Notwithstanding the foregoing, BuiltAPI is permitted to disclose Confidential Information of Customer on a need-to-know basis to employees, contractors, and agents of its Affiliates. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. “Affiliate” means any corporation, partnership, joint venture, or other entity: (i) as to which a Party owns or controls, directly or indirectly, stock or other interest representing more than 50% of the aggregate stock, or other interest entitled to vote on general decisions reserved to the stockholders, partners, or other owners of such entity; (ii) if a partnership, as to which a Party or another Affiliate is a general partner; or (iii) that a Party otherwise is in common control with, controlled by, or controls in matters of management and operations.

8.1 Disclaimer of Indirect Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS, NEITHER PARTY WILL, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THESE TERMS, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY IS APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING.

9. General

9.1 Relationship. BuiltAPI will act as an independent contractor (and not as the agent or representative of Customer) in the performance of these Terms.

9.2 Use of Brand Name. BuiltAPI may use the name, brand, or logo of Customer (or Customer’s parent company) solely for the purpose of identifying Customer as a licensee or customer of BuiltAPI in a “customer” section of BuiltAPI’s website, brochures, or other promotional materials, or as part of a list of BuiltAPI’s customers in a press release or other public relations materials. BuiltAPI will cease any use of Customer’s name if such use violates any of Customer’s written guidelines. Any such limited use by BuiltAPI shall include proper attribution to Customer or its parent company of any trademark or logo of Customer or its parent company and shall in no way suggest that BuiltAPI is affiliated with, or speaking on behalf of, Customer or Customer’s parent company. Any other press releases or marketing materials referring to the trademarks or logos of Customer shall require mutual approval in writing prior to public dissemination thereof. If BuiltAPI, in the course of exercising its rights hereunder, acquires any goodwill or reputation in any of the Customer’s trademarks or logos, all such goodwill or reputation will automatically vest in Customer.

9.3 Assignability. Neither Party may assign its right, duties, or obligations under these Terms without the other Party’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that BuiltAPI may assign these Terms to an Affiliate or a successor (including a successor by way of Change of Control or operation of law), or in connection with the sale of all of the assets or business to which these Terms relates. A Change of Control shall be deemed to cause an assignment of these Terms. “Change of Control” means a merger, acquisition, divestiture, sale of assets or equity, or similar transaction.

9.4 Export. Customer will comply with all applicable export and import laws, rules, and regulations in connection with Customer’s activities under these Terms.

The Service, including technical data, is subject to German export control laws, and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries.

9.5 Subcontractors. BuiltAPI may utilize subcontractors or other third parties to perform its duties under these Terms so long as BuiltAPI remains responsible for all of its obligations under these Terms.

9.8 Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable for or be considered to be in breach of or default under these Terms (except for failure to make payments when due) on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by these Terms as a result of any cause or condition beyond its reasonable control, so long as that Party uses all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove the causes of non-performance.

9.9 Governing Law. These Terms will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the laws of Germany. Each Party hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the German courts in connection with any action arising out of or in connection with these Terms.

9.10 Waiver. The waiver by either Party of any breach of any provision of these Terms does not waive any other breach. The failure of any Party to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with these Terms will not be a waiver of such Party’s right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a novation of these Terms.

9.11 Severability. If any part of these Terms is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the remaining portions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. If any material limitation or restriction on the use of the Service under these Terms is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, Customer’s right to use the Service will immediately terminate.

9.12 Interpretation. For purposes of these Terms, (a)the words “include,” “includes” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation;”; (b) the words “such as,” “for example,” “e.g.” and any derivatives of those words will mean by way of example and the items that follow these words will not be deemed an exhaustive list; (c) the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense of “and/or” and the terms “or,” “any,” and “either” are not exclusive; (d) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto,” and “hereunder” refer to these Terms as a whole; (e) words denoting the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice-versa.

References to “€” and “euros” are to the currency of the Eurozone countries of the European Union. Any law defined or referred to herein means such law as from time to time amended, modified, or supplemented, including (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor laws.

9.13 Entire Agreement. These Terms, including all exhibits and addenda, is the final and complete expression of the agreement between these Parties regarding the subject matter hereof. These Terms supersedes, and the terms of these Terms govern, all previous oral and written communications regarding these matters, all of which are merged into these Terms and the BuiltAPI Individual Terms of Use will be of no effect with respect to the products or services described in an applicable Order, except that these Terms do not supersede any prior nondisclosure or comparable agreement between the Parties executed prior to these Terms being executed, nor does it affect the validity of any agreements between the Parties relating to other products or services of BuiltAPI that are not described in an Order and with respect to which Customer has executed a separate agreement with BuiltAPI that remains in effect. No employee, agent, or other representative of BuiltAPI has any authority to bind BuiltAPI with respect to any statement, representation, warranty, or other expression unless the same is specifically set forth in these Terms. No usage of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing between the Parties will be used to modify, interpret, supplement, or alter the terms of these Terms. These Terms may be changed by BuiltAPI at any time. Revisions will be effective immediately except that material revisions will be effective 30 days after posting or notice to you of the revisions unless otherwise stated.. BuiltAPI will not be bound by, and specifically objects to, any term, condition, or other provision that is different from or in addition to these Terms (whether or not it would materially alter these Terms) that is proffered by Customer in any receipt, acceptance, confirmation, correspondence, or otherwise, unless BuiltAPI specifically provides a written acceptance of such provision signed by an authorized agent of BuiltAPI. Any Order signed by the parties under these Terms may be executed in any number of counterparts and via .pdf copies, each with the same effect as if all signatories had signed the same document. If so executed, the counterparts shall be deemed an original for all purposes and shall collectively constitute one agreement. For convenience, the signature pages of each counterpart may be removed from that counterpart and attached to a single agreement. These Terms have been negotiated at arm’s length between the Parties, both of which are sophisticated and knowledgeable in the matters which are encompassed in these Terms. In addition, each Party has been represented by experienced and knowledgeable counsel. Accordingly, any rule of law or legal decision that would require the interpretation of ambiguities in these Terms against the drafting party are not applicable and are hereby waived.
