Confidential Information also includes all information of which the unauthorized disclosure could be detrimental to the interests of the Disclosing Party. By example, and without limitation, Confidential Information includes any and all non-public information that relates to the actual or anticipated business and/or products, research or development of the Disclosing Party, or to the Disclosing Party’s technical data, trade secrets, or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, or other information regarding the Disclosing Party’s products or services and markets therefor, customer lists and customers, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances, and other business information disclosed by the Disclosing Party either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or inspection of premises, parts, equipment, or other Company property.
- Recipient may use Confidential Information of Disclosing Party only for the purposes of fulfilling its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement and shall protect such Confidential Information from disclosure to others, using the same degree of care used to protect its own proprietary information of like importance, but in any case, using no less than a reasonable degree of care. Recipient may disclose Confidential Information received hereunder only as reasonably required to perform its obligations under this Agreement and only to its employees, consultants or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) who have a need to know for such purposes and who are bound by signed, written agreements to protect the received Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure.

- If Recipient or any of its Representatives is required by a valid legal order to disclose any Confidential Information, Recipient shall notify Disclosing Party of such requirements so that Disclosing Party may seek, at Disclosing Party’s expense, a protective order or other remedy, and Recipient shall reasonably assist Disclosing Party therewith. If Recipient remains legally required to make such disclosure, it shall: (a) only disclose that portion of the Confidential Information that it is required to disclose; and (b) use reasonable efforts to ensure that such Confidential Information is afforded confidential treatment.
- Following the termination of this Agreement, Recipient shall (a) at Disclosing Party’s discretion, promptly return to Disclosing Party or destroy all Confidential Information in its and its Representatives’ possession other than internal notes, (b) destroy all internal notes, and (c) within 10 days after Disclosing Party’s request, provide Disclosing Party with a certificate confirming Recipient’s compliance with this Section 10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient may retain copies of Confidential Information that are stored on Recipient’s IT backup and disaster recovery systems until deleted in the ordinary course. Recipient shall continue to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to such retained Confidential Information.

- Essential Basis of the Agreement. Each Party acknowledges and understands that the disclaimers, exclusions and limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10 form an essential basis of the agreement between the Parties, that the Parties have relied upon such disclaimers, exclusions and limitations of liability in negotiating the terms and conditions in this Agreement, and that absent such disclaimers, exclusions and limitations of liability, the terms and conditions of this Agreement would be substantially different.
- Limitations and Exclusions of Liability.
- Limitation of Liability. OTHER THAN INSTANCES OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFULLY MALICIOUS CONDUCT NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF THE NATURE OF THE CLAIM, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, COSTS OF DELAY, ANY FAILURE OF DELIVERY, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, COSTS OF LOST OR DAMAGED DATA OR DOCUMENTATION, OR LIABILITIES TO THIRD PARTIES ARISING FROM ANY SOURCE, EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION UPON DAMAGES AND CLAIMS IS INTENDED TO APPLY WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN BREACHED OR HAVE PROVEN INEFFECTIVE. EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING THE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF SESSION AI TO CUSTOMER FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS COVERED BY THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONPS OF SECTION 13 OR CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS OF SECTION 10, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CAUSE OF ACTION SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR STRICT LIABILITY, WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ALL LICENSE FEES PAID TO SESSION AI BY CUSTOMER DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY HEREUNDER.
- Indemnification.
- Indemnification by Customer. Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Session AI, its licensors, service providers, and their respective affiliates, managers, directors, shareholders, agents and employees, from and against all liability, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from Customer’s or Customer’s Permitted Users’ use of the Services or breach of any obligations under this Agreement.
- Indemnification by Session AI. Session AI will indemnify Customer against claims made or brought against Customer by a third party alleging that the use of the Services as contemplated hereunder infringes the patent, copyright, trade secret or intellectual property or proprietary rights of such third party. Session AI will not indemnify Customer if the claim is brought as a result of Customer’s or Customer’s Permitted Users’ actions or improper use of the Services where but-for those actions or use a claim would not exist. If a court of competent jurisdiction or Session AI reasonably determines that any third-party infringement claim prevails or is likely to prevail, Session AI may, at Session AI’s sole discretion and expense: (i) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Services under the terms of this Agreement; (ii) replace or modify the Services to be non-infringing without material decrease in functionality; or (iii) if the foregoing options are not reasonably practicable, terminate the license for the infringing Services and relieve Customer of any obligation to pay fees for the remainder of the term following the effective date of termination.
- Notice and Defense of Claims. With respect to a claim entitled to indemnification under this Section 12, a Party seeking indemnification under this Section 12 (the “Indemnified Party”) will promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim for which it believes it is entitled to indemnification. The Indemnifying Party shall assume control of the defense and settlement of such claim provided that (i) Indemnified Party promptly notifies Indemnifying Party of any such claim in writing (but a failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party or the defense is prejudiced by such failure), (ii) the Indemnifying Party is given sole control over the defense and settlement of such claim at its sole cost and expense, provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not settle any third-party claim against the Indemnified Party unless such settlement completely and forever releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such claim without payment or admission of fault by the Indemnified Party, unless the Indemnified Party consents to such settlement, and that (iii) the Indemnified Party will have the right, at its option and expense, to defend itself against any such claim or to participate in the defense thereof by counsel of its own choice. For the avoidance of doubt, should the Indemnifying Party refuse the opportunity to have sole control of the defense of the claims, and should the Indemnified Party be obliged to conduct the same, then any reasonable related attorneys’ fees and costs shall be covered by this Section 12.
- Notices. All notices by either Party shall be in writing and shall be sent to the other Party at the addresses shown on the signature page hereto by United States Certified Mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or by Federal Express or other similar nationally recognized courier, or by email, and such notices will be deemed effective upon actual receipt or rejection.

- Independent Contractors. The Parties are independent contractors and will so represent themselves in all regards. Neither Party is the agent nor partner of the other and neither may bind the other in any way.
- No Waiver. Neither Party will be deemed to have waived any of its rights under this Agreement by lapse of time or by any statement or representation other than by an explicit written waiver. No waiver of a breach of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of this Agreement.
- Force Majeure. Except for Customer’s obligations to make payments as set forth in this Agreement and each Party’s obligations related to confidentiality, each Party shall be excused from performance for any period during which, and to the extent that, it or its subcontractor(s) is prevented from performing any obligation or service, in whole or in part, as a result of causes beyond its reasonable control and without its fault or negligence. Such acts shall include without limitation acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental laws and regulations imposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, power failures, earthquakes, floods or other natural disasters (a “Force Majeure Event”).

- “Priority 1” or “P1” – A P1 Incident is a catastrophic production Incident within the Application or Service that severely impacts the Customer’s site or systems, causing the site to cease from operating or accepting orders, or because of which Customer’s site is completely down or not functioning, or that results in a loss of production data and no work around exists. P1 Incidents must be reported on Session AI’s toll-free support telephone number at (844) 946-3663 and to support@SessionAI.com in order to expedite resolution. Session AI will use continuous efforts, with appropriate escalation to senior management, to provide a resolution for an P1 Incident as soon as is commercially reasonable.

Incidents existing in a non-production environment that would otherwise qualify as a P1 if they were in a production environment, qualify as P2. Session AI will work during its normal hours of operation to provide a resolution for an P2 Incident as soon as is commercially reasonable.
- “Priority 3” or “P3” – A P3 Incident is a medium-to-low impact Incident that affects certain partial and/or non-critical functions of a Customer’s site, or that impairs some operations but allows Customer’s operations to continue to function.

Session AI will use reasonable efforts during its normal hours of operation, to provide a resolution for any P3 Incident in time for the next Minor release (as defined below) of the Software application.
- “Priority 4” or “P4” – A P4 Incident is for a general usage question or issue that may be minor or cosmetic in nature or documentation related, and may include issues Session AI deems Enhancement Requests, but the Service works without interruption. Session AI will use efforts during its normal hours of operation, to provide a reasonable resolution or work-around for any P4 problem. Session AI will take Enhancement Requests into consideration in the product management process but has no obligation to deliver enhancements based on any Enhancement Request.

- Service Level Definitions
- “Downtime” means a period of time when the Services are not Operational.
- “Implementation Team” means either Customer’s designated internal staff or a third party retained by Customer pursuant to a separate agreement, that is responsible for the technical management of Customer’s use of the Services.
- “Operational” means the ability to run Customer’s Production Instance without errors or failures.
- “Service Credits” means credits available to Customer if the Service Level is not met for any given calendar month, if Customer, within thirty (30) days after the end of a such calendar month, applies to Session AI for such credit. After Session AI receives such a request and confirms that the Service Level has not been met, Session AI will provide Customer with a credit towards the Customer’s Professional Services Fees during the next applicable accounting period, in accordance with Customer’s payment schedule, and calculated as follows: For each percentage or fraction of a percentage of Downtime per calendar month, Customer will be entitled to a credit for the corresponding percentage or fraction of a percentage of the applicable Subscription Fees paid by Customer that are attributable to that month up to a maximum of ten percent (10%) of the portion of the Subscription Fees attributable to a calendar month. In no event shall Customer set off any service credits against the amounts that it owes Session AI.
- Availability. Session AI will make the Service available 99.9% of the time (the “Service Level”). The calculation of the Service Level shall not include downtime attributable to:
- Customer’s failure to deploy the Services according to the applicable documentation, including but not limited to, website tag deployment or any configurations that are edited by Customer in the Session AI customer console).

- issues that impact elements of the Services outside of the production instance.
- Unmet Service Levels. If the Service Level is not met for any given calendar month, Session AI will provide Customer with a credit (the “Service Credit”) toward Customer’s fees during the next applicable accounting period provided that:
- Customer, within thirty (30) days after the end of such calendar month, applies to Session AI for the service credit; and
- after Session AI receives such a request and confirms that the Service Level has not been met.
- Service Credit Calculation. Any applicable Service Credit shall be calculated as follows:
- For each percentage or fraction of a percentage of downtime below the Service Level in a calendar month, Customer will be entitled to a credit for the corresponding percentage or fraction of a percentage of the applicable fees paid by Customer for the Session AI Service that are attributable to that month up to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the portion of the fees attributable to a calendar month. In no event shall Customer set off any Service Credits against the amounts that it owes Session AI.
