Each party will use the same degree of care to protect the other party's Confidential Information as it uses to protect its own confidential information of like nature, but in no circumstances less than reasonable care. Neither party will disclose the other party's Confidential Information to any person or entity other than its officers, principals, employees and subcontractors who need access to such Confidential Information in order to effect the intent of the Agreement and who are bound by confidentiality terms no less restrictive than those in the Agreement. 5.2 Exceptions.

If Nimsoft is unable to meet this level of Uptime in any month, Customer must submit a request for credit, and Nimsoft will provide to Customer a service credit for the downtime (a "Service Credit"). Service Provider will receive a Service Credit equal to ten percent (10%) of the applicable Subscription fees for the month in which the outage event(s) occurred for every one percent (1%) that Uptime falls below 99.9%, up to a maximum of fifty percent (50%) of the applicable Subscription fees for that month. In order to receive a Service Credit, Service Provider must submit a request to Nimsoft within fifteen (15) days following the month in which the outage event(s) occurred.

The Service Credits set forth in this Section 6.1 are Service Provider's sole and exclusive remedy for not achieving the Uptime levels herein. 6.2 Downtime. Scheduled and unscheduled interruptions may occur, and Nimsoft does not warrant uninterrupted availability of the System. Normal software or hardware upgrades are scheduled for nights and weekends, Pacific Standard Time, and designed to cause a minimum amount of interruption to Services and System availability. Service Provider will be notified of scheduled interruptions in advance. In the event that an unscheduled interruption occurs, Nimsoft will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the problem and return the System to availability as soon as practical. During these scheduled and unscheduled interruptions, Service Provider may be unable to transmit and receive data through the Services. Service Provider agrees to cooperate with Nimsoft during the scheduled and unscheduled interruptions if assistance from Service Provider is necessary in order to restore the System to working order. 6.3 Changes.
