Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the Confidential Information disclosed is: (a) the Disclosing Party’s trade secret, the Receiving Party will treat such information as Confidential Information for as long as the Confidential Information remains the Disclosing Party’s trade secret; or (b) required by law to be protected for a duration beyond that provided hereunder, the Receiving Party will maintain such information in confidence for the duration required by law.

13. GENERAL.

13.1  Diagnostics and Reporting. Customer acknowledges that the Services include diagnostic functionality as the default configuration. The diagnostic function collects configuration files, software versions, log files and other information regarding the Customer Environment and use of those elements of Cloudera Online Services that are deployed in the Customer Environment, and reports that information to Cloudera for use in proactively identifying potential issues with the Services, to enhance the usability of the Services, and for other internal Cloudera purposes. While Customer may elect to change the diagnostic function of the Services in order to disable regular automatic reporting, Customer agrees that, up to once per quarter, if requested by Cloudera, it will run the diagnostic function and report the results to Cloudera. For purposes of clarity, the diagnostic functionality described in this Section 13.1 does not include metering capabilities within the Services which Cloudera uses to determine Customer’s usage for billing purposes.  Customer may not disable, tamper with or otherwise alter any such metering capabilities within the Services.

13.2  Modifications to these Terms. Cloudera may, from time to time, update these Terms, including Policies incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise specified by Cloudera, updates to these Terms: (a) go into effect as of the date such updates are released by Cloudera and made available at: https://www.cloudera.com/legal/commercial-terms-and-conditions.html (the “Modified Terms Effective Date”), and (b) apply to Customer upon (i) the first renewal of Customer’s Subscription Period following the Modified Terms Effective Date, or (ii) entry into a new Order Form after the Modified Terms Effective Date. Cloudera will use reasonable efforts to notify Customer of changes to these Terms that Cloudera deems to be material changes through communications via Cloudera Portal, email or other reasonable means. Customer may be required to click to accept or otherwise agree to changes to these Terms before renewing a Subscription Period or entering into a new Order Form.  In any event, however, Customer’s continued use of the Services after the updated version of these Terms goes into effect will constitute Customer’s acceptance of such updated version.

13.3  Assignment. Neither the Agreement nor any rights or duties thereunder may be transferred, assigned or delegated by Customer, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Cloudera, and any attempted transfer, assignment or delegation without such consent will be void and without effect; provided, however, that Customer may assign the Agreement, including all of its rights and duties thereunder, to any of its Affiliates upon written notice to Cloudera if such Affiliate agrees in writing to assume all of Customer’s obligations, and such Affiliate is, in the sole judgment of Cloudera, adequately capitalized and credit-worthy. Cloudera may freely transfer, assign or delegate the Agreement or its rights and obligations thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective representatives, heirs, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.

13.4  Marketing; Publicity. Subject to Customer’s express prior written approval in each instance, which may, for the purposes of this Section 13.4, be provided via e-mail, the parties may agree from time to time to collaborate on any or all of the following co-marketing activities: (a) inclusion of Customer’s name and logo on Cloudera’s website and public customer lists; (b) publication of a press release describing Customer’s election to use the Services; and/or (c) publication of a written or video success story describing Customer’s use of the Services.

If any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, (a) all other provisions will nonetheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement is not affected in any manner adverse to either party, and (ii) the parties will negotiate in good faith to modify the Agreement so as to give effect to the original intent of the parties as closely as possible.

13.7   Waiver. The failure of a party to enforce any provision or exercise any right under the Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such provision or right and will not preclude such party from enforcing such provision or exercising such right at any later time.

13.8  Modifications; Amendments. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no modification, addition, deletion or waiver of any rights under the Agreement will be binding on a party unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of each party.

13.9  Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. The Agreement is governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding arising under the Agreement will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California, and the parties expressly consent to personal jurisdiction and venue therein.

The terms of the Agreement will prevail over any additional, conflicting or inconsistent terms or conditions which may appear on any purchase order furnished by Customer, and any such terms on a Customer purchase order will have no force or effect, notwithstanding Cloudera’s acceptance or execution of such purchase order.

13.13  No Third-Party Beneficiaries. There are no third-party beneficiaries under the Agreement.

13.14  Force Majeure. Except with regard to payment obligations, neither party will be liable to the other, including for any delay or failure to perform, due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, riots, strikes or labor disputes, embargoes, government orders, terrorist acts, and denial of service, virus or hacking attacks.

13.15  Independent Contractors. The relationship between the parties established under the Agreement is that of independent contractors, and nothing in the Agreement will be construed to create an employment, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between the parties. Neither party will have any right or authority to assume or create any obligations or to make any representations or warranties on behalf of any other party, whether express or implied, or to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever.

13.16  Anti-Corruption. Each party will comply with all applicable anti-corruption laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), the U.K. Anti-Bribery Act, and all other applicable anti-corruption laws.
