THERE IS NO WARRANTY THAT THE 6FUSION SITE, 6FUSION SOFTWARE OR 6FUSION PLATFORM ARE ERROR-FREE, WILL FUNCTION WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, OR ARE SUFFICIENTLY DOCUMENTED TO BE USABLE BY THE END USER. THE END USER ASSUMES THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF THE PERFORMANCE OR USE OF THE 6FUSION SITE, 6FUSION SOFTWARE, 6FUSION PLATFORM, 6FUSION MARKETPLACE AND DOCUMENTATION. 6FUSION DOES NOT ENDORSE, WARRANT, GUARANTEE, OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY A THIRD PARTY THROUGH THE 6FUSION SITE OR ANY HYPERLINKED SITE OR FEATURED IN ANY BANNER OR OTHER ADVERTISEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SUPPLIER SERVICES OFFERED BY SUPPLIERS THROUGH THE 6FUSION MARKETPLACE. 6FUSION WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN END USER AND ANY PARTY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO AGREEMENTS BETWEEN END USER AND SUPPLIERS.

THE END USER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS RELIED ON NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR OTHER STATEMENTS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN MADE ORALLY OR IN WRITING), AND IS RELYING SOLELY UPON ITS OWN JUDGMENT AND EXPERTISE, AS TO THE SUITABILITY OF THE 6FUSION SITE, 6FUSION SOFTWARE, 6FUSION PLATFORM AND DOCUMENTATION FOR THE END USER’S USE.
8.1. Infringement. 6fusion shall defend End User from and against any and all third party claims or demands (“Claims”) that End User’s use of the 6Fusion Software or 6fusion Platform in the form made available to End User is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to infringe any United States patent, United States copyright or trade secret protected under the laws of the United States, and 6fusion shall pay any losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) finally awarded against End User as a result of any Claim. End User shall give 6fusion prompt written notice of all Claims for which indemnity is sought hereunder and shall provide 6fusion with: (a) all related documentation in End User’s possession or control relating to such Claims; and (b) reasonable assistance to 6fusion in the defense of such Claims. 6fusion shall control, at 6fusion’s sole cost and expense, the defense or settlement of all such Claims and shall keep End User apprised of the status of all such Claims. End User shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the defense of all such Claims with counsel of End User’s choice at End User’s sole cost and expense.
8.2. Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 6fusion shall not have any liability or indemnification obligations to End User under this Agreement to the extent that any Claim is based in whole or in part upon or arises out of: (a) use of the 6fusion Software or 6fusion Platform by End User or any third party in combination with equipment, materials, products or software where the 6fusion Software or 6fusion Platform alone would not be infringing; (b) modification of the 6fusion Software or 6fusion Platform by any party other than 6fusion; or (c) use of the 6fusion Software or 6fusion Platform in a manner not authorized by this Agreement. End User understands and acknowledges that 6fusion does not control the flow of data to or from the Internet. Such flow depends in large part on the performance of Internet services provided or controlled by third parties. At times, actions or inactions of such third parties can impair or disrupt End User’s connections to the Internet (or portions thereof). Although 6fusion will use commercially reasonable efforts to take the action it deems appropriate to remedy and avoid such events, 6fusion cannot guarantee that such events will not occur. Accordingly, 6fusion disclaims any and all liability resulting from or related to such events to the extent such events are not directly caused by 6fusion, or any of its agents or subcontractors.
8.3. License, Replacement or Refund. If the 6fusion Software or 6fusion Platform becomes the subject of a Claim as set forth in Section 8.1 above or if 6fusion believes that the 6fusion Software or 6fusion Platform is likely to become the subject of a Claim, 6fusion may, at its sole discretion and expense: (i) obtain a license from such third party for the benefit of End User; (ii) replace or modify the 6fusion Software or 6fusion Platform, as applicable (“Replacement”) so it is no longer the subject of a Claim so long as such Replacement performs substantially the same functions as the 6fusion Software or 6fusion Platform at issue; or (iii) if neither of the foregoing is deemed by 6fusion in its sole discretion to be commercially feasible, terminate this Agreement with no further liability to End User. This Section 8.3 and the indemnification obligations in Section 8.1 state the entire liability of 6fusion with respect to any alleged intellectual property infringement caused by the 6fusion Software or 6fusion Platform.
8.4. Indemnification by End User. End User shall indemnify and hold the 6fusion Parties (as defined below) harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to third party claims based upon: (i) End User’s use of the 6fusion Software and/or 6fusion Platform as set forth in Section 8.2 (a), (b) and (c); (ii) End User’s failure to strictly maintain the confidentiality and integrity of any account, user name or passwords used in connection with the 6fusion Software or 6fusion Platform; (iii) End User’s violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations in connection with End User’s use of the 6fusion Software, 6fusion Platform or 6fusion Site; (iv) the Metering Data; or (v) End User’s failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement. 6fusion shall give End User prompt written notice of any claim, action or demand for which indemnity is sought hereunder and End User shall control, at End User’s sole cost and expense, the defense or settlement of any such claim. 6fusion shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the defense of such claim with counsel of 6fusion’s choice at 6fusion’s sole cost and expense.
9.1. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, SHALL 6FUSION AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND LICENSORS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “6FUSION PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED PROFITS, COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, EVEN IF THE 6FUSION PARTIES HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE 6FUSION PARTIES’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR DIRECT DAMAGES EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LIMITED REMEDY HEREUNDER.
9.2. THE 6FUSION PARTIES WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY CLAIMS, LOSSES, ACTIONS, DAMAGES, SUITS, OR PROCEEDINGS RESULTING FROM ANY OF THE FOLLOWING OR FROM ANY 6FUSION EFFORTS TO ADDRESS OR MITIGATE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: (i) SECURITY BREACHES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION EAVESDROPPING, THIRD PARTY ACCESS TO CUSTOMER DATA OR TO ASSIGNED COMPUTERS, THIRD PARTY ACCESS TO OR MISUSE OF PASSWORDS PROVIDED TO 6FUSION, AND INTERCEPTION OF TRAFFIC SENT OR RECEIVED USING THE 6FUSION SITE 6FUSION SOFTWARE AND/OR 6FUSION PLATFORM; (ii) RELEASE OR EXPOSURE, FOR ANY OTHER REASON, OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION OR OTHER PRIVATE DATA, INCLUDING DATA BELONGING TO END USER OR OTHER USERS; (iii) DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACKS, VIRUSES, WORMS, AND OTHER INTENTIONAL INTERFERENCE BY THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION BY OTHER 6FUSION CUSTOMERS; (iv) LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF ACCESS TO DATA; (v) ACTIONS OF THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION OTHER 6FUSION CUSTOMERS, SUPPLIERS AND OTHER THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES; (vi) ACTIONS OF 6FUSION EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR CONTRACTORS ACTING OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THEIR DUTIES; (vii) MISTAKES, OMISSIONS, INTERRUPTIONS, DELETIONS OF FILES, ERRORS, DEFECTS, DELAYS IN OPERATION, OR OTHER FAILURES OF PERFORMANCE OF THE 6FUSION SITE, 6FUSION SOFTWARE OR 6FUSION PLATFORM, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ACCIDENTAL DISCONNECTION, SUSPENSION AND/OR TERMINATION OF THE 6FUSION PLATFORM; AND (viii) THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, AND USEFULNESS OF THE 6FUSION SITE 6FUSION SOFTWARE AND/OR 6FUSION PLATFORM.
9.3. Basis of Bargain. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that 6fusion has agreed to grant the licenses granted herein on the terms set forth in this Agreement in express reliance upon the limitations of liability specified herein, which allocate the risk between 6fusion and the End User.
10.1. Term. The term of this Agreement will commence on the date on which the End User clicks the “I Accept the Terms of this Agreement” button as part of the registration process required to access and use the 6fusion Software and 6fusion Platform on the 6fusion Site.
10.2. Termination. End User may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to 6fusion for convenience or 6fusion may terminate this Agreement if End User’s material breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after 6fusion’s written notice. End User will not receive a refund of any prepaid amounts or advance payments if this Agreement is terminated as a result of either circumstance described in the preceding sentence. End User may terminate this Agreement if 6fusion’s material breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after End User’s written notice, and in such event, End User shall be entitled to a refund of any prepaid amounts or advance payments for the period for which the Agreement was terminated.
10.3. Effects of Termination.

11. Supplier Services
If End User elects to purchase Supplier Services under this Agreement, the following terms shall apply only to those End Users and not End Users who use only the 6fusion Software and 6fusion Platform without purchasing Supplier Services.
11.1. Scope of Agreement With Respect to Supplier Services. End User is entering into this Agreement in order to receive Supplier Services. This Agreement specifies the terms that apply to all Supplier Services that End User may receive through the 6fusion Marketplace except that the specific Supplier Services provided by a given individual Supplier will be governed by the Supplier Specific Terms for those specific Supplier Services. For the avoidance of doubt, End User may elect to purchase and receive Supplier Services from more than one Supplier. In such event, End User will be subject to the Supplier Specific Terms that apply only to the Supplier Services provided by the corresponding Supplier; End User will be subject to different Supplier Specific Terms that correspond to the other Supplier Services that End User is purchasing and receiving from other corresponding Suppliers. As a condition to receiving the Supplier Services, End User will be required to affirmatively agree to the Supplier Specific Terms for the Supplier Services End User is purchasing.
