When providing Services, Camunda does not require access to Customer's information system resources and networks and will only access these if explicitly requested, approved and monitored by the Customer. Access to the Customer's information system resources and networks shall not include in cases of SaaS, accessing a Camunda-hosted cluster.
Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement or an Order Form, Camunda shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide Customer with any other services including, but not limited to customization, programming, integration, development of software programs, recovery of data, support of Customer-specific adaptations or add-on programs and program components, support of modifications, installation, training, and analysis or corrections of Errors (each as defined in Exhibit A) outside the Permitted Usage or the agreed upon SLA module or for any Components, which the Customer did not receive or which was made accessible to the Customer as part of the Software under the applicable Order Form.
5. Fee
Customer will pay all Fees annually in advance or as set forth in the Order Form. Customer's obligation to pay for the Subscription arises on the Start Date. Customer agrees to pay Camunda the Fees as set forth in the Order Form within thirty (30) days of Customer’s receipt of Camunda’s invoice (the “Payment Due Date”). Any amounts which are overdue will bear a late payment fee of the lower of one-point five percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate allowed by law, accruing from and including the Payment Due Date to and excluding the date of actual payment. Any late payment fee accruing under this Section will be immediately due and payable by Customer. All payments accrued or made under this Agreement are non-cancellable and non-refundable, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. All amounts payable to Camunda under this Agreement shall be paid by Customer in full without any set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, deduction, debit or withholding for any reason (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as may be required by applicable law).
All stated prices are exclusive of any taxes, fees, and duties or other amounts, however designated, and including without limitation value added tax, sales taxes and withholding taxes that are levied or based upon such charges, or upon this Agreement. Any applicable taxes including, but not limited to, withholding taxes, will be paid by Customer, or Customer will present an exemption certificate acceptable to the tax authorities. Despite the foregoing, Customer will not be liable for taxes imposed on Camunda based on Camunda’s income.
Camunda reserves the right to change its Fees for an ongoing Subscription; however, any changes Camunda makes will not apply to the Customer with respect to any contractually agreed Minimum Term.
The Parties agree that Customer may pay the Fees through a Third Party (“Paying Agent”) provided that Customer takes full responsibility for all acts or omissions of its Paying Agent. Where Customer pays the Fees through a Paying Agent, the Customer will conclude an Order Form with Camunda whereby the Order Form shows the Paying Agent as the "Bill to" party. Camunda will not be responsible for the obligations between any Paying Agent and Customer or for any Third-Party products or services furnished to Customer by the Paying Agent.

The Recipient or any of its Affiliates or the Representatives shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information if and to the extent they are required to do so by applicable law.

The Recipient shall furthermore indicate in the course of disclosure that, if this is the case, Trade Secrets are concerned and shall ensure that protections under applicable law are applied.
Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Recipient will return or destroy all copies of all Confidential Information of the Discloser in its possession or under its control upon request of the Discloser, provided that the Recipient shall not be required to return or destroy any Confidential Information if and to the extent that (i) it is required to retain such Confidential Information by law, regulation or court order, or (ii) such Confidential Information is automatically retained as part of a computer back-up, recovery or similar archival or disaster recovery system in accordance with internal record-keeping policies.

If Customer nevertheless transmits or shares or intends to transmit or share any other personal data of its employees or end customers, that require a data processing agreement (“DPA”) under the applicable law, it shall notify Camunda in advance so that the Parties can incorporate a DPA as an Exhibit to this Agreement based on https://legal.camunda.com/privacy-and-data-protection#data-processing-agreement or sign a separate DPA. In any event, Camunda will, taking into account the nature of the personal data and the risks involved in the processing of any such personal data, maintain reasonable and appropriate security measures, including technical and organizational safeguards designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of personal data.

For purposes of this indemnification section, Infringement Claim shall mean any claim, action or proceeding asserting that, during the applicable Subscription Term, any software program included in the Software to the extent licensed under this Agreement or copyrighted to Camunda infringes (a) a copyright or trade secret or (b) patent of any Third Party in a country that is a party to the Patent Cooperation Treaty.
Camunda shall have no obligation under the previous Section for: (i) any modification of the Software that is not performed by or on behalf of Camunda; (ii) the combination or use of the Software with any other products, services or equipment not provided by Camunda or part of the Software, where there would be no Infringement Claim but for such combination; (iii) Software not provided directly to Customer by Camunda; (iv) use of the applicable Software other than in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; or (v) the failure of Customer to use, within thirty (30) days of Customer's receipt of notice from Camunda regarding the availability of a new Version and that such new Version addresses an infringement issue, an update of the Software that would have avoided the Infringement Claim without a substantial loss of functionality.

The expiration or termination of this Agreement has no effect on the Subscriptions existing at the time of termination, which remain in force until the end of the then-current Subscription Term, provided that if the termination is as a result of a material breach by Customer, where, depending on the nature of the breach, it would be unreasonable to expect Camunda to continue to perform under such Subscriptions, Camunda may terminate any Subscriptions existing at the time of termination by written notice to Customer.
