These Terms and any Order Form that references these Terms are collectively referred to herein as the "Agreement". By accessing or using the Software (as defined below) or clicking a button or checking a box marked “Submit”, “I Agree”, “I Accept”, or something similar, or by otherwise affirmatively manifesting your assent to this Agreement, Customer signifies that Customer has read, understood, and agrees to be bound by this Agreement.

4. Fees; Payment
4.1 Fees
Customer shall pay the Fees [within thirty (30) calendar days of Customer’s receipt of Codecov’s invoice]. Fees are non-refundable unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement (including without limitation the applicable Order Form) or as required by Applicable Laws.
4.2 Late Payments

Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes, excluding only taxes based on Codecov's net income. If Codecov has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this Section 4.3, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer unless Customer provides Codecov with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
4.4 Fee Increases
Codecov may, in its sole discretion, increase or otherwise modify the Fees at each renewal period during the Subscription Term by providing Customer notice of changes to the Fees at least forty-five (45) days prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Term. If Customer does not agree to the new or changed Fees, Customer may exercise its right not to renew the Agreement.
5. Subscription Term and Termination.
5.1 Effective Date and Subscription Term.
Unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section 5, this Agreement and the license granted hereunder shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall continue through the Subscription Term.

5.2 Termination for Cause.
Either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other party: (a) if the other party breaches or fails to perform or observe any material term or condition of this Agreement and such default has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such default to the other party; (b) if the Software becomes, in its entirety, subject to the circumstances described in Section 10.2(iii); or (c) if the other party (i) terminates or suspends its business, (ii) becomes subject to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding under Federal or state statute, (iii) becomes insolvent or subject to direct control by a trustee, receiver or similar authority, or (iv) has wound up or liquidated, voluntarily or otherwise.

If Customer terminates this Agreement for cause under Section 5.2, then Codecov will provide Customer a refund of the Fees paid for the then-current Subscription Term, prorated by a fraction the numerator of which will be the number of days during the Subscription Term during which Customer had access to the Software and the denominator of which will be the total number of days during the Subscription Term. Within five (5) days after termination of this Agreement, the receiving party shall return to the disclosing party or, upon the disclosing party's request, destroy, at the receiving party’s expense, all Confidential Information and materials containing any Confidential Information of the disclosing party and deliver to the disclosing party a certification, in writing signed by a duly authorized representative of the receiving party, that the Confidential Information and all copies thereof have been returned or destroyed, and their use discontinued; provided, however, that neither the receiving party nor any of its representatives shall be obligated to return or destroy Confidential Information to the extent it has been electronically archived by any such party in accordance with its automated security and/or disaster recovery procedures as in effect from time to time. Nothing contained herein shall limit any other remedies that either party may have for the default of the other party under this Agreement nor relieve either party of any of its obligations incurred prior to such termination.
6. Confidentiality
6.1 Confidential Information; Nonuse and Nondisclosure
Each party, as a receiving party, agrees to retain in confidence the non-public information and know-how disclosed to it pursuant to this Agreement which is either designated in writing as proprietary and/or confidential, if disclosed in writing, or if disclosed orally, is designated in writing (which may be via email) as confidential within thirty (30) days of the oral disclosure or should reasonably be understood to be confidential by the recipient (the "Confidential Information"). Notwithstanding any failure to so designate them, the Software, the Documentation and the Terms shall be Codecov's Confidential Information. Each party agrees to: (a) preserve and protect the confidentiality of the other party’s Confidential Information; (b) refrain from using the other party’s Confidential Information except as contemplated herein; and (c) not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party except to employees, officers, affiliates, controlling stockholders, agents, advisors, subcontractors and other representatives as is reasonably required in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (and only subject to binding use and disclosure restrictions at least as protective as those set forth herein). Each party agrees to immediately notify the other party of any unauthorized disclosure or use of any Confidential Information and to assist the other party in remedying such unauthorized use or disclosure by taking such steps as are reasonably requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information which is: (i) already publicly known without breach of this Agreement; (ii) discovered, created or independently developed by the receiving party without use of, or reference to, the Confidential Information of the disclosing party, as shown in records of the receiving party; (iii) otherwise known to the receiving party through no wrongful conduct of the receiving party, or (iv) required to be disclosed by law or court order; provided that the receiving party shall provide prompt notice thereof and commercially reasonable assistance to the disclosing party to enable the disclosing party to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or restrict such disclosure. Moreover, either party hereto may disclose any Confidential Information hereunder to such party’s agents, attorneys and other representatives (and only subject to confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those set forth herein) or any court of competent jurisdiction as reasonably required to resolve any dispute between the parties hereto.
6.2 Remedy
Each party agrees and acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of this Section 6 may cause irreparable injury to the disclosing party and that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, in law, in equity or otherwise, the disclosing party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against the threatened breach of this Agreement or the continuation of any such breach by the receiving party, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided by law.
7. Privacy and Security
Customer understands that by using Codecov’s products and services, Customer agrees to Codecov’s collection, use and disclosure of Customer personal information and other Customer Inputs as set forth in our Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated into these Terms. Customer further understands that by using Codecov’s products and services it agrees to have its personal information and other Customer Inputs collected, used, transferred to and processed in the United States. Customer understands that Codecov cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or use Customer personal information or other Customer Inputs for improper purposes. Customer acknowledges that it provides personal information and other Customer Inputs at its own risk. For the purposes of these Terms, "personal information" is defined in the Privacy Policy, available at https://codecov.io/site/privacy, as it may be updated by Codecov from time to time.
8. Suggestions and Improvements.
Customer may choose to or Codecov may invite Customer to submit comments or ideas about Codecov’s products and services, including without limitation the Software and Documentation ("Feedback"). By submitting any Feedback, Customer agrees that its disclosure is gratuitous, unsolicited and without restriction and will not place Codecov under any fiduciary or other obligation, and that Codecov is free to use the Feedback without any additional compensation to Customer or anyone else, and/or to disclose the Feedback on a non-confidential basis or otherwise to anyone.

10 Indemnification
10.1 Codecov Indemnity
Codecov shall defend or settle, at its own option and expense, any suit, claim, action, or proceeding brought against Customer by a third-party to the extent based upon a claim that the Software infringes any U.S. copyright or trademark or misappropriates any U.S. trade secret of such third-party, and will pay such damages or costs as are finally awarded against Customer by a court (or mediator or arbitrator, if applicable) of competent jurisdiction or are agreed to in a settlement that are attributable to such claim (provided that Codecov may not enter into any settlement or dispose of any claim in a manner that requires Customer to admit any liability or that places any material obligation on Customer without its prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).
10.2 Codecov Options
Should the Software become, or in the opinion of Codecov be likely to become, the subject of such an infringement claim, Codecov may, at its option: (a) procure for Customer the right to use the Software at no cost to Customer; (b) replace or modify, in whole or in part, the Software to make it non-infringing; or (c) if neither (a) nor (b) are, in Codecov’s sole and absolute discretion, commercially practicable, accept return of the Software, or remove the allegedly offending module thereof, and, refund the Fees paid for such Software or module by Customer, less an amount determined by multiplying the Fees paid for such Software or such module during the then-current Subscription Term by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months during the then-current Subscription Term during which Customer had use of the Software and the denominator of which is the total number of months during the then-current Subscription Term.

10.4 Customer Indemnification
Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Codecov and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees) arising from or relating to: (a) Codecov’s ingestion, commingling, processing, use, or distribution of the Customer Inputs as permitted hereunder; or (b) Customer’s or its Authorized Users’: (i) use of and access to the Software in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement and Documentation; (ii) breach of Section 2 or 9.2; or (iii) Customer’s negligence or willful misconduct.

The party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") must provide the party from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party"): (a) prompt written notice of the claim for which indemnification is sought (provided that a failure to provide such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent material prejudice results from such failure); (b) sole control over the defense and settlement of the claim (provided that the Indemnifying Party may not enter into any settlement or dispose of any claim in a manner that requires the Indemnified Party to admit any liability or that places any material obligation on the Indemnified Party without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); and (c) all reasonable cooperation, at the Indemnifying Party’s request and expense, in the defense and settlement of the claim.

11.2 Damages Waiver
EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO EXCLUDED CLAIMS, NEITHER PARTY NOR ITS LICENSORS WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS, CONTRACTS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, PRODUCTION, ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF DATA, OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 9, FOR ANY CLAIM OR DEMAND BY ANY OTHER PARTY, HOWEVER CAUSED AND (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS) UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

13. Miscellaneous
13.1 Assignment
Neither party shall assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law or otherwise, to any third party without the other party’s prior written consent. Any purported transfer, assignment or delegation without such prior written consent will be null and void and of no force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall have the right to assign this Agreement to any successor to its business or assets to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, sale of assets, sale of stock, reorganization or otherwise. Subject to this Section 13.1, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
13.2 Delays
In the event that either party is prevented from performing or is unable to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement (other than any payment obligation) due to any Act of God, fire, casualty, flood, earthquake, war, strike, lockout, epidemic, destruction of production facilities, riot, insurrection, material unavailability, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the party invoking this Section 13.2 (each a "Force Majeure Event"), and if such party shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its effects, such party shall give prompt written notice to the other party, and the time for the performance shall be extended for the period of delay or inability to perform due to such occurrences.
13.3 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution
This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to its principles of conflicts of laws, and without regard to the United Nations Convention on the Sale of Goods. Subject to the following arbitration requirements, the parties hereby agree that all litigation arising out of this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the federal and state courts within Dover, Delaware. The parties hereby consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of these courts. For any dispute in connection with this Agreement, the parties agree to first attempt to mutually resolve the dispute informally via negotiation. If the dispute has not been resolved after thirty (30) days, the parties agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach, by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. The arbitration will be conducted in Dover, Delaware, unless otherwise agreed. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator may include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 13.3 shall be deemed as preventing either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of its data security, intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights.
13.4 Relationship of the Parties
Nothing in this Agreement is to be construed as creating an agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between the parties hereto. Neither party shall have any right or authority to assume or create any obligations or to make any representations or warranties on behalf of any other party, whether express or implied, or to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever.
13.5 Publicity
Customer hereby grants to Codecov during the Subscription Term and for six (6) months following the expiration or termination of the Subscription Term, a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-sublicensable license to use Customer’s Marks in Codecov’s advertising, literature and websites for the purpose of identifying Customer as a current or former Codecov client or affiliate. This license shall include the right to use quotes from Customer’s Authorized Users regarding their satisfaction with Codecov and/or the Software. This license shall also include the right to perform a case study to determine and publicize how the Software improved Customer’s development. Customer shall have no right to use Codecov’s Marks.

13.8 Export Law Assurances
Customer understands that the Software is or may be subject to export control laws and regulations. CUSTOMER MAY NOT DOWNLOAD OR OTHERWISE EXPORT OR RE-EXPORT THE SOFTWARE OR ANY TECHNICAL OR OTHER DATA PROVIDED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH OR ANY UNDERLYING INFORMATION OR TECHNOLOGY EXCEPT IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS, IN PARTICULAR, BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION, UNITED STATES EXPORT CONTROL LAWS. NONE OF THE SOFTWARE OR ANY UNDERLYING INFORMATION OR TECHNOLOGY MAY BE DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE EXPORTED OR RE- EXPORTED: (A) INTO (OR TO A NATIONAL OR RESIDENT OF) ANY COUNTRY TO WHICH THE UNITED STATES HAS EMBARGOED GOODS; OR (B) TO ANYONE ON THE U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT’S LIST OF SPECIALLY DESIGNATED NATIONALS OR THE U.S. COMMERCE DEPARTMENT’S LIST OF PROHIBITED COUNTRIES OR DEBARRED OR DENIED PERSONS OR ENTITIES. CUSTOMER HEREBY AGREES TO THE FOREGOING AND REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT CUSTOMER IS NOT LOCATED IN, UNDER CONTROL OF, OR A NATIONAL OR RESIDENT OF ANY SUCH COUNTRY OR ON ANY SUCH LIST.
13.9 Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
13.10 Advice of Legal Counsel
Each party acknowledges and represents that, in executing this Agreement, it has had the opportunity to seek advice as to its legal rights from legal counsel and that the person signing on its behalf has read and understood all of the Terms. This Agreement shall not be construed against any party by reason of the drafting or preparation thereof.
13.11 Costs
If any action at law or in equity (including arbitration) is necessary to enforce or interpret the Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.
13.12 Entire Agreement; Modification; Waiver; Severability
This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, with respect to the matters covered by this Agreement, and is not intended to confer upon any third party any rights or remedies hereunder. Customer acknowledges that it has not entered in this Agreement based on any representations other than those contained herein. Codecov may, in its sole discretion and from time to time, modify these Terms to reflect changes to Applicable Laws or to the Software. Accordingly, Customer should review this page periodically. Customer’s continued use of the Software after any such change constitutes Customer’s acceptance of the new Terms. If Customer does not agree to any of these Terms or any future Terms, Customer will not use (or continue to use) the Software. Changes will not apply retroactively and will become effective no sooner than fourteen (14) days after they are posted. However, changes addressing new functions or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If Customer does not agree to the modified Terms, Customer should discontinue use of the Software. The waiver of one breach or default or any delay in exercising any rights shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable under Applicable Laws by a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall be replaced with the valid provision that most closely reflects the intent of the parties and the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
