"Confidential Information" means (subject to the exclusions below) any non-public information relating to or disclosed in the course of the Platform Services that should be reasonably understood to be confidential, including without limitation Customer Data. The receiving party will use the same care to protect Confidential Information as it uses for its own similar information, but no less than reasonable care, will not disclose Confidential Information to any third party without prior written authorization of the disclosing party, and will use Confidential Information only for the purpose of fulfilling its obligations or exercising its rights expressly reserved or granted under these Service Terms.

11. INDEMNIFICATION
   1. By Afrofiliate. Afrofiliate will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Customer and its shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents, and its and their respective successors and assigns from and against any and all third party claims, demands, losses, costs, expenses, obligations, liabilities, damages, recoveries and deficiencies, including interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs ("Claims") against Customer to the extent based upon an allegation that the Platform Services, as furnished by Afrofiliate hereunder and used by Customer within the scope of these Service Terms, infringe any copyright or any U.S. patent or trademark rights of any third party. THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE OBLIGATION OF Afrofiliate WITH RESPECT TO ANY ALLEGED OR ACTUAL INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY THE PLATFORM SERVICES. Afrofiliate shall have no liability under this Section 11.1 to the extent that any Claims are based on (i) any combination of the Platform Services with products, services, methods, content or other elements not authorized in writing by Afrofiliate, (ii) modification or maintenance of the Platform Services by a party other than Afrofiliate; or (iii) any use of the Platform Services in a manner that violates these Service Terms, documentation,  instructions or materials (including Afrofiliate Materials) given to Customer by Afrofiliate.
   2. Mitigation Measures. In the event of any Claim or potential Claim covered by Section 11.1, Afrofiliate may, in its discretion, seek to mitigate the impact of such Claim by modifying the Platform Services to make them non-infringing, and/or by suspending or terminating Customer's use of the Platform Services upon reasonable notice to Customer (provided, in the case of such suspension or termination, that Afrofiliate will refund to Customer a portion of fees prepaid by Customer for the then-current subscription period, prorated to the portion of that subscription period that is affected by the suspension or termination).

Customer-indemnified Claims include without limitation Claims resulting from advertising practices or the actions or omissions of affiliate network Partners, and any Claims brought by, or in connection with the actions or omissions of, Third Party Integration Providers.
   4. Procedures. Each party's indemnity obligations are subject to the following: (i) the aggrieved party will promptly notify the indemnifier in writing of the applicable Claim; (ii) the indemnifier will have sole control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations with respect to the Claim (provided that the indemnifier may not settle any Claim in a manner that would impair any of the indemnified party's rights or interests without prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld); and (iii) the indemnified party will, at the indemnifier's expense, provide all cooperation, information and assistance reasonably requested by the indemnifier for the defense of such Claim. Any delay or failure of the indemnified party to provide notice here under shall only relieve the indemnifier of its obligations hereunder to the extent, if at all, that it is actually prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. 
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
   1. Waiver of Certain Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR INFORMATION, OR COSTS OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF THESE SERVICE TERMS OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
   2. Liability Cap. EXCEPT FOR AMOUNTS OWED UNDER SECTION 7, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF EACH PARTY FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE SERVICE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER TO Afrofiliate UNDER THESE SERVICE TERMS FOR THE SERVICE PERIOD TO WHICH SUCH DAMAGES PERTAIN.
   3. Exceptions. Nothing in this Section 12 shall limit or waive a party's: (i) liability for any breach of its confidentiality obligations under these Service Terms; (ii) liability for its infringement or misappropriation of any proprietary rights of the other party; (iii) indemnification obligations under Section 11; or (iv) liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
13. PUBLICITY
   1. Identification of Customer. Afrofiliate may identify Customer, by name and by logo, as a customer of the Platform Services on Afrofiliate's website and other marketing materials.
   2. Case Study. Provided Customer is satisfied with the Platform Services, Afrofiliate may develop a case study for public dissemination and marketing use by Afrofiliate describing the benefits Customer has derived from the Platform Services. Customer will reasonably cooperate with such case study. Publishing shall be subject to Customer's prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld.
14. MISCELLANEOUS
   1. Assignment. Neither party may assign the Agreement without the other party's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may transfer these Service Terms together with all Order Forms (and subject to any usage limitations therein) upon written notice to the other party: (i) to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, the transferring party, where "control" means direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 50% of the voting interest of the subject entity; or (ii) to any entity acquiring the transferring party, with which the transferring party is merging or to which the transferring party sells all or substantially all of its assets. Afrofiliate shall have the right to increase amounts charged to Customer in the event of any transfer by Customer that either increases the cost of providing the Platform Services or by virtue of a change in taxes to be paid reduces the amount received by Afrofiliate. Any attempt to assign this Agreement except as permitted under this Section, will be null and of no effect. Subject to the foregoing, these Service Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of each party's successors and permitted assigns.
   2. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure in performance (other than non-payment of amounts owing) due to causes beyond its reasonable control.
   3. Compliance. The parties agree to comply with all applicable international, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, privacy and data security laws, and export laws.
   4. Severability. If any part of these Service Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid, in whole or in part, by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of these Service Terms will remain in full force and effect, and the provision affected will be construed so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permissible by law.
   5. Waiver. No forbearance or delay by either party in exercising or enforcing the provisions of the Agreement shall prejudice or restrict the rights (whether provided by the Agreement or by law) of that party. The waiver of a breach of any provision of these Service Terms will not operate or be interpreted as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach of that or any other provision.
   6. Notices. All notices permitted or required under these Service Terms shall be in writing, will reference these Service Terms, and shall be delivered in person, by overnight courier or express delivery service, or by first class, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by confirmed email delivery, to the address of the party specified on the Order Form or such other address as either party may specify in writing. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt.

   9. Relationship of the Parties. Both parties are independent contractors and nothing in the Agreement creates a partnership, agency, joint venture, fiduciary or employment relationship between the parties. Neither party shall have any authority to incur any obligations on behalf of the other party or to make any promise, representation or contract of any nature on behalf of the other party. 
   10. Each party hereby acknowledges that it has been afforded the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice and confirms that it has either done so or waived its right to do so in connection with the entering into of this Agreement.
   11. Entire Agreement. These Service Terms, the SLA, and the Order Form constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements regarding the subject matter herein.

EXHIBIT A
Afrofiliate Service Level Agreement
This Afrofiliate Service Level Agreement ("SLA") supplements the Service Terms together with the Order Form(s) to which they are attached or incorporated, between Afrofiliate and Customer that incorporate this SLA by reference (the "Agreement"). All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement. This SLA terminates or expires upon any termination or expiration of the Agreement.
1. SERVICE AVAILABILITY
   1. "Downtime" means any period during which all Platform Services cease to function and are therefore unavailable for access by Customer, calculated as a percentage of the total time during a calendar month.
   2. "Excused Downtime" means any Downtime that: (a) occurs during a Scheduled Maintenance Period; (b) occurs during any suspension of Customer's access to the Platform Services as permitted under the Agreement; (c) occurs during any period in which Customer is in breach of the Agreement (including while any payments by Customer are overdue); or (d) results from the actions or omissions of Customer or third parties acting on Customer's behalf or from any cause beyond Afrofiliate's reasonable control.
   3. "Scheduled Maintenance Period" means any pre-scheduled time period during which Afrofiliate performs maintenance on the Platform Services. The regularly scheduled time for maintenance is presently 9 p.m. to 12.00 a.m. PST/PDT, and may be used by Afrofiliate without advance notification. Afrofiliate may expand these scheduled times upon one (1) day's advance notice. Afrofiliate may change the regularly scheduled time for maintenance by amending this SLA upon ten (10) business days' written notice delivered either by email or through a notice on the Platform Services.
   4. "Target Downtime" means Downtime, excluding Excused Downtime, of 0.1% of of the total time in any calendar month.
   5. In the event that Afrofiliate in its sole discretion determines that any unscheduled maintenance is necessary, Afrofiliate will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer.
   6. For any calendar month in which the Downtime for the Platform Services exceeds the Target Downtime, Afrofiliate will, if and only if Customer delivers a written credit request within thirty (30) days of the end of the relevant calendar month, issue Customer a service credit calculated as a percentage of the fees due from Customer for such calendar month equal to two (2) times the difference between the Target Downtime and the Downtime percentage. The maximum service credit for any calendar month under this SLA shall not exceed the fees payable for such calendar month.
   7. This SLA describes your sole remedy, and our entire obligation, if we exceed the Target Downtime. This SLA does not diminish or override the disclaimer of warranties in the Agreement to which this SLA is attached (except as expressly stated therein). No party other than Customer receives any rights under this SLA.
2. TECHNICAL SUPPORT
We will provide commercially reasonable telephone, live online chat, and/or email assistance for general advice and technical support, as well as technical assistance and remediation for operational issues, consistent with the level of support that Afrofiliate generally offers at no additional charge to users of the Platform Services.
3. DOMAINS
All domain additions or changes, as defined in the Order Form, will be performed by Afrofiliate within twenty-four (24) business hours. This term applies solely to domains registered and managed by Afrofiliate. For clarification, service issues related to domains managed by Customer are not subject to this SLA.
