In no event will your privacy policy conflict with the use and disclosure of the Customer Data as described in this Agreement. You may use the OnlineAgency Privacy Policy (http://affiliates.onlineagency.com/public/privacy.htm) as a guideline, but we are not responsible or liable for any damages or claims arising from the use of our Privacy Policy. You should seek legal counsel to help you determine whether you should have a privacy policy and to review any privacy policy you plan to post on your Member Site. You agree, at your own expense, to defend, indemnify and hold OnlineAgency, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, contractors, representatives, and agents harmless from and against all third party claims, suits, demands, proceedings, losses or expenses (including court costs, experts' fees and attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) your privacy policy or lack thereof or adoption thereof, or (b) use or misuse of the Customer Data.

Service Provider and third party service providers and suppliers disclaim all liability under any theory of liability, whether in an action based on a contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, however arising, for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages of any kind, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, use data, business interruption, goodwill or other intangible, even if Service Provider and the third party service providers and suppliers have been advised of such damages.
