- If anyone brings a claim against EX.CO including its subsidiaries’ shareholders, directors, officers, employees, partners, and agents related to Customer’s use of the Services, Customer’s will defend, indemnify and hold EX.CO including its subsidiaries, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, and partners harmless from and against all damages, losses, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable legal fees and costs; collectively “Losses“) resulting from, arising out of, or related to such claim. Customer shall also indemnify and hold EX.CO (including its and its subsidiaries’ shareholders, directors, officers, employees, partners) harmless from and against all Losses resulting from, arising out of, or related to: (i) the Assets or any content made available thereunder; (ii) the Customer’s actions or omissions (including without limitation any claim concerning violation or infringement of this Agreement, of Proprietary Rights or the DPA); (iii) Customer’s breach or alleged breach of any of Customer’s representations, warranties or agreements set forth herein (including without limitation with respect to any Customer Content uploaded by Customer); or (iv) the Embedded Items on the Asset.

Without derogating from the foregoing defence and indemnification obligation, if EX.CO believes that the Services, or any part thereof, may give rise to IP Claims, then EX.CO may in its sole discretion: (i) obtain (at no additional cost to you) the right to continue to use the Services; (ii) replace or modify the allegedly infringing part of the Services so that it becomes non-infringing while giving substantially equivalent performance; or (iii) if EX.CO determines that the foregoing remedies are not reasonably available, then EX.CO may require that Customer cease its use of the (allegedly) infringing part of the Services and, in such an event, Customer shall receive a prorated refund of any undisputed Fees paid for the unused portion of the Term.

- Dispute Resolution; Arbitration
-
- This Agreement and your use of the Services shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
- For any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or in relation to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, or your access or use of the Platform (together “Dispute”), you agree to first contact us and attempt informal resolution. If unresolved for a period of thirty (30) days, the Dispute will be settled through binding arbitration before a single arbitrator pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures on an individual basis with no class relief. The arbitrator shall be a New York State or federal court judge and shall apply the New York law. This Section is a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). If the claim does not exceed $10,000, arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of submitted documents, unless the arbitrator requires a hearing. THE AGREEMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND A WAIVER OF THE ABILITY TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM IN A CLASS ACTION. All claims must be brought in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative capacity. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, or in the JAMS Rules to the contrary, the arbitrator shall have no authority to hear or determine any matters relating to any class claims or any claims asserted by class members or class representatives, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator shall have no authority to consolidate any arbitration claims. Nothing in this section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s Proprietary Rights and for matters related to data security or unauthorized access to the Platform.
- You and EX.CO agree to exclusively submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York, U.S.A, for any such actions and for any actions arising from or related to the arbitration.
- You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and EX.CO are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and to any right you may have to participate as a class representative or class member on any class claim you may have against EX.CO including any right to class arbitration or any consolidation of individual arbitrations. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person, if we are a party to the proceeding.
