- Termination.
- Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, without further liability or obligation to the other party upon thirty (30) days prior written notice.
- Should either party default in the performance of this Agreement or materially breach any of its obligations under this Agreement, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement immediately if the breaching party fails to cure the breach within five (5) business days after having received written notice by the non-breaching party of the breach or default, except in the event of a material breach of Section 4 or Exhibit B of this Agreement by either party, in which case the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon providing written notice to the other.
- Upon termination and/or expiration of this Agreement, Client shall be obligated to pay the amounts owing to Provider for Services performed up to the effective date of termination.
- Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, Provider shall immediately cease performing the Services.

THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT.
- Client acknowledges and agrees that the compensation set forth in any applicable SOW pursuant to this Agreement reflects the overall allocation of risk between the parties and that the total amount paid under the SOW out of which a claim arises is Client’s exclusive remedy under this Agreement. The foregoing is an essential basis of the bargain between the parties and a modification of such provisions would affect substantially the amount charged by Provider hereunder. In consideration of the compensation hereunder, Client agrees to such allocation of risk and hereby waives any and all rights, through equitable relief or otherwise, to subsequently seek a modification of such provisions or allocation of risk.
- Provider shall not be responsible for any impairments to the Services caused by acts or omissions of Client or any of its agents, or other cause reasonably within Client’s control.

1. Purpose. The Parties intend to enter into that certain Services Agreement on a date even herewith and, in connection with the Services Agreement, each Party may disclose to the other Party certain confidential, proprietary, technical, and business information that the disclosing Party wishes the receiving Party to treat as confidential.
2. “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by a Party to the other Party, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or by inspection of tangible objects, including, without limitation, documents, prototypes, samples, materials, processes, software, techniques, know-how, trade secrets, methods, client/customer list and information, financial information, operational information, or similar information, whether or not the same is designated as “Confidential,” “Proprietary” or a similar designation. Information communicated orally will be considered Confidential Information if the information is confirmed in writing as being Confidential Information within a reasonable time after the initial disclosure. Confidential Information may also include information disclosed to the disclosing Party by third parties. Confidential Information will not, however, include any information that:
(i) was publicly known and made generally available in the public domain prior to the time of the disclosing Party’s disclosure;
(ii) becomes publicly known and made generally available after the disclosing Party’s disclosure to the receiving Party through no action or inaction of the receiving Party;
(iii) is already in the receiving Party’s possession at the time of the disclosing Party’s disclosure, as shown by the receiving Party’s files and records;
(iv) is obtained by the receiving Party from a third party without (to the receiving Party’s knowledge) a breach of the third party’s obligations of confidentiality; or
(v) is independently developed by the receiving Party without use of or reference to the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as shown by the receiving Party’s files and records.
3. Non-use and Nondisclosure. No Party will use the other Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than to the Services Agreement. No Party will disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to third parties or to such Party’s employees or contractors, except to those employees and contractors of the receiving Party who are required to have the information in order to perform its obligations under the Services Agreement. A Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information if required by law so long as the receiving Party notifies the disclosing Party promptly in writing prior to the disclosure and assists in obtaining an order protecting the information from public disclosure. No Party will reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile any prototypes, software, or other tangible objects that embody the other Party’s Confidential Information and that are provided to the Party in accordance with this MNDA.
4. Maintenance of Confidentiality. Each Party will take reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of the other Party’s Confidential Information. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party will take at least those measures that it takes to protect its own most highly confidential information and, prior to any disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information to its employees and contractors, will have the employees and contractors sign a non-use and nondisclosure agreement that is substantially similar in content to this MNDA. No Party will make any copies of the other party’s Confidential Information unless approved in writing by the other Party.
5. Return of Materials. All documents and other tangible objects containing or representing Confidential Information and all copies of them will be and remain the property of the disclosing Party. Upon the disclosing Party’s request, the receiving Party will promptly deliver to the disclosing Party all Confidential Information, without retaining any copies.
6. Non-Solicitation. The Parties covenant and agree that they shall not directly or indirectly, on their own behalf or on behalf of any other person, firm, partnership, corporation, association or other entity, induce or solicit or attempt to induce or solicit any person to leave the employ of, or contractual engagement with, the other Party.
7. No License. Nothing in this MNDA is intended to grant any rights to either Party under any patent, copyright, or other intellectual property right whatsoever of the other Party, nor will this MNDA grant any Party any rights in or to the Confidential Information of the other Party, except as expressly set forth in this MNDA.
8. Term. The receiving Party’s obligations under this MNDA will survive until all Confidential Information of the disclosing Party becomes publicly known and made generally available through no action or inaction of the receiving Party.
9. Remedies. Each Party acknowledges that any violation or threatened violation of this MNDA may cause irreparable injury to the other Party, entitling the other Party to seek injunctive relief, without the need to post a bond, in addition to all legal remedies.
10. Miscellaneous. This Agreement binds and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and assigns. This MNDA is governed by Nevada law, without reference to conflict of laws principles of any jurisdiction. This document contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to this MNDA’s subject matter. Any failure to enforce any provision of this MNDA will not constitute a waiver of that provision or of any other provision. This MNDA may not be amended, nor any obligation waived, except by a writing signed by both Parties. This MNDA may be executed in two or more counterparts, via electronic transmission, each of which is deemed to be an original, but all of which together constitute the same agreement.
