Buyer shall provide the MSDS and instructions to all personnel prior to the handling and use of the Products by such personnel, and shall ensure that such personnel use the Products strictly in accordance with the MSDS, the instructions, and any warnings on the labels of the Products. All chemicals should be handled only by qualified, trained professionals who are familiar with the hazards associated with such chemicals.

8. Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" shall mean any information disclosed by one party to the other which is marked or identified as "Confidential", "Proprietary" or in some other manner to indicate its confidential nature, or information which the receiving party should know that the disclosing party would reasonably regard as confidential. Each party shall treat as confidential all Confidential Information of the other party, shall not use such Confidential Information except as set forth herein, and shall use reasonable efforts not to disclose such Confidential Information to any third party. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties shall use at least the same degree of care which it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own confidential information of like importance to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other party under this Agreement. Each party shall promptly notify the other party of any actual or suspected misuse or unauthorized disclosure of the other party's Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the above, neither party shall have liability to the other with regard to any Confidential Information of the other which the receiving party can prove: (a) was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed or has entered the public domain through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was known to the receiving party, without restriction, at the time of disclosure; (c) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the disclosing party; (d) was independently developed by the receiving party without any use of the Confidential Information; (e) became known to the receiving party, without restriction, from a source other than the disclosing party, without breach of this Agreement by the receiving party and otherwise not in violation of the disclosing party's rights; or (f) is disclosed pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body; provided, however, that the receiving party shall provide prompt notice thereof to the disclosing party to enable the disclosing party to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or restrict such disclosure. Breach of the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 8 may cause irreparable damage and therefore, the injured party shall have the right to equitable and injunctive relief, and to recover the amount of damages (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such unauthorized use. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, each party shall return all tangible Confidential Information received from the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, netMercury will have the right to use, sell, or otherwise distribute aggregated statistical information regarding Buyer's use of the netMercury System; provided, however, that netMercury shall not disclose the name or identity of the Buyer, or any information or data from which such name or identity could reasonably be discerned.

9. Indemnity. Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless netMercury and the Supplier, and their employees, agents, successors, officers, and assigns, from any suits, losses, claims, demands, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorney and accounting fees) that netMercury or a Supplier may sustain or incur arising from (a) the Buyer's use of the Products purchased hereunder, (b) the Buyers failure to comply with any applicable laws and regulations (including without limitation those regarding the export of products or technology abroad) or to obtain any licenses or approvals from the appropriate government agencies necessary to purchase and use the Products, or (c) the Buyer's breach of any of its obligations set forth in these Terms or in the Agreement; provided, that netMercury provides Buyer with (i) prompt written notice of such claim; (ii) control over the defense and settlement of such claim; and (iii) proper and full information and assistance at Buyer's expense to settle and/or defend any such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not settle any such claim, suit or proceeding without the written consent of netMercury, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

NETMERCURY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

11. Limitation of Liability. NETMERCURY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, NOR FOR ANY LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF USE OR OF DATA, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, LOST PROFITS OR GOODWILL, OR OTHER INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF NETMERCURY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. THIS EXCLUSION INCLUDES ANY LIABILITY THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST BUYER. NETMERCURY'S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCT SOLD HEREUNDER SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE PRICE PAID BY BUYER FOR SUCH PRODUCT.

12. General. These Terms and performance by the parties hereunder shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, U.S.A., without regard to provisions on the conflicts of laws. Buyer and netMercury consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state and federal courts of the City and County of San Francisco, California, U.S.A. and no other place. Buyer shall not assign its order or any interest therein or any rights thereunder without the prior written consent of netMercury. Neither party shall be liable for delays in performance (or for non-performance) of that party's obligations hereunder as a result of a force majeur; the affected party shall resume performance as soon as reasonably possible. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between netMercury and Buyer and supersede all previous communications, representations and agreements (except for the Agreement), whether oral or written, between the Buyer and netMercury with respect to the subject matter hereof.
