Customer grants to GatherAct a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Customer logos made available to GatherAct and pursuant to Customer's applicable logo use policies (the “logos”), provided that GatherAct strictly complies with any applicable criteria and requirements in any such policies. Customer may modify any of the logos from time to time, and GatherAct will stop using any prior version following notice of any such modification. GatherAct shall not use the logos in a manner that misrepresents its relationship with Customer or is otherwise misleading, or that reflects negatively on Customer. GatherAct will immediately discontinue use of any Customer logo immediately upon request.

If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information.

D. Injunctive Relief

Receiving Party agrees that its breach of Article III would cause the Disclosing Party irreparable injury, for which monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation, and that in addition to any other remedy, the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief against such breach or threatened breach, without proving actual damage or posting a bond or other security.

GATHERACT WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR FAILURES CAUSED BY CUSTOMER'S EQUIPMENT (OR THIRD-PARTY EQUIPMENT PROCURED BY OR ON BEHALF OF CUSTOMER), MISUSE OF THE GATHERACT PLATFORM, GATHERACT APPS, OR SERVICES, OR THE NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF CUSTOMER OR ITS USERS. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, GATHERACT MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO CUSTOMER OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY REGARDING THE GATHERACT PLATFORM, GATHERACT APPS, SERVICES, DOCUMENTATION, OR ANY OTHER ITEM OR SERVICE PROVIDED BY GATHERACT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR OTHERWISE, OR THE RESULTS TO BE DERIVED FROM THE USE THEREOF, AND GATHERACT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OF TRADE, OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE.

EACH PARTY'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF PAYMENTS PAID BY CUSTOMER TO GATHERACT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. EACH PARTY AGREES TO RELEASE THE OTHER PARTY, ITS EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY EXCEEDING THE LIMITS STATED IN ARTICLE V SECTION D, REGARDLESS OF THE REMEDY OR THEORY OF LIABILITY UNDER WHICH DAMAGES ARE SOUGHT. THE LIMITATIONS OF ARTICLE V SECTION D WILL APPLY EVEN IF REMEDIES FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS REPRESENT A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. The limitations of liability under Article IV Section D shall not apply to breach of confidentiality under Article III and indemnification obligations under Article V. If applicable law limits the application of the provisions of Article IV Section D, each party's liability will be limited to the maximum extent permissible.

ARTICLE V - INDEMNIFICATION

A. Indemnification

Each party (“Indemnitor”) agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless (collectively “indemnify” or “indemnification”) the other party (“Indemnitee”), including Indemnitee's officers, directors, shareholders, and employees (collectively “Related Persons”), from and against, and pay or reimburse Indemnitee and such Related Persons for, any and all third-party actions, claims, demands, proceedings, investigations, inquiries (collectively, “Claims”), and any and all liabilities, obligations, fines, deficiencies, costs, expenses, royalties, losses, and damages (including reasonable outside counsel fees and expenses) associated with such Claims, to the extent that such Claim(s) arises out of (1) Indemnitor's material breach of this Agreement or (2) any allegation(s) that Indemnitor's actions (or in the case of Customer, the actions of any Authorized User) (a) infringe or violate any third-party intellectual property right, including without limitation, any U.S. copyright, patent, or trademark; (b) violate publicity, privacy, or other similar rights of third parties; or (c) are otherwise found to be tortious or criminal (whether or not such indemnified person is a named party in a legal proceeding). For purposes of Article V, “third party” means a person or entity wholly unrelated to Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof and does not include any Affiliate or assignee of Indemnitee or any other person or entity under the control of or acting in concert with Indemnitee, whether directly or indirectly.

B. Notice and Defense of Claims

Indemnitee shall promptly notify Indemnitor of any Claim(s) for which indemnification is sought following actual knowledge of such Claim(s), provided however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure. In the event that any third-party Claim(s) is brought, Indemnitor may undertake and control the defense of such action with counsel of its choice, provided that (1) Indemnitee at its own expense may participate and appear on an equal footing with Indemnitor in the defense of any such Claim(s), (2) Indemnitee may undertake and control such defense in the event of the material failure of Indemnitor to undertake and control the same, and (3) the defense of any Claim(s) relating to the intellectual property rights of GatherAct or its licensors and any related counterclaims shall be solely controlled by GatherAct with counsel of its choice. Indemnitee shall not consent to judgment or concede or settle or compromise any Claim(s) without the prior written approval of Indemnitor (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such concession or settlement or compromise includes a full and unconditional release of Indemnitor and any applicable Related Persons from all liabilities in respect of such Claim(s).

C. Option to Provide Replacement

In the event that GatherAct's right to provide access to the GatherAct Platform is enjoined or in GatherAct's reasonable opinion is likely to be enjoined, GatherAct may obtain the right to continue providing access to the GatherAct Platform, replace or modify it so that it becomes non-infringing, or, if such remedies are not reasonably available, either party may terminate this Agreement, in which case GatherAct shall pay to Customer a prorated refund of any amounts prepaid by Customer for any use of GatherAct Platform or unperformed Services resulting from termination under Article V. In the event GatherAct must terminate this Agreement under Article V, GatherAct shall provide Customer with as much written notice as reasonably practicable prior to the effective date of such termination.

ARTICLE VI - TERM; TERMINATION

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Customer remains liable for Subscription Fees and is not entitled to any refunds of prepaid Subscription Fees in connection with any termination. Articles III through VII and any other provision which by its nature should survive expiration or termination of this Agreement shall survive expiration or termination.
