PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” AND NEITHER GOTENNA (NOR OUR SUPPLIERS) MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SAME OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ORDER FORM, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AVAILABILITY, ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE. TO THE EXTENT THAT GOTENNA (AND OUR SUPPLIERS) MAY NOT AS A MATTER OF APPLICABLE LAW DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY, THE SCOPE AND DURATION OF SUCH WARRANTY WILL BE THE MINIMUM PERMITTED UNDER SUCH LAW.
- Liability. EXCEPT IN CONNECTION WITH CUSTOMER’S FAILURE TO PAY ANY AMOUNTS DUE AND OWING HEREUNDER, A PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR CUSTOMER’S INDEMNITY AND DEFENSE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER: (I) IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT, THE PORTAL, THE SERVICES OR THE RF SOFTWARE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY WAS ADVISED, HAD OTHER REASON TO KNOW, OR IN FACT KNEW OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF; AND (II) EACH PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR DIRECT DAMAGES UNDER THE AGREEMENT, OR RELATED TO THE PORTAL, THE SERVICES OR THE RF SOFTWARE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR (B) THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER TO GOTENNA HEREUNDER (IF ANY) FOR PREMIUM SERVICES DURING THE PERIOD TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE FIRST CLAIM.

- Confidentiality.
11.1. Confidentiality. Any non-public information that one Party (the “Receiving Party”) receives from the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) in connection with these Terms of Use is proprietary and confidential information (“Confidential Information”), including, without limitation, any information that is marked as “confidential” or should be reasonably understood to be confidential or proprietary to the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party agrees that it will not disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any third party, nor use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than in the performance of its obligations or the exercise of its rights hereunder. The Receiving Party further agrees to use commercially reasonable measures to maintain the confidence of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. The obligations set forth in this paragraph will not apply to information that the Receiving Party can document is generally available to the public (other than through its breach of the Agreement), was
independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to the Disclosing Party’s information, or was already lawfully in the Receiving Party’s possession at the time of receipt of the information from the Disclosing Party.
11.2. Specific Performance and Injunctive Relief. The Receiving Party acknowledges that in the event of a breach of Section 11.1 by the Receiving Party, substantial injury could result to the Disclosing Party and money damages will not be a sufficient remedy for such breach. Therefore, in the event that the Receiving Party engages in, or threatens to engage in any act which violates Section 11.1, the Disclosing Party will be entitled, in addition to all other remedies which may be available to it under law, to seek injunctive relief (including, without limitation, temporary restraining orders, or preliminary or permanent injunctions) and specific enforcement of the terms of Section 11.1. The Disclosing Party will not be required to post a bond or other security in connection with the granting of any such relief.
- Assignment. The Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by either Party without the prior, written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that such consent will not be required in connection with an assignment or transfer of this Agreement by either Party (a) to any of its Affiliates; or (b) in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale of equity interests, sale of all or substantially all assets, or other change of control transaction involving such Party or its business. Any attempted assignment that does not comply with the terms of this Section will be null and void.
- U.S. Government Restricted Rights. If the RF Software or any other software associated with the Devices, the Portal or the Services are to be used by an agent or agency of the U.S. Government, then such software and related documentation made available to Customer shall be “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” respectively, as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”) and its successors and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202 of the Department of Defense FAR Supplement (“DFARS”) and its successors. In accordance with FAR 12.212 or DFARS 227.7202, as applicable, any such software and documentation are made available to U.S. Government end users with only those rights set forth in the Agreement.
- Export Controls. Customer will ensure that any exportation of any software associated with the Devices, the Portal or the Services by or on behalf of Customer or any of its Affiliates is in accordance with any applicable United States and foreign export control laws. We will provide Customer with such information regarding such software as may be reasonably requested by Customer in its efforts to comply with the foregoing. 15. Governing Law; Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver; Equitable Relief and Forum Selection. 15.1. Governing Law. The Agreement, and any and all disputes directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to the Agreement, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to the choice of law rules thereof. 15.2. Binding Arbitration. In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, the RP Software, the Portal, the Services and/or the Devices (each, a “Dispute”), either Party may elect to finally and exclusively resolve the dispute by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Any election to arbitrate, at any time, shall be final and binding on the other Party. IF EITHER PARTY CHOOSES ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL. ARBITRATION IS DIFFERENT FROM COURT, AND DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS MAY ALSO BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. All disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator selected jointly by the Parties, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by JAMS pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in
accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All applicable JAMS’ rules and procedures are available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. Each Party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude Parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitration shall take place in Kings County, New York. The Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration. As set forth in Section 15.4 below, nothing in this Agreement will prevent us from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect our proprietary interests.
15.3. Class Action Waiver. You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
15.4. Equitable Relief. You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of our intellectual property rights and/or confidential and proprietary information by you, we will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement. We may, without waiving any other remedies under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect our rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above.
15.5. Forum Selection. To the extent Section 15.2 does not apply (e.g., because neither Party elects to have a Dispute resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to Section 15.2, or in cases where Section 15.4 applies), then each of the Parties hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Kings County, New York for such Disputes, and waives any objections to the laying of venue in such courts.
- Miscellaneous. The relationship of the Parties is one of independent contractors. The Agreement (including all documents incorporated by reference herein) sets forth the entire agreement of the Parties as to its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations, representations, and promises between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Agreement is binding upon and will inure to the benefit of each of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. We may revise these Terms of Use from time to time by posting the revisions to the Terms of Use on the Portal. By continuing to access or use the Portal, the Services or the RF Software after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms of Use; provided, however, that the revised version of the Terms of Use will not apply to any Premium Service subscriptions that are in effect when the revised version of the Terms of Use is posted on the Portal (but the revised version of the Terms of Use will apply to any Premium Service subscriptions that are purchased after the revised version of the Terms of Use is posted on the Portal). A waiver of rights under the Agreement will not be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Party that is waiving the rights. The Parties agree that there are no third-party beneficiaries under the Agreement.
CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CUSTOMER HAS READ THESE TERMS OF USE, UNDERSTANDS THEM, AND AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THEIR TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
