12. Indemnification
12.1 itopia Indemnification. itopia shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer and Customer’s officers, directors, employees, agents, permitted successors, and permitted assigns (each, a “Customer Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by a Customer Indemnitee resulting from any Action by a third party (other than an Affiliate of a Customer Indemnitee) that Customer’s use of the Services (excluding Customer Data and Third-Party Materials) in accordance with this TOS (including the Specifications) infringes or misappropriates such third party’s patents, copyrights, or trade secrets. The foregoing obligation does not apply to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from: (a) Third-Party Materials or Customer Data; (b) access to or use of itopia Materials in combination with any hardware, system, software, network, or other materials or service not provided by itopia or specified for Customer’s use in the Documentation; (c) modification of itopia Materials other than: (i) by or on behalf of itopia; or (ii) with itopia’s written approval in accordance with itopia’s written specification; or (d) failure to timely implement any modifications, upgrades, replacements, or enhancements made available to Customer by or on behalf of itopia.
12.2 Customer Indemnification. Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless itopia and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (each, a “Provider Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by such itopia Indemnitee resulting from any Action by a third party (other than an Affiliate of a itopia Indemnitee) to the extent that such Losses arise out of or result from, or are alleged to arise out of or result from: (a) Customer Data, including any Processing of Customer Data by or on behalf of itopia in accordance with this TOS; (b) any other materials or information (including any documents, data, specifications, software, content, or technology) provided by or on behalf of Customer or any Authorized User, including itopia’s compliance with any specifications or directions provided by or on behalf of Customer or any Authorized User to the extent prepared without any contribution by itopia; (c) allegation of facts that, if true, would constitute Customer’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations under this TOS; or (d) negligence or more culpable act or omission (including recklessness or willful misconduct) by Customer, any Authorized User, or any third party on behalf of Customer or any Authorized User, in connection with this TOS.
12.3 Indemnification Procedure. Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any Action for which such party believes it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 12. The party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall cooperate with the other party (the “Indemnitor”) at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitor shall promptly assume control of the defense and shall employ counsel of its choice to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing. The Indemnitor shall not settle any Action without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnitee’s failure to perform any obligations under this Section 12.3 will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Section 12, except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.
12.4 Mitigation. If any of the Services or itopia Materials are, or in itopia’s opinion are likely to be, claimed to infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third-party Intellectual Property Right, or if Customer’s or any Authorized User’s use of the Services or itopia Materials is enjoined or threatened to be enjoined, itopia may, at its option and sole cost and expense: (a) obtain the right for Customer to continue to use the Services and itopia Materials materially as contemplated by this TOS; (b) modify or replace the Services and itopia Materials, in whole or in part, to seek to make the Services and itopia Materials (as so modified or replaced) non-infringing, while providing materially equivalent features and functionality, in which case such modifications or replacements will constitute Services and itopia Materials, as applicable, under this TOS; or (c) by written notice to Customer, terminate this TOS with respect to all or part of the Services and itopia Materials, and require Customer to immediately cease any use of the Services and itopia Materials or any specified part or feature thereof.
12.5 Sole Remedy. THIS SECTION 12 SETS FORTH CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDIES AND ITOPIA’S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THE SERVICES ANDITOPIA MATERIALS OR ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TOS INFRINGES, MISAPPROPRIATES, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATES ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

13.2 CAP ON MONETARY LIABILITY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN SECTION 13.3, IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ITOPIA ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS TOS, WHETHER ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, EXCEED ONE (1) TIMES THE TOTAL AMOUNTS PAID AND AMOUNTS ACCRUED BUT NOT YET PAID TO LICENSOR UNDER THIS TOS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR $100,000, WHICHEVER IS LESS. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
13.3 Exceptions. The exclusions and limitations in Sections 13.1 and 13.2 do not apply to itopia’s obligations under Section 12 or liability for itopia’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
14. Term and Termination
14.1 Initial Term. The initial term of this TOS commences as of the Effective Date (as stated on the Service Order) and, unless terminated earlier pursuant any of this TOS’s express provisions, will continue in effect, until one (1) year from the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”).
14.2 Renewal Term. This TOS will automatically renew for additional successive one (1) year terms unless earlier terminated pursuant to this TOS’s express provisions or either party gives the other party written notice of non-renewal at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term (each a “Renewal Term” and, collectively, together with the Initial Term, the “Term”).
14.3 Termination. In addition to any other express termination right set forth elsewhere in this TOS: (a) itopia may terminate this TOS, effective on written notice to Customer, if Customer fails to pay any amount when due hereunder, and such failure continues more than ten (10) days after itopia’s delivery of written notice thereof; or (b) either party may terminate this TOS, effective on written notice to the other party, if the other party materially breaches this TOS, and such breach: (i) is incapable of cure; or (ii) being capable of cure, remains uncured thirty (30) days after the non-breaching party provides the breaching party with written notice of such breach; and (c) either party may terminate this TOS, effective immediately upon written notice to the other party, if the other party: (i) becomes insolvent or is generally unable to pay, or fails to pay, its debts as they become due; (ii) files or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or otherwise becomes subject, voluntarily or involuntarily, to any proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency Law; (iii) makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (iv) applies for or has appointed a receiver, trustee, custodian, or similar agent appointed by order of any court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of or sell any material portion of its property or business.
14.4 Effect of Termination or Expiration. Upon any expiration or termination of this TOS, except as expressly otherwise provided in this TOS: (a) all rights, licenses, consents, and authorizations granted by either party to the other hereunder will immediately terminate; (b) itopia shall immediately cease all use of any Customer Data or Customer’s Confidential Information; (c) Customer shall immediately cease all use of any Services or itopia Materials and promptly return to itopia, or at itopia’s written request destroy, all documents and tangible materials containing, reflecting, incorporating, or based on any itopia Materials or itopia’s Confidential Information; and (d) itopia may disable all Customer and Authorized User access to itopia Materials.
14.5 Early Termination Charge. If this TOS is terminated by Customer prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term and such termination is not due to itopia’s material breach and failure to cure, or if itopia terminates this TOS pursuant to Section 14.3, in additional to any Fees becoming due prior to the date of termination, Customer shall pay to itopia an early termination charge equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Fees comprising monthly recurring charges that would become due and payable through the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term in effect at the time, including applicable taxes. The parties agree that the precise damages resulting from an early termination by Customer or termination by itopia due to Customer’s material breach are difficult to ascertain and the early termination charge set forth in this Section 14.5 is a reasonable estimate of anticipated actual damages and not a penalty. The early termination charge shall be due and payable upon receipt of an invoice therefor.
14.6 Surviving Terms. The provisions set forth in the following sections, and any other right or obligation of the parties in this TOS that, by its nature, should survive termination or expiration of this TOS, will survive any expiration or termination of this TOS: Section 3, Section 9, Section 11.4, Section 12, Section 13, Section 14.4, Section 14.5 and Section 15.

No assignment, delegation, or transfer will relieve Customer of any of its obligations or performance under this TOS. Any purported assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section 15.8 is void. This TOS is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

In no event will either party be liable or responsible to the other party, or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this TOS, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this TOS, (except for any obligations to make payments)], when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond such party’s reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”), including acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake or explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this TOS, national or regional emergency, pandemics, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, passage of Law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo, export or import restriction, quota, or other restriction or prohibition or any complete or partial government shutdown, or national or regional shortage of adequate power or telecommunications or transportation.
