Tumodo shall have no liability under this Section 12.2 to the extent that any claims described herein are based on use of the Services in a manner that violates: (1) the Agreement; or (2) instructions provided to Customer by Tumodo, so long as they are reasonable and consistent with the terms of the Agreement.
12.3 Infringement Claim Remedies. With respect to claims described in subsection 12.2(i), in the event that Tumodo’s right to provide the Services is enjoined or in Tumodo’s reasonable opinion is likely to be enjoined, Tumodo may obtain the right to continue providing the Services, replace or modify the Services so that they become non-infringing, or, if such remedies are not reasonably available, terminate the Agreement without liability to Customer and provide a pro rata refund of any Fees prepaid and unused upon such termination. The foregoing states the entire obligation of Tumodo and its licensors with respect to any alleged or actual infringement or misappropriation of third-party Intellectual Property Rights by the Services.
13. Limitation of liability
13.1 Consequential Damages Waiver. In no event shall either party be liable to the other party for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including loss of income, data, profits, revenue or business interruption, or cost of substitute services, or other economic loss, whether or not such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages, and whether any claim for recovery is based on theories of contract, warranty, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or otherwise.
13.2 Liability Cap. Except for (i) Customer’s obligation to pay Fees and Charges, and (ii) as provided in Section 13.3, each party’s aggregate liability to the other party in connection with the Agreement shall not exceed the total Fees paid or payable by Customer in the twelve-month period preceding the claim or action, regardless of the form or theory of the claim or action. If the Agreement has been in effect for less than 12 months, the actual total Fees paid or payable shall be annualized.
13.3 Exceptions. The Liability Cap in Section 13.2 shall not apply to (i) Tumodo’s obligation to pay Breach Costs (as defined in Section 9.3); (ii) either party’s indemnification obligations as provided in Section 12; or (iii) either party’s breach of confidentiality obligations under Sections 9.1 and 9.2 (collectively, «Excluded Damages»). With respect to Excluded Damages, in no event shall either party’s aggregate liability to the other party exceed five (5) times the total Fees paid or payable in the twelve-month period preceding the claim or action, regardless of the form or theory of the claim or action. If the Agreement has been in effect for less than 12 months, the actual total Fees paid or payable shall be annualized.
14. General
14.1 Waiver. The waiver by either party of any default or breach of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach.
14.2 Notices. Any notices provided by Tumodo under the Agreement will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices by e-mail, the recipient shall be the e-mail address provided by Customer in the applicable Service Order, and the date of receipt will be the date on which such notice is transmitted.
14.3 Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
14.4 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder (except for the payment of money) on account of events beyond the reasonable control of such party, which may include without limitation denial-of-service attacks, strikes (except by its own employees), shortages, riots, insurrection, fires, flood, storm, explosions, acts of God, war, terrorism, governmental action, labor conditions, earthquakes, and material shortages (each a «Force Majeure Event»). Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the non-performing party will be excused from any further performance of its obligations affected by the Force Majeure Event for so long as the event continues and such party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance.
14.5 Compliance with Laws. Each party agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to its activities hereunder.
14.6 Relationship Between the Parties; No Third Parties. Nothing in the Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between the parties. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or to incur obligations on the other’s behalf without such other party’s prior written consent. The Agreement is for the sole benefit of the signatories and is not intended to benefit any third party. Only the parties may enforce the Agreement.
