3.1. Confidential Information. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Parties define “Confidential Information” to mean any of the information disclosed under this Agreement that is designated by the disclosing party as proprietary or confidential, or that should be reasonably understood to be proprietary or confidential due to its nature and the circumstances of its disclosure.

3.2. Obligations. As a receiving party, each party will (a) hold in confidence and not disclose Confidential Information to third parties except as permitted in this Agreement, and (b) only use Confidential Information to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights in this Agreement. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, and other representatives having a legitimate need to know such Confidential Information, provided the receiving party remains responsible for their compliance with this Section 3 (Confidentiality) and such parties are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective than this Section 3 (Confidentiality).

5.1. Use of Customer Data to Provide the Service. GitLive needs a limited license to Customer Data in order to provide the Service. For example, the Service and related features may create visualization aides, such as dashboards, charts, and graphs, which requires, among other rights, a right to create derivative works. Customer grants GitLive a non-exclusive, worldwide right to use, copy, store, transmit, display, modify, and create derivative works of the Customer Data, to the extent necessary to manage, improve, and provide the Service and related services, as well as to provide support to Customer.
5.2. Rights in Customer Data. The Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, content and legality of all Customer Data. The Customer represents and warrants to GitLive that (a) Customer has made all disclosures and has sufficient rights to use the Customer Data with the GitLive Service and grant the rights in Section 5.1 (Use of Customer Data) and (b) the provision and use of Customer Data does not infringe or violate applicable laws or the intellectual property, publicity, privacy or other rights of any third party.

The Customer may choose to use the GitLive Service with Separate Platforms. Use of Separate Platforms is subject to the Customer’s agreement with the relevant provider and not this Agreement. If the Customer enables a Separate Platform with the GitLive Service, GitLive may access and exchange Customer Data with the Separate Platform on the Customer’s behalf. GitLive does not control and has no liability for Separate Platforms, including their security, functionality, operation, availability or interoperability or how the Separate Platforms or their providers use Customer Data (unless agreed in the Subscription Agreement for the GitLive Services themselves).
Your employees and contractors may use the GitLive Service on your behalf (each, a “User”). Each User may be required to provide a username, email address, password or other personal information to create and manage an account (“Login Credentials”) and must keep its Login Credentials confidential and not share them with anyone. GitLive uses and collects Login Credentials in accordance with the GitLive Privacy Policy. The Customer is responsible for its Users’ compliance with this Agreement and the actions taken through their accounts. The Customer will promptly notify GitLive if it becomes aware of any compromise of its Login Credentials.
This Agreement will start on the Effective Date and will terminate upon either party’s notice to the other of termination of this Agreement (with or without cause) (“Term”). GitLive may also suspend this Agreement or the Customer’s use of the GitLive Service for no reason or any reason upon notice to the Customer. Upon termination, the Customer must cease using the GitLive Service, and, at GitLive’s request, return or destroy (and certify destruction of) any Documentation or other Confidential Information provided by GitLive. After termination, the Customer will have no further access to any Customer Data, and GitLive may delete Customer Data in accordance with its standard policies and procedures. GitLive will not have any liability resulting from termination or suspension of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Sections 1.3 (Restrictions), 2 (Feedback), 3 (Confidentiality), 5 (Customer Data), 6 (Intellectual Property Rights), 7 (Separate Platforms) (with respect to disclaimers), 9 (Termination and Suspension), 10 (Disclaimers), 11 (Limitations of Liability), 16 (General), 17 (GitLive Entity and Law and Jurisdiction) and 18 (Definitions) will survive termination of this Agreement.
The GitLive Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”, and use is at the Customer’s sole discretion and risk.

IF THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER OF DIRECT DAMAGES IS NOT ENFORCEABLE AT LAW, GITLIVE’S ENTIRE AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE LIMITED TO FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US $50.00). THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
The Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless GitLive from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with (a) the Customer’s use of the GitLive Service, (b) the Customer’s breach of this Agreement, and (c) any Customer Data. GitLive may participate in the defense and settlement of any claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. The Customer may not settle a claim without the prior written consent of GitLive (not to be unreasonably withheld).
The Plugins may incorporate third-party open source software (“Third-Party Open Source”), as listed in the Documentation or by GitLive upon request. To the extent required by the applicable open source license, that license will apply to the Third-Party Open Source on a stand-alone basis instead of this Agreement.
GitLive may modify this Agreement from time to time. GitLive will use reasonable efforts to notify the Customer of modifications as provided in Section 15 (Notices). The Customer may be required to click through the modified Agreement to show its acceptance and in any event the Customer’s continued use of the GitLive Service after the modification constitutes the Customer’s acceptance of the modifications. If the Customer does not agree to the modified Agreement, the Customer’s sole remedy is to terminate its use of the GitLive Service as described in Section 9 (Termination and Suspension).
GitLive may provide the Customer with notices and communications at the Customer’s email or physical address on file, through the GitLive Service or other reasonable means.

Except as otherwise provided herein, all amendments or modifications must be in writing and signed by both parties. The words “including” and similar terms are to be construed without limitation. Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver and all waivers must be in writing. If any provision is found to be unenforceable it (and related provisions) will be interpreted to best accomplish its intended purpose. The Customer may not assign, transfer or delegate any right or obligations under this Agreement and any non-permitted assignment is void. GitLive may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations to any of its affiliates or in connection with a merger, reorganization, acquisition or other transfer of all or substantially all of its assets or voting securities to which this Agreement relates.
