10.2 FTP Today reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Services in whole or part at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice, without incurring liability of any kind. If FTP Today suspends or terminates your use, it will try to let you know in advance and help you retrieve your Data, though there may be some cases (for example, repeatedly or flagrantly violating the Agreement, a court order, or danger to other users) where we may suspend or terminate immediately. You acknowledge that if your access to the Services is suspended or terminated, you may no longer have access to your Data that is stored with the Service.

11.5. Your exclusive remedy and FTP Today’s sole obligation for its failure to meet the above SLA will be for FTP Today to provide a credit to be applied to your next billing cycle, provided that you notify FTP Today of an SLA breach within 10 days of the end of that calendar month affected.

11.6. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THOSE EXPRESS WARRANTIES MADE IN THIS SECTION, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FTP TODAY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES.
12.1. Your indemnity to FTP Today: you will defend and hold us and our affiliates, owners, employees, officers, directors, agents, successors and assigns, harmless at your own expense, against any and all third party liability (including damages, recoveries, deficiencies, interest, penalties and reasonable legal fees), directly or indirectly arising from or in connection with: (i) your Data; (ii) your violation of any third party rights (including third party intellectual property rights or privacy rights); and (iii) your use of the Services in any way contrary to the Agreement.
12.2. Our indemnity to you: We will defend and hold you and your owners, employees, officers, directors, agents, successors and assigns, harmless at our own expense, against any and all third-party liability (including damages, recoveries, deficiencies, interest, penalties and reasonable legal fees), directly or indirectly arising from or in connection with any third party claims that the Services infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property rights of a third party.
12.3. The Party seeking indemnification under the Agreement will: (i) give the indemnifying Party prompt written notice of the claim, (ii) tender to the indemnifying Party control of the defense and settlement of the claim, and (iii) cooperate with the indemnifying Party in defending or settling the claim. The indemnified Party will have the right to participate at its own expense in any indemnification action or related settlement negotiations using counsel of its own choice. Neither Party may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that adversely affects the rights or interests of the other Party without that Party’s prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld.
EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, EACH PARTY’S LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY AND ITS AFFILIATES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THE AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO FTP TODAY DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS PRIOR TO WHEN THE LIABILITY ARISES. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS PARAGRAPH IS TO PROVIDE FOR THE ALLOCATION OF RISK AND LIMIT POTENTIAL LIABILITY GIVEN THE FEES PAID, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER IF WE WERE TO ASSUME ANY FURTHER LIABILITY THAN PROVIDED FOR HEREIN.
IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST REVENUES, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, FOR ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PERFORMANCE OR NONPERFORMANCE OF THE AGREEMENT, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS ASSERTED ON THE BASIS OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
14.1. FTP Today will provide you support for the Services under the terms of its Customer Support Policy.
14.2. You agree that you are not disclosing your Data to FTP Today per this Agreement or through the use of the Services by you or your Users. However, you may request that FTP Today and its authorized personnel access your Data or account for the purposes of assisting you with any step of your account setup or any other troubleshooting. Neither FTP Today nor any of its employees will be liable in cases where the support access you requested exposes us to your private Data and content. By using FTP Today, you agree to permit FTP Today representatives access permissions only when circumstances necessitate it. We reserve the right to assist in these ways when needed and will keep information confidential as per our Privacy Policy.
15.1. FTP Today may revise these Terms, or any of the other policies linked to herein, from time to time and the most current version will always be posted on our website, with the last modified date included. If the revisions are deemed to be material, FTP Today will also notify you via email to the email address associated with your account and/or by a notification when you sign in to use the Services or by some other method.
15.2. Unless FTP Today has entered into a written Addendum of the Agreement with you, executed by the Parties, by continuing to access or use the Services after revisions are posted on our website you are agreeing to be bound by the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, simply don’t use the Services after the modifications are effective, in which case the modifications will not apply to you.
16.1. Neither Party will be liable for any delay or default in its performance of any obligation under the Agreement (other than a payment obligation) caused directly or indirectly by fire, flood, act of God, acts of government, an act or omission of civil or military authority of a state or nation, strike, lockout or other labor problem, inability to secure, delay in securing or shortage of, labor, materials, supplies, transportation or energy, failures of suppliers, or by war, riot, embargo or civil disturbance, breakdown, or destruction of plant or equipment arising from any cause whatsoever, or any cause or causes beyond such Party’s reasonable control (collectively, “Force Majeure Events”). This provision will in no way impair either Party’s right to terminate this Agreement.
16.2. The Agreement and the use of the Services will be governed by Nevada law except for its conflicts of laws principles. All claims arising out of or relating to the Agreement, or the Services must be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of Nevada, and both Parties consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.
16.3. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing and signed by the Parties, the Agreement constitutes the entire and exclusive agreement between you and FTP Today with respect to the Services, and supersede and replace any other agreements, terms, and conditions applicable to the Services. FTP Today rejects any additional or conflicting terms referenced on your company’s form-purchasing document or referenced on your purchase order.
16.4. The Agreement creates no third-party beneficiary rights. FTP Today’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted to reflect our intent as closely as possible.
16.5. Either Party may assign its rights and obligations to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business or assets associated with the Services.
16.6. Unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing, we may identify you as a customer in general listings of customers that we may make available on our website or in promotional or marketing materials.
16.7. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Agreement, all notices given to the Parties under the Agreement will be in writing and will be given by nationally recognized overnight courier service, certified mail (return receipt requested), email (with return receipt confirmation) or personal delivery, if to you at the address indicated on the applicable Order, and if to FTP Today at:
