15. Confidentiality.
15.1. Nondisclosure and Nonuse.
15.1.1. Recipient shall maintain all Disclosed Confidential Information in strict confidence and shall not Disclose any such Disclosed Confidential Information other than to its Representatives and as Compelled by Law. Recipient acknowledges the confidential and secret nature of the Disclosed Confidential Information and its extreme value to Discloser, and Recipient shall take reasonable precautions to protect Disclosed Confidential Information from unauthorized use, Disclosure, or possession, including all precautions Recipient employs with respect to its own confidential and/or proprietary information, material, and data of a similar nature that it does not wish to be public, but in any case, no less than reasonable care.
15.1.2. Recipient shall remain responsible for the actions and inactions of its Representatives (to whom Recipient has Disclosed the Disclosed Confidential Information) in connection with the Disclosed Confidential Information as if each such Representative were bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement as Recipient. If an act or omission of such a Representative would, if committed by Recipient, constitute a breach of this Agreement, such act or omission shall constitute a breach of this Agreement by Recipient.
15.1.3. Recipient shall use Disclosed Confidential Information only for the Purpose and not for any other purpose, and Recipient shall not use such Disclosed Confidential Information in any manner except as reasonably required for the Purpose. Recipient shall not reproduce, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from Disclosed Confidential Information without the Discloser’s signed, written consent (except that copies may be made for the Purpose if used exclusively by Recipient and its Representatives pursuant to this Agreement as such copies remain Disclosed Confidential Information hereunder).
15.1.4. Nothing in this Agreement obligates a Party to make any particular Disclosure of Confidential Information.
15.1.5. Recipient shall promptly notify the Discloser of any unauthorized use, Disclosure, or possession of Disclosed Confidential Information that comes to Recipient’s attention.
15.1.6. Upon the written or electronic request of Discloser, Recipient shall promptly cease use of the Disclosed Confidential Information and either return or destroy/delete/erase the same; however, the foregoing does not require any action to return/destroy/delete/erase Backed Up/Retained Confidential Information. Upon request, an officer or director (or, if there are none, one of the most senior leaders) of Recipient shall promptly certify the successful completion of the foregoing return and/or destruction/deletion/erasure.
15.1.7. As between the Parties, Discloser retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Disclosed Confidential Information (including all Intellectual Property rights therein and thereto), and nothing in this Agreement grants or confers any such right to Recipient by license or otherwise.
15.1.8. The Parties agree that the mere existence of this Agreement is deemed Disclosed Confidential Information of Supplier and is subject to the restrictions of this Section 15.
15.2. Compelled Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Recipient may Disclose Disclosed Confidential Information if and to the extent Compelled by Law. Recipient shall promptly notify, to the extent practicable and lawful, Discloser in writing of such demand for Disclosure. Discloser, at its sole expense, may seek to make such Disclosure subject to a protective order or other appropriate remedy to preserve the confidentiality of the Disclosed Confidential Information or to narrow the scope of the Disclosed Confidential Information that must be Disclosed as Compelled by Law. Recipient shall not oppose and shall reasonably cooperate with efforts by Discloser with respect to any such request for a protective order or other relief, and Recipient shall comply with any successful revocation of or revision to the original request to Disclose as Compelled by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Discloser is unable to legally seek or obtain or does not seek or obtain a protective order (or other narrowing of the scope) and if Disclosure is Compelled by Law, Recipient may Disclose such Disclosed Confidential Information in compliance therewith without liability under this Agreement.
15.3. Confidentiality Term. This Section 15 shall remain in effect for the Disclosure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Disclosed Confidential Information shall be subject to the obligations of this Section 15 for the Confidentiality Period.
15.4. Legal Remedies. Recipient acknowledges that Disclosed Confidential Information was developed or obtained by Discloser (and/or its Affiliates) by investment of significant time, effort, and/or expense, that such Disclosed Confidential Information provides the Discloser (and/or its Affiliates) with a significant competitive advantage in its business(es), and that any violation or threatened violation of this Agreement (for example, unauthorized use and/or Disclosure of Disclosed Confidential Information by Recipient or any of its Representatives (to whom Recipient had Disclosed the Disclosed Confidential Information) and/or unauthorized possession of Disclosed Confidential Information) may cause Discloser (and/or its Affiliates) immediate and irreparable harm and/or loss (which may be difficult to ascertain and which may not be adequately compensated by damages at law), and therefore, in addition to Discloser’s other available forms of relief, Discloser shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief restraining Recipient’s violation or threatened violation of this Agreement without proof of actual monetary damages and without any requirement for the securing and/or posting of any bond or other security in connection with such remedy.
16. On Site Confidentiality and Safety. If one Party will be at another Party’s premises and/or at another location designated by such other Party (including during delivery): (1) the visiting Party shall follow (and shall ensure that its Personnel follow) all reasonable safety and security rules and procedures, as communicated to it and/or its Personnel from time to time; (2) the visiting Party and its Personnel may first be required to sign a reasonable confidentiality agreement and/or other reasonable agreements governing the visit (such as those that restrict the use of a camera or other recording device); and (3) the visiting Party shall comply (and shall ensure that its Personnel comply) with any such agreements if signed.

18.1.4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; REMEDIES. Sales Ally may not institute any action in any form more than one year after the cause of action has arisen. Supplier shall have no liability to any subsequent purchaser of any Offering and/or to the ultimate or other user of any Offering, in contract, tort, warranty, strict liability, and/or otherwise.

18.1.5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; ENFORCEABILITY. THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT REFLECT AN INFORMED VOLUNTARY ALLOCATION OF THE RISKS (KNOWN AND UNKNOWN) THAT MAY EXIST IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERINGS AND THAT SUCH VOLUNTARY RISK ALLOCATION REPRESENTS A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN SALES ALLY AND SUPPLIER.SALES ALLYSALES ALLYSALES ALLYSALES ALLYeach of the Recipient and Sales AllySales AllySales AllySales Ally

Following the most recent adjudication or Settlement of any Claim, Supplier shall be entitled to contribution for the costs and expenses to defend the Claim (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable defense and investigation costs and expenses) from Sales Ally except in proportion to any such Supplier Misconduct. In the absence of an adjudicated allocation of fault, the Parties shall make good faith efforts to allocate fault between them before pursuing any related legal action against each other.
18.2.2. If requested by Supplier, Sales Ally shall promptly undertake such defense upon demand using counsel approved by a Supplier (via a Supplier Consent), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.

18.2.3. Except to the extent the Sales Ally Indemnification Claim relates to any alleged infringement (and/or interference with and/or misappropriation and/or violation) of any Intellectual Property right purportedly held by Sales Ally, Supplier, in its sole discretion and at Sales Ally’s sole cost and expense, may instead elect to defend the Claim on the Indemnified Party’s behalf and at the Indemnified Party’s expense, and, Sales Ally, in its sole discretion and at Sales Ally’s sole cost and expense, may participate in such defense using counsel approved by Supplier (via a Supplier Consent), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.

The status of the Parties with respect to one another is that of independent contractors. The status of Sales Ally shall be that of an independent contractor, and Sales Ally shall have no authority to assume or create any obligation whatsoever, expressed or implied, in the name of Supplier, nor to bind Supplier in any manner whatsoever.

With respect to the Laws of the Governing Jurisdiction and of the jurisdiction(s) where Sales Ally operates and/or is organized, the Parties agree that at least one element necessary to have a franchise, at least one element necessary to have a distributorship, and at least one element necessary to have a dealership, in each case, is absent, and thus no franchise, distributorship, or dealership is created by this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement grants Sales Ally the right to operate its business under any of Supplier’s trademarks or trade name (although Supplier may use Supplier’s trademarks and/or trade names, in each case, if and as expressly permitted in this Agreement).
19.9. Product of Negotiation.

In the event of a Force Majeure Event affecting one Party, that Party shall promptly notify the other Parties and stay in reasonable contact regarding the status of the Force Majeure Event and its effects. Deliveries omitted in whole or in part while such inability remains in effect may be cancelled, without liability, at the discretion of Supplier.
19.14. Liquidated Damages Generally. By describing any liquidated damages in this Agreement, each of the Parties agrees that it may be difficult to calculate damages from the nonconformance, default, and/or breach to which the liquidated damages apply and each stipulates that such liquidated damages are a genuine pre-estimate and a fair reflection of those Losses the injured Party would suffer, are intended to remove the uncertainty, cost, and complexity of proving actual damages, and accurately reflect damages to the injured Party, in each case, as a result of such nonconformance/default/breach to which the liquidated damages apply, and such liquidated damages are the injured Party’s sole and exclusive right and remedy for such nonconformance/default/breach (but shall not limit the injured Party’s other rights and remedies, including those with respect to nonconformities/defaults/breaches to which liquidated damages do not apply and rights and remedies in connection with any other breach of a covenant, representation, and/or warranty and/or of this Agreement).
19.15. Language. The Parties mutually agree that this Agreement is stated in the English language only. Les Parties conviennent mutuellement que le présent Accord est rédigé uniquement en langue anglaise.
19.16. Electronic Delivery; Electronic Signatures. Except for legal notices, each Party consents to the use of electronic delivery of this Agreement and other communications/documents, and each such electronic delivery is deemed to have the same legal effect as hand delivery, where examples of electronic delivery include a sent email, an upload to a web portal, or a submission using software such as DocuSign® or Adobe®. Each Party further consents to the use of electronic signatures on this Agreement, and each such electronic signature is deemed to have the same legal effect as an original, wet-ink signature, where examples of an electric signature include a .pdf or other copy of a handwritten signature or a signature in the form of one or more keystrokes or movements using electronic devices (such as checking a box with a keystroke, signing using a mouse, signing using software such as DocuSign® or Adobe®, or otherwise) , except that each of the foregoing, to be binding against Supplier, must have the appearance of a cursive signature. No Party may object to the use of such authorized electronic signatures or such authorized electronic delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, forever waiving any and all such defenses, except, in each case, those defenses that would have been available were this Agreement a hand-delivered, original, wet-ink signed document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a typed name in the body or closing of an email or in a text message is not deemed to be an electronic signature or an intention to make an agreement by electronic means unless otherwise stated explicitly within such email or text message.
19.17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same document.
19.18. Interpretation. As used in this Agreement and other written or electronic communications/documents in connection with this Agreement:
19.18.1. The phrases “such as” and “for example” and any other similar expressions are not words of limitation, but rather mean “for example, but not by way of limitation”.
19.18.2. The words “including” and “includes” and any other similar expressions are not words of limitation, but rather indicate concepts such as “including, but not limited to” and “includes, but is not limited to”.
19.18.3. A capitalized term that is a grammatical form of a defined term has a corresponding meaning.
