- Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means any business or technical information disclosed by or on behalf of either party or their Affiliates to the other that is designated as confidential at the time of disclosure or that, under the circumstances, a person exercising reasonable business judgment would understand to be confidential or proprietary. Without limiting the foregoing, all non-public elements of the Reltio Services are Reltio’ Confidential Information, Customer Data is Customer’s Confidential Information, and the terms of the Agreement and any information that either party conveys to the other party concerning data security measures, incidents, or findings constitute Confidential Information of both parties. Confidential Information will not include information that the receiving party can demonstrate (a) is or becomes publicly known through no fault of the receiving party, (b) is, when it is supplied, already known to whoever it is disclosed to in circumstances in which they are not prevented from disclosing it to others, (c) is independently obtained by whoever it is disclosed to in circumstances in which they are not prevented from disclosing it to others or (d) was independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to the Confidential Information.

Each receiving party will protect the disclosing party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure using efforts equivalent to those that the receiving party ordinarily uses with respect to its own Confidential Information of similar nature and in no event using less than a reasonable standard of care; provided, however, that a party may disclose such Confidential Information as required by applicable laws, subject to the party required to make such disclosure giving reasonable notice (if legally permitted to do so) to the other party to enable it to contest such order or requirement or limit the scope of such request. The provisions of this Section 2.2 (Confidentiality) will supersede any non-disclosure agreement by and between the parties (whether entered into before, on or after the Effective Date) and such agreement will have no further force or effect with respect to Customer Data.
- Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other party may be irreparably harmed in the event that such party breaches Section 2.2 (Confidentiality), and that monetary damages alone cannot fully compensate the non-breaching party for such harm. Accordingly, each party hereto hereby agrees that the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief to prevent or stop such breach, and to obtain specific enforcement thereof. Any such equitable remedies obtained will be in addition to, and not foreclose, any other remedies that may be available.
- Intellectual Property.
- Ownership by Reltio. Except for the limited licenses expressly set forth in the Agreement, Reltio retains all rights, title and interest in and to (i) the Reltio Services, Documentation, Deliverables, and any and all related and underlying technology and documentation (including but not limited to products, software tools, algorithms, know-how, processes, methodologies, databases, and architecture) created by or for, or licensed to Reltio; and (ii) any updates, upgrades, improvements, modifications, or derivative works of any of the foregoing ((i) and (ii) collectively the “Reltio Technology”), including all Intellectual Property Rights in any of the foregoing.

Reltio will not disclose any Usage Data to any third-parties unless (a) it is anonymized and aggregated such that it does not identify Customer or Customer Confidential Information; or (b) in accordance with Section 2 (Confidentiality) of this Agreement to perform the Reltio Services.
- Feedback. You are under no duty to provide any suggestions, enhancement requests, or other feedback regarding the Reltio Services (“Feedback”). If you choose to offer Feedback to Reltio, you hereby grant Reltio a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, fully-paid, sub-licensable, assignable license to incorporate into the Reltio Services or otherwise use any Feedback Reltio receives from you solely to improve Reltio products and services, provided that such Feedback is used in a manner that is not attributable to you.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Reltio will have no liability for any infringement or misappropriation claim of any kind if such claim arises from: (a) the combination, operation or use of the Reltio Services with equipment, devices, software or data (including without limitation your Confidential Information) not supplied by Reltio if a claim would not have occurred but for such combination, operation or use; (b) your or an Authorized User’s use of the Reltio Services other than in accordance with the Documentation and the Agreement; or (c) a breach by you or an Authorized User of an obligation otherwise provided under this Agreement or applicable law..
- Other Remedies. If Reltio receives information about an infringement or misappropriation claim related to a Reltio Service or otherwise becomes aware of a claim that the provision of any of the Reltio Services is unlawful in a particular territory, then Reltio may at its sole option and expense: (a) replace or modify the applicable Reltio Services to make them non-infringing and of substantially equivalent functionality; (b) procure for you the right to continue using the Reltio Services under the terms of the Agreement; or (c) if Reltio is unable to accomplish either (a) or (b) despite using its reasonable efforts, terminate your rights and Reltio’ obligations under the Agreement with respect to such Reltio Services and refund to you any Fees prepaid by you to Reltio for Reltio Services not yet provided.
- Indemnification by Customer. Subject to Section 7.5 (Conditions of Indemnification), Customer will defend Reltio against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against Reltio by a third party (a “Claim Against Reltio”) (a) arising from or related to Customer’s use of the Reltio Services in violation of any applicable laws, the rights of a third party, or the Agreement, (b) arising from or related to Customer Data or its use with the Reltio Services, (c) to the extent that it alleges that any Customer Materials, or the use of Customer Materials with the Reltio Services, infringes or misappropriates such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, and / or (d) arising from any instructions provided by Customer to Reltio in the creation by Reltio of the Deliverables (each (a)-(d) a “Data Claim”), and will indemnify Reltio from and against any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Reltio to the extent they are based upon, or for amounts paid by Reltio under a settlement approved by Customer in writing of, a Claim Against Reltio.

The Indemnitor will not settle any claim in a manner that does not fully discharge the claim against an Indemnitee or that imposes any obligation on, or restricts any right of, an Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. An Indemnitee has the right to retain counsel, at the Indemnitee’s expense, to participate in the defense or settlement of any claim.

- Compliance with Laws.
- By Reltio Generally.

Each party further represents that it (and with respect to Customer, each Authorized User and / or Affiliate accessing the Reltio Services) is not named on any governmental or quasi-governmental denied party or debarment list relevant to this Agreement, and is not owned directly or indirectly by persons whose aggregated interest in such party is 50% or more and who are named on any such list(s).
- General.
- Governing Law and Venue. The governing law and exclusive venue applicable to any lawsuit or other dispute arising in connection with the Agreement will be determined by the location of Customer’s principal place of business (“Domicile”), as follows:

- Insurance Coverage. Reltio will maintain commercially appropriate insurance coverage given the nature of the Reltio Services and Reltio’ obligations under the Agreement. Such insurance will be in an industry standard form with licensed insurance carriers with A.M. Best ratings of A-IX or better, and will include commercially appropriate cyber liability insurance coverage. Upon request, Reltio will provide Customer with certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage.
- Entire Agreement, Construction, Amendment and Execution. The Agreement is the complete and exclusive understanding and agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements regarding its subject matter. Customer acknowledges that, in entering this Agreement, it has not relied on any statement, warranty, representation or other promise of any nature not contained in this Agreement. Reltio may change and update the Platform Services, in which case Reltio may update the Documentation. To the extent there is a conflict or inconsistency among provisions of the following documents, the order of precedence shall be as follows: (a) the applicable Order, (b) the Service Specific Terms, and (c) this MCSA. Customer’s Affiliates may receive the Reltio Services under this Agreement as Authorized Users. Alternatively, where a Customer Affiliate wishes to execute its own Order subject to the terms of this Agreement then Customer agrees to remain jointly and severally liable for such use. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain in full force and effect. The headings in the Agreement are solely for convenience and will not be taken into consideration in interpretation of the Agreement. Any translation of the Agreement or an Order that is provided as a courtesy shall not be legally binding and the English language version will always prevail. Each party acknowledges and agrees that it has adequate sophistication, including legal representation, fully to review and understand the Agreement; therefore, in interpretation of the Agreement with respect to any drafting ambiguities that may be identified or alleged, no presumption will be given in favor of the non-drafting party. Except as set out elsewhere in this Agreement, any variation or waiver of this Agreement must be expressly agreed in writing signed by both parties. Without limiting the foregoing, no Customer purchase order, onboarding forms, terms of business or other documentation will be deemed to modify an Order or the Agreement unless expressly pre-authorized in writing by Reltio. The Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, will constitute one and the same instrument. A party’s electronic signature or transmission of any document by electronic means will be deemed to bind such party as if signed and transmitted in physical form.
- Assignment. No assignment, novation or transfer of a party’s rights and obligations under the Agreement (“Assignment”) is permitted except with the prior written approval of the other party, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may freely make an Assignment to a successor in interest upon a change of control. If such Assignment, upon change of control, is a) to a direct competitor of the other party or b) would cause the other party to become in violation of applicable laws that is not reasonably addressable, such other party may terminate the Agreement upon written notice.
- Notice. Any required notice under the Agreement will be deemed given when received by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or recorded prepaid mail. Unless notified in writing of a change of address, you will send any required notice to Reltio, Inc., 100 Marine Parkway, Suite 275, Redwood City, CA USA, attention: Legal Department, or to the alternative Reltio Affiliate (if any) identified in an applicable Order, and Reltio will send any required notice to you directed to the most recent address you have provided to Reltio for such notice. Save in respect of any notices pertaining to litigation, breach of the Agreement or material breach, the Customer may also send notices to Reltio legal department at legal@Reltio.com and Reltio may also send notices to Customer by using the last primary contact email.
- Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for a delay or failure to perform this Agreement, due to and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond the impacted party’s (“Impacted Party”) reasonable control, including without limitation the following force majeure events (“Force Majeure Event(s)“): (a) acts of God, (b) acts of government, including any changes in law or regulations, (c) acts or omissions of third parties, (d) flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, wars, acts of terror, pandemics, or strikes or other actions taken by labor organizations, (e) computer, telecommunications, the Internet, Internet service provider or hosting facility failures or delays involving hardware, software or power systems not within the Impacted Party’s possession or reasonable control, (f) network intrusions or denial of service attacks, or (g) any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, that is beyond the Impacted Party’s reasonable control. This Section does not excuse either party’s obligation to take reasonable steps to follow its normal disaster recovery or business continuity procedures or either party’s payment obligations (unless that is prevented by a Force Majeure Event).
