Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are not obligated to indemnify, defend, or hold Customer or its Representatives harmless with respect to any Infringement Claim to the extent the Infringement Claim arises from or is based upon (w) your or your Authorized Users' use of the Platform or Customer Microsite and /or your End Users' use of any AI Agent not in accordance with the Documentation or this Agreement; (x) any unauthorized modifications, alterations, or implementations of the Platform, Customer Microsite and/or any AI Agent made by or on behalf of Customer (other than by Company); (y) use of the Platform, Customer Microsite and/or any AI Agent in combination with unauthorized modules, apparatus, hardware, software, or services not supplied or expressly permitted in writing by us; or (z) use of the Platform, Customer Microsite and/or any AI Agent in a manner or for a purpose for which it was not designed. This Section 10.2 states Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, and our sole and exclusive liability, regarding any Infringement Claim.
- Procedure. The indemnification obligations set forth in Section 10.1 and Section 10.2 are subject to the indemnified Party: (i) promptly notifying the indemnifying Party of the Claim (provided that failure to provide prompt written notice to of such Claim will not alleviate the indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 10 to the extent any associated delay does not materially prejudice or impair the defense of the related Claim); (ii) providing the indemnifying Party, at its sole cost and expense, with reasonable cooperation in the defense of the Claim; and (iii) providing the indemnifying Party with sole control over the defense and negotiations for a settlement or compromise of the Claim, provided that the indemnifying Party may not make any admission of liability on behalf of the indemnified Party without the indemnified Party's approval.

Fees are in addition to and do not include any federal, provincial, or local sales, PST, GST, HST, VAT, foreign withholding, use, property, excise, service, or similar transaction taxes ("Taxes") now or hereafter levied, all of which will be for your account.

We will not suspend your access while you are disputing any invoiced amount due to us reasonably and in good faith and are cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute. If your access is suspended for non-payment, we may charge a re-activation fee to reinstate the access. You will promptly reimburse us for any reasonable expenses of collection, including costs, disbursements, and reasonable outside legal fees we incur, to the extent necessitated by your refusal to pay any invoiced amounts that you are not disputing in good faith.

- BINDING ARBITRATION
In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, the Platform, AI Agent, or any products or services (each, a "Dispute"), such dispute will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"). NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, EXCEPT EITHER PARTY MAY BRING ITS CLAIM IN ITS LOCAL SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF PERMITTED BY THAT SMALL CLAIMS COURT RULES AND IF WITHIN SUCH COURT'S JURISDICTION. ARBITRATION IS DIFFERENT FROM COURT, AND DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS MAY ALSO BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. All disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator selected jointly by the parties, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by JAMS pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS' Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All applicable JAMS' rules and procedures are available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. Judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in the United States county where you reside. The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent us from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect our proprietary interests.
- CLASS ACTION WAIVER
You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
- GENERAL PROVISIONS.
- Assignment. Neither Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior, written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that Company may, upon written notice to you, assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement: (i) to any of its Affiliates; or (ii) in connection with a change of control transaction (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of equity interests, sale of all or substantially all assets, or otherwise). Any assignment or other transfer in violation of this Section will be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.
- Waiver. No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement will operate, or be deemed to operate, as a waiver of any such right or remedy.
- Publicity. Except as set forth in the applicable Order Form, neither Party shall make any public announcements, press releases, or other news releases (whether in the form of news releases, advertising or solicitation materials, or blog or social media postings) related to or in connection with this Agreement nor use the other Party's name, trademarks, services marks or logos without the other Party's express written permission.
- Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles. For disputes that are not subject to binding arbitration under Section 13, each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that any legal action or suit related to this Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the State of Delaware.
- Notices. All notices that we are required to give you under this Agreement may be given via your dashboard on the Platform, and will be effective as of the date we post such notice. All notices that you are required to give us under this Agreement must be in writing and will be delivered either personally or by e-mail, national overnight courier. Notices from you will be effective upon actual delivery to and receipt by us.
- Independent Contractors. The Parties are independent contractors. Neither Party will be deemed to be an employee, agent, partner, joint venturer, or legal representative of the other Party for any purpose, and neither Party will have any right, power, or authority to obligate the other Party.
- Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same economic effect as the original provision, and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement, which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction, will be ineffective only as to that jurisdiction, and only to the extent of such unenforceability, without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.
- Force Majeure. Neither Party will be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by reasons beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of any governmental body, war, insurrection, sabotage, armed conflict, terrorism, embargo, fire, flood, strike or other labor disturbance, COVID-19, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes, unavailability of or interruption or delay in telecommunications or third-party services, or virus attacks or hackers (collectively, "Force Majeure Event"). When such Force Majeure Event arises, either Party shall notify the other immediately in writing of its failure to perform, describing the cause of failure and how it affects performance, and the anticipated duration of the inability to perform. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 13.8 shall be construed to excuse any payment obligations hereunder.
- Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Parties agree that there are no third-party beneficiaries under this Agreement.
- Complete Understanding. This Agreement together with all attached Schedules, constitutes the final and complete agreement between you and us regarding the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, or agreements between us, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements. We may modify this Agreement at any time by posting such modification on the Platform, and any such modification shall go into effect on the Last Updated date set forth in the modified Agreement. It is Customer's responsibility to check for such modifications.
