6. Confidentiality
6.1 Definition. “Confidential Information,” as used herein, shall mean the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all information related to a party’s business, financial affairs or operations, including but not limited to information related to business plans, technology, technical screening processes, tools and workflows, source code, product or service features, development plans, pricing, techniques and methods, which is either marked as confidential or with a similar legend or, if disclosed orally, is confirmed as confidential in writing to the receiving party within thirty (30) days following disclosure.
6.2 Obligations. Each party agrees, during the Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, that it will (a) hold the other party’s Confidential Information in confidence using the same standard of care as it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care; (b) not disclose the Confidential Information of the other to any third party without the other’s prior written consent, except as expressly permitted under this Agreement; and (c) limit access to the other’s Confidential Information to those of its employees or agents having a need to know who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) either party may make disclosures as required or requested by a court of law or any governmental entity or agency, provided that such party provides the other with reasonable prior notice to enable such party to seek confidential treatment of such information; and (ii) either party may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement solely to potential investors, acquisition partners and its legal counsel and accountants in connection with a proposed financing or acquisition, provided that each such third party is bound by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those set forth herein.

The restrictions on the use and disclosure of Confidential Information shall not apply to any Confidential Information, or portion thereof, which (a) is or becomes publicly known through no act or omission of the receiving party; (b) is lawfully received by a receiving party from a third party without third party’s breach of any legal restriction on disclosure; (c) is already known by the receiving party at the time it is disclosed by the disclosing party, as shown by the receiving party’s written records; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the other’s Confidential Information, as shown by the receiving party’s written records.
6.4 Injunctive Relief. Each party acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 6 would cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching party, the extent of which would be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, each party agrees that, in addition to any other remedies to which a party may be legally entitled, the non-breaching party shall have the right to seek immediate injunctive or other equitable relief in the event of a breach of this Section 6 by the other party or any of its employees or agents.
6.5 Return of Confidential Information. Receiving Party shall promptly return or, at disclosing party’s option, certify destruction of all copies of Confidential Information at any time upon request or within thirty (30) days following the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

7.1 Mutual Indemnification. Each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other party and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from and against all third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses and costs, including attorney’s fees and court costs, arising out of the Indemnifying Party’s (i) gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) its material breach of any of the terms of this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party’s liability under this Section shall be reduced proportionally to the extent that any act or omission of the other party, or its employees or agents, contributed to such liability. The party seeking indemnification shall provide the Indemnifying Party with prompt written notice of any claim and give complete control of the defense and settlement of the Indemnifying Party, and shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, its insurance company and its legal counsel in its defense of such claim(s). This indemnity shall not cover any claim in which there is a failure to give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice to the extent such lack of notice prejudices the defense of the claim.

8. Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST DATA AND LOST PROFITS, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EACH PARTY’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY STATEMENT OF WORK, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID TO G2I UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE EVENTS GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. NO ACTION SHALL BE BROUGHT FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT MORE THAN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE ACCRUAL OF SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION, EXCEPT FOR MONEY DUE ON AN OPEN ACCOUNT.
9. Term and Termination
9.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for one (1) year unless terminated as set forth herein (the “Term”).

9.2 Termination. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Statement of Work, Company or G2i may terminate this Agreement or any Statement of Work then in effect at any time upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. Either party may terminate the Agreement and all Statements of Work immediately upon written notice in the event the other party is in material breach of any obligation under this Agreement or any Statement of Work, which breach is incapable of cure or which, being capable of cure, has not been cured within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of such default. In addition to the foregoing, G2i may also terminate this Agreement and all Statements of Work immediately upon written notice in the event (a) Company fails to pay any amounts payable hereunder within ten (10) days after receiving written notice from G2i that payment is due, or (b) Company breaches any provision in Section 3.3 (Ownership) or Section 6 (Confidentiality). The termination or expiration of a single Statement of Work shall not cause the automatic termination of any other active Statements of Work.
9.3 Effect of Termination. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, each party shall return the other’s Confidential Information in its possession or control. Expiration or termination for any reason shall not discharge either Party’s liability for obligations incurred hereunder as of the date of such expiration or termination and amounts unpaid at the time of expiration or termination, or coming due pursuant to the terms of the Statement of Work following the date of expiration or termination will remain due and owing regardless of any expiration or termination. The following provisions survive termination or expiration of this Agreement: Sections 5 (Fees and Payment), 4 (Ownership; License), 6 (Confidentiality), 7 (Indemnification), 8 (Limitation of Liability), 9.3 (Effect of Termination), and 10 (General) will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason. Upon the termination of this Agreement, G2i will provide reasonable assistance to Company for the transition of Services and Deliverables in accordance with Company’s reasonable requirements.
