Customer is responsible for paying all local, state, federal or foreign taxes, levies or duties of any nature.
8. Confidentiality.
   1. Definition of Confidential Information. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all confidential and proprietary information of a party (“Disclosing Party”) disclosed to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood by the Receiving Party to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Notwithstanding the above, neither party shall have liability to the other with regard to any Confidential Information of the other that the Receiving Party reasonably demonstrates: (a) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (c) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (d) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party.
   2. Confidentiality. The Receiving Party shall not disclose or use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of these Terms, except with the Disclosing Party’s prior written permission. Each party agrees to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other party in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential information of like kind, but in no event shall either party exercise less than reasonable care in protecting such Confidential Information. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it shall provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. Notwithstanding any such compelled disclosure by the Receiving Party, such compelled disclosure shall not otherwise affect the Receiving Party’s obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information so disclosed.
   3. Remedies. If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of this Section 8, the Disclosing Party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the parties that any other available remedies may be inadequate.
9. Limitation of Liability.

   EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OR A BREACH OF SECTIONS 4.3 (CUSTOMER CONTENT) OR 8 (CONFIDENTIALITY), IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR USE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, EXCEED THE LESSER OF $5,000 OR THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE BY CUSTOMER TO EDUCATIVE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

10. Term and Termination.
    1. Term. These Terms are effective on the Effective Date of the Order Form and shall remain in effect until the Order Form terminates.
    2. Termination for Cause. A party may terminate these Terms for cause: (a) upon thirty (30) days written notice of a material breach to the other party if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period; or (b) if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors.
    3. Termination for Change of Control. Educative may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice in the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of Customer’s assets or other change of control of Customer. In the event that Educative undertakes a merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, Educative may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to Customer.
    4. Effect of Termination. The following provisions shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms: Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.2, 8, 9, 10.4, 11 and 12. Termination shall not relieve Customer of the obligation to pay any fees accrued or payable to Educative prior to the effective date of termination. In the event that Customer terminates these Terms under Section 10.2 or Educative terminates pursuant to Section 10.3, Educative shall refund to Customer any prepaid fees for the remainder of the term after termination.
11. Arbitration.

    The parties will cooperate in good faith to resolve any disputes regarding these Terms. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days following the date one party sends written notice of the dispute to the other party, and if Customer or Educative wishes to pursue the dispute, it shall be resolved through neutral binding arbitration in King County, Washington in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of The American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding upon the parties, and judgment may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law. Expenses of arbitration will be paid according to the findings of the arbitrator.

12. General Provisions.

    In the event of a conflict between the terms of an Order Form and these Terms, the conflicting term in the Order Form shall control. All notices under these Terms shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given upon (a) personal delivery; (b) the second business day after mailing with proper postage; (c) the second business day after sending by confirmed facsimile; or (d) the second business day after sending by confirmed email. These Terms may not be assigned by either party by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such consent is not required in connection with the assignment of these Terms by Educative pursuant to a merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of Educative’s assets. The validity, construction and interpretation of these Terms shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Washington, excluding conflict of law provisions. The parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Seattle, Washington. These Terms, together with the Order Form, policies and instructions incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. These Terms supersede all prior negotiations, agreements, and undertakings between the parties with respect to such matter. If any provision of these Terms is held to be contrary to law, then the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding any provision contained in these Terms, except for financial obligations due and owing, neither party shall be liable to the other to the extent fulfillment or performance of any terms or provisions of these Terms are delayed or prevented by causes not within its control and which, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, it is unable to prevent. A waiver by either party of any breach by the other party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach or any other covenant by the other party. All waivers must be in writing and signed by the party waiving its rights. These Terms do not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, and fiduciary or employment relationship between the parties.

13. Publicity.

    Educative may use Customer’s name and/or logo in its marketing materials or on its website for the purpose of identifying Customer as a customer of the Services. Such right will terminate when Customer ceases use of the Services.
