(b) as part of or as required to use a Software; and
(c) in accordance with the license grant for the relevant Software and all other terms and conditions of the Terms, Samsung SDS will indemnify Customer for infringement claims for Separately Licensed Third Party Technology to the same extent as Samsung SDS is required to provide infringement indemnification for the Software under the terms of the Terms. Samsung SDS will not indemnify nor defend Customer for infringement caused by Customer’s actions against any third party if the Software as delivered to Customer and used in accordance with the terms of the Terms would not otherwise infringe any third party intellectual property rights.
18.5 This Section (Software IP Infringement Indemnification) provides Customer’s exclusive remedy and Samsung SDS’s sole liability in connection with any Software infringement claims.
Customer shall, at its sole expense, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Samsung SDS and its licensors from and against any and all claims, proceedings, damages, injuries, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses) that Samsung SDS or its licensors may incur relating to or arising from
(i) any modification of or addition to the Software not provided or approved in writing by Samsung SDS, or
(ii) any infringement, misappropriation, or other claim that arises from the combination of the Software with any hardware, software or data not authorized in writing by Samsung SDS, provided that such claim would not have arisen from the use of the Software alone.
20.1 If a party discloses its Confidential Information to the other party under the Terms, for purposes of this Section (Nondisclosure), the disclosing party shall be referred to as the “Disclosing Party” and the receiving party shall be referred to as the “Receiving Party”. “Confidential Information” shall mean the Disclosing Party’s confidential information, including, but not limited to, information concerning the Disclosing Party’s products, services, sales, performance, plans, strategies, customers, finances, human resources, processes, management, contracts, project documentation, software and hardware, technical data, drawings, schematics, know-how, idea, inventions (whether patentable or not), and the same information types of its parent and/or affiliated companies, and subsidiaries, as may be appropriate, and any third party proprietary information given to the Receiving Party by or through the Disclosing Party that would otherwise fall under this definition. Confidential Information may be disclosed in writing, orally or in other tangible or intangible form, and must be either marked, otherwise identified as confidential or proprietary, or be information which ought to be considered confidential or proprietary based on its nature or from the circumstances surrounding its creation or disclosure. The Products, any documents, Product updates, or other materials or documents provided to Customer pursuant to the Terms and the Terms and its contents, shall be considered Samsung SDS’s Confidential Information. Confidential Information covered by this Section (Nondisclosure) shall also include Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party but disclosed by the Disclosing Party’s parent, affiliated companies, employees, consultants, and agents (collectively, “Representatives”) on behalf of the Disclosing Party.
20.2 The Receiving Party shall hold and keep in confidence, and protect from unauthorized disclosure or use, all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, using the same means it uses to hold in confidence, and protect, its own Confidential Information, but in no event using less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party shall make use of the Confidential Information only for the purpose of performing its obligations under the Terms. The Receiving Party shall not disclose Confidential Information, whether directly or indirectly, to any third party without prior written approval of the Disclosing Party. However, the Receiving Party may grant access and disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only to those of its Representatives on a “need to know” basis provided each such Representative is subject to written obligations of confidentiality, non-disclosure, and use restrictions, substantially as restrictive than those contained herein, and that are applicable, by their own terms, to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that is so disclosed to any such Representatives. The Receiving Party shall be liable for all acts and omissions of such Representatives. Each Receiving Party shall be responsible for any breach of the terms of the Terms by any of its Representatives and shall take all commercially reasonable measures (including, but not limited to, court proceedings in the appropriate circumstances) to restrain such Representatives from unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
20.3 Confidential Information shall not include any information which:
a.is made public by the Disclosing Party, or is in the public domain otherwise than as a result of a breach of the Terms;
b.was in the possession of the Receiving Party without an obligation of confidentiality before its receipt of the Confidential Information whether directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by the Receiving Party’s written records;
c.is disclosed to the Receiving Party in good faith by a third party who had a lawful right to make such disclosure without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or
d.is independently developed by Receiving Party without use of the Confidential Information as evidenced by the Receiving Party’s written records.
20.4 Upon request by and at the election of the Disclosing Party at any time, the Receiving Party shall within fifteen (15) days from the date of such request return or destroy all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and all documents containing any such Confidential Information and any and all copies or extracts thereof. The Receiving Party shall also, at the same time, remove and delete all electronic copies of such Confidential Information from all storage media and furnish written verification of complete removal and deletion to the Disclosing Party.
20.5 The Receiving Party agrees and acknowledges that the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party constitutes valuable proprietary information for which there may be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of the obligation under this Section (Nondisclosure), which breach may result in irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party therefore agrees that upon any such breach or threatened breach of the provisions of the Terms, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, to obtain injunctive, prohibitory or other urgent relief against such breach or threatened breach and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall not plead as a defense to such action by the Disclosing Party that the Disclosing Party has an adequate remedy or other remedies at law.
20.6 Notwithstanding anything else in this Section (Nondisclosure) and to the minimum extent legally required, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law, or by a valid order of any governmental or applicable regulatory body, provided that the Receiving Party shall promptly provide the Disclosing Party with written notice of such order prior to such disclosure (unless prohibited by such law or order) so as to afford the Disclosing Party reasonable opportunity to oppose such disclosure, or obtain a protective order, and the Receiving party shall provide reasonable assistance to the Disclosing Party in connection with the Disclosing Party’s efforts to obtain such a disclosure limitation or protective order. Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to this Subsection shall itself be considered Confidential Information.
21.1 The Software license shall commence on the Software license Commencement Date set forth in the SEA Terms and shall expire at the end of the license type (term) set forth in the SEA Terms unless terminated earlier in accordance with the express terms of the Terms.
21.2 Upon expiration or termination of the Terms, Customer will purge from its computer systems, storage media, and other files and, at Samsung SDS’s option, destroy or deliver to Samsung SDS or its designee, all copies of the Software within Customer’s possession or control, except to the extent that retention of any such materials is required by law. In the event that Customer retains any such materials under this Subsection 21.2, then such materials shall be considered Samsung SDS’s Confidential Information.
21.3 Either party will have the right to terminate the Terms if the other party (i) breaches a material term of the Terms and fails to correct the breach within thirty (30) days of written notice that describes the breach in reasonable detail, or (ii) ceases to conduct business in the normal course, is declared insolvent, undergoes any procedure for the suspension of payment, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a petition for bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution, or liquidation is filed by or against it.
21.4 Samsung SDS may terminate the Terms upon written notice to Customer in the event that Customer breaches Section 20 (Nondisclosure) of the Terms or for such other reason as may be set forth in a Schedule.
21.5 In addition to a party’s right to terminate under Section 21.3 Samsung SDS may terminate the Terms in the event that Customer breaches Section or 4 (Restrictions) or Section 11 (Ownership) of the Terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Samsung SDS shall be under no obligation to authorize use of the Software by Customer unless and until the associated license fee is paid by Customer.
21.6 Upon the expiration or termination of the Terms for any reason, all rights granted to Customer hereunder will immediately cease, and Customer will promptly comply with the termination obligations specified below and otherwise cooperate with Samsung SDS to terminate relations in an orderly manner:
a.Customer will, at Samsung SDS’s option, destroy or deliver to Samsung SDS or its designee all items within Customer’s possession or control that contain any Samsung SDS Confidential Information or bear a Mark associated with the license granted hereunder, except to the extent that retention of any such materials is required by law; and
b,Customer will, at Samsung SDS’s option, deliver to Samsung SDS a certificate, executed by an officer of Customer, on which Samsung SDS may rely, which certifies that Customer has complied with all of its termination obligations set forth in the Terms.
21.7 Provisions that survive termination or expiration of the Terms include Section 20 (Nondisclosure) of the Terms and others which by their nature are intended to survive.
It is expressly agreed that the Terms shall supersede the terms in any Customer purchase order, Customer procurement internet portal, or any other similar non-Samsung SDS document, and no terms included in any such purchase order, portal or other non-Samsung SDS document shall apply to the Products or Services ordered. The Terms may not be modified and the rights and restrictions may not be altered or waived except in a writing signed by authorized representatives of Customer and of Samsung SDS.
23.1 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be responsible for failure or delay of performance if caused by: an act of war, hostility, or sabotage; act of God; pandemic, electrical, internet, or telecommunication outage that is not caused by the obligated party; government restrictions (including the denial or cancellation of any export, import or other license and permit); or other events outside the reasonable control of the obligated party.
