You retain all rights to your Customer Content. Blue Dasher does not own or license your data.

5.2 Customer Accounts
You're solely responsible for your account configuration, the operation and security of your equipment and networks, and all use of the Services by you and your users.

6. Compliance with Laws
Each party will comply with all applicable laws, including export and import laws and data-protection and privacy laws. You must provide required privacy disclosures to affected individuals and obtain any required consents. We may terminate immediately for non-compliance.
7. Warranties
Blue Dasher warrants that the Services will conform to the Service Descriptions under normal use. We make no other representations or warranties.
We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free, will work in combination with any specific hardware or software, will meet your requirements, or that errors will be corrected.
Your exclusive remedy and our entire liability under this warranty is, at our option, to provide a conforming Service or to terminate the Services and refund prepaid Fees for the non-conforming period through the end of the Term.
To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all other warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
8. Indemnification
8.1 By Blue Dasher
We'll defend you against third-party claims that your authorized use of the Services infringes a third-party intellectual property right and pay reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, damages awarded, and settlement costs — provided you promptly notify us in writing, give us sole control of the defense and settlement, and reasonably assist.
8.2 Infringement Cures
If your use of the Services is enjoined (or likely to be), we may, at our option, (i) procure your right to keep using the Services, (ii) modify the Services to be non-infringing without material loss of functionality, or (iii) terminate the Agreement.
8.3 Limitations
We have no obligation for infringement claims arising from (i) your continued use of the Services after notice of a claim, (ii) modifications to the Services made without our consent, (iii) your combination of the Services with third-party software or hardware, or (iv) any trademark or copyright issue involving branding not applied by us.
8.4 Exclusive Remedy
The foregoing states our sole liability and your exclusive remedy for any infringement claim.
8.5 By Customer
You'll indemnify and defend Blue Dasher against any third-party claim resulting from your, your users', or your affiliates' breach of the Agreement, and pay reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, damages awarded, and settlement costs.
9. Limitation of Liability
Neither party is liable to the other for any indirect, special, consequential, or incidental damages, including loss of data, income, opportunity, profits, or recovery costs, regardless of the theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility of those damages.
Each party's total cumulative liability under the Agreement is limited to the amounts paid for the applicable Service in the 12 months immediately preceding the incident.
The foregoing does not limit your obligation to pay any Fees due.
10. Additional Terms
10.1 Customer Brand Assets
During the Term you grant Blue Dasher the right to use your name and logo on our website and marketing materials. You may revoke this in writing at any time.
10.2 Beta or Labs Services
Beta or Labs Services are provided "as is" without warranty or indemnity and may contain bugs. We may modify or cancel them at any time without notice and have no obligation to make them generally available. Any feedback you provide is licensed to us perpetually and royalty-free for use in any product.

10.5 Suspension of Service
We may temporarily suspend the Services if their continued provision would compromise their security (for example, due to attacks). We'll notify you and reactivate promptly when the issue is resolved.
10.6 High-Risk Use
The Services are not designed for high-risk activities such as medical procedures, online control of aircraft or air traffic, or operation of any nuclear facility. They are not for emergency service calls. We disclaim any fitness warranty for such uses.
10.7 Recordings
If a Service offers recording functionality, you are solely responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local laws when using it.
10.8 Assignment
Neither party may assign rights or delegate duties under the Agreement without the other's prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), except as part of a merger or sale of substantially all assets. Assignments without consent are void.
10.9 Notices
Legal notices must be in writing, delivered in person or by certified mail to the address on file. Notices are deemed given upon personal delivery, on confirmed receipt by air courier or email, or five days after mailing. Non-legal notices may be sent to the email address on your Order and are effective the next business day.
10.10 Entire Agreement
This Agreement supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreement relating to the Services. In a conflict between an executed Order, the Terms, and a Service Description, that order of precedence applies for the specific Services.
10.11 General
If any provision is found invalid, the rest remains in effect. The parties are independent contractors; nothing creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship. No third-party beneficiaries. Waivers and amendments must be in writing. Failure to enforce a term is not a waiver. Neither party is responsible for delays caused by force majeure (natural disasters, war, government action, carrier or ISP outages, labor disputes, etc.).

- email with invalid or forged headers;
- use of Blue Dasher's or any third party's domain or equipment to send mail without consent;
- inclusion of Blue Dasher–hosted URLs in UCE;
- subject lines containing false or misleading information;
- use of harvested or unconsented mailing lists;
- any deceptive addressing or misrepresentation;
- interfering with another party's use of our Services.
