7.1. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the maximum liability of the Parties arising out of this Agreement will not in any event exceed the Fees paid by the Customer to Planck Security for the use of the Licensed Software during the preceding twelve (12) month period, except (i) in respect of the indemnification obligations set forth in article 8 of these PSTC, or (ii) in case of fraud or willful misconduct.
7.2. In no event will Planck Security, its licensors or its suppliers have any liability to the Customer for any consequential or incidental losses, including but not limited to lost profits, loss of business, loss of use or of data, any unauthorized access to, alteration, theft or destruction of Customer’s or its trading partners’ computers, computer systems, data files, programs or information, or costs of procurement of substitute goods or services, or for any indirect, special or consequential damages however caused and under any theory of liability and whether or not Planck Security has been advised of the possibility of such damage.8.1. By Planck Security. Planck Security will defend and indemnify the Customer against any founded and well-substantiated claims brought by Third Parties to the extent such claim is based on an infringement of any Intellectual Property Right of such Third Party by the Licensed Software, excluding any claims resulting from (i) any unauthorized use of the Licensed Software, (ii) modification to the Licensed Software made by the Customer, its employees or any Third Party, (ii) failure of the Customer to use updated or modified Licensed Software provided by Planck Security to avoid a claim of infringement or misappropriation, (iii) combination of the Licensed Software with other systems, products, processes or materials to the extent that such claim would have been avoided without such combination use of the Licensed Software.
Such indemnity obligation will be conditional upon the following: (i) Planck Security is given prompt written notice of any such claim; (ii) Planck Security is granted sole control of the defense and settlement of such a claim; (iii) upon Planck Security’s request, the Customer fully cooperates with Planck Security in the defense and settlement of such a claim, at Planck Security’s expense, and (iv) the Customer makes no admission as to Planck Security’s liability in respect of such a claim, nor does the Customer agree to any settlement in respect of such a claim without Planck Security’s prior written consent. Provided these conditions are met, Planck Security will indemnify the Customer for all direct damages and reasonable costs incurred by the Customer as a result of such a claim, as awarded by a competent court of final instance, or as agreed to by Planck Security pursuant to a settlement agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, it is specified that Planck Security will in no event be liable for any indirect loss, damage, cost, or expense of any kind whatsoever and howsoever caused, including but not limited to loss of profit.
In the event the Licensed Software or any part thereof, in Planck Security’s reasonable opinion, is likely to become the subject of a Third Party infringement claim, Planck Security will have the right, at its sole option and expense, to: (i) modify the (allegedly) infringing part of the Licensed Software so that it becomes non-infringing while preserving equivalent functionality; (ii) obtain for the Customer a license to continue using the Licensed Software in accordance with this Agreement; or (iii) terminate this Agreement and pay to the Customer an amount equal to a pro rata portion of the Fees for the remaining part of the Term.
The foregoing states the entire liability and obligation of Planck Security and will be the sole remedy of the Customer with respect to any infringement or alleged infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights of a Third Party caused by the Licensed Software or any part thereof.
8.2. By Customer. The Customer will defend and indemnify Planck Security against any founded and well-substantiated claims brought by Third Parties to the extent such claim is based on (i) an infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights of such Third Party by Customer Data or other Customer systems, materials or software, (ii) any breach or violation by the Customer or its personnel of any provisions of this Agreement, and/or (iii) fraud, intentional misconduct, or gross negligence committed by the Customer or its personnel. Such indemnity obligation will be conditional upon the following: (i) the Customer is given prompt written notice of any such claim; (ii) the Customer is granted sole control of the defense and settlement of such a claim; (iii) upon Customer’s request, Planck Security fully cooperates with the Customer in the defense and settlement of such a claim, at Customer’s expense, and (iv) Planck Security makes no admission as to the Customer’s liability in respect of such a claim, nor does Planck Security agree to any settlement in respect of such a claim without the Customer’s prior written consent. Provided these conditions are met, the Customer will indemnify Planck Security for all direct damages and reasonable costs incurred by Planck Security as a result of such a claim, as awarded by a competent court of final instance, or as agreed to by the Customer pursuant to a settlement agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, it is specified that the Customer will in no event be liable for any indirect loss, damage, cost or expense of any kind whatsoever and howsoever caused, including but not limited to loss of profit.

10.2. Neither Party will use any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or as expressly authorized in writing by the disclosing Party.

Neither Party is allowed to disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity other than the receiving Party’s officers, employees, consultants and legal advisors who have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound by similar confidentiality obligations as those set out in this Agreement. Each individual or entity receiving Confidential Information pursuant to this subsection must have entered into a written confidentiality agreement the sole objectives of which are to further the intent of this article 10. The Customer will not disclose, orally or in writing, any benchmark tests of the Licensed Software to any Third Party.

Unless a fixed number of hours of Professional Services is included in a Fee package as specified in the Quote, the Professional Services will be based on the actual hours and days worked and materials used.
11.4. Planck Security shall perform the Professional Services in a professional manner and shall use reasonable skill and care in performing the Professional Services.

11.5. The Customer shall co-operate with Planck Security and provide such assistance, information and equipment as reasonably requested by Planck Security to be able to adequately perform the Professional Services. Where performance of the Professional Services is delayed by the Customer (or a third party acting under the Customer’s control or on the Customer’s behalf), including as a result of Customer dependencies not being met, any costs incurred by Planck Security as a result thereof shall be paid by the Customer. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that in the event the Customer fails to fulfil any of its obligations under the Agreement or a Quote or should any assumptions specified in a Quote prove incorrect, the timeline and fees as specified in the relevant Quote may be adversely impacted.

Unless set forth in the applicable Quote, the Notice Period shall be 30 days in case of monthly subscription and 90 days in case of annual subscription.

14.2. Severability.

14.3. No Agency. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between Customer and Planck Security as a result of this Agreement or use of the Licensed Software.
14.4. No Waiver. The failure of a Party to enforce any right or provision in this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by that Party in writing.
14.5. Force Majeure. Except for the payment of the Fee by the Customer, if the performance of this Agreement by either Party is prevented, hindered, delayed or otherwise made impracticable by reason of any flood, riot, fire, judicial or governmental action, labor disputes, power failures, cybercrime, unauthorized access to Planck Security’s information technology systems by Third Parties, or any other causes beyond the control of such Party, that Party will be excused from such to the extent that it is prevented, hindered or delayed by such causes.
