  4. Disclaimer. THE MATTERPORT DATASET IS PROVIDED “AS IS.” NEITHER MATTERPORT NOR FACEBOOK, INC. (“FACEBOOK”) MAKES ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND EACH OF MATTERPORT AND FACEBOOK EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS LICENSORS, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, NEITHER MATTERPORT NOR FACEBOOK MAKES ANY WARRANTY THAT THE MATTERPORT DATASET WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR FREE FROM INTERRUPTIONS OR OTHER FAILURES OR THAT THE MATTERPORT DATASET WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS. Some jurisdictions do not allow some of the foregoing exclusions or limitations, so some of these exclusions or limitations may not apply to You.

  5. Indemnification. Neither Matterport nor Facebook shall be obligated to indemnify, defend or hold You harmless with respect to any third-party claims arising out or relating to the Matterport Dataset, including without limitation any claims for intellectual property infringement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed an admission that any such claims may arise. You, at Your own expense, will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Matterport, Facebook, their respective corporate affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (each an “Indemnitee”) from and against any claim, demand, action, class action, investigation or other proceeding, including but not limited to all damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising therefrom (each a “Claim”), brought by any third party against an Indemnitee to the extent that such Claim is based on, or arises out of: (a) a breach, or potential breach, of any of Your obligations under this Agreement; (b) Your use of the Matterport Dataset, including Your use of any Matterport Dataset Derived Information that You may create; or (c) any alleged or actual fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of You or Your employees, subcontractors or agents. In the event of a claim in respect of which an Indemnitee seeks indemnification from You under this Section 5, the Indemnitee will promptly notify You in writing of the claim, cooperate with You in defending or settling the claim at Your expense, and allow You to control the defense and settlement of the claim, including the selection of attorneys; provided, however, that You shall not settle any claim unless such settlement completely and forever releases the Indemnitee from all liability with respect to such claim or unless the Indemnitee consents to such settlement in writing.

  6. Limitation of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (a) IN NO EVENT WILL MATTERPORT, FACEBOOK, THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE LICENSORS BE LIABLE, UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES; AND (b) IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF MATTERPORT, FACEBOOK, THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE LICENSORS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED $50. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY. You acknowledge and agree that the foregoing limitations of liability are essential elements of the bargain and that in the absence of such limitations, the financial and other terms of this Agreement would be substantially different. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations may not apply to You.

  7. Notice to United States Government End Users. If You are the U.S. Government or if You are a contractor or subcontractor (at any tier) of the U.S. Government and are licensing the Matterport Dataset for use by the U.S. Government or in connection with any contract or other transaction with the U.S. Government, You acknowledge that by installing and using the Matterport Dataset, the Matterport Dataset qualifies as commercial computer software and that any associated documentation qualifies as commercial computer software documentation within the meaning of the applicable acquisition regulations. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are fully applicable to the Government’s use and disclosure of the Matterport Dataset and associated documentation, and shall supersede any conflicting terms or conditions.

  8. Compliance with Law. You represent and warrant that: (a) You are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (b) You are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You may not export, re-export, import, or transfer the Matterport Dataset in violation of any applicable export laws or regulations, and You may not assist or facilitate others in doing any of the foregoing. You acknowledge that it is Your responsibility to comply with any and all applicable export and import laws.

  9. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of California without reference to its conflict of law provisions. Any litigation, suit or other proceeding regarding the rights or obligations of the parties hereunder shall be conducted exclusively before the state and federal courts in and for Santa Clara County, California, and the parties specifically consent to Santa Clara County, California, as the exclusive venue for any such proceeding. This Agreement shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded.

  10. Miscellaneous. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed to the extent necessary to make it enforceable so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. A waiver of any default is not a waiver of any subsequent default. You may not assign or otherwise transfer any of Your rights hereunder without Matterport’s prior written consent, and any such attempt is void. This Agreement is binding upon and is for the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto. The parties acknowledge and agree that a material breach of this Agreement adversely affecting Matterport’s proprietary rights would cause irreparable harm to Matterport for which a remedy at law would be inadequate and that Matterport shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law. This Agreement is the complete agreement between Matterport and You concerning Your use of the Matterport Dataset, and supersedes any and all prior agreements and representations between Matterport and You related to the same subject matter. Unless otherwise specified herein, all notices and other communications required or permitted to be given or made hereunder shall be in writing and: (a) if to Matterport, delivered personally or sent by pre-paid, first class certified or registered mail, return receipt requested or by overnight courier, to Matterport, Inc., 352 E. Java Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089, Attn: Legal Notices; or (b) if to You, by email or by pre-paid, first class certified or registered mail, return receipt requested or by overnight courier to Your mailing address. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in accordance with preliminary paragraphs hereof or set forth in a writing signed by a representative of Matterport and You, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein.
