INDEMNIFICATION.
Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BugMonitor.com and its affiliates, employees, agents,

Because Subscriber will access the Service or Software over the public Internet, temporary disruptions
of network connectivity will occur from time to time. Internet traffic is usually routed through many
different Internet backbone providers on the way to its destination. BugMonitor.com will not be liable
for interruption or delays in transmission or errors or defects in transmission or failure to transmit
when caused by any Internet backbone provider.
MISCELLANY.
This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between BugMonitor.com and Subscriber, and expressly
supersedes any prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements between the parties regarding the
subject matter hereof, including without limitation any unilateral offer, purchase order or other
similar instrument in writing. This Agreement may not be amended, altered or changed except by a
written agreement signed by both parties.
In the event that any court having jurisdiction shall determine that any provision contained in the
Agreement is unreasonable or unenforceable in any respect, then such provision shall be deemed limited
to the extent that such court deems it reasonable and enforceable, and as so limited shall remain in
full force and effect. In the event that such court shall deem any such provision wholly unenforceable,
the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.
Subscriber's rights in this Agreement are personal and are not assignable. The subscriber's user id
is not transferable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BugMonitor.com may assign or transfer its rights
and obligations under this Agreement to third parties.
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with Georgia law. The parties agree
that any claim, controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled
by final and arbitration to be conducted by an arbitration tribunal in Duluth, Georgia in accordance
with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the decision of the
arbitrator(s) shall be binding; provided that BugMonitor.com may bring or defend an action (1)
involving allegations of personal injury to a third party, or (2) for injunctive or other equitable
or extraordinary relief, in a court of law. Subscriber agrees to be bound by the jurisdiction and
venue of Fulton County, Superior Court, State of Georgia.
The remedies provided in this Agreement and otherwise at law or in equity are cumulative and not
exclusive. The failure by either party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise
available at law or in equity will not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent right or remedy.
No person or entity who is not a party to this Agreement shall derive any rights whatsoever hereunder
as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

bound by the terms thereof. This Agreement will become effective upon Subscriber's acceptance by
electronic acknowledgment on the Service website. Each time Subscriber logs into the Service, Subscriber
