    How and when does this privacy policy apply?

    This privacy policy applies to the collection and use of your personal information in connection with the Services and any other interactions that you have with Lupl, Inc. (e.g. support queries and other communications) to the extent that Lupl is acting as a controller of that information – see ‘What role(s) does Lupl have in the processing of personal information?’.

    You are free to say no to the processing of your personal information as described in this privacy policy. However, the services provided through the Lupl application (“Services”) do require personal information in order to work or for you to have access, and if you choose not to provide certain personal information you and your organization won’t be able to use the Services in question.

    What about other apps and integrations?

    Lupl allows you to “bring your own system”. This means you and other users can integrate Lupl with certain third party systems and services. This privacy policy does not apply to those third party systems and services (or indeed to any other third party products, services or organizations), which we refer to together as ‘Third Party Systems’. You should check the privacy policies of those Third Party Systems (including any updates to them) to understand more about who those third parties are and how and why they process personal information. You can explore the Third Party Systems currently supported by Lupl for your organization within the Lupl Platform.

    What about your organization?

    If you use the Services on behalf of or via your organization or their systems, your organization may be able to control, monitor and administer all or any part of your use of the Services, including access by you or others within your organization, certain privacy-related settings, and integrations with Third Party Systems. Your organization may also be able to access and process your data, including interaction data, metadata and the contents of your communications associated with your use of the Services. If you no longer have access to the work account you use to access the Services, you might lose access to the relevant Services. Lupl isn’t in control of or responsible for the privacy policies and practices of your organization. In relation to your use of the Services on behalf of or via your organization or their systems, your organization is required to make you aware of their policies and practices that they have, and you should contact them for details.

    Who is the controller and who is the processor?

    Data protection law in some countries draws a distinction between the “controller” and “processor” of personal information. Other countries might use similar terms like “organization” (instead of controller) and “intermediary” (instead of processor), but we use controller and processor for consistency.

     

    The “controller” is the main decision-maker which exercises overall control over the purposes and means of the processing of personal information. The processor acts on behalf of, and only on the instructions of, the relevant controller.

     

    Lupl is generally a data controller with respect to the processing of your profile information (e.g. name, email address, etc.) to enable us to provide you with an account and provide the Services to you (see below ‘What personal information do we collect?’).

     

    In all other cases, Lupl generally acts as processor of personal information on behalf of the persons and organizations using the Lupl Platform. For example, if you or someone in your organization creates a matter on the Lupl Platform (i.e. the “Matter Owner”), you are in control of that matter and of the personal information of that matter, and Lupl simply processes any personal information associated with that matter on behalf of you or your organization. You can find out who is the Matter Owner for a given matter on the Lupl Platform by looking at the People tab.

     

    Our subsidiaries, C-Cubed Innovations (UK) Limited and C-Cubed Innovations (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. are also joint controllers with Lupl in respect of providing local/regional support services, such as marketing, onboarding and customer success. This privacy policy is intended to also cover these entities to the extent that you do business with or interact with them, and when we say “we” or “us” in this policy, this is also intended to cover those entities, as relevant.

    What personal information do we collect?

    We collect:

     

    • your name, profile picture and contact information, including email address, telephone number and company details (these will also visible to other users of the Lupl Platform as part of your user profile, to enable them to contact you via the Lupl Platform);

     

    • personal information you provide to us on or via the Services, such as if you submit a webform, raise a support ticket or otherwise contact us;

     

    • any user-generated content submitted by you on or via the Services (including files and messages that you create using your account). This type of content will be visible to you and other users who are within the relevant matter or chat group on the Lupl Platform. You can check who will see content via the People tab within the Lupl Platform. We only process this information as a processor and do not access this type of content unless specifically authorized by you or, where applicable, your organization, and we never use it for our own purposes;

     

    • information about how you use the Services, such as how many matters you create and who you are connected with on the Lupl Platform;

     

    • log files relating to your use of the Services, such as your IP address, the address of the website you visited before accessing the Services, your browser type, version and settings, the date and time you used the Services, your language preferences and cookie data;

     

    • device information, including the type of device, what device operating system you use, your device settings, application IDs, unique device identifiers and troubleshooting information;

     

    • information from Third Party Systems that are linked to the Lupl Platform. For example, if you, your organization or someone you work with connect an identity provider, document management system, cloud services provider, messaging application or video conferencing application to the Lupl Platform, Lupl may receive personal information that the Third Party System makes available to Lupl in order to facilitate the integration; you or your organization are in control of setting up this functionality and we only process this as a processor;

     

    • information you provide to us if you submit a job application to join the Lupl team, such as professional, educational or employment related information;

     

    • information you provide to us during other interactions, such as via calls or meetings you have with members of the Lupl team, if you interact with us via social media or other channels, if you participate in a workshop or focus group, or if you submit a job application to join the Lupl team;

     

    • cookie information – the Services may include cookies and similar tracking technologies – for more on which, see “What about Cookies?” below; and

     

    • information to enable us to check and verify your identity for security purposes, e.g., your date of birth, IP address.

     

    We don’t generally collect any special category personal information (also known as sensitive personal data), such as personal information revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and the processing of genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation. Any special category data that you submit in user generated content via the Services will be your and your organization’s responsibility, as we do not generally have access to this information.

     

    We will only process this kind of data with your explicit consent based on your decision to provide such information to us or as otherwise permitted by law. If you submit this kind of information to us, you agree that you will provide and hereby do provide your explicit consent for our processing of this information in accordance with this privacy policy.

     

    What about cookies?

    In limited situations, we may collect information using cookies. Cookies are small data files stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Services.

     

    We use two broad categories of Cookies: (1) first party Cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which are used only by us to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits Services; and (2) third party Cookies, which are served by service providers on Services, and can be used by such service providers to recognize your computer or mobile device for the purposes of things like Single Sign On.

     

    Our Services use(s) the following types of Cookies for the purposes set out below:

    Type of Cookies Purpose
    Essential CookiesThese Cookies are essential to provide you with the Services and to enable you to use some of its features. For example, they allow you to log in to a given matter and recognize you as having logged in. Without these Cookies, the Services that you have asked for cannot be provided, and we only use these Cookies to provide you with those Services.
    Functionality CookiesThese Cookies allow the Services to remember choices you make when you use our Services, such as remembering your login details and remembering the changes you make to other parts of our Services which you can customize. The purpose of these Cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you visit our Services.

    We do not currently respond to “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that might enable users to opt out of tracking on our Services where that tracking is necessary for the purpose of operating the Services.

     

    We use user analytics tools in order to better understand our users’ needs and to optimize this service and experience. These tools help us better understand our users’ experience (e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don’t like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback. These services use cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users’ behavior and their devices. This includes a device’s IP address (processed during your session and stored in a de-identified form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), and the preferred language used to display our website. This is stored in a pseudonymized user profile. These tools are configured to ensure that we cannot access any private, confidential or privileged information (e.g., the data from within your matters or documents on the platform).

     

    How is this personal information collected?

    Most of the personal information we process via the Services comes directly from you. However, we may also collect personal information:

     

    • if your organization provides it to us;

     

    • from publicly-accessible sources;

     

    • from Third Party Systems, as outlined above;

     

    • from other users, e.g. if someone else you know uses the Lupl Platform, and they send you an invitation to join the Lupl Platform and/or a specific matter, they might provide your information to facilitate this, just as you may provide theirs. In these situations, we rely on the relevant users or their respective organizations to obtain whatever consents are required for the sharing of this information with us;

     

    • from any other third party to whom you have given your consent; and

     

    • from cookies — for more information on our use of cookies, please see “What about cookies?” above.

    The above table does not apply to special category personal information, which is described above in the section titled “What personal information do we collect?”

    Promotional Communications

    From time to time, we may use your personal information to send you updates (by email, chat message, telephone or post) about our services, including offers, promotions or new products and/or services. These promotional communications are sent on a business to business basis to the customer organization that you work for or represent.

    We have a legitimate interest in processing your personal information for promotional purposes (see above ‘How and why do we use your personal information?’). However, where consent is needed, we will ask for this consent separately and clearly before sending you the communication.

     

    You have the right to opt out of receiving promotional communications at any time by:

     

    • contacting us at privacy@Lupl.com; or

     

    • using the ‘unsubscribe’ link in emails.

     

    We may ask you to confirm or update your marketing preferences if you instruct us to provide further products and/or services in the future, or if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business.

    With whom do we share your personal information?

    We share personal information with:

     

    • your organization, if you use the Services on behalf of or via your organization or their systems (see ‘What about your organization?’ above);

     

    • other users and invited users designated by you (e.g. when you use the Services to send or share communications, documents, or other information to third parties, such as your business contacts, we will share that communication or other information with the relevant third party. You are in control and should ensure that you only send communications or other information to people you trust);

     

    • third parties we use to help deliver the Services to you, e.g. cloud services providers, software developers of the Lupl Platform, support services providers, or independent contractors who work with us to provide the Services to you;

     

    • other third parties we use to help us run our business or support our activities, e.g. marketing agencies or website hosts and recruitment agencies;

     

    • our group companies where necessary for the provision of the Services and the operation of our business;

     

    • Third Party Systems (e.g. if a matter has a chat bridge into a Slack channel, we may share content from the Lupl matter into the bridged Slack channel) (see ‘What about other apps and integrations?’ above);

     

    • our professional advisors, such as external auditors, accountants and legal counsel, and insurers;

     

    • law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory rights or obligations; and

     

    • other parties, such as potential investors or buyers of some or all of our business or counterparties to a M&A transaction or during a re-structuring.

     

    We only allow our service providers to handle your personal information if they take appropriate measures to protect your personal information. We also impose contractual obligations on service providers to ensure they can only use your personal information to provide services to us and to you. We may also share personal information with external auditors.

     

    We may disclose and exchange information with law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory rights or obligations.

     

    We may also need to share some personal information with other parties, such as potential buyers of some or all of our business or during a re-structuring. Usually, information will be anonymized, but this may not always be possible. The recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations to ensure they can only use personal information strictly in compliance with applicable law.

    Where is your personal information held?

    Wherever your personal information is stored, it is always processed strictly in accordance with this privacy policy and applicable law.

     

    The Lupl Platform is hosted in the European Economic Area (the Netherlands). We use Microsoft Azure cloud services (see https://www.microsoft.com/en/trust-center for more information).

     

    Lupl itself is registered and incorporated in the United States, with subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Singapore. See our contact information as set forth in this privacy policy.

     

    Information may also be held at our offices and those of our group companies, third party agencies, service providers, representatives and agents as described above (see above: ‘With whom do we share your personal information?’).

     

    Some of these third parties may be based outside the European Economic Area. For more information, including on how we safeguard your personal information when this occurs, see below: ‘Transferring your personal information outside of your country or region’.

    Transferring your personal information outside of your country or region

    To deliver services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to share your personal information outside of your country or region, e.g.:

     

    • with our offices and group companies;

     

    • with our service providers and those of your organization;

     

    • with users who are located outside of your country or region;

     

    • where there is an international dimension to the Services we are providing to you.

     

    These transfers may be subject to special rules under applicable data protection laws, including where relevant the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and data protection laws applicable in the United Kingdom. We will ensure that such transfers are compliant with the requirements under the applicable data protection law and this may entail taking such necessary measures to ensure that such overseas recipients are bound by legally enforceable obligations to ensure that these overseas recipients provide a standard of protection to the personal information so transferred that is equivalent to the protection under the applicable data protection law. See ‘What about transfers outside of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom?’

    What about transfers outside of the European Economic Area?

    The transfers described above include transfers outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom (“UK”).

     

    Some of the countries to which we may transfer personal information have been assessed by the European Commission or the UK approving authority as providing an adequate level of protection for personal information: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en

     

    Except for the countries listed above, countries outside the EEA or the UK do not always provide the same level of protection for personal information as data protection laws as the EEA or the UK, respectively. We will, however, ensure the transfer and subsequent processing complies with data protection law.

     

    Our standard practice is to use standard contractual clauses (“SCCs”) that have been approved by the European Commission or the UK approving authority, as relevant. Where required by data protection laws (in particular, the Schrems II decision), we carry out pre-transfer assessments and supplement those clauses with additional measures. From time to time, we may update the specific versions of the SCCs that we rely on to transfer personal information, for example, to take into account changes in law and good practice.

     

    To obtain a copy of the SCCs or for further details about transfers, please contact privacy@lupl.com.

     

    If you would like further information, please contact us or our Data Protection Officer at privacy@lupl.com.

     

    How long will your personal information be kept?

    We will keep your personal information while you have an account with us or we are providing products and/or services to your organization. Thereafter, we will keep your personal information:

     

    • to respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf and/or exercise a legal claim, for a period starting from the end of the provision of the Services as per the contract concluded with your organization and corresponding to the time period in which it is possible to take a legal action in accordance with applicable law;

     

    • to keep records required by law and regulation applicable to us and/or the industries in which we operate.

     

    In addition, any personal information within or relating to a matter on the Lupl system will be retained in line with our standard archiving policies, which are designed to help users manage their compliance with record-keeping obligations under applicable law and regulation (e.g. law firms are required to keep records for certain specified periods of time). Please contact us at privacy@Lupl.com to learn more about these archiving policies.

     

    We will not retain your personal information for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this policy. Different retention periods apply for different types of personal information.

     

    When it is no longer necessary to retain your personal information, we will delete or anonymise it to the extent permitted by applicable law.

    A note about children

    The Services are designed for business users, and we do not intentionally gather personal information from users who are under the age of 16. If a child under 16 submits personal information to us and we learn that the personal information is the information of a child under 16, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible to the extent required by law. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or their child has provided us with information without their consent, he or she should contact us at privacy@lupl.com.

    Keeping your personal information secure

    We have appropriate security measures to prevent data security breaches involving personal information.

     

    We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to access it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorized manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

     

    We regularly test our systems, which means we follow industry standards for information security.

     

    Amongst other things, your information is protected during transmission and at rest in our data systems by cryptographic algorithms.

     

    We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

    How to complain

    We hope that we or our Data Protection Officer can resolve any query or concern you may raise about our use of your information. You may also have a right to lodge a complaint with the data protection regulator in your country or state. If you’re in the EU, this means you have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the place of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of an alleged infringement of GDPR.

    Notice to California residents

    We are required by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) to provide to California residents an explanation of how we collect, use and share their personal information, and of the rights and choices we offer California residents regarding our handling of the personal information. This notice does not apply to information related to our business contacts.

     

    We do not sell personal information. As we explain in this Privacy Policy, we use cookies and other tracking technologies to analyze website traffic and facilitate advertising. If you would like to opt out of our use of cookies and other tracking technologies, please review the instructions provided in the Online Tracking Opt-out Guide. Our platform allows users to direct us to share their information with Providers with whom they wish to connect.

     

    In addition to the information in our Privacy Policy, the following chart further describes our privacy practices with respect individuals whose information is governed by the CCPA.

    Please note that we may also disclose all personal information to service providers, to comply with law, in connection with compliance, fraud prevention and safety purposes, or in connection with a business transfer. For additional information, visit the section of our Privacy Policy entitled “With whom do we share your personal information?”

     

    Privacy Rights. Except as excluded above, the CCPA grants California residents the following rights:

     

    • Information. You can request information about how we have collected, used and shared your personal information during the past 12 months. We have made this this information available to California residents without having to request it by including it in this Privacy Policy, in the chart above.

     

    • Access. You can request a copy of the personal information that we maintain about you.

     

    • Deletion. You can ask us to delete the personal information that we collected or maintain about you.

     

    Please note that the CCPA limits these rights by, for example, prohibiting us from providing certain sensitive information in response to an access request and limiting the circumstances in which we must comply with a deletion request. If we deny your request, we will communicate our decision to you.

     

    You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination.

     

    How to Submit a Request. To request access to or deletion of personal information:

     

    • Call: +1 346 388 0769

     

    • Email: privacy@lupl.com

     

    Identity verification. The CCPA requires us to verify the identity of the individual submitting a request to access or delete personal information before providing a substantive response to the request. We may attempt to verify your identify by asking you to confirm information that we have on file about you or your interactions with us. Where we ask for additional personal information to verify your identity, we will only use it to verify your identity or your authority to make the request on behalf of another consumer.

     

    Authorized agents. California residents can empower an “authorized agent” to submit requests on their behalf. We will require the authorized agent to have a written authorization confirming that authority.

    Online Tracking Opt-Out Guide for California Residents

    Like many companies online, we use services that use tracking technology. These services rely on tracking technologies – such as cookies and web beacons – to collect directly from your device information about your browsing activities, your interactions with websites, and the device you are using to connect to the Internet.

     

    There are a number of ways to opt out of having your online activity and device data collected through these services, which we have summarized below:

     

    • Blocking cookies in your browser. Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies, including cookies used for interest-based advertising. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

     

    • Blocking advertising ID use in your mobile settings. Your mobile device settings may provide functionality to limit use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device for interest-based advertising purposes.

     

    • Using privacy plug-ins or browsers. You can block our websites from setting cookies used for interest-based ads by using a browser with privacy features, like Brave, or installing browser plugins like Privacy Badger, Ghostery or uBlock Origin, and configuring them to block third party cookies/trackers.

     

    • Advertising industry opt-out tools. You can also use these opt-out options to limit use of your information for interest-based advertising by participating companies:
    o Digital Advertising Alliance: https://optout.aboutads.info
    o Network Advertising Initiative: https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1

     

    Note that because these opt-out mechanisms are specific to the device or browser on which they are exercised, you will need to opt-out on every browser and device that you use.

     

    PLEASE READ THIS TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT (THE “TERMS OF USE”) CAREFULLY. THESE TERMS OF USE GOVERN THE USE OF LUPL SERVICES (EACH A “SERVICE” AND COLLECTIVELY, THE “SERVICES”).

THE TERM “YOU” REFERS TO THE INDIVIDUAL OR LEGAL ENTITY, AS APPLICABLE, IDENTIFIED AS THE USER WHEN YOU REGISTERED. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF USE, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.

     

    IF YOU SUBSCRIBE TO THE SERVICES FOR A TERM (THE “INITIAL TERM”), THEN THE TERMS OF USE WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED FOR ADDITIONAL PERIODS OF THE SAME DURATION AS THE INITIAL TERM AT LUPL’S THEN-CURRENT FEE FOR SUCH SERVICES UNLESS YOU DECLINE TO RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 13.1 (TERM) BELOW.

     

    THESE TERMS OF USE REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMITS THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE. ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE WILL BE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED BY AND UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF VIRGINIA, CONSISTENT WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

    7.3 Data Security. Lupl uses reasonable and appropriate data safeguards and procedures designed to prevent the authorized use or disclosure of Personal Data as required under Applicable Privacy Laws (“Data Safeguards”). However, it is important to recognize that no security is perfect and all we can do is take the steps set forth above to try and protect Personal Data. Personal Data may be stored on media or hardware containing other Lupl user data both during and after the Term, provided such media and hardware are subject to the Data Safeguards.

     

    8. FEES AND EXPENSES; PAYMENTS.

     

    8.1 Freemium Users. Lupl may offer you certain features or a limited version of the Services on a cost-free basis (“Freemium”).

    8.2 Fees. For enterprise customers, in consideration for the access rights granted to You and the Services performed by Lupl under the Terms of Use, You will pay Lupl the Fees agreed to when you registered for the applicable Services (if any). All Fees are billed in advance and payable within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice. Lupl reserves the right to modify the Fees payable hereunder upon written notice to You at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current term. Lupl reserves the right (in addition to any other rights or remedies Lupl may have) to discontinue the Platform and suspend Your access to the Services if any Fees are more than thirty (30) days overdue until such amounts are paid in full. For the avoidance of doubt, You shall continue to incur and be responsible for all Fees due for the Services during any such period of suspension or discontinuation. You will maintain complete, accurate and up-to-date billing and contact information at all times.

     

    8.3 Taxes. The Fees are exclusive of all applicable sales, use, value-added and other taxes, and all applicable duties, tariffs, assessments, export and import fees, or other similar charges, and You will be responsible for payment of all such taxes (other than taxes based on Lupl’s income), fees, duties, and charges and any related penalties and interest, arising from the payment of the Fees, the provision of the Services, or the license of the Platform to You. You will make all payments of Fees to Lupl free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes; any such taxes imposed on payments of Fees to Lupl will be Your sole responsibility, and You will provide Lupl with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as the Lupl may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.

     

    8.4 Interest. Any amounts not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month or the maximum legal rate if less (or the mandatory legal rate, whether more or less than this contractual rate, to the extent it automatically overrides any contractual rate by operation of applicable law), from the due date until paid. Moreover, You may automatically be liable to Lupl for certain lump-sum compensation for recovery costs under any mandatory provision of applicable law if a payment is late. If the recovery costs incurred by Lupl are higher than this amount, Lupl may request additional compensation upon justification.

     

    9. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES. You are solely responsible for any and all obligations with respect to the accuracy, quality and legality of Personal Data. You will obtain all licenses, consents and permissions needed for Lupl to use the information to provide the Services to You and others invited to a Matter Space by You.

     

    10. WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS.

Each party represents and warrants that (a) it has all rights, authorizations, consents, and permission necessary to perform its obligations or grant the rights and licenses hereunder and (b) it shall perform all of its obligations and exercise all of its rights hereunder in accordance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to such party.

     

    10.2 Disclaimer.

    10.3 Additional Disclaimers. Each Matter Space is Your and any invited third parties’ private work space. Lupl does not monitor the Content or information in Matter Spaces. Lupl shall not be responsible for any actions, or lack thereof, taken by You, any Lupl user, or any other party as a result of, or in connection with, the Services or the information exchanged in a Matter Space. In addition, the Platform allows You to connect third party software and services to Lupl. Lupl does not control these third-party software or services and as a result makes no promises about such third-party software or services, including whether or not they are available or will interoperate with Lupl in the future (or, in the case of Content, such as via the Knowledge Hub, whether the Content is accurate, complete or up-to-date). In addition, You may be required to have a separate agreement with the third party to use such third-party software and services. Nothing in the Lupl Materials constitutes or shall be construed as legal or other professional advice.

     

    11. LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION.

     

    11.1 Indemnification.

Lupl reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Lupl in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to indemnify any of the Company Parties for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Services provided hereunder. You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your Account, the Terms of Use and/or your access to Platform.

     

    11.2 Types of Damages. IN NO EVENT WILL LUPL BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF THE NATURE OF THE CLAIM, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, COSTS OF DELAY, ANY FAILURE OF DELIVERY, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, COSTS OF LOST OR DAMAGED DATA OR DOCUMENTATION, OR LIABILITIES TO THIRD PARTIES ARISING FROM ANY SOURCE, EVEN IF LUPL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION UPON DAMAGES AND CLAIMS IS INTENDED TO APPLY WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS OF USE HAVE BEEN BREACHED OR HAVE PROVEN INEFFECTIVE.

     

    11.3 Amount of Damages. THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF LUPL ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THESE TERMS OF USE WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY YOU TO LUPL DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE ACT, OMISSION OR OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL LUPL’S SUPPLIERS HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THESE TERMS OF USE.

    12. CONFIDENTIALITY.

     

    12.1 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. The Lupl Materials and all enhancements and improvements thereto will be considered Confidential Information of Lupl.

     

    12.2 Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party agrees that it will not use or disclose to any third party any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except as expressly permitted under these Terms of Use. The Receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information to those employees who have a need to know, who have confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth herein, and who have been informed of the confidential nature of such information (with respect to Lupl). 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 the Terms of Use, 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 the Terms of Use, and the Receiving Party will, upon request, certify to the Disclosing Party its compliance with this sentence.

     

    12.3 Exceptions. The confidentiality obligations set forth in Section

     

    12.2 (Protection of Confidential Information) will not apply to any information that (a) is at the time of disclosure or becomes generally available to the public through no fault of the Receiving Party; (b) is lawfully provided to the Receiving Party by a third party free of any confidentiality duties or obligations; (c) was already known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure free of any confidentiality duties or obligations; or (d) the Receiving Party can demonstrate was independently developed by employees and contractors of the Receiving Party who had no access to the Confidential Information. 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 the Terms of Use 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.
