PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION.

7. INDEMNIFICATION. Each party will indemnify and hold harmless the other party and its successors and their respective affiliates, officers, directors and employees against and from all third party claims, actions, demands, damages, liability and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) (together, “Claims”) arising out of or in connection with the indemnifying party's breach or alleged breach of Sections 3.E or 7 of this Agreement. The indemnifying party's obligations are conditioned upon the indemnified party: (i) giving the indemnifying party prompt written notice of any Claim for which the indemnified party is seeking indemnity; provided however, the failure to give timely notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this section except to the extent that such untimely notice materially impairs the ability of the indemnifying party to defend; (ii) granting complete control of the defense and settlement to the indemnifying party; provided however, the indemnified party may participate with counsel of its choosing at its own expense; and (iii) reasonably cooperating with the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party’s expense, in defense and settlement of such Claim. The indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect to which indemnified party is or could be indemnified hereunder unless such settlement either (a) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability on all Claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding or (b) is consented to in writing by the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
8. ARBITRATION. In the unlikely event that KBWD has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally, both parties each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims by KBWD for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, "Actions"), by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in Minneapolis, Minnesota under the commercial rules then in effect for the AAA, except as provided herein. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 13 shall be deemed as preventing KBWD from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to protect any of KBWD' Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary interests. ALL ACTIONS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND KBWD ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
9. GENERAL
A. Assignment. This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by KBWD without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.
B. Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement creates any partnership, joint venture or agency relationship. As between each other, each party is fully responsible for all persons and entities it employs or retains.
C. Governing Law. You agree that: (i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in Minnesota; and (ii) the Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over KBWD, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Minnesota. This Agreement shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Minnesota, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Hennepin County, Minnesota or the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota located in Hennepin County, for any actions for which KBWD retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of any Intellectual Property Rights of KBWD as set forth in Section 13 (Arbitration).
D. Notices. All notices from you to KBWD must be given in writing and sent by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested), by hand or messenger delivery, by overnight delivery service, by facsimile with receipt confirmed, provided on the Service. Any notice or report delivered in accordance with this Section will be deemed given on the date actually delivered; provided that any notice or report deemed given or due on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday will be deemed given or due on the next business day. KBWD may provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous posting of such notice on the Klimekbroswelldrilling.com website, as determined by KBWD in its sole discretion. KBWD reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to its Users. KBWD is not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to email notifications that KBWD may send to the email address you provide to KBWD. It is recommended that you add *@Klimekbroswelldrilling.com to your email address book to help ensure you receive email notifications from KBWD.
E. No Waiver. No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and failure of KBWD to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
F. Entire Agreement/Severability. This Agreement, the KBWD Privacy Policy, and any additional agreements you may enter into with KBWD in connection with the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and KBWD concerning the Service. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
