Feedback, even if designated as confidential by Customer, shall not create any confidentiality obligation for AIHelp notwithstanding anything else.  Nothing in this Agreement will impair AIHelp’s right to develop, acquire, license, market, promote or distribute products, software or technologies that perform the same or similar functions as, or otherwise compete with any products, software or technologies that Customer may develop, produce, market, or distribute.

If no Order Form has been mutually executed by the parties within one (1) year of the Effective Date, this Agreement shall automatically terminate.  Upon execution of an Order Form, the Term shall continue, and shall last until the expiration of all Order Form Terms. For each Order Form, unless otherwise specified therein, the “Order Form Term” shall begin as of the effective date set forth on such Order Form, and unless earlier terminated as set forth herein, (x) shall continue for the initial term specified on such Order Form (the “Order Form Initial Term”), and (y) following the Order Form Initial Term, shall automatically renew for additional successive periods of one year each (each, an “Order Form Renewal Term”) unless either party notifies the other party of such party’s intention not to renew no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Order Form Initial Term or then-current Order Form Renewal Term, as applicable. In the event of a material breach of this Agreement by either party, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to the breaching party, provided that the breaching party does not materially cure such breach within thirty (30) days (ten (10) days in the case of non-payment) of receipt of such notice. Without limiting the foregoing, AIHelp may suspend or limit Customer’s access to or use of the Service if (i) Customer’s account is more than sixty (60) days past due, or (ii) Customer’s use of the Service results in (or is reasonably likely to result in) damage to or material degradation of the Service which interferes with AIHelp’s ability to provide access to the Service to other customers; provided that in the case of subsection (ii): (a) AIHelp shall use reasonable good faith efforts to work with Customer to resolve or mitigate the damage or degradation in order to resolve the issue without resorting to suspension or limitation; (b) prior to any such suspension or limitation, AIHelp shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to Customer describing the nature of the damage or degradation; and (c) AIHelp shall reinstate Customer’s use of or access to the Service, as applicable, if Customer remediates the issue within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice.  Upon termination of this Agreement, all rights granted herein and in each Order Form to Customer will terminate and Customer will make no further use of the Services.

12. CONFIDENTIALITY

At any time, upon Disclosing Party’s request, Receiving Party shall return to Disclosing Party all Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in its possession, including, without limitation, all copies and extracts thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to any third-party to the limited extent necessary to exercise its rights, or perform its obligations, under this Agreement; provided that, all such third parties are bound in writing by obligations of confidentiality and non-use at least as protective of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as this Agreement and (b) all Feedback shall be solely AIHelp’s “Confidential Information.”

Each Indemnitor’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be conditioned upon the Indemnitee providing the Indemnitor with: (i) prompt written notice of any claim (provided that a failure to provide such notice shall only relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnity obligations if the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure); (ii) the option to assume sole control over the defense and settlement of any claim (provided that the Indemnitee may participate in such defense and settlement at its own expense); and (iii) reasonable information and assistance in connection with such defense and settlement (at the Indemnitor’s expense).  The foregoing obligations of AIHelp do not apply with respect to the Service or any information, technology, materials or data (or any portions or components of the foregoing) to the extent (i) not created or provided by AIHelp (including without limitation any Customer Data), (ii) made in whole or in part in accordance to Customer specifications, (iii) modified after delivery by AIHelp, (iv) combined with other products, processes or materials not provided by AIHelp (where the alleged Losses arise from or relate to such combination), (v) where Customer continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (vi) Customer’s use of the Service is not strictly in accordance herewith.

Customer is responsible for entering into separate contractual agreements with the third party providing the Optional Integration Service and AIHelp is in no way liable or responsible for the provision of the services or the handling and processing of data by the Optional Integration Service.
