Airship is not responsible for any usage, transmission, disclosure, loss, modification or deletion of Customer Data or any other content sent to, provided by or accessed by a Third Party Application that Customer links to the Service. Customer is solely responsible for obtaining and securing from the Third Party Application provider all rights and permissions necessary for Customer to link such Third Party Application to the Service, and Airship shall have no liability in connection therewith. Customer’s access to and use of any Third Party Application (including the linking of the Third Party Application to the Service) is subject to such Third Party Application provider’s terms and conditions that govern the access and use of the Third Party Application, or any separate agreement or transaction that Customer enters into with the Third Party Application provider, and Airship shall have no liability in connection therewith. Airship makes no representations or warranties as to the suitability of such Third Party Applications or for the acts of omissions of such Third Party Application providers.
4. FEES AND PAYMENT.
4.1 Fees. Customer shall pay all fees specified in all applicable Order Forms. Except as otherwise specified herein or in an Order Form, (a) fees are based on the Service subscribed, the usage metrics, and the Professional Services specified in the applicable Order Form, (b) payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable, other than pursuant to Section 10.4 (Refund or Payment upon Termination), and (c) the purchased Service cannot be decreased during the relevant Subscription Term.
4.2 Invoicing and Payment. Unless an Order Form specifies otherwise, fees for the Service are (a) electronically invoiced up front upon execution of the Order Form, and (b) due net 30 days from the invoice date. Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Airship and notifying Airship of any changes to such information. All amounts payable shall be in the currency stated in the applicable Order Form. If Customer issues a purchase order upon entering into an Order Form, then: (i) any such purchase order submitted by Customer is for its internal purposes only, and Airship rejects, and in the future is deemed to have rejected, any purchase order terms to the extent they add to or conflict in any way with this Agreement or the applicable Order Form and such additional or conflicting terms will have no effect; (ii) it shall be without limitation to Airship’s right to collect Fees owing hereunder; (iii) it shall be for the total Fees owing under the applicable Order Form; and (iv) on request, Airship will reference the purchase order number on its invoices (solely for administrative convenience), so long as Customer provides the purchase order at least ten (10) business days prior to the invoice date.
4.3 Late Payments. Customer’s failure to pay any undisputed amounts due under this Agreement or any Order Form on a timely basis will be deemed material breach of this Agreement. If any amount owing by Customer under this Agreement or any Order Form is overdue, Airship may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend applicable Service and/or Professional Services until all overdue amounts are paid in full. Airship shall provide at least 7 calendar days’ prior notice that Customer’s account is overdue, in accordance with Section 12.1 (Manner of Giving Notice), before any suspension. Customer will continue to be charged Service fees during any period of suspension. Airship shall not exercise such suspension rights specified above if Customer is disputing the applicable charges reasonably and in good faith, and is working with Airship to resolve the dispute. If Airship takes action to collect overdue fees under this Agreement or any Order Form, Customer agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Airship for collecting such overdue fees, including but not limited to, collection fees, reasonable attorney fees and court costs.
4.4 Taxes. Fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with its purchases hereunder. If any withholding tax applies, Airship’s prices will be adjusted to account for such withholding tax so that the amount received by Airship after the withholding tax is deducted is the full amount Airship would have received if no withholding or deduction had been made of the fees. If Airship has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this Section, Airship will invoice Customer and Customer shall pay that amount unless Customer provides Airship with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, Airship is solely responsible for taxes assessable against it based on its income, property and employees.
4.5 Future Functionality. Customer agrees that its purchases are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Airship regarding future functionality or features.
5. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND LICENSES.

Customer hereby grants to Airship a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable (except pursuant to a permitted assignment under this Agreement), worldwide license during the applicable Subscription Term to receive, copy, modify, display, store, perform and distribute copies of Customer Data for the purpose of providing the Service (including interoperation of the Service with any linked Third Party Applications) and any applicable Professional Services in accordance with this Agreement. Customer has all the rights or permissions (including, but not limited to, permissions from any Third Party Application providers) necessary to grant Airship the rights in the Customer Data under this Agreement.
5.4 Aggregated Data. Airship aggregates and compiles (1) anonymized End User Data in the Customer’s account to provide the Customer with functionalities in the Service (e.g. optimal messaging timeframes), (“Aggregated Service Data”); and (2) anonymized quantitative data from the Customer’s usage of the Service with de-identified usage data from Airship’s other customers (“Aggregated Usage Data”). Customer agrees that Airship may use the Aggregated Service Data to provide the Customer with the functionalities in the Service. Airship shall not combine Aggregated Service Data from Customer’s account with other Airship customers’ End User data. Customer agrees that Airship may use the Aggregated Usage Data to analyze, improve, develop, support and operate the Service performance, and to prepare and distribute to Airship’s customers and publish on Airship’s blogs and websites general benchmarking and industry reports derived from Aggregated Usage Data. For clarity, this Section 5.4 does not give Airship the right to use the Aggregated Service Data or the Aggregated Usage Data to identify an individual, an End User or Customer as the source of any Aggregated Service Data or Aggregated Usage Data, and Airship shall not sell or disclose the raw data or personal data included in the Aggregated Service Data or Aggregated Usage Data to any third party.
5.5 Feedback. Providing any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, corrections or other feedback (collectively, “feedback”) is strictly voluntary. If Customer provides any feedback to Airship, orally or in writing, Customer hereby grants to Airship and its Affiliates a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free license to use and incorporate into the Service and/or Professional Services any feedback relating to the Service and/or Professional Services.
6. CONFIDENTIALITY.
6.1 Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure, including, without limitation business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by the Disclosing Party. Customer’s Confidential Information includes Customer Data, other than Notifications (to the extent such Notifications have been sent to an End User and are no longer within Airship’s control). Airship’s Confidential Information includes the Service and all non-public information relating to the Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement, in confidence, to a potential purchaser or successor to any portion of such party’s business resulting from the reorganization, spin-off, or sale or all or a portion of all of the assets of any business division, or group of such party. However, Confidential Information does not include any information that (a) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (c) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without breach of any obligations owned to the Disclosing Party.
6.2 Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care to protect the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care). The Receiving Party may disclose Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to its Affiliates or its investors, and their respective officers, directors, principals, employees, attorneys and accountants only to the limited extent necessary to carry out the purpose of this Agreement. To the extent that the Receiving Party desires to make a disclosure to any persons other than its officers, directors, principals, employees, attorneys and accountants, as condition precedent to disclosure, such recipient must execute a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section before disclosure is made.
6.3 Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by applicable law or any competent judicial, supervisory or regulatory authority to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure or obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If, however in the opinion of the counsel of the Receiving Party, the Receiving Party or its Representatives are nonetheless, in the absence of such order or remedy, compelled to disclose such Confidential Information, then the Receiving Party may disclose only such portion of the Confidential Information which, in the opinion of its counsel, the Receiving Party is compelled to disclose. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
6.4 Survival. Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the obligations of confidentiality and non-use set forth in this Section shall extend for a period of five (5) years after such expiration or termination; except that such time limitation shall not apply to trade secrets disclosed under this Agreement.
6.5 Destruction of Confidential Information. On the Disclosing Party’s written request, the Receiving Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly destroy all physical copies of Confidential Information in its and its representatives’ possession, and in the case of electronic data, use commercially reasonable efforts to delete or render practically inaccessible by the Receiving Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may retain copies of the Confidential Information to the extent required by law or for auditing purposes, or to the extent such copies are electronically stored in accordance with the Receiving Party’s record retention or backup policies, so long as the Confidential Information is kept confidential in accordance with this Agreement.
7. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND DISCLAIMERS.
7.1 Mutual Warranties. Each party represents and warrants that (i) such party has the legal right and authority to enter into this Agreement, (ii) such party has the legal right and authority to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to grant the rights and licenses described in this Agreement, (iii) this Agreement will constitute such party’s legal, valid, and binding obligation, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, and (iv) no consent, approval or authorization of, or exemption by, or filing with, any governmental authority or third party is required to be obtained by such party in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement or the taking of any other action contemplated hereby, which has not been obtained.

8.3 Indemnification Process. The indemnifying party’s obligations are conditioned upon the indemnified party (i) giving the indemnifying Party prompt written notice of the claim (provided however, the failure to give timely notice will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that such failure materially impairs the ability of the indemnifying party to defend), (ii) granting full control of the defense and settlement to the indemnifying party (provided however, the indemnified party may participate with counsel of its choosing at its own expense), (iii) reasonably cooperating with the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party’s expense with regard to out-of-pocket expenses, in defense and settlement of any such claim, and (iv) not admitting any fault or liability of the indemnifying party or itself.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
9.1 Limitation of Liability. OTHER THAN A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 8, NEITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER HEREUNDER IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE INCIDENT. THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY. HOWEVER, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS WILL NOT LIMIT CUSTOMER’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE STATE OR JURISDICTION.
9.3 FOR THE PURPOSE OF CLARITY, AIRSHIP WILL NOT BE LIABLE, AND WILL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY CUSTOMER OR ACCOUNT USER FOR (A) PROHIBITED DATA SENT TO AIRSHIP; (B) VIOLATION OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW BY AIRSHIP WHEN ACTING AT CUSTOMER’S OR ANY ACCOUNT USER’S (AS APPLICABLE) INSTRUCTIONS; AND (C) THE SENDING BY AIRSHIP OF CUSTOMER’S OR ANY ACCOUNT USER’S NOTIFICATIONS.
