The foregoing obligations of Petapilot are subject to the following requirements: you shall promptly notify Petapilot of any and all such suits and causes of action; and Petapilot controls any negotiations or defense of such suits and causes of action, and you assist as reasonably required by Petapilot.

This Section states Petapilot’s entire liability and your exclusive remedies for infringement of intellectual property rights of any kind.
This Section 9 shall supersede all previous Nondisclosure/Confidentiality Agreements that may exist between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. “Confidential Information” means any non-public financial, business and other information, in whatever form or medium, that is furnished, including technical data, software, source code, object code, specifications, pricing know-how or business information specific to You or Petapilot which is marked as confidential or contain a similar legend or which, given the nature of the information and circumstances of disclosure, would reasonably be confidential. Confidential Information does not include information which (a) was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed or becomes in the public domain through no fault of the receiver; (b) can be shown by written documentation to have been known to the receiver, without restriction, at the time of disclosure; (c) was independently developed by the receiver without any use of the discloser’s Confidential Information; or (d) becomes known to the receiver, without restriction, from a source other than the discloser without breach of any confidentiality agreement and otherwise not in violation of the discloser’s rights.

The parties agree that the pricing terms of any Order Document are Confidential Information of Petapilot. Each party will treat the Confidential Information of the other party in a confidential manner with the same degree of care as such party treats its own proprietary information of like importance, which will be no less than a reasonable degree of care. This Section will not prohibit disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body; provided, the receiver will furnish prompt notice thereof to enable the discloser to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent such disclosure. The obligations of this Section will survive termination for any reason for a period of three years. The parties agree that each party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief to protect its interests under this Section, including preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, as well as money damages. Nothing stated herein shall be construed to limit any other remedies available to the parties for breach of this Section.

A copy of all communications to Petapilot of a legal nature must be sent to Sovos Compliance, LLC Attention: Legal Department at 200 Ballardvale Street, Building 1, 4th Floor, Wilmington, MA 01887.
If Petapilot is unable to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement because of any event beyond its reasonable control and foreseeability, including, without limitation, any natural disaster, labor disputes, actions or decrees of governmental entities, riots, war, or terrorism, (a “Force Majeure Event”), the obligations of Petapilot under this Agreement prevented by such Force Majeure Event will be suspended for the duration of the Force Majeure Event, provided that Petapilot exercises reasonable efforts to resume performance of such obligations as soon as possible despite such Force Majeure Event. The RACA Tool and Services are intended to assist Customer in managing aspects of its business and as such are dependent upon Customer’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement and as stated through the RACA Tool. Customer is solely responsible for any failure or delay in the performance of the Services or other obligation of Petapilot under this Agreement due to Customer’s failure or delay in performance, including any applicable late Fees under this Agreement, any applicable penalties, fines, interest or other assessments imposed on Customer, Petapilot or any third party, or any other liabilities or damages.

Petapilot agrees to treat all personally identifiable Tax Reporting Information consistent with the Privacy Policy. You represent and warrant to Petapilot that you have all necessary right, title, interest and consent necessary to allow Petapilot to use the Tax Reporting Information and Your Information for the purposes for which you provide such Tax Reporting Information and Your Information to Petapilot.

This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes and overrides all prior agreements on the same subject matter and shall govern all disclosures and exchanges of Confidential Information made by the parties previously hereto. This Agreement is governed by the laws of Portugal without giving effect to any applicable conflict of law provisions. Any dispute shall be litigated in the courts located in Portugal to whose exclusive jurisdiction the parties hereby consent. Petapilot may assign the Agreement to an affiliate, a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition or consolidation, or to the purchaser in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of its assets. You may not assign the Agreement, nor any of the rights or obligations under the Agreement, without the prior written consent of Petapilot. Any party hereto will be excused from performance under this Agreement for any period of time that the party is prevented from performing its obligations hereunder as a result of an act of God, war, utility or communication failures, or other cause beyond the party’s reasonable control. Both parties will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of a force majeure event. Petapilot may designate any agent or subcontractor to perform such tasks and functions to complete any Service covered under this Agreement. However, nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve Petapilot from responsibility for performance of its duties under the terms of this Agreement. The parties hereto expressly understand and agree that each party is an independent contractor in the performance of each and every part of the Agreement, is solely responsible for all of its employees and agents and its labor costs and expenses arising in connection therewith. No purchase order or other ordering or business processing document that purports to modify or supplement the text of this Agreement shall add to or vary the terms of this Agreement; any such ordering document shall be considered a purely administrative document on your behalf and shall not modify this Agreement. All such proposed variations or additions (whether submitted by either party) are objected to and deemed material unless agreed to in writing. Your employees, contractors, and clients are not intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement. If any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the entire Agreement, but rather the entire Agreement shall be construed as if not containing the particular invalid or unenforceable provision or provisions, and the rights and obligations of you and Petapilot shall be construed and enforced accordingly. The failure by a party at any time to enforce any right or remedy available to it under this Agreement with respect to any breach or failure by the other party shall not be construed to be a waiver of such right or remedy with respect to any other breach or failure by the other party. The parties agree that this Agreement may be signed electronically via check box, an “I accept” button, or other means clearly indicating acceptance of terms.
