  4. Discounts. Discounts offered on an Order Form are for the term of the Order Form and HG reserves the right to increase fees upon renewal.

4.     TERM AND TERMINATION

  1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues until all underlying subscriptions have expired or have been terminated, unless the Agreement is otherwise terminated as provided herein.
  2. Subscription Term. The Subscription Term shall be as specified herein or in the applicable Order Form. Except as otherwise specified, subscriptions will automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring Subscription Term, unless written notice of non-renewal is given by either party at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the active Subscription Term.
  3. Termination. A party may terminate this Agreement for cause upon 30 days’ written notice to the other party if the other party commits a material breach and if such breach remains uncured after 30 days from the delivery of such notice. If Customer terminates this MSA or an applicable Order Form due to HG Insights’ uncured material breach, HG Insights shall provide Customer with a pro-rata refund of any fees paid in advance for the remainder of the Subscription Term (calculated as of the date of termination) within 30 days of termination.
  4. Effect of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Customer agrees to cease all use of any Content.

5.     CONFIDENTIALITY

Each party acknowledges that during the term of this Agreement, it may have access to the confidential information and trade secrets of the other party consisting of, but not limited to, information concerning each other’s data, methods of operations, systems, products, customer lists, agent lists, pricing that is not made publicly available, and other such proprietary business information (“Confidential Information”). Each party agrees not to use or disclose the Confidential Information of the other party except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Unless expressly authorized in writing by the other party, neither party shall disclose to any third party any Confidential Information or materials provided by the other party under this Agreement, or use such Confidential Information in any manner other than to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The foregoing restrictions do not apply to any information that (i) is in or becomes generally available in the public domain by no action of the receiving party hereunder (provided that information shall not be considered generally available in the public domain even if it is generated from information in the public domain, if the compilation of such information is not generally known), (ii) is already lawfully in the receiving party’s possession, (iii) was known to the receiving party prior to the date of disclosure, (iv) becomes known to the receiving party from a third party having a bona fide right to disclose the information without any confidentiality obligation, or (v) Confidential Information that the receiving party is obligated to produce pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a valid administrative subpoena, provided that receiving party provides disclosing party timely notice of such court order or subpoena (if legally permissible). Proprietary Data is the Confidential Information of HG Insights. Furthermore, Customer will keep in strict confidence all passwords and other access information to the Services. Each party retains ownership of its Confidential Information.

6.     INDEMNIFICATION

Each party (“Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend and hold the other party and its officers, directors, employees, agents and assigns harmless from and against any costs, losses, liabilities and expenses, including all court costs, reasonable expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees that such other party may suffer, incur or be subjected to by reason of any third party action or other legal claim that arises out of a breach of this Agreement by the Indemnifying Party. This indemnification obligation includes any third-party claim against a party that its use of any content or materials in accordance with the Agreement and that was provided or made available by the other party infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights or violates any applicable law or regulation. A party seeking indemnification will provide the Indemnifying Party with prompt written notice of the relevant claim (provided that the failure to provide prompt notice will only relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations to the extent it is materially prejudiced by such failure) and permit the Indemnifying Party to control the defense, settlement or compromise of such claim. The indemnified party may employ counsel at its own expense to assist it with respect to such claim. In addition, if the use of the Service infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights, HG Insights may, at its option, (i) procure for Customer the right to continue use of the Service; (ii) modify the Service to make it non-infringing, provided that it still substantially conforms to the Documentation; or (iii) if HG Insights, after using commercially reasonable efforts, is unable to accomplish the foregoing remedies, it may terminate the Agreement and refund Customer the amount of any prepaid and unused fees. The HG Insights intellectual property indemnity provided herein shall not apply to the extent the alleged infringement arises from any use of the Service not in accordance with this Agreement. This section states HG Insights’ exclusive liability for any infringement of intellectual property rights.

EACH PARTY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT (A) IT WILL COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH ITS USE OR PROVISION OF THE SERVICES AND PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT; (B) IT HAS ALL NECESSARY RIGHT, POWER, AND AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND TO PERFORM THE ACTS REQUIRED OF IT HEREUNDER, INCLUDING GRANTING THE RIGHTS IT GRANTS TO THE OTHER PARTY; (C) IT IS DULY ORGANIZED AND A VALIDLY EXISTING ENTITY, IN GOOD STANDING UNDER THE LAWS OF THE JURISDICTION IN WHICH IT WAS FORMED, AND THAT IT HAS THE RIGHT AND CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT; (D) THERE ARE NO OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS OR AGREEMENTS THAT CONFLICT WITH THIS AGREEMENT; AND (E) ITS REPRESENTATIVE EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DULY AUTHORIZED TO BIND SUCH PARTY AND THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES A VALID AND LEGALLY BINDING OBLIGATION ON SUCH PARTY.

Such third-party service may not have the same authentication and security features as the TrustRadius Services. Customer assumes all risk and responsibility arising from the use of, and access to and from, the TrustRadius Services enabled through SSO. Further, use of SSO requires the Customer to ensure that each username/identification and password (“SSO User Credentials”) is protected in accordance with all reasonable security standards and safeguards. Customer shall take all steps to ensure only authorized access to TrustRadius’ websites and other services accessed using the SSO User Credentials. Should unauthorized access to TrustRadius’ websites or other services occur through the negligent, willful or otherwise unlawful disclosure or use of the SSO User Credentials, Customer shall indemnify TrustRadius against any losses, damage or hacking to TrustRadius systems, website, or business caused by such disclosure or use.
  9. Premium Content. Subject to this Agreement and only during the Subscription Term, if the Customer purchases access to Premium Content (“Premium Content”, which means one or more of the following services Customer Story, Shareable Quotes, Competitive Report, Market Report) then TrustRadius grants Customer a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable (except as provided in Section 10.4 of the MSA) right to use, copy, publish, display, reproduce, and distribute the Premium Content or excerpts of the same.
  10. Premium Content License Restrictions. The license granted in Section 2.9 is subject to the following:

    (b)    The Customer shall not display and shall not permit others to display the Premium Content with any images or content that is or could be reasonably construed to be offensive, pornographic, defamatory, or libelous, infringing the intellectual property rights of any third party, promoting terrorism or other unlawful violence, or for any other purpose that violates Applicable Law.

    (c)    The Customer shall not translate the Premium Content.

    (d)    All uses of the Premium Content that do not comply fully with the provisions of Sections 2.9 and 2.10 shall for all purposes be deemed beyond the scope of the license granted hereunder.

3.   ACCESS AND SECURITY

  1. Customer Credentials. For any TrustRadius Service for which TrustRadius makes available passwords or other user identification technology (“Credentials”) to access such service(s), Customer agrees to safeguard any usernames and passwords provided to Authorized Users to access the TrustRadius Services. Further, Customer will advise all Authorized User(s) of such Credentials that such Credentials must be maintained in confidence and not transmitted or shared. Customer is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of each username and password used and is solely responsible for any and all activities that occur under all Customer accounts. Customer agrees to notify TrustRadius immediately of any unauthorized use of, or other breach of security involving, Customer’s accounts for TrustRadius Services. TrustRadius will not be liable for any loss that Customer may incur as a result of unauthorized use or disclosure of Customer’s Credentials or accounts.
  2. Data Privacy. The parties hereby agree to the terms of the attached Data Protection Addendum (the “DPA”), if applicable, which terms are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
  3. Suspension of TrustRadius Services. TrustRadius may suspend Customer’s access to any portion or all of the Site or the TrustRadius Services if TrustRadius reasonably determines that: (a) an objective security threat arises so great as to warrant immediate action by TrustRadius to protect the security of Customer Content, content of other TrustRadius customers and/or TrustRadius Services or systems, (b) there is an attack or threat of attack on the Site or TrustRadius Services (including a denial of service attack) that necessitates such suspension; (c) Customer’s use of the TrustRadius Services disrupts or poses a security risk to TrustRadius or any other user of the TrustRadius Services, may harm TrustRadius’ systems, or may subject TrustRadius or any third party to liability; (d) Customer is using the TrustRadius Services for fraudulent or illegal activities; (e) Customer is in breach or violation of this Agreement or Applicable Law; or (f) Customer is in default of its payment obligations hereunder (“Suspension”). TrustRadius will use good faith efforts to provide advance notice of Suspension (unless prohibited from doing so due to the emergent nature of the basis for Suspension, and in such event shall provide notice as soon as reasonably practical thereafter). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Suspension is due to Customer’s default of its payment terms, TrustRadius shall first provide a Customer with a notice of default and allow Customer to cure within fifteen (15) days from the date of the notice of default before Suspension. TrustRadius will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits) or any other consequences that Customer may incur as a result of any Suspension.

4.   INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP
