Under no circumstances shall the [topcoder] Platform, tools or documentation be deemed to be included in the Custom Software. c. Third-Party Software. If Customer requests that a Competition and/or the Custom Software interface with, accompany, or include software or material not developed by [topcoder], including any open source software (“Third-Party Software”), any such Third-Party Software shall be subject to its own terms and conditions, and shall not be considered part of the Custom Software or the Licensed Software under this Agreement.

Regardless of whether Customer is a U.S.-based entity, Customer shall not export or re-export any of the Custom Software, Third-Party Software or Licensed Software (in whole or in part) to any country without ensuring that such export complies with the Export Administration Regulations of the U.S. Department of Commerce, and any other applicable statute, regulation, or government order. Customer warrants that it is not named on any U.S. government denied-party list.

6. Confidential Information

a. Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means information which provided by either party under this Agreement which is proprietary, trade secret and/or confidential, including, but not limited to, techniques, designs, specifications, drawings, blueprints, tracings, diagrams, models, samples, flow charts, data, computer programs, disks, diskettes, tapes, business plans, marketing plans, customer names and other technical, financial or commercial information and intellectual property. For the avoidance of doubt, the [topcoder] Platform, tools and associated documentation or materials, and any other information that [topcoder] provides to Customer hereunder that should reasonably be known to be confidential, shall constitute [topcoder]’s Confidential Information. b. Competition Confidentiality Agreement. If a Competition contains Confidential Information, Customer shall identify that Competition as requiring the then-current version of the Competition Nondisclosure Agreement (“Competition NDA”) in the “[topcoder] Direct tool” available on the [topcoder] Platform, and [topcoder] will use reasonable commercial efforts to require all members of the [topcoder] Community who seek to participate in such Competition to have an executed Competition NDA on file prior to participation and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the Competition NDA upon Customer’s reasonable written request. c. Exceptions. These confidentiality obligations shall not apply to any Confidential Information which: (a) is generally known to the public at the time of disclosure or later becomes so generally known (including Confidential Information which is disclosed as part of a competition where a Competition NDA is not required); and (b) is required by law, court order or a governmental agency to be disclosed. d. Title and License to Customer’s Confidential Information. All right, title, and ownership to Confidential Information provided by Customer hereunder remains with Customer. Customer represents that it has all rights in the Confidential Information necessary to include it in a Competition. Customer hereby grants to [topcoder] a license to use such Confidential Information provided by Customer solely for the purposes of the applicable Competitions.

7. Limitation of Liability

NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, LOST PROFITS, OR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL [TOPCODER]’S LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER TO [TOPCODER] IN THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS UNDER THE APPLICABLE ORDER FORM. THE EXISTENCE OF ONE OR MORE CLAIMS WILL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 7 WILL SURVIVE AND APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

8. Warranty

a. Limited Warranty. For a period of 30 days from the completion of the Competition in which Custom Software is developed as a result of the Competition, [topcoder] warrants that the Custom Software will function materially as described in the specification documentation used in the Competition. If Custom Software that results from a Competition is not developed materially as described in the applicable specification documentation, Customer shall, within ten (10) days from the completion of the applicable Competition, notify [topcoder] in writing of and adequately describe any such material non-conformance, and Customer’s exclusive remedy and [topcoder]‘s sole obligation shall be to, at [topcoder]’s sole discretion, either (1) investigate the errors and use commercially reasonable efforts to bring the Custom Software into material conformance with the applicable documentation; or (2) refund or credit the fees invoiced for that Custom Software. The warranty set forth in this section does not apply to Custom Software that have been modified, damaged or operated contrary to the applicable documentation. b. Disclaimer. THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT. [topcoder] MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND TO CUSTOMER OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY. The parties acknowledge and agree that the fees charged by [topcoder] under this Agreement reflect the allocation of risks provided by the foregoing warranty, the limitations of liability, and other terms set forth in this Agreement, and any modification of the allocation of risks would affect the fees charged.
