Disclaimers

EXCEPT IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT, KHA, ITS LICENSEES, AFFILIATES, AND THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, DISCLAIM, AND EXPRESSLY DO NOT PROVIDE ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANT-ABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU MAY HAVE OTHER STATUTORY RIGHTS. HOWEVER, THE DURATION OF STATUTORILY REQUIRED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE SHORTEST PERIOD PERMITTED BY LAW. KHA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DELAYS, INTERRUPTIONS, SERVICE FAILURES AND OTHER PROBLEMS INHERENT IN USE OF THE INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR OTHER SYSTEMS OUTSIDE THE REASONABLE CONTROL OF KHA. KHA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DECISIONS OR ACTIONS TAKEN (OR NOT TAKEN) BY YOU BASED UPON YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. ANY CONTENT DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SERVICE IS DOWNLOADED AT YOUR OWN RISK AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM SUCH DOWNLOAD OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

Limitation of Liability

NEITHER KHA NOR ITS SUPPLIERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST OR INACCURATE DATA, FAILURE OF SECURITY MECHANISMS, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, COSTS OF DELAY OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, RELIANCE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE. KHA’S AND ITS SUPPLIERS’ ENTIRE LIABILITY TO YOU SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID OR PAYABLE BY YOU TO KHA UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE THEN CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION TERM.

The parties agree that the limitations specified in this Section 10 will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Each party acknowledges that the foregoing limitations are an essential element of the Agreement and a reasonable allocation of risk between the parties and that in the absence of such limitations the pricing and other terms set forth in this Agreement would be substantially different.

Confidentiality

Confidential Information” of either party will mean information disclosed to or learned by the receiving party concerning the disclosing party’s business, customers, products, proposed products, plans, inventions, processes and techniques, which is designated as “Confidential”, “Proprietary” or some similar designation or should reasonably be considered to be confidential or proprietary due to its nature or the context of its disclosure. Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public through no fault or breach on the part of the receiving party; (ii) the receiving party obtains from a third party rightfully, without breach of nondisclosure obligations and without restriction on disclosure; (iii) the disclosing party regularly provides to others without restriction on disclosure; (iv) or the disclosing party has consented to being made public. For clarity, when a User requests KHA to upload Content to the Service on their behalf, the User consents to those documents being made public. Except as explicitly authorized in writing by this Agreement or otherwise, each party will: (a) not use, for its own benefit or the benefit of any third party, the other party’s Confidential Information; and (b) use all reasonable care, but in no event less care than it takes to protect its own Confidential Information of similar importance, to protect the other party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, disclosure and publication. Both parties acknowledge that the breach of this Section 10 could cause great or irreparable injury to the disclosing party and that pecuniary compensation would not afford adequate relief, and therefore, that upon any such unauthorized disclosure by the receiving party, the disclosing party shall be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law. Within five (5) days after termination of this Agreement, each receiving party shall destroy or deliver to the disclosing party, at the disclosing party’s option, all materials in receiving party’s possession or control that contain or disclose any Confidential Information of the disclosing party.

Termination

KHA, in its sole discretion, may terminate or suspend your account at any time if, in KHA’s sole discretion, you violate any term or provision of this Terms of Service without prior notice or liability to you. If you default in the performance of any material provision of this Terms of Service, including without limitation any payment obligations due under Section 4, then KHA may give written notice to you that if the default is not cured within ten (10) days the Agreement will be terminated. If KHA gives such notice and the default is not cured during the ten (10) day period, then the Agreement shall automatically terminate at the end of that period. Upon termination of your account, your right to use the Service will immediately cease and all amounts due shall become immediately due and payable. Sections 3, 4 (to the extent not satisfied), 6-13 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Terms of Service. Upon termination of this Terms of Service for any reason, you shall cease all use of the Service and you shall destroy and remove from all computers, hard drives, networks, and other storage media all copies of the Service and any the data, and shall so certify, if requested, to KHA that such actions have occurred.

General

Assignment
This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without KHA’s prior written permissions, but may be assigned by KHA without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.

No Agency
Neither party has the ability to bind the other party to any agreements or other obligations and will not attempt to do so. KHA and you are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement creates any partnership, joint venture or agency relationship. As between each other, each party is fully responsible for all persons and entities it employs or retains.

Governing Law
You agree that: (i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in Indiana; and (ii) the Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Indiana. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Indiana, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Lake County, Indiana for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunction or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Lake County, Indiana is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.

Arbitration
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM KHA. For any dispute with KHA, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that KHA has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunction or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in Lake County, Indiana, unless you and KHA agree otherwise. If you are using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing KHA from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights.

Jury Trial Waiver
YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND KHA ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

Notification Procedures
All notices from you to KHA must be given in writing and sent by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested), by hand or messenger delivery, by overnight delivery service, by facsimile with receipt confirmed, by electronic mail, to KHA’s addresses provided on the Service. Any notice or report delivered in accordance with this Section will be deemed given on the date actually delivered; provided that any notice or report deemed given or due on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday will be deemed given or due on the next business day. KHA may provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous posting of such notice on our website, as determined by KHA in our sole discretion. KHA reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to our Users, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers. KHA is not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to email notifications we send to the email address you provide us. We recommend that you add support@kha.com to your email address book to help ensure you receive email notifications from us.

Entire Agreement/Severability
This Agreement, together with any Order Forms and amendments you may enter into with KHA in connection with the Service, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and KHA concerning the Service. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

No Waiver
No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and KHA’s failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Export Restrictions
