If Ktech is required by law to make any disclosure of the Confidential Information that is prohibited or otherwise constrained by this Agreement, then Ktech will provide Subscriber with prompt written notice (to the extent permitted by law) prior to such disclosure so that the Subscriber may seek a protective order or other appropriate relief. Subject to the foregoing sentence, Ktech may furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information that it is legally compelled or otherwise legally required to disclose.
8. Managed Backup and Archiving
8.1 Ktech’s managed backup services must be designed to facilitate restoration of Content to the server or device from which the Content originated in the event the primary data is lost or corrupted. Ktech shall ensure recovery of lost or corrupted Content at no cost to you. Following any cancellation or termination of Service for any reason, Subscriber shall have ninety days to retrieve any and all Content.
9. Payment, Refunds and Subscription Changes
9.1 Subscribers with paid subscriptions will provide Ktech with a valid credit card for payment of the applicable subscription fees. All subscription fees are exclusive of all federal, state, provincial, municipal or other taxes which Subscribers agree to pay based on where the Subscriber is primarily domiciled. In addition to any fees, the Subscriber may still incur charges incidental to using the Service, for example, charges for Internet access, data roaming, and other data transmission charges.
9.2 Subscribers with monthly paying subscriptions will be charged upon the expiration of any applicable free trial period. Subscriptions canceled prior to the expiration of any trial period, will not be charged. Monthly Subscribers will thereafter be charged in advance each 30 days. Annual Subscribers will thereafter be charged annually on the anniversary date of the initial subscription charge. All charges are final and non-refundable, including payments made by Annual Subscribers.

9.4 There are no charges for canceling a subscription, and paying subscriptions cancelled prior to the end of their current billing cycle will not be charged again in the following cycle.
9.5 The amount charged on the next billing cycle will be automatically updated to reflect any changes to the subscription, including upgrades or downgrades. Subscription changes, including downgrades, may result in loss of access to Content, features, or an increase or reduction in the amount of available capacity for Content provided by the Service.
9.6 All prices are subject to change upon notice. Such notice may be provided by an e-mail message to the Administrator, or in the form of an announcement on the Service.
9.7 For Subscribers using the Service’s “Campaign Tracker” feature: Payment for Call Minutes. You agree to pay for all per line and per-minute telephone connection fees (“Call Minute Fees”) or other usage fees for other services that Ktech may make available, as billed. In addition, Subscriber authorizes Ktech to charge your valid credit card for all charges incurred.
9.8 Subscriber is responsible for paying all taxes associated with the subscription to the Service. If Ktech has the legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which Subscriber is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Subscriber, unless Subscriber provides Ktech with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
9.9 Any and all payments by or on account of the compensation payable under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any taxes. If the Subscriber is required to deduct or withhold any taxes from such payments, then the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions or withholdings, Ktech receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
10. Cancellation and Termination
10.1 Administrators are solely responsible for canceling subscriptions. An Administrator may cancel their subscription at any time by submission of a support ticket. For security reasons, cancellations shall only be performed by an Administrator using the account cancellation URL within the Service. The Administrator may be directed, within the Service, to call support to complete the cancellation. Cancellations shall not be accepted by any other means.
10.2 Ktech in its sole discretion has the right to suspend or discontinue providing the Service to any Subscriber without notice for actions that are (a) in material violation of this Agreement and (b) create a Security Emergency.
10.3 If (i) Authorized Users use the Service to materially violate this Agreement in a way that does not create a Security Emergency; (ii) Ktech provides Subscriber with commercially reasonable notice of this violation; (iii) Ktech uses commercially reasonable efforts to discuss and resolve the violation with Subscriber; and (iv) despite the foregoing, the violation is not resolved to Ktech’s reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days of such notice, then Ktech reserves the right to suspend access to the Service.
10.4 As required by Section 8 above (“Managed Backup and Archiving”), upon cancellation or termination of a subscription, Content is made available to the Administrator or a designated Authorized User. Following a period of no less than ninety (90) days from the cancellation or termination of a subscription, all Content associated with such subscription will be irrevocably deleted from the Service. All Escrowed Data, if any, will continue to remain available for a period of six months upon cancellation or termination of a subscription in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
11. Limitation of Liability
11.1 Except in the case of a violation by Ktech of its obligations under Section 4 above (“Confidentiality”), Section 5 above (“Security and Access”), and Section 8 above (“Managed Backup and Archiving”), and except as provided in Section 13.2 below (“Indemnification”), Ktech shall not be liable for and Subscriber waives the right to claim any loss, injury, claim, liability or damage of any kind resulting in any way from the Services provided to Subscriber by Ktech.
11.2 SUBSCRIBER AGREES THAT THE LIABILITY OF KTECH ARISING OUT OF ANY CLAIM IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID FOR THE SERVICE PURSUANT TO THE AGREEMENT WITHIN THE SIX MONTH PERIOD BEFORE THE DATE THE CLAIM AROSE. SUBSCRIBER FURTHER AGREES THAT KTECH IS NOT AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEY FEES) RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. THESE DISCLAIMERS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER THOSE DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER KTECH HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES. THESE DISCLAIMERS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION SET FORTH IN SECTION 13.2. EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS OF THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICING OFFERED BY KTECH TO SUBSCRIBER AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE FROM AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
11.3 Subscriber will solely be responsible for any damage and/or loss of Content contained in Subscriber’s technology which occurs as a result of Subscriber’s electronic equipment and/or Subscriber’s computer system.
12. Disclaimer of Warranties

13.2 Ktech shall defend, indemnify and hold Subscriber harmless against any loss, damage or costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with claims, demands, suits, or proceedings (“Claims”) made or brought against Subscriber by a third party
a. alleging that the Service, or use of the Service as contemplated hereunder, infringes a copyright, a U.S. patent issued as of the date of final execution of this Agreement, or a trademark of a third party or involves the misappropriation of any trade secret of a third party; provided, however, that Subscriber:

Ktech shall not be required to indemnify Subscriber in the event of: (x) modification of the Service by Subscriber in conflict with Subscriber’s obligations or as a result of any prohibited activity as set forth herein to the extent that the infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred but for such modification; (y) use of the Service in combination with any other product or service not provided by Ktech to the extent that the infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred but for such use; or (z) use of the Service in a manner not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement to the extent that the infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred but for such use; or

Ktech will make reasonable efforts to provide notice to Subscriber prior to such access and transfer. Ktech’ actions will comply with its obligations under Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement.
