Services; License

1. Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms, Kapeta shall provide the Customer with a developer platform (the “Platform”). The Platform allows the Customer to design software architectures, build their own components, and potentially utilize components created by other developers. Kapeta offers the capability for the Customer to deploy their built software application to a cloud provider that Kapeta supports. While Kapeta manages the system, the Customer retains access to their data. The Customer may incorporate components into the Platform by directly interfacing with the Kapeta user interface. The Customer acknowledges that the performance and efficacy of the Services might be compromised if they do not provide accurate and up-to-date information or configurations..
2. The Platform shall be provided and supported by Kapeta (the “Support Services“, and together with the Platform, the “Services“).
3. During the Term and subject to Customer’s compliance with the Terms, Kapeta grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited, revocable right for Authorized Users to use the Platform and the Services, for Customer’s business use, according to Kapeta’s Documentation.

2. Use Kapeta’s platform in a fashion consistent with the requirements set forth in the Documentation (or as otherwise specified by Kapeta). Using the Platform in a way not consistent with Kapeta’s guidelines may cause Customer software to be rejected by the Platform and Kapeta will have no responsibility for any related impact on Customer’s ability to access or use the Platform.
3. Manage and secure all login credentials used by Authorized Users in connection with their use of the Kapeta Platform and protect the same against unauthorized use or disclosure.

Fees are non-refundable except as required by law. Fees shall be due on receipt of the date of the invoice issued by Kapeta in accordance herewith. Fees shall be payable either monthly, annually or any other billing frequency offered by Kapeta. Kapeta may increase the Fees by written notice to the Customer or updates on the Pricing page of the website.

Intellectual Property Rights

1. All rights not expressly granted to You under these Terms are reserved by Kapeta. We reserve all rights, title and interest to the Services, the Platform, and any part thereof, and any of their related intellectual property rights. The Terms do not convey to You an interest in or to Kapeta’s intellectual property rights. Nothing in the Terms constitutes a waiver of Kapeta’s Intellectual Property Rights under any law. 
2. For avoidance of doubt, Kapeta will not seek to derive, reproduce, or otherwise utilize any Customer Data, for purposes other than processing and rendering the Customer Data for Customer’s use in the Platform. Customer shall be the exclusive owner of and retain all intellectual property rights and all other ownership interests in and to, the Customer Data (“Customer IPR”). 
3. Customer hereby grants to Kapeta a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, revocable, non-transferable, royalty-free, worldwide license during the Term to use all Customer Data provided to Kapeta by Customer in connection with these Terms, to permit Kapeta to perform the Services to Customer as set forth in these Terms, all subject to Kapeta’s compliance with applicable law and privacy regulations.
4. Kapeta monitors the performance and use of the Platform by its customers and collects data in connection therewith (the “Usage Data“). Kapeta may combine this Usage Data with other data (including anonymized elements of the Customer Data), and use such combined data, or a subset thereof, in an aggregate and anonymous manner (the “Aggregate Data“).  Customer agrees that Kapeta may collect, use, publish, and vend such Aggregate Data; provided, however, that such usage shall not, directly or indirectly, identify Customer, its Authorized Users, or any individual, or contain Customer’s confidential information. 
5. To the extent You provide us any feedback, comments or suggestions (“Feedback“), You grant us a royalty-free, fully paid up, worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable license to incorporate the Feedback into the Services or any of our current or future products or services. 

Confidentiality

1. For the purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” means any proprietary or trade secret information disclosed by one party (the “Disclosing Party“) to the other (the “Receiving Party“) which can be reasonably understood under the circumstances to be confidential, but excluding any information that: (i) is now or subsequently becomes generally available in the public domain through no fault or breach on the part of Receiving Party; (ii) the Receiving Party can demonstrate in its records to have had rightfully in its possession prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information by the Disclosing Party; (iii) the Receiving Party rightfully obtains from a third party who has the right to transfer or disclose it, without default or breach of these Terms; (iv) the Receiving Party can demonstrate in its records to have independently developed, without breach of these Terms and/or any use of or reference to the Confidential Information. For avoidance of doubt, Customer IPR shall be deemed Customer Confidential Information. 
2. The Receiving Party agrees (i) not to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any third parties other than to its directors, employees, advisors, or consultants (collectively, its “Agents“) on a “need to know” basis and provided that such Agents are bound by confidentiality obligations not less restrictive than those contained herein; (ii) not to use or reproduce any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for any purposes except to carry out its rights and responsibilities under these Terms; (iii) to keep the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information confidential using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, which shall in any event not be less than a reasonable degree of care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Receiving Party is required by legal process or applicable law, rule, or regulation to disclose any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, then prior to such disclosure, if legally allowed, Receiving Party will give prompt notice to the Disclosing Party so that it may seek a protective order or other appropriate relief. The confidentiality obligations hereunder shall expire five years from the date of termination or expiration of these Terms (and with respect to trade secrets- in perpetuity) and shall supersede any previous confidentiality undertakings between the parties.

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Kapeta, its affiliates, resellers, employees and agents (the “Indemnified Parties“) from and against all liabilities, damages, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any claim, demand, suit or proceeding by a third party alleging that your use of the Services infringes or misappropriates a third party’s intellectual property rights or violates applicable law or that your use of the Services is in violation of these Terms.
