3. Service Updates. From time to time, Hauler Hero may provide upgrades, patches, enhancements, or fixes for the Services to its customers generally without additional charge (“Updates”), and such Updates will become part of the Services and subject to this Agreement; provided that Hauler Hero shall have no obligation under this Agreement or otherwise to provide any such Updates. Customer understands that Hauler Hero may make improvements and modifications to the Services at any time in its sole discretion; provided that Hauler Hero shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give Customer reasonable prior notice of any major changes.
4. Ownership; Feedback. As between the parties, Hauler Hero retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, and all software, products, works, and other intellectual property and moral rights related thereto or created, used, or provided by Hauler Hero for the purposes of this Agreement, including any copies and derivative works of the foregoing. Any software which is distributed or otherwise provided to Customer hereunder (including without limitation any software identified on the Agreement) shall be deemed a part of the “Services” and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No rights or licenses are granted except as expressly and unambiguously set forth in this Agreement. Customer may (but is not obligated to) provide suggestions, comments or other feedback to Hauler Hero with respect to the Service (“Feedback”).

5. Confidentiality. Hauler Hero will provide Customer with confidential information and proprietary materials during Customer's implementation, including, but not limited to, guides, product descriptions and configuration tools (the "Materials").

Customer further agrees to keep pricing confidential.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Customer shall not (and shall not allow any third party to), directly or indirectly: (i) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code, or underlying structure, ideas, or algorithms of the Service (except to the extent applicable laws specifically prohibit such restriction); (ii) modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Service; (iii) copy, rent, lease, distribute, pledge, assign, or otherwise transfer or encumber rights to the Service; (iv) use the Service for the benefit of a third party; (v) remove or otherwise alter any proprietary notices or labels from the Service or any portion thereof; (vi) use the Service to build an application or product that is competitive with any Hauler Hero product or service; (vii) interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Service or any activities conducted on the Service; or (viii) bypass any measures Hauler Hero may use to prevent or restrict access to the Service (or other accounts, computer systems or networks connected to the Service).

To the extent that the Customer Data includes any personal information, (i) Hauler Hero will process, retain, use, and disclose such personal information only as necessary to provide the Services hereunder and as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, which constitutes a business purpose, (ii) Hauler Hero agrees not to sell such personal data, to retain, use, or disclose such personal data for any commercial purpose other than the foregoing purposes, or to retain, use, or disclose such personal data outside of the scope of this Agreement. Hauler Hero understands its obligations under applicable data protection laws and will comply with them. Customer agrees and acknowledges that Customer Data may be irretrievably deleted if Customer’s account is ninety (90) days or more delinquent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Hauler Hero may (i) internally use and modify (but not disclose) Customer Data for the purposes of (A) providing the Service to Customer and (B) generating Aggregated Anonymous Data (as defined below), and (ii) freely use, retain and make available Aggregated Anonymous Data for Hauler Hero’s business purposes (including without limitation, for purposes of improving, testing, operating, promoting and marketing Hauler Hero’s products and services). “Aggregated Anonymous Data” means data submitted to, collected by, or generated by Hauler Hero in connection with Customer’s use of the Service, but only in aggregate, anonymized form which can in no way be linked specifically to Customer.

Hauler Hero is not responsible for the operation of any Third Party Services nor the availability or operation of the Service to the extent such availability and operation is dependent upon Third Party Services. Customer is solely responsible for procuring any and all rights necessary for it to access Third Party Services (including any Customer Data or other information relating thereto) and for complying with any applicable terms or conditions thereof. Hauler Hero does not make any representations or warranties with respect to Third Party Services or any third party providers. Any exchange of data or other interaction between Customer and a third party provider is solely between Customer and such third party provider and is governed by such third party’s terms and conditions.
9. Indemnification. Each party (“Indemnitor”) shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other party, its affiliates and each of its and its affiliates’ employees, contractors, directors, suppliers and representatives (collectively, the “Indemnitee”) from all liabilities, claims, and expenses paid or payable to an unaffiliated third party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Losses”), that arise from or relate to any claim that (i) in the case of Customer as Indemnitor, that the Customer Data or Customer’s use of the Service infringes, violates, or misappropriates any third party intellectual property or proprietary right, including any rights of privacy, or violates any applicable law, or (B) in the case of Hauler Hero as Indemnitor, the Service infringes, violates, or misappropriates any third party intellectual property or proprietary right, or (ii) the Service (in the case of Hauler Hero as Indemnitor), infringes, violates, or misappropriates any third party intellectual property or proprietary right. Each Indemnitor’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be conditioned upon the Indemnitee providing the Indemnitor with: (x) prompt written notice of any claim (provided that a failure to provide such notice shall only relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnity obligations if the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure); (y) the option to assume sole control over the defense and settlement of any claim (provided that the Indemnitee may participate in such defense and settlement at its own expense); and (z) reasonable information and assistance in connection with such defense and settlement (at the Indemnitor’s expense). The foregoing obligations of Hauler Hero do not apply with respect to the Service or any information, technology, materials or data (or any portions or components of the foregoing) to the extent (i) not created or provided by Hauler Hero (including without limitation any Customer Data), (ii) made in whole or in part in accordance to Customer specifications, (iii) modified after delivery by Hauler Hero, (iv) combined with other products, processes or materials not provided by Hauler Hero (where the alleged Losses arise from or relate to such combination), (v) where Customer continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (vi) Customer’s use of the Service is not strictly in accordance herewith.
