1. License.

1.1 License Terms.

1.1 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Confluent grants to Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license during the Term of this Agreement to install and use Confluent’s proprietary software (“Proprietary Confluent Software”) only on servers owned or controlled by Customer and solely for Customer’s internal business operations. Confluent also makes available to Customer certain open source software as identified at /third_party_software (the “Third Party Software”). To the extent the terms of open source licenses applicable to Third Party Software prohibit any of the restrictions in this Agreement, such restrictions will not apply to such Third Party Software. To the extent the terms of open source licenses applicable to Third Party Software require Confluent to make an offer to provide source code or related information in connection with the Third Party Software, such offer is made. The Proprietary Confluent Software and the Third Party Software shall be referred to collectively as the “Confluent Platform.”

1.2 Additional Restrictions on Use. Customer shall not, and shall not permit or encourage any third party to: (a) use the Proprietary Confluent Software for third-party training, software-as-a-service, time-sharing or service bureau use or (b) disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer any portions of the Proprietary Confluent Software that are not provided in source code format, or otherwise attempt to gain access to the source code to such Proprietary Confluent Software (or the underlying ideas, algorithms, structure or organization of the object code in the Proprietary Confluent Software). The foregoing restriction is inapplicable to the extent prohibited by applicable law; provided that, in the event that Customer intends to disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer such Proprietary Confluent Software, Customer shall first provide Confluent with written notice thereof.

1.3 Copies. Section 1.1 includes the right for Customer to make copies of the Proprietary Confluent Software as necessary to exercise the licenses granted in Section 1.1, and a reasonable number of back-up or archival copies, provided that each such copy shall include Confluent’s copyright and any other proprietary notices that appear on the original copies of the Proprietary Confluent Software.

1.4 Confluent Audit Rights. Confluent reserves the right, upon prior notice to Customer, to audit usage of the Proprietary Confluent Software at Customer’s premises (and at the premises of or via virtual access to Customer’s hosting providers) during normal business hours to verify Customer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable usage restrictions set forth on the Reseller Order Form. If Confluent determines as a result of such audit that any fees are due from Customer to Confluent under the terms of this Agreement, Customer shall immediately pay such amounts due along with interest in an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the underpayment per month, or at the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, calculated monthly from the date the underpayment was due until the date payment is made; and if such amount exceeds five percent (5%) of the cumulative fees previously paid under the applicable Reseller Order Form, Customer shall reimburse Confluent for the reasonable cost of such audit.

1.5 Reservation of Rights. Confluent reserves all rights not expressly granted in this Section. No rights are granted by implication.

1.6 Delivery of Materials. The Confluent Platform, and any versions, updates or maintenance releases of any component thereof, will be delivered only through an electronic transfer. The parties shall reasonably cooperate to effectuate such delivery via FTP or other reasonable means.

2. Payment. Notwithstanding any contrary provision, Customer shall pay Reseller the fees in the amount set forth in the Reseller Order Form (the “Fees”) in accordance with the terms set forth therein.

3. Ownership. Customer acknowledges that Confluent or its licensors retain all proprietary rights, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Confluent Platform and any changes, corrections, bug fixes, enhancements, updates and other modifications thereto (collectively, “ Modifications”) made by or on behalf of Customer, and as between the parties all such rights shall vest in Confluent. Customer acknowledges that the licenses granted in Section 1.1 do not include the right to prepare any Modifications of the Confluent Platform.

4. Confidentiality.

4.1 Nondisclosure. Each party shall retain in confidence the non-public information and know-how disclosed or made available by the other party pursuant to this Agreement which is either designated in writing as proprietary and/or confidential, if disclosed in writing, or if disclosed orally, is designated in writing (which may be via email) as confidential within thirty (30) days of the oral disclosure or should reasonably be understood to be confidential by the recipient (the “Confidential Information”); provided, however that Modifications will be the Confidential Information of Confluent and not Customer. The Proprietary Confluent Software, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be Confluent’s Confidential Information regardless of whether marked as such. Each party agrees to: (a) maintain the confidentiality of the other party’s Confidential Information; (b) refrain from using the other party’s Confidential Information except for the purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement; and (c) not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party except to employees and subcontractors as is reasonably required in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (and only subject to binding written use and disclosure restrictions at least as protective as those set forth herein). Each party shall immediately notify the other party of any unauthorized disclosure or use of any Confidential Information and assist the other party in remedying such unauthorized use or disclosure by taking such steps as are reasonably requested by such other party. The foregoing obligations will not apply to Confidential Information of the other party which is: (i) already publicly known without breach of this Agreement; (ii) discovered or created by the receiving party without use of, or reference to, the Confidential Information of the disclosing party, as shown in records of the receiving party; (iii) otherwise known to the receiving party through no wrongful conduct of the receiving party, or (iv) required to be disclosed by law or court order; provided that the receiving party shall provide prompt notice thereof and reasonable assistance to the disclosing party to enable the disclosing party to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or restrict such disclosure. Moreover, either party hereto may disclose any Confidential Information hereunder to such party’s agents, attorneys and other representatives (and only subject to confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those set forth herein and such party will ensure their compliance therewith) or any court of competent jurisdiction as reasonably required to resolve any dispute between the parties hereto.

4.2 Remedies. Each party acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of this Section may cause irreparable injury to the disclosing party and that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, in law, in equity or otherwise, the disclosing party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against the threatened breach of this Agreement or the continuation of any such breach by the receiving party, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided by law.

5. Limited Warranty and Support.

5.1 Scope of Limited Warranty. Confluent warrants to Customer that for a period of thirty (30) days after the first delivery of the Proprietary Confluent Software by Confluent to Customer, the Proprietary Confluent Software, in the form delivered by Confluent to Customer, will perform substantially in accordance with the written documentation therefor. This limited warranty shall not apply if the Proprietary Confluent Software has been: (i) altered or modified; (ii) subjected to negligence, computer or electrical malfunction; or (iii) used, adjusted, installed or operated (A) other than in accordance with this Agreement or the instructions furnished by Confluent or (B) with an application or in an environment other than that intended or recommended by Confluent.

5.2 Exclusive Remedy. Confluent’s sole liability and Customer’s exclusive remedy under the limited warranty set forth above shall be, at Confluent’s election, to attempt, through reasonable efforts and where technically feasible, to correct any failure of the Proprietary Confluent Software to conform to its written documentation or to replace the non-conforming software.  The above remedy is available only if (a) discovery of the non-conformity occurs during the applicable warranty period, (b) Customer notifies Confluent in writing by Customer of such discovery within the warranty period, and (c) Confluent’s examination of Proprietary Confluent Software discloses that such non-conformity exists.

EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS, LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION, CONFLUENT MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE CONFLUENT PLATFORM OR ANY OTHER MATERIALS OR SUPPORT SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER. CONFLUENT SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NONINFRINGEMENT AND THOSE ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OR TRADE, AND ALL SUCH WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, THE CONFLUENT PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

6. Infringement Indemnification. Confluent shall defend or at its option settle, at its own expense, any third-party claim, demand or lawsuit brought against Customer to the extent alleging facts that, if true would constitute an infringement by the Proprietary Confluent Software of such third party’s intellectual property right, and will pay such damages or costs as are finally awarded against Customer attributable to such action, provided that Customer: (a) notifies Confluent promptly in writing of any such action; (b) gives Confluent sole control of the defense or settlement of such action; and (c) gives Confluent all reasonable information and assistance, at Confluent’s expense. Should the Proprietary Confluent Software become, or in the opinion of Confluent be likely to become, the subject of such an infringement claim, Confluent may, at its option: (i) procure for Customer the right to use the Proprietary Confluent Software, as applicable, at no charge to Customer; (ii) replace or modify, in whole or in part, the Proprietary Confluent Software, as applicable, to make it non-infringing; or (iii) accept return of the Proprietary Confluent Software, or remove the allegedly offending module thereof, and, refund a pro rata portion of the Fees paid by Customer to Reseller for the then-current Term. Confluent assumes no liability hereunder for any claim of infringement to the extent based on: (x) use of software other than a current unaltered release of the Confluent Platform, as applicable, as provided by Confluent to Customer; or (y) the combination, operation or use of the Proprietary Confluent Software, with non-Confluent programs or data other than those intended or recommended by Confluent. THIS SECTION SETS FORTH CONFLUENT’S ENTIRE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

7. Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR BREACH OF SECTION 1.1 OR 1.2, BREACH OF SECTION 4, AND INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS:

(B) NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS, CONTRACTS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, PRODUCTION, ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF DATA, OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM OR DEMAND BY ANY OTHER PARTY, HOWEVER CAUSED AND (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.

8. Term and Termination.
