The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care in protecting the Confidential Information as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information from unauthorized use or disclosure, but in no event less than reasonable care. Confidential Information will be used by the Receiving Party solely for the purpose of carrying out the Receiving Party’s obligations under these Terms, and the Receiving Party will only disclose Confidential Information to its directors, officers, employees and/or contractors who have a need to know such Confidential Information in order to perform their duties under these Terms, and if such directors, officers, employees and/or contractors have executed a non-disclosure agreement with the Receiving Party with terms no less restrictive than the non-disclosure obligations contained in this Section 7.2. Provided, however, that each Party may disclose the terms and conditions of these Terms: (i) to legal counsel of such Party; (ii) to such Party’s accountants, banks, financing sources and their advisors; (iii) in connection with the enforcement of these Terms or rights under these Terms; or (iv) in connection with an actual or proposed merger, acquisition, or similar transaction.

7.3.           Exceptions.

Confidential Information will not include information that: (i) is in or enters the public domain without breach of these Terms through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) the Receiving Party can reasonably demonstrate was in its possession prior to first receiving it from the Disclosing Party; (iii) the Receiving Party can demonstrate was developed by the Receiving Party independently, and without use of or reference to, the Confidential Information; or (iv) the Receiving Party receives from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without breach of a nondisclosure obligation. In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information that is required to disclose by law, or by a subpoena or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction (each, an “Court Order”), and where such Court Order is shown the Receiving Party shall: (a) give the Disclosing Party written notice of the Court Order within 24 hours after receiving it; and (b) cooperate fully with the Disclosing Party before disclosure to provide the Disclosing Party with the opportunity to interpose any objections it may have to disclosure of the information required by the Court Order and seek a protective order or other appropriate relief. In the event of any dispute between the Parties as to whether specific information is within one or more of the exceptions set forth in this Section 7.3, Receiving Party will bear the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, that such information is within the claimed exception(s).

7.4.           Remedies.

The Receiving Party acknowledges that any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information will result in irreparable injury to the Disclosing Party, which injury could not be adequately compensated by the payment of money damages. In addition to any other legal and equitable remedies that may be available, the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach by the Receiving Party of the confidentiality obligations hereunder, from any court of competent jurisdiction, without being required to show any actual damage or irreparable harm, prove the inadequacy of its legal remedies, or post any bond or other security.

8. Representations, Warranties and Remedies.

8.1.           General Representations and Warranties.

Each Party represents and warrants the following: (i) it is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the place of its establishment or incorporation; (ii) it has full corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under these Terms; (iii) the person signing these Terms on its behalf has been duly authorized and empowered to enter into these Terms; (iv) these Terms are valid, binding and enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; (v) it shall deliver (as to DataEndure ) and operate (as to Customer) the Solutions in material conformity with the Documentation and the terms herein; and (v) it will perform its obligations under these Terms in accordance with applicable federal or state laws or regulations.

8.2.           Subcontracting.

DataEndure reserves the right to employ agents and subcontractors to assist DataEndure when providing any part of the Services; provided, however, that DataEndure shall not subcontract any of the Services without Customer’s written consent, which may be granted reasonably in Customer’s discretion. In the event DataEndure uses contractors, subcontractors or any other persons who are not employees of DataEndure (“DataEndure Subcontractors”), to perform any of the Services, DataEndure shall: (i) ensure all of its DataEndure Subcontractors’ compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (ii) remain solely responsible for the performance, work and any and all activities of the DataEndure Subcontractors; (iii) remain solely liable for any and all acts or omissions by such DataEndure Subcontractor(s); and (iv) be solely liable for all payments to its DataEndure Subcontractors and for all losses arising out of, or relating to, the performance or failure of performance, of any such DataEndure Subcontractors, whether or not the services of such DataEndure Subcontractors were authorized hereunder.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any contractual relationship between Customer and any DataEndure Subcontractors. Any reference to DataEndure Personnel in this Agreement includes agents and DataEndure Subcontractor staff. At no time may Customer mandate that DataEndure engage a specific contractor or subcontractor.

8.3.           Conformity with Documentation.

We warrant that at any point in time during Your Subscription Term, the most recent release of the Solutions (“Current Release”) will substantially conform in all material respects with the Documentation. DataEndure’s sole obligation for material non-conformity with this warranty shall be, in DataEndure’s sole discretion, to use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to provide You with an error-correction or workaround which corrects the reported non-conformity; (ii) to replace the non-conforming portions of the Solutions with conforming items; or (iii) if DataEndure reasonably determines such remedies to be impracticable within a reasonable period of time, to terminate these Terms and refund the Fees paid for the Solutions. The above warranty will not apply: (a) if the Solutions are not used in compliance with the Documentation; (b) if any unauthorized modifications are made to the Solutions by You or any third party; (c) to use of early releases of the Solutions which are not the Current Release or the Solutions release immediately preceding the Current Release; (d) to defects due to accident, abuse or improper use by You; or (e) to Evaluation or Early Adoption use of the Solutions.

8.4.           DISCLAIMER.

DATAENDURE IS BEING ENGAGED ONLY TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND IN ORDERS AGREED BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, INCLUDING ANY AGREED DELIVERABLES. THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTIES DO NOT APPLY TO MODIFICATIONS TO THE SERVICES OR THE DELIVERABLES MADE BY CUSTOMER UNLESS PERFORMED AT THE DIRECTION OF DATAENDURE. DATAENDURE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA AND SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RESTORING ANY LOST DATA OR SOFTWARE EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY DESCRIBED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE APPLICABLE ORDER. THE LIMITED WARRANTIES DO NOT APPLY TO ANY THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, HOWEVER, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED, DATAENDURE WILL PASS THROUGH ANY WARRANTIES FROM SUPPLIERS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTIES, (I) DATAENDURE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR DELIVERABLES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND (II) DATAENDURE MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES AND ANY DELIVERABLES WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE FOREGOING WILL BE SATISFACTORY, ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, OR THAT THE SERVICES OR DELIVERABLES WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S EXPECTATIONS. THE REPRESENTATIVES OF DATAENDURE HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO GIVE ANY WARRANTIES ON BEHALF OF DATAENDURE. CUSTOMER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COURSE OF ACTION BASED ON SUCH SERVICES.

9. Indemnification Obligations.

9.1.           Infringement Indemnity.

DataEndure will indemnify You and Your directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, or other authorized representatives (“Customer Indemnitees”) from and against any and all third party claims, suits, actions or proceedings (each a “Claim”) alleging that Your use of the Solutions infringes or misappropriates a third party’s valid Intellectual Property Right. DataEndure, at its expense, will defend any such Claim by reason of Your use of the Solutions as permitted hereunder, and pay damages, payments, deficiencies, fines, judgments, settlements, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, penalties, interest and disbursements) finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction or included in a settlement approved by DataEndure. In the event of a Claim pursuant to this Section 9.1, DataEndure may, at DataEndure’s option and at DataEndure’s expense: (i) obtain for Customer the right to continue to exercise the license granted to Customer under these Terms; (ii) substitute the allegedly infringing component for an equivalent non-infringing component; or (iii) modify the Solutions to make them non-infringing. If (i), (ii), or (iii) is not obtainable on commercially reasonable terms, DataEndure may terminate these Terms, after providing Customer a reasonable time (no less than 30 days) to transition to an alternative solution, unless DataEndure determines in its reasonable discretion that such use of the Solutions will likely result in infringement and in such case may terminate these Terms effective immediately with concurrent written notice to Customer. In the event of a termination of these Terms pursuant to this Section 9.1, all rights and licenses with respect to the Solutions will immediately cease and DataEndure will refund to Customer all prepaid Fees for the Solutions attributable to the Subscription Term (as outlined in the applicable Order) following the termination of these Terms. DataEndure’s indemnification obligations do not extend to Claims arising from or relating to: (a) any negligent or willful misconduct of any Customer Indemnitees; (b) any combination of the Solutions (or any portion thereof) by any Customer Indemnitees or any third party with any equipment, software, data or any other materials where the infringement would not have occurred but for such combination, unless such combination is the customary, ordinary, and intended use of the Solutions; (c) any modification to the Solutions by any Customer Indemnitees or any third party where the infringement would not have occurred but for such modification; (d) the use of the Solutions by any Customer Indemnitees or any third party in a manner contrary to the terms of these Terms where the infringement would not have occurred but for such use; or (e) the continued use of the Solutions after DataEndure has provided a substantially equivalent non-infringing software or service.

9.2.           Customer Indemnity.

Customer, at its sole expense, will indemnify DataEndure and its directors, officers, employees and agents or other authorized representatives (“DataEndure Indemnitees”) from and against any Claim, and be liable for any related damages, payments, deficiencies, fines, judgments, settlements, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, penalties, interest and disbursements) arising out of: (a) Customer’s use of the Solutions in breach of these Terms; (b) Customer’s use of any third party IP; (c) breach or alleged breach of Customer’s obligations under Sections 1.6 (Other Services), 1.7 (Third Party Service) or 3 (Restrictions) herein; or (d) the failure of Your administrators of Your account to maintain the confidentiality of their login information to such account.

9.3.           Procedures.

The indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations under this Section 9 are conditioned upon the indemnified Party: (i) giving prompt written notice of the Claim to the indemnifying Party once the indemnified Party becomes aware of the Claim (provided that failure to provide prompt written notice to the indemnifying Party will not alleviate an indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Section 9 to the extent any associated delay does not materially prejudice or impair the defense of the related Claims); (ii) granting the indemnifying Party the option to take sole control of the defense (including granting the indemnifying Party the right to select and use counsel of its own choosing) and settlement of the Claim (except that the indemnified Party’s prior written approval will be required for any settlement that reasonably can be expected to require an affirmative obligation of the indemnified Party); and (iii) providing reasonable cooperation to the indemnifying Party and, at the indemnifying Party’s request and expense, assistance in the defense or settlement of the Claim.

10. Limitation of Liability.

SUBJECT TO ANY SPECIFIC LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY STATED IN THIS SECTION, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS EXCEED THE FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER TO DATAENDURE (OR ITS RESELLER) FOR 6 MONTHS SUBSCRIPTION FEES AT THE TIME OF THE EVENT OR EVENTS LEADING TO THE ALLEGED DAMAGES.

IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH OF SECTION 6 (PRIVACY AND SECURITY) BY DATAENDURE, DATAENDURE’S TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER TO DATAENDURE (OR ITS RESELLER) FOR SIX (6) MONTHS SUBSCRIPTION FEES EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME OF THE EVENT OR EVENTS LEADING TO THE ALLEGED DAMAGES.

THE LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY IN SECTIONS 10 SHALL NOT APPLY TO BREACHES OF SECTION 3 (RESTRICTIONS), SECTION 7 (CONFIDENTIALITY) OR TO EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS (SECTIONS 9.1 AND 9.2).

IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, ANY INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OR IS OTHERWISE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. MULTIPLE CLAIMS WILL NOT EXPAND THIS LIMITATION. THIS SECTION 10 WILL BE GIVEN FULL EFFECT EVEN IF ANY REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THESE TERMS IS DEEMED TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

11. Term, Termination and Effect of Termination.

11.1.       Term.

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing among Parties or in a valid Order among You and a Partner, the term of these Terms will begin on the Effective Date and continue for twelve (12) months (the “Initial Subscription Terms”), and thereafter these Terms and the underlying Solutions subscription shall renew for additional successive periods identical in length to the Initial Subscription Term (“Renewal Subscription Term” and collectively, “Subscription Term”), unless either Party notifies the other in writing no less than thirty (30) days prior to the close of the then-current Initial or Renewal Subscription Term of its intention not to renew. Any Subscription Term may also (i) be terminated in accordance with Section 11.2 below; or (ii) be terminated by Us in accordance with Section 9.1.

11.2.       Termination.

In addition to Our right to terminate these Terms pursuant to Section 9.1, either Party may terminate these Terms, for cause, if the other Party: (i) materially breaches these Terms and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days after its receipt of written notice of such breach; or (ii) becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes subject to direct control of a trustee, receiver or similar authority. Additionally, We may terminate these Terms immediately for cause by providing concurrent notice to You if We believe that You are using the Solutions in any unauthorized manner likely to cause harm to DataEndure, the Solutions or a third party.

11.3.       Effect of Termination.

Upon any termination or expiration of these Terms: (i) all rights and licenses granted to Customer under these Terms will immediately terminate; (ii) all of Our obligations under these Terms (including, Our performance of the DataEndure Support) will immediately cease; (iii) there will be no refund for any pre-paid and unused Fees as of the termination date (except where You terminate these Terms due to DataEndure’s material breach or where DataEndure terminates these Terms under Section 9.1 herein), and You will immediately pay Us any Fees due and payable under these Terms as of the termination date; (iv) upon receiving a written request from the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will promptly return to the Disclosing Party all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party then in its possession or destroy all copies of such Confidential Information, at the Disclosing Party’s sole discretion and direction; and (v) You will immediately cease all use of the Solutions and destroy and/or permanently delete all copies of any components of the Solutions in Your possession. DataEndure reserves the right to investigate suspected violations of Customer’s obligations under Section 11.3(v) herein. Customer will immediately confirm, in writing, that it has complied with these Sections 11.3(iv) and 11.3(v) at Our request. Notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in these Terms, Sections 3, 4, 5, 7, 8.2, 9, 10, 11.3 and 12 will survive any termination of these Terms.

12. General Provisions.

12.1.       Dispute Resolution.

Dispute Resolution. Any claim or dispute between the Parties and arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement, an Order, or the relationship created between the Parties as a result of this Agreement (a “Dispute”) that cannot be resolved by direct discussions between the Parties shall be resolved by confidential binding arbitration in accordance with this Section 12.1.  The Party wishing to initiate arbitration hereunder will deliver to the other Party a written demand for arbitration setting forth the basis of the initiating Party’s claim and the dollar amount of damages sought.  Once an initiating Party initiates an arbitration hereunder, the initiating Party and the other Party will engage in a good faith, one (1) day non-binding mediation before a sole mediator selected from the panel of mediators of the JAMS (or its successor) before proceeding with the arbitration.  Each Party in the mediation will pay such Party’s own costs and fees, and the Parties will split the fees of the mediator.  The Parties may mutually agree to extend the mediation beyond one (1) day.  To the extent that the Dispute is not resolved through the mediation process described above, an arbitration hereunder will (i) be heard and determined by an arbitrator (who will be a retired state or federal judge with at least five (5) years judicial experience), selected by the Parties from a list of neutrals provided by JAMS, and if the Parties cannot agree, by JAMS itself; (ii) take place in the applicable city as determined below; and (iii) be conducted in accordance with JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures (or any successor rules and procedures), in effect at the time the initiating Party delivers to the other Party the demand for arbitration required hereunder.  Mediation and arbitration shall be initiated and conducted exclusively in the State of California.  In determining a claim, the arbitrator will apply the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.  The arbitration proceedings and the award of the arbitrator will be confidential.  Each Party in the arbitration will pay such Party’s own costs and fees, and the Parties will split the fees of the arbitrator.  The ruling of the arbitrator will be final and binding on both Parties, and no appeal may be taken.  The ruling of the arbitrator may be entered and enforced as a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  The arbitration provisions of this Agreement may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the Party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the Party against whom enforcement is ordered.  Each Party understands the consequences of agreeing to binding arbitration under this Section 12, including giving up any constitutional or statutory rights to have the Dispute determined by a court of law or by a jury; that discovery of information in arbitration may be limited; that the application of the rules of evidence may be relaxed; that the arbitration decision will be final and binding and there will be no right of appeal, judicial or otherwise; and that arbitration is more private than a court trial.  This Section 12.1 shall not preclude Parties from seeking provisional remedies (e.g., injunctions) in aid of mediation or arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

12.2.       Entire Agreement.

These Terms, together with all exhibits attached thereto (all of which are incorporated herein by reference), set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties relating to Your subscription to the Solutions, and the Parties herein expressly agree that these Terms supersede all prior or contemporaneous potentially or actually conflicting terms in agreements, proposals, negotiations, conversations, discussions and/or understandings, whether written or oral, with respect to such subject matter and all past dealing or industry customs (including without limitation any nondisclosure agreement among the Parties relating to any prior use of the Solutions, any Order and/or another agreement among the Parties in connection with Your consideration and/or evaluation of the Solutions), excluding only any written agreement executed by DataEndure, expressly referencing these Terms and only to the extent expressly superseding specific terms in these Terms.

12.3.       Independent Contractors.

Neither Party will, for any purpose, be deemed to be an agent, franchisor, franchise, employee, representative, owner or partner of the other Party, and the relationship between the Parties will only be that of independent contractors. Neither Party will have any right or authority to assume or create any obligations or to make any representations or warranties on behalf of any other Party, whether express or implied, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.

12.4.       Governing Law and Venue.

These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. The state or federal court in Santa Clara County, California will be the jurisdiction in which any suits should be filed if they relate to these Terms. Prior to the filing or initiation of any action or proceeding relating to these Terms, the Parties must participate in good faith mediation in Santa Clara County, California (except an action or proceeding required to protect or enforce a Party’s Intellectual Property Rights). If a Party initiates any proceeding regarding these Terms, the prevailing Party to such proceeding is entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs for claims arising out of these Terms.

12.5.       Publicity.

DataEndure agrees that We may not reference and use Your name and trademarks in DataEndure marketing and promotional materials, including, but not limited to, the Site, solely for purposes of identifying You as Our customer without Your consent. Otherwise, neither Party may use the trade names, trademarks, service marks, or logos of the other Party without the express written consent of the other Party.

12.6.       Assignment.

Neither these Terms nor any right or duty under these Terms may be transferred, assigned or delegated by a Party, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party and such consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. Any attempted transfer, assignment or delegation without such consent will be void and without effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may assign these Terms to a successor of substantially all of its business or assets, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock, sale of control, reorganization or otherwise, with written notice to the other Party, provided that such successor in interest agrees in writing to assume all of the assigning Party’s obligations under these Terms. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective representatives, heirs, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.

12.7.       U.S. Government Rights.

If Customer is, or is entering into this Agreement on behalf of, any agency or instrumentality of the United States Government, the Product and the Documentation are “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” and pursuant to FAR 12.212 or DFARS 227.7202, and their successors, as applicable, use, reproduction and disclosure of the Documentation are governed by the terms of this Agreement.

12.8.       Export Compliance.

The Solutions, and DataEndure Software or other components of the Solutions which We may provide or make available to You for use by Your users are subject to U.S. export control and economic sanctions laws. You agree to comply with all such laws and regulations as they relate to Your access to and use of the Solutions. You shall not access or use the Solutions if You are located in any jurisdiction in which the provision of the Solutions is prohibited under U.S. or other applicable laws or regulations (a “Prohibited Jurisdiction”) and You agree not to grant access to the Solutions to any government, entity or individual located in any Prohibited Jurisdiction. You represent, warrant and covenant that (i) You are not named on any U.S. government list of persons or entities prohibited from receiving U.S. exports, or transacting with any U.S. person; (ii) You are not a national of, or a company registered in, any Prohibited Jurisdiction; (iii) You shall not permit users to access or use the Solutions in violation of any U.S. or other applicable export embargoes, prohibitions or restrictions; and (iv) You shall comply with all applicable laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the U.S. and the country in which You and users are located. You represent that neither You nor any of Your subsidiaries is an entity that (a) is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by any person or entity currently included on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List or the Consolidated Sanctions List maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, US Department of the Treasury ("OFAC") or other similar list maintained by any governmental entity, or (b) is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by any person or entity that is located, organized, or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the target of sanctions imposed by OFAC or any other governmental entity.

12.9.       Amendments and Waivers.

No modification, addition or deletion, or waiver of any rights under these Terms will be binding on a Party unless made in a written agreement executed by a duly authorized representative of each Party; provided that the foregoing shall not preclude the binding effect of any modifications to the Terms by DataEndure which solely reflect newly added Other DataEndure Products and Services, or modifications which augment Customer’s rights under these Terms. No failure or delay (in whole or in part) on the part of a Party to exercise any right or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof or effect any other right or remedy, and no waiver of one breach or default or any delay in exercising any rights will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. All rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided hereunder or by law.

12.10.   Notices.

Any legal notice (whether these Terms expressly state “written notice” or “notice”) or communication required or permitted to be given hereunder must be in writing, signed or authorized by the Party giving notice, and may be delivered by hand, deposited with an overnight courier, sent by confirmed email, confirmed facsimile, or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, in each case to the address of the receiving Party as identified in the signature box below, on a valid Order, in the case of DataEndure to legal@dataendure.com, or at such other address as may hereafter be furnished in writing by either Party to the other Party. Such notice will be deemed to have been given as of the date it is delivered. Notice is effective on the earlier of 5 days from being deposited for delivery or the date on the confirmed facsimile, confirmed email or courier receipt.

12.11.   Severability.

If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other provisions of these Terms will nonetheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by these Terms is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify these Terms so as to affect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled.

12.12.   Force Majeure.

Except for payments due under these Terms, neither Party will be responsible for any failure to perform or delay attributable in whole or in part to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God (fire, storm, floods, earthquakes, etc.), civil disturbances, disruption of telecommunications, disruption of power or other essential services, interruption or termination of service provided by any service providers being used by Us, labor disturbances, vandalism, cable cut, computer viruses or other similar occurrences, or any malicious or unlawful acts of any third party (a “Force Majeure Event”).
