Confidentiality.**‍A party that receives Confidential Information (“Receiving Party”) from the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) shall (i) use the same degree of care to protect the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party from unauthorized disclosure that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information of like kind, but never less than reasonable care, (ii) not use any Confidential Information of the other party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and (iii) not disclose Confidential Information to a third party, except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, and to limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to Receiving Party's employees and contractors who have a need to access Confidential Information for purposes consistent with the Agreement. Receiving Party shall ensure its employees and contractors who access Confidential Information have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. If Receiving Party is required by law or court order to disclose Confidential Information, then Receiving Party shall, to the extent legally permitted, provide Disclosing Party with advance written notification and cooperate in any effort to obtain confidential treatment of the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore agrees that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief in addition to remedies it might have at law and waives any requirement that the Disclosing Party post a bond or undertaking in relation thereto.6. Fees and Payment, Taxes, Payment Dispute, Resellers‍**6.1. Fees and Payment.‍All Fees and payment terms are as set forth in the applicable Order Form.

Taxes.Fees do not include Taxes. Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. If Patterns has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, Patterns will invoice Customer and Customer will pay that amount unless Customer provides Patterns with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Taxes may not be deducted by Customer from payments due Patterns, except as required by applicable law, in which case Customer will increase the amount payable as necessary so that Patterns receives and retains an amount of Fees equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. Upon Patterns' request, Customer will provide to Patterns its proof of withholding tax remittance to the respective tax authority. Where applicable, Customer will provide its VAT/GST Registration Number(s) on the Order Form to confirm the business use of the ordered services.‍6.3. Reseller Orders.**6.3.1 Purchase from Reseller.

If Customer has procured the Service, support, or Technical Services through Reseller, then different terms regarding invoicing, payment and taxes may apply as specified between Customer and the Reseller. Customer acknowledges that: (a) Patterns may share information with the Reseller related to Customer’s use and consumption of the Service, support or Technical Services; (b) the termination provisions set forth in the Agreement will also apply if Customer’s Reseller fails to pay applicable fees; and (c) Reseller is not authorized to make any changes to this Agreement or otherwise authorized to make any warranties, representations, promises or commitments on behalf of Patterns or in any way concerning the Service, support or Technical Services.7. Term and Termination‍**7.1. Term.‍This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and will remain in effect until terminated in accordance with its terms.

The Patterns personnel that Patterns assigns to perform the Technical Services will be professional and qualified in the performance of the applicable Technical Services. If Customer, in its reasonable judgement, believes that Patterns personnel assigned to a project do not meet the requirements in this section, Patterns will in good faith discuss alternatives and will replace Patterns personnel as reasonably necessary. Where expressly stated in an SOW, Patterns will not remove Personnel expressly named in the SOW without the prior written permission of Customer.‍10.2. Assistance.‍Customer acknowledges that timely access to applicable Customer Materials (defined below), resources, personnel, equipment, or facilities is necessary for the provision of Technical Services.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restrictions in Section 1.5, Patterns hereby grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable worldwide license to use the Deliverables internally solely in connection with such Customer’s use of the Service.‍10.6. Change Orders.‍**Customer may submit written requests to Patterns to change the scope of Technical Services under an existing Statement of Work.

Neither party is bound by a change request unless agreed in writing by both parties pursuant to a mutually executed amendment or change order (each, a “Change Order”). Patterns will continue to perform Technical Services pursuant to the existing Statement of Work unless the parties mutually agree to such amendment or change order.

Indemnification by Patterns.‍Patterns will defend Customer against any claim by a third party alleging that any Service or Deliverable, when used in accordance with this Agreement, infringes any intellectual property right of such third party and will indemnify Customer from and against any damages and costs awarded against Customer or agreed in settlement by Patterns, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from such claim. If Customer’s use of the Service or Deliverable result, or in Patterns' opinion is likely to result, in an infringement claim, Patterns may either: (a) substitute functionally similar products or services; (b) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Service or Deliverable; or if (a) and (b) are not commercially reasonable, (c) terminate this Agreement, or the applicable Order Form or SOW and refund to Customer the unused Fees that Customer has pre-paid for the applicable Service or Deliverable. The foregoing indemnification obligation of Patterns will not apply to the extent the applicable claim is attributable to: (1) the modification of the Service or Deliverable by any party other than Patterns or based on Customer’s specifications or requirements; (2) the combination of the Service or Deliverable with products or processes not provided by Patterns; (3) any use of the Service or Deliverables in non-conformity with this Agreement; or (4) any action arising as a result of Customer Data, or any deliverables or components not provided by Patterns. This section sets forth Customer’s sole remedy with respect to any claim of intellectual property infringement.‍11.2. Indemnification by Customer.‍Customer will defend Patterns against any claim by a third party arising from or relating to any Customer Data, Customer Materials or any Customer-offered product or service used in connection with the Service and will indemnify and hold harmless Patterns from and against any damages and costs awarded against Patterns or agreed in settlement by Customer, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from such claim.‍11.3.

However, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any litigation expenses that the indemnified party incurred prior to the time when notice is given or for any damages and/or costs resulting from any material prejudice caused by the delay or failure to provide notice to the indemnifying party in accordance with this section. The indemnifying party may not settle any claim that would bind the indemnified party to any obligation, other than payment covered by the indemnifying party or ceasing to use infringing materials, or require any admission of fault by the indemnified party, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any indemnification obligation under Section 11 will not apply if the indemnified party settles or makes any admission with respect to a claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent.12.
