|
methods, business plans, customers, business relations, technology, and
|
|
other information, including the terms of this Agreement, that is

|
|
to this Agreement. Each party shall take reasonable measures to protect

|
|
confidential and proprietary information.

|
|
"Confidential Information" shall not include information that (a) is or
|
|
becomes generally known to the public through no act or omission of the

|
|
prior to the disclosure hereunder and was not subject to limitations on
|
|
disclosure or use; (c) is developed by the Receiving Party without

access to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party or by
|
|
persons who have not had access to the Confidential Information of the
|
|
Disclosing Party as proven by the written records of the Receiving
|
|
Party; (d) is lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party without
|
|
restrictions, by a third party not under an obligation of
|
|
confidentiality; or (e) the Receiving Party is legally compelled to
|
|
disclose the information, in which case the Receiving Party shall assert
|
|
the privileged and confidential nature of the information and cooperate
|
|
fully with the Disclosing Party to protect against and prevent
|
|
disclosure of any Confidential Information and to limit the scope of
|
|
disclosure and the dissemination of disclosed Confidential Information
|
|
by all legally available means.
|
|
|
|
The obligations of the Receiving Party under this Section shall continue
|
|
during the Initial Term and for a period of five (5) years after

|
|
conflict with the terms of this Section 9, this Section 9 shall be
|
|
controlling over the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement.

|
|
Software. Licensee acknowledges (1) that some part of Third Party
|
|
Software may require additional licensing of copyright and patents from
|
|
the owners of such, and (2) that distribution of any of the Licensed
|
|
Software referencing any portion of a Third Party Software may require
|
|
appropriate licensing from such third parties.

7. LIMITED WARRANTY AND WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
|
|
|
|
The Licensed Software is licensed to Licensee "as is". To the maximum
|
|
extent permitted by applicable law, The Qt Company on behalf of itself and
|
|
its suppliers, disclaims all warranties and conditions, either express or
|
|
implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of
|
|
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and
|
|
non-infringement with regard to the Licensed Software.
|

|
|
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
|
|
|
|
If, The Qt Company's warranty disclaimer notwithstanding, The Qt Company is
|
|
held liable to Licensee, whether in contract, tort or any other legal theory,
|
|
based on the Licensed Software, The Qt Company's entire liability to Licensee
|
|
and Licensee's exclusive remedy shall be, at The Qt Company's option, either
|
|
(A) return of the price Licensee paid for the Licensed Software, or (B)
|
|
repair or replacement of the Licensed Software, provided Licensee
|
|
returns to The Qt Company all copies of the Licensed Software as originally
|
|
delivered to Licensee. The Qt Company shall not under any circumstances be
|
|
liable to Licensee based on failure of the Licensed Software if the failure
|
|
resulted from accident, abuse or misapplication, nor shall The Qt Company
|
|
under any circumstances be liable for special damages, punitive or exemplary
|
|
damages, damages for loss of profits or interruption of business or for
|
|
loss or corruption of data. Any award of damages from The Qt Company to
|
|
Licensee shall not exceed the total amount Licensee has paid to
|
|
The Qt Company in connection with this Agreement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. CONFIDENTIALITY
|
|
|
|
Each party acknowledges that during the Term of this Agreement it shall
|
|
have access to information about the other party's business, business
|
|
methods, business plans, customers, business relations, technology, and
|
|
other information, including the terms of this Agreement, that is
|
|
confidential and of great value to the other party, and the value of
|
|
which would be significantly reduced if disclosed to third parties (the
|
|
"Confidential Information"). Accordingly, when a party (the "Receiving
|
|
Party") receives Confidential Information from another party (the
|
|
"Disclosing Party"), the Receiving Party shall, and shall obligate its
|
|
employees and agents and employees and agents of its Affiliates to: (i)
|
|
maintain the Confidential Information in strict confidence; (ii) not
|
|
disclose the Confidential Information to a third party without the
|
|
Disclosing Party's prior written approval; and (iii) not, directly or
|
|
indirectly, use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than
|
|
for exercising its rights and fulfilling its responsibilities pursuant
|
|
to this Agreement. Each party shall take reasonable measures to protect
|
|
the Confidential Information of the other party, which measures shall
|
|
not be less than the measures taken by such party to protect its own
|
|
confidential and proprietary information.
|
|
|
|
"Confidential Information" shall not include information that (a) is or
|
|
becomes generally known to the public through no act or omission of the
|
|
Receiving Party; (b) was in the Receiving Party's lawful possession
|
|
prior to the disclosure hereunder and was not subject to limitations on
|
|
disclosure or use; (c) is developed by the Receiving Party without
|
|
access to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party or by
|
|
persons who have not had access to the Confidential Information of the
|
|
Disclosing Party as proven by the written records of the Receiving
|
|
Party; (d) is lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party without
|
|
restrictions, by a third party not under an obligation of
|
|
confidentiality; or (e) the Receiving Party is legally compelled to
|
|
disclose the information, in which case the Receiving Party shall assert
|
|
the privileged and confidential nature of the information and cooperate
|
|
fully with the Disclosing Party to protect against and prevent
|
|
disclosure of any Confidential Information and to limit the scope of
|
|
disclosure and the dissemination of disclosed Confidential Information
|
|
by all legally available means.
|
|
|
|
The obligations of the Receiving Party under this Section shall continue
|
|
during the Initial Term and for a period of five (5) years after
|
|
expiration or termination of this Agreement. To the extent that the
|
|
terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement between The Qt Company and Licensee
|
|
conflict with the terms of this Section 9, this Section 9 shall be
|
|
controlling over the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. GENERAL PROVISIONS

apply unless expressly accepted by The Qt Company in writing. If any provision
|
|
of the Agreement is found void or unenforceable, the remainder shall remain
|
|
valid and enforceable according to its terms. If any remedy provided is
|
|
determined to have failed for its essential purpose, all limitations of
|
|
liability and exclusions of damages set forth in this Agreement shall
|
|
remain in effect.

|
|
the Licensed Software and shall procure all necessary governmental

|
