9. Legal defects
If a third party starts legal action claiming that the Software infringes other’s copyright, title or industrial rights in the country in which Customer is domiciled, SuperOffice shall at its own expense defend the Customer’s interest. This will, however, only apply to the extent the Customer immediately notifies SuperOffice of such claims, that SuperOffice gains control of the case and that the Customer co-operates with SuperOffice in the negotiations and potential court proceedings. SuperOffice shall in such case cover awarded legal costs and compensation. No other claims than those stated in this clause may be put forward against SuperOffice as a result of legal defects.
10. Confidentiality
Each party and everyone that on behalf of the Receiving Party receives information (“the Receiving Party”) about the other party (“the Rendering Party”) and its business, relations and other data, which information is marked as confidential information or information which the Receiving Party should have understood that is the Rendering Party’s confidential information, are obligated to not expose such information to outsiders without the Rendering Party’s consent. The Receiving Party shall protect and keep in secrecy all such information that it receives from the Rendering Party. The obligation to maintain secrecy does not apply vis-à-vis persons who are authorized to take note of the information and who have been bound to secrecy by law or by contract or to the extent that it conflicts with protection of the parties' own rights.
Confidential information does not include such information which
a) is in or enters into the public domain or is or becomes generally available (unless as a result of an infringement of this stipulation by the informed Party or one of its representatives);
b) had already been in the possession of the informed party lawfully and without any duty of confidentiality before it received this information from the informed party; or
c) was received from a third party entitled to disclose this information without limitation.
That one of the above exceptions applies has to be proven by the party which pleads the same.

12. Subscription fees and payment
The monthly subscription fees payable for access to the Software for an Agreement Period are specified in the Initial Order Form from SuperOffice or a certified SuperOffice Partner. The price is calculated on the basis of the total number of users and User Plans in effect at any given time. If the Customer orders additional software products, the Customer shall be invoiced for the period from when the order has been confirmed by SuperOffice to the end of the current Agreement Period.

13. Termination of Agreement
Each party may terminate the Agreement by no less than 30 days prior written notice to the other party at least 30 days prior to the end of the then current Agreement Period, and the termination will have effect from the end of such Agreement Period. If the Customer terminates with effect (notice more than 30 days) before the end of the then current Agreement Period, the Customer will still have to pay for the entire Agreement Period. The termination shall not involve any form of refund of the compensation and shall only indicate that the Agreement will not be extended for a subsequent Agreement Period.
If the notice of termination is not issued in accordance with the provisions in the first paragraph, the Agreement shall be automatically renewed for a new Invoice Interval.
