The Receiving Party shall use the same degree of care to protect the Confidential Information as it uses to protect its own information of a confidential and proprietary nature, but in no event shall it use less than a reasonable degree of care. 120Water may disclose Customer’s Confidential Information to those of its employees and contractors who need to know such information for purposes of performing the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and as permitted by applicable law, 120Water shall be permitted to retain Customer Data and Usage Data and use the same for statistical, analytical, and similar purposes internally, through publications, and with 120Water’s other customers; provided, that any distribution to third parties of the results of such usage will include Customer Data or Usage Data in aggregate form only and will not identify Customer or its Authorized Users as the source of any such data. Further, 120Water may store, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works (including compilations and statistical summaries and analyses), transmit, display and otherwise make available certain test results (and related data) and location information to third party individuals and organizations as reasonably necessary in order for 120Water to perform Services hereunder.

5.3 Compelled Disclosure; Remedies. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law, an order issued by a judge or public competent authority to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it shall provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of confidentiality protections hereunder, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek to file a lawsuit to enjoin such acts.

5.4 Survival. The Confidentiality obligations as are set forth in this Section shall remain in force and effect at all times during the term hereof and (i) with respect to Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret under applicable law, for so long as such trade secret status is maintained (but no less than the period described in subclause (ii) hereof); and (ii) with respect to Confidential Information that does not constitute a trade secret, for five (5) years after termination or expiration of this Agreement (or for the maximum amount of time permitted under applicable law, if shorter than five (5) years).

The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section. 

10.6.7 There shall be one arbitrator agreed to by the parties within thirty (30) days of receipt by respondents of the request for arbitration or, if the parties cannot agree to an arbitrator, the AAA will appoint one.  The place of arbitration shall be Indianapolis, Indiana.  

10.6.8 The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the agreement is void, voidable or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

10.6.9 In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR 120WATER WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER CUSTOMERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.

10.6.10 Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right.

10.6.11 If any provision of this Section 10.6 is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.

10.7  Miscellaneous. This Agreement, including all Orders and Exhibits, our Privacy Policy, and Terms of Sale (if applicable), constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and 120 Water Audit, Inc., with respect to the Website, the Services, and purchased goods, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Website, the Services, or purchased goods. Any inconsistency or ambiguity among such agreements shall be resolved by giving precedence in the following order: (1) this Agreement; (2) the Terms of Sale; and (3) our Privacy Policy.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited and unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be replaced with a valid provision that is closer to the scope and intent of the invalid provision and shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions hereof.
