7.2.2. Active Building will not defend or indemnify Customer if any Infringement Claim (a) is asserted by an Affiliate of Customer, (b) results from use of the Online Services or Online System in combination with any non-Active Building service or product to the extent that such Infringement Claim would not have been caused but for such combination, or (c) is based in whole or in part upon any Customer Content, to the extent that such Infringement Claim would not have been brought but for such Customer Content.

7.2.3. The indemnification obligations of Active Building hereunder are dependent upon Customer: (a) giving Active Building prompt written notice of such Infringement Claim, (b) permitting Active Building to defend or settle the Infringement Claim, (c) not at any time admitting liability in respect of the whole or any part of the Infringement Claim or agreeing to settle or dispose of the Infringement Claim, and (d) providing all reasonable assistance to Active Building in defending or settling the Infringement Claim.

8. Confidential Information

“Confidential Information” means non-public, confidential or proprietary information created or acquired by a party, including products, product designs, product data, product source code, trade secrets, pricing and discounts, supplier lists, network structure and addresses, IP addresses and other computer and network related information, any other data whether written, verbal or visual, connected to or related to the business and affairs of a party or any of its affiliates, and the form and substance of this Agreement; provided, however, that Confidential Information does not include information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the recipient or anyone to whom the recipient transmits the information, (ii) becomes available to the recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the disclosing party who, to the recipient’s knowledge, is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the disclosing party, (iii) was rightfully known to the recipient or in its possession prior to the date of disclosure by the disclosing party, or (iv) is independently developed by the recipient without benefit of or reference to the Confidential Information. No party will publish, disclose, copy, disseminate or in any manner utilize Confidential Information of the other party in its business or otherwise, for any purpose other than as contemplated herein unless compelled to do so by subpoena or compliance with other applicable law, prompt prior notice of which will be given to the other party. However, a party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to any of its affiliates, provided the disclosing party shall remain liable for such affiliate’s use of the Confidential Information. Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to protect and prevent disclosure of another party’s Confidential Information. Upon request, the recipient of Confidential Information will return all copies, written, photographic or otherwise duplicated to the owner and will not in any manner use, convey, disclose or disseminate such Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever, except as otherwise provided herein or required by applicable law.

9. Force Majeure

10. Limitation of Liability

THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF ACTIVE BUILDING AND CUSTOMER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR DAMAGES FROM ANY CAUSE RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY ACTIVE BUILDING FROM CUSTOMER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE DATE ON WHICH THE CLAIM AROSE.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL ACTIVE BUILDING BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR THE COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, LOST PROFITS, OR LOST DATA ARISING FROM ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF WHETHER SUCH CLAIM IS BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, (EVEN IF ACTIVE BUILDING OR ITS LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES).

THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages so some of the above limitations may not apply to Customer.

In the event of any dispute or controversy between the parties hereto of any kind or nature, upon the written request of either party, each of the parties will appoint a designated officer whose task it will be to meet for the purpose of resolving such dispute or controversy or to negotiate for an adjustment to such provision of this Agreement. Such officers will discuss the dispute or controversy and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the dispute or controversy or renegotiate the applicable section or provision without the necessity of any formal proceeding relating thereto.
