1.2 Authorization; No Legal Representation
In order to perform the Services, the Parties shall execute the Letter of Authorization attached to the Order Form, which shall grant Marq Vision the authority to report infringement to online marketplaces, websites, and search engines. For the avoidance of doubt, the Services do not include any legal representation or initiating any legal proceedings (including making any claims or complaints to or before any court or judicial body). Customer understands and acknowledges that Marq Vision, its affiliates and its and their employees, directors, officers and representatives (collectively, the “Marq Vision Parties”) do not and cannot provide legal guidance or advice, and in no event shall the Services constitute any creation of any potential or actual attorney-client relationship.

1.4 Customer Cooperation
Customer acknowledges that Marq Vision’s ability to deliver the Services is dependent upon Customer’s ongoing cooperation and assistance.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Marq Vision is required to execute an agreement with a website or hosting provider in order to be able to report infringement therein, Customer agrees to subrogate in Marq Vision’s position towards those websites or hosting providers, and covenants to assume any liability towards such websites or hosting providers that may arise out of Marq Vision’s enforcement activity therein at the request of Customer and on behalf of Customer. For purposes of the Agreement, “Whitelist” means the list compiled by Customer comprised of entities against whom Customer does not wish to enforce its intellectual property rights or report any infringement.
2. Platform License and Terms

2.2 Customer Responsibilities for Use of the Platform
Customer is responsible and liable for all uses of the Platform resulting from access provided by Customer, directly or indirectly, whether such access or use is permitted by or in violation of the Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer is responsible for all acts and omissions of an employee, contractor or agent of Customer who accesses and use the Platform (“Authorized Users”), and any act or omission by an Authorized User that would constitute a breach of the Agreement if taken by Customer will be deemed a breach of the Agreement by Customer.

Customer will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Marq Vision in collecting past due amounts. In addition to all other remedies available under the Agreement or at law or equity, Marq Vision reserves the right to suspend delivery of the Services and access to the Platform if Customer fails to timely pay any undisputed amounts due to Marq Vision under the Agreement, in the event Customer fails to make any payment when due and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days following the date such amounts were due. Suspension of the Services shall not release Customer of its payment obligations under the Agreement.

7. Warranties; Disclaimers
7.1 Mutual Representations and Warranties
Each Party represents and warrants that it has the full right, power and authority to enter into, execute, and perform its obligations under the Agreement and that no pending or threatened claim or litigation known to it would have a material adverse impact on the Parties’ ability to perform as required by the Agreement.
7.2 Marq Vision Representations, Warranties and Covenants
Marq Vision represents and warrants to Customer that: (a) neither its grant of any license hereunder, nor the Services under the Agreement violates any applicable law, rule or regulation; (b) when used by Customer or any of its authorized users, the Platform does not, to Marq Vision’s knowledge, infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any intellectual property right or other right of any third party; and (c) as provided by Marq Vision, the Platform does not, to Marq Vision’s knowledge, contain any virus, trojan horse, worm, backdoor, or other software or hardware devices the effect of which is to permit unauthorized access to, or to disable, erase, or otherwise harm, any computer, systems or software; or time bomb, drop-dead device, or other software or hardware device designed to disable a computer program automatically with the passage of time or under the positive control of any person or entity.
7.3 Customer Representations, Warranties and Covenants
Customer represents, warrants and covenants that (a) it will have qualified representatives using due care to review, validate, and verify for accuracy all information transmitted to Marq Vision for the purpose of providing the Services; (b) Customer and Customer Property are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations; (c) it will use the Services to report claims of intellectual property infringement against third parties only when Customer has a good faith belief in the veracity of such claims, and not for the purposes of harassment, unfair competition, overreach, or other unlawful purposes; (d) it is the rightful owner or licensee of all intellectual property rights subject to the Services (and, for the avoidance of doubt, as listed as Protected Assets in each applicable Scope of Services); and (e) it has not relied on the availability of, or information regarding, any future functionality of the Services and the Platform or any other future product or service in executing the Agreement.
7.4 Disclaimers
(a) Customer acknowledges that (i) the Services are performed at Customer’s instruction and subject to matters outside of Marq Vision’s control (including, without limitation, the sufficiency of Customer’s intellectual property rights and registrations), and (ii) all reportings are the result of Customer’s instruction, request, authorization and/or smart-reporting rules set by Customer (and for the avoidance of doubt, Marq Vision does not decide on its own whether to report certain listings). As such, Marq Vision may not be able to take down all reported items. Additionally, Customer acknowledges that it has the exclusive responsibility for compiling and timely delivering the Whitelist to Marq Vision. As such, in no event shall Marq Vision be responsible for any enforcement of Customer’s intellectual property rights or reportings of any infringement made against an entity against whom no such action should have been taken, if such an entity were not properly included in the Whitelist. Moreover, in the event Marq Vision carries out infringement reporting on behalf of Customer, Marq Vision reserves the right to withdraw any reporting made through its Platform if Marq Vision receives a counter-notification from the reported entity or its representative.
(b) Customer acknowledges that if Customer were to instruct Marq Vision to withdraw a reporting of an infringement, Marq Vision cannot guarantee that the content subject to such reporting will be restored within a specific time frame, or restored at all, as the restoring of such content depends on the foregoing factors set forth in the preceding paragraph. As such, while Marq Vision will use commercially reasonable efforts to so withdraw any such reportings, the ability to so withdraw is subject to the policies of the entity to which the reporting is sent and as such, is outside of Marq Vision’s reasonable control.
(c) Except for the representations and warranties expressly provided in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, the Platform and Services are provided to Customer “as is” and with all faults and defects without warranty of any kind. Marq Vision, in on its own behalf and on behalf of its affiliates and service providers expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise with respect to the Platform and Services, including all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and warranties that may arise out of course of dealing, course of performance, usage or trade practice. Without limitation of the foregoing, Marq Vision provides no warranty or undertaking, and makes no representation of any kind that the Services or Platform will meet Customer’s requirements, achieve any intended results, operate without interruption or that any errors or defects can or will be corrected.
8. Indemnification
8.1 Indemnification by Marq Vision
Marq Vision will defend and indemnify Customer, its employees, directors, officers and representatives (the “Customer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all actions, claims, suits, losses, damages, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and any amounts paid in settlement of the foregoing (collectively, “Claims”), asserted, brought or made against any Customer Indemnified Party by a third party alleging that the use of the Services or Platform in accordance with the Agreement infringes any patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret right of such third party (an “Infringement Claim”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Marq Vision shall have no liability for any Infringement Claim arising from (a) Customer’s use of, or supply to Marq Vision of, any Customer Property; (b) use of the Services in combination with any software, hardware, network or system not supplied by Marq Vision if the alleged infringement relates to such combination; (c) any modification or alteration of the Services (other than by Marq Vision), if the alleged infringement arises in connection with such modification or alteration; or (d) Customer’s violation of applicable law or third party rights (“collectively, “Excluded Claims”). THIS SECTION 8.1 SETS FORTH MARQ VISION’S SOLE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT.
8.2 Indemnification by Customer
Customer will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Marq Vision Parties from and against any and all Claims asserted, brought or made against any Marq Vision Indemnified Party by a third party and arising out of (a) Customer’s breach of the Agreement (including any representation or warranty); (b) Marq Vision’s reporting or taking actions instructed by the Customer and/or under its authorization, including without limitation reporting an entity on the Whitelist; (c) Customer or its representatives taking independent action as a result of its use of, or reliance on, the Platform; and/or (d) the use of the Services by Customer as described in the Excluded Claims above. For clarity, Marq Vision will not be liable in any manner (except for Marq Vision’s gross negligence) for the shutdown of fraudulent or infringing websites, as instructed by Customer.
8.3 Indemnification Conditions
The Parties’ obligations under this Section 8 are contingent upon the indemnified Party giving prompt written notice to the indemnifying Party of any claim subject to indemnification, and giving the indemnifying Party sole control of the defense or settlement of the claim. The indemnifying Party shall not settle or consent to an adverse judgment in any such claim that adversely affects the rights or interests of the indemnified Party or imposes additional obligations on the indemnified Party, without the prior express written consent of the indemnified Party.
9. Limitation of Liability and Damages
9.1 Limitation of Liability

NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR INCONVENIENCE SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY OR BY ANY THIRD PERSON, TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSS, DAMAGE OR INCONVENIENCE IS CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF THE OTHER PARTY TO COMPLY WITH ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE AGREEMENT.
