The Customer shall cooperate with ServiceMonster’s personnel conducting such audits and provide all reasonable access requested by ServiceMonster to records, systems, equipment, information, and personnel, including machine IDs, serial numbers, and related information.
- Confidential Information. From time to time during the Term, either Party may disclose or make available to the other Party information about its business affairs, products, confidential intellectual property, trade secrets, third-party confidential information, and other sensitive or proprietary information, whether orally or in written, electronic, or other form or media/in written or electronic form or media, that either (i) is marked, designated, or otherwise identified as "confidential" or (ii) a reasonable person would know was confidential or proprietary based upon markings, the nature of the information, or the manner of disclosure (collectively, "Confidential Information"). Without limiting the foregoing, ServiceMonster’s “Confidential Information” shall include all features and functionality of the Services or ServiceMonster Materials and the results of any benchmark or other tests of the ServiceMonster Materials.

On the expiration or termination of the Agreement, the receiving Party shall promptly return to the disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing Party's Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. Each Party's obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the Effective Date and will expire five years from the date first disclosed to the receiving Party; provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.

Customer, not ServiceMonster, shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, appropriateness, and intellectual property ownership or right to use of all Customer Data.

In addition, ServiceMonster will pay any judgment awarded against Customer or any settlement amount agreed to by ServiceMonster for the indemnified claim. THIS INDEMNITY IS THE CUSTOMER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND SERVICEMONSTER’S SOLE OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT.

- If ServiceMonster reasonably believes that a claim of infringement relating to the Services may arise, ServiceMonster may, without limiting ServiceMonster’s indemnity obligations hereunder, procure the right for Customer to continue to use the Services or modify the Services in a functionally equivalent manner so as to avoid such claim of infringement. If the foregoing options are not available on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, ServiceMonster may immediately terminate the Agreement and refund to Customer a prorated amount of prepaid fees for access to the Services actually paid by Customer for the remainder of the then-current term.
- Customer Indemnification. Provided that ServiceMonster complies with the procedures set forth in Section 10(c), Customer will, at Customer’s expense, defend and/or settle any claim, suit or proceeding brought by a third party against ServiceMonster or ServiceMonster’s officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates (collectively, “ServiceMonster Parties”) and arising out of or related to Customer Data, the Indemnity Exclusions, or any Customer breaches of Section 3. In addition, Customer will pay any judgment awarded against ServiceMonster or any settlement amount agreed to by Customer for the indemnified claim.
- Procedures. If one Party (the “Indemnitee”) receives any notice of a claim or other allegation with respect to which the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) has an obligation of indemnity hereunder, then the Indemnitee will promptly give the Indemnitor written notice of such claim or allegation setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances surrounding the claim. The Indemnitee will not make any admission of liability or take any other action that limits the ability of the Indemnitor to defend the claim. The Indemnitee shall grant the Indemnitor full control of the defense and/or settlement of such claim or allegation, including the selection and employment of counsel. The Indemnitee will fully cooperate as reasonably requested, at the expense of the Indemnitor, in the defense or settlement of the claim. The Indemnitee shall have the right, at its own expense, to employ separate counsel and participate in the defense or settlement of the claim in an advisory capacity.

Since some states do not allow certain limitations or exclusions of warranties or liability, some or all of the limitations and exclusions set forth in this Section may be held unenforceable as applied to Customer.

- GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OR CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISION OR RULE THAT WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THOSE OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE. ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE LICENSES GRANTED HEREUNDER WILL BE INSTITUTED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OR THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE IN EACH CASE LOCATED IN KENT COUNTY DELAWARE, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING.

- Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under 7 or, in the case of Customer, Section 3, would cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
- Cumulative Remedies. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the remedies set forth in this agreement are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise.
