   2. By us

      We will defend you, your affiliates, officers, directors, and employees, from any third-party claim alleging that your use of DocuX Services infringes such third party’s patent, copyright and/or trademark (“IP Claim”) and will indemnify and hold harmless you and your affiliates, officers, directors, and employees from and against any damages and costs awarded against you (including reasonable attorney’s fees) resulting from such IP claims. We will have no liability or obligation with respect to any IP Claim if such claim is caused in whole or in part by (i) unauthorized use of DocuX Services; (ii) modification of DocuX Services by anyone other than us or our representatives; or (iii) the combination, operation or use of DocuX Services with other data, hardware or software not provided or supported by us. If your use of DocuX Services results in an IP Claim, we may at our own option and expense (a) procure for you the right to continue using DocuX Services; (b) replace or modify them to make them non-infringing; or (c) if option (a) or (b) are not commercially feasible as determined by us, then either party may terminate these Terms and the same shall be treated as Termination for Cause as per Section 7.3. The sections above state our entire liability and your exclusive remedy with respect to IP Claims.

   3. Procedure

      The above indemnification obligations are subject to the indemnified party: (i) getting promptly notified by the indemnifying party in writing of the claim, (ii) allowed by the indemnifying party the right to control the investigation, defense and settlement (if applicable) of such claim at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense, and (iii) upon request of the indemnifying party, providing all necessary cooperation at the indemnifying party’s expense. Failure by the indemnified party to notify the indemnifying party of a claim under this Section will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section, however, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any litigation expenses that the indemnified party incurred prior to the time when notice is given or for any damages and/or costs resulting from any material prejudice caused by the delay or failure to provide notice to the indemnifying party in accordance with this Section. The indemnifying party may not settle any claim that would bind the indemnified party to any obligation (other than payment covered by the indemnifying party or ceasing to use infringing materials) or require any admission of fault by the indemnified party, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Any indemnification obligation under this Section 9 will not apply if the indemnified party settles or makes any admission with respect to a claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent. 
10. Limitation of LIABILITY
    1. SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DOWNTIME COSTS, LOSS OF DATA, RESTORATION COSTS, LOST PROFITS, OR COST OF COVER) REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS ARE BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
    2. EXCEPT FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILFUL MISCONDUCT, FRAUD, DATA CLAIMS OR IP CLAIMS, EACH PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY AND THAT OF ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS, UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES RECEIVED OR PAYABLE TO US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM (“GENERAL LIABILITY CAP”). IN THE CASE OF IP CLAIMS AND DATA CLAIMS (CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY AND DATA PROTECTION OBLIGATIONS), OUR AND OUR AFFILIATES’ TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL SUCH CLAIMS IN THE AGGREGATE (FOR DAMAGES OR LIABILITY OF ANY TYPE) WILL NOT EXCEED 2 TIMES (2X) THE GENERAL LIABILITY CAP (“IP LIABILITY CAP”).
    3. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY (OR ITS RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES) BE LIABLE FOR THE SAME EVENT UNDER BOTH THE GENERAL LIABILITY CAP AND IP LIABILITY CAP.  SIMILARLY, THE FOREGOING CAPS WILL NOT BE CUMULATIVE; IF A PARTY (AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES) HAS ONE OR MORE CLAIMS SUBJECT TO EACH OF THOSE CAPS, THE MAXIMUM TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS IN THE AGGREGATE WILL NOT EXCEED THE APPLICABLE CAP.
    4. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS SECTION WILL APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE AND WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
