EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 9.7 THROUGH 9.9, AND NOT INCLUDING CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATION TO PAY ALL FEES OWED FOR THE ENTERPRISE SERVICES, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ALL CLAIMS OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BY STATUTE, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR UNDER ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE ENTERPRISE SERVICES SUBJECT TO THE CLAIM DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH THE CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE. FOR CLARITY, THE CALCULATION OF EACH PARTY’S LIABILITY UNDER THIS SECTION 9.7 EXCLUDES ANY FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR ANY PARTNER SERVICES, EVEN WHERE GETGENIUS’S ENTERPRISE SERVICES ARE BUNDLED WITH OR OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN CONJUNCTION WITH PARTNER SERVICES.
9.8 Excluded Damages.
(a) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY, ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL OR DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE ENTERPRISE SERVICES OR ANY OTHER ASPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
(b) The Enterprise Services support multi-factor authentication, and the Acceptable Use Rules require you to maintain the confidentiality of your passwords or other login credentials for the Enterprise Services. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL GETGENIUS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS, OR INJURY RESULTING FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE ENTERPRISE SERVICES OR YOUR ACCOUNT OR THE CONTENT OR INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN IF: (A) THE UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR USE COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED THROUGH YOUR USE OF MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION; OR (B) YOU OR ANY OF YOUR AUTHORIZED USERS FAIL TO MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF ANY PASSWORD OR OTHER LOGIN CREDENTIALS.
(c) WITHOUT LIMITING SECTION 9.8(b), TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL GETGENIUS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS, OR INJURY RESULTING FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE ENTERPRISE SERVICES OR YOUR ACCOUNT OR THE CONTENT OR INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT GETGENIUS’S BREACH OF THE ENTERPRISE SECURITY STANDARDS RESULTS IN THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF YOUR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

9.10 Basis of Bargain. THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF SECTIONS 9.7 THROUGH 9.9 IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THESE TERMS BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND LIMIT THEIR POTENTIAL LIABILITY GIVEN THE FEES CHARGED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER IF GETGENIUS WERE TO ASSUME ANY FURTHER LIABILITY. THE PARTIES HAVE RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THESE TERMS.

You will give notice of your Dispute to us in writing. If we do not decide together on an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after we receive that notice, we both agree to ask the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre (BCICAC) to appoint one for us. The arbitration will take place in Vancouver, British Columbia, under the Arbitration Act (British Columbia), and will follow the Domestic Commercial Arbitration Rules of the BCICAC. The arbitrator will have the right to decide how the costs should be divided between us. The arbitrator will have the right to accept whatever kind of evidence they think is appropriate and will have the right to make whatever award they consider fair and equitable, based on legal and equitable principles, including giving an order such as an injunction (to stop one of us from doing something) or an order that you or we pay damages to the other. The arbitrator’s award can be entered into the registry of the British Columbia Supreme Court in Vancouver, British Columbia, and enforced in the same way as a court order if the court in the enforcing jurisdiction allows.
(d) Any Dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. GetGenius and you each waive any right to a trial by jury.
