Licensee may not use the Software in connection with any of the foregoing.

Any such audit shall be at Gilbarco's expense; provided, however, if such audit reveals a material breach of this Agreement, then Licensee shall pay the costs of the audit.
- Confidentiality
- Confidential Information. Each party to the Agreement acknowledges that such party (as a receiving party) may obtain or otherwise learn the Confidential Information of the other party (as the disclosing party). "Confidential Information" means any information relating to a disclosing party, its business, technology, suppliers, licensors, resellers, distributors, licensees, and third parties to whom the disclosing party has an obligation of confidentiality, whether in tangible or intangible form, which is either marked or designated as "confidential" or "proprietary," or disclosed under circumstances indicating its confidential or proprietary nature, or otherwise would be known to be confidential or proprietary by a reasonable person. The Confidential Information of a disclosing party shall be owned exclusively by the disclosing party. Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) was or becomes publicly known through no fault or breach hereunder; (b) was known by the receiving party before receipt from the disclosing party or becomes known without restriction from a source that does not owe a duty of confidentiality to the disclosing party; or (c) is independently developed by the receiving party without access to the Confidential Information. The parties may disclose the general nature of their relationship, but a party may not disclose the terms of any agreements or pricing without the prior written consent of the other party.
- Obligations. The receiving party agrees: (a) to protect the Confidential Information of the disclosing party from unauthorized dissemination and use the same degree of care it uses to protect its own sensitive information; (b) to use the Confidential Information of the disclosing party solely for performing its obligations and exercising its rights hereunder; and (c) not to disclose any Confidential Information of the disclosing party, except to its employees and contractors who have agreed to comply with the confidentiality obligations imposed hereunder. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information if legally compelled to do so. If able, the receiving party shall notify the disclosing party of such compelled disclosure and cooperate with disclosing party to obtain a protective order. Because disclosure of the Confidential Information will cause irreparable harm and injury, the party harmed may seek an immediate injunction and other equitable relief, without the necessity of posting any bond or other security.

- Any rights granted by Gilbarco to Licensee shall terminate;
- Licensee shall immediately cease use of, deinstall and destroy or return all copies of the Software; and
- If destroyed, Licensee shall certify the destruction of the Software and all copies to Gilbarco.

- Limitation of Liability
GILBARCO AND ITS LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOST DATA OR THE LIKE) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY. GILBARCO AND ITS LICENSOR’S LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT DAMAGES AND SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (US$100). THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN GILBARCO AND LICENSEE, AND GILBARCO WOULD NOT BE WILLING TO PROVIDE THE SOFTWARE OR SOFTWARE WITHOUT SUCH LIMITATIONS.
- General
- Relationship of Parties. Both parties are, and shall remain at all times, independent contractors, and nothing herein or under the Agreement will be construed to create an agency, employment, fiduciary, representative or any other relationship between the parties.
- Assignment. Neither party shall assign, sell, transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise, any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may assign the Agreement without prior written consent solely in connection with a merger, consolidation, corporate reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, sale of stock, or like event, provided that: (a) the assigning party provides reasonable notice to the other party (and in the case of Licensee, notice prior to the assignment); (b) the other party shall have the right to terminate the Agreement by written notice if the assignee is a competitor of the other party. Any transfer of license rights shall be subject to a separate agreement.
- Compliance with Law. Each party will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Licensee agrees to comply with the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and the export laws of any country to which either party is subject. Licensee will not export or transfer its Charger, the Software, Documentation, or other items provided by Gilbarco to any destination, person or entity restricted or prohibited by relevant export laws.
- Government Use. The Software, Documentation and any other software provided are "commercial items" as that term is defined in FAR 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation," respectively, as such terms are used in FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202. If the Charger is being acquired by or on behalf of the U.S. Government, then, as provided in FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, as applicable, the U.S. Government's rights in the foregoing will be only those specified in this Agreement.
- Third Party Beneficiaries. The licensor(s) of the Software are the express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
- Notices. Any notices shall be in writing and delivered personally, by email, or by courier with confirmation of delivery. Notices shall be deemed effective upon receipt.
- Other
Each party hereby represents and warrants that: (a) it has the full right, power and authority to enter into the Agreement; and (b) the performance of its obligations hereunder, do not and will not violate any agreement or obligation of such party. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. Any dispute regarding the Agreement shall be subject to state and federal courts with jurisdiction in the State of North Carolina. The parties disclaim the application of the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods or the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act. Any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right or remedy shall not operate as a waiver of any right or remedy hereunder. If any provision invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect. If this document is translated into a language other than English, the parties agree that the English version shall control in the event of a conflict or ambiguity.
