the Software or modify it so that it becomes noninfringing, or (c) terminate

WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BREACH OF WARRANTY),
TORT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR
NOT IT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE TOTAL AGGREGATE
LIABILITY OF LEAGUEMINDER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE
TOTAL AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID TO LEAGUEMINDER BY LICENSEE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
DURING THE ONE (1) YEAR PERIOD PRIOR TO THE DATE(S) ON WHICH THE CLAIM(S) AROSE.
10. GENERAL TERMS
This Agreement, and any and all tort claims that may arise in connection with
the Software and any related services, will be governed by the substantive laws
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Neither this Agreement nor any rights granted
hereby may be assigned by Licensee without the prior written consent of LeagueMinder.
If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. LeagueMinder and Licensee
will be and shall act as independent contractors, and neither party is authorized
to act as an agent or partner of, or joint venturer with, the other party for
any purpose. Neither party by virtue of this Agreement shall have any right,
power, or authority to act or create any obligation, express or implied, on
behalf of the other party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section
10.1, in the event that (a) Licensee [or any user authorized by Licensee] attempts
or threatens to use, copy, license, or convey the items supplied by LeagueMinder
hereunder in a manner contrary to the terms of this Agreement, or (b) either
party attempts or threatens to violate its obligations under Section 5, the
aggrieved party shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to it,
the right to injunctive relief. Each party hereby acknowledges that other remedies
at law are inadequate in the circumstances set forth herein. Neither party shall
be liable for any damages or penalty for any delay in performance of, or failure
to perform, any obligation hereunder or for failure to give the other party
prior notice thereof when such delay or failure is due to the elements, acts
of God, delays in transportation, delays or nonperformance by third party vendors
or other causes beyond that party's reasonable control. No express or implied
waiver by either party of any event of default hereunder shall in any way be,
or be construed as, a waiver of any future or subsequent event of default. The
respective rights and obligations of the parties under Sections 3, 4, 5, 7.3,
8, 9 and 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Licensee agrees
to be bound by LeagueMinder's privacy policy, terms of use or other policies
governing the use of the Software or the Website, which policies are hereby
incorporated into this Agreement by this reference, as such may be posted on
the Website from time to time. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement,

and integrated understanding of the parties which supersedes all proposals or
prior agreements, oral or written, and all other prior communications between
the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
