Applica will defend, indemnify, and hold You harmless from and against all claims, demands, actions, suits, discovery demands, including, without limitation, third party subpoenas, government investigations or enforcement actions (“Claim”) brought or threatened against You by a third party and any damages, liabilities, losses, settlements, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) (“Losses”) related thereto alleging the provision of the Services as permitted hereunder infringes or misappropriates a third party copyright, trade secret, or patent (“Infringement Claim”). However, Applica will have no liability or obligation with respect to any (a) Claim and any Losses related thereto arising out of Your use of the Services in breach of these Terms, or (b) Infringement Claim and any Losses related thereto arising out of the combination, operation, or use of the Services with other applications, portions of applications, products, or services where the Services would not by themselves, and without modification, be infringing.

You will defend, indemnify and hold Applica, its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders, and affiliates (“Applica Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against all Claims brought or threatened by a third party against a Applica Indemnified Party and any Losses related thereto alleging or arising out of (a) Your or any of Your Users’ breach of or activities under these Terms; (b) Your or any of Your Users’ use of the Services; or (c) Your acts or omissions in connection with the provision of Your products or services, including, without limitation, any related intellectual property Claims.

If Your use of the Services has become, or in Applica’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of any infringement Claim, Applica may at its option and expense: (a) procure for You the right to continue using the Services as set forth herein; (b) modify the Services to make them non-infringing; or (c) if the foregoing options are not reasonably practicable, terminate these Terms and refund you any unused pre-paid fees. This Section 7.4 states your exclusive remedy for any infringement Claim by a third party.

In the event of an indemnity obligation under this Section 7.5, the Indemnified Party shall: (i) promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim; (ii) allow the Indemnifying Party sole control of its defense and settlement (provided that a party may not settle, defend or resolve a claim unless it unconditionally releases the other party of all liability to any third party); and (iii) provide the Indemnifying Party all available information and reasonable assistance at the Indemnifying Party’s cost. The Indemnified Party reserves the right, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of a Claim. A party’s indemnification obligations are expressly conditioned upon the Indemnified Party’s compliance with this Section 7.5, provided that, the failure to provide notice of a claim will not limit the rights of an Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such claim.

We may give general notices within the Applica Services, which will be effective when posted. Alternatively, we may give You notice at our choice either (a) by email or mail to the last known email or physical address that we have on record for You, which will be effective when we send it; or (b) via telephone, by calling the number we have on record for You, which will be effective when we talk with You.

It is Your responsibility to keep all Your contact information current and You waive Your right to receive such notices if You do not provide current contact information.

8.2 Assignment. You do not have a right to assign these Terms without providing prior notice to and obtaining the prior written consent of Applica. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be void. We can assign these Terms without Your consent.

8.3 Integration; Modification. These Terms, as updated, along with the information incorporated into these Terms (information contained in an embedded URL or referenced policy), together with any applicable Subscription Agreement, become part of Your agreement with Applica relating to the Applica Services and Applica Materials, and will apply instead of any, conflicting or additional communications.

We may modify, update, add or remove all or parts of these Terms at any time. Your continued access to, or use of, the Applica Services means You have agreed to be bound by the most current version of these Terms which will govern our relationship with You as soon as they become effective. Since we might update these Terms from time-to-time or at any time, we suggest You review them occasionally and check the “Revised” date which will reflect the date the current version was posted.

8.4 Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA, excluding its conflict of laws rules and, where applicable, will be governed by the federal laws of the United States.

8.5 Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration. Any legal disputes or claims arising out of or related to this Agreement (including without limitation claims related to the use of the Services, the interpretation, enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Agreement, or the arbitrability of any dispute), that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Middlesex County, Massachusetts (the “Agreement to Arbitrate”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of Us can bring a claim in small claims court in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, if it qualifies to be brought in that court. Any arbitration under these Terms will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association under then prevailing American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) and will be held with a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Rules, or as otherwise mutually agreed by You and Applica. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Claims must be brought within the statute of limitations or other time required by applicable law. You agree that You shall bring any claim, action or proceeding arising out of or related to the Agreement in Your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND APPLICA ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING IN ANY FORUM.

Unless the Parties agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of your decision to opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, or the Parties have reserved their rights to pursue legal action in a court of law, You agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between the Parties must be resolved exclusively by a state, federal, or small claims court located in Boston, Massachusetts. The Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Middlesex County, Massachusetts or a United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts located in Boston, Massachusetts.
