Sections 2(f), 2(i), 4, 5, 6(d), 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 will survive termination of this Agreement, together with such other sections or terms as by their sense or meaning should survive such termination.

(e) Suspension of Sisu Platform Access. Sisu may suspend Subscriber’s and its Users’ access to the Sisu Platform if Subscriber is in material breach of this Agreement, including any non-payment of fees, subject to fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice and opportunity to cure such breach.

Confidentiality obligations shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

8. Personal Data and Account Security. Each party will collect and maintain all Personal Data of individuals contained in the Subscriber Data in compliance with applicable data privacy and protection laws, statutes, and regulations. Sisu agrees to maintain commercially reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Subscriber Data, including Personal Data.

SISU MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, whether arising by law, by reason of custom or usage of trade, or by course of dealing.

IN NO EVENT SHALL SISU BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA (EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE BAA), INTERRUPTIONS OF BUSINESS, OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR USE OF THE SISU PLATFORM, INCLUDING WHERE SUCH TYPES OF DAMAGES RELATE TO THE ACCIDENTAL OR UNLAWFUL DESTRUCTION, LOSS, ALTERATION, UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF, OR ACCESS TO PERSONAL DATA TRANSMITTED, STORED OR OTHERWISE PROCESSED, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAS NOTICE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE, AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY). SISU'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY SUBSCRIBER TO SISU DURING THE THREE (3) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

The Sisu Platform and related documentation are “Commercial Items”, as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. §2.101, consisting of “Commercial Computer Software” and “Commercial Computer Software Documentation”, as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. §12.212 or 48 C.F.R. §227.7202, as applicable. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. §12.212 or 48 C.F.R. §227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, as applicable, the Commercial Computer Software and Commercial Computer Software Documentation are being licensed to U.S. Government end users (a) only as Commercial Items and (b) with only those rights as are granted to all other end users pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(i) Notices. All notices required under this Agreement will be in writing and will be delivered personally, mailed by registered or certified mail with a return receipt requested, sent by commercial overnight delivery service with provisions for a receipt, or sent by e-mail, to the address of the receiving party set forth in the applicable Subscription Order or such other address a party may specify by written notice. Notices shall be presumed to have been received by the other party (i) upon receipt if sent by hand delivery, registered or certified mail, or delivery service; or (ii) if sent by email, upon confirmation of receipt by non-automated means.

(j) Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors. Subscriber is not an agent of Sisu and will not represent to any third party that it is an employee or agent of Sisu. Subscriber shall have no authority to enter into any contract on behalf of Sisu.

(k) Injunctive Relief. Each party acknowledges that the other party's intellectual property and Confidential Information is highly valuable to the other party, that any breach of such party’s obligations with respect to confidentiality, Subscriber’s agreement not to use the API or Sisu Platform to compete with Sisu, and/or use of the other party’s intellectual property, including any breach by Subscriber of any restrictions on use of the Sisu Platform (including the API) or the scope of the rights granted by Sisu herein, may severely damage the other party, the extent of which damage would be difficult to ascertain and, therefore, that the other party is entitled to seek, among other remedies, temporary and permanent injunctive relief and other equitable relief for any such breach, without the necessity of posting bond or other security, to the extent permitted by law.

(l) Force Majeure. A party shall be excused from delays or failure to perform its duties (other than payment obligations) to the extent such delays or failures result from acts of nature, riots, war, acts of public enemies, fires, epidemics, labor disputes, or any other causes beyond its reasonable control. The parties will promptly inform and consult with each other as to any of the above causes that in their judgment may or could be the cause of a substantial delay in the performance of this Agreement. The affected party shall resume performance as soon as is reasonably feasible.

(m) Electronic Signatures and Delivery; Signature Authority. The Subscription Orders, this Agreement and any other documents to be delivered in connection herewith may be electronically signed and delivered. Any electronic signatures are deemed the same as handwritten signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability, and admissibility.
