8. Customer Duties.

Cooperation. During the Term, Customer agrees to provide reasonable access to users for questions, feedback, testimonials, and other publications eHumanize may desire.
Restriction of Access. Customer shall restrict access to the Service to Customer’s Permitted Users and ensure compliance by all Permitted Users with the TOU, the terms of which are incorporated as if fully set forth herein.

In the event of a violation of this Section 8(d), eHumanize will be entitled to liquidated damages equal to one-year of salary of such individual (based on the highest salary in the last three years). The Parties acknowledge and agree that any breach of this Section 8(d) will cause injury to eHumanize for which money damages would be inherently difficult to quantify or ascertain and further stipulate that the agreed upon sum is not a penalty, but rather a reasonable measure of damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall not have any liability under this Section 10(d) in the event such hire was the result of a general solicitation through the public domain.

9. Reciprocal Disclosure of Confidential Information.

The Parties anticipate that each may disclose confidential information to the other. Accordingly, the Parties desire to establish in this Section terms governing the use and protection of certain information one Party (“Disclosing Party”) may disclose to the other Party (“Recipient”).

For purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” means the terms and conditions hereof, and other information of the Disclosing Party business which is not generally known and which the Disclosing Party wishes to maintain as confidential. Confidential Information also includes all information of which the unauthorized disclosure could be detrimental to the interests of the Disclosing Party. By example, and without limitation, Confidential Information includes any and all non-public information that relates to the actual or anticipated business and/or products, research or development of the Disclosing Party, or to the Disclosing Party’s technical data, trade secrets, or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, or other information regarding the Disclosing Party’s products or services and markets therefor, customer lists and customers, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances, and other business information disclosed by the Disclosing Party either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or inspection of premises, parts, equipment, or other Company property.
Recipient may use Confidential Information of Disclosing Party only for the purposes of fulfilling its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement and shall protect such Confidential Information from disclosure to others, using the same degree of care used to protect its own proprietary information of like importance, but in any case, using no less than a reasonable degree of care. Recipient may disclose Confidential Information received hereunder only as reasonably required to perform its obligations under this Agreement and only to its employees, consultants or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) who have a need to know for such purposes and who are bound by signed, written agreements to protect the received Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure. Recipient shall ensure compliance with this Agreement by all of its Representatives and will be responsible for any breach of this Agreement caused by its Representatives.
The restrictions of this Agreement on use and disclosure of Confidential Information shall not apply to information that: (i) is in the possession or control of Recipient at the time of its disclosure hereunder; (ii) is, or becomes publicly known, through no wrongful act of Recipient; (iii) is received by Recipient from a third party free to disclose it without obligation to Disclosing Party; or (iv) is independently developed by Recipient without use of or reference to Confidential Information.
Recipient further agrees that it shall:
- immediately notify Disclosing Party of any breach of this Agreement or any other disclosure of Confidential Information not authorized under this Agreement (collectively, an “Unauthorized Disclosure”); and
- without limiting any remedies available to Disclosing Party, fully cooperate with the Disclosing Party to regain possession of the Confidential Information, prevent its further unauthorized use or disclosure, and limit and mitigate the damage of such Unauthorized Disclosure.
If Recipient or any of its Representatives is required by a valid legal order to disclose any Confidential Information, Recipient shall notify Disclosing Party of such requirements so that Disclosing Party may seek, at Disclosing Party’s expense, a protective order or other remedy, and Recipient shall reasonably assist Disclosing Party therewith. If Recipient remains, in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Disclosing Party, legally compelled to make such disclosure, it shall: (a) only disclose that portion of the Confidential Information that it is required to disclose; and (b) use reasonable efforts to ensure that such Confidential Information is afforded confidential treatment.
Following the termination of this Agreement, Recipient shall (a) at Disclosing Party’s discretion, promptly return to Disclosing Party or destroy all Confidential Information in its and its Representatives’ possession other than Notes, (b) destroy all Notes, and (c) within 10 days after Disclosing Party’s request, provide Disclosing Party with a certificate confirming Recipient’s compliance with this Section 9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient may retain copies of Confidential Information that are stored on Recipient’s IT backup and disaster recovery systems until deleted in the ordinary course. Recipient shall continue to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to such retained Confidential Information.

10. Representations and Warranties.

Representations and Warranties Generally. Each Party hereby represents and warrants (i) that it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization; (ii) that the execution and performance of this Agreement will not conflict with or violate any provision of any law having applicability to such Party; (iii) that no pending or threatened claim or litigation known to it would have a material adverse impact on its ability to perform as required by this Agreement; and (iv) that this Agreement, when executed and delivered, will constitute a valid and binding obligation of such Party and will be enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms.
Representations and Warranties of Customer. Customer further represents and warrants (i) that it has the right, and any necessary Intellectual Property Rights necessary to disclose and provide to eHumanize any Customer provided through use and access of the Application; and (ii) that Customer’s use of and access to the Application complies with applicable laws and regulations.
Disclaimer. Except for the express warranties specified herein, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available”, and eHumanize makes no warranties, either express or implied, including, without limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement or data accuracy. eHumanize does not warrant that the operation of the Application will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that all errors will be corrected.
Essential Basis of the Agreement. Each Party acknowledges and understands that the disclaimers, exclusions and limitations of liability set forth in this Section 10 form an essential basis of the agreement between the Parties, that the Parties have relied upon such disclaimers, exclusions and limitations of liability in negotiating the terms and conditions in this Agreement, and that absent such disclaimers, exclusions and limitations of liability, the terms and conditions of this Agreement would be substantially different.

11. Indemnification.

Indemnification by Customer. Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless eHumanize, its licensors, service providers, and their respective affiliates, managers, directors, shareholders, agents and employees, from and against all losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from use of the Services or breach of any obligations under this Agreement.
Notice and Defense of Claims. With respect to a claim entitled to indemnification under Section 11(a) above, a Party seeking indemnification under this Section 11 (the “Indemnified Party”) will promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim for which it believes it is entitled to indemnification. The Indemnifying Party shall assume control of the defense and settlement of such claim provided that (i) Indemnified Party promptly notifies Indemnifying Party of any such claim in writing (but a failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party or the defense is prejudiced by such failure), (ii) the Indemnifying Party is given sole control over the defense and settlement of such claim at its sole cost and expense, provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not settle any third-party claim against the Indemnified Party unless such settlement completely and forever releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such claim without payment or admission of fault by the Indemnified Party, unless the Indemnified Party consents to such settlement, and that (iii) the Indemnified Party will have the right, at its option and expense, to defend itself against any such claim or to participate in the defense thereof by counsel of its own choice. For the avoidance of doubt, should the Indemnifying Party refuse the opportunity to have sole control of the defense of the claims, and should the Indemnified Party be obliged to conduct the same, then any reasonable related attorneys’ fees and costs shall be covered by this Section 11.
Limitations and Exclusions of Liability. Other than instances of gross negligence, or willfully malicious conduct, neither Party will be liable to the other for any incidental, indirect, special, consequential (except for consequential damages arising from a Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder) or punitive damages, regardless of the nature of the claim, including, without limitation, lost profits, costs of delay, any failure of delivery, business interruption, costs of lost or damaged data or documentation, or liabilities to third parties arising from any source, even if a Party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. This limitation upon damages and claims is intended to apply without regard to whether other provisions of this Agreement have been breached or have proven ineffective. The cumulative liability of eHumanize to Customer for all claims arising from or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any cause of action sounding in contract, tort, or strict liability, will not exceed the total amount of all license fees paid to eHumanize by Customer during the Term of this Agreement. This limitation of liability is intended to apply without regard to whether other provisions of this Agreement have been breached or have proven ineffective.

12. Notices.

All notices by either Party shall be in writing and shall be sent to the other Party at the addresses shown on the signature page hereto by United States Certified Mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or by Federal Express or other similar nationally recognized courier, or by email, and such notices will be deemed effective upon actual receipt or rejection.

13. Third-Party Sites, Products, and Services.

Customer agrees, eHumanize is not responsible for the content of other users of the Application. The Application may contain links to external Web sites. eHumanize will not be responsible for the contents of any linked Web site, or any changes or updates to such sites.

No partial credits are issued for partial completion of a course or event.
No Waiver. Neither Party will be deemed to have waived any of its rights under this Agreement by lapse of time or by any statement or representation other than by an explicit written waiver.

Force Majeure. To the extent caused by force majeure, no delay, failure, or default will constitute a breach of this Agreement.
Assignment & Successors. eHumanize may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without express written consent from Customer. Customer may not assign this Agreement without the prior consent of eHumanize, which consent may be withheld by eHumanize in its sole discretion.

This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties.
Choice of Law & Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed solely by the internal laws of the State of Ohio without reference to such State’s principles of conflicts of law. The parties consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of Franklin County, Ohio.
Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties hereby waive any provision of law that would render any clause of this Agreement invalid or otherwise unenforceable in any respect. In the event that a provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such provision will be interpreted to fulfill its intended purpose to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
Reference and use of Customer logo. Customer agrees to provide eHumanize use of its logo and Customer description for marketing material as permitted by law. Additional Customer feedback and input on case studies or marketing material will be provided as reasonably requested by eHumanize.
