Licensee will not disclose (or allow access to) the Technology (or any information derived from them) to any third party and will limit access to the Technology (and any derived information) to individuals who are bound by this agreement (“Authorised Users”). In support of this obligation, Licensee will apply at least the same security that Licensee uses to protect Licensee’s own most confidential information.

6. Improvements. Licensee may from time to time provide suggestions, comments or other feedback to CORTEXR with respect to the Services (“Feedback”). Feedback, even if designated as confidential by Licensee, shall not create any confidentiality obligation for CORTEXR notwithstanding anything else. Licensee shall, and hereby does, grant to CORTEXR a nonexclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, fully paid up license to use and exploit the Feedback for any purpose.
7. Confidentiality; Data Collection.

a. Use and Non-Disclosure. The Receiving Party agrees: (i) not to divulge to any third person any such Proprietary Information, (i) to give access to such Proprietary information solely to those employees with a need to have access thereto for purposes of this Agreement, and (iii) to take the same security precautions to protect against disclosure or unauthorised use of such Proprietary Information that the party takes with its own proprietary information, but in no event will a party apply less than reasonable precautions to protect such Proprietary Information. The Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing will not apply with respect to any information that the Receiving Party can document (a) is or becomes generally available to the public without any action by, or involvement of, the Receiving Party, or (b) was in its possession or known by it prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party, or (c) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party, or (d) was independently developed without use of any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing the Proprietary Information pursuant to any judicial or governmental order, provided that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice of such disclosure to contest such order.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF LICENSEE HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
11. Term; Termination. This Agreement is effective as of the date Licensee begins using the Services and is effective until terminated in accordance with this Section 11. Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time by removing or ceasing all use of the Services. We may terminate this Agreement and Licensee’s access to the Services at any time and for any reason. All licenses granted to Licensee hereunder terminate upon termination or expiration of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, CORTEXR may suspend or limit Licensee’s access to or use of the Services if (i) Licensee account is more than three (3) days past due, or (ii) Licensee’s use of the Service results in (or is reasonably likely to result in) damage to or material degradation of the Service which interferes with CORTEXR’s ability to provide access to the Service to other customers; provided that in the case of subsection (ii): (a) CORTEXR will use reasonable good faith efforts to work with Licensee to resolve or mitigate the damage or degradation in order to resolve the issue without resorting to suspension or limitation; (b) prior to any such suspension or limitation, CORTEXR will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to Licensee describing the nature of the damage or degradation; and (c) CORTEXR will reinstate Licensee’s use of or access to the Services, as applicable, if Licensee remediates the issue within three (3) days of receipt of such notice. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, accrued payment obligations (if applicable), ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.
12. Choice of Law; Arbitration. This Agreement is governed by and will be construed under the laws of England and Wales, United Kingdom, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement will be finally settled in England and Wales, United Kingdom, in English. For all purposes of this Agreement, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in England and Wales, United Kingdom. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis: class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. LICENSEE UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, LICENSEE AND CORTEXR ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
13. Changes to the Agreement, Platform, or Service. CORTEXR may modify the Agreement at any time, in CORTEXR’s sole discretion. If CORTEXR does so, CORTEXR will let Licensee know either by posting the modified Agreement on the Platform or CORTEXR’s website or through other communications. It is important that Licensee reviews the Agreement whenever CORTEXR modifies it because if Licensee continues to use the Platform or Services after CORTEXR has notified Licensee of the modification and the modified Agreement has been posted on the Platform or CORTEXR’s website, Licensee is indicating to CORTEXR that Licensee agrees to be bound by the modified Agreement. If Licensee does not agree to be bound by the modified Agreement, then Licensee may not continue to use the Platform or Services. Because the Platform and Services are evolving over time, CORTEXR may change or discontinue all or any part of the Platform or Services at any time and without notice, at CORTEXR’s sole discretion.
14. Miscellaneous. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S., U.K. or E.U. government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S., U.K. or E.U. governments as a “terrorist supporting” country and that you are not listed on any U.S., U.K. or E.U. government list of prohibited or restricted parties. This Agreement represents the complete agreement concerning the subject matter hereof between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and representations between them. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing executed by both parties or as otherwise provided in Section 13. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. Any notices or other communications provided by CORTEXR under this Agreement, including those regarding modifications to this Agreement, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Platform. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is given. For notices made by posting to the Platform, the date of such posting will be deemed the date that notice is given. The failure of CORTEXR to act with respect to a breach of this Agreement by Licensee or others does not constitute a waiver and will not limit CORTEXR’s rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches. This Agreement is personal to Licensee and may not be assigned or transferred for any reason whatsoever without CORTEXR’s consent and any action or conduct in violation of the foregoing will be void and without effect. CORTEXR expressly reserves the right to assign this Agreement and to delegate any of its obligations hereunder.
