11.1 Confidentiality. All confidential information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party“) to the other party (“Receiving Party“), whether orally or in writing, that is designated in writing as confidential (“Confidential Information”) will be safeguarded by the Receiving Party to the same extent that the Receiving Party safeguards its own information of like kind, but using not less than a reasonable degree of care. The Receiving Party shall not use Confidential Information for any purpose outside the scope of this agreement or disclose Confidential Information to any third party (except as explicitly stated in our Privacy Policy). The Receiving Party’s obligations under this section shall not apply to information which is publicly available through no fault of the Receiving Party, already in Receiving Party’s possession without obligation of confidentiality, rightfully obtained by Receiving Party from third parties not under obligation of confidentiality, or independently developed by Receiving Party as evidenced by written documentation. If the Receiving Party is requested pursuant to a court or government order to disclose Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will give the Disclosing Party written notice (if not legally prohibited from doing so) sufficient to enable the Disclosing Party to seek protective order and the Receiving Party will cooperate with the Disclosing Party in such effort.

11.2 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this agreement, or rights or obligations under it, without our prior written consent. We may assign this agreement, in whole or in part, without restriction. Any assignment or transfer in violation of the foregoing shall be deemed void and of no effect. Subject to the foregoing, the provisions of this agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

11.3 Force Majeure. We shall not be liable for failure or delay of performance of our obligations resulting from any condition beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to, third party equipment or services, communications failure, governmental action, war, acts of terrorism, earthquake, fire, flood or other acts of God, pandemic, labor conditions, power failures, and Internet disturbances.

11.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Attorneys’ Fees. These Event Terms will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. No choice of law principles will apply to this agreement. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and any jurisdiction’s adoption of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (or any similar law) will not apply to this agreement. Each party irrevocably consents to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to settle any dispute or claim that arises out of or in connection with these Event Terms or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims). The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees in any action brought under these Event Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claim by either party against the other pursuant to the indemnity clauses of this agreement, may be brought in the court or instance in which the third party claim that is the subject of the indemnity, has been lodged against that party.

11.8 No Waiver. No failure or delay by Semrush to exercise any right or remedy will be a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on one occasion will not be a waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.

11.9 Severability. If any provision of these Event Terms is found by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, this shall not impair the operation of these Event Terms or affect the other provisions which are valid.

11.10 Relationship of the Parties. These Event Terms do not create or imply any agency, partnership or franchise relationship. Nothing in these Event Terms, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any third party any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever.
