(b) Protection. The Receiving Party shall protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information with the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own information of like kind (but in no event with less than reasonable care).

(a) By DailyPay.

(i) DailyPay will indemnify and hold harmless (including payment of reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) Company and its officers, directors and employees against any third-party claim (including payment of reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs related to such claim) alleging that the Service infringes the intellectual property rights of such third party, except to the extent the alleged infringement arises out of (A) Company’s use of the Service in violation of the Agreement, (B) Company’s use of the Service in combination with other products, equipment, software or data not supplied by DailyPay, (C) any modification of the Service by any person other than DailyPay or its authorized agents, or (D) Company Data.

(c) Procedures. The obligations in this Section 8 are contingent on the indemnified Party (i) promptly notifying the indemnifying Party of any indemnifiable claim (except that any failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve indemnifying party of its obligations under this section unless such failure materially prejudices indemnifying party’s ability to defend the claim); (ii) granting the indemnifying Party sole control over the defense and/or settlement of the claim (provided that a settlement may not impose costs or liability on the indemnified Party without its consent); and (iii) providing reasonable assistance to the indemnifying Party at the indemnifying Party’s expense.

10.  GOVERNING LAW, DISPUTE RESOLUTION

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement, including its formation, and the rights of the Parties thereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles that would require a different result. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences interstate commerce.  Notwithstanding the preceding provision with respect to the applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et. seq.

(b) Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope, applicability and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be finally settled by arbitration before a sole arbitrator.  The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures.  The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be New York City, New York.  Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

In such instances, the class action shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, the State of New York.

(d) Waiver: Jury Trial.  The Parties agree to waive any Constitutional and statutory rights to sue in court and have a trial in front of a jury.

(e) Remedies; Injunctive Relief. All rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement are cumulative and the exercise of one remedy will not exclude election of other remedies. A Party’s breach or threatened breach of any of Sections 1(b), 2(a)(iv), 3, or 5 of this Agreement may cause irreparable injury that may not be compensated by monetary damages.
