Any other use is strictly prohibited and may result in termination of your access to ObservePoint Services without refund or other recourse. Except for the rights expressly granted herein, no other rights, are granted to Customer under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, and all rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by ObservePoint.

7. Disclaimers, Warranties
7.1. Free Services Disclaimer of Liability. Absent a signed Service Order, if Customer chooses to utilize any free Services made available by ObservePoint, Customer releases, waives, and otherwise holds harmless ObservePoint from any loss or liability Customer incurs in its use or reliance upon such free offerings. Customer acknowledges and agrees that ObservePoint is only able to make the free offerings available to Customer based on Customer’s agreement to hold ObservePoint harmless from any liability Customer sustains either directly or indirectly arising from the free services, and as such Customer’s sole and exclusive legal remedy shall be to cease using the free Services. ObservePoint makes no representations or warranties whatsoever about such free Services. ObservePoint does not make any guarantees about the accuracy of any information contained in, by or through any free offerings.
7.2. Warranty. During the subscription term set forth in an applicable Service Order, in the event that Customer notifies ObservePoint that the Services do not materially conform to the specifications set forth in an applicable Service Order, ObservePoint shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with support to address such non-conformity. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SETFORTH HEREIN, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS”, AND OBSERVEPOINT MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY AND ALL SUCH IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE AS TO THE SECURITY, PERFORMANCE, NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE SERVICES.

Customer shall be responsible for and shall ensure current versions of publicly available third party software required to run the Services are installed and maintained on Customer equipment.
7.4. Implied Warranties. Some states or other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to Customer. Customer may also have other rights that vary from state to state and jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
8. Limited Trademark License/Publicity.
During the subscription term set forth in an applicable Service Order, Customer grants ObservePoint a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to use Customer’s name and logo to identify that Customer uses the ObservePoint Services (“Limited Trademark License”) on the ObservePoint website and/or in presentations, marketing materials and links to Customer landing pages. To the extent that Customer is an agency or consultant of the company that will ultimately benefit from the Services provided hereunder, then Customer agrees that it has secured from its client a right and license for ObservePoint to use such client’s name and logo in connection with ObservePoint’s marketing and to identify such client as an ObservePoint Customer. Upon termination of this Agreement, the foregoing Limited Trademark License shall automatically terminate, provided however, that ObservePoint shall be allowed to continue using a Customer’s name and logo on any hardcopy marketing materials that were already in existence on the date of termination.

FOR CLARIFICATION, OBSERVEPOINT DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE AND ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ACTIONS TAKEN BY CUSTOMER BASED ON THE SERVICES PROVIDED INCLUDING CUSTOMER’S ACTIONS TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAWS, REGULATIONS OR OTHER GOVERNMENMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. SOME STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO CUSTOMER.

12. Independent Contractors.
ObservePoint and Customer are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between the Parties. Neither Party is an agent or representative of the other nor is either Party authorized to, and shall not, make any warranties or representations or assume or create any other obligations on behalf of the other.
13. Confidentiality
13.1. Confidential Information. Each Party (each a “Discloser”) agrees that, in the course of performing its obligations hereunder, either might provide to the other (the “Recipient”) or develop information identified as confidential or that reasonably could be construed as confidential (“Confidential Information”).

During the Term of this Agreement and at all times thereafter, the Recipient and its employees and agents shall maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and not sell, license, publish, display, distribute, disclose or otherwise make available the Confidential Information to any third party nor use such Confidential Information except, in either case, as authorized by this Agreement or in connection with the performance or enforcement of this Agreement. The Recipient shall not disclose any such Confidential Information to persons not an employee or agent of Recipient nor to its affiliates without the prior written consent of the Discloser. Any misuse or breach hereof must be reported promptly. Nevertheless and notwithstanding the foregoing statement, each Party will attempt to comply with legally executed subpoena served upon such Party.
13.2. Caveats. The non-use and non-disclosure obligations of this Section 13 shall not apply to any information that (a) was already known to the Recipient at the time of disclosure, (b) was already in the public domain at the time of disclosure, or (c) was received or developed by the Recipient independent of any information received from the Discloser. Recipient may disclose information pursuant to a request under applicable law. Unless prohibited by law, if the information requested is Discloser Confidential information, Recipient shall notify Discloser of the request and give Discloser a reasonable opportunity to establish that the Discloser Confidential Information is exempt from disclosure under one or more exemptions under applicable law.
14. Compliance with Laws.
The Parties shall, in the performance of all obligations hereunder, fully comply with all applicable international, Federal, State and local laws, ordinances, treaties, rules, regulations, orders and policies applicable to or binding upon them.
15. E-Business Activities.

The Party contracting with a service provider must require that such service provider (a) use information disclosed to or learned by such service provider in connection with providing services solely for the purpose of providing the applicable services, and (b) not disclose such information to any third party. Each Party will be liable for the acts or omissions of its service provider in connection with activities contemplated by this Agreement.

The Parties agree that this Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between the Parties, which supersedes and merges all prior proposals, understandings and all other agreements, oral or written, between the Parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be superseded, modified, extended or amended by Customer through any electronic communication, language contained in purchase order(s), “shrink-wrap”, “click-wrap”, or any other terms and conditions unless agreed to in writing and signed by both Parties.
18. Force Majeure.
Except for any obligation to pay amounts due, either Party hereto will be temporarily excused from performance hereunder, in whole or in part, for any period of time that the Party is prevented from performing its obligations as a result of an act of God, governmental regulation or act, war, natural catastrophe, civil disobedience, court order, or other cause beyond the Party’s reasonable control. Such non-performance will not constitute grounds for default.
19. Governing Law.
This Agreement is made in accordance with and is governed and construed under The Laws of The State of Utah, without reference to such state’s conflicts of laws principles. Customer consents to the sole jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts of Salt Lake City, Utah for actions related to the subject matter hereof, to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 21, and irrevocably waives any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-conveniens or any similar ground. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods or the Uniform Commercial Code or similar statutes shall not apply with respect to this Agreement.
20. Legal Advice.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that ObservePoint has not and will not provide Customer with any legal advice and specifically ObservePoint has not given legal advice regarding relevant laws, rules, or regulations in the jurisdictions in which Customer uses the Services nor will Customer construe any ObservePoint communications as legal advice.
21. Arbitration.
Except as set forth below, the Parties shall settle any controversy arising out of this Agreement by arbitration in Salt Lake City, Utah in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

No arbitration or other action under this Agreement, unless involving death or personal injury, may be brought by either Party against the other more than one (1) year after the cause of action arises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may, at its sole discretion, seek preliminary judicial relief in any court of competent jurisdiction (including, but not limited to, preliminary injunctive relief) and, additionally, the provisions of this Section may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.
