(iii) EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 8, EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF QUALITY, ACCURACY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THE USE OF THE VOLUNTEERMARK PROGRAM OR SERVICES AND THE INTERNET IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

Each party acknowledges that any information that it, as the receiving party knows or has reason to know (either because such information is marked or otherwise identified by the other party, as the disclosing party, orally or in writing as confidential or proprietary, has commercial value, or because it is not generally known in the relevant trade or industry) is 'Confidential Information' of the disclosing party and will remain the sole property of the disclosing party. Such Confidential Information includes but is not limited to data, information (including personally identifiable information), ideas, materials, specifications, procedures, schedules, software, technical processes and formulas, source code, product designs, sales, cost and other unpublished financial information, product and business plans, advertising revenues, usage rates, advertising relationships, projections, marketing data and other similar information provided by a party. For avoidance of doubt, Customer Data shall be deemed Confidential Information of VolunteerMark. Each party agrees that it will not disclose, use, modify, copy, reproduce or otherwise divulge such Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written approval of the disclosing party except that the receiving party shall have the right to disclose such Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable law or to the directors, officers or employees of the receiving party who have a need to know such Confidential Information in order to perform its obligations under the Agreement and to the extent such directors, officers or employees are subject to obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure that are substantially similar to the obligations set forth in the Agreement. The prohibitions contained in this Section will not apply to information (i) already lawfully known to the receiving party prior to such disclosure by the disclosing party; (ii) independently developed by the receiving party without access to or use of the disclosing party's Confidential Information; (iii) disclosed in published materials; (iv) generally known to the public; or (v) lawfully obtained from any third party. In addition, a party will not be considered to have breached its obligations under the Agreement to the extent Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by applicable law, any governmental authority, or court order; provided that, to the extent legally practicable, the receiving party advises the disclosing party prior to making such disclosure in order that the disclosing party may object to such disclosure, take action to ensure confidential treatment of the Confidential Information, or take such other action as it considers appropriate to protect the Confidential Information. You agree that VolunteerMark may use your company name and logo on its website and in marketing materials and video's (including press releases) during the term of this agreement.
To the extent any disputes arise under the Agreement or otherwise between the parties, the parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve their dispute informally. This Agreement is governed by the State of Kansas and you expressly agree to the exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or dispute with VolunteerMark in the federal and state courts within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the Agreement.
To the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and hold VolunteerMark and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives harmless from and against any third party suit, proceeding, assertion against any damages, judgments, liability, costs and expenses (including without limitation any attorneys' fees) incurred arising from your material breach of this Agreement, your unauthorized use or misuse of the VolunteerMark Program or any unauthorized combination of VolunteerMark with any hardware, software, products, data or other materials not specified or provided by VolunteerMark. Your obligation under this Section 11 shall not extend to any third party suit, proceeding, assertion against any damages, judgments, liability, costs and expenses (including without limitation any attorneys' fees) incurred arising from VolunteerMark’s material breach of this Agreement or any claims of copyright, trademark or intellectual property right infringement.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will VolunteerMark be liable for any loss of business profits, charitable donations, business interruption, loss of data or any special, indirect, exemplary, incidental or consequential damages arising from or in relation to this Agreement or the use of the VolunteerMark Program, however caused and regardless of theory of liability.

You may not, without the prior written consent of VolunteerMark, assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, either voluntarily or by operation of law, and any attempt to do so will be a material default of the Agreement and will be void. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the respective parties hereto, their respective successors in interest, legal representatives, heirs and assigns.
If either party is prevented from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement due to any cause beyond the party's reasonable control including, without limitation, an act of God, fire, flood, explosion, terrorism, war, embargo, government regulation, civil or military authority, acts or omissions of carriers, transmitters, providers, or acts of vandals, or hackers. The time for that party's performance will be extended for the period of the delay or failure to perform due to such occurrence, except that you will not be excused from the payment of any sums of money owed by you to VolunteerMark prior to the force majeure event.
This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and does not confer any rights or remedies on any other person or entity.
This Agreement may be changed only by written agreement signed by both VolunteerMark and you. The failure of either party to exercise or enforce any of its rights under the Agreement will not act as a waiver of subsequent breaches and the waiver of any breach will not act as a waiver of subsequent breaches.
If any provision of the Agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law and the other provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
Each party will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances relating to their performance hereunder.
This Agreement will not be construed as creating or constituting a partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between the parties. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other's behalf without the other's prior written consent.
This Agreement will constitute the entire agreement between VolunteerMark and you with respect to the subject matter hereof and all prior oral or written agreements, representations or statements with respect to such subject matter are superseded hereby.
