We will attempt to limit the frequency and duration of any such suspension or restriction, and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to alert or notify you in the event of any scheduled or non-scheduled suspension of Services. Due to the nature of technical outages, we cannot guarantee notice prior to unplanned outages. We will not be held responsible for any delay or failure to comply with our obligations under these conditions if the delay or failure arises from any cause which is beyond our reasonable control.

Third Party Services

THIRD PARTY SERVICES. The Services contain features or functionality designed to interact and/or integrate with software, applications or services that are provided by a Person other than Vidalytics (“Third Party Services”). For the avoidance of doubt, Third Party Services exclude services whereby Vidalytics has subcontracted its responsibilities hereunder. To use these features, you may be required to obtain access to such Third Party Services from their providers, pay fees to the provider of such Third Party Services and/or agree to separate license agreements or terms with those providers. In order to use the Services, you may be required to grant us access to your Accounts to such Third Party Services. You expressly permit us to share Customer Content in conjunction with the Third Party Services and Customer Data with Third Party Service providers. The Third Party Services may import or export data related to your Account, activity and/or content and otherwise gather data from you and your Viewers.

RESPONSIBILITY. We are not responsible for any Third Party Services or for any act or omission of any third party. Vidalytics does not own, operate or endorse any Third Party Services and does not warrant any Third Party Services. You agree to assume all risks and liabilities associated with the use of any Third Party Services. Third Party Services are operated independently of us and we do not guarantee the availability of any Third Party Services. If the provider of any such Third Party Services ceases to make the Third Party Services available for interoperation with Services, Vidalytics may cease providing such features or functionality without entitling Customer to any refund, credit or other compensation. You agree to use the Services only in compliance with the terms and conditions associated with any Third Party Services. We advise you to check the terms of use and privacy policies for all Third Party Services to ensure compliance and determine how they may use your information.

ACCESS TO DATA BY THIRD PARTIES. If you use Third Party Services, your data may be transmitted outside of the Vidalytics system and the provider of the Third Party Services may be able to obtain access to your Customer Data in Vidalytics' systems through the Vidalytics application programming interface. This may result in the disclosure, modification or deletion of your Customer Data by the Third Party Service provider. The Third Party Service provider and its agents may collect and use data pertaining to your configuration and use of the Third Party Service. We are not responsible for any transmission, collection, disclosure, modification, use or deletion of your Customer Data, as described in this section, by or through Third Party Services or their providers or any of its agents and partners.

Representations and Warranties

WARRANTY. Vidalytics warrants that during the Subscription Term the Services will operate without a material failure of the Service to perform in accordance with the Product Overview (a “Defect”). Customer’s exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty is for Vidalytics to correct or work around the Defect upon request, subject to and in accordance with Vidalytics' procedures and limitations regarding support. If the Defect persists in causing a material failure in the Service to conform to the Product Overview without correction or work-around forty-five (45) days after written notice to Vidalytics of a warranty claim, then Customer may terminate the affected Service and Vidalytics shall refund to Customer any prepaid subscription fees covering the remainder of the Subscription Term of the affected Service after the date of termination.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. Except for the warranties expressly stated in this Agreement, to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law, Vidalytics disclaims all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties and conditions arising under statute, warranties of merchantability, non-infringement or fitness for a particular purpose.

EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. VIDALYTICS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THEIR OPERATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VIDALYTICS HEREBY DISCLAIMS (FOR ITSELF AND ITS SUPPLIERS) ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, INTEGRATION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM ANY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT VIDALYTICS IS NOT LIABLE, AND YOU AGREE NOT TO SEEK TO HOLD VIDALYTICS LIABLE, FOR THE CONDUCT OF THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING OPERATORS OF EXTERNAL SITES, AND THAT THE RISK OF ECONOMIC DAMAGES FROM SUCH THIRD PARTIES RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU. VIDALYTICS MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE BASIS.  SURPRIZE MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE QUALITY OF ANY SUCH SERVICES, OR THE ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, TRUTHFULNESS, COMPLETENESS OR RELIABILITY OF ANY USER CONTENT OBTAINED THROUGH SURPRIZE PROPERTIES.

Indemnification

BY VIDALYTICS. We will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Customer from and against all liabilities, damages and costs (including settlement costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any claim by a third party against the Customer to the extent based on an allegation that Vidalytics' technology used to provide the Services to the Customer infringes or misappropriates any copyright, trade secret, patent or trademark right of a third party that is issued or registered in the United States. In no event will we have any obligations or liability under this section arising in whole or in part from any Content provided by Customer, Viewer or other third parties. Vidalytics shall not be required to indemnify Customer in the event of: (a) modification of the Services by Customer, its employees, or contractors in conflict with Customer’s obligations or as a result of any prohibited activity as set forth herein; (b) use of the Services in a manner inconsistent with the Documentation; (c) use of the Services in combination with any other application, product, or service not provided by Vidalytics if such claim would not have occurred without such combination; or (d) use of the Services in a manner not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement. The indemnities above are Customer’s only remedy under this Agreement for third party infringement claims and actions.

CUSTOMER INDEMNIFICATION. Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Vidalytics from and against all liabilities, damages and costs (including settlement costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any claim by a third party against Vidalytics or its affiliates regarding: (i) Customer Content, Customer Data or Viewer Data; (ii) failure by the Customer to obtain any of the necessary consents required by Viewers under this Agreement; (iii) Customer’s use of the Services in violation of this Agreement; (iv) Customer’s violation of the Agreement; (v) Customer’s violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations and/or (vi) violations of Customer’s obligations of privacy to any third party.

POSSIBLE INFRINGEMENT. If we believe the Services infringe or may be alleged to infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights, then we may: (i) obtain the right for you (at our expense) to continue using the Service; (ii) provide a non-infringing functionally equivalent replacement; or (iii) modify the Services so that they no longer infringe. If we do not believe that the options described in this section are commercially reasonable, then we may suspend or terminate Customer’s use of the affected Services (with a pro-rata refund of prepaid fees for the Services).

PROCESS. The party seeking indemnification will promptly notify the other party of the claim and cooperate with the other party in defending the claim. The indemnifying party will have full control and authority over the defense, except that: (i) any settlement requiring the party seeking indemnification to admit liability requires prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (ii) the other party may join the defense with its own counsel at its expense.

Limitations of Liability and Damages

Each party (the “Receiving Party”) understands that the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) has disclosed or may disclose information relating to the Disclosing Party’s business (together “Confidential Information” of the Disclosing Party). Such information includes, without limitation, information relating to pricing of Services, Customer Data and your Vidalytics ID. The Receiving Party agrees: (i) to take reasonable precautions to protect such Confidential Information; and (ii) not to use (except as permitted in this Agreement) or divulge to any third person such Confidential Information.

EXCLUSIVE VENUE.  To the extent the parties are permitted under this Agreement to initiate litigation in a court, both you and Vidalytics agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Austin, Texas.

GOVERNING LAW.  THE TERMS AND ANY ACTION RELATED THERETO WILL BE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED BY AND UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.

NOTICE.  Where Vidalytics requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing Vidalytics with your most current e-mail address.  In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to Vidalytics is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/ permitted by this Agreement, Vidalytics’ dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice.  You may give notice to Vidalytics at the following address: 124 Broadkill Rd #728, Milton, Delaware 19968, Attn: Legal.  Such notice shall be deemed given when received by Vidalytics by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.

WAIVER.  Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.

SEVERABILITY.  If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
