  2. Confidentiality; Data Protection.
    1. Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means any business or technical information disclosed by either party to the other that is designated as confidential at the time of disclosure or that, under the circumstances, a person exercising reasonable business judgment would understand to be confidential or proprietary. Without limiting the foregoing, all non-public elements of the Databricks Services are considered to be Databricks’ Confidential Information, and the terms of the Agreement, any information that either party derives relating to the conduct or performance of the other party’s personnel, services or systems, and any information that either party conveys to the other party concerning data security measures, incidents, or findings constitute Confidential Information of both parties. Confidential Information will not include information that the receiving party can demonstrate (a) is or becomes publicly known through no fault of the receiving party; (b) is, when it is supplied, already known to whoever it is disclosed to in circumstances in which they are not prevented from disclosing it to others; (c) is independently obtained by whoever it is disclosed to in circumstances in which they are not prevented from disclosing it to others; or (d) was independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to the Confidential Information.
    2. Confidentiality. A receiving party will not use the disclosing party’s Confidential Information except as permitted under the Agreement or to enforce its rights under the Agreement and will not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party except to those of its employees and/or subcontractors who have a bona fide need to know such Confidential Information for the performance or enforcement of the Agreement; provided that each such employee and/or subcontractor is bound by a written agreement that contains use and disclosure restrictions consistent with the terms set forth in this Section 2.2. Each receiving party will protect the disclosing party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure using efforts equivalent to those that the receiving party ordinarily uses with respect to its own Confidential Information of similar nature and in no event using less than a reasonable standard of care; provided, however, that a party may disclose such Confidential Information as required by applicable laws, subject to the party required to make such disclosure giving reasonable notice to the other party to enable it to contest such order or requirement or limit the scope of such request. The provisions of this Section 2.2 will supersede any non-disclosure agreement by and between the parties and/or their Affiliates (whether entered into before, on or after the Effective Date) that would purport to address the confidentiality and security of Customer Content (as defined in the Platform Services Schedule) and such agreement will have no further force or effect with respect to Customer Content.
    3. Data Protection. Terms governing data protection are set forth in the applicable Schedule(s).
    4. Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other party may be irreparably harmed in the event that such party breaches Section 2.2 (Confidentiality), and that monetary damages alone cannot fully compensate the non-breaching party for such harm. Accordingly, each party hereto hereby agrees that the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief to prevent or stop such breach, and to obtain specific enforcement thereof. Any such equitable remedies obtained will be in addition to, and not foreclose, any other remedies that may be available.
  3. Intellectual Property.
    1. Ownership of the Databricks Services. Except for the limited licenses expressly set forth in an applicable Schedule, Databricks retains all Intellectual Property Rights and all other proprietary rights related to the Databricks Services. You will not delete or alter the copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices or markings appearing within the Databricks Services as delivered to you. You agree that the Databricks Services are provided on a non-exclusive basis and that no transfer of ownership of Intellectual Property Rights will occur. You further acknowledge and agree that portions of the Databricks Services, including but not limited to the source code and the specific design and structure of individual modules or programs, constitute or contain trade secrets and other Intellectual Property Rights of Databricks and its licensors.
    2. Feedback. You are under no duty to provide any suggestions, enhancement requests, or other feedback regarding the Databricks Services (“Feedback”). If you choose to offer Feedback to Databricks, you hereby grant Databricks a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, fully-paid, sub-licensable, assignable license to incorporate into the Databricks Services or otherwise use any Feedback Databricks receives from you. You also irrevocably waive in favor of Databricks any moral rights which you may have in such Feedback pursuant to applicable copyright law. Databricks acknowledges that any Feedback is provided on an “as-is” basis with no warranties of any kind.
  4. Warranties; Disclaimer.
    1. Warranties. Databricks warrants that during the term of the Agreement it will employ appropriate industry standards of practice designed to meet its confidentiality and other obligations under the MCSA.
    2. Disclaimer. THE WARRANTIES IN SECTION 4.1 (WARRANTIES) ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, REGARDING DATABRICKS AND DATABRICKS’ SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER. DATABRICKS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS AND OTHER TERMS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, DATABRICKS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE DATABRICKS SERVICES OR FOR CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM SUCH USE.
  5. Indemnification.
    1. Indemnification by Databricks. Subject to Section 5.5 (Conditions of Indemnification), Databricks will defend Customer against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against Customer by a third party (a “Claim Against Customer”) alleging that the Databricks Services as provided to Customer by Databricks or Customer’s use of the Databricks Services in accordance with the Documentation and the Agreement infringes or misappropriates such party’s Intellectual Property Rights (an “IP Claim”), and will indemnify Customer from and against any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Customer as a result of, or for amounts paid by Customer under a settlement approved by Databricks in writing of, a Claim Against Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Databricks will have no liability for any infringement or misappropriation claim of any kind if such claim arises from: (a) the public open source version of Apache Spark (located at github.com/apache/spark), if the claim of infringement or misappropriation does not allege with specificity that the infringement or misappropriation arises from the Platform Services (as opposed to Apache Spark itself); (b) the combination, operation or use of the Databricks Services with equipment, devices, software or data (including without limitation your Confidential Information) not supplied by Databricks, if a claim would not have occurred but for such combination, operation or use; or (c) your or an Authorized User’s use of the Databricks Services other than in accordance with the Documentation and the Agreement.
    2. Other Remedies. If Databricks receives information about an infringement or misappropriation claim related to a Databricks Service or otherwise becomes aware of a claim that the provision of any of the Databricks Services is unlawful in a particular territory, then Databricks may at its sole option and expense: (a) replace or modify the applicable Databricks Services to make them non-infringing and of substantially equivalent functionality; (b) procure for you the right to continue using the Databricks Services under the terms of the Agreement; or (c) if Databricks is unable to accomplish either (a) or (b) despite using its reasonable efforts, terminate your rights and Databricks’ obligations under the Agreement with respect to such Databricks Services and refund to you any Fees prepaid by you to Databricks for Databricks Services not yet provided.
    3. Indemnification by Customer. Subject to Section 5.5 (Conditions of Indemnification), Customer will defend Databricks and its Affiliates and its and each of their officers, employees, directors, and agents (each, a “Databricks Indemnitee”) against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against a Databricks Indemnitee by a third party (a “Claim Against Databricks”) (a) arising from or related to Customer’s use of the Databricks Services in violation of any applicable laws or the Agreement; or (b) arising from any matter specified to be the subject of an indemnity in an applicable Schedule, and will indemnify each Databricks Indemnitee from and against any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against a Databricks Indemnitee as a result of, or for amounts paid by a Databricks Indemnitee under a settlement approved by Customer in writing of, a Claim Against Databricks.
    4. Sole Remedy for Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights. SUBJECT TO SECTION 5.5 (CONDITIONS OF INDEMNIFICATION) BELOW, THE FOREGOING SECTIONS 5.1 (INDEMNIFICATION BY DATABRICKS) AND 5.2 (OTHER REMEDIES) STATE THE ENTIRE OBLIGATION OF DATABRICKS AND ITS LICENSORS WITH RESPECT TO ANY ALLEGED OR ACTUAL INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY THE DATABRICKS SERVICES.
    5. Conditions of Indemnification. As a condition to an indemnifying party’s (each, an “Indemnitor”) obligations under this Section 5 (Indemnification), a party seeking indemnification (each, an ”Indemnitee”) will: (a) promptly notify the Indemnitor of the claim for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification (but late notice will only relieve Indemnitor of its obligation to indemnify to the extent that it has been prejudiced by the delay); (b) grant the Indemnitor sole control of the defense (including selection of counsel) and settlement of the claim; (c) provide the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitor’s expense, with all assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the claim; and (d) preserve and will not waive legal, professional or any other privilege attaching to any of the records, documents, or other information in relation to such claim without prior notification of consent by the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor will not settle any claim in a manner that does not fully discharge the claim against an Indemnitee or that imposes any obligation on, or restricts any right of, an Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. An Indemnitee has the right to retain counsel, at the Indemnitee’s expense, to participate in the defense or settlement of any claim. The Indemnitor will not be liable for any settlement or compromise that an Indemnitee enters into without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent.
  6. Limitation of Liability.
    1. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO (I) LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, (II) LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, OR (III) CUSTOMER’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR (A) INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGES; (B) LOST PROFITS OR REVENUE; (C) LOSS FROM DAMAGE TO BUSINESS OR GOODWILL; (D) LOSS OF DATA; OR (E) LOSS ARISING FROM INACCURATE OR UNEXPECTED RESULTS ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE DATABRICKS SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES ARISING.

EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF (I) PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF A PARTY, ITS EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, OR AGENTS; (II) DATABRICKS’ INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS FOR AN IP CLAIM; OR (III) CUSTOMER’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, AND SUBJECT TO SECTION 6.3 AND 6.5, IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EACH PARTY TOGETHER WITH ALL OF ITS AFFILIATES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER AND ITS AFFILIATES FOR THE DATABRICKS SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE FIRST INCIDENT OUT OF WHICH THE LIABILITY AROSE. (THE “GENERAL CAP”). THE FOREGOING LIMITATION WILL APPLY WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, BUT WILL NOT LIMIT CUSTOMER’S AND ITS AFFILIATES’ PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 8 (PAYMENT).
    3. SUBJECT TO SECTION 6.1 AND 6.4, DATABRICKS’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS OR DAMAGES, DIRECT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH DATABRICKS’ BREACH OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS (SECTION 2.2), DATA PROTECTION OBLIGATIONS (SECTION 2.3) OR, WITH RESPECT TO THE PROVISION BY DATABRICKS OF THE PLATFORM SERVICES (AS APPLICABLE), THE SECURITY MEASURES SET FORTH IN SECTION 2.5 OF THE PLATFORM SCHEDULE, WHERE SUCH BREACH RESULTS IN UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF CUSTOMER CONTENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH CLAIMS OR DAMAGES ARE CAUSED BY DATABRICKS’ GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, SHALL BE LIMITED TO TWO (2) TIMES THE GENERAL CAP (“DATA PROTECTION CLAIMS CAP”).
    4. IN NO EVENT SHALL DATABRICKS BE LIABLE FOR THE SAME EVENT UNDER BOTH THE GENERAL LIABILITY CAP AND THE DATA PROTECTION CLAIMS CAP. SIMILARLY, THOSE CAPS SHALL NOT BE CUMULATIVE; IF THERE ARE ONE OR MORE CLAIMS SUBJECT TO EACH OF THOSE CAPS, THE MAXIMUM TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS IN THE AGGREGATE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE DATA PROTECTION CLAIMS CAP.

  7. Term
    1. Term of Agreement. The Agreement will become effective on the Effective Date and will continue in full force and effect until terminated by either party pursuant to this Section 7 (Term). The Agreement may be terminated (i) by either party on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice if (a) there are no operative Order Forms outstanding or (b) the other party is in material breach of the Agreement and the breaching party fails to cure the breach prior to the end of the notice period; or (ii) by Databricks upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice following your receipt of a notice that you are delinquent in the payment of undisputed Fees. If the Agreement terminates pursuant to the prior sentence due to Databricks’ material breach, Databricks will refund to you that portion of any prepayments made to Databricks related to Databricks Services not yet provided. Either party can immediately terminate the Agreement if the other becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, has a receiver, examiner, or administrator of its undertaking or the whole or a substantial part of its assets appointed, or an order is made, or an effective resolution is passed, for its administration, examinership, receivership, liquidation, winding-up or other similar process, or has any distress, execution or other process levied or enforced against the whole or a substantial part of its assets (which is not discharged, paid out, withdrawn or removed within 30 days), or is subject to any proceedings which are equivalent or substantially similar to any of the foregoing under any applicable jurisdiction, or ceases to conduct business or threatens to do so.
    2. Term of Order Forms. The Term of an Order Form will be as specified in the Order Form.
    3. Survival. All provisions of the Agreement that by their nature should survive termination will so survive.
  8. Payment. Unless your usage of the Databricks Services is being paid for by a third party under contract with Databricks (such third party, the “Responsible Customer”), you will pay all Fees specified in the applicable Order Form. With respect to direct Order Forms, except as otherwise specified therein: (a) all Fees owed to Databricks will be paid in U.S. Dollars; (b) invoiced payments will be due within 30 days of the date of your receipt of each invoice; and (c) Fees for all committed Databricks Services will be invoiced in full upon execution of the applicable Order Form and all excess usage will be invoiced monthly in arrears. With respect to a Reseller Order, payment terms will be specified on such Reseller Order, provided that should you fail to pay Fees when due to a Databricks-authorized reseller, Databricks may seek payment directly from you. All past due payments, except to the extent reasonably disputed, will accrue interest at the highest rate allowed under applicable laws but in no event more than one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month. You will be solely responsible for payment of any applicable sales, value added or use taxes, or similar government fees or taxes.
  9. General.
    1. Export. The Databricks Services may be subject to export laws of the United States and other jurisdictions. Each party represents that it is not named on any U.S. government denied-party or debarment list. You will not permit your users to access or use any Databricks Services in a U.S. embargoed country (as of the Effective Date, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria or Crimea) or in violation of any U.S. export Law.
    2. Governing Law and Venue. The governing law and exclusive venue applicable to any lawsuit or other dispute arising in connection with the Agreement will be determined by the location of Customer’s principal place of business (“Domicile”), as follows:
      Customer’s Domicile Governing Law Venue (courts with exclusive jurisdiction)
      California California San Francisco (state and U.S. federal courts)
      North America except California; South America; Middle East; Africa Delaware Delaware (state and U.S. federal courts)
      United Kingdom England & Wales London
      Europe except United Kingdom (including all of Russia and Turkey) Ireland Dublin
      Pacific & Asia (excluding Middle East, Australia and New Zealand) Singapore Singapore
      Australia and New Zealand Australia Victoria

      The parties hereby irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the courts in the venues shown above. In all cases, the application of law will be without regard to, or application of, conflict of law rules or principles, and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply.

    3. Insurance Coverage. Databricks will maintain commercially appropriate insurance coverage given the nature of the Databricks Services and Databricks’ obligations under the Agreement. Such insurance will be in an industry standard form with licensed insurance carriers with A.M. ratings of A- IX or better, and will include commercially appropriate cyber liability insurance coverage. Upon request, Databricks will provide Customer with certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage.
    4. Entire Agreement, Construction, Amendment and Execution. The Agreement (including any referenced Schedule and all Order Forms) is the complete and exclusive understanding and agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter, provided that to the extent Customer uses any Databricks Services subject to Schedules not included in this Agreement, the relevant Schedule in effect at the time of first use at www.databricks.com/mcsa shall be deemed to govern use of such Databricks Services unless the parties agree otherwise in writing and any reference to a term in such schedule shall be interpreted accordingly; for the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does not provide for or govern the acquisition or use of any Databricks Powered Service. To the extent any provision in an Order Form clearly conflicts with a provision of this MCSA, a Schedule, or a provision of an earlier Order Form, the provision in the new Order Form will be binding and the conflicting provision in this MCSA or in the earlier Order Form will be deemed modified solely to the extent reasonably necessary to eliminate the conflict and solely with respect to the new Order Form (unless expressly intended to permanently amend the Agreement including any Schedule). If any provision of the Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible, and the other provisions will remain in full force and effect. The headings in the Agreement and the Schedules are solely for convenience and will not be taken into consideration in interpretation of the Agreement. Any translation of this Agreement or an Order Form that is provided as a courtesy shall not be legally binding and the English language version will always prevail. Each party acknowledges and agrees that it has adequate sophistication, including legal representation, to fully review and understand the Agreement; therefore, in interpretation of the Agreement with respect to any drafting ambiguities that may be identified or alleged, no presumption will be given in favor of the non-drafting party. The Agreement may not be modified or amended except by mutual written agreement of the parties. Without limiting the foregoing, no Customer purchase order will be deemed to modify an Order Form or the Agreement or any Schedule unless expressly pre-authorized in writing by Databricks. The Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, will constitute one and the same instrument. A party’s electronic signature or transmission of any document by electronic means will be deemed to bind such party as if signed and transmitted in physical form.
    5. Assignment. No assignment, novation or transfer of a party’s rights and obligations under the Agreement (“Assignment”) is permitted except with the prior written approval of the other party, which will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that either party may freely make an Assignment to a successor in interest upon a change of control, except that if such Assignment is to a direct competitor of the other party or would cause the other party to become in violation of applicable laws that is not reasonably addressable, such other party may terminate the Agreement upon written notice.
    6. Notice. Any required notice under the Agreement will be deemed given when received by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or recorded prepaid mail. Unless notified in writing of a change of address, you will send any required notice to Databricks, Inc., 160 Spear Street, Suite 1300, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA, attention: Legal Department, or to the alternative Databricks Affiliate (if any) identified in an applicable Order Form, and Databricks will send any required notice to you directed to the most recent address you have provided to Databricks for such notice.
    7. Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable or responsible to the other party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached the Agreement for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of the Agreement (except for any obligations to make payments to the other party), when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond the impacted party’s (“Impacted Party”) reasonable control, including without limitation the following force majeure events (“Force Majeure Event(s)“): (a) acts of God, (b) acts of government, including any changes in law or regulations, (c) acts or omissions of third parties, (d) flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, wars, acts of terror, pandemics, or strikes or other actions taken by labor organizations, (e) computer, telecommunications, the Internet, Internet service provider or hosting facility failures or delays involving hardware, software or power systems not within the Impacted Party’s possession or reasonable control, (f) network intrusions or denial of service attacks, or (g) any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, that is beyond the Impacted Party’s reasonable control.
