TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUTCOLD SOLUTIONS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 9, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR TRADE USAGE. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, OUTCOLD SOLUTIONS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT USE OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE OR SECURE, OR THAT ALL DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED AND ALL ISSUES RESOLVED.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: (A) OUTCOLD SOLUTIONS AND ITS AUTHORIZED PARTNERS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 20 BELOW) WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COSTS OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF; AND (B) OUTCOLD SOLUTIONS’ TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID BY CUSTOMER TO OUTCOLD SOLUTIONS FOR THE LICENSED SOFTWARE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY, IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES (A) AND (B), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM CONTRACT, INDEMNIFICATION, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OUTCOLD SOLUTIONS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. IN ADDITION, CUSTOMER, AND NOT OUTCOLD SOLUTIONS, IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCURACY, QUALITY AND SECURITY OF CUSTOMER’S DATA AND FOR MAINTAINING A BACKUP OF ALL SUCH DATA, AND FOR ENSURING THE SECURITY AND INTEGRITY OF CUSTOMER’S DATA, COMPUTERS, NETWORKS AND SYSTEMS (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO PROTECTING AGAINST VIRUSES AND MALWARE).
12. INDEMNITY. Outcold Solutions will defend Customer against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding brought against Customer by a third party alleging that Licensed Software infringes or misappropriates such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights (“Claim”), and Outcold Solutions will pay all damages finally awarded against Customer by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of such Claim, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Outcold Solutions has no obligation to indemnify Customer with respect to: (a) use of the Licensed Software in a manner that is not permitted under the Agreement or that is inconsistent with Outcold Solutions’ applicable user documentation; (b) modifications to the Outcold Solutions Materials made by anyone other than Outcold Solutions; (c) the combination of Software with hardware or software not made by Outcold Solutions, or with third-party services, processes or materials where the infringement or misappropriation would not occur but for such combination; (d) Customer’s continued use of the Licensed Software or other allegedly infringing activity after receiving notice of the alleged infringement; or (e) any version of the Licensed Software that is no longer supported by Outcold Solutions ((a) through (e), collectively, “Excluded Matters”). If an applicable Claim is made or appears likely to be made, Outcold Solutions may, at its option and expense, modify the affected Licensed Software so that it is non-infringing, or replace it with substantially functionally equivalent software. If Outcold Solutions determines that neither is reasonably feasible, Outcold Solutions may terminate Customer’s applicable license and refund Customer a pro rata refund of the License Fees previously paid by Customer, which will be calculated using the remainder of the license term (beginning with the date of Outcold Solutions’ receipt of notice of the applicable Claim). The obligations set forth in this Section constitute Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Outcold Solutions’ entire liability, with respect to any Claims that the Licensed Software infringes any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights. Customer will defend Outcold Solutions against any Claim brought against Outcold Solutions by a third party arising out of or relating to any Excluded Matter, and Customer will pay all damages finally awarded against Outcold Solutions by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of such Claim. Each party’s indemnity obligations set forth in this Section 12 are conditioned upon the party seeking indemnification (x) providing prompt written notice to the other party of the applicable Claim; (y) giving the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and/or settlement of the Claim, except that: (i) the indemnified party may participate in the defense with counsel of its choice at its own expense, and (ii) the indemnifying party will not agree to any settlement that imposes a material obligation on the indemnified party without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (z) providing reasonable cooperation and assistance in the defense and negotiations.

The party receiving Confidential Information (“Recipient”) agrees: (a) to maintain the Confidential Information of the party disclosing such information (the “Discloser”) in strict confidence; (b) not to disclose such Confidential Information to any third parties; and (c) not to use any such Confidential Information for any purpose other than to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement. Recipient will treat Confidential Information of the Discloser with the same degree of care as it accords to its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than reasonable care. Recipient may disclose the Confidential Information of Discloser to its directors, officers, employees, and subcontractors (collectively, “Representatives”), who have a bona fide need to know such Confidential Information, provided that each such Representative is bound by a legal obligation as protective of the other party’s Confidential Information as those set forth herein. Recipient’s obligations under this Section 18 will continue in effect for a period of three (3) years from the date of last disclosure of Confidential Information by Discloser, except that Customer’s obligations under this Section 18 will continue in effect in perpetuity with respect to Outcold Solutions Materials.
- 18.3 Exclusions. The obligations of Recipient under Section 18.2 will not apply to any Confidential Information that: (a) is now or thereafter becomes generally known or available to the public, through no act or omission on the part of Recipient (or any of its Representatives) or any third party subject to any use or disclosure restrictions with respect to such Confidential Information; (b) was known by or lawfully in the possession of Recipient, prior to receiving such information from Discloser, without restriction as to use or disclosure; (c) is rightfully acquired by Recipient from a third party who has the right to disclose it and who provides it without restriction as to use or disclosure; or (d) is independently developed by Recipient without access, use or reference to any Confidential Information of Discloser.

- 18.5 Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon termination of the Agreement or support and maintenance, Recipient will promptly return to Discloser or, at Discloser’s option, destroy all tangible items and embodiments containing or consisting of Discloser’s Confidential Information and all copies thereof and provide written certification of such destruction or return by an authorized person.
19. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Customer agrees that any breach of any provision hereof regarding either party’s Confidential Information or the infringement or violation of Outcold Solutions’ Intellectual Property Rights embodied in the Outcold Solutions Materials would constitute irreparable harm, and that the aggrieved party will be entitled to seek specific performance and/or injunctive relief in addition to other remedies at law or in equity.
20. AUTHORIZED PARTNERS.

If Customer’s warranty and support terms stated in its agreement with the Authorized Partner are different from those set forth in this Agreement, then such different terms are solely between Customer and the Authorized Partner and Outcold Solutions will have no obligations to Customer under this Agreement with respect to such different terms. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, if there is any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and Customer’s agreement with Authorized Partner, then this Agreement will control (and will resolve such inconsistency) as between Outcold Solutions and Customer.
21. CHOICE OF LAW AND DISPUTES. Unless Customer is the Government, this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, as if performed wholly within the state and without giving effect to the conflicts of law principles of any jurisdiction or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. Any legal action or proceeding arising under this Agreement will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Seattle, Washington, and the parties hereby consent to personal jurisdiction and venue therein. If Customer is the Government, this Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, as amended (41 U.S.C. §§ 7101-7109). Failure of the parties to reach agreement on any request for equitable adjustment, claim, appeal, or action arising under or relating to this Agreement will be a dispute to be resolved in accordance with the clause at 48 C.F.R § 52.233-1, which is incorporated in this Agreement by reference.
22. GENERAL.
