RECORDS MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION AND AUDIT
6.1 Partner must maintain true and accurate financial and accounting records related to this Agreement through the Term and for four (4) years thereafter (“Audit Period”).

Any such audit will be conducted during Partner’s business hours and will not unreasonably interfere with Partner’s business activities. Partner shall provide Duo Security with all reasonable assistance and information required to enable it to determine whether Partner is in compliance with this Agreement. If the audit reveals that Partner has underpaid amounts due under this Agreement, Partner shall pay such amounts within thirty (30) days after receiving notice, plus interest at the rate set forth in Section 5. If the audit reveals that Partner has underpaid amounts totaling five percent (5%) or more of the amounts due in any year, Partner shall reimburse Duo Security for all reasonable costs, fees, and expenses associated with such audit within thirty (30) days after receiving notice.
CONFIDENTIALITY
7.1 The term “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by one party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”) in any form (written, oral, etc.) that is marked as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of the disclosure, including, without limitation: trade secrets; technology and technical information (intellectual property, inventions, know-how ideas and methods); business, financial and customer information; pricing, forecasts, strategies and product development plans; and/or the terms of this Agreement. Each party understands that the Disclosing Party has or may disclose Confidential Information in connection with this Agreement, but that Receiving Party shall receive no rights in, or licenses to, such Confidential Information.
7.2 The Receiving Party agrees: (i) not to disclose Confidential Information to any third person other than those of its employees, contractors, advisors, investors and potential acquirers (“Representatives”) with a need to have access thereto and who have entered into non-disclosure and non-use agreements applicable to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, and (ii) to use such Confidential Information solely as reasonably required in connection with the Services and/or this Agreement. Each party agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement caused by any of its Representatives. The Receiving Party further agrees to take the same security precautions to protect against unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized use of such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that the party takes with its own confidential or proprietary information, but in no event will a party apply less than reasonable precautions to protect such Confidential Information. Each party acknowledges that the use of such precautions is not a guarantee against unauthorized disclosure or use. The Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing will not apply with respect to any information that the Receiving Party can document: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public without any action by, or involvement of, the Receiving Party; or (b) was in its possession or known by it prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party; or (c) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by a third party; or (d) was independently developed without use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information as required in response to a request under applicable open records laws or pursuant to any judicial or governmental order, provided that, to the extent permitted by law, the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice to contest such disclosure. For the avoidance of doubt, Partner acknowledges that Duo Security utilizes the services of certain third parties in connection with the provision of the Services (such as data hosting and telephony service providers) and such third parties, along with any other third party service providers that Partner or Customer may choose to integrate with the Services, will have access to Partner’s and Customers’ Confidential Information, including Partner Data, in accordance with this Agreement. The parties agree that Performance Data is not Confidential Information and will not be subject to any confidentiality restrictions or obligations.
7.3 Each party agrees that, upon the written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will promptly return to the Disclosing Party, or provide written certification of the destruction of, all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, including all Confidential Information contained in internal documents, without retaining any copy, extract or summary of any part thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Receiving Party may retain copies of Confidential Information solely to the extent necessary for purposes of such party’s ordinary course internal document retention and backup requirements and procedures, provided that such Confidential Information shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement for so long as it is retained.
7.4 Partner acknowledges that Duo Security does not wish to receive any Confidential Information from Partner that is not necessary for Duo Security to perform its obligations under this Agreement and, unless the parties specifically agree otherwise, Duo Security may reasonably presume that any unrelated information received from Partner is not confidential or Confidential Information, unless such information is marked as “Confidential.”
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; OWNERSHIP
Except as expressly set forth herein, Duo Security alone (and its licensors, where applicable) will retain all Intellectual Property Rights relating to the Services or the Software or any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations or other information provided by Partner, Customers, a User or any third party relating to the Services and/or the Software, which are hereby assigned to Duo Security. Partner will not copy, distribute, reproduce or use any of the foregoing except as expressly permitted under this Agreement. As between the parties, Duo Security owns all Performance Data. This Agreement is not a sale and does not convey to Partner, or any Customer, any rights of ownership in or related to the Services or Software, or any Intellectual Property Rights.
DATA PROTECTION
9.1 In this Section 9, the terms “personal data,” “data processor,” “data subprocessor,” “data subject,” “process and processing” and “data controller” shall be as defined in the applicable Data Protection Laws.
9.2 For the purposes of the Data Protection Laws, Partner agrees that Duo Security is a data processor (or subprocessor, as applicable) and not the data controller of any personal data related to Partner’s or any Customer’s use of the Services. Solely if and to the extent Duo Security is processing personal data, as defined in the General Data Protection Regulation, that is contained in Partner Data or Customer Data on Partner’s or any Customer’s behalf, then the terms of the data processing agreement available at https://duo.com/legal/gdpr-data-protection-addendum shall apply to such processing and are incorporated into this Agreement.
9.3 Partner may enable integrations between the Services and certain third party services used by its Customers (each, an “Integration”). By enabling an Integration between the Services and any Customer’s third party services, Partner is hereby instructing Duo Security, on behalf of its Customer and in accordance with such Customer’s instructions to Partner, to share any Customer Personal Data necessary to facilitate the Integration. Partner and its Customers are responsible for providing any and all instructions to such third party service providers about the use and protection of Customer Personal Data. Duo Security and any such third party service providers are not subprocessors of each other.
9.4 As the data controller, or processor as applicable, of Partner Personal Data and Customer Personal Data, Partner represents and warrants to Duo Security that its provision of personal data to Duo Security and instructions for processing such personal data in connection with the Services shall comply with all Data Protection Laws.
9.5 Partner may, upon at least thirty (30) days prior notice, and no more than once per 12 month period, appoint an independent third party auditor to physically inspect and audit, at Partner’s sole cost and expense, any facilities owned or controlled by Duo Security in which Partner or Customer Personal Data is processed or stored, provided that such inspection: (i) shall occur on a mutually agreed upon date during Duo Security’s regular business hours; (ii) does not interfere with any of Duo Security’s business operations; and, (iii) does not, in Duo Security’s reasonable discretion, create any risk to the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of any data stored or processed by Duo Security. Prior to any audit, Partner, and any appointed auditor, must enter into a nondisclosure and confidentiality agreement as may be required by Duo Security.
INDEMNIFICATION
Duo Security shall indemnify and hold Partner harmless from liability to third parties resulting from infringement by the Services of any patent or any copyright or misappropriation of any trade secret, provided Duo Security is promptly notified of any and all threats, claims and proceedings related thereto and given reasonable assistance and the opportunity to assume sole control over defense and settlement; Duo Security will not be responsible for any settlement it does not approve. The foregoing obligations do not apply with respect to portions or components of the Services (i) not created by Duo Security, (ii) resulting in whole or in part from Customer and/or Partner specifications, (iii) that are modified after delivery by Duo Security without Duo Security’s prior written consent, (iv) combined with other products, processes or materials where the alleged infringement relates to such combination, (v) where Customer and/or Partner continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (vi) where Customer’s use of Services is not strictly in accordance with the Customer Agreement and all related Documentation. If Duo Security receives information about an actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation claim that would be subject to indemnification rights set forth in this Section 10, Duo Security shall have the option, at its expense, to: (a) modify the Software to be non-infringing; or (b) obtain for each applicable Customer a license to continue using the Software. If Duo Security determines it is not commercially reasonable to perform either of the above options, then Duo Security may at its option elect to terminate the applicable Customer Agreements for the Services and, as a sole and exclusive remedy, refund the unearned portion of any pre-paid subscription Fees, prorated on a monthly basis. THIS SECTION STATES PARTNER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION AND/OR CLAIMS ALLEGING INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION. In addition to Partner’s other indemnification obligations herein, Partner will indemnify Duo Security from all damages, costs, settlements, attorneys’ fees and expenses related to any claim related to Partner’s breach of Section 3 “Partner Responsibilities,” Section 4 “Restrictions,” Section 8 “Intellectual Property Rights: Ownership” or Section 9 “Data Protection.”
