5. Confidentiality
"Confidential Information" refers to any non-public information, materials or data disclosed by Rapid7 to
Participant, whether in written, oral, electronic, or any other form, that is marked as confidential or is
reasonably understood to be confidential due to its nature. Confidential Information includes, but is not
limited to, source code, software, hardware, and other inventions or developments (regardless of the stage of

Participant may use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of business development or for any
other purpose specified by Rapid7, and shall not use it for any other purpose without the express written
consent of Rapid7. Any taking, downloading or other prohibited use of information that Rapid7 considers
confidential or proprietary constitutes theft of Rapid7 property and may be deemed to be a misappropriation
of Rapid7’s trade secrets. Additionally, Participant must take steps to prevent the disclosure of Rapid7
Confidential Information that Participant is authorized to use. Participant shall not transfer, publish, use, or

free, transferable license to host, use, reproduce, display, and distribute such content for purposes of operating
and improving the Channel.
Participant shall not post content it does not have rights to share. Participant agrees that trademarks, service
marks, trade or company names, product and service identifications, internet domains/internet addresses,
logos, artwork and other symbols and devices associated with Rapid7 and/or Rapid7’s offerings (the “Rapid7
Marks”) are and shall remain Rapid7’s property. Participant may not register or use any domain name,
business name, email address, social media handle, or other designation of identity or origin containing or
confusingly similar to any Rapid7 Marks without Rapid7’s prior written permission, and Participant shall
assign any such designations to Rapid7 at its expense upon Rapid7’s demand. Participant will not incorporate
Rapid7 Marks into its product names, service names, or any other similar designations.
All right, title and interest in and to the Rapid7 offerings and proprietary information, including but not
limited to the concepts and technology inherent in the Rapid7 offerings and the deliverables, and all
intellectual property rights related thereto, shall at all times remain the sole and exclusive property of Rapid7.
7. Disclaimers
The Channel and all content are provided “AS IS” and for informational purposes only. Rapid7 does not

HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).
THESE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED IN
TORT, CONTRACT, OR OTHER THEORIES, AND WHETHER RAPID7 KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THESE TERMS, THE REMEDIES SET
FORTH HEREIN SHALL APPLY EVEN IF SUCH REMEDIES FAIL THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

attorneys’ fees) arising from Participant’s content, conduct, or breach of these Terms.
10.Termination
Rapid7 may terminate or suspend your participation at any time, with or without notice. If Participant’s

Participant must immediately stop accessing the Channel. Rapid7 may remove or delete any related data
consistent with its retention and privacy practices.
11.Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and any dispute arising from, out of, or relating to the Channel or these Terms are governed by
the laws of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. To the extent
permitted by law, the state and federal courts located in Boston, Massachusetts will have exclusive jurisdiction
for any disputes. The parties agree to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a jury trial
with respect to any dispute.
12.Assignment
Participant may not assign or novate these Terms or any of your rights under these Terms, nor delegate any
of your obligations, to any third party, voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by merger, consolidation,
