In the event that any action, suit, or other legal or administrative proceeding is instituted or commenced by either party hereto against the other party arising out of or related to the Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs from the non-prevailing party.
    15.8 Non-Solicitation. During the term of the Agreement, and for a period of two (2) years following the expiration or termination of the Agreement, Customer shall not, without the prior written consent of CORL, directly or indirectly employ, solicit, engage or retain the services of any employee or independent contractor of CORL with whom it had direct and substantive contact in the course of the performance of the parties’ obligations pursuant to the Agreement. If the Customer breaches its obligations under Section 15.8, Customer shall be required to pay CORL one-hundred percent (100%) of the annualized salary for each affected employee or independent contractor (the “Liquidated Damages”). The parties intend that the Liquidated Damages constitute compensation, and not a penalty. The parties acknowledge and agree that CORL’s harm caused by breach of this Section 15.8 would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate as of the Effective Date, and that the Liquidated Damages are a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from a breach of this Section 15.8. Customer’s payment of the Liquidated Damages is the Customer’s sole liability and entire obligation and CORL’s exclusive remedy for breach of this Section 15.8.
    15.9 Entire Agreement. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all written or oral prior agreements or understandings with respect thereto.
    15.10 Waiver. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in the Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from the Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
    15.11 Modifications. CORL MAY MODIFY, UPGRADE OR UPDATE THE SERVICES AT ANY TIME IN OUR DISCRETION PROVIDED THAT CORL WILL NOT MATERIALLY REDUCE OR LESSEN THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SERVICES DURING THE SUBSCRIPTION TERM SET FORTH IN AN ORDERING DOCUMENT UNLESS DOING SO IS REQUIRED TO AVOID A VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAWS OR REGULATIONS IN OUR REASONABLE DISCRETION. CORL RESERVES THE RIGHT, AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION, TO CHANGE THE TERMS OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ON A GOING-FORWARD BASIS AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE TO CUSTOMER OTHER THAN LISTING OF A LATER EFFECTIVE DATE THAN THE ONE SET FORTH AT THE TOP OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. SUCH MODIFICATION SHALL BE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON POSTING. AS CUSTOMER’S NEXT USE OF THE SERVICES MAY BE GOVERNED BY DIFFERENT TERMS, CORL ENCOURAGES CUSTOMER TO LOOK FOR A NEW EFFECTIVE DATE ON THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS WHEN USING THE SERVICES. IT IS THE CUSTOMER’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS PERIODICALLY FOR CHANGES. IF CORL MAKES ANY MATERIAL CHANGES TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, CORL WILL ENDEAVOR TO PROVIDE CUSTOMER WITH ADDITIONAL NOTICE OF ANY CHANGES, SUCH AS AT ITS E-MAIL ADDRESS OF RECORD. CUSTOMER’S USE OR CONTINUED USE OF THE SERVICES FOLLOWING THE POSTING OR NOTICE OF ANY CHANGES TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR ANY OTHER POSTED POLICIES SHALL CONSTITUTE CUSTOMER’S ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGED TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR POLICIES. DISPUTES ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE VERSION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT WAS IN EFFECT AT THE TIME THE DISPUTE AROSE.
    15.12 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for delay or failure in performing any of its obligations hereunder due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including an act of nature, war, natural disaster, governmental regulations, terrorism, communication or utility failures or casualties or the failures or acts of third parties.
    15.13 Equitable Relief. Each party acknowledges that a breach by a party of Section 2.3 (Restrictions) or Section 7 (Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality) may cause the non-breaching party irreparable damages, for which an award of damages would not be adequate compensation and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a restraining order, injunctive relief, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from any court, in addition to any other remedy to which the non-breaching party may be entitled at law or in equity. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be exclusive but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, subject to any express exclusions or limitations in the Agreement to the contrary.
    15.14 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of the Agreement.
    15.15 Relationship of Parties. Nothing in the Agreement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a partnership between the parties hereto or constitute or be deemed to constitute one party as agent of the other, for any purpose whatsoever, and neither party shall have the authority or power to bind the other, or to contract in the name of or create a liability against the other, in any way or for any purpose.
    15.16 Publicity. Customer shall permit CORL to feature Customer in public announcements or marketing materials upon execution of the Agreement. Customer grants to CORL a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use the Marks solely for public announcements or marketing materials. CORL shall refrain from issuance or distribution of marketing materials without first obtaining the prior written consent of Customer, which may be provided via e-mail and which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
    15.17 Counterparts. The Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of the Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of the Agreement.
