- Disclaimer. Customer Contractors are subject to the terms and conditions in the Agreement while they are using the Offerings on behalf of Customer and Customer remains responsible for their acts and omissions during such time. Any breach by a Customer Contractor of this Agreement is a breach by Customer. Sec1 may make available Customer Contractor Services to Customer, for example, through an online directory, catalog, store, or marketplace. Customer Contractor Services are not required for use of the Offerings. Offerings may contain features, including API’s, designed to interface with or provide data to Customer Contractor Services. Sec1 is not responsible or liable for any loss, costs or damages arising out of Customer Contractor’s actions or inactions in any manner, including but not limited to, for any disclosure, transfer, modification or deletion of Customer Data.

Estimates provided for Professional Services performed on a time-and-material basis are estimates only and not a guaranteed time of completion. Professional Services performed on a fixed fee basis are limited to the scope of services stated in the applicable Order.
- Ownership of Deliverables. Professional Services do not constitute “works for hire,” “works made in the course of duty,” or similar terms under laws where the transfer of intellectual property occurs on the performance of services to a payor. The only deliverable arising from the Professional Services is a report consisting primarily of Sec1’s findings, recommendations, and security information.

- Waiver, Severability & Amendments. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or any subsequent breach. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the parties, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement may only be amended, or any term or condition set forth herein waived, by written consent of both parties.
- Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for, nor shall either party be considered in breach of this Agreement due to, any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement (other than its payment obligations) as a result of a cause beyond its control, including but not limited to, act of God or a public enemy, act of any military, civil or regulatory authority, change in any law or regulation, fire, flood, earthquake, storm or other like event, disruption or outage of communications (including an upstream server block and Internet or other networked environment disruption or outage), power or other utility, labor problem, or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, which could not have been prevented with reasonable care.
- Notices. All legal notices will be given in writing to the addresses in the Order and will be effective: (i) when personally delivered, (ii) on the reported delivery date if sent by a recognized international or overnight courier, or (iii) five business days after being sent by registered or certified mail (or ten days for international mail). For clarity, Orders, POs, confirmations, invoices, and other documents relating to order processing and payment are not legal notices and may be delivered electronically in accordance with each party’s standard ordering procedures.
14. Dispute Resolution
- Informal Resolution. The parties agree that they will attempt to resolve any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement through good faith negotiations before resorting to litigation or other formal dispute resolution procedures.
- Arbitration. If the parties are unable to resolve any dispute through informal negotiations within 30 days, either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including its formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or Customer’s use of the Offerings shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered under its applicable rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
- Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language in Pune, India. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, unless the amount in controversy exceeds $250,000 USD, in which case the arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators. The arbitrator(s) shall be appointed in accordance with Arbitration body’s rules. The arbitrator(s) shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
- Exceptions to Arbitration. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Offerings, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.
