Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and subject to the remainder of this Section 8, neither party’s aggregate limit on monetary damages shall exceed an amount equal to twelve times (12x) the average ongoing monthly fees paid or payable to Leap by you during the twelve (12) months preceding such claim (the “Ordinary Cap”).
EXTRAORDINARY CAP. As an exception to the Ordinary Cap, if damages arise from a breach of Section 5 (Confidentiality) based on negligence or willful misconduct, the Ordinary Cap will be increased by an additional twelve times (12x) the average ongoing monthly fees paid or payable to Leap by you during the twelve (12) months preceding such claim.
FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, IN NO CASE SHALL EITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIMIT ON MONETARY DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO 24 TIMES THE AVERAGE MONTHLY ONGOING SERVICES FEES PAID OR PAYABLE TO LEAP BY YOU DURING SUCH CALENDAR YEAR FOR ALL SERVICES.
YOU AGREE AT OUR REQUEST TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD LEAP AND THE LEAP 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 BRAND PORTAL INCLUDING YOUR PROVISION OF INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS OR CONTENT TO THE BRAND PORTAL; (B) YOUR VIOLATION OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT; OR (C) YOUR VIOLATION OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW, RULE, REGULATION, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR OTHER THIRD PARTY RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE BRAND PORTAL OR ANY USER CONTENT. LEAP 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.

9. Termination of Service
Leap reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to terminate any and all access to the Brand Portal provided to you at any time without notice for any reason. Leap also reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to discontinue any service or modify any part of the Brand Portal or any service we provide under this Agreement without notice, at any time, and without liability. Leap reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to terminate services provided to you, access to any and all parts of the Brand Portal, and to deactivate your Leap 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 any refunds or compensation of any sort will be at Leap’s sole discretion. You agree that any material breach of this Agreement will result in irreparable harm to Leap for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, Leap 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 Leap seeks such an injunction.
