CONFIDENTIALITY

  1. General. It is anticipated that the Parties may exchange certain proprietary information necessary to carry out obligations set forth hereunder and/or to discuss specific opportunities for additional or revised Order Forms between the Parties. In order for each Party to access, use and track the other Party’s proprietary information, the Parties agree as follows:
  2. Definition. “Confidential Information” as used in this Agreement means any and all information disclosed by a Party (each a “Discloser”) to the other Party (each a “Recipient”), provided: (x) if such information is disclosed in tangible form, it is conspicuously marked to identify its confidential or proprietary nature; or (y) if such information is disclosed orally or by other intangible means, it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Software is deemed to be MGLMath's Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall not include information that: was generally known or available at the time it was disclosed or has subsequently become generally known or available legally and through no fault of Recipient; was rightfully in Recipient’s possession free of any obligation of confidence at or subsequent to the time it was communicated to Recipient by Discloser; is independently developed by Recipient without use of Discloser’s Confidential Information as documented by competent records; or was communicated by Discloser to an unaffiliated third party free of any obligation of confidence.
  3. Use Limitations; Nondisclosure Obligation; Duty of Care. Each Party agrees as a Recipient: (i) not to use Confidential Information for any purpose except as in furtherance of its rights or obligations hereunder; (ii) that it shall disclose Confidential Information only to its employees, contractors or consultants, or those of its affiliates, who need to know such information in order to carry out obligations hereunder, and certifies that such individuals have previously agreed, either as a condition to employment or in order to obtain the Confidential Information, to be bound by terms and conditions at least as restrictive as those of this section; and (iii) to treat all Confidential Information with the same degree of care as it accords its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no case less than with a reasonable degree of care. A breach of these obligations may result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Discloser for which there may be no adequate remedy at law, and, in the event thereof, Discloser shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief as may be appropriate. The foregoing obligations shall continue for the duration of the Term of Use and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, except as to the obligations concerning the Software, which shall not expire except in accordance with the exceptions identified in Section 5(b) above.
  4. Disclosures Required by Law. Recipient may disclose Confidential Information as and to the extent required by a valid order of a court or other governmental body, as otherwise required by law, or as necessary to establish the rights of either Party under this Agreement. Where permitted by law, the Recipient shall give the Discloser prior notice of any court or governmentally compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Discloser’s cost, if the Discloser wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Recipient is compelled by law to disclose the Discloser’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Discloser is a Party, and the Discloser is not contesting the release of the information, the Discloser will reimburse the Recipient for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information provided that any such costs are agreed with the Discloser in advance of incurring them.
  5. Data Collection. Customer agrees that MGLMath may monitor Customer’s and its Users’ use of the Software and collect and use data and related information, including but not limited to information about Customer’s and its Users’ use of the Software, which may be gathered periodically to ensure compliance with this Agreement, to facilitate the provision of updates, product support and other services (if any), and for MGLMath’s other internal purposes. Other than in aggregate, non-identifiable form, and in a way that does not identify Customer as the source, all such data shall be considered Customer’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MGLMath’s [Privacy Policy] shall govern MGLMath’s collection and use of User data, and shall control to the extent of any conflict with this Agreement.

SECURITY

Customer’s access to the MGLMath platform will be through a log-in to MGLMath’s private portal with the usernames and passwords Customer selects or which are assigned to Customer. Only Customer’s manager designated to oversee operation of the licensed Software may use the username and password to access the Software. Customer must keep the usernames and passwords, and any other information needed to access the Software and other information on MGLMath’s private portal confidential and secure. Customer will promptly deactivate the user account of any individual no longer tasked with the use of the portal. Customer is solely responsible for (i) any damage caused to its Customer Content or the site or data of any other MGLMath customer, and (ii) any damage caused to the MGLMath website or platform, by any individual utilizing a username or password provided by Customer or to Customer, unless such individual obtained the username and password information as a result of a security breach of the MGLMath infrastructure and such breach is not the result of the acts or omissions of Customer. MGLMath is not responsible for any unauthorized access to Customer’s account and any ramifications of such access, and may take no action to disable any account for unauthorized access until given written notice by Customer. Once notified by Customer, MGLMath will take reasonable efforts to disable, lock or otherwise prevent continued unauthorized access.

CUSTOMER'S SITE

  1. Customer’s Terms of Use. Customer shall post and maintain its own branding, logos, and other Customer Content on the Customer Site. Customer shall not identify MGLMath as the owner or operator of the Customer Site, including in any “terms of use” or other website terms and conditions. Customer understands that website terms of use are contractual arrangements between website owners and users; accordingly, MGLMath cannot provide legal advice regarding any terms of use on the Customer Site. However, Customer agrees to include in its terms of use provisions for compliance with appropriate applicable standards for the treatment of third party property with respect to the Customer Site, and agrees to abide by such terms for compliance.
  2. MGLMath’s Terms of Use; Privacy Policy. Customer understands and agrees that MGLMath may require Users of the Software, as accessed through Customer’s Site, to agree to MGLMath’s software Terms of Service and Privacy Policy relating to the Software. Customer shall not interfere with MGLMath’s posting of said terms and policies.
  3. MGLMath Trademark License. For purposes of identifying that the Customer Site incorporates, or is otherwise “powered by,” the Software, MGLMath grants to Customer during the Term of Use and solely on the Customer Site, the limited right and license to use the “MGLMath” or other logos and trademarks owned or licensed by MGLMath and specifically provided to Customer for use on the Customer Site (“MGLMath Trademarks”). The MGLMath Trademarks must be configured on the Customer Site as an active link back to the url www.schoolkeep.com. Customer’s use of the MGLMath Trademarks is subject to MGLMath's approval, and such use inures solely to the benefit of MGLMath. MGLMath retains the sole discretion to revoke this license for any reason whatsoever or for no specified reason. No other rights to the MGLMath Trademarks are granted hereunder.

INDEMNIFICATION

  1. MGLMath Indemnification of Customer. MGLMath agrees to defend and indemnify Customer, its employees, directors, contractors, and assigns from and against any claims and costs incurred by Customer in connection with the Software that claim is attributable to any intellectual property right infringed or misappropriated by the Software (excluding the Customer Content distributed by and through the Software). The foregoing indemnification obligation is subject to Customer: (i) providing prompt written notice of any claim for which defense is sought, (ii) tendering control of such defense to MGLMath, provided that MGLMath may not settle or make any admissions on behalf of Customer that would have a material adverse impact on Customer, and (iii) providing reasonable assistance and information at reasonable cost to MGLMath. Nothing herein shall restrict Customer’s right to participate in any such defense at its own expense. MGLMath Options. If an action is brought under this section, or if MGLMath reasonably determines in its discretion that such a claim is likely to be made, MGLMath may, at its option, (i) replace or modify the Software so it is no longer infringing but is functionally equivalent without material adverse impact on Customer, or (ii) obtain for Customer the right to continue using the Software. Exclusions. The indemnification obligation under this section will not apply to any claim arising from: (i) modification of the Software by Parties other than MGLMath (or its authorized subcontractors or affiliates), (ii) any Customer Content distributed through the Software, or (iii) use of the Software where such infringement or misappropriation could have been avoided by use of subsequent Software provided by MGLMath and MGLMath has notified Customer in writing of a need to update the Software. Sole Remedy. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION UNDER SECTION STATES SCHOOLKEEP’S ENTIRE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
  2. Customer indemnification of MGLMath. Customer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless MGLMath, its employees, directors, contractors, and assigns from and against any claims and costs, including reasonable attorney and expert fees and costs incurred by MGLMath in connection with allegations or claims relating to (i) Customer Content, (ii) all use of, and activities and postings on and through the Customer Site (iii) and any breach of Customer’s representations, warranties or obligations under or in this Agreement. The foregoing indemnification obligation is subject to MGLMath: (1) providing prompt written notice of any claim for which defense is sought, (2) tendering control of such defense to Customer, provided that Customer may not settle or make any admissions on behalf of MGLMath that would have a material adverse impact on MGLMath, and (3) providing reasonable assistance and information. Nothing herein shall restrict MGLMath’s right to participate in any such defense at its own expense. If such an action is brought and is based on a third party claim of infringement of an intellectual property right, or Customer reasonably determines in its discretion that such a claim is likely to be made, Customer may, at its option, replace or modify the Customer Content so it is no longer infringing but functionally equivalent, or may obtain the right to continue using the Customer Content.
