Except with regard to payment of fees and violation of Intellectual Property Rights, a party forfeits its right to damages (as well as off set), price reduction and other compensation if the party fails to forward such claim for damages to the other party within three (3) months after the party discovered (or reasonably should have discovered) the cause for the claim.  

Indemnification 

Intellectual Property Rights Indemnity – to the extent permitted by law, Comprend shall have no liability to Customer regarding any action or claim alleging intellectual property infringement based upon any conduct involving (i) the use of the Comprend Service in combination with other devices or software not supplied by Comprend (including without limitation any application software produced by Customer) or (ii) the alteration, modification or customization of the Comprend Service by any person other than Comprend, or by Comprend based on Customer’ specifications or otherwise at Customer’s direction or (iii) any failure to install an update to the Comprend Service provided by Comprend. 

In the event of an intellectual property infringement action or claim against Comprend which is based on any conduct described in the preceding section, Customer shall at its own expense defend such action or claim, and Customer shall pay any and all damages and costs finally awarded against Comprend in connection with such action or claim, provided that Comprend notifies Customer promptly in writing of such action or claim, Comprend gives Customer sole control of the defence thereof (and any negotiations for settlement or compromise thereof), and Comprend cooperates in the defence thereof at Customer’s expense. 

Personal Data and Warranties Indemnity -  Customer shall indemnify Comprend from and against claims from third parties based on (i) Customer’s failure to obtain consents for Comprend’s processing of Personal Data and (ii) failure to fulfil obligations and the Customer’s warranties. 

Force Majeure 

Any failure or delay by Comprend in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed a breach of contract if such failure or delay is caused by fire, flood, earthquake, scarcity in electricity, cyberattacks, elements of nature, public utility electrical failure, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions, strikes, lockouts, or labour difficulties, court order, authority decisions, power outage, delays or disruptions of the Internet or telecommunications networks including city fibre networks, national and international access points that connect internet service providers, third party non-performance, non-standardized methods, material, or any other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of Comprend. Comprend does not accept any liability for the consequences arising out of any such force majeure events. 

Miscellaneous  

This Agreement with any appendices constitute the entire agreement between the Parties and shall supersede all prior written or oral agreements between the Parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. 

You may not transfer or assign any rights or obligations and licenses granted under this Agreement without Comprend’s prior written consent. Comprend may, however, assign and transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, including relating to any Personal Data, at any time in connection with the sale (whether by merger, equity sale or otherwise) of (i) Comprend, (ii) the Comprend Services or (iii) a portion of Comprend or the Comprend Services that would reasonably require the acquirer of said portion to be assigned such rights in order for the Customer to continue to receive the Comprend Services. Any change of control transaction is deemed an assignment hereunder. If such a sale would entail the assignment of any Personal Data, Comprend shall undertake to receive the Customer’s prior consent to such transfer. 

Unless otherwise agreed, any amendment or modification to this Agreement or any of the appendices must in order to be binding for the Parties be in writing and signed by both Parties. 

If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or applications and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable. 

Applicable law and dispute resolution 

The Agreement shall be governed by the substantive laws of Sweden, without reference to the choice of law and conflict of law provisions thereof. 

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this contract, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the Rules for Expedited Arbitrations of the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce. 

The place of arbitration shall be Stockholm, Sweden and the language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English, or Swedish (as agreed by the Parties). 

Any and all information disclosed during or otherwise in connection with the arbitration procedure including the content of the award constitutes confidential information.
