b. Mitigation Measures. In the event of any Claim or potential Claim covered by the preceding paragraph, Maestro may, in its discretion, seek to mitigate the impact of such Claim by modifying the Maestro Services to avoid the infringement, and/or by suspending or terminating your access to the Maestro Services upon reasonable notice (provided, in the case of such suspension or termination, that we will refund a portion of any fees that you have prepaid for the then-current subscription period, based on the portion of that subscription period that is affected by our suspension or termination).

c. By Customer. You will defend and indemnify us against any Claims (i) arising from or related to your violation of the Agreement, (ii) based upon an allegation that the Customer Data or other trademarks delivered to Maestro by Customer, when used as permitted hereunder, infringe any copyright or any U.S. patent or trademark rights of any third party; or (iii) made by a Customer or other party arising from or related to your cancellation of a Transaction or event, or otherwise arising out of or related to any Customer Content or the manner in which you operate your account or use the Maestro Services.

d. Procedures. Each party’s indemnity obligations are subject to the following: (i) the aggrieved party will promptly notify the indemnifier in writing of the applicable Claim; (ii) the indemnifier will have sole control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations with respect to the Claim (provided that the indemnifier may not settle any Claim in a manner that would impair any of the aggrieved party’s rights or interests without prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld); and (iii) the aggrieved party will, at the indemnifier’s expense, provide all cooperation, information and assistance reasonably requested by the indemnifier for the defense of such Claim.

c. Basis of Bargain. The foregoing exclusions of damages and limitations of liability, and the allocation of risk they represent, are an essential, bargained-for part of the Agreement, and will apply to the fullest extent permitted by law, even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

a. Publicity. Maestro may identify Customer, by name and by logo, as a customer of the Maestro Services on Maestro’s website and other marketing and investor materials.

Customer agrees to comply fully with all relevant export laws and regulations of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions to ensure that neither the Maestro Services, nor any direct product thereof, are: (i) exported or re-exported directly or indirectly in violation of such export laws and regulations; or (ii) used for any purposes prohibited by such export laws and regulations.

e. Government Rights. If Customer is the U.S. government or any agency or other division thereof, Maestro’s software and services are furnished under the Agreement as “commercial items,” and more specifically as “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” (as applicable), as those terms are defined and used in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (48 C.F.R. § 2.101) and other applicable regulations, and the government’s rights with respect to such software and services (and to any associated technical data or other materials) are limited to those rights expressly granted in these Terms of Service.

f. Severability. If any part of the Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid, in whole or in part, by a court of competent jurisdiction, its remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the provision affected will be construed so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permissible by law.
