Upon learning of any unauthorized use or disclosure of a disclosing party’s Confidential Information, the other party shall immediately notify the disclosing party and reasonably assist the other party in remediating or mitigating any potential damage.

- Planview shall use commercially reasonable efforts to correct errors (a material failure of the Application to function in accordance with its documentation) or provide a reasonable workaround.

- THE PLANVIEW APPLICATION, ACCESS THERETO, AND ANY SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, AND PLANVIEW AND ITS AFFILIATES AND AGENTS: (A) DO NOT MAKE, AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM, ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE; (B) DO NOT WARRANT THAT ACCESS TO THE PLANVIEW APPLICATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, OR OTHER MATERIAL ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THE PLANVIEW APPLICATION IS FREE OF VIRUSES (ALTHOUGH PLANVIEW REPRESENTS THAT IT WILL USE COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS TO AVOID VIRUSES) OR OTHER HARMFUL CONTENTS OR COMPONENTS; (C) SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE TO CLIENT OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY INACCURACY, ERROR OR OMISSION IN, OR LOSS, INJURY OR DAMAGE (INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA) CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY, OR FAILURES, DELAYS OR INTERRUPTIONS OF THE PLANVIEW APPLICATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, PLANVIEW’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
- Exclusion of Consequential Damages.
- Except for breaches of Sections 3 or 4, in no event shall Client, Planview, or Planview’s suppliers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, data or use, incurred by either party or any third party, whether in an action in contract or tort, even if the other party has been advised of the possibility of such damages, provided however, the foregoing shall not be construed to limit either party’s obligations as set forth in Section 8; provided further however, that in the event Client gives access to the Application to non-authorized Users, Planview shall be entitled to recover the full amount of any license fees that would relate to such Users.
- Limitation of Direct Damages.
- Except for its obligations to indemnify Client under Section 8, or for any breach of its nondisclosure obligations (Section 4), the aggregate and cumulative liability of Planview and its suppliers for damages hereunder shall in no event exceed the amount of fees paid by Client for the previous twelve (12) months under this Agreement. Except for its obligations to indemnify Planview under Section 8, or any breach of its obligations to comply with the License grant (Section 3.1), the Restrictions on Use (Section 3.4), its payment obligations (Section 9), and its non-disclosure obligations (Section 4), Client’s aggregate and cumulative liability for damages hereunder shall in no event exceed the amount of fees paid by Client under this Agreement. Except for actions for non-payment or breach of confidentiality or intellectual property rights, no action (regardless of form) arising out of this Agreement may be commenced by either party more than one (1) year after the cause of action has accrued.
INDEMNIFICATION
- General Indemnity.
- Each party (“Indemnitor”) shall defend and indemnify the other party, its employees, officers, directors and agents (“Indemnitee”) against all damages for bodily injury, death, or damage to real or tangible personal property, proximately caused by the Indemnitor in the course of performing this Agreement, provided that: (i) the Indemnitor receives prompt written notice of the claim from the Indemnitee under this Section; (ii) the Indemnitor has the right to control the defense of such claim and any related settlement negotiations, and; (iii) the Indemnitee provides to the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitor’s request and expense, with the assistance, information and authority necessary to perform the Indemnitor’s obligations under this Section.
- Intellectual Property Indemnity.
- If a third party makes a claim against Client that the Application directly infringes any patent, copyright, or trademark or misappropriates any trade secret (“IP Claim”); Planview will: (i) defend Client against the IP Claim at Planview’s cost and expense, and (ii) pay all costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) finally awarded against Client by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in a written settlement agreement signed by Planview arising out of such IP Claim; provided that: (i) Client promptly notifies Planview in writing no later than thirty (30) days after Client’s receipt of notification of a potential claim; (ii) Planview may assume sole control of the defense of such claim and all related settlement negotiations; (iii) Client provides Planview, at Planview’s request and expense, with the assistance, information and authority necessary to perform Planview’s obligations under this Section; and (iv) Client has not compromised or settled the IP Claim without Planview’s prior written consent.
- Intellectual Property Indemnity. (continued)
- Notwithstanding the foregoing, Planview shall have no liability for any claim of infringement based on: (i) the use of a superseded or altered release of the Application if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the Application; (ii) the modification of the Application; (iii) the use of the Application with third party software or hardware not provided by Planview; (iv) use of the Application other than in accordance with the documentation and this Agreement; or, (v) any materials or information provided to Planview by Client and Client Data, for which Client shall be solely responsible. If the Application is held to infringe or is believed by Planview to infringe, Planview shall have the option, at its expense, to either replace or modify the Application to be non-infringing, or to obtain for Client a license to continue using the Application. If it is not commercially reasonable to perform either of the foregoing options, then Planview may terminate the Application license and refund the prepaid, unused User Fees paid for the Application. This Section states Planview’s entire liability and Client’s exclusive remedy for any claim of infringement.
- FEES AND PAYMENTS.

Late fees shall accrue on all delinquent payments at the lesser of (i) 1.5% per month, or (ii) the maximum rate allowed under law.

- Planview personnel physically located at Client’s facilities, (“On-Site”), shall comply with all reasonable work place standards and policies of which Client notifies Planview in writing.

- TERMINATION; RENEWAL.
- This Agreement shall continue to be in force until terminated by either party in accordance with this Section 11.
- Termination for Breach.
- If either party materially breaches this Agreement or an Order Form and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice is given to the breaching party, then the other party may, by giving written notice to the breaching party, terminate the applicable Order Form as of the end of such thirty (30) day period or such later date as is specified in such notice of termination. Planview may terminate this Agreement for cause if Client becomes the subject of a petition of bankruptcy or other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation, or assignment for the benefit of creditors.
- Automatic Renewal.
- Following the end of the Term set forth in an Order Form, unless Client has given Planview notice of its desire not to renew sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current Term, a new Term will automatically renew for the same length of time as the original Term (“Renewal Term”).
