6. Confidentiality
6.1.

Conceal Confidential Information includes, without limitation: (i) the Software, Documentation, and Subscription Service, (ii) Fees and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Orders, (iii) all technology, information, designs, specifications, techniques, processes, procedures, research, data and know-how, whether in tangible or intangible form, whether designated as confidential or not, and whether or not stored, compiled or memorialized physically, electronically, graphically, photographically, or in writing; and (iv) the results of penetration tests, other security information, and third party audit reports and attestations.

A party shall not disclose or use any Confidential Information of the other party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, without the disclosing party’s prior written permission. A party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to its Affiliates and its and their employees, contractors, agents, that have signed an agreement containing disclosure and use provisions substantially similar to those set forth herein (or are otherwise bound by such obligations) and have a “need to know” in order to carry out the purpose of this Agreement. If a party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of the other party, it shall provide prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the other party’s cost, if the other party wishes to contest the disclosure. The obligations set forth in this section shall survive for five (5) years from expiration or termination of the Term.
6.3. Injunctive Relief. Due to the unique nature of the parties’ Confidential Information disclosed hereunder, there may be no adequate remedy at law for a party’s breach of its obligations hereunder, and any such breach may result in irreparable harm to the non-breaching party.

CONCEAL’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING BY STATUTE, CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY CUSTOMER TO CONCEAL OR A CONCEAL PARTNER UNDER THE ORDER FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE WHICH FORMS THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM DURING THE 12 MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE DO NOT APPLY TO EITHER PARTY’S WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR FRAUD, CUSTOMER’S BREACH OF CONCEAL’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATION TO PAY FEES OWED HEREUNDER, OR TO ANY CLAIM THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
