7.6. No License. Camera Bits retains its entire right, title, and interest in and to all Confidential Information, and no disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder will be construed as a license, assignment or other transfer of any such right, title, and interest to Licensee or any other person.
7.7. Remedies. Licensee acknowledges that breach of this paragraph will cause irreparable harm to Camera Bits and, in that event, in addition to other remedies provided by applicable law, Camera Bits will be entitled to immediately seek a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction enforcing this agreement.
8.0 Indemnification.
8.1. By Licensee. Licensee will indemnify and defend Camera Bits and its officers, directors, employees and agents and their successors and assigns from any loss, liability, cost or expense (including legal fees and costs) (“Losses”) directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with any claim, suit, or proceeding (“Claim”) by a nonparty to the extent arising out of or related to any: (i) breach of this Agreement; (ii) infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any person’s intellectual property right; (iii) fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by Licensee; (iv) violation of Applicable Law by Licensee; or (v) bodily injury, death or damage to property caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Licensee, including its employees or agents.

Camera Bits will indemnify and defend Licensee and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents from and against all Losses arising out of any claim by a nonparty to the extent it is based on or arising from any: (i) fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by Camera Bits; (ii) violation of Applicable Law by Camera Bits; or (iii) claim that the Software or Technical Documentation, or any use of the Software or Documentation in accordance with this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates such third party’s U.S. intellectual property rights, provided that Licensee promptly notifies Camera Bits in writing of the claim, cooperates with Camera Bits, and allows Camera Bits sole authority to control the defense and settlement of such claim.
(i) If such a claim under Section 8.2(iii) is made or appears possible, Licensee agrees to permit Camera Bits, at Camera Bits’ sole discretion, to (A) modify or replace the Software or Technical Documentation, to make it non-infringing, or (B) obtain the right for Licensee to continue use. If Camera Bits determines that none of these alternatives is reasonably available, Camera Bits may terminate this Agreement, in its entirety or with respect to the affected component or part, effective immediately on written notice to Licensee and refund any prepaid amounts to Licensee promptly after such termination. THIS SECTION 8.2 SETS FORTH LICENSEE’S SOLE REMEDIES AND CAMERA BITS’ SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THE SOFTWARE OR TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION INFRINGES, MISAPPROPRIATES, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATES ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

9.2. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY’S AGGREGATE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AGGREGATE CONTRACT VALUE FOR THE ONE (1) YEAR PERIOD PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT SUCH LIABILITY FIRST ARISES.
10.0 Miscellaneous.
10.1. Disputes. The rights and liabilities of the parties arising out of or relating to this agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, exclusive of choice of law remedies. Any litigation between the parties will be conducted exclusively in state or federal courts in Multnomah County, Oregon.

10.2. Commercial Item. The Software and any accompanying Technical Documentation and related software were developed by Camera Bits and its suppliers at private expense and are deemed to be a “commercial item,” as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212. Use, duplication, and disclosure by civilian agencies of the U.S. Government will be in accordance with FAR 52.227-19(c) or other agency data rights provisions, as may be applicable.

If any term or provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
10.5. Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement including all Order Forms and exhibits, constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings of the parties. No modification, change, amendment, or any waiver of rights with respect to this Agreement will be binding unless in writing signed by both parties. No waiver of any violation or nonperformance of this agreement in one instance will be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent violation or nonperformance. In the case of any conflict between this Agreement and any Order Form, the terms of the Order Form will control, but only with respect to that particular Order Form and only if the Order Form references the provision of this Agreement that the Order Form intends to supersede.
