  1. Right to Participate in Limited Availability Program. Zuora, Inc.

Participant understands that this feature is not yet generally available, is still under development and may not ever be commercially released. The Pre-Release Functionality is provided solely under the terms of this Agreement and is not subject to the terms of Participant’s Master Subscription Agreement or any other agreement with Zuora (e.g., the support, SLA, warranty, security or any other terms applicable to Zuora’s subscription Service). Zuora reserves the right to enhance or otherwise change the Pre-Release Functionality.

2(b). Participant agrees to use, test, and evaluate thie Pre-Release Functionality and provide feedback to Zuora regarding the Pre-Release Functionality on a regular basis.

  1. Term and Termination. If Participant accesses or uses Pre-Release Functionality, then the term of this Agreement commences on the date when Participant first accesses the Pre-Release Functionality and ends at Zuora’s sole discretion by providing Participant with at least five (5) days prior notice. Zuora will not have any obligations or liability with respect to data remaining on the Pre-Release Functionality, if any, after termination.

  1. No Warranty or Damages. THE PRE-RELEASE FUNCTIONALITY IS PROVIDED “AS-IS,” EXCLUSIVE OF ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER. ZUORA DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE PRE-RELEASE FUNCTIONALITY CONTAINS BUGS AND/OR ERRORS AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR PRODUCTION USE. IN NO EVENT SHALL ZUORA’S AND ITS LICENSORS AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, IN NO EVENT WILL ZUORA BE LIABLE TO PARICIPANT FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR SIMILAR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRE-RELEASE FUNCTIONALITY EVEN IF ZUORA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
