  6. CONFIDENTIALITY

    1. Acknowledgment. Licensee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Software and Documentation constitute and contain valuable proprietary information and trade secrets of CSS and/or its suppliers, embodying substantial creative efforts and confidential information, ideas, and expressions. Accordingly, Licensee agrees to treat (and take precautions to ensure that its employees treat) the Software and Documentation as confidential in accordance with the confidentiality requirements and conditions set forth below.

    2. Maintenance of Confidential Information. Licensee agrees to keep confidential all confidential information disclosed to it by CSS in accordance herewith, and to protect the confidentiality thereof in the same manner it protects the confidentiality of similar information and data of its own (at all times exercising at least a reasonable degree of care in the protection of confidential information); provided, however, that neither party shall have any such obligation with respect to use or disclosure to others not parties to this Agreement of such confidential information as can be established to: (1) have been known publicly; (2) have been known generally in the industry before communication by the disclosing party to the recipient; (3) have become known publicly, without fault on the part of the recipient, subsequent to disclosure by the disclosing party; (4) have been known otherwise by the recipient before communication by the disclosing party; or (5) have been received by the recipient without any obligation of confidentiality from a source (other than the disclosing party) lawfully having possession of such information.

    3. Injunctive Relief. Licensee acknowledges that the unauthorized use, transfer, or disclosure of the Software and Documentation or copies thereof will: (1) substantially diminish the value to CSS of the trade secrets and other proprietary interests that are the subject of this Agreement; (2) render CSS’s remedy at law for such unauthorized use, disclosure or transfer inadequate; and (3) cause irreparable injury in a short period of time. If Licensee breaches any of its obligations with respect to the use or confidentiality of the Software or Documentation, CSS shall be entitled to equitable relief to protect its interests therein, including, but not limited to, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief.

    4. Survival. Licensee’s obligations under this Section will survive the termination of this Agreement or of any license granted under this Agreement for whatever reason.

  7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

    THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE SOFTWARE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. CSS PROVIDES THE SOFTWARE “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE AND ANY IMPLICATED THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE IS WITH LICENSEE. SHOULD THE SOFTWARE PROVE DEFECTIVE, LICENSEE ASSUMES THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. CSS MAKES NO WARRANTY AS TO THE FITNESS OF THIS SOFTWARE FOR ANY PURPOSE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ITS USE IN CONTRACTING SERVICES, ELECTRICAL OR OTHERWISE.

    CSS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS OR ADMISSIONS IN THE SOFTWARE OR DOCUMENTATION TO THE EXTENT IT IS NOT IN THE SAME FORM OR NOT IN ACCORD WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE OR ANY STATE, COUNTY, MUNICIPAL OR OTHER JURISDICTIONAL BUILDING OR ELECTRIC CODES. THE LICENSEE IS EXPRESSLY WARNED TO CONSIDER AND ADOPT ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS THAT MIGHT BE INDICATED BY THE ACTIVITIES HEREIN AND TO AVOID ALL POTENTIAL HAZARDS.

  8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

    IN NO EVENT WILL CSS BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, LOSS-OF-PROFIT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE, INABILITY TO USE, OR RELIANCE ON THE SOFTWARE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY LICENSEE OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM OR THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF CSS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

    Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of CSS to any person, firm or company whatsoever arising out of or in the connection with any license, use, or other employment of any Software delivered to Licensee hereunder, whether such liability arises from any claim based on breach or repudiation of contract, warranty, tort or otherwise, shall in no case exceed the actual price paid to CSS by Licensee for the Software whose license, use, or other employment gives rise to the liability. The essential purpose of this provision is to limit the potential liability of CSS arising out of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the limitations set forth in this Section are integral to the amount of consideration levied in connection with the license of the Software and Documentation and any services rendered hereunder and that, were CSS to assume any further liability other than as set forth herein, such consideration would of necessity be set substantially higher.

    Notwithstanding the warranty provisions set forth herein, all of CSS’ obligations with respect to such warranties shall be contingent on Licensee’s use of the Software in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with CSS’ instructions as provided by CSS in the Documentation, as such instructions may be amended, supplemented, or modified by CSS from time to time. CSS shall have no warranty obligations with respect to any failures of the Software, which are the result of accident, abuse, misapplication, power surge, or electromagnetic field disruption. Licensee assumes sole responsibility for the installation, use, and results obtained from use of the Software.
