    3. License by Customer to SchoolBI. Customer grants SchoolBI, its Affiliates and applicable contractors a worldwide, limited-term license to host, copy, use, transmit, and display any Non-SchoolBI Applications and program code created by or for Customer using a Service or for use by Customer with the Services, and Customer Data, each as appropriate for SchoolBI to provide and ensure proper operation of the Services and associated systems in accordance with this Agreement. If Customer chooses to use a Non-SchoolBI Application with a Service, Customer grants SchoolBI permission to allow the Non-SchoolBI Application and its provider to access Customer Data and information about Customer’s usage of the Non-SchoolBI Application as appropriate for the interoperation of that Non-SchoolBI Application with the Service. Subject to the limited licenses granted herein, SchoolBI acquires no right, title or interest from Customer or its licensors under this Agreement in or to any Customer Data, Non-SchoolBI Application or such program code.
    4. License by Customer to Use Feedback. Customer grants to SchoolBI and its Affiliates a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use, distribute, disclose, and make and incorporate into its services any suggestion, enhancement request, recommendation, correction or other feedback provided by Customer or Users relating to the operation of SchoolBI’s or its Affiliates’ services.
    5. Aggregated Information. SchoolBI may gather usage data, or trend or demographic information from time to time. We will not share such information with any person or entity in a manner that identifies Customer and/or Users or any person as an individual unless notification is made at the time of collection, or Customer has granted permission. Information shared with third parties is aggregate information only.

CONFIDENTIALITY

  1. CONFIDENTIALITY
    1. Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of Customer includes Customer Data; Confidential Information of SchoolBI includes the Services and Content, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all Order Forms (including pricing). Confidential Information of each party includes business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without knowledge of any breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-disclosure obligations set forth in this “Confidentiality” section apply to Confidential Information exchanged between the parties in connection with the evaluation of additional SchoolBI services.
    2. Protection of Confidential Information. As between the parties, each party retains all ownership rights in and to its Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this “Confidentiality” section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SchoolBI may disclose the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Order Form to a contractor or Non-SchoolBI Application Provider to the extent necessary to perform SchoolBI’s obligations under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein.
    3. Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the 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 that Confidential Information

  1. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND DISCLAIMERS
    1. Representations. Each party represents that it has validly entered into this Agreement and has the legal power to do so.

  2. SCHOOLBI DOES NOT WARRANT THAT CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICES WILL BE ERROR-FREE. CUSTOMER AGREES THAT SUCH PERFORMANCE WOULD NOT BE A REASONABLE EXPECTATION. NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS ARE MADE AS TO ANY OUTCOME WHICH WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH USE OF THE SERVICES OR AS TO ANY PERFORMANCE WHICH WILL BE ACHIEVED. 3. Disclaimers. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AND EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

MUTUAL INDEMNIFICATION

  1. MUTUAL INDEMNIFICATION
    1. Indemnification Disclaimer. Customer accepts that any indemnity provide under Article 9 is expressly subject to the maximum liability caps outlined in Article 10.
    2. Indemnification by SchoolBI. SchoolBI will defend Customer against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against Customer by a third party alleging that any Purchased Service infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights (a “Claim Against Customer”), and will indemnify Customer from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Customer as a result of, or for amounts paid by Customer under a settlement approved by SchoolBI in writing of, a Claim Against Customer, provided Customer (a) promptly gives SchoolBI written notice of the Claim Against Customer, (b)gives SchoolBI sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against Customer (except that SchoolBI may not settle any Claim Against Customer unless it unconditionally releases Customer of all liability), and (c) gives SchoolBI all reasonable assistance, at SchoolBI expense. If SchoolBI receives information about an infringement or misappropriation claim related to a Service, SchoolBI may in its discretion and at no cost to Customer (i) modify the Services so that they are no longer claimed to infringe or misappropriate, without breaching SchoolBI’s warranties under “SchoolBI Warranties” above, (ii) obtain a license for Customer’s continued use of that Service in accordance with this Agreement, or (iii) terminate Customer’s subscriptions for that Service upon 30 days’ written notice and refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of the terminated subscriptions. The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply if (I) the allegation does not state with specificity that the Services are the basis of the Claim Against Customer; (II) a Claim Against Customer arises from the use or combination of the Services or any part thereof with software, hardware, data, or processes not provided by SchoolBI, if the Services or use thereof would not infringe without such combination; (III) a Claim Against Customer arises from Services under an Order Form for which there is no charge; or (IV) a Claim against Customer arises from Content, a Non-SchoolBI Application or Customer’s breach of this Agreement, the Documentation or applicable Order Forms.
    3. Indemnification by Customer. Customer will defend SchoolBI and its Affiliates against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against SchoolBI by a third party (a) alleging that the combination of a Non-SchoolBI Application or configuration provided by Customer and used with the Services, infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights, or b) arising from (i) Customer’s use of the Services or Content in an unlawful manner or in violation of the Agreement, the Documentation, or Order Form, (ii) any Customer Data or Customer’s use of Customer Data with the Services, or (iii) a Non-SchoolBI Application provided by Customer(each a “Claim Against SchoolBI”), and will indemnify SchoolBI from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against SchoolBI as a result of, or for any amounts paid by SchoolBI under a settlement approved by Customer in writing of, a Claim Against SchoolBI, provided SchoolBI (A) promptly gives Customer written notice of the Claim Against SchoolBI, (B) gives Customer sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against SchoolBI (except that Customer may not settle any Claim Against SchoolBI unless it unconditionally releases SchoolBI of all liability), and (C) gives Customer all reasonable assistance, at Customer’s expense. The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply if a Claim Against SchoolBI arises from SchoolBI’s breach of this Agreement, the Documentation or applicable Order Forms.
    4. Exclusive Remedy. This “Mutual Indemnification” section states the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any third-party claim described in this section

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
