All Feedback shall be deemed Axure’s exclusive property to exploit or to not exploit as Axure solely deems appropriate without necessity for remuneration or attribution to Customer.

2.9 Maintenance. Except as to any Evaluation Users and Beta Products, Customer shall be entitled to receive all Updates to the current Major Version to the applicable Tool made available during a Subscription Period (or to the Major Version provided to Customer as to perpetual licenses). Customer acknowledges that Axure has no obligation to (i) provide Updates for any Major Versions or Editions of the Tool not provided to Customer, (ii) provide Updates for other than the current Major Version of the Tool or the Server Software, (iii) provide Updates for Cloud Services or the Server Software such that they maintain compatibility with any versions of the Tool other than the current and one prior Major Version, (iv) maintain or implement any particular feature or functionality in future versions of the Software, or any portion thereof, (vii) issue Updates at any time or on any regular schedule, (viii) provide any support, maintenance or Updates addressing any software not provided by Axure which is used to interoperate with the Server Software through an API provided by Axure, or (ix) develop or issue Updates other than in its sole and absolute discretion.

3. Cloud Services. To the extent that Customer accesses or uses any Cloud Services (whether as a Free Offering and/or a Paid Offering), the terms of this Section 3 shall apply.

3.1 Usage Right. Subject to Customer’s compliance with this Agreement, Axure hereby grants Users non-exclusive, time-limited, non-transferable, non-sub-licensable, revocable rights to access and use the Cloud Services, as provided by Axure, for Customer’s internal purposes, subject to the terms of this Agreement. With respect to Cloud Services in which Axure hosts Customer’s use of a Tool, Customer’s right to access and use such Cloud Services are only permitted in connection with Customer’s use of the Tool. Customer may not incorporate any portion of the Cloud Services into Customer’s own programs or compile any portion of them in combination with Customer’s own programs, transfer them for use with another service, or sell, rent, lease, lend, loan, distribute or sub-license the Cloud Services or otherwise assign any rights to the Cloud Services in whole or in part.

3.2 Storage and Other Limits. There may be storage, usage, user and/or other limits associated with the Cloud Services which are described in the services descriptions on the Websites or in the generally available Cloud Services documentation. Axure reserves the right to charge for additional storage or overage fees at the then-current rates specified on the Website. Customer understands that Axure may, at any time in its sole discretion, impose new or modify existing, storage limits for a Cloud Service, with or without notice to Customer.

3.3 Use of Third Party Service Providers. When Customer uses the Cloud Services, Customer may also be using the services of one or more third party service providers, such as a wireless carrier or a mobile platform provider. Customer’s use of these third-party services may be subject to the separate policies, terms of use, and fees of these third parties.

3.4 Third Party Content and Websites. Users of the Cloud Services may gain access from the Cloud Services to third party websites or content. Third party websites and content are not within the supervision or control of Axure. Unless explicitly otherwise provided, Axure does not make any representation or warranty whatsoever about any such third-party site or content, or endorse the products or services offered on such site. Axure disclaims: (a) all responsibility and liability for third party websites and their content; and (b) any representations or warranties as to the security of any information (including, without limitation, credit card and other personal information) Customer might be requested to give any third party, and Customer hereby irrevocably waives any claim against Axure with respect to such sites and content.

3.5 Updates. In order to keep the Cloud Services up-to-date, Axure may offer automatic or manual updates at any time and without notice.

3.6 Ownership. Except for the access and usage rights expressly provided in this Section 3, this Agreement does not grant Customer any right, title, or interest in the Cloud Services, or the content in the Cloud Services. The Cloud Services and any technology used to provide the Cloud Services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of both the United States and foreign countries. This Agreement does not grant Customer any rights to use any Axure trademarks, logos, domain names, or other brand features.

3.7 Files. Customer retains full ownership of any information, files, and folders (but excluding any Feedback) that it submits to the Cloud Services (“Files”). This Agreement does not grant Axure any rights to Files except for the limited rights that are needed to provide the Cloud Services, as explained below. Customer represents and warrants that it is authorized to provide, and view, receive and access the Files. Without any liability to Customer or any third party, Axure may remove or delete any or all Customer Files and/or suspend access to any portion of the Cloud Services at any time, without notice, on the earlier of (a) termination of Customer’s Axure Customer Agreement, or (b) expiration of Customer’s Subscription Period (if applicable). With respect to Cloud Services in which Axure hosts Customer’s use of a Tool, if Customer does not have rights to use the current or one prior Major Version (e.g., RP 7.0, 8.0, etc.) of the applicable Tool, Axure may remove or delete any or all Customer Files. Axure may also remove or delete Files and/or suspend access to any portion of the Cloud Services at any time, without notice, upon Axure’s good faith determination that Customer has breached this Agreement or in response to copyright/trademark infringement takedown requests. Customer hereby grants a world-wide, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free right and license to Axure to use the Files in order to provide the Cloud Services such as hosting Files, generating hosted prototypes from the Files, and creating backup data, and to perform analytics on the Files and how the Tool and Cloud Services are used, such as usage patterns and characteristics of Axure’s customers, on an aggregated anonymous basis. This permission also extends to trusted third parties that assist in providing the Cloud Services, for example Amazon Web Services, Inc., which provides storage space for some of the Cloud Services.

3.8 Sharing Files. Certain of the Cloud Services provide features that allow Customer to share Files with third parties. In general, those features do not enable sharing by default so Customer must turn them on to share Files. Axure has no responsibility for what third parties do with the Files including copying, modifying or re-sharing. Axure has no obligation to review any Files shared by Customer and is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, appropriateness, or legality of Files, user posts, or any other user-submitted information Customer may be able to access using the Cloud Services.

3.9 Privacy. Any personally-identifiable and other information that Customer provides in connection with use of the Cloud Services, and Axure’s collection and maintenance thereof, will be subject to and governed by the Axure Privacy Policy located at www.axure.com/privacy.

3.10 Customer Responsibilities. Files and other content in the Cloud Services may be protected by intellectual property rights of others. Customer will not copy, upload, download, or share Files unless Customer has the right to do so. Customer will be solely and fully responsible and liable for what Customer copies, shares, uploads, downloads or otherwise uses while using the Cloud Services, and for maintaining and protecting the Files. Customer must not upload spyware or any other malicious software to the Cloud Services. Axure will not be liable for any loss or corruption of Files, or for any costs or expenses associated with backing up or restoring any Files. Customer is responsible for its end users’ use of the Cloud Services. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Axure and its affiliates, directors, shareholders, officers, agents, representatives and employees, harmless from any liability, action, suit, damages, claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of Customer’s use of the Cloud Services including uploading, copying, sharing, uploading, downloading or otherwise using Files, except to the extent arising out of the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of Axure or its agents.

3.11 Account Security. Customer is responsible for safeguarding the passwords that Users use to access the Cloud Services and Customer agrees not to disclose the passwords to any unauthorized third party. Customer is responsible for any activity while using Customer’s account, whether or not Customer authorized that activity. Customer should immediately notify Axure of any unauthorized use of Customer’s account. It is Customer’s responsibility to use a secure encrypted connection to communicate with the Cloud Services to protect transmission of data or Files to the Cloud Services. When Customer enters sensitive information such as a credit card number, Axure encrypts the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). When files are sent to Axure servers from the applicable Tool or the web interface, they are sent over SSL encryption. However, Axure cannot guarantee absolute security as no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. Axure uses Amazon Web Cloud Services for data storage. Customer can find more information about Amazon security at Amazon’s AWS site. Amazon has both physical and service level security in place to prevent unauthorized access to the data. Amazon also keeps redundant backups of all data over multiple devices and across multiple facilities.

3.12 Account Information. If Customer or User contact information or other information related to Customer’s account changes, Customer must notify Axure promptly and keep the information current.

3.13 Not for Under 18 Year Olds. The Cloud Services are not intended for use by Users under 18 years of age. By agreeing to this Agreement, Customer is representing to Axure that all Users are at least 18 years of age.

3.14 Unacceptable Uses. Customer and all Users will not, and will not attempt to or assist any third party to, use the Cloud Services other than as intended and permitted, including, without limitation, by engaging in the following activities with respect to the Cloud Services: (a) probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or network; (b) breach or otherwise circumvent any security or authentication measures; (c) access, tamper with, or use non-public areas of the Cloud Services, or shared areas of the Cloud Services Customer has not been invited to; (d) interfere with or disrupt any user, host, or network, for example by sending a virus, overloading, flooding, spamming, or mail-bombing any part of the Cloud Services; (e) plant malware or otherwise use the Cloud Services to distribute malware; (f) access or search the Cloud Services by any means other than Axure’s publicly supported interfaces (for example, “scraping”); (g) send unsolicited communications, promotions or advertisements, or spam; (h) send altered, deceptive or false source-identifying information, including “spoofing” or “phishing”; (i) publish anything that is fraudulent, misleading, or infringes another’s rights, including without limitation any reference to or likeness of any identifiable third parties without obtaining any legally required consent from such individuals and their parent/legal guardian if they are under the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence; (j) promote or advertise products or services other than Customer’s own without appropriate authorization; (k) modify, distribute, alter, tamper with, repair, or otherwise create derivative works of any content included in the Cloud Services other than the Files; (l) access or use the Cloud Services in a way intended to avoid incurring fees or exceeding usage limits or quotas, (m) impersonate or misrepresent Customer’s affiliation with any person or entity; (n) publish or share materials that are unlawfully pornographic or indecent, or that advocate bigotry, religious, racial, ethnic or other types of hatred or could be reasonably perceived to threaten, advocate, or incite physical harm to or violence against others; (o) violate the law in any way, or to violate the privacy of others, or to defame others; (p) access the Cloud Services in order to build a similar or competitive website, application or service; (q) except as expressly stated herein, copy, reproduce, distribute, republish, download, display, post or transmit in any form or by any means any part of the Cloud Services; or (r) use the Cloud Services in any way which violate the Acceptable Use Policy of Axure’s hosting provider, Amazon Web Services, Inc. set forth at https://aws.amazon.com/aup/.

3.15 Changes to the Cloud Services. The Cloud Services will continue to change over time. Axure may modify the Cloud Services and add or remove features at any time without prior notice to Customer. Axure may also remove any content from Axure’s Cloud Services at Axure’s discretion. Certain portions of the Cloud Services may not remain compatible with prior versions of the Tools and/or the Software enabling the hosting by a customer.

3.16 Termination and Suspension. Customer can stop using the Cloud Services any time. Axure reserves the right to cease providing, suspend or end the Cloud Services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. For example, Axure may suspend or terminate Customer use if Customer is not complying with this Agreement or uses the Cloud Services in any way that would cause Axure legal liability or disrupt others’ use of the Cloud Services. Customer’s rights to use the Cloud Services will automatically terminate without notice from Axure if Customer fails to comply with any of this Agreement or the Privacy Policy.
3.17 DMCA Notice. Axure respects the intellectual property of others, and asks Customer to do the same. If Customer is a copyright owner or an owner’s agent and find any content on the Cloud Services, or referenced or linked within the Cloud Services, that infringes upon Customer’s copyrights, Customer may submit a notification according to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. To do so, please provide Axure’s designated agent with the required information (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) for further detail) in writing. Axure’s designated agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement can be reached at contactus@axure.com. If Customer prefers not to use email, Customer may submit Customer’s notification by postal mail to Chief Executive Officer, Axure Software Solutions, Inc., 1295 Morena Blvd., San Diego, CA 92110 or by calling (800) 895 – 0810. Customer acknowledges that if Customer fails to comply with all of the requirements of this Section, Customer’s DMCA notice may not be valid. Axure has a policy to terminate the account of any user who is the subject of repeated takedown notices.

Except as expressly set forth herein, the Party receiving the Confidential Information (“Receiving Party”) agrees that it will keep confidential and will not disclose (or permit any third party to use or disclose) to any third party any or all Confidential Information of the other Party (“Disclosing Party”) and will only disclose the Confidential Information to its employees, contractors and advisors who have a need to know. In preserving the confidence of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, Receiving Party shall use the same standard of care that it would use to secure and safeguard its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than reasonable care. Receiving Party shall, at its own expense, immediately notify Disclosing Party of any unauthorized possession, use or knowledge, or attempt thereof, of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information by any third party. Customer shall (a) adopt the action(s) necessary to ensure that its employees and any other third parties to whom Customer discloses any Confidential Information of Axure are legally bound by the confidentiality obligations hereunder, and (b) inform its employees and such third parties of its confidentiality and other obligations hereunder and instruct them not to attempt to circumvent any such security procedures and devices. If Axure is required by law to disclose any of Customer’s Confidential Information, Axure will promptly notify Customer and reasonably cooperate in any effort by Customer to prevent or limit such disclosure.

In addition to the foregoing, Customer agrees that the Offerings are Axure’s Confidential Information.

4.3 Exclusions. Except as expressly set forth herein, each Party agrees not to use any Confidential Information of the other Party for any purpose except as otherwise expressly permitted hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include Information that (a) is shown by written record to be in the public domain at the time of disclosure or becomes available thereafter to the public without restriction and not as a result of any act or omission of Receiving Party; (b) is approved for disclosure by Disclosing Party’s express written authorization; (c) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reliance upon the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or, (d) constitutes suggested modifications or improvements to the Offerings, which are subject to Section 13.12.

4.4 Survival; Return of Confidential Information. This Section 4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Upon termination, cancellation or expiration of this Agreement, each Party shall return to the other Party or destroy any and all of the other Party’s Confidential Information and copies thereof in its possession or control.

5. Infringement Indemnification. Except as to any Evaluation Users, Educational Users, Beta Products and Unpaid Offerings, Axure agrees to defend Customer and its directors, officers and employees against any third party claim, action or suit brought or threatened against Customer and based on an allegation that the Software or Cloud Services infringe or misappropriate a US, Canadian or European Union copyright, trade secret or validly issued patent right of such third party (that is not affiliated with Customer), and Axure will also pay all damages awarded therein against Customer or agreed to in settlement. Customer shall promptly notify Axure of such action and give Axure authority, information, and assistance (at Axure’s expense) for the defense of such suit or proceeding. Axure shall have no liability or obligation hereunder for any infringement based on or resulting from (a) the combination or use of the Software or Cloud Services with other programs, components or products to the extent the claim arose from the combination or use, if the infringement would not have occurred but for the combination; (b) any modification of the Software or Cloud Services by anyone other than Axure or a party acting on its behalf, if the infringement would not have occurred but for the modification, (c) the use of other than the most recent version of the Software if the infringement or claim would have been avoided by use of the most recent version; or (d) use of the Software in any way not contemplated under this Agreement. In connection with any such infringement or misappropriation claim, where access to or use of the Software or Cloud Services by Customer or its affiliates is enjoined, temporarily or permanently, Axure shall, at its sole expense: (a) obtain all rights and licenses necessary for Customer to continue using the Software or Cloud Services; or (b) modify the Software or Cloud Services so that it becomes non-infringing, without any substantial loss of functionality or performance. If Axure is unable or unwilling to take the foregoing actions, Customer may terminate this Agreement in exchange for a full and prompt refund of prepaid fees for any remaining portion of the Subscription Period. CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND AXURE’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITIES FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS ARE SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 5.

Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of any breach of the foregoing warranty will be for Axure to take reasonable commercial efforts to cause the Tools and Server Software to conform substantially to the specifications provided with the initial delivery. If Axure is unable to rectify the failures, Axure may, at its sole option, elect to terminate this Agreement and refund the Subscription Fees for the remaining portion of the current Subscription Period (the Total One-Time Fees paid in the prior 6 months, as to perpetual licenses). Customer shall arrange for the purchase or lease, installation, testing and maintenance of adequate hardware. Customer shall be solely responsible for the choice of proper hardware and all hardware maintenance, including periodic inspections, adjustments and repair.

AXURE AND ITS LICENSORS MAKE NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, (I) THE OPERATION, CAPACITY, SPEED, FUNCTIONALITY, QUALIFICATIONS, OR CAPABILITIES OF THE OFFERINGS OR ANY SERVICES, GOODS OR PERSONNEL RESOURCES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, AND (II) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OR QUIET ENJOYMENT, CONCERNING ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT.
