Customer will make all payments of Fees to Rentable free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes; any such taxes imposed on payments of Fees to Rentable will be Customer’s sole responsibility, and Customer will provide Rentable with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as Rentable may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.
4.4 Interest. Any amounts not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum legal rate if less, from the due date until paid.

Customer represents and warrants that it has or will obtain all third party licenses, consents and permissions needed for Rentable to collect, access, use, and otherwise process the Customer Data to provide the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer will be solely responsible for providing all notices to, and obtaining from, third parties, all necessary rights and consents for Rentable to use the Customer Data for the purposes set forth in this Agreement. Customer grants Rentable the right to scrape or otherwise collect Customer Data from Customer’s websites, solely as necessary to provide the Services, including to improve the Services.

Customer further represents and warrants that it will not use the Services, or any outputs or insights generated from use thereof, in violation of any law, rule or regulation. Rentable is not obligated to back up any Customer Data; the Customer is solely responsible for creating backup copies of any Customer Data at Customer’s sole cost and expense. Customer agrees that any use of the ApartmentIQ Platform contrary to or in violation of the representations and warranties of Customer in this Section 5.2 (Customer Warranty) constitutes unauthorized and improper use of the ApartmentIQ Platform. Customer agrees to provide Rentable with such information, access and cooperation as Rentable may reasonably require from time to time for Rentable to deliver and provide the Services.
5.3 Customer Responsibility for Data and Security. Customer and its Authorized Users will have access to the Customer Data and will be responsible for all changes to and/or deletions of Customer Data and the security of all passwords and other Access Protocols required in order to access the ApartmentIQ Platform. Customer will have the ability to export its own Customer Data and the Reports out of the ApartmentIQ Platform and is encouraged to make its own back-ups of the Customer Data.

Customer acknowledges that Customer’s cooperation, provision of complete and accurate Customer Data, and performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement or specified in an Order Form are essential to the performance of any Services, and that Rentable will not be liable for any deficiency in performing Services if such deficiency results from Customer’s failure to provide the foregoing.
6. WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS.
6.1 Limited Warranty. Rentable represents and warrants that it will provide the Services and perform its other obligations under this Agreement in a professional and workmanlike manner substantially consistent with general industry standards. Provided that Customer notifies Rentable in writing of the breach within thirty (30) days following performance of the defective Services, specifying the breach in reasonable detail, Rentable will, as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, for any breach of the foregoing, re-perform the Services which gave rise to the breach or, at Rentable’s option, refund the fees paid by Customer for the Services which gave rise to the breach.
6.2 Disclaimer. THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.1 (LIMITED WARRANTY) IS MADE FOR THE BENEFIT OF CUSTOMER ONLY. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 6 (WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS), AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES, REPORTS, AND DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND RENTABLE MAKES NO (AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL) OTHER WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, OR CONDITIONS, WHETHER WRITTEN, ORAL, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, COURSE OF DEALING, TRADE USAGE OR PRACTICE, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, DATA ACCURACY, MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

6.3 Third-Party Data. Customer acknowledges and understands that access to and use of the Platform and/or Services depends in part on access to data provided by third-party sources (“Third Party Data”) to create the results and insights derived from the Third Party Data and included in the Services. The parties acknowledge and agree that Third Party Data may be derived from historical data that may be outdated and no longer accurate at the time of use. Rentable is not responsible for the accuracy, quality, currency, or completeness of the Third Party Data and makes no representations or warranties regarding the Third Party Data. The parties acknowledge and agree that the accuracy of the Reports are dependent on the accuracy and completeness of the Third Party Data. In addition, Rentable cannot guarantee the Third Party Data will always be available. If a source of Third Party Data becomes unavailable or Rentable’s access to such source is terminated by the third-party service provider, then the Third Party Data will no longer be available to be analyzed and the Reports will be affected accordingly.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
7.1 Types of Damages.

8. CONFIDENTIALITY.
8.1 Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means any nonpublic information of a party (the “Disclosing Party”), whether disclosed orally or in written or digital media, that is identified as “confidential” or with a similar legend at the time of such disclosure or that the receiving party (the “Receiving Party”) knows or should have known is the confidential or proprietary information of the Disclosing Party.

In addition, the Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that it protects its own proprietary information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than reasonable care. At the Disclosing Party’s request or upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Receiving Party will return to the Disclosing Party or destroy (or permanently erase in the case of electronic files) all copies of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party does not have a continuing right to use under this Agreement, and the Receiving Party will, upon request, certify to the Disclosing Party its compliance with this sentence.

In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is necessary for the Receiving Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement or is required by law or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body, provided that (to the extent legally permissible) the Receiving Party promptly notifies the Disclosing Party in writing of such required disclosure and cooperates with the Disclosing Party if the Disclosing Party seeks an appropriate protective order.
9. INDEMNIFICATION.
9.1 By Rentable. Rentable will defend at its expense any suit brought against Customer, and will pay any settlement Rentable makes or approves, or any damages finally awarded in such suit, insofar as such suit is based on a claim by any third party alleging that the ApartmentIQ Platform infringes such third party’s patents, copyrights or trade secret rights under applicable laws of any jurisdiction within the United States of America.

This section states the sole and exclusive remedy of Rentable and the entire liability of Customer, or any of the officers, directors, employees, shareholders, contractors or representatives of the foregoing, for the claims and actions described herein.
