This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within RegScale to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Automatically Collected Information

Information about your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected by RegScale.

This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the RegScale website.

Use of Cookies

The RegScale website may use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize RegScale pages, or register with RegScale site or services, a cookie helps RegScale to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same RegScale website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the RegScale features that you customized. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the RegScale website.

  • SSL Protocol


When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

    2.7.   Professional Services. Customer and RegScale may enter into Statements of Work (“SOWs”) and/or Order Forms that describe specific Professional Services to be performed by RegScale with such SOWs and/or Order Forms to incorporate the terms of this Agreement.

  1. Fees and Payment.

     

    3.1.   Fees. Customer will pay all fees set forth on all Order Form(s) hereunder. Except as otherwise specified herein, payment obligations are non-cancelable, and fees paid are non-refundable. Stated fees are based on the Software, Licensed Products, License Profile, or Professional Services purchased as set forth on an Order Form and not actual usage.

    3.2.   Invoicing; Payment. Unless otherwise specified on an Order Form, all fees are invoiced and payable in U.S. dollars and are invoiced annually at the start of the initial subscription term and in advance of each subscription anniversary date thereafter. All invoices issued by RegScale will be due and payable within thirty (30) days of the start date of the accompanying subscription term. On each anniversary of the subscription term RegScale may increase the then-current fees for the Software by the greater of eight percent (8%) or the percentage increase in the monthly Consumer Price Index, for All Items, U.S. City Average, All Urban Consumers (base year 1982-84 = 100), published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics for the most recent twelve (12) month period preceding the date of the proposed increase (“CPI”). Fees set forth on Order Forms exclude all applicable sales, use, and other taxes. Any fees that are not paid when due are subject to interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, from the due date until paid. In the event of any dispute of an invoice, Customer shall notify RegScale in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of the invoice of the disputed amount and the reason for the dispute, and the parties agree to first attempt to negotiate promptly and in good faith a reasonable settlement of the disputed amount. RegScale reserves the right to suspend the license to use the Software in the event that Customer is delinquent on any undisputed (in good faith) late payment obligations for more than thirty (30) days following written notice of such late payment.

    3.3.   Taxes. Customer will be responsible for, and will promptly pay, all taxes and duties of any kind (including but not limited to sales, use, and withholding taxes), if any, associated with this Agreement or Customer’s receipt or use of the Software, except for taxes based on RegScale’s income, employees, or property. If RegScale is required to collect or pay any tax for which Customer is responsible, RegScale will invoice Customer and Customer will pay such taxes and duties directly to RegScale unless Customer provides RegScale with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

  1. Intellectual Property.

     

    4.1.   Customer Data. As between RegScale and Customer, Customer owns all Customer Data. Customer grants to RegScale, its Affiliates and applicable contractors and/or service providers a limited-term license to host, copy, transmit, and display Customer Data, as reasonably necessary for RegScale to provide the Software or Support Services. Customer shall at all times remain responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of Customer Data and the means by which Customer acquired Customer Data.

    4.2.   Ownership. Except for the limited rights expressly granted under this Agreement, RegScale and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, Documentation, Usage Data, and Professional Services (and any copies, enhancements, modifications, or derivative works thereof for each of the Software, Documentation, and Professional Services), including all related intellectual property rights inherent therein. No rights are granted to Customer hereunder other than as expressly set forth herein.

    4.3.   Feedback. RegScale shall have a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sublicenseable, irrevocable, perpetual license to use or incorporate into the Software any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, or other feedback provided by Customer or its Users relating to the operation of the Software. Customer shall have no obligation to provide feedback or suggestions, and RegScale shall have no obligation to use feedback or suggestions.

    4.4.   Usage Data. RegScale owns the statistical usage data derived from the operation of the Software (“Usage Data”). Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting RegScale from utilizing the Usage Data, provided that any such Usage Data shall be aggregated and de-identified so that it will not disclose the identity of Customer or any User(s) to any third party.

    4.5.   Open Source. Certain items of software may be provided to Customer with the Software and are subject to “open source” or “free software” licenses (“Open Source”), some of which may be owned by third parties. The Open Source is not subject to the terms and conditions of Sections 2.1 or 5. Instead, each item of Open Source is licensed under the terms of the end-user license that accompanies such Open Source. Nothing in this Agreement limits Customer’s rights under, or grants Customer rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable end user license for the Open Source. If required by any license for particular Open Source, RegScale makes such Open Source, and RegScale’s modifications to that Open Source, available by written request.

    4.6.   ML Functionality. Machine learning-based and/or model capabilities (“ML Functionality”) from third-party providers may be offered to Customer and licensed under the end-user license that accompanies such ML Functionality. Nothing in this Agreement limits Customer’s rights under, or grants Customer rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable end user license for the ML Functionality. Customer may, at its sole discretion, share Customer Data with or otherwise utilize such ML Functionality solely on an opt-in basis. RegScale makes no representation or warranty, has no indemnity obligation or liability, regarding the use or performance of such ML Functionality and any use is solely at Customer’s own risk. The ML Functionality is “as is”.

  1. Confidentiality.

     

    5.1.   Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall not disclose or use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, except with the Disclosing Party’s prior written permission. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its Affiliates and service providers on a need-to-know basis, and such Affiliates and service providers may use such Confidential Information, in each case only for the purposes of fulfilling Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall be liable to the Disclosing Party for all actions and omissions of its Affiliates and service providers with respect to such information as if such actions and omissions were those of the Receiving Party hereunder. The Receiving Party agrees to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential information of like kind (but in no event using less than reasonable care), and promptly notify the Disclosing Party upon discovery of any unauthorized access or acquisition of Confidential Information and reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party’s efforts to prevent, investigate, and remediate the breach of confidentiality.

    5.2.   Limitations. Receiving Party will not have any obligations under this Agreement with respect to any portion of the Confidential Information that: (a) was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed to the Receiving Party; (b) entered the public domain subsequent to the time it was disclosed to the Receiving Party, through no fault of the Receiving Party; (c) was in the Receiving Party’s possession free of any obligation of confidence at the time it was disclosed to the Receiving Party; (d) was rightfully communicated to the Receiving Party free of any obligation of confidence subsequent to the time it was disclosed to the Receiving Party; or (e) was developed by employees or agents of the Receiving Party who had no access to any Confidential Information as evidenced by written records. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it shall provide the Disclosing Party with 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.

    5.3.   Retention of Confidential Information. Upon a party’s written request, the other party will return, erase, delete, or destroy all copies of Confidential Information of the other party whether or not modified or merged into other materials, and certify in writing to the other party that such party has fully complied with these requirements. A party may retain archived copies of Confidential Information as required by applicable law or its data retention policies, provided that all such copies remain subject to the restrictions herein for so long as they are retained.

    5.4.   Remedies. If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of confidentiality protections hereunder, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief, it being specifically acknowledged by the Parties that any other available remedies are inadequate.

  1. Data Security and Data Privacy.

     

    6.1.   Data Security and Data Privacy. RegScale agrees to maintain commercially reasonable data security policies, procedures, and controls that include appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. Each party agrees to comply with the requirements of all applicable state, national, and international laws and regulations and all applicable industry standards regarding the security, protection, and confidentiality of personally identifiable information with respect to the use of or provision of the Software. RegScale reserves the right to suspend the Software provided to Customer if RegScale reasonably determines that Customer’s use of the Software poses any security or vulnerability risk or is a reasonable threat to the technical security or technical integrity of the Software, provided that RegScale will promptly recommence performance upon cessation of the threat. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Agreement, Customer acknowledges and agrees that use of the Software to transmit, process, or store underlying highly sensitive personal data such as social security numbers, passport or government assigned identification numbers, financial account numbers, payment card or other cardholder data, health or medical information, or any information that reveals racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or genetic or biometric data, is unnecessary for use of the Software and therefore Customer shall be solely responsible for the transmission and processing of any such data, all of which is solely at Customer’s own risk.

 

  1. Warranties.

     

    7.1.   General. Each party represents and warrants that it has the legal power and authority to enter into this Agreement.

    7.2.   Performance Warranty. RegScale warrants that the Software will perform materially in accordance with the applicable Documentation. The foregoing only applies if the applicable Software has been utilized by Customer in accordance with the Documentation, this Agreement, and any applicable Order Form(s). RegScale will, at its own expense and as its sole obligation and Customer’s exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty, use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the non-performing Software, and in the event that RegScale is unable to correct the Software, Customer shall be entitled to terminate the non-conforming Software and receive a refund of any unused, prepaid fees covering the remainder of the subscription term after the date of termination for such non-conforming Software.

    7.3.   Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THIS SECTION 7, REGSCALE MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, REGARDING THE PRODUCTS AND REGSCALE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. REGSCALE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE SERVICE WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT THE OPERATION AND RESULTS OF THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE SERVICE WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY REGSCALE OR ITS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF ANY WARRANTY HEREIN. REGSCALE MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING ANY NON-REGSCALE APPLICATION WITH WHICH THE SERVICE MAY INTEROPERATE.

  1. Indemnification.

     

    8.1.   Indemnification by RegScale. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, RegScale will defend Customer from any and all claims, demands, suits, or proceedings brought against Customer by a third party alleging that the Software, as provided by RegScale to Customer under this Agreement, infringes any patent, copyright, or trademark or misappropriates any trade secret of any third party under United States law (each, an “Infringement Claim”). RegScale will indemnify Customer for all damages, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction, or paid to a third party in accordance with a settlement agreement signed by RegScale, in connection with an Infringement Claim. In the event of an Infringement Claim, RegScale may, at its option: (i) obtain the right to permit Customer to continue using the Software, (ii) modify or replace the relevant portion(s) of the Software with a non-infringing alternative having substantially equivalent performance, or (iii) terminate this Agreement as to the infringing Software and provide a refund of any unused, prepaid fees for the infringing software covering the remainder of the subscription term after the date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RegScale will have no liability for any Infringement Claim of any kind to the extent that it results from: (a) modifications to the Software made by a party other than RegScale, (b) the combination of the Software with other products, processes, or technologies (where the infringement would have been avoided but for such combination), or (c) Customer’s use of the Software other than in accordance with the Documentation, this Agreement, and any applicable Order Form (where the infringement would have been avoided but for such improper usage). This Section 8.1 states RegScale’s entire liability and the Customer’s exclusive remedy for any claims of infringement.

    8.2.   Indemnification by Customer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Customer will defend RegScale from any and all claims brought against RegScale by a third party alleging a violation of a third party’s rights arising from Customer’s provision or use of the Customer Data. Customer will indemnify RegScale for all damages, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction, or paid to a third party in accordance with a settlement agreement signed by Customer, in connection with such claims.

    8.3.   Procedure. The party seeking indemnity under this Section 8 is required to comply with the following in order to be entitled to the defense and indemnification obligations of the other party: the indemnified party must (i) promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or allegation, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances surrounding the claim; (ii) give the indemnifying party sole control of the defense thereof and any related settlement negotiations, including not making any admission of liability or take any other action that limits the ability of the indemnifying party to defend the claim; and (iii) cooperate and, at the indemnifying party’s request and expense, assist in such defense.

  1. Limitation of Liability.

     

    9.1.   Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY’S CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY) SHALL EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER HEREUNDER IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE INCIDENT. THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT LIMIT CUSTOMER’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

Upon any termination for cause by Customer, RegScale shall refund Customer any unused, prepaid fees covering the remainder of the subscription term after the date of termination. If this Agreement is terminated by RegScale for cause, Customer shall remain responsible for any payments set forth on any outstanding Order Forms, regardless of whether such amounts have been invoiced or are payable at the time of such termination.

    10.4.   Survival. Any provisions that are by their nature intended to survive termination of this Agreement will continue to survive following termination.

  1. General.

    11.2.   Governing Law; Attorneys’ Fees. This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different state. Each party hereby consents to the exclusive and personal jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts serving the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Parties expressly disclaim the applicability of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act.

In any action to enforce this Agreement the prevailing party will be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees.

    11.3.   Relationship of the Parties. The parties shall be independent contractors under this Agreement, and nothing herein shall constitute either party as the employer, employee, agent, or representative of the other party, or both parties as joint venturers or partners for any purpose.

    11.5.   Assignment. Neither the rights nor the obligations arising under this Agreement are assignable or transferable by Customer or RegScale without the other party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void and without effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may freely assign this Agreement in its entirety (including all Order Forms) without such consent to its successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.

    11.6.   Publicity. Either party may include the other’s name and logo in customer or vendor lists on such party’s website and marketing collateral.

    11.8.   Export; Anti-Bribery. Each party represents that it is not named on any U.S. government list of persons or entities with which U.S. persons are prohibited from transacting, nor owned or controlled by or acting on behalf of any such persons or entities, and Customer will not access or use the Software in any manner that would cause any party to violate any U.S. or international embargo, export control law, or prohibition. Both parties agree to fully comply with the provisions of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and/or the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) prohibiting foreign bribery and improper payments. RegScale agrees not to provide, and Customer agrees that it has not received or been offered, any illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift, or thing of value from any RegScale employees or agents in connection with this Agreement. Reasonable gifts and entertainment provided in the ordinary course of business do not violate the above restriction. If either party learns of any violation of the foregoing, such party will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify the other party.

    11.9.   Government End User. If Customer is a U.S. government entity or if this Agreement otherwise becomes subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”), Customer acknowledges that elements of the Software constitute software and documentation and are provided as “Commercial Items” as defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 and are being licensed to U.S. government Customer as commercial computer software subject to restricted rights described in 48 C.F.R. 2.101, 12.211 and 12.212.

    11.10.   Headings; Severability; Waiver. Headings used in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of each section. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain enforceable, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Any failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver thereof or of any other provision.

    11.11.   Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all referenced hyperlinks, any attached schedules and exhibits, together with the Order Form(s) constitutes the final agreement between the parties, and is the complete and exclusive expression of the parties’ agreement pertaining to the subject matter hereof. Any and all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements existing between the parties hereto, including any non-disclosure agreement(s), and related to the subject matter hereof are expressly superseded by this Agreement. The parties agree that any term or condition stated in Customer’s purchase order or in any other Customer order documentation is void. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence shall be: (1) the applicable Order Form between RegScale and Customer and (2) this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement shall limit RegScale’s abilities or any other agreement that RegScale may separately provide and/or enter into directly with an Customer.

 

  1. Fees and Payment.

     

    3.1.   Fees. MSP will pay all fees set forth on all Order Form(s) hereunder. Except as otherwise specified herein, payment obligations are non-cancelable, and fees paid are non-refundable.

All invoices issued by RegScale will be due and payable within thirty (30) days of the start date of the accompanying subscription term. On each anniversary of the subscription term RegScale may increase the then-current fees for the Software by the greater of eight percent (8%) or the percentage increase in the monthly Consumer Price Index, for All Items, U.S. City Average, All Urban Consumers (base year 1982-84 = 100), published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics for the most recent twelve (12) month period preceding the date of the proposed increase (“CPI”). Fees set forth on Order Forms exclude all applicable sales, use, and other taxes. Any fees that are not paid when due are subject to interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, from the due date until paid. In the event of any dispute of an invoice, MSP shall notify RegScale in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of the invoice of the disputed amount and the reason for the dispute, and the parties agree to first attempt to negotiate promptly and in good faith a reasonable settlement of the disputed amount. RegScale reserves the right to suspend the license to use the Software in the event that MSP is delinquent on any undisputed (in good faith) late payment obligations for more than thirty (30) days following written notice of such late payment.

    3.3.   Taxes. MSP will be responsible for, and will promptly pay, all taxes and duties of any kind (including but not limited to sales, use, and withholding taxes), if any, associated with this Agreement or MSP’s receipt or use of the Software, except for taxes based on RegScale’s income, employees, or property. If RegScale is required to collect or pay any tax for which MSP is responsible, RegScale will invoice MSP and MSP will pay such taxes and duties directly to RegScale unless MSP provides RegScale with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

    3.4.   MSP Operating Expenses. As between the Parties, MSP will bear all expenses incurred in the performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights hereunder.

  1. Intellectual Property.

     

    4.1.   MSP Data. As between RegScale and MSP, MSP owns all MSP Data. MSP grants to RegScale, its Affiliates and applicable contractors and/or service providers a limited-term license to host, copy, transmit, and display MSP Data, as reasonably necessary for RegScale to provide the Software or Support Services. MSP shall at all times remain responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of MSP Data and the means by which MSP acquired MSP Data.

    4.2.   Ownership. Except for the limited rights expressly granted under this Agreement, RegScale and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, Documentation, Usage Data, and Professional Services (and any copies, enhancements, modifications, or derivative works thereof for each of the Software, Documentation, and Professional Services), including all related intellectual property rights inherent therein. No rights are granted to MSP hereunder other than as expressly set forth herein.

    4.3.   Feedback. RegScale shall have a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sublicenseable, irrevocable, perpetual license to use or incorporate into the Software any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, or other feedback provided by MSP or its Users relating to the operation of the Software. MSP shall have no obligation to provide feedback or suggestions, and RegScale shall have no obligation to use feedback or suggestions.

    4.4.   Usage Data. RegScale owns the statistical usage data derived from the operation of the Software (“Usage Data”). Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting RegScale from utilizing the Usage Data, provided that any such Usage Data shall be aggregated and de-identified so that it will not disclose the identity of MSP or any User(s) to any third party.

    4.5.   Open Source. Certain items of software may be provided to MSP with the Software and are subject to “open source” or “free software” licenses (“Open Source”), some of which may be owned by third parties. The Open Source is not subject to the terms and conditions of Sections 2.1 or 5. Instead, each item of Open Source is licensed under the terms of the end-user license that accompanies such Open Source. Nothing in this Agreement limits MSP’s rights under, or grants MSP rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable end user license for the Open Source. If required by any license for particular Open Source, RegScale makes such Open Source, and RegScale’s modifications to that Open Source, available by written request.

    4.6.   ML Functionality. Machine learning-based and/or model capabilities (“ML Functionality”) from third-party providers may be offered to MSP and licensed under the end-user license that accompanies such ML Functionality. Nothing in this Agreement limits MSP’s rights under, or grants MSP rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable end user license for the ML Functionality. MSP may, at its sole discretion, share MSP Data with or otherwise utilize such ML Functionality solely on an opt-in basis. RegScale makes no representation or warranty, has no indemnity obligation or liability, regarding the use or performance of such ML Functionality and any use is solely at MSP’s own risk. The ML Functionality is “as is”.

  1. Confidentiality.

    5.1.   Protection of Confidential Information
    . The Receiving Party shall not disclose or use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, except with the Disclosing Party’s prior written permission. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its Affiliates and service providers on a need-to-know basis, and such Affiliates and service providers may use such Confidential Information, in each case only for the purposes of fulfilling Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall be liable to the Disclosing Party for all actions and omissions of its Affiliates and service providers with respect to such information as if such actions and omissions were those of the Receiving Party hereunder. The Receiving Party agrees to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential information of like kind (but in no event using less than reasonable care), and promptly notify the Disclosing Party upon discovery of any unauthorized access or acquisition of Confidential Information and reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party’s efforts to prevent, investigate, and remediate the breach of confidentiality.

    5.2.   Limitations. Receiving Party will not have any obligations under this Agreement with respect to any portion of the Confidential Information that: (a) was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed to the Receiving Party; (b) entered the public domain subsequent to the time it was disclosed to the Receiving Party, through no fault of the Receiving Party; (c) was in the Receiving Party’s possession free of any obligation of confidence at the time it was disclosed to the Receiving Party; (d) was rightfully communicated to the Receiving Party free of any obligation of confidence subsequent to the time it was disclosed to the Receiving Party; or (e) was developed by employees or agents of the Receiving Party who had no access to any Confidential Information as evidenced by written records. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it shall provide the Disclosing Party with 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.

    5.3.   Retention of Confidential Information. Upon a party’s written request, the other party will return, erase, delete, or destroy all copies of Confidential Information of the other party whether or not modified or merged into other materials, and certify in writing to the other party that such party has fully complied with these requirements. A party may retain archived copies of Confidential Information as required by applicable law or its data retention policies, provided that all such copies remain subject to the restrictions herein for so long as they are retained.

    5.4.   Remedies. If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of confidentiality protections hereunder, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief, it being specifically acknowledged by the Parties that any other available remedies are inadequate.

  1. Data Security and Data Privacy.

     

    6.1.   Data Security and Data Privacy. RegScale agrees to maintain commercially reasonable data security policies, procedures, and controls that include appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. Each party agrees to comply with the requirements of all applicable state, national, and international laws and regulations and all applicable industry standards regarding the security, protection, and confidentiality of personally identifiable information with respect to the use of or provision of the Software. RegScale reserves the right to suspend the Software provided to MSP if RegScale reasonably determines that MSP’s use of the Software poses any security or vulnerability risk or is a reasonable threat to the technical security or technical integrity of the Software, provided that RegScale will promptly recommence performance upon cessation of the threat. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Agreement, MSP acknowledges and agrees that use of the Software to transmit, process, or store underlying highly sensitive personal data such as social security numbers, passport or government assigned identification numbers, financial account numbers, payment card or other cardholder data, health or medical information, or any information that reveals racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or genetic or biometric data, is unnecessary for use of the Software and therefore MSP shall be solely responsible for the transmission and processing of any such data, all of which is solely at MSP’s own risk.

 

  1. Warranties.

     

    7.1.   General. Each party represents and warrants that it has the legal power and authority to enter into this Agreement.

    7.2.   Performance Warranty. RegScale warrants that the Software will perform materially in accordance with the applicable Documentation. The foregoing only applies if the applicable Software has been utilized by MSP in accordance with the Documentation, this Agreement, and any applicable Order Form(s). RegScale will, at its own expense and as its sole obligation and MSP’s exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty, use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the non-performing Software, and in the event that RegScale is unable to correct the Software, MSP shall be entitled to terminate the non-conforming Software and receive a refund of any unused, prepaid fees covering the remainder of the subscription term after the date of termination for such non-conforming Software.

    7.3.   Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THIS SECTION 7, REGSCALE MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, REGARDING THE PRODUCTS AND REGSCALE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. REGSCALE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE SERVICE WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT THE OPERATION AND RESULTS OF THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE SERVICE WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY REGSCALE OR ITS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF ANY WARRANTY HEREIN. REGSCALE MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING ANY NON-REGSCALE APPLICATION WITH WHICH THE SERVICE MAY INTEROPERATE.

  1. Indemnification.

    8.1.   Indemnification by RegScale. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, RegScale will defend MSP from any and all claims, demands, suits, or proceedings brought against MSP by a third party alleging that the Software, as provided by RegScale to MSP under this Agreement, infringes any patent, copyright, or trademark or misappropriates any trade secret of any third party under United States law (each, an “Infringement Claim”). RegScale will indemnify MSP for all damages, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction, or paid to a third party in accordance with a settlement agreement signed by RegScale, in connection with an Infringement Claim. In the event of an Infringement Claim, RegScale may, at its option: (i) obtain the right to permit MSP to continue using the Software, (ii) modify or replace the relevant portion(s) of the Software with a non-infringing alternative having substantially equivalent performance, or (iii) terminate this Agreement as to the infringing Software and provide a refund of any unused, prepaid fees for the infringing software covering the remainder of the subscription term after the date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RegScale will have no liability for any Infringement Claim of any kind to the extent that it results from: (a) modifications to the Software made by a party other than RegScale, (b) the combination of the Software with other products, processes, or technologies (where the infringement would have been avoided but for such combination), or (c) MSP’s use of the Software other than in accordance with the Documentation, this Agreement, and any applicable Order Form (where the infringement would have been avoided but for such improper usage). This Section 8.1 states RegScale’s entire liability and the MSP’s exclusive remedy for any claims of infringement.

    8.2.   Indemnification by MSP. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, MSP will defend RegScale from any and all claims brought against RegScale by a third party (i) arising from or in connection with the MSP Services offered by MSP; or (ii) alleging a violation of a third party’s rights arising from MSP’s provision or use of the MSP Data. MSP will indemnify RegScale for all damages, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction, or paid to a third party in accordance with a settlement agreement signed by MSP, in connection with such claims.

    8.3.   Procedure. The party seeking indemnity under this Section 8 is required to comply with the following in order to be entitled to the defense and indemnification obligations of the other party: the indemnified party must (i) promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or allegation, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances surrounding the claim; (ii) give the indemnifying party sole control of the defense thereof and any related settlement negotiations, including not making any admission of liability or take any other action that limits the ability of the indemnifying party to defend the claim; and (iii) cooperate and, at the indemnifying party’s request and expense, assist in such defense.

  1. Limitation of Liability.

     

    9.1.   Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY’S CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY) SHALL EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY MSP HEREUNDER IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE INCIDENT. THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT LIMIT MSP’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

    9.2.   Disclaimer of Consequential Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR (i) ERROR OR INTERRUPTION OF USE, LOSS, OR INACCURACY OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, (ii) COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES, RIGHTS, OR TECHNOLOGY (iii) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR (iv) LOSS OF REVENUES AND LOSS OF PROFITS, HOWEVER CAUSED AND, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER OR NOT THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

    9.3.   Limitations. The limitations set forth in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 shall not apply to: (i) the obligations set forth in Section 8 (Indemnification), (ii) violation or misappropriation of a party’s intellectual property rights, (iii) damages arising from a breach by MSP of Section 2.3 (Use Guidelines and Restrictions), and (iv) damages arising from either party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Upon any termination for cause by MSP, RegScale shall refund MSP any unused, prepaid fees covering the remainder of the subscription term after the date of termination. If this Agreement is terminated by RegScale for cause, MSP shall remain responsible for any payments set forth on any outstanding Order Forms, regardless of whether such amounts have been invoiced or are payable at the time of such termination.

    10.4   Survival. Any provisions that are by their nature intended to survive termination of this Agreement will continue to survive following termination.

  1. General.

For the avoidance of doubt, a force majeure event shall not include (a) financial distress, (b) changes in the market prices or conditions, or (c) a party’s financial inability to perform its obligations hereunder.

    11.8.   Export; Anti-Bribery. Each party represents that it is not named on any U.S. government list of persons or entities with which U.S. persons are prohibited from transacting, nor owned or controlled by or acting on behalf of any such persons or entities, and MSP will not access or use the Software in any manner that would cause any party to violate any U.S. or international embargo, export control law, or prohibition. Both parties agree to fully comply with the provisions of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and/or the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) prohibiting foreign bribery and improper payments. RegScale agrees not to provide, and MSP agrees that it has not received or been offered, any illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift, or thing of value from any RegScale employees or agents in connection with this Agreement. Reasonable gifts and entertainment provided in the ordinary course of business do not violate the above restriction. If either party learns of any violation of the foregoing, such party will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify the other party.

    11.9.   Government Customer. If MSP is a U.S. government entity or if this Agreement otherwise becomes subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”), MSP acknowledges that elements of the Software constitute software and documentation and are provided as “Commercial Items” as defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 and are being licensed to U.S. government MSP as commercial computer software subject to restricted rights described in 48 C.F.R. 2.101, 12.211 and 12.212.

This U.S. Government Customer Section 11.9 is in lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFARS, or other clause or provision that addresses government rights in computer software or technical data.

    11.10.   Headings; Severability; Waiver. Headings used in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of each section. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain enforceable, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Any failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver thereof or of any other provision.

    11.11.   Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all referenced hyperlinks, any attached schedules and exhibits, together with the Order Form(s) constitutes the final agreement between the parties, and is the complete and exclusive expression of the parties’ agreement pertaining to the subject matter hereof.
