Although Vendor makes reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the Vendor Offerings, Client acknowledges that Vendor and its licensors, as well as its and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, and agents (collectively the “Vendor Protected Parties”) will not be held liable for any damages suffered or incurred by Client or any third person arising out of: (a) any faults, interruptions, or delays in the Vendor Offerings or their delivery; (b) any use of or reliance on the Vendor Offerings by any person; or (c) any inaccuracies, errors, or omissions in the Vendor Offerings, however such faults, interruptions, delays, inaccuracies, errors or omissions arise, unless due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Vendor. The Vendor Protected Parties do not guarantee the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of the information obtained from the Vendor Offerings, nor warrant any results from using the Content, Product, or Services. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE VENDOR OFFERINGS ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS,” AND THE VENDOR PROTECTED PARTIES DO NOT MAKE, AND CLIENT DOES NOT RECEIVE, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY (REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH WARRANTY IS EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE) REGARDING THE VENDOR OFFERINGS. THE WARRANTIES STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. THE VENDOR PROTECTED PARTIES DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES (EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE) TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
     
  25. Confidentiality. Each party acknowledges that the other party may disclose its Confidential Information to the other in the performance of this Agreement. Accordingly, each party shall (i) keep the Confidential Information disclosed by the other party confidential, (ii) use Confidential Information only for purposes of fulfilling its obligations and (iii) disclose such Confidential Information only to the receiving party’s employees who have a need to know and only for the purposes of fulfilling this Agreement. Should a receiving party be requested to disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party by a lawful judicial or governmental order or other legal compulsion, such receiving party shall promptly notify the disclosing party to permit the disclosing party to defend against any such order of disclosure, and the receiving party shall assist in such defense, at the disclosing party’s expense, to the extent permitted by law. If the receiving party is thereafter required to disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party, the parties shall agree to a mutually satisfactory means to disclose such Confidential Information as necessary to comply with the applicable order.
     
  26. Indemnity.
    1. Indemnification by Client. To the extent not otherwise prohibited by any applicable sovereign immunity or other valid exemption granted to Client under an applicable state law or statute, Client shall, at its sole cost and expense, indemnify and hold Vendor and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), arising out of a third party claim related to: (i) any content or materials furnished by Client for use in connection with any license or services provided under any Ordering Document; (ii) the acts or omissions of Client; (iii) a breach by Client of any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement; or (iv) Client’s use of the Vendor Offerings including use in any manner not otherwise permitted in an Ordering Document. In the event Client is immune or exempt from the foregoing indemnity obligation under applicable state law or statute, Client agrees to, and does hereby, assume sole responsibility for its actions and omissions with respect to third parties which give rise to any claim arising out of this agreement, including any claim against Vendor.
    2. Indemnification by Vendor. Vendor shall, at its sole cost and expense, indemnify and hold Client and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all third party claims, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), arising out of or related to a third party claim that Vendor’s trademarks, or any content or products licensed to Client, infringe any third party's existing U.S. patent, copyright, or trademark. If such a claim is made or appears possible, or if in Vendor’s opinion, such a claim is likely to occur, Vendor may, at its sole option and expense, either (i) procure for Client the right to continue to use the materials in question; or (ii) modify or replace the infringing materials so that they become non-infringing as long as the functionality is not materially and adversely affected. If neither of the foregoing options is reasonably available then Vendor may terminate any or all applicable Order Forms, Statements of Work, and other similar documents executed hereunder. Vendor will have no liability or obligation under this section for: (i) the combination or use of any Vendor Offerings with content, technology or other materials not supplied by Vendor; (ii) alteration, modification, misuse, or unauthorized use of Vendor Offerings; or (iii) Client’s continued use of anything other than the then-current release of the Vendor Offerings.
    3. Process. With respect to a party's indemnification obligations, the indemnified party agrees to: (i) give the indemnifying party prompt written notice of any claim, action, suit or proceeding for which it is seeking indemnity; (ii) grant control of the defense and settlement of the action to the indemnifying party; and (iii) reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party with respect to the defense of the action. The indemnified party may participate, at its own cost, in the defense and settlement of such action through counsel of its choice. The indemnifying Party may not settle any claim in a manner that adversely affects the indemnified Party’s rights, admits liability on the party of the indemnified Party, or involves the payment of monetary damages, without the indemnified Party’s prior written consent. This section sets forth each Party’s sole and exclusive remedy for any claim for which indemnification is sought.
       
  27. Limitations of Liability. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 25 OF THESE MASTER TERMS, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF DATA, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE OF EQUIPMENT OR LOST CONTRACTS OR FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR COVER DAMAGES IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES, HOWEVER CAUSED, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF VENDOR TO CLIENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY MATTER RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ANY CLAIM OR ACTION OR THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, OR WARRANTY) SHALL BE LIMITED TO DAMAGES NOT TO EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNTS PAYABLE BY CLIENT TO VENDOR UNDER THE APPLICABLE ORDERING DOCUMENT CONTAINING THE RELEVANT VENDOR OFFERING IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE DAMAGES, OR, IF THE ORDERING DOCUMENT HAS NOT BEEN IN EFFECT FOR TWELVE MONTHS ON THE DATE OF THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE DAMAGES, THE AMOUNT PAYABLE BY CLIENT TO VENDOR DURING THE FIRST TWELVE MONTHS OF SUCH ORDERING DOCUMENT.
     
  28. Insurance. Vendor shall maintain general commercial and professional liability insurance at levels generally acceptable in the industry and sufficient to support its obligations hereunder.

Any attempted assignment, transfer or delegation in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void. This Agreement controls the actions of all party representatives, officers, agents, employees and associated individuals. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding on the parties and all their successors.
     
  30. Subcontracting
    Vendor may subcontract any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Order Form, including subcontracting to a Vendor Affiliate, provided that Vendor shall remain directly responsible to Client for the performance of such services.
     
  31. Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors with respect to each other, and nothing herein shall be construed as creating an employer-employee relationship, a partnership, agency relationship or a joint venture between the parties. Neither Party shall be liable for the fault, negligence, or wrongful acts of the other’s employees, contractors, agents, or representatives.
     
  32. Force Majeure. Each party will be excused from any delay or failure in performance, other than the payment of money, caused by reason of any occurrence or contingency beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, epidemic, pandemic, earthquake, labor disputes and strikes, riots, war, acts or threats of terrorism and governmental requirements. The obligations and rights of the party so excused will be extended on a day-to-day basis for the period of time equal to that of the underlying cause of the delay.

The parties hereby agree that the courts of State of New York shall have sole and exclusive jurisdiction over proceedings initiated by either of the parties, and the parties hereby irrevocably waive any objections to the personal jurisdiction and venue, including any objections based on forum non conveniens. If any provision of this Agreement conflicts with governing law or is held to be null, void or otherwise ineffective or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, (a) such provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the parties in accordance with applicable law, and (b) the remaining terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
     
  35. Waiver. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent breach, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. No failure to or delay in exercising any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall be a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
