5. CONFIDENTIALITY
5.1. Obligations. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that any documentation relating to the Software, and any other information (if such other information is identified as confidential or should be recognized as confidential under the circumstances) provided to Licensee by Rigado hereunder (collectively, "Confidential Information") constitute the confidential and proprietary information of Rigado, and that Licensee's protection thereof is an essential condition to Licensee's use and possession of the Software. Licensee shall retain all Confidential Information in strict confidence and not disclose it to any third party or use it in any way except as required to comply with law or an binding order of a court of governmental authority with the authority to require disclosure or under a written agreement with terms and conditions at least as protective as the terms of this Section. Licensee will exercise at least the same amount of diligence in preserving the secrecy of the Confidential Information as it uses in preserving the secrecy of its own most valuable confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable diligence. Information shall not be considered Confidential Information if and to the extent that it: (i) was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed or has entered the public domain through no fault of Licensee; (ii) was known to Licensee, without restriction, at the time of disclosure as proven by the files of Licensee in existence at the time of disclosure; or (iii) was developed by or for Licensee without use of or access to Rigado’s Confidential Information or violation of this Agreement or (iv) becomes known to Licensee, without restriction, from a source other than Rigado without breach of this Agreement by Licensee and otherwise not in violation of Rigado's rights.

5.2. Return of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all documents and other tangible objects containing or representing Rigado Confidential Information and all copies thereof which are in the possession of Licensee shall be and remain the property of Rigado, and shall be promptly returned to Rigado upon written request by Rigado or upon termination of this Agreement.

6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES 6.1. Limitation of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL RIGADO OR ANY OF RIGADO’S LICENSORS HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL RIGADO’S LIABILITY WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY LICENSEE FOR SOFTWARE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.

6.2. Liquidated Damages. The parties agree that, in the event of a breach of the terms of this Agreement by Licensee, including but not limited to those terms regarding reverse engineering, violation of regulations, dangerous use, and confidentiality, Rigado’s damages will be difficult to prove. Licensee agrees that damages of $5 per Rigado Module is a reasonable estimate of the likely damages and Licensee agrees that it shall pay such amount promptly upon the occurrence of such breach.

7. INDEMNIFICATION Licensee agrees to defend and indemnify Rigado and its licensors from and against any damages, costs, liabilities, settlement amounts and/or expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any claim, lawsuit or action by any third party that arises or results from the unauthorized or uncontemplated use or distribution of any and all Software by the Licensee.

8. MISCELLANEOUS 8.1. Export Regulations. LICENSEE UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE SOFTWARE IS SUBJECT TO UNITED STATES AND OTHER APPLICABLE EXPORT- RELATED LAWS AND REGULATIONS AND THAT LICENSEE MAY NOT EXPORT, RE- EXPORT OR TRANSFER THE SOFTWARE OR ANY DIRECT PRODUCT OF THE SOFTWARE EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THOSE LAWS.

8.2 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, provided, however that Licensee may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligation hereunder, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Rigado, and any such attempted assignment shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may assign this Agreement to a successor to all or substantially all of its business or assets to which this Agreement relates that will not use the rights hereunder in direct competition with of Rigado.

8.3. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Oregon without regard to any conflict-of-laws rules, and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is hereby excluded. The sole jurisdiction and venue for actions related to the subject matter hereof shall be the state and federal courts located in the county of Marion, Oregon, and Licensee hereby consents to such jurisdiction and venue.

8.4. Severability. All terms and provisions of this Agreement shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which makes them valid, but in the event any term or provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected if the illegal or unenforceable provision does not materially affect the intent of this Agreement. If the illegal or unenforceable provision materially affects the intent of the parties to this Agreement, this Agreement shall become terminated.

8.5. Equitable Relief. Licensee hereby acknowledges that its breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm and significant injury to Rigado that may be difficult to ascertain and that a remedy at law would be inadequate. Accordingly, Licensee agrees that Rigado shall have the right to seek and obtain immediate injunctive relief to enforce obligations under the Agreement in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have.

8.6. Waiver. The waiver of, or failure to enforce, any breach or default hereunder shall not constitute the waiver of any other or subsequent breach or default.

8.7. Updates to this License. Rigado reserves the right to alter or amend this Agreement at anytime, in its sole discretion. Rigado shall provide notice of any changes 30 days prior to such change, by email or mail to Licensee or by posting a new version of this Agreement on its website at http://Rigado.com.
