In addition to the indemnification obligations of Verisart set forth in Section 8.1 above, in the event the use of any Service is, or Verisart believes is likely to be, alleged or held to infringe any Intellectual Property Right, Verisart may at its sole option and expense:  (a) replace or modify the Service so it is non-infringing (provided, that the replaced or modified Service is substantially equivalent); (b) obtain for You a license to continue using the Service in accordance with this Agreement; or (c) terminate the applicable Order and refund to You the pro-rata amount of any unused Fees prepaid by You under such Order.  YOU AGREE, AS A MATERIAL TERM OF THE AGREEMENT, THAT SECTION 8.1 AND THIS SECTION 8.2 SET FORTH YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT OF ANY OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY ANY PORTION OF THE VERISART PROPERTY AND THAT VERISART SHALL HAVE NO INFRINGEMENT LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION.

You, at Your own expense, will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Verisart, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Verisart Indemnitees”) from and against any Claim, including but not limited to any Losses arising therefrom, brought by any third party against any Verisart Indemnitee to the extent that such Claim is based on, or arises out of:  (a) the conduct of Your business, including any dispute with any creator of Your Content or any of Your customers; (b) Your Content; (c) any Feedback that You provide; (d) any breach or purported breach of Your obligations, representations and/or warranties under this Agreement or any contract with any provider of Third-Party Services under which You are bound; or (e) the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of You, Authorized Users or Your employees or subcontractors.

The obligations of each Party (the “Indemnitor”) under this Agreement to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other Party and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”) shall be subject to the following:  (a) the Indemnitee shall provide the Indemnitor with prompt notice of the claim giving rise to such obligation; provided, however, that any failure or delay in giving such notice shall only relieve the Indemnitor of its obligation to defend, indemnify and hold the Indemnitee harmless to the extent it reasonably demonstrates that its defense or settlement of the claim or suit was adversely affected thereby; (b) the Indemnitor shall have sole control of the defense and of all negotiations for settlement of such claim or suit; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not settle any claim unless such settlement completely and forever releases the Indemnitee from all liability with respect to such claim or unless the Indemnitee consents to such settlement in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and (c) the Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnitor in the defense or settlement of any such claim or suit; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing any cooperation requested by the Indemnitor.  Subject to clause (b) above, the Indemnitee may participate in the defense of any claim or suit in which the Indemnitee is involved at its own expense.

Upon receipt of written notice of a Dispute (defined below) from the other Party, an executive of each Party shall (in good faith and confidentially) meet and attempt to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days. If the Dispute is not resolved during such time period, then an executive of each Party shall (in good faith and confidentially) meet and attempt to resolve the Dispute through non-binding confidential mediation with a mutually agreed upon mediator within thirty (30) additional days. If the Dispute is not resolved within such time period, the Dispute shall be resolved per the confidential arbitration terms below.b. ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING REGARDING THE SCOPE, APPLICABILITY, OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT), OR ANY OTHER DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THE PARTIES (EACH, A “DISPUTE”), SHALL BE DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY BY NEUTRAL, FINAL, BINDING AND CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION, UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award and nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be interpreted as limiting any non-waivable statutory rights. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY DISPUTE.c. The arbitration shall be administered by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) before a single arbitrator in Los Angeles County, California and shall be initiated and conducted according to the JAMS Rules (to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement). Each of the Parties shall maintain the confidential nature of any such arbitration and shall not (without the prior written consent of the other Party) disclose to any third party the fact, existence, content, award, or other result of the arbitration, except as may be necessary to enforce, enter, or challenge such award in a court of competent jurisdiction or as otherwise required by applicable law. Discovery shall be limited to an exchange of relevant documents, unless the arbitrator determines that additional discovery is necessary, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration. The arbitrator shall issue a written statement setting forth the award, which shall be final and binding, and the basis therefore. The arbitrator shall have the power to award any type of relief that would be available in a court of competent jurisdiction.d. EACH PARTY AGREES THAT IT MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.e. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, either Party may seek remedies outside of informal dispute resolution, mediation, and arbitration for: (i) claims that qualify for small claims court; (ii) provisional or preliminary injunctive or other equitable relief; or (iii) trademark and other intellectual  property claims.  Any Dispute that is not subject to arbitration (e.g., if arbitration is deemed unenforceable or inapplicable) shall be, and any judgement on any arbitration award may be, brought in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California or a state court located in Los Angeles County, California and the parties hereby consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts. f. This Agreement and any Disputes will be governed, controlled, and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different state. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent such laws are inconsistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, the Federal Arbitration Act will govern.11.9 Entire Agreement This Agreement, together with any Orders, embodies the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof.  For avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that no terms in any form purchase order or other document that either Party may deliver, or imposed by any governmental acquisition regulation, whether or not signed by the other Party, shall be deemed to modify or amend the terms of this Agreement and any such additional or inconsistent terms shall automatically be deemed unacceptable to and rejected by both Parties, and, as such, null and void and of no force and effect. 11.10 Amendment; WaiverExcept as otherwise provided in the introductory section of this Agreement, no amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in a writing signed by a representative of You and Verisart, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein.   No course of dealing on the part of either Party, nor any failure or delay by either Party with respect to exercising any of its rights, powers or privileges under this Agreement or law shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No waiver by either Party of any condition or the breach of any provision of this Agreement in any one or more instances shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of the same or any other condition or provision.11.11 SeverabilityIf any term of this Agreement or part hereof not essential to the commercial purpose of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, it is the intention of the Parties that the remaining terms hereof or part hereof shall constitute their agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and all such remaining terms, or parts thereof, shall remain in full force and effect.  To the extent legally permissible, any illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement shall be replaced by a valid provision which will implement the commercial purpose of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision.11.12 Customer ListUnless You notify Verisart in writing that You do not wish for Verisart to list Your name and logo, Verisart will have the right to include, on its website and sales collateral, Your name and Your logo (if any) in lists that identify customers of the Services.11.13 HeadingsThe headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not intended to have any substantive significance in interpreting this Agreement.
