This Section 10.2 will not apply to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from: (i) Your or Your User’s violation of this Agreement; (ii) revisions to the Software made by a party other than Morpheus or Morpheus’ designee, or without Morpheus’ written consent; (iii) Your failure to incorporate Updates, Upgrades or modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement; or (iv) use of the Software in combination with hardware, software, or technology not provided or authorized in writing by Morpheus: (A) that is specifically forbidden by the Documentation; or (B) that is not designated in the Documentation as available for interface with the Software, unless such hardware or software is a host computer, operating system, or other type of hardware or software necessary for the Software to perform a function listed in the Documentation.

If Morpheus determines that neither alternative is reasonably available, Morpheus may terminate this Agreement, in its entirety or with respect to the affected component or part, effective immediately on written notice to You.

The Receiving Party shall not disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the Receiving Party’s employees, contractors, directors, or other representatives, who have a need to know the Confidential Information for the Receiving Party to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder (collectively, “Representatives”).

11.2. Protection of Confidential Information. Except as otherwise permitted in writing by the Disclosing Party, (i) the Receiving Party shall use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care) not to disclose or use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and (ii) the Receiving Party shall limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to its Representatives, who have a need to know such Confidential Information.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Morpheus may modify or amend this Agreement at any time and will post access to details of any modifications or amendments to this Agreement on https://morpheusdata.com/terms-and-conditions/. Changes will not apply retroactively and generally will become effective fourteen (14) days after they are posted. However, changes addressing new functions for the Software or made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If You don’t agree to any modified or amended terms in the Agreement, You must stop using the Software and, if applicable, the Support and Maintenance. Your continued use of the Software after the effective date of any changes constitutes Your agreement to follow and be bound by such changes.
12.5. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
12.6. Morpheus shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations due to circumstances beyond Morpheus’ control, such circumstances to include without limitation natural disasters, terrorism, labor disputes, war, declaration of governments, transportation delays, computer and/or network failures, acts of civil or military authorities, interruptions in third-party telecommunications or internet equipment or service, or misuse of the Software by You.
12.7. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, shall not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof. The failure or delay of Morpheus to exercise any of its rights under this Agreement or upon any breach of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of those rights or of the breach.
12.8. You acknowledge and agree that a breach or threatened breach by You of any of Your obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.10, and 11 would cause Morpheus irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agree that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, Morpheus will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise.
12.9. You, at your sole cost and expense, shall purchase and carry appropriate levels of insurance coverage that are prudent and customary in the businesses in which You are engaged and maintain it in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement for the benefit of both You and Morpheus. Such policies may not be canceled without providing Morpheus with at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice of cancellation.
12.10. The language of all parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any party. No presumptions or rules of interpretation based upon the identity of the party preparing or drafting the Agreement, or any part thereof, shall be applicable or invoked.
