The Services and Sage Data are our Confidential Information. Customer Data is your Confidential Information.

6.2 Exceptions. Confidential Information excludes: (i) information that was known to the Recipient without a confidentiality restriction prior to its disclosure by the Discloser; (ii) information that was or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of the Recipient; (iii) information that the Recipient rightfully received from a third party authorized to make such disclosure without restriction; (iv) information that has been independently developed by the Recipient without use of the Discloser’s Confidential Information; and (v) information that was authorized for release in writing by the Discloser.

6.3 Confidentiality Obligations. The Recipient will use the same degree of care and resources as it uses for its own confidential information of like nature (but no less than reasonable care) to protect the Discloser’s Confidential Information from any use or disclosure not permitted by this Agreement or authorized by the Discloser. The Recipient may disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information to its employees, Affiliates, and service providers who need access to such Confidential Information to effect the intent of this Agreement, provided that they are bound by confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those herein. Recipient shall be responsible for any breach of this section by its employees, Affiliates, and service providers.

6.4 Disclosure Required by Law. The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by court or administrative order or law, provided that the Recipient provides advance notice thereof (unless requested or ordered not to do so by law enforcement or a court) and reasonable assistance, at the Discloser’s cost, to enable the Discloser to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or limit such disclosure.

6.5 Injunctive Relief. A breach of the Recipient’s confidentiality obligations may cause irreparable damage, which money cannot satisfactorily remedy, and therefore the Discloser may seek injunctive relief for any threatened or actual breach of section 6.3 without the need to prove damages or post a bond or other surety.

We will notify you, as required by applicable law, of any actual or reasonably suspected breach of security known to us that has resulted in, or creates a reasonable risk of, unauthorized access to Customer Data without undue delay, consistent with the legitimate needs of law enforcement and with any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and to restore the integrity of the Services.

We have no obligation to provide support for Third-Party Services and do not guarantee the initial or continuing interoperability of the Services with any Third-Party Services. If a Third-Party Provider ceases to make the Third-Party Services available for interoperation with any feature of the Services on reasonable terms, we may cease providing such feature without liability.

7.2 Data Sharing. If you obtain a Third-Party Service that requires access to or transfer of Customer Data, you acknowledge that any such access or transfer is between you and the Third-Party Provider pursuant to the Third-Party Provider’s own privacy notices and policies, and that we are authorized to provide the Customer Data as requested by the Third-Party Service.

Any challenge to arbitrability shall be decided by the arbitrator. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In the event a party seeks injunctive relief from a court, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in Atlanta, Georgia.

You are responsible for protecting the confidentiality of any API access credentials in your possession or control. You may not share your API access credentials or otherwise act to circumvent any account limitations or restrictions.

In using the API and Developer Tools, you agree to protect the privacy and legal rights of Users and third parties. You represent and warrant that your use of the Developer Tools, API, and Your Software: (i) will comply with all applicable laws (including export laws) and regulations; (ii) will not contain any virus, malware, or spyware; (iii) will not violate the terms of this Agreement or any policies established by us for the operation of interoperable applications; (iv) will not adversely impact the speed, security, or integrity of the Services; (v) will not circumvent or render ineffective our technological and other measures to secure, protect, and control the Services; and (vi) will not use any FOSS in a way that would cause the non-FOSS portions of the Services to be subject to any FOSS licensing terms or obligations. “FOSS” (Free and Open Source Software) means any software that is subject to terms that, as a condition of use, copying, modification, or redistribution, require such software or derivative works thereof to be disclosed and/or distributed in source code form, to be licensed for purposes of making derivative works, or to be redistributed free of charge. Any breach of this section is a material breach of this Agreement.

We may monitor use of the API for any reason, including quality assurance, improvement of the Services, and verification of compliance with this Agreement. If you use the API to grant access to or export Customer Data from the Services, we are not responsible for any use or misuse of Customer Data obtained through the API.

13.2 Downloadable Components. The operation of certain modules of the Services requires the use of downloadable software components designed to be installed on desktop or mobile devices (“Downloadable Components”). The Downloadable Components are “Services” under this Agreement. Users may need to expressly opt into the use of certain Downloadable Components; in such cases, the operation of the Services which require such Downloadable Components is contingent on such opt-in by Users. We are not responsible for lack of use of the Services due to User refusal to install the Downloadable Components, lack of User opt-in (where required), or User opt-out (where enabled). Conditioned upon your compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we grant you the following limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as expressly provided herein), royalty-free, revocable license: your authorized Users may download, install and run on supported devices the executable form of the Downloadable Components for purposes of using the Services’ modules which utilize the Downloadable Components and for which you have subscribed. In addition to the restrictions of this Agreement regarding the Services, you may not translate, disassemble, decompile, decrypt, or reverse engineer the Downloadable Components, or authorize or knowingly permit a third party to do any of the foregoing, except to the extent such activities are expressly permitted by law notwithstanding this prohibition or by licensing terms governing use of open-source components included with the Downloadable Components. We may, from time to time, update the Downloadable Components. The Downloadable Components and all copies thereof are licensed and not sold, and are protected by applicable law, including United States and foreign copyright laws and international treaties. The licenses in this section shall terminate at the earlier of the termination or expiration of this Agreement or the termination or expiration of your subscription to the Services’ module(s) which utilize the Downloadable Components. Upon license termination, you must cease all use of the Downloadable Components and promptly delete all copies, full or partial, thereof that are in your Users’ possession or control. Any service level agreement shall not apply to the Downloadable Components and to the operation of the Services’ module(s) dependent, in whole or in part, on the Downloadable Components.

13.3 Special Product Terms. Certain Services or modules may be governed by additional terms. When agreed by you, such terms will become part of this Agreement.
