                        (a)        Free Use.  Individual users and non-profit tax exempt organizations (recognized as such under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code) may use FaunaDB for free until such use is terminated by Fauna upon written notice (the "Free Use Period"). Commercial Users (as defined below) who use FaunaDB in single-node and single-process configurations only (without partitioning and without replication), including the use of multiple single-node and single process configurations (without partitioning and without replication) by the same Commercial User, may also use FaunaDB for free until such use is terminated by Fauna upon written notice (also, the "Free Use Period").  Commercial Users who use FaunaDB in clusters of more than one node or process, or that enable the partitioning or replication features in any way, may use FaunaDB free of charge only for a trial period of ninety (90) days (the "Free Trial Period").

                        Upon the expiration of the Free Trial Period, Your right to the free use of FaunaDB shall automatically terminate unless You request an extension of time from Fauna in writing, prior to the expiration of the Free Trial Period, which Fauna may grant or deny in its sole and absolute discretion.  You acknowledge that Fauna may terminate Your right to the free use of the Service or Fauna Software (as defined below) during the Free Use Period and the Free Trial Period at any time for any reason or no reason in Fauna’s sole discretion, without liability.  Upon the termination of Your free use under this Agreement, all license rights granted hereunder shall terminate in full and without notice, and You shall immediately cease use of FaunaDB and/or Fauna Software.  A "Commercial User" is defined as any company, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, or other entity; or any other organization, business, association, entity, or enterprise that is formed, organized or operated for business, governmental, institutional or commercial purposes.

6.  Confidentiality

6.1  Each party (the “Receiving Party”) understands that the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) has disclosed or may disclose information relating to the Disclosing Party’s business (hereinafter referred to as “Confidential Information” of the Disclosing Party) in the course of performing activities under or satisfying its obligations under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing (except the FaunaDB, Fauna Software and underlying software, algorithms and information (other than Customer Information) embodied therein, which is Confidential Information of Fauna, and except the Customer Information, which is Confidential Information of Customer) will be considered “Confidential Information” of the Disclosing Party unless either it is or was disclosed in tangible or written form and is conspicuously marked “Confidential” at the time of disclosure or it is identified as confidential or proprietary at the time of disclosure and is delivered in the appropriately marked form within thirty (30) days of disclosure or which a reasonable person would consider confidential.

6.2  The Receiving Party agrees to hold all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in strict confidence and not to disclose such information to third parties, or use such information for any purposes whatsoever other than pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and to advise each of its employees and agents of their obligations to keep such information confidential.  Even when disclosure is permitted, each party agrees to limit access to and disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information to its employees and agents on a “need to know” basis only who are bound by obligations of confidentiality at least as protective as those contained herein.  The Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any information after three (3) years following the disclosure thereof (except the Fauna Software, FaunaDB and underlying software, algorithms and information embodied therein and Customer Information, which shall remain confidential indefinitely).  Confidential Information shall exclude all information, which (i) is at the time of disclosure, or thereafter becomes, generally known to the public through no act or omission of the Receiving Party, its employees or agents; (ii) was in the Receiving Party’s possession as shown by written records without any obligation of confidentiality prior to the disclosure by the Disclosing Party and had not been obtained by the Receiving Party either directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party; (iii) was rightfully provided to Receiving Party by a third party without obligation of confidentiality; or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of the Confidential Information, as evidenced by contemporaneous written records.  If Confidential Information is required to be disclosed pursuant to an order or requirement of a court, administrative agency or governmental body, the Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the facts thereof to enable the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or restrict disclosure of such information, and upon request of the Disclosing Party, shall reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party to obtain such protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained, or the Disclosing Party waives compliance (in whole or in part) with the confidentiality terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto, the Receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all Confidential Information that is disclosed shall be accorded confidential treatment.

7.  Open Source Software

FaunaDB may contain open source software components, each of which has its own copyright notice requirements and own applicable license conditions.

8.  Indemnification

8.2       Indemnification by Customer.  Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Fauna (and its officers, directors, employees, and agents) from and against any and all claims, suits, liability, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) Customer’s use of FaunaDB or the Fauna Software; (b) a claim that Customer Information, infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights or violates any applicable data privacy law; or (c) the willful or negligent acts or omissions by Customer provided that: (i) Customer shall be promptly notified in writing by Fauna of any notice of any such claim; (ii) Customer shall have the sole control of the defense of any action on such claim and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise and shall bear the costs of the same; and (iii) Fauna shall cooperate fully at Customer’s expense with Customer in the defense, settlement or compromise of such claim.
