4.6. If any undisputed payment due Talkable pursuant to this Agreement is not received by the due date and you have not provided written notice of the dispute to Talkable within thirty (30) days after receipt of the invoice, then, at Talkable’s discretion, such amount may accrue late interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid. However, Talkable will not exercise its rights pursuant to this section if the unpaid amounts are under reasonable and good-faith dispute and you are cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.

4.7. Talkable’s fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, but not limited to, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with the goods and services made available to You by Talkable, other than taxes assessable against Talkable based on its income, property and employees. If Talkable incurs a legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which You are responsible, the appropriate amount will be invoiced to and paid by You, unless You provide Talkable with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

5.1. This Agreement commences on the Effective Date as defined herein and continues as described in the Order Form.

Upon request, Talkable will, at Your election, either return Your Data to You, or delete Your Data and certify such destruction in writing.

7.4. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information.

EXCEPT IN CONNECTION WITH THE BREACH OF A PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS IN SECTION 7 HEREUNDER OR THE INDEMNIFICATION OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES).

A party’s sole remedy for any purported assignment by the other party in breach of this paragraph shall be, at the non-assigning party’s election, termination of this Agreement upon written notice to the assigning party. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

12.7. The parties are independent contractors. Neither party will be deemed to be an employee, agent, Affiliate or legal representative of the other for any purpose and neither will have any right, power or authority to create any obligation or responsibility on behalf of the other.

12.10. The section titles and numbering of this Agreement are displayed for convenience and have no legal effect.

12.11. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement.
