“Confidential Information” means:
4.3 Exclusions from confidential information
Confidential Information does not include:
4.4 Acknowledgement of irreparable harm
The parties acknowledge that breach by a Recipient of one or more of their obligations under section 4.1 might cause the Discloser to suffer irreparable harm, namely harm for which damages would be an inadequate remedy. The parties further acknowledge that the Discloser might suffer irreparable harm due to delay if as a condition to obtaining an injunction, restraining order, or other equitable remedy with respect to such a breach the Discloser were required demonstrate that it would suffer irreparable harm. The parties therefore intend that if a Recipient breach one or more of their obligations under section 4.1, then for purposes of determining whether to grant an equitable remedy any court will assume that that breach would cause the Discloser irreparable harm.
Article 5 – Limitation Of Liability
5.1 Limitation on damages
Neither party will be liable for breach-of-contract damages that the breaching party could not reasonably have foreseen at the time of breach. The maximum amount of damages that Partner may recover from Envoy for Envoy’s breach of this agreement is three times the amount of fees paid by Envoy to Partner in the 12 months prior to the date the claim accrues. If Envoy has not paid any fees to Partner, then the maximum amount of damages that Partner may recover from Envoy for Envoy’s breach of this agreement is $1,000.
5.2 Disclaimer of consequential damages
Except for damages arising from a breach of Article 4 – Confidentiality, neither party will be liable to the other under this agreement for consequential or incidental damages.
Article 6 – Termination
6.1 Term
This agreement will continue until terminated.
6.2 Termination
This agreement will terminate at midnight at the end of the 30th day after the terminating party notifies the other party that it wants to terminate the agreement. A party may terminate this agreement for any reason.
Article 7 – Indemnification
7.1 Indemnification by Partner
During the Term of this agreement and for two years thereafter, with respect to any Proceeding brought by a Nonparty against one or more Envoy Indemnitees and that arises out of Partner’s violation of the restrictions listed in Section 2.3 of this agreement, Partner’s violation of the restrictions listed in Section 2.2 of the Partner Reseller Addendum (if applicable), or Partner’s violation of law (each, a “Nonparty Claim”), Partner shall indemnify those Envoy Indemnitees against all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of that Proceeding, except to the extent that Envoy negligently or intentionally caused those Indemnifiable Losses.
7.2 Indemnification by Envoy
During the Term of this agreement and for two years thereafter, with respect to any Proceeding brought by a Nonparty against one or more Partner Indemnitees and that arises out of a claim that the Services violate a Nonparty’s Intellectual Property Rights or Envoy’s violation of law (each also, a “Nonparty Claim”), Envoy shall indemnify those Partner Indemnitees against all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of that Proceeding, except to the extent that (i) Partner negligently or intentionally caused those Indemnifiable Losses.
7.3 Indemnification procedures
(a) To be entitled to indemnification under Sections 7.1 or 7.2, an Indemnitee subject to any Nonparty Claim must promptly (and in any event no later than 21 days after the Indemnitee first knew of that Nonparty Claim) notify the Indemnitor of that Nonparty Claim and deliver to the Indemnitor a copy of all legal pleadings with respect to the Nonparty Claim. If the Indemnitee fails to timely notify the Indemnitor of a Nonparty Claim, the Indemnitor will be relieved of its indemnification obligations with respect to that Nonparty Claim to the extent that the Indemnitor was prejudiced by that failure and the Indemnitor will not be required to reimburse the Indemnitee for any Litigation Expenses the Indemnitee incurred during the period in which the Indemnitee failed to notify the Indemnitor.
(b) If the Indemnitor does not respond within ten days to a notice submitted by an Indemnitee under paragraph (a) of this section, the Indemnitor will be deemed not to dispute the Nonparty Claim referred to in that notice.
(c) To assume the defense of a Nonparty Claim, the Indemnitor must notify the Indemnitee that it is doing so. Promptly thereafter, the Indemnitor shall retain to represent it in the Nonparty Claim independent legal counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee.
(d) An Indemnitee may participate in the defense of a Nonparty Claim. An Indemnitee may defend a Nonparty Claim with counsel of its own choosing and without the Indemnitor participating if (1) the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee that it does not wish to defend the Nonparty Claim, (2) by midnight at the end of the tenth day after the Indemnitee notifies the Indemnitor of the Nonparty Claim the Indemnitor fails to notify the Indemnitee that it wishes to defend the Nonparty Claim, or (3) representation of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee by the same counsel would, in the opinion of that counsel, constitute a conflict of interest.
(e) The Indemnitor shall pay any Litigation Expenses that an Indemnitee incurs in connection with defense of the Nonparty Claim before the Indemnitor assumes the defense of that Nonparty Claim, except with respect to any period during which the Indemnitee fails to timely notify the Indemnitor of that Nonparty Claim. The Indemnitor will not be liable for any Litigation Expenses that an Indemnitee incurs in connection with defense of a Nonparty Claim after the Indemnitor assumes the defense of that Nonparty Claim, other than Litigation Expenses that the Indemnitee incurs in employing counsel in accordance with paragraph (d) of this section, which Litigation Expenses the Indemnitor shall pay promptly as they are incurred.
(f) After the Indemnitor assumes the defense of a Nonparty Claim, the Indemnitor may contest, pay, or settle the Nonparty Claim without the consent of the Indemnitee only if that settlement (1) does not entail any admission on the part of the Indemnitee that it violated any law or infringed the rights of any Person, (2) has no effect on any other claim against the Indemnitee, (3) provides as the claimant’s sole relief monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnitor, and (4) requires that the claimant release the Indemnitee from all liability alleged in the Nonparty Claim
