(c)                Without limiting the foregoing or assuming any additional legal obligations, we reserve the right to terminate violators of the Copyright Act, in accordance with applicable law. All rights that you grant to us herein related to Submissions shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Further, your representations, warranties and indemnification obligations herein shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(d)                Upon termination of the Agreement for any reason, your right to use the Services shall immediately cease. Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve either Party of any obligation accrued prior to the termination date or which by its nature should survive any termination of this Agreement.

16. CONFIDENTIALITY

(a)                The term “Confidential Information” means the Services, associated documentation, our pricing, and all other information we disclose to you that is designated as confidential or that by its nature would reasonably be expected to be kept confidential.

(b)                Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, our Confidential Information shall not include information that (i) is or becomes publicly available through no act or omission of you; or (ii) was in your lawful possession prior to the disclosure and had not been obtained by you either directly or indirectly from us; or (iii) is lawfully disclosed to you by a third party not bound by a duty of non-disclosure; or (iv) is independently developed by you without access to or use of our Confidential Information.

(c)                You agree to hold all Confidential Information in confidence. You agree not to make the Confidential Information available in any form to any third party or to use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than performing your obligations or enjoying your rights under this Agreement. You agree to use the same degree of care in protecting the Confidential Information that you use to protect confidential information of your own of a similar nature and value, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care to ensure that Confidential Information is not disclosed or distributed by your employees or agents in violation of the provisions of this Agreement. You represent that you have, with each of your employees who may have access to any Confidential Information, an appropriate agreement sufficient to enable you to comply with all of the confidentiality terms hereof.

(d)                Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may disclose the Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is required by law or court order, provided, however, that you provide us with prior written notice of such disclosure and reasonable assistance in obtaining an order protecting the Confidential Information from public disclosure.

(e)                After termination or expiration of this Agreement, you shall return any Confidential Information in your possession or control to us.

17. DISPUTES, GOVERNING LAW, AND JURISDICTION

(a)                The laws of the State of New York shall govern this Agreement. Any legal proceeding or arbitration shall be held in New York City, New York (the “Dispute Resolution Location”). To the extent arbitration does not apply, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Services or us, may only be brought by you in a state or federal court located in the Dispute Resolution Location. YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION LOCATION AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS VENUE AS INCONVENIENT OR INAPPROPRIATE AND INCLUDING THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER YOU. YOU AGREE THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. IN THE EVENT THAT ARBITRATION IS NOT APPLICABLE, THE PARTIES WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

(b)                You agree that any claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Services or any service provided by us, will be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO SUBMIT TO ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS TO SETTLE ANY DISPUTES HEREUNDER, THAT SUCH ARBITRATION WILL BE IN LIEU OF LITIGATION, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT IN FAVOR OF THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

(c)                There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. An arbitrator, however, may award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would.

(d)                To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our address specified in the Notice section, below.

(e)                Arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules then in effect. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.

(f)                 You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we both agree that we have each waived any right to a jury trial.

(g)                Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property or other proprietary rights, including any claims of infringement of any third-party patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary or contractual rights that would violate any applicable law or regulation.

(h)                Any dispute or alleged claim you may have with respect to your access or use of the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the occurrence of the events leading to the dispute or alleged claim.

(b)                Compliance With Law. Each Party shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations of governmental bodies or agencies in its performance under this Agreement.

(c)                Waiver. No waiver shall be implied from conduct or failure to enforce rights. This will in no way affect our rights thereafter to enforce the same or any other provision hereof, nor shall any waiver by us of any breach of the Agreement be deemed a waiver of any other breach of the same. No waiver shall be effective unless in a written document signed by both Parties.

You acknowledge that the performance of certain of our obligations may require the cooperation of third parties designated by you and outside our control. In the event such third parties fail to cooperate with us in a manner that reasonably permits us to perform our obligations, such failures shall be consider as causes beyond our reasonable control for the purposes of this Section, and shall not be the basis for a determination that we are in breach of any of our obligations under this Agreement or are otherwise liable.

(g)                Equitable Remedies. You hereby agree that we would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this Agreement were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that we shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of irreparable harm or other damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this Agreement, in addition to such other remedies as we may otherwise have available to us under applicable laws.You also acknowledge that our rights and remedies and your obligations under the Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to such other remedies as we may otherwise have available to us under applicable laws or any other applicable agreement or disclaimer.
