2.1 You will not, and will not permit any third party to: (i) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover or obtain the source code, object code or underlying structure, ideas or algorithms of the Service or the Software (provided that reverse engineering is prohibited only to the extent such prohibition is not contrary to applicable law); (ii) modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Service or Software; (iii) use the Service or Software for timesharing or service bureau purposes or for any purpose other than your own internal use for your own internal benefit; (iv) use the Service or Software in any infringing, defamatory, harmful, fraudulent, illegal, deceptive, threatening, harassing, or obscene way; (v) create Internet “links” to the Service or “frame” or “mirror” any content on any other server or wireless or Internet-based device; (vi) upload any malicious code or programming routines, macros, or other elements that may damage, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data, orpersonal information; (vii) access the Service or Software for purposes of monitoring its availability, penetration or security testing, or any benchmarking or competitive purposes; or (viii) use the Service or Software other than in accordance with this Agreement and in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and rights.

3. CONFIDENTIALITY. This Agreement supersedes any applicable non-disclosure agreement between the parties with respect to your use of the Service and the exchange of confidential information hereunder.
3.1 “Confidential Information” shall mean all information of a party disclosed to the other party, regardless of the form of disclosure, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure, including without limitation and without the need to designate as confidential (i) with respect to Customer, the Customer Data, but not the Platform Data, and (ii) with respect to Monte Carlo, the pricing terms offered to Customer by Monte Carlo.
3.2 Each party (each a “Receiving Party”) agrees that (i) it shall use and reproduce the Confidential Information of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) only for purposes of exercising its rights and performing its obligations under these Terms and only to the extent necessary for such purposes and (ii) it shall restrict disclosure of such Confidential Information to the Receiving Party’s employees, consultants, service providers or advisors who have a need to know and who are bound by obligations of confidentiality and nonuse at least as protective of such information as this Agreement, and shall not otherwise disclose such Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party will exercise at least the same degree of care used to restrict disclosure and use of its own information of like importance, but not less than reasonable care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement for the Receiving Party to disclose Confidential Information if compelled to do so under law, in a judicial or other governmental investigation or proceeding, provided that, to the extent permitted by law, the Receiving Party has given the Disclosing Party prior notice and reasonable assistance to permit the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to object to and/or limit the judicial or governmental requirement to disclosure.
3.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither party shall be liable for using or disclosing information that such party can prove: (i) was publicly known at the time it was disclosed or has become publicly known through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) was known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, at the time of disclosure, as demonstrated by files in existence at the time of disclosure; (iii) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party; (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without any use of the Confidential Information, as demonstrated by files created at the time of such independent development; (v) becomes known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, from a source other than the Disclosing Party without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party and otherwise not in violation of the Disclosing Party’s rights; or (vi) is disclosed generally to third parties by the Disclosing Party without restrictions similar to those contained in this Agreement.

4. CUSTOMER DATA
4.1 For purposes of this Agreement, “Customer Data” means all software, data, information and other materials submitted or made available by you to the Service. You, not Monte Carlo, shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity, reliability, appropriateness and intellectual property ownership or right to use of all Customer Data. Although we have no obligation to monitor the Customer Data or your use of the Service, we may do so and may remove any such Customer Data or other content provided by you, or prohibit any use of the Service we believe may be (or alleged to be) in violation of the foregoing. If we receive any notice or claim that any Customer Data, or activities hereunder with respect to any Customer Data, may infringe or violate rights of a third party (a “Claim”), you will indemnify us from all liability, damages, settlements, attorney fees and other costs and expenses in connection with any such Claim, as incurred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, you hereby grant to Monte Carlo and our contractors a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, copy, store, archive, access, process, create derivative works of, reproduce, perform, display, modify, distribute and transmit Customer Data for the purposes of providing the Service to you.
4.2 In the course of providing the Service, we may collect statistical data and performance information, analytics, error information, meta-data or similar information, generated through instrumentation and logging systems, regarding the operation of the Service, including your use of the Service (the “Platform Data”). Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict our right to collect Platform Data or to use it for any internal business purpose, including but not limited to billing, operational excellence and quality
assurance, provided however, that we will not disclose Platform Data to any third party in a manner that allows such third party to identify you or any authorized user, other than our employees, agents or service providers who are subject to obligations of confidentiality with respect to such Platform Data.
4.3 To the extent applicable to the provision and receipt of the Service and the processing of your personal data, both parties will comply with the data processing agreement (“DPA”) available at https://www.montecarlodata.com/data-processing-addendum/, which is incorporated into this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that the DPA will apply only to the extent Data Protection Laws and/or the CCPA applies to the Agreement, as those terms are defined in the DPA.

4.4 Each party has obligations with respect to the security of the Service, a customer’s account, and Customer Data. We will implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures that align with industry standards. More details on our security measures, certifications, and policies can be found at our Trust Center available at https://trust.montecarlodata.com/. You are responsible for all activities in your account, regardless of whether undertaken by you, your employees, or a third party under your direction or control. Monte Carlo is not responsible for unauthorized access to your account unless caused by our breach of this agreement.

5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
5.1 As between the parties, Monte Carlo retains all intellectual property rights relating to the Service or the Software.

This agreement is not a sale and does not convey to you any rights of ownership in or related to the Service or Software, or any intellectual property rights.
5.2 You shall retain all right, title and interest in and to the Customer Data, including all intellectual property rights therein.

5.3 This Agreement does not transfer any right, title or interest in any intellectual property to any party, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. You may from time to time provide suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations or other comments relating to the Service and/or the Software (“Feedback”), but if you do, we may use and modify this Feedback without any restriction or payment.
5.4 Without limiting the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that Monte Carlo may provide any and all data arising or derived from and/or relating to your use of the Service (which may include, without limitation, how many times you have logged in to the Service and/or handled a data incident) to other employees of your employer, or, if you are an independent contractor, the entity that engaged you to provide services involving access to the Service. For the avoidance of doubt, such data will identify you as the user associated with such data.

6. TERMINATION. The term of this Agreement commences as of the Effective Date and will remain in force until terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon seven (7) days’ written notice to the other party. We may also terminate your account and this Agreement, or temporarily suspend your access to the Service, immediately if we reasonably determine that: (i) your use of the Service disrupts or creates a security risk to the Service, other users, or Monte Carlo systems; or (ii) you are using the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation or this Agreement. In the event of any suspension pursuant to this section, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice thereof to you, and to restore access to the Service as promptly as reasonably practicable. All sections of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including, without limitation, restrictions, confidentiality obligations, intellectual property rights, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

7. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, THE SERVICES AND MONTE CARLO CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND ANYTHING PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT ARE PROVIDED "AS-IS," WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND MONTE CARLO (AND ITS AGENTS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS) HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

9. MISCELLANEOUS. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Monte Carlo in any respect whatsoever. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees.

All notices to us notice under this Agreement must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when sent via email to the Monte Carlo representative managing your account when you send the email. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California, U.S.A. without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
