Each Buildkite Agent runs a single build at a time.

      5. Buildkite will not be responsible for any loss or corruption of Customer Content, lost communications, or any other loss or damage of any kind arising from Customer’s or its third party providers’ telecommunications or Internet services or any such hardware or software.

Trial Subscriptions are permitted solely for Customer’s use to determine whether to purchase a subscription to the Buildkite Solution and may have limited functionality and features. Customer’s right to access and use the Buildkite Solution will terminate at the end of the Trial Period unless Customer elects to purchase a non-trial or evaluation version of the Buildkite Solution under a separate Order Form with Buildkite. Buildkite Solution has the right to terminate a Trial Subscription at any time for any reason. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the warranties, indemnities and other obligations of Buildkite hereunder shall not apply to Trial Subscriptions all of which are provided “as is” and “as available”.

For clarity, Aggregated Anonymous Data will not include Customer Data that has not been anonymized and aggregated with other Buildkite customer data and does not give Buildkite the right to identify Customer as the source of any Aggregated Anonymous Data.
      3. Storage of Customer Data

    1. Buildkite Indemnity

      . Buildkite shall defend (at Buildkite’s expense), Customer and its officers, directors and employees from and against any third party claims, suits, or proceedings (“Claims”) brought against Customer or its officers, directors or employees by a third party contending that Customer’s use of the Buildkite Cloud Service in accordance with the Documentation infringes any patent, copyright or trade secret rights of a third party arising under the laws of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, India or Japan and shall pay all damages finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to by Buildkite in settlement of the Claim. In the event that the Buildkite Cloud Services or any part thereof is likely to, in Buildkite’s sole opinion, or do become the subject of an infringement related Claim, and Buildkite cannot, at its option and expense, on a commercially reasonable basis, procure for Customer the right to continue using the Buildkite Cloud Services, or any part thereof, or modify the Buildkite Cloud Services, or any part thereof, to make them non-infringing, then Buildkite may terminate the affected Order Forms with notice to Customer and will provide the Customer with a refund of any pre-paid fees for the unexpired portion of the remaining Term. Buildkite shall have no liability for any Claim or demand arising from (i) an allegation that does not state with specificity that the Buildkite Cloud Services is the basis of the Claims; (ii) the use or combination of the Buildkite Cloud Services or any part thereof with software, hardware, or other materials not developed by Buildkite if the Buildkite Cloud Services or use thereof would not infringe without such combination; (iii) modification of the Buildkite Cloud Services by a party other than Buildkite, if the use of unmodified Buildkite Cloud Services would not constitute infringement; (iv) a breach by Customer or its Users of any obligation under this Agreement or a use of the Buildkite Cloud Services by Customer or any User in a manner outside the scope of any right granted herein or not in accordance with the Documentation if the claim would not have arisen but for such breach or unauthorized use; (v) Customer Content or Third Party Services; or (vi) an allegation made against Customer prior to the execution of this Agreement or any allegation based upon any action by Customer prior to the execution of this Agreement. The foregoing states Buildkite’s entire liability and Customer’s exclusive remedy for intellectual property rights infringement.
    2. Customer Indemnity

      . Customer shall defend (at Customer’s expense), Buildkite and its officers, directors and employees from and against any Claims brought against Buildkite or its officers, directors or employees by a third party (i) alleging that the Customer Content violates applicable laws, rules, regulations or guidelines, infringes the intellectual property rights or privacy rights of, or has otherwise harmed, a third party, (ii) arising out of or related to the Third Party Services or Customer’s or its Team Members use thereof, or (iii) based upon any User’s use of the Buildkite Solution not in accordance with the terms hereof or not in accordance with the Documentation.
    3. Indemnification Process

      . The foregoing indemnification obligations are conditioned on the indemnified party: (a) notifying the indemnifying party promptly in writing of such action, (b) reasonably cooperating and assisting in such defense at the indemnifying party’s expense, and (c) giving sole control of the defense and any related settlement negotiations to the indemnifying party with the understanding that the indemnifying party may not settle any claim in a manner that does not fully release the indemnified party from liability or which seeks to impose liability, restrictions or other obligations on the indemnified party, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent.
  9. Limitation of Liability.

    1. Limitation of Liability

      . TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING UNDER STATUTE, CONTRACT, TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, EXCEED THE SUBSCRIPTION FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY CUSTOMER UNDER THE APPLICABLE ORDER FORM UNDER WHICH THE CLAIM AROSE DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE.

Termination shall not relieve Customer of the obligation to pay any Fees accrued or payable to Buildkite prior to the effective date of termination; provided, that, unless Buildkite has terminated this Agreement for Customer’s uncured breach, Buildkite will refund any prepaid Subscription Fees paid by Customer for the unused Subscription Term following the termination date.
    3. Rights and Obligations Upon Expiration or Termination

Neither party shall have any remedy in respect of any untrue statement made by the other upon which that party relied in entering into this Agreement (unless such untrue statement was made fraudulently) and that party’s only remedy in respect of any untrue statement shall be for breach of contract as provided in this Agreement. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (or any Order Form) shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the modification, amendment, or waiver is to be asserted.

The terms of this Agreement will be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
    8. Force Majeure

      . Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party (except the payment of money owed) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by acts of God, wars, terrorism, acts of government, changes in laws, orders, rules or regulations, shortage of materials or embargos, pandemics, epidemics, earthquake, flood, natural disasters, travel restrictions, failures of utility providers, telecommunications providers or other third party service providers or suppliers, or any other event beyond the reasonable control of such party after taking commercially reasonable precautions, provided that such party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the other party of the cause of such delay and to resume performance as soon as possible.
    9. Independent Contractors

      . Buildkite’s relationship to Customer is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. Neither party will have, and will not represent to any third party that it has, any authority to act on behalf of the other.
