8.       Indemnification.

8.1.    By SchoolDigger. If any third party makes any claim against Developer that, if true, would constitute a non-conformance by SchoolDigger with SchoolDigger Infringement Warranty (a “SchoolDigger Infringement”) then, upon notification of such claim, SchoolDigger will, at its sole cost and expense, defend Developer against such claim and any related proceeding brought by such third party against Developer. Upon the occurrence of a “Determination Against SchoolDigger” (defined below), SchoolDigger will indemnify Developer from and against any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including taxes, fees, fines, penalties, and interest) reasonably and actually incurred by Developer and resulting from the SchoolDigger Infringement.

    “Indemnification Conditions” means the following obligations of a party entitled to defense and/or indemnification under this Agreement: (i) the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing of any claim that might be the subject of indemnification promptly after any executive officer of the indemnified party or member of the indemnified party’s legal department first knows of the claim, provided, however, that no failure to so notify an indemnifying party will relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices defense of the claim, and except to the extent of damages incurred by the indemnifying party as a result of the delay; (ii) the indemnifying party is given primary control over the defense and settlement of the claim (subject to the foregoing, the indemnified party may nonetheless participate in the defense at its sole cost and expense); (iii) the indemnified party makes no admission of liability (except as required by applicable law) nor enters into any settlement without the indemnifying party’s prior written agreement; (iv) the indemnified party provides such assistance in defense of the proceeding as the indemnifying party may reasonably request, at the indemnifying party’s reasonable expense; and (v) the indemnified party complies with any court order or reasonable settlement made in connection with the proceeding.

8.2.    SchoolDigger’s Mitigation Rights. If use of any SchoolDigger Materials is, or in SchoolDigger’s reasonable opinion is likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement of any Intellectual Property Right of any third party, then SchoolDigger may: (i) procure the continuing right for Developer to use the SchoolDigger Materials; (ii) replace or modify the SchoolDigger Materials in a functionally equivalent manner so that it no longer infringes; or (iii) if the rights under (i) and (ii) above are not available on terms that are commercially reasonable for SchoolDigger, terminate the applicable Order insofar as it applies to the infringing SchoolDigger Materials and refund to Developer a pro-rata amount of any prepaid Fees applicable to the unutilized portion of the License Term for the terminated portion of the Order.

8.3.    Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SchoolDigger will have no obligation under this Section 8 or otherwise with respect to any infringement or misappropriation claim to the extent based upon (a) any use of the SchoolDigger Materials not in accordance with this Agreement or the Documentation, (b) any use of the SchoolDigger Materials in combination with other products, software, services or data not supplied by SchoolDigger to the extent the infringement would not have occurred but for such combination, (c) any use of any release of the SchoolDigger Materials other than the most current release made available to Developer after notice from SchoolDigger that Developer must upgrade to such release to avoid an infringement or misappropriation claim and Developer has had a reasonable time (not to exceed 15 days) in which to implement the upgrade, (d) any open source software forming part of the SchoolDigger Materials, (e) any modification of the SchoolDigger Materials not made by SchoolDigger or at its express direction, or (f) any data not provided by SchoolDigger.

8.4.    By Developer. Developer will defend, indemnify and hold SchoolDigger and its members, managers, officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns, harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, claims, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, suits, actions or expenses (including  reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or in connection with (i) any breach of Developer’s representations, warranties or covenants, or its performance or failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the use by Developer of the SchoolDigger Materials (other than any such claim that any of the SchoolDigger Materials violate the intellectual property rights of a third party), or (iii) the Developer Application. SchoolDigger will comply with the Indemnification Conditions.

9.       Disclaimer of Implied Warranties.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY WARRANTED IN THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

SchoolDigger will not be liable for the consequences of any interruptions or errors.

10.   Exclusion of Consequential Damages; Limitation of Liability.

10.1.      IN NO EVENT WILL SCHOOLDIGGER BE LIABLE TO DEVELOPER, ITS END USERS, OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF DATA, GOODWILL, PROFITS, INVESTMENTS, USE OF MONEY OR USE OF FACILITIES; INTERRUPTION IN USE OR AVAILABILITY OF DATA; STOPPAGE OF OTHER WORK OR IMPAIRMENT OF OTHER ASSETS), EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF (i) THE PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR DATA, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, OR (ii) ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION, BREACH OF CONTRACT OR ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, MISREPRESENTATION, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER TORT.

10.2.      SchoolDigger’s entire liability arising out of this Agreement will in no event exceed the fees paid by Developer to SchoolDigger under the Order giving rise to the claim during the one month period immediately preceding Developer’s first assertion of any claim against SchoolDigger, regardless of whether any action or claim is based in contract, misrepresentation, warranty, indemnity, negligence, strict liability or other tort or otherwise.

10.3.      Developer agrees that the exclusions and limitations specified in this Agreement apply even if the remedies are insufficient to cover all of Developer’s losses or damages, or fail of their essential purpose and that without these limitations the fees for access to and use of the SchoolDigger APIs and SchoolDigger Materials would be significantly higher.

11.   Term and Termination.

11.1.      Term – Orders. The License Term for each Order will commence on the date the Order is processed and accepted by SchoolDigger and will continue until expiration of the License Term specified in the Order, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement.

If Developer terminates any Order under this Section 11.2, Developer will not be entitled to any refund of or relief from fees paid or payable under such Order.

11.3.      Termination for Cause. If either party materially breaches any of its obligations under this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days from the date it receives from the non-breaching party a notice of the breach and a demand for cure, then the non-breaching party may thereafter terminate all or any affected Orders or Licenses immediately on notice. Without limiting the foregoing, Developer’s failure to pay fees and expenses owed by Developer to SchoolDigger within five (5) days of their due date, and Developer’s non-conformance with any of its representations, warranties and covenants under this Agreement, will each constitute a material breach of the applicable Order or License. If Developer has not cured a material breach within the applicable cure period then, until Developer has cured the breach in full, SchoolDigger may, in its sole discretion, and without prejudice to its other rights following material breach and failure to cure, do any or all of the following: (i) suspend performance of some or all of SchoolDigger’s obligations under the applicable Order; (ii) suspend the Licenses granted pursuant to the applicable Order; and (iii) deactivate any API Keys issued to Developer. Notice of termination for any Order will not be interpreted to be notice of termination for any other Order.

11.4.      Obligations on Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of a License, Developer will destroy all copies of the affected SchoolDigger Materials within its custody or control within twenty (20) days of such termination. Developer will certify such destruction to SchoolDigger upon request.

13.2.      Equitable Relief. Each of Developer and SchoolDigger acknowledges that damages will be an inadequate remedy if the other violates the terms of this Agreement pertaining to protection of Intellectual Property Rights. Accordingly, each of them will have the right, in addition to any other rights each of them may have, to obtain in any court of competent jurisdiction, temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to restrain any breach, threatened breach, or otherwise to specifically enforce any of the related rights and obligations in this Agreement.

13.3.      Force Majeure. If the performance of this Agreement is adversely restricted or if either party is unable to conform to any warranty by reason of any circumstances beyond the reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of the party affected, then, except with respect to obligations to pay Fees, the party affected, upon giving prompt written notice to the other party, will be excused from such performance on a day-to-day basis to the extent of such restriction (and the other party will likewise be excused from performance of its obligations on a day-to-day basis to the extent such party's obligations relate to the performance so restricted); provided, however, that the party so affected will use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance and both parties will proceed whenever such causes are removed or cease.

13.8.      Assignment. Neither party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other, which will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that either party may, without the other party’s consent, and upon notice to the other party, assign its rights under this Agreement to any entity into or with which it is merged, or that acquires all or substantially all of its assets. Subject to the foregoing restriction on assignment, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
