You shall defend, indemnify, and hold Passageways harmless against any loss, damage, or costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) payable to third parties in connection with a Claim that (a) You have used OnBoard other than in compliance with this Agreement; (b) related to Posted Content and/or any materials provided to Passageways by or on behalf of You, including, but not limited to, an allegation that such Posted Content or other material infringes or violates the proprietary, privacy or contractual rights of a third party or has otherwise harmed a third party; (d) the operation of any board(s) associated with the OnBoard Sites; or (e) arises from your negligence or willful misconduct.

12.3 Procedure. As an express condition to the indemnifying Party’s obligation under this Section 12, the Party seeking indemnification must: (a) promptly notify the indemnifying Party in writing of the applicable Claim for which indemnification is sought; and (b) provide the indemnifying Party with all non-monetary assistance, information and authority reasonably required for the defense and settlement of such Claim. The indemnifying Party may select counsel for defense of the Claim and direct and control the course of any litigation or other disputed proceedings concerning the Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 12.1 or 12.2, for so long as the indemnifying Party is diligently conducting such defense, it shall not be liable for any attorney’s fees of the indemnified Party. The indemnified Party shall cooperate with the indemnifying Party in a defense and settlement of any such Claim provided that, except if the last sentence of this Section is applicable, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable under this Section 12 for any settlement or compromise negotiated by the indemnified Party unless the indemnifying Party agrees in writing to be so bound. The indemnifying Party must obtain the indemnified Party’s consent to any settlement (said consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except that no such consent shall be required if the settlement or compromise (i) provides only for payment of money damages which are paid fully by the indemnifying Party and/or, where intellectual property rights of third parties are involved, limitations on continued use of materials or items covered by such third party intellectual property rights. If the indemnified Party provides notice of a Claim in accordance with (a) and is not notified within 15 days thereafter that the indemnifying Party intends to defend the Claim, the indemnified Party shall be entitled to defend such Claim, and settle or compromise such Claim, subject to the indemnification provided for herein.

13. Non-Solicitation of Employees

13.1 During the Subscription Term and for a period of one (1) year from the date of termination of this Agreement (the “Non-Solicitation Period”), You will not solicit or cause to be solicited for employment or contract, directly or indirectly, any person who is then, or has been within the prior six months, employed or contracted by Passageways and directly involved in providing Services hereunder, without Passageways’ prior written consent. If Passageways does not give its consent to You and an employee/contractor of Passageways is employed or contracted by You at any time during the Non-Solicitation Period, then You shall pay Passageways a fee in the amount of one times (1x) the annual salary (or equivalent of one-year contractor payments) of such employee/contractor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You may solicit and hire such person through general public advertisements that are not primarily targeted at such person.

14. General Provisions

14.1 Relationship of the Parties. The Parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the Parties.

14.2 Notices. All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given upon: (a) personal delivery; (b) the second (2nd) business day after mailing; (c) the first (1st) business day after sending by overnight courier services; or (d) when sent, if sent by electronic mail (with a “read receipt” requested) during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not sent during normal business hours, then on the recipient’s next business day, and provided that either a “read receipt” has been received by the sending Party (the Parties hereby agreeing that they shall confirm or acknowledge a read receipt when they receive an electronic mailing), or a response to or acknowledgement of the email has been received by the sending Party. Notices to Passageways shall be addressed to the attention of its President. Notices to You shall be addressed to your signatory of this Agreement unless otherwise designated below.

14.3 Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that right. Any waiver in a particular instance shall not constitute a waiver of the same or different rights or breaches in any other instance. Other than as expressly stated herein, the remedies provided herein are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other remedies of a Party at law or in equity.

14.4 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited and unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provisions in any other jurisdiction. If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the Parties.

14.5 Assignment. Neither Party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement in its entirety, without consent of the other Party, in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganisation, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets not involving a direct competitor of the other Party. Any attempt by a Party to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement in breach of this Section shall be void and of no effect. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.

14.6 Force Majeure. If either Party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by Force Majeure (as defined below) to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, that Party shall give to the other Party prompt notice of the force majeure with reasonably full particulars concerning it. Thereupon the obligations of the Party giving notice, so far as they are affected by the Force Majeure, shall be suspended during, but no longer than, the continuance of the Force Majeure. The affected Party shall use all reasonable diligence to remove the Force Majeure as quickly as possible. The term “Force Majeure” shall mean an act of God, strike, industrial disturbance, act of the public enemy, war, blockage, public riot, lightning, fire, storm, flood, failure of utilities, failure of internet or hosting facilities, any unauthorised server or computer violation or other security violation, explosion, governmental restraint, or any other cause, whether of the kind specifically enumerated above or otherwise, which is not reasonably within the control of the Party claiming suspension. If a Party cannot perform under this Agreement for a period of thirty (30) or more consecutive days, the other Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice given prior to any recommencement of performance. This Section shall not excuse any non-payment of monies or fees owed from one Party to the other.

14.7 Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, and is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. Any dispute arising out of, or relating to this Agreement, will be resolved solely by final and binding arbitration as follows. Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing the arbitration will be conducted in London, United Kingdom, before a single arbitrator. The arbitrator will be jointly selected and mutually approved by the parties. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (“LCIA”).

14.8 Exclusive Venue. You expressly agree that courts of competent jurisdiction located in England and Wales shall have personal jurisdiction over You for any action by or against Passageways arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and/or your use of OnBoard.

14.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including its Schedules and all Purchase Agreements) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter herein, supersedes all prior agreements and customer purchase order terms, whether written or oral, and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the Parties, except that, to the extent the Parties have mutually signed a prior separate agreement which specifically states that the terms thereof shall be effective so long as Passageways is providing application services to You, such separate agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Party against whom the modification, amendment or waiver is to be asserted. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions in the body of this Agreement and any Schedule or Purchase Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail unless expressly stated otherwise in the applicable Schedule or Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary therein, no terms or conditions stated in a Customer purchase order or in any other Customer order documentation (excluding Purchase Agreements executed by Passageways) shall be incorporated into or form any part of this Agreement, and all such terms or conditions shall be null and void. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be language chosen by both Parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction against either Party shall apply to rights granted herein or to any term of condition of this Agreement.

14.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which taken together shall form one legal instrument.
