Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Section 11 with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret under Applicable Law will continue until such time, if ever, as such Confidential Information ceases to qualify for trade secret protection other than as a result of any act or omission of the Receiving Party.
- The Parties agree that the preceding obligations of confidentiality shall not apply with respect to Confidential Information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate by written or other documentary records: (i) was rightfully known by the Receiving Party without restriction; (ii) was or becomes generally known by the public (without breach of this Section 11); (iii) was or is received by the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a Person that was not or is not at the time of such receipt under any obligation to maintain its confidentiality; (iv) the Receiving Party can demonstrate by written or other documentary records was or is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to or use of any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (v) was authorized for release and/or disclosure in writing by the Disclosing Party without restriction.
- If the Receiving Party is compelled by Applicable Law to disclose any Confidential Information then, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Receiving Party shall: (a) promptly, and prior to such disclosure, notify the Disclosing Party in writing of such requirement so that the Disclosing Party can seek a protective order or other remedy or waive its rights under Section 11; and (b) provide reasonable assistance to the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense, in opposing such disclosure or seeking a protective order or other limitations on disclosure. If the Disclosing Party waives compliance or, after providing the notice and assistance required under this Section 11, the Receiving Party remains required by Applicable Law to disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that, on the advice of the Receiving Party’s outside legal counsel, the Receiving Party is legally required to disclose.
- The Receiving Party agrees to immediately notify the Disclosing Party upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and shall assist the Disclosing Party in regaining such Confidential Information thus mitigating the loss to the Disclosing Party. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement or at any other time upon the Disclosing Party’s request, the Receiving Party will promptly deliver to the Disclosing Party all documents and materials (including summaries, copies, and excerpts thereof) containing the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Furthermore, both Parties agree not disclose any aspect of this Agreement to any third party other than their respective tax or legal consultants and then only on a need-to-know basis.
- Upon termination of this Agreement, all Confidential Information (and all copies thereof) received will be returned to the Disclosing Party or will be destroyed, with written certification thereof being given to the Disclosing Party, provided, however that Tango may retain Subscriber Data as necessary to provide the post-termination access contemplated by Section 10.e. The Parties acknowledge that disclosure of any Confidential Information would cause irreparable injury to the Party whose information is disclosed, which injury may be inadequately compensated in damages. Therefore, either Party will be entitled to injunctive relief against the other’s breach or threatened breach of this Section 11 as well as any other legal remedies that are available, without the need to post a bond.

The Parties agree that Tango has set the fees and entered into each Order Form in reliance upon the disclaimers and limitations set forth herein, that the same reflect an allocation of risk between the Parties (including the risk that a contract remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same form an essential basis of the bargain between the Parties.
- Dispute Resolution. If a Party believes that the other Party is in breach of this Agreement, it will give immediate written notice to the other Party detailing the breach. The Parties will enter into good faith negotiations to reach a reasonable resolution of the complaint for a period of no less than thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the complaining Party’s written notice prior to instituting litigation or otherwise pursuing any legal remedies. If such negotiations do not reach a resolution, either Party may then resort to whatever remedy is available at law or equity, subject to the limitations on remedy provided for in this Agreement. The dispute resolution procedure set forth in this Section 15 will not operate to prevent a Party from seeking injunctive relief or apply to Subscriber’s failure to make payments when due.
- Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to any principle that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Each Party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in any federal or state court located in Dallas County, Texas over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each of the Parties agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law. EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION OR LITIGATION IN ANY WAY RISING OUT OF, OR RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT.
- Attorney’s Fees. In the event of any dispute between the Parties concerning the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Party prevailing in such dispute shall be entitled to collect from the other Party all costs incurred in such dispute, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
- Notices. Notices will be given in writing and may be delivered by U.S. mail, overnight delivery service, confirmed e-mail, or personal delivery to the intended recipient of the notice. Notice will be deemed delivered when received or one business day after deposit with an overnight delivery service for next day delivery, whichever is earlier. Notice will be provided to Subscriber at the address provided above (or in an Order Form) and to Tango at 9797 Rombauer Rd. Suite 450, Dallas, TX, 75019 with a copy via email to Legal@TangoAnalytics.com. A Party may change a contact upon written notice to the other Party, which notice will contain the new contact information as set forth above.
- Remedies Cumulative. Except where specifically provided, termination of this Agreement will be without prejudice to any other rights that either Party may have at law or in equity.
- Force Majeure. If the performance of any part of this Agreement by a Party is prevented, hindered, delayed or otherwise made commercially unreasonable by reason of any causes beyond the control of the Party, including but not limited to flood or other natural disaster, riot, fire, judicial or governmental action, labor disputes, actions or failures of the hosting or internet service provider or of any telecommunications service providers or facilities in the chain of communication to and from Tango’s server, sabotage or criminal interference with the server or SaaS Services or any other similar or dissimilar event or circumstances (a “Force Majeure Event”), the Party experiencing the Force Majeure Event will be excused from performance. The foregoing will not apply to the obligation to make payments of fees for the Services or related expenses. Each Party agrees to give the other notice as soon as possible of the existence of a Force Majeure Event affecting the Party’s performance.
- Separate Parties; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Parties agree that nothing in this Agreement will be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, franchise, or employee-employer relationship among Tango, Subscriber or any User. Tango will perform the Services as an independent contractor. Neither Tango nor Subscriber is an agent of the other or is authorized to make any representation, contract or commitment on behalf of the other. No person not a party to this Agreement is an intended beneficiary of this Agreement, and no User or any other person not a party to this Agreement will have any right to enforce any term of this Agreement.
- Waiver; Severability. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be valid unless in writing and signed by the Party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced, nor will failure to enforce any right hereunder constitute a continuing waiver of the same or a waiver of any other right hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement cannot be construed in a fashion that is lawful or is otherwise found void, then the Parties agree that the remaining provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect as if said void provision never existed and as long as the removal of such void provision does not alter the intent of the Parties, including the economics of this Agreement.
- Assignment. Subscriber may not assign Subscriber’s rights and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written permission of Tango. Tango may assign this Agreement in conjunction with a merger, consolidation, reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or similar transaction by providing Subscriber with written notice of such transaction. This Agreement will be binding on each Party’s permitted successors and assigns.
- Non-Exclusive; Entire Agreement. The relationship created by this Agreement is non-exclusive in all respects. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Tango and Subscriber with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous proposals, negotiations and other written or oral communications between the Parties with respect thereto. The Parties anticipate that they may provide or exchange purchase orders, acknowledgments, confirmations, invoices or other documents relating to the subscription to the SaaS Services and or Professional Services, which may contain terms or conditions that are different from, or in addition to, this Agreement. Each Party objects to the inclusion of any different or additional terms by the other Party in any document or communications, which terms will be of no force or effect unless expressly agreed to in writing with reference to this Agreement. To the extent that additional terms and conditions are linked to or are to be incorporated by hyperlink text, reference or otherwise in this Agreement, such terms are incorporated into this Agreement in their entirety by reference.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the authorized representatives of the Parties have executed this Agreement as of the Effective Date.
