- EX.CO may enable its partners (including its Customers) to use a data management platform that will enable them to manage their audience information and Data, pursuant to the terms of a Purchase Order or any other form of agreement entered between Customer and EX.CO. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible and assume all liability in connection with your use of any audience information and Data (whether through the data management platform or otherwise), including with respect to compliance with any applicable privacy laws or regulations.

EX.CO owns all Anonymous Information collected or obtained by EX.CO.
- Customer Branded Content
If applicable, Customer may create Embedded Items promoting a third party product, brand or sponsor (collectively, “Branded Content”) – in such case, in addition to the terms contained therein, the Customer represents and warrants that it is solely responsible to provide any notice or disclosure with respect to the display or promotion of the Branded Content, as required under applicable laws, including with respect to notifying the users with regards to the commercial nature of the Branded Content.

During such period, each party agrees that it will take reasonable steps, at least substantially equivalent to the steps it takes to protect its own Confidential Information, to prevent the disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information other than to its employees, affiliates, subsidiaries or other agents who must have access to such Confidential Information for such party to perform its obligations or exercise its rights hereunder, who will each agree to comply with this section.
- Upon termination or expiration of the relationship between the parties, Receiving Party shall, upon request, return to the Disclosing Party or destroy (at the Disclosing Party’s discretion) all materials containing Confidential Information.

It is EX.CO’s policy to terminate a customer’s access to and use of the Platform if the Customer repeatedly infringes or is repeatedly charged with infringing the copyrights of others. A Customer will be deemed a repeat infringer under EX.CO’s policy if EX.CO receives 3 DMCA takedown Notices concerning the Customer’s Content within a twelve-month period.
- Termination for Cause will be without any compensation or liability of EX.CO and shall not relieve Customer of any obligations arising or accruing prior to such termination or limit any liability which Customer otherwise may have to EX.CO, including without limitation any indemnification obligations contained herein.

- Indemnification
- If anyone brings a claim against Customer, subject to Section 13 (Links or Access to Third Party Content; Third Party Services), EX.CO shall defend Customer from and against any and all Losses resulting from, arising out of or related to third party claims alleging that Customer’s authorized use of the Platform (in accordance with the terms herein) infringes or constitutes misappropriation of any third party’s copyright, trademark or registered US patent (“IP Claims”), and EX.CO will indemnify Customer and hold Customer harmless against any Losses finally awarded on such IP Claim by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to via settlement we agreed upon, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
- If anyone brings a claim against EX.CO or its subsidiaries, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, partners, or agents, related to Customer’s use of Platform and services Customer’s will defend, indemnify and hold EX.CO including its and its subsidiaries’ shareholders, directors, officers, employees, partners and agents harmless from and against all damages, losses, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable legal fees and costs; collectively “Losses“) related to such claim. Customer shall also indemnify and hold EX.CO (including its and its subsidiaries’ shareholders, directors, officers, employees, partners, advertisers and agents) harmless from and against all Losses resulting from, arising out of, or related to: (i) the Asset or any content made available thereto; (ii) the Customer’s actions or omissions (including any claim concerning violation or infringement of these Terms, 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 with respect to any Customer Content uploaded by Customer); or (iv) the embedment of the Embedded Items on the Asset.
- EX.CO’s indemnity obligations under this Section shall not apply if: (i) the Platform (or any component or portion thereof) was modified by Customer or any third party, but solely to the extent the IP Claim would have been avoided by not doing such modification; (ii) if the Platform is used in combination with any other service, device, software or products, including, without limitation, Third Party Content and Services, but solely to the extent that such IP Claim would have been avoided without such combination; and/or (iii) any IP Claim arising or related to, the Customer Content or to any events giving rise to Customer’s indemnity obligations under this Section. Without derogating from the foregoing defense and indemnification obligation, if EX.CO believes that the Platform, 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 Platform; (ii) replace or modify the allegedly infringing part of the Platform 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 Platform and in such an event, Customer shall receive a prorated refund of any Subscription Fees paid for the unused portion of the Term. THIS SECTION STATES EX.CO’S SOLE AND ENTIRE LIABILITY AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, FOR ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION BY EX.CO AND/OR ITS SERVICE AND UNDERLYING TECHNOLOGY.
- The parties agree that in claiming any indemnification hereunder, the party claiming indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall (i) promptly notify the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the claim; (ii) grant the Indemnifying Party sole control over the defense (except that the Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, assist in the defense); and (iii) provide the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, with all assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense of the claim. In no event shall the Indemnifying Party enter into any settlement or agree to any disposition of the indemnified claim(s), without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.
- Limitations on Liability
- To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party (including its and its subsidiaries’ shareholders, directors, officers, employees, and agents) shall be liable for any personal injury, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues (regardless of whether we were advised of the possibility of such damages), whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, good-will, or other intangible losses.
- Save for claims arising out of gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breaches of confidentiality, in no event shall EX.CO’s (including its and its subsidiaries’ shareholders, directors, officers, employees, and agents) aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Platform or this Agreement exceed the fees paid to EX.CO by Customer for the use of the Platform in the six (6) month period preceding the events giving rise to the liability, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.

The arbitrator shall be a retired judge or justice of any New York State or federal court and shall follow New York substantive law in adjudicating the Dispute. This Section shall be construed as a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and shall satisfy the “writing” requirement of the FAA .If the value of your claim in the Dispute does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and EX.CO submit to the arbitrator, unless the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary.

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 these Terms 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 copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property 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.
