With the exception of EWR’s Indemnification obligations listed herein and any intentional or grossly negligent act by EWR which causes personal injury or damage to tangible property, the Parties agree that in no event shall EWR’s total liability to Client, regardless of the character or type of damages sought, exceed the amount received pursuant to the relevant Statement of Work. The provisions of this Agreement allocate the risks between the Parties. EWR’s pricing reflects this allocation of risk and the limitation of liability specified herein.
No actions or disputes, regardless of form, arising out of any Services, may be brought by either Party more than one (1) year after the termination of this Agreement.
In performing the Services, EWR agrees not to design, develop, or provide to the Client any items that infringe one or more patents, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights (including trade secrets), privacy, or other rights of any person or entity. If EWR becomes aware of any such possible infringement in the course of performing any Services, EWR shall immediately notify the Client in writing. EWR’s total liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the total amount paid to EWR by Client for Services performed under the applicable Statement of Work that the alleged or actual infringement occurred under.
Client Representation and Indemnity. The Client represents that photographs, illustrations, graphics, audio clips, video clips, designs, text, data or any other information, content, display, or material (whether written, graphic, sound, or otherwise) provided by the Client to EWR for inclusion in a Client website or other project (“Client’s Content”), are either owned by the Client, or that Client has a license or other permission to publish and use such Client’s Content. The Client understands and agrees that EWR’s incorporation of any of Client’s Content in the provision of EWR’s Services (including but not limited to EWR’s managing or broadcasting of Client’s Content on the Client Website or Client’s social media accounts) constitutes a publishing by Client and not EWR.
Client shall indemnify and hold harmless EWR (and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, co-branders or other partners, and employees) from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all related costs and expenses) incurred by EWR as a result of any claim, judgment, or adjudication against EWR related to or arising out of any and all work or performance of professional services on this Project including but not limited to (a) Client’s Content, or (b) a claim that EWR’s use of Client’s Content infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party. To qualify for such defense and payment, EWR must: (i) give Client prompt written notice of a claim; and (ii) allow the Client to control, and fully cooperate with the Client in, the defense and all related negotiations.
Client acknowledges that EWR is not responsible and agrees to hold EWR harmless for any delays or damages resulting from Client’s failure to make such submissions in a timely manner.
