5 Confidentiality
As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all confidential and proprietary information
of a party (the “Disclosing Party”) disclosed to the other party (the “Receiving Party”), whether
orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood
to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure,
including the terms and conditions of this Agreement, pricing and other terms reflected in the
applicable Plan hereunder, the Services, business and marketing plans, technology and
technical information, product designs, and business processes. Confidential Information shall
not include any information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without
breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (ii) was known to the Receiving Party
before its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the
Disclosing Party; (iii) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without breach of
any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (iv) is received from a third party without
breach of any obligation by the Receiving Party or such third party owed to the Disclosing
Party.
The Receiving Party shall not disclose or use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing
Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, except with the Disclosing Party’s
prior written permission.
Each party agrees to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other
party in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its proprietary and confidential
information of like kind (but in no event using less than reasonable care).
If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of the
Disclosing Party, it shall provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such compelled
disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing
Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.
If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential
Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of confidentiality protections in this Agreement,
the Disclosing Party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to
seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the parties that
any other available remedies may be inadequate.
6 Cancellation and Termination
You are solely responsible for the proper cancellation of your account. You may cancel your
account at any time by going to Settings and closing your account. Closing your account will
not end your Smoothly Service subscription.
In the event of cancellation or termination, your account will be immediately disabled, and
your account and information cannot be recovered once the account is closed. We retain the
right to retain or delete data provided to us by you at our sole discretion.
We also reserve the right but do not have any obligation, to refuse service to anyone and
close your account(s) without notice for any or no reason at all.
7 Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any demands, loss, liability, claims or
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) made against us by any third party due to or arising out
of or in connection with your use of Smoothly.
8 Representations and Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we provide Smoothly on an “as is” and “as

9 Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you assume full responsibility for and we disclaim
liability to you for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, or punitive damages,
including lost profits, even if we had been advised of the possibility of such damages.
We disclaim any liability for the acts, omissions, and conduct of any third parties related to
your use of Smoothly and any linked sites and services. Your sole remedy against us for
dissatisfaction with Smoothly is to stop using Smoothly. This limitation of relief is a part of the
bargain between you and us. The preceding disclaimer applies to any damages, liability, or
injuries whether for breach of contract, tort, negligence, or any other cause of action.
If notwithstanding the other provisions of the Terms, we are found to be liable to you for any
damage or loss which arises out of or is in any way connected with your use of the Website or
any of our Services, our liability shall not exceed what you paid us for the Services in the
previous months. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability, so the foregoing
limitation may not apply to you.

without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that any dispute arising from or
relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Use shall be governed by the exclusive

results from any cause beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation,
mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation (including ‘line-noise’
interference).
