If Windfall reasonably believes the Service may infringe a third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, then Windfall may, in its sole discretion: (x) modify the Service so that it no longer infringes; (y) obtain a license for your continued use of the Service; and/or (z) remove the infringing component from the Service. If, despite its commercially reasonable efforts to do so, Windfall is unable to perform (x), (y) or (z), then Windfall or you may terminate your Agreement upon 90 days’ prior written notice, in which case Windfall shall issue to you a prorated refund for any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the then-current term after the effective date of termination.

11.2.    Assignment. This Agreement will be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the other Party’s prior written consent.

11.4.    Injunctive Relief; Attorneys’ Fees.

Accordingly, Windfall will be entitled to seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and other equitable relief for any such breach.  If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

11.5.    Governing Law & Venue. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including validity, interpretation and effect, by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

11.6.    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is made for the benefit of Windfall and you, and not for the benefit of any third parties. No other person or entity will be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement.

11.7.    No Waiver. No failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement, nor any waiver of any default or breach of this Agreement by either Party will be deemed to imply or constitute a waiver of any other default or breach of this Agreement by either Party, whether of a similar nature or otherwise.

11.8.    Severability. In the event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the provision will be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the enforceability of remaining provisions will be unimpaired.

11.9.    Notice. Except as provided elsewhere in this Agreement, either Party may give notice by written communication sent by next-day mail delivered by a nationally recognized delivery service or by email to: (i) if to you, to your address and email address on record that you provided in connection with your subscription for the Services, or (ii) if to Windfall, to Windfall Data, Inc., 595 Pacific Ave, Fl 4, San Francisco, CA 94133. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the second business day after mailing.

11.10.    Geographic Restrictions. The Services are provided for access and use only by persons located in the United States. You acknowledge that you may not be able to access the Services outside of the United States and that access thereto may not be legal by certain persons in certain countries.

If you access the Services from the European Union, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure that differ from United States laws, please be advised that through your continued use of the Services, which are governed by United States law, you may be transferring your personal information and Customer Data to the United States or any other country in which Windfall or its subsidiaries, affiliates or service providers maintain facilities and you consent to that transfer.

11.11.    Force Majeure. Neither Party will be in default of any obligation under this Agreement (other than payment obligations) to the extent that its failure to perform is caused solely by conditions beyond that Party’s reasonable control, such as acts of God, civil commotion, war, strikes, labor disputes, third party Internet service interruptions or slowdowns, vandalism or “hacker” attacks, acts of terrorism or governmental demands or requirements that prevent or prohibit Windfall from providing Services.

11.12.    Modification to Terms. Windfall reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement effective only upon Windfall posting an updated version of this Agreement on the Services, at which time we will update the “last updated” date below.
