2. SERVICES
2.1 Services. Licensor shall provide the Customer with the specific Services specified on an Order Form. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in an Order Form and this Agreement, the terms set forth in this Agreement will control, unless an Order Form makes specific reference to the section of this Agreement that is to be amended in the Order Form. The Customer agrees that purchases hereunder are neither contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features nor dependent on any oral or written comments made by Licensor regarding future functionality or features.
2.2 License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in consideration for the payment of fees set forth on the applicable Order Form, Licensor hereby grants to the Customer, solely during the term of the applicable Order Form, a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 10.2) license to access and use the Subscription Service solely for the Customer’s internal business purposes. This license is restricted to use by Customer and its Users and does not include the right to use the Subscription Service on behalf of any third party. The Customer is responsible for procuring and maintaining the network connections that connect the Customer to the Subscription Service. Subject to the terms of Section 8.3, the Customer agrees: (a) that only authorized Users are permitted to use the Subscription Service; (b) that it is responsible for authorized Users’ actions or failures to act in connection with activities contemplated under this Agreement and (c) to otherwise take all commercially reasonable steps to protect the Subscription Service and the Documentation from unauthorized use and/or access.
2.3 Licensed Volume. The Customer acknowledges that access and use of the Subscription Service is licensed to the Customer for use up to the number of Users and on the license type as set forth on the applicable Order Form (the “Volume Limitations”). In the event that the Subscription Service is used in excess of the Volume Limitations then the Customer shall be obligated to pay Licensor for such excess at Licensor’s then current rates. For the avoidance of doubt, licenses are granted on an authorized User basis and may be reassigned between uniquely identified individual Users over time, but may not be reassigned so frequently as to enable the sharing of a single license between multiple Users and the total number of Users who can use the Subscription Service must not exceed the number of licenses purchased, except where Customer has accepted a modified Order Form for additional licenses.
2.4 Affiliates. Subject to the terms of the Order Form, the Customer may make the Subscription Service available to its Affiliates provided that all licensing restrictions are complied with in each instance by each such Affiliate and that the Customer shall be liable for any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by any of its Affiliates. Any license restrictions set forth on an Order Form shall be deemed to apply to both the Customer and its Affiliates. By way of example, if an Order Form limits use of the Subscription Service to twenty (20) Users, then the use by the Customer and its Affiliates, when aggregated together, shall not exceed a total of twenty (20) Users.
2.5 Technical Support. As part of the Subscription Service, Licensor shall provide technical support services to Customer in accordance with the additional terms on Appendix A attached hereto.
2.6 Professional Services. Customer may purchase Professional Services as described in applicable Order Form and/or Statement of Work in accordance with the Wiiisdom Professional Services Terms attached as Appendix B.
2.7 Open Source Software. A list of open-source software made available under the Subscription Service may be provided by Licensor upon written request. Open-source software is licensed to Customer under its own license terms and those terms apply to the use of the Open-Source Software. In the event of a conflict, the open-source software license terms supersede these Terms and Conditions solely with respect to that open-source software.
2.8 Beta Services. Certain functionalities of the Subscription Service may be provided under a beta form (“Beta Subscription”). Under such Beta Subscription, Customer may only operate the functionalities designated as “Beta” in the Documentation for internal testing and evaluation purposes only and not for business purposes. Customer understands that the Beta functionalities provided under a Beta Subscription have been limited in some way through restricted use. With respect to such Beta Subscription, the Beta functionalities are provided “AS IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS”, without any support, maintenance or warranty from or liability for WIIISDOM. Customer’s use of the Beta or Preview functionalities is at Customer’s sole risk. It shall use caution and not rely in any way on the correct operation or performance of the Beta functionalities. Licensor may delete or modify a Beta or Preview functionality or terminate a Beta License at any time for convenience without notice to Customer. If Customer provides feedback to Licensor, Customer agrees that Licensor may use such feedback and incorporate the feedback into its products without restriction, compensation or other obligation to Customer.
3. FEES; PAYMENT TERMS
3.1 Fees. The Customer agrees to pay Licensor for Services provided and expenses incurred on the basis and at the rates specified in the Order Form. Unless otherwise set forth on the Order Form fees are paid annually in advance and payment shall be due within thirty (30) days after receipt of Licensor’s invoice and shall be made in the currency specified in the Order Form. The Customer agrees to pay a late charge of one and half percent (1 1/2%) per month (or part of a month), or the maximum lawful rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, for all amounts, not subject to a good faith dispute, and not paid when due. In addition to paying the applicable fees, Customer shall also pay all pre-approved reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Licensor in connection with any Services rendered. For purchases made by Customer from an Authorized Reseller, Customer agrees to pay the Authorized Reseller the fees as agreed to with the Authorized Reseller in accordance with any payment terms agreed to by Customer and such Authorized Reseller.
After the first year of the Term, Licensor may increase subscription fees no more than once per year in accordance with the annual percent change of the Customer Price Index (“CPI”) applicable in the Customer’s country compared to such CPI one year prior.
In the event any such price index is negative, the Licensor’s subscription fees will not be reduced.
3.2 Disputed Charges. If the Customer disputes any charge or amount on any invoice and such dispute cannot be resolved promptly through good faith discussions between the Parties, the Customer shall pay the amounts due under this Agreement less the disputed amount, and the Parties shall proceed in good faith to promptly resolve such disputed amount. An amount will be considered disputed in good faith if (i) the Customer delivers a written statement to Licensor on or before the due date of the invoice, describing in detail the basis of the dispute and the amount being withheld by the Customer, (ii) such written statement represents that the amount in dispute has been determined after due investigation of the facts and that such disputed amount has been determined in good faith, and (iii) all other amounts due from the Customer that are not in dispute have been paid as and when required under this Agreement.
3.3 Taxes. All payments, fees, and other charges payable by Customer to Licensor under this Agreement are exclusive of all sales, goods and services, value added, property, excise, or any other taxes, levies, and assessments of any jurisdiction. Customer shall bear all such taxes, levies, and assessments imposed on Customer or Licensor arising out of this Agreement, excluding any tax based on Licensor’s net income. If any deduction or withholding is required by law to be made by Customer, the amount of Fees shall be increased to the amount which, after making any deduction or withholding, leaves the amount equal to fees which would have been due if no deduction or withholding had been required. Prior to any deduction or withholding, Customer shall inform Licensor about the amount of such deduction or withholding and shall request from Company a tax residency certificate, or any other documents required by law, to claim an exemption from or reduction of any such deduction or withholding. Customer to whom the deduction or withholding applies, shall pay to the relevant taxation authority, or other authorities, as appropriate, the applicable amount of the deduction or withholding, and furnish to Licensor all documents confirming such deduction or withholding. These documents should include, to the extent existing, any evidence necessary to ensure utilization of tax credit by Licensor. Licensor will repay to Customer the portions of a gross-up amount which led to an effective tax saving because of tax credit available to Licensor.
4. CONFIDENTIALITY
4.1 Confidential Information. During the term of this Agreement, each Party will regard any information provided to it by the other Party and designated in writing as proprietary or confidential to be confidential (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall also include information which, to a reasonable person familiar with the disclosing Party’s business and the industry in which it operates, is of a confidential or proprietary nature. The receiving Party shall hold in confidence, and shall not disclose (or permit or suffer its personnel to disclose) any Confidential Information to any person or entity except to a director, officer, employee, outside consultant, or advisor (collectively “Representatives”) who have a need to know such Confidential Information in the course of the performance of their duties for the receiving Party and who are bound by a duty of confidentiality no less protective of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information than this Agreement. The receiving Party and its Representatives shall use such Confidential Information only for the purpose for which it was disclosed and shall not use or exploit such Confidential Information for its own benefit or the benefit of another without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party. Each Party accepts responsibility for the actions of its Representatives and shall protect the other Party’s Confidential Information in the same manner as it protects its own valuable confidential information, but in no event shall less than reasonable care be used. A receiving Party shall promptly notify the disclosing Party upon becoming aware of a breach or threatened breach hereunder, and shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the disclosing Party in enforcing its rights.
4.2 Exclusions. Information will not be deemed Confidential Information hereunder if such information: (i) is known prior to receipt from the disclosing Party, without any obligation of confidentiality; (ii) becomes known to the receiving Party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party; (iii) becomes publicly known or otherwise publicly available, except through a breach of this Agreement; or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party without use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as evidenced. The receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information pursuant to the requirements of applicable law, legal process or government regulation, provided that it gives the disclosing Party reasonable prior written notice to permit the disclosing Party to contest such disclosure, and such disclosure is otherwise limited to the required disclosure.
4.3 Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, both Parties acknowledge that any use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement may cause the disclosing Party irreparable and immediate damage for which remedies other than injunctive relief may be inadequate. Therefore, both Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedy to which the disclosing Party may be entitled hereunder, at law or equity, the disclosing Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) to restrain such use in addition to other appropriate remedies available under applicable law.
5. WARRANTIES
5.1 Subscription Service Warranty. Licensor warrants that during the term of the Order Form for the Subscription Service, the Subscription Service will conform, in all material respects, with the Documentation. Licensor does not warrant that it will be able to correct all reported defects or that use of the Subscription Service will be uninterrupted or error free. Licensor makes no warranty regarding features or services provided by third parties. For any breach of the above warranty, Licensor will, at no additional cost to Customer, provide remedial services necessary to enable the Subscription Service to conform to the warranty. The Customer will provide Licensor with a reasonable opportunity to remedy any breach and reasonable assistance in remedying any defects. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Licensor shall not have any obligation under this section to the extent a nonconformity of the Services are the result of (a) the Services having been modified, repaired, or reworked by any party other than Licensor or a third party on behalf of Licensor, (b) any use of the Services in conjunction with another product or service not recommended in the applicable Documentation, (c) any damage to the Services by power failure, fire, explosion, or any act of God or other cause beyond Licensor’s reasonable control, or (d) any use of or access to the Services not in conformance with the Documentation. Warranty is fully excluded in cases of evaluation, beta or free-of-charge (trial) use of the Services.
5.2 Data Security. Licensor agrees to use appropriate safeguards and comply with all applicable data protection laws in particular in compliance with the provisions of Appendix C, to prevent use or disclosure of the Customer Data other than as provided for by this Agreement. Nonetheless, Customer acknowledges that the Subscription Service is not designed to integrate critical or personal data. Licensor agrees to implement industry standard physical safeguards, technical safeguards and policy, procedure and documentation requirements that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the Customer Data.
5.3 No Other Warranty. LICENSOR DOES NOT REPRESENT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ALL ERRORS IN THE SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED OR THAT THE OVERALL SYSTEM THAT MAKES THE SERVICES AVAILABLE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE INTERNET, OTHER TRANSMISSION NETWORKS, AND CUSTOMER’S LOCAL NETWORK AND EQUIPMENT) WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. THE WARRANTIES STATED IN SECTION 5 ABOVE ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES OFFERED BY LICENSOR. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. CUSTOMER ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR DETERMINING WHETHER THE SERVICES ARE ACCURATE OR SUFFICIENT FOR CUSTOMER’S PURPOSES.
6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
6.1 Consequential Damage Exclusion. Neither Party will be liable to the other or any third party for loss of profits or for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or exemplary damages (including without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, loss of goodwill, business interruption, loss of business information and/or data) in connection with the performance of the Services, or the performance of any other obligations under this Agreement, even if it is aware of the possibility of the occurrence of such damages.
6.2 Limitation of Liability. The total cumulative liability of Licensor to Customer for any and all claims and damages under this Agreement, whether arising by statute, contract, tort or otherwise, will not exceed the Services fees paid by Customer to Licensor for the Services which form the subject of the claim during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. The provisions of this Agreement allocate risks between the Parties. The pricing set forth in each Order Form reflects this allocation of risk and the limitation of liability specified herein.
6.3 Exclusions. Nothing in this Agreement limits a Party’s liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, or gross negligence or willful misconduct, or Customer’s liability for breach of Services usage or Licensor’s intellectual property rights.
7. TERM
7.1 Term. This Agreement will continue in effect during the Term until otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 7.2 below. At the end of each Term, the Subscription Service will automatically renew for successive twelve (12) month periods (each a “Renewal Term”), unless either Party notifies the other Party in writing of its election not to renew the Subscription Service at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current Term. Licensor reserves the right to change the rates, applicable charges and usage policies and to introduce new charges, for such Order Form upon providing the Customer with written notice thereof (which notice may be provided by e-mail) at least 90 (ninety) days prior to the then current renewal date of the Order Form. Licensor reserves the right to modify this Agreement by posting a new Agreement online and notifying Customer of such new agreement provided that such new Agreement will only be applicable for any Order Form entered into after the date such new Agreement goes into effect.
7.2 Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may terminate this Agreement (i) immediately in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by the other Party that is not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice from the other Party, or (ii) immediately if the other Party ceases doing business or is the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing. All rights and obligations of the Parties which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination or expiration will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
7.3 Effect of Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, Licensor shall no longer provide the applicable Services to the Customer and the Customer shall promptly cease and cause its Users to promptly cease using the Services. Customer shall pay Licensor for all fees that had accrued prior to the termination date. Except as expressly provided herein, termination of this Agreement by either party will be a nonexclusive remedy for breach and will be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of such party. Upon termination of this Agreement, each party shall promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession. Within thirty (30) days following termination, the Customer may retrieve the Customer Data in accordance with established and reasonable system access procedures. After such period, Licensor will have no further obligation to store and/or make available the Customer Data and may delete the same.
8. OWNERSHIP; USE OF DATA; OBLIGATIONS
8.1 Services. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that as between Licensor and the Customer, all right, title and interest in and to the Services (excluding any Customer Data) and including all modifications and configurations, all Licensor Data, all Professional Services deliverables and all of Licensor’s proprietary technology, including, without limitation, all software, products, processes, algorithms, user interfaces, know-how, techniques, designs and other tangible or intangible technical material or information made available to the Customer by Licensor in providing the Subscription Service and all derivatives thereof are and shall remain Licensor’s or its licensors’. The Licensor name, all Licensor logos, and the product names associated with the Subscription Service are trademarks of Licensor or third parties, and no right or license is granted to use them. The Customer shall not remove any Licensor trademark or logo from the Services. During the term of this Agreement, Licensor grants to the Customer a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 10.2), royalty-free right to use the Licensor Data solely in connection with the Customer’s permitted use of the Services. Licensor shall have the right to collect, analyze, use and distribute aggregated information, analysis, statistics, related benchmarking algorithms and other data generated by the Services (or derived from the Customer’s use of the Services) provided, however, that Licensor shall not disclose any such data unless such data is in an aggregated, anonymized form that would not permit a third party to identify the data as associated with the Customer or any of its Users.
8.2 Customer Data. The Customer retains ownership of all right, title and interest in and to all Customer Data. During the term of this Agreement, the Customer hereby grants to Licensor a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 10.2), royalty-free right to use, display, transmit, and distribute the Customer Data solely as necessary to provide the Subscription Service to the Customer. Upon termination of the Subscription Service, Licensor shall make such Customer Data available to the Customer in a mutually agreed upon format. The Customer is solely responsible for all Customer Data, in particular the accuracy, integrity, quality or legality of collection or process of such Customer Data. Neither the Customer nor its Users shall use the Subscription Service to: (a) send, upload or otherwise transmit any Customer Data that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another’s privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable; (b) upload or otherwise transmit, display or distribute any Customer Data that infringes any trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary or intellectual property rights of any person; (c) upload or otherwise transmit any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment; (d) interfere with or disrupt the Subscription Service or networks connected to the Subscription Service; or (e) violate any applicable law or regulation.
8.3 Customer Obligations. The Customer is responsible for all activities conducted under its User logins and for its Users’ compliance with this Agreement. Unauthorized use, resale or commercial exploitation of the Services in any way is expressly prohibited. Without Licensor’s express prior written consent in each instance, the Customer shall not (and shall not allow any third party to): reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code form or structure of the Services or access the Services in order to build a competitive product or service or copy any ideas, features, functions or graphics of the Services. An exception is made to the prohibition to reverse engineering to the extent permitted by mandatory applicable law and where such action is required to obtain the information necessary to achieve the interoperability of the Services with any software for a use meeting the terms of its Documentation and its purpose. Such action may only be undertaken by Customer if such information is not readily available and if Licensor has received a written request to provide the information and has substantially failed to provide it within a reasonable period of time. Customer shall observe a strict obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information. Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, the Customer shall not copy, license, sell, transfer, make available, audit, benchmark, lease, time-share, distribute, or assign this license, the Services to any third-party. The Customer shall be liable for any breach of this Agreement by any of its Users. In addition to Licensor’s other remedies hereunder, Licensor reserves the right upon notice to the Customer to terminate any User’s right to access the Services if such User has violated any of the restrictions contained in this Agreement.
8.4 Services Evaluation. Licensor may process data collected via the Services for the purposes of maintaining and improving the Services and providing support related to the Subscription Service. Processing may include measuring and analyzing Customer usage of the Services, and conducting surveys related to the Services.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Licensor Indemnification. Subject to Section 9.3 below, Licensor will indemnify, defend and hold the Customer and its Affiliates harmless from and against any and all costs, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred arising out of or in connection with a claim, suit, action, or proceeding brought by any third party against the Customer or any of its Affiliates alleging that the use of the Services as permitted hereunder infringes any patent, copyright or trademark, or constitutes a misappropriation of a trade secret of a third party. Excluded from the above indemnification obligations are claims to the extent arising from (a) use of the Services in violation of this Agreement or applicable law, (b) use of the Services after Licensor notifies the Customer to discontinue use because of an infringement claim, (c) any claim relating to any third party products or services or Customer Data, (d) modifications to the Services made other than by Licensor (where the claim would not have arisen but for such modification), (e) the combination, operation, or use of the Services with software or equipment which was not provided by Licensor, to the extent that the Customer’s liability for such claim would have been avoided in the absence of such combination, operation, or use; or (f) compliance by Licensor with the Customer’s custom requirements or specifications if and to the extent such compliance with the Customer’s custom requirements or specifications resulted in the infringement. If the Services are held to infringe, Licensor will, at its own expense, in its sole discretion use commercially reasonable efforts either (a) to procure a license that will protect the Customer against such claim without cost to the Customer; (b) to replace the Services with non-infringing Services without loss of any material functionality or (c) if (a) and (b) are not commercially feasible, terminate the Agreement and refund to the Customer any prepaid unused fees paid to Licensor for the infringing Services. The rights and remedies granted the Customer under this Section 9.1 state Licensor’s entire liability, and the Customer’s exclusive remedy, with respect to any claim of infringement of the intellectual property rights of a third party, whether arising under statutory or common law or otherwise.
9.2 Customer Indemnification. Subject to Section 9.3 below, the Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold Licensor and its Affiliates harmless from and against any and all Losses resulting from a claim, suit, action, or proceeding brought by any third party against Licensor or any of its Affiliates that arises out of or results from a claim alleging that the Customer Data, or any use thereof, infringes the intellectual property rights or proprietary rights of others, or has caused harm to a third party.
9.3 Indemnification Procedure. The indemnified Party shall (i) promptly notify the indemnifying Party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying Party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby, and (ii) allow the indemnifying Party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement; provided that the indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim without the indemnified Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The indemnified Party shall also provide the indemnifying Party with reasonable cooperation and assistance in defending such claim (at the indemnifying Party’s cost).
10. GENERAL
10.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all appendices, SOWs and Order Forms, contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous proposals, understandings, representations, warranties, covenants, and any other communications (whether written or oral) between the Parties relating thereto and is binding upon the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns. Except as set forth in Section 7.1, only a written instrument that refers to this Agreement and that are duly signed by the authorized representatives of both Parties may amend this Agreement.

Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, Customer may not otherwise assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement either in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Licensor, and any attempted assignment or delegation without such consent will be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may assign this Agreement as part of a corporate reorganization, consolidation, merger, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. Licensor may use independent contractors or subcontractors to assist in the delivery of Services; provided, however, that Licensor shall remain liable for the actions or omissions of such independent contractors or subcontractors and for the payment of their compensation.

The parties agree that state and federal courts sitting in Delaware shall have venue and jurisdiction over the parties to implement judgment upon any arbitral award. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction in the same manner as any other judgment of said court. However, nothing contained herein shall in any way deprive either party of its right to obtain injunction or other equitable relief in such state or federal courts. If any action is brought by either party to this Agreement against the other party regarding the subject matter hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other relief granted, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation.
10.4 Disputes. Any disputes between the Parties arising out of this Agreement shall be resolved as follows: Members of the senior management of both Parties shall meet to attempt to resolve such disputes.

Within fifteen (15) days after such written notification, the Parties shall meet for one day with an impartial mediator. The costs and expenses of the mediator shall be shared equally by the Parties. If the dispute is not resolved by mediation or the Parties are unable to agree on a mediator, then such dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction competent for the Licensor’s head offices, and each party hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction thereof.
10.5 Headings. The headings to the sections of this Agreement are for ease of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
10.6 Relationship of the Parties. Licensor and the Customer are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as making them partners or creating the relationships of employer and employee, master and servant, or principal and agent between them, for any purpose whatsoever.
