TO THE EXTENT THAT SED AGENCY LLC MAY NOT, AS A MATTER OF APPLICABLE LAW, DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY, THE SCOPE AND DURATION OF SUCH WARRANTY WILL BE THE MINIMUM PERMITTED UNDER SUCH LAW.
6. Mutual Confidentiality
a. Definition of Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all non-public information disclosed by a party (“Discloser”) to the other party (“Recipient”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. SED AGENCY LLC’s Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the Services (including, without limitation, the Services’ user interface design and layout and pricing information), the Aggregate Data, the Usage Data, and all non-public SED AGENCY LLC techniques, technology and processes. Client’s Confidential Information shall include the Client Content.
b. Protection of Confidential Information. The Recipient must use the same degree of care to protect the confidentiality of the Discloser’s Confidential Information that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information (but in no event less than reasonable care). The Recipient must not disclose or use any Confidential Information of the Discloser for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement. The Recipient must make commercially reasonable efforts to limit access to Confidential Information of Discloser to those of its employees and contractors who need such access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who are bound by confidentiality obligations to Recipient no less restrictive than the confidentiality terms of this Agreement. The Recipient shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of all of its employees and contractors, and any breach of this Agreement by any of its employees and contractors shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by the Recipient.
c. Exclusions. Notwithstanding Section (a), Confidential Information excludes information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to Discloser; (ii) was known to the Recipient prior to its disclosure by the Discloser without breach of any obligation owed to the Discloser; (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to Discloser; or (iv) was independently developed by the Recipient without use or access to the Confidential Information. The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law or court order, but will provide Discloser with advance notice to seek a protective order to the extent allowed by law or court order. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or the Discloser waives compliance with the provisions of this Section, the Recipient may furnish only that portion of the Discloser’s Confidential Information which it is advised by its counsel is legally required to be disclosed, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to insure that confidential treatment will be afforded such disclosed portion of the Confidential Information.
d. Return/Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement, the Recipient will upon request of the Discloser, return to the Discloser, or destroy all copies of the Discloser’s Confidential Information, except for archival and back-up copies on back-up tapes maintained to comply with Applicable Laws.

SED AGENCY LLC will attempt to contact Client in advance of any suspension.
8. Liability Limit

EXCEPT FOR LIABILITY ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH A PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, BREACH OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COSTS OF DELAY, LOSS OF DATA, RECORDS OR INFORMATION, AND LOST PROFITS, REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED COST SAVINGS), EVEN IF IT KNOWS OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE OR LOSS.

SED AGENCY LLC will indemnify, defend and hold Client harmless from and against any liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Losses”) incurred by Client in connection with any third-party action, claim, or proceeding (each, a “Claim”) to the extent that such third-party Claim alleges that the Service or any SED AGENCY LLC technology used to provide the Service violates any US copyright, patent, trademark or other intellectual property right of a third party. If such a third-party Claim appears likely, then SED AGENCY LLC may, at its expense, (x) procure the necessary rights for Client to use the Service as provided in this Agreement and the applicable Order, (y) replace the infringing components of the Service or underlying technology with a substantially functional equivalent, or (z) suitably modify the Service or underlying technology so that it is non-infringing and functionally equivalent. If SED AGENCY LLC determines that none of these options are reasonably available, then SED AGENCY LLC may terminate the applicable Order and refund a pro-rata portion of any Fees prepaid by Client for Services not yet rendered. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, SED AGENCY LLC has no obligation to indemnify, defend, or hold Client harmless in connection with any Claim arising from (i) Client’s or any User’s combination of the Service with other technology, services, software or hardware where the infringement would not have occurred but for the combination; (ii) any unauthorized modifications, alterations, or implementations of the Service made by or on behalf of Client (other than by SED AGENCY LLC); (iii) Client’s or its Users’ use of the Service not in accordance with the documentation provided by SED AGENCY LLC, this Agreement, and/or an Order; or (iv) Client’s or its Users’ use of the Service in a manner or for a purpose for which they were not designed.

c. Procedure. The indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of any third-party Claim for which the indemnifying party may have obligations under this Section 9; provided, however, that any failure of the indemnified party to provide prompt written notice pursuant to this Section 9 shall excuse the indemnifying party only to the extent that it is prejudiced thereby. The indemnified party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party’s sole expense, with regard to the defense of any Claim. The indemnifying party shall have full control of any such Claim and the authority to settle or otherwise dispose of any suit or threatened suit. In no event, however, may the indemnifying party agree to any settlement of any Claim for which it has agreed to provide indemnification under this Agreement if such settlement would impose any liability or obligation upon the indemnified party, without the indemnified party’s prior, written consent.
