Customer acknowledges and agrees that Screener has no obligation to make available to Customer any subsequent versions of Screener Products.

Customer shall be responsible for any and all actions taken using Customer’s accounts and passwords.

- DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
- Limited Warranty.
Screener warrants, for Customer’s benefit only, that Screener Products will operate in substantial conformity with the applicable Documentation. Screener does not warrant that Customer’s use of the Screener Products will be uninterrupted or error-free, nor does Screener warrant that it will review the Customer Data for accuracy or that it will preserve or maintain the Customer Data without loss. Screeners’ sole liability (and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy) for any breach of this warranty shall be, in Screeners’ sole discretion and at no charge to Customer, to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with an error correction or work- around that corrects the reported non-conformity, or if Screener determines such remedies to be impracticable, to allow Customer to terminate the Subscription Term and receive as its sole remedy a refund of: (a) the monthly subscription fees specified at the time of purchase which are allocable to the thirty (30) day period prior to the date the warranty claim was made and (b) any fees Customer has pre-paid for use of Screener Products or related services it has not received as of the date of the warranty claim. The limited warranty set forth in this Section 6.1 shall not apply: (i) unless Customer makes a claim within thirty (30) days of the date on which the condition giving rise to the claim first appeared, or (ii) if the error was caused by misuse, unauthorized modifications or third- party hardware, software or services or (iii) to use provided on a no-charge or evaluation basis.
- Warranty Disclaimer.
EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY IN SECTION 6.1, Screener Products and all SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS". NEITHER SCREENER NOR ITS SUPPLIERS MAKES ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT. CUSTOMER MAY HAVE OTHER STATUTORY RIGHTS. HOWEVER, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DURATION OF STATUTORILY REQUIRED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD. SCREENER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DELAYS, INTERRUPTIONS, SERVICE FAILURES AND OTHER PROBLEMS INHERENT IN USE OF THE INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR OTHER SYSTEMS OUTSIDE THE REASONABLE CONTROL OF SCREENER.

NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST OR INACCURATE DATA, FAILURE OF SECURITY MECHANISMS, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, COSTS OF DELAY OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, RELIANCE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, SCREENER’S AND ITS SUPPLIERS’ ENTIRE LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY CUSTOMER TO SCREENER DURING THE PRIOR TWELVE MONTHS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
THIS SECTION 8 SHALL NOT APPLY TO CUSTOMER WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM ARISING UNDER THE SECTIONS TITLED "GENERAL RESTRICTIONS," "CUSTOMER DATA" OR "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION".
The parties agree that the limitations specified in this Section 8 will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose.
- INDEMNIFICATION.
Screener shall indemnify and hold harmless Customer from and against any claim of infringement of a U.S. patent, U.S. copyright, or U.S. trademark asserted against Customer by a third party based upon Customer’s use of Screener Products in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that Screener shall have received from Customer: (i) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for Screener to respond without prejudice); (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense, or settlement (if applicable) of such claim; and (iii) all reasonable necessary cooperation of Customer. If Customer’s use of any Screener Product is, or in Screener’s opinion is likely to be, enjoined due to the type of infringement specified above, or if required by settlement, Screener may, in its sole discretion: (a) substitute substantially functionally similar products or services; (b) procure for Customer the right to continue using Screener Products; or if (a) and (b) are commercially impracticable, (c) terminate the Agreement and refund to Customer the fees paid by Customer for the portion of the Subscription Term which was paid by Customer but not rendered by Screener. The foregoing indemnification obligation of Screener shall not apply: (1) if a Screener Product is modified by any party other than Screener, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such modification; (2) a Screener Product is combined with other non-Screener products or processes not authorized by Screener, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such combination; (3) to any unauthorized use of Screener Products; or (4) any action arising as a result of Customer Data or any third-party deliverables or components contained within Screener Products. THIS SECTION 9 SETS FORTH SCREENER’S SOLE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT.
- CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
Each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information it obtains ("Receiving Party") from the disclosing party ("Disclosing Party") constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party ("Confidential Information"), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Any Screener Technology, performance information relating to the Screener Products, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information of Screener without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence and not use or disclose any Confidential Information. The Receiving Party’s nondisclosure obligation shall not apply to information which the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information; or (v) is required to be disclosed pursuant to a regulation, law or court order (but only to the minimum extent required to comply with such regulation or order and with advance notice to the Disclosing Party). The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.
