During the Trial Period, Customer may add and remove Users as needed for the evaluation. However, any Users included in a paid subscription to the Services or otherwise under the Free Plan, can only be added or removed in accordance with the terms of the specific plan or term Customer elects. If Customer elects to use the Hosted Services under the limited free to use option, and PagerDuty agrees (the “Free Plan”), Customer acknowledges and accepts that PagerDuty may terminate Customer’s use of the Services under the Free Plan for any reason or no reason at all and without any required prior notice. DURING THE TRIAL PERIOD AND USE UNDER THE FREE PLAN, PAGERDUTY WILL HAVE NO OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER TO CONTINUE PROVIDING THE SERVICES, AND CUSTOMER WILL HAVE NO CLAIM OR REMEDY FOR THE FAILURE OF THE SERVICES.

No service level commitment will apply to the Pre-Release Technology. Certain features or functionality of the Services may not be available in Pre-Release Technology. PagerDuty’s provision of any Pre-Release Technology does not constitute a commitment to offer the Pre-Release Technology on a generally available basis or to continue to provide Customer with access to the Pre-Release Technology. PagerDuty may modify Pre-Release Technology or terminate Customer’s access to it at any time in PagerDuty’s sole discretion, and any such modification or termination will not be deemed a material, detrimental change under this Agreement.

At the end of each Hosted Services Subscription Term, the associated order shall automatically renew for the same Subscription Term as the immediately preceding term, at the prices communicated to Customer at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of that Hosted Services Subscription Term. In the event no notice of a price increase is provided, the associated order will renew at the same pricing for the applicable Services for the applicable renewal term. All automatic renewals will be for a minimum twelve (12) month Subscription Term, excluding month-to-month customers who have purchased via PagerDuty’s online self-serve portal. Customer must provide thirty (30) days notice prior to an auto-renewal date of intent to downgrade or not renew Services by sending a notice to renewals@pagerduty.com.

Such exemptions should be sent directly to PagerDuty at accountsreceivable@pagerduty.com. If for any reason a taxing jurisdiction determines that Customer is not exempt from any such exempted Taxes and then assesses PagerDuty such Taxes, Customer agrees to promptly pay to PagerDuty such Taxes plus any applicable interest or penalties assessed. Customer hereby confirms that PagerDuty can rely on the ship-to name and address set forth in the Order Form(s) as being the place of supply for Tax purposes.

Customer will pay all amounts determined to be payable by resolution of the dispute within ten (10) days following such resolution.

Confidentiality
- Definition of Confidential Information. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all confidential information disclosed by a Party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of Customer shall include Contact Information. Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was or becomes known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party as evidenced by written records, or (iii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
- Protection of Confidential Information. Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind, but no less than reasonable care to: (i) not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for purposes outside the scope of the Agreement; and (ii) limit access of Confidential Information to employees, agents and Affiliates who reasonably need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of exercising Receiving Party’s rights or fulfilling Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement, provided that Receiving Party shall ensure that such employees, agents and Affiliates are bound by obligations of confidentiality substantially the same as the obligations set forth in this Confidentiality section. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order Form to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel or accountants, without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such third party’s compliance with this “Confidentiality” section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PagerDuty may disclose the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Order Form to a contractor or third party to the extent necessary to perform PagerDuty’s obligations under this Agreement, under terms of confidentiality materially as protective as set forth herein.
- Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law or governmental authority to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior written notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and provides reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure or otherwise seek protection for its Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall limit any disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 8.3 to the extent necessary to strictly comply with the applicable request. Any disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall not affect the confidential treatment of such disclosed Confidential Information.
- Remedies. Receiving Party agrees that a breach of this Section 8 may result in immediate and irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party that money damages alone may be inadequate to compensate. Therefore, in the event of such a breach, the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek injunctive and any other equitable relief, including but not limited to a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or permanent injunction without the posting of a bond or other security.
-

- Indemnification Procedures. As a condition to being indemnified under this Section, the Party seeking indemnification shall: (i) promptly notify the indemnifying Party of the Claim; (ii) allow the indemnifying Party sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim; and (iii) provide reasonable assistance, at the indemnifying Party’s expense, in defending or settling the Claim. The indemnifying Party shall (a) keep the indemnified Party informed of and consult with the indemnified Party in connection with the progress of such litigation or settlement and (b) not settle any such Claim in a manner that does not unconditionally release the indemnified Party without the indemnified Party’s written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Reseller Transactions. If any of Customer’s purchases of the
Service(s) are made through an authorized reseller of PagerDuty
(“Reseller”):
- Customer will pay any owed amounts to the Reseller, as agreed between Customer and the Reseller. Customer agrees that PagerDuty may suspend or terminate Customer’s use of the Service(s) if PagerDuty does not receive its payment of Fees from the Reseller.
- Customer may place an order through the Reseller or via the self-service function in the Hosted Service(s). The Reseller will be invoiced for any orders placed via self-service and will, in turn, invoice Customer. The Reseller and Customer are responsible for the accuracy of all orders placed.
- Reseller may not modify this Agreement or make any commitments on PagerDuty’s behalf. Only this Agreement governs PagerDuty’s obligations to Customer.
- The amounts paid by the Reseller to PagerDuty for Customer’s use of the Service(s) under this Agreement will be deemed the amount actually paid under this Agreement for purposes of calculating PagerDuty’s liability under Section 11.1 (General Limitation of Liability).
- Purchases made through Resellers will not automatically renew. Customer’s renewal pricing will be communicated to Customer by the Reseller prior to the expiration of Customer’s Subscription Term. Should Customer elect to continue purchasing Service(s) through the Reseller, Customer will place a new order as set forth in Section 12.4(ii).
