12.       LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

12.1     Direct Damages.

THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.

Either party may terminate the Terms if there are no active Subscriptions upon thirty (30) days prior written notice.

16.3     Governing Law. The Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A. without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

If a Change of Control is to a direct competitor of the non-assigning party, then the non-assigning party will have the right to terminate these Terms immediately upon written notice.

In the event of a conflict between the Terms and this DSA, this DSA shall prevail with respect to all Deployment Services.

1.         Deployment Services Generally. NowSecure will provide Customer the Deployment Services identified in an Order Form. Customer acknowledges and agrees that this DSA only governs the Deployment Services.

2.         Customer Policies.

Customer will notify NowSecure in writing of any warranty deficiencies within thirty (30) days of the performance of the relevant Deployment Service. Upon receipt of such notice, NowSecure will promptly attempt to re-perform the deficient Deployment Service within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as agreed to by the parties in writing), or at NowSecure’s option, refund the Fees Customer paid for the deficient Deployment Service on a pro rata basis. Such refund will be NowSecure’s entire liability to Customer in connection with breach of the foregoing warranty. A Deployment Service will be deemed accepted if no written notice of a warranty deficiency is received by NowSecure within thirty (30) days of delivery of the Deployment Service.

4.         Disclaimers. THE LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED IN SECTION 3 IS THE ONLY WARRANTY PROVIDED BY NOWSECURE IN CONNECTION WITH THE DEPLOYMENT SERVICES. FOR SAKE OF CLARITY, ALL DISCLAIMERS IDENTIFIED IN SECTION 10.4 OF THE TERMS ARE APPLICABLE TO DEPLOYMENT SERVICES.

Customer acknowledges the risks of service disruption and system modification inherent in certain types of security testing, including without limitation penetration testing, and that no security assessment is 100% accurate.

6.         Customer Devices. Customer acknowledges that any hardware (including all devices or media containing Customer software) delivered by Customer to NowSecure in connection with the Deployment Services (“Customer Devices”) may be damaged during delivery, and that the performance of the Deployment Services may result in damage to the Customer Devices, including physical damage or software corruption. NowSecure will promptly notify Customer if any significant damage is discovered upon receipt or during performance of the Deployment Services. NowSecure shall not be liable for any damage that may occur to Customer Devices during transit (whether from Customer to NowSecure or NowSecure to Customer) or during performance of the Deployment Services. All Customer Devices will be returned to Customer promptly after completion of the Deployment Services.

7.         Payment Terms. Customer agrees to pay all Fees for Deployment Services as specified in the applicable Order Form. If specified in the Order Form or approved in writing, Customer shall pay out-of-pocket travel, hotel, and meal expenses reasonably incurred in connection with NowSecure’s delivery of the Deployment Services (provided such expenses conform to Customer’s applicable written expense reimbursement policies and guidelines which Customer will provide to NowSecure in advance). Deployment Services must be consumed within the period specified in the Order Form, or if not specified, within one (1) year from the date of the Order Form, after which they expire and are non-refundable. Customer may reschedule Deployment Services by sending an email to [email protected], but if rescheduling results in NowSecure incurring unavoidable or additional expenses, such expenses shall be fully reimbursed by Customer.

8.         Customer Responsibilities. Customer will provide hardware, software, facilities, materials, data, access, assistance, and cooperation reasonably necessary for NowSecure to perform the Deployment Services. Customer shall be solely responsible for ensuring it backs-up and otherwise protects all of its data and software that is accessed or utilized in connection with the Deployment Services. NowSecure shall have no liability to Customer in connection with any hardware, software, or data that is lost, damaged, or corrupted in connection with the provisioning of the Deployment Services. Customer shall be solely responsible for reconstructing data (including but not limited to data located on disk files and memories) and software that may be lost, damaged, or corrupted during the performance of Deployment Services. Customer represents and warrants that it has the authority to give NowSecure access to the hardware (including Customer Devices), software, and data provided to NowSecure in connection with performing the Deployment Services (“Customer Materials”), and for NowSecure to perform the Deployment Services on the Customer Materials. Customer agrees to defend NowSecure in any Claim (as defined in the Terms) brought against NowSecure based on Customer’s failure to obtain authority contemplated in the preceding sentence, and to indemnify NowSecure from any damages, attorney fees, and costs finally awarded against NowSecure by a court of competent jurisdiction or included in a settlement approved by Customer in connection with such Claim. The indemnification requirements in Section 11.3 of the Terms apply to Customer’s indemnification obligations in this Section 8 of the DSA.

9.         Ownership. As between NowSecure and Customer, Customer shall own all Customer Materials (including Customer Devices), as well as all Deliverable Reports, and NowSecure acknowledges that all Customer Materials are provided solely for use in connection with NowSecure’s provisioning of the Deployment Services, and NowSecure agrees not to externally distribute Customer Materials or Deliverable Reports, without Customer’s prior written permission in each instance. To the extent a Deliverable Report contains Pre-Existing Content, NowSecure grants Customer a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to have, use, reproduce, and distribute such Pre-Existing Content in conjunction with its use of Deliverable Reports. As between NowSecure and Customer, NowSecure shall own all Equipment, Software, Documentation, Pre-Existing Content and other materials utilized by NowSecure and/or provided to Customer in connection with the Deployment Services (collectively “Deployment Materials”). Customer acknowledges that all Deployment Materials made available by NowSecure are intended for Customer’s internal use only, and Customer agrees not to externally distribute such Deployment Materials without the prior written permission of NowSecure in each instance.
