5. Confidentiality.
5.1 Confidential Information. Either party may from time to time disclose (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) certain Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, for a period of seven (7) years from receipt of the applicable Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall (i) protect such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party from unauthorized dissemination, using the same degree of care which the Receiving Party ordinarily uses with respect to its own proprietary information, but in no event with less than reasonable care, (ii) not use such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose not expressly permitted by this Agreement and (iii) limit the disclosure of such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the employees, consultants, or agents of the Receiving Party who have a need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement, and who are, with respect to such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, bound in writing by confidentiality terms no less restrictive than those contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information may be disclosed if such disclosure is required by law or by the order of a competent court or similar competent judicial or administrative body; provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party of such requirement promptly and in writing, and shall cooperate reasonably with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in the obtaining of a protective or similar order enjoining, restraining or limiting the disclosure of such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the confidentiality obligations set forth herein shall apply indefinitely with regard to the (i) Customer Data, (ii) Service, (iii) any related technology, data and databases, algorithm or information contained therein or provided therewith and (iv) the Documentation, and in any event including any trade secrets related to any of the foregoing.

5.3 Remedies. If a party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the other party in breach of confidentiality protections hereunder, the other party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being acknowledged by the parties that any other available remedies are inadequate.

6.2 Unauthorized Disclosure. If either party believes that there has been a disclosure of Customer Data to anyone other than an Authorized User or ProcessUnity, such party must promptly notify the other party. Additionally, each party will reasonably assist the other party in remediating or mitigating any potential damage, including any notification which should be sent to individuals impacted or potentially impacted. Each party shall bear the costs of such remediation or mitigation to the extent the breach or security incident was caused by it.

Customer agrees that this is the sole and exclusive remedy provided by ProcessUnity in connection with the Service.
7.3 DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED AS-IS AND PROCESSUNITY DISCLAIMS ALL CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER OR ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.

11.9 Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any party or circumstances shall be declared void, illegal or unenforceable by a competent court of law, competent arbitrator or other competent authority, the remainder of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable law. The invalid provision shall be replaced by an appropriate provision, which to the extent permitted by applicable law, comes closest to the parties` intent of what the parties would have agreed on, had they been aware of the invalidity or unenforceability, in order to meet the spirit and purpose of this Agreement.
11.10 Waiver. No waiver by either Party to this Agreement of any provision hereof, and no failure by either Party to exercise any of such Party’s rights or remedies hereunder, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of such provision, right, or remedy in the future, or of any other provision, right, or remedy hereunder, unless such waiver shall be set forth in a written instrument signed by the Party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced.
11.11 Third Party Beneficiary. Other than as expressly set forth herein, no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed for the benefit of any other person or entity, including any third party.
11.12 Miscellaneous. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of a conflict, the provisions of an Order Form shall take precedence over provisions of the body of this Agreement and over any other Exhibit or Attachment. This Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the modification, amendment or waiver is to be asserted. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision shall be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary therein, no terms or conditions stated in a Customer purchase order or in any other Customer order documentation shall be incorporated into or form any part of this Agreement, and all such terms or conditions shall be null and void. Except as otherwise specified in writing by Customer, ProcessUnity may use Customer’s name and logo in lists of customers, on marketing materials and on its website. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which taken together shall form one binding legal instrument. The parties hereby consent to the use of electronic signatures in connection with the execution of this agreement, and further agree that electronic signatures to this agreement shall be legally binding with the same force and effect as manually executed signatures.
