Modifications to this Agreement: Atgenomix may modify the terms of this Agreement, including pricing and plans,
from time to time, with notice given to Customer by email or through the Service. Customer must notify Atgenomix
within thirty (30) days of notice of the modifications that Customer does not agree to such changes, and Atgenomix
(at its option and as Customer’s exclusive remedy) may either: (a) permit Customer to continue under the prior
version of this Agreement until expiration of the then-current Subscription Term (after which time the modified
Agreement will apply) or (b) allow Customer to terminate this Agreement and receive a pro-rated refund of any fees
Customer has pre-paid for use of the Service for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term.

Tools or any other third-party deliverables or components contained within the Service; (5) to the extent the alleged
infringement is not caused by the particular technology or implementation of the Service but instead by features
common to any similar product or service; or (6) if Customer settles or makes any admissions with respect to a claim
without Atgenomix’s prior written consent. THIS SECTION 14 SETS FORTH ATGENOMIX’S AND ITS SUPPLIERS’ SOLE LIABILITY
AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT.
15. Confidential Information
Each party (as "Receiving Party") agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical
and financial information it obtains from the disclosing party ("Disclosing Party") constitute
the confidential property of the Disclosing Party ("Confidential Information"), provided that
it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party
to be confidential or proprietary due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding
the disclosure. Any Atgenomix Technology, performance information relating to the Service, and the terms and conditions
of this Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information of Atgenomix without any marking or further designation.
Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will (1) hold in confidence and not disclose any
Confidential Information to third parties and (2) not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than
fulfilling its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement.
The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors and other
representatives having a legitimate need to know (including, for Atgenomix, the subcontractors referenced in Section 17.10),
provided that such representatives are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective of the Disclosing Party
than this Section 15 and that the Receiving Party remains responsible for compliance by any such representative
with the terms of this Section 15. The Receiving Party’s confidentiality obligations shall not apply to information
that the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the
Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii)
is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation;
or (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information.
The Receiving Party may make disclosures to the extent required by law or court order, provided the Receiving Party
notifies the Disclosing Party in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment.
The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for
which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving
Party the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other
remedies it might have at law.
16. Co-Marketing
At the request of Atgenomix, Customer agrees to the issuance of a joint press release ("Press Release")
on a mutually agreed upon date or the 90th day from the Effective Date, whichever is earlier. Each party will
have the right to approve the Press Release in advance, but such approval will not be unreasonably delayed or withheld.
Customer also agrees to participate in other reasonable marketing activities that promote the benefits of the Service
to other potential customers and to use of Customer’s name and logo on Atgenomix’s web site and in Atgenomix
promotional materials. Customer agrees that Atgenomix may disclose Customer as a customer of Atgenomix.

form will be deemed to supersede or modify any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
-
Entire Agreement.
This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and
supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements and communications relating to the subject
matter of this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that the Service is an online, subscription-based product,
and that in order to provide improved customer experience Atgenomix may make changes to the Service, and
Atgenomix will update the applicable Documentation accordingly. The Support described in Section 11 may be
updated from time to time upon reasonable notice to Customer to reflect process improvements or changing
practices (but the modifications will not materially decrease Atgenomix’s obligations as compared to those
reflected in such terms as of the Effective Date).
-
Force Majeure.
Neither party shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this
Agreement (except for a failure to pay fees) if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events that occur
after the signing of this Agreement and that are beyond the reasonable control of such party, such as a strike,
blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, failure or diminishment of power or telecommunications
or data networks or services, or refusal of a license by a government agency.
-
Subcontractors.
Atgenomix may use the services of subcontractors and permit them to exercise the rights granted to Atgenomix
in order to provide the Service under this Agreement, provided that Atgenomix remains responsible for (i)
compliance of any such subcontractor with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) for the overall performance
of the Service as required under this Agreement.
-
Subpoenas.
Nothing in this Agreement prevents Atgenomix from disclosing Customer Data to the extent required by law,
subpoenas, or court orders, but Atgenomix will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer
where permitted to do so.
-
Independent Contractors.
The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors. There is no relationship of partnership,
joint venture, employment, franchise or agency created hereby between the parties. Neither party will have
the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other party’s behalf without the other party’s
prior written consent.
-
Independent Development.
Subject to any obligations of confidentiality and to the parties’ respective IP Rights, in no event shall
either party be precluded or restricted from developing, using, marketing or providing for itself, or for
others, materials that are competitive with the products and services of the other party, irrespective of
their similarity to any products or services offered by the other party in connection with this Agreement.
Each party acknowledges that the other may already possess or have developed such materials. In addition,
each party shall be free to use its general knowledge, skills and experience, and any ideas, concepts,
know-how, and techniques within the scope of its business that are used or developed in the course of
undertaking this Agreement by such party, and each party shall remain free to provide products and services
to any client or prospective client, and to enter into to alliance, teaming or other arrangements with any
third party (including competitors of the other party), so long as the terms of this Agreement are not violated.
-
Export Control.
In its use of the Service, Customer agrees to comply with all export and import laws and regulations of the
Taiwan R.O.C and other applicable jurisdictions. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Customer represents

designated by the Taiwan government as a “terrorist supporting” country, (ii) Customer shall not (and shall
not permit any of its users to) access or use the Service in violation of any Taiwan export embargo, prohibition
