The Receiving Party agrees to (i) not use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement, and (ii) restrict dissemination of Confidential Information only to individuals or third parties with a “need to know” such information and who are under a substantially similar duty of confidentiality. A Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in any legal proceeding or as required as a matter of applicable law or regulation (such as in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, governmental request, or other legal process); provided, however, that to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Receiving Party will (1) promptly notify the Disclosing Party before disclosing the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; (2) reasonably cooperate with and assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in any efforts by the Disclosing Party to contest the disclosure; and (3) disclose only that portion of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed.

Each party shall use at least the same degree of care in protecting the Confidential Information as the party uses to protect its own Confidential Information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care). The parties agree that Confidential Information shall not be used for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement and that neither party shall disclose any Confidential Information to any third party without the other party’s prior written consent other than to: (i) its legal counsel, accountants, or auditors; or (ii) as required by law.

If Customer terminates the Agreement as provided in this paragraph, Reputation will provide or authorize a pro rata refund of the fees paid by Customer to Reputation or the Partner, respectively, for the remainder of the applicable Subscription Term. Customer will be responsible for all fees incurred prior to the effective date of termination.

- Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owed by Customer under this Agreement is thirty (30) or more days overdue, Reputation may, without limiting other rights and remedies, accelerate Customer’s unpaid fee obligations under this Agreement so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and may suspend Services until all such amounts are paid in full.

When reasonably practicable and lawfully permitted, Reputation will provide Customer with advance notice of any such Service suspension. Reputation will use reasonable efforts to re-establish the Service promptly after it determines that the issue causing the suspension has been resolved.

This warranty is conditioned upon Customer: (a) providing Reputation prompt written notice of the Service’s non-conformity, and (b) using the Service in compliance with this Agreement. Customer agrees that its purchases are not contingent on the delivery of any new future functionality or new features, or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Reputation regarding future functionality or new features.

REPUTATION DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY INTERCEPTION OR INTERRUPTION OF ANY COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, NETWORKS, OR SYSTEMS OUTSIDE REPUTATION’S CONTROL. ANY THIRD-PARTY REVIEW OR LISTINGS SITES AND SYSTEMS EACH HAVE PROCESSING TIMES AND INTERNAL VERIFICATION PROCEDURES THAT MAY IMPACT HOW QUICKLY SOME INFORMATION IS UPDATED AND THAT DELAYS MAY OCCUR ON UPDATES TO THIRD PARTY SITES DUE TO THE INTERNAL OPERATIONAL PROCESSES, ERRORS, AND BUGS OF THOSE SITES.
- Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY EVER BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OF GOODWILL), OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON A CLAIM OR ACTION OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER TORT, BREACH OF ANY STATUTORY DUTY, OR CLAIM FOR CONTRIBUTION, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LIABILITY OR DAMAGE.
