   2. Customer, at its expense, shall hold harmless, indemnify, defend, and pay any settlement amounts and damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) awarded by a court of final jurisdiction arising out of any third-party claim, suit, or proceeding: (i) alleging that Customer Data infringes any intellectual property right; or (ii) arising from the occurrence of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(i)-(v) above.

Violation of this provision will result in the breaching Party immediately paying to the non-breaching Party liquidated damages in an amount equal to 100% of the solicited person’s annual compensation at the time that they left the non-breaching Parties’ service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party has the right to discuss employment with or to employ an individual who responds to a general advertisement or contacts such Party on his/her own accord.
    6. Neither Party will be liable for any failure or delay in performance under this Agreement (other than for a delay in the payment of money due and payable hereunder) to the extent such failure or delay is caused by conditions beyond the reasonable control of and not the fault of the nonperforming Party, including Acts of God, earthquakes, floods, fire, hurricanes, unusually extreme or severe weather, wars, insurrections, terrorism, riots, labor stoppage, denial of service attacks, or criminal acts of third parties (collectively, a “Force Majeure Event”), provided that the nonperforming Party gives the other Party prompt Notice, with full details following the occurrence of the cause relied upon.

    9. This Agreement binds and benefits the Parties and, as the case may be, the Parties’ respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, and permitted successors and assigns.
    10. The rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement are not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by either Party of any right or remedy does not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies that may now or subsequently exist in law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
    11. The Parties shall not use the trademarks and services marks of the other Party without that Party’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Allocadia has the right to name Customer as a user of the Subscription Services.

    13. This Agreement will be construed without regard to the drafter and will be construed as though each Party to this Agreement participated equally in the preparation and drafting of this Agreement.
    14. No provision, right, power, or privilege in this Agreement may be waived, except pursuant to a written waiver executed by the Party against whom the waiver is sought to be enforced. Failure of a Party to enforce its rights on one occasion will not result in a waiver of such rights on any other occasion.
    15. After termination or expiration of this Agreement, all provisions relating to payment will survive until completion of the required payments. In addition, Sections 1, 4, 6.3, 7.2, 8, 9, and 10 will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. In addition, any provision which by its essence and context is reasonably intended to survive beyond termination or expiration of this Agreement will also survive.
