4.2. Confidentiality
4.2.1. Definition of Confidential Information.
“Confidential Information” means all confidential and proprietary information disclosed by one party (the “Discloser”) to the other (the “Receiver”) and either designated as confidential or of a type reasonably expected to be confidential. Confidential Information includes the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including pricing and other terms reflected in all Subscription Agreements hereunder), the Customer Data, the Software, business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product designs, and business processes, but does not include any information that, without breach of obligation owed to Discloser: (a) is or becomes generally known to the public; (b) was known to the Receiver prior to its disclosure by the Discloser; (c) was independently developed by the Receiver; or (d) is received from a third party.

The Receiver will protect the Confidential Information of the Discloser as if it were the Receiver's own Confidential Information, and at a minimum, with reasonable care. This obligation will survive termination of this Agreement for a period of 3 years.
4.2.3. Compelled Disclosure. If by court order or other legal authority the Receiver is forced to disclose Confidential Information of the Discloser, the Receiver will (to the extent legally permitted) give the Discloser prompt notice of the order and will provide, at the Discloser's request and cost, reasonable assistance to contest the disclosure.
4.2.4. Remedies. If the Receiver discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the Discloser in breach of this Section, the Discloser will have the right, in addition to any other available remedies, to seek injunctive relief to prevent further (or the threatened) disclosure.
4.3. Indemnities.
4.3.1. Our Indemnification of You. Subject to the conditions described below and the provisions of Section 4.6, We will defend, indemnify and hold You harmless from and against any loss, damage or costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with claims, demands, suits, or proceedings (collectively called “Claims”) made or brought against You by a third party, as follows:
a. For Personal Injury or Property Damage. Our indemnity covers Claims alleging personal injury or property damage to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or negligence of Our personnel while on Your premises.
b. For Infringement: Our indemnity covers Claims alleging that the use of the Classbloom Software as specified in this Agreement, or Our Professional Services, or any information, design, specification, instruction, software, data, material (collectively called “Material”) furnished by Us in connection with this Agreement infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party. This indemnification does not apply to Hardware, which We resell subject to whatever warranties and indemnities are provided by the manufacturer. We will have no liability for any claim of infringement or misappropriation to the extent (a) the Material is based on specifications You provided, or (b) Your use of a superseded or altered version of some or all of the Material if infringement or misappropriation would have been avoided by the use of a subsequent or unaltered release of the Material provided to You. If the Classbloom Software becomes, or in Our opinion is likely to become, the subject of an infringement claim, We may, at Our option and expense, either procure for You the right to continue using the Classbloom Software; replace or modify the Classbloom Software so that it becomes non-infringing and remains functionally equivalent; or require the return of the affected Classbloom Software and refund You the portion of Your purchase price attributable to the returned product.
4.3.2. Your Indemnification of Us. Subject to the conditions described below and Section 4.6, and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, You will defend, indemnify and hold Us harmless from and against any loss, damage or costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with Claims made or brought against Us by a third party alleging that the Customer Data, Your use of the Software in violation of this Agreement, or any Material provided by You either: (a) infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party, or (b) has otherwise harmed a third party.
4.3.3. Conditions. These indemnities will be conditioned on the party seeking indemnity: (a) promptly providing the other with a written notice of the Claim; (b) giving the other party sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim, provided that the other party may not settle any Claim unless the party seeking indemnity is unconditionally released from liability; and (c) at no charge, providing the other party with all reasonable assistance relative to the defense of the Claim.
4.3.4. Exclusive Remedies. Our and Your responsibility for infringement of third party rights is stated in this Section 4.3. The indemnities in this Section will be the sole and exclusive remedies for infringement of third party rights in connection with this Agreement.
4.4. Care of Customer Data. We will make regular backups (typically daily) of data entered using our hosting services and will otherwise use reasonable commercial care, consistent with general industry practice, to protect such data against loss, but We will not otherwise be responsible for lost Customer Data. You will be responsible for the maintenance of Customer Data held in our application and for replacing it if it is lost for any reason.
4.5. Force Majeure. The term “Force Majeure” means circumstances beyond the reasonable control of a party (such as acts of God, government restrictions, wars, insurrections, labor strife, or failure of suppliers, subcontractors, or carriers) which delay or prevent the party from performing under the terms of this Agreement. The party affected by an event of Force Majeure will promptly notify the other of the circumstances and the expected impact on its performance. Affected performance obligations will be suspended during the duration of the Force Majeure. If the Force Majeure persists for more than 90 days, the other party may terminate the affected portions of this Agreement.

BECAUSE SOME STATES AND JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
4.6.3. Exclusion of Consequential and Related Damages. EXCEPT FOR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES HOWEVER CAUSED AND, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER OR NOT THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
