9.3. Security Measures. Brainner implements and will maintain commercially reasonable security measures to safeguard Customer Data.

10. Confidential Information

10.1. Definition: "Confidential Information" refers to all confidential data shared by one party ("Disclosing Party") with another ("Receiving Party"), whether through speech, electronically, or in writing, identified as confidential or naturally considered confidential due to the context and circumstances of the disclosure. This includes, but is not limited to, each party's business and marketing strategies, pricing details, technologies, product designs, and business processes. Confidential Information does not include data that is public knowledge, previously known to the Receiving Party, received from an unrelated third party, or independently developed by the Receiving Party without using the disclosed information.

10.2. Protection: The Receiving Party must protect the Confidential Information with the same care it uses for its own similar information, but no less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party will not use the Confidential Information for purposes outside this Agreement and will restrict access to employees, contractors, and agents who need it for activities related to this Agreement and who have agreed to similar confidentiality terms. The Receiving Party is responsible for ensuring these individuals comply with these confidentiality obligations. Disclosure of this Agreement's terms to third parties such as affiliates, legal advisors, and accountants, or as necessary to enforce rights under this agreement, requires the other party's written consent.

10.3. Compelled Disclosure: If the law requires the Receiving Party to disclose Confidential Information, they must notify the Disclosing Party in advance (when legally permissible) and assist in contesting the disclosure, if desired, at the Disclosing Party's expense. If disclosure is legally mandated during a civil proceeding where the Disclosing Party is involved and not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party must cover any reasonable costs incurred by the Receiving Party in providing this information securely.

11. Representations and Warranties

11.1 Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that: (a) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a corporation or other entity as represented herein under the laws and regulations of its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or chartering; (b) it has the right, power and authority to enter the Agreement and to grant the rights granted hereunder and to perform all of its obligations hereunder; (c) the execution of any Order Form(s) incorporating this Agreement by its representative whose signature is set forth therein has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or organizational action of the Party; (d) when any Order Form incorporating this Agreement is executed and delivered by both Parties, this Agreement will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms; and (e) it will abide by all applicable laws and regulations related to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

An Indemnified Claim refers to any third-party claim, suit, or proceeding arising from or related to the Customer's actual or alleged use, misuse, or failure to use the Service.

The Customer's responsibilities under this section include hiring and compensating attorneys, covering court costs, and managing settlements or judgment payments at the Customer’s expense. Brainner reserves the right, which will not be exercised unreasonably, to reject any settlement or compromise that implicates it in wrongdoing, liability, or that imposes any ongoing obligations.

The limitations of liability set forth in this section apply to: (a) Any claims of negligence, (b) All types of legal claims, including but not limited to contract, tort, strict liability, and any other legal theory, (c) Cases where Brainner was previously advised of the potential for such damages and regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable, (d) Situations where the provided remedies do not accomplish their fundamental purposes. If the laws in force limit the application of these limitations, Brainner’s liability will be restricted to the fullest extent permitted by law. For clarity, the limitations of liability and other rights outlined in this section also extend to Brainner's affiliates, licensors, suppliers, advertisers, agents, sponsors, directors, officers, employees, consultants, and other representatives.

15. Miscellaneous

15.1 Independent Contractors. The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors. Each party shall present itself as such in all matters. Neither party acts as the agent for the other nor has the authority to make commitments or representations on behalf of the other.

15.2 Publicity. The Customer authorizes Brainner to include the Customer's name and company logo in Brainner’s customer list and permits the use of the Customer's name and logo in Brainner’s sales, marketing, and business development activities.

15.4 Amendment. Brainner reserves the right to modify this Agreement periodically by updating the terms on its website. The updated Agreement will be considered accepted and will take effect 30 days after its posting (the “Proposed Amendment Date”), unless the Customer provides Brainner with written notification of rejection before the 30 days are up. If the Customer rejects the updated terms, the Agreement will continue to be governed by its original terms until the commencement of the next subscription Term after the Proposed Amendment Date, provided that the Customer has not terminated the Agreement under Section 7, Term and Termination. Continued use of the Service after the new terms have taken effect indicates the Customer’s acceptance of the changes. Other than by posting on its website, this Agreement can only be modified through a written document signed by duly authorized representatives of both parties. Despite the above, Brainner may update the Privacy Policy at any time by posting a new version on its website, and such updates will take effect immediately upon posting.
