We may share your Personal Information with any other person registered on your HEROIC account. You, individually or as the parent or legal guardian of a minor child you enroll or cause to be enrolled, expressly authorize HEROIC, its agents, and its employees to take any steps necessary to implement the Services, including, but not limited to, completing and executing any documents, communicating with third parties, and acting as a personal representative to the fullest extent permitted by law.

13. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

The party receiving Confidential Information hereunder agrees to take reasonable steps, at least substantially equivalent to the steps it takes to protect its own proprietary information, but not less than reasonable care, to prevent the unauthorized duplication or disclosure of the Confidential Information to third parties without the disclosing party’s prior written consent. The receiving party may disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information to the receiving party’s employees or agents who reasonably need to have access to such information to perform the receiving party’s obligations under this Agreement, and who will treat such Confidential Information under the terms of this Agreement. Provided that such Permitted Third Party is bound by obligations of confidentiality and nonuse no less restrictive than the terms of this Agreement, you may disclose our Confidential Information to a Permitted Third Party solely to the extent required for such Permitted Third Party to be able to access and use the Service pursuant to this Agreement. Also, we may disclose this Agreement to actual and potential investors and funding sources and their representatives, in each case who agree to hold it in confidence. The receiving party may disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information if required by law so long as the receiving party gives the disclosing party written notice of the requirement prior to the disclosure (where permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the disclosing party’s expense, in limiting disclosure or obtaining an order protecting the information from public disclosure.

Return of Materials and Effect of Termination. Upon written request of the disclosing party, or in any event upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, the receiving party will return to the disclosing party or destroy all materials, in any medium, to the extent containing or reflecting any of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information. Following expiration or termination of this Agreement, we may purge your Subscriber Data and your Service environment from our systems. The obligations in this Section 15 survive for three years following expiration or termination of this Agreement, except that Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret of the disclosing party will continue to be subject to the terms of this Section 15 for as long as such information remains a trade secret under applicable law.

Any purported assignment without such permission shall be void. Any waiver of our rights under these Service Terms must be in writing, signed by HEROIC, and any such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of any future breach of these Service Terms.

Your use of the Services shall at all times comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

These Service Terms, and all documents incorporated into these Service Terms by reference are the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this subject matter and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous or additional communications, negotiations, or agreements with respect thereto.

The proprietary rights, disclaimer of warranties, representations made by you, indemnities, limitations of liability and general provisions shall survive any termination of these Service Terms.

These Service Terms are solely and exclusively between you and HEROIC and you acknowledge and agree that (i) no third party, including a third-party partner of HEROIC is a party to these Service Terms, and (ii) no third party, including any third-party partner of HEROIC has any obligations or duties to you under these Service Terms.

Judgment upon the award rendered by an arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party will be entitled to receive from the other party its attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with any arbitration or litigation instituted in connection with this Agreement. The parties will maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits. This section does not prohibit either party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other equitable relief to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm, or to any action by us to collect amounts not paid to us when due.

Exercise or enforcement by either party of any right or remedy under this Agreement will not preclude the enforcement by the party of any other right or remedy under this Agreement or that the party is entitled by law to enforce. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change the terms of this Agreement on a going-forward basis at any time. Please check the terms of this Agreement periodically for changes.

19.17 Counterparts.
The Service Order may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, notwithstanding that the parties have not signed the same counterpart, with the same effect as if the parties had signed the same document. All counterparts will be construed as and constitute the same agreement. The Service Order may also be executed and delivered by facsimile or electronically and such execution and delivery will have the same force and effect of an original document with original signatures.

19.18 Entire Agreement.
This Agreement and all exhibits contain the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all previous communications, representations, understandings, and agreements, either oral or written, between the parties with respect to said subject matter, including any prior Nondisclosure Agreement between the parties or their Affiliates. If there is a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and a Service Order, the terms of the Service Order will control. No usage of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing between the parties will be used to modify, interpret, supplement, or alter the terms of this Agreement. Neither party will be bound by, and specifically objects to, any term, condition, or other provision that is different from or in addition to this Agreement (whether or not it would materially alter this Agreement) that is proffered by the other party in any acceptance, confirmation, invoice, purchase order, receipt, correspondence, or otherwise, unless each party mutually and expressly agrees to such provision in writing.
