5. Confidentiality
Unless replaced by a separate NDA between the Parties applying on subject matter of these Terms and which NDA explicitly states that it replaces the confidentiality provisions of the Terms, the following provisions of Section 5 apply:
5.1 “Confidential Information” means any nonpublic information directly or indirectly disclosed by either Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) or accessible to the Receiving Party pursuant to the PO and these Terms that is designated as confidential or that, given the nature of the information or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure, reasonably should be considered as confidential, including without limitation technical data, trade secrets, know-how, research, inventions, processes, designs, drawings, strategic roadmaps, product plans, product designs and architecture, security information, marketing plans, pricing and cost information, marketing and promotional activities, business plans, customer and supplier information, employee and User information, business and marketing plans, and business processes, and other technical, financial or business information, and any third party information that the Disclosing Party is required to maintain as confidential. Confidential Information will not, however, include any information which: (a) was publicly known or made generally available to the public prior to the time of disclosure; (b) becomes publicly known or made generally available after disclosure through no fault of the Receiving Party; or (c) is in the possession of the Receiving Party, without restriction as to use or disclosure, at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party. Except for rights expressly granted in these Terms, each Party reserves all rights in and to its Confidential Information. The Parties agree that the Licensed Materials are Confidential Information of LayerX.
5.2 The Parties will maintain as confidential and will avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of Confidential Information of the other Party using reasonable precautions. Each Party will protect such Confidential Information with the same degree of care that a prudent person would exercise to protect its own confidential information of a like nature, and to prevent the unauthorized, negligent, or inadvertent use, disclosure, or publication thereof or access thereto. Each Party will restrict Confidential Information to individuals who need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound to confidentiality obligations at least as protective as the restrictions described in this Section 5. Except as necessary for the proper use of the Software, the exercise of a Party’s rights under these Terms, performance of a Party’s obligations under these Terms or as otherwise explicitly permitted under these Terms, neither Party will use Confidential Information of the other Party for any other purpose. Each Party will promptly notify the other Party if it becomes aware of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information, and reasonably cooperate with the other Party in attempts to limit disclosure.
5.3 If and to the extent required by law, including regulatory requirements, discovery request, subpoena, court order or governmental action, the Receiving Party may disclose or produce Confidential Information but will give reasonable prior notice (and where prior notice is not permitted by applicable law, notice will be given as soon as the Receiving Party is legally permitted) to the Disclosing Party to permit the Disclosing Party to intervene and to request protective orders or confidential treatment therefor or other appropriate remedy regarding such disclosure. Disclosure of any Confidential Information pursuant to any legal requirement will not be deemed to render it non-confidential, and the Receiving Party’s obligations with respect to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party will not be changed or lessened by virtue of any such disclosure.
6. Account Information
6.1 User should maintain in strict confidentiality of its respective login information (including usernames and passwords).
6.2 User should not share user/enterprise account or login information, nor let anyone else access it or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of User’s account.

7. Data Protection and Privacy
7.1 User acknowledges that in the course of the provision of the Software, LayerX may be granted access to data that may identify a natural person or may make a natural person identifiable (“Personal Data”). User warrants that it has all the necessary rights to enable access or provide the Personal Data to LayerX for the processing to be performed in relation to the Software, and to the extent required by the applicable data protection and privacy laws, that one or more lawful bases support the lawfulness of the processing and all necessary privacy notices are provided to individuals.
7.2 LayerX hereby declares and undertakes that it shall not use the Personal Data provided to it and/or to anyone on its behalf, other than for the provision of the Software. LayerX further undertakes that its employees shall have authorization to access the Personal Data solely for the purpose of the provision of the Software, pursuant to their defined roles, and on a “need to know basis”, and that all of LayerX’s employees have signed confidentiality agreements whereby ensuring the confidentiality of the Personal Data they may be exposed to.
7.3 LayerX shall assure that in case it will be required to use service providers whose services will require access to User Personal Data, such will be subject to the same obligations as set forth in this Section and any breach of the provisions of this Section shall be considered a breach by LayerX, with all that is entailed.
7.4 Taken into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of individuals, LayerX shall implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security of the processing of Personal Data appropriate to the risk. Such measures may be updated by LayerX from time to time, provided that such updates shall not materially decrease the protection of Personal Data for individuals.
7.5 LayerX shall report to User, without undue delay from the moment of discovering an incident raising a concern for the impairment of the integrity, or an unauthorized use, or a deviation from a provided authorization with respect to User’s Personal Data (“Data Security Event”). The report shall include and detail information regarding the time of the report, the circumstances of the occurrence of the Data Security Event and the actions which have been taken by LayerX for the purpose of handling the Data Security Event. LayerX shall reasonably assist User in investigating the Data Security Event in case such relate to LayerX’s processing of Personal Data on behalf of User.
7.6 To the extent relevant to LayerX’s processing of Personal Data on behalf of User, LayerX shall cooperate with User when User is required to comply with individuals’ requests to exercise their rights under the applicable data protection and privacy laws, and shall not reply to such request unless relevant to LayerX and User specifically authorizes layerX to do so.
8. Payments
8.1 User’s access and use of the Software is subject to the timely payment of all fees as set forth in the PO (the “Payment-Terms”).

8.4 Payment is safely processed through a third-party payment processor (a “Payment Processor“) and then paid to LayerX. In the event of credit card fraud or unauthorized use of User’s account(s) by third parties, most banks and credit card companies bear the risk and cover all the charges resulting from such fraud or misuse, which may sometimes be subject to a deductible, but we cannot assure that. In addition, User agrees: (i) that the Software of Payment Processors may be used to process transactions; (ii) to review and be bound by the Payment Processor’s terms of use and privacy policy; (iii) to only provide valid and current information for User; and (iv) that all payments made are final and non-refundable. User acknowledges that it may need to hold, or register, an active account with the Payment Processor. LayerX is not responsible or liable for any activities or conduct of a Payment Processor, and User agrees that it shall have no claim, suit or demand of any kind, and by agreeing to these Terms, hereby irrevocably and completely waives any such claim, suit or demand of any kind, to the extent such may exist or hereafter arise, towards LayerX and any of its managers, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, affiliates, employees, consultants, service providers and/or any other person or entity acting on LayerX’s behalf, in connection with or related to the conduct or any act or omission of a Payment Processor.
9. Taxes
Each Party will be responsible, as required under applicable law (including without limitation and rule or regulation), for identifying and paying all taxes and other governmental fees and charges (and any penalties, interest and other additions thereto) that are imposed on that Party upon or with respect to the transactions and payments under this Agreement. Applicable taxes and duties may be due in addition to the fees or rates payable by User under the PO. Layer’x may charge and User will pay, where applicable, national, state or local sales or use taxes, or value added or goods and services tax, or withholding or other taxes (“Taxes”). Upon request, User will provide such information to Layer’x as reasonably required to determine whether Layer’x is obligated to collect Taxes from User. Layer’x will not collect (or will refund to User), and User will not be obligated to pay (or will be entitled to a refund from Layer’x), any such Tax or duty for which User furnishes Layer’x a properly completed exemption certificate or a direct payment permit certificate or for which Layer’x claims an available exemption from Tax.
