7. Intellectual Property Indemnity.
For Customers who have paid Caringo for Software, without modifying Section 6, Caringo will defend any action against Customer claiming that the Software constitutes direct infringement of a duly issued United States patent issued prior to the Effective Date or United States copyright. Caringo shall indemnify Customer for any loss, cost, damage, or expense finally awarded against Customer by a court of competent jurisdiction as a proximate result of such infringement. Caringo’s obligations under this section are expressly conditioned upon Caringo having sole control of any such action, and upon Customer notifying Caringo immediately in writing of the claim and giving authority, information, and assistance necessary to settle and/or defend such claim. If the use of the Software infringes or is enjoined, or Caringo believes that the Software is likely to infringe or be enjoined, Caringo may, at its sole option, (i) procure for Customer the right to continue use of the licensed Software as furnished, (ii) replace the licensed Software, (iii) modify the licensed Software to make it non-infringing, or (iv) terminate the license and refund the license fee for the Software, less a proportional adjustment for the time the Software was used by Customer, equal to the ratio of the time elapsed since the delivery date to five (5) years. The indemnity provided herein shall not apply if the alleged infringement arises from: (a) the use of other than a currently supported, unaltered release of the licensed Software; (b) the use of Software that has been modified or merged with any other program(s) by Customer; or (c) the use of the licensed Software in combination with software or hardware not specifically permitted under this Agreement. The foregoing states Caringo's entire liability for patent, copyright, or other proprietary rights infringement.

8. Confidentiality of Software and Documents.
A. Customer shall not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, lease, or otherwise disclose, transfer, or disseminate the Software, including operating instructions, user manuals, and training materials, in any medium except as authorized herein. Customer may make copies of the Software, in machine readable form, only as is reasonably necessary for archival and backup purposes. Any such authorized copy shall contain all Caringo's and any third party copyright/proprietary rights notices as specified in Section 4 above.

B. Customer agrees to using reasonable efforts not less than Customer exercises for its own confidential materials, to retain in confidence, and to require its employees (and any consultants who receive access) to retain the Software in confidence, and will make no use of such information solely except under the terms and during the existence of this Agreement, and then only to the extent that such use is necessary to Customer’s employees (or consultants) to perform their employment. The terms of this section shall not apply to information that (a) was known to Customer prior to its receipt from Caringo; (b) is or becomes public knowledge without fault of Customer; (c) is acquired by the Customer from a third party with good legal title thereto and without obligation of secrecy; or (d) has been approved for release by Caringo's written authorization.

C. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years. Notwithstanding the expiration of the obligation to exert the standard of care specified in this Agreement, Customer may not transfer Software or information licensed hereunder to a third party.

D. Customer shall not release the results of any benchmark of the Software, or of any third party products embedded in the Software, without prior, written (not email), express approval of a Caringo corporate officer.

9. Term/Termination.
This Agreement is effective on the earlier of (i) the date of shipment of the Software or (ii) the date the “I Accept” button is clicked during the registration process, and continues until terminated as provided herein, or by express written agreement of both parties. Caringo may terminate this Agreement, effective on sending notice via email, upon: (a) any material breach of this Agreement by Customer that is not cured within ten (10) days following written notice thereof; (b) Customer's insolvency, bankruptcy, suspension of business, assignment of assets for the benefit of creditors, voluntary dissolution, or appointment of a trustee for all or any substantial portion of Customer's assets; or (c) failure by Customer to pay license fees for Software under the payment terms specified in this Agreement or as stated on Caringo’s invoice for such Software. In the case of annual or other periodic fees, Customer may terminate its rights by electing not to pay such fees, in which case this Agreement terminates on the last day of the last period for which Customer had paid such fees. Upon termination, all licenses granted hereunder terminate and Customer will immediately destroy the Software (and confirm same via written, signed certification of a Customer officer) and all copies in any form.

10. General.
A. Waiver/Amendment. No waiver, amendment, or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver, amendment, or modification is sought to be enforced. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, except as specifically provided herein, shall be deemed as a waiver of any such right, power, or remedy.

B. Assignment. Either party may assign this Agreement to an entity acquiring substantially all of its assets or merges with it, provided that such assignee agrees in writing to assume all obligations under this Agreement. Except as set forth above, neither party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement to any third party without the express written consent of the other.
