Definition. “Confidential Information” means information disclosed to the receiving party (“Recipient”) under this Agreement that is (a) marked by the disclosing party (“Discloser”) as proprietary or confidential, (b) if disclosed orally, is designated as proprietary or confidential at the time of disclosure, or (c) should reasonably be understood to be confidential by the Recipient.

    2. Obligations. As Recipient, each party will: (a) hold Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose it to third parties except as permitted in this Agreement; and (b) only use Confidential Information to fulfill its obligations and exercise its rights in this Agreement. At Discloser’s request, Recipient will delete all Confidential Information, except, in the case where WarpStream is the Recipient, WarpStream may retain the Customer’s Confidential Information to the extent required to continue to provide the Platform Offering. Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors, and other representatives having a legitimate need to know, provided it remains responsible for their compliance with this Section 10 and they are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective than this Section 10.

    4. Remedies. Unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information may cause substantial harm for which damages alone are an insufficient remedy. Each party may seek appropriate equitable relief, in addition to other available remedies, for breach or threatened breach of this Section 10.

    5. Required Disclosures. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits either party from making disclosures, including of Customer Data and other Confidential Information, if required by Law, subpoena, or court order, provided (if permitted by Law) it notifies the other party in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment.

  11. Trials. If Customer or its Users receive access to or use of Platform Offering or features thereof on a free or trial basis or as an alpha, beta, or early access offering (collectively, “Trials”), such access to or use is permitted only for Customer’s internal evaluation and testing purposes during the period designated by WarpStream (not to exceed thirty 30 days unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing). Trials will be considered part of the Platform Offering and, subject to the remainder of this Section, all provisions of this Agreement relating to the Platform Offering will apply to Trials. Trials are optional and either party may terminate Trials at any time for any reason. Trials may be inoperable, incomplete, or include features that WarpStream may never release, and their features and performance information are deemed to be WarpStream’s Confidential Information. WarpStream may suspend Customer’s and its Users’ access to the Trials at any time. Customer’s and its Users’ use of Trials is at their own risk. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, WARPSTREAM PROVIDES NO WARRANTY, INDEMNITY, OR SUPPORT FOR TRIALS AND BETAS, AND OUR LIABILITY FOR TRIALS WILL NOT EXCEED US $50.00.

  12. Modifications. WarpStream may modify this Agreement from time to time with notice to Customer. Modifications take effect at Customer’s next Subscription Term or Order unless WarpStream indicates an earlier effective date. If WarpStream requires modifications with an earlier effective date and Customer objects, Customer’s exclusive remedy is to terminate this Agreement with notice to WarpStream, in which case WarpStream will provide Customer a refund of any pre-paid Fees for the terminated portion of the current Subscription Term. To exercise this termination right, Customer must notify WarpStream of its objections within 30 days after WarpStream’s notice of the modified Agreement . Once the modified Agreement takes effect Customer’s continued use of the Platform Offering constitutes its acceptance of the modifications. WarpStream may require Customer to click to accept the modified Agreement.

This Agreement, including any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into this Agreement, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Customer and WarpStream regarding your use of the Platform Offering. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect WarpStream’s right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by WarpStream of any breach or default of this Agreement, or any provision of this Agreement, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself.
