INDEMNIFICATION

17.1  Our Indemnification of You. We agree to defend, indemnify, and hold you harmless from any and all claims, losses, demands, liabilities, damages, settlements, expenses, and costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) brought by a third party against you alleging your use of any Product infringes or misappropriates any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, or intellectual property right of any third party. We will not have any obligation under this section for any infringement or misappropriation if it arises out of or is based upon: (a) any use of the Platform that is in combination with other Platform or services if such infringement or misappropriation would not have arisen but for such combination, (b) use of the Platform by you for purposes not intended, permitted, or outside of the scope of the license granted to you, or (c) any modification of the Platform not made or authorized in writing by us (the “Excluded Claims”). If you are enjoined or otherwise prohibited from using a Product or a portion thereof based on an allegation that the Product violates any third party intellectual property right, or if we reasonably determine that such prohibition is likely, then we will, at our sole expense and option: (a) obtain for you the right to use the allegedly infringing portions of the Platform; (b) modify the allegedly infringing portions of the Platform so as to render them non-infringing without substantially diminishing or impairing their functionality, or (c) replace the allegedly infringing portions of the Platform with non-infringing items of substantially similar functionality. If we determine that the foregoing remedies are not commercially reasonable, then we may terminate the impacted subscription, or portion thereof, and will promptly provide a prorated refund or credit to you for any prepaid and unused fees.

17.2  Your Indemnification of Us. Your failure to comply with any of your obligations set forth in these Terms shall be considered a breach of these Terms. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, together with our officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns, from any and all claims, losses, demands, liabilities, damages, settlements, expenses, and costs (including attorney’s fees and costs), arising from, in connection with, or based on allegations of, your or your Users’ breach of these Terms, use of Third-Party Services, or for any action arising from the Excluded Claims.

17.3  Requirements for Indemnification. Either party’s indemnification obligations shall be contingent on: (a) the indemnified party (“Indemnitee”) providing the indemnifying party (“Indemnitor”) prompt written notice of the claim, (b) Indemnitee granting Indemnitor full and complete control over the defense and settlement of the claim, and (c) Indemnitee providing assistance in connection with the defense and settlement of the claim as Indemnitor shall reasonably request.

INDEMNIFICATION

18.1  EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND RELATED DAMAGES. NEITHER PARTY NOR ITS AFFILIATES WILL, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY, UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, ENHANCED, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OR DATA; BUSINESS INTERRUPTION; OR LOSS OF GOODWILL OR REPUTATION, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PARTY IS APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING OR ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES WERE OTHERWISE FORESEEABLE.

18.2  MONETARY CAP ON LIABILITY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF US AND OUR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTY CLAIMS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY ACTION OR CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO US UNDER THE APPLICABLE PLAN DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL NOT IN ANY WAY LIMIT YOUR PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 17 ABOVE. THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN WILL APPLY IN AGGREGATE TO YOU AND YOUR AFFILIATES AND SHALL NOT BE CUMULATIVE.

18.3  YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE PERMANENTLY BARRED.

18.4  INDEPENDENT ALLOCATIONS OF RISK. EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS OF THESE TERMS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICING OFFERED BY US TO YOU AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.

18.5  STATE PROHIBITION OF LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply. IN THESE STATES, EACH PARTY’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

MISCELLANEOUS

20.1  Use of Logo. As our customer, you grant us the right to use your company name and logo on our representative customer list on our website and/or marketing materials. If you do not wish to have your name or logo be used in this way or wish to remove your name or logo from such list, please email info@dgtlsuite.com

20.2  Updates to Terms. We may revise and update these Terms from time to time, in our sole discretion. Any changes we make to these Terms are effective immediately when we post them. We will provide notice to the account owner designated on the account of any material changes. Continued use of our Platform after we provide you notice of the updated Terms shall constitute acceptance of the updated Terms.

20.3  Assignability. Neither party may assign its right, duties, and obligations under these Terms without the other party’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that we may assign these Terms, and the licenses granted to us under these Terms, without your consent to a successor (including a successor by way of merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or operation of law) if the successor agrees to assume and fulfill all of our obligations under these Terms.

20.4  Notices. Except as otherwise specified in these terms, any notices under these Terms must be sent to us by email to legal@dgtlsuite.com, with a duplicate copy sent via registered mail (return receipt requested) to: DGTLsuite, 112 E. Pecan St., Suite 360, San Antonio, Texas 78205. Any notices under these Terms that are sent to you shall be sent via email to the named account owner of your account. You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the email address of your named account owner on the “Personal Settings” page within the Application.

20.5  Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under these Terms on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by these Terms as a result of any cause or condition beyond its reasonable control, so long as that party uses commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove the causes of non-performance.

20.6  Governing Law. These Terms will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the local laws of the State of Texas, U.S.A., without reference to its choice of law rules and not including the provisions of the 2080 U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

20.7  Venue. In circumstances where the Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes (Section 18.10) permits the parties to litigate in court, these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, excluding its conflict of law rules. Under such limited circumstances, each party hereby expressly and irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal, state, and local courts in Bexar County, Texas in connection with such an action.

20.8  Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes. You and DGTLsuite agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms through final and binding arbitration, except to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our Intellectual Property Rights. Under such limited circumstances, we may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Platform, or intellectual property infringement without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described herein. In all other cases, both parties hereby agree to submit to arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rule with one (1) arbitrator to be selected by agreement of the parties. If we cannot agree on the arbitrator selection, then the American Arbitration Association shall choose an arbitrator for us from the National Panel of Arbitrators. You agree that an arbitrator cannot award punitive damages to either party and to abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, which shall include, but not be limited to, the courts within Delaware and Texas.

20.9  Waiver and Severability. The waiver by DGTLsuite of any term or condition set out in these Terms shall not be deemed a further or continuing waiver of any other provision of these Terms, and any failure by us to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal for any reason, such provision shall be limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.

20.10  Entire Agreement. Except for any service order, these Terms are the final and complete expression of the agreement between these parties regarding your use of the Platform and Application. These Terms supersede, and the terms of these Terms govern, all previous oral and written communications regarding these matters, all of which are merged into these Terms. We will not be bound by, and specifically object to, any term, condition, or other provision that is different from or in addition to these Terms (whether or not it would materially alter this agreement) that is proffered by you in any receipt, invoice, acceptance, purchase order, confirmation, correspondence, or otherwise, regardless of our failure to object to such terms, provisions or conditions.

20.11  Relationship; Independent Contractor. Nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to constitute the parties as principal and agent, employer and employee, partners or joint venturers, nor shall any similar relationship be deemed to exist between the parties. Neither party shall have any power to obligate or bind the other party, except as specifically provided herein.

20.12  Survival. Section 2 (Definitions), Section 5 (Limited Rights and Use of the Service), Section 6 (Ownership and Intellectual Property Rights), Section 9 (Third-Party Services and Access Rights), Section 11 (Legal Compliance), Section 12 (Payment, Refunds, Renewals, and Subscription Changes ), Section 13 (Cancellation and Termination), Section 15 (Data Privacy), Section 16 (Warranty), Sections 17 (Indemnification), Section 18 (Limitation of Liability), and Section 20 (Miscellaneous) will survive any termination of these Terms.

20.13  Headings. The headings of the various Sections herein are for the purpose of convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.

20.14  Copyright. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that content or material on the Platform or on our website (www.dgtlsuite.com) or any of its web properties hosted on the dgtlsuite.com domain infringes a copyright owned by you, you (or your agent) may send DGTLsuite a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. This request should be sent to: legal@dgtlsuite.com; or, alternatively to: DGTLsuite, c/o: DCMA, 112 E. Pecan St., Suite 360, San Antonio, Texas 78205. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity; (d) the name, address, telephone number, and email address of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA.
