4.3 Taxes. Fees are exclusive of all local, state, federal, and foreign taxes, levies, or duties of any nature (“Taxes”), and Customer is responsible for payment of all Taxes, excluding only United States taxes based on PAT’s income. If PAT has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible pursuant to this Section 4.3, the appropriate amount will be invoiced to and paid by Customer, unless Customer provides PAT with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

4.4 Credit Check. Customer hereby authorizes PAT, or its designated agents, to obtain commercial credit reports regarding Customer throughout the Term. PAT may rely on such information to establish, maintain, or modify Customer's credit limit or payment terms.

6. Confidentiality.

6.1 Confidential Information. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all non-public information disclosed by a party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as “Confidential,” “Proprietary,” or the like and/or information that the Receiving Party should reasonably understand as being confidential or proprietary to the Disclosing Party given the nature of the information and the circumstances of the disclosure, including without limitation, the Agreement and the terms set forth in the Order Form (which will be deemed Confidential Information of both parties), business and marketing plans, financial information, technology and technical information, designs, and business processes. Confidential Information will not include any information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without the Receiving Party's breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (ii) was in the rightful possession or known by the Receiving Party prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (iii) is received from a third party who obtained such Confidential Information without any third party's breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without the Receiving Party's breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party.

The Receiving Party will not disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential information, for any purpose other than to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under the Agreement, and will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in the same manner that it protects its own Confidential Information of like kind, but in no event will the Receiving Party exercise less than reasonable care in protecting such Confidential Information. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors, affiliates, and other representatives having a legitimate need to know, provided that such representatives are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective of the Disclosing Party than this Section 6 and that the Receiving Party remains responsible for compliance by any such representative with the terms of this Section 6. The Receiving Party’s duties with respect to Confidential Information under the Agreement expire two (2) years from the date of its disclosure hereunder (except for trade secrets, which shall remain subject to the terms of the Agreement for so long as they constitute trade secrets).

6.3 Compelled Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it will provide the Disclosing Party with prior written notice of such compelled disclosure and reasonable assistance (at Disclosing Party's cost) if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.

6.4 Remedies. If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of this Section 6, the Disclosing Party will have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the parties that any other available remedies are inadequate.

PAT represents and warrants that the Services and Professional Services, as applicable, will be provided in all material respects in accordance with the Documentation and otherwise be performed in a manner consistent with generally accepted industry standards. Customer’s sole remedy and PAT’s sole obligation for any such failure will be for PAT to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct such non-compliance, provided that in the event such non-compliance cannot be corrected within thirty (30) days, Customer may terminate the Agreement and receive a prorated refund for any prepaid, unused Fees.

7.4 Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 7, THE SERVICES, THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, THE REPORTS, AND ALL RELATED DELIVERABLES AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” PAT MAKES NO ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED (EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW), OR STATUTORY, AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER.

The Agreement does not confer any benefits on any third party unless expressly stated therein.

Subject to the foregoing, the Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

11.8 Notices. Any notice required or permitted by the Agreement will be in writing and will be sent by facsimile, email, courier, or personal delivery to the address provided above or at such other address for which such party gives notice hereunder. Notice is effective upon receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer consents to receive electronic communications that may be sent by PAT (including through the Services, such as posting on Customer’s account) and any such communication will constitute notice under this Section 11.8.

11.9 Entire Agreement. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements regarding the subject matter hereof.
