The receiving party shall remain liable for any non-compliance of such employee or contractor with the terms of this Section 4.2. The receiving party shall take the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own highly sensitive confidential and proprietary information of similar nature and importance (but in no event less than reasonable care) to protect the confidentiality and avoid the unauthorized dissemination, disclosure or use of the Confidential Information.

In addition, the receiving party may disclose the Confidential Information if the receiving party is legally compelled to do so, provided that prior to any such compelled disclosure, the receiving party shall (if legally permitted to) notify the disclosing party of such compelled disclosure, shall cooperate fully with the disclosing party in protecting against any such disclosure and/or obtaining a protective order narrowing the scope of such disclosure and/or use of the Confidential Information, and shall solely disclose the portion of the Confidential Information compelled to be disclosed solely to the party entitled to receive it. Notwithstanding any such compelled disclosure by the receiving party, such compelled disclosure shall not otherwise affect the receiving party’s obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information so disclosed.
    4. Identifying Each Party; No Trademark License. TrueVault may identify Customer as a customer of TrueVault and display Customer’s trademark or logo on TrueVault’s website and marketing materials.

  8. Indemnification Obligations.



    1. By TrueVault. Subject to Customer’s compliance with Section 8.3, TrueVault shall (a) defend (and at TrueVault’s option settle) any claim(s) brought against Customer by an unaffiliated third party alleging that Customer’s authorized use and access of the Licensed Software under this Agreement infringes or misappropriates such third party’s trade secrets, copyrights, patents, or trademarks in the Territory, and (b) pay any settlement of such claim(s) consented to by TrueVault or any damages finally awarded to such third party by a court of competent jurisdiction as the result of such claim(s). If such a claim(s) occurs, or in TrueVault’s opinion is reasonably likely to occur, TrueVault may, at its expense and at its sole discretion, in addition to its indemnification obligations under this Section 8.1: (i) procure the right to allow Customer to continue to use the Licensed Software (or infringing portions thereof), or (ii) modify or replace the Licensed Software (or infringing portions thereof) to become non-infringing without degrading the functionality thereof, or (iii) if none of the two (2) foregoing options is commercially feasible, terminate Customer’s right to use the Licensed Software and refund, the unused portion of any prepaid fees paid by Customer for the Licensed Software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TrueVault shall have no obligations under this Section 8. or otherwise with respect to any infringement claim to the extent any infringement claim is based upon or arises out of: (A) any modification or alteration of the Licensed Software not made or authorized by TrueVault that results in such infringement; (B) any unauthorized access or use of the Licensed Software or any breach of this Agreement by Customer; (C) any combination or use of the Licensed Software with other services, software, products, equipment, methods or services not provided by TrueVault that results in such infringement; or (D) Customer’s continued use of the Licensed Software that is allegedly infringing beyond a reasonable period after Customer is notified thereof.

Subject to TrueVault’s compliance with Section 8.3, Customer shall: (a) defend (and at Customer’s option settle) any claim brought against TrueVault by an unaffiliated third party alleging that Customer does not have the right to access, modify and/or delete data on any Third Party Account; and (b) pay any settlement of such claim(s) consented to by Customer or any damages finally awarded to such third party by a court of competent jurisdiction as the result of such claim(s).
    3. Procedures.

The indemnifying party shall not have the right to settle any indemnified claim, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which contains an admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of indemnified party or imposes a material obligation (including payment obligation) on indemnified party that is not wholly discharged by the indemnifying party. The indemnified party may participate in the defense and settlement of any claim for which it is entitled to indemnification at its sole expense. The remedies set forth in this Section constitute each indemnified party’s sole and exclusive remedies, and each indemnifying party’s entire liability, with respect to infringement, violation or misappropriation of third party intellectual property rights.
  9. Limitations. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, REVENUE, BUSINESS, SAVINGS OR USE, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PROCUREMENT, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 8 AND CUSTOMER’S BREACH OF SECTION 2.3, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON NEGLIGENCE, CONTRACT, TORT, INDEMNIFICATION, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF CLAIMS MADE BY CUSTOMER, WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY CUSTOMER TO TRUEVAULT DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH A PARTY NOTIFIES THE OTHER PARTY OF A CLAIM.
