3. License

b) Support. You will report any errors or difficulties you find with the Jamf APIs to Jamf. Jamf is not obligated to provide any support for the Jamf APIs or correct any errors you report. We may determine, in our sole discretion, to assist you or make corrections. Any corrections we make will be considered part of the Jamf APIs. If you are a member of Jamf's Technical Partnership and Alliance Program, Jamf may provide you standard technical support services for the Jamf APIs as further described at https://www.jamf.com/resources/product-documentation/standard-technical-support-description/.

Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party owns its respective Trademarks and that all goodwill derived from the use of such Party's Trademarks inures solely to the benefit of the Party that owns the Trademark. Each Party hereby assigns to the other Party all goodwill that may inure to it in connection with this Agreement or from its use of the other Party's Trademarks hereunder. In no event will a Party contest or aid in contesting the validity or ownership of any of the other Party's Trademarks or take any action in derogation of the other Party's rights therein, including, applying to register any trademark, trade name, service mark or other designation that is confusingly similar to any Trademark of the other Party.
10. Disclaimers
WE PROVIDE THE JAMF APIS "AS IS" AND MAKE NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THE JAMF APIS, JAMF APPLICATION DATA OR API DOCUMENTATION. NO ORAL INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY US WILL CREATE A WARRANTY.

15. Confidential Information
a) Confidential Information. In connection with the performance of the Parties' obligations under this Agreement, either Party may provide information it considers proprietary or confidential to the other Party. "Confidential Information" includes all information relating to a Party's business that has value to a Party and is not generally known to the public, including non-public material information as those terms are understood under the securities laws of the United States, and that (i) is marked as confidential or with a similar restrictive legend, (ii) is expressly advised by the disclosing Party to be confidential through some contemporaneous written means, or (iii) which the receiving Party would reasonably construe to be confidential information under the circumstances. The Jamf APIs are the Confidential Information of Jamf.
b) Exclusions. Confidential Information excludes information that (i) lawfully is or becomes part of the public domain through no act or omission of the receiving Party, (ii) comes into a Party's lawful possession without restriction on disclosure or (iii) is independently created by a Party without use of or reliance on the other Party's Confidential Information.
c) Obligations. Each Party agrees that it will protect the other Party's Confidential Information by using the same degree of care it uses to protect its own Confidential Information (but no less than a reasonable degree of care) and that it will only use the other Party's Confidential Information for the purposes permitted by this Agreement. Neither Party will use Confidential Information or divulge it to a third party, except as allowed or required to perform a Party's obligations under this Agreement and only if that third party is bound by a written non-disclosure agreement that contains restrictions at least as protective as those set forth in this Section 15, and the receiving Party remains liable to the disclosing Party for violations of this Agreement by such third parties.
d) Return of Confidential Information and Survival. Upon the disclosing Party's written request at termination of this Agreement or at any other time during the term, the receiving Party will, at the disclosing Party's discretion, either (i) return or (ii) destroy any materials or copies of disclosing Party's Confidential Information. The Parties' confidentiality obligations under this Section 15 shall continue for three (3) years from the termination (for any reason) of this Agreement, except with respect to trade secrets for which the obligations shall continue so long as the Confidential Information legally remains a trade secret.
16. Choice of Law, Jurisdiction and Venue
a) If you are located in the United States, this Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota in the United States of America, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions and the sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for actions arising under this Agreement will be the federal and state courts located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Parties waive any argument that such courts are inconvenient or otherwise inappropriate to resolve such conflicts.
b) If you are located outside of the United States of America, this Agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions and the sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for actions arising under this Agreement will be the courts located in London, England.

c) We may institute an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive relief at any time.
17. United States Government Users
If applicable, you acknowledge that the Jamf APIs were developed entirely at private expense and that no part of them was first produced in the performance of any government contract. The Jamf APIs and API Documentation are each a "Commercial Product" or "Commercial Service" as those terms are defined at 48 C.F.R. §2.101 and Jamf licenses them and provides them to U.S. government customers as "Commercial Computer Software" and "Commercial Computer Software Documentation" as those terms are used in 48 C.F.R. §12.212 or §227.7202 (or similar provisions in the applicable jurisdiction). If Developer is an agency, department, or instrumentality of the U.S. government, then use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer of the Commercial Products and Commercial Services and any related data, is restricted in accordance with 48 C.F.R. § 12.211, 48 C.F.R. § 12.212, 48 C.F.R. § 227.7102-2, and 48 C.F.R. § 227.7202, as applicable.
