13. Liability

13.1. No exclusion

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits either party’s liability to the other which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited including, without limitation, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or fraud.

13.2. Liability cap

Except for Excluded Claims, the sole liability of either party to the other (whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability in tort, by statute or otherwise) for any and all claims in any manner related to this Agreement will be payment of direct damages, not to exceed (in the aggregate) an amount equal to the total fees paid or payable for the Subscription Term during which the event giving rise to such claim arose, less any amounts paid in relation to previous claims made hereunder.

13.3. Excluded Claims

“Excluded Claims” means any claim arising (a) from Customer's breach of Section 2.7 (General Restrictions); (b) under Section 3.3 (Customer Obligations) or 3.4 (Indemnification by Customer); or (c) from a party's breach of its obligations in Section 15 (Confidential Information) (but excluding claims arising from operation or non-operation of any Service).

13.4. Excluded Losses

In no event shall either party be liable for (a) any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damage, loss or expenses; or (b) business interruption, lost business, lost profits or goodwill or reputation or lost savings (anticipated or otherwise) (in each case whether direct or indirect).

14. Indemnification

Inline Manual will defend Customer from and against any claim by a third party alleging that a Service when used as authorized under this Agreement infringes a UK copyright or trade secret and will indemnify and hold harmless Customer from and against any damages and costs finally awarded against Customer or agreed in settlement by Inline Manual (including reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from such claim, provided that Inline Manual will have received from Customer: (i) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for Inline Manual to respond without prejudice); (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defence and settlement (if applicable) of such claim; and (iii) all reasonable necessary cooperation of Customer. If Customer's use of a Service is (or in Inline Manual's opinion is likely to be) enjoined, if required by settlement or if Inline Manual determines such actions are reasonably necessary to avoid material liability, Inline Manual may, in its sole discretion: (a) substitute substantially functionally similar products or services; (b) procure for Customer the right to continue using such Service; or if (a) and (b) are not commercially reasonable, (c) terminate this Agreement and refund to Customer the fees paid by Customer for the portion of the Subscription Term that was paid by Customer but not rendered by Inline Manual. The foregoing indemnification obligation of Inline Manual will not apply: (1) if such Service is modified by any party other than Inline Manual, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such modification; (2) if such Service is combined with products or processes not provided by Inline Manual, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such combination; (3) to any unauthorized use of such Service; (4) to any action arising as a result of Customer Data or any third-party deliverables or components contained within such Service; (5) to the extent the alleged infringement is not caused by the particular technology or implementation of the Service but instead by features common to any similar product or service; or (6) if Customer settles or makes any admissions with respect to a claim without Inline Manual's prior written consent. This Section 14 sets forth inline manual's and its suppliers' sole liability and Customer's sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any claim of intellectual property infringement.

15. Confidential Information

Each party (as "Receiving Party") agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information it obtains from the disclosing party ("Disclosing Party") constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party ("Confidential Information"), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be confidential or proprietary due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Any Inline Manual Technology, performance information relating to any Service, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement will be deemed Confidential Information of Inline Manual without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will (1) hold in confidence and not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties and (2) not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than fulfilling its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors and other representatives having a legitimate need to know (including, for Inline Manual, the subcontractors referenced in Section 16.8 (Subcontractors)), provided that such representatives are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective of the Disclosing Party than this Section 15 and that the Receiving Party remains responsible for compliance by any such representative with the terms of this Section 15. The Receiving Party's confidentiality obligations will not apply to information that the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information. The Receiving Party may make disclosures to the extent required by law or court order, provided the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment. The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.

16. General Terms

16.1. Assignment

This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party's permitted successors and assigns. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the advance written consent of the other party, except that either party may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, reorganization, acquisition or other transfer of all or substantially all of such party's assets or voting securities. Any attempt to transfer or assign this Agreement except as expressly authorized under this Section 16.1 will be null and void.

(a) The parties will make good faith efforts to first resolve internally any dispute in connection with this Agreement. The party raising any dispute shall first serve written notification to the other party. Within thirty (30) days of the service of such notice one director or other senior representative of each party with authority to settle the dispute shall meet to seek to resolve the dispute.

The support and service level availability terms described in the Support Policy and the SLA may be updated from time to time upon reasonable notice to Customer to reflect process improvements or changing practices (but the modifications will not materially decrease Inline Manual's obligations as compared to those reflected in such terms as of the Effective Date).

16.7. Force Majeure

Neither party will be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (except for a failure to pay fees) if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events that occur after the signing of this Agreement and that are beyond the reasonable control of such party, such as a strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, failure or diminishment of power or telecommunications or data networks or services, or refusal of a license by a government agency.

If the user or licensee of the Services is an agency, department, or other entity of the United States Government, the use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer of the Services, or any related documentation of any kind, including technical data and manuals, is restricted by a license agreement or by the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 12.212 for civilian purposes and Defence Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 227.7202 for military purposes.
