10) Indemnification. Each Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify the other Party (the “Indemnified Party”) and its officers, shareholders, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any and all third-party claims, suits, debts, dues, obligations, actions, causes of action, liabilities, and damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) for any personal injury (including death) or property damage  (each a “Claim”) to the extent arising out of the grossly negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of the Indemnifying Party during the course of providing the Services.

11) Indemnification Procedures. The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any Claim for which indemnification is sought. The failure of the Indemnified Party to deliver notice to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such matter shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of liability to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by any delay in receiving such notice. The Indemnifying Party shall have sole discretion over the conduct of the defense and settlement of any Claims, and the Indemnified Party, at its own expense, may retain counsel to participate in the defense of such Claims. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense of any Claim. In no event may the Indemnifying Party enter into any settlement or other agreement which would in any manner affect the rights of or bind the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

12) Remedies and Limitation of Liability. BOTH PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHT TO SEEK ANY CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS OR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. Customer’s maximum recovery against AssetWatch relating to the Services provided hereunder or otherwise arising out of this Agreement, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, is the amount actually paid to AssetWatch under the applicable SOW. Other than the equitable relief set forth herein, an award of damages not to exceed monies paid to AssetWatch is Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy against AssetWatch.

13) Insurance. For as long as AssetWatch’s obligation to indemnify remains in effect, AssetWatch will maintain general liability and auto insurance policies, including product liability coverage, in minimum amounts of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence and Three Million Dollars (3,000,000) in the aggregate which can be compromised of primary and umbrella policies.  AssetWatch will provide Worker’s Compensation Insurance as required by law. Technology Errors and Omissions coverage in the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence and total aggregate will be maintained.  The insurance coverage required shall be provided by an insurance company or companies with a rating of at least “A” or greater in Bests’ Insurance Guide. Upon Customer’s reasonable request and no more often than annually thereafter, upon reasonable request, AssetWatch shall provide Customer with certification of insurance evidencing such coverage.

14) Notices. Except as otherwise expressly specified herein, all notices, requests or other communications required hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given or made if delivered personally or mailed, by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or delivered by established overnight courier upon written verification of receipt, to the Parties at the notice addresses set forth below or at such other addresses as shall be specified in writing by either of the Parties to the other in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section. Notices, requests, or communications shall be deemed effective upon receipt or refusal.

15) Miscellaneous. This Agreement will not be construed as creating or constituting a partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between the Parties.  Neither Party will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other’s behalf without the other’s prior written consent. A Party will not use the other Party’s name (except internal use only), trademark, logos, or trade name without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that AssetWatch may list Customer as a client of AssetWatch in marketing and promotional materials. This Agreement shall not be assigned without the prior written consent of the other Party. This Agreement shall not be disclosed to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of and enforced within the jurisdiction of the State of Ohio without regard to its laws of conflicts. The Parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts serving Franklin County, Ohio for all disputes arising out of this Agreement. If any term of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, then such term will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining terms of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement may not be amended or modified, and no provisions hereof may be waived, unless the same shall be in writing and executed by the Party to be charged with such amendment, modification or waiver. The waiver by either Party of a breach of or a default under any provision of this Agreement shall not be effective unless in writing and shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of or default under the same or any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall any delay or omission on the part of either Party to exercise or avail itself of any right or remedy that it has or may have hereunder operate as a waiver of any right or remedy. Violations of Sections 1, 2, 3, 7 and 9 of this Agreement are likely to cause irreparable harm and therefore the non-breaching Party may seek immediate injunctive relief without the need of posting bond in the event of such a violation. This Agreement, and all terms and provisions thereof, and amendments hereto, shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by the Parties hereto and their respective successors, permitted assigns, and legal representatives. This Agreement does not confer any rights or benefits on any third parties. Either Party may execute a counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other written or electronic confirmation from such Party of execution of such counterpart by such Party, which shall be fully effective as an original counterpart hereof. This Agreement, including any SOW or other attachments hereto, constitutes the complete, final, and exclusive statement between the Parties regarding its subject matter, and supersedes all related prior or contemporaneous representations, understandings, and communications. If there is any conflict between the terms of a SOW and the terms contained herein, the terms of the SOW shall prevail with respect to the subject matter of the applicable SOW only.  No terms, provisions or conditions of any purchase order, acknowledgement or other business form that either Party may use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will have any effect on the rights, duties or obligations of the Parties hereunder, or otherwise modify this Agreement (including any SOWs entered hereunder), regardless of any failure of a receiving Party to object to such terms, provisions or conditions. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it has carefully read and fully understands the terms of this Agreement and fully understands the meaning and intent thereof, including, but not limited to, its final and binding effect.
