10. Warranties.
THE SERVICES
ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND SENET EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL
WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. LICENSEE
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SENET DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE
UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE AND/OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER
MALICIOUS SOFTWARE, IF ANY, AND NO INFORMATION OR ADVICE OBTAINED BY LICENSEE

SERVICE.
11. Limitation of Liability.
TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL SENET BE LIABLE
FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF
THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL,
WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL
DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS
OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE
CLAIM IS BASED. IN ANY CASE, SENET’S ENTIRE LIABILITY UNDER ANY PROVISION OF
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED $5.00, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL
PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND
LIMITATION MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE. SENET IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LIABILITY
ARISING OUT OF CONTENT PROVIDED BY LICENSEE OR A THIRD PARTY THAT IS ACCESSED
THROUGH THE SOFTWARE AND/OR ANY MATERIAL LINKED THROUGH SUCH CONTENT.
12. Indemnity.
You agree to indemnify, hold
harmless, and defend Senet and its resellers from and against any and all

judgments, damages and other liabilities resulting from such Claims, that arise
or result from Your use of the Services in violation of this Agreement.
13.
Confidentiality.
Except as otherwise provided herein,
each party expressly undertakes to retain in confidence all information and
know-how transmitted or disclosed to the other that the disclosing party has
identified as being proprietary and/or confidential or that, by the nature of
the circumstances surrounding the disclosure, ought in good faith to be treated
as proprietary and/or confidential, and expressly undertakes to make no use of
such information and know-how except under the terms and during the existence
of this Agreement. However, neither party
shall have an obligation to maintain the confidentiality of information that: (i) it received rightfully from a third party without an
obligation to maintain such information in confidence; (ii) the disclosing
party has disclosed to a third party without any obligation to maintain such
information in confidence; (iii) was known to the receiving party prior to its
disclosure by the disclosing party; or (iv) is independently developed by the
receiving party without use of the confidential information of the disclosing
party. Further, either party may disclose confidential information of the other
party as required by governmental or judicial order, provided such party gives
the other party prompt written notice prior to such disclosure and complies with
any protective order (or equivalent) imposed on such disclosure. Except for the
Content You upload to the Services, You agree not to
disclose any confidential information to Senet and any such information shall
not, absent a separate written agreement, create any confidentiality obligation
for Senet. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee shall treat any source code
for the Software as confidential information and shall not disclose,
disseminate, or distribute such materials to any third party without Senet’s
prior written permission. Each party’s obligations under this Section 13 shall
apply at all times during the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years
following termination of this Agreement, provided, however, that (i) obligations with respect to source code shall survive in
perpetuity and (ii) trade secrets shall be maintained as such until they fall
into the public domain.
14.
Governing Law.
This Agreement will be governed by
the law of the State of New York, U.S.A., without regard to the conflict of
laws principles thereof. If any dispute, controversy, or claim cannot be
resolved by a good faith discussion between the parties, then it shall be
submitted for resolution to a state or Federal court or competent jurisdiction
in New York, USA, and the parties hereby agree to submit to the jurisdiction
and venue of such court. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act and
the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods shall not
apply to this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is to be held
unenforceable, such holding will not affect the validity of the other
provisions hereof.
15.
Entire Agreement.
This Agreement shall constitute the
entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous communications regarding the
subject matter hereof. Use of any purchase order or other Licensee document in
connection herewith shall be for administrative convenience only and all terms
and conditions stated therein shall be void and of no effect unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by both parties.

Agreement is terminated or held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
