In order to keep the subject matter of Online Courses current, Udacity reserves the right to make changes to the content of any Online Course at any time, in its sole discretion.
3.2 Enrollment in Online Courses.
a) Customer Selection of Students. Customer chooses which of its users may enroll as Students for a Course Subscription. Students must be identified by name and may be Customer’s employees or contractors designated by Customer. Each Course Subscription is limited by the number of concurrent Students specified in the applicable Order Form. No more than once per month per concurrent Student seat (unless otherwise expressly agreed by Udacity), Customer may transfer registration from a current Student to a different Student within the transfer period specified in the applicable Order Form by notifying Udacity in writing (or if available, via the administrative features of the Udacity Platform).
b) Registration Data. Customer must provide Udacity the name and email address of each Student (“Registration Data”). Udacity may use Registration Data in order to contact Students for the Online Course enrollment process. Customer is responsible for ensuring that it has obtained all necessary consents to provide Registration Data to Udacity for its use as authorized hereunder and that such use will not violate any applicable laws or regulations or agreements between Customer and such Students.
c) Udacity User Terms. Each Student must register with Udacity and agree to the Udacity User Terms in order to access and use an Online Course. Each Student’s continued participation in an Online Course is subject to compliance with the Udacity User Terms and any related completion requirements specified by Udacity.

a) Performance Data. Udacity will provide Customer with reports containing Performance Data regarding its Students in the format and with the frequency specified in the applicable Order Form (“Reports”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Udacity is not required to provide Performance Data to the extent Udacity reasonably determines that providing such data would violate any Udacity User Terms or an opt-out request from a particular Student. Customer may use Performance Data solely for its internal business purposes, but in any event, will immediately cease using Performance Data upon notice from Udacity that Udacity no longer has consent to such sharing.
b) Student Data. Udacity may use any Student Data in accordance with the Udacity User Terms. For clarity, Student Data is not considered Registration Data. Furthermore, Udacity has no obligation to provide, and Customer has no right to receive, any Student Data under the Agreement. For clarity, although Customer may receive Performance Data pursuant to Section 3.3(a) above that may relate to Students’ interaction with Online Courses, Customer has no right to receive Student Data in the form submitted by Students under the Agreement.
c) Student Sharing. Customer acknowledges that some interactions of Students with Online Courses may be public or shared with other enrollees in Online Courses. Customer is responsible for establishing its own policies (if any) with Students as to what information is appropriate to share as part of participation in an Online Course.
3.4 Third-Party Tools. Udacity may utilize Third-Party Tools (including, for example, Slack, GitHub or YouTube) to deliver elements of Online Courses. While using Third-Party Tools Students may be subject to such providers’ terms and conditions, and, in any event, Udacity is not responsible for the operation of, or any changes to, Third-Party Tools or the acts or omissions of Third-Party Tool providers.
4. CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS. Udacity’s provision of Online Courses is dependent on Customer identifying suitable Students and ensuring that such Students have sufficient time allocated in their schedules to complete Online Courses prior to the end of the applicable Course Subscription Term. Customer acknowledges that Udacity is not responsible for any Student not completing an Online Course during the applicable Course Subscription Term. Customer agrees to comply with any additional requirements related to Online Courses set forth in the applicable Order Form.
5. FEES AND PAYMENTS.
5.1. Fees. All fees are as set forth in the applicable Order Form and shall be paid by Customer within thirty (30) days of invoice, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form.

Customer is required to pay any sales, use, GST, value-added, withholding, or similar taxes or levies, whether domestic or foreign, other than taxes based on the income of Udacity. Any late payments shall be subject to a service charge equal to 1.5% per month of the amount due or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less.
5.2. Customer Purchase Orders. No provision of any Customer Purchase Order or other business form employed by Customer will supersede the terms and conditions of the Agreement, and any such document relating to the Agreement shall be for administrative purposes only and shall be void and with no legal effect. If an Order Form indicates that a Customer Purchase Order is required for Customer’s internal administrative purposes, Udacity will invoice and provision services the later of a) the Subscription Start Date, or b) upon receipt of Customer’s valid Purchase Order. If an Order Form indicates that a Customer Purchase Order is not required for Customer’s internal administrative purposes, Udacity will invoice upon the applicable Order Form Execution Date and provision services upon the applicable Subscription Start Date.
5.3. Late Purchase Orders. If a) the applicable Order Form indicates that a Purchase Order is required and the Customer Purchase Order is not provided within 60 days of the Order Form Execution Date, or b) Customer Purchase Order is determined to be invalid and not replaced with a valid Purchase Order within 60 days of such determination, or c) the applicable Order Form does not indicate that a Purchase Order is required but an invoice is rejected for lack of a Purchase Order and a valid Purchase Order is not received within 60 days from the date of such Order Form, Udacity may void the applicable Order Form.

The limited warranty set forth in this Section 7.1 shall not apply: (i) unless Customer makes a claim within thirty (30) days of the date on which Customer first noticed the non-conformity, or (ii) to access to Online Courses provided on a no-charge or evaluation basis.

9.4. Nature of Claims and Failure of Essential Purpose. The parties agree that the waivers and limitations specified in this Section 9 apply regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise and will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in the Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose.
10. INDEMNIFICATION. Udacity shall defend Customer from and against any claim by a third party alleging that an Online Course when used as authorized under the Agreement infringes a copyright or trademark and shall indemnify Customer from and against any damages and costs awarded against Customer or agreed in settlement by Udacity (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from such claim, provided that Udacity shall have received from Customer: (i) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for Udacity to respond without prejudice); (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense and settlement (if applicable) of such claim; and (iii) all reasonable necessary cooperation of Customer. If Customer’s use of an Online Course is (or in Udacity’s opinion is likely to be) enjoined, if required by settlement or if Udacity determines such actions are reasonably necessary to avoid material liability, Udacity may, in its sole discretion: (a) substitute substantially functionally similar products or services; (b) procure for Customer the right to continue using such Online Course; or if (a) and (b) are not commercially reasonable, (c) terminate the Agreement and refund to Customer the fees paid by Customer for the portion of the Online Course that was paid by Customer but not rendered by Udacity. The foregoing indemnification obligation of Udacity shall not apply: (1) if such Online Course is modified by any party other than Udacity, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such modification; (2) if such Online Course is combined with products or processes not provided by Udacity, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such combination; (3) to any unauthorized use of such Online Course; (4) to any action arising as a result of Third-Party Tools or any third-party deliverables or components contained within such Online Course; or (5) if Customer settles or makes any admissions with respect to a claim without Udacity’s prior written consent. THIS SECTION 10 SETS FORTH UDACITY’S AND ITS SUPPLIERS’ SOLE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT.
11. 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 Udacity Materials and the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information of Udacity 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 the Agreement. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors and other representatives having a legitimate need to know (including, for Udacity, the subcontractors referenced in Section 13.9), provided that such representatives are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective of the Disclosing Party than this Section 11 and that the Receiving Party remains responsible for compliance by any such representative with the terms of this Section 11. 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.
12. CO-MARKETING. At the request of Udacity, 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 use of Customer’s name and logo on Udacity’s web site and in Udacity promotional materials. Customer agrees that Udacity may disclose Customer as a customer of Udacity.
