7. Confidentiality
Each party may disclose to the other party certain nonpublic information ("Confidential Information").

The receiving party agrees that breach of this section would cause disclosing party irreparable injury, and that in addition to any other remedy, the disclosing party may seek injunctive relief against such breach or threatened breach.

9. Indemnification
9.1. By Cooper AI
Cooper AI shall indemnify, defend and hold Customer harmless from and against all damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees), whether awarded against Customer or agreed to in settlement, arising from a third-party claim alleging that the Services or any Output, when used in accordance with this Agreement, infringes any intellectual property right of such third party. If there is, or is likely to be, an infringement claim, Cooper AI may either: (a) substitute functionally similar products or services; (b) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Services or Output; or (c) terminate this Agreement or the applicable Order Form, and refund to Customer any prepaid unused Fees for the applicable Services. The foregoing indemnification obligation will not apply to the extent the claim is attributable to: (1) the modification of the Services or Output based on Customer's or a third party's specifications or requirements; (2) the combination of the Services or Output with products or processes not provided by Cooper AI; (3) any use of the Services or Output in breach of this Agreement; or (4) any action arising from Customer Data, or any deliverables or components not provided by Cooper AI. This section sets forth Customer's sole remedy with respect to any claim of intellectual property infringement.
9.2. By Customer
Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Cooper AI from and against all damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees), whether awarded against Customer or agreed to in settlement, arising from a third-party claim arising out of or related to (a) Customer Data, and (b) Customer's use of the Services and Output.
9.3. Indemnification Procedures
Each party ("indemnified party") shall promptly notify the other party ("indemnifying party") in writing of any claim for which such party believes it is entitled to be indemnified, and provide assistance and information reasonably requested by the indemnifying party at indemnifying party's cost. The indemnified party will have the right, at its option, to participate in the settlement or defense of any claim(s), with its own counsel and at its own expense. The indemnifying party shall not settle any claim that results in the indemnified party's liability or obligation without the indemnified party's prior written consent.

EXCEPT FOR (A) CUSTOMER'S BREACH OF SECTION 2, (B) A PARTY'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, AND (C) A PARTY'S CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS (TOGETHER, "EXCLUDED CLAIMS"), NEITHER PARTY NOR ITS AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR (I) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, (II) ANY LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS, OR PROFITS, OR SERVICE INTERRUPTION, ANY DATA INACCURACY, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES (IN EACH CASE WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT), REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A PARTY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EXCEPT FOR THE EXCLUDED CLAIMS, COOPER AI'S, ITS AFFILIATES' AND LICENSORS', AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, INDEMNITY, OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT CUSTOMER HAS PAID OR THAT IS PAYABLE FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY.
11. Disputes
11.1. Informal Resolution
Cooper AI wants to address Customer's concerns and requests that Customer bring issues that may lead to a dispute to our attention immediately. Before filing a claim, Cooper AI and Customer agree to try to resolve the dispute by providing notice to the other party and having the appropriate executives attempt to resolve the dispute through communication and discussion. After thirty (30) business days from providing notice, either party may bring a formal proceeding.
11.2. Arbitration
Cooper AI and Customer agree to resolve any claims relating to this Agreement or the Services through final and binding arbitration, except as further set forth below. Any dispute will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules by a single arbitrator. The arbitration will take place in San Francisco, California in the English language. Either party may bring a lawsuit in court for claims for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or claims of Intellectual Property Rights infringement without first engaging in the informal resolution process described above. Cooper AI and Customer consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of San Francisco, California. EACH PARTY (I) AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, ANY DISPUTES OR CLAIMS ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION PAYMENT DISPUTES OR DISPUTES UNDER SECTION 9 (INDEMNIFICATION) ABOVE (COLLECTIVELY, "DISPUTES") WILL BE DETERMINED SOLELY IN BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THE U.S. FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND FEDERAL ARBITRATION LAW AND NOT IN A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION OR PROCEEDING (EXCEPT THAT EITHER PARTY MAY ELECT TO PROCEED IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF THE DISPUTE QUALIFIES), AND (II) WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

Upon Customer's written request, Cooper AI will promptly remove any such marks from Cooper AI's website and, to the extent commercially feasible, Cooper AI's marketing materials.
12.4. Force Majeure
Neither party will be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (except for a failure to pay Fees) if the delay or failure results from any cause beyond such party's reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, labor disputes or other industrial disturbances, systemic electrical, telecommunications, or other utility failures, earthquake, storms or other elements of nature, blockages, embargoes, riots, public health emergencies (including pandemics and epidemics), acts or orders of government, acts of terrorism, or war.
12.5. Independent Contractors
The parties are independent contractors. This Agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between the parties. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other party's behalf without the other party's prior written consent. There are no third-party beneficiaries under this Agreement.
12.6. Export Control
Each party agrees to comply with all export and import laws and regulations, including without limitation, those of the United States, applicable to such party in connection with its respective provision or use of the Service under this Agreement.

All attachments and exhibits to the Agreement and Order Forms executed by the parties are hereby incorporated into the Agreement by reference. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Customer and Cooper AI with respect to the subject matter herein and supersedes any prior agreements whether written or oral. Neither party may assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except in connection with a merger, change of control, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its equity or assets.

If any term of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, the unenforceable term will be modified to reflect the parties' intention and only to the extent necessary to make the term enforceable, and the remaining provisions of the Agreement will continue in effect. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by the parties. No failure or delay by either party in exercising a right under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of that right.
