The Company shall, at its expense, defend such Claims and pay damages finally awarded against Customer, or paid by Customer pursuant to an executed settlement agreement, in connection therewith.
13.2
Exclusive Remedy. If the Service becomes, or in the Company’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of an infringement claim, the Company may, at its option and expense, in addition to its indemnity obligations in Section 13.1, above, either (a) procure for Customer the right to continue exercising the rights licensed to Customer in this Agreement, (b) replace or modify the Service so it becomes non-infringing, or (c) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Customer and promptly refund any prepaid amounts to Customer.

Except for each party’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 13, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) in no event shall the Company or its suppliers be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, loss of data or other information, for business interruption, for personal injury, loss of privacy arising out of or in any way related to the use of or inability to use the Service or third-party software used with the Service, or otherwise in connection with any provision of this Agreement), even if the Company or any Company supplier has been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if the remedy fails of its essential purpose; and (b) each party and its suppliers’ aggregate cumulative liability for any cause whatsoever hereunder shall not exceed the greater of one hundred dollars ($100.00) or the total fees that Customer has paid the Company for the Service during the twelve (12)-month period immediately preceding the date on which a party alleges the events that caused such damage occurred.
15.0 Dispute Resolution
Excluding any claims arising from or related to the infringement or misappropriation of the Service, the parties will attempt to resolve any claim, dispute or controversy between the parties (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) (a “Dispute”) through face-to-face negotiation between authorized representatives of each party or through mediation using a mutually agreeable mediator. If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute through negotiation or mediation within a reasonable time period after a party has notified the other of the Dispute’s existence, the Dispute will be settled by binding arbitration, held in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts according to the then current CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration (“Arbitration”). Each party agrees that such arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if the class-action waiver in the prior sentence is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither party is entitled to arbitration.
