7.2 | zulily Indemnification Obligations. zulily will indemnify, defend, and hold Provider, its affiliates and their respective directors, managers, owners, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Provider Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any Losses arising out of any Claims to the extent such Losses arise out of or relate to: (a) any claim by a zulily employee (including any former Provider employee who becomes a zulily employee; provided, however, to the extent such claim relates to the employee’s previous employment with Provider it shall remain the responsibility of Provider) against Provider for any reason; (b) any claim by a Provider employee or former Provider employee against Provider arising out of or related to zulily’s recruitment, hiring or non-hiring of such employee, including without limitation zulily’s recruitment or hiring practices or policies with respect thereto; (c) any breach or alleged breach by zulily under this Agreement; (d) the negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith of zulily; and (e) injury to or death of any person or damage to any property caused by zulily’s performance or non-performance of its obligations under this Agreement; provided that zulily shall not indemnify or hold harmless Provider Indemnified Parties to the extent any such Losses are caused by willful misconduct or the negligent or unlawful acts or omissions of Provider Indemnified Parties. |

Within 30 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party will, upon written notice to the |

Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party has accepted its indemnity and defense obligations without reservation. If the Indemnifying Party has reserved any rights with respect to defense or indemnity, the Indemnified Party will control the defense. If the Indemnifying Party believes that a Claim presented to it for indemnification is one as to which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, it will so notify the Indemnified Party on a prompt basis (but in no event later than 30 days after delivery of notification of the Claim). The Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such Claim, the Indemnifying Party will be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of independent counsel to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party advised of the status of such Claim and the defense thereof and will consider recommendations made by the Indemnified Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party will not agree to any settlement of such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party will not agree to any settlement of such Claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof that does not include a complete and unconditional release of any Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party or adversely affects the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.
7.5 | Limitation of Liabilities. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOST OPPORTUNITIES OR PROFITS), OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE TERMS OR CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR WITH RESPECT TO ITS PERFORMANCE HEREUNDER. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties will be liable for indirect, special, incidental, consequential (including lost opportunities or profits) and punitive damages to the extent arising out of (i) a breach of Section 5 or Section 6 of this Agreement, or (ii) such Party’s fraud or willful misconduct. |
8. | Force Majeure. If performance of any obligation under this Agreement is prevented, restricted, or interfered with by causes beyond either Party’s reasonable control (“Force Majeure”), and if the Party unable to carry out its obligations gives the other Party prompt written notice of such event, then the obligations of the Party invoking this provision will be suspended to the extent necessary by such event. The term “Force Majeure” includes unavailability of a Facility or equipment or power for such Facility, acts of God, fire, explosion, vandalism, storm or other similar occurrence, orders or acts of military or civil authority, or by national emergencies, insurrections, riots, acts of terrorism or wars. The excused Party will use reasonable efforts under the circumstances to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance and will proceed to perform with reasonable speed whenever such causes are removed or ceased. An act or omission will be deemed within the reasonable control of a Party if committed, omitted, or caused by such Party, or its affiliates or their respective representatives. The Party affected by the other Party’s delay may elect to (a) suspend performance and extend the time for performance for the duration of the Force Majeure event, or (b) cancel all or any part of the unperformed part of this Agreement or applicable SOW. |

[*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO JURY TRIAL OF ANY DISPUTE BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS AMONG THEM RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
9.11 | Disputes. Any controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to either Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement or an SOW (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved as follows: |
(a) | For the first 30 days following the identification of a Dispute, the Parties will in good faith attempt to resolve such Dispute. Such efforts will not require either Party to involve its senior management in discussions with the other Party (but either Party may elect to do so voluntarily). |
(b) | If the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute during such 30-day period, then for an additional 30 days thereafter, representatives of the senior management of each Party will in good faith attempt to resolve such Dispute. |
(c) | If the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute during such additional 30-day period, then either Party may elect that the Dispute be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Parties will select a mutually acceptable arbitrator knowledgeable about issues relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. If the Parties are unable to agree to such a selection, each Party will select an arbitrator and the two arbitrators in turn will select a third arbitrator, all three of whom will preside jointly over the matter. The arbitration will take place in Seattle, Washington. The arbitrator(s) will not have the authority to modify any provision of this Agreement or to award punitive damages.

Pending resolution of any Dispute, Provider will proceed diligently with its performance of any Services in accordance with this Agreement and any applicable SOW unless otherwise agreed to by zulily. |
9.12 | Injunctive and Other Equitable Relief. The Parties each acknowledge that breach or threatened breach of Sections 5 or 6, could cause irreparable harm, the amount of which may be extremely difficult to estimate, thus making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Therefore, each Party has the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief for any such breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, without any obligation to post a bond or other security. |
9.13 | Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation of this Agreement, and each has had the advice of legal counsel to review, comment upon and draft this Agreement. Accordingly, the Parties agree that no rule of construction will apply against or in favor of any Party, and any uncertainty or ambiguity will not be interpreted against any one Party in favor of the other Party.

2. | Personnel. |
A. | Background Checks. Provider will pre-screen all Services personnel by conducting background checks.

Provider will obtain and maintain written results of all criminal background checks. Provider agrees that Services personnel who will have access to zulily Facilities will be thoroughly screened for convictions; individuals with theft and violence felony convictions may be excluded from providing Services, regardless of when the conviction occurred.
