Customer agrees to indemnify Syncfusion for any damages, in any form, resulting from the transmission of any personal identifiable information.

23. Export

    Customer acknowledges that the Services may be subject to export controls. Customer agrees that any Services licensed hereunder will not be accessed or exported (or re-exported from the country where they were first installed), directly or indirectly, separately or as part of a system, without Customer, at its own cost, first obtaining all necessary licenses from the United States Department of Commerce and any other appropriate agency of the United States Government as may be required by law.

By agreeing to these Terms of Use, You agree to the foregoing and represent and warrant that You are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such country or on any such list.

24. Government Contracting

    If the Services are used in connection with providing goods and/or services to the United States government or other government contracting or subcontracting services, Customer shall ensure that no government agency or entity shall acquire any rights of any nature in the Services and that Customer has obtained all necessary rights and permissions as granted under the law. This includes the right to use such data. Any such service is a “commercial item”, “commercial computer software”, and “commercial computer software documentation”. In accordance with such provisions, any use of such software by the government shall be governed solely by the terms of these Terms as allowable by law.

25. Taxes

    Customer may not assign any of its obligations, rights, or remedies hereunder, and any such attempted assignment shall be null and void.

28. Waiver

    The waiver or failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further right hereunder. This Agreement constitutes the complete understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein and supersedes all proposals and all previous negotiations and agreements, written or oral, express or implied, between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein. This Agreement may not be waived, altered, amended, or modified except in writing, directly referencing the Agreement, and signed by authorized representatives of both parties.

29. Relationships Between the Parties

    It is expressly agreed that the parties are acting hereunder as independent contractors. Under no circumstances shall any of the employees of one party be deemed the employees of the other for any purpose.

30. General 

    If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other part or provision of this Agreement.

Customer may opt out of marketing emails by contacting sales@boldbi.com.

32. Logos

    Syncfusion shall have the right, but no obligation, to use Customer’s name and Customer’s commonly-known logo in a list of some or all of Syncfusion’s other licensees.

Syncfusion will remove Customer’s name and/or logo from any such list upon sixty (60) days’ written notice from Customer.

33. Equitable Remedies

    The obligations of Customer under Sections 10, 14, 19, 20, and 22 hereof are of a special and unique character which gives them a particular value to Syncfusion and its third-party vendors for which neither Syncfusion nor its third-party vendors can be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in the event Customer breaches such obligations. Therefore, Syncfusion and its third-party vendors shall, in addition to other remedies which may be available, each be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief in the event of the breach or threatened breach of such obligations.

The foregoing sentence shall not apply in the event that Syncfusion gives notice of termination for cause resulting from Customer’s breach of this Agreement and subsequent failure to cure. In the event either party breaches any term hereof and the breaching party fails to cure such breach within a period of ten (10) days after the date of such notice of breach, this Agreement may be terminated by the non-breaching party.
   • 2.3 Within thirty (30) days after termination of this Agreement for any reason, Syncfusion shall submit to Customer an itemized invoice for any fees or expenses accrued under this Agreement.

Customer is solely responsible for obtaining data rights. Additionally, Customer must continue to possess a Bold BI subscription to continue to access the dashboards. Customer acknowledges and agrees no intellectual property rights are transferred to the Customer. Data will be deleted if Customer is inactive for more than sixty (60) days.
   • 5.2 Syncfusion’s Property. As between Customer and Syncfusion, all rights, title, and interests in and to all Syncfusion products, including software, systems, data, or materials, including without limitation object code, source code, screen designs, screen captures, wireframes, renderings, flowcharts, databases, trade secrets, photos, and other graphic content, and any methods or procedures performed by or with such software, are and shall remain at all times in Syncfusion.

   • 7.3 If, during the warranty period, any Service or Deliverable does not conform to its warranty and Customer provides Syncfusion with notice of such nonconformance, setting forth in detail the nature of the non-conformity, Syncfusion will repair, replace, or otherwise correct the non-conformity. If, for any reason, Syncfusion does not conform a Service or Deliverable to its warranty within a reasonable time after notice, then Customer may, at its option, either accept the Service or Deliverable “as is” without further recourse or receive a refund of the amount paid to Syncfusion for such nonconforming Deliverable or Service. THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 7.3 ARE THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMER HEREUNDER.
   • 7.4 Exclusions. In respect of Deliverables provided by Syncfusion hereunder, Syncfusion’s warranties are limited and do not apply if, and to the extent, any problems are caused by (i) the use or maintenance of the Deliverable other than as specified in the applicable SOW, (ii) modifications or revisions thereto made by any party not authorized by Syncfusion, (iii) combinations of the Deliverable with software components not authorized by Syncfusion, or (iv) force majeure or an act of God. Furthermore, Syncfusion does not warrant that (i) the functions performed by the Deliverable provided by Syncfusion hereunder, even if in conformance with the specifications therefore contained in the applicable SOW, will meet Customer’s business requirements, or (ii) the operation of any Deliverable will be error-free in all circumstances, or that all defects or nonconformities therein that are not related to material functions as defined in the applicable SOW will be corrected. EXCEPT AS STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, OR IN THE APPLICABLE SOW, THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

8. Indemnification For Consulting Services
   • 8.1 Intellectual Property Infringement Indemnity. Syncfusion does not provide any indemnification in any form for the Services or for anything related to any consulting services.
   • 8.2 Customer Indemnity. Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Syncfusion and the officers, employees, agents, shareholders, affiliates, successors, and assigns of Syncfusion from any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses arising out of (1) the death or bodily injury of any persons or the damage, loss, or destruction of property that results from or is caused by any negligent or willful act or omission of Customer or (2) the violation of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement or (3) anything resulting from this agreement.
   • 8.3 Conduct of Litigation. In the event a claim or judicial action is brought or threatened against an indemnified party (the indemnified party together with its officers, employees, agents, shareholders, affiliates, successors, and assigns is hereinafter referred to as “Indemnitee”) with the indemnifying party and with respect to matters covered by Sections 8.1 or 8.2, the indemnifying party (hereinafter referred to as “Indemnitor”) shall have the sole right to defend such claim or action at its expense and to control the defense and settlement thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the claim or judicial action brought or threatened against Indemnitee is asserted or brought solely or principally against Indemnitee (as opposed to a claim brought against multiple defendants of which Indemnitee is one), Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in such defense and negotiations using counsel at its own expense. In all cases, Indemnitor shall obtain Indemnitee’s consent prior to entering into a settlement or compromise or consenting to any injunctive relief with respect to any claim or action if any such settlement or compromise or injunctive relief would impose any pecuniary or other liability upon Indemnitee. The obligations of the Indemnitor hereunder are subject to its receiving prompt notice of any claims for indemnification, and Indemnitee reasonably cooperating in the defense thereof.
   • 8.4 Liability Limitations and Exclusions. The liability of Syncfusion for any claim relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract or tort, including claims of negligence or claims of intellectual property infringement against Syncfusion, shall be limited to $1.00 USD. No action, regardless of form, relating to the transactions under this Agreement may be brought by Customer more than one (1) year after the event giving rise to the cause of action has occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, Syncfusion assumes no liability whatsoever under any circumstances that may arise from a claim of patent infringement against Customer or a licensee of a Customer Product. EACH PARTY’S LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT DAMAGES. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER OR THE OTHER’S EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, OWNERS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, OR PRIVIES FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR STATUTORY DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, OPPORTUNITY, OR DATA, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, TORT, PRODUCT LIABILITY, STATUTE, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE CUMULATIVELY LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR AN AMOUNT GREATER THAN THE FEES AND CHARGES PAYABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE AGGREGATE.
