c) Responsibilities. You: (i) must keep passwords secure and confidential; (ii) are solely responsible for Customer Data and all activity in your account in the Service; (iii) must use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to your account, and notify Qliktag promptly of any such unauthorized access; and (iv) may use the Service only in accordance with the Service’s user guide and applicable law.

CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS THAT THE SERVICE MAY NOT BE ERROR FREE, AND USE MAY BE INTERRUPTED.

4. MUTUAL CONFIDENTIALITY.

a) Definition of Confidential Information. Confidential Information means all non-public information disclosed by a party (Discloser) to the other party (Recipient), whether orally, visually, or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure (Confidential Information). Qliktag’s Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the Service, its user interface design and layout, and pricing information. Customer’s Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the Customer Data.

b) Protection of Confidential Information. The Recipient must use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information (but in no event less than reasonable care), and it may not disclose or use any Confidential Information of the Discloser for any purpose outside the scope of this agreement. The Recipient must make commercially reasonable efforts to limit access to Confidential Information of Discloser to those of its employees and contractors who need such access for purposes consistent with this agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with Recipient no less restrictive than the confidentiality terms of this agreement.

c) Exclusions. Confidential Information excludes information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to Discloser; (ii) was known to the Recipient prior to its disclosure by the Discloser without breach of any obligation owed to the Discloser; (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to Discloser; or (iv) was independently developed by the Recipient without use or access to the Confidential Information. The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law or court order, but will provide Discloser with advance notice to seek a protective order.

5. PROPERTY

a) Reservation of Rights. The Service and the Deliverables are the proprietary property of Qliktag and its licensors, and all right, title, and interest in and to such items, including all associated intellectual property rights, remain only with Qliktag. Customer may not remove or modify any proprietary marking or restrictive legends in the Service. Qliktag reserves all rights unless expressly granted in this agreement.

b) Restrictions. Customer may not: (i) except as explicitly allowed herein, sell, resell, rent, or lease the Service or use it in a service-provider capacity; (ii) use the Service to store or transmit infringing, unsolicited marketing emails, libelous, or otherwise objectionable, unlawful, or tortious material, or to store or transmit material in violation of third-party rights; (iii) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service; (iv) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its related systems or networks; (v) reverse engineer the Service; or (vi) access the Service to build a competitive service or product, or copy any feature, function, or graphic for competitive purposes.

c) Statistical Information. Qliktag may compile statistical information related to the performance of the Service, and may make such information publicly available, provided that such information does not identify Customer’s Confidential Information or any data, and there is no means to re-identify the information or data. Qliktag retains all intellectual property rights in such information.

d) API.  Qliktag shall provide to Customer subscribing to Commercial Version or above of Service, access to its application-programming interface (API) as part of the Service for no additional fee. Subject to the other terms of this agreement, Qliktag grants Customer a non-exclusive, nontransferable, terminable license to interact only with the Service as allowed by the API.

Customer may not use the API in a manner–as reasonably determined by Qliktag–that exceeds reasonable request volume, constitutes excessive or abusive usage, or fails to comply with any part of the API. If any of these occur, Qliktag can suspend or terminate Customer’s access to the API on a temporary or permanent basis.

Qliktag may change or remove existing endpoints or fields in API results upon at least 30-day notice to Customer, but Qliktag will use commercially reasonable efforts to support the previous version of the API for at least 6 months.
