7.2 Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately by written notice if no Order Form(s) is in effect.

7.3 Partner agrees that, if Grafana Labs determines, in its sole discretion, that Partner has: (a) breached any term, condition or restriction of this Agreement, or is in breach of its privacy policy or an end-user customer contract; (b) developed the Plug-In or other software which poses any security or performance risk to any system, network, hardware, software, or technology of Grafana Labs or its suppliers or end-user customers; (c) taken any action, or engaged in any conduct, which presents a risk of liability to, or violation of law by, Grafana Labs; or (d) through its activities or conduct under this Agreement, gives rise to actual or potential harm or other negative impact on Grafana Labs’ business, operations or technology, then, in any such event, without limiting Grafana Labs’ right to terminate this Agreement, Grafana Labs may suspend and/or remove the Plug-In listing from Grafana.com catalog, without any further additional liability or obligations (including any obligation to refund any of the Fees). Additionally, in any event which would give rise to a right of suspension or removal by Grafana Labs under this Section 7.3, or in the event otherwise requested by Grafana Labs for any similarly legitimate reason, Grafana Labs may require Partner to disable the interoperability of the Plug-In with the applicable products or services in accordance with instructions provided by Grafana Labs or, alternatively, Grafana Labs may so disable such interoperability.

If Grafana Labs determines that a violation of this Agreement or a dispute/issue with an end-user customer of Grafana Labs can be remedied by Partner’s modification to its Plug-In and/or its associated integration elements, then Grafana Labs (without obligation) may elect to afford Partner an opportunity to promptly remedy the violation or issue and, if so, Partner shall diligently work to promptly remedy the problem. At any time, however, Grafana Labs may step in and take the actions contemplated herein.

CONFIDENTIALITY. “Confidential Information” means all confidential and proprietary information that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure, including this Agreement (including pricing and other terms reflected in an Order Form(s)). Partner shall not use or disclose any Confidential Information except as expressly authorized in this Agreement and shall protect the Confidential Information using the same degree of care that it uses with respect to its own confidential information, but in no event with safeguards less than a reasonably prudent business would exercise under similar circumstances. Partner will return or destroy all Confidential Information on request.
