Indemnification
- List Owner's Indemnity Obligations. List Owner agrees to indemnify and hold List Manager harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs, losses, damages, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or related to (i) a breach of List Owner's obligations under this Agreement, including the representations and warranties contained herein, and (ii) any claim that provision of the Data violates any law, statute or regulation, or any rights of any third party, including but not limited to the CAN-Spam Act of 2003, and acts amendatory thereto.

- Indemnity Procedures. If any action will be brought against either party (the "Indemnified Party") in respect to any allegation for which indemnity may be sought from the other party ("Indemnifying Party"), the Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of any such claim of which it becomes aware and will: (i) provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party's expense in connection with the defense or settlement of any such claim; and (ii) be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of any such claim. The Indemnified Party agrees that the Indemnifying Party will have sole and exclusive control over the defense and settlement of any such third party claim. However, the Indemnifying Party will not acquiesce to any judgment or enter into any settlement that adversely affects the Indemnified Party's rights or interests without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.
- Limitation of Liability. Excluding the Parties' obligations under Section 10 which result in actual, out-of-pocket expenses and/or costs to the Indemnified Party, in no event will either party be liable for any consequential, indirect, incidental, punitive, special or exemplary damages whatsoever, including without limitation, damages for loss of profits, business interruption, loss of information and the like, incurred by the other party arising out of this Agreement, even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Any cause of action arising from or in connection with this Agreement shall be asserted within one (1) year of the date upon which such cause of action accrued, or the date upon which the complaining party should have reasonably discovered the existence of such cause of action, whichever is later.
Waiver
The failure of either party to insist upon or enforce performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right under this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of such party's right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance; rather the same will be and remain in full force and effect.
Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for, or considered in breach of or default under this Agreement on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by the Agreement (except with respect to payment obligations) as a result of any causes or conditions which are beyond such party's reasonable control and which such party is unable to overcome by the exercise of reasonable diligence; provided that the non-performing party gives reasonably prompt notice under the circumstances of such condition(s) to the other party.
Relationship of the Parties.
The Parties to the Agreement are independent contractors. Neither party is an agent, representative, partner or employee of the other party. Neither party will have any right, power, or authority to enter into any agreement on behalf of, or incur any obligation or liability of, or to otherwise bind the other party. The Agreement will not be interpreted or construed to create an association, agency, joint venture, or partnership between the Parties or to impose any liability attributable to such a relationship upon either party.
Survival.
Any obligations which expressly or by their nature are to continue after termination, cancellation, or expiration of the Agreement shall survive and remain in effect after such happening.
Construction; Severability.
Each party acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement were negotiated to reflect an informed, voluntary allocation between them of all the risks (both known and unknown) associated with the transactions contemplated hereunder. Further, all provisions are inserted conditionally on their being valid in law. In the event that any provision of the Agreement conflicts with the law under which the Agreement is to be construed or if any such provision is held invalid or unenforceable by a court with jurisdiction over the Parties to the Agreement: (i) such provision will be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the Parties in accordance with applicable law; and (ii) the remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and restrictions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
Remedies.
Except as otherwise specified, the rights and remedies granted to a party under the Agreement are cumulative and in addition to, not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies which the party may possess at law or in equity.
Entire Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire and only agreement and supersedes any and all prior agreements, whether written, oral, express, or implied, of the Parties with respect to the transactions set forth herein. Neither party will be bound by, and each party specifically objects to, any term, condition, or other provision which is different from or in addition to the provisions of the Agreement (whether or not it would materially alter the Agreement) and which is proffered by such party in any correspondence or other document, unless the party to be bound specifically agrees to such provision(s) in writing.
Amendment.
No change, amendment, or modification of any provision of the Agreement will be valid unless set forth in a written instrument signed by the Parties.

List Manager may assign this agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to a parent, sister, subsidiary or any other business entity that purchases or acquires all or any portion of List Manager's stock. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the permitted assigns of the parties hereto.
