6. Suspension or Termination of Services. Built may, directly or indirectly, suspend, terminate, or otherwise deny Customer’s, Authorized Users’, or any other person’s access to or use of all or any part of the Services, without incurring any resulting obligation or liability, if Built believes that there has been a material breach of Customer’s obligations under the Agreement, a security breach, a violation of Law, an Authorized User’s breach of the EULA, or an Authorized User’s request to opt-out of the Services or exercise of any right under Data Protection Laws. This Section does not limit any of Built’s other rights or remedies, whether at Law, in equity, or under the Agreement.

4. Compelled Disclosures. If the Receiving Party or any of its representatives is compelled by applicable Law to disclose any Confidential Information then, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Receiving Party shall: (a) promptly, and prior to such disclosure, notify the Disclosing Party in writing of such requirement so that the Disclosing Party can seek a protective order or other remedy or waive its rights under Section 4.3; and (b) provide reasonable assistance to the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense, in opposing such disclosure or seeking a protective order or other limitations on disclosure.

8. Indemnification.
1. Built Indemnification. Built shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer from and against any and all losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorney fees (“Losses”) incurred by Customer resulting from any claim or action by a third party that Customer’s use of the Services (excluding third party materials) in accordance with the Agreement infringes or misappropriates such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights. The foregoing obligation does not apply to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from (a) modification of the Services other than: (i) by or on behalf of Built; or (ii) with Built’s written approval in accordance with Built’s written specification, (b) combination of the Services (or any portion thereof) with any other product or service, (c) failure to timely implement any modifications, upgrades, replacements or enhancements made available to Customer by or on behalf of Built, (d) Customer Data, (e) Authorized User or other third-party’s Personal Information (unless required by Data Protection Laws), (f) Built implementing instructions or requests of Customer, or (g) any act, omission, or other matter described in , whether or not the same results in any claim or action against or Losses by any Built Indemnitee.
2. Customer Indemnification. Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Built and its affiliates and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each, a “Built Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Built Indemnitee resulting from any claim or action by a third party (other than an affiliate of a Built Indemnitee) to the extent that such Losses arise out of or result from, or are alleged to arise out of or result from (a) Customer’s use of the Services, (b) Customer Data, including any processing of Customer Data by or on behalf of Built in accordance with the Agreement, (c) any other materials or information (including any documents, data, specifications, content, or technology) provided by or on behalf of Customer or any Authorized User, (d) allegation of facts that, if true, would constitute Customer’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations under the Agreement, or (e) negligence or more culpable act or omission (including recklessness or willful misconduct) by Customer or any third party on behalf of Customer, in connection with the Agreement. The foregoing obligation does not apply to the extent that the alleged Losses arise from any act or other matter described in Section 8.1 to the extent Built is indemnifying Customer for such act or other matter.
3. Indemnification Procedure. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any claim or action for which such Party believes it is entitled to be indemnified. The Party seeking indemnification shall cooperate with the other Party at the indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The indemnitor shall promptly assume control of the defense and shall employ counsel of its choice to handle and defend the same, at the indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Party seeking indemnification may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing. The indemnitor shall not settle any claim or action in any manner that adversely affects the rights of the Party seeking indemnification without that Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the indemnitor fails or refuses to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Party seeking indemnification shall have the right, but no obligation, to defend against such claim or action, including settling such claim or action after giving notice to the indemnitor, in each case in such manner and on such terms as the Party seeking indemnification may deem appropriate. The Party seeking indemnification’s failure to perform any obligations under this Section 8.3 will not relieve the indemnitor of its obligations under this , except to the extent that the indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been prejudiced as a result of such failure.
4. Mitigation. If any of the Services are, or in Built’s opinion are likely to be, claimed to infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third-party Intellectual Property Right, or if Customer’s or any Authorized User’s use of the Services is enjoined or threatened to be enjoined, Built may, at its option and sole cost and expense (a) obtain the right for Customer to continue to use the Services materially as contemplated by the Agreement, (b) modify or replace the Services, in whole or in part, to seek to make the Services (as so modified or replaced) non-infringing, while providing materially equivalent features and functionality, in which case such modifications or replacements will constitute Services, as applicable, under the Agreement, or (c) by written notice to Customer, terminate this Agreement with respect to all or part of the Services and require Customer to immediately cease any use of the Services or any specified part or feature thereof, provided that if such termination occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to Customer’s compliance with its post-termination obligations set forth in Section 10, Customer will be entitled to a pro rata refund.
5. Sole Remedy. THIS SECTION 8 SETS FORTH CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDIES AND BUILT’S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THE SERVICES OR ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT INFRINGES, MISAPPROPRIATES, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATES ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.
9. Limitations of Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BUILT WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR CUSTOMER’S LOST REVENUES OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EVEN IF BUILT OR ITS AFFILIATES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF, KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE AND EVEN IF DIRECT DAMAGES DO NOT SATISFY A REMEDY. BUILT’S (AND ITS AFFILIATES’) TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM CLAIMS OR ACTIONS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNTS PAID TO BUILT BY CUSTOMER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
10. Term and Termination.

Following the Initial Term, this Agreement automatically renews for successive twelve (12) month terms (each, a “Renewal Term” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”) unless either Party provides notice of non-renewal to the other Party at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current Term.
2. Termination.
1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Built may terminate an Order Form, any SOW, or the Agreement generally without cause upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Customer.
2. In addition to any other express termination right set forth elsewhere in this Agreement either Party may terminate the Agreement, effective on written notice to the other Party, if (i) the other Party materially breaches the Agreement and such breach: (A) is incapable of cure; or (B) being capable of cure, remains uncured thirty (30) days after the non-breaching Party provides the breaching Party with written notice of such breach, or (ii) if the other Party: (A) becomes insolvent or is generally unable to pay, or fails to pay, its debts as they become due; (B) files or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or otherwise becomes subject, voluntarily or involuntarily, to any proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency Law, in each case that is not discharged within sixty (60) days; (C) makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (D) applies for or has appointed a receiver, trustee, custodian, or similar agent appointed by order of any court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of or sell any material portion of its property or business.
3. Effect of Termination or Expiration. Upon any expiration or termination of the Agreement, except as expressly otherwise provided in the Agreement:
1. all rights, licenses, consents, and authorizations granted by either Party to the other hereunder will immediately terminate;
2. each Party shall immediately cease all use of any Confidential Information of the other Party and (i) promptly return or destroy, at the Receiving Party’s election and subject to applicable Law, all documents and tangible materials containing, reflecting, incorporating, or based on Confidential Information; and (ii) permanently erase all Confidential Information from all systems the Receiving Party directly or indirectly controls, provided that, for clarity, Built’s obligations under this Section 10.3 do not apply to any Resultant Data or Usage Data; and
3. notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the Receiving Party may retain Confidential Information (i) to the extent and for so long as required by applicable Law and (ii) in the Receiving Party’s backups, archives, and disaster recovery systems until such Confidential Information is deleted in the ordinary course. For the avoidance of doubt, all information and materials described in this Section 10.3(c) will remain subject to all confidentiality, security, and other applicable requirements of the Agreement.
11. Miscellaneous.
1. Force Majeure. Built is excused from performance of the Agreement to the extent that performance is prevented, delayed or obstructed by causes beyond its reasonable control.
2. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any modification hereof in accordance with Section 11.6), together with any Order Form, any SOW, and the Privacy Policy, represents the sole and complete agreement between Customer and Built concerning its subject matter, and supersedes all prior agreements (both written and oral) between the Parties with respect thereto.
3. Severability. If any term or provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be reformed to the extent necessary to make it enforceable to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the Parties, and the remainder of the Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
4. Governing Law; Mediation; Arbitration.
1. Utah law governs the construction and interpretation of the Agreement without reference to its conflict of law principles.
2. The Parties shall first attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of or related to the Agreement (“Dispute”) shall first be submitted to the senior management of Built and Customer for attempted resolution of the Dispute. Senior management shall discuss the problem and negotiate in good faith to resolve the Dispute without necessity of any formal proceeding relating thereto. If senior management, within fifteen (15) calendar days of their first communication have not resolved the Dispute, the Parties shall immediately thereafter submit the Dispute to mediation with a mediator mutually chosen by the Parties.
3. If the chosen mediator is unable to resolve the Dispute within a reasonable time, as determined by the mediator (and not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days after the Parties meet for mediation), the mediator will issue a written statement to the Parties to that effect and the complaining Party may then pursue binding arbitration and the Parties will immediately thereafter submit the Dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect (the submission date to be deemed the “Arbitration Date”).
1. The Parties shall mutually choose a single commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving complex commercial contract disputes. If the Parties cannot agree upon the arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of the Arbitration Date, then a single arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
2. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant specific performance and to allocate between the Parties the costs of arbitration (including service fees, arbitrator fees and all other fees related to the arbitration) in such equitable manner as the arbitrator may determine.
3. The non-prevailing Party in the arbitration shall pay the prevailing Party’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable attorney fees and payment for the arbitrator).
4. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in a court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be.
5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may institute an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for preliminary injunctive relief pending a final decision by the arbitrator, provided that a permanent injunction and damages shall only be awarded by the arbitrator.
4. The Parties must institute any permitted legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to the Agreement exclusively in the federal or state courts in and for Salt Lake County, Utah, and each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action, or proceeding. Service of process, summons, notice, or other document by mail to such Party’s address set forth herein is effective service of process for any suit, action, or other proceeding brought in any such court. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to the Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
5. Notices. Any notices to Built or to Customer must be sent to Built’s or Customer’s, as applicable, address, via personal delivery, registered or certified mail, overnight courier, or email (with confirmation of transmission) and are deemed given (a) if delivered personally, upon receipt; (b) if delivered by registered or certified mail, three business days following deposit with the USPS; (c) if delivered by overnight courier, on the business day following deposit with such courier; and (d) if delivered by email, when sent, if sent during the recipient’s normal business hours, and otherwise on the next business day. Each Party’s address for service of notices is included on the applicable Order Form.
6. Changes to this Agreement. At certain times, Built may in its discretion need to make revisions to this Agreement. Built will notify Customer of any such changes by posting notices on through the Services or by emailing or otherwise notifying Customer, as appropriate in the circumstances. If Customer continues using the Services after thirty (30) days from Built’s notice, Customer is deemed to have accepted the revisions.
7. Assignment and Change of Control. Customer may not assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer any of Customer’s rights or obligations in the Agreement without Built’s prior written consent, and any such attempt is void. No permitted assignment, delegation, or transfer will relieve Customer of any of its obligations or performance under the Agreement. Built may terminate the Agreement in the event of a merger, reorganization or other transaction resulting in a change of control of the Customer, effective immediately upon notice of such termination to the Customer or to the surviving entity to which the Customer undergoes such change of control. Built may assign this Agreement in the event of a merger, reorganization or other transaction resulting in a change of control of Built. The Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of any respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties hereto.
8. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or confer upon any other person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of the Agreement.
9. Relationship of the Parties. The relationship between Built and Customer is one of independent contractors and nothing contained in the Agreement may be construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture, or other form of joint enterprise, employment, or fiduciary relationship between the Parties, and neither Party has authority to contract for or bind the other Party in any manner whatsoever.
10. Survival. Any provision that should by its nature survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement, does survive.
11. Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations could cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at Law, in equity, or otherwise.
12. Counterparts. The Parties may execute Order Forms and SOWs in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, but all of which together are deemed to be one and the same agreement.
13. Reservation of Rights. Built reserves for itself any right not expressly set forth in the Agreement.
