EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN CLAUSE 7.1 ABOVE, ALL SERVICES AND SOFTWARE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” BOTH PARTIES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, NEITHER PARTY MAKES A WARRANTY OF ANY KIND THAT THE SERVICES OR SOFTWARE, OR ANY PRODUCTS OR RESULTS OF THE USE THEREOF, WILL MEET THE OTHER PARTY’S OR ANY OTHER PERSON’S REQUIREMENTS, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, ACHIEVE ANY INTENDED RESULT, BE COMPATIBLE OR WORK WITH ANY SOFTWARE, SYSTEM, OR OTHER SERVICES, OR BE SECURE, ACCURATE, COMPLETE, FREE OF HARMFUL CODE, OR ERROR FREE.

Indemnification.

8.1

Mutual Indemnification. Each of the Parties will indemnify, defend, and hold the other Party and its respective affiliates, employees, agents, officers, and directors (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless, at the expense of the non-indemnified party, from any claim, action, cause of action, demand, lawsuit, arbitration, inquiry, audit, notice of violation, proceeding, litigation, citation, summons, subpoena, or investigation of any nature, civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory, or other, whether at law, in equity, or otherwise (an “Action”) from any and all losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorneys' fees and the costs of enforcing any right to indemnification hereunder and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers (“Losses”), incurred by the Indemnified Parties as a result of any breach of this Agreement by the other Party or any of the representations or warranties contained in Section 7, including but not limited to claims of infringement or misappropriation.

8.2

By ggCircuit. ggCircuit will indemnify, defend, and hold the SLG Indemnified Parties harmless, at its expense, from any Losses resulting from any Action by a third party that (i) alleges SLG’s use of ggLeap as permitted by this Agreement infringes or misappropriates any such third party’s Intellectual Property Rights in the United States; or (ii) that the coins generated through ggChampions prior to the Effective Date are illegal or infringing on any third party rights.

8.3

By SLG. SLG will indemnify, defend, and hold the ggCircuit Indemnified Parties harmless, at its expense, from any Losses resulting from an Action by a third party arising from its advertising, promotion, and marketing of Prime and the other rights granted to it under this Agreement, and from any claim arising from a customer of ggCircuit (or its customer, such as an end-user player) using services provided by SLG.

8.4

Indemnification Procedure. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any Action for which such Party believes it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 8. The Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall cooperate with the other party (the “Indemnitor”) at the Indemnitor's sole cost and expense. The Indemnitor shall promptly assume control of the defense and shall employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnitor's sole cost and expense (which such counsel may be panel counsel appointed by Indemnitor’s insurance company). The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing. The Indemnitor shall not settle any Action without the Indemnitee's prior written consent, which such consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. If the Indemnitor fails or refuses to assume control of the defense of such Action, the Indemnitee has the right, but no obligation, to defend against such Action, including settling such Action after giving notice to the Indemnitor, in each case in such manner and on such terms as the Indemnitee may deem appropriate. The Indemnitee's failure to perform any obligations under this Clause 8.4 will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Section 8, except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

8.5

Mitigation. If ggLeap or any of the services provided by ggCircuit, are, or in SLG’s opinion are likely to be, claimed to infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third-party Intellectual Property Rights, ggCircuit may, at its option and sole cost and expense:

(A) obtain the right for SLG to continue to use the services or ggLeap as materially contemplated by this Agreement;

(B) modify or replace the services or ggLeap, in whole or in part, to seek to make the services or ggLeap (as so modified) non-infringing;

(C) by written notice to SLG, terminate this Agreement with respect to all or part of the services or ggLeap, and require SLG to immediately cease any use of the services or ggLeap (or any specified part or feature thereof).

8.5

Sole Remedy. THIS SECTION 8 SETS FORTH THE PARTIES’ SOLE REMEDIES AND THE PARTIES’ SOLE LIABILITIES AND ANY OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THE SERVICES, GGLEAP, OR ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT INFRINGES, MISAPPROPRIATES, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATES ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING UNDER SECTIONS 6 (CONFIDENTIALITY) OR 8 (INDEMNIFICATION), OR WHICH ARE BASED UPON GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF THE JURSIDICTION IN WHICH THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO: (A) THE PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO ONE ANOTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, (i) DAMAGES FOR COMPUTER MALFUNCTION, LOSS OF INFORMATION, LOST PROFITS AND BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, AND THE COST TO OBTAIN SUBSTITUTE SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE, or (ii) LOSS, DAMAGE, CORRUPTION, OR RECOVERY OF DATA, OR BREACH OF DATA OR SYSTEM SECURITY, ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE OF EITHER PARTY, HOWEVER CAUSED, AND WHETHER ARISING UNDER A THEORY OF CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ONE OF THE PARTIES WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND (B) IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY TO THE OTHER EXCEED THE SUM PAID BY SLG TO GGCIRCUIT IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE PARTIES ARE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON THE EXPRESS CONDITION THAT EACH OF THEM AGREES TO THE “DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES” AND “LIMITATION OF LIABILITY” PROVISIONS HEREIN.

12.3

Public Announcements. Neither Party may issue or release any announcement, statement, press release, or other publicity or marketing materials relating to this Agreement or, unless expressly permitted under this Agreement, otherwise use the other Party's trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, domain names, or other indicia of source, association, or sponsorship, in each case, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.
