9. Disclaimer. DECISIV, ITS LICENSORS AND CONTRACTORS, AND THEIR SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, COLLECTIVELY AND/OR INDIVIDUALLY, MAKE NO WARRANTIES, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR NON-MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY, CUSTOM, TRADE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY OF INFORMATIONAL CONTENT OR SYSTEM INTEGRATION. DECISIV, ITS LICENSORS AND CONTRACTORS, AND THEIR SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, COLLECTIVELY AND/OR INDIVIDUALLY DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE SHALL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE AND/OR FREE OF ANY SECURITY DEFECTS. THE SERVICE AND ACCESS AND USE OF THE SERVICE MAY BE SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS, DELAYS AND OTHER PROBLEMS NOT IN DECISIV’S CONTROL AND INHERENT IN THE USE OF THE INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS. DECISIV IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DELAYS, DELIVERY FAILURES, OR OTHER DAMAGE RESULTING FROM SUCH PROBLEMS. COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY CLAIMS OF WARRANTY AS WELL AS ANY OTHER CLAIMS OF WHATEVER NATURE, THAT OTHERWISE MIGHT BE BROUGHT AGAINST DECISIV AND/OR ITS LICENSORS AND/OR CONTRACTORS AND/OR THEIR SUCCESSORS AND/OR ASSIGNS, ARISING OUT OF USE OF THE SERVICE. COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO PERSON, OTHER THAN OFFICERS OF DECISIV AND/OR THE LICENSOR(S) AND/OR CONTRACTOR(S) AND/OR THEIR SUCCESSOR(S) AND/OR ASSIGN(S) AGAINST WHOM SUCH WAIVER OR IMPAIRMENT IS SOUGHT, IN A WRITING EXECUTED BY AN OFFICER OF ANY AND ALL SUCH PERSONS, RESPECTIVELY, HAS ANY AUTHORITY TO WAIVE OR IMPAIR SUCH PERSON(S)’ RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS UNDER THIS SECTION 9.
10. Limitations of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL DECISIV AND/OR ITS LICENSORS AND/OR ITS CONTRACTORS, AND/OR THEIR SUCCESSORS AND/OR ASSIGNS, COLLECTIVELY AND/OR INDIVIDUALLY, BE LIABLE TO COMPANY, COMPANY’S SUCCESSORS AND/OR PERMITTED ASSIGNS, AND/OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE RELIANCE, AND/OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, AND/OR DATA ARISING OUT OF COMPANY’S USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, AND/OR THE PERFORMANCE OR NONPERFORMANCE BY DECISIV UNDER THE AGREEMENT, EVEN IF DECISIV AND/OR ITS LICENSORS AND/OR ITS CONTRACTORS AND/OR THEIR SUCCESSORS AND/OR ASSIGNS, COLLECTIVELY AND/OR INDIVIDUALLY, IS/ARE ADVISED OR AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. DECISIV AND ITS LICENSORS’ AND CONTRACTORS’, AND THEIR SUCCESSORS’ AND ASSIGNS’, ENTIRE AND EXCLUSIVE AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO COMPANY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO COMPANY’S USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, AND/ OR THE PERFORMANCE OR NONPERFORMANCE BY DECISIV, ITS LICENSORS AND/OR CONTRACTORS, AND/OR THEIR SUCCESSORS AND/OR ASSIGNS, COLLECTIVELY AND/OR INDIVIDUALLY, AND/OR ANY OTHER CAUSE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, MISREPRESENTATION AND OTHER CONTRACT OR TORT CLAIMS) SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID IN THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE DATE THAT GAVE RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of special, incidental, consequential, indirect or exemplary damages, or the limitation of liability to specified amounts, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to Company, but strictly for purposes of the application of the terms and conditions of this Agreement under that/those jurisdiction(s) only.
11. Indemnification. Company shall, at Company’s expense, defend Decisiv against all claims, actions, suits and proceedings by unaffiliated third parties arising from or related to Company’s breach of or failure to comply with this Agreement, or Company’s use or misuse of the Service, or Company’s or Decisiv’s use, loss, damage or disclosure of the Customer Data (as defined in the Terms of Use). The indemnifying party under this Section 11 (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall pay all costs, losses, damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the party seeking indemnification under this Section 11 (the “Indemnified Party”), and all associated settlements in connection with any such claims. The Indemnified Party shall provide: (a) prompt written notice of claims for which it is seeking indemnification to the Indemnifying Party; and (b) any reasonably necessary assistance, information and authority for the Indemnifying Party to defend the claim and perform the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder. The Indemnifying Party agrees not to settle any claim, action, suit or proceeding for which it is indemnifying the Indemnified Party in a manner that would impose any obligations on the Indemnified Party without first obtaining the Indemnified Party’s consent thereto (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
12. Binding Arbitration. THIS SECTION PROVIDES FOR RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY. Before Company takes a dispute to arbitration, Company must first contact Decisiv by e- mail at dhyatt@decisiv.com or call Decisiv at (804) 762-4153, extension 304, and give Decisiv an opportunity to attempt to resolve the dispute through discussions with Company. Similarly, before Decisiv takes a dispute to arbitration, Decisiv must first attempt to resolve it through discussions with Company by seeking to contact Company at the most recent address that we have on file for Company. In the event that Company and Decisiv cannot resolve a dispute within sixty (60) days of notification by either party, or in the event that Decisiv is unable to reach Company, Company does not respond to Decisiv’s efforts to contact Company or Company fails to engage in good-faith settlement discussions with Decisiv, then the following procedures shall apply. All disputes arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, as amended by the terms of this Agreement. To the extent that the arbitrator deems reasonable, the arbitrator shall conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances. Any in-person appearances requested by the arbitrator shall be held in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The arbitrator’s decision shall be based upon the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. Arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English and shall be conducted in a manner that preserves confidentiality. The arbitrator’s decision shall follow the plain meaning of the relevant documents and shall be final and binding. The award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude Decisiv from seeking any injunctive relief in U.S. state or federal courts for protection of its intellectual property rights (including the rights of its licensors), and Company agrees to exclusive jurisdiction by the federal and state courts located in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.
13. Assignment. Company may not assign or otherwise transfer the Agreement and/or any rights and/or obligations herein without the prior express written consent of Decisiv. Decisiv may assign the Agreement and/or any rights and/or obligations herein to any person. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
14. Notices. Decisiv may send Company any notices required or permitted under this Agreement by sending Company an email message to the email address listed in Company’s account contact information, by sending a letter via certified mail, return receipt requested, to the contact address listed in Company’s account contact information or by posting on the Service. Company may send Decisiv any notices required or permitted under this Agreement by sending Decisiv a letter via certified mail, return receipt requested, to Decisiv’s address as set forth on the Website.
15. Miscellaneous. This Agreement (including any amendments hereto and any documents, policies and terms incorporated herein by reference) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the use of the Service and/or any part thereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and communications, whether oral or written, between the parties concerning such subject matter. Without limiting any term or condition of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of any purchase order or other written instrument submitted by Company shall be void and have no effect unless otherwise approved in a manually signed writing by Decisiv. If any provision in the Agreement should be held illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified to the extent necessary to render it enforceable without losing its intent, or severed from the Agreement if no such modification is possible, and all other provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. A party’s waiver of the other party’s violation of any term or condition of the Agreement in any one instance shall not constitute such party’s waiver of the other party’s subsequent violation of the same or any other term or condition. No waiver of any terms or conditions hereunder will be effective unless in writing signed by an officer of the party against whom such waiver is sought. Where Decisiv’s licensors and contractors, and their respective successors and assigns, are referenced by the express terms of this Agreement, they are intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement. Without limiting any other provision in this Agreement, Decisiv shall not be deemed to be in default under this Agreement or otherwise liable for any delay in or failure in its performance if such delay or failure is due to acts of God, earthquakes, floods, fire, epidemics, riots, war, failures or delay in transportation or communications systems, shortages of supplies, labor disputes, Internet failure, or other causes beyond Decisiv’s reasonable control.
