Customer is solely responsible for determining whether the Services are sufficient for its purposes, including, but not limited to, whether the Services satisfy Customer’s legal and/or regulatory requirements.
2.2 Customer shall be solely responsible for the accuracy, integrity and legality of any content or data, including personal data as this term is defined in the applicable data protection laws, submitted by or on behalf of Customer to the Services and the output of the Services that incorporates such content or data or is otherwise specific to Customer (“Customer Data”).

Qbicle shall invoice Customer for the increase in the maximum number of Users at the subscription rate and payment terms specified in the most recent Order Form, prorated for the remainder of the then-applicable subscription Term. For any future subscription Term, the number of Users and applicable Fees will reflect any Subscription Upgrades.
5. Confidentiality
5.1 The term “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by one party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”) in any form (written, oral, etc.) that is marked as confidential or that should be reasonably understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of the disclosure, including, without limitation: trade secrets; technology and technical information (intellectual property, inventions, know-how, ideas, and methods); business, financial, and customer information (including Customer Data and Customer personal data); pricing, forecasts, strategies, and product development plans; and/or the terms of this Agreement. However, Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public without any action by, or involvement of, the Receiving Party; or (ii) was in its possession or known by it prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party; or (iii) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party; or (iv) was independently developed without use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
5.2 Each party understands that the Disclosing Party has or may disclose Confidential Information in connection with this Agreement, but that the Receiving Party shall receive no rights in, or licenses to, such Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall not disclose or use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside of the scope of this Agreement, except with the Disclosing Party’s prior written permission. The Receiving Party agrees: (i) to not disclose Confidential Information to any third party other than those of its employees, contractors, advisors, investors, and potential acquirers (“Representatives”) with a need to have access thereto and who have entered into non-disclosure and non-use agreements applicable to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, and (ii) to use such Confidential Information solely as reasonably required in connection with the Services and/or this Agreement. Each Party agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement caused by any of its Representatives. The Receiving Party further agrees to take the same security precautions to protect against unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized use of such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that the Party takes with its own confidential or proprietary information, but in no event, will a Party apply less than reasonable precautions to protect such Confidential Information. Each Party acknowledges that the use of such precautions is not a guarantee against unauthorized disclosure or use.
5.3 Nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information as required in response to a request under applicable open records laws or pursuant to any judicial or governmental order, provided that, to the extent permitted by law, the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice to contest such a disclosure. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer acknowledges that Qbicle utilizes the services of, and Customer may request additional services from, certain third parties in connection with Qbicle’s provision of the Services (such as data hosting, telephone service providers, and Customer’s Third-Party Services providers) and such third parties will have access to Customer’s Confidential Information, including Customer Data and Customer Personal Data in accordance with this Agreement.
5.4 Each Party agrees that, upon the written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will promptly return to the Disclosing Party, or provide written certification of the destruction of, all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, including all Confidential Information contained in internal documents, without retaining any copy, extract, or summary of any part thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Receiving Party may retain copies of Confidential Information solely to the extent necessary for purposes of such party’s ordinary course of business internal document retention and backup requirements and procedures, provided that such Confidential Information shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement for so long as it is retained.
5.5 Customer acknowledges that Qbicle does not wish to receive any Confidential Information from Customer that is not necessary for Qbicle to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and, unless the Parties specifically agree otherwise, Qbicle may reasonably presume that any unrelated information received from Customer is not Confidential Information, unless such information is marked as “Confidential.”
6. Intellectual Property Rights; Ownership
Except as expressly set forth herein, Qbicle alone (and its licensors, where applicable) will retain all intellectual property rights relating to the Services or the Software or any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations or other information provided by Customer or any third party relating to the Services and/or the Software, which are hereby assigned to Qbicle. Customer will not copy, distribute, reproduce, or use any of the foregoing except as expressly permitted under this Agreement. As between the Parties, Qbicle owns all Aggregated Data.

The DPA sets out the parties obligations with respect to data protection and security when processing such Customer Data on your behalf in connection with the Services.

By enabling an Integration between the Services and its Third-Party Services, Customer is expressly instructing Qbicle to share the Customer Data necessary to facilitate the Integration. Customer acknowledges it is solely responsible for providing any and all instructions to the Third-Party Service provider about the use and protection of Customer Data, including any Customer Personal Data, and for entering into any required agreements with the Third-Party Service provider to protect such Customer Data or regulate its use by the Third-Party Service provider. Customer acknowledges Qbicle and Third-Party Service providers are not sub-processors of each other.
7.3 Customer shall be responsible for determining whether the Services are appropriate for the storage and processing of Customer Data (including Customer Personal Data) under applicable data protection law. Customer represents and warrants to Qbicle that the Customer Personal Data provided to or otherwise collected by Qbiclein connection with the Services, the means by which Customer acquired such Customer Personal Data, and the Customer’s instructions for the processing of Customer Personal Data in connection with the Services shall comply with all applicable data protection laws.
7.4 Qbicle shall implement and maintain all reasonable and appropriate technical and organizations security measures designed to protect Customer Data from any accidental or unlawful destruction, alteration, or unauthorized access or disclosure to third parties in accordance with the Qbicle Security policy (the latest version of which is available here: https://qbicle.app/privacy/ or such other URL as may be notified to Customer from time to time).
8. Indemnification
8.1 For Customers enrolled in any form of Services requiring the payment of Fees, Qbicle shall indemnify and hold Customer harmless from liability to third parties resulting from infringement by the Services of any patent or any copyright or misappropriation of any trade secret, provided Qbicle is promptly notified of any and all threats, claims, and proceedings related thereto and given reasonable assistance and the opportunity to assume sole control over defense and settlement; Qbicle will not be responsible for any settlement it does not approve.

If Qbicle receives information about an actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation claim that would be subject to indemnification rights set forth in this Section 8, Qbicle shall have the option, at its expense, to (i) modify the Software to be non-infringing or (ii) obtain a license for Customer to continue using the Software. If Qbicle determines it is not commercially reasonable to perform either of the above options, then Qbicle may at its option elect to terminate the license for the Services and refund the unearned portion of any prepaid subscription Fees, prorated on a monthly basis. THIS SECTION STATES CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION, AND/OR CLAIMS ALLEGING INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION.
