You expressly acknowledge that SkyKick, its licensors and its end users retain all worldwide right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Material, including all rights in patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, or any applications for the foregoing, trade secrets, know-how, data, and all other proprietary rights under the laws of the United States, any other jurisdiction or any treaty (“IP Rights”), and you do not acquire any rights in the Licensed Materials, express or implied, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

You may use this Confidential Information only as necessary in exercising your rights granted in this Agreement. You may not disclose any of this Confidential Information to any third party without SkyKick’s prior written consent. You agree that you will protect this Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that you would use to protect your own confidential and proprietary information of a similar nature and in no event with less than a reasonable degree of care.

Other Important Terms

Compliance with Laws; Export and Import

Each party will comply with all applicable foreign, federal, state, and local laws, rules and regulations. The Licensed Material is subject to U.S. export laws and may be subject to import and use laws of the country where it is delivered or used. You agree to abide by these laws. Under these laws, the Licensed Material may not be sold, leased, downloaded, moved, exported, re-exported, or transferred across borders without a license, or approval from the relevant government authority, to any country or to any foreign national restricted by these laws, including countries embargoed by the U.S. Government (currently Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Northern Sudan and Syria); or to any restricted or denied end-user including, but not limited to, any person or entity prohibited by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control; or for any restricted end-use. You will maintain throughout the Term all rights and licenses that are required with respect to your Services.

Warranty Disclaimer

THE LICENSED MATERIAL IS PROVIDED TO YOU “AS IS”, “WHERE IS”, WITH ALL FAULTS AND SKYKICK HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT, LOSS OF DATA, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. SKYKICK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE LICENSED MATERIAL OR ANY OTHER SKYKICK PRODUCT OR SERVICE PROVIDED HEREUNDER WILL MEET ANY OF YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT USE OF SUCH LICENSED MATERIAL OR OTHER PRODUCTS OR SERVICES WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, VIRUS-FREE OR SECURE. TO THE EXTENT THAT SKYKICK MAY NOT AS A MATTER OF APPLICABLE LAW DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY, THE SCOPE AND DURATION OF SUCH WARRANTY SHALL BE THE MINIMUM PERMITTED PURSUANT TO SUCH LAW.

Indemnification

You shall defend SkyKick against any and all actions, demands, claims and suits (including without limitation product liability claims), and indemnify and hold SkyKick harmless from any and all liabilities, damages and costs (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) to the extent arising out of: (i) your use of the Licensed Material in any manner that is inconsistent with this Agreement; (ii) the performance, promotion, sale or distribution of your Services; (iii) your failure to comply with any applicable laws; or (iv) your breach of your confidential obligations hereunder; or (v) your gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event SkyKick seeks indemnification or defense from you under this provision, SkyKick will promptly notify you in writing of the claim(s) brought against SkyKick for which it seeks indemnification or defense. SkyKick reserves the right, at its option and sole discretion, to assume full control of the defense of claims with legal counsel of its choice. You may not enter into any third party agreement, which would, in any manner whatsoever, affect the rights of SkyKick, constitute an admission of fault by SkyKick or bind SkyKick in any manner, without the prior written consent of SkyKick. In the event SkyKick assumes control of the defense of such claim, SkyKick shall not settle any such claim requiring payment from you without your prior written approval.

Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL SKYKICK BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY END USERS FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO USE, DATA, BUSINESS, GOODWILL OR PROFITS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. IN ANY CASE, SKYKICK’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED $50.00 USD. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM ANY CLAIM BASED UPON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. INSOFAR AS APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS ANY LIMITATION ON LIABILITY HEREIN, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT SUCH LIMITATION WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY MODIFIED, BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT SO AS TO MAKE THE LIMITATION COMPLIANT WITH APPLICABLE LAW. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITIES SET FORTH HEREIN ARE AGREED ALLOCATIONS OF RISK AND SUCH LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.

Updates

SkyKick may update or modify this Agreement and other terms and conditions, from time to time at its sole discretion by posting the changes on this site or by otherwise notifying you (such notice may be via email). You acknowledge that these updates and modifications may adversely affect how your Service accesses or communicates with the SkyKick API. If any change is unacceptable to you, your only recourse is to cease all use of the Licensed Material. Your continued access or use of the Licensed Material will constitute binding acceptance of the such updates and modifications.

Miscellaneous

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior proposals, understandings and contemporaneous communications. Any modification to this Agreement must be in a writing signed by both you and SkyKick. You may not assign any of the rights or obligations granted hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, contract, merger (whether you are the surviving or disappearing entity), equity or asset sale, consolidation, dissolution, through government action or otherwise, except with the prior written consent of SkyKick. Any attempted assignment in violation of this paragraph is null and void, and SkyKick may terminate this Agreement. This Agreement does not create or imply any partnership, agency or joint venture. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Washington, without regard to or application of conflicts of law rules or principles. All claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts in Seattle, Washington and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts and agree not to object to the venue of such courts. Despite the foregoing, you agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for SkyKick in the event of a breach or threatened breach of a provision of this Agreement protecting SkyKick’s IP Rights or Confidential Information, and that in the event of such a breach or threat, SkyKick, in addition to any other remedies to which it is entitled, is entitled to such preliminary or injunctive relief (including an order prohibiting Company from taking actions in breach of such provisions), without the need for posting bond, and specific performance as may be appropriate. The parties agree that neither the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, nor the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) shall apply to this Agreement, regardless of the states in which the parties do business or are incorporated. No waiver by SkyKick of any covenant or right under this Agreement will be effective unless memorialized in a writing duly authorized by SkyKick. If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
