1.2 – Customer Affiliates
The rights granted under this MSA apply only to the Customer entity that enters into the applicable Order Form or SOW. Customer may not extend its rights to any Customer Affiliate (defined below) under any Order Form or SOW. However, Customer Affiliates shall be entitled to enter into one or more Order Forms or SOWs with Amplitude pursuant to this MSA and, in such circumstances, all references in this MSA to Customer shall be deemed to be applicable to the Customer Affiliate with respect to that particular Order Form or SOW, unless otherwise set forth in writing. With respect to each such Order Form or SOW, such Customer Affiliate becomes a party to this MSA and references to Customer in this MSA are deemed to be references to such Customer Affiliate. Each Order Form or SOW is a separate obligation of the Customer entity that enters into such Order Form or SOW, and the rights granted in connection with such Order Form or SOW are solely for the benefit of such Customer entity that enters into such Order Form or SOW, and no other Customer entity has any liability, obligation or rights under such Order Form or SOW. "Customer Affiliate" shall mean any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Customer, where control (including "controlled by" and "under common control with") means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person or entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities or other ownership interests, by contract or otherwise.

1.5 – Professional Services
From time to time, the parties may enter into a Statement of Work ("SOW") that describes the consulting and/or training services to be performed by Amplitude (the "Professional Services"). Each SOW will be subject to the terms of this MSA. Amplitude will perform the Professional Services specified in the SOW in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with the SOW and this MSA. No changes to a SOW will be effective without the written agreement of each party. If Customer purchases Professional Services, Amplitude may share documentation and training materials (collectively, the "Amplitude Professional Services Materials") with Customer. If Amplitude Professional Services Materials are provided to Customer in connection with the Professional Services, Amplitude grants Customer, during the term of the applicable SOW, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right and license to use the Amplitude Professional Services Materials internally in connection with the Professional Services and to support Customer’s permitted use of the Amplitude Services.

If Customer enables or uses Third-Party Products with the Amplitude Services, Customer acknowledges the interoperation of the Third-Party Products and Amplitude Services may require the exchange of Customer Data as required for the interoperation of the Third-Party Product and the Amplitude Services and Customer hereby grants Amplitude permission to allow the Third Party Product and its provider to access Customer Data in connection with such integration. This may include transmitting, transferring, modifying or deleting Customer Data. Amplitude shall not be responsible for any use, disclosure, modification, or deletion of such Customer Data or for any act or omission on the part of the third-party provider or its Third-Party Products. Amplitude cannot guarantee the continued availability of integrations of Third-Party Products with the Amplitude Services, and may cease providing them without entitling Customer to any refund, credit, or other compensation, if, for example and without limitation, the provider of a Third-Party Product ceases to make the Third Party Product available for interoperation with the corresponding Amplitude Services in a manner acceptable to Amplitude.
4. Confidentiality
4.1 – Definition of Confidential Information
"Confidential Information" means any information or data in any form or medium (whether oral, written, electronic, or otherwise) disclosed by either party that is marked or otherwise designated as confidential or proprietary at the time of disclosure or that should otherwise be reasonably understood to be confidential in light of the nature of the information and the circumstances surrounding its disclosure. However, Confidential Information will not include any information which (a) is in the public domain through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was properly known to the receiving party, without restriction, prior to disclosure by the disclosing party; (c) was properly disclosed to the receiving party, without restriction, by another person with the legal authority to do so; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information.
4.2 – Protection of Confidential Information
Each party agrees that it will use the Confidential Information of the other party solely in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and it will not disclose, or permit to be disclosed, the same, directly or indirectly, to any third party without the other party’s prior written consent, except as otherwise permitted hereunder. However, either party may disclose Confidential Information (a) to its employees, officers, directors, attorneys, auditors, financial advisors and other representatives who have a need to know and are legally bound to keep such information confidential by confidentiality obligations consistent with those of the Agreement; and (b) as required by law (in which case the receiving party will, to the extent legally permitted, notify the disclosing party within a reasonable time prior to such access or disclosure so as to provide the disclosing party with the opportunity to contest such disclosure or otherwise seek appropriate protective measures, and will use its reasonable efforts to minimize such disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law). If the receiving party is compelled by law to access or disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the disclosing party is a party, the disclosing party will reimburse the receiving party for the reasonable costs of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information. Neither party will disclose the terms of the Agreement to any third party, except that either party may confidentially disclose such terms to actual or potential parties to a bona fide fundraising, acquisition, or similar transaction solely for the purposes of the proposed transaction, provided that any such party is subject to written non-disclosure obligations and limitations on use no less protective than those set forth herein. Each party agrees to safeguard the Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure using at least the degree of care it uses to protect its similarly sensitive information and in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. In the event of actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section or the License Restrictions, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without waiving any other rights or remedies available to it. Each party will promptly notify the other in writing if it becomes aware of any violations of the confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement.
5. Payment Of Fees

5.5 – Purchase Order
If the Customer requires the use of a purchase order, the Customer is responsible for providing the applicable purchase order at the time of purchase. The Customer acknowledges and agrees to the extent of any inconsistency between the Agreement and any terms and conditions attached to the Customer’s purchase order, the terms of the Agreement will prevail.

The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the indemnifying party shall not enter into settlement of any Claim that requires the indemnified party to admit fault or pay amounts that the indemnifying party must pay under this Section, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
