7.3 Third-Party Services

Markviss is not liable for service interruptions, data loss, or errors caused by third-party providers (including AWS), internet connectivity issues, or force majeure events. Markviss will, however, use commercially reasonable efforts to select reliable third-party service providers and to restore service promptly.

8. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

The notification shall include the nature of the breach, the categories and approximate number of data subjects and personal data records concerned, the likely consequences, and the measures taken or proposed to mitigate the breach.

10.5 Sub-Processors

Markviss shall maintain a list of sub-processors and shall notify the Customer of any intended addition or replacement of sub-processors. The Customer shall have the right to object to a new sub-processor on reasonable grounds within fourteen (14) days of notification. If the parties cannot resolve the objection, the Customer may terminate this Agreement.

11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All intellectual property rights in the SaaS Services, Software, and Documentation, including any modifications, improvements, and derivative works, remain the exclusive property of Markviss. Nothing in this Agreement transfers any intellectual property rights to the Customer beyond the limited license granted in Section 2.1.

Markviss shall indemnify the Customer against any third-party claim that the SaaS Services, as provided by Markviss and used in accordance with this Agreement, infringe any intellectual property right, provided the Customer promptly notifies Markviss and grants Markviss sole control of the defense.
