(a) Developer Indemnification. Developer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless NinthDecimal and its officers, members, managers, directors, employees, agents, and, affiliates (collectively “NinthDecimal Parties”) from and against any and all third party claims, actions, causes of action, lawsuits, damages, liabilities, obligations, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively “Losses”) incurred by, or imposed or asserted against, the NinthDecimal Parties arising out of or relating to (i) the violation of any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property or proprietary right of any third party by the Developer Application or the use thereof; (ii) any slander, libel, or defamation contained on or within the Developer Application; (iii) any failure to follow NinthDecimal’s integration documentation (http://docs.kiip.me/) and Best Practices, (iv) violation of any applicable laws, rules and regulations by the Developer Application; (v) any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of Developer contained in this Agreement or your violation of any rights of a third party; and (vi) Developer’s unauthorized use of the Content, including but not limited to unauthorized use of the Rewards.
(b) Indemnification Procedures. A party’s obligation to indemnify the other party hereunder will be conditioned upon the indemnified party promptly notifying the indemnifying party in writing of any such claim (however, failure of the indemnified party to so promptly notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent the indemnifying party has been damaged thereby), promptly tendering the control of the defense and settlement of any such claim to the indemnifying party (at the indemnifying party’s expense and with the indemnifying party’s choice of counsel), and cooperating fully with the indemnifying party in defending or settling such claim including, but not limited to, providing any information or materials necessary for the indemnifying party to perform the foregoing. The indemnifying party will not enter into any settlement or compromise of any such claim, which settlement or compromise would result in any liability to the indemnified party without the indemnified party’s prior consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
- General Terms.
(a) Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors and no employment, agency, partnership or joint venture is created hereunder.
(b) Notices. Notices shall be sent as follows: For NinthDecimal, Attention: Legal, 150 Post Street, Suite 500, San Francisco, CA 94108; For Developer, to any of its publicly known physical locations of business, or as more specifically specified by Developer in writing, prior to the date of such notice.

When such modification is made, NinthDecimal will post a revised version of the terms and conditions on its corporate website. Modifications will be effective when they are posted, unless stated otherwise.

It is Developer’s responsibility to review the terms and conditions from time to time to be aware of any such modifications. The failure of either party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period will not be construed as a waiver of such rights.
