  13. LIMITED WARRANTIES. The warranties in this Section ‎13 do not apply during the Trial Period. The Company represents and warrants that, under normal authorized use, the Software shall substantially perform in conformance with its Documentation. As the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the Company’s sole liability for breach of this warranty, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to repair the Software in accordance with the SLA. The warranty set forth shall not apply if the failure of the Software results from or is otherwise attributable to: (i) repair, maintenance or modification of the Software by persons other than the Company or its authorized contractors; (ii) accident, negligence, abuse or misuse of the Software; (iii) use of the Software other than in accordance with the Software’s Documentation; (iv) Customer’s failure to implement software updates provided by the Company specifically to avoid such failure; (v) the combination of the Software with equipment or software not authorized or provided by the Company.

THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT: (i) THE SOFTWARE, THE AND/OR THE SERVICES (INCLUDING ANY RESULTS THEREOF) WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS, OR (ii) THE SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE ERROR-FREE. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION ‎8 AND THIS SECTION ‎13, THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NON- INFRINGEMENT, NON-INTERFERENCE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
  14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF EITHER PARTY’S CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREIN, AND/OR CUSTOMER’S MISAPPROPRIATION OR OTHERWISE VIOLATION OF COMPANY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (INCLUDING MISUSE OF THE LICENSE BY CUSTOMER PURSUANT TO SECTION 1); NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF REVENUE, REPUTATION, OR PROFITS, DATA, OR DATA USE.
    EXCEPT FOR THE COMPANY INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION UNDER SECTION ‎‎15, ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF EITHER PARTY’S CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREIN, AND/OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM CUSTOMER’S MISAPPROPRIATION OR OTHERWISE VIOLATION OF COMPANY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (INCLUDING MISUSE OF THE LICENSE BY CUSTOMER PURSUANT TO SECTION 1); EITHER PARTY’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE, THE TOTAL AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID TO COMPANY BY CUSTOMER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH CLAIM. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS CUMULATIVE AND NOT PER INCIDENT. FOR CLARITY, THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION DO NOT APPLY TO PAYMENTS DUE TO COMPANY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE ORDER).
  15. Indemnification. Company agrees to defend, at its expense, any third party action or suit brought against the Customer alleging that the Software, when used as permitted under this Agreement and the Order, infringes intellectual property rights of a third party (“IP Infringement Claim”); and the Company will pay any damages awarded in a final judgment against the Customer that are attributable to any such claim, provided that (i) the Customer promptly notifies the Company in writing of such claim; and (ii) the Customer grants the Company the sole authority to handle the defense or settlement of any such claim and provides the Company with all reasonable information and assistance, at Company’s expense. The Company will not be bound by any settlement that the Customer enters into without the Company’s prior written consent.
    If the Software becomes, or in the Company’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of an IP Infringement Claim, then the Company may, at its sole discretion: (a) procure for the Customer the right to continue using the Software; (b) replace or modify the Software to avoid the IP Infringement Claim; or (c) if options (a) and (b) cannot be accomplished despite the Company’s reasonable efforts, then the Company may terminate this Agreement and if purchased directly from the Company. Company shall also provide a refund for any amount pre-paid by Customer for such returned Software for the remaining unused period of the license.
    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no responsibility for IP Infringement Claims resulting from or based on: (i) modifications to the Software made by a party other than the Company or its designee; (ii) the Customer’s failure to implement software updates provided by the Company specifically to avoid infringement; or (iii) combination or use of the Software with equipment, devices or software not supplied by the Company or not in accordance with the Documentation.
    This Section states Company’s entire liability, and Customer’s exclusive remedy, for claims or alleged or actual infringement.
  16. Term and Termination. This Agreement shall enter into force and effect on the Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect for a period of one (1) year unless earlier terminated as set forth herein (the “Initial Term”). Following such Initial Term, the Agreement shall be automatically renewed at the then-applicable subscription fees for successive one (1) year terms unless terminated earlier as set forth herein and/or either Party provides the other Party with at least a sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of non-renewal (each a “Renewal Term” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term“). In case Customer was granted with a right to use the Software during the Trial Period according to Section ‎‎3, this Agreement shall enter into force and effect on the Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect for the Trial Period (as may be extended solely by Company’s explicit prior written approval). Following the Trial Period this Agreement shall be automatically renewed for the applicable Initial Term specified in the Order unless Customer provides Company with at least ten (10) days prior written notice of non-renewal of the Agreement. Either Party may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement and such breach remains uncured fifteen (15) days after having received written notice thereof. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement: (i) Software license granted to Customer under this Agreement shall expire, and Customer shall discontinue any further use and access thereof; (ii) Customer shall immediately delete and dispose of all copies of the Documentation in Customer’s or any of its representatives’ possession or control; (iii) Company may delete all Customer Data without affecting any of the Company’s rights to the Analytics Information; and (iv) in case purchased directly from Company, any sums paid by Customer until the date of termination are non-refundable. The provisions of this Agreement that, by their nature and content, must survive the termination of this Agreement in order to achieve the fundamental purposes of this Agreement shall so survive. The termination of this Agreement shall not limit Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it under applicable law. If applicable, Customer shall be responsible to download its Customer Data prior to termination of this Agreement.
  17. Miscellaneous. This Agreement, including the DPA, any Order(s) and any exhibits attached or referred hereto, represents the complete agreement concerning the subject matter hereof and may be amended only by a written agreement executed by both Parties. Any terms and conditions printed, or linked to, within any Customer’s purchase order which are in addition to and/or inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall be of no effect. The failure of either Party to enforce any rights granted hereunder or to take action against the other Party in the event of any breach hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver by that Party as to subsequent enforcement of rights or subsequent actions in the event of future breaches. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. Any use of the Software by an agency, department, or other entity of the United States government shall be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement. Neither Party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by either Party in connection with a merger, consolidation, sale of all of the equity interests of the Party, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Party to which this Agreement relates. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Israel, without reference to principles and laws relating to the conflict of laws. The competent courts of the city of Tel Aviv-Jaffa shall have the exclusive jurisdiction with respect to any dispute and action arising under or in relation to this Agreement. This Agreement does not, and shall not be construed to create any relationship, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, agency, or franchisor-franchisee relationship between the Parties. The Company will not be liable for any delay or failure to provide the Services resulting from circumstances or causes beyond the reasonable control of the Company including, but not limited to on account of strikes, shortages, riots, insurrection, fires, flood, storms, explosions, acts of God, war, government or quasi-governmental authorities actions, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, power outages, pandemic or epidemic (or similar regional health crisis), or any other cause that is beyond the reasonable control of the Company.
