You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Gupshup and its subsidiaries, agents, licensors, managers, and other affiliated companies, and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney's fees) arising from or related to: (i) your use of and access to the Gupshup Content (including the APIs) or Gupshup Platform, including any data or content transmitted or received by you; (ii) your violation or alleged violation of any term of these Terms, including without limitation your breach of any of the representations and warranties above; (iii) any violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any right of privacy or intellectual property rights, by you, your Customer Data, Device, or Application, or any use thereof; (iv) your violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation; (v) any of your Customer Data or any that is transmitted via your account; (vi) any personal injury or property damage arising from or relating to your use of the Gupshup Content or Gupshup Platform or any authorized or unauthorized use of your Device or Application; or (vii) any other party's access and use of the Gupshup Content or Gupshup Platform with your unique username, password or other appropriate security code.

Confidential Information.

Our communications to you may contain Gupshup confidential information. If you receive any materials or communications that are clearly confidential or marked confidential, then you will not disclose the Gupshup confidential information to any third party without Gupshup's prior written consent.

Notifications and Modification.

Gupshup may provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through posting of such notice on our website, as determined by Gupshup in our sole discretion. Gupshup reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to our users.

Governing Law.

These Terms shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in USA, California for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that USA, California is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.

Arbitration

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM GUPSHUP. For any dispute with Gupshup, you agree to first contact us at legal@gupshup.io and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Gupshup has not been able to resolve a dispute after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, "Claims"), shall be referred to a sole Arbitrator as appointed by Gupshup in accordance with Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 or any statutory modifications or re-enactment thereof for the time being in force. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The venue of such arbitration shall be at Mumbai and the award of the Arbitrator shall be binding on both the parties. If you are using the Gupshup Content or Gupshup Platform for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any Arbitration filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Gupshup Content or Gupshup Platform for non-commercial purposes: (i) Gupshup may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from Gupshup; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney's fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Gupshup from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights.

Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver.

WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE GUPSHUP CONTENT OR GUPSHUP PLATFORM FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND GUPSHUP ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.

General Legal Terms.

These Terms control the relationship between Gupshup and you. They do not create any third party beneficiary rights. If the Gupshup Content or Gupshup Platform is licensed to the United States government or any agency thereof, then the Gupshup Content and Gupshup Platform will be deemed to be "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation," respectively, pursuant to DFARS Section 227.7202 and FAR Section 12.212, as applicable.

Any use, reproduction, release, performance, display or disclosure of the Gupshup Content or Gupshup Platform and any accompanying documentation by the U.S. Government will be governed solely by the terms and conditions of these Terms and is prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by the terms and conditions of these Terms. The Gupshup Content and Gupshup Platform originate in the United States, and are subject to United States export laws and regulations. The Gupshup Content and Gupshup Platform may not be exported or re-exported to certain countries or those persons or entities prohibited from receiving exports from the United States. In addition, the Gupshup Content and Gupshup Platform may be subject to the import and export laws of other countries. You agree to comply with all United States and foreign laws related to use of the Gupshup Content and the Gupshup Platform.

No waiver of any term of these Terms shall constitute a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Gupshup failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

These Terms and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Gupshup without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.

These Terms, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with Gupshup in connection with the Gupshup Content or Gupshup Platform, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Gupshup concerning the Gupshup Content and Gupshup Platform.

If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect, except that in the event of unenforceability of the universal Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver, the entire arbitration agreement shall be unenforceable.
