“Confidential Information” does not include information that: (a) is now or subsequently becomes public knowledge through no fault, omission, or other act of the Party receiving Confidential Information (the “Recipient”); (b) was already in the Recipient’s possession at the time of disclosure and was not obtained directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party; or (c) was received by the Recipient from an independent third party free of any restriction and without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party.
8.2 Return or Destruction of Confidential Information.
At any time after the Term, at the Disclosing Party's written request, the Recipient and its Affiliates will promptly return to the Disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the Disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. Despite the foregoing, the Recipient may retain copies of Confidential Information that are stored on the Recipient’s IT backup and disaster recovery systems until the ordinary course deletion thereof. The Recipient will continue to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to such retained Confidential Information.
8.3 Survival.
The provisions of Section 8 survive any termination of the Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of Section 9.1, Licensee represents and warrants to Licensor that: (i) to the best of Licensee’s knowledge, the Licensee Intellectual Property does not infringe the copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, patents, intellectual property rights or any other right of any third party; and (ii) Licensee will only make the Licensed Software available to End Users in accordance with Licensor’s instructions and the terms of this Agreement.
9.3 Licensor Representations and Warranties.
Without limiting the generality of Section 9.1, Licensor represents and warrants to Licensee that: (i) to the best of Licensor’s knowledge, the Licensor Intellectual Property does not infringe the copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, patents, intellectual property rights or any other right of any third party; (ii) when initially made available by Licensor to Licensee, the Licensed Software is free from viruses and any malicious code and will operate in accordance with this Agreement (this applies prior to installation and does not include any corruption, inoperability, viruses, or malware or malicious code introduced by Licensee’s systems or during the attempt to implement the Licensed Software on Licensee’s systems); and (iii) Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the System Availability set forth in Exhibit A, subject to the Exceptions..

The implementation fee, if any, will not be refunded to Licensee unless implementation was not possible due to no fault of Licensee or its systems, and Licensor exercises its right to terminate this Agreement rather than repair or replace the Licensed Software.

The warranties set forth above are limited warranties and are the only warranties provided by Licensor with respect to the Licensed Software. Licensor expressly disclaims, and Licensee hereby expressly waives, all other warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose. Except for the limited warranties set forth herein, Licensor provides and Licensee accepts the Licensed Software, Use Data, and Support Services “as is” without any warranties, express, implied, or statutory.

EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET OUT IN THIS SECTION REFLECT AN INFORMED, VOLUNTARY ALLOCATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES OF THE RISKS (KNOWN AND UNKNOWN) THAT MAY EXIST IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

In connection with any third party claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder, Licensor’s counsel will assume the defense of any such action and its fees and expenses in defending such action will be paid by the Indemnifying Party. No action taken by the Indemnified Party in accordance with such defense, including the settlement of such action, will relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations herein provided with respect to any damages resulting therefrom.

12.1 Term.
The term of this Agreement will be the term specified in the Order Form or other written agreement between the Parties, or if not otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, will commence on the Effective Date and end on the day before the one year anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”), unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms herein or as otherwise agreed in the Order Form or by the Parties in writing. This Agreement will automatically renew following the Initial Term in successive one year terms (each an “Extension Term”; the Extension Terms, together with the Initial Term, collectively, the “Term”), unless terminated by either Party for any reason with written notice at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any given Extension Term, or unless otherwise terminated as permitted in this Agreement.
12.2 Termination for Convenience.
Licensor may terminate this Agreement at any time, without cause, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Licensee. If Licensor terminates this Agreement without cause, Licensor will refund to Licensee the prorata portion of the fully paid annual subscription fee (not including any implementation fee contained therein) for the number of full months during the year covered by the annual subscription fee that follow the effective date of the termination. Under any other circumstances, subscription fees are not refundable, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.3.
12.3 Termination for Breach.
Termination by Licensor.
If Licensee breaches any material term or condition of this Agreement, including its payment obligations, Licensee will have 30 days after the delivery of written notice by Licensor to reasonably cure the breach. If such breach is not cured within such 30 day period, or if Licensee becomes insolvent or seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust, deed, creditor’s arrangement, or comparable proceeding, or if any such proceeding is instituted against Licensee and not dismissed within 60 days, Licensor will have the right (but not the obligation) to immediately terminate this Agreement.
Termination by Licensee.
If Licensor breaches any material term or condition of this Agreement, Licensor will have 30 days after the delivery of written notice by Licensee to reasonably cure the breach. If such breach is not cured within such 30 day period, or if Licensor becomes insolvent or seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust, deed, creditor’s arrangement, or comparable proceeding, or if any such proceeding is instituted against Licensor and not dismissed within 60 days, Licensee will have the right (but not the obligation) to immediately terminate this Agreement.
12.4 No compensation.
Neither Party is entitled to any compensation (whether for the loss of distribution rights, goodwill or otherwise) as a result of the termination of this Agreement at the end of the Term or in accordance with Section 12.2, except that Licensee is entitled to payment of any License Fees that became due but were not paid during the Term and all other fees, costs, taxes, interest, and expenses accrued or incurred by Licensor or otherwise owed to Licensor by Licensee under Section 7.

13. GENERAL PROVISIONS
13.1 Governing Law.
All matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement are governed by and will be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction).
13.2 Venue.
Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby must be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America or the courts of the State of California, in each case located in Los Angeles County within the City of Los Angeles, and each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action, or proceeding.
13.3 Injunctive Relief.
Each Party acknowledges that a breach or alleged or threatened breach by the other Party of any confidentiality obligations or infringement or misuse of any intellectual property or intellectual property rights of a Party would cause the irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and each Party agrees that, in the event of such breach or alleged or threatened breach, the injured Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
13.4 Waiver of Jury Trial.
Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy that may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party to this Agreement certifies and acknowledges that (a) no representative of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not seek to enforce the foregoing waiver in the event of a legal action, (b) such Party has considered the implications of this waiver, (c) such Party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (d) such Party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section.
13.5 Entire Agreement; Amendment.
This Agreement and all related exhibits and schedules and Order Forms, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the Parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. To the extent of any conflicting terms between this Agreement and the Order Form, this Agreement will prevail, except with respect to terms specifically added to the Order Form to modify this Agreement (in which case, the Order Form will prevail as to those terms).
This Agreement may be amended, modified, or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each Party. Signing of a new Order Form by the Parties incorporating the new terms of this Agreement is a satisfactory signed writing for purposes of amending this Agreement. This Agreement may also be unilaterally amended by Licensor upon notice to Licensee at least 30 days before the amendment becomes effective and Licensee will have 10 days to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Licensor from the date of the notification from Licensor. If Licensee does not terminate this Agreement within the 10-day period, then the amendment will be deemed accepted by Licensee. Despite the foregoing, the License Fee may only be increased by Licensor during a Term as described in Section 7.1 or by written agreement or Order Form signed by both Parties.
13.6 Assignment.
This Agreement may not be assigned by either Party to any other Person without the express written approval of the other Party and any attempt at assignment in violation of this Section is null and void. Despite the foregoing, Licensor may assign this Agreement without such consent to (i) any Affiliate, or (ii) any third party in the event of a merger, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of Licensor’s assets or voting securities.
13.7 Publicity.
Subject in all respects to Section 8, the Parties agree that Licensor may issue press releases and make public statements regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including disclosing that Licensee is a customer that licenses the Noteefy Course Solution, with the prior consent of the Licensee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Notices must be sent to the respective Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address specified for a Party in a notice given in accordance with this Section):
If to Licensee: to the address specified in the Order Form.

13.9 Waiver.
No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions in this Agreement is effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. No waiver by any Party will operate as a waiver with respect to any failure, breach, or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement is a waiver thereof; nor does any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
13.10 Independent Contractors.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that they are dealing with each other hereunder as independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be interpreted as constituting either Party the joint venture, employee or partner of the other Party or as conferring upon either Party the power of authority to bind the other Party in any transaction with third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all services provided must be performed in the United States unless specifically stated otherwise in a written amendment.
13.11 Force Majeure.
No Party is liable or responsible to the other Party, nor will be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (except under Section 6, Section 8, or any obligations to make payments to the other Party hereunder), when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond the affected Party's reasonable control, including: (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire, earthquake, other potential disasters or catastrophes, such as epidemics and pandemics (including the Covid-19 pandemic), or explosion; (c) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot, or other civil unrest; (d) government order or law; (e) actions, embargoes, or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; (f) action by any governmental authority; (g) national or regional emergency; (h) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns, or other industrial disturbances; and (i) shortage of adequate power or transportation facilities (a “Force Majeure Event”). The Party suffering a Force Majeure Event must give notice within 10 days of the Force Majeure Event to the other Party, stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue, and must use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized.
13.12 Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, that, for any reason, in whole or in part, is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement (or the remaining portions of such provision) or the application thereof to any other person or circumstance, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision (or portion thereof) or the application thereof to any person or circumstance in any other jurisdiction.
13.13 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of which together are one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by email or other recognized means of secure electronic transmission (such as DocuSign or AdobeSign) have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement. This Agreement may be duly executed by the Parties by signing an Order Form that incorporates this Agreement and its terms by reference.
13.14 Third Parties.
The Parties confirm that there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. Except as explicitly granted to Indemnified Parties within the indemnification provisions to this Agreement, the Parties do not intend to and do not confer any rights on any third parties by virtue of this Agreement, and accordingly any provisions of law conferring rights to third parties will not apply to this Agreement.
13.15 Attorney’s Fees.
Should either Party hereto initiate a legal or administrative action or proceeding (an “Action”) to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, the prevailing Party is entitled to recover from the losing Party all reasonable costs of the Action, including attorneys’ fees and all other costs and expenses.
13.16 Export Regulation.
The Licensed Software may be subject to export control laws, including the Export Control Reform Act and its associated regulations. Licensee will not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Licensed Software to, or make the Licensed Software accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by law, rule, or regulation. Licensee will comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing, or otherwise making the Licensed Software available outside the United States.
13.17 Survival.
Any rights, obligations, or required performance of the Parties in this Agreement which, by their express terms or nature and context are intended to survive termination or expiration of this Agreement, will survive any such termination or expiration, including the rights and obligations set forth in Sections 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12.5, and 13.
13.18 Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
13.19 Headings; Interpretation.
The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement will be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The schedules, exhibits, and Order Forms referred to in this Agreement are an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. The terms and any form of the terms “including” or “includes” will be interpreted as if followed by “without limitation to.”
13.20 Further Assurances.
Each of the Parties hereto will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances, and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
EXHIBIT A
SYSTEM AVAILABILITY
The Licensed Software is provided “as is.” However, Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Licensed Software available for access and use consistent with this Agreement (“System Availability”) at least 95% of the time on a monthly basis, excluding unavailability as a result of any of the following exceptions (“Exceptions”): (a) act or omission or failure to follow provided instructions by Licensee or a Licensee Authorized User; (b) access or use of the Licensed Software by Licensee or a Licensee Authorized User that does not strictly comply with this Agreement; (c) use of the Licensed Software by any End User that does not comply with the End User Agreement; (d) Licensee’s delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under this Agreement; (e) Internet connectivity of Licensee, any Licensee Authorized User, or any End User; (f) a Force Majeure Event; (g) failure, interruption, outage, or other problem with any software, hardware, system, network, facility, or other matter not supplied by Licensor; (h) scheduled downtime, maintenance, processes to enhance security, or Licensee set-up or customization; or (i) disabling or suspension of the Licensed Software under Section 7.4 or termination of the Agreement under Sections 12 or 13.12.
If for a period of 10 consecutive days or more service availability does not meet the standard in this Section for reasons other than one or more of the Exceptions, Client’s sole remedy is reimbursement of the pro-rated amount of the Subscription Fee for the period of the downtime.
