8.2 Maintenance of Confidential Information. Licensee agrees to keep confidential all confidential information disclosed to it by Wedding Workflow in accordance herewith, and to protect the confidentiality thereof in the same manner it protects the confidentiality of similar information and data of its own (at all times exercising at least a reasonable degree of care in the protection of confidential information); provided, however, that Licensee shall not have any such obligation with respect to use or disclosure to others not parties to this Agreement of such confidential information as can be established to: (a) have been known publicly; (b) have been known generally in the industry before communication by Wedding Workflow to Licensee; (c) have become know publicly, without fault on the part of Licensee, subsequent to disclosure by Wedding Workflow; (d) have been known otherwise by Licensee before communication by Wedding Workflow; or (e) have been received by Licensee without any obligation of confidentiality from a source (other than Wedding Workflow) lawfully having possession of such information.
8.3 Injunctive Relief. Licensee acknowledges that the unauthorized use, transfer or disclosure of the Software and Documentation or copies thereof will (i) substantially diminish the value to Wedding Workflow of the trade secrets and other proprietary interests that are the subject of this Agreement; (ii) render Wedding Workflow's remedy at law for such unauthorized use, disclosure or transfer inadequate; and (iii) cause irreparable injury in a short period of time. If Licensee breaches any of its obligations with respect to the use or confidentiality of the Software or Documentation, Wedding Workflow shall be entitled to equitable relief to protect its interests therein, including, but not limited to, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief.
8.4 Survival. Licensee's obligations under this Article 8 will survive the termination of this Agreement or of any license granted under this Agreement for whatever reason.
9. WARRANTIES; SUPERIOR RIGHTS.
9.1 Ownership. Wedding Workflow represents that it is the owner of the entire right, title, and interest in and to Software, and that it has the sole right to grant licenses thereunder, and that it has not knowingly granted licenses thereunder to any other entity that would restrict rights granted hereunder except as stated herein.
9.2 No Warranty. There are no warrantees, expressed or implied. The Software is delivered “as is,” and Licensee assumes all risks accompanying use of the Software. The Licensee uses Wedding Workflow without recourse for Software failure.
9.3 Limitations. Wedding Workflow's instructions for use of the Software are provided by Wedding Workflow in the Documentation. These instructions/Documentation may be amended, supplemented, or modified by Wedding Workflow from time to time and at Wedding Workflow’s sole discretion. Wedding Workflow shall have no warranty obligations with respect to any failure or problem that results from following the instructions or from errors in the Documentation. Wedding Workflow shall have no warranty obligations with respect to any failures of the Software which are the result of accident, abuse, misapplication, extreme power surge or extreme electromagnetic field.
9.4 Disclaimer of Warranties. WEDDING WORKFLOW DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT ALL ERRORS IN THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION WILL BE CORRECTED. NO WARRANTEES ARE OFFERED BY WEDDING WORKFLOW. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES RESPECTING THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION OR SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF DESIGN, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EVEN IF WEDDING WORKFLOW HAS BEEN INFORMED OF SUCH PURPOSE. NO AGENT OF WEDDING WORKFLOW IS AUTHORIZED TO ALTER OR EXCEED THE WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS OF WEDDING WORKFLOW AS SET FORTH HEREIN.
9.5 Limitation of Liability. LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE CONSIDERATION WHICH WEDDING WORKFLOW IS CHARGING HEREUNDER DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY CONSIDERATION FOR ASSUMPTION BY WEDDING WORKFLOW OF THE RISK OF LICENSEE'S CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY ARISE IN CONNECTION WITH LICENSEE'S USE OF THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION. ACCORDINGLY, LICENSEE AGREES THAT WEDDING WORKFLOW SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO LICENSEE FOR ANY LOSS-OF-PROFIT OR INFORMATION, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE LICENSING OR USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR DOCUMENTATION. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of Wedding Workflow to any person, firm or corporation whatsoever arising out of or in the connection with any license, use or other employment of any Software delivered to Licensee hereunder, whether such liability arises from any claim based on breach or repudiation of contract, warranty, tort or otherwise, shall in no case exceed the actual monetary price paid to Wedding Workflow by Licensee for the Software whose license, use, or other employment gives rise to the liability. The essential purpose of this provision is to limit the potential liability of Wedding Workflow arising out of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the limitations set forth in this Article 9 are integral to the amount of consideration levied in connection with the license of the Software and Documentation and any services rendered hereunder and that, were Wedding Workflow to assume any further liability other than as set forth herein, such consideration would of necessity be set substantially higher.
9.6 WEDDING WORKFLOW IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA BY LICENSEE. LICENSEE IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SUCH LOSS.
10. INDEMNIFICATION. Licensee shall indemnify and hold harmless Wedding Workflow, their officers, agents and employees from and against any claims, demands, or causes of action whatsoever, including without limitation those arising on account of Licensee's use of the Software or otherwise caused by, or arising out of, or resulting from, the exercise or practice of the license, granted hereunder, by Licensee or its officers, employees, agents or representatives.
12. DEFAULT AND TERMINATION.
12.1 Effective Date of Termination. Wedding Workflow may terminate this Agreement in the event of a material breach of this Agreement, upon providing written notice to Licensee. The termination shall be effective immediately upon such notice being given.
12.2 Obligations on Termination. Immediately after termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall cease and desist all use of the Software and Documentation and shall return to Wedding Workflow all full or partial copies of the Software and Documentation in Licensee's possession or under its control.
13. NOTICES. All notices, authorizations, and requests in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed given (i) five days after being deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, certified or registered, return receipt requested; or (ii) one day after being sent by overnight courier, charges prepaid, with a confirming fax; and addressed as first set forth above or to such other address as the party to receive the notice or request so designates by written notice to the other.
14. NONASSIGNABILITY. Licensee shall not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Wedding Workflow.
15. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION AND VENUE. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Arizona. The Arizona state courts of Maricopa County shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over any dispute arising out of this Agreement, and Licensee hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts.
16. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
17. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement and its exhibits contain the entire understanding and agreement between the parties respecting the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be supplemented, modified, amended, released or discharged except by an instrument in writing signed by each party's duly authorized representative. All captions and headings in this Agreement are for purposes of convenience only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any of its provisions.
