5. CONFIDENTIALITY

5.1 Confidential Information.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean nonpublic information, in tangible or intangible form, of the disclosing party that disclosing party designates as confidential or which under the circumstances surrounding the disclosure would reasonably be considered confidential. Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, information contained in design documentation relating to any programs of Inscale Technologies (in the case of Inscale Technologies), Client or Client’s customers to whom Services are rendered (in the case of Client), any source code, development level documentation, all Inscale Technologies development tools (except for publicly available tools), data files, databases, marketing plans, supplier and customer information, proprietary and technical information, and business and marketing strategies and plans (in the case of Inscale Technologies), and information received from others that disclosing party is obligated to treat as confidential (in the case of either party). A party’s Confidential Information shall include all nonpublic information and data that such party discloses, provides, or otherwise makes available to the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, information disclosed to or acquired by recipient of the information shall not constitute Confidential Information to the extent that the recipient can demonstrate (i) such information was lawfully known to the recipient prior to the disclosure thereof by disclosing party without breach of any obligation owed to the disclosing party; (ii) such information is or thereafter becomes lawfully obtained from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the disclosing party; (iii) the recipient’s duty as to confidentiality is waived in writing by disclosing party; (iv) such information was developed by employees or agents of the recipient of the information independently of and without reference to Confidential Information or other information that disclosing party has disclosed in confidence to any third party. In the event a recipient or any of its Representatives are required by legal process or applicable law to disclose any Confidential Information of the disclosing party, the recipient of the Confidential Information shall notify the disclosing party in writing prior to disclosure of such Confidential Information and shall fully cooperate with and assist the disclosing party in taking legally available steps to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event such disclosing party seeks but fails to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy, the recipient may (and shall cause its Representatives to) disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed and shall fully cooperate with disclosing party in its efforts to ensure that confidential treatment will be accorded to Confidential Information disclosed in such manner.

(b) Inscale Technologies shall (and shall ensure that its Representatives) (i) not use, access, modify, disable access to, or delete, sell, assign, license, or subject to any lien, any Client Data, (ii) take all reasonable technical and organizational measures necessary to ensure that Client’s Confidential Information is protected against, and shall be liable for, any and all loss, destruction, damage, and unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure, and other misuse of Client’s Confidential Information, including such measures as logically separating Client’s Confidential Information from all other data, and (iii) ensure that only persons with a specific need and authorized by Client have access to Client’s Confidential Information (and that no other third parties to whom Inscale Technologies or any of its affiliates is providing services has access to any Client Confidential Information). Promptly upon discovery of an actual or suspected breach of the privacy or security of any Client Confidential Information, any violation of any law related to data privacy and security with respect to Client’s Confidential Information, or any such loss, destruction, damage, unauthorized activity, or misuse, Inscale Technologies shall provide notice to Client explaining the nature and scope of the incident and cooperate in any investigation Client deems reasonably necessary (including any forensic investigation). Client shall control all communications and notifications regarding any such breach or violation.

5.2 Nondisclosure. Each party acknowledges that in performance of this Agreement, it may acquire knowledge of the other’s Confidential Information. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.2, each party acknowledges and agrees that all of the Confidential Information disclosed to or acquired from the other party to this Agreement (i) shall be maintained in strict confidence by such party, (ii) that such party will protect such Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care it would use with respect to its own Confidential Information of like kind (but no less than a reasonable standard of care), and (iii) that such party shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity except (a) to its Representatives with a need to know as and to the extent required to perform this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the recipient containing protections no less stringent than those herein, (b) in the case of Client, to exercise its rights hereunder, or (c) as expressly permitted by the disclosing party in writing. No party shall use the other party’s Confidential Information nor circulate it within its own organization except to further the purposes of this Agreement. Each party shall be responsible and liable to the other for any disclosure of Confidential Information by any employee, contractor, agent or other person or entity to whom such party discloses Confidential Information of the other. "Representatives" means, with respect to a party, (A) an affiliate of such party or (with respect to Inscale Technologies) a permitted subcontractor; (B) any director, officer, or employee of such party or of any such party’s affiliates; or (C) any attorney, accountant, or other professional advisor bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure. For purposes of this Section 5.2, a third party breach of the security of Client Confidential Information shall not be considered to be a disclosure of Client Confidential Information under this Section 5.2.

5.3 Irreparable Harm. In addition to all other legal or equitable remedies to which a party may be entitled to enforce Section 5.2, both parties acknowledge that any violation of Section 5.2 by the non-disclosing party would cause irreparable harm to the disclosing party and agree that the other party shall be entitled to an immediate injunction or other equitable relief or specific performance to prevent violations of Section 5.2 without the necessity of proving actual harm or posting bond.

5.4 Independent Development; Residuals.
Nothing in the terms of this Agreement and any Statement of Work shall be construed to limit Inscale Technologies’ or Client’s right to independently develop or acquire products without the use of Confidential Information of the other party. Upon Client’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, Inscale Technologies shall not be prohibited under this Agreement to use for any purpose the Residuals resulting from access to or work with Confidential Information, provided such party shall maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in Sections 5,1, 5.2, and 5.3 and any other written confidentiality agreement between the parties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Residuals” shall mean technical information related to software technology in nontangible form, which may be retained in unaided memory by individuals who have had access, as permitted by this Agreement, to Confidential Information, where (i) such information constitutes general ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques, and (ii) such individuals (x) did not intentionally memorize the applicable idea, concept, know-how, or technique for the purpose of retaining or subsequently using or disclosing it, and (y) did not recall, in good faith, that the idea, concept, know-how, or technique constituted the Client’s Confidential Information. Neither Inscale Technologies nor Client shall have any obligation to limit or restrict the assignment of such individuals or to pay compensation resulting from the use of the Residuals in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not be construed to grant either Inscale Technologies or Client a license of the other party’s copyrights or other intellectual property.

As such Services may be subject to other limitations by SFDC, such as, for example, limits on disk storage space, on the number of calls Customer is permitted to make against the Inscale application programming interface, and, for Services that enable Customer to provide public websites, on the number of page views by visitors to those websites. Any such limitations are specified in the User Guide. The Services provide real-time information to enable Customer to monitor compliance with such limitations.

6.FEES AND BILLING

6.1 Provision of Purchased Services. Inscale shall make the Services available to Customer pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Order Forms during a subscription term. Customer agree that Customer purchases hereunder are neither contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features nor dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Inscale regarding future functionality or features.

6.2 Fees. (i) User subscription fees are based on services purchased and not actual usage, (ii) payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, and (iii) the number of User subscriptions purchased cannot be decreased during the relevant subscription term stated on the Order (provided, that Customer may decrease the number of User subscriptions for the next subscription term by providing notice to Inscale prior to the commencement of such term).

6.4 Invoicing. Customer will provide Inscale with valid and updated credit card information, or with a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to Inscale. Upon Customer providing credit card information, Customer authorizes Inscale to charge such credit card for all Services listed in the Order for the initial subscription term and any renewal subscription term(s). Such charges shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with a different billing frequency stated in the applicable Order. If the Order specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, Inscale will invoice Customer in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order. Unless otherwise stated in the Order, invoiced charges are due net 30 days from the invoice date. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Inscale and notifying Inscale of any changes to such information.

6.6 Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owing by Customer under this or any other agreement for Inscale services is 30 or more days overdue (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts Customer have authorized Inscale to charge to Customer credit card), Inscale may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, accelerate Customer unpaid fee obligations under the Agreement so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend the services to Customer until such amounts are paid in full.

6.7 Payment Disputes. Inscale shall not exercise its rights herein if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith and is cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.

6.8 Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, fees do not include any Taxes. Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with the purchases under the Order. If Inscale has the obligation to pay or collect any Taxes associated with an Order for which Customer is responsible, then the appropriate amount shall be included in the invoice and Customer agrees to pay such amount.

Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, information contained in design documentation relating to any programs of Inscale, Customer or Customer’s Customers to whom Services are rendered (including any source code), development level documentation, all Inscale development tools (except for publicly available tools), data files, databases, marketing plans, supplier and customer information, proprietary and technical information, business and marketing strategies and plans, and information received from others that disclosing Party is obligated to treat as confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, information disclosed to or acquired by recipient of the information shall not constitute Confidential Information to the extent that the recipient can demonstrate (i) such information was known to the recipient prior to the disclosure thereof by disclosing Party; (ii) such information is or thereafter becomes lawfully obtainable from other non-confidential sources; (iii) the recipient’s duty as to confidentiality is waived in writing by disclosing Party; (iv) such information was developed by employees or agents of the recipient of the information independently of and without reference to Confidential Information or other information that disclosing Party has disclosed in confidence to any third Party; or (v) disclosure thereof is required by legal process or applicable law (in which case the recipient of the information shall notify the disclosing Party prior to disclosure of such information).

10.2 Nondisclosure. Each Party acknowledges that in performance of this Agreement, it may acquire knowledge of the other’s Confidential Information.

10.4 Irreparable Harm. In addition to all other legal or equitable remedies to which a disclosing Party may be entitled to enforce this Section, both parties acknowledge that any violation of Section 10 by the non-disclosing Party would cause irreparable harm to the disclosing Party and agree that the disclosing Party shall be entitled to an immediate injunction to prevent violations of Section 9 without the necessity of proving actual harm or posting bond.

The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information.
