the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the
changes. Additionally, you acknowledge and agree that KT Benefits may modify,
alter, update, improve or otherwise change the VOKA Portal from time to time so

WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT OR QUIET ENJOYMENT, AS WELL AS ANY WARRANTIES THAT THE VOKA

IN NO EVENT WILL KT BENEFITS, ITS AFFILIATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE MEMBERS, SHAREHOLDERS,

CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF REVENUE AND LOSS OF

OR INABILITY TO USE, THE VOKA PORTAL. KT BENEFITS'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY RELATING
TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE VOKA PORTAL SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED

TERMS OF USE BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
-

all related information and contents are confidential (the “Confidential Information”).
You shall: (i) not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party at
any time and shall limit disclosure of Confidential Information within your own
organization to your employees or third parties authorized by KT Benefits in
writing; (ii) not use the Confidential Information for any reason other than as
contemplated by these Terms of Use and any other agreement between you and KT
Benefits; and (iii) protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information
with at least the same degree of care as you use to protect your own Confidential
Information of a like nature, but no less than a reasonable degree of care.
-
Indemnification. You will indemnify,
defend and hold harmless KT Benefits, its affiliates, and their respective
members, shareholders, partners, owners, officers, directors, employees,
licensors, agents and representatives from and against any claims, liabilities,
damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses or fees (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of, or relating to: (i) your use of the
VOKA Portal or your breach of these Terms of Use; (ii) your User Contributions or
any other content or material you submit or otherwise transmit through the VOKA
Portal; or (iii) your violation of any rights of another. KT Benefits reserves
the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of
any matter otherwise subject to defense by you.
-
Local Laws and Export Control.
The VOKA Portal provides services and uses software and technology that may be
subject to United States export controls administered by the U.S. Department of
Commerce, the United States Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets
Control, and other U.S. agencies. You acknowledge and agree that the VOKA
Portal shall not be used in, and none of the underlying information, software,
or technology may be transferred or otherwise exported or re-exported to,
countries as to which the United States maintains an embargo (collectively, “Embargoed
Countries”), or to or by a national or resident thereof, or any person or
entity on the U.S. Department of Treasury’s List of Specially Designated
Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Table of Denial Orders
(collectively, “Designated Nationals”). The lists of Embargoed Countries and Designated
Nationals are subject to change without notice. By using the VOKA Portal, you
represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a
national or resident of an Embargoed Country or Designated National. You agree
to comply strictly with all U.S. export laws and assume sole responsibility for
obtaining licenses to export or re-export as may be required. Further, the VOKA
Portal may use encryption technology that is subject to licensing requirements
under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, 15 C.F.R. Parts 730-774 and
Council Regulation (EC) No. 1334/2000. KT Benefits and its licensors make no
representation that the VOKA Portal is appropriate or available for use in
other locations. If you use the VOKA Portal from outside the United States of
America, you are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws,
including without limitation export and import regulations of other countries.
-
Governing Law and Jurisdiction.
These Terms and Conditions are governed exclusively by the internal laws of the
State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules.
-
Assignment. These Terms of Use
may not be assigned by you without the prior written approval of KT Benefits but
may be assigned without your consent by KT Benefits to (i) a parent or
subsidiary, (ii) an acquirer of assets, or (iii) a successor by merger. Any
purported assignment in violation of this section shall be void. Without
limiting the foregoing, any actual or proposed change in control of you that
results or would result in a direct competitor of KT Benefits directly or
indirectly owning or controlling 50% or more of you shall entitle KT Benefits to
terminate this Agreement for cause immediately upon written notice.
-
Miscellaneous. These Terms of Use do
not limit any rights that KT Benefits may have pursuant to any intellectual
property laws or any other laws. All rights and remedies available to KT
Benefits, pursuant to these Terms of Use or otherwise, at law or in equity, are
cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that may be
available to KT Benefits. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then such
provision(s) shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the
intentions of the invalid or unenforceable provision(s), with all other
provisions remaining in full force and effect. All headings included in these Terms
of Use are included for convenience only, and shall not be considered in
interpreting these Terms of Use. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or
agency relationship exists between you and KT Benefits as a result of these Terms
of Use or use of the VOKA Portal. The failure of KT Benefits to enforce any
right or provision in these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such
right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by KT Benefits in writing.
Any sections or terms which by their nature should survive or are otherwise
necessary to enforce the purpose of these Terms of Use, will survive the
termination of these Terms of Use. These Terms of Use, together with any other
agreements between you and KT Benefits, comprise the entire agreement between
you and KT Benefits and supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations,
discussions or agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties
regarding the subject matter contained herein.
