6. Confidentiality. Each Party (the “Receiving Party”) shall keep strictly confidential all Confidential Information of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”), shall not use such Confidential Information except for the purposes of this Agreement, and shall not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party other than disclosure on a need-to-know basis to the Receiving Party’s directors, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants, subcontractors, or other representatives who are each subject to obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as those herein (“Authorized Representatives”). The Receiving Party shall use at least the same degree of care as it uses to prevent disclosure of its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party may, without violating the obligations of this Agreement, disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by a valid court or government order, provided that the Receiving Party: (a) to the extent legally permitted, provides the Disclosing Party with reasonable prior written notice of such disclosure and (b) uses reasonable efforts to limit disclosure and to obtain, or to assist the Disclosing Party in obtaining, confidential treatment or a protective order preventing or limiting the disclosure, while allowing the Disclosing Party to participate in the proceeding. “Confidential Information” means (i) in the case of Palantir, Palantir Technology (including any information relating thereto); (ii) in the case of Customer, Customer Data; and (iii) any other information which by the nature of the information disclosed or the manner of its disclosure would be understood by a reasonable person to be confidential, in each case, in any form (including without limitation electronic or oral) and whether furnished before, on, or after the Effective Date; provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include any information that (1) is or becomes part of the public domain through no act or omission of the Receiving Party or its Authorized Representatives; (2) is known to the Receiving Party at the earlier of the Effective Date or the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party (as evidenced by written records) without an obligation to keep it confidential; (3) was rightfully disclosed to the Receiving Party prior to the Effective Date from another source without any breach of confidentiality by the third party discloser and without restriction on disclosure or use; or (4) the Receiving Party can document by written evidence that such information was independently developed without any use of or reference to Confidential Information.

The Receiving Party’s obligations with respect to Confidential Information shall survive termination of this Agreement for five (5) years, provided that the Receiving Party’s obligations hereunder shall survive termination and continue in perpetuity, or as long as permitted by applicable law, with respect to any Confidential Information that is a trade secret under applicable law.
7. Fees and Payment; Taxes. The Service is deemed delivered upon the provision of access to Customer or for Customer’s benefit.

Any usage-based fees set forth in an Order Form, including if payable in excess of any applicable included usage specified in an Order Form, will be calculated in accordance with the usage rates set forth in the Order Form (as applicable) and invoiced and payable quarterly in arrears, or as otherwise set forth in an Order Form.

8. Term and Termination; Suspension.
8.1 Term. Unless specified otherwise in the Order Form, this Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and shall continue in effect for six (6) months from the date of expiration of the last to expire Order Form, unless otherwise terminated as provided herein (the "Term"). The term of each Order Form shall continue for the duration set forth in the Order Form (the “Order Term”), unless otherwise terminated as provided herein.
8.2 Termination for Cause. Without limiting either Party’s other rights, either Party may terminate this Agreement for cause (a) in the event of any material breach by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement and failure to remedy the breach (and provide reasonable written notice of such remedy to the non-breaching Party) within thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach from the non-breaching Party or (b) if the other Party seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceeding or such proceeding is instituted against that Party and not dismissed within ninety (90) days. Except where an exclusive remedy is specified in this Agreement, the exercise by either Party of the right to terminate under this provision shall be without prejudice to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or by law. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Customer for cause pursuant to Section 8.2(a), Palantir shall provide a pro-rated refund of any fees pre-paid for the Service after the effective date of termination.
8.3 Effect of Termination.

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, if requested by Customer, Customer shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, have access to the Service for thirty (30) days solely for the purpose of retrieving Customer Data.

No termination or expiration of this Agreement shall limit or affect rights or obligations that accrued prior to the effective date of termination or expiration (including without limitation payment obligations). Sections 1, 4 (excluding Section 4.5), 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, and 14 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

9. Indemnification.
9.1 Palantir Indemnification. Palantir shall defend Customer against any claim of infringement or violation of any Intellectual Property Rights asserted against Customer by a third party based upon Customer’s use of Palantir Technology in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and indemnify and hold harmless Customer from and against reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees, and damages, if any, finally awarded against Customer pursuant to a non-appealable order by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction in such claim or settlement entered into by Palantir. If Customer’s use of any of the Palantir Technology is, or in Palantir’s opinion is likely to be, enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction due to the type of infringement specified above, or if required by settlement approved by Palantir in writing, Palantir may, in its sole discretion: (a) substitute substantially functionally similar products or services; (b) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Palantir Technology; or (c) if Palantir reasonably determines that options (a) and (b) are commercially impracticable, terminate this Agreement and refund to Customer a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder for the terminated Service that reflects the remaining portion of the Order Terms of any Order Forms in effect at the time of termination. The foregoing indemnification obligations of Palantir shall not apply: (i) if Palantir Technology is modified by or at the direction of Customer or Users, but only to the extent the alleged infringement would not have occurred but for such modification; (ii) if Palantir Technology is combined with non-Palantir products not authorized by Palantir, but only to the extent the alleged infringement would not have occurred but for such combination; (iii) to any unauthorized use of Palantir Technology, any use that is not consistent with the Documentation, any use that violates Section 4 (Acceptable Use), or use during any period of suspension (as set forth in Section 8.4); (iv) to any Customer Data; or (v) to any non-Palantir products or services.
9.2 Customer Indemnification. Customer shall defend Palantir against any third party claim asserted against Palantir arising from or relating to (a) Customer’s violation of applicable law, (b) Customer Data, (c) Customer’s breach of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), (d) Customer’s breach of Section 5.3 (Restrictions), or (e) any Customer-offered product or service (except if such claim is primarily attributable to the Service as offered by Palantir) and indemnify and hold harmless Palantir from and against related costs, attorneys’ fees, and damages, if any, finally awarded against Palantir pursuant to a non-appealable order by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction in such claim or settlement entered into by Customer.
9.3 Indemnification Procedure. The obligations of the indemnifying Party shall be conditioned upon the indemnified Party providing the indemnifying Party with: (a) prompt written notice (in no event to exceed twenty (20) days) of any claim, suit, or demand of which it becomes aware; (b) the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter that is subject to indemnification (provided that the indemnifying Party will not settle any claim unless it unconditionally releases the indemnified Party of all liability and does not admit fault or wrongdoing by the indemnified Party, unless the indemnified Party otherwise consents in writing); and (c) cooperation with any reasonable requests assisting the indemnifying Party’s defense and settlement (at the indemnifying Party’s expense). This Section sets forth each Party’s sole liability and obligation and the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any claim of Intellectual Property Rights infringement.
10. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer.
10.1 Palantir Warranty.

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer-selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a pro-rated refund of any fees pre-paid for the Services after the effective date of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”
ITALY AND SPAIN

“8.4 Suspension of Service. If Palantir reasonably believes that: (a) the signatory to the Order Form does not have authorization to bind Customer to this Agreement on Customer’s behalf (in violation of the express representation and warranty in the preamble of this Agreement), (b) Customer’s use of the Service violates applicable law or otherwise violates a material term of this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 3.2 (Data Protection), Section 4 (Acceptable Use), Section 5.3 (Restrictions), Section 6 (Confidentiality), and Section 7 (Fees and Payment)), (c) Customer does not satisfy the Trade Compliance Requirements, or (d) Customer has breached any of the warranties set forth in Section 11, Palantir reserves the right to disable or suspend Customer’s access to all or any part of the Palantir Technology, subject to Palantir providing Customer notice of such suspension concurrent or prior to such suspension. Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied. Should Customer fail to remedy the breach within the assigned term, then Palantir shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement. In all other cases, the notice of suspension delivered by Palantir shall be intended as an immediate termination notice.”

“4.1 Applicable Laws. Customer shall ensure that Customer’s access and use of the Service and Website, will not violate applicable laws of the United States or other laws applicable to Customer.

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer-selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Order Terms of any Order Forms in effect at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”
ITALY AND SPAIN
1. Suspension of Service. Section 8.4 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“8.4 Suspension of Service. If Palantir reasonably believes that: (a) the signatory to the Order Form does not have authorization to bind Customer to this Agreement on Customer’s behalf (in violation of the express representation and warranty in the preamble of this Agreement), (b) Customer’s use of the Service or Website violates applicable law or otherwise violates a material term of this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 3.2 (Data Protection), Section 4 (Acceptable Use), Section 5.3 (Restrictions), Section 6 (Confidentiality), and Section 7 (Fees and Payment)), (c) Customer does not satisfy the Trade Compliance Requirements, or (d) Customer has breached any of the warranties set forth in Section 11, Palantir reserves the right to disable or suspend Customer’s access to all or any part of the Website and/or the Palantir Technology, subject to Palantir providing Customer notice of such suspension concurrent or prior to such suspension. Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied. Should Customer fail to remedy the breach within the assigned term, then Palantir shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement. In all other cases, the notice of suspension delivered by Palantir shall be intended as an immediate termination notice.”
2. Burdensome Terms. A new Section 15 shall be added to the Terms of Service and contain the following:
“15. Burdensome Terms.

Without limiting either Party’s other rights, either Party may terminate this Agreement for cause (a) in the event of any material breach by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement (including the non-payment of fees) and failure to remedy the breach (and provide reasonable written notice of such remedy to the non-breaching Party) within thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach from the non-breaching Party, (b) in the event of any non-curable material breach of this Agreement by the other Party, or (c) to the extent permissible under applicable law, if the other Party seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceeding or such proceeding is instituted against that Party and not dismissed within ninety (90) days.

No waiver of any breach shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach. Except for the obligation to pay money, neither Party will be liable for any failure or delay under this Agreement due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of war, acts of God, earthquake, flood, embargo, riot, sabotage, labor shortage or dispute, governmental act, or failure of the Internet, telecommunications, or hosting service provider, computer attacks, or malicious acts; provided that the delayed Party: (a) gives the other Party prompt notice of such cause; and (b) uses commercially reasonable efforts promptly to correct such failure or delay in performance. There are no third party beneficiaries under this Agreement, whether express or implied. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a joint venture, employment, partnership, strategic alliance, formal alliance, or strategic partnership relationship between the Parties. This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the Parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements and communications relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between these Terms of Service and any Order Forms or exhibit, the terms of such Order Form or exhibit will prevail. Palantir is in no way affiliated with, or endorsed or sponsored by, The Saul Zaentz Company d.b.a. Tolkien Enterprises or the Estate of J.R.R. Tolkien.

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”
ITALY AND SPAIN
1. Suspension of Services. Section 8.4 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:

If Palantir reasonably believes that: (a) the signatory to the Order Form does not have authorization to bind Customer to this Agreement on Customer’s behalf (in violation of the express representation and warranty in the preamble of this Agreement); (b) Customer’s use of the Service or Website violates applicable law or otherwise violates a material term of this Agreement (including Section 3.2 (Data Protection), Section 4 (Acceptable Use), Section 5.3 (Restrictions), Section 6 (Confidentiality), and Section 7 (Fees and Payment)); (c) Customer does not satisfy the Trade Compliance Requirements; or (d) Customer has breached any of the warranties set forth in Section 11, Palantir reserves the right to disable or suspend Customer’s access to all or any part of the Website and/or the Palantir Technology, subject to Palantir providing Customer notice of such suspension concurrent or prior to such suspension. Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied. Should Customer fail to remedy the breach within the assigned term, then Palantir shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement. In all other cases, the notice of suspension delivered by Palantir shall be intended as an immediate termination notice.”

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”
ITALY AND SPAIN

Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied. Should Customer fail to remedy the breach within the assigned term, then Palantir shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement.

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”
ITALY AND SPAIN
1. Suspension of Services. Section 8.4 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“8.4. Suspension of Services.

Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied. Should Customer fail to remedy the breach within the assigned term, then Palantir shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement. In all other cases, the notice of suspension delivered by Palantir shall be intended as an immediate termination notice.”

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”

Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied.

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”

Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied.

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”

Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied.

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”

Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied.

2. Palantir Warranty and Disclaimer. Section 10.1 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following, and Section 10.2 of the Terms of Service shall renumbered as Section 10.7:
“10. Palantir Warranty.
10.1 Palantir shall ensure the functional and operational performance of the Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In particular, (a) the Service will be provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and (b) the Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner during the Term. Subject to the subsequent clauses, Customer’s rights to make a warranty claim in case of faults shall be as if the statutory regulations on warranty (in particular, warranty rules of tenancy law under German law) apply.
10.2 This warranty shall not apply (i) in the case of only insignificant deviation from the agreed quality or only insignificant impairment of the usability of the Service; (ii) if Customer does not report a defect immediately and Palantir was unable to remedy the defect as a result of the failure to report the defect immediately; or (iii) if Customer is aware of the defect at the time of conclusion of the contract and has not reserved his rights.
10.3 Further, this warranty shall not apply to the extent (i) a breach of the warranty is caused by any incorrect use of the Service by Customer, (ii) such breach is caused by Customer’s misuse or unauthorized modification of the Service, (iii) such breach is caused by any use of the Service contrary to any conditions of use provided for the Service and specified in the applicable Documentation, (iv) such breach is caused by any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use), and (v) to the extent such breach is caused by any use of Customer selected hardware or software used in connection with the Service which is not suitable for the use with the Service.
10.4 Insofar as a defect has been reported by the Customer and the Customer's warranty claims are not excluded, Palantir is obliged to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time - through measures of its own choice. Customer shall give Palantir reasonable time and opportunity to remedy the defect. Palantir's employees and agents shall be granted free access to Customer's systems for this purpose, insofar as this is necessary.
10.5 In the event of impossibility or failure to remedy the defect, culpable or unreasonable delay or serious and final refusal to remedy the defect by Palantir or in other cases in which the remedy of the defect would be unreasonable for the Customer, the Customer shall in particular be entitled to reduce the fee owed in accordance with the extent of the impairment (“Minderung”). The user is not entitled to assert a claim for reduction by independently deducting the amount of the reduction from the fee to be paid on an ongoing basis; the user's right under the law of enrichment (“bereicherungsrechtlicher Anspruch”) to reclaim the overpaid part of the fee remains unaffected by this.
10.6 In case Palantir has, in the event of a breach of the warranty, not been able to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time as set out above, Customer may give Palantir written notice of termination of this Agreement, which termination will be effective thirty (30) days after Palantir’s receipt of the notice, unless Palantir is able to remedy the breach prior to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Customer’s exercise of its right under this Section, Customer shall be entitled to receive from Palantir, a refund of a pro-rated portion of the fees paid hereunder that reflects the remaining portion of the Term (or, Initial Term or Renewal Term, if and as applicable) active at the time of termination. The Customer’s right to claim damages in accordance with this Agreement remains unaffected.“
3. Limitations of Liability. Section 12 of the Terms of Service shall be replaced with the following:
“12. Limitations of Liability. In all cases of contractual and non-contractual liability, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to damages or replacement of futile expenses only to the following extent:
12.1 In the event of intent or gross negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be in line with and not exceed the limits permitted according to the statutory provisions. The same shall apply in the event of culpably caused damages resulting from an injury to life, body or health, in the event of damages resulting from a guarantee as to quality (“Beschaffenheitsgarantie”), as well as in the event of defaults concealed fraudulently (“arglistig verschwiegende Mängel”).
12.2 In an event of slight negligence, Palantir’s liability shall be limited to breaches of a contractual core duty. A contractual core duty is an obligation whose fulfilment makes the implementation of an agreement possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the contractual partner may therefore generally rely. Liability in case of slightly negligent infringement of any such contractual core duty shall be limited to the amount of damage which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and typical taking into account the nature of the contract (“vorhersehbarer und vertragstypischer Schaden”).
12.3 The above liability restrictions shall also apply in favour of the representatives, employees and vicarious agents of Palantir.
12.4 The above liability restrictions shall not apply to applicable mandatory statutory liability provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement.
12.5 Any liability of Palantir for lost data shall be limited to compensatory damages in the amount necessary for restoration of the data using electronic backup media. The obligation of Customer to back-up data on a regular basis according to the state of the art shall remain unaffected thereby.
12.6 All other liability shall be excluded.”
ITALY AND SPAIN

Section 8.2 (a) above shall apply in case the reason of the suspension is a breach capable of being remedied. Should Customer fail to remedy the breach within the assigned term, then Palantir shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement. In all other cases, the notice of suspension delivered by Palantir shall be intended as an immediate termination notice.”
