5. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.β
5.1 Fees. If ordered, Professional Services will commence on a mutually agreed upon date. Estimates provided for Professional Services performed on a time-and-material basis are estimates only and not a guaranteed time of completion. Professional Services performed on a fixed fee basis are limited to the scope of services stated in the applicable Order.
5.2 Ownership of Deliverables. Professional Services do not constitute "works for hire," "works made in the course of duty," as determined under US law or similar terms under laws where the transfer of intellectual property occurs on the performance of services to a payor. Any report or deliverable arising from the Professional Services ("Deliverable") may include DoiT's findings, recommendations, and advisory information, subject to DoiT's ownership of the DoiT Materials. Subject to payment in full of the amounts due hereunder for the applicable Professional Services and to the extent the DoiT Materials are incorporated into the Deliverable(s), you shall have a perpetual, non-transferable (except as expressly provided in the Section entitled Assignment), non-exclusive license to use the DoiT Materials solely as a part of the Deliverable(s) for your Internal Use, and you may retain the copy of the Deliverable for Internal Use only (including without limitation, all your Confidential Information therein).

For the avoidance of doubt, the DoiT Materials do not include any Customer Data.
6. RESALE.β
DoiT makes available Resale Offerings to Customers. If applicable, such Resale Offerings shall be subject to the third party terms and conditions as specified at https://help.doit.com/docs/doit-terms ("CSP Terms") which may be updated by such third party ("Third Party CSP") from time to time. Customer acknowledges that the CSP Terms are solely managed by the Third Party CSP and that unless otherwise expressly agreed in an Order, all such CSP terms are exclusively between Customer and such Third Party CSP, not DoiT. Any dispute in connection with the CSP Terms or services shall be directly between you and such Third Party CSP. Pricing for Resale Offerings is subject to Third Party CSP pricing and discounting rates, including any programmatic updates thereto. DoiT reserves the right to adjust the pricing and discount of any Resale Offering on a proportional basis due to Third Party CSP pricing and discounting changes with 30 days' notice to the Customer following the change by the Third Party CSP. Resale Offerings may include use of DoiT Offerings, in which case these Master Terms and Conditions shall apply with respect to all such DoiT Offerings. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise agreed in writing, DoiT shall have no liability for Resale Offerings, and Customers sole recourse shall be with the Third Party CSP.

Recipient shall not use Discloser's Confidential Information for any purpose other than as set forth in this Agreement. Recipient shall take the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature and importance (but in no event less than reasonable care) to protect the confidentiality and avoid the unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of the Discloser's Confidential Information. Recipient shall provide written notification to Discloser promptly upon Recipient becoming aware of the unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of the Discloser's Confidential Information while in Recipient's control.
7.3 Exceptions. Recipient may disclose Discloser's Confidential Information: (i) to the extent required by applicable law or regulation; (ii) pursuant to a subpoena or order of a court or regulatory, self-regulatory, or legislative body of competent jurisdiction; (iii) in connection with any regulatory report, audit, or inquiry; or (iv) where requested by a regulator with jurisdiction over Recipient. In the event of such a requirement or request, Recipient shall, to the extent legally permitted: (a) give Discloser prompt written notice of such requirement or request prior to such disclosure; and (b) at Discloser's cost, a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the disclosure and request confidential treatment or a protective order pertaining thereto prior to Recipient making such disclosure. If the Recipient is legally required to disclose the Discloser's Confidential Information as part of: (x) a legal proceeding to which the Discloser is a party but the Recipient is not; or (y) a government or regulatory investigation of the Discloser, the Discloser shall pay all of the Recipient's reasonable and actual out of pocket legal fees and expenses (as evidenced by reasonably detailed invoices) and will reimburse the Recipient for its reasonable costs and fees of compiling and providing such Confidential Information, including, a reasonable hourly rate for time spent preparing for, and participating in, depositions and other testimony.
7.4 Destruction. Upon Discloser's written request, Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to destroy the Confidential Information and any copies or extracts thereof. However, Recipient, its Affiliates and their Representatives may retain any Confidential Information that: (i) they are required to keep for compliance purposes under a document retention policy or as required by applicable law, professional standards, a court, or regulatory agency; or (ii) have been created electronically pursuant to automatic or ordinary course archiving, back-up, security, or disaster recovery systems or procedures; provided, however, that any such retained information shall remain subject to this Agreement. Upon Discloser's request, Recipient will provide Discloser with written confirmation of destruction in compliance with this provision.
7.5 Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges that a breach of this Section 7 (Confidentiality) shall cause the other party irreparable injury and damage. Therefore, each party agrees that those breaches may be stopped through injunctive proceedings in addition to any other rights and remedies which may be available to the injured party at law or in equity without the posting of a bond.
7.6. Data Processing. To the extent that processing of personal data is necessary for the provision of the Offerings, all such processing will be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the DPA, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. Each Party shall comply with their respective obligations under any applicable data protection law, including all applicable machine learning and artificial intelligence laws.
7.7 Usage Data. DoiT may collect and analyze Usage Data, and DoiT may use Usage Data to maintain, improve, enhance, and promote DoiT's Services without restriction or obligation. However, DoiT may only disclose Usage Data to others if the Usage Data is aggregated and does not identify Customer or Users.
DoiT may copy, display, modify, and use Customer Data only as needed to provide and maintain the Offerings and related services. Customer is responsible for the accuracy and content of Customer Data.
7.8 Machine Learning. DoiT leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence in providing the Offerings to Customer, including for purposes of querying Customer Data and Usage Data. Such methods are used for improving visibility and the Offerings for Customer. Nothing in this section will reduce or limit DoiT's obligations regarding Personal Data that may be contained in Usage Data or Customer Data under Applicable Data Protection Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, the Customer Data and Usage Data refers to any data, information, or content provided by the customer, which could include data generated through the customer's interactions with DoiT Offerings. This data might encompass configuration settings, usage patterns, or other inputs that the customer provides while using an Offering. Such data not related to any other Customer's data and specifically excluding the Customer's data processed by a Resale Offering.
8. WARRANTIES & DISCLAIMER.β
8.1 No Warranty for Pre-Production Versions. Any pre-production feature or version of an Offering provided to Customer is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind and will not create any obligation for DoiT to continue to develop, productize, support, repair, offer for sale, or in any other way continue to provide or develop any such feature or Offering.

Termination or suspension of this Agreement or Customer's access to any Offerings will not relieve Customer of its obligations to pay any undisputed and outstanding fees. Sections 1, 2.2, 7, 10, 12, and 13 and all liabilities that accrue prior to termination shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.
