8.1 Acknowledgement. Licensee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Software and Documentation constitute and contain valuable proprietary products and trade secrets of University and/or its suppliers, embodying substantial creative efforts and confidential information, ideas, and expressions. Accordingly, Licensee agrees to treat (and take precautions to ensure that its employees treat) the Software and Documentation as confidential in accordance with the confidentiality requirements and conditions set forth below.
8.2 Maintenance of Confidential Information. Each party agrees to keep confidential all confidential information disclosed to it by the other party in accordance herewith, and to protect the confidentiality thereof in the same manner it protects the confidentiality of similar information and data of its own (at all times exercising at least a reasonable degree of care in the protection of confidential information); provided, however, that neither party shall have any such obligation with respect to use of disclosure to others not parties to this Agreement of such confidential information as can be established to: (a) have been known publicly; (b) have been known generally in the industry before communication by the disclosing party to the recipient; (c) have become know publicly, without fault on the part of the recipient, subsequent to disclosure by the disclosing party; (d) have been known otherwise by the recipient before communication by the disclosing party; or (e) have been received by the recipient without any obligation of confidentiality from a source (other than the disclosing party) lawfully having possession of such information.

If Licensee breaches any of its obligations with respect to the use or confidentiality of the Software or Documentation, University shall be entitled to equitable relief to protect its interests therein, including, but not limited to, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief.
8.4 Survival. Licensee's obligations under this Article 8 will survive the termination of this Agreement or of any license granted under this Agreement for whatever reason.
9. WARRANTIES; SUPERIOR RIGHTS.
9.1 Ownership. Except for the rights, if any of the Government of the United States, as set forth hereinbelow, University represents its belief that it is the owner of the entire right, title, and interest in and to Software, and that it has the sole right to grant licenses thereunder, and that it has not knowingly granted licenses thereunder to any other entity that would restrict rights granted hereunder except as stated herein.
9.2 Government Rights. Licensee understands that the Software may have been developed under a funding agreement with the Government of the United States of America and, if so, that the Government may have certain rights relative thereto. This Agreement is explicitly made subject to the Government's rights under any such agreement and any applicable law or regulation, if any. To the extent that there is a conflict between any such agreement, applicable law or regulation and this Agreement, the terms of such Government agreement, applicable law or regulation shall prevail. Distribution of the Software to any government agency by Licensee shall not be subject to the payments set forth above.
9.3 Limited Warranty. University represents and warrants to Licensee that the Software, when properly installed by Licensee and used with the Designated Equipment, will perform substantially as described in University's then current Documentation for such Software for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of shipment.
9.4 Limitations. Notwithstanding the warranty provisions set forth in Section 9.3 above, all of University's obligations with respect to such warranties shall be contingent on Licensee's use of the Software in accordance with this Agreement and in accordance with University's instructions as provided by University in the Documentation, as such instructions may be amended, supplemented, or modified by University from time to time. University shall have no warranty obligations with respect to any failures of the Software which are the result of accident, abuse, misapplication, extreme power surge or extreme electromagnetic field.
9.5 Licensee's Sole Remedy. University's entire liability and Licensee's exclusive remedy shall be, at University's option, either (a) return of the price paid or (b) repair or replacement of the Software upon its return to University; provided University receives written notice from Licensee during the warranty period of a breach of warranty. Any replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer.
9.6 Disclaimer of Warranties. UNIVERSITY DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT ALL ERRORS IN THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION WILL BE CORRECTED. THE WARRANTIES STATED IN SECTION 9.3 ABOVE ARE THE SOLE AND THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES OFFERED BY UNIVERSITY. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES RESPECTING THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION OR SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF DESIGN, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EVEN IF UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF SUCH PURPOSE. NO AGENT OF UNIVERSITY IS AUTHORIZED TO ALTER OR EXCEED THE WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS OF UNIVERSITY AS SET FORTH HEREIN.
9.7 Limitation of Liability. LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE CONSIDERATION WHICH UNIVERSITY IS CHARGING HEREUNDER DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY CONSIDERATION FOR ASSUMPTION BY UNIVERSITY OF THE RISK OF LICENSEE'S CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY ARISE IN CONNECTION WITH LICENSEE'S USE OF THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION. ACCORDINGLY, LICENSEE AGREES THAT UNIVERSITY SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO LICENSEE FOR ANY LOSS-OF-PROFIT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE LICENSING OR USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR DOCUMENTATION. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of University to any person, firm or corporation whatsoever arising out of or in the connection with any license, use or other employment of any Software delivered to Licensee hereunder, whether such liability arises from any claim based on breach or repudiation of contract, warranty, tort or otherwise, shall in no case exceed the actual price paid to University by Licensee for the Software whose license, use, or other employment gives rise to the liability. The essential purpose of this provision is to limit the potential liability of University arising out of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the limitations set forth in this Article 9 are integral to the amount of consideration levied in connection with the license of the Software and Documentation and any services rendered hereunder and that, were University to assume any further liability other than as set forth herein, such consideration would of necessity be set substantially higher.
10. INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 University shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Licensee against any action brought against Licensee to the extent that such action is based on a claim that the unmodified Software, when used in accordance with this Agreement, infringes a United States copyright and University shall pay all costs, settlements and damages finally awarded; provided, that Licensee promptly notifies Institution in writing of any claim, gives University sole control of the defense and settlement thereof and provides all reasonable assistance in connection therewith. If any Software is finally adjudged to so infringe, or in University's opinion is likely to become the subject of such a claim, University shall, at its option, either: (i) procure for Licensee the right to continue using the Software (ii) modify or replace the Software to make it noninfringing, or (iii) refund the fee paid, less reasonable depreciation, upon return of the Software. University shall have no liability regarding any claim arising out of: (w) use of other than a current, unaltered release of the Software unless the infringing portion is also in the then current, unaltered release, (x) use of the Software in combination with non-University software, data or equipment if the infringement was caused by such use or combination, (y) any modification or derivation of the Software not specifically authorized in writing by University or (z) use of third party software. THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF UNIVERSITY AND THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR LICENSEE RELATING TO INFRINGEMENT OR CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT OF ANY COPYRIGHT OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHT BY THE SOFTWARE.
10.2 Except for the foregoing infringement claims, Licensee shall indemnify and hold harmless System, University, their Regents, officers, agents and employees from and against any claims, demands, or causes of action whatsoever, including without limitation those arising on account of Licensee's modification or enhancement of the Software or otherwise caused by, or arising out of, or resulting from, the exercise or practice of the license granted hereunder by Licensee, its sublicensees, if any, its subsidiaries or their officers, employees, agents or representatives.
11. INSURANCE.
[NOTE: This section must be included if the Software has medical applications.]

11.2 University, as a component of System, is an agency of the World Wide Web and is self-insured pursuant to The Intellectual Property Agreement, under the authority of Section 59.01, United Nations Code.
