EXCEPT FOR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS AND AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, (I) IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY), OR FOR INTERRUPTED COMMUNICATIONS, LOSS OF USE, LOST BUSINESS, LOST DATA OR LOST PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND (II) DynamiAds SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO ADVERTISER FOR AN AMOUNT GREATER THAN THE AMOUNTS PAID TO DynamiAds BY ADVERTISER DURING THE SIX MONTHS PRIOR TO THE OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
10. INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 Advertiser agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DynamiAds and its officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, from and against any and all third party claims, actions, liabilities (including all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees) arising from, or in connection with, (I) any claim that Advertiser’s use of the Leads or Related Information violates any Applicable Law, Rule Regulation, privacy or publicity right, intellectual property right, or any other right, except to the extent that such claim is based on any action or omission of DynamiAds; (II) the Advertiser Products and/or counsel provided by Advertiser or its advertisers to its customers and/or a Lead; or (III) Advertiser’s breach of any of its obligations, representations, or warranties under this Agreement including the obligation set forth in Section 5.2 to report, collect, and pay the applicable sales or use taxes in any state.
10.2 DynamiAds agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Advertiser and its officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, from and against any and all third party claims, actions, liabilities (including all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees) arising from or in connection with (I) any claim that the products and/or services provided by DynamiAds hereunder violate any Applicable Law, Rule or Regulation or publicity right, intellectual property right, or any other right, except to the extent that such claim is based on any action or omission of Advertiser; or (II) DynamiAds’s breach of any of its obligations, representations, or warranties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a claim that a Lead sold by DynamiAds for a telemarketing Campaign to Advertiser did not have TCPA Consent, if DynamiAds can prove with competent evidence that it obtained TCPA Consent for the lead that gave rise to the claim, then DynamiAds will support Advertiser in defending the claim, and will provide it with documentary proof of valid TCPA Consent, but will not defend, indemnify or hold Advertiser harmless unless there is a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction, or in the context of settlement negotiations, that DynamiAds did not obtain valid TCPA Consent. In that event, DynamiAds shall fully indemnify, defend and hold Advertiser from all Losses associated with such Lead.
10.3 The party seeking indemnification (“Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other party (“Indemnifying Party”) in writing of all such claims and shall accommodate the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable requests for cooperation and information. The Indemnified Party shall agree to Indemnifying Party’s sole control over the defense and any settlement of such claims; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any settlement that could adversely affect the rights or interest of the Indemnified Party without their express written consent. The foregoing indemnity obligations may not apply in the event, and to the extent, that such claim is based on any action or omission of the Indemnified Party.
11. NO ASSIGNMENT
Neither party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without written consent from the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, nothing shall prevent either party from assigning its rights or obligations hereunder to a successor in ownership in connection with any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the business of the assigning party, or any other transaction in which ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the assigning party’s voting securities is transferred.
12. Agency
If Advertiser is an agency or acting as a broker on behalf of the advertiser whose goods or services are being advertised or on whose behalf DynamiAds is providing Services and/or generating Leads (such persons are referred to as a “Client”), Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that it is acting as authorized agent on the Client’s behalf, including for making payments to DynamiAds hereunder, and Advertiser and Client will be jointly and severally liable for all obligations hereunder. Upon payment of funds from Client to Advertiser, Advertiser shall hold the invoiced funds in a segregated account for DynamiAds’s benefit until Advertiser remits payment to DynamiAds in accordance with the terms herein. If a Client fails to pay DynamiAds for Services rendered hereunder, Advertiser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect and pay over amounts owed. If notwithstanding those efforts, the Client does not pay for such Services, DynamiAds may pursue collection directly from such Client.
13. Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for delays or nonperformance of this Agreement if such delay or nonperformance was caused by: (I) act of God, act of war, strike, fire, natural disaster, or accident; (II) lack of availability of materials, fuel, or utilities; or (II) any other cause beyond such party’s control.
14. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Except to the extent an applicable governmental law, order, decree, regulation, rule, or process requires disclosure, for a period of one (1) year after the expiration of the Term the party receiving Confidential Information (“Recipient”) agrees: (a) to safeguard the Confidential Information and prevent any unauthorized access, reproduction, disclosure and/or use of any of the Confidential Information using reasonable security precautions, at least as great as the precautions it takes to protect its own confidential information; (b) to disclose the Confidential Information only to those affiliates, officers, directors, employees and/or agents and advisors of the Recipient who need to know such information to consider and/or carry out the purposes of this Agreement; (c) not to sell, lease, license, disclose or otherwise transfer any Confidential Information to any third party; and (d) to notify the disclosing party (“Discloser”) promptly in writing or email of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information. Recipient agrees that the Discloser exclusively owns and holds all rights to its Confidential Information. Recipient shall be responsible and liable for any unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information by its representatives. Unless reasonably required otherwise, if disclosure is required, the receiving party shall provide written notice thereof to the disclosing party as soon as reasonably possible and shall reasonably cooperate with the disclosing party in resisting the disclosure of, or obtaining confidential treatment for, such Confidential Information.
Upon the completion of the Services, or upon the Discloser’s written request, Recipient shall at its choosing, (I) promptly return to the Discloser all documents (paper, electronic or otherwise) embodying Confidential Information and all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations or other documents prepared in connection therewith which contain or are based on Confidential Information and/or (II) delete or destroy and certify in writing of such to the Discloser all documents (paper, electronic or otherwise) embodying Confidential Information and all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations or other documents prepared in connection therewith which contain or are based on Confidential Information, provided, however, that Recipient may retain copies of any Confidential Information necessary to comply with applicable law, rule or regulatory authority or internal document retention policy and not be required to destroy, delete, or modify any backup tapes or other media made pursuant to automated archival processes in their ordinary course of business provided such retained Confidential Information continues to be subject to this agreement.
