opinion is likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement, Boozt may, at Boozt’s
option: (1) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Services;
(2) replace the Services with non-infringing software or services which do
not materially impair the functionality of the Services; (3) modify the
Services so that they become non-infringing; or (4) terminate this

Boozt will have no obligation under this Section
10.1 or otherwise with respect to any infringement claim based upon
(5) any use of the Services not in accordance with this Agreement or as
specified in the Documentation; (6) any use of the Services in combination
with other products, equipment, software or data not supplied by Boozt; or (7) any modification of the Services by any
person other than Boozt or its authorized agents
(collectively, the “Exclusions” and each, an “Exclusion”).
This Section 10.1 states the sole and exclusive remedy of Customer
and the entire liability of Boozt, or any of the
officers, directors, employees, shareholders, contractors or
representatives of the foregoing, for infringement claims and actions.
- By
Customer. Customer will defend at its expense and advance
sufficient fees and costs to Boozt in connection
with any third party suit brought against Boozt,
and will pay any settlement Customer makes or approves, or any damages
finally awarded in such suit, insofar as such suit is based on a claim
arising out of or relating to (1) the Customer Content misappropriates any
trade secret recognized under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act or infringes
any copyright or United States patent or (2) an Exclusion. This
Section 10.2 states the sole and exclusive remedy of Boozt and the entire liability of Customer, or any of
the officers, directors, employees, shareholders, contractors or
representatives of the foregoing, for the claims and actions described
herein.

indemnifying party’s obligations as set forth above are expressly
conditioned upon each of the foregoing: (1) the indemnified party will
promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of any threatened or
actual claim or suit; (2) the indemnifying party will have sole control of

termination of this Agreement constitutes a termination of all Order
Form(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provisions that by their
nature are meant to survive the Term shall survive the termination or
expiration hereof.

Either party may terminate this Agreement for material breach by providing
the other party no less than thirty (30) days’ written notice specifying

cure. If no cure is made within the 30-day notice period, the party
alleging the breach may terminate this Agreement with no further
notice.

be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of New
York, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles. Customer
hereby expressly consents to exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue in

foregoing will be null and void; provided, however, that Boozt may assign this Agreement in connection with a
merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of
its assets, other operation of law, or to a Boozt
Affiliate without any consent of Customer. Subject to the foregoing, the
terms of this Agreement will be binding upon the parties and their
respective successors and permitted assigns.
- Force
Majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or
obligations of either party (except the payment of money owed) will not be

the control of such party, provided that such party uses reasonable
efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the other party of the cause
of such delay and to resume performance as soon as possible.
- Independent

tangible copy of the notice by express mail service with ten business days
of sending the email message. Notice shall be delivered as set forth on
the first page of this Agreement or as may be reflected in any Order
Form:

website and marketing materials), including using a Customer Trademark
subject to Customer’s written guidelines as provided to Boozt for such purposes, and Customer will make an
appropriate representative available to answer questions about the
Services from Boozt’s potential clients.
