9.1.1 Order Term. The initial term of each Order begins on Order effective date and continues for the period stated in the Order. On expiration of the initial term, the Order renews for consecutive renewal terms of the same length as the initial term, unless either Customer or Living Security gives a notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the last day of the initial term or then current renewal term, as applicable. The initial term and all renewal terms of an Order are referred to as the “Term.”
9.1.2 MSA Term. The term of this Order begins on the earlier of the date that it is signed, if signed, or the effective date of the first Order that references this MSA.

Either party may terminate an Order, or the Agreement, on written notice if the other party is in material violation of any term of an Order or the Agreement, provided that if the violation is curable the terminating party must first give the other party a written notice describing the violation in reasonable detail and at least ten (10) days to cure the violation.
9.3 Suspension. Living Security may suspend Customer’s access to the Services or Content, or both, during any period that Customer is in material breach of the Agreement or Customer’s access to the Service, Content, or Technology creates a material security vulnerability. Living Security will give Customer at least two (2) business days’ advance notice of the suspension unless the suspension is made under emergency circumstances. Living Security will reinstate Customer’s access to the Services or Content when the grounds for suspension are cured unless Living Security has already terminated the Agreement as described in this Section.

10. Remedies, Disclaimers, Indemnification, Limitation of Liability.
10.1 Warranty Remedy. If Living Security fails to meet the Services Warranty stated in Section 2 (Services), Living Security will attempt to cure the failure or if it is unable to cure the failure through commercially reasonable efforts, Customer may terminate the Order for the Services not meeting the Services Warranty, and Living Security will refund the fees under that Order for the month during which the failure occurred and any prepaid fees for unused Services. However, to be eligible for a warranty remedy under this section, Customer must give a written notice describing the failure no later than ten (10) days following the end of the calendar month in which the failure occurred and cooperate with Living Security’s reasonable efforts to cure the failure. The remedies stated in this Section are Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for Living Security’ breach of the Service Warranty.
10.2 Warranty Disclaimer. Except for the Services Warranty stated in Section 1 (Services), Living Security makes no representations or warranties regarding the Services. Living Security disclaims any implied warranties, such as a warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and any representation or warranty that may arise through a course of dealing. Customer acknowledge that the use of the Services may not be uninterrupted, error free, or completely secure.
10.3 Indemnification.
10.3.1 General Reciprocal Indemnification. Each party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party, the other party’s Affiliates, and each of their respective employees, directors, officers and agents (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any liability, judgment, loss, damage, cost and other expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Losses”) arising from a third-party claim or action brought against an Indemnitee that:
- arises from the indemnifying party’s breach of its privacy, security, or confidentiality commitments stated in this Agreement (“Privacy, Security Claims”);
- arises from the indemnifying party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; or
- is for personal injury or death or damage to real property or tangible (physical) property arising from the indemnifying party’s negligence or other tort; (a “Claim”).
10.3.2 Living Security IP Infringement Claims Indemnification. Living Security shall defend Customer Indemnitees, at Living Security’s expense, from any claim asserted by an unaffiliated third party that Customer Indemnitees’ use of the Services, Content, or Technology (the “Indemnified Materials”) as permitted by the Agreement infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of the third party recognized in the United States (an “IP Claim”) and shall pay any resulting loss or damage awarded by a court or other tribunal having jurisdiction over the IP Claim, provided, however, that Living Security’s obligations under this Subsection do not extend to an IP Claim to the extent it arises from the unauthorized modification of the Indemnified Materials, Customer’s use of the Indemnified Materials in combination with third party technology in a way that is not contemplated by the Living Security documentation, or Customer’s use of a version of the Indemnified Materials after a subsequent functionally-equivalent version that is free from the IP Claim has been made available to Customer by Living Security. In the event of an IP Claim Living Security may terminate the Agreement without liability other than to refund to Customer prepaid fees for unused Services, provided that it has first used commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the claim, such as through the purchase of a license or the modification of the Indemnified Materials. This Section states Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of an IP Claim.
10.3.3 Indemnification Procedures. The indemnified party shall provide the indemnifying party with prompt notice on learning of any indemnified Claim or IP Claim, provided that the failure to provide prompt notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section except to the extent the failure adversely affected the defense or resolution of the Claim or IP Claim. The indemnifying party shall defend the Claim or IP Claim unless it tenders the defense to the indemnified party by written notice, in which case the indemnified party shall defend the Claim or IP Claim. The party required to defend the Claim or IP Claim shall control the defense of the claim, including selection of counsel, provided that the non-defending party may participate in the defense of a Claim or IP Claim with counsel of its choice at its expense. The non-defending party shall promptly comply with the reasonable requests of the defending party for information and assistance in connection with the defense of the Claim or IP Claim. The defending party may settle a Claim or IP Claim provided that the settlement fully resolves the liability of the indemnitees with respect to the Claim, and provided that the advance written consent of the non-defending party is required if the settlement requires any statement of culpability.
10.5 Exclusion of Consequential, Indirect Damages. Except for claims arising from a party’s breach of Section 12.2 (Confidential Information), or claims based on the party’s intentional breach of the other party’s intellectual property rights, neither party nor its affiliates, licensors, suppliers, resellers, distributors or subcontractors is liable to the other for any lost profits, lost revenue, lost business opportunity, or any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, or consequential loss or damage of any kind arising in connection with this Agreement, or any loss or damage that could have been avoided by the claiming party’s reasonable mitigation, even if the party has been advised of or should be aware of the possibility of such damages. For avoidance of doubt, damages of the type described in this subsection that are awarded by a court or other tribunal to a third party as part of Losses covered under Section 10.3 (Indemnification) are not excluded by this Subsection.
10.6 Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, excluding the Liability Cap Exceptions, as defined below, the maximum aggregate liability of a party and its Affiliates, and their respective licensors, suppliers, resellers, distributors, and subcontractors under or in connection with this Agreement for any type of damages, claims or obligations shall not exceed the following: (i) for indemnification obligations for Privacy, Security Claims covered under Subsection 10.3.1 (i), two times the amount of fees paid or payable by Customer under the Order giving rise to the claim for the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim; and (ii) for all other claims and obligations the amount of fees paid or payable by Customer under the Order giving rise to the claim for the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. For clarity, the maximum aggregate monetary limit stated in this subsection is not “per incident” but is an aggregate limitation applicable to all claims arising under or regarding this Agreement.
The “Liability Cap Exceptions” are: claims and indemnification obligations arising from a party’s gross negligence, or willful misconduct; (ii) claims and indemnification obligations for personal injury or death or for damage to tangible (physical) personal property arising from a party’s negligence or other tort; (iii) Living Security’s obligations under Section 10.3.2 for an IP Claim; (iv) claims arising from a party’s intentional breach of Section 10.2 (Confidential Information); (iv) claims based on a party’s intentional infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s intellectual property rights; and (v) payment obligations under Section 7 (Fees and Payments).
10.7 General. Each party acknowledges that the other party has entered into this MSA and the Order(s) in reliance on the limitations of remedies and liability stated in this MSA, and that these limitations reflect an agreed allocation of risk between Customer and Living Security. The limitations stated in this Section shall apply to any liability arising from any cause of action whatsoever, whether in contract, tort, commercial code, strict liability or otherwise, even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. If these limitations as written are not permitted by applicable law, they shall apply to the extent permitted by applicable law.
11. Beta Services.
Living Security may invite Customer to test “Beta” services at no charge. Beta services will be designated as test, beta, pilot, limited release, developer preview, non-production, evaluation or with a similar description. Beta services are for evaluation purposes and not for production use, are not considered “Services” under this Agreement, are not supported, and may be subject to additional terms. Living Security may discontinue Beta Services at any time in its sole discretion and may never make the Beta Services generally available. If a generally available version is released, there may not be an automatic update path from the Beta version to the generally available version. If not earlier terminated, any Beta services trial period will expire on the date that the Beta service is released on a generally available basis. Beta Services are provided AS IS, and Living Security has no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with Customer’s use of a Beta Service. Living Security may terminate a Beta service and delete Customer’s files and related information at any time, for any or no reason.
12. General Terms.
12.1 Feedback. Customer agrees that Living Security is licensed to use and commercialize any feedback or suggestions that Customer provides regarding the Living Security Content, Technology, or Services to improve Living Security’s existing or future products and services on a perpetual basis without payment of any royalties or compensation to Customer and that Customer will not assert any patent or other claim against Living Security based on its use or commercialization of the feedback or suggestions.
12.2 “Confidential Information” means any non-public information that a party (the “recipient”) receives from or learns about the other party (the “discloser”) as a result of activities contemplated by the Agreement that the recipient should reasonably understand to be confidential, given the nature of the information or the circumstances of its disclosure, but not including any information that is developed by the recipient independently and without reference to the discloser’s Confidential Information, or information that is or becomes available from a source other than discloser so long as the source did not, to recipient’s knowledge, acquire the information as a result of a violation of a duty of confidentiality to discloser. For clarity, Customer’s Confidential Information includes Personal Data, and Living Security’s Confidential Information includes Content, Technology and information Customer learn about Living Security’s Services as part of the relationship contemplated by this Agreement. Recipient agrees not to use or disclose the discloser’s Confidential Information except to provide or use the Services, as applicable, or to exercise legal rights or obligations in connection with the Agreement. Recipient shall use reasonable care to protect the discloser’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure. Living Security’s use of reasonable care as to Customer’s Confidential Information that is part of Customer’s Content is met by the use of the safeguards described in Section 12.3 (Security). Recipient shall return or destroy the discloser’s Confidential Information on request, except as necessary for reasonable and customary business record-keeping purposes. Recipient is responsible for a breach of this Section by any person to whom it has disclosed the discloser’s Confidential Information to the same extent as for its own breach of this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, recipient may disclose discloser’s Confidential Information in response to a subpoena, request from law enforcement, or as otherwise required by law provided that it gives reasonable advance written notice of the disclosure (unless notice is prohibited by law).
12.3 Security. On request, Living Security will make available its materials describing its security safeguards and related audit and compliance reports (the “Security Materials”). Customer acknowledge that the Security Materials are Living Security’s sensitive Confidential Information and may be shared only with Customer’s Staff and professional advisors and consultants on a need-to-know basis. Living Security is not responsible to Customer or Customer’s users for any harm or damage resulting from a security incident except to the extent the security incident resulted from Living Security’s failure to provide the security safeguards described in the Security Materials.

The insurance must be placed with carriers that have an AM’s Best Rating of no less than A- VIII. The policies must provide coverage on a primary and noncontributory basis and Living Security agrees to waive, and will require its insurers to waive, all rights of subrogation against Company. Living Security shall cause its insurers to issue certificates evidencing the required coverages and as to the General Liability and Automobile Liability naming Company as additional insured, and shall provide the certificates to Company no later than thirty (30) days following the Effective Date of this Agreement. Living Security shall require its insurers to give Company at least thirty (30) days written notice of policy cancellation.
12.5 Governing Law, Disputes. The Agreement is governed by and should be interpreted under the laws of the State of Texas, and the United States of America, as applicable, without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the law of a different jurisdiction.

Each party agrees that it shall bring any lawsuit or other legal action related to this Agreement in the State or Federal courts sitting in Travis County, Texas. Neither party shall dispute the personal jurisdiction of such courts, and each party waives any objection it may have as to the venue of such court. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party irrevocably waives the right to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation arising out of this Agreement and the parties’ activities regarding this Agreement. A party may not bring an action in relation to this Agreement more than two (2) years after the date that the cause of action accrued. The prevailing party in any action to enforce this Agreement, including an action for equitable relief, may recover its costs and expenses of the action from the other party, including reasonable attorney fees.
12.6 Informal Dispute Resolution. Except as provided in Section 12.6 (Injunctive Relief) each party agrees that it will not file a lawsuit or other legal action in connection with the Services or the Agreement unless it has first given the other party written notice of the dispute, and attempted to resolve the dispute through good faith negotiation.
12.7 Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement does not prohibit, condition or delays a party’s right to seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to address the other party’s infringement or misappropriation of its intellectual property, or the other party’s breach of its confidentiality obligations under this Agreement.
12.8 Notices. Customer’s notices must be submitted via ticket on the customer portal, and copied by electronic mail to help@livingsecurity.com.

For example, Customer may not authorize any person to use the Services that is on the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons issued by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) or who is located in or is a national of any country that is embargoed under United States export laws; and Customer may not use or permit the use of the Services to process or store any data that is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations maintained by the U.S. Department of State, or permit the use of the Services by any person who Customer know or have reason to know will utilize them in the design, development or production of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, or rocket systems, space launch vehicles, or sounding rockets, or unmanned air vehicle systems. Each party represents that it is not on any restricted persons list maintained by the U.S., Canada, or any member of the European Union.

Each party represents that it has not received or been offered any illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift, or thing of value from the other’s employees or agents in connection with this Agreement.

If either party learns of any violation of the above restriction, it will promptly notify the other party.
12.11 Force Majeure. Except for Customer’s payment obligations, neither party is in violation of the Agreement if the failure to perform is due to an event beyond that party’s reasonable control, such as a significant failure of the power grid or Internet, denial of service attacks, natural disaster, war, riot, insurrection, epidemic, strikes or other organized labor action, terrorism, or other acts or events for which precautions are not generally taken in the industry.
12.12 Assignment. Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, either party may assign this Agreement in its entirety (including all Orders), without the other party’s consent to its affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns. Living Security remains responsible for its suppliers and subcontractors acts and omissions in breach of this Agreement to the same extent as for its own acts and omissions.
12.13 Publicity. With Customer’s prior written consent in each case Living Security may identify Customer in its marketing and sales materials and may include Customer’s Marks in an appropriate area of its website and marketing materials, provided that it does not state or imply that Customer endorse the Living Security Services.

Any goodwill accruing from Living Security’s use of Customer’s Marks shall accrue to Customer.
12.14 Relationship of the Parties. The parties are independent contractors. Neither party is the agent of the other, and neither party is authorized to make any representations, contract, or commitment on behalf of the other. The use of the words “partner” or “partnership” in this Agreement or otherwise refers only to a business relationship, and does not create or reflect any legal partnership, joint venture, or other fiduciary or other special relationship between the persons described as partners.
