Capitol Canary will promptly restore access to the Services as soon as the event giving rise to suspension has been resolved, to the extent applicable. Capitol Canary may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect in the event that Capitol Canary suspends service for the reasons set forth in items (i)-(iii).

13.4. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof. Capitol Canary may amend this Agreement from time to time. No other agreements, representations, or warranties, written, oral or otherwise, have been made by either party to the other with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, except as referenced herein. For the avoidance of doubt, no oral or written information or advice given by Capitol Canary or its will create any other warranties or in any way increase the scope of Capitol Canary’s obligations hereunder.

13.5. Governing Law, Venue, and Limitation of Actions. This Agreement will be construed according to, and the rights of the parties will be governed by, the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to its conflict of laws rules. The parties agree that all actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement shall be tried and litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts (if permitted by law and a party elects to file an action in federal court) located in the State of Delaware. This choice of venue is intended by the parties to be mandatory and not permissive in nature, and to preclude the possibility of litigation between the parties with respect to, or arising out of, this Agreement in any jurisdiction other than that specified in this Section 13.5 (Governing Law, Venue, and Limitation of Actions). Each party waives any right it may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or similar doctrine or theory or to object to venue with respect to any proceeding brought in accordance with this Section 13.5 (Governing Law, Venue, and Limitation of Actions). No action, regardless of form, arising out of this Agreement, may be brought by either party more than one (1) year after the cause of action has arisen. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

13.6. Relationship of the Parties. The parties agree that Capitol Canary will perform its duties under this Agreement as an independent contractor. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to establish a partnership, joint venture, association, or employment relationship between the parties. Personnel employed or retained by Capitol Canary who perform duties related to this Agreement will remain under the supervision, management, and control of Capitol Canary. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

13.7. Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are found or deemed by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, they will be severable from the remainder of this Agreement and will not cause the invalidity or unenforceability of the remainder of this Agreement.

13.8. Waiver. Neither party will by mere lapse of time without giving notice or taking other action hereunder be deemed to have waived any breach by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Further, the waiver by either party of a particular breach of this Agreement by the other party will not be construed as, or constitute, a continuing waiver of such breach, or of other breaches of the same or other provisions of this Agreement.

13.9. Survival. The following Sections will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement: Sections 3.3(ii)-(iii) (Restrictions), 5 (Intellectual Property), 8.3 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 9.1 (Capitol Canary Indemnity) (for claims accruing prior to termination), 9.2 (Client Indemnity) (for claims accruing prior to termination), 10 (Confidentiality), 11 (Limitation of Liability), 12 (Termination), and 13 (General Provisions).

Any written notice or demand required by this Agreement will be sent by electric mail, registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), personal delivery, overnight commercial carrier, or other guaranteed delivery to the other party at the address set forth in the applicable Sales Order. The notice will be effective as of the date of delivery if the notice is sent by personal delivery, overnight commercial courier or other guaranteed delivery, as of five (5) calendar days after the date of posting if the notice is transmitted by registered or certified mail. Any party may change the address at which it receives notices by giving written notice to the other party in the manner prescribed by this Section.

13.11. Purchase of Information Restrictions. To the extent that Client subscribes to certain Services that require payment for collection of publicly available information, it is specifically agreed that Capitol Canary is not charging Client for any information displayed on the public page of the Capitol Canary Platform and also is not, in accordance with various state laws, charging Client for collection and/or aggregation of publicly available data from the following states: Colorado, C., Illinois, Kansas, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Missouri, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming as those states may prohibit the republication of data for profit. Client understands and agrees that Capitol Canary may be required to remove or restrict access to certain data from the Services as a result of this Section and Client agrees that such removal shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement.

13.12. Campaign Finance Data. To the extent that Client uses certain Services that utilize publicly-reported campaign finance data (“Campaign Finance Data”), the Federal Election Campaign Act and multiple state laws may govern and affect Client’s use of such information. Capitol Canary does not endorse any particular method of data use or analysis. By using Campaign Finance Data made available by the Services Client agrees, in addition to its compliance with Applicable Law requirements, to abide by the following relevant constitutional and statutory use regulations and limitations: 2 U.S.C. § 438(a)(4); Ala.
