          status and supplying an “E” number certify that they are tax exempt under

          §501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and shall indemnify Damien for

      any damages suffered by Subscriber including from loss of data, delay,

      non-delivery or mis-delivery of content, errors, down-time or any other

      interruptions, regardless of cause. Damien’s total liability to Subscriber for all

      claims of any kind, regardless of legal theory, will not exceed the subscription

      fee identified in Section A.

      E. Indemnification

      Subscriber will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Damien, its directors,

      officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims

      (including attorney’s fees and expenses) resulting from or arising out of its

          to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts for purposes of such action

          and waives any objections to such jurisdiction or venue.

          caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control. 

      6. Remedies Cumulative/Waiver. The rights, powers and remedies in this

          Agreement or otherwise existing will be cumulative and a party’s exercise

          or failure to exercise any of such rights, powers, or remedies will not

          preclude their subsequent exercise by such party. Neither party will be

          deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement because of any

          contrary custom or practice of the parties.
