NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTRARY HEREIN, IN NO EVENT SHALL ARCHERA AND ITS LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ALL EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY SUPPLIERS), OFFICERS, AFFILIATES, REPRESENTATIVES, CONTRACTORS AND EMPLOYEES BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR TERMS AND CONDITIONS RELATED THERETO UNDER ANY CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY: (A) FOR ERROR OR INTERRUPTION OF USE OR FOR LOSS OR INACCURACY OR CORRUPTION OF DATA OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR TECHNOLOGY OR LOSS OF BUSINESS; (B) FOR ANY INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, ENHANCED, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; (C) FOR ANY MATTER BEYOND Archera’S REASONABLE CONTROL; OR (D) FOR ANY AMOUNTS THAT, TOGETHER WITH AMOUNTS ASSOCIATED WITH ALL OTHER CLAIMS, EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER TO ARCHERA FOR THE SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACT THAT GAVE RISE TO THE LIABILITY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER OR NOT Archera HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

9. MISCELLANEOUS

All notices under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service; and upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. At Archera’s sole discretion, it may require Customer to submit any actions, claims or other disputes arising from or relating to this Agreement or use of the Services, including disputes arising from or concerning their interpretation, violation, invalidity, non-performance, or termination, to final and binding arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association applying the laws of the State of Washington without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees. The parties shall work together in good faith to issue at least one mutually agreed upon press release within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date, and Customer otherwise agrees to reasonably cooperate with Archera to serve as a reference account upon request. Unless otherwise specified, Customer agrees to allow Archera to provide information relating to Customer to Cloud Providers and their affiliates and to receive from them marketing information related to their services, events and any special offers, with the understanding Cloud Providers will handle Customer’s information in accordance with Cloud Providers’ policies. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Neither party may assign this Agreement, nor any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, except that such consent will not be required in the event of assignment or transfer in connection with a merger, reorganization, acquisition or other transfer of all or substantially all of such party’s assets or voting securities. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section will be null and void. No assignment or delegation will relieve the assigning or delegating party of any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Unless Customer has otherwise executed an agreement with Archera for the Services contemplated hereunder with the intention of governing the subject matter hereof, this Agreement, together with the applicable ordering document(s), shall be the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous and contemporaneous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and that all waivers and modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and Customer does not have any authority of any kind to bind Archera in any respect.

3. EXHIBIT A Service Level Terms

The Services shall be available 99%, measured monthly, excluding holidays and weekends and scheduled maintenance. If Customer requests maintenance during these hours, any uptime or downtime calculation will exclude periods affected by such maintenance. Further, any downtime resulting from outages of third party connections or utilities or other reasons beyond Archera’s reasonable control will also be excluded from any such calculation. Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, and Archera's entire liability, in connection with Service availability shall be that for each period of downtime lasting longer than four business hours, Archera will credit Customer 5% of Service fees for each period of 30 or more consecutive minutes of downtime; provided that no more than one such credit will accrue per day and no such credits exceed the amounts paid by Customer. Downtime shall begin to accrue as soon as Customer (with notice to Archera) recognizes that downtime is taking place, and continues until the availability of the Services is restored. In order to receive downtime credit, Customer must notify Archera in writing within 24 hours from the time of downtime, and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit. Such credits may not be redeemed for cash and shall not be cumulative beyond a total of credits for one (1) week of Service Fees in any one (1) calendar month in any event. Archera will only apply a credit to the month in which the incident occurred. Archera’s suspension or blocking of data communications or the Services in accordance with this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a failure of Archera to provide adequate service levels under this Agreement.

4. EXHIBIT B Support Terms

Unless Customer is using the free version of the Services, Archera will provide Technical Support to Customer via both telephone and electronic mail on weekdays during the business hours of 9:00 am through 5:00 pm Pacific time, with the exclusion of Federal Holidays (“Support Hours”).
