The foregoing obligation does not apply to any Claims or Losses arising out of or relating to any: (A) incorporation of the Modem Platform into, or any combination, operation, or use of the Modem Platform with, any products or services not provided or authorized by Modem; (B) Modification of the Modem Platform other than by Modem or with Modem's express written approval; (C) unauthorized use of the Modem Platform; (D) Content, third party products, Third-Party Services, Agents, or Outputs; or (E) Losses covered by the Customer's indemnity obligations in Section 12(d)(C).
THIS SECTION 12(d)(A) IS MODEM'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY, AND ANY CUSTOMER INDEMNITEE'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
(B) If the Modem Platform is, or in Modem's opinion is likely to be, claimed to infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third party Intellectual Property Rights, or if Customer's use of the Modem Platform is enjoined or threatened to be enjoined, Modem may, at its option and sole cost and expense: (i) obtain the right for Customer to continue to use the Modem Platform materially as contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) modify or replace the Modem Platform, in whole or in part, to seek to make the Modem Platform (as so modified or replaced) non-infringing, in which case such Modifications or replacements will constitute the Modem Platform under this Agreement; or (iii) if Modem determines that neither of the foregoing two options are reasonably available, then this Agreement may be terminated by Modem and Modem's sole liability, in addition to the indemnification obligations herein, will be to refund prepaid unused Fees attributable to the Modem Platform that were to be provided after the effective date of termination.
THE FOREGOING IS IN LIEU OF ANY REPRESENTATION, COVENANTS OR WARRANTIES OF NONINFRINGEMENT, WHICH ARE DISCLAIMED.
(C) Customer Indemnity. Customer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Modem, its affiliates, subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, subcontractors and other representatives (each, a "Modem Indemnitee") from and against any and all Losses incurred by a Modem Indemnitee arising out of or relating to any Claim by a third party (other than an affiliate of a Modem Indemnitee) that arise from or relate to: (i) Customer Property; (ii) unauthorized use of the Modem Offering by Customer or any of its Permitted Users; (iii) Customer's breach of Sections 4, 12(a)(i), 12(b), or 15(j); (iv) Customer's business operations; or (v) use of the Modem Offering by Customer or any of its Permitted Users in combination with any unauthorized third party software, application or service.
(D) Indemnification Procedure. Each party will promptly notify the other party in writing of any Claim for which such party believes it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 12(d). The party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnitee") will cooperate with the other party (the "Indemnitor") at the Indemnitor's sole cost and expense. The Indemnitor will promptly take control of the defense and investigation of such Claim (although the Indemnitor will not settle any Claim without the Indemnitee's prior written consent) and will employ counsel of its choice to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnitor's sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee's failure to perform any obligations under this Section 12(d)(D) will not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnity obligations under this Section 12(d) except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing.

Modem may terminate this Agreement or any applicable Order Form for its convenience at any time with 30 days prior written notice to Customer. If Customer terminates the Agreement pursuant to this Section 14(c) (Termination for Convenience), Customer is not entitled to any refund of prepaid Fees and Customer will pay all Fees for the remainder of the then current Subscription Term and Term (as applicable). If Modem terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14(c) (Termination for Convenience), Modem will refund Customer any prepaid unused Fees.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Modem may retain Customer Data to the extent and so long as required by applicable law and Modem may retain Customer Data in its backups, archives and disaster recovery systems until such Customer Data is deleted in the ordinary course, provided that all such Customer Data will remain subject to all confidentiality requirements of this Agreement.

This Agreement enures to the benefit of and is binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(c) Governing Law and Attornment. This Agreement and any Claim related thereto will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the applicable federal laws of Canada, without regard to conflicts of law principles.

Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) Modem may seek remedies to collect unpaid Fees from Customer; and (ii) a party may seek remedies with respect to a violation of its Intellectual Property Rights or Section 11 (Confidential Information), in any appropriate jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Agreement.
(d) Construction. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the parties' rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise. The terms "include" and "including" mean, respectively, "include without limitation" and "including without limitation." The headings of sections of this Agreement are for reference purposes only and have no substantive effect. The terms "consent" or "discretion", when used in respect of a party in this Agreement, mean the right of such party to withhold such consent or exercise such discretion, as applicable, arbitrarily and without any implied obligation to act reasonably or explain its decision to the other party. The language used in this Agreement is the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.
(e) Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for delays caused by any event or circumstances beyond Modem's reasonable control, including acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labour problems (other than those involving Modem's employees), Internet service failures or delays, or the unavailability or Modification by third parties of telecommunications or hosting infrastructure or third party websites ("Force Majeure Event"). This Section does not apply to any of Customer's obligations under Sections 10 (Fees and Payment). In the event of any failure or delay caused by a Force Majeure Event, the affected party will give prompt written notice to the other party stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue and use commercially reasonable efforts to end the failure or delay and minimize the effects of such Force Majeure Event.
(f) Severability. Any provision of the Agreement found by a tribunal or court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable will be severed from the Agreement and all other provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
(g) Waiver. A waiver of any provision of the Agreement must be in writing and a waiver in one instance will not preclude enforcement of such provision on other occasions.
(h) Independent Contractors. Modem's relationship to Customer is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent, employee or partner of the other. Neither party will have, and will not represent to any third party that it has, any authority to act on behalf of the other party.
(i) Entire Agreement. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations or other communications, whether written or oral. For clarity, any terms and conditions appearing on a purchase order or similar document issued by Customer, or in Customer's procurement, invoicing, or vendor onboarding portal: (i) do not apply to the Modem Offering; and (ii) do not override or form a part of this Agreement. If there is a conflict among the documents that make up the Agreement, then the documents will control in the following order (of decreasing precedence) as relevant to the subject matter of the conflict: (i) these Terms of Service; (ii) the applicable Order Form; and (iii) the Documentation.
(j) Export Restrictions. Neither Customer nor any of its Permitted Users are listed under any Canadian economic sanctions law or regulation or owned or controlled by any such person. Customer will not allow access to the Modem Offering other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Modem makes no representation or warranty that the Modem Offering may be exported without Customer first obtaining appropriate licenses or permits under applicable law, or that any such license or permit has been, will be, or can be obtained.
(k) Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for our licensors and Indemnitees herein, nothing contained in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities pursuant to, or by reason of, this Agreement.

(m) Customer Lists. Modem may identify Customer by name and logo as a Modem customer on the Site and on other promotional materials. Any goodwill arising from the use of Customer's name and logo will inure to the benefit of Customer.
(n) Relationship of the Parties. Modem's relationship to Customer is that of an independent contractor. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of this Agreement and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other party in any respect.
