The Customer will provide Jellyfish with a reasonable opportunity to remedy any breach and reasonable assistance in remedying any breaches. Such warranty shall only apply if the Services have been utilized by the Customer in accordance with this Agreement.
7.2 EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, THE SERVICES, SOFTWARE, JELLYFISH PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND ANYTHING PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS,” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, JELLYFISH (AND ITS AGENTS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS) HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
EXCEPT FOR CUSTOMER’S BREACH OF SECTION 2.1 OR 5, IN NO EVENT WILL CUSTOMER OR JELLYFISH (OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AGENTS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS) BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR TECHNOLOGY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANYTHING PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE DELAY OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES OR ANYTHING PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR LOST BUSINESS OR LOST SALES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF CUSTOMER OR JELLYFISH HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES. THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF JELLYFISH, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY), OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE, THE FEES PAID TO JELLYFISH HEREUNDER IN THE TWELVE MONTH PERIOD ENDING ON THE DATE THAT A CLAIM OR DEMAND IS FIRST ASSERTED. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
9.1. Jellyfish will defend Customer, and its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Customer Indemnitees”), against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against any of the Customer Indemnitees by an unaffiliated third party alleging that the Services infringe or misappropriate such third party’s intellectual property rights (a “Claim Against Customer”), and will indemnify the Customer Indemnitees from any damages, reasonable attorney fees and costs finally awarded against any of the Customer Indemnitees as a result of, or for amounts paid by Customer under a court-approved settlement, of a Claim Against Customer. Jellyfish’s indemnification obligations do not cover third party claims to the extent such claims arise from: (i) any products, services, technology, materials or data not created or provided by Jellyfish (including without limitation any Content), (ii) any part of the Services made in whole or in part in accordance to Customer specifications, (iii) any modifications made after delivery by Jellyfish, (iv) any combination with other products, processes or materials not provided by Jellyfish (where the alleged damages, costs or expenses arise from or relate to such combination), (v) where Customer continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (vi) Customer’s use of the Services is not strictly in accordance herewith. If a Claim Against Customer is brought or is likely, in Jellyfish’s sole opinion, to be brought, Jellyfish will, at its option and expense (A) obtain the right for Customer to continue using the Services; (B) replace or modify the affected Services so that they become non-infringing without loss of material functionality; or (C) upon notice to Customer, terminate this Agreement or Customer’s use of the affected Services, provided that Jellyfish promptly refunds to Customer the prorated portion of any unearned pre-paid annual subscription fees paid hereunder for the affected Services. The above defense and indemnification obligations do not apply to the extent a Claim Against Customer arises from Content, or Customer’s breach of this Agreement.
9.2 Customer will defend Jellyfish and its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Jellyfish Indemnitees”) against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against any or all of the Jellyfish Indemnitees by a third party arising from or related to (a) the Content or any use thereof in accordance with this Agreement or (b) Customer’s use of any Services in breach of this Agreement (a “Claim Against Jellyfish”), and will indemnify the Jellyfish Indemnitees from any damages, reasonable attorney fees and costs finally awarded against the Jellyfish Indemnitees as a result of, or for any amounts paid by the Jellyfish Indemnitees under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim Against Jellyfish.
9.3 Each party’s obligation to indemnify the other party is conditioned on the party seeking indemnification: (i) promptly notifying the indemnifying party in writing of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed, provided that failure to so notify will not remove the indemnifying party’s obligation except to the extent it is prejudiced thereby, (ii) allowing the indemnifying party to solely control the defense of any claim, suit or proceeding and all negotiations for settlement; provided that the indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim that requires the indemnified party to admit fault without the indemnified Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (iii) giving the indemnifying party reasonable assistance in the defense and settlement of any claim, suit or proceeding for which indemnity is claimed.
9.4 This Section 9 states the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of claim described in this section.
10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, neither party may otherwise assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder either in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other party, and any attempted assignment or delegation without such consent will be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may assign this Agreement as part of a corporate reorganization, consolidation, merger, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or business to which this Agreement relates. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and for the benefit of Jellyfish, the Customer and their permitted successors and assigns. Both parties agree that this Agreement along with the Order Forms is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and that all waivers and modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions on the Order Form, the provisions of the Order Form will control. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and Customer does not have any authority of any kind to bind Jellyfish in any respect whatsoever. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees. All notices under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; and upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested), postage prepaid to the address set forth on the applicable Order Form. Jellyfish will not be liable for any loss resulting from a cause over which it does not have direct control. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, U.S.A. without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. The federal and state courts sitting in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, U.S.A. will have proper and exclusive jurisdiction and venue with respect to any disputes arising from or related to the subject matter of this Agreement, provided that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. Unless otherwise set forth on the Order Form, Customer agrees to participate in press announcements, case studies, trade shows, or other forms reasonably requested by Jellyfish. Unless otherwise set forth on the Order Form, Jellyfish is permitted to disclose that Customer is one of its customers to any third-party at its sole discretion.
