      3. DemetraMedia shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation attorneys’ fees), in any action or proceeding in connection with, arising out of, or under the Terms.
      4. Any claim under the Terms, other than for indemnity and defense must be filed within one (1) year of the time such claim arose, regardless of any law to the contrary, otherwise such claim will be forever barred.
      5. To the extent permitted by law, the Affiliate agrees that the Affiliate will not bring, join or participate in any class action lawsuit on any claim, dispute or controversy that the Affiliate may have against DemetraMedia and its employees, officers, directors, members, representatives and assigns. The Affiliate agrees to the entry of injunctive relief to stop such a lawsuit or to remove the Affiliate as a participant. The Affiliate agrees to pay the attorney’s fees and court costs that DemetraMedia incurs in seeking such relief.
      1. Status of the Parties. DemetraMedia and the Affiliate are independent contractors. The Terms shall not be construed to create any employment, partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise or sales representative relationship between the parties. The Affiliate shall have no authority to bind DemetraMedia into any agreement, nor shall the Affiliate be an agent of DemetraMedia.
      2. Force Majeure. The Affiliate agrees that DemetraMedia will not be liable, or be in breach of the Terms, for DemetraMedia’s delay or failure to perform as required under the terms as a result of any causes or conditions beyond DemetraMedia’s reasonable control which DemetraMedia cannot overcome through exercising commercially reasonable diligence («Force Majeure Event»). If any such Force Majeure Event occurs including, without limitation, acts of God, fires, explosions, telecommunications, Internet or network failure, results of vandalism or computer hacking, storm or other natural occurrences, national emergencies, acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, wars, strikes or other labor difficulties or any act or omission of any other person or entity, DemetraMedia will give the Affiliate notice and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the impact of any such event.
      3. The Affiliate may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under the Terms without the prior written consent of DemetraMedia, and any attempts to do so shall be null and void. DemetraMedia may transfer or assign any and all of its rights and obligations under these Terms to any other person, by any way, including by novation, and by accepting these Terms the Affiliate gives DemetraMedia consent to any such assignment and transfer. The Affiliate confirms that placing at the Network of a version of these Terms indicating another person as a party to the Terms shall constitute valid notice to the Affiliate of the transfer of DemetraMedia’s rights and obligations under the Terms (unless otherwise is expressly indicated). Subject to the foregoing limitations, the Terms will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties, their successors, administrators, heirs, and permitted assigns.
      4. Entire Agreement. The Terms represent the complete and entire expression of the agreement between the parties, and shall supersede all other agreements, whether written or verbal, between the parties with respect to the subject matter addressed herein.
      5. Non-Waiver. No waiver of any breach of any provision of the Terms shall constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent or subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
      6. If any provision in the Terms is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under any law, then such provision will be severed and replaced with a new provision that most closely reflects the real intention of the parties, and the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full force and effect.
      7. Audit Rights. The Affiliate shall maintain true and correct books containing a record of all information pertinent to its participation in the Network during the term of the Terms and for any statute of limitations period. DemetraMedia or its agent may review, at DemetraMedia’s expense, during regular business hours and upon not less than five (5) days’ written notice, such relevant books and records to verify Affiliate’s compliance with the Terms and all laws, rules, and regulations. Any such review will be made not more than twice in each calendar year during the term of the Terms unless a prior audit has disclosed a breach of the Terms or violation of any Laws. If DemetraMedia discovers any breach of the Terms or violation of any Laws, then the audit shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Affiliate.
      8. DATA PROTECTION ADDENDUM
      9. This Data Processing Addendum («Addendum») sets out the terms that apply as between DemetraMedia and the Affiliate when processing European Economic Area («EEA») personal data in connection with the Network. This Addendum forms part of the Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Addendum shall have the meanings given to them in the Terms unless otherwise defined in this Addendum.
      10. Definitions: (a) «controller,» «processor,» «data subject,» and «processing» (and «process») shall have the meanings given to them in Applicable Data Protection Law; (b) «Applicable Data Protection Law» means any and all applicable privacy and data protection laws and regulations applicable to the Personal Data in question, including, where applicable, EU Data Protection Law (in each case, as may be amended, superseded or replaced from time to time); (c) «EU Data Protection Law» means: (i) the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679) («GDPR»); and (ii) the EU e-Privacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC); and (iii) any national data protection laws made under or pursuant to clause (i) or (ii); and (d) «Personal Data» means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person to the extent that such information is protected as personal data under Applicable Data Protection Law.
      11. Purposes of processing. The parties acknowledge that in connection with the Network, each party may provide or make available to the other party Personal Data. Each party shall process such data: (i) for the purposes described in the Terms; and/or (ii) as may otherwise be permitted under Applicable Data Protection Law.
      12. Relationship of the parties. Each party will process the copy of the Personal Data in its possession or control as an independent controller or processor (not as a joint controller or processor with the other party).
      13. Compliance with law. Each party shall separately comply with its obligations under Applicable Data Protection Law and this Addendum when processing Personal Data. Neither party shall be responsible for the other party’s compliance with Applicable Data Protection Law. In particular, each party shall be individually responsible for ensuring that its processing of the Personal Data is lawful, fair and transparent, and shall make available to data subjects a privacy statement that fulfils the requirements of Applicable Data Protection Law.
      14. International transfers. Where Applicable Data Protection Law in the EEA, and/or its member states, United Kingdom and/or Switzerland (collectively for the purposes of this Addendum, the «EU’), applies to the Personal Data («EU Personal Data»), neither party shall process any EU Personal Data (nor permit any EU Personal Data to be processed) in a territory outside of the EU unless it has taken such measures as are necessary to ensure the transfer is in compliance with Applicable Data Protection Law. To the extent the Affiliate transfers EU Personal Data to DemetraMedia and DemetraMedia is located in a territory outside the EU that does not provide adequate protection for Personal Data (as determined by Applicable Data Protection Law), DemetraMedia agrees to abide by and process such EU Personal Data in accordance with the Standard Contractual Clauses for Controllers as approved by the European Commission and available at http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32004D0915 (as amended, superseded or updated from time to time) («Model Clauses»), which are incorporated by reference in, and form an integral part of, this Addendum. DemetraMedia agrees that it is a «data importer» and the Affiliate is the «data exporter» under the Model Clauses.
      15. Each party shall implement and maintain all appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect any copies of the Personal Data in their possession or control from (i) accidental or unlawful destruction, and (ii) loss, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure or access (a «Security Incident») and to preserve the security and confidentiality of such Personal Data. Each party shall notify the other party without undue delay on becoming aware of any breach of EU Data Protection Law/Applicable Data Protection Law.
