(“Feedback” refers to any suggestion or idea for improving or otherwise modifying any of Factual Soft’s products or services.)
7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. “Confidential Information” refers to the following items Factual Soft discloses to Customer: (a) any document Factual Soft marks “Confidential”; (b) any information Factual Soft orally designates as “Confidential” at the time of disclosure, provided Factual Soft confirms such designation in writing within seven (7) business days; (c) the Documentation, this Agreement, Customer Order, the Customization Services Addendum, Statements of Work and any communications between Factual Soft and Customer in relation to this Agreement or the Customization Services Addendum, whether or not marked or designated confidential; and (d) any other nonpublic, sensitive information disclosed by Factual Soft, whether or not marked or designated “Confidential.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is in Customer’s possession at the time of disclosure; (ii) is independently developed by Customer without use of or reference to Confidential Information; (iii) becomes known publicly, before or after disclosure, other than as a result of Customer’s improper action or inaction; or (iv) is approved for release in writing by Customer.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer shall protect Confidential Information with the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of similar nature and importance, but with no less than reasonable care.

7.2. Injunction. Customer agrees that breach of this Article 7 would cause Factual Soft irreparable injury, for which monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation, and that in addition to any other remedy, Factual Soft will be entitled to injunctive relief against such breach or threatened breach, without proving actual damage or posting a bond or other security.
7.3. Termination and Return. With respect to each item of Confidential Information, the obligations of Section 7.1 above (Nondisclosure) will terminate five (5) years after the date of disclosure. Upon termination of this Agreement, Customer shall return all copies of Confidential Information to Factual Soft or certify, in writing, the destruction thereof.
7.4. Retention of Rights. This Agreement does not transfer ownership of Confidential Information or grant a license thereto. Factual Soft will retain all right, title, and interest in and to all Confidential Information.

Factual Soft represents and warrants that it is the owner of the System and of each and every component thereof, or the recipient of a valid license thereto, and that it has and will maintain the full power and authority to grant the rights granted in this Agreement without the further consent of any third party. Factual Soft’s representations and warranties in the preceding sentence do not apply to use of the System in combination with hardware or software not provided by Factual Soft.

8.2. From Customer.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING: (a) FACTUAL SOFT HAS NO OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY OR DEFEND CUSTOMER OR USERS AGAINST CLAIMS RELATED TO INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; (b) FACTUAL SOFT DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SYSTEM WILL PERFORM WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR ERROR; AND (c) FACTUAL SOFT DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SYSTEM IS SECURE FROM HACKING OR OTHER UNAUTHORIZED INTRUSION OR THAT CUSTOMER’S BUSINESS DATA WILL REMAIN PRIVATE OR SECURE.
9. INDEMNIFICATION. Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Factual Soft and each of Factual Soft Associates (as defined below) against any “Indemnified Claim,” meaning any third party claim, suit, or proceeding arising out of or related to Customer’s alleged or actual use of, misuse of, or failure to use the System, including without limitation: (a) claims by Users or by Customer’s employees, as well as by Customer’s own customers; (b) claims related to unauthorized disclosure or exposure of personally identifiable information or other private information, including Customer’s Business Data; (c) claims related to infringement or violation of a copyright, trademark, trade secret, or privacy or confidentiality right by written material, images, logos or other content uploaded to the System through Customer’s account, including without limitation by Customer’s Business Data; and (d) claims that use of the System through Customer’s account harasses, defames, or defrauds a third party or violates the CAN-Spam Act of 2003 or any other law or restriction on electronic advertising. Indemnified Claims include, without limitation, claims arising out of or related to Factual Soft’s negligence. Customer’s obligations set forth in this Article 9 include retention and payment of attorneys and payment of court costs, as well as settlement at Customer’s expense and payment of judgments. Factual Soft will have the right, not to be exercised unreasonably, to reject any settlement or compromise that requires that it admit wrongdoing or liability or subjects it to any ongoing affirmative obligations. (“Factual Soft Associates” are Factual Soft’s members, managers, managing members, officers, parents, subsidiaries, agents, successors, and assigns.)
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
10.1. Dollar Cap. FACTUAL SOFT’S LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE SYSTEM FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY CUSTOMER TO FACTUAL SOFT IN A PERIOD OF TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH CUSTOMER PRESENTS A CLAIM TO FACTUAL SOFT WITH RESPECT TO FACTUAL SOFT’S BREACH OF FACTUAL SOFT’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

13.4. Assignment & Successors. Customer may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without Factual Soft’s express written consent.

13.6. No Waiver. Neither party will be deemed to have waived any of its rights under this Agreement by lapse of time or by any statement or representation other than by an authorized representative in an explicit written waiver.

13.12. Amendment. Factual Soft may amend this Agreement from time to time by posting an amended version of the Terms of Service for Cloud Services at the Website and, solely with respect to Customers, sending Customer written notice thereof. Such amendment will be deemed accepted and become effective 30 days after such notice (the “Proposed Amendment Date”) unless Customer first gives Factual Soft written notice of rejection of the amendment. In the event of such rejection, this Agreement will continue under its original provisions, and the amendment will become effective at the start of Customer’s next Term following the Proposed Amendment Date (unless Customer first terminates this Agreement pursuant to Article 11, Term & Termination). Customer’s continued use of the Cloud Services following the effective date of an amendment will confirm Customer’s consent thereto.
