In its sponsorship of Seller’s claims, Buyer will follow all relevant procedural rules to enable the claim to proceed.

(v)    If Seller is unable to support any part of a claim contemplated under this Claim Sponsorship clause and it is determined that such inability is attributable to fraud or misinterpretation of fact on the part of Seller, then Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer from any and all liability of any kind incurred by or imputed to Buyer under Section 7103(c) (Fraudulent Claims) of the CDA. Nothing in this section nor any authorization or offer shall be deemed to constitute acceptance or acknowledgement by Buyer of the validity of Seller’s claim or any part thereof, nor be deemed to limit or in any way restrict Buyer from taking any actions, included available remedies, it deems appropriate to protect its own interests.

Buyer may disclose to Seller certain non-public information or materials relating to Buyer’s products, intellectual property, business, business plans, marketing programs and efforts, customer lists, customer information, financial information, and other confidential information and trade secrets that is identified or labeled as “proprietary” or “confidential” (“Confidential Information”) under the Order or under a nondisclosure agreement. Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no breach by Seller of the Order; (b) was previously known to Seller prior to the date of disclosure, as evidenced by contemporaneous written records; (c) was acquired from a third party without any breach of any obligation of confidentiality; or (d) was independently developed by Seller without reference to Buyer’ s Confidential Information. To the extent Confidential Information is required to be disclosed pursuant to a subpoena or other similar order of any court or government agency, Seller, upon receiving such subpoena or order, shall (i) promptly inform Buyer in writing and provide a copy thereof, (ii) cooperate with Buyer in limiting disclosure of Buyer’s Confidential Information, and (iii) shall only disclose that Confidential Information necessary to comply with such subpoena or order. Seller will not use or disclose any Buyer Confidential Information without Buyer’s prior written consent, except disclosure to and subsequent uses by Seller’s authorized employees or agents (legal counsel, insurers, and similar third parties, excluding third party subcontractors) on a need-to-know basis for performance of the Order, provided that such employees or agents have executed written agreements restricting use or disclosure of such Confidential Information that are at least as restrictive as Seller’s obligations under this Confidentiality Article. Subject to the foregoing nondisclosure and non-use obligations, Seller agrees to use at least the same care and precaution in protecting such Confidential Information as Seller uses to protect its own Confidential Information, and in no event less than reasonable care. Seller acknowledges that due to the unique nature of the Buyer’s Confidential Information, Buyer will not have an adequate remedy in money or damages in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of its Confidential Information. In addition to any other remedies that may be available in law, in equity or otherwise, Buyer shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to prevent such unauthorized use or disclosure. In any action for equitable relief, the Parties agree to waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or security. On Buyer’s written request or upon expiration or termination of the Order for any reason, Seller will promptly return or destroy, at Buyer’s option, all originals and copies of Buyer’s Confidential Information, including all documents and materials it has received containing such Confidential Information, together with all summaries, records, modifications, adoptions and other documents containing or prepared from Buyer’s Confidential Information.

36.    NO PUBLICITY: Seller shall not make any media release or other public announcement relating to or referring to the Order without Buyer’s prior written consent. Seller shall acquire no right to use, and shall not use, without Buyer’s prior written consent, the terms or existence of the Order, the names, trade names, trademarks, service marks, artwork, designs, or copyrighted materials of Buyer: (i) in any advertising, publicity, press release, customer list, presentation or promotion; (ii) to express or to imply any endorsement of Seller or Seller’s Items or Services; or (iii) in any manner other than expressly in accordance with the Order.

37.    NO WAIVER: Either Party’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict compliance by the other Party with respect to any aspect of the Order shall not be deemed a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of any of either Party’s rights; rather, the same shall remain in full force and effect. Waiver of a right under the Order shall not constitute a waiver of any other right, waiver or default under the Order.

38.    SEVERABILITY: If any part, term, or provision of the Order is found to be void, illegal, unenforceable, or in conflict with any law or regulation of the government having jurisdiction over the Order, that part will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law and the remainder of the Order will remain in full force. In the event that any part, term or provision of the Order is found to be void, illegal, unenforceable, or in conflict with law, Seller agrees to negotiate a replacement provision, construed to accomplish its originally intended effect that does not violate such law or regulation.

39.    SURVIVABILITY: All of the provisions of the Order shall survive the termination (whether for convenience or default), suspension or completion of the Order unless they are clearly intended to apply only during the term of the Order.

40.    ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS: The Parties agree that if the Order is transmitted electronically, neither Party shall contest its validity, or any acknowledgment thereof, on the basis that the Order contains an electronic signature.

41.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT: The Order, including all exhibits, schedules, and attachments, contains the entire agreement of the Parties, and supersedes any prior negotiations, representations, and course of dealing, whether written or oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Order may be amended or supplemented only by a writing that refers explicitly to the Order and is signed by the Buyer’s Procurement Representative and Seller.

42.    LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, MULTIPLE OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE ORDER. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY IN ANY CAUSE OF ACTION BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE FOR THE PERFORMANCE OR BREACH OF THE ORDER OR ANYTHING DONE IN CONNECTION THEREWITH EXCEED THE ORDER PRICE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THE ORDER TO THE CONTRARY, THE STATED MONETARY LIMITATION HEREINABOVE IS THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY EITHER PARTY HAS TO THE OTHER PARTY. TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY CONFLICTS WITH ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THE ORDER, THE PROVISION SHALL BE REGARDED AS AMENDED TO WHATEVER EXTENT REQUIRED TO MAKE SUCH PROVISION CONSISTENT WITH THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

SECTION 2 – FAR, DFARS, AND NFS CLAUSES FOR NON-COMMERCIAL ITEMS

APPLICABLE IF THE ORDER IS PLACED UNDER BUYER CONTRACT CONTAINING SUCH CLAUSES

The Parties agree that any clause exemption for commercial services is applicable to this Order because Seller is a nontraditional defense contractor, as defined by DFARS 212.102(a)(iii) and 252.215-7013 (JAN 2018), that is not currently performing and has not performed any contract or subcontract for DoD that is subject to full coverage under the Cost Accounting Standards pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 1502 and the regulations implementing such section, and as such, is eligible for commercial contracting procedures under DoD contracts.

In addition to the clauses of Section 1 (Articles Applicable to All Orders), the following Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”), Department of Defense FAR Supplement (“DFARS”), (collectively, “USG Clauses”) shall apply to the Order if the terms of the specific clause require that the clause be included in subcontracts of the dollar value and nature of the work to be performed by Seller and no exemption applies. These USG Clauses are hereby incorporated by reference, as applicable, and in the manner set forth below, including any parenthetical information regarding applicability and bracketed information regarding modifications to the USG Clauses. For certain USG Clauses, Buyer has provided parenthetical language describing the circumstances in which the USG Clauses apply to the Order. This parenthetical language may not encompass all situations where the USG Clauses apply, and Seller is responsible for confirming whether the USG Clauses are applicable to the Order.

The effective version of the USG Clauses shall be the version in effect as of the date the Order is issued

In interpreting and applying USG Clauses flowed down to Seller, and as context requires, the terms “Contractor” and “Offeror” shall mean Seller, the term “Contract” shall mean the Order, and the term “Government”, “Contracting Officer” and equivalent phrases shall mean Buyer and/or the Buyer’s Procurement Representative. However, as an exception to the foregoing, the terms “Government” and “Contracting Officer” do not change in the following circumstances:

 

  (a)

in the phrases “Government Property,” “Government-Furnished Property,” and “Government-Owned Property;”

 

  (b)

in the Patent Rights clauses incorporated therein, if any;

 

  (c)

when a right, act, authorization or obligation can be granted or performed only by the Government or a Contracting Officer or his/her duly-authorized representative;

 

  (d)

when title to property is to be transferred directly to the Government;

 

  (e)

when access to proprietary financial information or other proprietary data is required, except as otherwise provided in the Order; and

Any resulting contract may also provide the Government the option to order additional data under the Additional Data Requirements clause at 52.227-16, if included in the contract. Any data delivered under the resulting contract will be subject to the Rights in Data—General clause at 52.227-14 included in this contract. Under the latter clause, a Contractor may withhold from delivery data that qualify as limited rights data or restricted computer software, and deliver form, fit, and function data instead. The latter clause also may be used with its Alternates II and/or Ill to obtain delivery of limited rights data or restricted computer software, marked with limited rights or restricted rights notices, as appropriate. In addition, use of Alternate V with this latter clause provides the Government the right to inspect such data at the Contractor’s facility.
