NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF THE PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY, ZESTY’S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY AND FAILURE TO CURE AS PROVIDED HEREIN WILL BE LIMITED TO THE REMEDIES SET FORTH WITH SUCH WARRANTY.
6.1 Defense. Subscriber will defend CauseCircle from any Claim arising out of or based upon Subscriber's breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement or Subscriber’s use of the CauseCircle Services in a manner that violates any law, regulation, or third-party right, if: (a) CauseCircle gives Subscriber prompt written notice of the Claim; (b) CauseCircle grants Subscriber full and complete control over the defense and settlement of the Claim; (c) CauseCircle provides assistance in connection with the defense and settlement of the Claim as Subscriber may reasonably request; (d) CauseCircle complies with any settlement or court order made in connection with the Claim; and (e) CauseCircle does not defend or settle the Claim without Subscriber’s prior written consent.

7.1 Disclaimer of Indirect Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OR UNAVAILABILITY OF DATA, LOST PROFITS, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY IS APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING.
7.2 Cap on Liability. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL CauseCircle’S TOTAL LIABILITY OF ALL KINDS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTY CLAIMS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY ACTION OR CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED US$100.
7.3 Independent Allocations of Risk. EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS OF THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THIS ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICING OFFERED BY CauseCircle AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7 WILL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY IN THIS AGREEMENT.
8.1 Relationship. CauseCircle will be and act as an independent contractor (and not as the agent or representative of Subscriber) in the performance of this Agreement.
8.2 Governing Law; Venue; Arbitration. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without reference to conflict of laws provisions. All disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be finally settled by arbitration conducted in San Diego, California under the rules of commercial arbitration of the American Arbitration Association (“Rules”). The parties will bear equally the costs of the arbitration (exclusive of legal fees and expenses of the parties, all of which each party will bear separately). The arbitration will be conducted by three arbitrators selected in accordance with the Rules. All decisions of the arbitrators will be final and binding on both parties and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of breach by a party of its obligations hereunder, the non-breaching party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. Jurisdiction for litigation of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will be only in a California state or United States federal court located in San Diego, California, and the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts. In any action between the parties to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees.
8.3 Assignability. Neither party may assign its right, duties, and obligations under this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that a party may assign this Agreement without the other party’s consent to a successor (including a successor by way of merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or operation of law) if the successor agrees to assume and fulfill all of the assigning party’s obligations under this Agreement.
8.4 Subcontractors. CauseCircle may utilize a subcontractor or other third party to perform its duties under this Agreement so long as CauseCircle remains responsible for all of its obligations under this Agreement.
8.5 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given in accordance with this Agreement will be effective if it is in writing and sent by certified or registered mail, or insured courier, postage paid and return receipt requested, in the case of CauseCircle, to 1045 6th Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101, and in the case of Subscriber, to such postal address as Subscriber provides to CauseCircle by notice, or through the CauseCircle Services or to the email address provided by Subscriber when executing this Agreement. Either party may change its address for receipt of notice by notice to the other party in accordance with this section. Notices are deemed given two business days following the date of mailing or one business day following delivery to a reputable courier.
8.6 Force Majeure. CauseCircle will not be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under this Agreement on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by this Agreement as a result of any cause or condition beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, acts of war, telecommunications or power outages, failures of the public internet, strikes, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires and explosions.
8.7 Waiver. Any waiver of any right or remedy or limit on liability under this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the party to be bound to be effective. The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement does not waive any other breach. The failure of any party to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with this Agreement will not be a waiver of such party’s right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a novation of this Agreement.
8.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless be given full force and effect.
8.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the final and complete expression of the agreement between the parties regarding Subscriber’s use of the CauseCircle Services and supersedes all previous oral and written communications regarding these matters, all of which are merged into this Agreement, except that (i) any Service Subscription Agreement in effect between the parties on the Effective Date takes precedence over any and all provisions of this Agreement, and (ii) this Agreement does not supersede any prior confidentiality, nondisclosure, or comparable agreement between the parties executed prior to this Agreement being executed. No employee, agent, or other representative of CauseCircle has any authority to bind CauseCircle with respect to any statement, representation, warranty, or other expression unless the same is specifically set forth in this Agreement. No usage of trade or other regular practice or method of dealing between the parties will be used to modify, interpret, supplement, or alter the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement may be changed only by a written agreement signed by an authorized agent of the party against whom enforcement is sought.
