18. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION, AND SERVICES PROVIDED BY SENSU INC ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” SENSU INC MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SUCH AS WARRANTIES OF PERFORMANCE, NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Although Sensu Inc believes the Software to be reliable for business use, Sensu Inc does not warrant that operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or error-free. Sensu Inc does not warrant that its Services or the Software Updates will result in an improvement to the Software, a solution to any problem Customer may have with the Software, or error-free operation of the Software.

19. Limited Remedy

In case of any breach of warranty, Sensu Inc, at its discretion, will (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to correct any errors in the Software Updates provided to Customer or (b) refund to Customer the amount charged for the Services (or if the Services were covered by the License Fee, the amount that would have been charged to Customer if the Services had been charged on an hourly basis). THIS SECTION STATES SENSU INC’S SOLE OBLIGATION AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDY FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY.

20. Responsibility for Use

The Software is provided as a tool for Customer to use as Customer sees fit in its business. Customer is solely responsible for understanding the limitations of the Software. Sensu Inc is not responsible for any errors or omissions or for the results obtained from the use of the Software. Customer will indemnify Sensu Inc against any loss, liability, or costs (including reasonable attorney fees at trial or in any other proceeding) incurred on account of its use of the Software, whether or not attributable to the Software’s operation. Customer acknowledges that this section is an important term of this Agreement, that it permits Sensu Inc to provide the Software at a reasonable price, and that Sensu Inc would not provide the Software without this section. CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROTECTING ITS DATA USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE.

21. Limitation of Liability

SENSU INC’S LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER ON ANY CLAIM FOR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT DAMAGES AND SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. SENSU INC SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITITVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS PROFITS OR REVENUE) OF CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY, EVEN IF SENSU INC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. CUSTOMER MAY BRING NO ACTION, REGARDLESS OF FORM, ARISING OUT OF THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER MORE THAN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE ACCRUAL OF THE CLAIM ON WHICH THE CAUSE OF ACTION IS BASED. THE LIMITATION IN THIS PARAGRAPH DOES NOT APPLY TO SENSU INC’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 22.

22. Infringement

Sensu Inc will indemnify Customer for any costs, expenses, or damages finally awarded against Customer pursuant to any claim, demand, or cause of action (“Demand”) by a third party to the extent based upon a claim that the Software infringes such third party’s U.S. intellectual property rights. Sensu Inc’s obligations under this paragraph will not apply to any Demand to the extent it arises from (i) Sensu Core; (ii) Customer’s misuse of the Software or use of the Software outside the scope of this Agreement; or (iii) modification of the Software other than by Sensu Inc. If the Software is determined to infringe or, in Sensu Inc’s view, is likely to be found to infringe third-party rights, Sensu Inc will, at its sole option and its expense, either procure for Customer the right to continue using the Software or replace or modify the Software so that it becomes noninfringing. If, in Sensu Inc’s sole opinion, neither option is desirable, Sensu Inc may terminate the license and refund to Customer a pro rata portion of the applicable fees based on a 6month use period. The remedies stated in this SECTION are Customer’s sole and exclusive remedies in the event of infringement.

23. Transfer/Assignment

Subject to prior approval by Sensu Inc, Customer may transfer the Software to a single recipient on a permanent basis provided Customer retains no copies of the Software and the recipient agrees in writing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Sensu Inc may assign this Agreement at any time without prior consent of Customer.

Provisions regarding responsibility for use, rights in Software, and limitations, and all other provisions that could reasonably be expected to survive termination, will remain in effect following termination or expiration of this Agreement.

29. Independent Contractor Status
