The Recipient will promptly notify the Discloser if the Recipient discovers any misuse or misappropriation of Confidential Information.‍
  38. 6.3. Exceptions. The Recipient will not disclose, or cause to be disclosed, any of the Discloser’s Confidential Information to any third party, except: (a) to employees, personnel, service providers, representatives, or contractors of the Recipient or its Affiliates who are subject to written confidentiality obligations that are at least as protective as those herein and have a bona fide need to know such Confidential Information; (b) if the Recipient is required to disclose Confidential Information by Applicable Law, a court order, subpoena, or a competent governmental authority, subject to the Recipient providing to the Discloser (if legally permitted) prompt written notice to allow the Recipient to seek protective measures or other remedies to prevent or limit disclosure, at the Discloser’s sole expense; or (c) as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Recipient is fully liable for its Representatives’ breach or violation, whether by act or omission, of Section 6 (“Confidentiality”) as if the Recipient had itself effected such breach or violation. Notwithstanding anything herein, the content and existence of this Agreement may be disclosed to a Party’s advisors and attorneys, and to actual or potential acquirers, investors, or other sources of funding, and their respective advisors and attorneys, for due diligence purposes.‍

In the event of such termination, Notabene will refund to Customer, on a pro-rated basis, any Fees pre-paid to Notabene for the segment of the Term following the effective date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Integrated Products, Notabene disclaims all liability associated with any actual or potential infringement of a third party’s intellectual property rights. Sections 8.1 (“Notabene Indemnity”) and 8.2 (“IP Remedies”) state Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights in connection with the Services, except as otherwise provided herein (including incorporated or linked documents).‍
  48. 8.3. Customer Indemnity.

  49. 8.4. Procedures. The Party seeking defense or indemnity (the “Indemnified Party”) will promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the Claim for which defense or indemnity is being sought and will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense and/or settlement of such Claim. The Indemnifying Party will have the sole right to conduct the defense of any Claim for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible; provided that the Indemnifying Party may not settle any Claim without the Indemnified Party's prior written approval (unless the settlement is for a monetary amount, unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party from all liability without prejudice, does not require any admission by the Indemnified Party, and does not place restrictions on the Indemnified Party's business). If the Indemnifying Party entirely refuses to defend the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party may defend itself and seek reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party.

  76. 13.6. Equitable Relief. A Party’s breach or threatened breach of any obligations under Section 6 (“Confidentiality”) would cause the other Party irreparable harm and significant damages for which there may be no adequate remedy under law. In such event, the other Party will have the right to seek equitable relief or remedies, without posting a bond or other security, provided that such relief or remedies are not exclusive. Nothing in this Section 13.6 (“Equitable Relief”) shall preclude either Party from seeking injunctive relief on any other grounds permitted by law or equity.‍
  77. 13.7. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance (except payment obligations) caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, government actions, internet or telecommunications failures, cyberattacks, cloud service outages, or power disruptions. The affected Party will promptly notify the other Party and use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact and resume performance.‍
  78. 13.8. Waiver. No failure or delay in enforcing any term or right or exercising any option in this Agreement or any Order Form will be deemed a waiver, unless a waiver is in writing and signed by the grantor.‍
  79. 13.9. Relationship of the Parties. The Parties are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to establish any partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between the Parties. Neither Party will have the power or authority to bind the other or incur any obligations on the other, except with the other Party’s prior written consent.‍
  80. 13.10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement which will remain in full force and effect.‍
