If Customer purchases through a Marketplace or Reseller, Customer will be responsible for full payment of the fees for the Subscription Term, regardless of usage, payment or billing terms between Customer and the Marketplace or Reseller. 

3.4 Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, all payments by Customer hereunder are non-refundable and shall be made free and clear of and without reduction for all applicable withholding, sales or use, goods and services, value-added, consumption or other similar fees or taxes imposed by any government (other than taxes on the net income of Docker), which shall be paid by Customer. Accordingly, if you are required to withhold any taxes on the amounts payable to Docker hereunder, you shall pay Docker such additional amounts as are necessary to ensure receipt by Docker of the full amount that Docker would have received but for the deduction on account of such withholding. You shall provide Docker with official receipts issued by the appropriate governmental agency, or such other evidence as is reasonably requested by Docker to establish that such taxes have been paid. Where applicable law requires you to self-assess or reverse-charge any taxes, you shall be responsible for complying with such law. In such a case, you undertake to provide Docker with your valid VAT registration number that is relevant to the Service provided under the terms of this Agreement. The amounts of any taxes required to be paid by Docker will be added to Docker’s invoice, and you shall promptly remit such amounts to Docker, as the collection agent, upon invoice.

11. Confidentiality.

11.1 Definition. “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by one party (“Discloser”) to the other (“Recipient”), directly or indirectly, in writing, orally or by inspection of tangible objects, which is designated as “Confidential,” “Proprietary” or some similar designation, or learned by Recipient under circumstances in which such information would reasonably be understood to be confidential.

11.2 Exceptions. The confidentiality obligations in this Section 11 shall not apply with respect to any information which Recipient can demonstrate: (a) was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed to Recipient or has become in the public domain through no act or omission of Recipient; (b) was known to Recipient, without restriction, at the time of disclosure as shown by the files of Recipient in existence at the time of disclosure; (c) was disclosed by Recipient with the prior written approval of Discloser; (d) was independently developed by Recipient without any use of Discloser’s Confidential Information; or (e) became known to Recipient, without restriction, from a source other than Discloser without breach of this Agreement by Recipient and otherwise not knowingly in violation of Discloser’s rights.

Recipient agrees to restrict access to such Confidential Information to those employees, agents, contractors, or consultants of Recipient who need to know such Confidential Information for performing as contemplated hereunder and are bound by confidentiality obligations no less protective than those contained in this Agreement. Recipient shall exercise the same degree of care to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of Discloser’s Confidential Information to others as it takes to preserve and safeguard its own information of like importance, but in no event less than reasonable care.

11.4 Compelled Disclosure. If Recipient is compelled by a court or other competent authority or applicable law to disclose Confidential Information of Discloser, it shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, give Discloser prompt written notice and shall provide Discloser with reasonable cooperation at Discloser’s expense so that Discloser may take steps to oppose such disclosure or obtain a protective order.

11.5 Injunctive Relief. Recipient acknowledges that breach of the confidentiality obligations may cause irreparable harm to Discloser, the extent of which may be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, Recipient agrees that Discloser may be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief in the event of breach of an obligation of confidentiality by Recipient, and that Discloser shall not be required to post a bond or show irreparable harm in order to obtain such injunctive relief.

11.6 Return of Confidential Information. As between the parties, Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Discloser. At any time, upon Discloser’s reasonable request, Recipient shall promptly (and in any event within 30 days) return to Discloser or destroy, at the election of the Discloser, any Confidential Information of the Discloser in Recipient’s possession. In addition, within 30 days after termination of this Agreement, Recipient shall (i) promptly return all tangible materials containing such Confidential Information to Discloser, (ii) remove all Confidential Information (and any copies thereof) from any computer systems of the Recipient and confirm in writing that all materials containing Confidential Information have been destroyed or returned to Discloser, as applicable, by Recipient.

14. Indemnification.

14.1 By Docker. Subject to the limitation on liability set forth in Section 15, Docker shall defend at its own expense any legal action brought against you to the extent that it is based on a claim or allegation that the Service (excluding any Open Source Software) infringes a U.S. patent or copyright of a third party, and Docker will pay any costs and damages awarded against you in any such action, or agreed to under a settlement signed by Docker, that are attributable to any such claim but shall not be responsible for any compromise made or expense incurred without Docker’s consent. Such defense and payments are subject to the conditions that you (a) give Docker prompt written notice of such claim, (b) tender to Docker sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim, and (c) reasonably cooperate with Docker when requested in connection with the defense and settlement of the claim. Docker will have no liability to so defend and pay for any infringement claim to the extent it (i) is based on modification of the Service other than by Docker, with or without authorization; (ii) results from your failure to use an updated version of the Service; or (iii) is based on the combination or use of the Service with any software (including, without limitation, Open Source Software), program or device not provided by Docker if such infringement would not have arisen but for such use or combination; or (iv) results from use of the Service by you after the license was terminated.

14.2 Limitation on Infringement Claims. Docker will have no liability to Customer Indemnitees or any obligations under this Section 14 to the extent a claim arise out of: (a) the modification of any portion of the Docker Platform by any party other than Docker or its authorized representatives; (b) the combination, operation, or use of any Docker Platform with other product(s), data, third party software, or services where the Docker Platform would not by itself be infringing; (c) the continued use of the allegedly infringing Docker Platform after being notified of the infringement claim or after being provided a modified version of the Docker Platform by Docker to address any alleged infringement; or (d) the failure to use the Docker Platform in accordance with the applicable Documentation or outside the scope of the rights granted under this Agreement. Should the Docker Platform, or the operation thereof, become or in Docker’s opinion be likely to become, the subject of such claim described in Section 14.1, Docker may, at its option and expense, (i) procure the right for Customer to continue using the Docker Platform, or (ii) replace or modify the Docker Platform so that it becomes non-infringing. If neither (i) or (ii) are reasonably practicable, Docker may terminate the applicable Order Form and refund to Customer any pre-paid, unused Fees paid by Customer corresponding to the unused period of the Subscription Term. THIS SECTION 14 STATES DOCKER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY, AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, WITH RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY KIND.

14.3 By Customer. Customer shall defend and hold Docker and its affiliates, officers, directors, agents, and employees (“Docker Indemnitees”) harmless against any third party claims and actions arising from (a) an allegation that Customer Data infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party, and (b) any use by Customer or its Users of the Docker Platform in violation of the license restrictions or violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations in connection with the Docker Platform, and shall indemnify the Docker Indemnitees against any damages, judgments, litigation costs including any reasonable attorneys’ fees. 

14.4 Procedure. The party seeking indemnification will notify the indemnifying party promptly of any claim or action covered by this Section 14. The parties agree to reasonably cooperate during such proceedings. The indemnifying party will have the right to defend any such claim and will have control over the litigation, negotiation, and settlement of any such claim, provided it will not make any settlement of a claim that results in any liability or imposes any obligation on the indemnified party without the prior written consent of such party, which will not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnified party may, at its sole expense, participate in the defense of any claim.

15. Limitation of Liability.

15.1 Exclusion of Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,  CUSTOMER EXPRESSLY UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT DOCKER, ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES, AND ITS LICENSORS SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, LOSS OF USE, LOST DATA, FAILURE OF SECURITY MECHANISMS, OR INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS) ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER UNDER THEORY OF CONTRACT, TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF CUSTOMER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE.

15.2 Liability Cap. THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF DOCKER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE RELEVANT SERVICE UNDER THE APPLICABLE ORDER FORM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY.

16. Export Restrictions.

Section headings are for convenience only and shall not affect interpretation of the relevant section. No provision of any purchase order or other form employed or provided by Customer will supersede the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any such document relating to this Agreement shall be for administrative purposes only and shall have no legal effect.
