Reseller’s customers (the “Customers”) are defined as those organizations/enterprises that will market and manage the end-users of the Products (the “End-Users”). Reseller acknowledges and agrees that it does not have the right to assign sub-resellers under this Agreement outside of the Territory, except with the prior written consent of Diversinet.
Furthermore, if Reseller terminates the AMC in the manner contemplated in Schedule 3, the exclusive license above shall revert to being a non-exclusive license.

In addition, Diversinet hereby grants to Reseller the right to use those Diversinet trademarks and copyrighted materials with respect to the Products solely for the purpose of marketing and distribution of the Products as authorized hereunder.

Reseller agrees that the rights granted to Reseller in this Section 1 are solely for the purpose of supplying the Products to Reseller, its Customers and End-Users located in the Territory. Any use outside of the rights granted herein shall require an additional license from Diversinet.

For greater clarity, Diversinet expects that the Reseller will include all of the points covered in Section 4 in its end user agreement.

5.
Limitation of Liability and Damages

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT DIRECT FORESEEABLE DAMAGES, IN NO EVENT SHALL DIVERSINET BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES) AS A RESULT OF THE USE, SALE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE BUNDLED PRODUCT, WHETHER BY WAY OF A LEGAL THEORY OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF DIVERSINET HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
(b)
RESELLER WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO RECEIVE ANY COMPENSATION OR REPARATIONS ON TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT UNDER THE LAW OF THE TERRITORY OR OTHERWISE, OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

(c)
The availability of the MobiSecure™ Strong Authentication service depends on many factors, including Customer’s connection to the Internet, End Users’ connection to the Internet, the availability of the Internet and the Internet backbone and equipment that, by its nature, is not fault tolerant. Diversinet does not and cannot control the flow of data to or from Diversinet’s network and other portions of the Internet. Such flow depends in large part on the performance of Internet services provided or controlled by third parties. At times, actions or inaction of such third parties can impair or disrupt Customers’ connections to the Internet (or portions thereof). Although Diversinet will use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions it deems appropriate to remedy and avoid such events, Diversinet cannot guarantee that such events will not occur. Accordingly, Diversinet shall have no responsibility for any failure to meet the requirements hereunder, with respect to performance issues, including without limitation: (i) caused by factors outside of Diversinet’s reasonable control; (ii) that result from any actions or omissions of Customers, End Users or any third parties; (iii) that result from Customers’ equipment and/or third party equipment (not within the sole control of Diversinet); (iv) caused by any act or failure to act by Customer or as a result of any Third Party Software.
(d)
NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, IN NO EVENT SHALL DIVERSINET’S LIABILITY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (OR THE BUNDLED PRODUCT) EXCEED ONE HUNDRED PERCENT (100%) OF THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF THE LICENSE FEES, ROYALTIES AND SUPPORT FEES PAID BY RESELLER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO THE ALLEGED LIABILITY ON THE PART OF DIVERSINET.
(e)
The limitations set forth in Section 15(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) shall not apply in respect of (i) breach of confidentiality obligations; (ii) breach of privacy provisions as detailed in Schedule 6; (iii) the intellectual property indemnity; (iv) any Abandonment committed by Diversinet; or (v) any willful gross misconduct (including fraud). “Abandonment” means Diversinet’s cessation or suspension of, or refusal to perform, its obligations under this Agreement, and such cessation, suspension or refusal (i) was knowingly intended by Diversinet to cause harm to Reseller, and (ii) was not the result of a termination of this Agreement by Diversinet in accordance with Section 4 (Termination).

Reseller shall indemnify and hold harmless Diversinet and/or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, contractors, parent companies, affiliates, and/or subsidiaries (collectively, the “Diversinet Parties”) from and against any claim, suit or proceeding by a third party based on or arising out of (i) the acts or omissions of Reseller in connection with its performance or failure to perform any other obligations in this Agreement or any agreement with a Customer, and (ii) any unauthorized representation or any misrepresentation of fact to any third party with respect to one or more of the Diversinet Parties or Products made by Reseller or any director, officer, agent, or employee of Reseller, provided that:
