These changes will be effective immediately for new users of the Service.

10. INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 By CLO. CLO will indemnify, defend and hold Customer harmless from any third-party claims, suits, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (1) any claim that the Service or Documentation infringes, misappropriates or violates the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party; or (2) the gross negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct of CLO.

This subsection states the sole and exclusive remedy of Customer and the entire liability of CLO, or any of the officers, directors, employees, shareholders, contractors or representatives of the foregoing, for infringement claims and actions.
10.2 By Customer. Customer will indemnify, defend and hold CLO harmless from any third party claims, suits, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (1) any claim that the Service infringes such third party’s intellectual property rights, if such alleged infringement arises, in whole or in part, due to modification of the Service by Customer, on Customer’s behalf, or upon Customer’s request or direction, or if such alleged infringement arises, in whole or in part, due to combination or integration of the Service with hardware, software and/or technology not supplied by CLO hereunder, if such infringement would have been avoided by use of the Service absent such combination or integration; or (2) the gross negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct of Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall not settle any claim unless such settlement completely and forever releases CLO from all liability with respect to such claim or unless CLO provides its prior written consent to such settlement, and further provided that CLO shall have the right, at its option, to defend itself against any such claim or to participate in the defense thereof by counsel of its own choice. 10.3 Procedure. The indemnifying party’s obligations as set forth above are expressly conditioned upon each of the foregoing: (a) the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of any threatened or actual claim or suit; (b) the indemnifying party shall have sole control of the defense or settlement of any claim or suit; and (c) the indemnified party shall cooperate with the indemnifying party to facilitate the settlement or defense of any claim or suit.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement. The laws of the jurisdiction where Customer is located may be different from Colorado law.

12.4 Waiver. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
12.5 Remedies. Except as provided in the section titled Indemnification, the parties’ rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Service and Documentation, and the Customer Content contain valuable trade secrets and proprietary information, that any actual or threatened breach of the sections titled Intellectual Property or Confidentiality or any other breach by a party of its obligations with respect to Intellectual Property Rights of the other party will constitute immediate, irreparable harm to the other party for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy. In such case, the harmed party will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief without the requirement of posting bond, including an order that the Service, Documentation, Customer Content or any portions thereof, that the other party attempts to import into any country or territory be seized, impounded and destroyed by customs officials. If any legal action is brought to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to receive its attorneys’ fees, court costs, and other collection expenses, in addition to any other relief it may receive.
12.6 No Assignment. Neither party shall assign, subcontract, delegate, or otherwise transfer this Agreement, or its rights and obligations herein, without obtaining the prior written consent of the other party, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void; provided, however, that either party may assign this Agreement to any Affiliate, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or other operation of law, without the consent of the other party. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
12.7 Force Majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party (except the payment of money owed) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood, or any other event beyond 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.
12.8 Independent Contractors. The parties hereto are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to create an agency, employment, partnership, fiduciary, or joint venture relationship between the parties. Neither party is the representative of the other party for any purpose and neither party has the power or authority as agent, employee, or in any other capacity to represent, act for, bind, or otherwise create or assume any obligation on behalf of the other party for any purpose whatsoever.
12.9 Notices. Each party must deliver all notices or other communications required or permitted under this Agreement in writing to the other party at the address listed on the Order Form by e-mail, courier, by certified or registered mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested), or by a nationally-recognized express mail service. Notice will be effective upon receipt or refusal of delivery. If delivered by certified or registered mail, any such notice will be considered to have been given five (5) business days after it was mailed, as evidenced by the postmark. If delivered by courier or express mail service, any such notice shall be considered to have been given on the delivery date reflected by the courier or express mail service receipt. If delivered by email, any such notice shall be considered to have been given on the date received. Each party may change its address for receipt of notice by giving notice of such change to the other party.
12.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matters hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matters.
