The Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this paragraph will only apply to the extent that: (a) the Indemnified Party promptly notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Claim, provided that failure to give or delay in giving such notice to the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such action is materially prejudiced thereby; (b) the Indemnifying Party has control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations relating to the Claim, provided, however, the settlement of any Claim will not be made without advance written permission of the Indemnified Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld; and (c) the Indemnified Party provides the Indemnifying Party with the assistance, information and authority reasonably necessary to perform the above. In no event will BrainStorm have any obligation or liability under this paragraph for any Claim or action under any legal theory to the extent that the Claim or action is caused by, or results from: (i) Customer’s combination, operation or use of the Subscription Service with software or other materials not supplied by BrainStorm, (ii) any alteration or modification of the Subscription Service by Customer, (iii) Customer’s continued allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being provided modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, (iv) the actions or omissions of any person or entity other than BrainStorm, or (v) Customer’s failure to comply with Section 7(h).
    2. Remedy for Infringement. Should Customer’s right to use the Subscription Service pursuant to this Agreement be subject to a Claim of infringement or if BrainStorm reasonably believes such a Claim of infringement may arise, BrainStorm may, at its option and in its sole discretion, (i) procure for Customer the right to continue to access and use the Subscription Service; (ii) modify the Subscription Service to render it non-infringing but substantially functionally equivalent to the Subscription Service prior to such modification; or (iii) if the alternatives described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph are not commercially practicable, then BrainStorm may terminate this Agreement and refund to Customer any amounts prepaid by Customer for the Subscription Service for the unused portion of the Subscription Term.
  11. Warranties.
    1. BrainStorm Warranties. BrainStorm warrants that the BrainStorm Platform and BrainStorm Content will be provided materially in accordance with BrainStorm’s published documentation for the BrainStorm Platform and BrainStorm Content, as found on the Website. For any breach of such warranty, Customer’s exclusive remedy will be as provided in the “Termination for Cause” and “Effects of Termination” sections above. BrainStorm will have no liability under this section if the Subscription Service has been modified or altered by anyone other than BrainStorm, or if the Subscription Service has been abused or misapplied.
    2. Customer Warranties. When Customer shares Customer Data with BrainStorm or uploads Customer Data to the Subscription Service, Customer represents and warrants that it is the creator and owner of, or that Customer has the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and to authorize BrainStorm to use and distribute the Customer Data as necessary for BrainStorm and its licensors to provide Customer with access to and use of the Subscription Service and to otherwise perform its obligations under this Agreement.
    3. DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, AND EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. BRAINSTORM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE WILL SATISFY CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS OR (WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO THE LIMITED WARRANTY ABOVE) THAT IT IS WITHOUT DEFECT OR ERROR OR THAT CUSTOMER’S ACCESS THERETO WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED.
  12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, COVER OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EXCEPT FOR BRAINSTORM’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS CONTAINED HEREIN, BRAINSTORM’S CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WILL BE LIMITED TO NO GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT OF MONEY PAID TO BRAINSTORM FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE INCIDENT. THE FOREGOING WILL NOT LIMIT CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATION TO PAY FEES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ORDER FORM. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER TO BRAINSTORM HEREUNDER REFLECTS THE ALLOCATION OF RISK SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT BRAINSTORM WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT THE LIMITATIONS ON ITS LIABILITY CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION. THESE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF CONTRACTUAL REMEDIES FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
  13. THIRD-PARTY CONENT . BRAINSTORM DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THIRD-PARTY CONTENT THAT CUSTOMER PURCHASES FROM THE MARKETPLACE. BRAINSTORM'S LICENSORS WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
  14. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF UTAH AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, EXCLUDING ITS PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OR CHOICE OF LAWS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UTAH STATE COURT OR UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT, IN EITHER CASE SITTING IN UTAH OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING WILL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH COURTS. REGARDLESS OF THE APPLICABLE GOVERNING LAW, CUSTOMER AND BRAINSTORM AGREE TO EXCLUDE THE APPLICATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BRAINSTORM MAY BRING AN ACTION IN ANY JURISDICTION FOR THE PURPOSE OF: (A) ENFORCING A JUDGMENT OR (B) PROTECTING BRAINSTORM’S OR ANY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. In the event that a Party who engages the services of legal counsel to enforce the terms and conditions hereof against the other is successful in doing so, such Party will be entitled to the reimbursement by the other Party of all reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by the successful Party.
  15. Miscellaneous.
    1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, each Order Form, the Data Protection Addendum (if applicable), and the BrainStorm Privacy Policy together constitute the entire agreement between the Parties for the provision of and access to the Subscription Service, and supersede all other proposals and agreements, whether electronic, oral or written, between the Parties. BrainStorm objects to and rejects any additional or different terms proposed by Customer, including those contained on Customer’s purchase order, acceptance, or website.
    2. Amendment; No Waiver. BrainStorm may update and change any part or all of this Agreement, including the fees and charges associated with the use of the Subscription Service (but Customer’s Fees and charges will not change during the Subscription Term except as explained in the Fees section above). If BrainStorm makes a material update or change to these terms and conditions, BrainStorm will provide notice via email and/or in-app notification. The updated Agreement will become effective and binding on the effective date indicated at the top of the updated Agreement. If Customer does not agree with a modification to this Agreement, Customer must notify BrainStorm in writing within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of the modification.

Upon renewal, the updated Agreement, as published on BrainStorm’s website, will apply. No delay in exercising any right or remedy or failure to object will be a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on one occasion will not be a waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.
    3. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect.
    4. Assignment. Customer may not assign, sublicense, or transfer this Agreement, Customer’s access to the Subscription Service, any right to maintenance and/or support, or any rights or obligations hereunder without prior written consent of BrainStorm. Any such purported assignment, sublicense, or transfer will be null and void. BrainStorm may terminate this Agreement in the event of any such attempted assignment, sublicense, or transfer by providing Customer with written notice.
    5. Authority. Each Party represents and warrants to the other that it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that it is binding upon such Party and enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Each Party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of a force majeure event.
