2.1
2.1.1 Orders. In order to purchase license(s) to the Drifty Software and/or procure the provision by Drifty of the Support Services, Client shall place orders with Drifty (each an “Order”). The Order shall be deemed to include attachments and amendments to such documents, that are executed or accepted by Client from time to time. The terms of this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated by reference into each Order. No Order will be binding unless accepted in writing or by e-mail by Drifty, and duly signed and executed by Drifty and Client.
2.1.1(a) Order Mechanism. Each Package (as defined in Section 2.1.2 below) will be obtained solely by execution or acceptance of an Order. Pursuant to execution of an Order and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Client’s payment of all applicable Fees (as defined in Section 5.1 below), Drifty will provide the Package to Client specified in the Order during the Subscription Term (as defined in Section 2.1.2 below). Client may order multiple Package(s) by executing additional Orders. Each Order is deemed to be a discrete contract, separate from each other Order, unless expressly stated otherwise in the applicable Order. In the event of a direct conflict between any Order and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Order will prevail only with respect to that Order and only if the Order is agreed to by each party. Orders may be entered under this Agreement by and between (a) Drifty or an Affiliate of Drifty; and (b) Client or an Affiliate of Client. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Client accepts an Order by submitting a purchase order, then regardless of whether Drifty acknowledges, accepts or performs under such purchase order, Drifty expressly rejects any terms on such purchase order that are additional to, or inconsistent, with the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Order.

2.1.2(a) Subscription Term. The subscription ordered by Client shall commence on the start date specified in the applicable Order and shall, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 6.3, continue in effect until the end date specified in the applicable Order (the “Initial Subscription Term”). For Initial Subscription Terms which are committed for multiple years, each individual committed year may be listed as a separate line item in the applicable Order for administrative convenience only. Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Order, the Subscription Term shall automatically renew for additional periods equal to the initial Subscription Term (each, a “Renewal Subscription Term”) at the renewal Fees set forth in the applicable Order, or if no renewal Fees have been agreed in the applicable Order, those set forth in the renewal notice sent to Client at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Term, unless either Party gives the other Party notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the then-current Subscription Term.

In addition to the rights granted in Section 2.1.2 above, on the Order Effective Date, Drifty shall be deemed to have granted to Client the right to use, and make a reasonable number of copies of, the Documentation solely in connection with Client's use of the Drifty Software. Any such copy of the Documentation: (x) remains Drifty's exclusive property; (y) is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (z) must include all copyright or other proprietary rights notices contained in the original version of the Documentation licensed hereunder.

The license may also be exercised on behalf of Drifty by third parties acting on Drifty’s behalf (e.g., technology partners, service providers and independent contractors).

If Client fails to pay all undisputed (in good faith) Fees by such time period as is provided in the applicable Order, Drifty may, in addition to its other rights and remedies (including pursuant to Section 6.2 below), impose a late fee equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or the amount permitted under applicable law, and suspend access to the Drifty Software, to any or all Support Services and Updates as per Section 6.2.

5.3 License Verification and Required Records. Client agrees to maintain complete and accurate records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles during the Subscription Term of the applicable Order with respect to matters necessary for accurately determining amounts due hereunder.

6.4 Effect of Termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement, all rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will be extinguished, except that (a) the rights and obligations under Sections 1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11, will survive the termination of the Agreement, and (b) Client shall pay all unpaid and outstanding fees through the effective date of termination of the Agreement.

9. Confidential and Personal Information.
9.1 Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it (and its subcontractor(s), if any), in performing its obligations under this Agreement, shall have access to or be directly or indirectly exposed to each other’s Confidential Information. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of three years following its termination, each Party shall hold confidential all Confidential Information and shall not disclose such Confidential Information to third parties nor use the other Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than as necessary to perform under this Agreement. Each Party shall use reasonable measures and reasonable efforts to provide protection for each other’s Confidential Information, including measures at least as strict as those each Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information. Such measures shall include, without limitation, requiring employees and independent contractors to sign a non-disclosure agreement before obtaining access to the other Party’s Confidential Information and such other measures as the Party takes to protect its Confidential Information or trade secrets in the course of its business. “Confidential Information” means information in the possession, or under the control of, a Party relating to the technical, marketing, product and/or business affairs or proprietary and trade secret information of that Party in oral, graphic, written, electronic or machine readable form, source code and information pertaining to usage and design of the Drifty Software, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

9.3 In the event Drifty has access to Personal Data through the execution of this Agreement, it shall act as Client’s data processor for the processing thereof, and shall process any Personal Data at all times in full compliance with the applicable data protection laws.
9.4 Because of the unique nature of each Party’s proprietary materials, each Party understands and agrees that the other Party will suffer irreparable injury in the event that a Party fails to comply with any of the terms of this Section 9, and that monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate for such breach. Accordingly, each Party agrees that the other Party will, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, be entitled to seek injunctive relief, without posting a bond, to enforce the terms of this Agreement against any actual or threatened breach of this Section 9.
