Section 6 – Confidentiality.
6.1 Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all non-public, proprietary, business, technical, legal, or financial information disclosed or learned in connection with this Agreement that the Disclosing Party has identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or that, based on the nature of the information or circumstances surrounding its disclosure, the Receiving Party would clearly understand it as confidential. Confidential Information includes Condado Properties with regard to Condado and Customer Content with regard to Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing definition, Confidential Information does not include: (a) information that was generally known to the public at the time disclosed to the Receiving Party; (b) information that becomes generally known to the public (other than through a breach of Confidentiality by the Receiving Party) after disclosure to the Receiving Party; (c) information that was in the Receiving Party’s possession free of any obligation of confidentiality prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (d) information that is rightfully received by the Receiving Party from a third party without any restriction on disclosure; or (e) information that was independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to or use of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. ALL CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IS PROVIDED “AS IS.” EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ITS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
6.2 Use and Disclosure of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party: (a) will not use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose except as permitted under this Agreement; (b) will not disclose, give access to, or distribute any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any third party, except to the extent expressly authorized in this Agreement or a separate written agreement signed by the Disclosing Party; and (c) will take reasonable security precautions (which will be at least as protective as the precautions it takes to preserve its own Confidential Information of a similar nature) to safeguard the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to those of its employees, directors, Affiliates, advisors, agents, contractors, and other representatives (“Representatives”) who need to know such information in order to exercise their respective rights and obligations hereunder, provided that each such Representative is bound to protect the Confidential Information by confidentiality obligations substantially as protective as those set forth in this Agreement. The Receiving Party will be responsible for its Representatives’ disclosure or use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in violation of Section 6 (Confidentiality). The Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party in writing upon discovery of any unauthorized disclosure or use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or any other breach of Section 6, by it or its Representatives. The Receiving Party’s obligations set forth in Section 6 will remain in effect during the Term and for three (3) years after termination of this Agreement. The disclosure of Confidential Information to the Receiving Party does not grant or convey any right of ownership of such Confidential Information.
6.3 Required Disclosures. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law or legal process, provided, however, the Receiving Party will (unless prohibited by law or legal process): (a) give the Disclosing Party prior written notice of such disclosure to afford the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to appear, object, and obtain a protective order or other appropriate relief regarding such disclosure; (b) use diligent efforts to limit disclosure to that which is legally required; and (c) reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in its efforts to obtain a protective order or other legally available means of protection.

6.5 Remedies. The Receiving Party acknowledges that any actual or threatened breach of Section 6 (Confidentiality) may cause irreparable, non-monetary injury to the Disclosing Party, the extent of which may be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the Disclosing Party is entitled to (but not required to) seek injunctive relief to prevent or mitigate any breaches of Section 6 with respect to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or any damages that may otherwise result from those breaches.
Section 7 – Representations and Warranties.

Condado will indemnify Customer Indemnified Parties for any finally awarded damages or settlement amount approved by Condado in writing to the extent arising from a Claim Against Customer, and any reasonable attorneys’ fees of Customer associated with initially responding to a Claim Against Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Condado will have no obligation under this Section 8.1 to the extent any Claim Against Customer arises from: (a) Customer’s use of the Services or Customizations in combination with technology or services not provided by Condado, if the Services or Customizations or use thereof would not infringe without such combination; (b) Customer Content; (c) Condado’s compliance with designs, specifications, or instructions provided in writing by Customer if such infringement would not have occurred but for such designs, specifications, or instructions; or (d) use of the Services or Customizations by Customer after notice by Condado to discontinue use. If Customer is enjoined or otherwise prohibited from using any of the Services or Customizations or a portion thereof based on a Claim Against Customer, then Condado will, at Condado’s sole expense and option, either: (x) obtain for Customer the right to use the allegedly infringing portions of the Service or Customizations; (y) modify the allegedly infringing portion of the Service or Customizations so as to render it non-infringing without substantially diminishing or impairing its functionality; or (z) replace the allegedly infringing portions of the Service or Customizations with non-infringing items of substantially similar functionality. If Condado determines that the foregoing remedies are not commercially reasonable or possible, then Condado will terminate the applicable Order or SOW and issue a refund of prepaid fees covering the terminated portion of the applicable Service.
8.2 By Customer. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Customer will defend Condado and Condado’s Affiliates providing the Services, and their respective officers, directors, and employees (“Condado Indemnified Parties”) from and against any claims, demands, proceedings, investigations, or suits brought by a third party arising out of Customer Content or Customer’s use of the Services or Customizations in violation of applicable law (each, a “Claim Against Condado”). Customer will indemnify Condado Indemnified Parties for any finally awarded damages or settlement amount approved by Customer in writing to the extent arising from a Claim Against Condado, and any reasonable attorneys’ fees of Condado associated with initially responding to a Claim Against Condado.
8.3 Conditions. The indemnifying party’s obligations under Section 8 (Indemnification) are contingent on the indemnified party: (a) promptly providing written notice of the claim to the indemnifying party, provided that the indemnifying party shall not be excused from its indemnity obligations for the indemnified party’s failure to provide prompt notice except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced thereby; (b) giving the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim, provided that any settlement unconditionally releases the indemnified party of all liability and does not make any admissions on behalf of the indemnified party or include payment of any amounts by the indemnified party; and (c) providing the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party’s expense, all reasonable assistance in connection with such claim. The indemnified party may participate in the defense of the claim at its sole cost and expense. Section 8 sets forth the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy for, any type of claim or action described in Section 8.
Section 9 – Limitations of Liability.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR REVENUES OR FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, COVER, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM OF ANY NATURE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN GIVEN ADVANCE NOTICE OF SUCH POSSIBLE DAMAGES OR IF A PARTY’S REMEDY OTHERWISE FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY’S ENTIRE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER TO CONDADO UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE DATE ON WHICH THE LIABILITY AROSE. THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT.
THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS AND LIABILITY LIMITS IN THIS SECTION 9 SHALL NOT APPLY TO DAMAGES OR LIABILITY RESULTING FROM CLAIMS OR OBLIGATIONS ARISING UNDER SECTIONS 1.2 (RESTRICTIONS) OR 8 (INDEMNIFICATION), INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION BY A PARTY OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, OR CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATION TO PAY FOR SERVICES OR TAXES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

Unless otherwise expressly stated herein, this Agreement and any Orders or SOWs may be modified only by a written amendment or agreement executed by an authorized representative of each party. The waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement or of any Order or SOW will be effective only if in writing, and no such waiver will operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.
10.7 Enforceability. If any provision of this Agreement or any Order or SOW is held to be unenforceable, then that provision is to be construed either by modifying it to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable (if permitted by law) or disregarding it (if not permitted by law), and the rest of this Agreement or the relevant Order or SOW is to remain in effect as written.

10.10 Revisions. Condado reserves the right to revise this Agreement by posting a revised version on the Site, which will be effective five (5) days after posting.

1.1 Information Security Program. Condado shall maintain a comprehensive written information security program, including policies, standards, procedures, and related documents that establish criteria, means, methods, and measures governing the processing and security of Customer Content and the Condado systems or networks used to process or secure Customer Content in connection with providing the Services (“Condado Information Systems”).

In accordance with its information security program, Condado shall implement appropriate physical, organizational, and technical controls designed to: (a) ensure the security, integrity, and confidentiality of Customer Content accessed, collected, used, stored, or transmitted to or by Condado; and (b) protect Customer Content from known or reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to its security, integrity, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, and other unlawful forms of processing. Without limiting the foregoing, Condado will, as appropriate, utilize the following controls:
1.2.1 Firewalls. Condado will install and maintain firewall(s) to protect data accessible via the Internet.
1.2.2 Updates. Condado will maintain programs and routines to keep the Condado Information Systems up to date with the latest upgrades, updates, bug fixes, new versions, and other modifications.
1.2.3 Anti-malware. Condado will deploy and use anti-malware software and will keep the anti-malware software up to date. Condado will use such software to mitigate threats from all viruses, spyware, and other malicious code that are or should reasonably be detected.
1.2.4 Testing. Condado will regularly test its security systems, processes, and controls to ensure they meet the requirements of these Security Practices.
1.2.5 Access Controls. Condado will secure data in production Condado Information Systems by complying with the following:

1.2.5.2 Condado will restrict access to systems with Customer Content to only those individuals necessary to perform a specified obligation as permitted by this Agreement.
1.2.5.3 Condado will regularly review (at a minimum once every ninety (90) days) the list of individuals and services with access to systems processing Customer Content and remove accounts that no longer require access.
1.2.5.4 Condado will not use manufacturer supplied defaults for system passwords on any operating systems, software, or other systems, and will mandate the use of system-enforced “strong passwords” in accordance with or exceeding the best practices (described below) on all systems processing Customer Content, and will require that all passwords and access credentials be kept confidential and not shared among Condado personnel.

1.2.8 Remote Access. Condado will ensure that any access from outside of its protected corporate or production environments to systems processing Customer Content or to Condado’s corporate or development workstation networks will require appropriate connection controls, such as VPN or multi-factor authentication.

3.2 Unsuccessful Attempts. An unsuccessful attack or intrusion is not a Security Incident subject to this Section 3.
