GoTab reserves the right to modify the Fees payable hereunder upon written notice to Merchant at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-current term. GoTab will be reimbursed only for expenses that are expressly provided for in a Order Form or an SOW or that have been approved in advance in writing by Merchant, provided GoTab has furnished such documentation for authorized expenses as Merchant may reasonably request.

4.4 Sales Tax Remittance Service. Merchant may elect to utilize a service through GoTab whereby GoTab remits sales tax to a designated tax collection authority on behalf of Merchant. In such instances, the GoTab Solution will be configured to calculate, collect and remit such sales tax on behalf of Merchant based on the sales data of Merchant. Merchant acknowledges that it is their responsibility to provide accurate and complete information regarding their sales tax obligations and to review and verify the accuracy of the sales tax remitted by GoTab.

Merchant agrees that any use of the GoTab Solution contrary to or in violation of the representations and warranties of Merchant in this Section 5.2 constitutes unauthorized and improper use of the GoTab Solution.

7.1 Limited Warranty. GoTab represents and warrants that it will provide the Services and perform its other obligations under this Agreement in a professional and workmanlike manner substantially consistent with general industry standards. Provided that Merchant notifies GoTab in writing of the breach within thirty (30) days following performance of the defective Services, specifying the breach in reasonable detail, GoTab will, as Merchant’s sole and exclusive remedy, for any breach of the foregoing, re-perform the Services which gave rise to the breach or, at GoTab’s option, refund the fees paid by Merchant for the Services which gave rise to the breach. GoTab further warrants to Merchant that the GoTab Solution will operate free from Errors during the Term, provided that such warranty will not apply to failures to conform to the Documentation to the extent such failures arise, in whole or in part, from (a) any use of the GoTab Solution not in accordance with this Agreement or as specified in the Documentation; (b) any use of the GoTab Solution in combination with other products, equipment, software or data not supplied by GoTab; or (c) any modification of the GoTab Solution by any person other than GoTab or its authorized agents.

NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL LIMIT OR EXCLUDE EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OF A PARTY OR ITS EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS OR FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY.
8.3 Basis of the Bargain. The parties agree that the limitations of liability set forth in this Section 8 will survive and continue in full force and effect despite any failure of consideration or of an exclusive remedy. The parties acknowledge that the prices have been set and the Agreement entered into in reliance upon these limitations of liability and that all such limitations form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties.
9.1 Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means any nonpublic information of a party (the “Disclosing Party”), whether disclosed orally or in written or digital media, that is identified as “confidential” or with a similar legend at the time of such disclosure or that the receiving party (the “Receiving Party”) knows or should have known is the confidential or proprietary information of the Disclosing Party.

The Receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information to Authorized Users (with respect to Merchant) or to those employees who have a need to know, who have confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth herein, and who have been informed of the confidential nature of such information (with respect to GoTab). In addition, the Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that it protects its own proprietary information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than reasonable care. At the Disclosing Party’s request or upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Receiving Party will return to the Disclosing Party or destroy (or permanently erase in the case of electronic files) all copies of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party does not have a continuing right to use under this Agreement, and the Receiving Party will, upon request, certify to the Disclosing Party its compliance with this sentence.

In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is necessary for the Receiving Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement or is required by law or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body, provided that (to the extent legally permissible) the Receiving Party promptly notifies the Disclosing Party in writing of such required disclosure and cooperates with the Disclosing Party if the Disclosing Party seeks an appropriate protective order.
10.1 By GoTab. GoTab will defend at its expense any suit brought against Merchant, and will pay any settlement GoTab makes or approves, or any damages finally awarded in such suit, insofar as such suit is based on a claim by any third party alleging that the GoTab Solution infringes such third party’s patents, copyrights or trade secret rights under applicable laws of any jurisdiction within the United States of America. If any portion of the GoTab Solution becomes, or in GoTab’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement, GoTab may, at GoTab’s option: (a) procure for Merchant the right to continue using the GoTab Solution; (b) replace the GoTab Solution with non-infringing software or services which do not materially impair the functionality of the GoTab Solution; (c) modify the GoTab Solution so that it becomes non-infringing; or (d) terminate this Agreement and refund any unused prepaid Fees for the remainder of the term then in effect, and upon such termination, Merchant will immediately cease all use of the GoTab Solution and Documentation.

10.2 By Merchant. Merchant will defend at its expense any suit brought against GoTab, and will pay any settlement Merchant makes or approves, or any damages finally awarded in such suit, insofar as such suit is based on a claim arising out of or relating to (a) an Exclusion, or (b) Merchant’s breach or alleged breach of Sections 5.2. This Section 10.2 states the sole and exclusive remedy of GoTab and the entire liability of Merchant, or any of the officers, directors, employees, shareholders, contractors or representatives of the foregoing, for the claims and actions described herein.
10.3 Procedure. The indemnifying party’s obligations as set forth above are expressly conditioned upon each of the foregoing: (a) the indemnified party will promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of any threatened or actual claim or suit; (b) the indemnifying party will have sole control of the defense or settlement of any claim or suit; and (c) the indemnified party will cooperate with the indemnifying party to facilitate the settlement or defense of any claim or suit.

12.7 Force Majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party (except the payment of Fees owed) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, failure of network connections, shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood, or any other event beyond the control of such party, provided that such party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the other party of the cause of such delay and to resume performance as soon as possible.
12.8 Independent Contractors. Merchant’s relationship to GoTab is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. Merchant will not have and will not represent to any third party that it has, any authority to act on behalf of GoTab.

GoTab further warrants to Merchant that the GoTab Solution will operate free from Errors during the Term, provided that such warranty will not apply to failures to conform to the Documentation to the extent such failures arise, in whole or in part, from (a) any use of the GoTab Solution not in accordance with this Agreement or as specified in the Documentation; (b) any use of the GoTab Solution in combination with other products, equipment, software or data not supplied by GoTab; or (c) any modification of the GoTab Solution by any person other than GoTab or its authorized agents.

GoTab will defend at its expense any suit brought against Merchant, and will pay any settlement GoTab makes or approves, or any damages finally awarded in such suit, insofar as such suit is based on a claim by any third party alleging that the GoTab Solution infringes such third party’s patents, copyrights or trade secret rights under applicable laws of any jurisdiction within the United States of America.

GoTab further warrants to Merchant that the GoTab Solution will operate free from Errors during the Term, provided that such warranty will not apply to failures to conform to the Documentation to the extent such failures arise, in whole or in part, from (a) any use of the GoTab Solution not in accordance with this Agreement or as specified in the Documentation; (b) any use of the GoTab Solution in combination with other products, equipment, software or data not supplied by GoTab; or (c) any modification of the GoTab Solution by any person other than GoTab or its authorized agents.

In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is necessary for the Receiving Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement or is required by law or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body, provided that (to the extent legally permissible) the Receiving Party promptly notifies the Disclosing Party in writing of such required disclosure and cooperates with the Disclosing Party if the Disclosing Party seeks an appropriate protective order.
10.1 By GoTab. GoTab will defend at its expense any suit brought against Merchant, and will pay any settlement GoTab makes or approves, or any damages finally awarded in such suit, insofar as such suit is based on a claim by any third party alleging that the GoTab Solution infringes such third party’s patents, copyrights or trade secret rights under applicable laws of any jurisdiction within the United States of America.
