For example, automated methods include artificial intelligence (AI), which Agnostic Intelligence thinks of as a set of technologies that enable computers to perceive, learn, reason, and assist in decision-making to solve problems. To build, train, and improve the accuracy of our automated methods of processing (including AI), Agnostic Intelligence manually reviews some of the predictions and inferences produced by the automated methods against the underlying data from which the predictions and inferences were made.

6.4. Disclaimer. Agnostic Intelligence provides its services for informational purposes only on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Agnostic Intelligence makes no warranty or representation regarding the services, any information, materials, goods, or services obtained through the services, or that the services will meet any the Customer requirements, or be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error free.

Use of the services are at the Customer’s sole risk. The Customer will be solely responsible for any damage to the Customer resulting from the use or reliance upon such services. Agnostic Intelligence services aggregate, analyse and give meaning to a vast trove of security data available on- and offline, to offer to the Customer insights into how this data reflects the cybersecurity posture of the Customer’s suppliers and other partners, as well as of the Customer’s own organization.  Agnostic Intelligence provides its products and services only for informational purposes and does not warrant that these products and services will identify or detect every vulnerability or security issue, or that Agnostic Intelligence’s assessments, reports, or other Agnostic Intelligence materials or advice will be error-free or complete.

Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, the above limitation may not apply to the Customer. In that event, such warranties are limited to the minimum warranty scope and period allowed by applicable law.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Except for the indemnification obligations under sections 8 and 9, in no event shall either party be liable to the other party for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, including, without limitation, loss of profits or goodwill, for any matter arising out of or relating to this agreement and/or its or their subject matter, whether such liability is asserted on the basis of contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages; and each party’s total liability for any cause of action, claim, damages, fees, costs or expenses shall be limited to the amount paid by the Customer to Agnostic Intelligence for the services provided by Agnostic Intelligence under this agreement during the six (6) months immediately preceding the date on which the claim at issue accrued. The limitations set forth in this section 7 apply to all causes of action in the aggregate. Each party acknowledges and agrees that this section 7 represents a reasonable allocation of risk and that, in the absence of these limitations of liability, the terms of this agreement would be substantially different.

8. CUSTOMER INDEMNIFICATION

The Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Agnostic Intelligence, its directors, officers, shareholders, employees and agents, and their respective successors, assigns, estates and heirs (the “Agnostic Intelligence Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all causes of action, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, obligations, fees, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal/attorney’s fees), brought by or owing to any third party and arising from or related to (i) any wrongful act or omission of the Customer, (ii) any breach of the warranties set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement, and (iii) any use by the Customer of or reliance by the Customer upon the Services and any information, materials, goods or services obtained through the Services; provided, that Agnostic Intelligence (i) promptly gives the Customer written notice of the claim; (ii) gives the Customer sole control of the defence and settlement of the claim (provided that the Customer may not settle any Claim unless the settlement unconditionally releases Agnostic Intelligence of all liability); and (iii) provides to the Customer all reasonable assistance, at the Customer’s expense.

9. AGNOSTIC INTELLIGENCE INDEMNIFICATION

Agnostic Intelligence will defend at its own expense any action brought against the Customer, or the Customer’s directors, officers or employees (“Customer Indemnified Parties”) by a third party to the extent that the action is based on a claim, suit or proceeding that the Services infringe such party’s copyright or trademark rights (“Infringement Claim”), and Agnostic Intelligence will pay those costs and damages (including, but not limited, to legal/attorneys’ fees) finally awarded against Customer Indemnified Parties by a court of competent jurisdiction in any such action that are specifically attributable to such Infringement Claim, or those costs and damages agreed to in a monetary settlement of such action; provided, however, that the Customer provides Agnostic Intelligence with prompt notice of the Infringement Claim, sole control of defence and settlement of that Infringement Claim, and reasonable assistance regarding such Infringement Claim at Agnostic Intelligence’s reasonable expense. In the event of any such Infringement Claim, Agnostic Intelligence may, at its option: (i) purchase a license to permit the Customer to continue using the Services; (ii) modify or replace the relevant Services with non-infringing services of substantially equivalent performance within a reasonable period of time; or (iii) terminate this Agreement immediately and reimburse the Customer for any fees paid in advance for Services that will not be performed due to such termination.

Agnostic Intelligence will not be responsible for any amounts arising out of any compromise or settlement made by the Customer without Agnostic Intelligence’s prior written consent.

10. CONFIDENTIALITY

10.1. Definition of Confidential Information. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any information which should be considered confidential by a party exercising reasonable business judgment and that is furnished or transferred hereunder by or on behalf of such a party, (the "Disclosing Party"), to the other party ("Receiving Party"), whether such information is or has been conveyed verbally or in written or other tangible form, including, but not limited to, trade secrets and technical, financial or business information, pricing, data, ideas, concepts or know-how. Confidential Information disclosed in tangible or electronic form may be identified by the Disclosing Party as confidential with conspicuous markings, or otherwise identified with a legend as being confidential, but in no event shall the absence of such a mark or legend preclude disclosed information which would be considered confidential by a party exercising reasonable business judgment from being treated as Confidential Information by the Receiving Party. Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is available to the general public other than by a breach of confidentiality, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party without any limitation on use or disclosure prior to its receipt from the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality, (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to or reliance on any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, or (v) is generally made available to third parties by the Disclosing Party without restriction on disclosure.

The Receiving Party shall not disclose, disseminate or otherwise communicate, in whole or in part, the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of Disclosing Party, except that the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information (i) to its agents, independent contractors, attorneys and financial advisors who are subject to a duty of confidentiality that is no less restrictive than the duty of confidentiality set forth in this Section 10 (“Representatives”), or (ii) pursuant to a court order or subpoena or other legal process (in which case the Receiving Party shall provide prompt notice of receipt of the same to the Disclosing Party to enable the Disclosing Party to apply for appropriate protective order or other relief). The Receiving Party further agrees that it shall take reasonable precautions to safeguard the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from disclosure and, at a minimum, use efforts commensurate with those the Receiving Party employs for protecting the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information which it does not desire to disclose or disseminate, but in no event less than reasonable care. Promptly upon the written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall return the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information (and any and all copies thereof) to the Disclosing Party.

10.3. Remedies. Receiving Party agrees that Disclosing Party may be irreparably injured by a breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Section 10 and that Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a restraining order, injunctive relief, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from any court to prevent breaches of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court having personal and subject matter jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedy to which Disclosing Party may be entitled at law or in equity in the event of any breach of the provisions hereof. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.

10.4. Permitted Disclosure. In addition to the above, the Customer agrees that Agnostic Intelligence may disclose certain Customer data/information to the extent that Agnostic Intelligence believes such disclosure may be necessary to: (i) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal processes served on Agnostic Intelligence; (ii) bring legal action to defend and protect the rights or property of Agnostic Intelligence, its Customers or anyone else; (iii) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of its Customers or the public; or (iv) administer its network to maintain performance for its Customers.

Agnostic Intelligence will not disclose Performance Data to third parties (except for Agnostic Intelligence’s Representatives to which Agnostic Intelligence may disclose Performance Data for the purposes specified above) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to perform the Services and/or for the purposes set forth in Section 10.4 of this Agreement.
