Support shall be provided in accordance with, and Licensee hereby acknowledges and accepts, the Support policies and procedures, which are available for review on the JunkBlocker website at http://www.junkblocker.com, and which are subject to change from time to time without notice.

13. INDEMNITY. JunkBlocker will indemnify, defend and hold Licensee harmless from damages, settlements, attorneys' fees and expenses resulting from a third party claim that the Service infringes any patent, trademark, or copyright arising under the laws of the United States, provided JunkBlocker is promptly notified of any and all threats, claims and proceedings related thereto and given reasonable assistance and the opportunity to assume sole control over defense and settlement; JunkBlocker will not be responsible for any settlement it does not approve in writing. Should the Service become, or be likely to become, in JunkBlocker's opinion, the subject of a claim of intellectual property infringement, JunkBlocker may, at its option, procure for Licensee the right to continue using the Service, or replace or modify it to make it non-infringing as soon as commercially reasonable. In addition, JunkBlocker may request that Licensee immediately stop all copying, distribution, marketing and other use of the potentially infringing Service.

Licensee will indemnify JunkBlocker for all damages, settlements, attorneys' fees and expenses resulting from any claim of infringement or misappropriation not covered by JunkBlocker's indemnity obligation.

14. CONFIDENTIALITY. Both parties may, in connection with this Agreement, disclose to the other party Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, information related to past, present or future research, development or business affairs, any proprietary products, materials or methodologies, or any other information that provides the disclosing party with a competitive advantage. Confidential Information, if disclosed or provided in tangible form, shall be clearly and conspicuously identified as confidential or proprietary, and if orally or visually disclosed, shall be identified as confidential or proprietary in nature at the time of disclosure. The receiving party shall protect the disclosing party's Confidential Information with the same degree of care that it regularly uses to protect its own Confidential Information from unauthorized use or disclosure, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Confidential Information shall not be provided or disclosed to anyone except those employees or contractors of the receiving party with a need to know under this Agreement. No rights or licenses under patents, trademarks or copyrights are granted or implied by any disclosure of Confidential Information. Confidential Information and any and all authorized copies thereof shall remain the property of the disclosing party and shall be destroyed or returned if requested by the disclosing party.

IN NO EVENT SHALL JUNKBLOCKER LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY LEGAL THEORY. JUNKBLOCKER'S LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE FEES PAID BY LICENSEE HEREUNDER. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY EVEN IF JUNKBLOCKER SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO LICENSEE.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.
