The parties acknowledge that any individual user of the             Internet could be a user of Excite and/or Client through activities             unrelated to this Agreement and that user data gathered independent             of this Agreement, even from individuals who are users of both             parties' services, will not be deemed to be User Data for the             purposes of this Agreement.

      g)    User Data will be deemed to be the joint property of the parties             and, subject to the limitations contained herein, both parties will             retain all rights to make use of any User Data obtained through this             Agreement.

      i)    Client will not use User Data to directly or indirectly solicit any             Excite users either individually or in the aggregate during the term             of this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months following             the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

      j)    Neither party will sell, disclose, transfer or rent any User Data             which could reasonably be used to identify a specific named             individual (Individual Data) to any third party nor will either             party use Individual Data on behalf of any third party without the             express permission of the individual user. Where user permission for             dissemination of Individual Data to third parties has been obtained,             each party will use commercially reasonable efforts to require the             third party recipients of Individual Data to provide an             unsubscribe feature in any email communications generated by, or             on behalf of, the third party recipients of Individual Data.

      k)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose Confidential             Information or User Data (i) to the extent required by a court of             competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority or otherwise             as required by law or (ii) on a need-to-know basis under an             obligation of confidentiality to its legal counsel, accountants,             banks and other financing sources and their advisors.

                                                                    CONFIDENTIAL

15.   DISPUTE RESOLUTION

      a)    The parties agree that any breach of either of the parties'             obligations regarding trademarks, service marks or trade names,             confidentiality and/or User Data would result in irreparable injury             for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in the             event of any breach or threatened breach of a party's obligations             regarding trademarks, service marks or trade names or             confidentiality, the aggrieved party will be entitled to seek             equitable relief in addition to its other available legal remedies             in a court of competent jurisdiction.

In the event that the dispute(s) cannot be resolved             through good faith negotiation, the parties will refer the             dispute(s) to a mutually acceptable mediator.

      c)    In the event that disputes between the parties arising from or             concerning in any manner the subject matter of this Agreement, other             than disputes arising from or concerning trademarks, service marks             or trade names, confidentiality and/or User Data, cannot be resolved             through good faith negotiation and mediation, the parties will refer             the dispute(s) to the American Arbitration Association for             resolution through binding arbitration by a single arbitrator

      f)    Severability. In the event that any of the provisions of this             Agreement are held to be unenforceable by a court or arbitrator, the             remaining portions of the Agreement will remain in full force and             effect.
