13.3 Exceptions
The limitations set forth in Section 13.1 and 13.2 do not apply to Reonomy’s (i) willful misconduct or gross negligence, or (ii) liability or loss which may not be limited by applicable law.
13.4 General
Each party agrees that these exclusions and limitations shall apply even if this Agreement or any limited remedy specified herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. These limitations are integral to the calculation of fees in connection with the license of the Reonomy Services, and were Reonomy to assume any further liability, such consideration would out of necessity have been substantially increased.
14. Communications consent
Customer agrees that Reonomy may contact Customer via email, telephone or text messages using the contact information provided by you or on your behalf in connection with your use of the Reonomy Services, including for marketing purposes. Customer also understand that you may opt out of receiving such marketing communications from Reonomy at any time by contacting support@reonomy.com. If Customer do not choose to opt out, Reonomy may contact you as described herein.
15. General
15.1 Remedies
Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Reonomy Services have been developed at significant cost and have significant commercial value to Reonomy, and that Reonomy may suffer irreparable harm as a result of any breach of this Agreement for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, in addition to all other remedies available at law or otherwise (which Reonomy does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Reonomy will be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach, and Customer hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or the showing of actual monetary damages in connection with such claim.
15.2 Publicity
Except for Reonomy’s reference to Customer as one of its customers and use Customer’s logo as part of such reference, neither party shall use the other party’s (or its Affiliate’s) name, marks, or any other proprietary identifying symbols, or issue any press release
15.3. Modifications to this agreement
Reonomy may modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement (which may include changes to Reonomy Services pricing and plans) from time to time with notice to Customer in accordance with Section 8.2 (Term of Order Forms), this Section 15.3, and Section 15.4 (Notices).
a) Free Trial. If Customer has a Free Trial, any modifications will become effective immediately, and if Customer objects to the modifications, its exclusive remedy is to terminate this Agreement and cease using the Reonomy Services.
b) Paid Subscription. Unless a shorter period is specified by Reonomy (e.g., due to changes in the law or exigent circumstances), the modifications become effective upon renewal of Customer’s current Term or entry into a new Order Form.

Any assignment made in violation with this Section 15.5 shall be void, and this Agreement shall benefit and bind the permitted successors and assigns of the parties.
15.6 Third party beneficiaries
Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any person or entity (other than the parties hereto) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that Company’s licensors, including CoreLogic Solutions, LLC, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., and Infogroup Inc., shall be third party beneficiaries of, and entitled to enforce the provisions hereof as if it were a party hereto.
15.7 Relationship of parties
Reonomy and Customer’s relationship is solely that of independent contractors, and this Agreement will not establish any partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency between Reonomy and Customer. Neither Reonomy nor Customer will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other’s behalf without the other’s prior written consent.
15.8 Export control
Customer understands and acknowledges that the Reonomy Services are subject to regulation by agencies of the United States, including, but not limited to, the U.S. Department of Commerce, which prohibit export or diversion of certain products and technology to certain countries. Any and all obligations of Reonomy to provide the Reonomy Services shall be subject in all respects to such laws and regulations as shall from time to time govern the license and delivery of technology and products abroad by persons subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, including without limitation the U.S. Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, any successor legislation, and the Export Administration Regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Export Administration. Customer represents and warrants that Customer will comply with the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and other laws and regulations governing exports in effect from time to time.
15.9 U.S. Government restricted rights
If a Reonomy Service is licensed to the United States government or any agency thereof, then such Reonomy Service 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 a Reonomy Service and any accompanying Documentation by the U.S. Government will be governed solely by this Agreement and is prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement.
15.10 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Arbitration
a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflict of laws rules. The United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods is excluded in its entirety from this Agreement.
b) Dispute Resolution. Customer agrees that in the event of any dispute, controversy or claim (each, a “Claim”) between Customer and Reonomy, Customer will first contact Reonomy and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation any court action.
c) Arbitration Agreement.
i) After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining Claims relating in any way to Customer’s use of the Reonomy Services, or relating in any way to the communications between Customer and Reonomy or any other user of the Reonomy Services, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration. This mandatory arbitration agreement applies equally to Customer and Reonomy. However, this arbitration agreement does not (a) govern any Claim by Reonomy for infringement of its Intellectual Property Rights or use of or access to a Reonomy Service that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in this Agreement or (b) bar Customer from making use of applicable small claims court procedures in appropriate cases. If Customer is an individual, Customer may opt out of this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of the date on which Customer first accesses or uses a Reonomy Service by following the procedure described below.
ii) Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration. Instead, the Claim is resolved by a neutral arbitrator. Court review of an arbitration award is limited. Except to the extent the parties agree otherwise, arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Customer agrees that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that Customer and Reonomy are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision will survive any termination of this Agreement.
iii) If Customer wishes to begin an arbitration proceeding, after following the informal dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 15.9(b), Customer must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing its claim 6 E 32nd Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10016. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules including, if Customer is an individual, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. If Customer has accessed or used the Reonomy Services on behalf of an entity, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will be used. The AAA’s rules are available at http://www.adr.org/rules or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
iv) The number of arbitrators will be one; provided such arbitrator has at least ten years’ experience in commercial litigation in the software industry. Customer may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county of residence or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. New York law will apply. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
v) Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. If Customer is an individual and has not accessed or used the Reonomy Services on behalf of an entity, Reonomy will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, and Reonomy will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
vi) The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any Claim relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence will not apply to Section 15.9(d) (Class Action Waiver) below.
vii) If Customer does not want to arbitrate Claims with Reonomy and Customer is an individual, Customer may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to legal@reonomy.com within thirty (30) days of the date on which Customer first accesses or uses a Reonomy Service.
d) Class Action Waiver
i) Any Claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. If the Claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
ii) If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement, if otherwise effective, will be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, Customer and Reonomy each waive any right to a jury trial.
15.11 Waiver
Any waiver of the provisions of this Agreement or of a party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement must be in writing to be effective. Failure, neglect, or delay by a party to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or its rights or remedies at any time, will not be construed and will not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s rights under this Agreement and will not in any way affect the validity of the whole or any part of this Agreement or prejudice such party’s right to take subsequent action. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, no exercise or enforcement by either party of any right or remedy under this Agreement will preclude the enforcement by such party of any other right or remedy under this Agreement or that such party is entitled by law to enforce.
15.12 Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, unenforceable, or void by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and such holding will not affect the remaining terms. The invalid, unenforceable, or void provision will be deemed amended or replaced by a valid, legal, and enforceable provision that matches the intent of the original language as closely as possible.
15.13 Force Majeure
Except for payment obligations, neither party shall be in default if its failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement is caused by supervening conditions beyond that party’s reasonable control, including acts of God, civil commotion, war, strikes, labor disputes, third-party Internet service interruptions or slowdowns, vandalism or “hacker” attacks, acts of terrorism or governmental demands or requirements.
15.14 Entire Agreement
Conflicting Terms. This Agreement, together with any Order Form, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the following documents, the order of precedence shall be: (1) the applicable Order Form, and (2) this Agreement. The parties agree that any term or condition stated in any Customer purchase order or in any other of Customer’s order documentation (excluding Order Forms) is null and void.
