8.1 Confidential Information. From time to time during the Term of this Agreement, either Party (as the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose or make available to the other Party (as the “Receiving Party”), non-public proprietary and confidential information of Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”); provided, however, that Confidential Information does not include any information that: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of Receiving Party’s breach of this Section; (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third-party source, provided that such third party is not and was not prohibited from disclosing such Confidential Information; (c) was in Receiving Party’s possession prior to Disclosing Party’s disclosure hereunder; or (d) was or is independently developed by Receiving Party without using any Confidential Information. For clarification purposes, all Crew pricing information and other terms of an Order shall be the Confidential Information of Crew. Employer acknowledges that Crew does not wish to receive any Confidential Information from Employer that is not necessary for Crew to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and, unless the Parties specifically agree otherwise, Crew may reasonably presume that any unrelated information received from Employer is not Confidential Information.
8.2 Non-Disclosure/Non-Use. The Receiving Party shall: (a) protect and safeguard the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care as the Receiving Party would protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable degree of care; (b) not use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or permit it to be accessed or used, for any purpose other than to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement; and (c) not disclose any such Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the Receiving Party’s representatives who need to know the Confidential Information to assist the Receiving Party, or act on its behalf, to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement. If the Receiving Party is required by applicable law or legal process to disclose any Confidential Information, it shall, prior to making such disclosure, use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Disclosing Party of such requirements to afford Disclosing Party the opportunity to seek, at Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense, a protective order or other remedy. Notwithstanding the above, Crew may use for development, diagnostic and corrective purposes any data and information it collects relating to the Services. Each Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years from the date of such expiration or termination, even after the return or destruction of Confidential Information by the Receiving Party. Notwithstanding the above, the survival period for Confidential Information that qualifies as trade secrets will last as long as the information qualifies as a trade secret under applicable federal, state or local law.
9.1 Term. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Agreement, this Agreement will continue in effect for the period set forth in the applicable Order or SOW (the “Term”).
9.2 Termination. In addition to any other express termination right set forth elsewhere in this Agreement:

IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF CREW UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ITS SUBJECT MATTER, UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY AND OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY EMPLOYER TO CREW IN THE 6 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE ACTION OR CLAIM. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION APPLIES NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

14.10 Arbitration
14.10a Scope, Governing Rules. The Parties agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall exclusively be determined by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (“Commercial Rules”). The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, including its procedural provisions, fully applies.
14.10b No Class Actions. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS OF SERVICE WILL ONLY BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, COLLECTIVE ACTIONS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR CASE DECIDED BY A JURY AND YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTION AGAINST CREW.
14.10c Selection of Tribunal. There shall be one arbitrator (“Arbitrator”) agreed to by the parties within twenty (20) days of receipt by respondent of the request for arbitration or in default thereof appointed by the AAA in accordance with its Commercial Rules. The Arbitrator shall be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Terms of Service are enforceable, unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
14.10d Authority of Tribunal, Judicial Review. The Arbitrator’s award will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each of the parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration and shall not (without the prior written consent of the other party) disclose to any third party the fact, existence, content, award, or other result of the arbitration, except as may be necessary to enforce, enter, or challenge such award in a court of competent jurisdiction or as otherwise required by applicable law. While an arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief, the Arbitrator may do so only with respect to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual party’s claim. The Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon will not have a precedential or collateral estoppel effect.
14.10e Seat of Arbitration. Any arbitration hearing will occur in San Francisco, California, at another mutually agreeable location or, if both parties agree, by telephone or videoconference.
14.10f Arbitration Fees. In accordance with the AAA Rules, the party initiating the arbitration (either you or us) is responsible for paying the applicable filing fee. For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to you and Crew also include respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors, successors and assigns as well as authorized users or beneficiaries of the Services.
