Exhibit A

LN Subscription Agreement

 

The undersigned organization (“Subscriber”) has entered into an agreement with Vertical IQ, Inc. (“Company”) for access to Vertical IQ’s portal (“Vertical IQ Portal”). In connection therewith, Subscriber agrees that all access to and use of content made available by LexisNexis, a division of RELX Inc. (“LexisNexis”), through (or in connection with) the Vertical IQ Portal shall be provided for media monitoring and evaluation purposes only and is subject to the terms and conditions provided in the General Terms and Conditions for Use of the LexisNexis Services (and updates thereof) available online at www.lexisnexis.com/terms/general (the “General Terms”). Subscriber further agrees that the General Terms constitute and form a separate binding agreement between LexisNexis and Subscriber and that LexisNexis has the right to assert and enforce this Agreement, including the General Terms, directly on its own behalf. LexisNexis’ consent to the terms of this Agreement shall be evidenced by providing Subscriber with the means to access LexisNexis content.

LexisNexis expressly disclaims any and all liability with regard to Subscriber’s access to and use of any materials retrieved from third party websites (“Web Materials”) by and through the Vertical IQ Portal. LexisNexis has not entered into a licensing agreement or linking agreement with the owners of the websites that provide Web Materials and makes no representation that it has the right to sublicense access to the Web Materials to Subscriber. Subscriber’s use of the Web Materials including any distribution or redistribution thereof is solely at its own risk. Subscriber will indemnify and hold LexisNexis and its affiliates and its and their employees, officers, and directors (the “Covered Parties”) harmless from any loss or damage suffered by the Covered Parties as a result of a third party claim brought against the Covered Parties as a result of Subscriber’s use of Web Materials.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the General Terms, to the fullest extent permissible by applicable law, under no circumstances will the aggregate liability of Subscriber in connection with any claim arising out of or relating to the online services or materials or the General Terms exceed the Covered Party’s (as defined in the General Terms) actual direct damages. A Covered Party’s right to monetary damages in that amount shall be in lieu of all other remedies which you may have against Subscriber. The foregoing limitation of liability shall not apply to Subscriber’s indemnity obligations for infringement of intellectual property or misappropriation of proprietary data belonging to LexisNexis or its third party suppliers.

LexisNexis and Company are independent entities and neither is acting on behalf of, or has any right to bind, the other for any purpose or in any way. LexisNexis shall not be responsible for any actions, operations or business of Company, including, without limitation, errors or omissions that may be introduced into LexisNexis Licensed Content by Company. Subscriber agrees that it will not make any claim or take any action against LexisNexis for or in connection with the actions, activities, negligence, operations or business of Company.
