6.6 Termination of Processing. Patch My PC will cease Processing Customer Data upon (a) the termination or expiration of these Terms or (b) on the expiration of all of Customer’s licenses to the Software.

Customer shall indemnify and hold Patch My PC harmless for any breach of its obligations under this section.
Simply Put: Section 6 is our data protection agreement. It contains terms that may be required under privacy laws to ensure the protection of your data. It clarifies that, with regard to Customer Data—the data we process on your behalf—our processing shall be limited to what is necessary to provide our software and services. For clarity, Customer Data typically includes information like the names, contact information, and login credentials of your personnel that access our software and services; however, we do not process other data that may reside on the systems you patch using our software and services. (You can refer to section 6.12 for greater detail about what we call Customer Data.) We will not sell or share your Customer Data for cross-contextual behavioral advertising purposes. We shall use reasonable security measures when we use Customer Data. We will timely notify you of security incidents and assist you when needed to satisfy the requests for individuals to exercise their rights under applicable privacy laws. We also allow you to exercise reasonable oversight over our use of your Customer Data. Under Section 6, you also promise that you have obtained the explicit consent from individuals who are protected under privacy laws that restrict cross-border transfers of personal data to allow us to process your Customer Data in the United States.
Section 7: Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
7.1 Limitation of Liability. In no event will Patch My PC be held liable to Customer or any third party for any special, incidental, indirect, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, or damages for loss of business, loss of profits, business interruption, or loss of business information arising out of the use or inability to use the program, or for any claim by any other party, even if Patch My PC has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Except for its indemnification obligations below, Patch My PC’s entire liability with respect to its obligations under these Terms or otherwise with respect to the Software will not exceed the amount paid by the Customer to Patch My PC within the 12-month period preceding the incident or omission giving rise to the liability.
7.2 Indemnification. Customer and Patch My PC agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and third parties, for any losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) relating to or arising from their violation of any applicable laws, rules, or regulations. Further, Patch My PC agrees to indemnify Customer for claims brought against Customer alleging that the Software violates or infringes upon the intellectual property rights of a third party. The indemnified party reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by the other party, in which event the other party will fully cooperate in asserting any available defenses.
7.3 Remedy for Infringement. In the event a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction makes a determination that the Software infringes on or otherwise violates any third-party registered patent, trade secret, copyright, or trademark, or if Patch My PC determines that the Software likely infringes or otherwise violates a third party’s intellectual property rights, Patch My PC, at its sole option and expense, will: (a) modify the allegedly infringing or violating portion of the Software so as to make it non-infringing and non-violating; (b) replace the allegedly infringing or violating software, or any portion thereof, with a non-infringing and/or non-violating product having reasonably equivalent functionality; (c) obtain the right for Customer to continue using the allegedly infringing or violating portion of the Software; or (d) revoke the license to the allegedly infringing or violating Software and provide a pro-rata refund to Customer for all fees prepaid but unearned fees for the Software. Patch My PC will have no obligation under these Terms relating to any indemnification if a claim results from any of the following: (i) Customer’s continued use of the infringing or violating Software after Patch My PC makes one of the foregoing remedies available to Customer; (ii) Customer’s modification of the Software; or (iii) Customer’s use of the Software in any manner other than as permitted under these Terms.
7.4 Force Majeure. Any failure or delay by either party in the performance of its obligations pursuant to these Terms, except for Customer’s payment obligations, will not be deemed a default or breach of these Terms or a ground for termination to the extent such failure or delay is due to computer, Internet or telecommunications breakdowns, denial of service attacks, fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil unrest, rebellions or revolutions, strikes, supplier and third-party failure, lockouts, labor difficulties, quarantines, health related orders, or other similar actions taken by governmental authorities, or any similar cause beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing party.
Simply Put: Section 7 explains the limits on our liability for the use of our software and services, and explains the procedures we will follow if either of us is ever sued for the other’s violations of law. Section 7 also explains what we will do if any component of our software is found to infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights. And, Section 7 excuses both parties from performing their contractual obligations (other than timely fee payments) when prevented by circumstances outside their control.
Section 8: Termination
8.1 Termination for Convenience. Either party may terminate these Terms at any time without cause by providing 60 days prior written Notice to the other party. If Patch My PC terminates pursuant to this section it will, within 30 business days, repay a pro-rata refund for unused fees which were prepaid by Customer. No refund is due if Customer terminates pursuant to this section, except as provided in Section 5.3.
8.2. Changes to Terms. Patch My PC reserves the right to change these Terms. Patch My PC may change these Terms with respect to users of Patch My PC’s SaaS offering by posting the updated Terms in a conspicuous location within the SaaS. For other versions of the Software, Patch My PC may change these terms by providing Customer with Notice of the changes. The most current version of these Terms will supersede all previous versions. If Patch My PC revises these Terms, Customer may send Notice to Patch My PC within 14 days that it rejects the change to the Terms. In that event, these Terms shall continue to apply for 30 days after the date on which Customer sent such notification. At that time, these Terms, along with all licenses granted by Patch My PC to Customer, will terminate and Patch My PC will, within 30 business days thereafter, provide Customer a pro-rata refund for any prepaid but unused fees.
8.3 Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate these Terms due to the other party’s material breach of these Terms by providing notice and a 30-business day window to cure the material breach. If Patch My PC does not cure its material breach, then Customer may terminate these Terms and Patch My PC will, within 30-business days, repay a pro-rata refund for unused fees which were prepaid by Customer. If Customer does not cure its material breach, then Patch My PC may suspend its license, terminate these Terms, and pursue any other remedy at law.
8.4 Customer’s Obligation Upon Termination. Upon termination of these Terms, Customer’s licenses to Patch My PC’s Software shall automatically terminate. If Customer uses the Software on an on-premises basis, Customer will destroy any copies of the Software, and upon request by Patch my PC, certify that all copies have been destroyed, except as retained in Customer’s offline backup system. If Customer retains copies of the on-premises version of the Software in an offline backup program, Customer shall promptly destroy or delete such copies once they are no longer required to be retained under such program.
8.4 Surviving Provisions. All provisions relating to confidentiality, proprietary rights, non-disclosure, indemnification, payment, and limitation of liability will survive any termination of these Terms. All provisions relating to Data Protection will survive as set forth in Section 6.
Simply Put: Section 8 explains how either party can terminate the Terms (which also terminates any licenses to our software) and identifies parts of the Terms that survive termination. Section 8 allows either of us to terminate the Terms after providing a 60-day notice period to the other.
Section 9: General
9.1 Warranty. Patch My PC represents that the Software will operate materially as it is designed and that it uses commercially reasonable efforts to develop the Software.

9.3 Governing Law and Venue. Unless Customer selects Delaware as an alternative using the procedures set forth below, these Terms will be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Colorado without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

Customer and Patch My PC also agree that the venue of any litigation arising out of or related to these Terms or the Software shall be the state or federal courts in Denver, Colorado. The parties waive any objection to such venue on the basis of venue, forum non conveniens, or related doctrines. In no event shall the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods or the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act apply to any dispute between the parties arising out of or related to these Terms or the Software. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, within 14 days of accepting these Terms, Customer may select the law of the state of Delaware as the governing law by providing Notice to Patch My PC specifying such state; in such event, the laws of the State of Delaware shall be deemed to replace the laws of the State of Colorado in the foregoing text in this paragraph. Likewise, within 14 days of accepting these Terms, Customer may select the courts of the state of Delaware as the venue for any dispute between the parties by providing Notice to Patch My PC specifying such state; in such event, the courts of the State of Delaware shall be deemed to replace the courts of Denver, Colorado as the venue for such disputes.
9.4 Integration Clause. These Terms supersede all previous oral and written agreements including any terms and conditions included in Customer’s purchase order and it constitutes the complete and entire agreement of the parties. Patch My PC may revise these Terms as set forth in Section 8.2, above. The parties may also revise these Terms in a document signed by both parties. No other methods of revising or amending these Terms shall be effective.
9.5 Headings and Other Materials. Section headings and any overview or summary of these Terms are only for convenience and are not to be considered a part of these Terms or be used to define, limit, or construe the scope of any term or provision of these Terms.
