7. TERM AND TERMINATION
A. Term. The term of these Terms of Service will begin on the date you begin our Subscription Plan Date and will continue thereafter until your Subscription Plan expires or is canceled.
B. Mutual Right to Terminate For Cause. These Terms of Service may be terminated (i) by either Party if the other Party breaches or violates a material obligation under these Terms of Service and does not cure such violation or breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice thereof from the non-breaching Party, (ii) as expressly set out in these Terms of Service, or (iii) by either Party if the other Party provides proof that it made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, suffered or permitted the appointment of a receiver for its business or assets, or availed itself of or became subject to any proceeding under the US Federal Bankruptcy Act or any other foreign or domestic statute, law, rule or regulation relating to insolvency or the protection of rights of creditors. If Customer terminates these Terms of Service due to Frontera’s uncured breach of a material obligation, then Frontera will refund Customer a prorated amount of the prepaid annual Subscription Fees paid by Customer to Frontera for the terminated Services based on the effective date of termination of these Terms of Service and Customer will not be liable to pay Subscription Fees due for the unused portion of the remainder of the applicable Subscription Term. If Frontera terminates these Terms of Service due to Customer’s uncured breach of a material obligation, Frontera will not refund any Subscription Fees or other amounts paid by Customer and Customer remains liable for payment of all Subscription Fees due under these Terms of Service.
C. Effect of Termination. Upon expiration or termination for any reason, Customer will discontinue all use of the Services. Upon written request by Customer, within thirty (30) days following the expiration or termination of these Terms of Service and in the format that Frontera generally makes available to its customers, Frontera will make available to Customer all Customer Content that’s then-capable of being exported from the Services and then-stored in Customer’s Frontera account. Any non-standard file or data formats or delivery mechanism must be mutually agreed upon between the parties and may be subject to additional mutually agreed upon fees. After such thirty (30) day period, Frontera will have no further obligation to retain any Customer Content and Customer consents to deletion by Frontera, except that Frontera may retain (i) relevant information for financial reporting, compliance, or other legal purposes; (ii) any information derived from with Customer Content used to train or improve its models; and (iii) any Customer Content that has been deidentified or aggregated in a manner that it cannot reasonably identify any natural person or Customer.

The Parties agree that the payment obligations of either Party, Sections 4-5, 9-13, and other provisions that reasonably should survive to interpret the obligations or Parties’ intent of these Terms of Service will survive any expiration or termination of these Terms of Service.
8. INDEMNIFICATION FROM THIRD PARTY CLAIMS
A. Indemnification By Frontera. Subject to the terms set forth in this Section 6, at its expense, Frontera will defend Customer and its personnel, successors, and assigns from and against any Customer Claim (defined below) brought against them, and indemnify them for any judgment that a court of competent jurisdiction grants a third party on such Customer Claim or that’s awarded to a third party under any Frontera-approved settlement of any such Customer Claim. A “Customer Claim” means a third party claim, suit, or proceeding alleging that the Services, when used as intended, infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property rights of a third party. If any portion of the Services is subject to a Customer Claim that prohibits or impairs Customer’s use of the Services, Frontera will, at its own cost and discretion, either procure for Customer the right to continue the Services or modify the Services so that they are non-infringing but retain materially equivalent functionality. If neither of the foregoing options are available on terms that are commercially reasonable for Frontera, then Frontera may terminate Customer’s right to access and use such portion of the Services subject to the Customer Claim, and Frontera will refund Customer any prepaid Fees for the unused portion of the applicable terminated Service’s Subscription Term, prorated from the effective date of termination.
B. Indemnification by Customer. Subject to the terms set forth in this Section 6, at its expense, Customer will defend Frontera and its personnel, successors, and assigns from and against any Frontera Claim (defined below) brought against them, and indemnify them for any judgment that a court of competent jurisdiction grants a third party on such Frontera Claim or that’s awarded to a third party under any Customer-approved settlement of any such Frontera Claim. A “Frontera Claim” means a third party claim, suit, or proceeding alleging that the Customer Content, when processed or used as allowed under these Terms of Service, violate, misuse, infringe, or misappropriate the intellectual property, propriety, privacy, or other rights of a third party.
C. Indemnification Procedures. A Party seeking indemnification hereunder (“Indemnitee”) must promptly notify in writing the other Party (“Indemnitor”) of any claim for which defense and indemnification is sought per this Section 8. Each Party agrees that it will not, without the other’s prior written consent, enter into any settlement or compromise of any claim that: (a) results, or creates a likelihood of a result, that in any way diminishes or impairs any right or defense that would otherwise exist absent such settlement or compromise; or (b) constitutes or includes an admission of liability, fault, negligence or wrongdoing on the part of the other Party. Indemnitor has the sole right to control the defense of any claim for which it is providing indemnification hereunder with its choice of counsel, and such control extends to all negotiations relating to the settlement of any such claim (except that Indemnitor may not make any admissions on Indemnitee’s behalf or settle the claim unless the settlement unconditionally releases Indemnitee of all liability). Indemnitee understands that Indemnitor’s obligations under this Section 8 will be limited to the extent a court of final jurisdiction finds that Indemnitee contributed to the claim. Indemnitee may, at its own cost and expense and election, participate in the defense of any such claim. To the extent covered under this Section 8, indemnification is each Party’s sole and exclusive remedy under these Terms of Service for any third party claims.
D. Mutual Limitation to Indemnification Obligations. Neither Party’s defense or indemnification obligations under these Terms of Service will apply or will be comparatively reduced to the extent the underlying allegation arises from the Indemnitee’s fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, violation of any applicable law, or breach of any of its obligations under these Terms of Service. Frontera’s defense and indemnification obligations will not apply or will be comparatively reduced to the extent a Customer Claim arises from: (i) any Customer Content if used by Frontera as permitted under these Terms of Service; (ii) any modification to the Services made by Customer, or a party at the direction of Customer without Frontera’s prior written consent if the Customer Claim would have been avoided in the absence of such modification; or (iii) Customer’s use of the Services in breach of these Terms of Service (any of the foregoing subsections (i) to (iii) are “Exclusions”).
9. MUTUAL LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY
A. Aggregate Liability and Exclusion of Certain Types of Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW AND SUBJECT TO SECTION 13(B) BELOW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EACH PARTY ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, OR ANY OTHER CLAIM WILL BE LIMITED TO THE ACTUAL AND PROVEN DIRECT DAMAGES INCURRED, UP TO THE AGGREGATE AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER HEREUNDER AND ALL ORDER FORMS DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE INCIDENT GIVING RISE TO THE APPLICABLE CLAIM. THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE CLAIMS OR SUITS UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT ENLARGE OR EXTEND THIS LIMITATION OF DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW AND SUBJECT TO SECTION 13(B) BELOW, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR LOST REVENUE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES.
