7. Indemnification.
Each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party and its directors, officers, contractors, employees, agents, and consultants (the “Indemnified Group”), from and against any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, made or claimed by a third party arising out of or related to: (i) the Indemnifying Party’s the breach of these Terms of Service, including of any representations and warranties made herein; and (ii) the Indemnifying Party’s violation of any rights of any third party or the Indemnified Group that arises out of or relates to these Terms of Service.
8. Limitation of Liability.
Neither party shall be liable for any consequential, indirect, exemplary, special, or incidental damages, or for damages for lost profits, arising out of or related to these Terms of Service, however caused and regardless of the theory of liability (including without limitation negligence), even if the party has been advised of the possibility of such damage. Each party’s liability arising out of or related to these Terms of Service shall not exceed and is limited to the total amount of Fees paid by Customer in the 12-month period immediately before the event giving rise to liability. This Section 8 shall not apply to a party’s breach of Section 2(A), 6, to the payment of Fees when due, or to a party’s indemnification obligations herein.
9. General.
(a) All notices given under these Terms of Service shall be in writing and will be effective when received by the party to whom directed. All notices shall be delivered by hand or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the party’s address on the Order Form, or sent by email, with confirmation of receipt, addressed to the party’s email address on the Order Form. A party may update its notice address by giving notice to the other party.
(b) These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of laws principles. An action brought by either party under these Terms of Service shall be brought only to a state or federal court located in Collin County, Texas. Each party submits to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waives any objection to such courts. AND/OR AVH may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party hereby waives any right it has or may have to a jury trial in any action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms of Service.
(c) The breach or threatened breach by the Customer of these Terms of Service would be highly prejudicial to the interest of AND/OR AVH and would materially damage AND/OR AVH. Therefore, AND/OR AVH will be presumed entitled to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to remedy or prevent such breach or threatened breach, without the obligation to post a bond and in addition to any other remedy that may be available at law or equity.
(d) No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created because of these Terms of Service. These Terms of Service and the Order Form state the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Services and supersede all previous discussions, negotiations, and agreements. The failure of any party to insist upon the performance of any provision of these Terms of Service or to exercise any right or privilege granted to such party under these Terms of Service will not be construed as waiving such provision or any other provision hereof. Neither party may assign these Terms of Service without the written consent of the other party; provided, that either party may assign these Terms of Service without the other party’s consent(i) to the acquirer in connection with the sale, transfer, or other disposition by such party of all or substantially all of its assets or to the surviving or resulting entity in a merger or reorganization. If any provision of these Terms of Service is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties intend that the provision be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted under law and therefore request that the court reform the invalid or unenforceable provision to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted; if the court refuses to modify or reform the provision, then the provision shall be severed from these Terms of Service with no effect upon the remaining provisions. Any amendment or addition to these Terms of Service will be effective only if in writing and signed by both Parties.

We reserve the right to change this policy at any time, and if we do so, we will post changes and updates to this page. Please refer to this policy periodically to inform yourself if changes have been made.
We collect certain information through our website, located at http://www.textdrive.io (our “Website”). This page (this “Privacy Policy”) lays out our policies and procedures surrounding the collection and handling of any such information that identifies an individual user or that could be used to contact or locate him or her (“Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII”).

We collect the following Personally Identifiable Information from users who buy our products and services: name, email address, telephone number, address, and credit card number.

Information obtained through these means that relates to the user’s client or customer to be invoiced through TextDrive may at times be referred to as “Third-Party Client Information” throughout this Privacy Policy.
Additional information from or about you may also be collected in other ways, including responses to customer surveys and any communications with our customer service team.
We use “cookies” so that our Website can remember you and provide you with the information you’re most likely to need. For instance, when you return to the Website, cookies identify you and prompt the site to provide your username (not your password), so you can sign in more quickly. Cookies also allow our Website to remind you of your past usage and to suggest similar products and services.

TextDrive may use certain information about you without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as analyzing how the Service is used, diagnosing service or technical problems, maintaining security, and personalizing content.
Protecting Personal Information
Information that can be used to identify a person is “Personally Identifiable Information”. This does not include information that has been aggregated or made anonymous.

We employ the highest in industry standards to protect Personally Identifiable Information, as well as any information provided relating to your invoiced customers.
Third-party client and customer information, provided to TextDrive by users, shall be considered confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party, unless required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to conform to the law, or comply with legal process served on us. Such information shall be utilized only for the purpose for which TextDrive was created, which is to facilitate the billing and collection process for electronic billing of customers and clients.

TextDrive will share your Personal Information with a limited number of TextDrive partners for the explicit purpose of providing services to you. If we do this, such third parties’ use of your Personal Information will be bound by terms at least as restrictive as this Privacy Policy.
As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customer, transaction, email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, bankruptcy, mergers, or dissolution.
Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, TextDrive will not disclose Personal Information to any third party unless required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (b) to enforce our User Agreement, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, or to protect the security or integrity of our site; and (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of TextDrive, our customers or others.
Compromise of Personal Information
In the event that personal information is compromised as a result of a breach of security, TextDrive will promptly notify those persons whose personal information has been compromised, in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Policy, by email, or as otherwise required by applicable law.
TextDrive shall not be liable for the transfer of any personal identification information resulting from loss or distribution of data, the delineation or corruption of storage media, power failures, natural phenomena, riots, acts of vandalism, sabotage, terrorism or any other event beyond TextDrive's control.
