Taking into account the nature and types of Your Data, HeliosOne will employ reasonable administrative, physical and technical measures in accordance with applicable industry practice, including Soc II Type 2 certification, to protect the SaaS Software and prevent the accidental loss or unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure of Your Data under its control during the Term.
(iv) The SaaS Software retains Your Data for a period of one year (the “Retention Period”) on a daily rolling basis (i.e., Your Data will be erased at the end of the Storage Period, and new data will be stored in its place), so that at any time during the SaaS License term, Your Data derived by the SaaS Service for the most recent Retention Period may be searchable by You; please see the applicable provisions in the SaaS Software user guide for limitations.

For On-Prem Software: (a) You must install such Maintenance Revisions as soon as practicable after receipt and in accordance with HeliosOne’s instructions; (b) You acknowledge and agree that any failure to install Maintenance Revisions may limit HeliosOne’s ability to provide You with maintenance and support and may limit the functionality, performance and/or operation of the Software; and (c) all support and maintenance services will be provided only with respect to the two most recent versions of the Software.

You hereby grant HeliosOne a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive license under all rights necessary to incorporate and use such Feedback for any purpose.
- CONFIDENTIALITY.
(a) Each party acknowledges that the other party treats its products, development processes, business methods, business information, and prices as confidential and that they constitute the commercially valuable proprietary products and/or services and trade secrets of the respective party, regardless of whether they may be copyrighted, patented or trademarked.
(b) During the term of this Agreement, each party (the “Receiving Party”) will learn or receive information about the other (the “Disclosing Party”) which the Disclosing Party treats as confidential, including but not limited to all business, technical, marketing, financial and customer-related data (“Confidential Information”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Software and Documentation are the Confidential Information of HeliosOne. The Receiving Party agrees that Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party shall be treated as confidential and protected in the same manner as the Receiving Party treats its own confidential information (but in no event less than reasonable care). The Receiving Party agrees: (i) not to use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose other than exercising its rights and fulfilling its obligations hereunder; (ii) not to transfer, distribute or disclose to any third party any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except as expressly authorized in writing by the Dislosing Party; (iii) not to reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile or design around the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; (iv) to not remove or obscure any designations of confidentiality on any Confidential Information; and (v) to confine knowledge and use of the Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party to those of its employees and contractors who require such knowledge and use of the information in the ordinary course of and scope of their employment pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information which has entered the public domain by no action of the Receiving Party hereunder, was already rightfully in the possession of the Receiving Party when received from the Disclosing Party, is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party or was developed independently by the Receiving Party by individuals without access to the Disclosing Party’s information.
(c) The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information.
(d) The obligations of the parties, with regard to the Confidential Information of the other that constitutes trade secrets, shall remain in effect for as long as such Confidential Information shall remain a trade secret under applicable law. All other Confidential Information shall remain protected during the term of this Agreement and for three (3) years thereafter.
(e) Each of You and HeliosOne acknowledge that the damages for unauthorized and/or improper disclosure of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party may be irreparable; therefore, the parties may seek equitable relief, including injunction and preliminary injunction for such alleged breaches.
(f) Upon any termination of this Agreement or the parties’ working relationship, and all Confidential Information shall be returned to the Disclosing Party or, at the Disclosing Party’s option, destroyed. Upon request the Receiving Party shall confirm to the Disclosing Party in writing that all such Confidential Information has been fully returned or destroyed in compliance herewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party shall not be required to purge its back-up systems of Confidential Information and the Receiving Party may retain necessary Confidential Information for legal and evidentiary purposes, provided such Confidential Information remains subject to the confidentiality and is destroyed in the normal process of the Receiving Party reasonable record retention policies and procedures.
- TERM OF SAAS LICENSES. The initial term of this Agreement and Your license term for Subscription SaaS Software will continue until the end of the subscription period You have purchased, unless this Agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with its terms (the “Initial Term”).

Sections 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, and 16 through 26 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
- LIMITED WARRANTY. HeliosOne warrants, for a period of 90 days from the date You first downloaded the On-Prem Software or accessed the SaaS Software (the “Warranty Period”), that (i) the Software will operate substantially in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (ii) the media on which the On-Prem Software and Documentation is distributed, if any, will be free from material defects in materials and workmanship. The foregoing warranties shall apply only if (a) the Software has been properly installed (as applicable) and used at all times and in accordance with the applicable Documentation; and (b) no modification, alteration or addition has been made to the Software by persons other than HeliosOne or its authorized representative(s). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing warranties are not made with respect to an Evaluation Version of Software or any Software offered under an Evaluation License. In the event of a breach of the foregoing warranties, You may contact HeliosOne for repair or replacement of the Software, or a refund of the License Fees paid by You under this Agreement, at the sole discretion of HeliosOne. Any replacement Software provided by HeliosOne will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. If You have purchased a SaaS License, the limited warranty provisions of this Section 12 shall also apply to the Hardware, if any.

- INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION. HeliosOne will defend at its own expense any third party legal actions brought against You to the extent arising out of or resulting from claims that the Software infringes or violates any United States copyright of any third party during the term of this Agreement (“Claim”), on the condition that You promptly notify HeliosOne of the Claim and give HeliosOne sole and exclusive control of the defense and settlement of the Claim. You may not settle or compromise any Claim without HeliosOne’s prior written consent.
