The remedies expressly provided in the SLA are Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Swaarm’s entire obligation, with respect to any service-level violation.

• Mitigation Measures. In the event of any Claim or potential Claim covered by Section XII.1, Swaarm 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 Swaarm 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 will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Swaarm against any Claims arising from or related to any Customer Data or the use of the Platform Services by Customer, Authorized Users, or Partners in violation of these Terms of Service or any applicable Swaarm documentation or materials, which 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.
• 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 hereunder 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.

• The no-fault based liability pursuant to Section 536a(1) German Civil Code for Defects in the Platform existing at the time of contracting shall be excluded, unless the Defect relates to a feature of the Platform essential for the Contract Purpose.

• For each case in which a Platform Service is used unauthorisedly under the responsibility of the Customer, the Customer shall pay damages in the amount of the compensation that would have been due for the contractual use under the minimum contract period applicable to this Service. The Customer reserves the right to prove that the Customer is not responsible for the unauthorised use or that there is no damage or considerably less damage. Swaarm remains entitled to claim further damages.
• 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.
• Liability Cap. EXCEPT FOR AMOUNTS OWED UNDER SECTION VII, 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 Swaarm UNDER THESE TERMS OF SERVICE FOR THE SERVICE PERIOD TO WHICH SUCH DAMAGES PERTAIN.
• Exceptions. Nothing in this Section XII shall limit or waive a party’s: (i) liability for any breach of its confidentiality obligations under these Terms of Service; (ii) liability for its infringement or misappropriation of any proprietary rights of the other party; or (iii) indemnification obligations under Section XI.
• Notification. The Customer is obliged to immediately notify any damage pursuant to the above liability provisions to Swaarm in text form or to have such damage documented by Swaarm, so that Swaarm is informed as early as possible and can possibly still mitigate the damage together with the Customer.
• Limitation of claims. Claims of the Customer based on the breach of any duty not consisting of a Defect become time-barred, except in the event of intention or gross negligence, within one year from beginning of the limitation period. This shall not apply if the damage in question incurred by the Customer consists in personal injury. Claims for personal injury become statute-barred within the statutory limitation period. Any rescission of contract or reduction of payments shall be invalid if the claim to performance or subsequent performance of the Customer has become time-barred.

• Case Study. Provided the Customer is satisfied with the Platform Services, Swaarm may develop a case study for public dissemination and marketing use by Swaarm describing the benefits Customer has derived from the Platform Services.

Any attempt to assign this Agreement except as permitted under this Section, will be null and of no effect. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms o of Service will bind and inure to the benefit of each party’s successors and permitted assigns.
• Set-off, Retention. The Customer shall not have a right of set-off and/or reduction against Swaarm unless its counterclaim has been legally established, undisputed or acknowledged by Swaarm. Additionally, the Customer shall have a right of set-off against Swaarm if it claims complaints or counterclaims from the same contractual relationship. Furthermore, the Customer may only exercise a right of retention if the counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.

• Waiver. No forbearance or delay by either party in exercising or enforcing the provisions of this 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 Terms of Service will not operate or be interpreted as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach of that or any other provision.
• Notices. All notices permitted or required under these Terms of Service shall be in writing, will reference these Terms of Service, 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.
