The Customer is responsible for ensuring that its Users safeguard their login credentials and promptly notify SecureCodingHub of any unauthorized access or security breach.

Definition.

Confidential Information includes, without limitation, business plans, technical data, product roadmaps, customer lists, pricing information, and the terms of any order form or subscription agreement.

Obligations. The Receiving Party agrees to: (a) hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence; (b) not disclose Confidential Information to any third party except to its employees, agents, or contractors who have a need to know and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those set forth herein; and (c) use Confidential Information solely for the purpose of fulfilling its obligations or exercising its rights under these Terms.

Duration. The confidentiality obligations set forth in this section shall survive the termination or expiration of these Terms for a period of three (3) years, except with respect to trade secrets, which shall be protected for as long as they retain their trade secret status under applicable law.

Uptime Commitment. SecureCodingHub targets a service availability of 99.9% measured on a monthly basis, excluding scheduled maintenance windows and force majeure events ("Uptime SLA"). Uptime is calculated as the percentage of total minutes in a calendar month during which the Platform is operational and accessible.

Scheduled Maintenance. SecureCodingHub may perform scheduled maintenance during off-peak hours (typically Sundays 02:00-06:00 UTC). Customers will receive at least seventy-two (72) hours' advance notice of any scheduled maintenance expected to result in service downtime. Scheduled maintenance windows are excluded from Uptime SLA calculations.

Incident Response. In the event of an unplanned service disruption, SecureCodingHub will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore service availability promptly. Customers may monitor the status of the Platform through the designated status page and will receive email notifications for incidents affecting service availability.

Service Credits. If SecureCodingHub fails to meet the Uptime SLA in any given calendar month, the Customer may be eligible for service credits as set forth in the applicable service level agreement or order form. Service credit requests must be submitted within thirty (30) days of the end of the affected month.

Exclusions. The Uptime SLA does not apply to: (a) features designated as alpha or beta; (b) outages caused by factors outside SecureCodingHub's reasonable control, including internet connectivity issues, Customer equipment failures, or force majeure events; (c) outages resulting from the Customer's or its Users' actions or inactions; or (d) outages during scheduled maintenance windows.

Exclusion of Consequential Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, GOODWILL, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Cap on Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID OR PAYABLE BY THE CUSTOMER TO SECURECODINGHUB DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Exceptions. The limitations set forth in this section shall not apply to: (a) either party's indemnification obligations; (b) either party's breach of confidentiality obligations; (c) the Customer's payment obligations; (d) claims arising from a party's willful misconduct or gross negligence; or (e) liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

Basis of the Bargain. The parties acknowledge that the limitations of liability set forth in this section reflect a fair and reasonable allocation of risk between the parties and form an essential basis of the bargain between them. The Platform would not be provided without these limitations.

Indemnification by SecureCodingHub. SecureCodingHub shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Customer and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claims, actions, suits, or proceedings alleging that the Customer's authorized use of the Platform infringes or misappropriates such third party's intellectual property rights, and shall pay all damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) finally awarded against the Customer or agreed to in settlement by SecureCodingHub with respect to such claim.

Indemnification by Customer. The Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SecureCodingHub and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claims, actions, suits, or proceedings arising from or related to: (a) the Customer's or its Users' violation of these Terms, including the Acceptable Use provisions; (b) the Customer's or its Users' use of the Platform in a manner not authorized by these Terms or applicable law; or (c) Customer Data that infringes or misappropriates the rights of a third party.

Indemnification Procedure. The indemnified party shall: (a) promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of any claim for which indemnification is sought; (b) grant the indemnifying party sole control over the defense and settlement of the claim; and (c) provide reasonable cooperation and assistance at the indemnifying party's expense. Failure to provide timely notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the defense.

Sole Remedy. This section states the indemnifying party's sole liability and the indemnified party's sole and exclusive remedy for any third-party claims described herein.

Termination for Convenience. Either party may terminate the Subscription by providing the other party with at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice before the end of the then-current Subscription term. Early termination by the Customer during an active Subscription term does not entitle the Customer to a refund of prepaid Fees.

Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate these Terms immediately upon written notice if the other party: (a) materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice of the breach; or (b) becomes insolvent, files for bankruptcy, or has a receiver or trustee appointed for a substantial part of its assets.

Effect of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of the Subscription: (a) all User access to the Platform shall be immediately discontinued; (b) the Customer's right to use the Platform and its Content shall cease; and (c) each party shall return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession, except as required by law or regulation.

Data Export. Following termination or expiration, SecureCodingHub will make Customer Data available for export for a period of thirty (30) days. The Customer may request a full export of its data in a standard machine-readable format (e.g., CSV or JSON) during this period. After the thirty (30) day export period, SecureCodingHub shall delete all Customer Data from its active systems, subject to any legal retention requirements.

Survival. The following sections shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms: Definitions, Intellectual Property, Confidentiality, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law, and any provisions that by their nature are intended to survive.

Applicable Law. These Terms and any disputes arising out of or related to these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

Jurisdiction. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in New Castle County, Delaware for the adjudication of any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms. Each party waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

Dispute Resolution. Prior to initiating any legal proceedings, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation for a period of not less than thirty (30) days. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute through negotiation, either party may pursue legal remedies as set forth herein.

Equitable Relief. Nothing in this section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending the resolution of a dispute.

Right to Modify. SecureCodingHub reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where applicable, update the version number of these Terms.

Notice of Material Changes. For material changes that substantively affect the rights or obligations of the Customer, SecureCodingHub will provide at least thirty (30) days' advance written notice to the Customer's designated Administrator via email before the changes take effect. Material changes include, but are not limited to, changes to pricing, liability limitations, data processing practices, and service level commitments.

Acceptance. The Customer's continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If the Customer does not agree with the modified Terms, the Customer must notify SecureCodingHub in writing within the thirty (30) day notice period, and the previous version of the Terms shall continue to apply until the end of the then-current Subscription term, after which the updated Terms shall govern any renewal.
