Subject to your indemnity obligations stated in this Agreement, we agree to defend, indemnify, and hold you and your Affiliates and your respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and sub-contractors harmless from and against any third-party Claims and resulting Damages where the Claim (i) subject to subsection (d) below, alleges that the Platform infringes or misappropriates third-party Intellectual Property Rights; or (ii) is caused by our gross negligence, fraud, or wilful misconduct in connection with the Services (each, a “Customer Claim“).
  3. Indemnification Procedure. The Party seeking indemnification under this section (the “Indemnitee“) will provide the other Party (the “Indemnitor“) with prompt written notice of any Claim for which indemnity is sought. If the Indemnitor is notified, the Indemnitor will promptly hire experienced and competent legal counsel and will have sole control of the defense and all negotiations for the compromise or settlement of the Claim, and will pay any Damages regarding the Claim. The Indemnitor will also reimburse the Indemnitee for its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in cooperation with and providing assistance to the Indemnitor. However, the Indemnitor may not settle any Claim without the Indemnitee’s consent if the proposed settlement would be in the Indemnitee’s name, impose monetary or other liability or an admission of fault or guilt on the Indemnitee, or would require the Indemnitee to be bound by an injunction.
  4. Our Rights for an Intellectual Property Claim. In the defense or settlement of any Customer Claim that alleges that the Platform infringes or misappropriates third-party Intellectual Property Rights, we may procure the right for you to continue using the Platform, replace or modify the Platform (so long as such modified Platform is substantially equivalent in functionality and performance) so that it becomes non-infringing or, if these remedies are not reasonably available and without an additional liability or obligation to you, terminate this Agreement on 2 business days’ notice to you and refund you a prorated amount equal to the prepaid unused Platform Fees for the unexpired portion of the Term. This section states your sole and exclusive rights and remedies, and our and our Affiliates’ and each of our respective officers’, directors’ employees’, agents’, and sub-contractors’ entire obligations and liability for infringement of any Intellectual Property Right.
  5. Exclusions. We and our Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, or sub-contractors will not be liable to you under this section to the extent that the alleged infringement is based on:
    1. a modification of the Platform by you or anyone on your behalf (including a modification made by us at your direction) to the extent such Claim would not have occurred absent such modification;
    2. use of the Platform in a manner contrary to the instructions given by us or in contravention of the terms of this Agreement;
    3. use of the Platform in combination with other products, software, or data not supplied by us; or
    4. use of the Platform after notice of the alleged or actual infringement from us or any appropriate authority or third party.
  6. Reduction of Indemnification Obligations. Indemnification by either Party under this Agreement may be reduced to the extent of loss actually proven as directly attributable to the breach of the Agreement, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of the other Party.
  7. Survival. This section survives the termination of the Agreement for any reason.

 

9. Confidential Information

  1. Scope. “Confidential Information” means the terms of this Agreement and all information or material which (i) gives the disclosing Party or a third-party some competitive business advantage or the opportunity of obtaining such advantage or the disclosure of which could be detrimental to the interests of the Party who owns the Confidential Information; or (ii) which is either: (A) marked “Confidential,” “Restricted,” or “Proprietary Information” or other similar marking, (B) known by the Parties to be considered confidential and proprietary, whether or not marked as such, or (C) from all the relevant circumstances should reasonably be assumed to be confidential and proprietary, whether or not marked as such. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information will not include information which: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public by any means other than a breach of the obligations of the receiving Party; (ii) was previously known to the receiving Party or lawfully received by the receiving Party from a third-party, in each case without any condition or obligation of confidentiality attached to it; or (iii) is independently developed by the receiving Party without reference to the Confidential Information of the other Party. Confidential Information does not include the contents of a Post.
  2. Confidentiality. The receiving Party shall not use any of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information other than to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Agreement and shall not disclose the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to anyone other than the receiving Party’s, Affiliates, employees, directors, professional advisors, business partners, suppliers, subprocessors, subcontractors, and independent contractors who have a need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement and who are subject to confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those contained in this section. The receiving Party shall protect the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, and disclosure in the same manner as the receiving Party protects its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature and with no less than reasonable care.
  3. Required Disclosure under Applicable Law. In the event any Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by a receiving Party under the terms of a valid and effective subpoena or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, or by a demand or information request from an executive or administrative agency, securities exchange, listing authority or other governmental authority, or is otherwise required by Applicable Law, the receiving Party requested or required to disclose such Confidential Information will, unless prohibited by the terms of a subpoena, order, demand, or request, (i) promptly notify the disclosing Party of the terms and circumstances surrounding such demand or request, and (ii) consult with the disclosing Party on the advisability of making legal efforts to resist or narrow such demand or request. If disclosure of such Confidential Information is required pursuant to the foregoing and regardless of whether the receiving Party is prohibited from notifying the disclosing Party of a subpoena, order, or demand, the receiving Party will use its reasonable efforts to narrow the scope of disclosure and obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information.
  4. Ownership of Confidential Information. As between the Company and the Customer, the Customer’s Confidential Information will remain the sole and exclusive property of the Customer, and the Company’s Confidential Information will remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company.
  5. Injunction as a Remedy. Each Party acknowledges that a breach of the provisions in this section will cause irreparable harm and damage and hereby agrees that the disclosing Party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief under this Agreement, as well as such further relief as may be granted under Applicable Laws.
  6. What Happens to Confidential Information When the Agreement is Terminated. Upon termination of the Agreement, each Party agrees to promptly return all Confidential Information of the other Party in its possession or under its control or to certify in writing that it has irreversibly destroyed such Confidential Information. Provided, however, that each Party may retain one copy of Confidential Information in accordance with its standard and routine backup procedures, provided that such copy shall remain confidential for so long as it is retained.
  7. Survival. This section survives termination of the Agreement for any reason.

 

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; DISCLAIMERS; WAIVERS. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT INCLUDES LIMITATIONS ON OUR LIABILITY, DISCLAIMERS OF LIABILITY, WAIVERS, AND OTHER LIMITATIONS OR RESTRICTIONS ON YOUR RIGHTS TO SEEK COMPENSATION FROM US FOR OUR ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL LIABILITY TO YOU.

  1. General Limitation on our Liability. In no event will we be liable for any damages, costs, claims, or other liabilities related to or arising out of this Agreement, whether in contract, negligence, or tort, in excess of the aggregate of the Fees paid or payable by the Customer under this Agreement during the three (3) month period immediately preceding the event or act giving rise to the cause of action or $100,000, whichever is less.
  2. Limitation on our Liability for Consequential Losses. In no event will we be liable for: (i) any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages of any kind, however caused and whether in contract, tort, or under any other theory of liability, or (ii) any loss of business, goodwill, profits, data, sales or revenue, work stoppage, or computer failure or malfunction, in each case whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
  3. General Disclaimer of Warranties. Except for the warranties stated expressly in this Agreement or an applicable SOW: (i) the Platform, Services, any content made available by the Company on the Platform, Beta Services, and all other Services are provided “as is”; and (ii) the Company specifically excludes all other warranties, conditions and other terms, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including implied warranties of merchantability, title, non-infringement, and fitness for a particular purpose, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or course of performance; in each case to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws. Unless expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement or by written agreement between the Parties, the Company does not warrant that (1) the operation of the Platform will be timely, secure, uninterrupted, or error-free, (2) any errors in the Platform can or will be corrected, or (3) the Platform or its functions, or any results of the use of the Platform, will meet the Customer’s requirements, including for reliability, availability, timeliness, quality, suitability, accuracy, or completeness. The Company will not be liable or responsible for any delays, interruptions, delivery or service failure, or any other problems or damages arising from the Customer’s use of the internet, electronic communications, or any other systems.
  4. Disclaimer of Liability for Third-Party Services. We make no representation and will have no liability or obligation whatsoever in relation to the content or use of, or correspondence, agreements, or transactions with, any Third-Party Services. You must comply with all agreements and other legal requirements that apply to Third-Party Services.
  5. Disclaimer and Notice Regarding Lawyer-Client Relationships.
    1. Self-Service Legal Documents. We are not a law firm. Our Platform gives you a software tool that helps you make your own Legal Documents. This includes all our self-directed legal document creation tools on the Platform that allow you to create, upload, access, edit, share, and store Legal Documents you create. Our Platform is designed and meant to be based on your own input and direction, not ours. Your Legal Documents are created based on your own input and decisions. The Legal Documents you create are not reviewed by a lawyer before or after you download them or otherwise access them through the Platform. While we aim to provide high-quality tools, templates, and legal information for you, when using the Platform we do not review any information you provide us for legal accuracy or sufficiency, make any legal conclusions, provide opinions about your selection of forms or documents or answers to any of the questions that guide you when creating Documents, or apply the law to the facts of your situation. We do not have a lawyer review the Documents you create on your own through our Platform. Our Platform is not a substitute for legal advice from a qualified lawyer licensed to practice in your jurisdiction. By using our Platform, you agree and understand that you do not have a lawyer-client relationship with us. You represent yourself in any legal matter you undertake through our Service.
    2. Lawyer Services through the Lawyer Marketplace. The Lawyer Marketplace is not a law firm. Lawyer Services provided to you by a Lawyer you find through the Lawyer Marketplace are provided by the Lawyer, not us. Legal Services are a Third-Party Service provided to you by the Lawyer and all the disclaimers and limitations on our liability in the Agreement apply to Legal Services. Without limiting the foregoing, we are not liable to you in any manner for the quality, speed of delivery, accuracy, or results of Legal Services. While we endeavour to create a high-quality, reliable marketplace through the Lawyer Marketplace, we also make no representation or warranty of any kind that a Lawyer is qualified to practice law in any jurisdiction or has the expertise to provide you with Legal Services.
  6. Disclaimer of Liability for Security Incidents. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, in no event will the Company be liable for any damage, loss, or injury resulting from unauthorized access to or use of the Platform or Customer Data or information contained within the Platform, except to the extent that the Company’s breach of its security standards expressly stated in this Agreement results in the unauthorized access.
  7. Disclaimer of Liability for Use of Data. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, in no event will the Company be liable for any damage, loss, or injury resulting from use of Customer Data by the Customer or its Authorized Users.
  8. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The warranties made by the Company in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Customer and no other third-party.
  9. Allocation of Risk. The essential purpose of this section is to allocate the risks under this Agreement between the Parties and limit their potential liability given the Fees charged by the Company under this Agreement, which would have been substantially higher if the Company were to assume any further liability. The Parties have relied on these limitations in determining whether to enter into this Agreement.
  10. Where Exclusions of Liability are not Permitted by Applicable Law. This section will apply to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Laws; nothing in this Agreement will operate to exclude or restrict any liability of a Party for any matter for which it is not permitted by Applicable Law to exclude or limit, or to attempt to exclude or limit, its liability.
  11. Survival. This section survives termination of the Agreement for any reason.

 

11. Term and Termination

Each Order Term will automatically renew for additional successive periods on the terms stated in the Order unless you cancel your access to the Platform prior to the next renewal period.

You will continue to be charged Fees during any period of suspension for a breach of the Agreement.
  5. Termination on Breach or Insolvency. A Party may immediately terminate this Agreement or any applicable Order or SOW on the occurrence of any of the following: (i) if the other Party materially breaches the Agreement and such breach is incapable of being cured, upon written notice to the breaching Party; (ii) if the other Party materially breaches the Agreement and such breach is capable of being cured, subject to any provisions of this Agreement giving an immediate or shorter right of termination, upon written notice to the breaching Party if the breaching Party does not cure the breach within 30 days after its receipt of written notice of the breach; (iii) immediately by written notice upon the other Party commencing or becoming subject to reorganization, winding up, insolvency, or bankruptcy proceedings under any national, federal, state or provincial statute, including the Companies’ Creditors’ Arrangement Act (Canada), the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA“) or any of the provincial equivalents to the CBCA, or the Winding-Up and Restructuring Act (Canada) or ceases to operate in the ordinary course of its business. If this Agreement is terminated by the Customer in accordance with this subsection, the Company will refund the Customer a pro rata portion of any prepaid unused Fees covering the remainder of the Term after the effective date of termination. If this Agreement is terminated by the Company in accordance with this subsection, the Customer will pay any unpaid Fees covering the remainder of the term of all Orders. In no event will termination relieve the Customer of its obligation to pay any Fees payable to the Company for the period prior to the effective date of termination.
  6. Effect of Termination (Agreement). Immediately in the event of any termination of the Agreement or expiration of the Term:
    1. Subject to any rights provided for in an Order or SOW that survive termination, all Orders or SOWs then in-effect will immediately terminate, and we will cease all Services on the effective date of termination or expiration of the Term, and any right you have to access the Platform under this Agreement will immediately terminate;
    2. Each Party will promptly return and make no further use of any materials and other items (and all copies of them) belonging to the other Party. Provided, however, that the foregoing does not limit our rights of use regarding Aggregate Data or to copies of Customer Data made as a matter of routine information technology backup that we must or choose to store in accordance with our record retention policy or as required by Applicable Law (including for tax and audit purposes), with such Customer Data being subject to the confidentiality and security provisions in this Agreement or under Applicable Law for so long as it is retained.
    3. We may erase or otherwise destroy the Customer Data in part or in whole unless we receive, no later than 10 days after the effective date of termination or expiration of the Term, written notice from you requesting the most recent extraction of the Customer Data. Within 30 days of receiving such notice, we will provide you with a copy of your Customer Data in a format reasonably requested by you and commercially practical for us to provide.
  7. Effect of Termination (Order or SOW). In the event of any termination or expiration of an Order or SOW, we will cease providing the applicable terminated or expired Services subject to the Order or SOW upon the effective date of termination or expiration of that Order or SOW.
  8. Fees. Termination will not relieve you of your obligation to pay all Fees and undisputed charges accrued and payable before the effective date of termination or non-refundable Fees due to the end of the applicable Order Term.
  9. Survival. All representations and warranties, disclaimers or limitations of liability, exclusions of warranties, the sections entitled “Definitions and Interpretation” and “Miscellaneous”, and any sections of this Agreement that provide ongoing rights or obligations that by their nature are meant to survive the termination of the Agreement or are expressly stated to survive, survive termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.
