2.2
Customer may terminate use of the Hosted Services at any time for any reason or no reason by ceasing to use the Hosted Services.
2.3
Tempo may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Customer if Customer breaches a material provision of this Agreement and fails to cure the breach within thirty (30) days following such notice. Notwithstanding the above, Tempo may terminate this Agreement immediately after providing written notice to Customer if Customer Tempo an un-curable provision of this Agreement such as, but not limited to, the provisions regarding reverse engineering, disassembly, decompilation or confidentiality.
2.4
Upon termination of this Agreement, (a) Customer will immediately cease all use of the Hosted Services; and (b) Tempo will delete any confidential information of Customer then on Tempo’s servers; provided that, if termination occurs for any reason other than Customer’s breach, Tempo may retain such information subject to Tempo and Customer agreeing separately on the terms under which Tempo would retain such information. Termination of this Agreement will not prevent either party from pursuing all available legal remedies that accrued prior to termination, nor will it relieve Customer of any obligation to make payments that accrued prior to termination.

3. Payments
Customer agrees to pay Tempo all amounts required to be paid (a) upon placing an electronic order for a license, or (b) under the terms of any signed agreement between Customer and Tempo governing Customer's use of the Hosted Services. No failure by Tempo to request any payment or to demand any performance will be deemed a waiver by Tempo or a waiver of Tempo’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
4. Equipment
Customer shall, at its own cost and expense, provide all equipment, operating systems, and software (including Web browser) needed to use and access the Hosted Services in accordance with the technical requirements in Tempo’s documentation. Customer shall also provide, at its own cost and expense, all connections from its computer systems to the Hosted Services.
5. Confidentiality
The Hosted Services contain certain information that Tempo considers either proprietary, confidential, or both (collectively, "Confidential Information"). In addition, during the term of this Agreement Tempo may also disclose to Customer certain other Confidential Information. Customer will hold Tempo’s Confidential Information in confidence and will use its best efforts to protect it. Customer will use such Confidential Information for the sole purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement. Customer will not disclose Confidential Information to any person other than, in the case of a Customer that is an entity, employees and independent contractors of Customer who need to know such Confidential Information in order to carry out the terms of this Agreement and who are bound by a written confidentiality agreement with Customer that is no less protective of such Confidential Information than this Agreement. Upon request of Tempo, Customer will provide Tempo with reasonable evidence of such written confidentiality agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, Customer will either return to Tempo all Confidential Information in its possession (including all copies) or will, at Tempo’s direction, destroy all Confidential Information (including all copies) and Customer (or in the case of a Customer that is an entity, an officer of Customer) will certify its destruction to Tempo. The foregoing obligations of confidentiality and non-use will not apply to any Confidential Information that Customer can show, by competent evidence: (a) is publicly known at the time of disclosure or enters the public domain following disclosure through no fault of Customer; or (b) Customer can demonstrate was already in its possession without restriction prior to disclosure under this Agreement. Customer may disclose Confidential Information upon the order of any competent court or government agency, provided that, prior to such disclosure Customer will, unless prohibited by law, inform Tempo of such order and provide Tempo with reasonable assistance to prevent or limit such disclosure. Customer agrees that its obligations under this Article are necessary and reasonable in order to protect Tempo and its business, and that monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate Tempo for any breach by Customer of such obligations. Accordingly, Customer agrees and acknowledges that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to Tempo and that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise, Tempo will be entitled to seek injunctive relief against the continued breach or threatened breach of Customer's obligations under this Section 5 without the necessity of proving actual damages.
