For clarification purposes, ‘Confidential Information includes ‘Personal Data,’ Personally Identifiable Information, Personal Information or similar term as defined under applicable data protection law. Without limiting the foregoing, the Software and any performance data, benchmark results, and technical information relating thereto, the Documentation, PandaDoc’s pricing information and the terms and conditions of these Terms (but not its existence) shall be deemed the Confidential Information of PandaDoc.

11.2.Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information which:
i. is already or becomes known to the Receiving Party (defined below) prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party or independently of the Receiving Party’s knowledge of the Confidential Information and is not subject to an obligation of confidentiality;
ii. is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information;

The Receiving Party will not transfer or disclose any Confidential Information to any third party without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent and without such third party having a contractual obligation (consistent with this Section 11) to protect and keep such Confidential Information confidential. The Receiving Party agrees to treat all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in the same manner as it treats its own similar proprietary information, but in no case will the degree of care be less than reasonable care.

NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY PANDADOC AND/OR ITS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES WILL CREATE A WARRANTY.

12.3. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL PANDADOC, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, LICENSORS, AND/OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU AND/OR ANYONE ELSE FOR (I) ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL AND/OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING THOSE RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, DATA AND/OR PROFITS, WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, AND/OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, EVEN IF PANDADOC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE; AND/OR (II) ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, AND/OR THE LIKE (REGARDLESS OF THE SOURCE OF ORIGINATION). THE FOREGOING SHALL APPLY DESPITE ANY NEGLIGENCE, MISCONDUCT, ERRORS AND/OR OMISSIONS BY PANDADOC ITS EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES AND/OR AGENTS.

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will assist and cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses. You agree not to settle any matter without the prior written consent of PandaDoc. PandaDoc will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.
13.2. Waiver.

14. Miscellaneous
14.1. Applicable Law. To the extent International data protection laws apply to the processing of personal data between PandaDoc and Customer, the default Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) and attached Standard Contractual Clauses found at PandaDoc DPA are incorporated by reference and form a part of these Terms of Service, unless expressly provided otherwise in writing by both parties.
14.2. Entire Agreement; Conflict. Unless otherwise agreed to by PandaDoc and you in writing, the Terms (including, without limitation, the terms and conditions set forth herein and PandaDoc’s operating rules, policies and/or procedures as
described above) constitutes the entire agreement between PandaDoc and you concerning the subject matter hereof.
14.3. Governing Law. Except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise, these Terms and any access to or use of the Services will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., excluding its conflict of law provisions.
14.4. Arbitration. Except for claims for injunctive or equitable relief or claims regarding intellectual property rights (which may be brought in any competent court without the posting of a bond), any dispute arising under the Terms shall be finally settled in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with such Rules. The arbitration shall take place in the State of Delaware, in the English language and the arbitral decision may be enforced in any court. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding to enforce the Terms shall be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees. You can opt-out and decline these Terms to arbitrate by contacting PandaDoc within thirty (30) days from the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision (i.e.: the date you initially accepted the Terms).
(i) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and PandaDoc in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND PANDADOC WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
(ii) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS SECTION 14.4 MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. In the event that this Section is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead claims and disputes shall be resolved in a court located in the State of Delaware.
14.5. Severability. If any part of the Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that part will be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of the Terms and/or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term and/or condition or any subsequent breach thereof.
14.6. Assignment. You may not assign your rights under the Terms to any other party without PandaDoc’s express prior written consent; PandaDoc may assign its rights under the Terms without condition. The Terms will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
14.7. Force Majeure. Neither PandaDoc nor Customer will be liable by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations on account of events beyond the reasonable control of a party, which may include denial-of-service attacks, a failure by a third-party hosting provider or utility provider, shortages, riots, pandemics, fires, acts of God, war, strikes, terrorism, and governmental action.
14.8. Survival. All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, licenses of User Content, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity provisions and limitations of liability.
14.9. No Waiver. No waiver by either you and/or PandaDoc of any breach and/or default and/or failure to exercise any right allowed under the Terms is a waiver of any preceding and/or subsequent breach and/or default and/or a waiver and/or forfeiture of any similar and/or future rights under the Terms.
Please note that PandaDoc does not accept red lines or changes to these Terms.
