16. Mutual Indemnification.
    1. Indemnification by Searchmetrics. Searchmetrics shall defend Customer against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against Customer by a Third Party alleging that Customer’s use of the Searchmetrics Site or Searchmetrics IP as permitted hereunder infringes or misappropriates the patent, copyright, and trademark rights of a Third Party (a “Claim Against Customer“), and shall indemnify Customer for any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against Customer as a result of, or for amounts paid by Customer under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim Against Customer; provided that Customer (a) promptly gives Searchmetrics written notice of the Claim Against Customer, (b) give Searchmetrics sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against Customer (provided that Searchmetrics may not settle or defend any Claim Against Customer unless Searchmetrics unconditionally releases Customer of all liability), and (c) provide Searchmetrics with all reasonable assistance, at Searchmetrics’ expense. In the event of a Claim Against Customer, or if Searchmetrics reasonably believes that the Searchmetrics Site or Searchmetrics IP may infringe or misappropriate a Third Party’s Intellectual Property Rights, Searchmetrics may in its discretion and at no cost to Customer (i) modify the Searchmetrics Site or Searchmetrics IP so that they no longer infringe or misappropriate, (ii) obtain a license for Customer’s continued use of the Searchmetrics Site or Searchmetrics IP in accordance with this Agreement, or (iii) terminate Customer’s right to use such Searchmetrics Site or Searchmetrics IP upon thirty (30) days’ written notice and refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the applicable portion of the remainder of the Offer term after the effective date of termination. If a court orders Customer to cease using part or all of the Searchmetrics Site or Searchmetrics IP in connection with a Claim Against Customer, Searchmetrics shall take the actions described in subpart (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence, or if Searchmetrics cannot accomplish (i) or (ii) in a commercially reasonable manner, Searchmetrics shall take the actions described in subpart (iii) of the preceding sentence, all at no cost to Customer.
    2. Indemnification by Customer. Customer shall defend Searchmetrics and Searchmetrics’ Affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, shareholders, agents, licensors and representatives (“Indemnified Parties”), against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against one or more Indemnified Parties by a Third Party arising from or based on Customer’s breach of this Agreement or alleging that Customer’s use of the Searchmetrics Site or Searchmetrics IP in violation of the terms of this Agreement infringes or misappropriates the patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of a Third Party (a “Claim Against Searchmetrics”), and shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against the Indemnified Parties as a result of, or for any amounts paid by any Indemnified Party under a court-approved settlement of, a Claim Against Searchmetrics; provided that the Indemnified Parties (a) promptly give Customer written notice of the Claim Against Searchmetrics, (b) give Customer sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim Against Searchmetrics (provided that Customer may not settle or defend any Claim Against Searchmetrics unless Customer unconditionally releases the Indemnified Parties of all liability), and (c) provide to Customer all reasonable assistance, at Customer’s expense.
    3. Exclusive Remedy. This “Mutual Indemnification” section states the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of claim described in this section.
17. Confidentiality
    1. Confidential Information. The parties acknowledge that, in the course of performing their obligations under this Agreement, each may receive Confidential Information. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, any information, technical data or know-how that relates to research, products, services, customers, markets, software, developments, inventions, processes, designs, drawings, engineering, marketing, finances or trade secrets. Each party covenants and agrees that neither it nor its agents, employees, officers, directors or representatives will disclose or cause to be disclosed any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except (a) to those employees, representatives, or contractors of the Receiving Party who require access to the Confidential Information to exercise rights under this Agreement and who are bound by written agreement, with terms at least as restrictive as these, not to disclose Confidential Information, or (b) as such disclosure may be required by law or governmental regulation, subject to the Receiving Party providing to the Disclosing Party written notice to allow the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent the disclosure. Nothing in this Agreement will prohibit or limit the Receiving Party’s use of information: (a) previously known to it without obligation of confidence, (b) independently developed by or for it without use of or access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, (c) acquired by it from a Third Party that is not under an obligation of confidence with respect to such information, or (d) that is or becomes publicly available through no breach of this Agreement. The Receiving Party acknowledges the irreparable harm that improper disclosure of Confidential Information may cause; therefore, the injured party is entitled to seek equitable relief, including temporary restraining order(s) or preliminary or permanent injunction, in addition to all other remedies, for any violation or threatened violation of this Section.
    2. Destruction. Within five (5) days after a Disclosing Party’s request, the Receiving Party shall return or destroy the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall be entitled to retain archival copies of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party solely for legal, regulatory or compliance purposes unless otherwise prohibited by law.
18. Injunctive Relief. The parties agree that any actual or threatened breach of Section 3 or Section 17 will constitute irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for such breach or threatened breach. The parties agree that in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the aggrieved party will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief and may obtain an order restraining any threatened or future breach, without having to furnish proof of actual damages or posting a bond or other surety. Nothing in this Section 18 limits any remedies available to the aggrieved party at law or in equity for a breach of this Agreement.
19. Final Provisions
    1. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement is governed by and will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California. The parties to this Agreement expressly exclude the application to this Agreement of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The parties to this Agreement unconditionally and irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in San Francisco, San Mateo or Santa Clara County, California and waive any objection with respect to those courts for the purpose of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and further agree not to commence any such action or proceeding except in those courts.
    2. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications regarding this Agreement must be in writing and
       (i) delivered in person, by reputable overnight courier services (with signature required) or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties to this Agreement at the addresses provided in the Offer; or
       (ii) sent by email to the other party’s notice email address set out in the Offer for the Customer and to [email protected] for Searchmetrics.
    3. Additional Terms. This Agreement, including the Offer and any other terms and conditions agreed between the parties in writing, constitutes the entire agreement between Customer and Searchmetrics regarding its subject matter and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings between Customer and Searchmetrics relating to the same subject matter. If any provision of the Offer conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement, the provision contained in the Offer will govern to the extent of the conflict. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument signed by an authorized representative of each party to this Agreement. The failure by either party to this Agreement to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision in that or any other instance. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable for any reason, then that provision will (if possible) be modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it valid and enforceable and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either party to this Agreement. This Agreement is personal to Customer, and Customer may not assign it without Searchmetrics’ express written consent. Any assignment in violation of this Section is null and void. As used in this Agreement, “includes” or “including” means “includes (or including), without limitation.”
