  1. TERM AND TERMINATION.

9.1 Term.  The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) will commence on the date User first accesses the Application, Website, or Services (whichever is first) and continue until User ceases its use of the Service or the Agreement is terminated earlier per the terms below.

10.2 Exclusions.  Neither Party will have any indemnification obligations under this Agreement as to any claim, suit or proceeding unless: a.) the Party to be indemnified promptly notifies the indemnifying Party in writing of such claim, suit or proceeding (except that the indemnified Party’s failure to provide the indemnifying Party with prompt notice of any such claim only shall relieve the indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations to the extent that its ability to defend the indemnified Party against such claim is materially prejudiced by such failure); b.) the indemnifying Party has sole control of its defense and settlement; and c.) the indemnified Party, upon request of the indemnifying Party, cooperates in all reasonable respects; provided, however, that the indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in such claim, suit or proceeding.  No settlement of a claim, investigation, suit, or other proceeding that involves a remedy other than the payment of money will be entered into by the indemnifying Party without the consent of the indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

11.5 Force Majeure.  Company shall not be liable hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations on account of events beyond its reasonable control, which may include without limitation denial-of-service attacks, strikes, shortages, riots, insurrection, fires, flood, storm, explosions, acts of God, war, terrorism, governmental action, labor conditions, earthquakes and material shortages (each a “Force Majeure Event”).  Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, Company will be excused from any further performance of its obligations effected by the Force Majeure Event for so long as the event continues and Company continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance.

 

11.6 Compliance with Laws.  User agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to its activities hereunder, including, but not limited to, any export laws and regulations of the United States.  To the extent any export laws, rules or regulations prohibit Company from complying with any of its obligations hereunder, such failure shall be excused and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

 

11.7 Relationship Between the Parties.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between the Parties.  Neither Party will have the power to bind the other or to incur obligations on the other’s behalf without such other Party’s prior written consent.

11.10 Non-Exclusive Remedies.  Unless expressly set forth as an exclusive and/or sole remedy, the exercise by either Party of any remedy under this Agreement will be without prejudice to its other remedies under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

11.11 Equitable Relief.  Each Party acknowledges that a breach by the other Party of any confidentiality or proprietary rights provision of this Agreement may cause the non-breaching Party irreparable damage, for which the award of damages would not be adequate compensation.  Consequently, the non-breaching Party may institute an action to enjoin the breaching Party from any and all acts in violation of those provisions, which remedy shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and a Party may seek the entry of an injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of those provisions, in addition to any other relief to which the non-breaching Party may be entitled at law or in equity.

 

11.12 Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the signatories and is not intended to benefit any third-party except as expressly stated herein.

This Agreement may not be amended in any other way except through a written agreement by authorized representatives of each party. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.14, Company may revise the privacy and acceptable use policies at any time by posting a new version at the website, and such new version will become effective on the date it is posted.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information may be disclosed as required by any governmental agency, provided that before disclosing such information the disclosing Party must provide the non-disclosing Party with sufficient advance notice of the agency’s request for the information to enable the non-disclosing Party to exercise any rights it may have to challenge or limit the agency’s authority to receive such Confidential Information.
