2. Customer Responsibilities.
2.1. General. Customer is responsible and liable for all uses of the Software, Documentation, or other services provided by ASI resulting from access provided by Customer, directly or indirectly, whether such access or use is permitted by or in violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) Customer is responsible for all acts and omissions of Authorized Users, and any act or omission by an Authorized User that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if taken by Customer will be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Customer; and (b) Customer shall be solely responsible for any and all activities made under Customer’s account that are a result of Customer’s negligence, including, but not limited to, exceeding the agreed-upon number of Authorized Users. Customer shall use reasonable efforts to make all Authorized Users aware of the provisions of this Agreement as applicable to such Authorized User’s use of the Software, and shall cause Authorized Users to comply with such provisions.
2.2. Security Responsibility. Customer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the user names, password(s), or other access credentials assigned to, or selected by, Customer and its Authorized Users (the “Credentials”). Customer, on behalf of itself and its Authorized Users, agrees that the Credentials shall not be shared with anyone. Customer agrees to immediately notify ASI if a password is lost, stolen, disclosed to an unauthorized third-party, or has otherwise been compromised.
2.3. Third-Party Products. ASI may from time to time make Third-Party Products available to Customer. For purposes of this Agreement, such Third-Party Products are subject to their own terms and conditions and may include applicable flow-through provisions referred.
