12. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold Visible and the Visible Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, costs, losses, and other liabilities, including without limitation reasonable attorney, expert witness, and other professional fees, arising from any claims, actions or demands that arise out of or relate to (or are alleged to arise out of or relate to): (a) Your use of the Visible Platform including Your provision of Personal Data or other materials or content to the Visible Platform; (b) Your violation of any provision of this Agreement or misuse of the Visible Platform; or (c) Your violation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, intellectual property or other third party rights in connection with Your use or misuse of the Visible Platform. Visible may in its sole discretion and at any time, even after commencement of the defense, assume control of the defense of any third party claim that is subject to indemnification by You. You agree to provide all reasonable cooperation and assistance in defense of such claims.
Visible shall indemnify, defend and hold You harmless from and against any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from a claim, suit or proceeding brought against You by a third party to the extent it is based on a claim that the Visible Platform infringes a United States patent, copyright or trademark (each, an “Infringement Claim”). Visible’s obligations with respect to this section are conditioned upon: (i) You providing Visible prompt written notice of the Infringement Claim or threat thereof; (ii) You giving Visible full and exclusive authority for the conduct of the defense and settlement of the Infringement Claim and any subsequent appeal; and (iii) You giving Visible all information and assistance reasonably requested by Visible in connection with the conduct of the defense and settlement of the Infringement Claim and any subsequent appeal. If an Infringement Claim has been made, or in Visible’s opinion is likely to be made, Visible may, at its sole option and expense, either: (i) procure for You the right to continue using the Visible Platform; or (ii) replace or modify the Visible Platform so that it becomes non-infringing. If neither of the foregoing options is reasonably available, Visible may immediately terminate both parties’ respective rights and obligations under this Agreement with regard to the Visible Platform, and refund to You a pro-rata amount of any unused, prepaid fees actually paid by You for the Visible Platform. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Visible shall have no obligation to indemnify You to the extent an Infringement Claim arises from (i) the combination, operation or use of the Visible Platform with any other software, data, products or materials not supplied by Visible; (ii) the use of the Visible Platform in violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (iii) the alteration or modification of the Visible Platform; (iv) Visible’s compliance with Your designs, specifications or instructions; or (v) Your continued use of the Visible Platform after Visible has informed You of modifications or changes to the Visible Platform required to avoid the Infringement Claim.
13. Term; Termination of Service
Unless otherwise agreed to between the parties, each Subscription Term will automatically renew either (a) for additional one-month periods if you choose to pay on a monthly basis; or (b) for additional twelve-month periods if you choose to pay on an annual basis, unless either party gives the other written notice of termination at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the then-current Subscription Term.
Visible reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to terminate any and all access to the Visible Platform provided to You at any time without notice for any reason. Visible also reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to discontinue any service or modify any part of the Visible Platform We provide without notice, at any time, and without liability. Visible reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to terminate services provided to You, access to any and all parts of the Visible Platform, and to deactivate Your Visible Account Login Credentials. We shall not be liable to You or any third party if We terminate Your account, and You agree to hold Us harmless and indemnify Us from any third party claims arising from the termination of Your account, except as may be required by applicable law, and no refunds or compensation of any sort will be granted to You if We terminate Your account. You agree that any material breach of this Agreement will result in irreparable harm to Visible for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, Visible will be entitled to equitable relief, including both a preliminary and permanent injunction, if such a breach occurs. You waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if Visible seeks such an injunction.
Upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement, You will immediately cease any and all use of and access to the Visible Platform. You acknowledge that following termination, You will have no further access to any of the data or information You input into the Visible Platform, and that Visible may delete any such data or information as may have been stored in the Visible Platform.
14. Advertisements and Promotions
Visible may conduct advertising campaigns and promotions itself or on behalf of third parties on the Visible Platform. Your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in promotions of, advertisers other than Visible found on or through the Visible Platform, including payment and delivery of related goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between You and such third party. Visible is not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the presence of such non-Visible advertisers on the Visible Platform.
15. Controlling Law; Venue; Service of Process

By accessing and using the Visible Platform, You (and any person or entity on whose behalf You act) hereby agree and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court located in Cook County, Illinois and You hereby waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non-conveniens. You (and any person or entity on whose behalf You act) agree to service of process for any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement via a national private carrier (e.g., FedEx, UPS), and hereby waive personal service.
16. Entire Agreement
This Agreement contains the full understanding between the parties and supersedes all prior representations or agreements, whether oral or written, with respect to such matters. If any provision of the Agreement is held invalid by any law or regulation of any government, or by any court, the parties agree that such provision will be replaced with a new provision that accomplishes the original business purpose, and the other provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
17. No Third Party Beneficiaries
This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties, the Visible Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, and shall not be enforceable by or otherwise be interpreted in such a way as to create any third party beneficiary rights in any third party.

WE MAY FROM TIME TO TIME AMEND, SUPPLEMENT OR MODIFY THE AGREEMENT. IF WE MAKE MATERIAL CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT, WE WILL POST AN UPDATED VERSION OF THE AGREEMENT OR COMMUNICATE NOTICE OF THE CHANGES TO YOU IN SOME OTHER MANNER.

You can review the most current version of this Agreement at any time at https://visible.vc/terms.

If any change to this Agreement is not acceptable to You, Your only remedy is to stop accessing and using the Visible Platform.
19. Amendments; Waiver
Except as provided herein, no supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement will be binding, unless executed in writing by a duly authorized representative of each party to this Agreement.
No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under this Agreement, nor will any waiver be effective unless in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative on behalf of the party claimed to have waived. No provision of any purchase order or other business form employed by You will supersede the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any such document relating to this Agreement will be for administrative purposes only and will have no legal effect.
20. Time Limit to Bring Claims
To the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims against Visible or the Visible Parties arising out of this Agreement shall be filed within one (1) year of the date on which the event(s) first giving rise to the claim arose, and any claims not brought within such one-year limits shall be permanently barred.
