b. In addition to the indemnity provided in section 8.1(a)(i), if any part of the Platform becomes or, in Pogo's opinion, is likely to become the subject of any injunction preventing its use as contemplated herein, Pogo may, at its option (a) obtain for Customer the right to continue using the Platform or (b) replace or modify the Platform so that use of the Platform becomes non-infringing without considerably compromising its principal functions. If (a) and (b) are not reasonably available to Pogo, then Pogo may terminate these Terms upon written notice to Customer, and shall refund Customer a pro-rata portion of all Fees prepaid for services not performed after the effective date of termination.

10. TERM AND TERMINATION

10.1 Term. These Terms commence as of the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated, will continue as long as your account on the Platform is active.

10.2 Termination. These Terms may be earlier terminated by either party (a) if the other party materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from the non-breaching party, or (b) immediately upon written notice, if the other party makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or a receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, or similar officer is appointed to take charge of any or all of the other party's property, or the other party seeks protection under any bankruptcy, receivership, trust deed, creditors arrangement, composition, or comparable proceeding, or such proceeding is instituted against the other party and is not dismissed within ninety (90) days, or the other party becomes insolvent or, without a successor, dissolves, liquidates, or otherwise fails to operate in the ordinary course.

10.3 Effects of Termination. Upon any expiration or termination of these Terms, all corresponding rights, obligations, and licenses of the parties shall cease, except that the provisions of Sections 4 (Proprietary Rights), 5 (Confidentiality), 6.1 (Fees), 6.2. (Taxes), 7 (Limited Warranty and Disclaimers), 8 (Indemnification), 9 (Limitation of Liability), 11 (General Provisions) and this Section 10.3 (Effects of Termination) shall survive.

11. GENERAL PROVISIONS

11.1 Compliance with the Law. Each party represents that it will comply with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to its provision or receipt of the Service(s).

11.2 Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior negotiations, understandings, or agreements (oral or written) between the parties regarding the subject matter of these Terms (and all past dealing or industry custom).

11.3 Modification and Waiver. No change, consent, or waiver under these Terms are binding on either party unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of both parties. The failure of either party to enforce its rights under these Terms is not a waiver of such rights, and the exercise of one right or remedy is not a waiver of any other right or remedy.

11.4 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain fully enforceable.

11.5 Governing Law. These Terms are governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York and the United States without regard to conflicts of law provisions. Exclusive jurisdiction and venue for actions related to these Terms is the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York, and both parties consent to the jurisdiction of such courts with respect to any such actions.

11.6 Remedies. Each right and remedy in these Terms is in addition to any other right or remedy, at law or in equity. In the event of any breach or threatened breach of Sections 4 or 5, the non-breaching party will suffer irreparable damage for which it will have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the non-breaching party will be entitled to injunctive and other equitable remedies to prevent or restrain such breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of posting any bond.

11.7 Subcontractors. Pogo may subcontract all or part of the services provided by Pogo and shall be responsible for any acts or omissions of its subcontractor(s).

11.8 Notices. All notices under these Terms shall be in writing, in English, and delivered to privacy@joinsift.co. Additional notice may be provided to the parties at their respective addresses designated by the parties in writing. Notices are deemed duly given: (i) when received, if personally delivered, including via courier; (ii) when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or email; (iii) the day after being sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service; or (iv) upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

11.9 Force Majeure. If either party is prevented from performing, or is unable to perform, any of its obligations under these Terms (except payment obligations) due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, the affected party must use commercially reasonable efforts to give written notice thereof to the other party and its performance will be extended for the period of delay or inability to perform due to such occurrence.

11.10 Assignment. These Terms may not be assigned, in whole or in part, by either party without the other party's written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. However, without consent, either party may assign these Terms to any wholly owned subsidiary, affiliate, or successor to all or substantially all its business. These Terms are binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.

11.11 International Users. The Platform can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to services and content that are not available in your country. These references do not imply that Pogo intends to announce such services or content in your country. The Service is controlled and offered by Pogo from its facilities in the United States of America. Pogo makes no representations that the Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Service from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.
