LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

EXCEPT FOR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS AND AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, (I) IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, OR STRICT LIABILITY), OR FOR INTERRUPTED COMMUNICATIONS, LOSS OF USE, LOST BUSINESS, LOST DATA OR LOST PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT AND (II) MEGA REWARDS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR AN AMOUNT GREATER THAN THE AMOUNTS PAID BY MEGA REWARDS TO PUBLISHER DURING THE SIX MONTHS PRIOR TO THE OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Indemnification.

15.1. Each Party agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold the other Party and its officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, subsidiaries, and affiliates harmless from and against any and all third-party claims, actions, liabilities (including all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees) arising from or relating to any breach of any of its obligations, representations, or warranties under the Agreement.

15.2. The Party seeking indemnification ("Indemnified Party") shall promptly notify the other Party ("Indemnifying Party") in writing of all such claims and shall accommodate the Indemnifying Party's reasonable requests for cooperation and information. Indemnifying Party shall have sole control over the defense and any settlement of such claims; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any settlement that could adversely affect the rights or interest of the Indemnified Party without their express written consent. Once the Indemnifying Party tenders defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense and/or retain separate counsel at its own expense. The foregoing indemnity obligations may not apply in the event, and to the extent, that such claim is based on any action or omission of the Indemnified Party.

Dispute Resolution.

16.1. If any dispute arises under the Agreement, the Parties agree to first try to resolve the dispute with the help of a mutually agreed upon mediator in the following location: State of New York, New York County. Any costs and fees other than attorneys' fees associated with the mediation shall be shared equally by the Parties. If it proves impossible to arrive at a mutually satisfactory solution through mediation, the Parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration in the State of New York, New York County. The Parties agree that the binding arbitration will be conducted under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. If any litigation or arbitration is absolutely necessary to enforce the Agreement or the terms thereof, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to reimbursement by the other Party for reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses. The Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
