorized representative of such party with the authority to bind such party to this Agreement; (c) its entry herein does not violate any other agreement by which it is bound; (d) it is a legal entity in good standing in the jurisdiction of its formation; and (e) it will use industry-standard measures to avoid introducing viruses or other malicious code into the BigGeo Product.
BigGeo warrants that the BigGeo Product will perform materially as described in the Documentation and BigGeo will not materially decrease the overall functionality of the BigGeo Product during the applicable Service term (the "Performance Warranty"). BigGeo will use reasonable efforts to correct a verified breach of the Performance Warranty reported by Customer. If BigGeo fails to do so within a reasonable period of time after receipt of Customer's warranty report, then either party may terminate the applicable Order Form as it relates to the non-conforming BigGeo Product, in which case BigGeo will issue a pro rata refund to Customer for any prepaid Service fees equal to the terminated portion of the applicable Service term. To receive these remedies, Customer must report a breach of warranty in reasonable detail within 30 days after discovering the issue in the BigGeo Product. These procedures are Customer's exclusive remedies and BigGeo's sole liability for breach of the Performance Warranty, except that if breach of the Performance Warranty constitutes a material breach of this Agreement, then Customer may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.2.
From time to time, Customer may have the ability to use a Trial Product or new features on an alpha test, beta test or similar basis ("Pre-Commercial Features"). Pre-Commercial Features are optional and will be identified as such so that Customer may decide whether to opt in. Either party may terminate Customer's use of Trial Products and Pre-Commercial Features at any time for any reason. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TRIAL PRODUCTS AND PRE-COMMERCIAL FEATURES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, CONDITIONS, INDEMNITIES, SERVICE LEVEL COMMITMENTS, OR SUPPORT OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS, AND BIGGEO DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, WITH RESPECT THERETO. IN NO EVENT WILL BIGGEO BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, DIRECT, INDIRECT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRIAL PRODUCTS OR PRE-COMMERCIAL FEATURES, OR CUSTOMER'S USE THEREOF.
BIGGEO DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE BIGGEO PRODUCTS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE; NOR DOES IT MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE BIGGEO PRODUCTS. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 8, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE BIGGEO PRODUCTS AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND BIGGEO DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. BIGGEO MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND THAT THE BIGGEO IP, OR ANY BIGGEO PRODUCTS OR RESULTS OF THE USE THEREOF, WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S OR ANY OTHER PERSON'S REQUIREMENTS, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, ACHIEVE ANY INTENDED RESULT, BE COMPATIBLE OR WORK WITH ANY SOFTWARE, SYSTEM, OR OTHER SERVICES, OR BE SECURE, ACCURATE, COMPLETE, FREE OF HARMFUL CODE, OR ERROR-FREE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN, BIGGEO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY THIRD PARTY PLATFORMS, THIRD PARTY DISTRIBUTORS OR ANY OTHER DATA SERVICE PROVIDERS. ALL THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF OR CONCERNING ANY THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES IS STRICTLY BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND THE THIRD-PARTY OWNER OR DISTRIBUTOR OF THE THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. CUSTOMER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR TESTING ANY ON-PREMISE SOFTWARE BEFORE USING IT IN A LIVE ENVIRONMENT, THE PROTECTION OF ITS DATA AND INFORMATION THROUGH INSTALLATION OF THE MOST RECENT COMPUTER VIRUS DETECTION PROGRAMS, AND THE TIMELY CREATION OF BACK-UP COPIES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, BIGGEO DOES NOT WARRANT AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS THAT ANY ON-PREMISE SOFTWARE LICENSED WILL BE SECURE OR AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION, AND THE RESULTS OF USING THE ON-PREMISE SOFTWARE WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S REQUIREMENTS. BIGGEO SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE (INCLUDING FOR LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA), OR RESPONSIBLE FOR RESTORATION OF SUCH DATA, IN EACH CASE TO THE EXTENT SUCH DAMAGE RESULTS FROM CUSTOMER'S INSUFFICIENT TESTING OF ANY ON-PREMISE SOFTWARE PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT IN A LIVE ENVIRONMENT.
BigGeo will defend any claims, actions and demands brought by third parties (collectively, "Claims") against Customer to the extent that the third party expressly asserts that the BigGeo Product (excluding Customer Data) infringes such third party's trademark, issued patent, or copyright, or BigGeo misappropriated such third party's trade secrets in the development of the BigGeo Product (a "BigGeo IP Claim"). BigGeo will indemnify Customer for any damages finally awarded against Customer (or any settlement approved by BigGeo) in connection with any such BigGeo IP Claim. The foregoing obligations do not apply with respect to portions or components of the BigGeo Product (i) made in whole or in part in accordance with Customer specifications, (ii) in the case of On-Premise Software, that are modified by or on behalf of Customer after delivery by BigGeo, (iii) that are combined with other products, processes or materials where the alleged infringement relates to such combination, (iv) in the case of On-Premise Software, where Customer continues the allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being provided an update that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (v) where Customer's use of the BigGeo Product is not strictly in accordance with this Agreement (each, an "Excluded Claim"). If the use of the BigGeo Product by Customer has become, or in BigGeo's opinion is likely to become, the subject of any BigGeo IP Claim, BigGeo may, at its option and expense (x) replace or modify the BigGeo Product to be non-infringing, provided that such modification or replacement contains substantially similar features and functionality, (y) obtain for Customer a license to continue using the BigGeo Product, or (z) if neither of the foregoing is commercially practicable, terminate this Agreement or the applicable Order Form and provide Customer a pro rata refund of any prepaid subscription fees equal to the terminated portion of the applicable Service term.
Customer will defend any Claims against BigGeo where the third party expressly asserts that the Customer Data or its use: (a) violates any applicable laws or regulations; or (b) infringes such third party's trademark, issued patent or copyright, or Customer misappropriated such third party's trade secrets in the collection, transmission or processing of the Customer Data ((a) and (b), a "Customer Data Claim"). In addition, Customer will defend any Claims against BigGeo where the third party expressly asserts an Excluded Claim. Customer will indemnify BigGeo for any damages finally awarded against BigGeo (or any settlement approved by Customer) in connection with any such Customer Data Claim or Excluded Claim. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer shall indemnify BigGeo for any regulatory fines, penalties, or enforcement actions imposed on BigGeo by a supervisory authority under the GDPR arising from Customer's failure to comply with its obligations as data controller, including its obligations under Section 3.1(b) and Section 3.4 of this Agreement.
The indemnified party will promptly notify the indemnifying party of any Claim subject to indemnity as set forth above (provided that the failure to do so will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations above except to the extent that its ability to conduct the defense thereof is materially prejudiced thereby), the indemnifying party will have the sole and exclusive authority to defend and/or settle any such Claim (provided that it may not settle or compromise any Claim or make any admission of liability without the indemnified party's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, unless it unconditionally releases the indemnified party of all related liability), and the indemnified party will reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with such defense and settlement.
IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR ITS AGENTS AND SUPPLIERS (INCLUDING THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS AND SUPPLIERS) BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OR LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ANTICIPATED GOODWILL, REVENUE, DATA OR DATA USE, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR NOT AND EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
THE AGGREGATE, CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF EACH PARTY (INCLUDING ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS AND SUPPLIERS) UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER TO BIGGEO OR A BIGGEO PARTNER FOR THE BIGGEO PRODUCT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY DURING THE TWELVE MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM ("ORDINARY CAP").
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING IN SECTIONS 10.1 AND 10.2 ABOVE, LIABILITY IS NOT LIMITED FOR THE FOLLOWING: (A) EACH PARTY'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, (B) INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF THE OTHER PARTY'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, (C) BIGGEO'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS FOR BIGGEO IP CLAIMS, AND (D) CUSTOMER'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS FOR CUSTOMER DATA CLAIMS OR EXCLUDED CLAIMS.
IN NO EVENT WILL BIGGEO BE LIABLE FOR THE SAME EVENT MULTIPLE TIMES UNDER THE ORDINARY CAP. SIMILARLY, THOSE CAPS WILL NOT BE CUMULATIVE; IF THERE ARE ONE OR MORE CLAIMS EACH SUBJECT TO THE CAP, THE MAXIMUM TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS IN THE AGGREGATE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ORDINARY CAP.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN, BIGGEO'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO TRIAL PRODUCTS, FREE PLANS, AND PRE-COMMERCIAL FEATURES WILL NOT EXCEED $100.
No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever to any third party.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties waive any provision of law that would render any clause of this Agreement prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
If the performance of this Agreement or any obligations (other than payment obligations) hereunder is prevented or interfered with by any act or condition beyond the reasonable control of a party hereto, including without limitation, acts of God, unusually severe weather, war, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, government laws, orders or embargoes, strikes or lockouts, that party upon giving prompt notice to the other party shall be excused from such performance during such occurrence, provided however that if the force majeure event continues for 30 consecutive days, the non-affected party may terminate this Agreement or the applicable Order Form.
This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the other party's consent, whether by operation of law or otherwise; provided that either party may assign this Agreement to its (a) Affiliate or (b) successor in the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such party related to this Agreement. Any other purported assignment shall be void.
This Agreement is the complete statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and replaces all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. The parties agree that any term or condition stated in Customer's purchase order or in any other Customer's order documentation is void, even if accepted by BigGeo or executed by the parties after the Effective Date. In the event of a conflict or ambiguity between the provisions of the main body of this Agreement (including its Exhibit(s)), any Order Form, and any Exhibit to an Order Form, the following order of precedence shall take effect: (i) the Order Form will take precedence; (ii) any Exhibit to an Order Form; and (iii) the main body of this Agreement (including its Exhibit(s)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a conflict or ambiguity arises in relation to data protection and cybersecurity, the DPA shall take precedence over the above order of precedence.
No supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding, unless executed by a duly authorized representative of each party. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under this Agreement, nor will any waiver be effective unless in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative on behalf of the party claimed to have waived. This Agreement may be executed by written signature or electronically and delivered in multiple counterparts, including facsimile, PDF, or other electronic counterparts, all of which will constitute one and the same instrument and agreement. From time-to-time, BigGeo may modify this Agreement. Unless another agreement between the parties supersedes this Agreement, any modifications made by BigGeo to this Agreement become effective upon renewal of the then-current Service term or entry into a new Order Form.

The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement. Where this Agreement involves the collection or processing of EU/EEA Personal Data, the GDPR shall apply to such processing activities to the extent required by applicable law, and the terms of the executed Data Processing Agreement shall govern BigGeo's obligations with respect to such data. The prevailing party is entitled to recover all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of enforcing its rights, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
The parties agree that this Agreement and all communications and documents relating hereto shall be expressed in the English language. Les parties ont exigé que ce contrat ainsi que tous documents s'y rattachant soient rédigés dans la langue anglaise.
