4. Renewal. If Customer selects the automatic renewal option at the time of Customer's Subscription, Customer's Subscription shall automatically renew at the expiration of the then-current Term, unless Customer provides Project Partners with a written notice to cancel Customer's Subscription at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Customer's then-current Term.

If any taxes are required by law to be withheld on payments made by Customer to Project Partners, Customer may deduct such taxes from the amount owed Project Partners and pay them to the appropriate taxing authority; provided, however, that Customer shall promptly secure and deliver to Project Partners an official receipt for any such taxes withheld and/or other documents necessary to enable Project Partners to claim a foreign tax credit, if applicable. Customer will make best efforts to ensure that any taxes withheld are minimized to the full extent possible under applicable law.

FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE PP PARTIES' LIABILITY LIMITS AND OTHER RIGHTS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 13 APPLY LIKEWISE TO EACH OF THE PP PARTIES' RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY, “ASSOCIATES”).

Verifying Compliance

During the Term and for three (3) years thereafter, Customer shall keep all usual and proper records relating to the Subscription(s) and Customer's use of the Service under this Agreement. Project Partners may request that Customer conduct an internal audit, and/or permit Project Partners or its agents to conduct an audit, of all use of the Service throughout Customer's organization, comparing the number and type of User Licenses in use by Customer to the number and type of User Licenses issued to and/or paid for by Customer. By requesting an audit, Project Partners does not waive its rights to enforce this Agreement or to protect Project Partners’ intellectual property by any other means permitted by law. If verification or self-audit reveals any unlicensed use, Customer must promptly pay any fees applicable to Customer's use of the Service in excess of Customer's rights. If material unlicensed use is found, Customer shall reimburse Project Partners for the costs Project Partners has incurred in verification and shall acquire the necessary additional rights to use the Service at single retail license cost within thirty (30) days. Customer agrees that Project Partners shall not be responsible for any of Customer's costs incurred in conducting or cooperating with any audit.

INDEMNIFICATION

Customer agrees to indemnify and hold each of the PP Parties and their respective Associates (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless, and at Project Partners’ option defend the Indemnified Parties, from and against any and all third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, lawsuits, proceedings, costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs) (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of or relating to Customer's and/or its Users' (a) use of the Service, including but not limited to, any claims that any Content submitted to or transmitted through the Service from Customer's account infringes or violates a third party's intellectual, proprietary, privacy or publicity rights, or (b) breach or violation of this Agreement. If Customer is obligated to indemnify Project Partners and/or the other Indemnified Parties, Project Partners may, in its sole and absolute discretion, control the defense and disposition (including its possible settlement) of any Claim at Customer's sole cost and expense. Without limitation of the foregoing, Customer will not settle, compromise or in any other manner dispose of any Claim without the written consent of Project Partners. Customer's obligations under this Section will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

MEDIATION AND BINDING ARBITRATION

Project Partners will make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes or disagreements that Customer may have with Project Partners. If those efforts fail, Customer agrees that any complaint, dispute or disagreement Customer may have against Project Partners, and any claim that Project Partners may have against Customer, arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with this Agreement, any purchases or other transactions or relationships with Project Partners, or Customer's use of or interaction with the Service and any related services or content (collectively, “PPTransactions or Relationships”) will be settled, first, by mediation to take place within thirty (30) days of the written notice of such dispute and, second, if the parties are unable to settle such dispute by mediation in such thirty (30)-day period, then by binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) administered by JAMS or its successor (“JAMS”) and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the “Applicable Rules”). The Applicable Rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. If JAMS is no longer in existence, the Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the “AAA”) instead, and conducted in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at that time (which shall be the “Applicable Rules” in such circumstances). You further agree to the following:

The Arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Applicable Rules or by mutual agreement between Customer and Project Partners (the “Arbitrator”).
The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement and/or these arbitration provisions in this Section 16, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable.
The Arbitration shall be conducted in the English language and held either: (i) in Los Angeles County, California, U.S.A.; or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by Customer and Project Partners; or (iii) at Customer's election, if the only claims in the arbitration are asserted by Customer and are for less than $10,000 in aggregate, by telephone or by written submission.
The Arbitrator (i) shall entertain any motion to dismiss, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or any other dispositive motion consistent with California or federal rules of procedure, as applicable; (ii) shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; and (iii) shall have authority to award any form of legal or equitable relief.
The Arbitration can resolve only Customer's and/or Project Partners’ individual claims, and the Arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain or arbitrate any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.
The Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator's complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an “Award”). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and its share of the costs of the arbitration, as the Arbitrator determines. In no event will the Arbitrator have the authority to award punitive damages or any other damages expressly limited by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 16, a party may seek equitable relief by court action before or after instituting arbitration, including, without limitation, seeking and obtaining temporary restraining orders, injunctions or other provisional, ancillary or equitable remedies, and the institution and maintenance of any such action shall not constitute a waiver of the right to arbitrate any controversy or claim.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer and Project Partners adopt and agree to implement the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure with respect to any final Award in the Arbitration.
CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT CUSTOMER AND PROJECT PARTNERS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPOSED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING IN ANY FORUM.
Project Partners may modify these arbitration provisions, but such modifications shall only become effective thirty (30) days after Project Partners has given notice of such modifications and only on a prospective basis for claims arising from PP Transactions and Relationships occurring after the effective date of such notification.

  Attention: Legal Department
1. Assignment. Customer may not assign this Agreement or any of Customer's rights or obligations hereunder without Project Partners’ prior written consent. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties' respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives and permitted assigns.
2. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
3. Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or any subsequent breach. Any waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
4. Limitations Period. Unless otherwise required by law, and except for actions for nonpayment or breach of Project Partners’ proprietary rights, any claim or cause of action (including any arbitration) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other PP Transactions or Relationships must be commenced within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose.
5. Governing Law. This Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties arising from this Agreement, shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws principles, except that (a) if Customer is an entity of the U.S. Government, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United States, and (b) if Customer is an entity of a state or local government in the United States, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of such state. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act and the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and its related instruments shall not apply to this Agreement or Orders placed under it.

6. Jurisdiction. Subject to the arbitration provisions above, any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other PP Transactions or Relationships must be brought exclusively in the state and federal courts located in San Mateo County, State of California, USA, and Customer irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that it is a convenient forum and that Customer will not seek to transfer such action or proceeding to any other forum or jurisdiction, under the doctrine of forum non conveniens or otherwise, and Customer agrees to waive any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. The foregoing choice of jurisdiction and venue does not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief with respect to a violation of intellectual property rights or confidentiality obligations in any appropriate jurisdiction. If Customer is an entity of the U.S. Government or an entity of a state or local government, this Section does not apply and jurisdiction and venue will be determined by applicable law.
7. Equitable Relief. The parties agree that a material breach of this Agreement adversely affecting Project Partners’ or its suppliers' or licensors' intellectual property rights in the Service or either party's confidential information may cause irreparable injury to such party for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy and the non-breaching party shall be entitled to equitable relief (without a requirement to post a bond) in addition to any remedies it may have under this Agreement or at law.
8. Non-Exclusivity. This Agreement is non-exclusive to both Customer and Project Partners. Customer is free to enter into agreements to license, use or promote non-Project Partners products, software or services.
9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the information which is incorporated into this Agreement by written reference), any applicable SLA and the pricing and payment terms set forth in the applicable Order constitute the entire agreement concerning the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, communication and understandings of the parties, written or oral, relating to such subject matter. It is expressly agreed that the terms of this Agreement shall supersede the terms in any purchase order or other non-Project Partners document and no terms included in such purchase order or other non-Project Partners document shall apply to the Service ordered by Customer.
10. Customer Consent to Partner Fees. When Customer places an Order for the Service, it may have the opportunity, at its sole discretion, to identify a Project Partners “Partner of Record” associated with its Subscriptions. By identifying a Partner of Record, directly or by authorizing a third party to do so, Customer consents to Project Partners paying certain fees to the Partner of Record. The fees are for pre- sales support to Project Partners and may also include post-sales support to Customer. The fees are based on, and increase with the size of, Customer's Order.
11. Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond either party's reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God (including fire, flood, earthquake, storm, hurricane or other natural disaster), explosion, power blackout, riots, strike, embargo, labor disputes, acts of civil or military authority, war, hostilities, terrorism (including cyber terrorism), electric, internet or telecommunications outage, or actions or omissions of regulatory or governmental bodies (including the passage of laws or regulations or other acts of government that impact the delivery of the Service). This Section will not, however, apply to Customer's payment obligations under this Agreement.
12. User ID. Customer agrees that it is responsible for protecting the confidentiality of any Project Partners User ID's or other authentication ID's associated with the Service or this Agreement.
13. Government Regulation. Customer acknowledges that the Service may be subject to export restrictions by the U.S. government and import restrictions by certain foreign governments. Customer may not export or re-export the Service except in compliance with the U.S. Export Administration Act and the related rules and regulations and similar non-U.S. government restrictions, if applicable. Customer shall not and shall not allow any third party to remove or export from the United States or allow the export or re-export of any portion of the Service or any direct product thereof: (a) into (or to a national or resident of) any embargoed or terrorist-supporting country; (b) to anyone on the U.S. Commerce Department's Table of Denial Orders or U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals; (c) to any country to which such export or re-export is restricted or prohibited, or as to which the U.S. government or any agency thereof requires an export license or other governmental approval at the time of export or re-export without first obtaining such license or approval; or (d) otherwise in violation of any export or import restrictions, laws or regulations of any United States or foreign agency or authority. Customer agrees to the foregoing and warrants that it is not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such prohibited country or on any such prohibited party list. The Service is further restricted from being used for: (i) terrorist activity, or (ii) the design or development of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons or missile technology, without the prior permission of the U.S. government. The Service and accompanying Documentation are deemed to be “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation”, respectively, pursuant to DFAR Section 227.7202 and FAR Section 12.212(b), as applicable. Any use, modification, reproduction, release, performing, displaying or disclosing of the Service and Documentation by the U.S. government shall be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement.
14. Modifications. Project Partners shall have the right, in its sole discretion and subject to Section 16(j), to add to, change or modify the terms of this Agreement at any time and to change, delete, discontinue or impose conditions on any feature or aspect of the Service, including, but not limited to, pricing, technical support options and other product-related policies, upon notice by any means Project Partners determines in its discretion to be reasonable, including posting information concerning any such change, addition, modification, deletion, discontinuance or conditions in the Service or on any Project Partners-sponsored website. Any use of the Service by you after Project Partners’ publication of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as modified. Therefore, Customer should review this Agreement before using the Service and be sure to return to this page periodically to ensure familiarity with the most current version of this Agreement. To the extent that an arbitrator or court of applicable jurisdiction determines that applying any changes to this Agreement would render this an illusory or unenforceable contract, such changes shall be applicable on a prospective basis only, with respect to events or circumstances occurring after the date of such changes, to the extent necessary to avoid this Agreement being deemed illusory or unenforceable.
15. English Language Controls. The English language version of this Agreement controls.

17. Independent Contractor. The parties are independent contractors.

Each of Customer and Project Partners shall be responsible for paying for its own employees, including employment related taxes and insurance.
18. Business Partners. Customer understands that Project Partners’ business partners, including any third-party firms retained by Customer to provide computer consulting services, are independent of Project Partners and are not Project Partners’ agents. Project Partners is not liable for not bound by any acts of any such business partner, unless the business partner is providing services as a Project Partners subcontractor on an engagement ordered under this Agreement.
