4 – Term and Termination

Term: This Agreement will begin on the effective date of the first Order Form between the Parties and will continue for as long as any Order Form remains in effect, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement (the “Term”).
Term of Order Forms: The initial term of each Order Form will begin on effective date of such Order Form and continue for the subscription term set forth therein. Except as set forth in such Order Form, each Order Form will automatically renew for successive renewal terms equal in length to the initial term of such Order Form, unless either party provides the other party with written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current subscription term.
Termination for Cause: Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the other party if: (a) the other party materially breaches this Agreement, and such breach remains uncured more than thirty (15) days after receipt of written notice of such breach; or (b) the other party: (i) becomes insolvent; (ii) files a petition in bankruptcy that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of commencement; or (c) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

5 – Confidentiality

If the parties have a separate mutual nondisclosure agreement in place, that agreement will take precedence (the “Separate MNDA”). Otherwise, the term “Confidential Information” refers to any financial, technical, or business information belonging to a Party (the “Disclosing Party”) that is either designated as confidential when disclosed to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) or reasonably understood to be confidential based on the nature of the information or the circumstances of its disclosure. Services Information and Customer Information are considered Confidential Information under this MSA or confidential under the Separate MNDA, as applicable. The Receiving Party must not disclose, duplicate, publish, transfer, or make available the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in any form to any person or entity without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent, except as explicitly allowed in this MSA. The Receiving Party may only use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to fulfill its obligations under this MSA, including, for Socurely, the provision of Services.

Notwithstanding the above, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information if required by law, provided that the Receiving Party: (a) gives the Disclosing Party prior written notice of the disclosure, allowing the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to object and obtain a protective order or other appropriate relief regarding the disclosure (if not prohibited by applicable law); (b) diligently attempts to limit disclosure and secure confidential treatment or a protective order; and (c) permits the Disclosing Party to participate in the proceeding. Additionally, Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) becomes publicly known without the Receiving Party’s breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (ii) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without breaching any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (iii) is received from a third party who acquired such Confidential Information without violating any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party.

6 – Representations, Warranties

Representations: Each party represents that it has validly entered into this Agreement and has the legal power to do so.
Warranties: Socurely warrants that during the applicable subscription term Socurely will not: (a) materially decrease the overall functionality of the Services; or (b) materially decrease the overall security of the Services.

The Customer must inform Socurely of any non-compliance regarding the Services under the above warranty within 30 days. If the Customer notifies Socurely within this timeframe, Socurely will make commercially reasonable efforts to rectify the non-compliance at no extra cost. If Socurely is unable to correct the non-compliant Services within a reasonable period, the Customer has the right to terminate the relevant Order Form and receive a prorated refund for any prepaid, unused Fees covering the remaining subscription term. The aforementioned remedy is the Customer’s exclusive recourse in the event of a breach of the limited warranties stated above.

For Clarity, Nothing In This Agreement Will Limit Or Exclude Either Party’s Liability For Gross Negligence Or Intentional Misconduct Of A Party. Customer Acknowledges And Agrees That The Essential Purpose Of This Section Is To Allocate The Risks Under This Agreement Between The Parties And Limit Potential Liability Given The Fees, Which Would Have Been Substantially Higher If Socurely Were To Assume Any Further Liability Other Than As Set Forth Herein.
