The parties do not expect that any personal data will be disclosed by one party to the other through Customer’s use of the Services.
9.1 Varos will endeavor to have the Services operate properly. However, as a service that relies on back- end software, infrastructure, servers, third-party networks, and continuous internet connectivity, it cannot guarantee that the Services will operate in an uninterrupted or error-free manner, or that it will always be available, or free from errors, omissions or malfunctions. If Varos becomes aware of any failure or malfunction, it shall attempt to regain the Service’s availability as soon as practicable. However, such incidents will not be considered a breach of these Terms.
9.2 During the Term, Varos, either directly or with the assistance of third parties, will endeavor to provide Customer with technical support for technical questions, problems, and inquiries regarding the Services, during Varos’ business days and hours, and pursuant to its then-applicable support scheme, hours and channels. Varos will attempt to respond to Customer’s technical questions, problems and inquiries as soon as practicably possible. However, Varos makes no warranties to the successful or satisfactory resolution of the question, problem or inquiry; and may decline to provide such support for matters that it deems, in its sole discretion, to require unreasonable time, effort, costs or expenses. For the purpose of the provision of technical support for Customer’s technical questions, problems and inquiries, Customer will cooperate, and work closely with Varos, to reproduce malfunctions, including conducting diagnostic or troubleshooting activities, as Varos reasonably requests.

(a) Customer shall cease and shall ensure that its Users cease any and all use of the Services;

Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Varos and its directors, officers, employees, and subcontractors, upon Varos’ request and at Customer’s expense, from, and against, any damages, loss, costs, expenses and payments, including reasonable attorney’s fees and legal expenses, arising from any third-party complaint, claim, plea, or demand in connection with Customer’s or any Customer’s Users’ breach of any provision in this Agreement.
14.1 Regardless of Customer’s jurisdiction of incorporation, or the jurisdiction where it engages in business or from where it accesses the Services, this Agreement and Customer’s use of the Services will be exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding any otherwise applicable rules of conflict of laws, which would result in the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than New York. Any dispute, controversy or claim which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Services, shall be submitted to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the competent court in New York City. Subject to Section 14.2 below, Customer and Varos hereby expressly consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts, and waive any objections related thereto including objections on the grounds of improper venue, lack of personal jurisdiction or forum non conveniens.
14.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Varos may also lodge a claim against Customer: (a) pursuant to the indemnity clause above, in any court adjudicating a third party claim against Varos; and (b) for interim, emergency or injunctive relief in any other court having general jurisdiction over Customer.

15.3 Entire Agreement and Severability. This Agreement constitutes the entire and complete agreement between Customer and its Users and between Varos concerning the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior oral or written statements, understandings, negotiations and representations with respect to the subject matter herein.
