Customer shall indemnify and hold EX.CO (including its and its subsidiaries’ shareholders, directors, officers, employees, partners, advertisers and agents) 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 any claim against EX.CO 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 any Proprietary Rights); (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.
c. Subject to the UGC Disclaimer and the Third-Party Disclaimer, 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.
d. EX.CO’s indemnity obligations under this Section shall not apply if: (i) the Platform (or any 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 Software , but solely to the extent that such IP Claim would have been avoided without such combination; and/or (ii) 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 so infringe, 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 use of the (allegedly) infringing Platform (or part thereof) shall cease and in such an event, Customer shall receive a prorated refund of any Subscription Fees paid for the unused portion of the Subscription 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.

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.
a. To the maximum extent permitted by law, EX.CO (including its and its subsidiaries’ shareholders, directors, officers, employees, and agents) shall not 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.
b. 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 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. Applicable laws may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.
a. The Platform and all included content (including any EX.CO Content and/or the Embedded Items) are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis without warranty of any kind.

Arbitration & class action waiver
b. For any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or in relation to these Terms or to the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or to your access or use of the Platform (together “Dispute”), you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the Dispute with us informally. If EX.CO has not been able to resolve the Dispute with you informally, you and we agree to resolve any Dispute by binding individual arbitration. Any provision of applicable laws notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms. The arbitration shall be conducted in New York County, New York, U.S.A. If your claim 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.
c. 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. All claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims.
d. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and EX.CO are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a class representative or class member on any class claim you may have against us 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.
Modifications
a. We may revise these Terms, from time to time, in our sole discretion and the most current version will always be posted on our Website (as reflected in the “Last Revised” heading).

Email Notifications
c. We reserve the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to you, and you agree to receive legal notices electronically if we so choose.

You may unsubscribe at any time from such marketing communication.
Third-Party Beneficiaries
e. EX.CO’s subcontractors and third-party service providers are intended third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and upon your acceptance of these Terms EX.CO’s subcontractors and third-party service providers will have the right to enforce these Terms as related to the licenses granted herein against you as third-party beneficiaries thereof.
Severability and Entire Agreement
f. These Terms, together with Privacy Policy, applicable DPA(s) and any amendments thereto, and any additional agreements you may enter into with EX.CO or that may apply to your specific use of the Platform, constitute the entire agreement between you and EX.CO with respect to the use of the Platform, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether oral, written or electronic, between you and EX.CO. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.
Force Majeure
g. EX.CO shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation.
Assignment
h. These Terms are personal to you, and are not assignable, transferable or sub-licensable by you except with our prior written consent. We may assign, transfer or delegate any of our rights and obligations hereunder without consent.
Relationship
i. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of these Terms and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect.
No Waiver
j. Either party’s failure to enforce any part of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such party’s right to later enforce that or any other part of these Terms. Waiver of compliance in any particular instance does not mean that either party waives compliance in the future. In order for any waiver of compliance to be binding, a party must provide the other party with written notice of such waiver through one of its authorized representatives.
Export Control
k. You agree to comply with the export laws and regulations of the United States, Israel and any other country with jurisdiction over the Platform, and that you shall not export or re-export, directly or indirectly, the Platform or any technical information disclosed hereunder to any destination prohibited or restricted by applicable export control regulations.

a. EX.CO may terminate or suspend the licenses provided herein at any time and cease providing you access to our Channels Platform, with or without cause or notice to you.
If you violate these Channels Terms or if you violate any terms, restrictions or limitations specified in any additional agreement(s) you may enter into with EX.CO or that may apply to your specific use of the Channels Platform, or if you otherwise create risk or possible legal exposure for us, we can immediately stop providing you access to all or part of the Channels Platform and terminate the licenses provided herein (restricting your access to our Channels Platform) and/or the additional agreement(s), as applicable.
b. Upon termination, you continue to be bound by sections: License and Restrictions, Proprietary Rights, Privacy Policy, Termination, Indemnification, Limitations on Liabilities, Warranty Disclaimer, Disputes and Miscellaneous.
c. Termination of a Publisher’s access to and use of the Channels Platform shall not relieve Publisher of any obligations arising or accruing prior to such termination or limit any liability which Publisher otherwise may have to EX.CO, including without limitation any indemnification obligations contained herein.
15. Indemnification
If anyone brings a claim against us related to your use of our Channels Platform, you will indemnify and hold us (including our and our 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) related to such claim.
16. Limitations on Liabilities
a. To the maximum extent permitted by law, EX.CO (including its and its subsidiaries’ shareholders, directors, officers, employees, and agents) shall not 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.
b. 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 use of the Channels Platform and/or applicable signed Insertion Order agreement exceed the fees paid, if any, to Publisher by EX.CO in the six (6) month period preceding the events giving rise to the liability. The existence of one or more claims will not enlarge this limit. The parties acknowledge and agree that this section is an essential element of the agreement and that in its absence, the economic terms of this agreement would be substantially different. This section is severable and shall survive any termination or expiration of this agreement. Applicable laws may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.
17. Warranty Disclaimer
a. The Channels Platform and all included content (including any EX.CO Content, the Channels and/or the Advertisements) are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis without warranty of any kind. We specifically disclaim any and all warranties, express or implied, and conditions of merchantability, title, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the Channels Platform (including the Channels and the Advertisements) and all included content will always be complete, accurate, safe, secure, bug-free or error-free, or that the Channels Platform and all included content will always function without disruptions, delays or imperfections. We may change, suspend or discontinue the Channels Platform (or any part thereof, including the EX.CO Content) at any time, including the availability of any feature or database, without notice or liability. In addition, we may impose limits on certain features and services or restrict Publisher’s access to the Channels Platform (or any part thereof) without notice or liability.
b. We do not control or direct Publisher’s actions on our Channels Platform and are not responsible for the content or information Publisher transmits or publishes on or through our Channels Platform.
c. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim any responsibility or liability for the accuracy, reliability, availability, completeness, operability of the Channels Platform or to any content included in the Channels Platform.

18. Disputes
Governing law
a. These Channels Terms and your use of the Channels Platform shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. You and EX.CO agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of competent courts located in New York County, New York, for any actions not subject to the Arbitration section below.
Arbitration & class action waiver
b. For any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or in relation to these Channels Terms or to the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or to your access or use of the Channels Platform (together “Dispute“), you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the Dispute with us informally. If EX.CO has not been able to resolve the Dispute with you informally, you and we agree to resolve any Dispute by binding individual arbitration. Any provision of applicable laws notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Channel Terms. The arbitration shall be conducted in New York County, New York. If your claim 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.
c. 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 Channels Platform. All claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims.
d. You agree that, by entering into these Channels Terms, you and EX.CO are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a class representative or class member on any class claim you may have against us 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.
19. Modifications
We may revise these Channels Terms from time to time, in our sole discretion and the most current version will always be posted on our website (as reflected in the “Last Revised” heading). We encourage you to review these Channels Terms regularly for any changes. By continuing to access or use the Channels Platform after any revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Channels Terms.
20. Miscellaneous
Email Notifications
a. We reserve the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to you, and you agree to receive legal notices electronically if we so choose.
b. If you provided EX.CO with your contact information, EX.CO may send you marketing communications, from time to time, relating to our business or the businesses of carefully-selected third parties which EX.CO think may be of interest to you, pursuant to our Privacy Policy. By providing us your contact details (whether through an online registration form, an Insertion Order or in any other way) you specifically agree to this. You may unsubscribe at any time from such marketing communication(s) by contacting us through support@ex.co.
Third Party Beneficiaries
c. EX.CO’s subcontractors and third party service providers are intended third party beneficiaries of these Channel Terms and upon your acceptance of these Channel Terms, EX.CO’s subcontractors and third party service providers will have the right to enforce these Channels Terms as related to the licenses granted herein against you as third party beneficiaries thereof.
Severability and Entire Agreement
d. These Channels Terms, Privacy Policy, Data Protection Addendum (if applicable), and any amendments thereto and any additional agreements you may enter into with EX.CO or that may apply to your specific use of the Channels Platform, constitute the entire agreement between you and EX.CO with respect to the use of the Channels Platform, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether oral, written or electronic, between you and EX.CO. If any provision of these Channels Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Channels Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.
Force Majeure
e. EX.CO shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation.
Assignment
f. These Channels Terms are personal to you, and are not assignable, transferable or sub-licensable by you except with our prior written consent. We may assign, transfer or delegate any of our rights and obligations hereunder without consent.
Relationship
g. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of these Channel Terms and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect.
No Waiver
h. Our failure to enforce any part of these Channels Terms shall not constitute a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of these Channels Terms. Waiver of compliance in any particular instance does not mean that we will waive compliance in the future. In order for any waiver of compliance to be binding, we must provide you with written notice of such waiver through one of our authorized representatives.
Export Control
i. You agree to comply with the export laws and regulations of the United States and any other country with jurisdiction over the Channels Platform, and that you shall not export or re-export, directly or indirectly, the Channels Platform or any technical information disclosed hereunder to any destination prohibited or restricted by applicable export control regulations.
