8.2. From Customer.
(a) Re Customer Itself.

9. INDEMNIFICATION.
Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DISPL and the DISPL Associates (as defined below) against any “Indemnified Claim,” meaning any third party claim, suit, or proceeding arising out of or related to Customer's alleged or actual use of, misuse of, or failure to use the Software, including without limitation: (a) claims by Customer’s Clients or other Users or by Customer's or Customer’s Clients’ employees; (b) claims related Data Incidents (as defined below); (c) claims related to infringement or violation of a copyright, trademark, trade secret, or privacy or confidentiality right by written material, images, logos or other content uploaded to the Software through Customer’s account, including without limitation by Customer Data; and (d) claims that use of the Software through Customer’s account, including by Customer’s Clients or other Users, harasses, defames, or defrauds a third party or any other law or restriction on electronic advertising. INDEMNIFIED CLAIMS INCLUDE, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO DISPL’S NEGLIGENCE. Customer’s obligations set forth in this Article 9 include, without limitation: (i) settlement at Customer’s expense and payment of judgments finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction, as well as payment of court costs and other reasonable expenses; and (ii) reimbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred before Customers’ assumption of the defense (but not attorneys’ fees incurred thereafter). If Customer fails to assume the defense on time to avoid prejudicing the defense, DISPL may defend the Indemnified Claim, without loss of rights pursuant to this Article 9. DISPL will have the right, not to be exercised unreasonably, to reject any settlement or compromise that requires that it or a DISPL Associate admit wrongdoing or liability or subjects either of them to any ongoing affirmative obligation. (“DISPL Associates” are DISPL’s officers, directors, shareholders, parents, subsidiaries, agents, successors, and assigns. A “Data Incident” is any (1) unauthorized disclosure of, access to, or use of Customer Data, including without limitation Excluded Data, or (2) violation of Privacy Policy through Customer’s account.

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the pricing determined by DISPL, and the decision to enter into this Agreement, is based upon the limitations of liability and disclaimers of warranties and damages specified in this Article 10, which form a fundamental element of the agreement between the parties. If applicable law restricts the application of this Article 10, DISPL’s liability will be limited to the maximum extent permissible. For the avoidance of doubt, the liability limits and other rights set forth in this Article 10 apply likewise to DISPL’s affiliates, licensors, suppliers, advertisers, agents, sponsors, directors, officers, employees, consultants, and other representatives.

Without limiting DISPL’s other rights and remedies, DISPL may suspend or terminate a Customer’s Client’s or other User’s access to the Software at any time, without advanced notice, if DISPL reasonably concludes such Customer’s Client or other User has conducted itself in a way that is not consistent with the requirements of this Agreement or the EULA, or in a way that subjects DISPL to potential liability.
11.3. Effects of Termination.

12.5. Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law that would render any clause of this Agreement invalid or otherwise unenforceable in any respect. In the event that a provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such provision will be interpreted to fulfill its intended purpose to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
12.6. No Waiver. Neither party will be deemed to have waived any of its rights under this Agreement by lapse of time or by any statement or representation other than by an authorized representative in an explicit written waiver. No waiver of a breach of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other breach of this Agreement.
12.7. Choice of Law & Jurisdiction.
In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the parties will consult and negotiate with each other and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a solution satisfactory to both parties.

If you are located in the United States, this Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions) must be brought in state or federal court in San Francisco, California, unless both you and DISPL agree to some other location. You and DISPL both consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in San Francisco, California.

12.8. Technology Export. Customer shall not: (a) permit any third party to access or use the Software in violation of any U.S. law or regulation, EU embargo rules and restrictions or (b) DISPL Export Compliance Policy.

12.9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any applicable Additional Documents, sets forth the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous writings, negotiations, and discussions with respect to its subject matter. Neither party has relied upon any such prior or contemporaneous communications.
12.10. Amendment. DISPL may amend this Agreement from time to time by posting an amended version at its Website. Except as otherwise indicated below, modifications to this Agreement will take effect at the next renewal of your Subscription Term and will automatically apply as of the renewal date unless you elect not to renew pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases (e.g., to address compliance with laws, or as necessary for new features) we may specify that such modifications become effective during your then-current Subscription Term. If the effective date of such modifications is during your then-current Subscription Term and you object to the modifications, then (as your exclusive remedy) you may terminate your affected Orders upon notice to us, and we will refund you any fees you have pre-paid for use of the affected Software products for the terminated portion of the applicable Subscription Term. To exercise this right, you must provide us with notice of your objection and termination within thirty (30) days of us providing notice of the modifications. For the avoidance of doubt, any Order is subject to the version of this Agreement in effect at the time of the Order. Also, this Agreement may not be amended in any other way except through a written agreement by authorized representatives of each party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.10, DISPL may revise this Agreement and EULA and Documentation at any time by posting a new version of either at the Website, and such new version will become effective on the date it is posted; provided if such amendment materially reduces Customer’s rights or protections, notice and consent will be subject to the requirements above in this Section 12.10.
In the event of a discrepancy between the terms of the EULA and this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail.
