Warranties, Disclaimers and Duties.
Awalabs warrants that the Services conform in all material respects to the Help Documentation and that the Services do not, to Awalabs’ knowledge, infringe on any third-party intellectual property right. Awalabs represents and warrants that the Services will be maintained and delivered in a workmanlike manner, in accordance with the practices and professional standards used in well-managed operations performing similar services. Because software development is a dynamic industry and because Awalabs performs services on demand, you acknowledge your sole responsibility to ensure that the Services correspond to your business needs.
You are responsible for all activity occurring under your user accounts and will notify Awalabs immediately of any unauthorized use of any password or account or any other known or suspected breach of security. You are responsible for obtaining, maintaining, and supporting all internet access, computer hardware, and other equipment and services needed for access to the Service.
You agree that: (i) Awalabs is not acting on your behalf as a Business Associate or subcontractor; (ii) the Services may not be used to store, maintain, process or transmit protected health information (“PHI”) and (iii) the Services will not be used in any manner that would require Awalabs to be compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended and supplemented (“HIPAA”). In the preceding sentence, the terms “Business Associate,” “subcontractor,” “protected health information” or “PHI” shall have the meanings described in HIPAA.
During the Term, the Services will meet the service level specified in the Master Services Agreement or Statement of Work. If the Services fail to achieve the service level, then you will be entitled, as your sole and exclusive remedy, to a credit for the Services. The Service’s system logs and other records shall be used for calculating any service level events.
Awalabs shall maintain commercially reasonable administrative, physical and technical safeguards for the Services at all times. The operation of and access to the Services may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of Awalabs’ control and Awalabs will not be liable for any such costs, losses, expenses, damages, or liabilities arising out of or related to any delay or failure in performance under these Terms resulting directly or indirectly from causes beyond Awalabs’ reasonable control.
The Service is provided “AS IS” and the entire risk as to satisfactory performance, accuracy, and effort is with you. Awalabs does not warrant that the operation of the Service will be error free or uninterrupted. AWALABS HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND WARRANTIES ARISING OUT COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
-
Indemnification.
Awalabs agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold you harmless against any liabilities, damages and costs payable to a third party arising out of a third party claim alleging that the Services infringe any third party intellectual property right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Awalabs will have no obligation under this section or otherwise with respect to any infringement claim to the extent based upon (i) any unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of the Services or any breach of this Agreement by you, (ii) any combination of the Services with other products, equipment, code, software, content, uses or data not supplied, authorized or recommended by Awalabs, (iii) any modification of the Services by any person other than Awalabs or its authorized agents or contractors or (iv) any activity after Awalabs has provided you with a work around or modification that would have avoided such issue without materially adversely affecting the functionality or availability of the Services (collectively, the “Excluded Claims”).
If Awalabs reasonably believes that all or any portion of the Services, or the use thereof, is likely to become the subject of any infringement claim, suit or proceeding, Awalabs will procure, at its expense, for you the right to continue using the Services in accordance with the terms hereof, replace or modify the allegedly infringing Service to make it non-infringing, or, in the event the preceding is infeasible or not commercially practicable, Awalabs may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement upon written notice to you and refund to you any prepaid amounts for unused Services.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Awalabs against any liabilities, damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) payable to a third party arising out of an Excluded Claim or a third party claim alleging that any of the Customer Content infringes any third party intellectual property right, that you have breached any of your representations or warranties hereunder or your use of any Services is in violation of applicable law.
The party seeking indemnification (“Indemnified Party”) shall provide the other party (“Indemnifying Party”) with prompt written notice upon becoming aware of any claim, suit or proceeding subject to indemnification hereunder and shall provide reasonable cooperation to Indemnifying Party in the defense of or investigation of any claim, suit or proceeding. The Indemnifying Party, at its option, will have sole control of such defense, provided that the Indemnified Party is entitled to participate in its own defense at its sole expense. Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any such claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that Indemnifying Party may without such consent enter into any settlement of a claim that resolves the claim without liability to Indemnified Party and without impairment to any of Indemnified Party’s rights or requiring Indemnified Party to make any admission of liability.
-
Limitation of Liability.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR REVENUE OR FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, COVER, SPECIAL, RELIANCE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE OR KIND HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER FROM BREACH OR REPUDIATION OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE (AND WHETHER OR NOT THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES). CERTAIN STATES AND/OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, IN WHICH CASE SUCH DAMAGES SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN. THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY AND ITS AFFILIATES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM ANY CLAIM BASED ON BREACH OR REPUDIATION OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL SUBSCRIPTION FEES PAID FOR THE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY DURING THE TWO MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT OUT OF WHICH THE LIABILITY AROSE. BOTH PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE FEES REFLECT THE ALLOCATION OF RISK SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT THE PARTIES WOULD NOT ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS ON THEIR LIABILITY. THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT APPLY TO: (A) FEES DUE UNDER THESE TERMS; OR (B) EITHER PARTY’S DEFENSE AND INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS SECTION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITY WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED BUT FOR THE OTHER PARTY’S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS.

Term and Termination.
These Terms are in effect for as long as you access the Services.

Miscellaneous Provisions.
Each party is an independent contractor of the other for purposes of these Terms. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between the parties. If you undergo a change of control (for example, through a merger, acquisition, or sale or lease of all or substantially all of its relevant assets) or assign the Agreement, (a) you will provide written notice to Awalabs within seven days after the change of control or assignment becomes effective; and (b) Awalabs may terminate the Agreement within 30 days of such notice. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Except for you, Awalabs, and their respective successors and assignees, there are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.
