11.1.1. UniHelper shall indemnify and defend Customer from and against any and all third-party claims for losses, damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) (“Losses”) incurred by Customer resulting from any third-party claim, suit, action, or proceeding (“Claim”) that the Services, or any use of the Services in accordance with this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates such third-party's intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to, patents, trademarks, copyrights, or trade secrets. SECTION 11.1 SETS FORTH CUSTOMER'S SOLE REMEDIES AND UNIHELPER'S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THE SERVICES INFRINGE, MISAPPROPRIATE, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATE ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD-PARTY.
11.1.2. If such a Claim is made or appears possible, Customer agrees to permit UniHelper, at UniHelper's sole discretion, to: (a) modify or replace the Services, or component or part thereof, to make it non-infringing; (b) obtain the right for Customer to continue its use; or (c) if UniHelper determines that neither (a) or (b) is commercially reasonable, UniHelper may terminate this Agreement, in its entirety or with respect to the affected component or part, effective immediately upon written notice to Customer, and provide Customer a prorated refund for any remaining Contract Period as of the effective date of UniHelper’s termination in accordance with this Section 11.1.2.
11.1.3. Section 11.1 will not apply to the extent that the alleged infringement or misappropriation arises from: (a) Customer’s or Customer’s Authorized User’s use of the Services in combination with data, software, hardware, equipment, or technology not provided by UniHelper, authorized by UniHelper in writing, or its continued use of the Services after UniHelper notifies Customer of any alleged or actual infringement or misappropriation; (b) modifications to the Services not made by UniHelper; (c) Customer Data; or (d) Customer Systems.
11.2. Customer’s Obligations. To the extent not expressly prohibited by applicable law, Customer shall be liable for any Losses resulting from any Claim incurred by UniHelper: (a) from Customer’s or its Authorized Users’ or Representatives’ gross negligence or more culpable act or omission (including recklessness or willful misconduct); (b) that the Customer Data, any use or processing of the Customer Data in accordance with this Agreement, or any permissible changes to the Services as provided for hereunder, including but not limited to Customer Created Content, infringes or misappropriates any third-party's intellectual property rights including, but not limited to, patents, trademarks, copyrights, or trade secrets; (c) that Customer’s use of the Services, in any way, is used in a manner which violates any law or regulation, including, but no limited to, anti-discrimination; (d) from Customer’s or its Authorized User’s use of the Services in combination with: (i) Customer’s use of the Services in combination with data, software, hardware, equipment, or technology not provided by UniHelper, or authorized by UniHelper in writing; (ii) modifications to the Services not made by UniHelper, including the creation and use of new survey questions; (iii) Customer Data or Customer and/or Authorized User Personally Identifiable Information; or (iv) Customer Systems; or (e) any other materials or information (including any documents, data, specifications, software, content, or technology) provided by or on behalf of Customer or any Authorized User, including UniHelper's compliance with any specifications or directions provided by or on behalf of Customer or any Authorized User to the extent prepared without any contribution by UniHelper.
11.3. Claim Procedure. To the extent not expressly prohibited by applicable law, each Party shall promptly notify the other in writing of any Claim for which such Party believes it is entitled to be indemnified or is liable pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 11.2, as applicable. The Party seeking restitution (the “Claimant”) shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party (the “Defender”) at the Defender's sole cost and expense. The Defender shall promptly assume control of the defense and shall employ counsel of its choice to handle and defend the same, at the Defender's sole cost and expense. The Claimant may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing. The Defender shall not settle any Claim on any terms or in any manner that adversely affects the rights of any Claimant without the Claimant's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Defender fails or refuses to assume control of the defense of such Claim, the Claimant shall have the right, but no obligation, to defend against such Claim, including settling such Claim after giving written notice to the Defender, in each case in such manner and on such terms as the Claimant may deem appropriate. The Claimant's failure to perform any obligations under this Section 11.3 will not relieve the Defender of its obligations under this Section 11, except to the extent that the Defender can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced because of such failure.
12. Limitations of Liability.

TO THE EXTENT NOT EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, AND OTHERWISE, FOR ANY: (a) CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, ENHANCED, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; (b) INCREASED COSTS, DIMINUTION IN VALUE, OR LOST BUSINESS, PRODUCTION, REVENUES, OR PROFITS; (c) LOSS OF GOODWILL OR REPUTATION; (d) USE, INABILITY TO USE, LOSS, INTERRUPTION, DELAY, OR RECOVERY OF ANY DATA, OR BREACH OF DATA OR SYSTEM SECURITY; OR (e) COST OF REPLACEMENT GOODS OR SERVICES, IN EACH CASE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PARTY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES OR SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES WERE OTHERWISE FORESEEABLE.

12.2. Liability Under Data Privacy Laws. The Parties' liability for damage suffered by a data subject or other natural persons which is due to a violation of data privacy laws, including, but not limited to, the General Data Protection Act (Regulation 2016/679) and or regulations that implement the General Data Protection Act, will follow the provisions of the applicable data privacy law.

14.1. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder (each, a “Notice”) must be in writing and addressed to the other Party at the addresses set forth above (or to such other address that may be designated by the Party giving Notice from time-to-time in accordance with this Section 14.1).

14.2. Force Majeure. In no event shall either Party be liable to the other Party, or be deemed to have breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under any Order and this Agreement (except for any obligations to make payments), if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond such Party's reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, epidemic or pandemic, or passage of law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo (each a “Force Majeure Event”), and so long as the Party provides prompt Notice to the other Party, then such Party’s obligations hereunder will be extended for the period of time of such Force Majeure Event.

14.4. Severability.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to implement their original intent as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
14.5. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, Mediation, and Arbitration; Class Waiver.
14.5.1. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall not be governed by the 1980 UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, but instead shall be governed by and construed under the laws of, without regard to its conflict of laws rules:
14.5.1.1. To the extent that applicable local law prevents certain Claims from being resolved in the applicable court set forth in Section 14.5.1.2 or Section 14.5.1.3, then Customer may file such Claim in its local courts. Likewise, if applicable local law prevents Customer’s local court from applying the governing law as set forth in Section 14.5.1.2 or Section 14.5.1.3, as applicable, to resolve such Claim, then such Claim will be governed by the applicable local laws of Customer’s country, state, or other place of residence as applicable.

14.5.2. In the event of any Claim arising out of this Agreement, the Parties must first escalate the Claim to members of their respective senior management team, and such personnel shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve the dispute for a minimum of thirty (30) days.
14.5.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under Section 6 and Section 7 or, in the case of Customer, Section 2.2, would cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and each Party agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled, prior to any request for mediation, to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.
14.6. Assignment. Customer may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of UniHelper. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section will be null and void. In the event of assignment by UniHelper, upon Notice thereof to Customer, Customer shall have the one-time right to terminate all Orders and this Agreement within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Notice with no further liability hereunder, and receive a prorated refund of any prepaid Fees from the effective date of such termination through the end of the applicable Contract Period(s).
