In addition, Customer shall own all right, title and interest to the Results obtained by Customer through Customer’s use of the Services. For purposes of this Agreement, “Results” shall mean the data based on Customer Data resulting from Customer’s use of the Service, but does not include any dashboards for displaying results, report templates or other components of the Service used by Rapid7. Rapid7 owns all right, title, and interest in and to Rapid7’s trade secrets, its Confidential Information, or other proprietary rights in any material used by Rapid7 or presented to Customer, whether such was developed prior to the Services, independent of this Agreement, or in performance of the Services (each, “Rapid7 IP”), including but not limited to, documentation, software, designs, inventions, discoveries, specifications, improvements, tools, models, know-how, methodologies, analysis frameworks, and report formats. Customer will have a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use any Rapid7 IP incorporated into any Deliverable, for Customer’s internal business purposes only, upon Customer's payment in full of all undisputed amounts due hereunder. Rapid7 may incorporate the Rapid7 IP in future releases of any of its products or services, provided Customer Data or Customer Confidential Information is not included in any Rapid7 IP.

2.3 Rapid7 Personnel. Rapid7 shall have sole discretion in staffing the Services and may assign the performance of any portion of the Services to any subcontractor, except that Customer may request the use of Rapid7 personnel in any SOW or at the time Customer schedules the Services. In the event that Rapid7 subcontracts any portion of the Services, Rapid7 shall be fully responsible for the acts and omissions of any such subcontractor and shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement.

2.4 Customer Systems. Customer represents and warrants that it has authorization from the owner for Rapid7 to perform the Services on the networks, systems, IP addresses, assets, and/or hardware as instructed by Customer.

2.5 Managed Services. To the extent Managed Services include any Rapid7 software, Customer is granted a license to such software subject to the applicable license terms. Such license will be for the term of the Managed Services only.

If Customer reschedules the Services after they have begun, Customer will forfeit five days of Services, or the number of days remaining on the Services, whichever is fewer. Customer will also be responsible for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Rapid7 due to such rescheduling. If performance of the Professional Services is delayed by Customer’s acts or omissions, including Customer’s failure to meet the requirements set forth in an SOW, Customer will forfeit the duration of such delay from its Professional Services time.

All fees are non-refundable, unless otherwise stated herein. In the event an SOW requires travel by Rapid7 to a Customer designated site, Customer shall also reimburse Rapid7 for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Rapid7 in connection with delivery of the Services. Customer shall be responsible for remitting all taxes levied on any transaction under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all federal, state, and local sales taxes, levies and assessments, and local withholding taxes in Customer’s jurisdiction, if any, excluding, however, any taxes based on Rapid7's income. In the event Customer is required to withhold taxes from its payment or withholding taxes are subsequently required to be paid to a local taxing jurisdiction, Customer is obligated to pay such tax, and Rapid7, as applicable, will receive the SOW payment amount as agreed to net of any such taxes. Customer shall provide to Rapid7 written evidence that such withholding tax payment was made.

4. CONFIDENTIALITY

4.1 Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means information provided by one party to the other party which is designated in writing as confidential or proprietary, as well as information which a reasonable person familiar with the disclosing party’s business and the industry in which it operates would know is of a confidential or proprietary nature. A party will not disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party, nor make use of any of the other party’s Confidential Information except in its performance under this Agreement.

7.2 Limitation on Amount of Liability. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR MORE THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER TO RAPID7 HEREUNDER DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, EXCEPT THAT THE LIMITATION IN THIS SECTION 7.2 SHALL NOT APPLY TO: (I) VIOLATIONS OF A PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY THE OTHER PARTY; OR (II) A PARTY’S EXPRESS INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

Either party may also terminate this Agreement upon no less than thirty days’ prior written notice to the other party for any reason if at such time there are no outstanding SOWs currently in effect. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement shall survive such termination. Unless either party provides the other with written notice of its election not to renew the term for any Managed Services at least thirty days prior to such renewal date, the term for any Managed Services will renew for a term of one year at the rate listed on the applicable SOW. In connection with any renewal term, Rapid7 reserves the right to change the rates, applicable charges, and usage policies and to introduce new charges for any subsequent term, upon providing Customer written notice thereof (which may be provided by e-mail) at least 60 days prior to the end of the then current term for any Managed Services.

9. INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 By Rapid7. Rapid7 will indemnify Customer from and against all costs, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of a third party claim alleging that the Services infringe or misappropriate any intellectual property rights of such third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Rapid7 have any obligations or liability under this Section arising from: (i) use of any Services in a manner not anticipated by this Agreement or in combination with materials not furnished by Rapid7, and (ii) any content, information, or data provided by Customer or other third parties. If the Services are or are likely to become subject to a claim of infringement or misappropriation, then Rapid7 will, at its sole option and expense, either: (i) obtain for the Customer the right to continue using the Services; (ii) replace or modify the Services to be non-infringing and substantially equivalent to the infringing Services; or (iii) if options (i) and (ii) above cannot be accomplished despite the reasonable efforts of Rapid7, then Rapid7 may terminate Customer’s rights to use the infringing Services and will refund pro-rata any prepaid fees for the infringing portion of the Services. THE RIGHTS GRANTED TO CUSTOMER UNDER THIS SECTION 9.1 SHALL BE CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT BY THE SERVICES OF ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT, OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHT.
